First Prince of Ming Dynasty

At the beginning Li Qi was still very confident. After all, he had been thinking about this matter for several days, and had been observing carefully since he came into contact with these chieftains, but under Zhu Biao's calm gaze, he became more and more guilty.

"Wait until Guizhou is unified and then kill Longzan Aqi. Even though he is powerful, he is no more than a mantis in front of me, Daming. At that time, the young and strong under the command of the Guizhou chieftain must have suffered heavy losses..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking nonsense."

Zhu Biao reassured Li Qi and said, "It's not a lie. I'm very happy to hear you say these things. I'm not afraid of thinking wrong or not thinking about it. What's more, there is indeed something to say, but it's still a little incomplete."

"Give full support to Longzan Aqi, and use profit to lure him to turn against the various ministries in Guizhou and kill each other. It is easy to say that Daming is reaping the benefits of the fisherman. What about supporting the bandits?"

"Long Zan Ah Qi is not a short-sighted idiot. Even if Long Zan Ah Qi can be forcibly killed and his offspring come to power, judging from the terrain of Guizhou, the final result will definitely be rebellion. There are no Han people in Guizhou. We will have no basis for ruling, and this is the biggest problem."

"You have also been in charge of relocation with this palace. You know how difficult this kind of thing is. The mountains and forests in Guizhou are densely covered with miasma, poisonous insects and scorpions. The Han people who moved there casually lacked medical care, food and nine deaths. In such a desperate situation, the common people I would rather rebel on the spot and seek happiness than die willingly..."

Zhu Biao just casually said a few simple things, which made Li Qi's complexion turn pale. If it went deeper, it would be even more difficult, and it was by no means a problem that could be solved by one or two tricks.

Otherwise, the land of Yunnan and Guizhou would not have been independent and self-governing for so many years. It is not difficult to make them surrender in name, but it is difficult to truly integrate them into the governance of the imperial court system. It can only be done slowly and meticulously.

This is also the reason why Zhu Biao is not in a hurry to expand the territory. It is not difficult to conquer any place, but it is extremely difficult to truly govern it, especially if there is no large number of Han people as the foundation in the locality, then it will be difficult. It is really difficult for the government to move an inch.

"Everything should not only be thought about but also carefully thought out. Go down and bring the leader of Shuidong Chieftain Song Mengmeng to see me tomorrow."

Li Qi made a promise and hurriedly retreated. The young man was thin-skinned and wanted to show off his talents in front of Zhu Biao, but now he was ashamed.

After watching Li Qi go down, Zhu Biao adjusted his sitting posture casually, half-lying on the wide seat, propping his head with one hand and closing his eyes, Liu Jin and other court ladies and eunuchs stood silently in the hall like sculptures sides.

It is definitely necessary to communicate with the chieftains in private, but Zhu Biao doesn't like being led by the nose, you want Long Zan Aqi to be your spokesperson, have you ever asked Ben Gong for his opinion?

This is why it is necessary to meet Song Mengguo first, and it is also a very simple trick to divorce. If Zhu Biao first met Shi Er, the female manager of Puding, it would not have this effect. Because Shi Er is not powerful enough, Zhu Biao only Seeing that the power is second only to the Song Mongolian gangsters in Longzan Ahqi.

This is a conspiracy, but it should be extremely useful. Li Qi is actually right. These chieftains in Guizhou have deep-rooted conflicts. After all, Guizhou is so big, how can there be no conflict of interest.

Even if Song Mengguo told the original content of the conversation after returning, who can really believe it? Even the more sincere Song Mengguo is, the more suspicious he is, human nature is so...

With doubts, this alliance formed under immediate pressure is not worth mentioning. Zhu Biao can also see their true internal attitude and set the goal of wooing and suppressing them. After that, they can go to see Comrade Zhu to accept the canonization .

Not only is it necessary to be canonized, the official title is sweet dates, but also a slap in the face to establish prestige. Guizhou was obtained without a war. There is always something missing. If you know, you will have no fear, which is not good.

However, the mass killing of the chieftain forces who take the initiative to lead the land to belong to them will definitely not work. Fortunately, there are many self-reliant villages in Guizhou. They generally have their own unique customs and beliefs. unstable factor.

There are still some small chieftain forces who are stubborn and have not sent people to submit to them. These Ming chieftains will join forces with Longzan Aqi and other chieftains to send troops to wipe out them. Since Guizhou is under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to tolerate the outsiders. Those who pay taxes and bear corvees, those who don't obey are not the people under the Ming Dynasty and should be punished.

Not only is it necessary to wipe out all the non-Chinese people in Guizhou, but it also takes the opportunity to find out the terrain of Guizhou's march, and first deploy 100,000 troops into Guizhou to set up guards and farms to train troops, in preparation for sending officials to set up yamen and relocate the people in the future.

Of course, it may not be possible to relocate people in the past ten years. After all, Daming has a small population and a lot of land, so there is no surplus population to move to Guizhou. Fortunately, there are 100,000 young and strong soldiers scattered in various guards in Guizhou. They are all full of blood and energy...

The people who will migrate in the future are all Han people, which will undoubtedly cause a natural estrangement with the local ethnic minorities, but these children will not be able to. They were born in Guizhou Governor and Weisuo, and they are natural Ming people.

Moreover, the establishment of a guard station in Guizhou is also to oppress Yunnan and prompt King Liang and Dali to make a decision as soon as possible. As early as half a month ago, Zhu Yuanzhang had given Tang He an order, and everything was ready. It seems that the group of chieftains in Beijing Does it match.

Zhu Biao's bottom line is that the army must be stationed and set up guards. Guizhou's annual taxes and corvees must not be missed.

Regarding military, political and economic affairs, Zhu Biao must first ensure the foundation of military power, and then pay a minimum tax. As for the rest, he is not in a hurry.

The general trend is with me, Longzan Aqi and others don't seem to be stupid, as long as this head is opened, it will be easy in the future. Although the Guizhou chieftains have the power of life and death in their territory, they can't enjoy it. More, at most, killing people and sleeping with a few more women (men), it's not difficult to corrupt intentionally.

When the number of Han people in Guizhou increases, the military and political power can be taken back gradually under the guidance of the situation. At worst, it is enough to give the chieftains a fortune. There is a heaven and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou, which is better than playing poisonous snakes in the mountains and forests of Guizhou. Bar?

Zhu Biao is not only stronger than them, but most importantly, he is also younger than them. He has time to plan and wait for the time to mature. The chieftains in Longzan Ahqi, Song Mengguo are still vigilant, after all, they came from the troubled times of the Yuan Dynasty. Yes, but their descendants may not necessarily be. This is also the limitation of the feudal ruling class, and no one can understand it.

Zhu Biao is too lazy to think about what will happen to him a hundred years later. He has a good mind, but he is not at the point where he can plan a national policy for a thousand years, and he does not believe that future generations will obediently follow the plan set by a dead person. .

Zhu Biao did what he could do. When he was in power, he let the common people take a good look at this vast world, planted a few seeds of unknown future, and then it was up to future generations to make their own choices. Take it yourself.

He doesn't care if the Zhu family is still a royal family or not. At that time, his bloodline must be in the hundreds of thousands. Even if he loses the throne, he won't die.

A few days ago, there were bandits in the north claiming that the blood of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty beheaded little green snakes and gathered people to rebel. Although they were suppressed by the local guard twenty Qingqi, Hao Lai proved that the blood of the Liu family has a long history...

Zhu Biao fell asleep for a while without knowing it, and when he woke up, the room was pitch-black, and he could only hear the crackling sound of the stove going off somewhere.

"Hmm~"

"Your Highness is awake, hold the lamp!"

Zhu Biao sat up straight, feeling a quilt slipped from his body, and was immediately supported by Liu Jin who leaned forward. After a few soft sounds, the lights in the hall were lit, and the light seemed to be transmitted, and each figure was gradually revealed.

Zhu Biao took a sip of the warm water handed over: "What time is it, why is it getting dark?"

Liu Jin replied respectfully: "It's Weishi now, and my master has only slept for more than an hour, but the sky has changed suddenly and is covered with cloudy clouds, and I'm afraid it will rain or snow."
