On New Year's Day in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun proclaimed to the world: Tian Yufeng, Yang Chaodong, Yang Zhaolong, He Hanliang, Tian Feipeng, Tian Yipeng, Sun Shitai, Ma Qiansi, etc., were beheaded at Caishikou. The rest of the people who pardoned their capital crimes were also castrated into slavery or sent to Jiaofangsi, and they only escaped their lives by luck.
The most heinous crime is treason and treason. Under this heinous crime, the only one who ended up with a better ending was Yang Hua Yang Xiaoluoli who was presented to Ye Xiaotian because of Emperor Wanli's bad taste.
Afterwards, the imperial court embalmed the heads of Yang Yinglong and his henchmen, and immediately passed them on to Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places. This was a deterrent to the chieftains of all parties.
The nearly 800-year-old Bozhou foundation of the Yang family was destroyed, and the Yang family was almost wiped out. Until the last moment, more than 5,500 thieves who were still guarding Hailongtun were exiled to Fujian and Guangzhou.
In this campaign, the imperial court killed more than 20,000 thieves, captured nearly 6,000 of their thieves, and successively captured or recruited nearly 120,000 people, spreading corruption in the state.
In this battle, the imperial court won, but in fact it was a miserable victory. For this battle, the imperial court mobilized troops from fifteen provinces. Li Hualong personally selected more than a hundred "smart and capable" prefectural and county magistrates from all over the country, and deployed weapons and equipment from weapons workshops and arsenals in ten provinces.
Just in the last battle against Hailongtun, the imperial court killed 78 generals, more than 4,600 soldiers, nearly 1,000 people were seriously injured, and nearly 2,500 people were slightly injured. The number of casualties reached a staggering 30,000 people.
Throughout the battle, due to the blind and aggressive advance of the Ming army in the early stage, they were repeatedly wiped out in ambushes, so the total number of casualties was four to five times that of the Banzhou side. Isn't this a miserable victory
The Ministry of Households was struggling to calculate the accounts: In this battle, the court spent 2.15 million taels of silver, 170,000 copper coins, 320,000 shi of rice, 70,000 catties of dried fish, and salt, ginger, dried garlic, vegetable…
This is only related to food and use, what about medicinal materials? What about pensions? What about rewards? What about the jersey? What about gunpowder? What about ordnance? What about the war horse? When Emperor Wanli woke up from his excitement, he suddenly discovered that he, the big winner, had actually won nothing.
Really want to say there is a winner, Zhu Yijun gritted his teeth and found out: The real big winner is actually Ye Xiaotian!
With this battle, Ye Xiaotian has become a strong soldier, and now the whole of Sinan has completely fallen into his control, not to mention, half of Bozhou has also fallen into his hands.
Yuqing, Meitan, Wengshui, Baini, Caotang, Huangping, the whole six prefectures are all under Ye Xiaotian's control.
Can Zhu Yijun get it back? able! The question is, after he takes it back, who will he give it to
Is there anyone who can reassure him more than Ye Xiaotian? Compared with those chieftains who have guarded their land for hundreds of years, Ye Xiaotian, this hideous guy, is actually the most trustworthy person he can only admit by pinching his nose, although he doesn't want to admit it.
The five divisions and seven surnames of Bozhou who have followed Yang for hundreds of years have completely disrupted their rule of Bozhou because of this battle. Those who boarded the Yang family's thief ship either died in battle, and those who survived were also included in the dead party and went to the capital to be questioned and beheaded.
Those who did not participate in Yang's rebellion but did not show their loyalty to the court, but blindly watched, were also revoked from their hereditary official positions, but this kind of complete destruction was mainly concentrated on the northern line, because the southern line was taken over by Ye Xiaotian in advance, so there was no local area. Encountered too many wars.
These places surrendered to Ye Xiaotian before Yang Yinglong's downfall, so those native officials were on the sidelines anyway, unlike some native officials who always remained "neutral", Wanli was the emperor, and the dignified emperor could not be punished without teaching.
Besides, even if he wanted to eat it in one bite, he couldn't do it. The local power there is too strong, and it is not his imperial edict at all, saying that if you become a place of rule, you can become a place of rule.
Let’s not talk about the areas where the complete native official system is still preserved on the southern line, let’s just talk about the northern line. Although Wanli has made up his mind to implement the system of floating officials there, he can only replace the magistrates, prefectures, and counties with people from the court. As for official positions such as Tongzhi, county magistrate, magistrate, and chief bookkeeper, a large number of local officials must be appointed to hold positions in order to effectively issue government orders.
If this is the case, after taking over such a large territory suddenly, it is still uncertain whether these officials can control these areas well after they take office. burden. At that time, where can I find so many unscrupulous Ye Xiaotian to do something to put things right
Wanli is really not reconciled! Originally, Yang Hua was bestowed on Ye Xiaotian, but he just wanted to add some obstacles to Ye Xiaotian, but he didn't think that he could really kill Ye Xiaotian by using Yang Hua. After all, Ye Xiaotian knew Yang Hua's identity, how could he not take precautions? But at this moment, he really wished that the little girl could chop up Ye Xiaotian to pieces, so as to relieve his hatred.
Daheng Luo went to the capital to pretend to be the God of Wealth, and the money cleared the way, working up and down, and Ye Xiaotian’s shameless petition arrived. Gradually, the civil and military ministers supported splitting Bozhou into two, and handing half of it over to Ye Xiaotian for execution by the native officials. System, half of the officials included in the official system began to increase.
But Zhu Yijun is still carrying it, although he knows that this is the best way to stabilize the court's rule, but he just doesn't want Ye Xiaotian to succeed so easily.
And Ye Xiaotian obviously guessed that Emperor Wanli would not let go easily. He had completely obtained the ruling power of the entire Sinan because of his military exploits, and got the official position of Xuanfu envoy. The emperor would immediately assign him the six prefectures of Bozhou and promote He became the highest-level consolation envoy among native officials
Ye Xiaotian looked at Huahua, the little maidservant in Tsing Yi who was waiting by the desk. The little girl was staring at him with big eyes, as if she wanted to stare at him to death. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help shaking his head secretly. How can it be! Just give this girl to that black-bellied guy, how could he give in so easily.
Ye Xiaotian took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's about time, all the preparations are ready, and the six prefectures of Bozhou are basically straightened out. It seems that I should go to Shuixi and Shuidong for a while." Suffered!"
"To Shuixi? I'll accompany you!" Zhan Ning'er heard Ye Xiaotian's plan, and immediately geared up, eager to try: "I haven't seen Grandpa for a long time, and I just happened to visit his old man."
"Don't..." Ye Xiaotian was startled: "Look at her Yingying, and then at her Miaowen, who would jump up and down like you when she was pregnant? Sit down quickly, with such a big belly..."
How could Zhan Ning'er be willing to listen? Among the three tigers in Shuixi, she was the only one who knew martial arts. Now that she has a big belly, she doesn't feel burdened at all: "I told you it's fine, I want to go with you! Since I was pregnant, I'm not allowed to go, then I'm not allowed to go, people are almost bored to death!"
Zhan Ning'er began to act coquettishly and complain, Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to say: "Ning'er, you can go with me at any other time, but this time... no!"
Zhan Ning'er raised her brows upside down: "Why didn't it work this time?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "I went this time because I was kidnapped by your grandpa. If you go, you will be caught between your grandpa and me. How will you behave?"
