Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 249 You Are The Dali Duan Family? (unrepaired)

There is nothing to say about the battle situation in Yunnan. With the help of King Liang, there is hardly any city that survived to the end.

Immediately after Da Ming's army arrived at the gate, they raised their hands and surrendered, and opened the door to welcome Da Ming's army.

And when Daming destroyed Beiyuan's defenders in a destructive manner, captured all Beiyuan troops, and regained their homeland, the Duan family in Dali still had the last sliver of luck.

That is, after Da Ming has dealt with King Liang, he might come to recruit them.

Let them retain their status as kings of Dali, just like Bei Yuan did to them back then.

So the Dali Duan family is actually not in a panic. During this time, they have been arranging people to contact Liao Wang Zhu Qi.

Naturally, it was impossible for Liao King Zhu Qi to personally meet the envoys from the Duan family in Dali.

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the Dali Duan family is absolutely not allowed to exist.

These days, only the descendants of the Zhu family can claim the title of king. Wouldn't it be a mess if other people were called the king?
Zhu Yuanzhang and Bei Yuan are absolutely different. What he wants is not only the unity of form, but also the unity of real power.

Therefore, the Dali Duan family must not be kept, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to persecute the Dali Duan family.

As long as the Dali Duan family is willing to hand over the land and give up Dali, then Zhu Yuanzhang is also willing to spare their lives.

It is also possible to let them continue to be officials in Dali, or to be officials in the court.

But this kind of thing can't be said to the Dali Duan family now, they must be stabilized first, so that they don't send troops to help King Liang.

On the Yunnan side, it only took less than two months, and those Ming generals who were as fast as driving a train had already occupied the entire territory of Yunnan.

The plateau area next to Yunnan had already been captured by Xu Da, so naturally there were no reinforcements to support them.

As for the countries behind Yunnan like Champa Annan, it is naturally impossible to come to support them.

They are all younger brothers of Daming, and they may not say anything about being the leader of Daming, but at least they dare not come to help Bei Yuan with anything.

You must know that Bei Yuan's current main strength is already on the grasslands in the north. Even if they yell at Bei Yuan, they will not take any revenge.

But if Daming is offended, then the army is in sight.

So when Zhu Qi saw that all the cities and places in Yunnan were occupied by the Ming army.

Immediately, he invited Mrs. Duan from Dali to Kunming for a simple meal, and by the way, discussed how to deal with Yunnan's problems in the future.

For the Dali Duan family, they naturally thought that His Royal Highness King Liao was going to incorporate them into the ranks of the Ming court and make them a Dali king or something.

But Zhu Qi has no such plan at all.

Basically everything has been dealt with in Yunnan, and in Kunming Zhu Qi has also moved the base camp.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to manage Yunnan's affairs, it is natural to go to the place where Kunming, the center of Yunnan's government affairs, is located.

The first thing to do after arriving in Kunming is naturally to deal with the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in Kunming, so as to enhance the status of Daming in the hearts of ordinary people in Kunming.

Only when the people's hearts are up, can Daming be able to gain a foothold in Yunnan, and Zhu Qi is still very clear about this.

The other is to reorganize the administrative organization, which requires a large number of grassroots officials to be devolved to various places. As for the original administrative organization of Beiyuan, it is natural that all of them must be replaced, and none will be left behind.

What's wrong with Beiyuan? All kinds of corruption are already commonplace in Yurou Township.

If you keep these corrupt officials, will the common people still think that your court can be saved?

Of course not, the new court will have a new look, and naturally none of the original officials will be left behind.

These administrative matters are also very difficult to deal with.

Originally, if Liu Bowen was by his side, it would help a little, but Zhu Qi could relax a bit, but Liu Bowen is not by his side now.

When Zhu Qi went to Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow him to bring Liu Bowen with him.

So now Zhu Qi is facing a very serious problem, he has a lot of generals around him, but Wen Cheng doesn't have many.

Although a person like Li Jinglong has read a lot, it is obviously not good for him to handle government affairs.

After all, he was born as a military general in his family, and he has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child. He has a lot of research in martial arts, but he has little experience in governance.

These naturally cannot rely on Li Jinglong's words, but Liu Bowen's words are the best choice.

It's just that Liu Bowen is getting old, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't name Liu Bowen under his own name.

Naturally, I was embarrassed to go to Zhu Yuanzhang for Liu Bowen, the No. 1 figure. You must know that Liu Bowen's reputation among the people is very large.

Of course, the main reason is that Zhu Qi wanted Liu Bowen to spend his old age in peace, and Liu Bowen himself thought that it would be better to have less than one more thing.

So these government affairs can only be handled by herself. Fortunately, Xu Miaoyun has been familiar with the history of government affairs since she was a child, so she can help.

Although women can't do politics, they are only emperors. He is a prince but not an emperor. It is understandable to ask the concubine to help with government affairs.

So Zhu Qi didn't have any psychological burden, so he simply took Xu Miaoyun over and made him his little secretary.

Anyway, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Yunnan for a while, at least I have to stay for half a year to stabilize the situation.

It was not easy to bring a few wives with me during the war before, but now that the war is over, it is natural to want a family reunion.

The news that Zhu Qi had brought Xu Miaoyun to Kunming had just been sent to Yingtian Mansion, and the other two wives were not happy about it.

Although they were all pregnant with Liujia, they have all practiced martial arts. Needless to say, their physical condition is very good.

They also wanted to accompany Zhu Qi in Kunming, and Zhu Qi nodded after thinking about it.

Anyway, pregnant women have to move around. There are troops to protect them along the way, and there is not much traffic.

That's the good thing about being royal, everything is top notch, even the carriages.

So Zhu Qi asked them all to come, accompanied by his three wives, he probably wouldn't be too lonely in Yunnan.

Now that a helper has been found, but before the helper comes, he still has to do it himself.

Therefore, living in Kunming for the past few days and dealing with government affairs day and night, it can be said that he is much more diligent than when he was in Liao.

But the most important thing is naturally to persuade the Dali Duan clan to surrender.

Now the whole of Yunnan has been recovered by the Ming Dynasty, and the only place that has not yet been controlled by the Ming Dynasty is the territory of Dali.

Since Dali was out of control during the Tang Dynasty, it has experienced so many troubled times, and it has never returned to the unified dynasty of the Song Dynasty.

Just when Bei Yuan was still strong, it returned to the embrace of China.

It's just that the Dali Duan family has always been the controller and manager of the land in Dali.

Naturally, it was impossible for Daming to allow the Duan clan to continue to control the land of Dali, so Zhu Qi invited the Duan clan of Dali's now so-called King of Dali to Kunming for a banquet.

Zhu Qi's letter to him naturally did not mention the matter of persuading him to surrender, but only said that Daming had a reward to give him, and let him come to Kunming to meet him, the king of Liao.

The king of Dali saw it very clearly, knowing that Daming didn't intend to harm him deliberately.

If he really wanted to fight Dali Duan, he would have done it long before.

Instead of attacking King Liang without taking action against Dali, it means that Daming still has a hand in Dali Duan's family.

And after seeing Daming's devastating fighting power, it can be said that the Dali Duan family has no sense of resistance.

How could it be possible?

Daming is so big, even if they grind themselves, they can grind themselves to death.

What's more, now that Ming's military power is so strong, the once powerful Yuan Dynasty is not worth mentioning in front of Daming.

So the King of Dali agreed to come to Kunming without even thinking about it, and he didn't waste much time talking.

And this King of Dali is a middle-aged man in his 40s, named Duan Qingyu.

There is no record of this name in history, but Zhu Qi felt that this person was somewhat similar to the Duan family in Tianlong Babu.

Yushu Linfeng looks quite handsome, but compared to his little fresh meat, this middle-aged uncle in his 40s is still a lot worse.

In terms of appearance, Zhu Qi is still very confident.

And this Duan Qingyu kowtowed immediately after seeing Liao King Zhu Qi.

Then he called Qiansui directly to His Royal Highness King Liao.

Zhu Qi was also unceremonious, and waved to him to signal him not to be too polite.

But he was still asked to kneel and perform all the rituals before someone helped him up.

Although things like kneeling and saluting are feudal scum, but now that he is a prince in Daming, these etiquettes should naturally be followed.

Otherwise, it would be brain-dead. If he wanted to change these feudal etiquettes, Zhu Qi would not be so interested. After all, there are more important things that need to be done by himself.

What's more, now he needs Duan Qingyu's surrender, otherwise how would he deal with the affairs of the Duanshi family.

Duan Qingyu had already heard about the name of Liao King Zhu Qi long ago, and now he saw Liao King Zhu Qi, a young and promising young man, unexpectedly so calm and composed, without the slightest look of panic.

He also knew that this young man was just as powerful as in the legend, so he didn't dare to show the slightest neglect or contempt, so he saluted immediately and then got down to business.

It's the so-called business, since it's a matter of surrender.

It is impossible for the Duan family in Dali to resist, so is there any other way to go besides surrender?
You can't wait for Daming to call, so Duan Qingyu quickly sent a map of the whole territory of Dali, as well as various livelihood classics and documents, etc.

These things are all convenient for the Ming Dynasty to make books and rule, but the most important thing is that the Duan family of Dali gave up the right to rule over the Ming Dynasty. This matter is indeed not mentioned at all.

Zhu Qi knew what Duan Qingyu was thinking, so he didn't play charades with him. After the two of them sat down at the wine table, they didn't drink much wine, and just went out as much as they ate. Someone announced to him that Daming had a good relationship with them. His grace and treatment.

Zhu Yuanzhang has already sent an imperial decree. The so-called favor is to grant Duan Qingyu, the family leader of the Duan family in Dali, to the central court to be an official of the Ministry of Rites, and to eat the iron rice bowl of a public servant.

But there is also a requirement, that is, the Daduan family must leave the land of Dali.

It is no longer possible to continue to rule this territory like it was in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the local officials of Daming will also arrange to rule in Dali.

Duan Qingyu was naturally prepared, so when he heard about this matter, he suddenly turned masculine and said to Zhu Qi.

His Royal Highness Liao Wang, it is not that we are unwilling to surrender and accept this condition.

In fact, our Duan family has ruled Dali for too long. If we are allowed to withdraw now, there will be great chaos.

Please also talk to the emperor about your highness, follow what Beiyuan did, let me continue to rule Dali, I will definitely be able to manage it well, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty will not have the slightest worry.

The meaning of these words is very obvious, Dali Duan does not want to give up his status as the king of Dali.

If you give up the position of King of Dali, then it is better to resist to the end, but Duan Qingyu only thought about this idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to really put it forward.

As for asking him to fight against the Ming army against the Ming court, he naturally did not dare. Just when he entered Kunming and saw the Ming army who looked like heavenly soldiers and generals, he had already lost his courage.

Zhu Qi also didn't say much, his face turned cold and he only said one sentence.

"If you don't kowtow and surrender immediately and give up your status as the elder king, this king can assure you with certainty.

When this king sees you next time, it will be the day to take your head, and you Dali Duan Clan, I, Da Ming, will definitely not leave a single person alive. "

Good guy, even Liang Wang would not dare to threaten Duan Qingyu like this.

After all, King Liang still pointed at the Dali Duan family who worked for him.

It's a pity that Duan Qingyu didn't sacrifice his life for King Liang, and now King Liang has been eliminated.

Bei Yuan didn't even have the strength to control him anymore. The entire Duan family in Dali was left with meat on the knife board, so naturally they could deal with it as they wanted.

And Zhu Qi did not shy away from such a threat. Although Duan Qingyu was angry in his heart, he also knew that what His Royal Highness King Liao said was true.

Such a young man can really do such a thing, and Duan Qingyu didn't hesitate for long, and immediately sighed, knowing that the general situation is over, and there is no place to deliberately violate the change.

In this way, Zhu Qi persuaded the Dali Duan family to join Daming without any effort.

Let them give up their status as King of Dali, as for Duan Qingyu, naturally, he doesn't have to go back to Dali, and he should be sent directly to Yingtian Mansion.

And the reason why Zhu Qi did this matter so decisively is also according to the historical history, this is how the Lord General of Ming Dynasty led the army and defeated King Liang and treated them like this.

The plots that have been played in history in advance have already shown that the Dali Duan family has no will to resist at all. As long as they are a little intimidating, they will immediately surrender to Kaesong.

But the situation on Zhu Qi's side is more clear than in history, so there is naturally no room for manipulation during this Qingyu period.

What Zhu Qi never imagined was that he could see things clearly, but it was different in court.

Those ministers were still thinking, what would happen if the Dali Duan clan resisted?

But I didn't expect to hear the news soon, that our Royal Highness King Liao actually took down the Dali Duan family in one fell swoop, and didn't waste a single soldier? !
