To be honest, the imperial court had expected the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou. Officials from both places had submitted reports one after another several months ago, but it was obvious that they had underestimated its scale.
This resulted in a bit of a rush. After all, it was a remote area in the southwest with steep terrain and dense mountains and forests, so the deployment of troops and generals was slow, but it was somewhat deliberate.
I just wanted to see how many people with ulterior motives would jump out. Otherwise, the southwestern army could have been dispatched a few months earlier to cooperate with the local guards to calm the trouble before it arose.
As expected, many people or forces were involved in this matter, but they were restrained and kept very secretive. They also knew that with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it was inevitable that the rebellion would be put down.
It's just that due to the policy pressure of Yang Siyi's immigration policy, if we don't start an uprising and create a blood feud at this time when the public resentment is the most boiling, after the people have settled down and have children and grandchildren, there will really be no chance again.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Quan Xu: "We must investigate carefully and comprehensively. We must not let anyone go. We must finish the troubles caused by the three provinces in one battle!"
"promise!"
He still trusted Quanxu Lao Zhu. He nodded with satisfaction and then stroked his beard and said: "Hey, I didn't expect this guy Ming Sheng to be so safe and sound."
"This move you made, Biao'er, is very clever. There is no chaos in Shu, and there won't be any big waves in those two areas. But we can wait and see for a while longer."
"Send an order to Mingsheng to guard the border. There is no need for him to lead troops to quell the rebellion, but he is not allowed to allow a single rebel to enter Shu. Send an order to the Governor's Office to immediately mobilize guards from the southwest to block the road from Yunnan-Guizhou to Huguang. Send an order to Mu Ying
, hold on to the important transportation town, suspend the troops, and pass the order..."
Most of the leaders of the rebels were chieftain slaves. What they hated most was not the Han people, but the chieftains who had a blood feud. Song Mongolia, a fellow governor of Xuanwei in Guizhou who had come to meet the Ming Dynasty, was caught by them and tortured alive for several days.
In this way, as long as the rebellion can be limited to two provinces, they will be shooting themselves in the foot. However, in this way, the Ming Dynasty's establishment in the two provinces in the past few years will be completely destroyed, except for the big cities and important towns.
If it can still be preserved, the rest of the prefectures and counties will have to start over from scratch.
Then he took out the memorial written by Haixi Hou Naha, the right commander of the rear army of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Ronglu, and gave him the approval with his lips pursed, asking him to go to Guizhou to serve as a consolation envoy and Pingzhang political affairs officer, which is the power of a feudal official.
Again, in this period of the Ming Dynasty, except for Wu Xun's rebellion, which was fatal, nothing else was enough to shake the foundation of this country.
His political inclination was very clear, and most people in the court could see it. For the sake of his being sensible, Lao Zhu did not continue to torment Naha.
There was a big fuss, but now the head was placed in front of Zhu Biao.
And today's grassland khan Yesudi'er is a descendant of Ali Buge, and he married a wife of the Wala clan. Therefore, he hates Hongji Labu very much, so Hongji Labu naturally attached himself to the Ming Dynasty and diligently served the Ming Dynasty.
Play your own role.
The in-laws of the Hongji La tribe are spread all over the grasslands, especially the marriages with Kublai Khan. They are passed down from generation to generation. Any tribe with a little strength on the grassland is proud to bring their cattle and sheep treasures to marry a wife of the Hong Ji La tribe.
They would only avoid the powerful local wealthy families, including those chieftains with certain military strength. Although they were strong, they were weak compared to the Ming army. In short, they must have taken advantage of the weak and feared the strong to the extreme.
The Yunnan-Guizhou rebellion lasted for more than half a year. At its peak, it was said to have 800,000 soldiers. The leader of the rebels was originally a chieftain slave. Once he gained power, he was known as the King of Change. He used the name of expelling the Han people to abolish the slaves and divide the land, and divided the land between the two provinces.
Rushing to the right, he even wanted to break through the siege and sweep across Jiangnan to attack the capital.
The former Shuixi chieftain of the Yi people, Longzan Aqi, was naturally responsible for such a huge rebellion, but he was only demoted a few levels. Shuixi was very calm this time and did not participate in the rebellion, but
The losses this time are not small either.
………
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and added a few suggestions. Lao Zhu waved his hand slightly, and Liu Jin, who had just returned, went out to deliver the edict again. As each detail was completed, the important officials in the court quickly understood the Tian family father and son.
The plan was coordinated more smoothly.
Later, at night, most of the skin on his body was peeled off, wrapped in linen, and soaked in an oil tank. After quickly pulling him out, he was tied to a very tall wooden pole from head to toe and set on fire from his feet.
Its screams are as terrifying as those of ghosts and monsters.
The most interesting thing is that the rebel leader who tortured him in this way was actually a so-called confidant whom he personally installed.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned back to his son and said: "There is no need to calculate those trivial matters in detail. We are not merchants doing business. There are too many barbarians in the two provinces. Just relying on immigration to fill the gap will not achieve results in a hundred years."
It can be seen that it is an unwise decision to let go of the noose and give it to the beast with sharp teeth and claws.
"As long as there are fewer Yi people and more Han people, any kind of organizational structure will be a matter of course. Otherwise, with small rebellions every few years and major rebellions every few decades, our Ming Dynasty's military strength will have to be dragged down in the southwest."
I wrote a thick stack and asked Quan Xu to arrange for someone to send it away. All that was left was a mess. Fortunately, Daming was very experienced in cleaning up messes. It was just a farce for half a year.
For those who are interested, this kind of rebellion can be controlled in a fashion, but when it develops to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, it will be completely out of control, and they will not go head-to-head with the Ming army according to their wishes.
In the end, Zhu Biao let go. Naha turned out to be an old fox. When he came to the Ming Dynasty, he was keenly aware of the hidden contradictions in the court. He clearly separated himself from Hu Weiyong and the martial artists. He spent all day having fun in the amusement park given by Zhu Biao.
Communicate with the subordinates of the East Palace.
I personally wrote letters and won over several powerful tribes on the grassland for the Ming Dynasty. Obviously, even if I haven't set foot on the grassland for many years, the blood of the Muhuali descendants of the Zhala Yi'er family under the command of Genghis Khan in Mongolia is still very prestigious.
.
Liu Jin carefully noted down and left as promised, while Zhu Biao frowned slightly. In fact, according to his plan, he was preparing to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, but now it seems that his father felt that there were too many barbarians in those two provinces.
Thinking of letting them internalize themselves.
Of course, Zhu Biao also has a share of credit for this. He has welcomed Zhula, the youngest daughter of the Hongjira tribe leader, as the crown prince Liangyuan. If she is considered, most of the noble leaders on the grassland can be called
Brother-in-law.
Therefore, Zhu Biao hesitated while holding this memorial. Will Nahachu dare to counterattack?
For Nahachu who dedicated his life to Liaodong, the title of Marquis of Haixi was undoubtedly low, but he knew that the events in the past made Lao Zhu a little concerned, so he did not complain at all, but was very positive.
After looking at it from a distance, Zhu Biao was not interested in saying anything to a dead head. He waved his hand and asked someone to take it away, and then immersed himself in writing a secret letter to Ming Sheng Mu Ying and Yang Siyi.
The Ming Dynasty, which expelled the Meng Yuan and recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun, and rebuilt the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, was filled with confidence in war from top to bottom. The warriors sharpened their swords day and night, eagerly looking forward to going to the battlefield to claim merit.
Lord.
It's really hard to calculate the pros and cons, so Zhu Biao didn't express his thoughts immediately, but the fact that he didn't agree immediately showed his attitude.
"promise."
Otherwise, in the beginning, he would often be called into the palace to make sarcastic remarks, which was very petty, and Naha could only laugh with him again and again, finally allowing him to let go of his anger.
The vacancies in power and positions in Guizhou are very greedy. The vacancies for the feudal officials are like a carrot and a pit. The last time the vacancy in Shuzhong was taken over by Ming Sheng, it caused widespread resentment.
Even the subordinates of Dong Palace are like this. Not everyone can understand that it is not easy to be a king and take into account the overall situation. They only know how to complain and complain. Fortunately, Ming Sheng strives for success. When everyone thinks that he will take advantage of this opportunity to make some changes, he holds on.
For the sake of my duty as a minister, I earned face for Zhu Biao.
