Chapter Seventy-Three: The Tibetans Enter Yunnan
After coming to Kunming, I immediately went to Muwangfu to see what happened to Sun Kewang.
As a result, as soon as I walked into King Mu's mansion, I heard someone say: "Your Majesty, I have the heart to come to Yunnan to vote for you, but you can't let me stay in Yunnan all the time, and I won't be saved when I die!" ”
It was none other than Sun Kewang who spoke.
If I'm not mistaken, Sun Kewang is losing his temper with Zhu Youlang, and he should be talking about Chengdu.
Seeing this, I stood at the door and didn't go in, wanting to hear what Zhu Youlang's attitude was.
"Since you think of me as the Ming Dynasty, you shouldn't listen to Chongzhen's command. And now the Tibetans have entered western Yunnan, and they have also taken the Benzilan military stronghold, and are about to attack the Lijiang military and civilian government. If you lead troops north to Chengdu, who will protect my Yunnan country! ”
I was surprised to hear that.
The Benzilan in Zhu Youlang's mouth is actually the Tiger Leaping Gorge Town in the north of Lijiang today.
Further north of the Tiger Leaping Gorge is the place where the Tibetans of Yunnan live, the Zhongdian Military and Civilian Mansion, which is today's Shangri-La.
Zhu Youlang said that the Tibetans had captured Benzilan, and I couldn't help but think of the previous time in Chengdu. Dorje once told me that he wanted me to give him jurisdiction over Sichuan and the Tibetan areas in western Yunnan.
But I think it's very strange how with the strength of the Tibetans, it is possible to take Benzilan under the condition of attacking Sichuan. You must know that Benzilan is the only way for Tibetans to enter the Han region of Yunnan, although the place is remote, but since Mu Ying captured Yunnan, there has always been a large army stationed.
With this question in mind, I walked into the hall.
Seeing me suddenly appear, Zhu Youlang's little white face trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to speak in an instant.
And Sun Kewang was enthusiastic about me, he knelt on the ground with Mu Tianbo, and said to me: "The emperor went to Yunnan in person, and the ministers missed the distance, and I hope that the emperor will atone for his sins!" ”
"Get up!"
After the two got up, Sun Kewang said to me: "Your Majesty, now that my third brother is besieged by Tibetans in Chengdu, I hope the emperor will approve me to lead troops to help!" ”
Seeing that Sun Kewang was so anxious, I wanted to scold him.
If he had followed me, how could he have been in the situation now?
But I'm the emperor after all, and he hasn't promised to return to me yet, so I'll put up with it.
Although I endured it, Mu Xia's little girl's mouth was not idle, she deliberately ridiculed Sun Kewang and said: "General Sun, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose the master to do things." Now that you're with the lard boy, why are you still begging the emperor! ”
As soon as he said this, Sun Kewang's face couldn't hold back, and he didn't dare to say a word when he was scared.
Sun Kewang didn't speak, but Zhu Youlang's little white face slapped the table and said, "Little county lord, please respect yourself!" ”
As soon as he said this, Mu Xia quarreled with Zhu Youlang, and the two had a lot of trouble.
After a long time, the two finally quieted down, and Zhu Youlang said coldly: "It's not that I won't let you go to Sichuan, but now I'm worried that Lijiang is not guaranteed, and I hope you will take the troops to Lijiang first!" ”
As soon as he said this, Sun Kewang became angry directly, pulled out the knife with a swish, and roared: "Lijiang is not the land of my Han Dynasty, what can I do if I don't protect it?" But if my third brother loses his life in Chengdu, my grandson is expected to be the first to kill you! ”
Sun Kewang will be happy as soon as he does this, according to his current relationship with Zhu Youlang, he will beg me to take him in sooner or later.
But as the emperor, I still scolded him and said to him: "General Sun, don't be rude to King Gui!" ”
"Your Majesty, I ......" Sun Kewang put the knife away, looking aggrieved.
After appeasing Sun Kewang, I talked to Zhu Youlang and asked him what the situation was in Lijiang.
Zhu Youlang told me that it was in Tsering. After Dorje captured the two prefectures of Li and Mian, the Tibetans went south from the military and civilian government in Zhongdian, although there were not many people, but the momentum was very fierce, and the Ming army in western Yunnan could not stop it at all.
Listening to him say this, I am very impressed with Tsering. Dorje's perception changed in an instant.
This time Ren. Dorje, I seem to have really underestimated him before.
If I'm not mistaken, the reason why he let the Tibetans invade western Yunnan was actually to contain Sun Kewang.
Because he knew that Sun Kewang was attached to Zhu Youlang, and he knew Zhu Youlang's character even better, after all, Zhu Youlang wanted to marry Mu Xia to him in exchange for a place to live.
Therefore, under such circumstances, he sent troops to invade western Yunnan, and Zhu Youlang would inevitably not let Sun Kewang go.
High, really high!
That said, in my opinion, the Tibetan invasion of western Yunnan is actually just a front, and there is no need to worry about it at all.
Thinking of this, I analyzed the stakes with Zhu Youlang, hoping that he would not put heavy troops in western Yunnan, but focus on the overall situation, and let Sun Kewang go to Sichuan to help.
I explained the reason very clearly, but Zhu Youlang insisted on not agreeing, what to tell me about Tibetans If they take western Yunnan, they may capture Kunming within a month, and then he can only be the emperor in distress.
After hearing this, I was about to scold him, but Mu Xia took the lead and said, "Lard boy, are you a pig brain?" My emperor's brother has analyzed it very clearly with you, and you are still here with your mother-in-law. Besides, even if the Tibetans invade western Yunnan, isn't there still the Mu Tusi of the Lijiang Military and Civil Mansion? Mu's Tusi has always been loyal to the imperial court, and if you make an edict, they will obediently resist the Tibetans, you are afraid of a fart! ”
Mu Xia is right, the Mu family Tusi of the Lijiang Military and Civil Mansion is actually the leader of the local Naxi tribe.
The reason why they are called Mu's Tusi is because after Mu Ying conquered Lijiang, the Naxi leaders obediently surrendered to the imperial court, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave them the surname Han in order to influence them, and let them live in Lijiang.
So until now, when we travel to Lijiang, we can still see the Lijiang Mu's Tusi Mansion back then!
After Mu Xia finished speaking, Mu Tianbo added: "Yes, even if the Lijiang Mu Clan Tusi can't resist the Tibetans, you can still send the officials and troops of the Dali Military and Civil Mansion and the Changning Military and Civil Mansion to support, it's not worth worrying about at all!" ”
As soon as he said this, Zhu Youlang's little white was silent.
Seeing that he was silent, I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huang, what do you think?" ”
After a long time, he asked hesitantly: "I can promise you, but if the Tibetans really capture Lijiang and kill Kunming, can you take me to Fuzhou!" ”
I grass! Hearing this, Lao Tzu became angry directly. scolded: "Zhu Youlang, you are still Zhu Yuanzhang's descendant, you have lost the face of the old Zhu family." Always know that you only know to protect your own life, not for the sake of the country, just like this, you still want to be the emperor? You should be the emperor of eggs. If I cower like you, I'll die tomorrow morning! ”
Seeing me scolding Zhu Youlang, Mu Tianbo and the others laughed out loud, and Zhu Youlang didn't dare to say a word.
……
In this way, in a few words, I got rid of Sun Kewang's aid to Chengdu.
After finishing this, Mu Tianbo took us to split Zhu Youlang and came to his tea room.
After coming to the tea room, Mu Tianbo reacted to me, saying that if Zhu Youlang continued to stay in Yunnan, I was afraid that the country's major policies would be delayed in the future, so he asked me if I could think of a way to get Zhu Youlang away.
After Mu Tianbo finished speaking, before I could express my position, Sun Kewang said directly: "Qianguo Gong, if I were you, I would have killed him a long time ago." Zhu Youlang, this waste, what's the use of keeping it! ”
Yes, it's really useless for Zhu Youlang to keep it, and Lao Tzu also wants to kill him.
But when Sun Kewang said this, I still listened a little mustard.
Come to think of it, he is just a general, even if he wants to make contributions to the country, he should not say such rebellious words.
You must know that Zhu Youlang is Chongzhen's younger brother.
He even wants to kill Zhu Youlang, if he wants to become bigger in the future, wouldn't even Lao Tzu want to bluff.
My face sank, and I said coldly: "General Sun, although King Gui has no way to govern the country, he is my younger brother after all, do you want to kill me even if you say this?" ”
As soon as he said this, Sun Kewang immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The emperor atoned for his sins, but the minister didn't mean that." The minister just thinks that King Gui is really too much of a way! ”
"Humph! King Gui can handle it, you don't have to worry about it. ”
After reprimanding Sun Kewang, I appeased Mu Tianbo and asked him to endure for the time being, telling him that after I repelled the Tibetans, I would deal with Zhu Youlang.
Mu Tianbo nodded, didn't say anything more, and drank tea with me.
……
Originally, when I left Nanjing, I thought that after settling the matter of Sun Kewang, I would go back immediately.
But when I learned about Tsering. Dorje, after not being as stupid as I thought, I wanted to meet him personally and see how capable he really was.
So I gave up my plan to return to Nanjing, followed Sun Kewang's army, and rushed to Sichuan.
