The next day, the first day of June in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.
Annan border.
"Brother, why should we go to Yunnan instead of Guangxi?"
A team of hundreds of cavalrymen, with a carriage, drove forward at dawn.
At a fork in the road, Zhao Fei hesitated slightly and chose to go left instead of right.
Li Laosi couldn't help but ask.
"There's so much nonsense. It's better to listen to me and listen to you." Zhao Fei scolded, which made Li Laosi shrink his neck and dare not speak.
After looking at Li Laosi, Zhao Fei explained: "Yunnan is guarded by Xiping Hou. Even if it takes more time, it will be better than something unexpected happening on the way."
Going straight from Guangxi to the capital is of course the fastest way, which can save at least nearly ten days.
But there are many chieftains in Guangxi now, and the roads are winding. Although they have hundreds of horses, they can easily be defeated directly if they are ambushed.
Yunnan is different.
The big chieftains in Yunnan were basically suppressed by Xipinghou. Not only that, Xipinghou Muying also organized migrant workers to dredge rivers, expand Dianchi Lake, and build water conservancy projects.
Attract merchants to Yunnan, transport rice, cloth and salt to develop business.
Develop salt wells, increase financial resources, repair roads, and protect grain transportation, allowing Yunnan's farmers and businesses to develop.
For now, the natives of Yunnan are relatively peaceful after being taught by Mu Ying.
The most important thing is that Zhao Fei has documents from Annan Kingdom in his hands.
Following Zhao Fei's order, the team quickly set off towards Yunnan.
Half a day later,
A large crowd appeared ahead.
Zhao Fei waved his hand and the team immediately stopped.
"Li Laosi, go to the front and ask what is going on with so many people."
"It's an order."
Zhao Fei and his team waited quietly, and a large number of civilians and even soldiers appeared in front of them.
From the looks of it, it seemed like something big had happened.
Zhao Fei did not want to cause any dispute.
Soon, Li Laosi came back on horseback.
"Brother, Marquis Xiping Muying suddenly died of illness. These indigenous people organized spontaneously to express their condolences to Marquis Xiping."
When Zhao Fei heard this, he cursed: "You bastard, if I want you to study and sleep, you'll just turn a deaf ear to what you said, sir, right?"
"For a person like Xipinghou, that is called passing away. Your words are disrespectful to Xipinghou."
Hearing the eldest brother's scolding, the surrounding knights burst into laughter.
Li Laosi rubbed the back of his head, feeling very embarrassed.
Zhu Ying hired teachers to teach all his cavalry, including soldiers.
Not just reading and literacy, but also teaching them how to be a good person.
Zhu Ying understood very well the importance of education for soldiers. Soldiers who understand knowledge are more likely to develop into general-like figures. Many small-scale battles may lead to surprising scenes.
Even if they are some nomads in the desert, Zhu Ying will let them take time out every day to receive education.
Of course, this education naturally contains a lot of private goods.
These gentlemen who impart knowledge were created by Zhu Ying and were specifically responsible for the loyalty education of soldiers.
To put it simply and straightforwardly, it is to maintain the personal worship of Zhu Ying.
In ancient times when information was not developed, personality worship was of great significance. …
A strong cult of personality can maintain the loyalty of soldiers. Coupled with the binding of common interests, the possibility of betrayal will be infinitely reduced.
"Have you ever found out how Xiping Hou passed away?"
After Zhao Fei finished scolding him, he let out a long sigh, feeling very sorry for the passing away of Marquis Xiping, and then asked.
"It seems that because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died of illness, Marquis Xiping couldn't bear the blow when he heard the news, so he fell ill in bed and passed away." Li Laosi recalled.
"Marquis Xiping is a true hero!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei dismounted, took off his helmet, and bowed deeply to the northwest.
Seeing this, many knights also dismounted.
Hundreds of people saluted respectfully.
This is respect for Xipinghou Muying.
Just like those chieftain civilians who organized themselves to pay homage to Xipinghou.
After a while, everyone got on their horses and moved forward again.
Along the way, the number of people increased.
Bureaucrats, commoners, subordinate officials, soldiers, 缁黄, and Tiaobai all rushed to the door and cried on the road.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty Palace was already approaching Haishi.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not sleep, but continued to handle government affairs in the study room in the front hall of Qianqing Palace.
Outside, Liu He, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, was waiting to accompany him.
"Your Majesty, it's midnight, it's time to rest."
Not long after, Liu He looked at the sky and said respectfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang's daily schedule was very regular. Basically, he had fixed times for reviewing memorials, eating, and sleeping.
Naturally, Liu He, the personal eunuch, reminds them of these moments at any time.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and by candlelight, he finished reviewing the memorial in his hand before standing up.
Seeing this, Liu He quickly put on His Majesty's coat, and then waved to the little eunuch behind him.
The little eunuch at the back immediately brought over a plate with wooden plaques on it, engraved with the names of the concubines in the harem.
