"Brother Mu, I have already written down the situation in Hepu County to my father. Please take a break for a few days. I believe that my father's revocation of the imperial edict to arrest Li Jin will be sent out soon."
Seeing that Mu Ying was very determined to capture Li Jin, Zhu Biao had no choice but to use the drag technique.
He has written a detailed memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang, explaining the whole story of the turmoil, and asking for credit for Li Jin, Fu Youde Lanyu and others.
He believed that after Zhu Yuanzhang saw the memorial, he would definitely absolve Li Jin of his fault and give up the arrest of Li Jin.
Seeing that Zhu Biao actually supported Li Jin in this way, Mu Ying couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked curiously:
"Your Highness, what ability does Li Jin have that allows you to protect him like this?"
Zhu Biao then told Mu Ying about Li Jin's past, from the shock in Shanghu County to the massacre on the Japanese island, and finally to the return of Li Jin in Hepu County.
"Brother Mu, Li Jin is a man of great talent, and he will definitely become the pillar of our Ming Dynasty in the future."
"This man's ability is unique. Even Mr. Liu Bowen is full of praise for Li Jin."
"We should win over more talents like this so that we can regain Li Jin and use them for the Ming Dynasty. We must not let him down again and again and chill Li Jin's heart."
After hearing Li Jin's deeds, Mu Ying suddenly fell silent.
He had heard of Li Jin before, but mostly through hearsay.
Now listening to Zhu Biao's personal experience, it is another scene. After all, according to Zhu Biao's narration, Li Jin is simply an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.
He was powerful in governance, invincible in war, and even dared to massacre 300,000 people on the Japanese island. Such a ferocious and violent person was indeed considered a talent.
"Your Highness, why do I feel that the person you mentioned, Li Jin, is so miraculous? Is it too exaggerated?"
Mu Ying was still in disbelief and asked:
"No matter how powerful Li Jin is, he is just a twenty-year-old young man. Isn't he born knowing this?"
Mu Ying didn't want to believe that such a young official knew so many things. It was really unbelievable.
When Zhu Biao saw that Mu Ying looked real and fake, he couldn't help but become a little anxious and said:
"Brother Mu, before you came here, did you know that the southwest chieftains had been rebelling for years?"
Mu Ying nodded and said:
"I know this. I was also involved in the suppression of the rebellion."
Zhu Biao felt happy when he saw that Mu Ying knew about the situation in the southwest, and then continued:
"The southwestern chieftains have rebelled repeatedly, but due to the complex terrain of the southwest, we cannot completely wipe out these chieftains."
"Now this problem has been completely solved in Li Jin's hands."
"I believe that in less than three years, the southwest will definitely become a fertile land for the Ming Dynasty, provide a large amount of tax revenue for the Ming Dynasty, and will never rebel again!"
Mu Ying's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Zhu Biao in surprise and asked tentatively:
"Your Highness, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's absolutely true. Have you heard about the strategy of returning home?"
Zhu Biao said with determination:
"This strategy of reforming the native land and returning it to the local people will definitely solve the problem of chieftains that has lasted for nearly a thousand years."
"Return to the native land?"
Mu Ying looked confused. Although he was a military general, he knew a lot about Ming Dynasty's policies.
But he had never heard of the policy of returning natives to rural areas.
"What it is?"
"It means changing the hereditary chieftain system into a three-year official system!"
Zhu Biao's words were concise and concise, but Mu Ying disagreed, "How could those chieftains accept such conditions?"
"Accept it or die!!"
After Zhu Biao's tempering these days, his temperament gradually began to become slightly sharper.
"Li Jin massacred nearly 300,000 natives in the southwest. All the southwest chieftains who dared to resist were almost slaughtered."
"The remaining toasts dare not resist at all."
"Now our Ming army has penetrated deeply into Shiwanda Mountain and completely controlled the transportation arteries of Shiwanda Mountain. As long as we continue, it won't be long before the southwest will be completely controlled by the Ming army."
"At that time, not only Guangxi, but also the chieftains in Guizhou, Yunnan and southern Sichuan must accept our arrangements."
"Once the reform is successful, the southwest of the Ming Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai, and no one will dare to rebel again."
Zhu Biao's words shocked Mu Ying. He didn't expect Li Jin to be so iron-blooded.
Not only is he cruel to outsiders, he is also so cruel to his own people.
When he heard that Li Jin massacred 300,000 Japanese, he was shocked and speechless. Now he found out that Li Jin was so cruel to these chieftains.
After all, the chieftain was also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty in name. Li Jin would kill as soon as he was told, without any hesitation. He was really a ruthless person.
But as Zhu Biao said, these chieftains are all rebellious. If these people are not beaten painfully, they will never be obedient.
Thinking about it this way, if killing so many chieftains can completely put an end to the trouble of chieftains in the southwest, it would be worthwhile.
Seeing the enthusiasm on Zhu Biao's face, Mu Ying became even more curious about Li Jin, but her intention to capture Li Jin was much less intense.
"In that case, I will stay here for two more days, and the soldiers I will bring with me can also contribute to reforming the country."
"But if the emperor still wants to capture Li Jin, I will never be merciful."
Seeing that Mu Ying was persuaded by him, Zhu Biao hurriedly said:
"Brother Mu, don't worry. I will never make things difficult for you. My father will definitely agree to my memorial."
As time passed, I thought Zhu Yuanzhang would give up on capturing Li Jin, but what happened next surprised Zhu Biao.
