First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biaoduan was sitting in the car, looking slightly sideways through the gap in the side curtain to see the kneeling people outside, some young children were curious, looked up furtively, and saw that they had earned everything.

And those common people are similar, if someone reprimands them, they will kneel tightly, and if no one cares, they will take a sneaky look. They all know that this is Emperor Zhu's honor guard when traveling. Zhu Biao suddenly smiled and said: "Father, what do you say?" Among the common people, is there anyone who has the ambition of Han Gaozu and the overlord of Chu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also said happily: "The old man in the world who doesn't want to be the emperor is nothing more than a dream, or the difference between a real rebellion. We don't believe that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were greedy for Qin Shihuang back then, but in the end it was only them who became popular. That's all."

The two talked and laughed for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly took out a memorial from his sleeve robe and threw it to his son: "Biaoer, it is difficult to conquer the world and it is even more difficult to defend the world. Look, there are many ambitious people in this world. After receiving an urgent report from the north, rebellions broke out in the three prefectures of Ningxia, Yan'an, and Pingliang at the same time, and there are more than ten thousand rebels, and we can see that there are Maitreya and Manichaeism among them."

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "It's really stupid. How could the mere tens of thousands of mobs shake the foundation of my Ming Dynasty? In the end, it was the people who were forced to get involved in it who were harmed."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the solemn and majestic drums outside and said: "They are also in a hurry. The right time, place and people are in hand. As the people's livelihood in Ming Dynasty restores the people to live in peace, they will be able to agitate the people less and less. In the end, it will be difficult. Fleeing and destroying, so I want to take advantage of the first return to the north, the common people's affiliation to Ming Dynasty is not deep, and they will continue to set off rebellions, and the harder the court kills them, the happier they will be."

As soon as Zhu Biao heard it, he understood that the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun had been lost for hundreds of years. In fact, the people in the north had no strong affiliation with the Central Plains court. In just a few years of effort.

Zhu Biao opened the military situation rush, and after probably reading it, he was sure that it was indeed a premeditated rebellion, all of which were dominated by well-known local gentry families. On the same day and night, a crowd suddenly gathered to attack the weakly defended county town, killing After becoming the county magistrate, he forcibly conscripted soldiers and robbed food.

Then they concentrated their forces to attack Yan'an Fucheng. Unfortunately, with their small strength, it is still a joke to attack the county town. Attacking the Fucheng with the high walls of the defenders is just a joke. They were immediately repelled.

Zhu Biao frowned and said softly: "One fled north to the Hetao area, and the other fled south to Shaanxi. These two places are currently under my Ming's weak control. These remnants of the evil cult can be punished!"

The Hetao area is vast and sparsely populated. Although there are many newly established guards, they are all close to the border, and they are always on guard against northern Mongolia. Now that Oala is about to move, he cannot be given this opportunity.

In Shaanxi, there was a drought, and there were many small-scale rebellions up and down. In order to appease the other affected people, the imperial court had been sending less soldiers and more food. Those people were probably trying to use the disaster to instigate a larger-scale rebellion.

But that's not something that a mob of thousands of people can make waves. When Chang Yuchun in Hetao receives the news, he will naturally send cavalry to chase after him. Besides, Li Wenzhong is almost here, and anyone who gets the news can easily destroy them.

And going to Nabo in Shaanxi is not a worry. Although there is no large army in Shaanxi, the imperial court has deployed 20,000 elite troops in Xi'an Prefecture, which is on the side, to guard against possible rebellions in the Shaanxi-Gansu area. After all, there will be people in every natural disaster. The court has long been used to rebellion and survival.

After all, the rebels are just the remnants of the cult and local gentry. The mob is inevitably limited by their horizons. Their way of thinking is still the old trick of decades ago. Wherever there is a famine, they will flee wherever there is a disaster, thinking about snowballing and getting bigger and bigger, but they Forget that facing the thriving Ming Dynasty, not the decadent Yuan Dynasty.

It’s just suffering the people along the way. The people who rebelled and rebelled must have had a bad life in the past, but they will not have the slightest compassion for the poor people of the same status. The weak always swing their swords at the weaker.

"Father, can you pass down the order? It's better to wipe it out as soon as possible. The drought over there is relatively serious. This is really a natural and man-made disaster."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "You also said that they are just a group of mobs. I am afraid that they have been wiped out by the local government. Daming is generally thriving now, and the people are determined. Even if we are asked to lead the rebellion, there is no way out. Let alone them."

"Now we are thinking about how to appease the people in the north. There are fewer and fewer rebellions in the south. Even if there are one or two groups, the localities can wipe them out by themselves. It is impossible to pull a team of more than a thousand people, but the north is still there. There can be a rebellion of more than ten thousand people."

Zhu Biao nodded. With the southward shift of the economic and political center, and the fact that Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and other places have been separated for hundreds of years, the north is indeed a little separated now, and its sense of belonging to Ming Dynasty is not strong, but this situation can only be achieved through Time to ease.

After leaving the city, Zhu Yuanzhang still wrote several decrees and sent them to various places, asking them to destroy the rebels. However, the news Zhu Yuanzhang received was five or six days ago, and it would take another five or six days for the decree to reach the hands of all parties... …

The emperor's guard of honor is indeed slow, but it has to be said that it is extremely comfortable. Zhu Biao has traveled all over the world in the past few years. Whether it is riding a horse or making a carriage, he is very tired, physically and mentally exhausted, and now I don't know if it is psychological. Extra comfortable.

As soon as they were not far away, the sun was shining brightly, so Lao Zhu gave the order to rest. He will move forward in the morning and evening, and find a cool place to camp and rest at noon, so as to avoid sunburn. The guards and soldiers can't stand it.

Such a huge guard of honor has everything, and it is no different from the palace when it is properly arranged. It even brought a few carts of ice, just like going out of the city for an outing. Today, I know how expensive the emperor is.

After a break, the father and son discussed the northern issues for a while. Although the imperial court began to implement changes in customs after the recovery of Yanyun, but now it seems that the effect is still not too obvious, and the living habits of the north and the south are still quite different.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Han culture was influenced and impacted by Mongolia and other ethnic groups to a certain extent. After the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang called together learned people to formulate "Da Ming Ji Li", trying to restore the etiquette culture of the Han nationality, and adopted a series of de-foreignization. measure.

Its measures include the crown and uniform system, the removal of Hu kneeling in terms of etiquette, and the restoration of the traditional etiquette of the Han nationality, such as Jishou etiquette.
