Chapter 412 Wuchang Uprising(1/2)
Wuchang.
Wuchang Prefecture City.
Huguang Governor's Office.
At this time, the administrative districts of Hongguang controlled areas were slightly adjusted.
Yunyang, Xiangyang, Jingzhou and Chengtian, which were originally under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yunyang, were established as Zhili, while the remaining ones continued to be the jurisdiction of the Huguang Administrative Envoy.
However, Hanyang Prefecture was abolished and Wuchang Prefecture was added.
There was a Hanyang Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, but it was very small. There were only two counties in Hanyang and Hanchuan, and the abolition of one prefecture-level team was reduced.
The entire Huguang is under the jurisdiction of the two governors Huguang and Panyuan, and the power of the governor has been strengthened. At the same time, the original commander commander was abolished.
It was also useless.
The Hongguang Dynasty also abolished military households, after all, everyone understands that military households are useless.
Unless he follows Yang Fengxue to turn military households into militia, the fact that military households have no combat effectiveness will not be changed. But in that case, the emperor Hongguang wants to do it.
However, the original Shituwei was changed to Zhili Prefecture, and in Huguang, where there were chieftain areas, there were also a large number of Shituwei Prefectures established to suppress chieftains. Now they were all changed to Zhili Prefectures, which would allow more and more Jinshi to be officials. The land of the garrison occupied by the hereditary generals in the past was legalized. As for the military households who were ordered by them as serfs, they were of course converted into nationality, and the serfs became tenants. However, because they no longer had to pay food to the garrison and no longer had to assume military obligations, their lives were still somewhat changed.
Besides, there are still some self-cultivated farmers in the military households.
As for the non-State Enceladus, that is, within the jurisdiction of local prefectures and counties, this is enough to be directly abolished, and the original hereditary general was converted into a gentry.
The general must be dissatisfied with...
After all, they still had their salaries in the past.
But it is useless to be dissatisfied. They are already destined to be eliminated. With Xiong Tingbi's new army suppressed, what can these old antiques do?
At most, give them some compensation, such as just to protect their descendants.
In fact, these generals who were not in the Real Enceladus have basically become gentry because they have not had war for two hundred years.
Wuchang Prefecture City is still the governor of Huguang, and it is also the brigade of the Eighth Brigade of the Dingsheng Army. Governor Wu Daonan, a former bachelor of the East Palace, has relatively mediocre talents, but his identity is respected...
They are the second best.
Of course, although everyone thinks that his talent is mediocre, they don’t know that they were originally a cabinet master in history.
Originally, Fang Congzhe's old opponent in history, Governor Wu, one of the two major cabinet masters in the late Wanli period, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter after receiving the urgent report from Wuchang County. You must know that what they fear most was the internal civil rebellion that Yang Feng could take advantage of.
They are actually trying to suppress the cruel exploitation of local gentry.
It's just useless.
In the past, the courts could not control the power of the gentry, let alone the small court at that time was a spokesperson for the gentry.
"Everything is crazy!"
Governor Wu sighed in depression.
"Military Gate, what should be done?"
Mei Zhihuan, the commander of the Eighth Brigade who had just been called in front of him, said.
He is Mei Guozhen's nephew and a believer of Li Zhi. The Dingsheng Army was mainly controlled by these new scholars led by Xiong Tingbi. They were all influenced by Li Zhi's thoughts. The latter still wandered around the Ming Dynasty and was respected by young scholars from all over the country like a national teacher. Although the conservatives hated him so much that they gritted their teeth, they could not stop the young people from bowing to his forum.
The huge changes in the Hongguang Dynasty over the years are largely because the younger generation who respect Li Zhi gradually became the core of various places.
After all, his thoughts impacted the rigid Confucian system.
The huge change is eager for more free thoughts, so he is of course popular in this situation. In the past, he originally taught mainly in Huguang. It can be said that this place was also the most influenced by his thoughts in the past. Similarly, after these young scholars took power, the changes brought to various places were obvious. If the conservatives in the past did resist stubbornly, but now there is a direct threat from Yang Feng.
The old school is just a solidified mind, but it is not a fool.
If you don't change, you will die.
No matter how these young scholars change, they are still rotten in the pot and are still their own people after all.
But if we continue everything in the past, then Yang Feng should come to the door to bleed them one by one. Since that's the case, just watch them silently torture them.
"How to deal with it, naturally, suppress it quickly. This kind of thing is like wildfire. As long as there is a flame, it must be extinguished as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a prairie fire. You can immediately lead troops to Wuchang. If you get there, don't have any worries. Kill whatever you need. In addition, arrest Yang He, borrow his head if necessary, and he must be at a reasonable level to make money. Now that this kind of thing happens, I will transfer a batch of grain and then rush there. After you arrive, let Huangzhou Prefecture take out the grain to provide disaster relief.
There is no disaster and disaster relief.
Keep Huangzhou Prefecture first and don’t follow the chaos.”
Governor Wu said.
Mei Zhihuan looked at Governor Wu with some surprise. It was obvious that Governor Wu was not as mediocre as the legendary talent!
This is very sophisticated.
"Go quickly, remember, don't be afraid of killing people. At least one thousand heads must be cut down. The unruly people must suppress them. They will be brave enough to talk about something else."
Governor Wu said.
Mei Zhihuan quickly got up and left.
"Oh, I'm increasingly unable to understand this world!"
Governor Wu continued to be depressed.
However……
The Eighth Brigade directly belongs to the Heavy Artillery Battalion.
"real?"
The team leader Zhang Pu looked at the team leader Liu Feng in surprise...
After he was released from Ying Tian, he originally went to Nanchang with his companions to go back to Changsha directly, but he was intercepted in Nanchang and was reorganized into the Dingsheng Army. Over the years, he has become a small officer with his own efforts, but the gang leader is his limit of no backstage. The Dingsheng Army is transformed into the Hunan Army. Except for the technical armies directly under the brigade headquarters, the other infantry battalions are all gentry-clans, but even with this technical armies, the officers are all confidants of the brigade commander.
Even if an ordinary soldier has talent, he will never truly become a middle- and senior officer unless he is particularly appreciated by the brigade commanders or even taken as a slave.
The team leader was at the top.
"There is no falsehood. Commander Mei has been called to the governor's yamen. I stopped the yamen runner who delivered the letter and asked.
The Prime Minister has arrived in Wuchang County.
Moreover, he had already led the people of Wuchang County to rise up. At this time, the entire Wuchang County was taken down and it was probably already attacking Huangzhou Prefecture."
Liu Feng said.
He was the mate commander of the Engineering Battalion, and his headquarters was the brigade headquarters. He also participated in the Battle of Yingtian and was captured and released.
"This is indeed the style of the prime minister!"
Zhang Pu said.
Indeed, Yang Dashuai likes doing this!
And as long as Marshal Yang does this, it means that he will truly solve the problem of Hongguang Dynasty.
"What should we do?"
Liu Feng said.
"Governor Wu will definitely send troops to reinforce. The closest one is us. At that time, we will turn against each other and bring our brothers to welcome the prime minister. We have been waiting here for many years. Finally, we have waited for this moment. Let's contact other brothers separately and tell them the good news."
Zhang Pu said.
They have been developing in the army over the years. At this time, the Eighth Brigade directly belonged to each battalion, and at least half of the gang leader was their comrades. They even secretly formed an alliance and then each developed soldiers in the army. Although their practices were also noticed by Mei Zhihuan, Mei Zhihuan never thought that they were rebelling. Such gang formations in the army are commonplace, and these low-level officers are trusted by soldiers. Mei Zhihuan often gives them some benefits to use them to drive soldiers' training.
On the contrary, his clan confidants relied on their identity to do whatever they wanted and were all scattered, and they were useless except loyalty.
This is the embarrassment of the transition period of feudal army to modern army.
For generals, those who are loyal under their command are incompetent, and those who are capable will not be loyal. If you want to maintain control of the army, you can only use loyal ones, but the result will lead to betrayal of capable people.
Use capable ones...
My Qing Dynasty said that I was so ruined.
"That's good!"
Liu Feng said.
But at this moment, there was a slight noise outside.
Zhang Pu rushed to the window without hesitation. The window that was already half-closed was suddenly opened. An officer outside was turning around. Zhang Pu hit him directly. The officer screamed and fell down, but rolled on the ground, then pulled out his sword and stabbed towards Zhang Pu. Zhang Pu immediately avoided. The officer took the opportunity to stand up and stood there with the knife in his arms and looked at them...
"Okay, there are still two rebels hidden here. I can be considered to have caught them today."
He said with a grim smile.
Zhang Pu and the other looked at each other.
"Captain Mei, don't slander people out of thin air. How dare you rebel? You must have real evidence. You can't deliberately frame and retaliate just because the young man has offended you."
Liu Feng said with a smile behind the window.
"I still dare to argue, as I heard it with my own ears, do you think the commander believes in you or me?"
The officer said.
"Brother Li, come here!"
Zhang Pu suddenly shouted.
To be continued...
