Yun Xi then looked at Zhu Yang and asked, "Eighteenth uncle, is there anything you can't decide that you can't decide and want to discuss with us?" You've been in the domain for three years, who knows better than you about western Yunnan? β
Zhu Song and Shang Bing also said the same thing.
Zhu Yang said: "Where do you know what is going on. β
"The western part of Yunnan and Myanmar is different from the northeast and northwest."
"In the northwest region, after the Mongols conquered the Western Xia, the people of the Western Xia died eight or nine times, and the capital Xingqing was slaughtered by the Mongols because of where Temujin died, and there was no local power. When it comes to the land of the Western Regions, it is only good to marry the local Mongols, and there are not so many forces. β
"It's even more so in the Northeast. After driving the local Mongols away, only the Jurchen tribe that was scattered during the Γgedei period remained, and they were all barbarians, and they were easy to fool. β
"The land of western Yunnan and Burma is different, the local tribes are intricate, and they are all lofty mountains, and more importantly, they also received some education during the Dali period, which is even more difficult to get."
"I want the emperor to have an idea, whether to use the Duan family or not."
"The Duan family?" Yun Xi asked, "Is it the Duan family that established the Dali Kingdom?" β
Zhu Yang said: "It's the Duan family." And they not only have Dali, after Dali was destroyed by the Mongols, the Mongols selected people from the Duan family to be the governor of Dali, and assisted the Liang King Aluwen to defend Yunnan, until my Ming Dynasty invaded Yunnan. β
"The Duan clan of Dali has guarded Yunnan for more than 400 years, although I have worked hard to remove the influence of the Duan family, but how can it be so easy? Now although the heads of the Xuanwei Division know Da Ming, there are still many people in the clan below who only know the Duan clan and don't know Da Ming. β
"Although the country of Dali is small, after all, it is based in the southwest, and has had contacts with the surrounding tribes and Fanguo, and now it is only more than ten years since the end of the period of Duan's general administration, and those tribes and Fanguo still know the Duan family."
"If you want to open up the situation in western Yunnan and Burma as soon as possible, then appointing the Duan family is the best way."
Zhu Song said: "What else is there to say, just appoint the Duan family." β
Zhu Yang said: "Listen to me." β
"But the appointment of the Duan family is quite troublesome. Moreover, if they don't give the Duan family enough benefits, it is difficult to say how much effort they are willing to contribute. β
Yun Xi knew why Zhu Yang was so entangled. The Duan family is now not big but the roots are still deep, if they take advantage of this to turn over, when Zhu Yang dies, the successor will not be able to suppress the Duan family, I am afraid that they will become similar to the relationship between the Gao family and the Duan family in the middle of the Dali Kingdom. And by the time Zhu Yang died, Yun Xi was older than Zhu Yang, and it is estimated that Yun Xi had also passed away, what if the successor emperor was not interested in the affairs of the vassal state? Even if Da Ming is there, they will not dare to usurp the throne, but it is not comfortable to be a puppet.
Yun Xi stood up and walked a few times, had an idea, and was about to say, when he saw Shang Bing, he also seemed to have something to say, and said, "Shang Bing, what do you think?" Give advice to Uncle Eighteen. β
Shang Bing said: "Brother Huang, Eighteenth Uncle, in my opinion, I still have to use the Duan family." The land of western Yunnan and Burma has not been subject to the king for a long time, and the terrain is complex, unlike my northwest, and those who are not convinced can be subdued; In the southwest, the tribe goes to the mountains to get a cat, and it may not be found without the help of the local people, even if it is scattered with an army of 100,000. β
"Since you want to caress it, then listening to the words of the eighteenth uncle just now, it is the most suitable to use the Duan family. They must always be allowed to contribute to ensure the rule of the Min State in western Burma. β
However, there are many ways to do this. It is absolutely impossible to let the Duan family be the prime minister of the king, they can only stand high but not give too much real power, fortunately, there is still the court of the Ming Dynasty in the Min Kingdom, as long as the royal brother cooperates, they can ensure that they do not get power under the condition that the Duan family does not hide from the eighteenth uncle. β
"And the Duan family can't be monolithic, fight one faction and pull another, in short, you can't let the Duan family all be of one heart and one mind. Now that the Duan family is in a difficult situation, there are always people who are willing to take out everything they know in their hands and change to a better life. β
"There is also the power of Xiping Hou. The Marquis of Xiping has been guarding Yunnan for more than ten years, and the King of Qianning and the Duke of Qianguo (referring to Mu Chun) are also quite prestigious, and they can be used to use the enemy Duan. It's a pity that Qian Guogong has also passed away this year, Mu Sheng has fought less battles after all, otherwise it would be better. β
Mu Chun died of illness in August this year at the age of 36 on the way to conquer Ganmeng. Yun Xi learned the news in mid-September, and then ordered to posthumously seal Mu Chun as the Duke of Qianguo, nicknamed Huixiang, and after Mu Chun's body arrived in the capital in October, he imitated the etiquette of mourning for Mu Ying and Lan Yu that year, and personally mourned for Mu Chun, wearing mourning clothes for three days.
Subsequently, because Mu Chun had no children, Mu Sheng was crowned as the Marquis of Xiping, and Mu Sheng was ordered to rush to Yunnan to be sealed. Now Mu Chun's army is led by He Fu, and he doesn't know what happened, Yun Xi is very worried.
"In the end, it is to replace the Duan family with the Zhu family, increase the influence of the Min State, and slowly the Duan family will not be of much use, even if they do not abandon the Duan family for the sake of fame, they can also reduce their rights. With the central court standing behind, the Duan family is not like the Gao family, and they dare to make any big moves. β
"Brother Huang, Uncle Eighteen, Uncle Twentie, that's how I think it."
After listening to Shang Bing's opinion, Yun Xi praised: "Brother Qin is really good, Brother Huang, my opinion is like this, and I can't think of anything else in this eagerness." β
He said to Zhu Yang again: "Just rely on Shang Bing's opinion to deal with it, but in a hurry, most of them have some flaws, pay attention to correcting them." β
Zhu Yang said: "Yes, Your Majesty." β
"Also," Yun Xi told Zhu Yang again: "I heard that you have a bad relationship with Mu Sheng, which is unacceptable." You are in charge of the land of western Yunnan and Burma, and the Mu family is in charge of the rest of the army in Yunnan, so you have to reconcile. β
However, although he said so, if Zhu Yang really wore a pair of pants with Mu Sheng, Yun Xi should not be at ease. Yun Xi didn't have the idea of giving the whole of Yunnan to Zhu Yan.
However, Zhu Yang may not have been a real monarch yet, so he couldn't guess Yun Xi's deep-seated worries, and said: "I know, I must get along well with the Mu family." β
The matter was decided, Yun Xi discussed with them for a while, and said, "Since you have come to the palace, follow me around the palace." Especially you, Shang Bing, your brothers are all studying in the Royal Academy, I heard that you didn't go to see them? This is not good, they will be your help in the future, so you still have to pay more attention. β
After listening to Yun Xi's words, a few people who were about to retire also followed Yun Xi and came to the Royal Academy to have a look.
When Yunxi and the others came to the Royal Academy, they were taking a military strategy class, which was taught by Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, but the actual content was not much different from the art of war class, but it was just that the different opinions of different teachers were added.
Yun Xi and the three of them watched from the side glass window. Yun Xi pointed to Zhu Shanglie, who was sitting quite in front of him, and said, "Shanglie, I have been here a few times, and he is the most serious about all martial arts classes or military strategy courses. Then he said to Shang Bing: "This can be your arm for fighting with soldiers." I remember that you weren't very good at military strategy, and you weren't good at martial arts. β
Shang Bing said: "It's true that martial arts are not good, I really don't have that talent." β
Yun Xi interjected: "What is not talented, it is lazy." β
Shang Bing smiled: "Yes, yes, I can't get up in the morning, I'm lazy." But I'm not convinced of the military strategy, I'm a person who has fought a war, and I have fought with a commander the year before last and last year, and I have also won a lot. β
They smiled and said a few words, Zhu Yang pointed to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old person who didn't know what to do and said, "I remember that he is Shang Yu, a very good person, why don't you listen to class!" If I had been like this when I was in school, and my husband had told my father, I would have had to be spanked. β
Yun Xi said: "Shang Yu is not interested in war, but Li Zheng has his own unique opinions, which is very powerful. In the future, he can be used to govern the place. β
Then he said to Zhu Ying: "As for spanking, this method is good." Shang Bing, as the eldest brother, you will punish Shang Yu. β
Zhu Song said: "This glass is really a good thing, it is really clear from the outside, and you don't have to light it during the day when you use the glass." β
Then he said to Yunxi: "Well, tell us how to make glass, and we will not tell us." β
How could Yun Xi announce it, this is the only craftsman project in his hands that is currently profitable. Although he is the emperor, if he wants to support other scientific research, he has to ask for money from the household department, and although the income of the imperial village is rich, it cannot be spent all. So he will definitely not give up this cash cow. Nowadays, the craftsmen who know how to make glass are closely guarded for fear of being pried away.
So Yun Xi snorted, they knew that Yun Xi would not let go, so they pretended to be a joke and passed.
After a while, the class ended, and all the princes came out one after another, and then saluted Yun Xi. They were in class inside, and they had already seen Yunxi outside the window.
Yun Xi said, "Shang Yu, come out." β
Then the young man who didn't know what to do just now came out, with a bitter face.
Yun Xi said: "Shang Yu, this is a compulsory course I have chosen, you don't listen well today, I should have punished you." But if your eldest brother is here today, it will be up to your eldest brother to punish you when he returns in the evening. β
Shang Yu's face became even more bitter. If Yun Xi is punished, it is actually fine, Yun Xi does not advocate the use of corporal punishment, especially for his brothers, so they will be unhappy that they need to retake this course in the coming year, but it is actually fine.
But Shang Bing is different, ruthless, Shang Yu is most afraid of Shang Bing.
