In September of the third year of Jianwen, late autumn.

The mighty Ming army turned back from the southwest, out of Yunnan along the Sichuan and Guizhou provinces to return to Beijing one after another.

In Annan, the new Jiaozhi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department left 20,000 troops, and the Jiaozhi Commander was the envoy, and Chen Chunsheng led the Commander.

Punggara placed the Bengal Guard, Ava State placed the South Burmese Guard, Zhou Yunfan served as the commander of the Bengal Guard, and Gao Su, the commander of the second battalion of the Mountain Army, served as the commander of the South Burmese Guard.

As for the former deputy commander-in-chief of Yunnan and the deputy commander of the mountain army, Ma Dajun followed the imperial drive back to Nanjing, and he was accompanied by He Fu, the commander of the Sichuan capital. These two people will accept Zhu Yunwen's award on the National Day of the fourth year of Jianwen!

Ma Dajun knew that this eye of his had won a Hou for him!

Accompanied by the former king of Annan Chen An and more than a dozen Annan royal families, this little kid will stay in Nanjing for the rest of his life, eating a lifetime of blessed food to death, as for the rest of the people are not so good, the Ministry of Rites will arrange a miscellaneous errand for them to do.

The Chinese army stopped in Chengdu for another three days, mainly because it took a lot of time for Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, to move.

Zhu Chun didn't guess wrong, after the southwest was pacified, his Shu King Domain couldn't be saved.

It is imperative to cut the feudal domain, it's not that Zhu Yunwen doesn't want to divide the feud externally, the prerequisite for the external feud is that how many of these clansmen have the ability to be worthy of the external feud?

Let's talk about the southwest, even if Zhu Yunwen seals Zhu Di in the past?

Zhu Di will fight again, where will the soldiers, food, and ordnance come from?

How many troops does the center have to supply? How many years did it take to support the Yongle Emperor in his feat of opening up South Asia?

Spending countless national resources is not enough for Zhu Di to squander, in the end, the way is wrong, Zhu Di dies and all the countries in South Asia are opposed, and this land will become independent from the arms of the Ming Dynasty, so won't all the expenses of these years be wasted?

It's really not that Zhu Yunwen underestimated the wisdom and ability of the ancients, if the ancients really had a broad vision and thinking, Korea and Annam, which are so close to the Central Plains, have not been successfully assimilated for more than a thousand years. The natives of Guizhou and Liangguang have been part of China since the pre-Qin period, and they are still in turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, is this not enough to explain the problem?

After 2,000 years of assimilation, the Central Plains did not see a nation-state that had been assimilated and was willing to take the initiative to belong to it, but it was all disobedient and rebellious.

The earliest assimilation method in China is the kind of Ji Fa, dividing the royal family to various places, forcing the native people to write Huaxia characters and speak Huaxia language, and the indigenous literature should be burned, and those who speak slang are beheaded, so the 800-year-old Zhou room has made great contributions to Huaxia, and has created the basic conditions for the unification of civilization in the Qin Dynasty.

The first emperor's book is the same text, the car is on the same track, and the weights and measures are unified, which once again strengthens the unity of the Chinese nation and deepens the national concept on the basis of the Zhou royal family, which is the assimilation of the Eight Classics.

Since the Han Dynasty, the hundred schools have been deposed. Confucianism in the Han Dynasty is a very commendable Confucian lecture note, but in the area of assimilation, it is also an idealized one.

That is, empty verbal assimilation.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty invaded the Xiongnu in the north, and the Southern Xiongnu attached to the Ming Dynasty, what a good opportunity for assimilation, but he didn't teach a good baby for two hundred years, and he was all a wolf who killed people without blinking!

As soon as the Han fell, this group of Hun wolf cubs ate our food, killed our people, burned our books, and assimilated what about the results?

So the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty actually knew that assimilation was useless, but they couldn't think of a better way, so they couldn't stop but stubbornly say that as long as assimilation is good, what will happen.

Taking history as a mirror and having a more advanced and developed modern history operation as a reference is the advantage of a traverser.

In terms of assimilation, the best way is to learn from Ji Fa, but that is too cruel and bloody, and it is easy to lead to the counterattack of the river crab beast.

Either he had to learn from John Bull in that way, and Zhu Yunwen made optimizations on the basis of the East India Company, which was enough for the rule of the fifteenth century.

A central native size of such a small John Bull can create an empire on which the sun never sets, ruling a territory far hundreds of times larger than the mainland, and the colonies for hundreds of years, making English the universal language of the world, and the Ming Dynasty, which is far larger than John Bull, as long as it is operated properly, when the productivity reaches in the future and the navigation technology is developed, it is enough to rule unlimitedly.

Even if you can't rule indefinitely, the degree of global sinicization is always more profound than that of British culture, right?

Think about it in the future, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a large group of white skin and colorful hair with a high nose bridge, wearing Ming Confucian shirts singing and dancing, or a large group of children with fat cheeks, their faces flushed in anxiety, from the sentence "Xiao Ming, do you want this gift or that gift?" "This, that." 's recording to judge which gift Xiao Ming wants, isn't it very emotional?

Whether this group of Ming clansmen will be divided in the future depends on how much they can learn from Zhu Yunwen in the future.

For capable clan relatives, Zhu Yunwen will never choose to hold them under his hands and not give them a chance, because his own attitude is already very clear, that is, Huaxia is the standard, as long as everything can make Huaxia good, he can make unlimited concessions.

The point is, these things don't have the ability to do this.

Zhu Gaochi is also a clan relative, but he is quite good at managing politics, and Zhu Yunwen is also rushing to train Zhu Gaochi according to the standards of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Few people knew about Zhu Yunwen's psychological activities, and Zhu Chun was not very comfortable anyway, but after the Chinese army entered the Huguang territory, after Zhu Yunwen went to Zhu Zhen's Chu Palace, Zhu Chun was happy in his heart.

The sixth didn't run away either!

The only way you can amuse an unfortunate person is if you are more unfortunate than him.

Zhu Yunwen is too lazy to use any means to scheming now, it is just a matter of one sentence and one sentence: "The sixth uncle has made great contributions to the town and the country over the years, and I am grateful, and the state affairs in Nanjing are so cumbersome that I always feel incompetent." The foreign officials of the imperial court cannot be trusted in the end, and I hope that the sixth uncle will return to Nanjing with me to share state affairs. ”

When Zhu Yunwen said this, Zhu Di and Zhu Chun were both present, all of them looked at their noses and noses and hearts with an unheard look, Zhu Zhen only looked at them twice, then sighed in his heart, and finally prostrated on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

In this way, Zhu Yunwen, who went out alone before leaving Beijing, returned to three more princes and the families of Shu and Chu, and as for the land they occupied in their respective feudal circles, they were all given to Sichuan and Huguang for free.

The royal businessman's annual profit of hundreds of thousands of taels, these two can be received, since they have legal income, state-owned assets will be spit out.

Where do the two of them dare to say a word, the handle of the knife is in Zhu Yunwen's hand, which prince in the world still dares to have a different opinion?

As for the Chu Wangwei that Zhu Zhen used to guard the native people of southern Hunan, he was also selected by Zhu Yunwen to have a good commander: Liu Zheng, the hundred households who defended Xianzi Pass in the first expedition to Annan.

This kid is a good material, and he has studied in Nanjing for more than a year, so he can take it out for exercise, a mountain army, and several good seedlings have come out.

Taking out Zhu Zhen can also be regarded as a temptation for Zhu Yunwen, because Zhu Zhen, like Zhu Di, belongs to a few vassal kings who hold heavy troops and have a lot of military prestige in their own hands, and even Zhu Zhen is defenseless and restrained, so among the remaining vassal kings who hold military power, only the two feudal domains of Qin and Jin and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, are left.

Under the warm winter sun, Zhu Yunwen was on horseback, and he could already vaguely see the city of Nanjing.

The story of the emperor Zhu Yunwen has just begun.
