Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Yes,

The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people are all here in Zhang Haogu.

This is not Zhang Haogu's arrogance, but something he thought about on the road.

Annan needs to take Yunnan urgently to prevent the imperial army from arriving, and the mountainous terrain of Yunnan is not easy for Annan's army to advance. After all, entering Yunnan from the outside is not the same as arriving in Yunnan from the interior, otherwise the imperial court would not spend their energy building roads in vain. up?

However, the Annan barbarians burned, killed and looted, and the people in Yunnan were full of resentment. As long as Zhang Haogu arrived in Yunnan at this time, the people in Yunnan would spontaneously gather around Zhang Haogu.

As for the Mu family?

The Mu family probably thought that he could control the situation of the battle, and even threatened Annan while threatening the court, but they had stayed in Yunnan for too long, and their understanding of the court was too superficial.

They don't even know how the court is fighting at the moment, how many firearms and equipment the court has, and what are they using against the court?
With the mountains of Yunnan?

If the mountains in Yunnan can withstand the army, how did Meng Yuan in Yunnan be beaten away, and how did the 20 troops enter Yunnan, Guizhou and conquer Annan during the Chengzu period?

In the face of manpower, what are mountains and mountains?
Back then, the first emperor built straight roads, built chi roads, dug Lingqu, and ordered 50 troops to go south. The mountains and mountains, dense forests, and poisonous miasma snakes blocked the first emperor's army?

Right now, the mountains in Yunnan that the Mu family thinks they can't hold back the imperial army!

Three days of preparations, the [-] troops in the Nanjing camp are ready to go. Considering the need to keep available soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, the [-] troops on this trip are divided into half and half, and the old and the new will continue to train on the marching road The recruits are guaranteed that when they arrive in Yunnan, [-] soldiers and horses will be ready for battle.

Outside the city of Nanjing, 3 troops lined up. Although there were only 30 people, they really put on a posture of [-]. Firearms such as tiger squat guns, mother-child guns, general guns, and dragon bombs were lined up. Open, more than [-] cavalry lined up, together with the mountains, rivers, sun and moon flags waving in the wind, the army was solemn and solemn, with the title of war horses, fully displaying the chilling spirit of the expedition and the might of the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

The crowd watching the army's expedition couldn't help but click their tongues in admiration: "It's really worthy of the master Wang's expedition, the weather is extraordinary, the weather is extraordinary!"

What is Master Wang?

Daming's army is the king's division!
Wang Shi went out to fight against the barbarians, to punish the ministers, and to punish the people for crimes.

Zhang Haogu rode his horse in front of the army: "Let's go!"

The [-] troops changed their positions and marched in formation.

On the fifth day of April in the tenth year of Mingqi, at the beginning of summer, Wang Shi set off and went south.

ta ta ta
With a [-]-strong army going on a long-distance expedition, it is natural to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers.

In order to ensure that they can reach Yunnan in the shortest time, the [-] troops will board a boat and arrive in Luzhou. After resting in Luzhou, they will go south to Yunnan.

In short, you can't ride a war horse if you can't ride it.

Of the [-] troops, [-] of them are cavalry, and the remaining [-] are infantry. Among the [-] cavalry, [-] are the [-] cavalry battalions brought by Zhang Haogu from the capital. For a while, Zhang Haogu also planned to fight with Huang Degong, Han Yaowei and others.

Zhao Yuqi, commander of the [-] Battalion of the capital, also went out with Zhang Haogu on this trip, and now he, Huang Degong, and Han Yaowei are on Zhang Haogu's warship, and the four of them are looking at the map of the southwest.

"Although this pavilion is leading the army, it is the generals who are fighting the enemy. Although this pavilion understands the way of battle, it is not very proficient. You generals can speak freely."

Zhang Haogu is very clear about his level, so he only needs to understand, but he doesn't need to be proficient. After all, he doesn't come to the front line to command the battle, his job is to be a supervisor.

As long as you understand it, it is enough not to be deceived by your subordinates.

Huang Degong looked at this map of the southwest: "Hui Yuanfu, this southwest land has many mountains and steep mountains, and the roads are rugged. It is quite inconvenient for the army to march. After entering Yunnan, the army may have to adapt for a period of time and need to be prepared. Summer heat, detoxification herbs are."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "It's natural. There is no shortage of doctors in the army. There are many mosquitoes and miasmas in Yunnan. Decoctions for clearing away heat and detoxification are indispensable. If the army camps in Yunnan, they must also pay attention to guarding against poisonous insects. Herbal ashes and Sulfur needs to be sprinkled."

Zhao Yuqi added: "Yuanfu, in this Southwest battle, there are not many opportunities for cavalry to be used. There are not many opportunities in the Yunnan Plain. Once used, it will be a decisive battle. The general thought that the cavalry should not be used first. It is better to hide from the beginning and wait." Chance, kill with one hit."

Zhang Haogu still agreed with Zhao Yuqi's words: "Continue."

Zhao Yuqi continued: "The battles against barbarians in Yunnan are mainly infantry. However, although our army is mostly southern infantry, they lack knowledge of the southwest environment and need local assistance."

Zhang Haogu nodded slightly: "Yes."

After the discussion among the generals, Huang Zongxi compiled them into a book. These are the generals' thoughts on this battle, and they need to be reserved and submitted to the capital.

When the generals dispersed, Zhang Haogu looked at Huang Zongxi who was sorting out the documents and suddenly asked, "Can you stay in the Guizhou government?"

Huang Zongxi was stunned for a moment: "Yuanfu, haven't you already..."

Zhang Haogu shook his head: "This pavilion is not sure whether the Mu family really colluded with Annan, this pavilion is just making this assumption."

"Now that the Mu family and the chieftain of Yunnan are refusing to send troops and threatening the court on the grounds of the Annan barbarian invasion, it's hard not to make people wonder what they are planning."

"This pavilion is just preparing for a rainy day."

"If the Mu family was arrested without a fight, it means that they did not participate in Annan's affairs, but were unwilling to lose power. In the end, it was just a punishment. It is impossible for the court to get rid of all the founders of the country. This reason is too aggressive. You can understand. "

Huang Zongxi nodded.

Zhang Haogu continued: "If the Mu family chooses to defend Kunming to resist the imperial court, then it means that they really have ghosts in their hearts."

Huang Zongxi's eyes widened in astonishment: "The Mu family will really collude with Annan and let Annan harass the border? Those are all my Ming's people, the people who belong to his Guizhou government."

Zhang Haogu glanced at Huang Zongxi, this child is still too young.

Sighing lightly, Zhang Haogu asked: "Han Yu is still the chief assistant of my Daming, what's the result?"

After saying this, Huang Zongxi was speechless.

After leaving the room and standing on the deck, watching the big ships on both sides going upstream, Zhang Haogu sighed softly: "I hope Tian Ergeng and his party go well."

At this time in Yunnan, the Mu family didn't know that the imperial court had sent troops to the expedition, let alone that Zhang Haogu had labeled the Duke of Guizhou as a traitor, and they were at ease in the fortified city of Kunming.

What happened to the Annan barbarian invasion?
What happened to the increase in food prices caused by the war?
What's the matter with the Duke of Qian's mansion?

On the contrary, the Mu family can take this opportunity to raise the price of food and get the money and land back from these mud legs!

As for whether these mud legs will report to the officials, just kidding, why the Mu family of Duke Qian of the State of Qian has the title of Prince Mu's Mansion, and it is not because the Mu family has the final say in Yunnan!
It is true that the Mu family and the chieftains can be restricted by the imperial court's setting of reforming the land to return to the local people. It is because the Mu family and the chieftains do not want to resist the imperial court in the open.

If you want Yunnan to be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, first uproot the chieftains and the Mu family!
Otherwise, these mud-legged people in Yunnan still want to report to the police and flee?
Think beautiful!
You can't get out of the checkpoint!
"In the past two years, these mud legs have divided the land and planted it more diligently than giving it to my Mu family. The family has food, money, and new clothes. They live a good life. Those are what these mud legs should have. !"

"Exactly, take this opportunity to let them spit out all the money and land!"

Listening to the curses of the clansmen, the old ladies of the Mu family, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Chen, seemed very calm.

Chen said with a smile: "It's just some muddy legs. What's there to be jealous about wearing a few new clothes?"

A clansman said: "Ma'am, the main reason is that when I see those muddy legs in the past, they are now buying clothes and having money, and I feel uncomfortable."

The other clansmen also nodded one after another. It should be their Mu family who buys clothes and has money and food. Why should mud legs have money and food?
They wished that the people only had coarse clothes and then worked for their Mu family day and night!

There is a saying that is good, seeing you making money is more uncomfortable than me losing money!
These people are used to being superior, used to being rich and honored, and they can't see the mud legs they looked down on in the past to live a good life.

Our fine clothes and fine food are our nobility, why do you work so hard to be able to eat and wear warmly?

No!

If you don't work for the Mu family until you die, you still want to eat, wear clothes, marry a wife and have children?

Isn't it good to be a slave for a lifetime?
They just can't see the people living a good life, can't see the smiles on the people's faces, and can't see the people's growing disrespect for them. Only when they kneel and kowtow in awe can they appear noble.

Chen said with a smile: "The land was allocated to them by the imperial court. Can we still ask for it back?"

"In my opinion, the imperial court agreed to us this time, probably because they had no other choice, so this land is still theirs. We just need to increase the price of other things and use up their money. If we raise it for two years, we can squeeze it out again. Well."

The old lady Song also nodded: "The imperial court must be wary of my Mu family in the future. It's good for Annan's barbarians to come here every few years. Otherwise, how can we show that our Mu family is dedicated to the imperial court?"

The clansmen nodded their heads when they heard it: "The old ancestor and his wife thought very well!"

Yeah, what's a one-off squeeze?
Sustainable fishing is the last word. As long as the muddy land is still here and the household registration is still in Yunnan, can they still run?
Don't want your land, don't want you to sell your sons and daughters, let the barbarians come back every two or three years, rob you of food and money, and force you to work for the Mu family, this land is still the Mu family's In the field, these mud legs are still tenants of the Mu family?
Change the name, should this belong to my Mu family or my Mu family.

Chen said with a smile: "Kill it, rob it, if you don't turn half of Yunnan into white land, the court will not know how important my Mu family is!"

Apparently the Mu family had already planned to release half of Yunnan to the Annan barbarians.

As for Annan, looking at the money and food he had plundered, every woman was also very happy. Now nearly half of Yunnan's land has been taken by them. This is a glory that has not been seen in how many years?

Next, we only need to unite with the Mu family, maybe the whole of Yunnan can be obtained!
Li Weiqi even asked his ministers: "Do you think it is possible for Duke Qian to take half of Yunnan and join us in Yue?"

The minister replied: "Your Majesty, it's a bit difficult."

"This Mu family is actually the king in Yunnan. He is still a courtier of Daming. How could he join our country of Yue?"

Another minister said: "Your Majesty, I think it is very possible!"

"At the moment, the Ming court certainly doesn't trust the Mu family. If we accidentally leak out the conspiracy between the Mu family and us, does the Mu family have any other options?"

"Only by joining our Yue Kingdom and becoming His Majesty's subjects, can our Yue Kingdom army protect his Mu family from being liquidated by the Ming Dynasty."

"At that time, the whole of Yunnan will be our territory, and the Mu family and the chieftains of Yunnan will be His Majesty's subjects. As long as His Majesty is willing to keep their rights, they will definitely be willing to become ministers."

Li Weiqi nodded: "Good idea, let's do it at the same time, send people to Mu Jiaxiao to persuade them to join the Great Viet Kingdom, I am willing to give them half of Yunnan, and let his Mu family become the real King of Yunnan. And don't forget to leak this matter to the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming court will know what the Mu family has done."

Li Weiqi doesn't think he is the king of Annan, he is the emperor of Dayue Kingdom, and he keeps saying that he is Zhen.

Right now, he is full of ambition, and he is waiting to go south to Yunnan, and then sweep the southwest. At that time, he will be the real emperor and can stand against the Ming Dynasty!
Annan's actions were quick, and they immediately sent envoys to Kunming. At the same time, they accidentally left some evidence for Lang Pingning, who was resisting Annan's army on the front line.

After Lang Pingning discovered these secret letters between the Mu family and Annan, he didn't even know whether they were true or not, or whether they were countermeasures by the Annan people.

Therefore, Lang Pingning just chose to increase his vigilance against Kunming, and then kept the secret letter.

During this period of time, he has assembled the remaining new army and local soldiers from all over Yunnan who are willing to resist the Annan thieves.

It was difficult for Lang Pingning, who was only the captain of Zhaoxin, to manage so many soldiers. Fortunately, the arrival of the Royal Guards brought him good news. And he, Lang Pingning, was also promoted to Commander of Kunming, and was awarded General Mingwei and Captain Xun Zhongqi.

All he has to do now is to defend the front line and wait for the imperial army to arrive.

"General Lang, Yuanfu has dispatched reinforcements from Sichuan to help, and General Qin's white soldiers will arrive in Yunnan soon."

Hearing Jin Yiwei's words, Lang Pingning was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Dare to ask, but are you a white-armed soldier of the Qin family?"

Jin Yiwei said: "That's right, Yuan Fu has ordered Qin Liangyu and General Qin to personally lead the army to help."

The shadow of the famous tree of people, Qin Liangyu's Qin family's white-armed soldiers are famous in the southwest. From the first year of Tianqi to the fourth year of Tianqi, Qin Liangyu can be said to be a brick of the imperial court in the southwest, moving wherever there is rebellion , and the white pole soldiers, as Qin Liangyu's hometown soldiers, have been recognized for their strength through bloody battles.

Now Qin Liangyu is the wife of the second rank, and her son and several nephews are all guards and generals. They are either the fourth rank or the third rank. It can be said that they are a family of generals, and they are all loyal and good generals.

Now that Qin Liangyu is leading the army to help, Lang Pingning can breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Lang Pingning took out the secret letter and handed it to Jin Yiwei: "Please hand this secret letter to Yuan Fu. This is the evidence of the collusion between the Mu family and Annan left by the Annan people. In the end, I will not dare to confirm the authenticity, and I have to hand it to Yuan Fu Auxiliary identification."

When Jin Yiwei heard this, he quickly handed it over to Tian Ergeng, the commander of the capital.

Looking at the secret letter, Tian Ergeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Mu family actually colluded with the Annan people, let's go, it's time for us to act."

Jin Yiwei on the side couldn't help asking: "Master Tian, ​​what if this is an anti-plan by the Annan people?"

Tian Ergeng looked at the young Jin Yiwei helplessly, if this was not his nephew, he really wanted to kick him out!

"What is the order Yuanfu gave me, did you forget?"

I really don't have the eyesight to see, how can this Jin Yiwei have no eyesight to see that?

Yuanfu even said that he was going to take down the Mu family. It is obvious that the emperor can no longer tolerate the Mu family being an eyesore here. Now that the evidence is in hand, what are you talking about here, you are so stupid!

Looking at the Jinyiwei Brigade behind him, Tian Ergeng waved his hand: "Enter Kunming, go straight to the Duke of Qian's Mansion!"

The Jinyiwei of the brigade rode their horses and swung their whips, and ran towards Kunming City.

Lang Pingning breathed a sigh of relief, but the Mu family was completely dumbfounded.

Originally, when I heard that Jinyiwei was coming, I thought it was because the imperial court was soft and wanted to stop reforming the natives and abolishing the guards.

But when Tian Ergeng arrived with Jin Yiwei in person, and announced in front of the Kunming people that the Mu family was a traitor, it was Annan who the Mu family colluded with, which attracted the invasion of Annan's barbarians. Discovered the Mu family's deeds!
"The Duke of Qian, the Mu family and the Chieftain, were unwilling to lose their power. For their own benefit, they put the people's safety at risk and the court's majesty was nothing. They colluded with Annan and sent troops to create disasters, intending to divide the land of Yunnan with Annan! The court has already discovered your ambition!"

"Come here, seal off the Guizhou government's mansion, and no piece of grass can enter or leave!"

Following Tian Ergeng's order, the Jinyi guards on both sides quickly drew their swords, but at this time, they said, "Who dares to seal my Duke Qian's mansion!"

The soldiers and slaves of the Mu family came out with swords and confronted Jin Yiwei. Seeing this scene, the surrounding Kunming people were stunned. Could it be that the Mu family really colluded with Annan, could it be that the Mu family really attracted Annan's soldiers!

"My lord, you say that my Mu family colluded with Annan, but you know that my Mu family has guarded the southwest for the imperial court for generations? If you say that my Qianguo government colluded with bandits, there must be evidence! Otherwise, the ancestors of my Mu family who died in battle in the past generations will never promise!"

The appearance of Mrs. Song caused the people of Kunming to fall into doubts. Although the Mu family was a little domineering, they had indeed relied on the Mu family to guard Yunnan these years. Although Annan had a small invasion, he never broke in.

No matter how you look at it, the Mu family won't be colluding with Annan, right?
