Some people escorted hundreds of thousands of prisoners and their families back to the north. These people were used by Liu Pei to fill the population in the north. Because of the war in the north for many years, nine out of ten households had been empty. If we were waiting for natural rest and rest, it would probably be a matter of decades later. And these prisoners could just fill these vacancies.

As for Fang Degang and others, they were already busy! Since he entered Nanjing, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Liu Pei was in power! So the people who intended to defect to Liu Pei were like the ones who crossed the river!

A person with high reputation wrote a vague letter to those who attracted Liu Pei and Fang Degang to visit him; some wrote letters to seek refuge; some even recommended themselves directly! Some even dug up their relationships. They walked around him, and all the relatives who had been separated by a hundred and eight thousand miles were all covered, making him feel pain and happy!

But Fang Degang was proud and proud, and he did not dare to accept these people against Liu Pei's wishes. You know, Jiangnan is the base camp of the Donglin Party. They have now begun to shake their heads and tails to move closer to Liu Pei, so that they can get a job!

This caused great trouble to Fang Degang. As a result, he had to carefully investigate and evaluate a person before he could dare to deport his position. As a result, a large number of so-called famous scholars and Donglin Party members were abandoned.

Fang Degang's approach aroused great dissatisfaction among local scholars! In their opinion, I have expressed my willingness to surrender to you, and I am such a talented person, so I will naturally have a place in the court!

But what they didn't know was that Liu Pei had no good feelings for these scholars in Jiangnan! Although these people were called gentlemen, they were covered with bloody mouths under the mask of gentlemen. Whether it was the country or the common people, they were constantly swallowed up in their stomachs, which fattened themselves, but harmed the country, and eventually led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty!

These people rely on monopolizing culture and public opinion to constantly penetrate into the court, and then monopolize everything that can be monopolized, and even become gentlemen. How could Liu Pei give them a chance?

And Liu Pei knew that as long as he was not in a hurry to stop him, it turned out that those who supported King Zhu Youjian of Tang as the emperor in history would probably be in Fuzhou.

If the same mistake is repeated. If the people in Jiangnan cannot find an official position here, they will inevitably surrender to Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian. At that time, Liu Pei will have an excuse to clean up!

Sure enough, a few months later, Liu Jiang took the list and letters and began to capture these people according to the map. He almost killed more than 30% of the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan! Of course, they included "Shui Tailiang" and others!

After Liu Bei cleared out these people, he obtained a lot of land and gold and silver. He also cleared the noise from the people, and tried to go smoother in the next step. But this is the story!

After the war, Liu Pei had already relaxed. Because there were not many things that needed him to make decisions. All the remaining government affairs were entrusted to Fang Degang.

Zhao Ritian had just finished his instructions on the official documents, and the guard said outside the room: "Master General, Director Liu has arrived."

Liu Pei was excited when he heard this and said, "Let him come in."

A moment later, Liu Jiang pushed the door and came in. He was very powerful: "Congratulations to the Grand Marshal for his victory and his country will be destroyed in one battle!"

Liu Pei laughed and said, "If you flatter me like this, don't slap yourself! Your ability is not on this! But thank you for your hard work all the way!"

Liu Jiang smiled and said, "It's not hard to do things for the Grand Marshal!"

Liu Pei said: "Only you can do this, but others may not be able to do it! So even if I have worked hard, I have to ask you to come over immediately and send you out again," he said.

Liu Jiang said seriously: "Please give instructions from the general!"

Liu Pei stood up and paced back and forth in the room and said, "The Dragon King plan in Jiangnan is about to begin. I am not worried about this, because the plan is already very thorough. And what you want to do is to meet in Sichuan?"

Liu Jiang's eyes flashed and he said, "But Qin Liangyu, Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan and others?"

Liu Pei said: "It's just them! I want them to block Zhang Xianzhong's retreat and prevent him from escaping! Try to take off his head in one battle! Secondly, I want them to surrender to me and implement the transformation of land and return to the current situation!"

As Liu Pei's confidant, Liu Jiang knew clearly what he was thinking. At the same time, he also knew how difficult this matter was. But since he was Liu Pei's instinct

, which means that once Liu Pei explains something, it will be a festival that must be completed!

Liu Jiang knew that Liu Pei hated the chieftains in the southwest region! The place where these people were is simply a country of dragons! They owned their own population, money and food, had their own taxes and laws, and completely ignored the central government!

During the Ming Dynasty, weakening the power of the southwestern chieftains was always the established national policy of the Ming court. At the beginning, they were still using both soft and hard to deal with them, but later the national strength declined and they could no longer use the method of suppressing and pacifying and pacifying, so they could only use other methods.

The simplest example is that the court began to draw out the chieftain soldiers and fight everywhere during the Wanli period. The most famous one is the Baigang Soldier! The purpose is to weaken the strength of the chieftains in the southwest! Otherwise, how could there be many times when the Baigang Soldiers make great contributions without rewarding them? Even if the reward is very meager!

The adults in the court were not stupid. Of course, they knew that no one would work hard if there was any merit or reward. But this point refers to the regular army of the court. And they treated the chieftain army very harshly! Although there were other factors such as deductions, the main purpose was to weaken the chieftain army.

Why did the chieftain army go on war many times even though they knew there was not much reward for it? Because they also understood that this was one of the means by which the court was weakening them! And they had no way to avoid this weakening, and could only obey the court's arrangements!

Because if they resisted the court and refused to send troops and stood in the mountains, the Ming army would certainly not be able to attack. But over time, they would collapse themselves! As long as the court cut off trade with them, they would be trapped in the mountains and gradually withered and dying! After all, their population is much larger than that of the previous dynasty, and food and salt are transported from the mountains. Once trade is cut off, a large number of natives will starve to death!
