Chapter 1088
With the end of the Great Court Conference and the dispersal of civil and military officials, all relevant yamen are busy with the establishment of the junior military equipment hall.But the first assistant, Wen Tiren, wanted to ask for an audience.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen probably guessed that Wen Tiren probably came to him for the matter of the salt administration. After all, he said that after his triumphant return, he would give a simple solution to solve the problem of the salt administration.It could be seen that Wen Tiren was probably very curious, and held back for many days, and didn't want to wait any longer.Or maybe he wants to speed up the reform of the salt administration and worry about state affairs!
In either case, Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't mind.The reason why he didn't take the initiative to mention this matter was mainly because he had just returned to Beijing, and the rewards and punishments for the Battle of Liao had just been implemented.As for the reform of the hereditary system, this touched the cornerstone of Ming Dynasty after all, so we should take this opportunity to deal with it as soon as possible.According to the original plan, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to wait for today's affairs to be arranged, and only pay attention to the salt administration after the specific implementation.But since Wen Tiren came to ask for an interview, it would be fine to talk to him.

Following the decree, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne and didn't want to deal with other things, so he entered the chat group to check the news.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's a little surprised at first glance.

There is a private chat from Yunnan. To be precise, it is a message from Min Hongxue who is now in Mengmi, saying that there is a chieftain rebellion in the south of Yunnan, near Annan. He is going to lead the army back to Kunming, and then go to crusade against the chieftain .

Regarding this matter, Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was a big war in the west of Yunnan, and Dongwu was even destroyed, and it was changed to the Tang Dynasty. There is still a chieftain who wants to rebel. This is really courageous!

Thinking of this, he carefully went to understand the chieftain's rebellion.Or because of the chat group system, the memory of Emperor Chongzhen's previous life was obviously much better.After reading the relevant information, I suddenly remembered that in the original history, there was indeed a chieftain rebellion here, and it was large in scale and lasted for a long time. It was called the "Sharp Rebellion" in history!
In the original history, Pu Mingming, the chieftain of Ami Prefecture in southern Yunnan, greatly increased his strength after he fought for the "Shean Rebellion". He launched a rebellion in the fourth year of Chongzhen and died in the fifth year of Chongzhen. The crowd continued to cause chaos in southern Yunnan. Later, the Wan family recruited Sha Dingzhou, the chieftain of Annan, as his son-in-law.

However, on this plane, due to the butterfly effect, there have been many changes.Although Pu Mingming's strength has greatly increased, when he was about to rebel, there was news of victory in the north, which made him hesitate for a while, and then, the assistant minister Min Hongxue arrived in Yunnan as the imperial envoy to train troops, which was even more shocking He made him dare not act rashly.As everyone knows, it is also because of this that he, who was already killed in battle, is still alive.

Ami Prefecture is a bit far from Dongwu. When Min Hongxue conquered Dongwu, he did not recruit Pu Mingsheng.After the battle of Dongwu ended, Pu Mingsheng was a little hesitant and in a dilemma.He is powerful, and the surrounding chieftains and Ming army are not very powerful, which makes his mind swell, and he is unwilling to live like this.

But after Min Hong learned about it and the matter of military training, he didn't dare to move around.The victory of Dongwu War scared Pu Mingming even more.But when he knew the details of Dongwu's battle, his mind became active again.

In his opinion, King Talong of Dongwu is an idiot. His deployment was clearly known by the Ming army, and his food roads were not well protected. He couldn't even find the army hiding behind him, resulting in a crushing defeat. .No wonder this King Talong, contrary to the previous King Dongwu, did not dare to conquer everywhere, but just wanted to recuperate. It turns out that he is just an incompetent person!

Pu Mingsheng also discovered that the soldiers and horses trained by Min Hongxue belonged to the Tang State, and the elite white-armed army was also far away in the Tang State to wipe out the remnants of Dongwu, and they did not return for a long time.Even later, even the imperial envoy Min Hongxue was stationed in Mengmi, leaving Yunnan empty.

In addition, Pu Mingsheng also heard some rumors that the imperial court wanted to change the land and return it to the locals, and this was what the chieftain was most afraid of.In the previous battle of Dongwu, the main reason why the chieftain was willing to be Dongwu's internal response was also because of this.Therefore, Pu Mingsheng was a little worried that he would not do anything when he was holding a heavy army. Once the imperial court began to focus on the deployment of land reform, it would be difficult to even resist.

However, this time Pu Mingsheng finally decided to rebel. Judging from the information provided by Min Hongxue, there are two other important factors.

First, Pu Mingming's wife, Wan Shi, named Wan Cailian, is the daughter of a businessman.

Second, this one can't be confirmed yet, but Min Hongxue also reported it, saying that there seems to be a war breaking out on Annan's side, and the Ruan family in the south sent messengers to Amizhou, who had contact with Wan family and Pu Mingsheng successively.It wasn't long before Pu's reputation was reversed.

At the end of the message, Min Hongxue pleaded guilty, and he pleaded guilty for something like this happened in his jurisdiction.I hope that Emperor Chongzhen can give him some time, and he will be able to lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

But Emperor Chongzhen didn't take this into consideration, or Min Hongxue didn't really care about Annan's affairs, but he did!On Annan's side, he has a plan.At this time, when he heard that Annan was fighting, he immediately contacted the members of the chat group around Annan to learn more about Annan's situation.

At this time, Wen Tiren had already been led into the Wenhua Hall by the servant.But when he saw the presence of Emperor Chongzhen, he knew that the emperor might be in the chat group, so he didn't bother him, and waited quietly for the emperor to come out of the chat group.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen got a general understanding of Annan's situation through the chat group.

In fact, in the past, Annan’s forces in the north and the south had been at war. Just before he personally conquered Liaodong, Annan fought a war. The Zheng family in the north was defeated, and then the Ruan family in the south was resting for a while. After a short period of time, a large-scale counterattack and revenge began, and now they are fighting fiercely.

However, judging from the current situation, the Ruan family in the south seems to have received the full assistance of Frangji, and the battle situation is quite favorable.

Emperor Chongzhen did not expect that the Portuguese would actively intervene in Annan's affairs. What's the inside story?He thought about it for a while, but he didn't think about it, so he didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he got in touch with his own arrangement. Suddenly, his heart moved, and his brows were filled with joy. The son of Fu Wang just came back, and he just had the opportunity to start the matter of Fu Wang's entrustment. .

Thinking of this, he didn't reply to Min Hongxue immediately, and quit the chat group to think about it. Only then did he realize that Wen Tiren was already waiting below.

Thus, Wen Tiren was in tragedy.This time, he didn't have the opportunity to mention the Yanzheng, so Emperor Chongzhen spoke first, talking about Pu Mingsheng's rebellion.

Rebellion is a major event at any time. Wen Tiren had no choice but to put aside the affairs of the Yanzheng when he heard this, and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, now that Liaodong has been pacified, I believe that I, Ming, have the power to completely solve the Southwest Tusi issue!"

What he said made Emperor Chongzhen a little stunned. He didn't expect that Wen Tiren would answer like this. Did he think about it before?
Thinking of this, he concentrated his energy and continued to listen to Wen Tiren's explanation: "The Southwest Tusi Rebellion, although Governor Zhu led the army to suppress it, it lasted for so many years, and the damage to the Southwest can be imagined. Before that, The imperial court had more than enough heart to deal with the chieftain's rebellion, so it adopted the policy of using chieftains to make chieftains. But in this way, there are benefits of mutual consumption of chieftains, and it is also possible to strengthen chieftains. Veteran officials thought that this general reputation must be A lot of strength has grown from it, holding the military, political and financial power of the territory, and the growth of ambition!"

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen nod his head, Wen Tiren continued to play: "Therefore, the old minister thought that it was a last resort to use the barbarians to control the barbarians. The imperial court has the ability to suppress them, so we should send heavenly troops to suppress them, so as to show the power of heaven!"

Emperor Chongzhen felt that it made sense, and at the same time he was a little curious, so he asked, "Wen Qing had planned this for a long time?"

"The southwestern chieftain consumes a lot of court energy, so the veteran has to pay attention to it!" Wen Tiren immediately admitted after hearing this.

Indeed, in the original history, Daming eventually perished, did not survive natural disasters, and ended up with three major blood-sucking scourges.

The first is Liaodong Jianlu, which is the greatest disaster, so it goes without saying.

Second, the disaster relief is not good, and thieves are rampant, destroying the economic foundation of the Central Plains, which is also a great disaster.

And the third is the Southwest Tusi Rebellion, starting from the She'an Rebellion in the first year of Tianqi to the Shapu Rebellion, which turned the entire Southwest of Ming Dynasty into a mess, making the financial and military resources here completely withdrawn. Do not go out to suppress the rebellion of the bandits and the Liaodong captive change.

In other words, Daming was at war from the northeast to the Central Plains, and then to the southwest.Fighting on three sides, the manpower, material and financial resources consumed, no matter how powerful Daming is, it cannot withstand such consumption!Of course, it was precisely because they were not strong enough that these places could not be pacified immediately, and this vicious circle eventually drained Daming's blood.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, after listening to Wen Tiren's answer, nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, I didn't have the energy to worry about the southwestern chieftain before, but now I really need to take care of it. It's time for a change!"

The chieftain is the emperor of the earth. Although the imperial court also has means to restrict it, it is limited after all.The military and financial power in the territory is controlled by the chieftain himself.It is the land of the Ming Dynasty, how can a country within a country be tolerated!

However, the chieftain system, after all, has continued the policy of the Yuan Dynasty since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is unrealistic to change it immediately.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wen Tiren: "This matter must be discussed in the long run. Wen Qing will plan first and write the countermeasures in the memorial for my review."

Having said that, he changed the subject and said again: "As for the chaos of popular fame this time, I decided to transfer Zhu Xieyuan to the past, and solve the feudal affairs of Annan and King Fu together!"

This plan is different from the previous plan.Originally, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to transfer Zhu Xieyuan to Guangxi, and then plot Annan.Unexpectedly, the chieftain in southern Yunnan rebelled, so he changed his mind and planned to transfer Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Guangxi and southern Yunnan military affairs.

Min Hongxue, on the other hand, continued to be in charge of Tang's affairs.After all, Tang Wang is not capable enough to really gain a firm foothold in Dongwu on his own, and stabilize the situation so that the remnants of Dongwu will not counterattack.The matter of Tang Wang's feudal establishment of Dongwu is the bone of a thousand-mile horse, and there must be no accidents.Otherwise, the overseas feudalism of the vassal kings will continue here, and the Tang king will be counterattacked and wiped out there, which will inevitably affect the overseas feudal vassals of other vassal kings.

After carefully explaining Emperor Chongzhen's plan, Wen Tiren immediately seconded it, and even suggested that King Fu should do something about it.In this way, all the military expenses for Zhu Xieyuan's deployment of troops to suppress the Puming Rebellion can fall on King Fu.Because according to the emperor's plan, the suppression of Puming and the conquest of Annan and changing to Fuguo had to be resolved together.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and agreed.However, he guessed that King Fu would complain when he saw that the military expenditure for suppressing Pu Ming's reputation would be added.But now that the imperial court has resolved the Liaodong issue, and the finances have also eased, he will be able to bargain at that time.

After negotiating in this way, Emperor Chongzhen gave Zhu Xieyuan an order through the chat group, and sent him to Yunnan to suppress the rebellion.At the same time, tell him not to rush to suppress it, just limit the area where he rebelled, and then use it to train troops for King Fu, so that there is a reason for King Fu to provide military expenses.

After receiving this decree, Zhu Xieyuan looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself: "Are you young? Why do you think you are more scheming than the old man!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile again. In a troubled Daming, it is a blessing for Daming to have such a "monstrous" emperor suddenly appear!
So, like Wen Tiren of the capital, he became busy with this matter. Even King Fu of Luoyang, after seeing his son come back to tell the story of Tang, he was finally relieved and got busy.

History has almost changed beyond recognition, and the fate of many people has completely changed!

For example, Li Zicheng, who in the original history forced Emperor Chongzhen to death and finally lost the country he had just conquered to the Manchus, has now gone to Siberia at the order of Emperor Chongzhen, and has already handed over to the invaders who expanded eastward from Tsarist Russia. Get started.

For Li Zicheng, he was prepared in advance, he knew what kind of opponent he would be, and he had studied in the Armed Forces Hall. With a thousand elites, the Tsarist Russian invading army with hundreds of hundreds was not enough at all.Encountered once, it is either routed or eliminated, almost without exception.

To be honest, these Russian troops that invaded the east were not regular Russian troops at all, but were composed of various criminals and desperadoes. Compared with the elites drawn from the establishment led by Li Zicheng, they were quite different. far away!It's right to win a battle, but it's strange to lose a battle!

However, Li Zicheng also kept in mind Emperor Chongzhen's reminder that his greatest enemy was the harsh weather in the North.As for the Tsarist Russian invading army, after suffering repeated losses, they may also learn a lesson.We must also beware of this.

 Thanks anniexie for the reward!
