Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

"In addition to Yingchuan Marquis Fu Youde, Father is also planning to have Brother Mu Ying and Lan Yu lead the troops to attack the southwest together."

Both Mu Ying and Lan Yu had special relationships with Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

Mu Ying was Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, and among all his adopted sons, he was the most promising and reliable one.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao respected Mu Ying very much.

No matter whether in front of others or behind their backs, when addressing Mu Ying, always call him Brother Mu Ying.

Mu Ying was not only a good fighter, but also a very upright person.

He is humble and elegant in daily life, but when it comes to war, he can take on important responsibilities, risk his life and dare to fight.

He was one of the younger generation of generals that Zhu Yuanzhang favored.

Zhu Biao made it very clear that his father had said it more than once.

Among the many generals of the younger generation, the one who looks most like a general is Brother Mu Ying.

He is also capable of taking on big responsibilities.

My father is planning to use Mu Yingge to replace the general in the future.

Even Lan Yu, let alone.

He is the prince's uncle.

Of course, to be precise, he is the uncle of Crown Princess Chang.

But, the uncle of the Crown Princess is naturally the uncle of the Crown Prince.

The relationship is extraordinary.

The key is that Lan Yu is also very good at fighting.

As the brother-in-law of the famous Chang Shiwan, he is a man who has fought bravely in the army.

And he is hot-tempered.

When it comes to fighting, he is definitely an expert.

Many people even say that Lan Yu's brother-in-law often has a hundred thousand men.

Moreover, in today's huge power base left by his father-in-law, King Kaiping, the person who truly controls the situation is Lan Yu.

He was very optimistic about his uncle's combat capabilities.

It's just that his personality is not very good and he easily gets into trouble...

Hearing the two people Zhu Biao was going to mention, Mei Yin couldn't help but nodded.

Sure enough, with my arrival, some things have gone awry.

But some things didn’t happen.

For example, this time when we attacked the southwest, this was the case with the selection of troops.

As he knew them, they were Fu Youde, Mu Ying and Lan Yu.

"Second brother-in-law, what do you think of these two? Can they take on the responsibility?"

Mei Yin nodded: "Of course, there is absolutely no problem between the two of them!"

Mei Yin spoke highly of Mu Ying and Lan Yu and was very positive about them.

After all, he knew that Mu Ying and Lan Yu were the two most outstanding generals of the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty.

It is not an exaggeration to call them the twin stars of the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty.

If he remembered correctly, Mu Ying and Lan Yu both shone brightly when they attacked the southwest during this historical period.

Especially Mu Ying, after attacking the southwest, Zhu Yuanzhang still let him stay in the southwest to guard the southwest.

It's not just Mu Ying. Since Mu Ying, the Mu family has been guarding the southwest for generations.

He made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

Their status and treatment are no less than those of the princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Mu Ying and the Mu family are truly reliable.

Speaking of which, Yunnan was able to be completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty and into China. In later generations, when people mention Yunnan, they feel that it has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times.

Let the many people over there spontaneously recognize that they are also part of China.

The Mu family put in a lot of effort.

Before the Ming Dynasty, these places also existed in Yunnan and Guizhou, but their presence was not strong.

Especially the south of the colorful clouds, which is not a real Chinese place.

It was from the Ming Dynasty that they were truly integrated into China.

At this time, it was heard that Mu Ying, a man who had made great contributions in the southwest in history, would also lead his troops to the southwest this time.

Mei Yin was completely relieved.

Originally, he was still a little worried.

Because of my appearance, many things will change, and Mu Ying must not be unmoved.

He was not included in the sequence of leading the troops this time.

On his part, he also had to have a good talk with his elder brother-in-law Zhu Biao and ask him to get Mu Ying in as well.

We can’t let Mu Ying miss the southwest.

At this time, after hearing the prince say this, he felt completely relieved.

In his previous life, Mu Ying had already clearly demonstrated his abilities to everyone through his actual actions.

And how right it was to let him go to the southwest.

Under such circumstances, there would be absolutely no need to hesitate in letting Mu Ying go to the southwest.

Mu Ying will definitely do a great job.

“The southwest is not easy to deal with, as there are many natives there.

Their living habits, cultural concepts and many other aspects are very different from those of us in China.

If you want to truly take over the southwest, it is not enough to just defeat King Liang in Yunnan.

That was just a superficial subjugation.

To truly conquer someone, one still needs to spend time on governance.

This place needs to be incorporated into your rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Administrative decrees can be implemented there and taxes can be collected there.

It can make the people there spontaneously identify with our Ming Dynasty and know each other as China.

This is the true way to incorporate it into the rule.

These all require a lot of effort to do.

Only by truly turning that place into the Ming Dynasty can we truly expand our territory..."

Mei Yin looked at Zhu Biao and spoke.

Zhu Biao nodded, agreeing with what Mei Yin said.

Things were exactly as my second brother-in-law had said.

"So what do you think we should do when we get there?"

Mei Yin had no excuses on this matter.

He spoke directly: “My idea is that fighting is necessary, but we also need to calm down.

First of all, the Yuan Dynasty’s rule must be overthrown there.

Start governing again.

We, the Great Ming, want to implement some good policies there.

For example, land can be divided.

To liberate the slaves who were firmly controlled by many local chieftains and others.

Let them transform from slaves with low status and identity into real people.

Give them land, give them tools, and teach them how to produce and live.

During this process, some corresponding education must also be carried out.

Tell them what is right and what is right.

I will pass on my Chinese civilization to them...

In addition, large-scale immigration is also required.

Migrate as many Han people as possible from China to there.

We need to increase the number of Han people there rapidly...

In the southwest, if the number of Han people there were even 10%, there would definitely be unrest there.

If there were 30% Han people, then the place would become stable.

Many of the policies of our Ming Dynasty can be implemented there.

If the number of Han people could reach 50%, then there would not be much difference from here in my Ming Dynasty.

If we can reach 60% or 70%, then we can say that it is an inseparable part of our Ming Dynasty. It can never be separated!
Therefore, it is essential to immigrate there in the future.

An indispensable means!

Only if enough immigrants move there.

That's where there can be real stability.

When it comes to immigration, you and your elder brother are very clear about it and know what to do.

I don't need to say more.

But I would like to say a few more words on this point.

That is, it would be best if the soldiers who went to attack the southwest, as well as the corresponding craftsmen and laborers they brought with them, could be allowed to settle down directly there.

After conquering the southwest, they established garrisons in various places and allowed them to guard and live there.

Moreover, it is also possible to encourage intermarriage between the Han people and the local natives.

We can also give some other conditions, for example, if you can marry the natives there and become a Han Chinese, then you will automatically become a Han Chinese.

Even some of their relatives can become Han Chinese through certain conditions.

Of course, these things cannot be forced.

However, we can provide many policy benefits to the soldiers, craftsmen, laborers who voluntarily stay there, as well as those who immigrate there in the future.

For example, how much tax can be reduced or exempted within a certain number of years.

Each person can get a certain amount of subsidies such as money and food from the government.

In addition, there are certain preferential treatments in scientific examinations.

From now on, your father will definitely continue to conduct scientific examinations.

In this case, we can give them certain preferential treatment.

In addition, corresponding teachers should be sent there to teach.

Teach them my Chinese knowledge and ideas and assimilate them.

Identification in thought is the real identification.

In the future, we should try our best not to kill the officials and the like who have committed crimes in the territory of our Ming Dynasty if possible, and send them all to the southwest.

Let them serve as officials there and educate the people.

No matter how badly you do when you get there, it won’t be too late to kill you…”

Mei Yin was here, talking to Zhu Biao about his thoughts on this.

Listening to what Mei Yin said, Zhu Biao nodded from time to time.

The pen in his hand did not stop either.

Keep recording here.

Write down everything Mei Yin said.

I am going to discuss this with my father after I go back.

"Second brother-in-law, is there anything else?"

After Mei Yin finished speaking, Zhu Biao looked at Mei Yin and asked.

Mei Yin said: "There is one more thing. I think these are not enough in the southwest.

You can also leave a general there to permanently guard the southwest.

I think Brother Mu Ying is very good.

He is very good at fighting, but most importantly, he is also very elegant. He doesn't cause trouble and is good at both literature and martial arts.

It can be said that he is a figure like a great general.

The general has been guarding Peking for many years and has never caused any trouble.

The situation in the southwest is complicated and not something that ordinary people can handle.

I think the best candidate is Brother Mu Ying.

In the future, after we conquer the southwest, we can let him guard the southwest for a long time.

With Mu Yingge guarding the area, there would be no problem whether it was the driven away Yuan Tartars or the many unruly local chieftains.

Even if there is more trouble, it won't cause any waves.

Can be well protected by earthquakes..."

Hearing what Mei Yin said, Zhu Biao immediately nodded, indicating that his second brother-in-law was right.

"Second brother-in-law, you are absolutely right.

I think so too on this matter.

There is no one more reliable than Brother Mu Ying."

Zhu Biao felt that it was a great blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have two brothers-in-law.

My second brother-in-law is the one who thinks long-term about many things.

For example, the reason I came here this time was just to ask him what suggestions he had when the army attacked the southwest.

The original idea was just to let my second brother-in-law say more about how to prevent epidemics when attacking the southwest in the future.

Who would have thought that after really meeting my second brother-in-law, he would say so much.

The vision is very far-sighted and is not limited to attacking the southwest.

The attack on the southwest has not yet officially begun.

Many people were thinking about how to attack the southwest.

As a result, when it came to my second brother-in-law, he was more concerned not about attacking the southwest, but about how to govern the southwest after conquering it.

From this we can see how far-reaching our second brother-in-law’s considerations are!
Even though he knew that his second brother-in-law came from hundreds of years later.

Able to know a lot about the future.

You can look at these things from the perspective of a latecomer.

But even so, Zhu Biao still felt admiration.

I feel that Ming Dynasty is extremely lucky to have someone like my second brother-in-law.

Next, Crown Prince Zhu Biao talked a lot with Mei Yin here.

Without staying here for long, he left Shuangshui Village without stopping and returned to the capital.

When he left, he also took away a large cart of things from Mei Yin.

This thing is nothing else but some mosquito coils that have been produced here in Mei Yin.

……

"Father, I'm back!"

Here in Wuying Palace, after Crown Prince Zhu Biao returned, the first thing he came here to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the shout, he put down the red pen in his hand.

There was also a smile on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been so fond of his eldest son.

"Biao'er, what did your second brother-in-law say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang personally pulled a chair for Zhu Biao and asked him to sit down.

Then he looked at Zhu Biao and asked, with an especially bright smile on his face.

I can't wait for these.

I want to hear what Mei Yin thinks about using troops in the southwest.

Do you support it?

If you support it, what suggestions can you make?

Zhu Biao didn't say anything and took out a plate of mosquito coils first.

After seeing these, Zhu Yuanzhang said before Zhu Biao could speak: "Is this mosquito coil? It's a good thing.

We have tried it, and the mosquito repellent effect is simply amazing.

It is much better than other mosquito repellents.

And the cost is very cheap.

This thing is really good for use in the southwest.

Biaoer, from today on, you have to make arrangements immediately.

Build more factories, invest more money, and let your second brother-in-law work hard to produce more.

This thing will definitely be useful when we fight troops in the southwest in the future.

With this thing, the soldiers can suffer less.

At least I can sleep peacefully at night."

Hearing what his father said, Zhu Biao couldn't help but blink his eyes... (End of this chapter)
