First Prince of Ming Dynasty

To be honest, the imperial court had anticipated the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou. Officials from the two places had handed in successive reports a few months ago, but they obviously underestimated its scale.

It caused a little confusion. After all, it was a remote area in the southwest, with steep terrain and dense forests. The deployment of troops and generals was slow, but it was also a bit deliberate.

I just want to see how many people with ulterior motives will jump out, otherwise, the Southwest Army can be dispatched a few months earlier to cooperate with the local guards to calm the waves before they rise.

As expected, many people or forces were involved in this matter, but they were restrained, and they did it carefully and secretly. They also knew that according to the current strength of Ming Dynasty, it was inevitable that the rebellion would be put down.

It's just that under the pressure of Yang Siyi's policy of immigration and replacement, if he doesn't start a blood feud when the public grievances are the most boiling, after the people have settled down and their children and grandchildren have reproduced, there will really be no chance.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Quan Xu: "We must investigate carefully and comprehensively, and we must not let one go. We must complete the disasters of the three provinces in one battle!"

"promise!"

He still trusts Old Zhu Quan Xu, nodded in satisfaction and then stroked his beard and said, "Hey, I didn't expect Ming Sheng to be so law-abiding."

"Bao'er, the move you made is very clever. There is no chaos in Sichuan, and there will be no big waves in those two places. You can wait and see for a while."

"Order Mingsheng to stick to the border. There is no need for him to lead troops to quell the rebellion, but he is not allowed to let a rebel enter Shu. He ordered the governor's mansion to immediately dispatch all the southwestern guards to block the road from Yungui to Huguang. , stick to the traffic center, suspend the flattening of the army, and send orders..."

"promise."

Liu Jin made a careful note and left as promised, while Zhu Biao frowned slightly. In fact, according to his plan, he planned to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, but his father now seemed to feel that there were too many barbarians in those two provinces. Thinking about letting them internalize themselves.

For those who are interested, this kind of rebellion can be controlled when it starts, and when it develops to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, it will be completely out of control, and they will not go head-to-head with the Ming army according to their wishes.

They will only avoid attacking the local wealthy families, including those chieftains with certain military strength. Although they are strong, they are weak compared with the Ming army.

In this way, as long as the rebellion can be limited to the two provinces, then they are shooting themselves in the foot. However, in this way, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty in the two provinces in the past few years will be completely destroyed. If it can still be preserved, the other prefectures and counties will have to start all over again.

The pros and cons of it are really hard to figure out, so Zhu Biao didn't immediately express his thoughts, but his lack of immediate approval can clearly explain his attitude.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to his son and said, "There is no need to calculate those trivial matters. We are not merchants who do business. There are too many barbarians in those two provinces. Just relying on emigration to fill them will not achieve results in a hundred years."

"As long as there are fewer barbarians and more Han people, any establishment will come naturally. Otherwise, if there is such a small chaos every few years and a big rebellion for decades, our Ming's military strength will have to be dragged in the southwest."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly and added a few suggestions. Old Zhu waved his hand slightly. Liu Jin, who had just returned, went out to preach the edict again. With the completion of every detail, the important officials of the court quickly understood the father and son of the Tian family. The plan is more smooth to cooperate.

Again, at this time of Ming Dynasty, apart from the fatal rebellion of Wu Xun, nothing else is enough to shake the foundation of this country.

After expelling Meng Yuan and taking back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and recasting the greatness of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Ming Dynasty is full of confidence in war from top to bottom. The warriors are sharpening their knives day and night, eagerly looking forward to going to the battlefield to invite meritorious service. Lord.

………

The Yunnan-Guizhou rebellion lasted for more than half a year. At its peak, it was said that there were 800,000 soldiers. The leader of the rebellion was originally a chieftain slave. He rushed to the right, and even wanted to break through the siege and sweep the south of the Yangtze River to break through the capital.

There was a lot of trouble, but now the head is placed in front of Zhu Biao.

Looking at it from afar, Zhu Biao was not in the mood to say anything to the dead man, so he waved for someone to take it away, and buried himself in writing a secret letter to Mingsheng Muying and Yang Siyi.

I wrote a thick stack and asked Quan Xu to arrange for someone to send it. It was a complete mess. Fortunately, Daming was very experienced in cleaning up the mess, so it was just a half-year farce.

Then he took out the memorabilia issued by Haixi Hou Naha, the right governor of the right governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and gave the approval with a pursed mouth, asking him to go to Guizhou to serve as a consolation envoy and a political official of Pingzhang, that is, the position of a great official in Xinjiang.

Long Zan Aqi, the former chieftain of Shuixi of the Yi nationality, was naturally responsible for such a big rebellion, but he was only demoted by a few levels. This time the damage is not small.

Most of the leaders of the rebel army were born as chieftain slaves. What they hated the most was not the Han people, but those chieftains who had blood feuds. The Guizhou Xuanwei Tongzhi Song Mongolian who had come to see the Ming Dynasty was caught and tortured by them for several days.

Later, at night, he was stripped of most of the skin, wrapped in sackcloth and soaked in an oil tank, quickly pulled out, tied his head and feet to a very high wooden pole, and set fire from his feet. It is said that Its screams are as terrifying as ghosts and monsters.

The most interesting thing is that the leader of the rebel army who tortured him in this way was the so-called cronies he personally planted.

It can be seen that it is an unwise decision to loose the noose to the beast with sharp teeth and claws.

Therefore, Zhu Biao was a little hesitant holding this memorial. Does Nahachu dare to backlash?

For Nahachu who contributed to Liaodong, the title of Marquis of Haixi is undoubtedly lower, but he knows that what happened in the past made Lao Zhu a little concerned, so he doesn't have any complaints on weekdays, but is very positive.

Going to the letter in person, I have attracted several powerful tribes on the grassland for Daming. Obviously, even if I haven’t set foot on the grassland for many years, the blood of the Muhua Li descendants of the Zarayier clan under the command of Genghis Khan in Mongolia is still very prestigious. .

Of course, there is also Zhu Biao’s credit for this. He has already welcomed Zhula, the youngest daughter of the chief of the Hongji tribe, as the prince Liangyuan. Brother-in-law.

The in-laws of the Hongji tribe are all over the grasslands, especially the marriage with Kublai Khan's family has been passed down from generation to generation. Any tribe with a little strength on the grassland is proud to marry a wife of the Hongji tribe with cattle and sheep treasures.

But today's Grassland Khan is also Sudieer, who is a descendant of Brother Alibu, and married a wife of the Wala clan, so he hates the Hongji tribe very much, so the Hongji tribe naturally put it on Daming, and they are gracious for Daming. play its role.

In the end, Zhu Biao let go. Naha turned out to be an old fox. When he first came to Daming, he was keenly aware of the hidden contradictions in the imperial court. Communicate with Donggong's subordinates.

His political inclination is very clear, and most people in the court can see it. Lao Zhu sees that he is sensible, so he doesn't continue to torment Naha.

Otherwise, at the beginning, he was often called into the palace to sneer and sneer, and he was very narrow-minded. Naha could only laugh along with him, and finally let him give out the anger of the year.

The vacancy of power in Guizhou is very greedy. The vacancy of the frontier official is a turnip and a hole. Last time the vacancy in Shuzhong was picked up by Mingsheng, it caused complaints from everyone.

Even the subordinates of the Eastern Palace are the same. Not everyone can understand that it is not easy for the king and the overall situation. They only know how to complain. Fortunately, Mingsheng is fighting for his strength. When everyone thinks that he will take this opportunity to make changes, he sticks to it. For the duty of a courtier, Zhu Biao earned face.
