Governor Chen Shiqi surrendered, and the next thing would be easier. With this genuine governor's help, Zhu Qizi even saved even sending people to forge official documents.

Now, the only problem seems to be the King of Shu.

Zhu Qizhu really doesn't want to bear the charge of killing the royal family indiscriminately. After all, he was Jingnan, not a rebellion. He inherited the title of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he was also a true royal relative. Killing his own blood relatives had a great impact on his reputation.

The problem is that the King of Shu cannot stay. Not to mention anything else, the millions of acres of fertile land acquired by the King of Shu’s Mansion is a huge hidden danger. If the King of Shu doesn’t die, how can the people of Bashu live and work in peace?

As the saying goes, a small measure is not a gentleman, a non-toxic man is not a husband, and it is obvious that it cannot be killed, so it will be a dark place.

One night, a raging fire suddenly ignited in the palace of the Lord of Shu Palace. Shu King Zhu Zhishu and the princes who escaped from all over Bashu were burned to death!

Then, it began to spread among the people that the King of Shu was abused because he was afraid of falling into the hands of a rebel, so he burned himself to death.

As for whether it is true or not, it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, the rumor is self-immolation, not murder, which is enough.

He won't always use this trick, it's enough to use it this time.

After Chen Shiqi returned to Chengdu, he didn't say anything. He was also quite disgusted with these royal relatives, especially the people from the Shu Palace, who were examples of being rich and unkind.

After the war disaster, the people of Bashu were displaced and could not eat enough. The Tunwei sometimes even had to guard the city hungry because they did not have enough military rations. He didn't know how many times he had asked the Shu Palace for donating some money and grain to help the victims or let the Tunwei have a full meal for a few days, but the Shu Palace was just a stingy one.

Such a person will die more than anything else!

After returning to Chengdu, he didn't care about the Shu Palace at all. After discussing with Ma Qiancheng, he ordered people to post a notice of peace, saying that he had persuaded Shi Zhuxuan to comfort the envoy. Ma Qiancheng, the former general of Sichuan, had agreed to continue to serve the court and send troops to quell the rebellion.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Qiancheng led an army of 50,000 to rush out of the city and fought the army of more than 100,000 chieftains outside and fled in all directions.

The siege of Chengdu was lifted, and the chieftain soldiers patrolling everywhere on the street were gone. Tens of thousands of white-rod soldiers were just guarding the city walls and did not go around the city anymore. Everyone gradually returned to their normal life, and even left the city without any trouble.

All the people in the city were ecstatic and praised the governor for being Zhuge's rebirth.

They don't care whether the governor is acting with the general Ma Qiancheng. As long as they can resume normal life, they will be grateful.

The people in Chengdu were happy, but the people in other places were frightened, because after the army of more than 100,000 chieftains were dispersed, they did not return to Bozhou, Xuzhou and Shuixi, but ran around other prefectures, and some even surrounded some prefectures and counties, acting like they wanted to kill the city and rob.

The emergency documents from various prefectures and counties suddenly flew to Chengdu like snowflakes. Governor Chen Shiqi was not vague and immediately sent a white-rod soldiers to chase and suppress them.

The white-rod soldiers rushed over to help you drive the rebels away. How could you not let others enter the city?

When officials from various prefectures and counties saw Bai Gan soldiers coming to help, they basically welcomed them into the city happily, and then they were inexplicably caught by them.

Of course, there are also those who are particularly cautious, even if they see the official documents issued by the governor, they will not let the Bai Gan soldiers enter the city.

This doesn't matter much. You don't let the city go, right? Bai Gan soldiers don't force it. If they don't let the city go, they will leave without any ambiguity.

However, soon, the rebels came again and surrounded the city and attacked fiercely.

Without reinforcements, there are usually no cities that can withstand the siege of tens of thousands of rebels or even tens of thousands of rebels without reinforcements. It will only take a while for a while for the city to break the city. None of the officials in the city can escape. When the rebels arrested the people, the white-rod soldiers ran over to drive the rebels away, and the result was the same.

After several months of "clearing down", the chieftain rebels were finally completely driven out of Bashu and fled back to the west. The thirteen prefectures, six Zhili prefectures and fifteen scattered prefectures in Sichuan were all "recovered" by the Baigang soldiers.

Of course, this recovery is false and the occupation is true. At this point, the entire Sichuan was occupied by the army under Zhu Qizhuo.

As for the local officials of each prefecture, they were all concentrated in Chongqing Prefecture.

At this time, the role of Governor Chen Shiqi was reflected again. He was not the kind of governor transferred from the capital or from other places. He has been working in Sichuan over the years.

He was a Sichuan Provincial Government and a Deputy Envoy of Sichuan Army Preparation, and also a Sichuan Provincial Governor for a period of time. Although there were many local officials in Sichuan who did not know him.

Similarly, he also knows these local officials quite well.

He basically knows who is honest and honest, who is corrupt and abused, who is outstanding in his ability, who is useless.

In fact, he had long wanted to make drastic rectification of the administration of Sichuan, but most of the officials under his rule had more or less related to the powerful and powerful in the court. Even if he wanted to deal with them, he would not be able to pass the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate.

Now, he is in trouble with King Jing of Tang anyway, he doesn't have to worry about the Ministry of Personnel or the Censorate.

Whoever is corrupt and abuses the law will be dismissed from office and investigated.

Whoever is honest and honest will be promoted appropriately.

Whoever has outstanding abilities will be entrusted with important responsibilities.

Whoever is useless, then go back to farm!

Reorganizing the administration is one aspect, and retaining people with his prestige is another aspect. After his persuasion, most of the officials chose to stay and continue to serve. Following the Tang King Zhu Qi, the Emperor Yongsheng, to fight against the crisis. As for those corrupt officials and their wine bags, they were basically cleaned up.

There are nearly half of the fewer officials in Sichuan, but their efficiency is much higher than before.

At the command of Emperor Yongsheng Zhuqi, under the auspices of Chen Shiqi, he distributed grain to provide relief to the victims, repaired water conservancy and resumed production, counted the population and rebuilt yellow books, measured the land and allocated fertile land, etc., etc. were soon launched.

As local officials reported it layer by layer, Zhuqiu was surprised to find that those who won Bashu won the world were indeed true.

This can be seen from the approximate population and arable land area of ​​Bashu.

At this moment, even the most conservative estimate is that the population of Bashu is more than 20 million, while the arable land area is at least more than 60 million mu.

This is quite terrifying. Even if it is calculated based on the minimum standard of two stones per mu, Bashu can produce more than 100 million stones of grain every year. According to the standard of 20 taxes, Bashu alone can harvest more than 6 million stones of tax grain in a year!

Six million stones of food are enough to support a 500,000 army!

In other words, Zhuqizi does not need Nanyang, Yunyang, or even Dongfan. The Bashu alone is enough to support all the troops under his command.

That's not all, Bashu's wealth is beyond his imagination.

For example, rivers are densely populated in Bashu, and tributaries of the Yangtze River such as Minjiang River, Tuojiang River, Jialing River, Jinsha River, Dadu River, Qingyi River, Wujiang River and other Yangtze River are almost everywhere in Bashu. As long as water conservancy facilities are built in place, tens of millions of arable land will not be affected by drought at all.

For example, there are still tens of millions of acres of grassland in Bashu, and it is no problem to support hundreds of thousands of war horses.

For example, Bashu also has rich mineral resources such as iron ore, copper ore, coal ore, saltpeter ore, and there is no shortage of materials for making guns, cannons, ships, and gunpowder.

No wonder during the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Han could fight against the entire Central Plains for more than 40 years with just one place in Bashu. During this period, Zhuge Liang also made more than ten attempts in the north, almost defeating Cao Wei.
