Chapter Eighty-Three: Worries in the Southwest

Zhu Qizhen's heart moved when he heard this, and he never expected such a crisis to come out of Meng Ying's mouth.

In fact, to a certain extent, Zhu Qizhen has developed the habit of listening to bad news, why, good news may not be fake. But there are really not many of them, but there is not much bad news, and even if there is something to hide, it is the severity of concealing reality.

Even if Zhu Qizhen put a lot of effort into Jinyi Weidong Factory, he had to admit that he wanted to use Jinyi Wei to kill one, or kill a group of people, and even understand some fixed-point information, it was still okay. But I want to investigate the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty clearly through the Jinyi Guard.

That's impossible.

Therefore, his biggest and most important news channel is to take some mixed truths and falsehoods, mixed with the twists and turns of various officials' private goods.

This is also a law he summed up, that is, bad news must be more important than good news, and it is still a good thing to let go of good things, but let go of bad things, but I don't know what will become of them.

Even in general, the things that the minister said were much lighter than the facts, and of course there were those who were alarmist and did not speak shockingly.

This requires Zhu Qizhen to distinguish carefully, but in Zhu Qizhen's heart, Meng Ying should not be such a person. Those who speak loudly are all imperial historians, and Meng Ying has no need to say so.

Then the credibility of what Meng Ying said rose in Zhu Qizhen's heart.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Play it carefully." ”

Meng Ying said: "In Yunnan's view, there are three major troubles in the southwest, and the first one is toast. ”

"The Mu family in Yunnan is like a dog and a horse to the Tusi, and the various departments of the Tusi have a centrifugal attitude towards the imperial court, and in this battle, the Guizhou Tusi transported grain and grass, and the labor was extremely hard."

"The minister saw a lot, the people of Guizhou Tusi, tired and dying on the road."

"It's just that it may not be in the imperial court, but the local toast has to be attributed to the imperial court. If the war lasted for three or four years, the minister thought that Guizhou Tusi would be opposed. ”

"Now it seems that Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi Tusi are also unstable."

Zhu Qizhen listened to it and automatically blocked Meng Ying's words about the Mu family. Speaking of which, it seems that this Baoding Marquis is very good to Tusi. Zhu Qizhen has Meng Ying's badges on the Tusi in his hand, and there are several, which shows that this Baoding Marquis, when he fights, even the Mu family doesn't care, and how does he care about the local Tusi.

Moreover, the festival between the Mu family and Meng Ying can't be said to be endless, anyway, Zhu Qizhen will not let Mu Ang cooperate with Meng Ying in this life.

However, Meng Ying's general direction is still right.

The chaos in Guangxi finally calmed down, Liu Pu conquered Dateng Gorge again, although Liu Pu reported success, but the intelligence of Jinyiwei, in fact, Liu Pu did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen is also unwilling to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress, not to mention the cost of a lot, and it will not be of any benefit. It's just like I don't know.

As for Guizhou Toast, Zhu Qizhen also received a few letters of Guizhou Toast, but he said that he was overwhelmed.

Zhu Qizhen also knows the virtue of the Tusi, if the Ming Dynasty is a feudal dynasty, most of the Tusi are slaves, and they are also escorting grain and grass, and there is nothing to do in the Ming Dynasty, but Guizhou is in trouble, not that many Tusi do not treat the people below as people.

But the problem is that Zhu Qizhen feels that the problem is with them, and they will never think about it, they will only push the matter to the imperial court, and then they can't stand it anymore, and they may make a fuss.

"Toast is a scourge sooner or later." Zhu Qizhen thought in his heart, and said, "Go on." ”

Meng Ying said: "The second major problem is Myanmar. ”

"When Luchuan was here, Burma was affected by Luchuan and could not go north, but now Luchuan is destroyed by me, although the land of Luchuan was given to King Xiang, but what King Xiang occupied, but Luchuan is only a few counties in Luchuan, as for the south of Luchuan, most of them defected to Myanmar with other forces of Sijia."

"When the minister was in Yunnan, Burma came to the envoy, and wanted to ask the minister to divide the south of Luchuan into Myanmar, but the minister refused, and the Burmese envoy will also go to Beijing this year."

"If Your Majesty grants his request, there will be no war between Burma and the imperial court for about thirty or fifty years, but the problem lies with His Royal Highness King Xiang."

Zhu Qizhen said: "What's wrong with King Xiang? ”

Meng Ying said: "Corporal Xiangwang Lixian, very popular with the people of Luchuan, but Si Renli has a son in Myanmar and is trying to recover, King Xiang is An Luchuan, and asks Myanmar to hand over Si Renli's son. Rejected by Myanmar. ”

"And most of the land swallowed by Burma was given to King Xiang by His Majesty, and King Xiang is a little arrogant, and when King Xiang recuperates for a few years, I am afraid that if Burma does not go north, King Xiang will also go south."

Zhu Qizhen had a good impression of King Xiang in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "I really deserve to be the virtuous king of the clan." Zhu Qizhen's position is now stable, and his fear of King Xiang is not so deep, and he said with a smile: "My uncle is still very ambitious. It's just that in the opinion of the Marquis of Baoding, my uncle fought with Burma, how did he win or lose? ”

The Marquis of Baoding said: "Although Fang Ying is a general under King Xiang, the minister thinks that he is not optimistic about King Xiang. And once King Xiang wins, it will not be of any benefit to the imperial court, but once King Xiang is defeated, there is a case, and the court will be passive because of this, is it possible that Your Majesty will go on an expedition to Burma because of King Xiang? ”

"The minister attacked Luchuan, it was a trick, there was no strong attack, but once Luchuan was hit, it was different, it had to trek through mountains and rivers, it was necessary to have an army of 300,000, tens of thousands of people fought with Burma, and the rest of the people maintained the grain route, and even 300,000 people may not be enough."

"Therefore, please think twice about Your Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen didn't think about this thing.

But I have to admit that what the Marquis of Baoding said is not bad, although he doesn't want to care about the death of King Xiang, to say a polite word, Zhu Qizhen has only met with King Xiang a few times, it is ridiculous to say that he has feelings, and even many times, Zhu Qizhen regards King Xiang as a political opponent.

He lives or dies, and Zhu Qizhen doesn't care.

But in the Ming Dynasty, the idea of occupying the initiative is still Confucianism, and it is the monarch and the minister, the father and the son.

In terms of monarchs and ministers, King Xiang, as a pro-vassal vassal, has such a major event, and the court does not do anything, which will make the world criticize, in terms of father and son, King Xiang is the brother of the first emperor and the uncle of Zhu Qizhen. Either way, he couldn't help but ask.

And that's just the usual time.

The contradiction between Daming and Waspur, in Zhu Qizhen's view, is a little bit of accumulation, both sides are preparing, Zhu Qizhen is preparing, cultivating generals close to him, and rectifying Hebei water conservancy.

He is also preparing to marry Uliangha, marry his sister to Tokh Buhua, and even use signs of soldiers in the West.

Zhu Qizhen estimated in his heart that he was afraid to be ready before him. Moreover, Zhang Fu made a strategic decision to fight a decisive battle on the front line of the Great Wall. It is also destined that Daming is strategically passive.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen did not want to use troops in the south, whether active or passive.

Zhu Qizhen silently thought about this matter in his heart, and continued: "Go on. ”

The Marquis of Baoding said: "The minister thinks that the biggest problem in the southwest is not Tusi or Burma, but the guard. ”

Zhu Qizhen was a little puzzled and said, "What's wrong with the guard?" ”

Baoding Hou Mengying said: "The guards fled, the generals were mediocre, unbearable, some things were beyond the expectations of the minister, the minister told the truth, Mu Ang's army defeated Luchuan, the minister was expected, but with the minister's estimate of the Ming soldiers, even if the army was defeated, it was only a few thousand soldiers, and it could be slowly retreated." Although the minister expected Jingdong to be the place of the decisive battle, but it was only one of them, the minister thought at the time, as long as Luchuan refused to give up Mu Ang, the minister could fight with it, but he never thought that it was so miserable, and the minister visited carefully afterwards, only to know that there are many guards in Yunnan, and most of the local guards are moved from outside, and the soldiers miss their hometown. The flight is gone. The guards are like dogs and horses, and many of them are worse than the Tusi people. ”

"The southwest land, not as inland as the mainland, Taizu set up a guard station, thinking that it was a barrier, plus there are many Tusi, the survival of the imperial court is all in the guard, where the guard is, then the Tusi does not dare to move, but the guard has become like this, the minister feels that if it is not rectified, the southwest will be in chaos, and the minister is afraid that in the next few decades, the southwest will be in chaos for a while."
