Chastity Layman

The mountain barbarians were brought down and Cao Wuzheng beheaded, so the border between Hunan and Guangxi was temporarily peaceful.

Qin Yong and others all advocated a thunderous purge, even though he would kill all the demons and ghosts, but Qin Lang suppressed his anger.

Li Daliang sat in the Guizhou yamen, and after hearing Qin Lang's plan of focusing on caressing, he also deeply agreed.

When Qin Lang went south, he had already killed thousands of people, he had enough prestige, and the barbarians were overwhelmed, so now it is time to appease him.

"Wei Gong is on his tour to the south of the sky. Now that Li Xizhi has entered the court, and Sima's rebellion has been punished, there is an undercurrent surging under the surface calm of Guizhou Prefecture. Before Cao Wuzheng, he not only contacted Yuecheng Man, but also contacted Mengzhu. Qiao waited for the man, and also secretly communicated with Tan Dian and the other commanders." Li Daliang was the governor of Annan Metropolitan Guard and governor of Jiaozhou, and now he was only passing through Guizhou.

Of course, the matter here has nothing to do with him, but he has a good relationship with Qin Lang, so naturally he should give him some advice.

"The top priority now is to post a notice and send people down to the county and township to reassure the people. The other one is a soldier."

Qin Lang nodded.

"After the original Guizhou soldiers were disbanded, Cao Wuzheng retained thousands of people in the name of Tutuan, who were actually their private soldiers. So this time I plan to solve this problem first."

Qin Lang's plan was to confiscate all the weapons from the previous soldiers, and then pay them some severance pay to let them disarm and return to the fields. Then Qin Lang recruited a new group of local soldiers from the fifteen counties of Guizhou to maintain law and order. Shock Xiaoxiao.

"My plan is 15 counties in Guizhou. Each county will build an earth group with 200 people. Guizhou City will build another battalion of 800 people. In addition, Yanguan and Qincheng will each have a battalion of 800 people. This totals 4,600 people. In addition, three Jimi counties were newly established in Yuechengling, and each of them formed a mountain barbarian regiment of 200 people."

The tutuans are divided into rotations at ordinary times, responsible for road inspections, catching thieves and robbers, maintaining law and order, assisting in city defense, etc. In case of rebellion, etc., they will obey the government's call to help quell the rebellion.

"For the selected Tutuan soldiers, I plan to ask the Guizhou Yamen to allocate land for them. Each person will be granted a hundred acres of land, and they will be exempted from other miscellaneous tasks. In addition, each village soldier is allowed to own For the personal equipment of the township soldiers registered by the government, they are also allowed to purchase war horses through the government if conditions permit."

"In addition, I also plan to set up official prefecture and county schools in Guizhou City and the counties below. The children of the township regiment are eligible to study in official schools."

"Even in the future, prefectures and counties will not enter the selection of miscellaneous officials and other subordinate officials, and these township soldiers will be selected first."

Li Daliang's eyes lit up.

"This is similar to the selection of the imperial court's soldiers? Isn't it also necessary to choose the richest, then the richest, and then the strong?"

"Well, after all, Guizhou is south of Wuling, far away from the Central Plains. The imperial court is now south of the Yangtze River, and basically there are not many military mansions. Even if the imperial court dispatches troops to station in Guizhou in the future, there will not be many. The situation here is complicated. In order to maintain long-term peace and stability, it is impossible to have no real military power."

The Guizhou Tutuan planned by Qin Lang is just like the government soldiers. They have to select those rich and powerful children from Guizhou to fill in. These people are above the middle class in Guizhou, and they have both financial resources and some knowledge. There is also a strong sense of identity, after all, their family is here and their business is at home.

"Gathering and training during slack, practicing battle orders, horns, etc., and practicing bows, arrows and spears at home during normal times."

This kind of soil group is actually similar to the rural soldiers in the north during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The difference is that the rural soldiers in the Northern Dynasties were all private or clan armed forces of the powerful Han people.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of these township soldiers has always been very high, especially if they are only in the territory of the township, their combat effectiveness is stronger.

As long as all the soldiers in Guizhou are replaced with soldiers controlled by the imperial court and the Guizhou Yamen, Guizhou will truly return to the embrace of the imperial court.

As the largest state in Lingnan with more than 50,000 households, Guizhou has a good foundation and is the only state that is basically dominated by Han people like the Central Plains. This is very different from other states in Lingnan. Other states in Lingnan, such as Feng Gaozhou of the Ang family, Qinzhou of the Ning family, and Longzhou of the Chen family, etc., although there are thousands of households registered, but a large number of them are naturalized.

Even in Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, two states firmly controlled by successive imperial courts, the Han people are only dominant, not an absolute majority.

Guizhou has a foundation. Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Xizhi has done a good job of guarding the border and reassuring the people. Guizhou has not been affected too much. The numbers continued unabated.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Qin Lang, the imperial envoy on behalf of Tiannan Tour, now has the qualifications to deal with it with full authority.

There is no need to ask the emperor for everything, you can directly promote who should be promoted, who should be demoted, who should be killed, who should be released, and even if you want to form a local army, you can have the final say.

the next day.

Qin Lang continued to look at the files in Guizhou, but Qin Yong and others had already led people around.

Although Qin Lang didn't make any high-profile publicity, when the situation stabilized, he immediately launched a purge against the Cao Wuzheng Group. Although Cao Wuzheng was an outsider at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he had been in Guizhou for more than ten years, and he had returned with more than 20,000 defeated soldiers. He had been the actual master of Guizhou's army for more than ten years.

An intricate interest group has also been established in Guizhou for a long time. Not only the original military, but also the state government, as well as many powerful people in the state and counties are also closely related.

Many people were directly involved in the chaos this time.

One emperor and one courtier.

The Guizhou local group since the end of the Sui Dynasty still needs to be cleared up, so that it can be truly regarded as belonging to the Tang Dynasty. After Li Xizhi's attachment, the imperial court did not have the energy to really take care of this place, and what should come now still has to come.

Taking advantage of Cao Wuzheng's plan for chaos, some local snakes happened to be cleaned up.

Qin Lang's tooth soldiers quickly dispatched, knocked open the mansions of many Guizhou officials, tycoons, and wealthy businessmen who were still sleeping early in the morning, and started arresting people according to the list.

Chickens fly and dogs jump, ghosts cry and wolves howl everywhere.

Some people even tried to call the family soldiers to resist, but although these people had many servants, how could they be the opponents of Qin Lang's tooth soldiers who came prepared in a hurry?

"Those who dare to resist the law and resist arrest, and those who resist stubbornly, will be killed without mercy!"

A volley of bows and crossbows fired, and those family soldiers who were used to being aggressive were shot down to the ground.

The big shield is in front, the crossbowman is behind the cover, and the spearmen and sword players in armor charge forward and cut down the dissatisfied one by one.

Although the hot weather in Lingnan has affected the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the Central Plains, they still have a crushing advantage in this small fight.

Guizhou governor, Guizhou soldier Cao participated in the military, Guizhou recorder joined the army...

The officials in the Guizhou Yamen were almost wiped out, and only about two levels of civil servants escaped.

Many of these Guizhou officials were originally appointed by the previous dynasty, and most of them were appointed by themselves after the fall of the Sui Dynasty and Guilin's self-protection.

It was considered to have been approved by the imperial court before, but now Qin Lang doesn't care about these things. Anyone who conspired against Cao Wuzheng was even considered to be Li Xizhi before, but after some issues touched on Qin Lang's dissatisfaction, he would It is directly connected to the pot end.

All of these arrested persons were ransacked by Qin Lang, and their clansmen were also implicated.

The property was confiscated and the clansmen were imprisoned.

On that day, more than a thousand people were arrested. Qin Lang specially asked the soldiers to escort them across the street, and at the same time sent people to beat gongs and drums to announce their crimes loudly.

On both sides of the street, countless people gathered to watch. This scene shocked them all.

In the evening of that day, Qin Lang posted an invitation to the rich and wealthy businessmen in Guilin City to a banquet, and none of them dared to attend, and they all came with generous gifts.

Qin Lang asked someone to accept the gift, and then told him to put it in the Guizhou government treasury for public use.

At the banquet, many people were anxious.

Fortunately, Qin Lang arrested a lot of people during the day, and didn't intend to make any big moves at night.

On the contrary, it was served with good wine and good food. After the wine was over, five flavors and three rounds of dishes, he told everyone that he wanted to enlist the local township to serve as an official in the state government. It is necessary to select the brave children of those big and powerful families, and talk about the many benefits after clicking the township group.

The person who was still very disturbed, drank for half a night, and his heart was extremely tormented, but unexpectedly, there was such good news in the end.

Then Qin Lang talked about how those arrested during the day participated in the rebellion and rebellion. Regarding their arrest, few of these people present have any grievances.

Many guys have even started to sing praises for Qin Lang, thinking that those people are black sheep and should be arrested and killed.

the next morning.

Qin Lang pronounced the sentence directly in the Guizhou Yamen.

Quick judgment.

More than a hundred people were convicted of treason and executed.

The others were all given a long sentence by Qin Lang.

Nothing sloppy.

After the sentence was pronounced on this side, the dental soldiers on the other side stepped forward, dragged the prisoners forward one by one, verified their bodies, and then executed them in public.

He chopped off more than a hundred heads in one go, all of them were the most prestigious upper-class people in Guizhou in the past.

The other wealthy and powerful families in Guilin City were surprisingly calm.

Just this morning, most of the families received Qin Lang’s official documents. Almost every family had their heads or children conscripted into the yamen by Qin Lang. He was selected as the team leader, brigade commander, and school lieutenant of the township regiment.

Each family also received a notice of admission to a government school, informing them that their school-age children should go to the government school.

Some people were also selected as teachers of government schools.

Because of this, these people were called to watch the judgment this morning, but none of them complained about their injustice. Although they were in the same city before, they were somewhat related, but at this time, who would Who cares about others?

It is Amitabha who only asks himself to get through it safely.

After the rain, the sun shines.

The noble gentry who "caused the party" were evil and had ulterior motives, and the rebels who conspired to rebel were eradicated, and the barbarians who gathered down the mountain to make trouble not long ago had also been appeased and returned to the mountain one after another.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Lang also asked the state government to issue a notice, announcing that the two tax laws would be officially implemented from now on, and that the people of Guizhou would be able to reduce taxes and be exempted from labor, greatly reducing their burden.

This undoubtedly caused the people of Guizhou to rush to tell each other, praising Qin Xuanxiang for being wise, and praising Chang'an Emperor Shengming!

The township regiment with more than 5,000 people was quickly recruited, and no one dared to resist Qin Lang's call-up order, or in other words, there was no need to resist the call-up order with such good conditions.

Before the big black cow returned to the mountain, he did another thing. He led more than 20,000 mountain men to dredge and repair the Lingqu, which is more than 70 miles long.

The Lingqu, which was blocked and silted up, finally recovered.

Lingqu recovers, and Feng An finally arrives late from Hengyang Shanshan!
