Chapter 242 [Taizu's Journey]
These 24 Ming princes were all sealed by Ming Taizu in various places to guard the country, and it was also stipulated that "the vassal king shall not enter Beijing without an edict!" They are not allowed to see each other or do business, but are supported by the imperial court, including those of princes and princes; Shizi, Dixia, Zhenguo General, Auxiliary General, Fengguo General, Zhenguo Lieutenant, Auxiliary Lieutenant, Fengguo Lieutenant, and County Lord, County Lord, County Lord, County Monarch, County Monarch, Township Monarch.
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, in the first month of 1382 A.D., Ming Taizu ordered the Ming Zhengnan general: Fu Youde, the Ming left deputy general: Lan Yu, the right deputy general of the Ming Dynasty: Mu Ying, led 300,000 foot cavalry to conquer Yunnan Province, this place is the prince of Liang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: the Ming army is approaching Jingchenzhou Road, Yuanzhou Road Ben Baban Shunyuan and other places to Xuanfu Sidu Marshal Mansion, Banzhou Xuanwei Division, Sizhou Xuanwei Division, Xintian Geman Pacification Division, Wusa Wumeng Xuanwei Division, Yixi Buxue Xuanwei Division, Puding Road, Pu'an Road and other places, After approaching Qujing Road in Yunnan Province.
When Prince Liang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty learned that the Ming army was pressing the border, he immediately sent Situ of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the governor of Pingzhang in Yunnan: Da Lima, and led 100,000 elite soldiers to garrison Qujing Road to resist the southward movement of the Ming army.
In order to tempt the Northern Yuan army to successfully defeat them, General Ming Zhengnan led his troops to take advantage of the fog to approach the Baishi River, so he adopted the tactic of attacking the east and attacking the west along the river, making it appear that he was going to forcibly cross the river, so that the enemy general had to concentrate all the elite to guard the other side of the Baishi River and prepare for battle.
The general of the Ming Zhengnan secretly sent dozens of people to secretly cross the river from the lower reaches of the Baishi River, and entered the rear of the Northern Yuan army.
At this time, the general of the Ming Zhengnan took the opportunity to wave his army across the river, and took the brave and good swimming soldiers as the vanguard, broke through the front army of Situ of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and let the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty lead the iron cavalry to smash the enemy's military tent, resulting in the defeat of the Northern Yuan army, capturing Situ alive and pacifying Qujing Road.
Then the Ming Zhengnan general sent the Ming left deputy general, the Ming right deputy general led the army into Zhongqing Road, the Northern Yuan Liang Prince learned that the Northern Yuan Situ was defeated and captured, even if he abandoned the city and fled with his wife to the Dianchi Lake and died, the Northern Yuan Yunnan right Cheng: Guanyin Bao, only had to surrender to the Ming army, the Ming Zhengnan general only took more than 100 days to pacify the eight Shunyuan and other places to comfort the Marshal Sidu, Yunnan Province.
After that, Ming Taizu let his adopted son Mu Ying guard this place and renamed it "Yunnan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division" and set up "Yunnan Metropolitan Command Envoy Division", and also changed the Eight Pan Shunyuan and other places to proclaim the Marshal Mansion of the Sidu (Guizhou Metropolitan Command Envoy), and placed Yunnan Left Guard, Yunnan Right Guard, Yunnan Zhongwei, Yunnan Avant-garde, Yunnan Guard, Jianchang Guard, Lin'an Guard, a total of 7 guards, and Qujing Shouyu Thousand Households, Huichuan Shouyu Thousand Households.
Among them, the Huichuan Shouyu Thousand Households Office was subordinate to Jianchangwei, and the Qujing Shouyu Thousand Households Office was directly subordinate to the Yunnan Metropolitan Command Mission, and at the same time, there were Dongchuan Guard, Wusawei, Wumeng Guard, Mangbe Guard, and Pu'an Wei, which were originally subordinate to the Yunnan Metropolitan Command Mission.
In February, Qujing Shouyu Qianhu was changed to Qujing military and civilian command and placed in Chuxiongwei, and in March (Dali Wei) was changed to Qujing military and civilian command and envoy to guard.
In October, Jianchang Wei and Huichuan Shouyu Thousand Households were reassigned to the Sichuan Capital Division, and there were also any; Zhan Yi Shou Yu Thousand Households, Panjiang Shou Yu Thousand Households, directly subordinate to the Sichuan Xingdu Division, of which Zhan Yi Shou Yu Thousand Households was changed to Zhan Yiwei.
In addition to the official prefecture, there are also Nandian Propaganda Division, Ganya Propaganda Division, Luchuan Ping-Burma Propaganda Division, Mubang Propaganda Division, Mengyang Propaganda Division, Myanmar Propaganda Division, 800 Dadian Propaganda Division, Cheli Propaganda Division, and Laos Propaganda Division.
Subsequently, the imperial court changed the original "Gongwei Division" and later renamed it the "Pro-Army Governor's Mansion" (Yiluan Division) to be in charge of the honor guards and guards of His Majesty the Emperor, but Ming Taizu abolished the Pro-Army Governor's Mansion and the Yiluan Division in order to strengthen the maintenance of imperial power, and changed the "Jinyi Guard" to be subordinate to the "North and South Zhenfu Division".
As a military institution of the emperor's palace guards, the main function of the Jinyi Guard is to engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities such as "driving the guards directly, patrolling and arresting", and also participate in the work of collecting military intelligence and plotting against enemy generals.
Among them, the "Nanzhen Fusi" is responsible for the legal and military discipline of the Benwei, and the "Beizhen Fusi" is responsible for the cases approved by the emperor, and has its own prison (edict) that can arrest, torture, and execute on its own without going through the judicial body.
Beizhen Fusi has many external tasks and often travels all over the country, so the outgoing spies of Beizhen Fusi are all "Qincha" The most famous Jinyi Wei in the Ming Dynasty is (Beizhen Fusi Thirteen Taibao).
There are five guards under the North and South Zhenfu Division, and their commanders are called Thousand Households, Hundred Households, General Banner, and Small Banner, and ordinary sergeants are called Captains and Luxes. When the lieutenants and wrestlers were on the mission of arresting thieves and traitors, they were called "Ti Cai", and their leader was called (Jinyi Wei Commander), a close confidant of the emperor, and they could directly obey the orders of His Majesty the Son of Heaven to arrest anyone, including the emperor's relatives and relatives, and conduct closed interrogations and executions.
In the sixteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, in 1383 A.D., the king of Nanshan in the Ryukyus: Cheng Chadu, sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Ming Empire, and was recognized by Ming Taizu until the eighteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, in 1385 A.D., the envoy of Ming Taizu arrived in Nanshan Kingdom of Ryukyu and personally gave Cheng Chadu as the "King of Nanshan County of the Ming Dynasty" and obtained a gold-plated silver seal and became a vassal state of the Ming Empire.
In the twentieth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, in 1387 A.D., Wang Taiwei of Kaiyuan County of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: Zha Shuer Naha, Tun Heavy Soldiers sat in the Liaodong Road area of Kaiyuan Road and continued to intrude on the surrounding areas, resulting in attacks on the Jurchen tribes on Liaodong Road, so that Ming Taizu ordered Ming Song Guogong: Feng Sheng, for the capture of the general, Ming Yingchuan Marquis: Fu Youde, for the left deputy general, Ming general: Lan Yu, as the right deputy general, a total of 200,000 troops led the northern expedition in the "Battle of Jinshan" and achieved success, surrendered to the Northern Yuan Kaiyuan County Wang Taiwei escorted Tianfu to be given by Ming Taizu; Haixihou (after the decline of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, there were many secession areas, and Nahachu was just one of them. )
However, his surrender represents the surrender of the Ming Dynasty to one of the most powerful Northern Yuan separatist regimes, and removes the threat of the Northern Yuan to the Ming Empire in the early stage.
Next, Ming Taizu asked the Ming general: Lan Yu, as the main general, to conquer the next main target, which was the Northern Yuan Yizong Usahar Khan Tianyuanning Emperor: Emperor Timur, who swept away Mobei in one move, so Ming Taizu asked the Ming general not to lose the opportunity to succeed.
Sure enough, on April 12, 1388, the 21st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Ming Liang: Lan Yu, led 150,000 Ming troops and the Northern Expedition of Yizi to Gyeongju Road, Lingbei Province, according to the Malay report, it was learned that the tooth tent of Yizong of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was set up in the fishing sea, so he took a shortcut and advanced, and the Duke of Ming Liang ordered the Yuan Marquis: Wang Bi, for the vanguard, quickly attacked and went straight to the camp of the Chinese army in the Northern Yuan Tooth Tent to fight with the 100,000 Northern Yuan army, and directly surrounded the Tooth Tent.
After the arrival of the Ming army at the headquarters of the Ming Liang Kingdom, he was captured in one fell swoop, the second son of Yizong of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: the second son of Yizong of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the concubines, the princess, the county lord and other 123 people, 3,000 officials, more than 77,000 troops of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, 150,000 horses, camels, cattle and sheep, and a large number of seals, books, weapons, and vehicles, except for the Northern Yuan Yizong and the crown prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: the Privy Council of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: the Privy Council of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: the Privy Council of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: the Zuo Prime Minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty: The Martyrs Gate, Dozens of horsemen fled, the Ming army defeated the Northern Yuan and began to split and perish.
At the same time, he accepted the title of the Ming Empire and let the whole country change to wear the "Ming clothes": Wang Yu, because the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in the area of Tieling Luli (Wei) in the area that originally belonged to the Mengyuan Empire (Shuangcheng Governor's Office) had a conflict with the Ming Dynasty, and at the instigation of Cui Ying, the inspector of the six provinces of Goryeo and the king of the Tieyuan Prefecture, he sent the commander of the left army of Goryeo: Cao Minxiu, and the commander of the right army of Goryeo: Li Chenggui, and the two sent troops to attack Liaodong to command the envoy.
On May 13, after the commander of the right army of Goryeo crossed the Yalu River, he found that the march was difficult and the food was insufficient, so he wrote a letter asking the class to return to the court, but the king of Goryeo did not listen!
Therefore, the commander of the right army of Goryeo persuaded the commander of the left army of Goryeo, decisively withdrew his troops on Weihua Island and returned to Kaegyung, and forced the palace to exile the inspector of the six provinces of Goryeo by force, and the two of them seized the power of Goryeo from then on.
In June, the commander of the right army of Goryeo forced the king of Goryeo to abdicate, and the king of the above retreated to Ganghwa Island, but the commander of the left army of Goryeo was in the service of Goryeo: Li Sui, with the support of the eldest son of the king of Goryeo, Wang Chang, ascended the throne, and was given the title of the meritorious hero of the Zhongqin and Liangjie Xuanwei Tongdean Society with the commander of the right army of Goryeo as the commander of the northeast of Goryeo and Gangneung.
In November, he was moved to Huangli Mansion to the king of Goryeo: Wang Yu, unwilling to be placed under house arrest, he intended to restore and sent someone to assassinate the commander of the provincial capital of Gangneung in Goryeo: Li Chenggui, how could he be defeated, and it happened that the king of Goryeo Changjun: Wang Chang, when he sent the tribute to the Ming Empire, was used by Ming Taizu to Wang Changfei Goryeo Gongsu County King Jiangling Maharaja: Wang Yuan, and then did not allow him to enter the dynasty as an excuse, and immediately abolished the king of Goryeo Changjun as a concubine, and set up the Goryeo clan Dingchang Mansion Monarch: Wang Yao, who ascended the throne as the king of Goryeo Gongrang.
He also claimed that Wang Yu was not a descendant of the king of Gonghan County of Goryeo, but that the father and son were (descendants of the Xin family) and that Xin Yu was exiled to Gangneung County, and Xin Chang was exiled to Ganghwa Island, after which both were killed.
However, Goryeo Gongrang the king of the county: Wang Yao is just a puppet in the hands of the commander of the Gangneung Provincial Governor of Goryeo! Because almost all the real power of the Goryeo Kingdom in the real sense is in the hands of the Goryeo Gangneung Provincial Commander, he was also awarded the title of "Founding Loyal and Righteous Uncle" 1,000 households, 300 households, 200 acres of land, 20 slaves and maids, parents and wives knights, and children and grandchildren.
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty in 1391 AD, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Biao, was ordered to inspect the Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Division, on the one hand, Ming Taizu wanted him to see if Xi'an Mansion was suitable as the capital? Because at that time, Ming Taizu took Yingtianfu as Nanjing, Kaifeng Mansion as Beijing, and Fengyang Mansion as the central capital to stay behind.
On the other hand, the prince of Ming Qin at that time and the imperial court (Zongren Mansion Zongren Order): Zhu Fan was recalled to Beijing by Ming Taizu with many mistakes, so that the crown prince of Ming could take the opportunity to investigate the words and deeds of Prince Ming Qin.
However, after the crown prince of Ming returned from his inspection, he presented the map of Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Division, and said some good things for the second emperor's younger brother, Prince Ming Qin, which allowed Ming Taizu to let Prince Ming Qin return to Xi'an.
But unexpectedly, after the Ming crown prince himself returned to Gyeonggi, he began to become ill from exhaustion, and finally died in April of the following year!
Ming Taizu was very distressed and ordered the whole country to mourn, but after calming down, he decided to skip his sons and directly set up the Ming Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yunwen, in order to strengthen the imperial rule and crack down on the civil and military ministers who opposed the emperor's grandson, Ming Taizu began to let the north and south town Fu Si Jinyiwei collect evidence, and finally convicted the arrogant Ming Liang Guogong: Lan Yu for the crime of rebellion, and killed 15,000 people from the crown prince's military general group, plus the people in Hu Weiyong's case, a total of more than 30,000 people! Countless people have been involved in extermination.
