Liu Jun's eyes were filled with joy. Although most of the chieftains in various places were rebelled, they were not able to become as completely chaotic as the previous Bozhou Rebellion and the She'an Rebellion.

On the contrary, when the Han army captured a place, they opened the warehouse to share grain and land for the barbarians, exempted debt and reduced interest rates, and ordered the abolition of slavery. Countless slaves were fighting to join militias in various places, hoping to gain freedom two years in advance.

Even many chieftains' villages, before the Han army could attack, the serfs rebelled.

Even many Bai Yi turned against each other.

According to Liu Qiao's report, there are now more than 100,000 serfs liberated in Guizhou, and the number of Baiyi who defected to join them was more than 500,000.

Bai Yi is the main body of the Yi people, and half of the Yi people are Bai Yi, and Bai Yi is also the backbone local soldiers among the Yi chieftains. Now the full rebellion of these Bai Yi has caused Guizhou chieftains to be surrounded by their own people.

It didn't take the Han army's efforts. Many Bai Yi had untied the chains of the serfs and led them to capture the local officials, Tumen and those black Yi, and sent them to present them to the Han army.

Those Miao villages, Dong villages, Tu villages, etc. have also surrendered and surrendered.

The overall situation in Guizhou has been settled. Many Guizhou natives have retreated and fled to the provinces of Guangxi and Yunnan, leaving behind the foundation of the family business that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Liu Qiao also told Liu Jun a good news. This time, he used troops in Guizhou. The 60,000 troops in the south did not consume much money and grain, but on the contrary, he also made a lot of money. They seized countless forts from local officials, and the spoils they seized filled several warehouses in Guiyang City.

Although some money and grain were distributed to the "militia", it only accounted for a small part. Not to mention, another important asset obtained by the court was the land, castles, shops, mines, workshops, etc. that had lost their owners.

This news is really exciting.

The court also successfully divided these indigenous peoples, causing those who were once exploited and enslaved by the upper class to rise up to resist their past masters and to rebel.

The move was very successful when attacking the earth with soil. Liu Qiao's 60,000 troops basically had not fought a few decent battles. Liu Jun was originally worried that the road in Guizhou would be difficult and that the food, grass, cannonballs and other transportation would not be enough. Now, the material warehouses in Guiyang City are full, and more and more piles are piled up.

There was no need to dispatch artillery, and even the Han army's muskets were needed. The fanatical militia had already overturned their past masters.

"Guizhou has organized 100,000 militias."

When Liu Jun saw this number, he was shocked. But then he thought that having compiled so many militias means that the indigenous people in Guizhou had been fully mobilized.

As for the fact that so many militias were organized, they would have to pay and reward them. Although it would be a considerable amount of money, Liu Jun felt it was worth it. This was a change of the world in Guizhou, which allowed these oppressed social bottoms to stand up and become the imperial households and people, so that they could exhale. At the same time, they had to feel the difference after becoming the people of the empire.

Following the empire is a bright future.

We must also let them break completely with their former masters and no longer give those people an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Liu Jun picked up his pen and began to write an edict to Liu Qiao. He asked Liu Qiao to clean up the fields as soon as possible. He distributed the fields to the militia as much as possible, and allowed them to buy these official fields.

The price of the land is slightly lower than the market price in the past. As long as these militia are willing to redeem, they will be sold to them, and even the bank can ask them to apply for mortgages to buy land.

The court does not need to keep these lands. Don’t care about the price and interest of the land. If possible, try to sell the land to the people. In this way, the people with the land will be even more grateful to the court. At the same time, the court does not have to worry about managing these lands. The court only needs to collect taxes.

Now the money earned by the people as militia will be bought and returned to the court by buying land. They can also completely consolidate the court's rule in Guizhou.

For Guizhou militia, it is enough to give them the opportunity to go to the battlefield. There is no need to keep it all the time. Each militia fights two battles, and then they can be disbanded and returned to their hometowns, or hire them to build roads in Guizhou.

As for those captured local officials and soldiers, Liu Jun meant not to kill them, but he would not let them go easily. He had to accept labor reform and build mountains and roads in Guizhou. Everyone had to work hard for at least five years. After five years of road construction, they would move them to Hainan, Taiwan, Liaodong and other places, and give them a piece of wasteland. Let them be self-sufficient again.

Liu Qiao hopes that the court can immediately select a group of local officials to take over the local government office.

Qin Liangyu has entered Yunnan, and Liu Qiao also hopes to end the follow-up in Guizhou as soon as possible and enter Yunnan as soon as possible.

Liu Jun picked up the pen and told Liu Qiao in the letter not to rush to Yunnan. First, stabilize Guizhou, and after the officials selected by the imperial court arrived, they had to continue to maintain it in Guizhou for a period of time.

As for the rebellion in Yunnan, there is no need to worry. Let the rebels jump first. The court also hopes that all the rebellions will emerge and be caught in one go. As for the damage caused by the rebels, there are not many Han people in Yunnan anyway.

Liu Jun stopped writing and pondered for a while.

A long time later, he picked up his pen and continued to write.

"If you have the chance, don't rush to eliminate the riots in Yunnan, try to drive them south!"

To the south of Yunnan are Myanmar and Vietnam.

At this time, many places on the junction of Myanmar and Yunnan were once chieftains from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, but later occupied by Myanmar. For example, Mubang, a road was established in the 26th year of Zhiyuan (129th year). The capital was located in the northeastern part of Shan State in Myanmar. In the 15th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to the prefecture, and in the second year of Yongle, it was changed to the Military and Civilian Xuanwei Envoy Office; in the 34th year of Wanli, it entered Myanmar.

Vietnam in the southeast was already a county established in the Central Plains during the Qin and Han Dynasties. It rebelled at the end of the Tang Dynasty and was taken back in the early Ming Dynasty, but later the Vietnamese rebelled and established the Li Dynasty and the Ming army withdrew.

In Liu Jun's view, although there are various historical reasons, the current situation is the case.

However, in the past, the imperial court had weak control over the strength of places like Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and it was normal for the jungle areas in the horizons of Myanmar and Vietnam.

But now the Han Dynasty is in its strong moment. After the imperial court took over Yunnan and Guizhou and returned to the land, its control over the southwest will naturally be greatly improved. At this time, it is also appropriate for the imperial court to expand southward.

The battle between countries is the law of the jungle, and the strong prey on the weak. It doesn’t matter whether the Central Plains dynasty once had sovereignty in these places before. What’s important is that the current Han Han have the strength to expand to the southwest one step further.

Even if it is just to conquer these places first, take them into the empire's throne, and incorporate them into the empire's territory step by step, it is very worthwhile.

Liu Jun knew very well that in fact, when a dynasty truly had the ambition and ability to make progress, it was mostly in the previous hundred years. In the previous hundred years, it would fix the territory of the dynasty. If the territory was not expanded at the beginning of the country, it would basically be difficult to achieve success in the future.

The southwest is just as worthy of the imperial court's development, and even more valuable than the cold northeast.

Liu Jun has already set his sights on these two places.

But he still needs a reason. As the saying goes, the master must be famous. Conquering for no reason is of course not possible.

Liu Jun believed that Liu Qiao could understand his meaning. If the rebel chieftains from Yunnan, Guizhou and other places fled to Myanmar and Vietnam, the court would have a reason to leave the army and enter the country.

However, the current situation in Myanmar and Vietnam is completely different.

Myanmar is now the second largest unified dynasty in its history. Nearly a hundred years ago, Myanmar's Dong-shou unified various tribes of Myanmar. But forty years ago, there were continuous peasant uprisings in China. Generals of the Arakan Dynasty joined forces with the Portuguese to capture the capital of Myanmar and captured the king alive. Myanmar almost lost its country and lost half of its country. It took more than ten years to defeat the mercenaries of the Grape Army, complete the unification again, and revival again.

Now that King Talong is in power, Myanmar's national strength is not weak, but colonial forces such as the Netherlands, Britain, France and other colonial forces invaded again, and the strength of the Toho dynasty began to weaken again.

Vietnam to the east is weaker than the Toho dynasty of Myanmar at this time, both its territory and its strength.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Hu Dynasty in Vietnam and recovered Vietnam. But soon after, Vietnam rebelled, the Ming army withdrew, and Li Li proclaimed emperor, and was named Taizu of the Later Li, and the country was named Dayue. The Ming Dynasty enthroned Li Li and recognized the Li Dynasty. Vietnam paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty every three years.

Less than a hundred years after the founding of the country, Li later declined, and the powerful minister Mo Dengyong usurped the throne and established the Mo Dynasty.

Mo Chao once occupied the entire Vietnam, but the officials and generals of the Later Li Dynasty continued to revolt. In the end, the Later Li Dynasty was restored and occupied half of the southern territory. However, when the situation in the Later Li Dynasty was good, the actual commander of the Later Li Dynasty, Lu Gan, was poisoned by Mo Chao. Ruan Gan's son-in-law Zheng Song inherited the rights of Ruan Gan and became the leader of the Later Li Dynasty. Zheng Song led his army to defeat Mo Chao and regained the capital Shenglong Mansion, and Mo Chao retreated to the north.

Since Zheng Song regained Shenglong Mansion more than 40 years ago, the Li court returned to Shenglong. In fact, the Emperor Li Dynasty was just a puppet, Emperor Xian of Han, and Zheng Song was Cao Cao.

Since then, the Li Dynasty and Mo Chao have been in opposition from north to south and attacking each other. Mo Chao has become weaker and weaker, but they have been breathing. The Li Dynasty is not peaceful. After Zheng Song's death, Zheng Song's son first had internal conflicts, and later the new Zheng Lord and Ruan Gan's son were suspicious of each other. Zheng Lord sent Ruan Huang to remote places in the south. As a result, Ruan Gan's son was very capable and actively managed in remote Hue to win the hearts of the people. Later, he developed into the Ruan Lord's regime that dominated the south.

At the same time, in the Later Li Dynasty, there was also the Wu clan, who ruled Xuanguang Town.

Therefore, in this narrow area of ​​Vietnam, there are both the Mo Chao who survived in the north, and the Hou Li Chao who was plotted to usurp the throne and restored the throne in the south and occupy most of Vietnam.

However, in the Later Li Dynasty, Emperor Li was just a puppet, and the Zheng family was the one who was in power. However, there was also the Ruan Master in the south, and the Ruan Family was separatist, and the Wu family in the central part was also the Wu family.

Vietnam is now both the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the separatist era of feudal states. But both Zheng and Nguyen were actually not weak, especially the Nguyen family occupied the south, annexed small countries such as Chameng, traded with Westerners, and had a new type of firearm troops.

According to the information from the Jinyiwei, the Zheng and Ruan factions have fought three major wars in more than ten years from the seventh year of the Tianqi period to the present. The first battle lasted for one year, the second battle lasted for three years, and the third battle lasted for six years and it has not ended.

However, whether it is the Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar or the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Vietnam, the separatist vassal states are all on the decline.

Liu Jun felt that this was a good time for the big man to intervene. (To be continued.)
