When the chamberlain and palace maids helped Zhu Zhishu to the recliner and shouted to find a doctor, Zhang Mingwei walked over, waved them to be quiet, and then looked at the King of Shu who had his eyes closed tightly.
If it were someone else, these chambermaids and maids might never be so obedient. After all, the King of Shu fainted! But where is the power of Duke Xing, who dares not to listen?
After looking at Zhu Zhishu, Zhang Mingwei didn't know that he was pretending, so he said calmly: "I have already said that according to the rules of the king of Zhou and the king of Chu, the matter of fiefdom is not negotiable. But the emperor And I will compensate those who voluntarily give up their fiefdoms."
Seeing that Zhu Zhishu's eyebrows seemed to move, Zhang Mingwei curled his lips slightly, and then continued: "Just like the king of Zhou, a vassal king who actively responds to national policies can choose overseas fiefdoms by himself. Unfortunately, I know where overseas. There are mountains of gold and silver, as well as iron ore, etc. The reserves are hundreds of millions of kilograms, and they can be mined for hundreds of years."
Having said this, he paused and said in a colder voice: "For an inactive vassal king, not only will the fiefdom still have to be nationalized, but the vassal land overseas will also have no choice, as it will be designated by the court!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Mingwei looked at Zhu Yuyao, blinked and said: "Princess Kunxing, the King of Shu is fainted, so he probably didn't hear what I just said. Now I'm going to the governor's Yamen to seal the land account books. You stay here and wait. After the King of Shu wakes up, he conveys my message that if he voluntarily cooperates with the imperial government's national policy, he can choose a treasure land that I have reported to the emperor before."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Sir, wait for me." Upon hearing this, Zhu Ainao immediately followed and said loudly, "The King of Shu doesn't seem to be happy with me. There's no point in keeping him. Let's go together!"
"..." Zhu Zhishu closed his eyes when he heard this, and was speechless. This man had turned his arms outward before he got married. He didn't care about the person named Zhu at all?
Princess Kunxing is accompanying Duke Xingguo, and everyone knows that she will definitely marry Duke Xingguo in the future. Of course Zhu Zhishu also knew this.
Thinking about this fiefdom and looking at this situation, it seems that it will definitely not be saved. Moreover, he is not the first to do this. Didn't he say that there are other examples of King Zhou and King Chu? They have all been vassals since the Hongwu period.
Thinking like this, Zhu Zhishu didn't care about his face anymore, pretended to shout "Ah!" and opened his eyes.
Seeing that Duke Xing Guo and Princess Kun Xing had walked to the door, and when he heard the noise and turned around to look over, he quickly pretended to be surprised and said: "What happened to me just now? Hey, are you going to leave? This matter We haven’t finished discussing it yet, right? The national policy set by the emperor cannot be so careless, let’s discuss it carefully, right?”
"..." When the palace maids heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.
This time, they finally got to know the vassal king they served, who turned out to be as thick-skinned as the city walls of Chengdu!
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Ayao looked at each other and smiled, then turned and walked back. It would be best if the feudal king could cooperate.
This time, Zhang Mingwei didn't mind the trouble and used King Rui to attract the resentment of King Shu. This was also taken into consideration.
After turning around, Zhang Mingwei spent some time and said what he just said again.
When Zhu Zhishu heard this, he quickly asked the question he had been wanting to ask: "My lord, is there really such a treasure land? You can't lie to me!"
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei just smiled faintly, reached out to Liu Jinyi who was standing behind him, and got a world map he drew himself. He placed it in front of Zhu Zhishu, then pointed at Lu Song and said: "Zhou Wang was the first vassal king to actively cooperate with the national policy, so this place will be the fiefdom of King Zhou. Not only is it close to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, but the gold and iron mines here are very large."
Having said this, he patted the place where Australia would later be located with his hand and said: "Here is one of the largest iron mines in the world. The place is so big and there are many rare and rare animals. If your Highness is satisfied, I can I'll tell you, I believe the emperor will cut off the flesh."
Having said this, he glanced at Zhu Yuluo, then turned back to Zhu Zhishu and said: "There are not many treasures I know. The emperor originally wanted to leave them to the prince. But the emperor was wise and adjusted the national policy, so he wanted to reward him first. A feudal prince with a positive attitude."
After finishing speaking, seeing Zhu Zhishu still staring at the map and meditating, Zhang Mingwei added: "If we want to revive the Ming Dynasty, the vassal clan is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed. The emperor is a wise master and has made up his mind. This problem will be left for future generations, so this vassal king will never waver in the national policy of vassal overseas."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhishu finally raised his head, looked at him and confirmed: "My lord, is this really the largest iron mine in the world and a treasure land with many rare and exotic animals?"
"Absolutely!" After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei immediately said without hesitation, "I can swear to this!"
After finishing speaking, he added in his mind: You have never seen a kangaroo, and you have definitely never seen a savage. These are all in that place.
As the Duke of Xingguo, they all responded with oaths, which made Zhu Zhishu feel reassured.
More importantly, he has realized that he actually has no choice. Even if he doesn't agree, judging from Duke Xingguo's attitude, he will definitely come forward. Instead of doing this, it's better to make a fortune.
So, just like that, under Zhang Mingwei's hard and soft tactics, Shu King Zhu Zhishu finally agreed.
If he takes the initiative to cooperate, the next thing to be done will definitely be much smoother. It will also be much easier to clean up things in other places, such as donations, things in the name of the King of Shu, and hidden houses, etc.
This is the third round of rectification of Shu. It has experience, and this is why Zhang Mingwei knows that it will be much easier if the King of Shu actively cooperates.
After taking care of the King of Shu, Zhang Mingwei went to the Sichuan Governor's Yamen.
At this time, the results of the battle outside the city were also reported one after another. Of course, Jin Yiwei also went to understand the situation in Chengdu Mansion and also reported it.
In this battle outside the city, more than 50,000 rebels and bandits were killed or injured, most of whom were trampled on each other and fled for their lives. Not even one tenth of the people actually killed or injured by the imperial cavalry.
The number of captured rebels and bandits, including those who escaped and returned to surrender, totaled more than 567,000, including more than 8,000 cavalry.
There are probably more than 270,000 rebels under the chieftain's name, and they are still being counted. The others are Han people from Shu, who were either kidnapped or were originally bandits and rebels.
So far, a total of two chieftains have been captured alive, one chieftain has been beaten to death, and the other chieftains have basically escaped.
Zhang Mingwei understood this and had no intention of blaming his generals.
At that time, facing nearly so many rebels, and there were only about 50,000 in total on our side, it was impossible to take care of them. We did not have enough manpower to defeat the rebels and rebels, and to recruit them.
Not to mention, those chieftains all have horses and personal guards. When they see something is wrong, they are not stupid enough to stay and leave. It was impossible for the cavalry to pursue them one by one as they fled wildly on horseback. In such a chaotic situation, how can you tell who is who?
Hou Xun and Zuo Liangyu, the two rebel leaders, had the same reason. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately threw down their flags and ran away, but they were also not caught.
Zhang Mingwei also didn't care about this. Even if he escaped, he would still be a lost dog.
And to say the least, if Zuo Liangyu had not escaped when he was in the capital, he would not have joined forces with the chieftain.
Nowadays, the chieftains in Shu have basically rebelled due to his various methods. This was actually a good thing for the court, as it could change the situation and truly solve the local Tu emperors, thereby once and for all solving the situation where the chieftains in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty often made troubles and even rebelled.
Shu is surrounded by mountains, and the Shu road leading to Qin is under the control of the imperial court. On the other side of the Yangtze River, Zhang Mingwei also deployed heavy troops. No thieves or rebels in Shu could even think of escaping. go out. Their only way is to hide in the mountains or jump into Yunnan and Guizhou.
This was in Zhang Mingwei's original plan, because Yunnan and Guizhou also had many chieftains who often rebelled against the court, and they also needed to be repatriated. Driving the Ming rebellion to Yunnan and Guizhou together is the time to solve the Yunnan-Guizhou problem together.
At this point, it’s a bit far to say this. After all, most of Shu is still under the control of bandits and rebels. The Battle of Chengdu only defeated the main force of the rebels and part of the bandit army, and controlled the most fertile area in Shu.
Zhang Mingwei didn't need to say much about the prisoners. He started to register the prisoners based on his past experience to facilitate the next arrangements. With such a large number of people, it will take at least a few days.
As for the situation of the Chengdu Defense War, since Zhang Mingwei already knows about it, of course he has to deal with it.
Sichuan Governor Chen Shiqi failed to take responsibility and did nothing. Zhang Mingwei directly dismissed him from his post and escorted him back to the capital to be dealt with by the court. In addition, Sichuan Governor Liu Zhibo was brave enough to take up his duties and ordered him to temporarily act as Sichuan Governor. In the imperial court, it is a sure thing to change the official position.
Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to go from inspector to governor. The patrol inspector only inspects the place on behalf of heaven. Although the power is great, the level is very small. As for the governor, he was the real official of the frontier.
This kind of leapfrog promotion is absolutely shocking. However, for Duke Xingguo, there are examples of people directly recommended by the Changsha prefect to become ministers of the cabinet. This kind of transition from inspector to governor is actually not uncommon.
But for Liu Zhibo, it was definitely a great joy and the greatest excitement. As a result, he could clearly see the matter of collecting money and grain from local gentry and became much more active.
Zhang Mingwei also had a report for Qin Liangyu.
