"The gathering and dispersing of the enemy troops is unpredictable and cannot be stationed for a long time. It is better to distribute the military farms to meritorious personnel, but the transaction is prohibited. In this way, if you do not need to attract immigrants, Guizhou will have more household registration and its troops will be sufficient."

"Just like this, the troops should be 50,000, and the annual salary will cost more than 800,000 yuan. The time should be three years, and the bandits can be eliminated."

Fu Zonglong's policy of suppressing the rebellion was very inappropriate. Although the Shean rebels ravaged Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, the generals of the Ming army did not think it would take too long.

This is also the case in history. Every time I plow the yard and sweep the caves and think that I can achieve the best results, it is because I go deep into the west of the water, the terrain is complicated, and I may not continue food or pay, or fail to fall, which will consume manpower and financial resources in vain. It has been delayed for more than ten years before I succeed.

But the emperor agreed and opposed the opposition and fully supported it. He transferred the governor of Sichuan, Zhu Xieyuan, and used Fu Zonglong's full power to quell the rebellion.

As long as the rhythm is stabilized and progresses step by step, the She'an rebels are not worth worrying about, and Shuixi is only a small place and cannot be supported in the long term.

In fact, this is similar to the war in Liaodong. Although Jiannu was rampant, the Ming Dynasty could only stabilize its position and not give Jiannu the opportunity to plunder and grow. It would also cost Jiannu to die.

After all, the size gap is huge, and the harsh natural environment is obvious. Even if Liaodong is given all to Jiannu, they will not be able to be self-sufficient, and famine and economic crisis are enough to defeat Jianlu.

But the Ming Dynasty in history was just the opposite. It was repeatedly defeated by Jiannu in Liaodong, but it had to take the initiative to send it to him and be beaten, and give it to Jiannu food and supplies.

Not only did he denounce it as Jianlu, but the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty did not regard Jiannu as a major concern in their hearts. They always thought that a great victory in one battle would be able to defeat Liao and destroy slaves.

It is this kind of thinking deviation, or fallacy, that repeatedly ruined the elite of the Ming army and gave Jiannu the opportunity to become stronger and stronger as he fought.

Chongzhen was also so stupid that he believed in the nonsense of "Pengling Liao for Five Years".

The emperor did not make such a mistake, and it may not be a time limit. He looked at the long term and thought deeply. The two battles must not only win steadily, but also trained two strong armies in the north and south to lay the foundation for his expansion plan.

It is precisely based on this principle and also because of the imbalance of investment that Liaodong has been pacified, but the rebellion in the southwest is still underway.

Of course, the emperor's goal was also achieved. After changing clothes, training, and training with war instead of training, the Ming army encircled and suppressing the rebels, they were indeed stronger and stronger, and a group of young officers who dared to fight emerged.

Xu Sanshao is one of them. He graduated from martial arts and went to the southwest for a long distance, and after dozens of major and minor battles, he only entered the water to harass him more than a dozen times.

"The ravines and dense mountains and forests are indeed the benefit of the traitors. But judging from the current situation, they can't hold on."

Even so, after returning from harassment again, Xu Hongyu still felt a headache about the complex terrain in Shuixi. However, after blocking and besieging for so long, the rebels were almost exhausted in food and supplies, especially salt, which was even more in short supply.

Xu Rubin was a martial arts Jinshi and an officer who graduated from martial arts. He went to the southwest with Xu Hongyu and fought side by side in recent years, and formed a deep fighting friendship.

Hearing Xu Hongyu's judgment, Xu Rubin agreed and said, "Even if the terrain is complex, we have figured out a lot. When the food and supplies can be fully supplied and transportation can be guaranteed, we will start from all sides and slowly compress. The thief lacks food and salt, so he definitely dares not continue to force himself, and is eager to fight to reverse the situation. This is the time to destroy the thief."

Xu Hongyu nodded in agreement and said with some regret: "It's a pity that we can't suppress the rebellion and destroy the thieves before the Spring Festival and present a gift for the long live."

"Yes!" Xu Rubin felt the same and sighed: "Liaodong has been pacified, but the She'an rebels have not been destroyed. It's really a pity."

After pausing, Xu Rubin found another reason and said, "But it's not our fault. The court's support is biased towards Liaodong!"

"Yes." Xu Hongyu kicked the stone under his feet and said, "But there is nothing we can do. Long live to use all the gold, flowers and silver to quell the rebellion. It is not easy for the court to support the two major battles. Fortunately, Liaodong has been pacified, and the She'an rebels can be destroyed soon."

At this moment, a warning signal was sent out in front of him, and the soldiers quickly concealed, and the speed was amazing.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the surroundings were quiet.

Suddenly, the gunshots broke the tense silence, becoming more and more dense, and there was a rumbling explosion.

Xu Hongyu and Xu Rubin immediately took action separately, one led his men forward to reinforce, and the other led his troops to attack the back.

The battle broke out suddenly, but not fierce. After Xu Hongyu brought his men to reinforce, he quickly solved the enemy he encountered by chance, and quickly left and turned to his own territory.

"Are you all sore shrimp?" Xu Hongyu was not surprised. The trend of our strong enemy and weak enemy has not changed. The lack of food and salt has seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the rebels.

The Yi soldier Shama Buda was already a small banner official and had 20 acres of military farming. With his military salary, the family lived a very prosperous life.

Hehe, listening to the chief's teasing, Shamabuda smiled twice and said, "If you can't eat salt, you will lose energy, you will be dizzy and lazy, and you will be confused."

Xu Hongyu glanced at Shamabuda and patted his shoulder thoughtfully. Without personally experiencing it, he would not know the reaction of salt deficiency. Obviously, Shamabuda had such an experience before.

Shamabuda did not understand the commander's actions, so he pushed the captives and ordered them to leave quickly. He even showed off: "Last time I went home to visit relatives, I bought some salt. But I had two large jars of pickled vegetables at home. My wife said that the salt is not expensive now, so I can save more."

Xu Hongyu smiled and said, "If you have a budget-oriented person at home, you will live a good life. You are blessed! When the five-year service period expires, you will have twenty acres of land and you will be able to live a good life when you go home."

"Go home?" Shamabuda looked surprised and shook his head, "I am already an officer, can I do it until forty?"

After pausing, Shamabuda added: "Didn't the court still recruit Yi people to join the army? I am an Yi people, so I can only speak trustworthy!"

Changing the land and returning to the land is not good for the chieftains, and they can no longer be the hereditary emperor. However, it is beneficial to the ordinary people under the chieftains, and they are like slaves.

Therefore, the emperor specifically told Fu Zonglong to recruit more ethnic minority soldiers and properly resettle ethnic minorities that escaped from the jurisdiction of the Tusi.

When the land is changed and the flow is returned to the current situation, if the chieftain wants to rebel and suppress it, the minority soldiers will play a great role.

At the same time, ethnic minorities separated from the toast can live well, which will attract more ethnic minorities and will also have an impact on the rule of the toast.

Think about it, if there is no one in the chieftain, or the people below refuse to fight for his own interests, he can only pinch his nose and accept the imperial decree. He doesn't have much power to resist.

This policy has not been implemented on a large scale, and the She'an Rebellion has not yet been put down, and the national power has not yet reached its strength, which has forced many chieftains to take risks, which is obviously unwise.
