After discussing with Mu Tianbo the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", I hurriedly returned to the dormitory and prepared to appease Shuang'er.

As a result, Frost ran to the back garden alone to vent her anger, tearing the petals and talking to herself.

Looking at her angry appearance, I wanted to laugh and feel distressed.

So he quietly approached her, and then stopped her and hugged her, and then said with a smile: "Big wife, what are you sulking here alone?" ”

Although Shuang'er was very angry with me, she belonged to the deep palace concubine of that kind of traditional thinking, and she didn't dare to be angry in front of me.

Instead, he said to me: "Your Majesty, I'm not angry!" ”

"And said no! Do you think I'm stupid, is it because of the little princess? ”

Shuang'er was reserved for a few seconds, and said very sadly: "Actually, the emperor is the son of heaven, and I have no right to object to whoever I like, and it is normal to have three palaces and six courts." It's just that Shuang'er and I have been lonely since I was a child, and later I was fortunate enough to be adopted by Wu Xiang as a righteous daughter, but unfortunately now my father-in-law is dead, and my brother-in-law Sangui has betrayed the emperor, so I ......"

I understood what she meant, she didn't actually object to me being with other women, but was worried that if I had other women, I would snub her.

Seeing this, I explained and said, "Lady Shuang'er, I don't like the little county lord at all, I just treat her as a sister. Don't think nonsense, when I pacify Zhang Xianzhong this time and relieve the siege of Yunnan, I will make you the queen when I come back! ”

Yes, I've long wanted to seal Shuang'er as the main palace, but I've been busy running and fighting, so I don't have time at all.

I thought that after saying this, Shuang'er would be very happy, but she took my hand and said, "The concubine doesn't care if she is the queen or not, the concubine just wants to be by the emperor's side all the time." Since the emperor is going on an expedition, the concubine will accompany the emperor to pacify Zhang Xianzhong! ”

Nima, hearing her words, buddy, my heart warms.

After so long, the only one who really cares about me selflessly is Frost.

But the expedition to Zhang Xianzhong must be dangerous, buddy, how can I be willing to let her accompany me to eat and sleep in the open.

So I persuaded her to stay in Fuzhou and let her learn how to manage the government from Shi Kefa.

She didn't understand what I meant at first, thinking I didn't want to take her.

In fact, the main reason why my buddy wanted her to learn how to manage the government was that I didn't have much time to stay in Fuzhou. Because now in addition to pacifying Zhang Xianzhong, I will also have to go on a Northern Expedition later. Therefore, someone must watch the government affairs of the DPRK and China for me.

And Shuang'er is loyal to me in every way, if she can take charge of the government in the future, then I won't worry about a fire in the backyard when I go out to fight.

After listening to my explanation, Shuang'er agreed very obediently, so she obediently stayed in Fuzhou and learned how to govern the country with Shi Kefa.

After arranging Shuang'er, I asked the minister of Qincha to go to Shuixi, Guizhou with the holy decree in advance, and told the current Shuixi Tusi Xuan Chongming that I was about to encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong, and asked him to contact the head of the Yi tribe in the six tribes of Shuixi as soon as possible, and prepare to intercept Li Dingguo in Zhaotong.

After the messenger left Fuzhou, I personally led an army of 50,000, with Xia Wanchun as the vanguard and Zhang Zhao as the deputy general, and started the journey of Zhang Xianzhong in the west.

……

The 50,000-strong army marched along Fujian into Guangdong, then from Guangxi to the north, and then officially entered Guizhou.

Just when the army had just entered Guizhou, Mu Tianbo sent a secret report, telling me that Li Dingguo had captured the Qujing Military and Civil Mansion, and was about to fight with Sun Longing to attack Kunming. I beg me to lead the army into Sichuan as soon as possible, otherwise by the time I arrive in Chengdu, Kunming will have already been breached.

Looking at Mu Tianbo's urgent battle report, buddy, I was anxious.

The reason why I am so anxious is, on the one hand, that the war in Yunnan is critical; On the other hand, the ministers sent to Shuixi have not returned for a long time, which makes me have no idea what the attitude of the Yi people in Shuixi is towards the imperial court.

Think about it, if Shuixi Yi Tusi Yu Chongming was unwilling to obey the command of the imperial court and did not help me intercept Li Dingguo, then I might not have arrived in Chengdu before I was intercepted and killed by Li Dingguo's troops in southern Sichuan.

But now I can't care so much, thinking that going north to Sichuan will pass through Shuixi, Guizhou anyway, so I marched rapidly for three days, crossed the vast Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and finally arrived at Wusabu, one of the six departments of Shuixi, which is now Bijie City, Guizhou.

After arriving in Usa, I asked the army to camp and repair first, and then I prepared to go to the Usa Military and Civilian Mansion in person to see what was going on in the various departments in Shuixi.

As a result, as soon as I was about to walk out of the tent, the guards ran in and said to me: "Your Majesty, the eldest son of Shuixi Tusi, Hao Peng, wants to ask to see Your Majesty!" ”

Dude, I don't know who this extravagant peng is, but since he wants to see me, there must be something, so I asked the guards to let him in.

Soon, a short man dressed in Yi costume walked in.

After coming in, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said in an authentic Guizhou dialect: "Your Majesty, you must be the master of Hao Peng!" ”

Forehead......

Calling the shots? What the does this mean?

"If you have any grievances, you can get up and talk about it!"

Hao Peng stood up and immediately told me about his grievances.

It turned out that according to the regulations set by Zhu Yuanzhang that year, ethnic minority Tusi could inherit the official position, and the hereditary person must be the eldest son of the previous Tusi. But after the death of the predecessor Tusi Hao Chongming, the eldest son Hao Peng did not get the position of Tusi, but was occupied by his second brother Hao Long.

Haolong not only occupied the title, but also killed Haopeng's entire family, and he alone led the six departments of Shuixi.

After talking about the title, Hao Peng said to me again: "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, you sent a messenger to send a holy decree to my Shuixi, and my Shuixi should have responded to the call of the imperial court to block Li Dingguo. But the emperor didn't know that since the dragon dominated Shuixi, he colluded with the Tibetans in Sichuan with the intention of rebelling against the imperial court and letting Shuixi break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that the messenger was killed by the extravagant dragon after he came! ”

After listening to Hao Peng's words, I suddenly remembered that Gao Xiaosong said in "The Tragedy of the Southern Ming Dynasty" that in the last years of Chongzhen, the world was in turmoil, and the six Yi tribes in Shuixi, Guizhou, had openly rebelled against the imperial court, and even under the leadership of Tusi, they attacked Yibin, Luzhou and other cities in southern Sichuan, and finally Shuixi Tusi also established himself as the emperor in Bijie City, Guizhou, and directly broke away from the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It was not until after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains that Wu Sangui went south to Yunnan to suppress these Yi separatists.

Thinking of this, buddy, I'm shocked!

Think about it, if the six departments of Shuixi rebelled, it would be impossible for Lao Tzu to "encircle Wei and save Zhao", because I could only intercept Li Dingguo by relying on the native soldiers of Shuixi.

And if you want to solve the problem of the six departments of Shuixi, you can only support a person who obeys the orders of the imperial court to be the toast, otherwise everything is empty talk.

So he said to Hao Peng: "Hao Peng, if I help you regain the position of Shuixi Tusi, are you willing to obey the orders of the imperial court?" ”

"Your Majesty! My six departments of Shuixi have been favored by the emperor since their ancestors were Ai Cui and extravagant incense, and they are also loyal to the imperial court. Now the reason why Shuixi will disobey the imperial court is all to blame for the traitor of the luxury dragon. If the emperor asks me to govern Shuixi, I will definitely be loyal to the court like the ancestor Mrs. Xiangxiang and manage Shuixi well! ”

Hearing this, buddy, I have the bottom in my heart.

So I asked him how I could help him get back into the position of toast.

The reason why I asked him was because I didn't know much about the internal practices of ethnic minorities, and I didn't have time to lead troops to counterinsurgency, but I wanted to solve the most complicated problems in the simplest way.

After hearing this, Hao Peng said to me: "The emperor doesn't know that my Yi people are barbaric and uneducated. If you want to make the six tribes of Shuixi obey my orders, there is only one way, and that is to kill the dragon and the current leader of the six tribes of Shuixi. Only by letting these traitors die, will Shuixi people obey the orders of the imperial court! ”

"And how many soldiers and horses do you need to eliminate these traitors?"

Hao Peng thought for a while and said: "In fact, if you want to eliminate them, you don't need many soldiers and horses, one hundred and ten people are enough. And now the leaders of the six departments of Shuixi are planning how to rebel against the imperial court at the foot of Wumeng Mountain. If the emperor wants to stabilize Shuixi, he must clear it in time! ”

When I heard this, I was shocked.

If it weren't for Hao Peng's timely report, Lao Tzu might have encountered the rebellion of these Shuixi native soldiers immediately.

Thinking of this, I called Xia Wanchun and the others in, and I was ready to personally clear out the six anti-thieves.

After Xia Wanchun and the others heard this, they dissuaded me one after another, saying that the Yi people were too barbaric, and that I had just learned some martial arts, and they were worried that I would be in danger.

The buddy got up angrily and said: "Although my martial arts skills are not as good as yours, I don't enter the tiger's den, how can I get the tiger?" Moreover, Wumeng Mountain is only twenty miles away from where we set up camp, if we set off now, we can pacify Shuixi tomorrow! ”

After saying this, the people no longer dared to object.

Immediately, I dispatched a hundred elite soldiers, took Zhang Zhao, Xia Wanchun and Mu Xia, and followed the dragon straight to Wumeng Mountain.
