In the Qianqing Palace, Prince Zhu Biao was the first to say that he would send Jin Yiwei to the southwest chieftain's territory to investigate the situation.
Xie Jin couldn't help but raised his head in astonishment and glanced at the imperial prince who was known for his kindness more than 20 years ago.
He felt that all the rhetoric he had thought about on the way from Wenyuan Pavilion had been wasted.
The prince didn't follow his own ideas at all. After some lobbying, he had no choice but to agree to send out the royal guards.
Xie Jin felt that he could not keep up with the prince's pace, so he glanced sideways at Zhu Yunxi who was standing next to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands together and silently faced Xie Jin's confused eyes.
It was a bit funny in my heart.
The world only knew that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was famous for his kindness, but they never knew that this Crown Prince was ruthless at heart.
How many people are there in Jinyiwei today?
After Zhu Yunxi returned to Beijing from the Northern Expedition, he browsed through it roughly.
After excluding those royal guards who were given as rewards to the children of civil and military officials in the court, the final real number was quite considerable.
But no one knows now how many times the current commander of the Jinyiwei, Jiang Yu, secretly enjoyed himself at home.
Zhu Biao didn't speak to Jin for a long time, so he raised his head with some confusion on his face: "Does Xie Ge think that more people should be sent? Then let Zhang Hui, the Jin Yiwei man, take the people down to investigate."
Jie Jin felt that his cerebellum was shrinking crazily.
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Zhang Hui was promoted from the imperial prison. I remember that he was the official of the Hundred Households of the Imperial Guard. After returning from the Northern Expedition, he was promoted to the official of the Thousand Households. Let's take charge of Fusi in Beizhen for the time being.
He is a man who has seen the world, is capable, and dares to fight hard. Let him take the people south to see for himself, and Gu and the imperial court can trust him.
Even if there were any dangers, he would probably be able to deal with them appropriately without provoking the court to find another way.
Just him."
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Biao obviously tilted his head and glanced at his son standing next to him.
Zhu Yunxi understood.
The prince's father knew clearly that Zhang Hui was the one in his circle, and when he looked at him, he was asking for his opinion.
Zhu Yunxi nodded immediately: "There is nothing going on in Beijing now. Commander Chiang Kai-shek is also in charge of Zhili Road, so there won't be any problems. Zhang Hui has experience and, as his father said, he is also a capable person. My father chose him. He is the right candidate.”
"Then it's settled, let him set off today. The Southwest Chieftain's problem has been going on for many years, and it's time to sort it out thoroughly."
Zhu Biao spoke loudly, his last gaze focused on Xie Jin.
Jie Jin's lips twitched before he spoke softly: "I accept your order."
Zhu Biao raised his head and glanced at Xie Jin, nodded and said: "Go, winter is coming soon, Xie Ge still needs to pay more attention to his health."
This is the prince in my impression, and everything is heart-warming.
Xie Jin hummed: "I thank Your Highness for your concern, and I will take my leave."
After finishing speaking, Xie Jin carefully raised his hands and retreated to the palace door, then turned around and left.
Zhu Biao kept silently watching Xie Jin who was retreating. He didn't sigh softly until the other party disappeared from sight.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at his father silently, wondering why the other man sighed like this.
Zhu Biao explained directly: "Xie Jin is too cautious now, which is completely different from the past. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing..."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, picked up the ink pen that had been put aside, and carefully reviewed the state memorials that had not been processed previously.
Zhu Yunxi still stood aside, frowning slightly, thinking about what his father just said about Xie Jin.
What was Xie Jin’s past like?
From what I know, Xie Jin in the past was unruly, knowledgeable, and an edgy court official.
So is Jie Jin today the same as in the past?
Zhu Yunxi shook his head silently.
No one stays the same.
Even Jie Jin is the same.
After he has been in charge of the cabinet for so long, he will inevitably weigh the pros and cons when doing things and think about how to deal with everyone in front of him.
Including His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This is a good thing and a bad thing.
But overall, Xie Jin has not changed his original intention, which is still a good thing.
Just when Zhu Yunxi was thinking about the changes in people's hearts.
Zhu Biao suddenly said: "It would be better to completely smooth out the southwest as early as possible. It can no longer be measured in hundreds of years. The transformation must be faster. More people should be sent down to keep an eye on it. As long as flaws are found, we can take advantage of them."
The change of Tuguiliu will make the Ming Dynasty only have local magistrates and local magistrates, and there will no longer be hereditary local magistrates and local magistrates."
There was a hint of sharpness on the prince's face, leaving no room for others to argue.
Obviously, in Zhu Biao's mind, this matter has already been concluded.
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he couldn't hear any movement in his ears, so he turned his head and frowned at his son who was still stunned, and couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Are you listening?"
"Huh?" Zhu Yunxi hummed for a moment, then bowed and nodded, and whispered: "What father said is absolutely true."
Zhu Biao's expression became ambiguous, as if he was considering whether his son, whom he had brought to his side today to learn how his fathers governed the country, had wandered off.
Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment and continued: "Now our territory is increasing frequently, and the territory thousands of miles south of Guangxi Road and Yunnan Road has been transformed into our imperial county. In this way, the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan areas have become inland, and there is no such thing as the past.
A talk about the frontier.
Under such circumstances, if the chieftains of the southwest were located on the border, it would seem a bit inappropriate to focus on appeasement even if there was chaos.
And since it is an inland country like the Central Plains, both local people and local officials should also be treated as the Central Plains."
Such an answer made Zhu Biao very satisfied.
Firstly, it is because my son is absent from class and secondly, because his son agrees with me.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This can be regarded as the unity of father and son.
Zhu Biao thought of this for no reason.
He turned around and said quietly: "Among the barbarians in the southwest, there are the seedlings of the Yu family, Guifang of the Shang family, Yelang, Mimo, Qiong, Zhuo, Bo and Cuan of the Western Han Dynasty.
From the east of Ba and Kui to Hu, Xiang and Lingqiao, they stretch for thousands of miles and have different types.
Throughout the ages, I have always looked after you.
Originally he was a servant of the dynasty. Since the Mengjin Conference during the reign of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, all the barbarians from Yong, Shu, Qiang, Kuai, Wei, Lu, Peng and Pu all joined Yan.
When Chuzhuang passed the throne to King Yunnan, the Qin Dynasty opened a five-foot road and installed officials. Along with the Han Dynasty, it installed Duwei and county subordinates, and still ordered them to protect themselves. This is the beginning of the local officials and local officials."
Zhu Yunxi moved his steps, got himself a futon, and sat next to Zhu Biao, listening to the other person telling him about the origin of southwestern toast.
At this time, Zhu Biao changed the topic and said coldly: "The story of my dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty was greatly expanded. I divided the prefectures, prefectures and counties, and paid taxes and servitude. Listen to my instructions, and the law has begun to be prepared.
But the way lies in restraint.
He has a good surname and has accumulated prestige in the world, but he must pretend to be my title, rank, and favor, so he can easily become the commander-in-chief, so he runs around just to follow his orders.
However, the dispatches became more and more numerous, the changes occurred due to urgency, and the intrusion became deeper and deeper due to the merits and mistakes of the father and mother. Therefore, the conquests were carried out in successive dynasties, with equal benefits and harms.
The key is to win over people through Fusui and use both kindness and power to gain their vitality without causing trouble.
But now..."
At the end, Zhu Biao's voice paused, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Zhu Yunxi immediately straightened his waist, looking like a good student.
Zhu Biao looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "The world has changed, and the grace and power of Fusui is no longer useful. It should be changed."
"Father wants to use troops in the southwest to force the country to return to its homeland?"
Zhu Yunxi understood the meaning of the prince's father's words, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he felt that this was the prince of the Ming Dynasty that he knew.
Zhu Biao nodded and snorted coldly: "In the past, our dynasty competed with the Chen bandits. The Chen bandits occupied the lakes and Hunan provinces, exploiting them for profit and using them as soldiers.
Hunan, Guwu County, is also in central Guizhou. Its Shizhouwei and Yongbao Tusi territories are located between Yue, Chen, and the west of Changde, bordering Ba and Kui in the east of Sichuan, and leading to Qianyang in the south. The creek cave is deeply blocked.
, easy for bandits to steal, and became very popular in the late Yuan Dynasty.
At that time, all the seedlings were doing their best, and there were people begging for soldiers and driving them around the stronghold, and the Chen thieves took this to their advantage."
This is talking about old things with Chen Youliang before the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said in a low voice: "My grandpa received the blessing of God, won the hearts of the people, and received civil and military help. He attacked the Chen bandits at Panyang Lake and defeated Wuchang. Then all the counties in Hunan surrendered. It was established in the Yuan Dynasty.
Xuanwei, appeasement, and the subordinates of the chief ministers all welcomed the surrender one after another. Grandpa thought that when the dynasty was first established and the Yuan thieves were not exhausted, he conferred it with the original official, but he did not expect that up to now, the southwestern divisions are still repeated. "
"It's just a matter of one fight. If one fight isn't enough, fight a few more!"
Zhu Shou's demeanor was calm, but murderous.
He chuckled and said: "In the third year of Hongwu, Cili's pacifying envoy Qin Yu joined forces with the barbarians to invade and cause rebellion. The imperial court sent Zhou Dexing as the general to conquer the south to quell the rebellion.
In the fifth year of Hongwu's reign, the imperial court ordered Deng Yu to be the general to conquer the south. He led his troops to pacify San Mao and other southwestern chieftains' thirty-six caves. The deputy general Wu Liang also defeated Wu Kai, and the barbarians in Guzhou totaled 223 caves, and their territory was changed. There were 15,000 civilians, and more than 4,500 scattered soldiers were collected to level the land.
In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Wu Mian'er rebelled against the barbarians of the Five Dynasties, and the momentum was very strong. Your imperial grandfather appointed your sixth uncle as the commander, and Xin Guogong Tang He as the general who conquered the captives. He killed the barbarians in Jiuxi and captured more than 40,000 people. People, all the seedlings in the southwest are terrified."
These were all large-scale military operations carried out by the Ming Dynasty against the southwestern chieftains.
Zhu Yunxi just never thought that the prince's father would remember it so clearly.
But I heard Zhu Biao say again: "Not to mention that in the fourth year of Hongwu, Cao Liangchen, the Marquis of Xuanning, led his troops to capture Sangzhi. Rongmei Dongyuan, Shi Nandao, Xuanwei envoy, Tan Dasheng, defeated his younger brother Dawang, deputy Xuanwei, Tan Daxing, and Guangbaozi replied Gu and others all came to the court to accept the golden tiger talisman awarded by Yuan Dynasty. They ordered the Xuanwei Division of Shizhou to be the third rank of subordinates, and the chief officials of Dongxiang to be the sixth rank of official officials.
In the fourteenth year, Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, moved to collect all the water sources, reach the level of the pagoda, disperse the hairy caves, and set up the Shizhou Guard Military and Civilian Command and Envoy Department.
In the fifteenth year, Shi Nan Xuanfu Division was established and placed under the jurisdiction of Shizhou Wei.
In the seventeenth year, the hair was scattered, and the son of Qin Yewang, who was in charge of appeasement along the border, came to court and ordered him to be the minister of this department.
In the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Liang, Duke Lanyu of the State of Liang captured Sanmaodong and provoked the chief Qin Dawang and more than 10,000 people. He set up a residence for thousands of military and civilian households in Datian and placed it under the Shizhou Guards."
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh a little at this time.
In the past few years, people only knew that the Ming Dynasty used troops on nine sides. In recent years, they only know that the imperial court marched eastward and southward. However, few people know that from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present Hongwu 29th year, it has been going on almost every moment. There is a war going on.
In the high mountains of the southwest, he fought with the chieftains who were unwilling to obey the imperial court.
Prosperity and prosperity were only limited to the homeland of the Central Plains.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly changed his eyes at this time: "What my father said here was the old story of the chieftains of Huguang Road, but he never mentioned the chieftains of Sichuan Road, Guangxi Road, Yunnan Road and Guizhou Dusi. Could it be that my father wanted to use Huguang as the first to break the situation? point?"
In an instant, Zhu Yunxi stood up and found a copy of Southwest Kanyu from a corner.
Kanyu covers several routes in the southwest.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Kanyu, starting from Dongting Lake and advancing toward the southwest inch by inch.
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "If you want to use military strategy to manage the Southwest Chieftains, you must first use Huguang as a breakthrough point.
Huguang occupies the northern tip of the southwest. Yuezhou Prefecture, Changde Prefecture, Changsha Prefecture, Jingzhou Prefecture, and Wuchang Prefecture in the Dongting area are now the places where grain is produced. The troops and horse equipment of the commander of Huguang Road are local military households, and they are familiar with Huguang. Topography, humanities and customs.
Using the food from Huguang Road as military rations and the troops and horses of the Huguang Road Dusi as the main force, we can march to Yongshun, Baojing, Sizhou, Sinan, Guzhou, Wukai and other places in the southwest to make a cheap march.
If you go to Huguang Ding, you can go here for food, pass through Baoqing Prefecture, Yongzhou Prefecture, go south to Guangxi Road to Guilin Prefecture, Pingle Prefecture, and Ding Guangxi Road Tusi. You can also go west to Sichuan Road from Huguang Road to Shizhou, Ding Shizhu, Youyang, Changguan, etc. The chieftain then marched westward to the capital of Guizhou, and attacked with the commander of the capital of Sichuan from the east and west.
If Yunnan Dao and Guangxi Dao soldiers enter the border and block the opening, they can encircle and suppress most of the chieftain forces in the southwest."
Zhu Biao, who had long been confident and had a plan in his mind, told the southwestern chieftain in one breath his plan to force the southwestern chieftain to return to his native land with troops.
Then he took a deep breath, picked up the teacup in front of him, and drank a full glass of water.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Biao blinked and looked at his son in front of him who seemed to have been dumbfounded.
A smile appeared on his face: "What do you think of this strategy for your father?"
Zhu Yunxi was a little stunned.
More than how.
He simply has the military power and the world in mind.
I have always believed that the reform of the southwestern chieftains should be done slowly, step by step, and nibbling away bit by bit.
Transform one place, and then use it as a leverage point to continue to transform the next place.
In Zhu Yunxi's plan, this matter must at least continue from the old man's hands to his own.
And what does the prince father in front of him think and what is he going to do?
Their direct backhand was to include the entire southwestern Huguang Road, Sichuan Road, Guangxi Road, Yunnan Road, and Guizhou Dusi. These four roads and one Dusi were included.
In those words, countless people in these five places were about to have their legs broken, and even more so, the soldiers on the front line were about to risk their lives and forcibly return to their homeland.
Seeing that his son was really dumbfounded, Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh, looking very happy.
