Daming heir

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 for more than 20 years.

He felt that all the rhetoric he had thought about on the way from Wenyuan Pavilion had been wasted.

The prince did not follow his own ideas at all. After some lobbying, he had no choice but to agree to send the Jin Yiwei.

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 Jie Jin's confused eyes.

But 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 Jinyiwei commander 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 doubts 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 check."

Jie Jin only 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 one hundred households in the imperial prison of Jinyiwei. After he went to the Northern Expedition, he was promoted to the official of one thousand households. I'll take charge of Fusi in Beizhen for the time being.

He is a person who has seen the world, is capable, and dares to fight.Let him take the people south to have a look in person. Gu and the imperial court can trust him.

Even if there is any danger, he can probably deal with it 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 will be no problem. Zhang Hui has experience and, as his father said, he is also a capable person. Father chose him, He is the right candidate.”

"Then it's settled, let him set off today. The Southwest Chieftain's problems have been going on for many years, and it's time to sort them 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 Jie 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 careful now, which is completely different from the past. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing..."

After finishing 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 was still standing aside, frowning slightly, thinking about what his father had 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 the same today as in the past?

Zhu Yunxi shook his head silently.

No one is the same.

Even Xie 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 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 pacify 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." Changing Tu Gui Liu will make the Ming Dynasty only have local magistrates and local magistrates, and there will no longer be hereditary local magistrates and local magistrates."

The prince's face showed a hint of sharpness, 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 heard no 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, was distracted.

Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Nowadays, the territory of our country is increasing frequently, and the territory thousands of miles south of Guangxi Road and Yunnan Road has been transformed into the counties of our country. In this way, the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan areas have become inland, and there is no such thing as the past. Talk about the frontier.

Under such circumstances, if the southwest chieftain is located on the border, it would seem a bit inappropriate to focus on appeasement even if there is chaos.

And since it is an inland country like the Central Plains, both local people and local governments should also be treated as the Central Plains. "

This answer made Zhu Biao very satisfied.

Firstly, it was because his son was absent from class, and secondly, his son agreed with his point of view.

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 seedlings of the Yu clan, Guifang of the Shang clan, and Yelang, Mimo, Qiong, Zhu, Bo and Cuan of the Western Han Dynasty.

From the east of Ba and Kui to Hu, Xiang and Lingqiao, they are entrenched for thousands of miles, with 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 of Yong, Shu, Qiang, Yao, Wei, Lu, Peng and Pu all joined Yan.When the king of Chuzhuang defeated Yunnan, the Qin Dynasty opened a five-foot road and installed officials. Along with Hanwu, he installed Duwei and county subordinates, and still ordered self-protection. This was the beginning of 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 Chao Yuan Dynasty has been 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. It is easy to be the commander-in-chief, so he runs around just to follow his orders.

However, the dispatches became more and more complicated, 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 in successive dynasties had 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.

Only 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 Fusui's grace and power are 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 areas of Hu and Hunan, exploiting them for profit and using them as soldiers.

Hunan, Guwu County, central Guizhou.The territory of Shizhouwei and the chieftains of Yong and Bao is located to the west of Yue, Chen and Changde, borders Ba and Kui in the east of Sichuan, and leads to Qianyang in the south.Xidong is deep and blocked, making it easy for bandits to steal. It 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. The Chen thieves took advantage of this. "

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 grandfather 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 The subordinates of Xuanwei, Anfu, and Chang Guansi successively welcomed the surrender. 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 even now, the southwest 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 tone was calm, but murderous.

He chuckled and said: "In the third year of Hongwu's reign, 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 appointed Deng Yu as the general for the southern expedition, and led his troops to pacify Sanmao and other 36 caves of the southwestern chieftains.Lieutenant General Wu Liang also defeated the barbarians in Wukai and Guzhou, totaling 220 three caves, converted 5000 natives into civilians, collected more than [-] scattered soldiers, and leveled the land.

In the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, Wu Mian'er, a barbarian from the Five Kingdoms, rebelled with great momentum.Your imperial grandfather appointed your sixth uncle as the commander and Xin Guogong Tang He as the general to conquer the captives. He killed the barbarians in Jiuxi and captured more than [-] people. The seedlings in the southwest were 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, the Marquis of Xuanning, Cao Liangchen, led his troops to capture Sangzhi, and the Xuanwei envoy of Rongmei Dongyuan, Shinan Road, defeated his younger brother Dawang, deputy Xuanwei, Tan Daxing, and Guangbaozida. Gu and others all came to court and accepted 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 14th year, Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, moved to search for the Shuiyuyuan, Tongtaping, and Sanmao caves, and established the Shizhou Guard Military and Civilian Command Department.

In the 15th year, Shi Nanxuanfu Division was established and placed under the jurisdiction of Shizhou Wei.

In the 17th year of the [-]th year, the son of Qin Yewang, the governor of Sanmao and Yanbian Appeasement Division, came to court and was appointed as the minister of this division.

In the 23rd year of the Liang Dynasty, Lan Yugong, the Duke of Liang, captured and stabbed the chief Qin Dawang and more than [-] people in Sanmaodong.Set up a residence for thousands of military and civilian households in Datian, under the jurisdiction of Shizhou Wei. "

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh at this time.

In the past few years, the world only knew that the Ming Dynasty used troops on nine sides. In recent years, they only know that the imperial court's eastern and southern expeditions were carried out. However, few people know that the Ming Dynasty was carried out almost every moment from the founding of the country to the 29th year of Hongwu. War.

In the high mountains of the southwest, he fought with those 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 at the side and said: "If we want to use military strategy to manage the Southwest Chieftains, we must first use Huguang as a breakthrough point.

Huguang occupies the northernmost part of the southwest, and the Yuezhou Prefecture, Changde Prefecture, Changsha Prefecture, Jingzhou Prefecture, and Wuchang Prefecture in the Dongting area are today's grain-producing areas.The military commander of Huguang Daodu, Si Zhizhi, is a local military household and is familiar with the topography, features and humanities of Huguang.

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 reach Huguang Ding, you can use this as food and grass, pass through Baoqing Prefecture and Yongzhou Prefecture, go south to Guangxi Province, Guilin Prefecture, Pingle Prefecture, and Ding Guangxi Province Tusi.You can also go west from Huguang Road to Shizhou and go west to Sichuan Road to Dingshizhu, Youyang, Changguan and other chieftains.Then he marched westward to Guizhou Dusi, and attacked him from the east and west with the Sichuan Daodu Commandery Division.

If Yunnan Taoist and Guangxi Taoist 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 tea cup in front of him, and drank a full glass of water.

Only then did he breathe 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 a military empire 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 lever 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 Huguang Road, Sichuan Road, Guangxi Road, Yunnan Road, and Guizhou Dusi in the southwest. These four roads and one Dusi were all included.

In those words, it was a matter of countless people in these five places having their legs broken, and it was a war in which the soldiers on the front line had 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.
