Li Muchian came over excitedly, "What do you want the Governor to talk about?"
Nagging you, Chang Yu glanced at the people in Wuzhong in the distance: "Master Li, where are we going on this trip and why?"
Li Muxian was startled: "Go to Yunnan to quell the chaos!"
"Have you thought about how to draw?" Chang Yu exclaimed, and Li Muchian scratched his head: "There are so many variables in this game that it's hard to say at the moment. I can only go to the end of the field and take a look." Chang Yu said, "The Taoist master is proficient in Zhou Yi. Gossip can tell whether the prophet can predict whether the trip will go smoothly." Li Muxian chuckled: "I am not a god, how can I have such ability?"
"Isn't Taoist Priest claiming to be a semi-immortal? Since he doesn't have such immortal abilities, why not prepare thoroughly in advance so as not to be at a loss at the last moment?" Chang Yu snorted: "We brought you here just to let you make suggestions. "Look, you should have time to make careful calculations with our family on the way and deduce various possibilities so that you can deal with them with ease, but now you are full of thoughts on that crooked way."
Li Muxian scratched his head: "That's not a crooked way, it's a serious Taoist practice."
"So you are coveting her?" Chang Yu rolled his eyes, and Li Muchian quickly said: "How can this be called coveting? Pindao is from the same school as her, if he is willing..."
"You are from the same sect but from different sects. That kind of skill has never been given to you secretly, and even if it is given to you, you can practice it? Taoist Master, this thing depends on talent. We believe that you, Lu Zuguan, also have it. The method of cultivation is not inferior to hers, but why haven't you mastered it? You just don't have the talent, so you insist on asking for help. You can't practice your own skills well and you still think about others. This is like asking Qing Yi to Even if you come to practice your skills of asking gods to catch ghosts, she won’t be able to learn from you.” Chang Yu was going crazy, knowing that Li Muchian would never stop since Qing Yi.
Li Muxian is still very important to Chang Yu. He is one of his rare staff members. He is not as good as the professional Li Yan in strategizing military affairs, but his knowledge is very complicated. He is almost a contemporary encyclopedia, such as Zhouyi Gossip, divination, fortune-telling, Qimen, Dunjia, deception, abductors, proficient in thinking, and knowledgeable. The most important thing is that he is sharp-tongued, thick-skinned, and can deceive people... This is mainly related to his life experience. He is a mainstream Taoist but has been traveling around the world all year round. , I have seen and tasted the ups and downs of the world, and I have developed a skill that is not suitable for a banquet but is enough to whet the appetite. To put it bluntly, I am the thief version of Song Xiance.
"In fact, these two things are not contradictory." Li Muchian was scolded by Chang Yu, and after thinking for a while, he held back this sentence: "Of course we have to think of ways to suppress the rebellion, and Qing Yi, who is poor in martial arts, is bound to get it."
Moreover, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "If you can get our family, we will worship you as our teacher!"
"Seriously?" Li Muchian's eyes lit up, and Chang Yu nodded: "If you lose, then don't even think about the position of national master."
This... Li Muxian was very confused. Chang Yu sighed: "I went to Lu Zuguan on the way back to Beijing. Oh, how miserable!"
Li Muxian stopped talking and looked up at the sky: "It's getting late, we have to hurry."
Yunnan is in the southwest, so you can’t go to Nanjing along the previous route south. The most straight-line distance is to take the southwest direction from Xuzhou, enter Hubei, pass through Hunan, and then enter from Guizhou. Yes, Chang Yu does not intend to transit Sichuan this time. It's not Zhang Xianzhong's territory, but the road there is really difficult.
But then again, these days, there is no direct access to the expressway, and it is miserable to go anywhere through mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers in the south are not as convenient as the transportation in the north.
But no matter how hard it is to leave, you have to leave!
Kunming, Yunnan.
In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Fu Youde, Lan Yu, and Mu Ying conquered Yunnan and achieved great success. Two years later, Mu Ying was ordered to guard Yunnan. Three years later, Mu Ying built Kunming Brick City and built a mansion. Kunming City at that time is now Wuhua District. , and the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion is located opposite the current Wuhua District Government, and the current Victory Hall of the Anti-Japanese War.
Cuihu, which is adjacent to the north of the Duke's Mansion, is also the property of the Mu family. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a private garden. Mu Ying imitated the famous Western Han Dynasty general Zhou Yafu's "Xiliu Camp to garrison troops" and built a "Liu Camp" on the west bank of Cuihu to plant willows and herd horses. Later, he After his son Muchun took over, he built a villa there. Later, after Emperor Yongli entered Yunnan, he made Zhang Xianzhong's general Liu Wenxiu the king of Shu, and the villa became the palace of the Shu prince.
Later, Wu Sangui came in, and the Mu family's property became his. Because Mu Ying was the Marquis of Xiping, the Qing Emperor named him Pingxi King. However, Wu Sangui's Pingxi Palace was not in the original Mu Palace, but in the nearby Wu Palace. Huashan Yongli Palace, as its name suggests, was the palace of Emperor Yongli at that time, which is now the seat of the Yunnan Provincial Government.
Although Mu Ying was posthumously named King of Qianning, in fact, the plaque on Prince Mu's Mansion has always been the Duke of Guizhou, but the local people are accustomed to calling it Prince Mu's Mansion. The lack of a plaque on the Prince's Mansion means that future generations will assume the title of Duke of Guizhou instead of the Duke of Guizhou. king.
But these are not important. No matter what plaque is hung, they are the royal palaces of Yunnan people.
It is not an exaggeration to even say that the emperor is a native emperor.
And today's Yunnan native emperor is Mu Tianbo, who is under thirty years old and has great ambitions. As mentioned before, when Emperor Chongzhen just ascended the throne, his grandmother poisoned his father to death. Mu Tianbo, who had just turned ten, took the title of Duke of Guizhou. As for General Zhengnan, but at that time, the general military affairs were handled by the governor, and the affairs of the Duke's palace were handled by his mother and the housekeepers, the Ruan brothers. He only played, oh no, also practiced martial arts. This guy was also a meteor hammer master. Woolen cloth.
Eighteen years passed in the blink of an eye, Mu Tianbo came to power, and the Ming Dynasty was also in a state of devastation. Local chieftain rebellions occurred from time to time, and the Mu Mansion and the entire Yunnan officialdom were only focused on profit and personal gain... Anyway, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was in a state of disarray. Everything was in a mess, and Yunnan was not in a good place. The reason why it had not collapsed was because of Mu Ying’s signboard of Prince Mu’s Mansion. However, in the second year after Emperor Chongzhen’s death, Wu Bikui said: “Emperor Zhu is gone. "Where is the Prince Mu's Mansion?" This started the chaos in Yunnan and the destruction of the Mu family.
Historically, Wu Bikui rebelled in September of the second year after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, that is, September of 1645. At that time, it was the beginning of the great chaos in the world, but now it is nearly ten months earlier, no matter how late it is, it is too late. , but what was supposed to come eventually came.
Wu Bikui was the chieftain of Yuanmou, and his territory was in the current Yuanmou County area, that is, northwest of Kunming and close to the Sichuan border. This guy rebelled in September and was exterminated and committed suicide in October. Although it was only a month, he destroyed Dingyuan and Meitan around Yuanmou. , Wuding, Lufeng, Yao'an and other places were captured, and the attack reached the doorstep of Kunming, which was considered powerful.
Of course, what Chang Yu is worried about is not Wu Bikui but the chain reaction caused by his butterfly wings.
As for why Wu Bikui rebelled, I briefly mentioned it in the previous article. It was Wu Ding's general Li Dazhi who complained to Mu Tianbo and forced him to rebel. This Li Dazhi was a corrupt and incompetent person, and he was cruel and often bullied those minorities. The nation is one of the key figures that triggered this rebellion, but Wu Bikui himself is not a good thing. In fact, when the imperial court attacked the reputation of Tusi Pu in Ami Prefecture thirteen years ago, both Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou participated The coalition forces were on a crusade, but they were persuaded by Pu Mingxing and secretly communicated with them. They pretended to be defeated and withdrew the troops at the critical moment, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the officers and soldiers. The then governor and his wife were killed in battle. As the world became more and more chaotic, the court became weaker and weaker. This guy became increasingly arrogant. This This time he was finally provoked by Li Dazhi and immediately turned against him.
The reason why Mu Tianbo easily believed Li Dazhi's instigation was because of one person, the new housekeeper Yu Xipeng. Why is he called the new housekeeper? As mentioned earlier, when Mu Tianbo took over the throne, the housekeepers at that time were the Ruan brothers, namely Ruan Chengfeng, Ruan Chengqi, and Ruan. The three Chenglin brothers were under the banner of the Duke of Guizhou. Among them, Ruan Chenglin was the chief steward. He was shrewd, capable and kind to the ethnic minorities, allowing Yunnan to have peace for several years. However, he was later framed by Yu Xipeng and executed by Mu Tianbo and then replaced him. This also became the future of Shading. The seeds of the continental rebellion were planted, and I will talk about this later.
This Yu Xipeng has no other skills, but he is very good at making small reports and sowing dissension. Mu Tianbo believed him as soon as he sang harmony with Li Dazhi, and Wu Bikui was forced to go to your uncle for a while, but he rebelled!
In previous years, if he had rebelled against Mu Tianbo even one or two years ago, he would not have panicked, nor would he have reported to the court immediately (but this saved himself). He would have first mobilized his troops to encircle him, and then reported to the court to express his merits. , But it can’t be done now. Li Zicheng is in full swing in Sichuan. Yunnan has insufficient troops and has to suppress Wu Bikui and defend the border. How can this be sustained? So it is not necessary to summon chieftains from all walks of life to encircle and suppress while reporting to the court. He wants the imperial court to mobilize troops. There are no troops here to put out the fire. Even if there are, when the day lilies are cold, he is laying the groundwork in advance, just in case the fire here gets bigger and bigger. You can't The blame is on me. It’s not that I discovered it late and didn’t suppress it in time. It’s not that I’m incompetent or that I didn’t conceal the truth. It’s just that the situation here is complicated, so you can’t blame me.
To talk about how vacant Yunnan's military strength is now, for example, when Li Zicheng entered Sichuan and established the country, Mu Tianbo was so shocked that he asked Li Dazhi, who was guarding Wuding, to go to the border to deploy defenses at Huichuan Guard (today's west of Huili, Sichuan, Huichuan County was established in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Yuan Dynasty, Road, Ming Dynasty for the Guards, Qing Dynasty) And how many soldiers and horses did Li Dazhi bring with him at that time?
two thousand!
Yes, that's right, two thousand went to set up defenses. Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong didn't know about it at the time, otherwise he would have harvested it long ago.
