Everything in the world is relative. I am arsenic, and another is honey; for one person, the sky is great, but for another, it is small.
The recovery of Macao was a big deal for Lu Liuliang, the magistrate of Xiangshan County; but a trivial matter for Zhu Hengjia.
At this moment, his attention is focused on three bigger things: solving the feudal towns in Sichuan, recruiting King Lu's army, and recovering the minerals in Mufu, Lijiang, Yunnan.
The issue of vassal towns in Sichuan has been around for a long time. Since the appointment of the ruthless Chen Bangyan as the governor of Sichuan, some have been annihilated and some have been subdued, but there are still a large number left.
The strongest one is Wang Xiang, who is entrenched in Zunyi. He is aggressive and aggressive and does not take the imperial court seriously. Zhu Hengjia mobilized local soldiers from the Ran clan of Youyang to reinforce Huguang, but he actually dared to take the opportunity to annex Youyang and expand his power.
For more than a year, while Zhu Hengjia was fighting in Huguang and Jiangxi, Wang Xiang extended his tentacles to Guizhou, Chongqing, Huzhou, and Yongning, and had several conflicts with the Pi Xiong in Guizhou.
Zhu Hengjia took out the pamphlet and wrote the four words "Bozhou Wangxiang" with a red pen.
The second largest force is the original masterminds of Huang Shisan's family: Yuan Tao and Wu Dading, the "kings of war".
These two ungrateful wolves, under the instigation of military counselor Li Qiande, actually killed their benefactor Yang Zhan and surrounded Jiading Prefecture.
News came a few days ago that Jiading City was captured by two thieves. Yang Zhan's eldest son, Yang Jingxin, led hundreds of cavalry to break through.
When Jiading was besieged, he asked Fan Yiheng, the governor of Sichuan, and Chen Bangyan, the governor, for help. However, they were on guard against Wang Xiang at the time and had no troops to help.
Yang Jingxin resented the Ming Dynasty for not saving her. In anger, she fled to Baoning and took refuge with Li Guoying, the Qing governor of Sichuan.
After Zhu Hengjia heard about this, he ordered Yang Zhan to be granted the title of Marquis of Jiading. He also ordered civil and military officials from all over Sichuan to say, "Yang Zhan has resumed production, and millions of people in Shu depend on it for their survival. What a great contribution! The imperial court did not rescue him in time."
It’s the imperial court’s fault. If Yang Jingxin surrenders to you in the future, you must treat him well; if you catch Yang Jingxin on the battlefield, you must not hurt his life.”
Under the manipulation of thoughtful people, Zhu Hengjia's edict became known to everyone in Sichuan, young and old. The Sichuan people who had received Yang Zhan's favor all praised the sage of supervising the country. Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty, heard about this and did not dare to reuse Yang Jingxin.
I was given a sinecure and hung up.
"Yuan Tao, Wu Dading", there are two more bright red names on the pamphlet.
The third largest force is Zhu Hualong and Zhan Tianyan, the old subordinates of Qin King Zhu Cunying. After Qin King Zhu Cunying died heroically in Zishui River, these two men were entrenched in Songpanwei, Long'an Prefecture, and Maozhou.
In addition to these three major forces, other vassal towns: Lin Shitai of Chengdu came to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and came to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. His reputation filled the streets. He dared to surrender, but Zhu Hengjia did not dare to accept him; Yu Dahai, Li Zhanchun, Hou Yongxi and others all
Having surrendered to the imperial court, I no longer have any desire for separatism.
??
"Zheng Qing, what do you think of the feudal towns in Sichuan?"
Zhu Hengjia asked his number one think tank Zheng Feng for advice.
After solving the Macau Fort, Zhu Hengjia transferred Zheng Feng back to Changsha and appointed Su Guansheng as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
"Supervising the country, I think that we should recruit and attack some of the vassal towns in Sichuan. Zhu Hualong and Zhan Tianyan are the old subordinates of the King of Qin. The King of Qin is dead. They have no branches to rely on and it is easy to win over them. In addition, the Songpan Wei occupied by the two of them,
Long'an and Maozhou are bordering the Qing Dynasty. They cannot take military measures in this regard, otherwise once they surrender to the Qing Dynasty, they will increase the strength of the Qing Dynasty and weaken our strength. We should send people to appease them, at least to keep them
Neutral".
"Well, what you said makes sense, continue."
"Although Lin Shitai of Sichuan is a famous wallflower and has a bad reputation. But the Chengdu he controls is just north of Jiading, blocking the way for Yuan Tao and Wu to escape from Dingbei and occupy the area. Therefore, for Lin Shitai
When the time comes, it is not advisable to use force. Instead, we should focus on appeasement."
After hearing this, Zhu Hengjia pondered for a long time, nodded, took out the pamphlet, and changed Lin Shitai's name from red pen to black pen.
When Zheng Feng saw it, his heart trembled. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger! This prisoner looked honest and honest, but he didn't expect that he still had the habit of keeping small accounts and settling accounts after the fall. He should be more careful in the future.
Seeing Zheng Feng staring at his pamphlet, Zhu Hengjia hurriedly yelled: "Haha, this pamphlet of Gu is only for those rebellious ministers, and I will never remember the ministers like Qing. Haha, Zheng
Sir, please continue."
Zheng Feng came back to his senses and continued: "I believe that the two separatist forces of Wang Xiang, Yuan Tao and Wu Dading should be eliminated in order. Although Wang Xiang is ferocious and cruel, he has a large territory and many soldiers. After occupying Bozhou, all
In order to be different from the past, they began to pay attention to production. Their strength ranked first among the Sichuan vassal towns and they were difficult to deal with. Yuan Tao and Wu Dading were bandits. Although they had many soldiers, their military discipline was bad. They also killed Yang Zhan, who was deeply loved by the people of Sichuan.
It is relatively easy to deal with if it cannot calm the hearts of the people. We should attack Yuan Tao and Wu Dading who are easy to deal with first, and then attack Wang Xiang who is difficult to deal with."
"Well, good!"
"In the supervision of the country, Wang Xiang has many troops. We should try to alienate him from his subordinates. He falsely accuses the Ran family of Youyang of rebellion. You can call him to Changsha to confront Ran Tianyu, but he will not dare to come. You can use this to remove his Zunyi lieutenant.
He appointed his general Shi Lin to take over the position. In this way, Wang Xiang will doubt Shi Lin, and the internal suspicion will be easy to overcome!"
"What a counter-intuitive plan, Zheng Qing is really a lonely ovary!"
Zhu Hengjia Long Yan Dayue.
Three points are military and seven points are politics. To solve the feudal towns in Sichuan, political means should be the main method and military means should be supplemented. After listening to Zheng Feng's words, Zhu Hengjia felt enlightened.
He first ordered the three legal divisions to jointly interrogate Wang Xiang's case of treason against Ran Tianlin, the envoy of Youyang Xuanwei.
Wang Xiang took advantage of Ran Tianlin's opportunity to send troops to reinforce Huguang, captured Youyang, killed Ran Tianlin, and falsely accused Ran Tianlin of treason.
Didn’t Wang Xiang say that the Ran family was plotting rebellion? Well, I’ll call you to Changsha to confront the Ran family.
Zhu Hengjia summoned Wang Xiang and Ran Tianlin's brother Ran Tianyu to Changsha to confront him. Ran Tianyu went happily, but Wang Xiang said he was ill and did not dare to come. It was a false accusation. If he went to Changsha, wouldn't he have fallen into a trap?
Public opinion was in an uproar, and everyone said that Wang Xiang was plotting to kill loyal ministers and was disloyal. Even in Wang Xiang's hometown Zunyi, rumors that Marshal Wang killed loyal ministers and wanted to rebel were flying everywhere.
After being summoned three times and Wang Xiang said that he was not ill, Zhu Hengjia said: Since you are not feeling well, you should take a good rest at home. Don't be the deputy general of Zunyi. Let your general Shi Lin be the deputy general.
An order was issued to remove Wang Xiang from his post, Enzhun stay at home to recuperate, and appoint Shi Lin as deputy general of Zunyi.
With this decree, Wang Xiang was agitated in his heart. Why did Prince Jing make Shi Lin the deputy general of Zunyi? Could it be that Shuzi secretly took refuge in Prince Jing?
The prison country wants me to recover from my illness, so I will show the prison country my sexually transmitted diseases!
Wang Xiangzhen pretended to be ill at home, handed over the affairs to Shi Lin, and secretly sent his confidants to monitor him.
Hearing that Wang Xiang was ill, Shi Lin hurriedly came to visit.
"Commander, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
Wang Xiang stared at Shi Lin with a dark look: "No! From now on, the Zunyi surname is Shi, not Wang!"
After hearing this, Shi Lin was horrified, sweating profusely, and fell to her knees with a plop.
"The commander-in-chief Mingjian, the general will always be loyal to the commander-in-chief! This is a counter-intentional plan by King Jing Shi, who is overseeing the country, to drive a wedge between the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief!"
Seeing that Shi Lin's expression didn't seem to be fake, Wang Xiang was stunned, "Is this really a counter-intuitive plan?"
