Bright Spring

The soldiers piled up the severed heads and offered them to the side of the road, and then sprinkled them with cold wine.

Zhu Gaoxu got off his horse and walked to the side of the road surrounded by soldiers.He unfolded the paper in his hand, looked it over, and then read aloud: "The grievances will be avenged, and the dead will rest in peace. The soul has returned, and I have returned to my hometown..."

"Go home, go home..." Countless soldiers of the Ming army made a noise, shouting towards the unfamiliar mountains and forests, as if they were calling for something unknown.

The shouts were loud, echoing in the mountains and forests one after another.So everyone felt that the soldiers and civilians who were massacred were avenged and their souls could go back, and countless people showed satisfied expressions on their faces.After all, the time of being born in this world is limited, but the soul is immortal, at least the living people must think so.

The barbaric yet effective ceremony in the morning calmed people's hearts, and the funeral procession arrived at the Meng Yangsi Office more than ten miles away.The "City of Sin" had already been ignited with a fire that reached the sky, and the entire city was burned down by the Ming army.

The soldiers and civilians slaughtered in the village, the soldiers who died in battle, and the coffins all passed by the fire-filled Meng Yangsi.The team was mighty, and people all looked sideways at the huge "bonfire".

Sixingfa was tied to the horse's back, and seeing that the city was destroyed in the fire and thick smoke, he howled and struggled and fell off the horse.He was lying on the ground still shouting, his face covered with tears, but no one paid attention to him.They just put him back on the horse.

...The prisoners of Meng Yangjun were not killed. Zhu Gaoxu ordered them to be released, and he also asked people to prepare bamboo rafts on the banks of the Dajinsha River, so that the prisoners could cross the river on rafts and go to the territory west of the Dajinsha River Find the rest of the Si family.

Zhu Gaoxu asked Diao Ya to translate his words in public, and told the natives, "The Si Clan rebelled, and the outcome of the battle to put down the rebellion has been decided. If the remaining members of the Si Clan want to repair it, we can still talk about it. Maybe this king can bring it back. Thoughts and actions are also released."

Zhao Ping was the first to turn his head when he heard the need to let go of his thoughts and actions, but he finally remained silent.

When everyone returned to the barracks, Wang Bin and others hurriedly persuaded: "The crime of thinking and acting is extremely heinous, the prince does not need to be kind to him."

Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the generals on the left and right, and said calmly: "I heard that Sixingfa has a younger brother who has grown up. Even if I want to let Sixingfa go, does his brother want us to let him go back?"

After hearing this, all the generals suddenly fell in love with Zhu Gaoxu's strategy (routine).

This time Zhu Gaoxu didn't send envoys to discuss peace, but Si Shi sent someone on his own initiative.

The envoy was sent by Si Xingfa's second brother, and asked to meet the King of Han in secret.The envoy quietly made a request, asking the King of Han not to let Sijia brother go; because the second brother, Si Renfa, has been elected by the clan to become the new leader.

Zhu Gaoxu was ready to agree to the request of the new leader Si Renfa, so the two sides resumed their peace talks.

The Si family promised not to harass the villages and mines east of the Dajinsha River; the Mengyang Division moved westward and ruled all the land west and north of the Dajinsha River to the Naga Mountains.

The king of Han and the Yunnan government agreed with Yi to occupy the existing territory, and recognized Si Renfa as the leader of Meng Yangsi; after Meng Yangsi sent an envoy to Beijing to pay tribute, the Ming court officially conferred Si Renfa as the consolation envoy of Meng Yang.

The Yunnan government recognized the covenant signed at the beginning of the second year of Yongle, that is, to pay Sishi 800 taels of silver every year, and has the exclusive right to buy all jadeite ores.Once the homesickness provokes the conflict again, the dividend payment will stop.

... Countless people died on both sides, and the manpower and military expenses were useless.The Si family lost the flat plateau to the east of the Dajinsha River, and as a result, they could only get 800 taels of silver per year as a mining profit. The bloody conflict did not give them any more benefits.

If the Ming army relied on its own strength and wanted to completely destroy Meng Yangsi, what awaited them would be a long time and long-term military expenditure.

What's more, even if Meng Yangsi is destroyed, there are too few Han people here, and in the end Meng Yangsi's territory can only be divided up by the surrounding chieftain forces.Isn't Myanmar more powerful?

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu no longer wants to continue to fight with homesickness, endlessly affecting the excavation of emerald ore.He also hopes that his actions can make all parties in this wild land get used to following some rules... Otherwise, no one will be able to make good money in the end.

The original signed treaty remains unchanged.Everything seems to be back to the original point.

Chapter 284 Sun Moon City

The second year of Yongle is approaching the end of the year, and Zhu Gaoxu is still in the barracks.

At this time, he received a letter from Kuaima in Kunming City, saying that Princess Han gave birth to her son successfully on September [-]th.The Changshi Mansion has sent envoys to the capital to announce the good news according to Zhu Gaoxu's intention before leaving, and asked the emperor to give him a name.

Zhu Gaoxu checked the time. When Guo Wei gave birth, it was the eve of his decisive battle with the Sixingfa army.

Guo Wei is only 16 years old this year, and Zhu Gaoxu was very worried about her health and safety.He thought he could end Meng Yang's war as soon as possible and rush back to stay by Guo Wei's side, but he failed... Anyway, now that he finally heard the news that Guo Wei was safe, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the letter, stood at the door of the big tent, and watched the smoky scene between the sky and the earth.People are burning|burning forests and building new cities.He thought to himself that he would stay here for a while.

The books of later generations say that war is the continuation of politics.At this time, the end of the war is at least the beginning of another kind.

Zhu Gaoxu mainly made new deployments for the three parties.

On the one hand, he wrote a letter to Tatomapoye, the Burmese comfort envoy, asking the Burmese minister to abide by the rituals of the top and bottom, to guard the land, and to seek the well-being of the Zen and Burmese people; Treaty and Covenant.Then he formed an alliance with Diao Tuyu, the peace and comfort envoy of Pingburan, and agreed to jointly manage the Dongwu Plateau east of the Dajinsha River.

The original Mengyangsi government office has been destroyed by the fire, and the city will be moved westward to the vicinity of the Emerald Mine.The soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty and the civilians of Ping Burma are jointly building a new city, which is named "Daming City" after the local native people's customary title.

Daming City and all the native villages to the east of the Great Jinsha River are ruled by the Diao family; the Yunnan government only dispatched a few officials to serve as a few officials in Daming City to know everything.

Zhu Gaoxu's consideration for letting the Diao family take over the place is very simple. The natives of Mengyangsi and the natives of Pingmensi are of the same |literature |same|species.This place is too far away from Yunnan, if the Han officials are directly ruled, there will be more problems.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Diao clan of Pingmen Division was low, as Zhu Gaoxu had seen with his own eyes in this war.He didn't think that the Diao clan would rebel at all. If they rebelled, the Ping Burma Army would definitely be more vulnerable than the Si clan's troops; what he was worried about was that the Diao clan would not be able to suppress the chieftain forces around them.

...So the Ming army will continue to maintain its military presence near Daming City.

Near Daming City under Diao's jurisdiction, a new military town is being built at this time, called "Jinsha Thousand Households".

In the future, there will be [-] soldiers and their families stationed here.Tengchong Qianhusuo is no longer the most remote military town, and Jinsha Qianhusuo is about to become the farthest military stronghold of the Ming army in the southwest.

After discussing with the generals, Zhu Gaoxu personally planned the construction of the city.

He had played a game before and knew about the existence of something called Bastion.But after learning about the power of the firearms of the Ming army, he thought that the low city walls were not practical; the military towns still used rammed earth to build thick and tall walls, just like the city walls in the interior.At this time, the city wall mainly prevents the enemy soldiers and ants from climbing and attacking the city, so the high wall is the best fortification.

In view of Zhao Ping's inability to resist the lesson of the chieftain army, the Jinsha Thousand Households will be built smaller to avoid the drawbacks of scattered troops tired of defending the wall.The military town of Qianhusuo no longer provides sites for civilians and shops, and has become a military town with only military functions.

Later, when Daming City was attacked by chieftain troops, the military town of Qianhusuo could provide military support for the "Daming City" with the momentum of Jijiao.

If the situation deteriorated and the Diao family and the Ming army's stronghold could no longer control the situation, the Ming army would retreat within the high walls of the Jinsha Thousand Households; relying on fortifications and grain storage, they could not defend themselves and wait for reinforcements.

The soldiers who have been stationed there for a long time must be more familiar with the terrain, climate and military situation.As long as they hold their strongholds and wait for the Ming army to send troops to help, the right time, place and people will fight, which will be completely different from before.

... Tens of thousands of people built the city here, as long as it is sunny, the sky and the earth will be filled with smoke and dust.However, in this barren land, most of the natives live in the form of villages, so it is rare to see such a lively scene.

The city hasn't been built yet, but a name has already been circulated among the natives: Sun Moon City.Junzhen is Sun City, and Daming City is Moon City.

……

During the twelfth lunar month, the first rain and snow fell in the capital.The fine snowflakes and raindrops floated in the air together, like fog and smoke.Magnificent palaces with double eaves, countless pavilions and bridges, all the scenes are shrouded in rain and snow, making them hazy, but more wintery.

Two groups of armored soldiers in front of Hongwu Gate stood under the city tower, their helmets and shoulder armor were covered with a layer of snow.A little girl of a few years old was passing by with a steaming steamed bun. She turned her head curiously to look at the motionless defender, and asked in a childish Mandarin, "Are you cold?"

The sergeant said: "It's not cold." The little girl suddenly ran over from the adult, raised her head and handed the buns: "Here you eat." The sergeant squatted down and pushed the buns away, his voice had a Peking accent : "You eat, we will change shifts in a while, and there is a fire."

The adult holding an umbrella hurried over, gave the little girl a hand, and clasped his fists together, saying, "Your child is ignorant, so don't blame the military master."

...But at this time, in the imperial city of Hongwumen, the inside of Yumen is very warm.The first-class smokeless charcoal was burning vigorously in the copper basin, and some officials who were dressed too thickly stood beside the brazier, and even wanted to take off two coats.

Xie Jin, an official of the Imperial Academy, arched his hands and faced the superior, and was talking, "I heard that the King of Han was arrogant|extravagant|dissolute|leisure in Yunnan Mansion, and used carefully selected lamb fur for the footsteps in the carriage..."

The emperor on the throne didn't say a word, waiting for Xie Jin to say there, the emperor didn't even respond at all.

Among the ministers on both sides, some even buried their hair in secret and laughed.Because Xie Jin's impeachment is really boring. Were there clan vassals in the Ming Dynasty who were punished for extravagance and coveting enjoyment?

However, Xie Jin continued: "The King of Han was fighting for wealth with King Ning in Yunnan. He bought a pair of jade objects called 'Heavenly Match' with a huge sum of [-] guan! Comparing each other in learning etiquette is beneficial and harmless!

The king of Han was very happy and bold, and he fought fiercely with the chieftain wantonly.The king of Han had a gap with the Si family because of the benefits of the jade mine, so he cut it first and then played it. He even mobilized [-] people to attack Meng Yangxuanwei envoy without authorization.Your Majesty, please take back the power of the King of Han to intervene in Yunnan's military administration..."

At this moment, eunuch Hou Xian walked into Fengtianmen.He came to the side of the throne from the side, and stood there first and did not come closer, because at this time the emperor was listening to the ministers talking about business.
