    Chengdu!  Governor's Yamen.

    After receiving the news that Zhang Ling was captured by the bandit army and that the main force of the bandit army entered Jianmen Pass and stationed in Mianyang, Chengdu fell into a depressed atmosphere. All the civil servants and generals had a solemn face.  At this time, the civil servants finally realized that they had made a bad idea. If Zhang Ling had guarded Jianmen Pass well, he would never have allowed the main force of the rebel army to enter the Chengdu Plain, and Zhang Ling would not have been attacked by the rebel army on the way back.  ambush.

    Civil officials did not understand military affairs, but they relied on the power of using civil society to control military affairs and deployed them randomly, and finally caused a big problem.

    The military attach¨¦s in the lobby had angry expressions on their faces, and some even quarreled with the civilian officials next to them.  Those civil servants knew in their hearts that it was their fault, but they would never admit it. Instead, they confidently said that Zhang Ling's fighting skills were too poor, which was why he was captured by the rebels. The hall was in chaos and noisy.  .

    Qin Liangyu sat among the noisy crowd, with a calm face and said nothing.  Of course she knew from her experience that it would be better to save some energy and use it to fight the rebels than to quarrel with these inexplicable civil servants.  The most unconvincing people in this world are civil servants, because even if they are wrong, they will not admit their mistakes Based on this, they are hopeless.

    Qin Liangyu just whispered to Shao Jiechun next to him and asked: "Sir Governor, how are the remaining reinforcements we mobilized doing now?"

    Shao Jiechun sighed. He also knew that it was wrong to transfer Zhang Ling back, but he was also a master who refused to admit his mistakes. If Qin Liangyu didn't condemn him, he would naturally not mention Zhang Ling's matter and replied: "Xi  The Dongtu barbarian soldiers have arrived, and the Miao soldiers have also arrived These two groups together number about five thousand, so I temporarily arranged them in Huangniwa."

    "Huangniwa?" Qin Liangyu was shocked and said anxiously: "How can we let them station there? Huangniwa is low and not a good place to garrison troops. The rebels only need to walk to the edge of the depression to overlook Huangniwa.  The panoramic view of the mudflat and the secrets of our army can be seen at a glance. The terrain is concave, and if attacked by the bandit army, they will be surrounded and killed immediatelyWhy doesn't the governor allow the Xidong soldiers and Miao soldiers to enter Chengdu?"

    There was a wry smile on Shao Jiechun's face: "I have no choice but to do so. The Xidong native barbarians refused to obey the king and were brutal and ferocious. If they are allowed to enter Chengdu, the Han people in Chengdu will be in great misfortune and the Miao soldiers  They are even more vicious, vicious, and unpredictable How can I put these two armies in Chengdu?"

    Qin Liangyu felt anxious. Although the Xidong soldiers and Miao soldiers were not convinced by Wang Hua, they were not described as "vicious and vicious", right? She actually knew a little bit about the prejudice of the Han people against ethnic minorities.  But the extreme contempt for the ethnic minorities in Shao Jiechun's tone was a little too much, so he quickly advised: "Although the Xidong native barbarian soldiers and Miao soldiers did not obey the king, this is the time when the survival of Shu is in crisis.  , even if they are still disobedient, they will not mess around at this time. Besides, the governor only needs to give more gold and silver and try his best to appease them, so that these two armies can be temporarily obedient, and then they can be dispatched immediately after the rebel army is defeated.  , we cannot allow them to stay in Huangniwa under any circumstances."

    Shao Jiechun shook his head: "General Qin, although I trust you Tujia people, I can't trust other barbarians. If they are not from my tribe, they must have different minds. I don't trust them to enter Chengdu. Don't do this again."  carry."

    Qin Liangyu was extremely depressed and had to say again: "Even if they are not allowed to enter Chengdu, they cannot be stationed in Huangniwa. At this time, Shaogong must not sit in defense of the fortified city. He should strike first and compete with the rebels for the mountain."  "

    Shao Jiechun had a calm face and said nothing.  I was thinking about whether I should let the Xidong soldiers and Miao soldiers be stationed in another place to seize the mountains and rivers from the rebels.

    At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in. This soldier was wearing Tujia folk costume. He knew at a glance that he was Qin Liangyu's subordinate. He ran to Qin Liangyu, knelt down in front of him, and then sent a letter with both hands.

    Qin Liangyu was shocked when he saw the cover: Is this written by my son Xianglin?

    At this time, Shao Jiechun was sitting next to her, and he glanced over inadvertently. When he saw the letter was written by Ma Xianglin, Shao Jiechun was also shocked. He knew that Ma Xianglin had been captured by the bandit army, and he suddenly received a letter from him at this time.  The letter is quite strange.  Shao Jiechun was embarrassed to say that he wanted to read the family letter, but he deliberately turned his body sideways, obviously wanting to peek into the content of the letter.  As for the "don't look at anything inappropriate" that scholars pay attention to, he no longer cares about it.

    As a military general, Qin Liangyu could feel and avoid even the swords and spears coming from behind on the battlefield. Of course she could feel the small movements of a civil servant next to her, but she was aboveboard and never thought of blocking her own message.  , then unfolded the letter in front of Shao Jiechun.  When she read the content, she was shocked. It turned out that the letter said that the thieves mobilized troops to surround and kill the five thousand white-armed soldiers under Ma Xianglin. He was worried that the white-armed soldiers would be wiped out and have a huge impact on the Tujia people in Shizhu. Therefore,  He had no choice but to compromise with the thieves and promised to use five million kilograms of grain in exchange for his life and the lives of the five thousand white soldiers The end of the letter also stated that Zhu Jun would send technicians to guide the Tujia people to plant new crops.

      Zhu Yuanzhang had an extremely accurate grasp of Qin Liangyu's psychology. If he threatened Qin Liangyu with the lives of Ma Xianglin and five thousand white-armed soldiers to withdraw from Chengdu, it would be absolutely impossible for Qin Liangyu to agree. He would rather watch his son die than surrender to him.  The thief compromises.  But now that the bandit army only wants five million kilograms of grain, Qin Liangyu has no intention of resolutely opposing it.  She took the letter, thought about it carefully for a while, sighed, handed the letter to the Tujia soldier who brought the letter in and said: "Go back to Shizhu and give this letter to the elders of the clan and let them  Do as the letter says Let's tighten our belts for a year and redeem those five thousand brothers."

    As soon as these words came out, Shao Jiechun next to him was immediately satisfied. He had read the content of the letter and figured out what was going on. He quickly said: "General Qin, your move is inappropriate"

    Qin Liangyu said: "What's wrong?"

    Shao Jiechun said: "You Tujia people are you are collaborating with the enemy!"

    Qin Liangyu frowned slightly: "How can this be called collaborating with the enemy? My people were captured by thieves, and the thieves put forward conditions for redemption, so I agreed to the conditions. This is a strategy to save myself."

    Shao Jiechun shook his head and said: "By handing five million kilograms of grain to the thieves, aren't you helping the thieves raise military rations? It's better to give this much military rations to the court"

    Qin Liangyu was slightly angry in his heart, but did not get angry. He just said calmly: "Master Shao, if you can rescue my son Xianglin and his five thousand white soldiers, I can also give you these grains."

    Shao Jiechun suddenly became speechless.  After a while, he whispered: "Since General Pony and the five thousand white-armed soldiers have been captured, the situation is already in danger. It doesn't matter whether they can be saved" He wanted to say that it didn't matter whether he was saved or not.  , it is better to give the grain to the officers and soldiers, but he is not a fool.  The last half of the sentence was left unsaid.  It just means that.  It was clearly shown on his face.

    Qin Liangyu said seriously: "Seventeen years ago, during the Battle of Hunhe, my son Xianglin led the white pole soldiers and were surrounded by Tatars. Originally, there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers nearby who could rush to the rescue. However, in the end, no one came to help and just sat back and watched our army.  In the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, my daughter-in-law Feng Yi led her troops to pursue the Thirty-sixth Battalion of bandits and was besieged by Wang Ziyong in Houjiazhuang. There were clear signs nearby.  There were officers and soldiers led by Sun Hongmo and Yang Fang, but they did not give any help. They just sat and watched my Shizhu soldiers disappear and Fengyi die in battle"

    Speaking of this, Qin Liangyu's face had a sad look on her face, and she said gloomily: "This time my son Xianglin was captured, I don't expect the imperial court to lend a helping hand. We have to rely on our Tujia people to rescue the headquarters, right? There is no need to say more, Governor."  .¡±

    Shao Jiechun was speechless.  Even though he was a Jinshi and had sharp teeth, he couldn't say a single word at this moment. You must know that no matter where he goes to argue, only the imperial court owes Qin Liangyu.  Qin Liangyu owed nothing to the court.  But the thought of the Tujia people compromising with the thieves and sending five million kilograms of grain to redeem their people always made him feel strange and very unhappy.

    His expression changed for a long time.  In the end, he turned into a black face and snorted coldly: "In that case Chengdu doesn't bother General Qin to garrison. Please also ask General Qin to move to Chongqing Chengdu and Chongqing are at each other's rough edges. If the thief  If we attack Chengdu, Qin Liangyu can lead his troops to help."

    As soon as he said these words, he wanted to drive Qin Liangyu out of Chengdu.

    Qin Liangyu originally wanted to argue a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he thought about it carefully and was relieved. It turned out that Shao Jiechun not only couldn't trust Xitong and Miao soldiers, but also couldn't trust the white-pole soldiers of the Tujia people. How could this Han civilian official be trusted?  Only Han Bing, what he said not long ago, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts", actually meant it to the Tujia people, but he didn't say it so obviously.  Now he heard that the Baigan soldiers wanted to reach a certain degree of compromise with Zhu Jun, but he also suspected the Tujia people.

    Qin Liangyu didn't want to say anything more. After sighing, she stood up, clasped her fists and said, "In that case, the general will go and garrison in Chongqing Sigh" She turned around and left, her old body actually trembling slightly.  , if she hadn¡¯t been dedicated to the country, she wouldn¡¯t even want to go to Chongqing. She really wanted to return to Shizhu Old Village as soon as possible.

    (Note: Historically, Shuzhong fell because Shao Jiechun did not believe in Qin Liangyu and did not use his tactics. As a result, when he was captured by Zhang Xianzhong, he defeated the Sichuan soldiers with one drum. This book is slightly exaggerated. Please do not go into details¡ª¡ª

    The eleventh year of Chongzhen, winter, Mianyang, Yamen lobby.

    Zhu Yuanzhang was reading the documents sent from various places and making comments on them. Ma Xinyu sent a message, saying that the blacksmiths had finally made the first batch of revolving muskets produced with "molds", and Bai Yu would soon be able to make them.  Zhu Yuanzhang escorted him over. This news cheered up Zhu Yuanzhang, and he quickly gave instructions in the letter: "Do it quickly!"

    Then I saw a document sent by Zhu Jun's Shaanxi governor Li Qingshui, saying how many potatoes, how much corn, how much brown rice, how much cotton, etc. Shaanxi produced this year. This kind of document seemed to be the most energy-consuming. Zhu Yuanzhang had to put a big  Keeping a bunch of numbers in your mind makes it easier for you to make various decisions.

      After looking at it for a while, I just felt a little tired. I was about to drink a cup of tea to refresh myself and continue working, but I saw a letter from Zhang Yingxian¡¯s family mixed in among these documents. The letter was about his son.  Zhang Yingxian had already given birth to a son for Zhu Yuanzhang ten years ago in Chongzhen. At this time, the son was one year old, lively and cute, but Zhu Yuanzhang had been away at war, and the child had not seen his father yet.  Zhang Yingxian casually wrote some interesting things about her son in the letter, and then wrote about missing him.  Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, his fatigue gone.  It was a mistake for him to be with Zhang Yingxian, but after many years, this mistake has turned into a fate, and Zhu Yuanzhang paid more and more attention to his wife.

    He picked up the documents again to give instructions, but saw a figure at the door, and a spy ran in and reported: "General, we have received news that Qin Liangyu has left Chengdu and stationed in Chongqing"

    "Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not change, and he did not put down the documents in his hand.  Without moving his eyes, he waved his hand and said, "I got it."

    The spy was very surprised: Why did the general have no reaction at all after hearing such good news? Isn't this a good thing?

    But he didn¡¯t know that Qin Liangyu¡¯s departure from Chengdu had already been planned by Zhu Yuanzhang when he sent Ma Xianglin¡¯s letter.  Already guessed it.  After Shao Jiechun read the letter, there was at least a 70% chance that he would send Qin Liangyu away.  Civil servants may not be able to do other things well, but their ability to destroy the Great Wall is at least unparalleled in the world.  Removing powerful generals like this.  Or killing people, the imperial court really did it all the time.

    Ma Xiaotian, who was guarding him, immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhu Bazhi, your strategy is indeed effective. What's next?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "There is no need to engage in any conspiracy and tricks next. Let's attack openly and openly Pass my order. March forward immediately, attack Huangniwa first scare the Xidong native barbarians and Miao soldiers.  Say it again."

    Ma Xiaotian asked curiously: "Brother Zhu Bage, don't we always have a policy of co-opting various ethnic minorities? Now that we suddenly have to fight again, isn't it a bit inconsistent with what you said before?"

    Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "We must adopt different strategies for different ethnic minorities. The Qiang people have always lived in the mountains and rarely care about worldly affairs, so we adopt the strategy of bribery. The Tujia people have always worn the same pants as the court, so we adopt the strategy of differentiation first  , and then win over the policy. However, the Xidong native barbarians and Miao soldiers have always been enemies of the Han people and disobeyed the king. We must first frighten them and beat them painfully so that they dare not challenge us. Then we can give them sweetness.  Let them return home.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it!¡± Ma Xiaotian was convinced¡ª¡ª

    Xia Erduo led a team that knew how to grow corn and set foot on the land of Shizhu. He was arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang to come to Shizhu.  Taught the Tujia people to grow corn.

    This trip can be described as very dangerous, because he is a thief leader in the eyes of the Tujia people.  The bandit army also captured General Ma Xianglin, who was beloved by everyone of the Tujia people, so Xia Erduo set out on his journey after making a will.  With the wealth he now has, he actually no longer needs to "get wealth and wealth through risk". Such dangerous things should not be done by him. However, when he promoted potatoes in Baishui, and later promoted corn in Guangyuan, he won the hearts of the people.  His love made him truly fall in love with the work of promoting new crops, which gave him a huge sense of satisfaction, and this sense of satisfaction cannot be measured by mere wealth.

    Walking into Shizhu all the way and passing many Tujia villages, he felt the poverty and backwardness of the Tujia people. The villages here were poorer than those of the Han people. Many people did not even have neat clothes to wear, or were just wearing bare clothes.  Bare arms, or bare upper body, and occasionally you can see bare buttocks Tujia people almost have no clothes to wear, only a bellyband made of coarse cloth.

    The reason is that filial sons are so tall that they can only wear a piece of clothing for a year. Therefore, adults do not dare to make clothes for their children. They can only save the limited money until the children are fully developed.  Once you are mature, you can start making clothes. Once you make a piece of clothing, you will have to wear it for more than ten years or a lifetime.

    The cause of poverty is of course inseparable from the land. The topography of Shizhu is as complex as Guangyuan, and it is also a karst landform. There are stone mountains everywhere. The soil layer on the mountains is extremely thin, and some mountains even have no soil layer at all, except for stones.  It was just moss and not even a few weeds could be found.  People's crops were planted on some strange terrains. Xia Erduo even saw a peasant woman planting an onion on a palm-sized piece of soil between the rocks.  It is really difficult for them to grow crops on such land. No wonder they live such a difficult life.

    Xia Erduo couldn't help but sympathize with these Tujia people. He was a kind-hearted person. Even though there were racial differences between the Tujia people and the Han people, he did not take this to heart, but secretly vowed to  Their lives get better.

    After passing through a large number of poor Tujia villages, Xia Erduo finally came to Wan, the old village of Shizhu Tujia people.Shouzhai.  This village is built on Wanshou Mountain. There are two stone peaks on the top of the mountain, which look like two pillars. It turns out that this is the origin of the name Shizhu.

    When I walked to the foot of the mountain, I looked up and saw that it was such a steep mountain. It was flat at the top and steep at the bottom. It was surrounded by cliffs. There was no other way to go up the mountain except the road facing you.  The wooden village on the mountainside is majestic, and there is a magnificent gate at the foot of the mountain. Although it is not built with any valuable materials, the wood used in this village is very thick, with stone beams on the top, making it very impressive.

    A couplet beside the gate of the village reads: "There are wonderful mountains and rivers in this IKEA, and there are extraordinary heroes. The longevity of the people and the country can be used as longevity emblems." The inscription on the door reads "Wanshou Village".  At the gate of the village, a group of soldiers with white poles stood upright holding white pole guns.

    Seeing Xia Erduo and his party, the white-pole soldiers all had angry looks in their eyes, but General Pony was still in the hands of the thieves, so they didn't dare to be rude to Xia Erduo, so they had to keep silent.

    Xia Erduo sighed secretly: Only later will you know that our Zhu Jun is not here to harm you!  He looked back at the convoy following him. This convoy was transporting all corn seeds. Looking at the corn seeds, Xia Erduo raised his head, puffed up his chest, and walked towards Wanshou Village.
