Father can be an enemy to the country

Lao Liu really didn't mix any private goods into it and secretly mapped out the territory. The Yunnan Province of the Yuan Dynasty was so large.

Even excluding the part of the original Myanmar Central Province, the 55th Road directly under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province included parts of Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos.

For example, Yunyuan Road is located in Mengyang, Kachin State, Myanmar; Meng Ai Road is located in Mengkai, northeast of Kengtung, Shan State, Myanmar; Mengjie Road is located in the northeast of Chiang Mai, Thailand; Mu'an Road is located in Nan Province, Thailand. North; Mengjuan Road, the administrative place is south of Chiang Mai, Thailand; Mengchen Road, the administrative area is in the north of Chiang Rai Prefecture, Thailand...

Generally speaking, it is Yunnan Province plus northern Myanmar, plus north of Chiang Mai in Thailand, plus western Laos.

And in fact, the Ming Dynasty did not intend to give up Myanmar. In the years that followed, Boss Zhu and his son successively established the Three Proclamations and Six Welfares in Myanmar, which came under the jurisdiction of Yunnan, so Myanmar was the undisputed territory of the Ming Dynasty. It was not until one hundred and fifty years later, when the Ming Dynasty's national power declined, that these places gradually broke away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

But you can’t deny that Burma, northern Thailand, and Laos were Ming Dynasty’s territories just because of the predicament one or two hundred years later.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is just presenting the true Yunnan Chengxuan Envoy in history.

Seeing Mei Sizu and Pan Yuanming, they were completely speechless now, but they should still be worried.

"Your Highness, let's not talk about Myanmar first, but just talk about the fifty-five prefectures directly under the jurisdiction of Yunnan. How many Han people can there be?" Pan Yuanming asked Lao Liudao.

"Less than one out of ten." Zhu Zhen said with a wry smile: "And they are all concentrated in big cities like Kunming and Dali. Many states and counties don't even have Han people at all."

"This is troublesome." Pan Yuanming sighed and said: "If there are no Han people, they are all aliens. How to issue government orders? Do the barbarians listen to the chieftain or the government? This is all a problem."

"Indeed, the common people only know about the local chiefs and not about the government, so nothing can be done." Mei Sizu frowned, realizing what a big trouble he had gotten into.

"We can't always use the army to suppress them, right?"

"We really have to use the army to suppress them." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "The chieftains have been spoiled by the Yuan Dynasty, especially the more than ten years since Liang Wang was in power. He has spoiled them into lawlessness. Rules must be established and re-established. Only by strictly controlling the rules and regulations can Yunnan be truly transformed into a royal state."

"But this will cause a big chaos..." Pan Yuanming sighed: "The emperor taught the three generals earnestly and went over the lessons of the previous dynasties' conquests in Yunnan. He just told them to be extremely cautious and never let those chieftains surrender and come back. Rebellion?"

"Then what should we do? My father has already made it very clear - for the current plan, it is not just to control them from rebelling, but also to prevent them from rebelling." King Chu said in a deep voice:

"Not only to prevent them from rebelling, but more importantly, to make them incapable of rebellion."

"It's difficult, it's very difficult." Pan Yuanming said with a sad face: "It's easy to say that the army is there, but the army cannot always be in Yunnan. Once the army is reorganized, given the people's sentiments in Yunnan, wouldn't it be easy for the chieftains to rebel? How can we prevent them from having this ability? .”

"Then let the army stay in Yunnan!" Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said in shock.

"Ah? How is this possible? Yunnan can't afford to feed hundreds of thousands of soldiers on horseback." Pan Yuanming said even more sadly.

"Besides, it's not a problem for soldiers to stay in their hometown for a long time. Excessive homesickness will produce a large number of deserters." Mei Sizu also continued.

"Then bring all their families to Yunnan and let them live in military camps in Yunnan!" Zhu Zhen said loudly: "Their families are definitely unwilling, but they can't help it. At worst, we can make the conditions more generous!"

"Unmarried soldiers are not allowed to marry Han people. They are all looking for wives locally. They can find any number of wives. The guard station can give him a bride price." Zhu Zhen obviously didn't just talk, and said in a long way:

"Yunnan is vast and sparsely populated anyway, so what if he finds a wife to give his family 50 acres of land? If his family can't farm it, let all the father-in-law's family farm it for him. In this way, by asking for a barbarian girl, he can bring his whole family to farm. The Ziyi people are all on the side of the Han people. How many people are there in Yunnan? With an army of hundreds of thousands, as long as they find more wives, why are they worried about too few Han people?"

"..." Mei Sizu and Mei Sizu looked at each other and said in their hearts that he was indeed the emperor's son. He was exactly the same as his father's method of reducing the number of Mongolians.

"Your Highness's method is a good one, but it will definitely arouse the resentment of the chieftains, and it may be self-defeating." Pan Yuanming said cautiously.

"If they want to rebel, they will do so sooner or later. It would be a good thing to pop the pustules as soon as possible. Scraping the bones and treating the poison will eliminate this problem!" Zhu Zhen said more and more vigorously:

"There is no need to be secretive. Yunnan's top priority now is to use all means to increase the number of Han people. When the number of Han people reaches 30%, the barbarians will not dare to cause chaos easily; when the number of Han people exceeds half, the barbarians will behave and become obedient people; when the Han people The number exceeds 70%. Wherever there are any barbarians, they are all owned by China!"

"..." Mei Sizu and both of them were restrained by Lao Liu. How could old fools like them not understand what His Highness meant?

Of course, this can only be understood, not expressed.

Seeing the worried looks on the two of them, Zhu Zhen knew that they had not fully listened to his words. Even if I heard it, I wouldn't dare to go out and do it.

After all, not everyone is willing to suffer eternal infamy for the sake of their own nation.

But this is not up to them at all. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before the two of them understood what unshirkable historical responsibilities were.

So he served tea to see the guests off and said: "Okay, I wish you all the best in Yunnan. If... I mean just in case, if you encounter any difficulties, just ask someone to find me. I will definitely help if I can." "

"Your Highness really cares about the Ming Dynasty and is selfless!" Pan Yuanming and Pan Yuanming hurriedly stood up and flattered.

"Da Ming belongs to my family and is not a great lord." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and ended the conversation.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lao Liu to return to the capital to offer prisoners. The sacrifices were his uncle, the son of the late King Weishun of Yuan Dynasty, and 318 members of the family of Zala Valmy, the king of Liang. As well as 1,200 civil and military members of the Duan clan in Dali.

Since he had a purpose, he could not delay. He ordered Hu Xian to arrest all the prisoners according to the list and transfer them to the military camp.

He didn't know it until he did some counting, but he realized that his uncle and nephew were hospitalized together during that period of time...

"What's the situation?" Zhu Zhen asked displeasedly after hearing the news: "Why are two people hospitalized together?"

"Last night, the two of them drank mushroom soup together, and then they vomited, vomited blood, and had a fever in the middle of the night. They were sent to the emergency room and couldn't be cured. Later, they were sent to a field hospital. Prince Zhou personally took action and helped them hang up. ..." Hu Xian said helplessly.

"How can we let them eat mushrooms casually? This is Yunnan!" Zhu Zhen's nose was almost crooked with anger.
