First Prince of Ming Dynasty

At this time, Chang Luohua had no time to talk to Zhu Biao, so he quickly got up and walked to his in-laws, worried that the over-excited father-in-law would drop the child.

In the end, only Zhu Biao dragged his chin and fell into deep thought, and sat up in shock alone in the sedan chair. Is the clown myself?

Sure enough, late marriage, late childbearing, fewer births and better births will make the world auspicious...

Zhu Biao got out of the sedan chair helplessly, and several eunuchs immediately carried the sedan chair out. At this time, Lao Zhu had already carried his grandson to the warmer inner hall under the urging of Queen Ma.

The two-month-old child is very cute and playful. He is not so lethargic and will babble a few times. This is very fresh for Zhu Yuanzhang who missed too many children's childhood.

Of course, it is also Aiwujiwu, after all, this is the grandson of him and Empress Ma, and he is also the heir of the Daming Jiangshan Sheji, undoubtedly pinning more good expectations.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't believe in any gods and ghosts, and naturally he doesn't believe in those secret medicines that prolong life. He knows that he is a human being, and he will still be that Zhu Chongba when he becomes the emperor. It's better to cultivate your own blood inheritance for nothingness.

Come on, call me grandpa, our good grandson, hahaha, sister, look at Yang'er Liang'er's eyebrows and eyes, which are exactly the same as our Biaoer's when he was a child. Hey, the nose also looks a bit like...

Empress Ma looked helplessly at the emperor who was inexplicably excited, but it was understandable, after all, she could often go to the East Palace to visit her two grandchildren, and this was the first time that a certain grandfather had close contact with his grandson.

The two little guys stopped crying at last, and looked around unconsciously with their deflated rosy mouths and big ignorant eyes, and they didn't fall asleep immediately because of the face. The baby's butt hurts and I can't sleep...

Zhu Lu also poked her elder nephew and younger nephew frequently, and even stretched her fingers beside the two of them, giggling after being clenched tightly, and Lao Zhu followed suit after trying it again and again before she moved away contentedly.

After watching happily for half an hour, the two children fell asleep again and were handed over to the nanny before they came out of the apse. At this time, Zhu Biao was already hungry and his chest was pressed against his back.

After a while, Empress Ma and Chang Luohua came out with little classmate Zhu Lu who was still stepping back and forth. Liu Jin immediately passed on the meal, and the long-delayed lunch finally started to be set.

The tradition over the years is that they eat lunch together on New Year's Eve, and dinner and watch the year together, that is, the big family will be together. There are countless specific rules and etiquette, and it is difficult for the Tian family to live a quiet New Year.

Zhu Biao took a mouthful of fatty chicken tofu soup and felt much better. He was so hungry just now that he felt dizzy after drinking tea. People are satisfied.

Have you sent someone to look at the Taimiao priest?

I asked Liu Jin to go and see it this morning. The ceremonies are almost ready. The ceremony can begin after the father and the emperor lead the sons to the Fengxian Hall and send the ancestral tablet to the Taimiao.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, pinched his elbows and said, Okay, this year is about to pass, and it is generally good. Bashu regained Guizhou chieftain and wanted to vote. The southern grain production is abundant and the northern war is going well. So next year will also I can finally free my hands.

Zhu Biao naturally knew what Lao Zhu meant by freeing his hands. In fact, since the first year of Wu, the father and son were trapped. They all turn a blind eye and close one eye, but from the upcoming five years of Hongwu, the situation is different.

After this white disaster, the various tribes in the grassland must have suffered heavy casualties. No matter what Ye Sudieer meant, the grassland would not be able to regain its vitality and invade Daming within a few years, and even worried that Daming would mobilize troops to mop up Liting again.

I am afraid that some of the small tribes that survived by luck will flee north. Even the bitter cold is better than being slaughtered by the Ming Dynasty or becoming cannon fodder for the big tribes of Oara Tatar again.

Those huge tribes had no escape, and it was conceivable that after the beginning of spring, a large number of princes would present gold and silver treasures to the Emperor of Daming, so that Daming would not target their tribes.

Zhu Biao swallowed the food in his mouth and said, I heard that the chieftain of Guizhou, Long Zan Aqi, is planning to go north to meet his father in person. If all goes well, Guizhou will be generally pacified. Guizhou and Yunnan have always been dependent on each other. , it is expected that the envoys of King Liang will soon arrive.

Zhu Yuanzhang happily raised his glass and touched his son: If Yunnan is also attached, then we will immediately send troops to recover the land of Liaodong, so that our Ming territory will basically be complete.

Empress Ma said beside him: If King Liang also surrendered, then Nahachu would not hold on. His so-called 200,000 people will almost be wiped out by Goryeo.

Sister, let's talk about state affairs with our prince, what do you want to interrupt, don't forget that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, remember it in the future!

Empress Ma rolled her eyes: Yes, yes, this is not the time when you Zhu Chongba begged me to take care of this and that.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to hear it, and turned to discuss with his son again. In fact, what he said just now was not only for the queen, but also for the princess Chang Luohua.

He trusts his mother-in-law, and he also believes in Chang Luohua, the daughter-in-law who jumped out by himself, but he can't say for sure in the future. A boudoir woman who governs the country must rely on external forces to control the situation, which will inevitably give some ambitious people The opportunity of the generation usurping power and disrupting the country must be guarded against.

We are going to bestow Han surnames on those big chieftains in Guizhou, and add high-ranking officials and generous salaries to make them feel at ease. The Ministry of Education also means the same.

Zhu Biao nodded and said: Guizhou has established itself as a country for many years. Although it was governed by the Yuan Dynasty, it still refuses to accept Sinicization after all, and it is better to take it slowly.

According to legend, Jihuo, the distant ancestor of the Yi chieftain in Shuixi, was named King of Luodian for his contribution to helping Zhuge Liang conquer the Nanzhong area. He ruled a large area of ​​land including Bijie, Dafang, Qianxi, Zhijin, Nayong, Jinsha and other counties today. Mu Ergoujun Changguo.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, it was called Luo's ghost country, and the ruling center was west of the Yachi River, so it was called Shuixi.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan led an army across western Sichuan and Tubo, wiped out the Dali regime entrenched in Yunnan and Burma, and then entered the Central Plains from Yunnan and Guizhou, and set up a propaganda department in Shuixi, with Acha, the leader of Shuixi, as the leader. Director, began to establish the chieftain system.

However, the Yuan Dynasty did not really control Guizhou during the Yuan Dynasty, because its people were fierce and brave, and there were no precious products produced, so the Yuan Dynasty did not care about it, and did not care if it did not rebel.

Now the Ming Dynasty is also unable to control it, but it still has to be recovered. It will take a few generations to do business, relocate people, and garrison troops. After all, it will be able to completely recover this important area in the southwest, and take advantage of the trend to establish a stable strategic fulcrum for the provinces in the southwest.

As for the present, it can be expected that even though Longzan Aqi, the native king of Guizhou, surrendered to the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty sent officials to establish local yamen, the government managed the local area in name, but in fact it was still the local tribes that controlled finance, justice, and government. Administrative and other powers.

This is also the so-called Juji system. The barbarians are used to control the barbarians, which is different from ordinary state capitals because of their customs. Make mutual compromises and concessions.

This is basically the case in the current Uzbek, Yunnan, Guizhou, Liaodong, and even Korea and Nanyang in the future. If there are too few local Han people, the actual ruling power will inevitably be greatly reduced. After all, the customs of the people are different, and forceful suppression will inevitably provoke a backlash. , is bound to be worth the candle.

For example, Annan was recovered by Zhu Di in history, but he was voluntarily given up by Zhu Zhanji in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty before the Civil War.

Isn’t it because Daming couldn’t make ends meet in Annan? It can be said that Annan is a bottomless pit. The Ming Dynasty spent a lot of financial and material resources in Annan. Spending money and investing in people is not worth the candle.

In order to maintain the rule in Annan, Ming Dynasty lost more than 100,000 troops successively, and the military pay and food expenses were as high as several million. In terms of the food needed by the army and officials in Annan every year, it was transported from the southern provinces every year, and the consumption was second only It was located in the southern and northern capitals at that time.

Such a huge consumption did not bring about the stable rule of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang. On the contrary, the rebels broke out everywhere. Did not send to the capital, the next wave of rebels arrived again.
