Chapter 2 Shun Sheng Lu 1 Bie Lu 1-2

the eighth day of May in the twelfth lunar month According to Hu Liancheng, Fujian’s procuratorate, who is in charge of military preparations and patrolling the southern Zhangdao, said: “Ai Hong, the manager of military affairs, and Chen Ce, the deputy envoy, Tang Ze, and the generals all commanded the affairs of Li Yin and the governor. According to reports from Hetou sentry committee commander Xu Qi, county magistrate Shi Xiang, and magistrate Zeng Yao, more than 5,000 troops led by various ranks entered Changfu Village and other places. On the 18th day of the first lunar month in the twelfth year of Zhengde, the roads were set up in ambushes, and the situation was very rampant. On the 18th day of the first month of the 12th year of Zhengde, they confronted the bandits from Changfu Village to Kuozhuyang, Xinyang, Dafeng, Wulei, and Daxiaofeng. There were several battles before and after, and Huang Ye and others were captured and beheaded. A total of 432 thieves were captured, 146 thieves were captured, more than 400 houses were burned, and horses and cattle were captured. Kill the old man Xu Liu, the thug Huang Fulin and other six. The rest of the thieves all went to Xianghu Mountain to refuse to defend, and the officers and soldiers of all positions chased to the Lianhua Stone to fight with the thieves. Sincerely afraid that the thieves are outnumbered, I begged for more troops to support them, etc. Because of going to the Tao. According to the report of Gao Wei, the commander of the Daxi sentry, the commander of the army dated the officers and soldiers of Lianhuashi to attack Xianghu Mountain. It happened that the commander of the Guangdong Committee, Wang Chun, and others led the troops to Dasan. Cheng Jiyong led the troops to the meeting to suppress them. Unexpectedly, the big umbrella bandits stood out, and the low-ranking officers fought bravely. Qin Huan and Ji Yongma were trapped in deep mud, and seven soldiers including Yi Cheng and eight soldiers including Li Chongjing were all arrested. The bandit was injured and died, and his lowly position was also shot twice. It was difficult to beat the enemy, so he had to withdraw his troops and wait for a while. The Xianghu Mountains are extremely dangerous, and the officers and soldiers cannot attack them. Today, the bandits are getting stronger. Soldiers, wait until autumn and winter to launch a double attack, for fear of other changes. Tongxing submits the report, and continues to serve the cards of the court. For the strategy of advancing the army, prepare for various positions to follow the secret order, pretend to reward the troops and leave the army, and do it again in the autumn. Close the troops and rein in the troops, take advantage of the slack and fight hard. According to Mengmi, the righteous officer Zeng Chongxiu's claws were sent to explore the truth, and when the thieves were slack, they would choose 1,500 elite soldiers to lead, and 4,200 heavy soldiers to follow, divided into three groups. Road. Commanders of all ranks headed straight on the night of February 19th, marched in three directions, and went straight to Xianghu Mountain to seize its pass. Although all the thieves were out of danger, the thieves and disciples among them were all brave and capable, and they were still able to overcome the moat. The valley leaps like flying. Recovering the upper level is steep and dangerous, flying in all directions to fight against the enemy. Our soldiers fought bravely. From Chen to noon, the voice shook the sky and shook the valley. The surprise soldiers sent by the third division, Back from the middle way, the thieves were shocked and defeated. Our soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill, and captured and beheaded the leaders of the thieves, Huang Maoli, You Si, and the leaders of the Guangdong thieves, Xiao Xidi and Guo Hu. The captured thieves belonged to 133 people; during the period, the dead who fell off the cliff and fell into the ditch were innumerable. They took back water cattle, stolen silver, guns and knives, and burned more than 500 houses. The rest of the thieves broke up and returned to Liuen Mountain and other nests , joined forces with the thieves, and was also killed by the thieves. The leader Lai Yi, the thug Yang Yuan, etc. 14 people. The next morning, each post was divided into troops to pursue and suppress. Commander Gao Wei and Tuiguan Hu Ningdao were also led by Dafeng. Still engaged in a battle with the former thieves, captured and beheaded one hundred and sixty-three of the thieves including Wu Jiewang, and captured 160 thieves. The mountain is over." According to the commanders of the Jinfeng Third Regiment, Wang Kai, Li Cheng, and the general judge Gong Zhen, etc., said: "Zhan Shifu, the leader of the bandits, lives in the Ketangdong cottage, gathers food and guards the danger, and is very strong. According to the conference, the various positions divided the troops into five groups, attacked for days,Captured the leader of the big thieves, Zhan Shifu, Jiang Song, Fan Keqi, Luo Zhaoxian, etc., the rest of the thieves were defeated and returned to Zhuzi Cave and other places where the mountains screamed and gathered.Then he divided his troops to pursue and fight with the thieves. He captured the first follower of the thieves, Fan Xingchang, with 235 pieces, captured 82 of the thieves, captured 5 of the arrested men and women, and captured horses and cattle.The thieves also killed an old man, Hu Wenzheng, and wounded five other villagers, including Ye Yongwang. "According to the commander Xu Qi and others, it was stated: "Huangwa River, Shangxiazhang River, Raoping County of Guangdong Province and Yongding County of this Province are connected by mountain boundaries.According to the appointment, Guangdong officers and soldiers, together with Jinfeng sentry commander Wei Jian, Daxi sentry officer Hu Ningdao, etc., dispatched troops on March 21st. They all arrived at Huangwa; the fourth leader of Guangdong Yimin Rao also arrived; , Three-way attack.The thieves came out and refused to fight very sharply; our soldiers marched forward bravely and loudly, captured and beheaded 91 of the thieves including Wen Zongfu, captured 13 of the thieves, and the rest of the thieves were defeated.The soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue to Chishiyan, and they still fought for a long time, and the bandits were defeated again. They also captured and beheaded one hundred and forty-six of the bandits, including You Zongcheng, and captured ninety of the bandits. "According to Zhang Yue, commander of the Central Battalion Committee, Lu Xiliang of Baihu, etc., said: "Lead the troops to chase after the fugitives at Huangwaxi and other places. There were sixty-six pieces, and the captured thieves belonged to eight mouths. " Each of them submitted another report to Dao. In addition to the examination and record merits, Zhong Xiang, the prefect of the commissioner, continued to report: "The officers and soldiers transferred by the Mongolian army broke through more than 30 lairs in Changfu Village and other places within two months, and captured and beheaded them. There were more than 1,420 thieves, more than 570 thieves were captured, five captive men and women were recaptured, more than 2,000 houses were burned, and cattle and horses were seized.That is to say, he is now intimidated by the remaining party, and he is willing to bring his family to the government to vote and listen to the arrangement.In accordance with the Ministry of War's survey and investigation and the merger of the Governor's Procuratorate and the case board, a notice was issued, and the county magistrate Shi Xiang and the county magistrate Yudao recruited 1,235 thieves Zhu Zongyu and Weng Jinglin, who had two family members. Thousands of eight hundred and twenty-eight people, all of whom have been verified and placed for resumption of business. "The reason was reported to the Dao and forwarded to the minister. According to the Guangdong Provincial Inspection Division's division of patrolling Dongdao soldiers and other officials, Gu Yingxiang and others will submit: "According to the case of this court, appoint officials to lead the army and advance together with Fujian Keji Suppress.According to the strategy of the academy's army march, he immediately followed Yiyi's threatening squadron, while taking no surprises, he was divided into three sentries from Niupishi and Lingjiao pass, and marched side by side with clamor.The thief was overwhelmed, and the wind collapsed.According to reports from the commanders Yang Ang, Wang Chun, general judge Xu Ji, Chen Ce, Yiguan Yu Huangmeng, etc., on the 24th day of the first lunar month of this year, the ancient villages, Weijiao, Hecun, Dashuishan, and Dashuishan were conquered. Zhelin and other nests captured the big thieves first Zhang Dabei, Liu Wuzui, Xiao Qianyao, Fan Duan, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wuxian, Ji Zhao, Su Rong, Lai Long, etc., and captured the beheaded followers.Take advantage of the victory and advance together with the Fujian government and army to attack in a short period of time.When we found out that the big umbrella thieves broke through and killed Commander Qin Xiang and County Prime Minister Ji Yong, they immediately marched in to respond.The thieves were afraid of our military power, burning their nests and running away.The leader of the thief, Luo Shengqin, was captured alive, and the rest of the thieves retreated into the Dazhai with arrows to join forces, taking advantage of the danger and resisting the enemy with all their strength.Zhang Jian, the magistrate of the Mongolian Wei County, commanded Zhang Tianjie to divide the post, marched in from other roads, broke through Baitu Village, Chikouyan and other nests, and directly poured arrows into Dazhai.The thieves fought, our soldiers fought bravely together, and then poured arrows.At that time, a total of 224 heads of thieves were beheaded, and 84 thieves were captured, as well as stolen cattle and horses.The thieves in each village ran away upon hearing the wind, dispersed and reunited, and became more connected;The troops of all ranks divided up and marched together. On March 20th and other days, they broke through the nests of Shuizhu, Dazhongkeng, Kuzhaixi, Jingquanxi, Bailuo, Nanshan, etc., and went straight to Yangzhudong, Sanjiao Lake, etc., and fought back and forth. For more than ten years, the heads of the thieves, Wen Huoshao, Zhang Dabei, Lei Zhen, Cai Sheng, Lai Ying, etc. were captured alive, and a total of 1,480 thieves were captured, and 838 of the thieves were captured. Cattle, stolen silver, copper coins, clothing and silk, utensils and spears, banana yarn and other things.A total of 14 of the first thieves were captured alive.Captured and beheaded 1,258 thieves, captured 922 thieves, captured 139 water-yellow cattle and horses, and captured 2,150 stolen clothes and cloth. Seventeen pieces, ninety-six catties and one tael of Gejiao yarn, thirty-two taels, four and eight cents of stolen silver, and one hundred and forty-two copper coins were all reported to the court for trial. "The reason for the report came, and the file investigation was first to report the thief's situation urgently, and the Ministry of Military Affairs consulted. The title of this department: "The censor Chen Jin and the censor Hu Wenjing of the yamen of Fujian and Guangdong general towns have been drawn in the meeting area. The guards and other officials obeyed. "Prepare food and salaries, mobilize troops, and make appointments to advance and suppress. The minister arrived in Ganzhou on the 16th of the first month of this year to act. First, he was in Nanchang on the 3rd of this month, according to reports from the officials of the two provinces. The division period is different. The body is wrong, and I am afraid that they will push each other and cause the military plan to be missed. The minister is prepared to follow the advice of the ministry, and has a strategy for advancing troops. He hopes that all officials will cooperate closely and implement it closely. After that, continue according to Fujian Youshenzheng and other officials. Hong et al. submitted: "Commander Qin Huan and county magistrate Ji Yong were overthrown by big umbrella thieves, and their horses got stuck in deep mud and were wounded to death. "And according to the reports of the sentries: "The thief's village is dangerous, and the weather is getting warmer; our soldiers have been defeated, and the bandits are getting worse; begging for more wolf soldiers, we will do it again in autumn." "Be prepared to submit to the minister, and see that all the officials stopped their troops and did not advance, which caused this defeat. It is obvious that they are not restrained, so they violate the strategy. And adjust the wolf soldiers according to the tune, not only because the time is long and the road is far away, it is too late, and it is also fearful. Don't worry about the financial expenses of teachers and elders. And victory or defeat depends on the people, and soldiers are valuable. When this setback occurs, all officials should work together in anger and struggle together. Because of defeat and victory, how can they always retreat and hinder themselves, relying on mobilizing wolf soldiers, and sitting on the ground? Opportunity? The minister set off from Ganzhou on the same day, and personally led the army to enter Changting, Shanghang, etc. On the one hand, he ordered all the officials to follow the strategy secretly, to advance quickly, to make meritorious deeds and to redeem himself, and to dare to make inferences, to be punished by military law; While investigating the cause of the accident, I will participate in the play room separately. According to the records, the ministers will report to the ministers, referring to the Fujian and Guangxi bandit chiefs Zhan Shifu, Wen Huoshao, etc., who have been rebellious for ten years. If you want to jump the beam, the snakes and hogs will gradually have no discipline; but they plagiarized and burned, and several counties were poisoned by them; when they were transferred and recruited, the three provinces were in an uproar. The ministers and others pursued the suppression, and within three months, they conquered and captured the chief of the canal; Sweeping the lair, the people relieved the suffering of the upside down, and the counties were reborn in peace. This is not the mighty virtue of the imperial court, but the temples are counted. Able to make concerted efforts to conspire, and generally win the victory; although there are merits, there are also many merits. During the period, Fujian Ruqian served Hu Lian, participated in politics, Chen Ce, Deputy Envoy Tang Ze, prefect Zhong Xiang, and Guangdong Ruqian Gu Yingxiang all commanded him He served Yang Mao and the county magistrate Zhang Jian, both of whom were excellent in talent and talent, and especially written by Lao Xun. Fu Qi bowed down to the code of emphasizing, in order to make a style of fighting bravely. Except for keeping the soldiers of the two provinces in defense, the rest were ordered to return to agriculture. In addition to reporting the merits separately, it was originally a matter of Jieyin, so there is an inscription for this.

the eighth day of May in the twelfth lunar month According to Yang Zhangcheng, the deputy envoy of the Jiangxi Inspection Department to organize the military preparations and patrol the north of the Lingling Road: "Fu see the "Military Mistakes" article in the "Da Ming Law": "The leader of the army has been dispatched. Those who violated the limit by reporting the military schedule, and thus missed the military plane, will be executed.''The army violated the deadline' article: 'If the army approaches the enemy's territory, and the one who fails to arrive within three days of the excuse, will be executed.''The general will not stick to it' Article: "Officials and soldiers retreat first before the battle, and those who escape from besieging the enemy's city will be beheaded." Take the lead and go into battle, capture and behead one of the thieves, five liang; Those who do not want to, will be rewarded with ten taels; those who capture and chop from more than six to nine thieves will be promoted to the second level, and the remaining merits will be rewarded; those who are less than six, in addition to being promoted to the first level, will be deducted from the silver reward; three If there are four or five people or more who capture and behead a bandit in the second play, the reward will be divided equally between ten liang; Those who have achieved more than 70 subordinates will be promoted to the first level; those who have 500 people will be promoted to the first level; Eight liang; three people will be promoted to one level; one who is a drama thief will be promoted to one level. Hereditary is not allowed, and those who are unwilling will be rewarded with five liang. These are all rewards. Rewards and punishments are like this, which is suitable for people to inspire and persuade. However, if there are those who fail, the code of reward and punishment is prepared, but the code of punishment is only carried out after the participation, and not when the enemy is sealed off in front of the battle; It is also because of the ordinary use of troops. Let us take Lingbei as an example, the four provinces are connected, and there are many bandits. In recent years, such as the leader of the bandits, Xie Zhishan, Gao Kuaima, Huang Xiukui, and Chi Dabin, have attacked cities and plundered villages from time to time. There are thousands of disciples at every turn. Every time the warlords pursue and suppress them, it is only a matter of momentum. Once they break out of the siege and retreat, and the soldiers cannot decide the battle, they will be persuaded by no rewards and punishments. There is no code of rewards and punishments. In the future, only the preceding paragraph will be met In the case of banditry, the leader of the army does not stick to the military and guard divisions, and if all the soldiers under his command retreat and refuse to die, the leader of the army is allowed to act according to the military law; Soldiers, if they are able to capture and kill the enemy, or go to the enemy to die, they will report the truth, and the investigation is true. If they pass on the news, they will all be rewarded. If the thief is captured alive, ask to understand, and immediately escort him to the market. To show the public by beheading; to make people aware of the warning and to be fearful, is not incompatible with seeing the timeliness of action. In this way, rewards and punishments are clear, and people's hearts are encouraged; robbers can be killed immediately when they grow up; food and wages can be saved, and the achievements of the work can be seen."

It is presented to the minister.According to the investigation of thieves and thieves in the three provinces, two or three years ago, the total number was less than three thousand; now, according to the reports of military and garrison officials in various prefectures and counties, there are tens of thousands, which is no less than ten times that of before.The minister asked deeply for the reason.Find all the bureaucrats, interview all the elders, collect all the roads, and examine all the fields, all think that the prosperity of thieves is due to excessive recruitment; excessive recruitment is due to insufficient military strength; Deputy envoy Yang Zhang's discussion.Please tell me the reason for your majesty.

Although thieves are fierce and stubborn by nature, they are stubborn and not afraid of punishment.Husband is unable to punish him because of it, so he recruits him, and then he does everything he can.The proposal of appeasement can only be done occasionally to innocent cowardly people, but not often to the bandits who have long been evil and eventually killed; it can be done once to those who are willing to change their minds, but not repeatedly to the party who recruits and rebels.The robbers in the South and Jiangxi started from the fact that the people who were killed relied on the authority of the government, and they might gather a crowd to fight with them and shout at the officials;The thieves are accustomed to knowing that the government will not give to each other, so they benefit and threaten them with hatred.The people don't allow themselves to suffer, knowing that the government is not enough to rely on, so they follow the thieves.Therefore, the thieves are more fearless, and robbers are more frequent, and those who know the government will surely recruit themselves;Fu Pingliang has grievances and suffers without redress, but thieves have nothing to ask for; for the people, it is a drama of conquest and defeat, but for the robbers, they are rewarded for their diligence; why bother not to follow him?That is why those who are close to the bandits are the defenders, those who are far from the bandits are the guides of the village; those who are in the city are the friends, and those who are in the government are the spies;Therefore, it is also said that "thieves' day grows because of excessive appeasement".

Husbands and thieves are harmed, gods are angry and people are resentful, who doesn't feel sad!And those who have the sole responsibility must want to appease him, what can they do?It is true that if the strong soldiers are strong enough to wipe out the leader of the canal and destroy the lair, the people will be angry and the local troubles will be eliminated;However, the soldiers of South and Jiangxi have never been trained and raised, and they are all weak and arrogant. Whenever they are conscripted, they will be chased and refused to capture, and they will start to gather in ten days; carry on.Or still encountering him not retreating, looking at the thief dust and running first, and losing before the confrontation.Therefore, the imperial bandits are like driving a flock of sheep to attack a fierce tiger. Doesn't Ande take appeasement as a matter?Therefore, the use of troops in the South and Jiangxi is nothing more than cultural transfer and dispatch, so as to avoid the punishment of sitting idly by;If you want to be practical, you definitely dare not.why?Insufficient troops, the suppression and arrest may not be able to overcome; if the suppression and arrest cannot be overcome, there must be a failure of discipline, and the recruitment and transfer will become more and more frequent, and the supervision and responsibility will come day by day; There are those who are famous.With the strategy of recruiting, you can live in peace without trouble, without the labor of dispatching, without the responsibility of killing thieves, and without the stagnation of moving due to many things.If the husband is like this, who doesn't take comfort as a plan!That's why it is better to make the common people poisonous than dare to send out a single soldier to fight against Fang Zhang's captives; it is better to make orphans and widows cry, and the sufferings are not reported, than to mention a brigade of thieves to disobey and recruit.Gai's proposal for appeasement started out of necessity, and when he died, he kept it as a common policy.Therefore, it is also said that "too much recruiting and appeasement is due to insufficient military strength".

In ancient times, those who were good at using soldiers drove the city people to fight, and collected the scattered soldiers to resist the strong captives.Now there are still enough soldiers in the South and Jiangxi, and there are thousands of them. Is it absolutely useless?However, if the gold does not stop, the drums will not advance; if you die without seeing the enemy, you will go north without waiting for a battle.who?And then die, there is no persuasion from the noble reward; retreat and flee, there is no slaughter; then if you advance, you must die, and if you retreat, you are lucky to live, why bother to ask for death?Wu Qi said: "The law is not clear, and the rewards and punishments are not believed. Although there are millions of them, what good is it to use? The feeling of ordinary soldiers is that if you fear me, you will not fear the enemy, and if you fear the enemy, you will not fear me." Today, the soldiers in South and Jiangxi are all " Fear the enemy but not me", if you want to use it, you can get it!Therefore, it is also said that "the shortage of troops is due to the failure of rewards and punishments".

The code of rewards and punishments of the current imperial court is certainly in existence, but they are held without affirmation.In ancient times, rewards were not overdue, and punishments were not for future affairs.Rewarding after the time is the same as no reward; punishing afterward is the same as not punishing.What's more, if there is no reward when the time passes, and no punishment for the future, how can it unite the hearts of the people and boost morale?Even if Han and Bai are made generals, they will not be able to achieve anything. What's more, such corrupt Confucian students as ministers, who have ignorant knowledge and poor knowledge, and who have never known soldiers, what should they expect?The thieves from the south and Jiangxi of the discussant have connected several counties and occupied the four provinces. If they don't play and mobilize wolf soldiers, they will make a large-scale attack, which may not be enough to wipe out their nests;However, I think that the deployment of wolf soldiers is not only expensive, but also the plunder they have committed is no less than that of robbers.The prosperity of the soldiers lasts for a long time, and the momentum is well-known; when the incident is reached, all the thieves have already fled;So there is the misery of suffering, and there is the disadvantage of killing indiscriminately.There are not many teachers in the class, but there are already groups roaring in the mountains and forests.These are all past experiences.The minister is also close to picking the elites from South and Jiangxi, and got more than two thousand, which is a little impressive.Sincerely, when the rewards and punishments of the army are punished and punished, the false ministers act cheaply, not limited to the time, but success is the responsibility.Please prove it with recent events.I arrived in Jiangxi on the 15th day of the first lunar month of this year, and investigated the laws and regulations consulted by the Ministry of War. In the future, there will be grass bandits in the local area, and the matter is urgent. It is also about allocation and support; but it is a military situation, so people are sent to apply for it quickly.If there is any delay in concealment, even if the governor and the third division officer intervene, they will be dismissed from office and sent to the army according to the law.Although it is not a group of grass robbers, it is a famous robber who loots wantonly. The bandits are vicious. They intercept them during the day, or hold sticks with open fire. Regardless of the number of people, they try to arrest them. .If it is still obscure and concealed, if you don't report it immediately, so that people will gather to grow and spread, causing trouble to the place, pay attention to the investigation, and never take light loans.At that time, there was a long shortage of officials before, and before it could be implemented, the ministers immediately printed thousands of papers, passing through their affiliations, and announcing far and near.In less than a month, people from big and small yamen came to report the thief's information one after another, and there were often one or two people or five or six people or seven or eight people.who?Soldiers can be called at any time, but officials don't have to wait and see and hold their elbows, so naturally they have no excuse to escape and think about their strength.From this point of view, the laws and regulations exist, but the previous ones were not declared but carried out.Now that the code of rewards and punishments is clear and affirmed, the effect may not be as fast as it is.The day when the emperor reads the thieves is scorching, and the day when he mourns for the people's livelihood is frowned; the more the poisonous place is, the worse the pain and indignation of the people can't be extended;If this is the case, soldiers will not be good, thieves will not be destroyed, and ministers will not be able to escape their death.The husband is not dedicated, the power is not heavy, and the rewards and punishments are not good enough, so that the army is defeated, and then the important ministers are selected, and the power of the general system is used to save them.

The minister has little talent and ignorance, and is weak and sick.Self-sufficiency is not enough to do this, and I will beg for the bones from Your Majesty, and the rest will be panting under the forest.But now the party is guilty of this, knowing its disadvantages, and dare not speak out for His Majesty.Your Majesty obeys the request of the ministers so that the latecomers can follow their own measures and take the merits of the thieves, so that the ministers can also be less guilty of death.The relationship states that rewards and punishments are strictly based on human affairs, and this is the purpose of this request.

May 28, 12 According to Yang Zhang, the deputy envoy of Jiangxi's procuratorate to reorganize the military preparations and patrol North Lingdao, he said: "According to the Shendayu County Newspaper of Nan'an Prefecture, within April of the 12th year of Zhengde, more than 400 people from She rebels came to break the Going down to the South and other villages, more than 700 thieves including Shangyou and Hengshui intercepted the road and attacked the village, robbing and killing the residents. They also captured Nankang County News, and a group of She thieves suddenly came to Longju to protect the residents; More than 300 thieves suddenly came to the house of Guo Jiaqiong and others, and captured more than 80 men and women, and more than 100 cattle. Another She thief robbed more than 300 cattle in Changlong Township. The men, women and children did not know The number. He was taken captive to Shen, Youxian County, where the She thieves from Hengshui and other villages joined the fugitives and scattered them to rob people and property. According to the report by Xiao Jun, the head of the Sanmen, there are about several hundred She thieves and the fugitives, depending on the place names Liangtan captives lead people and cattle. On the 16th of this month, Liyu, the county's arresting chief, reported that the She thieves robbed Touli, Chakeng, etc., and they were stationed before they were dispersed. Suppression, the thieves have returned to Hengshui and other nests to finish. Each applies to the court, approves the army and prepares the way to report. The case is according to the previous matter submitted by the Nankang Mansion on the fifth day of April. At that time, the court saw the military governor in Zhangzhou, Fujian. I haven't returned, I don't know what the former thief yearned for, and the investigation has not reported. According to the report of Longnan County, more than 3,000 disciples including Chi Dabin, a strong thief from Wutou and other places in Guangdong, suddenly came to attack Zongjia Wang Shouzhai, and was entrusted by the Council Officer Xiao Cheng dispatched troops to go to the meeting to suppress. According to the county's report, the former bandits retreated and so on. According to the Nankang County petition, Xie Zhishan, the leader of the bandit, and Gao Kuaima, the leader of the bandit in Guangdong, were found to have a total of 2,000 people Yu Tu attacked and besieged Nankang County, killing officers and soldiers. The cause of the accident has already been investigated and reported by the prefect Xing Xun and others. The Ministry of War continued the question: "Governor Capital Censor Sun Sui and Southern Jiangxi Censor Wang Shouren will kill the aforementioned thief Xie Zhishan, etc., transferred the officers and troops, tried to suppress and arrest them, and did everything within the time limit. They should work with the inspectors of Liangguang Town, and carry out appointments as usual. The title is dedicated to Qin Yi. Grain, according to the opportunity, whether it is possible to suppress and arrest now. However, the Guangdong and Guangxi mobilization of troops and horses will be mobilized at the time, and we must investigate and discuss clearly. The handling is complete and the report is made. Still supervise the places to be firmly intercepted and guarded carefully, so as to be prepared There is no reason to wait. According to the case of this court, it is suggested that the former bandits connected the three provinces and occupied thousands of miles. The soldiers of the three provinces must advance at the same time, and they can be successful. But now Huguang has the Pianqiao Miao bandits, and Guangdong has another Fujiang Yaotong's attack, although they want to date and attack, it is now deep in spring, the rain is continuous, and the vegetation is luxuriant. Not only is it too late, but it is also a waste of food and wages. There is no one side to recruit troops to practice martial arts. The more stringent the defense, the more grain is stored Food and military supplies are prepared; those who recruit are pacified by their feelings, and they are temporarily recruited; According to the previous cause, Huang Hong, the counselor of the left, and Wang Tai, the commander of the garrison, found the three counties of Dayu, Nankang, and Shangyou under Nan'an Prefecture. There are more than ten famous thieves including Xie Zhishan, Zhihai, Zhiquan, Yang Jirong, Lai Wenying, Lan Yao, Chen Yueneng, Cai Jichang, Lai Wencong, Liu Tong, Liu Shou, Xiao Jumo, Chen Yincheng, Jian Yongguang, Cai Jiqing, Cai Xi, Xue Wengao, Hong Xiang, Xu Hua, Zhang Xiang, Liu Qingcai, Tan Yuezhen, Su Jingxiang, Lan Qingqi, Zhu Jihou, Huang Jinrui, Lan Tianfeng, Lan Wenheng, Zhong Ming, Judge Zhong, Wang Xing, Lei MingCong, Tang Hong, and Liu Yuanman had more than 8,000 thieves under their control, and they were connected with the lairs of Guiyang, Guidong, Yuhuang, Nie Shui, Tiger, Immortal, and Xiucai in Huguang, and Lechang in Guangdong. Divided, robbed three provinces, and harmed for many years.Longnan in Ganzhou, because of its border with Longchuan and Wutou in Guangdong, was entangled by the bandit leaders Chi Dabin, Da'an, and Dasheng. Lun, Zhong Wanxuan, Du Sibi, Sun Furong, Huang Wanshan, Huang Xiujue, Luo Jishan, Wang Jin, Zeng Zinai, Wang Chennai, Wang Hong, Luo Fengxuan, Li Yongxuan, Huang Benrui, Zheng Wenyue, Chen Xiuxuan, Chen Gui, Liu Jing, Lan Bin, Huang Jixiu, etc., There are more than 5,000 thieves under his control, and they cross the border from time to time to rob Xinfeng, Longnan, Anyuan and other counties.He has attacked three times, but all of them have slipped through the net.The former thieves occupied tens of millions of hectares of land and killed people, especially hard to count.Attacking and besieging cities, killing officers and soldiers, burning huts, raping wives and daughters;Where gods and men are wrathful together, what heaven demands will be added.Now it is heard that the two provinces of Guangxi and Huzhou have used troops to complete the attack, and it is only the right time to attack. However, there are deep mountains and lush forests, running east and west, and the soldiers and food in this way are weak, so it is necessary to borrow more than 30,000 taels of silver from the capital treasury. Thousands of wolf soldiers came to join forces, dated the three provinces and attacked together, and there was nothing left behind." According to Li Zeng, the county magistrate of Lechang County, Guangdong, there were 800 Dongshan bandits including the first high-speed horse and others in February this year. Yutu robbed in Guitou Village, a place named Guitou Village. According to the report from Ruyuan County, more than a thousand thieves robbed Zhoutou Street and other places, and the details of the application were detailed. According to Chen Bicheng, the deputy envoy of Huguang Zhengzheng Chengui and other military preparations, said: "This year In February, according to reports from Huangshabao, more than 300 strong Guangdong thieves came out to attack and rob.According to Yizhang's flying report, more than 2,000 thieves from Shandong Miao in Lechang County went to Jiuyang and other places to search the mountains and arrest people, but they did not disperse; Guiyang and other places attacked the city.It was also reported that there were more than 600 thieves in Dongshe, such as Changliu, Jiangxi Province, and another 400 or so thieves, each of whom went out to plunder.And according to Guidong County's report, more than 700 gangsters went to the county to kill and sacrifice flags, and captured men and women, but they did not disperse.According to the Guiyang County newspaper, more than 600 strong thieves claimed to come to attack the stronghold and other reasons, and each reported to the report.It can be seen that the Miao thieves gathered in the four mountains in the previous item, and the number of reports will reach more than ten thousand.Our soldiers are few and weak, and the defense is not enough, how can the enemy fight!Kuang Chengui belonged to Yongxing and other counties. There was no city in the past, and it was really difficult to defend the place.Fu Wangzhen thought of being tormented, and asked the army to hunt him down" and other reasons. According to Guiyang County, Chenzhou: "The four sides of this county are all thieves' nests.In the past three years of Zhengde, the leader of the bandit, Gong Fuquan, and others have been at the expense of killing Deng Min, the commander of the garrison; although they have been conscripted and suppressed, the evil party still exists.In the seventh year of Zhengde, the Bingbei Yamen recruited Gong Fuquan, the leader of the bandit, gave him a crown and set him up as a Yao official; Cong, Cao Yongtong, and Xie Zhishan were given scarves and clothes as old people.In less than two months, the main road has been robbed and killed soldiers and civilians.There are more than a hundred thousand apprentices at every turn, known as Gao Kuaima, 'Youshan Tiger', 'Golden Leopard', 'Guotianxing', 'Midi Bee', 'General Soldier' ​​and other names, and they are robbed everywhere.In July of the 11th year of Zhengde, Gong Fuquan took the title of "Tingxi King", and Li Bin, Li Wen, and Liang Jingcong pretended to be "General Commander-in-Chief". , arrange the head pedals; the rest of the Yao thieves ride on horses.More than a thousand disciples went out to rob Lechang and Nankang in Jiangxi and other counties to resist the enemy's official army.Later, he was ordered by Fu Yu to give Gao Zhongren and Li Bin, the heads of the thieves, crowns and reset the Yao officials.After half a month of unrest, he still went out to rob.On the 16th day of the first lunar month of this year, more than 800 disciples went out to rob Lechang County, captured the magistrate Han Zongyao, and robbed the treasury and prison; another group of more than 700 disciples robbed the home of student Tan Minghao; There were more than five hundred disciples from Xingning and other counties.Thinking of the former thief's yang from the yin's back, follow the rebellion with caress.At present, there are more than ten thousand Yao thieves gathered in the caves, declaring that they will build Lu Gong's carts and attack the cities and counties of the prefectures and counties.The officials and the people are hesitating, begging to convey, please transfer the officials and troops of the three provinces to encircle and suppress, etc., each prepares to apply to the ministers. In addition to preparing for the three provinces of Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Huguang, the officials who guard the patrols and guard the garrison are strictly supervised by the respective prefectures and counties. The officials in India patrolled the pass and raised the pass and waited for them to gather troops and wait for them to defend carefully. After the camera intercepted and captured them, it was found that the local thieves were rampant and the people were poisoned. The stealing plan was weak and the troops were weak enough to guard against it. Restraining the power of thieves and swaying the power of affairs are not enough to unify the hearts of the people. Begging to declare rewards and punishments, fake ministers and others order flags and tokens, so that they can do things cheaply. In presenting the antecedent reasons, the ministers and others have referred to the previous item and found that the thieves have become full of evil, and the gods are angry with the people. For example, gangrene and paralysis in the human body, if the attack is not accelerated, the lungs will burst and the intestines will be broken.

However, there are two ways to attack and govern.If your majesty and false ministers use rewards and punishments to emphasize power, so that they can act cheaply, expect success, and have no time limit, then the soldiers will be trained, the orders will be clear, the people will be motivated, and there will be no constraints. To attack is to attack a village, and if a nest can be attacked, then attack a nest; measure the depth of the crime to appease and suppress it, and measure the priority of the situation to think first.In this way, the cost of supply and donation can also be saved, without the disturbance of collection and transfer; the sun will be cut and the moon will be cut, so that it will gradually disappear.This is like the metaphor of pulling teeth in the past. It is gradually shaken, and the teeth are thrown without the child noticing it.However, in the feelings of the people today, everyone wants to make a big contribution, and use the anger of the dynasty to cover their resentment, and no longer consider other things.It is necessary to transfer the wolves from Guangdong and Guangxi to the south, and transfer the local soldiers from Hunan and Hunan to the west, advance in four directions, and capture them in one go.However, taking the example of "ten encircles and five attacks" in the art of war, there are 20,000 thieves, 100,000 soldiers are required, and thousands of dollars are spent every day.There are 700,000 families who are unable to do anything on the road. They accumulate millet and materials, and it takes a few months to start gathering; The sly ones flee deep with the help of the class, and they are forced by the sharp edge, but they are no more than the old and the weak.What's more, what wolf soldiers have gone through is no less than robbery; the suffering of transfer is heavily trapped by the people.In recent years, there has been the battle of Yaoyuan in Jiangxi, and the devastation has just begun; the bandits of Tingzhang in Fujian, but the army has not yet turned;In addition, the pomelo is too light to be planted into the soil; while the construction has lost, the four expeditions have not yet been completed;If more soldiers are added, how can the people live up to their fate?This is the one who removes the teeth and dies with the child.From what I said before, it is like a minister who is ignorant and inferior. I am really afraid that I will not be able to handle things, so I must choose those who are capable and let them go.If there is a large-scale attack, the blame can be shared and the blame can be reduced, but the ministers dare not use their own plans to abolish the state council.But His Majesty can choose whether it is possible or not, and do it decisively.It is due to local emergencies and thieves, so I have a request for this.

May 28, 12 According to Yang Zhang, the deputy envoy of the Jiangxi Inspection Department to organize the troops and patrol the North Lingdao Road: "On February 20th in the twelfth year of Zhengde, according to the report of King Shen Zongjia of Longnan County, Ganzhou Prefecture, Meng sent all the soldiers to lead the army. Together with Huang Xiuji, the chief thief who had been recruited, went to Anyuan to intercept and arrest the exile Lai Zhenlu, etc., and went to the place named Hujiangbei. Liu Bifu and other houses were still plotting to rob with the leader of the bandit, Lai Zhenlu, etc. In this campaign, the governor led his troops to the place named Likeng Sacrifice to fight against the bandits, and killed the bandit leaders Huang Xiuji, Huang Daman, Huang Ximan, and Huang Jiyu on the spot. Four heads were captured, two yellow and black flags were captured, and more than 30 thieves were killed. On the ninth day of April this year, another old thief in Wutou, Guangdong, Chi Dabin, joined the rebel leaders Huang Xiukui and Chen Xiuxian, etc. A group of more than four hundred disciples robbed the family of Qianchang He Fu and others. In this campaign, they led their soldiers to the place named Chenkengshui, and confronted the bandits. They killed the leader of the bandit, Chen Xiuxian, and a dozen others, captured one red flag, and five cattle, big and small. The head; the rest of the thieves went back to their nests. According to the report of Nan'an Prefecture and Zhang Debao, the pass chief of Dayu County, Tang Feijian, the leader of the thieves in Yuhuangdong, Guiyang County, Huguang, Yan Zongqing, and Lai Bi, the chief soldier, were corrected. All the captives, as soldiers, pursued to Nanliuao, Jieshou, and confronted the bandits, and captured Tang Feijian and Yan Zongqing's first two. As well as Nan'an County Shen and Zhun County, more than 300 thieves came out of Shufuguan She In the event of robbery, when Bao Zhang Wang Wanhu and others led the township soldiers to arrest and capture one thief, two thieves were captured alive, three captives were recaptured, and two yellow cattle were captured.According to Huang Zhaocheng, who was inspected by the procuratorate in Guangdong Province, said: "Shen Yuanshen, the county magistrate of Ruyuan County, Shaozhou Prefecture, said that on February 18th of this year, a group of Dongshan Yao bandits, the head of a high horse, and others suddenly came outside the city and killed them. They robbed the nearby villages and wanted to capture the southern city. Immediately, they gathered the local soldiers and thugs to defend the city and their cameras to fight against the enemy. They shot and wounded three thieves, and all the thieves retreated to camp outside the northern city. Bravely confronted the thieves, shot and injured more than 20 thieves, shot 16 dead, and recaptured 32 captives. According to the old thief Liang Zhen and others, he killed two thieves and captured the thieves alive One criminal. According to Li Zengshen, the magistrate of Lechang County, more than 600 gangsters went out to rob, and when the thugs went to intercept them, they went to the place named Yunmen Temple to fight against the bandits. They captured 24 bandits and captured them alive. Two apprentices and seven horses were seized. According to Qujiang County Yaozong Pan Zongxing and others, one thief was captured and one horse was captured. Each submitted his explanation to the way, and the trial is true" and other reasons.According to the statement of Jieyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture: "The bandits robbed the families of Huang Yiguan and others in Changle, Haifeng and other counties. They dispatched troops quickly, went to the place name Changmenjing, fought against the bandits, and captured Zhang Hongfu, Wang Musi and other 16 thieves. They captured two thieves and wives." According to the application of the Huizhou government: "The thieves were allowed to be arrested and judged by Xu Ji, saying that the gang of thieves had about 80 disciples. Chased to the place named Ma Junjing, and captured four thieves including Du Dong and one thieves; Zheng Quan and others captured 12 thieves including Zhang Zai in the place name Kuitouzhang; and Qianchang Peng Boxuan and others led their troops to capture 15 thieves, including Huang Gui, one thieve, and one thieve's wife. Another leader, Huang Tingzhu, captured eight thieves, including Lei Jinbao. They all went to Lingdong Road for interrogation." Equal cause.And according to Chen Bi, the deputy military envoy of Huguang Chengui and other departments, and Li Zhang, the garrison commander, each reported that more than a thousand Miao thieves from Guangdong went to rob Xingning and other places, and acted as killers in Chenzhou. The leader pursued to the place named Datian Bridge and met the bandits. He captured and beheaded thirty-two people including the bandit Pang Guang, seized forty-seven stolen wares, five horses and mules, and recaptured 250 captives. and according to the old man Liu Xuan and others captured six thieves including Lei Kenu and three women.When the report arrives, the inspection is clear.Each prepares a report to submit to the minister. First of all, it is the governor's local affairs, and the festival will be ordered: "Order the governors of Nan'an in Jiangxi, Ganzhou, Tingzhou in Fujian, Zhangzhou, Nanxiong in Guangdong, Shaozhou, Huizhou, Chaozhou and Chenzhou in Huguang, but there are thieves and robbers.即便设法剿捕。钦此。”钦遵。已经备行道守巡、兵备、守备等官，严督府、衙、所、州、县掌印、捕盗等官，集起父子乡兵及顾募打手、杀手、弩手人等，各于贼行要路去处加谨防御，遇有盗兵出杀，就便相机截捕，获功呈报，以靖地方。今据各呈，除行各该兵备等官将斩获贼级阅验明白，发仰枭首、生擒贼犯问招回报；俘获贼属并牛马赃物俱变卖价银入官，与器械俱贮库；被虏人口给亲完聚；获功人员照例量行给赏外，缘系擒获功次事理，为此具本题知。 十二年五月二十八日 据福建按察司兵备佥事胡琏呈：“奉本院批，据漳州府呈：“准知府钟湘关据南靖县儒学生员张浩然等连名呈称，南靖县治僻在一隅，相离卢溪、平和、长乐等处地里遥远，政教不及，小民罔知法度，不时劫掠乡村，肆无忌惮，酿成大祸。今日动三军之众，合二省之威，虽曰歼厥渠魁，扫除党类，此特一时之计，未为久远之规。乞于河头、中营处添设县治，引带汀、潮，侯襟清、宁。人烟辏集，道路适均；政教既敷，盗贼自息。考之近日，龙严添设漳平而寇盗以靖，上杭添设永定而地方以宁，此皆明验。今若添设县治，可以永保无虞等情。又据南靖县义民乡老曾敦立、林大俊等呈称，河头地方北与户溪流恩山岗接境，西南与平和象湖山接境，而平和等乡又与广东饶平县大伞、箭灌等乡接境，皆系穷险贼巢。两省居民，相距所属县治各有五日之程，名虽分设都图，实则不闻政教。往往相诱出劫，一呼数千，所过荼毒，有不忍言。正德二年，虽蒙统兵剿捕，未曾设有县治；不过数月，遗党复兴。今蒙调兵剿抚，虽少宁息，诚恐漏网之徒复踵前弊，呈乞添设县治，以控制贼巢；建立学校，以移风易俗；庶得久安长治等因。蒙漳南道督同本职，与南靖县知县施祥带领耆民曾敦立等，并山人洪钦顺等，亲诣河头地方，踏得大洋陂背山面水，地势宽平，周围量度可六百余丈，西接广东饶平，北联三团卢溪，堪以建设县治。合将南靖县清宁、新安等里，漳浦县二三等都，分割管摄，随地粮差。及看得庐溪枋头坂地势颇雄，宜立巡检司以为防御，就将小溪巡检司移建，仍量加编弓兵，点选乡夫，协同巡逻。遇有盗贼，随即扑捕。再三审据通都民人合词，执称南靖地方极临边境，盗贼易生，上策莫如设县。况今奏凯之后，军饷钱粮尚有余剩，各人亦愿凿山采石，挑土筑城，砍伐树木，烧造砖瓦，数月之内，工可告成。为照南靖县相离卢溪等处委的窎远，难以提防管束，今欲于河头添设县治，枋头坂移设巡检司，外足以控制饶平邻境，内足以压服卢溪诸巢；又且民皆乐从，不烦官府督责，诚亦一劳永逸，事颇相应。具呈到道，呈乞照详'等因。奉批：'看得开建县治，控制两省瑶寨，以奠数邑民居，实亦一劳永逸之图。但未经查勘奏请，仍仰该道会同始议各官，再行该府拘集父老子弟及地方新旧居民，审度事体，斟酌利害。如果远近无不称便，军民又皆乐从，事已举兴，势难中辍。即便具由呈来，以凭奏请定夺。仍一面俯顺民情，相度地势，就于建县地内预行区画街衢井巷，务要均适端方，可以永久无弊；听从愿从新旧人民，各先占地建屋，任便居住；其县治、学校、仓场及一应该设衙门，姑且规留空址，待奏准命下之日，以次建立；仍一面通行镇巡等衙门公同会议。此系设县安民、地方重事，各官务要计处周悉，经画审当，毋得苟且雷同，致贻后悔。批呈作急勘报，等因。依蒙拘集坊郭父老及河头新旧居民再三询访，各交口称便。有地者愿归官丈量，以建城池；有山者愿听上砍伐，以助木石；有人力者又皆忻然相聚，挑筑土基，业已垂成。惟恐上议中止，下情难遂”等情，具呈到臣。 为照建立县治，固糸御盗安民之长策，但当大兵之后继以重役，窃恐民或不堪。臣时督兵其地，亲行访询父老，辄咨道路，众口一词，莫不举首愿望，仰心乐从；旦夕皇皇，惟恐或阻。臣随遣人私视其地，官府未有教令，先已伐木畚土，杂然并作，裹粮趋事，相望于道。究其所以，皆缘数邑之民积苦盗贼；设县控御之议，父老相沿已久，人心冀望甚渴，皆以为必须如此，而后百年之盗可散，数邑之民可安，故其乐事劝工，不令而速。臣观河头形势，实系两省贼寨咽喉。今象湖、可塘、大伞、箭灌诸巢虽已破荡，而遗孽残党，亦宁无有逃遁山谷者？旧因县治不立，征剿之后，浸复归据旧巢。乱乱相承，皆原于此。今诚于其地开设县治，正所谓抚其背而扼其喉，盗将不解自散，行且化为善良。不然，不过年余，必将复起。其时再举两省之兵，又糜数万之费，图之，已无及矣。臣窃以为开县治于河头，以控制群巢，于势为便。虽使民甚不欲，犹将强而从之，况其祝望欣超若此，亦何惮而不为！至于移巡司于枋头坂，亦于事势有不容已。盖河头者，诸巢之咽喉；枋头者，河头之唇齿；势必相须。兼其事体已有成规，不过迁移之劳，所费无几。臣等皆已经画区处，大略已备，不过数月，可无督促而成。民之所未敢擅为者，惟县治学校，须命下之日乃举行耳。伏愿陛下俯念一方荼毒之久，深惟百姓永远之图，下臣等所议于该部，采而行之。设县之后，有不如议，臣无所逃其责。今新抚之民，群聚淤河头者二千有余，皆待此以息其反侧。若失今不图，众心一散，不可以复合；事机一去，不可以复追。后有噬脐之悔，徒使臣等得以为辞，然已无救于事矣。缘系添设县治永保地方事理，为此具本请旨。 十二年六月十五日 据江西按察司整饬兵备带管分巡岭北道副使杨璋呈：“奉巡抚江西右副都御史孙燧案验，准兵部咨：'行移各该巡抚官员，今岁俱免赴京议事，各要在彼修举职业。若有重大军务，应议事件，益于政体，便于军民者，明白条陈，听会官计议奏请'等因，已经行仰所属查访去后，随据吉安、临江、袁州等府，万安、泰和、清江、宜春等县商民彭拱、刘常、郭闰、彭秀连名状告：'正德六年，蒙上司明文行令赣州府起立抽分盐厂，告示商民，但有贩到闽、广盐课，由南雄府曾经折梅亭纳过劝借银两，止在赣州府发卖者，免其抽税；愿装至袁、临、吉三府卖者，每十引抽一引。闽盐自汀州过会昌羊角水，广盐自黄田江、九渡水来者，未经折梅亭，在赣州府发卖，每十引抽一引；愿装至袁、临、吉三府发卖，每十引又抽一引。疏通四年，官商两便。正德九年十月内，又蒙赣州府告示，该奉勘合开称，广盐止许南、赣二府发卖，其袁、临、吉不系旧例行盐地方，不许越境。以致数年广盐禁绝，准盐因怯河道逆流，滩石险阻，止于省城三府。居民受其高价之苦，客商阻塞买卖之源。乞赐俯念吉、临等府与赣州地里相连，自昔至今惟食广盐，一向未经禁革。况广盐许于南、赣二府发卖，原亦不系洪武旧制，乃是正统年间为建言民情事，奉总督两广衙门奏行新例。如蒙将广盐查照南、赣事例，照旧疏通下流发卖，万民幸甚，等因。又据赣州府抽分厂委官照磨汪德进呈：'近奉勘合禁止广盐、止许南、赣发卖，不许下流。但赣州、吉安地理相连，水路不过一日之程。今年夏骤雨泛涨，虽有桥船阻隔，水势汹恶，冲断桥索，以致奸商计乘水势，聚积百船，执持凶器，用强越过。后虽拿获数起，问罪不过十之一二。又有投托势要官豪，夹带下流发卖者；又有挑担驮载，从兴国、赣县、南康等处小路越过发卖者。其弊多端，不禁则违事例，禁止则势所难行，呈乞议处'等因。卷查正德六年奉总制江西等处地方军务左都御史陈金批：'据江西布政司呈，准本司右布政使任汉咨称，查得江西十三府俱系两淮行盐地方，湖西、岭北二道滩石险恶，淮盐因而不到。商人往往越境私贩广盐，射利肥己。先蒙总督衙门奏准广盐许行南、赣二府发卖，仰令南雄照引追米纳价，类解梧州军门，官商两便，军饷充足。当时止是奏行南、赣，不会开载袁、盐、吉三府。分无遵照敕谕，便宜处置，暂许广盐得下袁、盐、吉三府地方发卖，立厂盘制，以助军饷。及据江西按察司兵备副使王秩亦呈前事。随该三司布政等官刘杲等议得委果于事有益，于法无碍，呈详，批，允前来，遵照立厂，照例抽税'外，正德九年十月内，准户部咨，该巡抚都御史周南题，该本部覆议，内开广东盐课，仍照正德三年题奉钦依事理。有引官盐，许于南、赣二府发卖，不许再行抽税。袁、临、吉不系旧例行盐地方，不许到彼。如有犯者，不分有引无引，俱照律例问罪没官。又经行仰禁革去后，今据前因，随查得正德六年十一月二十七日设立抽分厂起，至正德九年五月终止，共抽过税银四万八百四十余两。陆续奉抚镇衙门，明文支发三省夹攻大帽山等处赏功军饷，并犒劳过狼兵官军士兵口粮，并取赴饶州征剿姚源军前应用，及起造抽分厂厅浮桥，修理城池，买谷上仓，预备赈济，及遵巡抚军门批申，借支赣州卫官军月粮等项，支过税银三万八千二百九十余两。由此观之，则地方粮饷之用，岁费不赀而仰给于商税独重。前项商税所入，诸货虽有，而取足于盐利独多。及查得近为紧急贼情事，该兵部题奉钦依，转行议处停当，具由呈报。该本道会同分守守备衙门议得贼首谢志珊有名大寨三十余处，拥众数万，盘据三省，穷凶极恶，神怒人怨。已经呈详转达奏闻，动调三省官兵会剿去后，及议得本省动调官兵以三万为率，半年为期，粮饷等费，约用数万。查得赣州府库收贮前项税银，除支用外，止余二千九百余两。又是节催起解赴部之数，续收银两止有一千六百余两。但恐不日命下，克期进剿，军行粮食，所当预处。及查得广东所奏前项盐法，准行南、赣二府贩卖，果系一时权宜，不系洪武年间旧例，合无查照先年总制都御史陈金便宜事例，一面行令前商，许于袁、临、吉三府贩卖，所收银两，少为助给；一面别行议处，以备军饷。庶使有备无患，不致临期缺乏。候事少宁，另行具题禁止。庶袁、临、吉三府无乏盐之苦，南、赣二府军门得军饷之利，而关津把截去处免阻隔意外之变，诚为一举而三得矣，等因。已经备由呈奉巡抚都御史孙燧批：'看得所议盐税，既不重累商人，抑且有裨军饷，舆情允协，事体颇宜。但其至赣州府十取其一，吉、临等府十而取二，似乎过重。仰行再加详议，斟酌适中回报。'依奉访得商民贩盐，下至三府发卖者，倍取其利，即许越境贩卖，乃其心悦诚服，并无税重之辞。又经呈详，奉批：'看得所议盐税事情，商贾疏通，军饷有赖，一举两得，合遵照钦奉敕谕便宜处置事理，仰行各道并该府县遵奉。仍禁革奸徒，不许乘机作弊，因而瞒官射利，扰害地方。'具由缴申，今照本院抚临，理合再行呈请照详”等因。据呈到臣，看得赣、南二府，闽、广喉襟，盗贼渊薮。即今具题夹攻，不日且将命下；粮饷之费，委果缺乏；计无所措，必须仰给他省。但闻广东以府江之师，库藏渐竭；湖广以偏桥之讨，称贷既多；亦皆自给不赡，恐无羡余可推。若不请发内帑，未免重科贫民。然内帑以营建方新，力或不逮；贫民则穷困已极，势难复征。及照前项盐税，商人既已心服，公私又皆两便，庶亦所谓不加赋而财足，不扰民而事办。臣除遵照敕谕，径自区画事理，批行该道，暂且照议施行。候地方平定之日，将抽过税银、支用过数目，另行具奏。抽分事宜，照例仍旧停止外，缘系地方事理，为此具本题知。
