There was no thorn in the northeast, but the chaos broke out in the three towns of Guyuan, Ningxia, and Gansu in the northwest. The three local guards and the raised troops launched a rebellion, and they did not say they wanted to clear the emperor's side. They simply fell apart and started looting and causing chaos like bandits.
The local commanders, generals, and prefects were unable to control the situation, and even the city could not be saved.
"A bunch of trash." Bai Lang was not angry at all, but smiled. If the generals were present, they would definitely be able to tell that this was a smile that was happy because he could kill. It is not that Wanli didn't have generals under his command, but this time he decided to go there himself.
——Staying in Xiyuan all day is a bit boring, and the large garden further to the west has not yet been completed.
He ordered three thousand cavalry from the Royal Horse Guards, and Bailang rode directly into the battle. Food and grass were supplied along the way. After traveling day and night, he arrived at Guyuan in five days and killed the rebels on sight. The leader of the rebels also wanted to gather a crowd to fight, but when he heard that Wanli was marching in person
, at that moment, the whole army dispersed and fled for their lives. It only took a month for the rebels in Pingsan Town, mainly the Qingqi to chase them around, while Bailang sat in the center to handle government affairs.
The various commanders and envoys were abolished, the military households were deregistered and the land was divided among the officials and gentry as Servants and the men were divided into households. Anyway, most of the soldiers under this bunch of losers have rebelled, but 89% of the personal soldiers are still in their hands. Now,
It happened to be broken up and used as a city defense camp - the establishment was also assigned to the local governor or prefect, and those generals could just become a family of military generals.
Bailang also has tax-free treatment, at least for serving soldiers, and disabled retired soldiers also have half-tax or one-third tax treatment, and there are also rice grains issued by the court. Bailang took away these soldiers and was not going to give them to the locals.
What kind of compensation can the general give him - it is already a gift for him not to kill anyone, so you dare to ask him what kind of compensation he wants?
Anyway, the heads of the rebels can't be distinguished from the heads of the rebellious people. Bai Lang killed a lot of people in these three towns. He was almost like Yang Su in running the army. Small achievements must be recorded, but small mistakes must also be punished. Rewards and punishments
They are very heavy. Besides, he is well-paid and provides good food and wine, so of course the soldiers are willing to die for him.
The combat effectiveness of the cavalry he led was also extraordinary. Hundreds of people defeated tens of thousands of rebels. As for the captured rebels, Bailang ordered them to be killed - these people had been attacking prefectures and counties and sweeping through villages and towns since they started rebellion, causing great harm to all.
There are hundreds of thousands of citizens and ordinary people in the country, and now it is just right to cut them down.
Bailang still let go of the old and weak, women and children they kidnapped, but those who entered some athletic camp, women's camp and children's camp were all beheaded. Now the people of the three towns finally understand what it means to be cruel and murderous these days -
- Mainly those scholars whispered in private. They said he was the king of Jie and Zhou, but now it seems that this is really the case.
This batch of tens of thousands of people who were killed were not piled up in Jingguan. Instead, several large pits were dug and the corpses were buried layer by layer with lime. The rebellion was put down and the military affairs of the three towns were sorted out.
Civil affairs took Bai Lang three months. When he returned to the capital, Qi Jiguang had already taken over the defense of the entire Liaodong and began to clean up and replace the troops in Liaodong Town.
The Jurchens have not yet revolted, but Li Chengliang's family and many Liaodong generals have been ordered to come to the capital. As generals, they are the ones who can truly understand what a terrible person the emperor is today. The great talents of the military situation masters are already very good.
I haven't seen it in years and years. Now, in the era when civil servants dare to talk about strategy and tactics, it seems that everyone is a military strategist. However, only this emperor who does not listen to such words is the one who is sure to win and conquer.
And he's really murderous
So they didn't dare to disobey the order. Although Bai Lang had already been cleaned up after he came back, Li Chengliang and other veterans still seemed to be able to smell the lingering bloody smell on the emperor's body - this was too familiar, because they were
There are also
After Bai Lang comforted him with kind words, he said to Li Chengliang, "Save one of the old gentleman's sons to serve as my guide, and we will destroy the Jurchens in two years." Bai Lang looked at Li Chengliang with a half-smile, "This
The Jurchens have made rebellions many times over the years, and you have been so tired that you have to repel them every time. Now let’s just put an end to it once and for all. When I personally bring my troops and horses, I will sweep the holes and kill them all."
Li Chengliang could only praise the emperor for his majesty. He knew the Jurchens very well, and many of his servants were Jurchens. He also knew that the Jurchen tribes united together might not be a match for the emperor in front of him. "Forget it, Fugui.
We've got it, don't worry about him." This should be Li Chengliang's mood now - he is getting old, and after thinking about it carefully, he might as well keep his family's wealth.
"It doesn't take much cavalry to kill the Jurchens. It's time to fight the cavalry on foot and use flintlocks and artillery to solve the problem. And the knife still needs to be matched. It seems that the armor on the body only needs a half chain mail armor.
That's enough." Bailang thought, with a helmet, a half-body chainmail, a flintlock bayonet and a cannon, as long as he was trained by the commander, it would be impossible for a mere Jurchen to defeat him.
As for Nurhachi, who is now the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guards and is already annexing various Jurchen tribes, Bailang is planning to let him live happily for another two years, and then he will be chopped up in the capital. Don’t keep the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe, and the rest of the Haixi
The Jurchen and other tribes were all dispersed and sent to Guizhou, Hainan, and Yunnan. Bai Lang felt that there was no need to keep people among the white mountains and black waters. He had plenty of time to wait for better weather before immigrating.
In another ten or twenty years, that place will no longer be suitable for people to live in, and Bailang can try to lay a short-distance railway - it is no problem to use horse-drawn horses, and the transportation capacity can be improved to a higher level. He is determined
Mongolia has built a territory of about a hundred miles, and can control a large area of territory by setting up a few stations. "It's all to be determined." Bai Lang accepted his mood and waited quietly.
Jiangnan can't be in chaos now. The left and right are just fighting against taxes and arrears. They will be able to reap the benefits in a few years. Now Bailang has Jin Yiwei and Dongchang go to the southern provinces to investigate the powerful people in various places, especially the officials.
Family members with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of acres of land are the key targets of surveillance - anyway, we will attack them when the time comes.
In these places, the implementation of clearing the abbot and paying the tenants is half-hearted, and there is no discussion at all about serving as errands and paying the grain, as if Bai Lang's decree is false - "That's right, the decree does not leave the capital city." Bai Lang also laughed at himself, now
They fooled him, and they will all have to spit it out when the time comes. The Zhang family, the former chief minister, has done a lot of business in Shanxi, Zhangjiakou and outside the customs. Aren't the three families wiped out now? Even his grave was dug up, the coffin was dissected and the corpses were slaughtered. Bai Lang is doing it for
His political nature is like this, and he doesn't bother to persuade his subordinates. He just needs them to execute.
