The use of troops in the southwest is different from that in the north, and it is so oppressed by the Mongols in the north, and it also knows soft means such as peace talks and mutual markets, but in the southwest, it is a typing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Yang family is so tossed in Banzhou, the reason why the Ming officials pretend to be confused is nothing more than that they are afraid of trouble, the left and right are barren lands, they are all the families of Jiumiao, and they can go with him to fight, kill and kill, just have a sense of proportion, but the Yang family is so unaware of convergence, and even attacked the state and county where the Han people lived, killing the officials and gentry, which can not sit idly by.

The local officials around Banzhou also knew in their hearts that the officers and soldiers of Sichuan, Guizhou and Huguang were weak and could not afford to fight, and if they hastily mobilized troops and horses to exterminate them, they would be defeated by the soldiers of the Yang family, and the army would be dispersed, not to mention that the Yang family had obtained the supplies and ordnance of the officers and soldiers, and the power of the prisoners would rise greatly, and this people's fluctuation would be a fatal trouble.

At present, the chaos of the Yang family has not spread, and the local government can say to the above that it is slowly preparing, and it is going to suffer a big defeat, and the responsible cadres will be imprisoned.

Therefore, from the eighteenth year of Wanli to tear his face and fight, the Yang family was not able to fight out of Banzhou in a hurry, the terrain was a barrier for him, and it was also an obstacle, and the officials related to Sichuan, Guizhou and Huguang have been mobilizing forces to prepare and operate in the imperial court.

The one who really has a relationship is the one who has been transferred, and the one who has a shallower relationship is to complain on the one hand, and send the real situation to Beijing on the other.

Sichuan, Guizhou, Husan and even the surrounding areas, in the political system of the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Emperor's line did not reach out much, and it still belonged to the traditional Wenchen jurisdiction, although it was quite awkward to say so.

The central members of the six cabinet departments are all experienced in the sea for a long time, and they can clearly see what truth is hidden behind the official articles, according to Wang Xijue's words: "...... Don't send anyone over again. I'm afraid it's about to erode ......"

The tone was set, and in accordance with the previous rules, a Wenchen was sent over to take charge of this matter, which was Li Hualong, the military of the three provinces of Governor Sichuan, Chu and Yan.

Although Li Hualong was born as a scholar, he was unlucky and did not have the opportunity to qualify in Beijing, so he went to the local magistrate to become a magistrate, and then walked step by step, mixed with a waiter in Nanjing, and then sent to Liaodong as a governor, and after a few years as a local magistrate, he returned to Nanjing. Left and right can not enter the Beijing Division, but such a rich experience, and in office to do a few real things in the office is very rare, such a chaotic situation in Sichuan is suitable for such a capable minister.

Li Hualong, who had been the governor of a border town, knew a lot about military affairs, but after going to Sichuan, he found that the situation here was much more difficult than he thought.

Sichuan, Huguang and Guizhou are not without soldiers who can fight, in fact, the proportion of soldiers who can fight is still very high, but most of these people are the so-called Miao soldiers, that is, the infantry with the theme of the Miao people, Yao people and other southwestern ethnic groups who have been naturalized for a long time.

But in the current situation, these forces cannot be used, because these Miao soldiers are also under the control of naturalized Tusi. And Banzhou also belongs to the Tusi regime, if you use Miao soldiers to fight, don't be subdued by the Banzhou Yang family, but become a scourge and a force for the other party.

In fact, many Tusi who were close to Banzhou took the initiative to ask for war, because the Yang family had infringed on their interests, and even though they were of the same clan, they couldn't bear it.

Governor Li Hualong is still cautious. It's not that I don't want to use it, but the forces that can be used in the three provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu are too little and too weak" If there is a slight problem, people's hearts are fluctuating, it is the situation of the collapse of the whole province, and we must be cautious and dare not make the slightest mistake."

Li Hualong sent people to fight with Yang Jiaxu and the snake, and everyone asked for the guilt in a fake way, while mobilizing forces from all over the country to divide troops to encircle them.

After all, Banzhou of the Yang family is a corner of the land, and the power that can be mobilized is like that, and he has dozens of tunbao around Banzhou, two states and counties, and hundreds of villages, but this is also the range, and then outward, the soldiers and horses of the three provinces will win and lose each other with him, and it is a tug-of-war situation.

Li Hualong did a decent job, mobilized soldiers and horses from all over the country to gather in the area of Hejiang County, hoarded grain and grass, requisitioned people, and waited until the absolute superiority of the force was reached, and then entered the well for a general attack.

However, the terrain of Banzhou is dangerous, and the combat power of the Yang family and the Miao soldiers of the alliance is quite strong, so it is necessary to make a sufficient margin, that is to say, the bigger the grasp, the better, the greater the "grasp,." As the governor of the shogunate and the governors of several provinces knew, there were no 100,000 soldiers, and no 100,000 soldiers could be used for a year's food, and they should not be moved lightly.

Mobilize these people, grain and grass, and try not to alarm the capital and the locality, and not cause too many twists and turns, at least more than three years to be honest, three years is not too much, Jing Bei is dealing with such an enemy, what Li Hualong did is also his duty, it is a completely safe approach.

But in the nineteenth year of Wanli, Li Hualong's friend in Beijing wrote a letter, which was quite straightforward, at first it only listed several major battles from Guihua City to Guanwai, which took no more than a month, and mobilized less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were complete victories to destroy the country and kill the king.

Seeing this letter, Li Hualong was quite helpless, in all fairness, his preparation was decent, no matter who he was, he had to evaluate the old man seriously, but what the letter said was also the truth, the victory of the forbidden army was too brilliant, in comparison, there was really no way to show it everywhere.

Not to mention the big victory, the recent several victories of the forbidden army in the border towns of Shaanxi have also ended quickly, and the results are brilliant.

For example, the local commercial taxes in Shaanxi and Shanxi were almost equal to none, and since the forbidden army was stationed, the palace also sent tax supervisors, either ruthlessly to record extortion, or to collect taxes according to the rules.

In front of the knives of the forbidden army, the local officials and gentry did not have the courage to make trouble, and everyone obediently paid taxes, and the consequences of not paying were bloody, and everyone has seen it.

Li Hualong knew that the cabinet assigned himself to Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu to supervise the extermination of thieves "just to avoid letting the forbidden army interfere, but in such a situation, why should he bear this responsibility." At that time, he will not only become a laughing stock, but also give his political opponents an excuse to attack Khan......

After being the governor of Liaodong, Li Hualong also wanted to ask for progress, after all, when he reached the position of governor, it was inevitable that he would want to develop upward.

What really made Li Hualong make up his mind was the actions of the businessmen in Sichuan and Huguang, the businessmen flocked to Songjiang in February, Li Hualong naturally knew, and there were businessmen who were his relationship, needless to say, even the businessmen themselves didn't care about any taxes, Baba's past was a forbidden army system, why did he bother to incur a sin on himself here.

Please let the forbidden army come in and let the forbidden army clear it. If you win yourself, the governor will also share the credit, and if you lose, you don't have to worry about bearing the main responsibility.

There is a very important rule in the officialdom that is to understand each other, Li Hualong went to Beijing with this twist and turn, although the six cabinets were helpless, but they could only admit it, this matter is in general sense, after all, it is the Ming Dynasty to quell the chaos, and it is better to solve it quickly, and some people say privately that the battles of these regiments of the forbidden army are all in the grasslands and plains, the terrain of Banzhou is special, and it is a wet and humid place, and the forbidden army, which is dominated by firearms, may suffer a loss.

Banshu Yang family. The barbarians in the land of a mansion are nothing in the eyes of the court bosses. But it's a good thing to make the forbidden army system, which is now more and more influential, suffer.

There was no resistance from the cabinet, and Emperor Wanli was even more confident in the forbidden army, and Tian Yi and Buyi, who were the celebrant supervisors, both understood what it meant for the forbidden army to enter the Sichuan and Chu battles to calm the chaos, and the more places the emperor could grasp, the greater the power of the inner court, and the ability to send one more tax supervisor to the local government was also to give the palace one more position and way out.

The center has reached an agreement on several aspects before, so the next thing is who to send, a few regiments of the forbidden army, strictly speaking, a few towns, and the closest to Sichuan is Shaanxi.

However, Ningxia is also under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi, Shaanxi occupies a vast area, although Li Tao has four regiments in his hands, plus the rest of the elite backbone of more than 30,000 people, but the scope of defense is also vast, but Ningxia is close to the Hetao, the armed forces of the merchant group are large enough, but the forbidden army can be withdrawn.

Of course, Sun Xin, the chief general of the forbidden army in Ningxia Town, was selected, as for whether the Li family took into account the complex terrain of Banzhou, and the forbidden army might suffer a loss, so it was not known to let Sun Xin go here.

The Ningxia Forbidden Army dispatched two regiments, the Shaanxi Forbidden Army dispatched an artillery team of 300 people, and 1,000 pacesetters from Ningxia and Shaanxi, as well as 500 so-called volunteer cavalry with the merchant regiment as the main force, with a total of 6,700 people, entering Shaanxi and going to Hanzhong and Sichuan to quell the rebellion.

For Shaanxi, the main force of the war and the province are not too involved, for Sichuan, "this is a guest army to help, and there is the friendship of Litao, and the supply of grain and grass is very convenient."

What's more, there are more than 6,000 horses, although the supply is a lot, but it is not a large number, and the local government has also raised it, and there are even special people in Sichuan who are responsible for supply.

The army does not need to bear the burden of grain and grass, accommodation and use are received along the way, the marching speed of the forbidden army can be mentioned to the highest, and the speed of the pacesetters and cavalry of the provinces is not slow, from a series of twists and turns, central discussions to the order of marching, in the middle of May, the forbidden army entered Sichuan, arrived in Banzhou.

If it weren't for Wang Tong as the main general, the rules of the court could not be changed, as usual, it was the civilian commander, and the governor Li Hualong was duty-bound, as for the supervising army, Zhao Jinliang was on patrol, and he was directly arrested.

In the palace's view, this is really long live the lord and the father-in-law of the ministry to take care of the little Zhao father-in-law to the extreme, Zhao Jinliang Zhao father-in-law is so old, he has already worked as an errand in various important yamen in the palace, this is not counted, but also to go out of the palace to accumulate experience, this time to supervise the army, it must be a great achievement.

Sun Xin is a calm person, with a rare old age of his peers, such a character is not a problem, but at an important time, he lacks a little momentum, a little decision, for example, at this time, he is afraid that he will suffer a loss in the unfamiliar terrain of Banzhou, the undefeated forbidden army is not only military prestige, there are many other things, he can't afford this responsibility, of course, the Son of Heaven general, he has no reason not to go.

Helpless, before leaving, Cho Xin sent a fast horse to Wang Tong to send a letter to ask for instructions, asking Wang Tong to give guidance, Wang Tong's reply was given when Cho Xin entered Sichuan, the letter was very simple, "There is no enemy that the Huwei army can not defeat in the Ming Dynasty, what you have to do is not to underestimate the enemy, do not rush forward, act in a dignified manner, and push it step by step to the enemy's lair on the seven,......

This letter stabilized Qi Xin, and Wang Tong also had a private letter to Zhao Jinliang, which was also very simple, saying that Daming had been caring for the southwest toast for too long, so that they didn't know how to be in awe, don't be afraid of killing people this time, Liwei is enough, and then they can show benevolence and benevolence.

On Li Hualong's side, Wang Tong didn't have any private messages, but the big businessmen in Sichuan and Huguang took the initiative to find Li Hualong and were willing to help Wang Shi and do what he could.

The so-called help, in the past, was to give money and food, but the news provided by these big businessmen to the forbidden army was not only this, Banzhou was not a peach blossom source, if you want to survive, you have to communicate with the outside, at least the salt has to be bought outside, and the big businessmen of Sichuan and Chu have made a lot of money between this purchase and sales.

I went to Songjiang Mansion once, how much I had to show goodwill to Wang Tong, this forbidden army is the best way to express goodwill, everyone threw out the previous relationship or something, in fact, don't look at the government is gradually tightening now, but there have always been businessmen selling salt and weapons to the Yang family, and there are still some bigwigs of the government behind this businessman, anyway, I can't delay making money, and everyone thinks this is a small mess.

The first battle of the forbidden army to exterminate the Yang family was not to fight with the Yang family, nor with the Miao soldiers of the Yang family's alliance or the bandits who took advantage of the situation, but first went to Zigong to exterminate the largest local salt lord.

The output of salt in Sichuan is huge, and the salt gang in Sichuan is also self-contained, in addition to taking away smuggling from Huguang, the real huge profit is to sell to all ethnic groups in the southwest, and the villages of various ethnic groups in the mountains lack salt, and the price is extremely expensive.

Before the rebellion of the Yang family in Banzhou, a large number of salt goods were purchased, and then the salt lord set the rules at a high price, and the salt lord continued to collect salt, relying on this There are also many Miao Zhai and Yao Zhai to serve him, this kind of news has always been known to everyone, just pretending not to know, but the arrival of the forbidden army, everything is different, Sichuan wealthy businessmen immediately sold the news as a favor, the salt lord can mobilize nearly three thousand people, quite difficult, the forbidden army only walked out of half a regiment.

Up and down Sichuan, from Li Hualong to the businessmen below, they all feel that they are too underestimated ............! ~！
