Those who can accept the orders of the Governor's Mansion and come to Kunming to attend Wan's wedding should not be subservient to the Ming Dynasty, but also the Tusi who is ostensibly subservient to the Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of their coming to Kunming was not only to see who the Wan family was, but also to find out what kind of person the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who had been in office for more than a year.

Among these toasts, those who were effectively loyal to the imperial court, those who were effectively loyal to the Qianguo Prince's government, some who wanted to wait and see the situation, and some who were loyal to the Burmese king Ta Long came to spy on intelligence.

The Kingdom of Burma is now ruled by the Taungoo Dynasty, and the Burmese king Anabilom, who ascended the throne in 1605, not only recovered Lower Burma, but also recovered the Portuguese-occupied Saleem in 1613, thus reuniting Upper and Lower Burma and reversing the decline of the country at the end of the Mang Ying Long period.

However, this talented Burmese king was killed by his son Min Ye Depa when he was seriously ill in the first year of Chongzhen, but Min Ye Depa could not secure the position of Burma king, because his uncle Tarong, who was fighting against Shan State with military power, heard the news of his brother's murder and returned to the division to capture and execute his nephew, thus ascending to the position of Burma king in 1629.

However, after his accession to the throne, he wanted to move the capital, and his brother had other sons and brothers, and the elder brother was still quite prestigious in Burma, even if he executed Minyadepa, there were many ministers who thought that the throne should be passed on to Anabilun's other sons. Therefore, Talon wanted to move the royal capital away in order to strike at the southern nobles who supported the other nephews.

Second, the southern region of Bago, the royal capital of the Taungoo Dynasty, was only a quarter of the population of Burma, which made it common for careerists to rebel in Upper Burma, which had a large population in the north.

In addition, because of the Irrawaddy River, Salween River and other rivers in the south, many areas are still swampy areas, and there are seasonal floods, and due to the climate, mosquitoes breed, and it is a malaria-prone area.

Since 100 years ago, the Bago River has gradually silted up, depriving Bago of its convenience as a commercial center connecting the upper and lower Myanmar regions.

For these reasons, Tarong wanted to move the royal capital from Bago to the dry city of Awa, the most densely populated and agriculturally developed region of Burma. However, the distance between Ava and Daming is quite close, and if he can't understand the situation on Daming's side, Ta Long naturally doesn't dare to act rashly. Otherwise, the construction of the king here has not been completed, and the Ming sent troops to rush over, so it may be difficult for him, the king of Burma, to continue.

After these different minds came to Kunming, they found a piece of news that made them happy. It was this newly appointed governor of Yunnan and Guizhou who was much more amiable than the previous governors who guarded Yunnan, not only did he not extort money from them, but also promised to re-register them and apply for a list of Tusi and official uniforms and official seals.

In addition, Hong Chengchou suggested to these Tusi that since it was rare for everyone to come to Kunming, it would be better to hold a Tusi conference to put forward their requirements for the imperial court, and by the way, formulate the rules for exchanges between the Tusi and between the Tusi and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

It wasn't until after the meeting that they discovered that the new governor of Yunnan and Guizhou seemed to be about to change the rules made by the previous princes of Qianguo, which made them more and more interested.

At the Tusi Conference, Hong Chengchou issued his improved investiture procedures and token rationing, appointment conditions, materials, procedures and sequences, and promotion rewards and punishments management system.

He also re-agreed with the Tusi on the specifications and time of the tribute and reward, the number of paid and paid, the number of soldiers owned by each Tusi and their daily management, and the Confucian education of the Tusi's children.

In the end, the primogeniture inheritance system was also established, and the Tusi were not allowed to cross the border to marry, and they were not allowed to attack the neighboring Tusi. If there is a conflict between the Tusi, it should be appealed to the Tuji Judicial Division, and the contradictions that cannot be resolved by the Tusi Judicial Court shall be handed over to the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Office for handling.

The Tusi Tribunal has three chief magistrates for a five-year term, and a five-member list is selected by the Tusi Assembly, from which three are selected by the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Office. The Toast Assembly is a regular event and is held in December every year.

In addition, Hong Chengchou also decided to establish a Yunnan security army, so that the non-eldest sons of the Tusi family came to join the army, the scale of 3,000 people, and Liu Xingzuo sent people to train and command this army.

After Liu Xingzuo invited all the toasts to go to the military camp in the south of the city to watch a military drill, these toasts finally accepted Hong Chengchou's kindness.

With the means of grace and power, Hong Chengchou not only got the Tusi to agree, let the Governor's Office send exploration and surveyors into their territory, but also promised to assist the Yunnan Governor's Office in building a traffic road through his own territory.

When the toast conference was successfully concluded, the wedding of the Amizhou Wan clan officially began. Although the Han people have a saying of keeping filial piety, Hong Chengchou did not want to dream long at night, but in the name of respecting Yunnan customs, Wan, who had been widowed for less than a year, quickly got married.

This wedding seems to be extremely lively, even if Wan and Pu are famous. In addition to more than 50 Tusi present to congratulate, Hong Chengchou and Liu Xingzuo also brought Kunming's civil and military officials to show their faces, which can be regarded as giving Wan's face.

Wan, who married according to the Han way, finally smiled after seeing the mansion presented by Hong Chengchou and the guests like clouds. Although she lost the power of Amisizhou, the outstanding appearance of the groom and the mansion outside Kunming finally filled a lot of regrets in her heart.

At this wedding feast of laughter and laughter, not everyone is so happy. At least the young Sha Dingzhou seemed unhappy, hiding in a corner and drinking glass after glass. This made his younger brother Sha Jizhou extremely worried, and he couldn't help but persuade him a few times, wanting to let the second brother stop drinking.

Sha Dingzhou didn't listen to what his younger brother said, he just squinted his eyes and looked at the brother who was standing beside Hong Chengchou and nodding.

His father sent the three brothers to Kunming under the pretext of a recurrence of old injuries. Sha Dinghai, who has always been regarded as cowardly and incompetent by Sha Dingzhou, unexpectedly made the governor of Yungui take a fancy to him, not only personally recommended him to serve as the chief magistrate of the Turkish Judicial Court, but also prepared to let him serve as a senator of the governor's palace and become an official of the imperial court.

However, the conceited and brave Sha Dingzhou only got a second lieutenant of the security army, which made him extremely dissatisfied, thinking that this governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was simply burying talents.

However, after watching the drills of the field army, Sha Dingzhou had to admit that the temperament of these Ming troops was too different from that of the Ming army in Yunnan, even if it was the hundreds of guards under his father, it was just that.

However, these Ming troops not only numbered in the thousands, but also carried firearms that were difficult to resist. Sha Dingzhou knew that his father had secretly hidden dozens of guns, which were the Western-style arquebuses that the Vietnamese imitated, and the firepower was so powerful that even the samurai in armor could not block the close-range shooting of the muskets.

And the muskets used by these Ming troops did not even have a fire rope, which was obviously much easier to use than to hand over the guns, plus those powerful artillery. Sha Dingzhou can be sure that this Ming army alone is enough to defeat all the Tusi coalition forces in Yunnan, and the Tusi soldiers can only rely on the terrain to resist this heavily armed Ming army.

However, Sha Dingzhou is resentful, but he does not dare to target the imperial court, since this imperial court is not the sick cat he once thought, then Sha Dingzhou has not yet given birth to the courage to challenge the tiger.

Sha Dingzhou could only aim his resentment at his brother, complaining about why there was such a brother who took away all kinds of attention from his Xuanfu envoy and the imperial court, which was really unfair to him.

Seeing that his brother's back was venting his dissatisfaction with Sha Dingzhou in his heart, he suddenly saw that his brother and the governor were turning their heads to look at his side, which made his heart skip a beat, and he quickly squeezed out a smile on his face.

Before his smile was stacked, he saw his brother beckoning to him, as if asking him to come over and speak. He was stunned for a moment, and then he became a little excited, it was obvious that the Governor wanted to see him.

Sha Dingzhou jumped up quickly, and then calmed down a little, he didn't want the Governor to think that he was an unreliable hairy young man. After instructing his younger brother to continue to sit here and eat and drink, Sha Dingzhou held back his excitement and walked steadily in the direction of the governor.

Hong Chengchou glanced at the brother recommended by Sha Dinghai, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be shrewd; The eyebrows are short and tailless, and the affection is weak; Turning lips and showing teeth is ruthless. This is far from the generous Sha Dinghai.

However, Hong Chengchou still praised Sha Dingzhou with a smile on his face, and talked with him a few words of gossip, and then said to him casually: "Sha Xuan's envoy is really a queen, the eldest son is literate and generous, and the second son is brave and resolute. Today, there are many people talking, and the official will not tell you much, but if you come to the governor's yamen at ten o'clock tomorrow, the official will have some things to do with you. ”

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he got up and left with the entourage officials. Sha Dingzhou was a little stunned, and it wasn't until Hong Chengchou's back disappeared into the hall that he asked his brother in a low voice, "Big brother, what does the governor want to tell me to do?" ”

Sha Dinghai patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, and when you meet the Governor tomorrow, you will know, it won't be a bad thing." Let's go and toast the groom a few cups, and in the future, when you do things under Lord Liu, you have to have a good relationship with this Lord Liu's cronies..."

Early the next morning, Sha Dingzhou came to the yamen of the governor's palace in Kunming as promised, and after hearing his name, the gatekeeper took him to Hong Chengchou's signing room. Looking at the respectful officials standing outside the signing room, Sha Dingzhou felt envious for a while. He thought to himself that if he could sit in his room and wait for these officials to come and pay a visit, he would probably have nothing to ask for in this life.
