Chapter 132: The emperor is not good
"In late spring and March, the grass grows in the south of the Yangtze River, the peanut trees are mixed, and the warblers are flying wildly."
In March, when the upright warbler flies and the grass grows, it is also a good time to go green.
This is the first time that Zhu Yunwen has left Nanjing City since he came to this time and space for four years, if it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of murderous Jin Ge Iron Horses around him who ruined the scenery, then Zhu Yunwen would definitely have a good look at this ancient Jing Jiujun land.
The army went all the way out of Luzhou, along the river to the west to Huguang, and it took more than 20 days to pass through Jingzhou and arrive at Kuizhou, which was regarded as entering the border of Sichuan.
The journey of more than 20 days is 2,000 miles, and this trip is by no means pleasant for Zhu Yunwen.
There were many blisters on the inner sides of his two thighs, and after they were broken, in order not to delay the march, Zhu Yunwen also gritted his teeth and endured it.
The comfortable days have passed for too long, and this is the first time Zhu Yunwen has personally experienced the hardships of trekking through mountains and rivers, and it is inevitable that he will be more admired by the soldiers who relied on a pair of flesh feet to march thousands of miles back then.
It's hard to walk 2,000 miles on horseback, and you can't walk 20,000 miles? What a lot of willpower it takes.
Geng Bingwen approached Zhu Yunwen more than once and proposed to suspend the march, but Zhu Yunwen rejected it, and as for the proposal to take a carriage instead, it was even more impossible.
How can you say that it is also a royal driving expedition, taking a carriage? It's better to call it a parade.
No matter how you say it, Zhu Yunwen is also a man, and he can't lose face.
"When you arrive in Kuizhou, Your Majesty will move to Kuizhou City for two days."
When he was stationed in the village at night, he saw Zhu Yunwen grinning in the handsome tent, and Geng Bingwen persuaded him.
In the end, the emperor is young, he has never experienced a battle when he is young, where can he suffer from this kind of army with fine skin and tender meat?
"Nope."
Zhu Yunwen refused without thinking about it, but as a result, there was a little more strength in his hand, and he gasped in pain: "The marching plan can't be changed, go to Chengdu early, and wait until I get to Chengdu and then leave behind." ”
Geng Bingwen, an old man in his seventies, is still very supportive every day, this tone, Zhu Yunwen said that he has to fight, he can't embarrass Emperor Taizu.
Geng Bingwen sighed, but he was also in admiration, he didn't persuade him anymore, turned his head and walked out of the handsome tent, just in time to bump into the double happiness of preparing medicine.
"Oops, old general."
As soon as he saw Geng Bingwen, Shuangxi was about to cry, and he pulled Geng Bingwen to complain: "Where can the army be so rushed, is it the military situation or Your Majesty's dragon body that is important?" Two days ago, when the slave maid changed the emperor's dressing, the hips were bleeding. ”
Shuangxi jumped in a hurry on the spot, and Geng Bingwen didn't have a way.
"The old man can't persuade him, His Majesty insists on arriving in Chengdu on a fixed day, and the monarch's order cannot be violated."
After speaking, Geng Bingwen also sighed, turned his head and left, he also had to arrange the night ban, where is there any effort to do it here.
Shuangxi was helpless, so he had to open the curtain and walk into the handsome tent, and hurriedly walked to Zhu Yunwen, looking at the pieces of abrasions, crying pitifully.
"Your Majesty, why are you so troubled?"
Zhu Yunwen was stuffing his head to change the dressing, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the movement: "If you have something to say, cry a fart, I'm not dead." ”
The emperor can't be injured? The emperor can't shed blood?
One by one, as for all the fuss.
"Huh?"
Hurriedly changing the medicine, Zhu Yunwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Shuangxi, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Why don't you kid have anything to do?"
No, the big guys are all riding horses, you have to say that Geng Xuan has nothing to do with it, it is understandable, people grow up in the barracks when they are small, this pair of happy people enter the palace when they are small, and they can be regarded as eating blessings and growing up, how can they come down more than 2,000 miles, there is no problem at all?
"Where are slaves and maids worthy to compare with Your Majesty."
Shuangxi scratched his head: "Your Majesty's golden body should be taken by the royal chariot." ”
"."
With a smile and scolding, Zhu Yunwen tied his clothes, walked to the side and washed his hands.
"Has the inscription book from Guizhou been delivered? I asked Chen Heng to change the land and return to the stream, what was the result? ”
Zhu Yunwen is a master who can't be idle, in the past, in Nanjing, dozens of hundreds of copies of the recital to be reviewed every day, and now he is leading the army to go out, where is the idle down, it happens that Huguang is close to Guizhou, thinking of the matter of the toast, so he simply sent someone to Guizhou, and asked for all the recitals about the toast.
Guizhou and Guangxi have not been peaceful, and the Tusi forces in these two places are deeply rooted, and they have not been completely settled for so many years.
Taizu had successively sent Chu King Zhu Zhen and Yang Wen to conquer Guizhou and Guangxi Tusi, at that time he was too lazy to use policies to divide, and it was directly a forced relocation.
As a result, the implementation was relatively smooth at the beginning, and when the army returned, the local authorities did not dare to use such tough measures, resulting in the resurgence of the Tusi tribe soon, and thousands of people, large or small, dared to oppose the government and refused to pay taxes.
Hearing Zhu Yunwen's inquiry, Shuangxi went to the side of the big case and picked out two copies of the recital.
"It was sent yesterday, and the slave didn't dare to disturb it when she saw that His Majesty was sleeping."
"How many times have I said it, but there are state affairs, and we must deal with them on the same day, and we must not slack off. If I don't ask, won't it be delayed again? Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much. ”
With a word of criticism in his mouth, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly looked at it.
There are two copies, one is by Chen Heng, the chief military officer of Guizhou, and the other is by Tang Cheng, the capital of Guizhou.
"These two pieces of waste!"
It's okay not to look at it, but after seeing it, I almost made Zhu Yunwen angry to death.
The purpose of Zhu Yunwen sending Chen Heng was to assist Tang Cheng, implement Taizu's policy, apply both soft and hard, and tell the Tusi of all ministries in Guizhou that those who are willing to move away will be given three years of tax-free land, and those who are unwilling to move are not impossible, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is enough to pay the grain tax from Hongwu 30 to this year in full.
At the same time, Zhu Yunwen asked the cabinet to approve the silver before, and recruited the strong men of the Tusi tribe to enlist in the army according to the high salary, so as to realize the strategy of governing the land with land.
As a result, what are these two transcripts about?
Chen Heng's impeachment of Tang Cheng was unfavorable, and the poor villagers who were willing to join the army and relocate could not get enough relief food on the road, which led to a rebellion of local officials in the three places, and even attacked a military household, resulting in six deaths and seventeen injuries!
And Tang Cheng's recital is even more complete to report good news and not bad news, saying that everything is in good shape, and in a few years, the results should be visible.
Should the results be visible?
"What a sky-high emperor far away!"
Zhu Yunwen slapped the royal case, and he couldn't even care about the pain at the root of his thigh, and paced back and forth in the handsome tent angrily.
"It's been four years! I gave them four years, one of the chief military officers, even a Tusi tribe was not pacified and let people attack the military guard, and the other was the same as the secretary, and he is still dragging with me, and the silver I asked the cabinet to approve is 500,000 taels a year! Whose fucking pocket did it go into? ”
No matter how strong the clan consciousness in Guizhou is, after all, the Ming Dynasty is not the society of 3,000 years ago.
Are there any poor households in Tusi? Are there people who live in hardship?
Yes! And a lot!
The Tusi system itself is extremely backward, and it still pursues the clan rule system that has been left over from thousands of years, and the local officials rule the tribes and encroach on a large amount of resources, and those local people do not necessarily accept the rule.
Why did the cabinet approve the silver?
The purpose is to recruit this part of the local people, realize the noble people to govern the nobles, and realize the payment of taxes on the land.
The result is good, for more than four years, Guizhou Dusi has not made any achievements.
What about the money that the cabinet has set aside for it?
Zhu Yunwen didn't even have to guess to know that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and they thought that as long as the emperor didn't leave Nanjing City, what year and month would he be able to remember Guizhou?
After all, the tax revenue of a province in Guizhou is not even comparable to half of Suzhou Prefecture!
"It's all a bunch of pigs, in vain!"
Zhu Yunwen shouted angrily: "Proposed purpose." ”
In the handsome tent, Yang Pu picked up the brush.
"Guizhou Metropolitan Division knew Tang Cheng and slacked off political affairs, so that in the past four years, Guizhou Tusi has been in chaos and killed! Yu Rang was appointed as a servant. ”
"Chen Heng, the chief military officer of Guizhou, slacked off the military affairs, causing the local officials to rebel and kill and injure the military households, and give him death! Thousands of households in the dragon field, and Wu has to be in charge. ”
After a pause, Zhu Yunwen turned his head to look at Shuangxi again: "You send someone back to Nanjing, and you will die... Let that Jingqing let him go to Guizhou and give me a good check, in the past four years, I have approved the two million taels of silver! ”
Shuangxi nodded busily.
"Your Majesty is angry, rest early, and march tomorrow."
As soon as he mentioned the march, Zhu Yunwen felt a hot pain in his thighs, and he was even more angry in his heart, so he shook his head and walked to the marching bed, still scolding in his mouth.
"The cabinet is also a bunch of bastards, and if there is no progress in four years, don't you know how to send someone to investigate?"
Guizhou and Guangxi, since the year of Taizu, have been a land of swords and fire.
The taxes were extremely low and complicated, and no one in Nanjing's Beijing officials wanted to wade into this pool of troubled waters, and it was easy to step on the thunder if they were not careful.
If it weren't for this trip to Nanjing, and suddenly thought of this incident, Zhu Yunwen might really think that Guizhou has been flat in the past four years!
My leg hurts.
