Chapter 65 If you want to be safe in the south, you must first settle in Guangxi

Guo Deng said: "The minister will definitely be smeared with his heart and brain to repay His Majesty's kindness." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The matter of fighting Annan, I am in a hurry, I am not in a hurry if I am not in a hurry, there is one thing I want you to do." ”

Guo Deng said: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "I cleaned up the Guangxi toast, and the toast in the northwest of Guangxi is not taken care of for the time being, but the toast in the southwest of Guangxi and the border of Annam cannot be kept." ”

To be honest, Guangxi has been annoyed by Zhu Qizhen for so many years.

It's not the Great Tengxia Gorge, or it's the Tusi of various places.

It's either this mess, it's the opposite.

Zhu Qi calmed his pain and felt that the reason for all this was that the strength of the Ming Dynasty in Guangxi was too weak.

To tell the truth, Guangxi Tusi can really work for Daming with peace of mind, and Zhu Qizhen will turn a blind eye.

It's just that the system of toast is destined to have independent rights to have their own little abacus and careful thinking.

The information reported by the Jinyi Guard, and now the Cen family is not very peaceful, it seems that Mao Sheng used Guangxi toast too ruthlessly.

After all, whether it was the Battle of Zhennan Pass or the Battle of Langshan, it was a tragic offensive and defensive battle. Even the Jingying lost a considerable number of people, and Mao Sheng didn't even care about his own sons and nephews, how could he care about how many people died in Tusi?

The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth.

Mao Sheng was ruthless and never regarded the Tusi soldiers as people.

And the same casualties, the same tragic situation, but the treatment is never different, although the soldiers of the Beijing camp are casualties, but there are military doctors, there are caretakers, Mao Sheng is also very concerned about his old department, but the Tusi soldiers, never grandfather is not close, grandma does not love.

This obvious differential treatment, the Tusi departments will not complain.

Some people should have said it, you didn't say it before, you can only give enough benefits to the toast, they don't care how many toast soldiers under his command die.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But when too many people died, Tusi also had to find a way to appease his people, and they would never say that they had collected the money and sold these people.

It is natural to divert contradictions.

And although the Tusi soldiers are not valuable, if they die too much, they will also hurt the property of the toast.

In particular, the battle of Lang Son cannot be said to be a victory on the whole. Tusi everywhere don't want to fight anymore, and some people are even secretly in contact with Annan.

Then Mao Sheng fell ill and died, which made these people no longer suppressed.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen insisted on cleaning up these toasts first was actually a preparation for victory and defeat before he thought about it.

If the expedition to Annan is in trouble, the southwest of Guangxi is the closest Ming territory to Annam, and the burden here is very heavy, transporting materials, grain and grass, and collecting the wounded, and so on.

Putting these things in the hands of Tusi, how could Zhu Qizhen not worry.

Not to mention, Toast seems to have a lot of different thoughts now.

If we put it in the worst-case scenario, that is, the defeat of the southern army, or even the annihilation of the whole army, the southwest region of Guangxi will also bear the responsibility for the counterattack of the Annan army.

This is again the reason why Guangxi Toast cannot afford it.

There is another reason for Zhu Qizhen to pay attention, but it is Guo Deng's plan.

Guo Deng made up his mind to use most southern soldiers instead of northern soldiers.

Among the four provinces of Guangzhou, Yunnan and Guizhou, which province is the place where the elite soldiers and strong generals come out?

It's Guangxi.

From the Guangxi wolf soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Army of the Qing Dynasty, and the Gui Army of the Republic of China to resist Japan, the people of Guangxi are fierce, and it is a rare source of soldiers in the south.

It's not that Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangdong soldiers can't fight.

Generally speaking, Guangdong is relatively wealthy, and they are also like many southerners, who are not happy to be soldiers at all, and as for Guizhou, there are fewer Tusi than the government.

Where to go for conscription?

As for Yunnan, he also has his own strategic direction, and he cannot focus entirely on fighting Annam. So no matter how you calculate it, it is suitable for Guangxi.

Even if it is only to adapt to the climate, the southwest of Guangxi is only separated by a mountain from Annan, which is more suitable.

In this case, these toasts in the southwest of Guangxi are becoming more and more eye-catching, not to mention that although Guangxi is mountainous, there are also some plains centered on Taiping Mansion and Nanning Mansion.

Now, although Guangxi Tusi is full of complaints. But there is also the fact that they suffered heavy casualties in previous battles.

Vitality is badly damaged.

At this time, it is the most suitable to start.

Guo Deng was shocked in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, is it too anxious, this time to send troops, we have to borrow the power of the Southwest Tusi, and the minister is worried that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad." ”

The matter of changing the land and returning to the stream, can not be done easily, not because of the power of a single toast, but for fear of a chain reaction, if the toast of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou rebelled together, it can be said to be a major event that shakes the world.

However, Zhu Qizhen is also prepared.

Whatever you do, don't drive people into a corner, give a way. As for whether this way out is what they want, it doesn't matter.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I'll give you the quota of five counts." Hereditary recklessness. As long as they are willing to cooperate with the imperial court, the imperial court will not treat meritorious officials badly. ”

This idea was thought of by Zhu Qizhen from Gao Yangbo Li Wen.

To be honest, although there are Miao Zhuang people in later generations, but in detail, they are all chaotic, not to mention anything else, just say that Guangxi Tusi big family, Cen, Huang, Tian, and other surnames, they are no different from ordinary Han nobles.

Zhu Qizhen is willing to exchange the hereditary reckless title for all the territories they have owned for generations.

Of course, I don't know if I was a hereditary uncle in the Ming Dynasty or a soil emperor in Guangxi, and which choice was better.

As for other chain reactions?

Zhu Qizhen didn't care.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen actually has a trace of arrogance, but he himself doesn't feel it, and proud people never feel their pride.

It was as if he looked down on Li Tianbao's rebellion.

I only feel that the clown who jumps off the beam can be captured by a county order.

And in the years since he ascended the throne, only Luchuan Tusi has caused great trouble to the imperial court, and the Tusi in other places are actually easy to press even if they rebel.

It is indeed difficult to deal with the toasts if they can unite as one, but it is more difficult to unite the toasts than to succeed in rebellion.

Zhu Qizhen now has important things to do, and he has no intention of changing the land and returning to the stream. But if someone wants to find death, Zhu Qizhen will dare to do it.

Guo Deng saw that Zhu Qizhen had made up his mind, so he naturally didn't dare to refute.

Although he has some doubts in his heart, Zhu Qizhen's authority is flourishing day by day, and all the decisions made by Zhu Qizhen, except for a few upright ministers such as Li Xian, few people dare to refute it.

Guo Deng could only say: "Your Majesty, Shengming, far-sighted thousands of miles away. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen finished saying everything he should have said, and said: "In this way, you stay at home for a few more days, after the Chinese New Year, you will be the general of the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the south, control the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangdong. ”

It has always been a common practice for the families of generals abroad to be in Beijing.

Guo Deng was ordered to do this, once the battle started, unless he won the victory, it was impossible to come back. Guo Deng said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Qizhen sent someone to send Guo Deng away, stretched his waist, and got up and paced. While walking, I was thinking about the situation in the court, and my thinking was very jumpy, disaster relief, Qingzhang, Zongfan, Annam, Daming Huidian, Cabinet, Tile Thorn, etc., and believed in the horse. Think of a place and a place.

But seeing Wynne following behind him, there was a look of wanting to speak in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Wynne said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asks you to finish your business and go back to see her." ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately reprimanded: "Why don't you say it earlier." ”

The palace is too big, although Zhu Qizhen will go to ask the Empress Dowager Sun for peace after getting up every day, but it is only limited to asking for peace, Zhu Qizhen's timetable is very strict, and there is no time for a deep conversation between mother and son.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen is very busy, but there are also Zhu Qizhen who feel that he and the Queen Mother's thoughts are actually not together, and it would be good if the Queen Mother was asked to talk about some embarrassing topics, so that Zhu Qizhen didn't know what to do.

For example, the matter of the reinstatement of the Earl of Huichang is an embarrassing thing.
