(Thank you to book friend "Three, XX" for three monthly tickets!)

Zhu Hongsan was very happy to see these Yi people destroying each other here. However, no matter how happy it is, the matter still needs to be done.

Zhu Hongsan sighed and said to Lu Yinglong: "Hey, brother-in-law, if you brought troops to help me two months ago, I might have spared you. It's too late to say anything now!"

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, listen to me..."

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand regardless of how Lu Yinglong begged for mercy. The Jinyiwei behind him pulled the chieftains out and chopped his head and presented it.

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said, "Pick that Lu and An Kun's head with lime, take it back for Lu to see, throw the rest into the river!"

At this time, on the bank of Guancheng River outside Anshun City, the Yi soldiers who put down their weapons and surrendered were gathered together. Li Chengdong and his men began to carry out a planned massacre of these people.

The Yi people originally thought that these Ming troops, like the previous Ming troops, could go home to farm as long as they put down their weapons, but they did not expect that the Ming army could attack the unarmed ones.

"Dear brothers, the Han people are going to kill us all, let's fight!"

Under the leadership of several leaders, less than 30,000 Yi people rushed towards the Ming army with bare hands. However, they had been traveling through the mountains for more than a month and their physical strength had been overdrawn. There was Li Chengdong's opponent.

In just two hours, 30,000 young Yi people were massacred outside Anshun City by the Ming army led by Zhu Hongsan.

The governor of Anshun Prefecture was Zhang Jie, a local official. In April of the 11th year of Zhizheng of Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, the court established four prefectures and counties on Puding Road. Anshun Prefecture was one of them, and its capital was located in today's Anshun Prefecture, and its native chief was used as the Tongzhi of Tuzhou. This was the first time in history that Anshun became the territory of the central dynasty. In the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Fu Youde went to Yunnan and Guizhou. When he arrived in Anshun Prefecture, Zhang Awo led his people to surrender. In the 18th year of Hongwu, the court appointed Zhang Awo as the governor of Anshun Prefecture.

The Zhang family was actually a Han Chinese. Its ancestors can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods at the reciprocity of the Tang and Song dynasties. In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty, the southern Chu expanded westwardly and along the Qingshui River, the power deepened into the Duyun area in Qiannan, and that was to establish Nanning Prefecture here. Later, King Ma Xifan of Chu appointed Long Deshou as the Great General of Huaiyuan, wore a tiger talisman, and led the "eight soldiers" of Liuzhou and Yongzhou to continue westward, reaching the Huishui and Changshun, and entering the Anshun Prefecture area.

After quelling the chaos, in order to ensure that the Chu State's power was in Changzhi in southern Qiannan, the King of Chu left the "Eight-Classic Soldiers" to guard, namely Long, Wen, Shi, Cheng, Wei, Hong, Lu, Zhang and other eight surnames. The territory granted to the Zhang surname was in the area of ​​Anshunzhou. After the Southern Chu was destroyed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, the "Eight-Classic Soldiers" lost the support of the national system and could not return to their homeland, so they formed a unified and formed a separatist regime.

However, the Zhang family has lived in Guizhou for hundreds of years and has long become a native of Guizhou. The Zhang family's contemporary family believed that Zhang Jie was just a new emperor, and just like before, he could just continue to offer sacrifices. However, when he saw 30,000 Yi people outside the city were killed, Zhang Jie was really frightened by the new emperor.

Zhang Jie went out of the city to pay trembling fear to meet the new emperor. When he passed Guanchenghe, he saw Manhe's body so scared that he was trembling all over. When he came to Zhu Hongsan, he did not dare to look up. He knelt down and said to Emperor Long live.

Zhu Hongsan saw the middle-aged man in his forties in front of him and asked, "Are you Zhang Jie, the governor of Anshun Prefecture?"

"Go back to your Majesty, it's the minister!"

"Okay, I heard that your Zhang family is from Han, and now you are willing to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?"

Zhang Jie heard the emperor's intention of preparing to change the land and return to the country. The Zhang family had been a local emperor in Anshun for hundreds of years. Of course, they did not want to do as the emperor wanted. However, the situation is stronger than the people now. There are nearly 100,000 Ming troops outside the city, and the total population of Anshun City is less than 50,000. If he says no, the head will immediately land.

Zhang Jie's head turned rapidly, thinking that he might as well agree first and wait until the emperor left before talking. Anyway, the chieftains in Guizhou are not their own family, so let's talk about other families.

Zhang Jie made up his mind and kowtowed and said, "Yes, I obey the order!"

Zhang Jie underestimated this Emperor Shenwu. Who is Zhu Hongsan? He lived in his previous life and this life for nearly seventy years. What kind of relationships do you don’t understand? Zhang Jie made a small calculation and Zhu Hongsan’s three-men Qing.

"Okay! It's rare that Zhang Zhizhou is so reasonable. I will give you a task and take your local soldiers to kill all the non-Han people in the city!"

There are less than 50,000 people in Anshun City, and the Han people account for the majority, but there are nearly 20,000 ethnic groups such as Yi, Miao, and Zhuang. Will they all be killed?

"Your Majesty, kill them all?" Zhang Jie thought that the emperor had tested his loyalty, but he didn't expect that Zhu Hongsan wanted to kill all the natives in Guizhou and then migrate from the Central Plains to live in Han people.

Seeing Zhang Jie hesitating, Zhu Hongsan asked gloomyly: "What? Zhang Tusi, do you want to resist the order?"

Zhang Jie saw that the emperor had changed his name to him, and the Jinyiwei behind the emperor held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and as long as the emperor gave an order, he would chop his head.

Zhang Jie had no choice but to kowtow and said, "I obey the order!"

"Okay! Li Chengdong, leave the matter outside the city to Jin Daoming. You bring 20,000 people into the city and kill all the non-Han people!"

Li Chengdong bowed to the order and took Zhang Jie, who was shaking into a ball, to start massacre of the city.

At this time, Hou Fangyu beside Zhu Hongsan couldn't help it. If it was reasonable to massacre soldiers just now, massacre of ordinary soldiers is really beyond Hou Fangyu's moral bottom line.

Hou Fangyu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the people in the city are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not oppose Your Majesty, why do you still want to massacre the city?"

Seeing Hou Fangyu stand up again to oppose him, Zhu Hongsan was very unhappy, but as his eldest secretary, he still had to explain it to him.

"Chaozong, I ask you, your hometown is in Henan, right?"

"Yes, my hometown is Guide, Henan!"

"Okay, I ask you why Henan and the northern provinces are in such chaos? And since ancient times, why does the Supreme People's Republic of China have a chaotic world every few hundred years?"

This question has exceeded Hou Fangyu's perception. If it were his father Hou Xun, it would be possible to answer it, but Hou Fangyu does not have that knowledge yet.

Hou Fangyu thought for a long time and said, "It should be that there are treacherous ministers in the court, and the emperor does not cultivate himself!"

"Wrong! Chaozong, think about it, Henan is a province with a large population in the Central Plains. One province has tens of millions of people, but how much is arable land? A mu of land can only produce 200 kilograms of wheat? It is not enough to feed the entire province, and all grains must be adjusted from the provinces in Jiangnan. This is still a common year. If there is a waste year and the road is difficult to move, the people cannot have enough food, what do you think they can do?"

This is the first time Hou Fangyu has heard of this strange theory, but Hou Fangyu is a family heirloom of farming and reading. Even those who can produce 200 kilograms of wheat in this era are included in the fields, and most of the output is about 150 or 60 kilograms.

"Your Majesty, but does this have anything to do with the massacre of the city in Guizhou?"

"Of course it's related. These natives occupied a large amount of land. If they didn't kill them all, how could they migrate to the Han people to farm? If the Han people in the Central Plains did not move, would they come to another chaotic world in hundreds of years?"

Hou Fangyu dare not accept this. Hou Fangyu, do you hope that the dynasty that the emperor had just established will perish in a few hundred years?

Seeing Hou Fangyu not speaking, Zhu Hongsan thought he had convinced him and couldn't help but feel very proud. In fact, there are many ways to solve the increase in population in the Central Plains. raising the unit per mu of grain is a road, and reclaiming wasteland is also a road. Although the population was over 100 million in the Ming Dynasty, there were still large areas of wasteland available. However, Zhu Hongsan dealt with ethnic minorities in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Han ethnic groups entrenched in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi had no sense of identity, did not pay taxes, and did not obey corvee, and completely became local warlords independent of the central government. This really made Zhu Hongsan, who was used to the big government, intolerable.

Zhu Hongsan came from later generations and was also a person within the system, so Zhu Hongsan admired the direct control of the central government over the local government in later generations. Every grain of grain and every strong country must know in detail. Because of this, Zhu Hongsan could not allow such a large place to be out of his own rule, so he had to take heavy measures to deal with these ethnic minorities who had lived in Yunnan and Guizhou for more than two thousand years.

The 50,000 people led by Li Chengdong were originally Jin Shenghuan's subordinates back then. These guys were very good at massacres. After entering Anshun City, they immediately surrounded the Yi people's gathering area and began to massacre them into more than ten small areas. The Han people in Guizhou were already tense in their relationship. After seeing the attack on the Yi people, the Han people in the city spontaneously organized a team to clean up the Yi people and Miao people around them. For a time, the entire Anshun City was like hell on earth.

Three days later, the Yi people in the city were massacred, and Zhu Hongsan appointed the new Anshun Prefecture, and then asked Li Chengdong to lead the team to clean up several southern Qianxi areas such as Pudingwei, Yongning Prefecture, Annan Prefecture, Pu'an Prefecture and other Qianxi areas. He brought the troops of three divisions back to Guiyang and began to implement the policy of clearing the township and garrisoning set by Zhu Hongsan himself.

Zhu Hongsan was in charge of Guiyang and ordered his three divisions to disperse in battalions, and to form a return group organized by the Han people, and gradually clean up the Shuixi forces along Longchang Post.

From the official defeat of the main force of the Shuixi Allied Forces on the 10th day of the third year of Shenwu to the end of the large-scale bandit suppression at the end of the fifth year of Shenwu, Zhu Hongsan's Guangdong New Army burned down a total of 13,000 Yi people, filled tens of thousands of water wells, and killed 560,000 resisting Yi people and Miao people. The four prefectures of Pingyue, Qianxi, Weining and Dading were established in the original Shuixi area. At the same time, the Bozhou Xuanwei Office, which was originally belonged to Sichuan, was changed to Zunyi Prefecture, and was placed under the jurisdiction of the Guizhou Provincial Administration. At this point, the Yi separatist group that had been entrenched in the Yunnan-Guizhou area since the Qin and Han Dynasties ended completely, and the entire Guizhou officially became an inland province with the Han people occupying the majority.

Zhu Hongsan's southwest strategy lasted for three years. In the past two years, in addition to the more than 500,000 deaths from Yi people, many Han people in Yunnan and Guizhou were also killed and injured. However, in the "Record of the Saint Ancestor" compiled after Zhu Hongsan's death, it was written that the Saint Ancestor was powerful and submissive. The people of the Han, Yi, Miao, Hui and other ethnic groups in Yunnan and Guizhou were all happy to welcome the king's army, and there was no war in the southwest!
