Chapter 280: The Policy of Restraint
On the fifth day after that day, the news finally came from the southwest, after Fu Youde's soldiers besieged Chengdu, Mingsheng tied his hands and drove a coffin, and surrendered to Kaicheng with his mother Peng and his official subordinates, Tang He wrote a personal letter asking the emperor what to do.
In ancient times, it was a communication trouble, but fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang's will had been sent to Bashu three days ago, and it had been written how to deal with it if Mingsheng surrendered, and Tang He could start to deal with it after receiving the will.
That night, specific information came from the pro-army Governor's Mansion, it turned out that their people had contacted Mingsheng's mother Peng, and under coercion and temptation, Peng took the initiative to persuade Mingsheng to surrender.
With the leadership of the Queen Mother, the ministers of Xia Guozhong who had long secretly taken refuge naturally supported it, only the right prime minister Liu Ren insisted that he should give up Chengdu and continue to flee south, relying on the geographical advantages to refuse to defend the pass, but unfortunately the general trend is the trend, not to mention Liu Ren, even the resurrection of Zhuge Wuhou is difficult to stop the general trend of Haohao Tangtang.
The court was full of congratulations, Zhu Yuanzhang also gave a banquet, and issued an amnesty for Bashu, all those who surrendered voluntarily will not be prosecuted, and no taxes will be levied this year, and the people of Bashu will recuperate.
Liu Bowen and others also officially set off, they also had to rush to Bashu to take charge of the overall situation, Zhu Biao added Liu Bowen's son to it, so that Liu Bowen also had someone to serve along the way, after all, Bashu is different from the Central Plains, Liu Bowen has a good one, and the court has to bother.
At this time, Zhu Biao also transferred the prefect of Hangzhou to Zhongshu Province, Chen Youzong had already kowtowed to the East Palace, and Zhu Biao didn't say much, but the newly established General Political Envoy is currently set as the chief official of the fourth grade, and Zhu Biao intends to let him serve as it.
There are also a lot of children of the Jiangnan clan who accompanied them, but they are not qualified to visit the East Palace, and they have no official and no occupation and it is not easy to arrange, so Zhu Biao first let them enter the Guozijian to study, if they have the ability, they can come out.
Most of the people in Fengyang have also been transferred back by Zhu Biao, and more than 200 new scholars from last year have also been sent to local posts, among which Guo Chong naturally entered the Hanlin Academy, after all, he is the champion, and this place in the Hanlin Academy is not something that ordinary people can be qualified to enter.
It is a place to cultivate talents and store hope, responsible for repairing books and writing history, drafting edicts, serving for members of the royal family, serving as an examiner for the imperial examination, etc., and has a noble status, which is an important cornerstone for becoming an important minister of the imperial court and even local officials.
Zhang Fan should be edited for the Hanlin Academy, but this person wants to experience in the local area, Zhu Biao appreciates people who do practical things, and still let him be named in the Hanlin Academy, and then sent to Renzhi County in the north, since he wants to hone his training, he naturally can't put it in Jiangnan.
There is also Wu Bozong Li Jin, both of them stayed in the capital, Wu Bozong is quite interested in astronomy, Zhu Biao of course supports it, and Li Jin entered the household department to receive the official position from Qipin, and it is estimated that he will soon climb up with his cleverness.
There is also a large group of noble children, their starting point is high, higher than the Jinshi from the imperial examination, Zhu Yuanzhang specially met with them once, and then immediately added to the imperial court system.
There is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and the children of Xungui can be said to be the descendants of the Ming Dynasty, naturally not comparable to outsiders, from the sixth grade to the fourth grade, they have been placed in all aspects, fortunately, they have grown a lot through Fengyang's experience.
In fact, if there is a choice, Zhu Biao is absolutely unwilling to put them into the imperial court like this, but it is a pity that there is a shortage of cadres, and the jinshi have to go step by step, and they can't all be occupied by the world.
In the end, it can only be the lesser of two evils, but after this big change, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty will not make a big move, and a group of officials can be cultivated with peace of mind.
Except for the north, it is still necessary to focus on defense, but the troops in the rest of the places are about to start large-scale military cantonment, and now the fertile land in the territory has basically been taken, and the rest of Tibet and Yunnan are a pity to abandon them with some tastelessness.
Instead of wasting energy to attack, it is better to restore the people's livelihood as soon as possible, and it is not too late to make plans in the future, Zhu Yuanzhang has already sent a messenger to pacify, and the most important thing is peace.
Fortunately, the internal struggle in these two places is relatively fierce, and they don't want to be enemies of the Ming Dynasty at all, and the envoys are quite harmonious, and the Duan clan of Dali also sent a clan girl over, and Lao Zhu accepted it.
After the Ming Dynasty had contact with the Duan family, the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty who refused to defend Kunming also expressed his willingness to surrender, and also sent a lot of tribute, after the Sichuan-Guizhou region was pacified by the Ming Dynasty, he was very panicked, for fear that the Ming Dynasty would take advantage of the situation to go south to recover Yunnan.
Zhu Yuanzhang also sent envoys to appease, and from time to time provoked the relationship between King Liang and Duan, the harder these two dogs bit each other, the better, and Daming was happy to see it.
As for Tibet, which is also known as Tibet, the Ming Dynasty sent officials to Tibet with an edict in the second year of Hongwu, ordering the chiefs of all ethnic groups to raise their deceased officials and go to Beijing to confer their posts.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally wrote an edict saying, "The general will lead the division and settle in the sea." The subjects recommended Dai as the lord of the world, the country name Daming, and the Jianyuan Hongwu. The way of the former king, with Kang Lishu. However, Tubo, the state lives in the western soil, and now China is unified, and I am afraid that it has not yet been heard, so it is hereby edicted."
After that, Tubo was still waiting, only a small number of tribal chiefs came to Beijing to visit, but the Yuan Dynasty canonized Tubo Xuanwei Sidu Marshal Suo Nanpu still did not surrender, but blindly retreated to the plateau area.
Last year, the imperial court only sent tens of thousands of horses to recover Tao, Min and other prefectures, and entered the Tubo and other places of the Keyuan Dynasty to comfort the governor of the Marshal Sidu's mansion Hezhou, and I don't know if it was because the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Northern Yuan, they seemed very afraid.
However, now the situation seems to have changed, and I don't know what is happening inside, just a few days ago, Pamu Drukpadi, who controlled most of the Wusi Tibetan area, sent an envoy to the court, paying tribute to Buddha statues, Buddhist books, and relics, and asking the Ming Dynasty to canonize him as the empowerment of the national teacher.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally won't agree easily, the title of national teacher is not a fart for the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Ming Dynasty is not like the Yuan Dynasty that believes in Lamaism, but it can't be easily canonized, at least you have to figure out what happened in Tibet.
Within a few days, the hereditary feudal lord of Tibet, King Bu Nara, the seventh son of Kublai Khan, also sent an envoy to Beijing to ask for annexation, but hoped that he would still rule Tibet.
The unexpected joy came suddenly, the most powerful forces in Tibet suddenly asked to be annexed together, and the Ming Dynasty originally planned to wait for a few years to become financially rich in Tibet, but they did not expect that they would be in chaos first.
This is naturally a good thing, but it is not good to agree too easily, Zhu Yuanzhang then ordered the prince to deal with the matter, Zhu Biao naturally agreed, and he was bored to death by reviewing the chapter every day.
Of course, not only Zhu Biao is boring, but Lao Zhu is also the same, when he is just free, he is quite relaxed, and he finishes the meeting every day, but for a workaholic like him, it is simply shameful to spend his days like this, and it is better to feel at ease with a batch of concerts.
