On the second day, Yun Xi took his two concubines to meet Zhu Zanyi and his wife.

Zhu Zanyi was taken aback when she saw Xiyi and Li Sha'er appearing at the same time, but she immediately restrained her expression and bowed; Yun Xi agreed, and Xi Yi and Li Sha'er returned the salute.

Then handed over to the princess Chen Liping and bowed twice, and served tea to Yunxi, Xiyi, and Li Sha'er. To be honest, when she took her tea, Yun Xi was quite unaccustomed to it. Even according to the traditional Chinese way of calculation, he is far from the age when he should be served tea by his new daughter-in-law. In a trance, he thought that he was already in his thirties, and he was stunned before he realized that he was only twenty-six years old, not yet twenty-eight years old, even according to the standards of this era, he was still a young man.

Yun Xi, who reacted, gave Chen Liping dates and chestnuts in accordance with the regulations, Xiyi and Li Sha'er each gave bracelets and jade pendants, Chen Liping bowed two more times, and withdrew after the salute; Li Sha'er looked at Yun Xi and also pulled Xi Yi out.

Zhu Zanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Uncle, my nephew is really not used to this. ”

"I'm getting used to it." Yun Xi smiled and said: "Even if your uncle doesn't let you marry her, you also have to marry a concubine, and the main room is empty." ”

"Not really." Zhu Zanyi said: "Uncle, Chen Liping is from Annan, and I am very worried that she will help the locals." ”

"In the future, there will be no Annan people who will be disturbed by the Nannan people," Yun Xi said: "No matter who you are, they are your people, and you are not allowed to say anything about the Annan people in your mouth, and it is strictly forbidden for the hundred officials to say it." ”

"My nephew knows." Zhu Zanyi smiled: "My nephew understands. ”

"Just before I came to see my uncle, my nephew just saw an excerpt from Yi'an City, there is a person named Chen Yi, who claims to be a descendant of the Chen Dynasty, and rebelled against his nephew."

This person has also proclaimed himself emperor, with a simple year name, and led thousands of soldiers to attack the county seat. The nephew had already ordered He Rong to lead troops to quell the rebellion. ”

Zhu Zanyi didn't take this seriously in her heart, and told Yunxi casually.

Unexpectedly, Yun Xi attached great importance to this, and immediately asked, "Where did this person rebel?" What's the name? What about the weapons? ”

"Uncle, a small rebellion, where is it worth being so serious as an uncle?" Zhu Zanyi said.

"You don't know that." Yun Xi said.

"Why does my nephew know such a trivial matter of sesame mung beans in such detail? Didn't my uncle teach my nephew not to let go of his power and appoint ministers? The nephew is following his uncle's teachings. Zhu Zanyi said.

"It's not a trivial matter to have the descendants of the Chen Dynasty rebel!" Yun Xi said very seriously: "Zanyi, you must not care about such a thing!" ”

"The Chen Dynasty has been the king in this place for nearly 200 years, and has twice repelled the Mongol army, which has the name of orthodoxy, and there are not many gentry who are willing to destroy their families and help the Chen Dynasty, but there are many hearts towards them, and they will never cooperate with the army to suppress."

After all, the time when the army came to Annam was short, if this man named Chen Wei saw that the war was not conducive to retreating to the mountains and forests, it would be difficult to annihilate it without the cooperation of the locals. After a long time, the troops could only be withdrawn. ”

"But as soon as the army withdraws, he can go out of the mountains to attack and harass, and so on and so forth, and my uncle doesn't talk about the fatigue of the soldiers, even from the point of view of money, which is also a big expense."

"Over time, in order to maintain this expenditure, taxes can only be raised, which makes the local gentry and common people more dissatisfied with the government and more willing to assist the rebels, so the government is in danger."

"Uncle, it's not that dangerous, is it?" Zhu Zanyi said in disbelief.

"Uncle is talking about the most critical situation. But even if that doesn't happen, it's hard to put down the rebellion quickly. Yun Xi said.

Zhu Zanyi thought carefully about the situation described by Yun Xi, felt that it made sense, and asked, "Does uncle have a plan to teach his nephew?" ”

"First, they were cut off from their food, grass and herbs." Yun Xi said confidently: "In the places where the rebels are harassed, appease the gentry so that they do not join the rebels." At the same time, the subordinates of the local gentry were bribed, and if they found that there were secret rebels, they would be exterminated immediately, so as to set an example. ”

"Second, they cut off their soldiers. In a densely forested area, there will be many villages with few people and little land, and it is easy for the rebels to force a force in such villages. Such villages are to be relocated out of the mountains and forests and to nearby flat land. ”

"Thirdly, and most importantly, it is to cut off their salt. There are many mountains and forests here, and the weather is not cold all year round, even if you run out of grain and grass to pick fruits, you can live, and you can pick your own herbs. ”

"But salt doesn't grow in the mountains. After driving them into the forest, it is strictly forbidden to enter the forest, and they will either collapse without a fight or go down the mountain to die. In this way, the rebels can be easily crushed. ”

If there is another modern person here, it is estimated that he will be called Gangcun Yunxi or Zhu Ningci. Although the method he proposed was simple, it captured the essence of the world's efforts to deal with the guerrillas in later generations, and should be effective in the face of rebels without faith bonuses.

"Uncle is such a good idea." Zhu Zanyi thought about it for a while and knew that this must be useful, and praised it sincerely.

"But uncle, even if he is stationed with soldiers transferred from the Central Plains, he may not be willing to take bribes from the locals to let some salt flow into the mountains and forests; It is not easy to move all the small villages out of the mountains and forests. Therefore, if the situation that my uncle said really happened, I am afraid that it would be difficult to completely exterminate the rebels. ”

"Uncle knows, too. So," Yun Xi said, "Uncle will hand over a few more troops to you to exterminate the rebels in the mountains and forests." ”

"Where's the soldier?"

"The barbarian soldiers in the southwest, as well as the mountain soldiers from Taiwan who captured Hu Jichen. They also grew up in the mountains and forests, and were more familiar with fighting in the forests than the armies. Uncle issued an order to the capitals of Yunnan and Guangxi, with a limit of two years, to send barbarian soldiers to Annan in turn to assist you in quelling the rebellion. ”

"By the time you have been in Annam for a long time, the locals will gradually forget about the Chen Dynasty, and the rebels will become a tree without a fate and will be exterminated."

"Uncle is really insightful." Zhu Zanyi took out a piece of paper and used a pencil to write down everything Yunxi said just now, and praised it.

That's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. Yun Xi complained in his heart.

After complaining, Yun Xi explained several key points to Zhu Zanyi, and Zhu Zanyi wrote them down one by one.

After saying this, Yun Xi wants to teach him about politics again. After all, he is leaving tomorrow, and he can teach a little bit before leaving.

But he didn't want to sit here anymore. "Uncle has been sitting for so long, his butt hurts. Let's go to the garden and teach you while I go around. You don't have to memorize it, just like learning Tai Chi, forget all about it after learning it, and integrate it into your own way of government. Yun Xi said.

Zhu Zanyi was very suspicious that Tai Chi did not have such a secret, but she didn't dare to refute it, so she could only say "uh-huh" a few times, and also stood up and followed him towards the garden.

But as soon as they walked out of the house, they saw Wang Xi, who was guarding the door, come over and say to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, Uncle Xu was poisoned just now and has been sent to the military medical center for treatment; The person who poisoned him had already discovered that he was a Chinese-Vietnamese mixed-race handyman in Uncle Xu's mansion, who was poisoned because his mother was killed and hated Daming. This person has been arrested, and Li Yuma plans to be beheaded. ”

"Hang your head at the city gate after being beheaded! Anyone who wants to have his head removed is also beheaded. Yun Xi said this, and said: "Jingchang must be too careless, tell all the generals about this, you must be cautious." ”

"Uncle, don't you dispose of this person's family?" Zhu Zanyi asked.

"Check if his father has other sons. If so, let his family go; If not, kill it. Yun Xi said.

After Wang Xi agreed, Yun Xi looked sideways at Zhu Zanyi, Zhu Zanyi immediately understood what he meant, and said: "My nephew accompanied my uncle to the military medical center to inspect it, and by the way, I took a look at Jingchang." ”

……

……

"Gross, gagged." In a tent in the military medical center, I saw a man in his early twenties lying on the side of the bed, vomiting incessantly, and only stopped after a while.

Zhu Xiancai held back his nausea, picked up a pot of tea and walked over and said, "Lord Xu, please drink this pot of tea." ”

"I can't drink so much tea." Xu Jingchang said very weakly.

"My lord, this pot of water is not for adults to drink, but for adults to drink and then spit it out to cleanse their stomachs." Zhu Xiancai said.

"Still throwing up?" Xu Jingchang's face turned green, and he asked with difficulty.

"My lord, you are not lightly poisoned, you can't just spit out what you eat, you have to clean your stomach. If you don't, you'll probably have to stay in a hospital bed for months and take your medication slowly. Zhu Xiancai persuaded.

Xu Jingchang weighed it and said, "Then Uncle Ben should clean his stomach." As he spoke, he took the teapot from Zhu Xiancai's hand and drank the water "coo-dong"; After half a pot of tea was put into the stomach, he was induced to vomit and spit out all the tea.

After tossing and turning like this three times, Zhu Xiancai checked Xu Jingchang's pulse and said, "My lord, the poison in your stomach is almost clean, so you don't have to vomit anymore." With that, she took another glass of water and put it in front of Xu Jingchang.

"Didn't you say you didn't need to induce vomiting? Why do you still let Uncle Ben drink water? Xu Jingchang said with a trembling voice.

"My lord, this is to make my adult drink. The adults vomited so much just now, so they need to drink some water. Zhu Xiancai said.

Xu Jingchang was relieved, wiped his mouth with a hand towel, straightened up and sat on the bed, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, but immediately put the cup down again. He vomited too much just now, and as soon as the water entered his throat, he wanted to spit it out, and he didn't dare to drink it again.

Zhu Xiancai prescribed two more pairs of medicines, handed them to the person on the side and asked him to grab the medicines, turned his head and said to Xu Jingchang: "Lord Xu, the people girl prescribed two pairs of medicines to adults, once tonight and once tomorrow morning." Tomorrow morning, the folk girl will come again to give the adult a pulse. ”

"So much for the best. Thank you, Dr. Zhu. Xu Jingchang said: "Come and reward Dr. Zhu with twenty taels of gold." ”

"Thank you, Lord for the reward." Zhu Xiancai did not refuse.

Zhu Xiancai accepted the reward, and after a few more orders, he was about to retire. But as soon as she turned her head, she saw that the tent was lifted, and when she subconsciously looked up, she saw a very familiar person.
