The news of Timur's empire's victory has not yet reached the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Ying can basically determine the outcome of the battle.

After all, the changes he has made currently only involve the Ming Dynasty, and the situation in Central Asia will not change much because of his actions.

Perhaps the only thing he didn't know was that his subordinate Zhao Xiucai, Zhao Yuanhong, had gone to Constantinople.

It's just that as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, especially the continuous improvement of individual weapons such as matchlocks, as far as the entire world is concerned, there is no rival.

The only opponent can only be said to be distance.

Even if he knew that Timur asked you to send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying would just laugh and say nothing.

If he can reach the border of Ming Dynasty, he will lose.

The battlefield will inevitably be controlled in the grasslands or Tubo. There is absolutely nothing to worry about.

Today's Ming Dynasty can be said to be a peaceful and prosperous age, but there is still a place where rebellions are still rising and falling.

Yunnan.

This place was once guarded by Mu Ying. As a large number of Han people continued to migrate there through civilian villages, military villages and merchant villages.

As a result, the number of Han people has increased rapidly, and the population is larger than that of the two major ethnic groups, Bai and Yi.

Just because of its remote location, it was not able to catch the fast train of development in the Ming Dynasty.

Geographically speaking, Yunnan's advantages are too low, and there are many indigenous tribes.

Whether it is the dumping or storage of goods, it seems that they are not that frequent.

Zhu Ying received a memorial to impeach Mu Ying's son Mu Chun.

"Your Highness, Xiping Hou Muchun ignored the laws of the Ming Dynasty and annexed a large amount of land. He also supported hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The entire Yunnan area only knows the Mu family but not the royal family. If this continues, wouldn't it be like the separatist rule of vassal towns during the Tang Dynasty?

.”

"In our Ming Dynasty, the military and government are now separated. Only Yunnan's military and government are integrated. All major and minor affairs are handled by the Xiping Marquis, which controls huge power."

"The high amount of military pay generated every year is used to support the private army."

"The officials in Yunnan where he was based colluded with the local indigenous chiefs. While annexing a large number of Han armies, they also occupied a large amount of land currently occupied by civilians. Even the cultivated land of most ethnic groups was annexed, resulting in continuous chaos in Yunnan today."

"I heard that the Mu family has as much as 5,000 hectares of land in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties in Yunnan. Even the Tusi District on the south bank of the Red River stretches for more than 400 miles, and is surrounded by the Mu family.

'Xunzhuang'."

"The Hani, Yi, Dai and other native officials living there all pay tribute directly to the Mu family."

"The above are just the tip of Mu's iceberg. The specific details are all stated in the memorial."

In the Huagai Hall, Zhu Ying was sitting at the top, and the one speaking below was Zhuo Zengping, the chief envoy of Yunnan Chengxuan Administration Department.

As the Chief Envoy of the Yunnan Chengxuan Administration, Desk Zengping is supposed to have great power, but he has been suppressed miserably.

Mu Ying was fine before, after all, he was the adopted son who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country, but now that Mu Chun is acting like this, he feels a little unconvinced.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to report on his duties, he directly filed an impeachment petition.

According to the current rules, the impeachment memorial needs to be reviewed by the cabinet before it can be sent to Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Ying. This is to prevent excessive workload and the manipulation of rumors and fabrications.

Now that Zhu Zengping was able to speak in person at Huagai Palace, the contents of his memorial were not entirely true, but at least most of them were correct.

"The situation in Yunnan is very complicated now. You have also been in Yunnan for several years."

"You said that if the Mu family is removed now, who will be in charge of Yunnan's affairs?"

Zhu Ying did not show any anger about the land annexation in Yunnan. He just put the memorial aside and asked calmly.

"This" Zhu Zengping suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Ying waved her hand: "Okay, that's it. You have served in Yunnan for several years. You don't have to go there again when you come back this time. You can just follow the orders of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Zhuo Zengping wanted to say a few words after hearing this, but looking at His Highness Taisun's expression, he swallowed what he wanted to say.

He did not expect that he would be transferred out of Yunnan if he impeached him truthfully.

Is it just because Mu Ying is His Majesty's adopted son?

After Zhu Zengping left, Zhu Yuanzhang came out from behind the screen.

"Is the eldest grandson taking care of the Mu family because he thinks we care about Mu Ying? This is not like eldest grandson's usual style." Zhu Yuanzhang said with some surprise.

The original intention was to let the eldest son handle it alone, but he didn't expect that the eldest son had always attached great importance to the land annexation. Instead, when he came to the Mu family, he just let it go and transferred Zhu Zengping out of Yunnan.

Zhu Ying explained: "The reason he was transferred out of Yunnan was because once the incident happened, he would naturally be at loggerheads with the Mu family. It was also to make him feel better and not have a head-on confrontation with the Mu family."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows: "Do you think that Yunnan is beyond our control?"

Zhu Ying shook his head and said: "Of course not. In fact, I probably know a little bit about these things about Yunnan, but the current Yunnan seems to be similar to other territories of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it is very different."

"The situation in Yunnan is very complicated, mainly due to the existence of a large number of indigenous tribes, including dozens of ethnic groups, large and small. The conflicts are very acute and cannot be managed in a normal way."

"For the Ming Dynasty, the problem in Yunnan was not land annexation, but education."

"The Mu family did annex a large amount of land, which seems to have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but this is also caused by the current situation in Yunnan. If it cannot control enough land and power, it will not be able to suppress the entire Yunnan.

."

"Looking at the entire imperial court, it is meaningless no matter who is sent there. Only by guarding it forever and through generations of education can we slowly turn Yunnan into a territory belonging to the Ming Dynasty."

Today's Yunnan is actually no different from Tubo, the Western Regions, and Annan.

However, because of its geographical location, it had a great impact on the Ming Dynasty. Especially in the early Ming Dynasty, the remaining Mongolian nobles still thought of recruiting troops from Yunnan to counterattack the Ming Dynasty again.

If this were not the case, even Zhu Yuanzhang would treat him the same as Annan.

Educating Yunnan is easy to say, but the most important thing is the migration of a large number of people. You must know that the Ming Dynasty after the end of the Yuan Dynasty had few Han people, and there were many wastes waiting to be developed everywhere. A large number of people had to migrate there. For the Ming Dynasty itself,

Development has had an impact, but Zhu Yuanzhang still did it.

"Da Sun is right. Yunnan is very important to the Ming Dynasty, so we let Mu Ying guard it back then. We can rest assured of his loyalty."

"Mu Chun is also a good boy, obedient and sensible. He is also a red city for our Ming Dynasty."

"The matter of land annexation is not a big deal in Yunnan. It cannot be handled in the same way as the capital. This is something that Dasun has done very well."

"But the eldest grandson will not let him go like this all the time. We are no longer here at that time. He has some friendship with the Mu family. Don't go too far."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood very well that if a place was not dominated by Han people, it would be difficult for the imperial court to directly rule it.

Therefore, the Mu family now controls the military and political power of the entire Yunnan, and it is also Zhu Yuanzhang's instruction.

Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang killed so many corrupt officials, but the Yunnan area was barely touched. Going there felt almost like exile.

Various indigenous tribes may rebel at any time. This is a cultural difference and has nothing to do with the so-called oppression of the Mu family.

But Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that the current situation in Yunnan was not in line with Ming's expectations. For about ten or eight years, when the situation in Yunnan stabilized, the Mu family would not be what it is now.

Mu Ying has been following Zhu Yuanzhang since she was eight years old, much earlier than Prince Zhu Biao.

After raising her for so many years, and Mu Ying is really close to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, and is also very sensible and obedient, it is impossible to say that she has no feelings.

Zhu Yuanzhang also guessed that when the great sun started to regulate Yunnan, he was probably no longer around, so he added this sentence.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Mu Ying is like a son, even emotionally better than most sons.

Letting Mu Ying guard Yunnan is actually not much different from enfeoffing a vassal state.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't wait for the cunning rabbit to die and be cooked by the lackeys."

"Whether it is now or in the future, the Ming Dynasty needs a lot of talents. Ava, Menggen, Luchan, including Lancang, Lanna, Baiji and other countries behind it, these are the directions in which the Ming Dynasty can develop in the future."

"The cause of Ming Dynasty and the Mu family will not just stop in Yunnan, but will continue to develop forward."

When Zhu Ying said this, her tone was very firm.

He wanted to spread Ming Dynasty's culture to the world, and the first thing he wanted to do was create the entire Asian section.

In today's world, education has never been gentle.

Especially for the vast majority of ethnic groups, why should they give up their own beliefs and learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty?

Is the teaching of Ming Dynasty spread through mouth?

If someone really went there to preach or something like that, they would be regarded as heretics.

Even the Great Ancient Myth that Zhu Ying is currently preparing is just trying to open a breakthrough.

The only things that truly make others surrender and choose to submit are swords and cannons.

When they speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, they naturally become people of the Ming Dynasty.

"I really want to see the day when Great Sun dominates all nations. It will definitely be very exciting."

"Among all the dynasties in history, our Ming Dynasty will have the most vast territory and the most extensive people."

There was a hint of hope in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

He once had such a dream, but later slowly gave up.

Now he saw such hope in Dasun.

According to the current development situation, under Yu Dasun's rule, maybe in another thirty years, no, maybe only twenty years, he will be able to truly control more countries.

Put them into the same situation as Yunnan now.
