Chapter 250 Gan and Shaanxi come to attack, attacking the chieftains(2/2)

On the front line. I have been with the peasant army through thick and thin for more than ten years. Although I have suffered repeated setbacks, I have never wavered in my determination. I am approaching my twilight years and I am still ambitious. I have devoted myself to restoring the country and fulfilling the promise of the "Three Lis" until I died in the line of duty. Indeed,

He is worthy of being an honorable minister of Nanming.

Because of Wen Anzhi's outstanding work, many Tujia leaders respected Wen Anzhi as "Wen Guoxiang" and were willing to organize military pay. At the same time, Wen Anzhi also helped the peasant army overcome banditry.

As the anti-Qing base area, the relatively stable situation in the Bawu Mountain Area was certainly the result of the peasant army's hard work, but it was also inseparable from Wen Anzhi's careful management.

Historically, after Wen'an's death, the anti-Qing organizations on the Sichuan-Hubei border once again lost their unified command. If he were still alive, under the Qing army's "suppression", the thirteen families should be able to unite and fight together.

Although I dare not say that it can defeat the Qing government, it will cause greater losses to the Qing army.

Although the people died, the government still existed. Li Weizuo, the current highest official in the Kuidong region, admired Wen Anzhi's good policies such as "farming for self-sufficiency, promoting the interests of salt and iron, and buying and selling with the people", and many policies continued without change.

In order to implement the plan, he also imitated Wen'an's relatives and entered the native barbarians to win the support of native officials in various ministries to provide supplies for the army and strengthen the armed forces to resist the Qing Dynasty.

The goodwill and appeasement of official seals were important, but Li Weizuo was also determined to crack down on the chieftains who defected to the Qing Dynasty and insisted on being enemies of the Ming Dynasty to deter others. Among them, the Chieftain Peng of Shizhu repeatedly resisted the Ming army's protection.

That is the key goal.

Now that the grand strategy of emigrating from western Hubei to eastern Sichuan has been decided, local obstacles must be eliminated. There are also conflicts between the Thirteen Families and local official forces from time to time. As for what Li Laiheng said about using war as training,

Liu Tichun was not surprised.

"The Ma family of Shizhu Xuanweisi——" Liu Tichun pondered for a moment and then said cautiously: "It is best if you don't use swords. Their military strength cannot be underestimated!"

Chieftain Shizhu was one of the six great officials of the Tujia family, and the Ma family gave birth to a heroine - Qin Liangyu, who was the wife of chieftain Ma Qiancheng. After Ma Qiancheng was killed, Qin Liangyu became his successor because his son was young.

He led his brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Minping to participate in the battles against the Qing army, She Chongming Rebellion, Zhang Xianzhong Rebellion and other battles. Their military exploits were outstanding and they were named the Second Grade Imperial Lady.

Emperor Zhu Youjian once wrote four poems in praise of Qin Liangyu. After Qin Liangyu's death, later generations of literati wrote many poems praising Qin Liangyu. There was once a praise of "In memory of Hua Mulan; we should learn from Qin Liangyu." After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Southern Ming Dynasty posthumously named Qin Liangyu.

He is the "Loyal Marquis".

Even if Qin Liangyu is not mentioned, the Ma family has a profound family background. They are the descendants of Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo in the Han Dynasty, and the hereditary Xuanfu envoy of Shili. But now, the chieftain Ma Xianglin's son Ma Wannian, who is also the grandson of Qin Liangyu, has been in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.

In the sixth year (1659), he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was still granted the post of Xuanwei Envoy.

Since the time of Qin Liangyu, there have been "white pole soldiers" who are brave and good at fighting in Shizhu. They also command the Eighteen Ridges of Jiuxi. Outside the mountains are the Chen, Wu, Gao, Ya, Luo and Xiang tribes. Within the mountains are Tan, Liu, Feng,

He, Ran, Jiang, and Bai are the seven tribes. Although there is no city wall but a cave village, all thirteen tribes have to set up a village fence and have soldiers to farm the land as much as they can. If there is a policeman, each village will stand together to obey the command.

The territory is dotted with high peaks and ridges, where all ethnic groups station their troops. The Zhonglu, Youyang, Tangyan, Shaxi and other divisions all have stone pillars as their chiefs, and there are constant inquiries. In terms of strength, it should not be underestimated.

"Not all Jiuxi Shibadong may be loyal to the Ma family. There are also several tribes among the thirteen tribes that want to break away." Wang Yougong sneered and said: "If Ma always remembers my grandmother's loyalty and loyalty, our army can show mercy. If so.

If you are determined to attach yourself to the Qing Dynasty, then you can't say that you have to let the stone pillars fall apart. From now on, there will only be the Department of Appeasement and the Chief of Lawsuits, and there will no longer be the Department of Xuanwei."

Wang Yougong's intention is very obvious, which is to make the stone pillars smaller, not to set up the large native official position of Xuanweisi, but to use more small native officials to manage it. This will prevent one family from becoming a dominant one and is more convenient.
