Chongzhen Chat Group

As soon as he heard what he said seriously, Zhao Yu immediately became more serious and listened attentively.

But Zhu Xieyuan didn't say anything immediately, he just looked at Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin. The implication is very obvious.

When Qin Liangyu saw it, he understood what was going on. He immediately made an excuse and left with his son and daughter-in-law holding hands.

Zhao Yu was a little surprised when he saw this. He didn't know what was wrong with what Governor Zhu said next, but he actually asked Qin Liangyu and the others to avoid it?

When only the two of them were left in the tent, Zhu Xieyuan slowly whispered: "If the King of Tang wants to occupy the land of Dongwu, I'm afraid it will shock the chieftains on the border of Ming Dynasty. I have been dealing with many chieftains in the southwest for a long time. I know their thoughts clearly. If someone is willing to provoke them, the chieftains on the border might secretly join forces with Dongwu."

At this point, he was afraid that Zhao Yu wouldn't understand, so he explained in detail: "Dongwu's predecessor was our Ming Dynasty's Burmese military and civilian propaganda envoy. Seriously speaking, Dongwu was also one of my Ming Dynasty chieftains, but It's just that he doesn't accept the king's change. Now the king of Tang has shown his intention to occupy his territory and become a vassal state. If he uses this to provoke the chieftains on the border of Yunnan and says that the Ming Dynasty is doing this to Dongwu today, there is no guarantee that he will not do this to them in the future. There are too many similar words. , those chieftains are afraid that their territory will be treated equally by the Ming Dynasty, and it is not impossible for them to lose their minds and do something! "

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu was shocked. When the two armies are fighting, if a friendly army suddenly stabs them in the back, the Ming army may really be in danger.

Before he could speak, Zhu Xieyuan said again: "Many chieftains will not be loyal to our Ming Dynasty. The She'an Rebellion is an example. The court must be on guard against these chieftains. Even in the long run, the reform of soil It is inevitable to return home. And this is not good for these chieftain leaders. I am afraid there are many people who are unwilling to submit!"

The chieftain system of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the Yuan Dynasty and reached its peak due to historical reasons. After the rule of the Ming Dynasty was stabilized, those chieftain areas with mature conditions implemented the policy of returning natives to their hometowns. This policy reached its climax in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. No court would allow the chieftain system to exist for a long time. Probably because of the chieftain system, it can be summed up as "officials of the world, soil of the world, and people of the world." In other words, the chieftain chief is hereditary, the territory is hereditary, and the people he belongs to are his slaves for generations. This is like a small kingdom.

Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, the chieftains also had to pay tribute to the court and pay certain taxes to symbolize that the chieftains were part of the Ming Dynasty. But as far as the Central Plains dynasty is concerned, it is definitely better than returning to their native land, and the chieftain leader naturally does not want to return to his native land. This is the root of the conflict.

Zhu Xieyuan has been in the southwest for many years and knows the thoughts of the chieftain leaders very well. When he led the troops to quell the She'an Rebellion, he mostly used strategies to alienate people and counterattack people's hearts. If he did not understand the thoughts of the chieftain leader, his strategy would not be successful.

After he explained it in detail, Zhao Yu finally understood what he was worried about, and immediately nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, I will report it to the emperor immediately."

After finishing speaking, he stood motionless in front of Zhu Xieyuan and entered the chat group to report to the emperor.

Zhu Xieyuan looked at him and couldn't help but be secretly amazed. He was the one who led the troops in the war, and his first thought was that if he had such ability during the war, he wonders how much easier the war would be! Suddenly, he realized again, could it be that the repeated victories in the Liaodong battlefield were because the emperor used this ability on the battlefield?

While he was thinking about it, he saw Zhao Yu come back to his senses, and said to him in a low voice with a serious face: "The emperor also thinks that what he said is reasonable, and Mr. Min Ge has been reminded. In addition, Uncle Zhonglie, the governor What do you think, adults?"

At this point, he added in a low voice: "Just now I saw the Governor asking him to avoid me, so I wanted to ask."

Zhu Xieyuan listened and looked at Zhao Yu, who was a little confused. Is this question the emperor wants to ask, or is it really Zhao Yu's own question? However, no matter who asked, he answered truthfully in a low voice: "Uncle Zhonglie was in charge of Shizhu, and she was granted a title as a woman. The emperor's kindness to her was unprecedented. And Uncle Zhonglie's natal family is The family is full of loyalists. I see that he himself is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will not be suspicious of the court because of possible things. The emperor mobilized the Baigan Army to go to Dongwu. I am afraid he also understands the loyalty of Uncle Zhonglie. Therefore, Uncle Zhonglie will not has a problem!"

Hearing what he said, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Zhonglie is fine, that’s the best!

"I asked him to evade just now, not because he doubted his loyalty, but because he was talking about the chieftain's government. After all, it was inconvenient to listen to, that's all." After Zhu Xieyuan said this, he turned around and walked out, as if nothing happened. But when he just arrived at the door, he turned around and said to Zhao Yu who had followed him out to see him off: "If it's convenient for you, just report to the emperor on my behalf. If Dongwu still needs military support, as long as there is money and food, If we can dial it down, there are plenty of troops here that can fight!"

The Ming Dynasty did not have no soldiers, but no money. For Zhu Xieyuan, suppressing civil strife for the Ming Dynasty was far less desirable than opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty. If the feudal feudal overseas policy of the vassal kings is implemented, the Ming Dynasty will expand its borders and expand its territory, which will surely set off a new round of actions. He was looking forward to this.

Lian Po is old and can still eat three big bowls of him!

With the money and food provided by the king of Tang, Qin Liangyu led the five thousand white pole army and quickly set off, all the way to Dongwu.

At the same time, there were earth dragons heating the Forbidden City, and the palace was very warm. Emperor Chongzhen was playing mahjong with Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Yuan and the newly promoted Concubine Hai, which was quite lively.

Originally, Empress Zhou was asked to play together, but even though Emperor Chongzhen said that they should have fun during the Spring Festival, she did not agree. So Emperor Chongzhen started playing with three noble concubines.

Just playing around, Emperor Chongzhen began to wander off.

Putting down the She'an Rebellion was enough to prove Zhu Xieyuan's commanding ability. Judging from the scale of the war, the abilities he displayed were even higher than Min Hongxue. Of course, the reason why I value promoting Min Hongxue is not because of his ability to lead troops in war, but because of the measures he implemented to ease people's livelihood during his time in Yunnan. There is another one that he recommended by Wen Tiren.

"Touch!" Concubine Tian was heard shouting with laughter like a silver bell.

When Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses, he realized that the concubine Tian Guifei had touched the one he had thrown out. Seeing her smiling face, he didn't care, so he smiled and started playing mahjong again.

But soon, his eyes began to wander again, and he continued to think about what just happened.

What Zhu Xieyuan said through Zhao Yu is indeed very reasonable. It would be a pity if this talented person could not be put to good use. I don’t know why, but I haven’t heard of his reputation in later generations. Logically speaking, he is more or less capable than Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others, right?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that in the original history, after Zhu Xieyuan had put down the She'an Rebellion, he still needed to continue to frighten the southwest and was unable to leave. Finally, he died in office in March of the 11th year of Chongzhen, and did not have the opportunity to go to the battlefields of the Central Plains and Liaodong. Because of this, his popularity in later generations was much smaller.

What he reflected on the toast issue was indeed something that needed to be resolved. But it is not yet time to deal with the chieftains. At least we have to wait for the feudal feudal kings to settle overseas affairs before we have the energy to take action against so many chieftains in the Ming Dynasty. If Zhu Xieyuan were to preside over this matter, he would be the best choice. It's just a pity that Zhu Xieyuan is already old, and he may not be able to wait for that day.

From the meaning of his words, it seems that he still wants to participate in Dongwu's matter, but Dongwu already has Min Hongxue. What about other Southeast Asian countries?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but get excited. He clapped his hands and his palms hurt. He came to his senses immediately and saw that he had knocked over his mahjong tiles.

"Your Majesty, are you confused?" Concubine Yuan was a little surprised.

"It's impossible that it's so fast. Let me take a look!" Concubine Tian leaned over to verify.

Hai Lanzhu was also confused. He had already stared at Emperor Chongzhen's card, and then pointed at the card and said: "It's not confusing, the emperor is a liar, the emperor is a swindler!"

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he stood up with a smile and said to Empress Zhou behind him: "No, I've been seen through. Come and take my place! A family that celebrates the New Year should be happy, so relax!" "

After hearing what he said, the three noble concubines followed suit and invited them again. No matter what the three of them think, they must always act like sisters in front of the emperor!

Empress Zhou had already seen at this time that the emperor was busy. Seeing that the emperor invited her to have fun again and again, she felt that she was very important in his heart, so she did not refuse the kindness again.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on a recliner and watched his four wives playing mahjong. Then he entered the chat group and privately chatted with the commander of the Jinyi Guards Liu Xingzuo: "Collect all the news about Annan and send it to the southwest immediately and give it to Shaobao." Zhu Xieyuan.”

What he just thought of was to arrange for Zhu Xieyuan to deal with Annan's affairs and bring Vietnam into the Ming Dynasty. In this way, when the Ming Navy sets foot in Southeast Asia or even Australia in the future, it can use Annan as a supply point or starting point.

Ah, I have a really hard life. During the New Year, I will prepare for the Ming Dynasty. Instead of enjoying the blessings of the people, I will focus on planning the bright future of the Ming Dynasty!

When Emperor Chongzhen was in the mood to make fun of himself, there was no New Year atmosphere at all in the Togo Awa area. There were just groups of soldiers.

In the past, Dong Wu was the Ming Dynasty's military and civilian propaganda envoy to Myanmar. He did not have a calendar, so he used the Ming Dynasty calendar. There are also many Ming people in Donggo, spreading various technologies. Everything in the Ming Dynasty was the fashion of the Celestial Kingdom at that time, and was sought after by Dongwu people. Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty celebrated the New Year, Dongwu also celebrated the New Year.

In the mountain forest a hundred miles north of Ava City, a not-wide official road winds around the foot of the mountain. In a forest not far from the official road, a group of people were leaning against a tree, closing their eyes and meditating. No one spoke, only the wind blew in the forest and the birds chirped.

Suddenly, someone took out a kettle and looked up to drink, only to find that there were only one or two drops of water, not even a sip of water. He swallowed, stood up, and wanted to walk towards the sound of rushing water in the forest.

At this time, someone looked at him and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

"Master Fu, my subordinates are out of water. Go get some water for a drink." The man also replied in Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

When Fu Yuman heard this, he frowned and said, "Military regulations prohibit drinking raw water!"

"Haha, it's okay. I've been drinking raw water for so many years and nothing has happened to me!" After hearing this, the man smiled and said, "I've been here for a day and a night, and I'm very thirsty."

Hearing the two of them talking, others opened their eyes and looked at the two of them. To be honest, this rule did not exist in the army before. It was newly promulgated before the expedition, which made many of them a little uncomfortable. To drink water, you have to boil it. I don’t know who came up with this trick. It’s so troublesome, and I’ll do whatever it takes for poor soldiers like me!

When Fu Yuman heard this, he said seriously: "Do you know who proposed this? Do you have to ask the army to drink boiled water?"

In the past, even he himself was used to drinking directly from the stream when he wanted to drink water. It was so enjoyable! But at this time, he had to strictly implement military regulations.

"Who?" Many soldiers were very curious and asked quickly.

Some soldiers even said: "Isn't it the one who is stupid because of reading..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Yuman quickly interrupted: "It's the Emperor! The Emperor said that there are things in the water that we can't see with the naked eye, and some of them are poisonous. Only by boiling the water can these poisons be removed. This will reduce the chance of getting sick!”

"..." Upon hearing this answer, all the soldiers were stunned. They didn't expect that this was actually requested by the emperor, and that it had such an incredible explanation. The soldier who had just said that reading was stupid, subconsciously closed his mouth, lowered his head, and tried to reduce his sense of presence as much as possible. I thought to myself, what a risk, I almost said something treacherous!

Fu Yuman looked at their expressions and said seriously: "I didn't believe it in the past, but this time the army marched south, as far as I know, there have been a lot less illnesses and diarrhea, do you understand?"

Having said this, he sighed in a low voice: "The emperor's ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He even knows such things. He is really a saint!"

Fu Yuman is the general manager, so he naturally has more information than his subordinates. The words spoken at this time are also authoritative among his subordinates. Therefore, when he finished speaking, his men immediately believed him. The man who wanted to fetch water came back and could only lick his dry lips.

A colleague saw him and threw his kettle over. After the man finished drinking, he whispered to himself: "Are all Donggo's scouts dead?"

Thanks for the reward for quickly coming up with a name!
