Chapter 1073 Yang Yinglong's Provocation
Yang Yinglong is really not a peaceful person.

I don't know if it's a born rebellious boy or a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Facing such a behemoth as Daming, he dared to fight against it.

Now that the Great Qin replaced the Great Ming and strengthened local rule, the management of chieftains was obviously stronger than before, such as the census of the population and the number of approved land, but it did not mention taxation, but such actions inevitably made people suspicious.

But some people were just skeptical and didn't think too much, but some people's heads became restless, and they couldn't help but start intimidating themselves, thinking that Daqin was about to do something to them, and would definitely kill their whole family. Must rise up and resist.

During the Northern Expedition of the Qin Army, these guys wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but they did not expect the Qin Army to be so sharp, and even left a considerable garrison in various places to guard against them, as if they had taken on the responsibility of the central dynasty. The junior Shaoxiao was timid.

When Daqin sacrificed the magic weapon of land reform, Handi Xiaoxiao was arrested without a fight. Of course, some people were more ghosts and fled directly to the chieftain's territory to seek political protection.

The land reform officials and the Qin army did not chase after them, and they survived. However, the news of the land reform carried out by the Great Qin Empire reached the ears of the chieftains, making them also start to be vigilant.

It’s not that they are wary of the Qin Empire’s land reform actions that will hurt them. In their eyes, it doesn’t matter what land reform is or not.

As a result, until the Great Qin Liguo promulgated the imperial edict, the Qin army did not appear to attack.

Among these chieftains, Yang Yinglong was the one who danced the most happily, and he was also the one who insisted that Da Qin would definitely do something.

For this reason, he continued to collect money in his own territory to expand his army, causing the people and even some small native officials to suffer, and they wrote to Sichuan governor Wang Xianggan for help.

Wang Xiangqian was originally very dissatisfied with Yang Yinglong because of his resistance to household registration and land statistics. Now that he heard the news, he was even more sure that Yang Yinglong was plotting something wrong, so he sent three letters to Xiao Ruxun to get ready.

Xiao Ruxun knew more and more details than Wang Xiangqian without Wang Xianggan's submission. Heishui was not a freelancer. He knew how many eunuchs Yang Yinglong used in his family.

It's just that right now, when Liaodong is deploying troops and annexing the Jianzhou Jurchen Department, it's not the time to start a war in Sichuan. Xiao Ruxun told Wang Xiangqian and Ma Qiancheng to be prudent and cautious. Now is not the time for war. Time to fight.

Not only is there no energy, once the war starts, it will cost a lot to mobilize the army, but fortunately, the harvest in Jiangnan this year is very good. The potatoes and corn planted in Jiangnan have a bumper harvest, and the rice has also had a bumper harvest. enriched.

If we want to go to war, we still need to use ships to transport the food from all parts of the south of the Yangtze River to the war zone along the river. This is also time. Although Xiao Ruxun has already ordered this way, it will take at least a month for the food to arrive.

There are only [-] to [-] officers and soldiers in Sichuan, and they are mainly responsible for guarding and protecting the cities in Handi. Many of them are from the original team of the former Ming Dynasty.

The real Qin army elites are located near Chengdu and Shizhu Xuanfu Division, each with more than 2 elite soldiers, and they are the main force to deter Sichuan.

Sichuan has not yet undergone land reform, and the local situation is very complicated. Except for the vicinity of Chengdu and the Shizhu area, most of the areas are still used by the same people and maintained stability. If the war breaks out, Sichuan will definitely reshuffle.

This is Xiao Ruxun's purpose. After this battle, he will complete the land reform in Sichuan, and then go directly to Yunnan and Guangxi to focus on key problems, and bring these two places under the command of the central government.

Although this is very good, it requires a lot of energy from the court. Once a war starts, there is no need to rest. The entire court will revolve around this matter, so the court's energy needs to be concentrated so that no troubles can occur elsewhere.

If Yang Yinglong didn't rebel according to his timetable, he would definitely use the elite Xuanwu battalion from Changde and Xiangyang, and he would be very distressed.

So he allowed Ma Qiancheng to dispatch troops to Chongqing to deter Yang Yinglong and let him be honest for a while, but it may be that he was prepared for a longer period of time than in the original history. His strength is a little stronger than before, and his courage has doubled.

So after being threatened by Chongqing's increase of troops for the first time, he actually sent troops to Sanyuanba for the second time, a total of 5000 people, with a provocative posture, showing his muscles to Ma Qiancheng, and also to him, The emperor of Daqin showed his muscles.

So Xiao Ruxun directly smashed the teacup.

"presumptuous!"

Xiao Ruxun stood up, eyes full of murderous intent: "A mere chieftain dares to provoke me, Daqin, he doesn't know how to live or die."

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

More than a dozen main officials of the staff department spoke together, and Liu Huangshang said more bluntly: "The previous time Yang Yinglong retreated in fear and accepted the request of the census of population and land. This time, he actually sent troops to Sanyuanba on his own initiative. The soldiers and horses are actually provocative, and the contrast between the front and the back is so great, if there is no one to back it up, it will be very difficult."

"what do you mean?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at Liu Huangshang.

"Your Majesty, I think that the replacement of Da Ming by Da Qin will make some people think that they can do whatever they want. They are unwilling to accept the rule of Da Qin and want to break away from Da Qin and stand on their own.

In Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, chieftains are everywhere. During the reign of Hongwu and Yongle in the former Ming Dynasty, the chieftain of Sichuan in Guizhou was frightened by the prosperity of the former Ming Dynasty and had to surrender. During the reign of Yongle, the chieftains were in civil strife. Inheritance and announcement of the political envoy division, directly under the central government.

However, in the past 200 years, the rule of the former Ming Dynasty has declined day by day, and it can only control important cities. The localities are managed by chieftains. It is conceivable that the central government puts it in the eyes. "

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath.

"The Yang family of Bozhou, the Xi'an family of Shui, the Song family of Shuidong, and the Tian family of Sizhou."

Liu Huangshang nodded.

"Your Majesty, these four major chieftains have great influence in Sichuan and Guizhou. Although they cannot be compared with those before the Ming Dynasty, they are much stronger than those in the Hongwu Yongle period. After all, they are their ancestral lands. For more than 800 years, the world It has been rooted here for generations, and it is extremely difficult to eradicate it, even if Emperor Yongle can reform the land and return it to the people, he cannot eradicate its troubles."

Xiao Ruxun sat on the dragon chair again and thought deeply for a while.

"It's not difficult to eradicate it, Xie He can do it, but before that, it needs a war to completely defeat its leadership, and then completely destroy its original structure through land reform, and then it can be eradicated, but right now, Except for the Banzhou Yang family, what about the other three?"
