In the distant South China Sea, the East China Sea Fleet led by Gu Rong and Zheng Sihai, as well as the South China Sea Fleet, encountered two warships led by Spanish Captain Thomas in the waters at the northern tip of Luzon Island.

The Qin army fought when it was encountered, without hesitation.

Thomas saw that the Qin army was strong, and the sea covered by 600 warships was too different. After several rounds of firefighting between the two sides, Thomas did not dare to fall in love and immediately fled to the port of Manila, while the Royal Navy of Great Qin pursued all the way to Manila.

At the same time as the smoke of gunpowder in the South China Sea was ignited, the arrangements for the finishing work of the two Guangxi provinces were also in full swing in Nanjing.

The Shaowu monarch of Guangdong was quickly forced to the city of Guangzhou by Ai Nengqi, and Ai Nengqi was limited to surrender to the city within one day.

As a result, Su Guansheng did not cry when he saw the coffin, and refused to surrender.

In the process of attacking the city, the south gate guard Su Musha was unwilling to give Su Guansheng a funeral, and took the initiative to give up resistance, opened the south gate, and the city of Guangzhou was broken.

Zhu Yulu, Su Guansheng and others were all captured and are now being escorted to Nanjing.

Subsequently, officials in various prefectures and counties in Guangdong basically gave up resistance and accepted the appeasement of Great Qin.

On the contrary, it was Guilin's Qu Shiyun who still did not express his position, and Wang Fuzhi, who accompanied the army, took the initiative to ask for help and went to Guilin Mansion to persuade him to surrender, but it is unknown what the result will be.

But on the whole, except for the prefectures and counties of Guilin, Liuzhou, Quanzhou, and Yizhou in Guangxi, the two Guangxi are basically settled.

The plan of the year lies in the spring, which is not only true for a family, but also for a country.

Now that it is almost the middle of February, spring in Lingnan comes early, and spring ploughing will start in mid to late February.

Whether or not the two Guangxi can be quickly settled down is related to whether the spring ploughing can be carried out smoothly, and whether the spring ploughing can be carried out smoothly is related to whether the people of the two Guangxi provinces can have enough to eat this year.

So, it's definitely a top priority.

In order to promote the surrender of Qu Shiyun and the early subsidence of the war. Qin Mu ordered not to accept the will of Wang Fuzhi at night, as long as Qu Shiyun was willing to surrender, he would immediately appoint him as the political envoy of Guangdong, and take office on the same day.

Including Wu Yu, Wu Bing and others, they are all reused.

In addition, Bian Di was sent to governor Liangguang.

After arranging this qiē, Qin Mu asked people to read out Tang Yue's recital on Longzhou's reform of land and return to the stream.

Judging from Tang Yue's recitals, due to the lack of binding force on the various toasts in the southwest in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, these toasts mostly became tyrannical and arrogant, in order to satisfy their selfish desires. Brutal exploitation at home, constant use of troops abroad, trying to annex other parts and expand their own territory.

The local people under the rule of each Tusi did not have three meals at home, and they had to constantly accept the evidence of the Tusi to participate in the war, and there were many dead. This made the natives living in slavery extremely unhappy.

Judging from Tang Yue's transformation of Longzhou, now is indeed a good time.

After Han Zanzhou finished reading Tang Yue's recital, Qin Mu asked the Manchu ministers, "I often tell you. Every major policy implementation needs to be verified by practice and cannot be implemented by speculation. Now Tang Yue's reform of Longzhou can be regarded as a practice. Ministers can have a deeper view on this. ”

Yang Tinglin, the secretary of the ministry, went out of the class and said: "Qi plays His Majesty, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces in the southwest, and there are hundreds of people in Tuzhou and Tuxian counties. The situation is complicated, and it is not possible to copy the precedents of Longzhou one by one. The minister thinks that it must also be based on the facts of each toast. It is necessary to take appropriate countermeasures.

And the minister thinks that this matter should not be urgent, and now Yunnan has not been completely pacified, and west of Chuxiong is still in the Mutian wave control. If the land change is too hasty, the Tusi of the three provinces may rebel endlessly, and the entire southwest will be plunged into war again. ”

Qin Mu shook his head lightly when he heard this, and he also knew in his heart that he really couldn't rush to change the land and return to the stream.

The reason why the successive dynasties tolerated so many Tusi in the northwest was mainly because these places were high and densely forested, the roads were steep, and it was difficult to supply them, making it difficult for large armies to enter.

Coupled with the unpredictable climate change, after the Central Plains royal division entered these areas, it was easy to lose a large number of troops due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.

At present, the soldiers sent by Daqin to the southwest are basically composed of soldiers from southern Jiangxi, Xiangxiang, Xiangxi, and Guizhou, just to prevent the soldiers from adapting to the soil and water after entering the southwest.

After all, the troops that can be mustered together in these places are limited, so there are not many troops entering Guizhou and Yunnan at present.

Under such circumstances, a large-scale change of land and return to the river will indeed inevitably lead to turmoil.

However, if the land reform cannot be completed, the control of the southwest will be weak, and then it will be even weaker to send troops to fight each other.

There is no doubt that Jiaozhi Qin Mu must be taken back.

He has a plan for the battle. He would not have sent a large number of troops from the Central Plains to recruit Jiaozhi as he had done in the past.

If you have to send soldiers from the north to fight in the south, the result is often that the soldiers are defeated and return home.

To conquer the Indochina Peninsula, the soldiers of the Central Plains could not be used, and Ma Liuliang's 3,000 "mountain division" was a pilot of Qin Mu, and now it seems that the effect is very good.

Therefore, Qin Mu decided to recruit more soldiers and horses from the southwest, train them according to the model of Ma Liuliang's "mountain division", and then use these soldiers born and raised in the southwest to conquer the Indochina Peninsula.

Isn't the Vietnamese monkey able to drill in the mountains and forests, we can drill better than him, and then we will see what he can rely on.

In order to realize this idea, the premise is to first control the southwest region.

This is because the southwest region is not only a source of troops for attacking the Indochina Peninsula, but also a base for logistics and supply. Even the southwest can't be controlled, so how can we talk about conquering the Indochina Peninsula?

"What Yang Shangshu said is very reasonable, what targeted strategies can you ministers?"

Huang Zhenlin, director of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with what Yang Shangshu said, and the change of land and return to the stream should be flexibly formulated according to the actual situation of the Tusi in various places, and it is indeed advisable to slow down rather than urgently. The minister has a strategy for the reference of His Majesty and the ministers. ”

"Oh? Huang Qing has a good plan, so he came quickly and let everyone discuss together. ”

"Majesty, Chen Jian yì temporarily retains the current policy of Tusi governing the Tusi in order to appease the various Tusi in the southwest. However, the auxiliary officials were to be sent by the imperial court to assist the Tusi in the daily governance;

For example, in Tuzhou, Zhizhou is still hereditary from the original Tusi, but Tongzhi is sent by the imperial court, and Tuxian is assisted by the county sent by the imperial court, and so on. ”

After hearing Huang Zhenlin's policy, the ministers of the palace whispered and discussed, and many people couldn't help but nod frequently.

Qin Mu also felt that this strategy was very good, similar to boiling a frog in warm water. Now send a deputy over, saying that it is an assistant, but ignore the practice, so that it is not easy to cause a fierce resistance from the toast.

However, after these auxiliary officials passed, they were able to simulate the local situation in real time and provide first-hand information for the decision-making of the imperial court, and after all, they were auxiliary officials, and it was not difficult to separate the relationship between the local Tusi and the local people if they were slightly more capable.

Like Longzhou Tusi, once it loses its popular base, it is not difficult to change the land and return to the stream.

The first assistant Sima An also greatly appreciated Huang Zhenlin's strategy, and he went out to play: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Huang's policy is feasible. However, after the various auxiliary officers were dispatched, they were scattered in various prefectures, and it was difficult to coordinate. And the southwest provinces, after all, there is some distance from Nanjing, once the time comes, waiting for Nanjing to be played layer by layer, I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity.

Therefore, the old minister Jian Yì sent a governor to sit in the southwest for a long time to oversee the three southwestern provinces to change the land and return to the stream, and coordinate the auxiliary officials of the various prefectures. ”

Qin Mu asked, "Do you have any objections from the ministers, or do you have anything to add?" ”

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty replied one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

This scene reminded Qin Muyouran of the series of "top" words behind some posts in later generations, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh.

Fortunately, when he asked who would be the governor, everyone was no longer just "top". Each of them proposed the right person in their minds.

Among them, Yang Tinglin mentions one acre of land.

If you talk about playing conspiracy alone, Tian Yimu is actually not worse than Sima An, but he is slightly inferior to Sima An in terms of pattern;

However, after the tempering of the ruling party in recent years, the overall situation of Tian Yimu is not the same.

Therefore, Qin Mu felt that Yang Tinglin's mention was the most agreeable, so he decided to appoint Tian Yimu as the governor of Yunnan, and lead the affairs of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces to change the land and return to the stream.

The court is busy, and the South China Sea is not idle, two huge fleets, all the way to chase Thomas to the sea off Manila, the Spanish governor of Luzon, who received the news, personally led all the warships of Luzon out of the port, a huge naval battle, about to break out!
