In the Battle of Daming Mountain, Zhu Hengjia was deeply frightened by the bravery and proficiency of the Guangxi wolf soldiers. So he decided to change his strategy, with one hand soft and the other hard, to win over the chieftains who supported him and to annihilate the chieftains who disobeyed him with iron blood.<
/p>
He first awarded the farmland of Mo family in Xincheng to Qingyuan Wei family. Qingyuan Wei family contributed a lot to him. Giving them the land was to set an example for other chieftains and let them know that they would have meat to eat by following King Jingjiang. Then he granted official titles to the major chieftains.
The Ming Dynasty was very strange. It was willing to grant land to the chieftains, but was reluctant to grant them official positions. The largest official granted by the major chieftains in Guangxi was no more than the third rank, and they were generally the low-ranking ninth-rank local inspection department.
Zhu Hengjia was very puzzled: These native officials are just in name only, and they don't get royal salary? What's the point of giving them bigger officials? On the contrary, the land cannot be given to them easily. The more land, the stronger the power, and it is easy to rebel.<
/p>
Therefore, in order to win over the chieftains who were loyal to him, Zhu Hengjia made Wei Daren the second-rank Qingyuan Tufu Commander Shi Tongzhi, Wang Long the third-rank Duyang Tufu Commander, and Wei Gao the third-rank Dingluo Tufu.
The commander of the guards, Li Bao is the commander of the third-grade old city Tuwei??
These were all native officials, who had no salary, but were hereditary. When the chieftains saw that their ranks had improved a lot, they were all happy and called for the sage who oversees the country.
Zhu Hengjia was also very happy and said to his confidant Zheng Feng: "I don't have to spend a single salary to win the heart of the chieftain."
Finally, get married.
The story of getting married can be traced back to the day when General Zhu Hengkuo captured Duyang chieftain Wang Long in the Battle of Qianjiang. The young man was very coquettish at the time, and he conquered the heart of Wang Long's daughter Wang Long with a heroic sword stroke. Tong Tong
Human warriors respect heroes the most, so Wang Long asked Zheng Feng to propose marriage to Zhu Hengjia. Zhu Hengkuo was a member of the royal family, so this could not be done without Zhu Hengjia’s nod.
Zhu Hengjia was delighted when he heard this. Isn't this just a marriage? In the previous dynasties, women were always assigned to marry, but this time a man was assigned. That's right.
Unexpectedly, we encountered opposition from afar. Yu Chaoxiang, the left minister of the Ministry of War, came from Guilin. He firmly opposed the clan marrying a child girl, thinking that it was against the ancestral system and there was no such precedent.
Prime Minister Yu Chao came to Sien from Guilin this time to provide supplies to the army, mainly cotton-padded clothes, which were sewn by the princess herself.
When the weather turned cold, Zhu Hengjia's concubine, Shi Shi, was worried that Zhu Hengjia and the soldiers on the expedition would catch cold, so she organized the palace staff to sew hundreds of sets of cotton-padded clothes. When the officials and the families of the soldiers in Guilin heard that the princess was sewing cotton-padded clothes, they also joined in.
In fact, more than three thousand sets were sewn and asked to be brought over by Yu Chaoxiang. Although it was not enough for the tens of thousands of Jingjun soldiers, it boosted the morale of the army. The soldiers were all excited when they heard that the cotton-padded clothes were sewn by the princess.
In order to convince Prime Minister Yu, Zhu Hengjia said everything he said.
Prime Minister Yu: "It is against the ancestral tradition for a royal family member to marry a child girl"
Zhu Hengjia: "What is the ancestral system and not the ancestral system? According to the ancestral system, it is not the turn of Gu Guo to supervise the country. Now, isn't it also the supervising of the country?"
Prime Minister Yu: "Zhu Fuguo cannot compare with you, you are wise and powerful."
Zhu Hengjia: "This guy is not bad, he is just a little darker and uglier than Gu."
Prime Minister Yu: "I heard that Zhu Fuguo seemed to be engaged."
Zhu Hengjia: "This is easy to handle. If you two go in together, there will be no difference between the big and the big."
Yu Chao was convinced.

Guangxi Si'endu Yangtu Village is a sea of joy.
Brother of the Tong clan: "The water is clear, the water is clear, and the carp scales are reflected in the clear water. The clear water reflects the girl's face, and the Dragon King immediately invites a matchmaker."
A girl from the Tong clan: "The water is clear, the water is clear, the carp fins are reflected in the clear water. The clear water reflects my brother's face, and the Dragon King immediately puts on his wedding dress."
Brother of the Tong clan: "There are clouds and spots in the sky. My sister, you are wearing red and blue. Your love songs are old and worn out. How dare you joke and play with me."
A girl from the child tribe: "The rails with high legs wear short skirts, and the partridges with short legs wear floral dresses. Although they are dressed differently, they always love to crow together by the water."
Brother Tongzu: "Good flower balls come with good flower balls, and good flowers float in the water. If you have an oar and a boat, follow the flowers. Without a boat or oar, it is difficult to meet."
A girl from the Tong tribe: "You should accept the bamboos or not, and you should keep the bamboo shoots. If you don't stretch out your hand in front of the flowers, you can watch the flowers flow without a paddle."
At the invitation of Duyang Chieftain Wang Long, Zhu Hengjia attended the engagement ceremony of the auxiliary general Zhu Hengkuo and Wang Yun. He followed the local customs and pacified Guangxi as soon as possible for Tong Han's family. Zhu Hengjia gave Wang Long enough face.
Folk songs continued along the way. Zhu Hengjia had a great time playing folk customs such as throwing hydrangeas, beating wooden troughs, smashing eggs, and looking at each other across the street.
The Tong tribe is indeed the hometown of folk songs, and Zhu Hengjia was stunned by the toast songs one after another.
"Bei ah nong ah, the Tong family has to sing when toasting. The sound of folk songs accompanies the wine. The more distinguished guests there are, the warmer the heart will be.", click a cup;
"Beiyanonah, it's like the spring breeze passing over the hillside", another cup is drunk;
"Beiyanonah, when the guests come to the door of the house, three bowls of welcome wine are presented to them. The rice wine is fragrant and the mountains are singing", and another glass is given;
"Bei ah nong ah, the Tong family's affection is held in the hand", bang, bang, and then there is only bang.

After pacifying Sien, Zhu Hengjia began to reorganize the army. The military system of the Ming Dynasty was chaotic, and the organization relied entirely on the generals. Taking the battalion as an example, some generals liked to organize small camps of 2,500 people, and some liked to organize large camps of 5,000 people. Camp. Zhu Hengjia is determined to unify the establishment.
The establishment is as follows: a team of five people, with a team leader, and one additional soldier; two teams, one team, with a team leader; three teams, one team, with a captain and deputy; three teams, one sentry, with a sentry commander , deputy sentry commander, town governor (military discipline officer); five posts are one general, with a commander (seventh rank), deputy commander, town governor (military discipline officer); five commanders are one battalion, with a guerrilla (fourth rank) Or the Dusi (from the fourth rank), the Duzhen Fu Envoy (the fifth rank, in charge of military discipline), the grain transport envoy (the sixth rank, in charge of documents and baggage), the battalion directly manages the cavalry, baggage troops, artillery, and personal soldiers. Each battalion has one sentry. Each battalion is about There are three thousand people. The battalion is the basic unit. According to the number of battalions under its jurisdiction, officers are assigned to higher levels. Two battalions are under the jurisdiction of the general (third rank), three battalions are under the deputy general (from the second rank), and five battalions are under the jurisdiction of the general. The commander-in-chief (the grade is variable, second grade and above), the headquarters of the general soldier is called a town. In addition, there are guards (fifth grade) in each government. Admirals, governors and other positions are set up as needed.
After deciding on the establishment, Zhu Hengjia expanded his troops into five towns: Yang Guowei was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, and his headquarters was called Guangxi Town, with jurisdiction over the front, rear, left, middle and right battalions; Yan Tianfeng was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Zhaoqing.
The headquarters was called Zhaoqing Town; Fan Youxian was appointed as Liuzhou Commander-in-Chief, and the headquarters was called Liuzhou Town; Shi Qiwen was appointed as Xunwu Commander-in-Chief, and the headquarters was called Xunwu Town; Yan Daogao was promoted to Si'en Commander-in-Chief, and the headquarters was called Si'en Town.<

Zhu Hengjia led the five battalions of his own army: Yang Wu was appointed as the deputy general of the cavalry camp, Li Yi was the deputy general of the central military camp, Yang Bei was the staff general of the guard camp, Zhao Erhu was the commander of the artillery camp, and Zhang Chengwu was the commander of the bird camp. The artillery camp and the bird gun
The camp was newly established. Liu Gui was appointed deputy general of the Guangxi Navy.
During this reorganization, four battalions of native soldiers were organized into Liuzhou Town and Xunwu Town, with Huang Minghe, Wang Long, Wei Gao and Li Bao serving as captains respectively.
Zhu Hengjia broke the previous rules and paid the local soldiers. He said to the four of them, "The court did not pay you before, and it is the court's fault that you looted. From now on, we will pay you, and you are the soldiers of the court."
"If you dare to plunder again, you will be punished by military law." All four people said they did not dare.
After the reorganization was completed, Zhu Hengjia trained his troops day and night, preparing to attack the Cen family in Sicheng and the Huang family in Taiping.
