If Zhu Youxiao was not a time traveler, even if he were the emperor, he would not dare to think of touching them.
After all, in today's era, Confucius's influence and sense of sanctity are still higher than those of the emperor.
Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, is recognized as a holy place by scholars all over the world.
But towards the hundreds of thousands of suffering Han people in Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao could not be hard-hearted.
And once the old slave succeeds and allows him to obtain supplies, food, and a strong population, what is the point of delaying it for a year?
When the time comes to conquer Jianzhou, won't the Ming army have to pay greater casualties and costs?
And the odds of winning are not comparable today.
This is not giving yourself time to grow, but giving the boar skin a chance to breathe.
But even after figuring this out, Zhu Youxiao was still at his wits' end.
The national conditions and situation of the Ming Dynasty did not allow him to have his own dictatorship at this time.
But he still asked without giving up:
"Didn't I have a decree before that the tax revenue from Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces should be retained there for military use?"
"Why do you still need the Ministry of Accounts to pay for the silver reward and silver reward?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Cheng Guoxiang also cried with a mournful face and said: "Oh!"
"That's not enough, Your Majesty."
"The southwest is a barren land, and the She'an Rebellion has greatly damaged Guizhou's vitality. The people have trouble even having enough food to eat, so where are the taxes? Besides, didn't your Majesty exempt Guizhou from taxes for three years?"
"Although Sichuan and Yunnan are better than Guizhou, they are not as wealthy as the Jiangnan provinces."
"Moreover, there are countless mountains and jungles in the southwest, and the roads are mostly rugged."
"In order to support the Yunnan War, Governor Zhu Xieyuan mobilized more than 200,000 civilians in Sichuan and Yunnan to transport grain and medicinal materials needed by the army."
"In the southwestern provinces, we have reached the limit of what our human and material resources can achieve."
Hearing Cheng Guoxiang's answer, Zhu Youxiao could only sigh helplessly.
I also completely gave up my plan to send troops to Liaodong after the spring.
It's no different now than when he first took over.
The reason why he dared to lead his army across the Great Wall last year and go deep into the grasslands to attack Lin Dan Khan.
This is because at that time, the Ming Dynasty still had no problems, at least on the surface.
There are not so many natural disasters and there are not so many rebellions.
Now that the country is unstable, he really doesn't dare to leave the capital easily.
You know, Emperor Yingzong was killed in Tumubao because of this.
Before the Battle of Luchuan was over, Yingzong made an impromptu decision and led tens of thousands of troops to leave Beijing in a hurry to patrol the border. As a result, they were overthrown by coups and mutinies, and there was no place to cry.
Although more than a hundred years have passed, for Zhu Youxiao, this lesson is extremely profound.
It seems that Xiong Tingbi can only take more precautions and prepare to block Qi in front of the Liaoshen defense line when the wild boar skin moves south.
Just when he was about to adopt the suggestions of the ministers, a young eunuch shouted outside the palace:
"Good news from Yunnan."
Wang Chaofu has followed Zhu Youxiao for so long, so he naturally knows what the emperor is most concerned about.
He just turned his head and glanced at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. After receiving the signal, he ignored the gazes of the ministers and walked directly out of the palace.
Not long after, Chao Fu held a copy of the text and handed it to Zhu Youxiao respectfully.
After Zhu Youxiao read it, he burst into laughter.
The depression and unhappiness in my heart were immediately swept away.
Several ministers were confused. After looking at each other, Wang Xiangqian finally stood up and asked:
"Your Majesty, I wonder what this good news is about?"
"Everyone, Qin Liangyu has basically wiped out the rebellious chieftains and tribes. Those bandit leaders who gathered to cause rebellion have now become the target of our army."
"Qin Liangyu led the army to Yunnan for rest half a month ago."
"After this battle, the prestige of our Ming Dynasty in the southwest will reach its peak again, enough to deter those who harbor disloyal intentions."
After learning about the great victory in Yunnan, Wang Zaijin, the Minister of War, was the first to say with great joy:
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty."
"After this battle, the southwest will be free from worries for a hundred years."
"The Six Great Xuanwei Divisions in the Southwest will always be part of our territory of the Ming Dynasty. These rebels want to separate, it depends on how many heads they can kill."
The other ministers followed closely behind, congratulating each other in unison.
Zhu Youxiao said slightly sadly:
"Unfortunately, the only fly in the ointment is that the Duke of Guizhou contracted the miasma in the mountains during this battle and unfortunately passed away."
In fact, Zhu Youxiao had very complicated emotions regarding the passing of Mu Changzuo.
After all, he was also a meritorious minister, and the Mu family had been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations. It was a pity that he died like this.
Moreover, the situation in Indochina and Yunnan is extremely complicated, and there are estimated to be more than ten or twenty ethnic minorities.
Various customs and culture are completely different from Han culture.
Therefore, in order for the Ming Dynasty to implement effective control, it must have a minister or general with high prestige who can intimidate most people.
Then, taking advantage of the deterrent power of the Ming army's great victory, Han people were moved to live there, and then a large number of officials were sent to promote Han culture and the policy of returning natives to the locals.
After ten or twenty years like this, the large territory of Indochina will be completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty and inseparable, just like Yunnan when the People's Republic of China was first founded.
But what worried him was that the influence and control of Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan was too great, far more than that of the imperial court.
If you still rely on the Mu family to handle these things, then the Mu family may be able to directly separate itself and establish its own country.
After all, Yunnan is now actually a fiefdom belonging to the Mu family.
In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Taizu granted King Min the title of vassal of Yunnan, but it didn't take long for Muchun to impeach him.
Of course, King Min couldn't just let it go. He fought with the Mu family for more than ten years, but in the end he couldn't fight at all and was defeated. Later, he found Emperor Chengzu and said that he was no longer in Yunnan.
Chengzu had no choice but to move him back to the capital and then seal him in Wugang.
Even the vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty couldn't defeat the Mu family, so why not now?
I sent ordinary ministers and generals there, but I'm afraid they don't even know how to write the word "death".
In Zhu Youxiao's view, the best replacement candidate is Qin Liangyu.
First of all, he is also the leader of the chieftains. If he is used to guard Yunnan and lead the implementation of the policy of reforming the native land and returning it to the locals, the ethnic minorities will be more acceptable.
Nor will she resort to unlimited exploitation or violence to implement the New Deal.
And compared to loyalty, she must be even worse than the Mu family.
And she is very thoughtful and has some skills in the city. This time she even defeated Mu Changzuo and won a great victory as the general of the Southern Campaign.
Mu Changzuo has raised his braids again, which must be able to act as a check and balance.
But he couldn't say this on his own initiative, otherwise once the news got out, it would probably chill the hearts of the Mu family.
So he also went on to say:
"The number of our officers and soldiers who were killed and injured due to the miasma totaled more than 5,000, which is twice as many as those killed and wounded due to the war."
"You should discuss now what posthumous title should be given to Duke Qian. Since he died in this battle, who will take over the various garrison troops in Yunnan?"
"There are also military pay and silver rewards, how many officers and soldiers should be promoted according to military merit, and how to implement them. Let's get a charter today."
Putting down the rebellion in the Xuanwei Division, Zhu Youxiao felt a lot more at peace.
Except for some literati and gentry in Jiangnan provinces who are making trouble, there are actually no big problems.
At this time, the idea of conquering the slaves after the spring emerged in him again.
It seems that more time and energy should be spent on planning to destroy the Confucius family in Qufu.
Cui Yingyuan also needs to urge him to get people like Xu Hongru to cooperate in framing the Kong family as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter how careful his plan is, he still won't be able to take action.
PS:
The six Xuanwei Divisions in the Indochina Peninsula were established one after another after Mu Ying Lanyu captured Yunnan in the Hongwu Year. They have always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty and are under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province. They are not the so-called Jisi areas, but the real territory of the Ming Dynasty.
It’s just that there are many ethnic minorities in the local area, and their customs and culture are strange and different from the Han people. Moreover, the Han people are too rare. The Ming Dynasty has not vigorously promoted the Sinicization policy, so it is a state of autonomy in the Ming Dynasty.
I don’t need to say much about the meaning of autonomy. There are still many places in our country that are autonomous.
As mentioned before, She Chongming in Guizhou and Yang Yinglong in Bozhou during the Wanli period are all the same. They belong to autonomous ethnic minority areas and are called Tusi.
Including the Jianzhou Guards, the same is true. What is Wild Boar Skin? Wild Boar Skin is the same chieftain leader as Qin Liangyu, Yang Yinglong, and She Chongming, but he succeeded in his rebellion. It's that simple.
I hope everyone can have a correct understanding of these. If someone is trying to quarrel with you, just ask him whether Liaodong belongs to the Ming Dynasty, because Liaodong has only one military agency and no administrative agency. There is also no chief envoy and secretary.
This is done by the inspector general.
It's just that because there are frequent wars in the north, troops are stationed all year round. There are also official positions such as governor of Liaodong and manager of Liaodong. They were all established in the middle and late Ming Dynasty when Liaodong was often wary. In the Chongzhen year, there were also governors and supervisors.
Liaodong is under the jurisdiction of Shandong and has the same nature as Sanxuan and Liuwei.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the six major Xuanwei Divisions in Indochina also had many garrisons. Mu Ying, Mu Chun, and Mu Sheng would go to sweep away these chieftains from time to time.
After decades of rule, those places were relatively peaceful, so the Ming Dynasty abolished many of the garrison, leaving only a few garrison posts in Yunnan.
Otherwise, do you think that after the Ming Dynasty had been dead for decades, why did Emperor Yongli still dare to run south? To a place as deep as Myanmar?
Because it was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Tianbo dared to take him there.
As for being betrayed later, it was entirely because Wu Sangui came over and Burma had no choice but to betray him.
The Xuanfu Division, the Xuanwei Division, and the Commanding Division are all serious military organizations of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Qin Liangyu, whom everyone knows more about, is the commander of the Shizhu Xuanfu Division. Who dares to say that Qin Liangyu is not?
The ministers and generals of the Ming Dynasty?
The reason why I want to note this point is that the current Internet is too dark and full of evil. Mangou is in control. The author can only do his best. I hope everyone can have a clear understanding and don't be brainwashed by Mangou.
, let alone read the history of marketing accounts on such places as a certain website.
