"Haha, although the Fifth Division and the Seven Surnames are at odds with Yang Yinglong, and they are on the side of the imperial court in countering the rebellion, weren't they the ones who asked the imperial court to send exiled officials to govern Bozhou in the first place? Why, now that Yang Yinglong has fallen, they are again

Want to stand up?"

Hearing Zhu Zhengse mention the people with the fifth surname and the seventh surname, Wang Bing couldn't help but smile coldly, and the murderous aura in his eyes instantly surged out.

Speaking of which, although on the surface it seemed that it was the Chief Secretary of Guizhou who previously requested the imperial court to implement the transfer of officials in Bozhou, in fact, people with five surnames and seven surnames have also been active promoters of this matter.

"They have no intention of taking the opportunity to 'stand up'. After all, Yang Yinglong, the biggest chieftain in Banzhou, has fallen, so they still have some discernment."

Seeing Wang Bing's murderous look at that moment, Zhu Zhengse couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's just that after all, Bozhou has been decided for the first time. The imperial court is not familiar with the people and places here. If they want to govern Bozhou well, they have to rely on the help of these five divisions and seven surnames!"

At the end, Zhu Zhengse added helplessly.

In fact, in the original history, after Bozhou was pacified, although Bozhou abolished the chieftain system, in order to quickly stabilize Bozhou, the imperial court still arranged and appointed people with five surnames and seven surnames as "local officials".

The so-called "local official" is still the same as the chieftain. After the father dies, the son succeeds, and the elder brother succeeds the younger brother. Although he still has the name of chieftain on the surface, he has no actual status of chieftain. Instead, he is used to weaken Bozhou in Wang Bing's plan.

The methods of foreign chieftains are somewhat similar.

But this time, Wang Bing did not intend to continue to implement the native official system, at least not entirely according to the original historical method.

"Then what does Lord Zhu think we should do?"

Originally it was Zhu Zhengse who was consulting Wang Bing on how to arrange the people of the Five Divisions and Seven Surnames, but now it was Wang Bing who asked him about his attitude.

"Xiaoguan thought that we could allow these people from the five divisions and seven surnames to participate in the governance of Bozhou. Grant them the position of hereditary native officials and assist the officials sent by the imperial court to govern Bozhou. After all, they have no soldiers now, so they can

I won’t worry…”

Upon hearing Wupingzhou's inquiry, Zhu Zhengse also frankly expressed his thoughts.

In fact, what is different from the original history is that this time, taking advantage of the opportunity to annihilate Yang Yinglong, the three armies of Qi Zhenzong, Qi Xianzong and Li Fu directly recruited all the local soldiers from the five divisions and seven surnames.

And unlike the Baigan soldiers, Youyang soldiers and Shuixixi native soldiers, Wu Bing has no intention of returning these native soldiers of the Five Divisions and Seven Surnames.

Therefore, now the small and medium-sized chieftains of the fifth and seventh surnames are basically just polished commanders.

"It's not impossible to grant them official positions, but it's not necessary to make them hereditary! The titles of our Ming Dynasty are all those that have to be removed after three generations without military merit. Why are a few small local snakes special?"

Wang Bing agreed to Zhu Zhengse's suggestion of appointing people with five surnames and seven surnames as officials, but Wang Bing directly rejected the hereditary method.

"You tell the people of the Five Divisions and Seven Surnames that because of their meritorious service in helping to suppress the rebellion, the imperial court will grant them the honor of holding office for three generations. After three generations, if they want to continue serving as officials, they must rely on their own true ability, whether it is

It doesn’t matter whether you take the imperial examination or take the imperial examination due to meritorious deeds!”

However, considering the actual situation in Bozhou, Wang Bing did not punish the people of the five divisions and seven surnames. Instead, he gave them a buffer period for three generations to inherit the title based on the example of imperial title inheritance.

"However, the official positions held by the people of these five divisions and seven surnames can only be assistant officials, and the main positions must be held by officials sent by the imperial court!"

However, although taking into account the actual situation in Bozhou, he was given a buffer for three generations to ascend to the post, but in the end Wang Bing added a restriction that these local officials could only serve as assistants.

It can be said that compared with the treatment of these people by the imperial court in the original history, it is not even a little bit worse. But there is no way, who can say that the situation is stronger than the people? The Wanli Dynasty in this time and space is not the riddled with holes in the original history.

The Wanli Dynasty can be compared.

Under Wang Bing's 'meddling', both the country's economic strength and military strength far exceeded the Wanli Dynasty in original history.

Therefore, when people from Bozhou are treated with five divisions and seven surnames, they will naturally not be as generous as in the original history.

And speaking of it, the people of the five divisions and seven surnames of Bozhou were originally Han people who were converted into barbarians. Now it is not too much to let them return to the original Han bureaucracy, right?

What's more, the people with the highest degree of Chineseization in Bozhou are the people of these five divisions and seven surnames. The previous proposal for the imperial court to send exiled officials to govern Bozhou was mainly the scholars among these five divisions and seven surnames.

Therefore, Wang Bing's 'discounted' local official system, which only allowed him to serve for three generations, actually did not have much impact on these people.

"Well, the treatment given to them as local officials for three generations is about the same. It has been such a long time for the court to become familiar with Bozhou!"

The so-called gentleman's virtue is to be killed after three generations. Zhu Zhengse quite agreed with Wang Bing's approach of abolishing the hereditary system.

"Master Zhu, I will leave this matter of negotiating with the people of the Five Divisions and Seven Surnames to you. Once the officials sent by the imperial court arrive, the three prefectures and twelve counties of Bozhou, Tongzi, Zunyi, and Pingyue will be officially operational.

.”

After determining the arrangement of the five divisions and seven surnames, Wang Bing immediately handed it over to Zhu Zhengse, the broadcaster's "big magistrate", to handle it.

But he himself turned his attention to Shuixi'an clan and Shuidong Song clan, which were close to the chieftains of Bozhou.

After all, the two chieftains were on the edge of Bozhou, so it was only logical that the reform of the entire southwest began with them.

However, before he could take any action, as Qi Zhenzong, Zhang Weiming and other Beijing troops whom he had sent out to 'strike hard' began to return one after another, another thorny problem was placed in front of him, making him unable to do anything.

I won’t let the matter of these two toasts go for the time being.

…

"Lao San, now the people in the entire Bozhou are only 30 to 40% of the original number at most. Too many people have fled, and it is a pity that so many fields are left uncultivated..."

"Oh? Although our response to the rebellion this time was a bit stricter, we did not harass ordinary people at all. Why did so many of them escape?"

Wang Bing couldn't help but frown when he heard that so many people in Bozhou had fled at once.

You know, there is land but no one there. Isn’t that a waste of such a precious land?

In fact, what he didn't know was that it was good to have 30% to 40% of the people staying. In the original history, after the Battle of Pingbo, only one-tenth or two-tenths of the old people in Bozhou remained. Compared to now

But it's much worse.
