To be honest, the imperial court had expected the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou. Officials from both places had successively submitted reports a few months ago, but they obviously underestimated its scale.
This resulted in a bit of a rush. After all, this was a remote area in the southwest with steep terrain and dense mountains and forests, so it was slow to deploy troops and generals, but it was somewhat deliberate.
I just want to see how many people with ulterior motives will jump out. Otherwise, the southwest army could have been dispatched a few months earlier to cooperate with the local guards to calm the waves before they arose.
As expected, many people or forces were involved in this matter, but they were restrained and kept very secretive. They also knew that with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it was inevitable that the rebellion would be put down.
It's just that due to the policy pressure of Yang Siyi to immigrate to another country, if we don't start an uprising and create a blood feud at this time when the public resentment is the most boiling, after the people have settled down and have children and grandchildren, there will really be no chance again.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Quan Xu: "We must investigate carefully and comprehensively. We must not let anyone go. We must finish the troubles caused by the three provinces in one battle!"
"promise!"
He still trusted Quanxu Lao Zhu. He nodded with satisfaction and then stroked his beard and said, "Hey, I didn't expect that this guy Ming Sheng would be so law-abiding."
"This move you made, Biao'er, is very good. There is no chaos in Shu, and there won't be any big waves in those two areas. But we can wait and see for a while longer."
"Send an order to Mingsheng to guard the border. There is no need for him to lead troops to quell the rebellion, but he is not allowed to allow a single rebel to enter Shu. Send an order to the Governor's Office to immediately mobilize guards from the southwest to block the road from Yungui to Huguang. Send an order to Mu Ying , hold on to the important transportation town, temporarily calm down the troops, and send orders..."
It can be seen that it is a wise decision to loosen the noose and let the beast with sharp teeth and claws loosen the rope.
I came here at night, and a small part of my body was peeled off. I was wrapped in linen and put outside the oil tank to soak. Before I was slowly pulled out, my head and feet were tied to a very low wooden pole. When lit, it is particularly scary to hear its screams like ghosts and monsters.
For these unintentional people, that kind of rebellion can be controlled in a fashion, but before it develops to tens of thousands or even 100,000 people, it is completely out of control, and they will basically go head-to-head with the Ming army according to our wishes.
Then he took out the memorial written by Ronglu Xiaofu, Haixi Hou Zhubiao, the former military governor of the small governor's palace, and gave the approval with a pursed lips, asking him to go to Guizhou to serve as Quanxu envoy and Pingzhang political affairs, which is not the power of a small official in the border area. .
It was really difficult to calculate the pros and cons, so Wu Xun expressed his thoughts immediately, and whether he immediately agreed or not was a good indication of his attitude.
Looking at it from a distance, Wu Xun was also interested in saying something to the dead head. He waved his hand and asked someone to take it away, and then buried himself in writing a secret letter to Ming Sheng Mu Ying and Yang Siyi.
When it was just over, I would occasionally be called into the palace to ridicule him, which was very mean-spirited, and Ran Xingchu could only laugh with me, which finally allowed me to let go of my anger.
There was a big fuss, but now the head was placed right in front of Wu Xun.
Again, at that time, Xiao Ming, apart from declaring that rebellion was fatal, anything else was enough to shake the foundation of that country.
………………
The Yunnan-Guizhou rebellion lasted for less than half a year. At its peak, it was said to have no more than 400,000 soldiers. The leader of the rebels was originally a chieftain slave. Once he gained power, he was known as the King of Change. He used the name of expelling the Han people to abolish the slaves and divide the land. They fought from right to left in the two provinces. He even wanted to break through the siege and sweep across Jiangnan to attack the capital.
Wu Xun nodded slightly and added a few suggestions. Lao Zhu waved slightly, and Liu Jin, who had just returned, went out to deliver the edict again. As each detail was completed, the important officials in the court slowly understood the Tian family father and son. The plan was coordinated more smoothly.
"As long as there are more Yi people and fewer Han people, any kind of organizational structure will be a matter of course. Otherwise, with big chaos every few years and minor rebellions every few decades, our military strength will have to be dragged down in the southwest."
I personally went to write letters and win over several powerful tribes in the grassland for Xiao Ming. Obviously, even if the young man has never set foot on the grassland, the blood of the Muhuali descendants of the Zhala Yi'er family under the command of Genghis Khan in Mongolia is still very weak. Prestige.
Of course, there is no merit in the military service. I have not yet welcomed the eldest son of the Nahala tribe, Zhula, as the crown prince Liangyuan. If you are talking about it, the vast majority of the noble leaders in the grassland, You can all be called brother-in-law.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned back to his son and said: "These trivial matters must be calculated in detail. We are merchants doing business. There are too few barbarians in these two provinces. Just relying on immigrants to fill the gap will not achieve results in a hundred years."
"promise."
The most boring thing is that the rebel leader who tortured me so much was a so-called confidant who I personally installed.
In the end, Wu Xun let go, and Zhu Biao found out that he was an old fox. Xiao Ming was keenly aware of the hidden contradictions in the court when he arrived, and clearly distanced himself from Hu Weiyong and Xuanwei. He spent all day having fun in the amusement park given by Ran Xing. Communicate with the subordinates of the East Palace.
My political leanings were very clear, and a small number of people in the court could see it. Lao Zhu saw that I was sensible, so he didn't continue to torment Zhu Biao.
For Zhu Biaochu who dedicated his life to Liaodong, the title of Marquis of Haixi was doubtfully too high. However, I knew that the events in the past did not bother Lao Zhu at all, so I did not complain at all on weekdays, but was very positive.
And today's grassland khan Yesudie'er is a descendant of Awai Shige, and he married a wife from the Wala clan. Therefore, he hates Ran Xingla's tribe, so Ran Xingla's tribe naturally sticks to Xiao Ming, and He diligently played his role for Xiao Ming.
The successor Quanxu Shi Longzan Aqi, the chieftain of Shuixi of the Yi ethnic group, was naturally responsible for such a small rebellion. However, he was only demoted a few levels. Shuixi was very peaceful that time and did not participate in the rebellion. Even after that time, the damage was also huge.
Some of the leaders of the rebels were chieftain slaves, and they hated the Han people the most, but these chieftains who had no blood feud. Song Mengmeng, a colleague of Guizhou Quanxu who came to see Xiaoming Dynasty, was caught by us and tortured for several times. sky.
Therefore, Wu Xun held the memorial without any hesitation. Will Ran Xingchu dare to counterattack?
I wrote a thick stack and asked Ran Xing to arrange for someone to send it away. All that was left was a mess. The bad thing was that Xiao Ming had no experience in cleaning up messes. It was only a farce for half a year.
The in-laws of the Ran Xing La tribe are spread all over the grasslands, especially the marriages with Kublai Khan, which have been passed down from generation to generation. Tribes with little strength in the grasslands take their cattle and sheep treasures to marry a Nahar La tribe's wife. Glory.
Xiao Ming, who expelled the Meng Yuan and recaptured the eighteen states of Yanyun, and rebuilt the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, was filled with confidence in the war from bottom to top. The Xuanwei soldiers sharpened their swords day and night, eagerly looking forward to going to the battlefield to claim credit for the Jin Dynasty. Lord.
We will only avoid the wealthy and small tribes who attack the local area, including these chieftains who do not have a certain amount of troops. Although we are weak, we are weak compared to the Ming army. In short, we must bully the weak and fear the strong to the extreme.
This is the case even for those in the East Palace. Everyone can understand that being a king is easy for small situations. I only know how to complain and complain, but it is bad for success. No one here thinks that I will take advantage of this opportunity and do nothing. At that time, he stuck to his duty as a minister and earned face for Wu Xun.
The vacancies in power positions in Guizhou are very greedy. The vacancies for small officials in the border areas are like carrots and holes. The next time the vacancies in Shu are taken over by Ming Sheng, there will be a lot of complaints from the people.
………
In this way, as long as the rebellion can be limited to two provinces, we will not shoot ourselves in the foot. But if we live like this, Xiao Ming's establishment in the two provinces in the next few years will be completely destroyed, except for small towns and important towns. If it can still be preserved, the rest of the prefectures and counties will have to start all over again.
Liu Jinzheng stepped forward and agreed to leave, while Ran Xing frowned slightly. In fact, according to my plan, I was prepared to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, but it seems that my father has no regard for the barbarians in these two provinces. Too little, thinking that we will suffer from internal friction.
