1023 Annam's Preparedness
As soon as he heard him say seriously, Zhao Yu immediately became more serious and listened attentively.
But Zhu Xieyuan didn't say it right away, just looked at Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin. The implication is obvious.
When Qin Liangyu saw it, he was also interested, so he immediately made an excuse and left with his son and daughter-in-law hugging his fists.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't know what Governor Zhu said next, and he actually asked Qin Liangyu and them to avoid it?
When only the two of them were left in the tent, Zhu Xieyuan slowly whispered: "If the Tang King wants to occupy the land of Dongwu, I am afraid that it will shake these toasts on the border of the Ming Dynasty. The old man has been dealing with many toasts in the southwest for a long time, and he knows their thoughts very clearly. If someone is willing to provoke it, those toasts on the border will secretly unite with Dongwu. ”
Speaking of this, he was afraid that Zhao Yu would not understand, so he explained in detail: "The predecessor of Dongwu is my Ming Dynasty's Burmese military and civilian propaganda envoys. Now that the king of Tang has revealed his intention to occupy his territory as a vassal state, if the king of Ta Long uses this to provoke the Tusi on the border of Yunnan, saying that the Ming Dynasty is doing this to Dongwu today, he will not be able to guarantee that he will not do this to them in the future. There are too many similar words, and those Tusi leaders are afraid that their territory will be treated equally by the Ming Dynasty, and they will lose their minds and do things, I'm afraid it's not impossible! “
Hearing this, Zhao Yu was taken aback. When the two armies are fighting, if a friendly army suddenly stabs in the back, the Ming army may be really in danger.
Before he could speak, Zhu Xieyuan said again: "A lot of toasts will not be loyal to my Ming Dynasty, and the Extravagant Rebellion is an example." The imperial court must be wary of these toasts. Even in the long run, it is imperative to change the land and return to the stream. And this is not good for these toast leaders, and there are a lot of people who are unwilling to give in! ”
The Tusi system of the Ming Dynasty was based on the Yuan Dynasty and reached its peak due to historical reasons. After the Ming rule was stabilized, those Tusi places where the conditions were ripe were implemented to change the land and return to the stream, and this policy reached a climax in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. No imperial court allowed the long-term existence of the Tusi system. Because of the Tusi system, it boils down to "the world officials, the world land, and the people", that is to say, the Tusi leader is hereditary, the territory is hereditary, and the people to whom they belong are slaves for generations. It's like a small kingdom coming.
Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, Tusi also had to pay tribute to the imperial court and pay a certain tax, as a symbol that Tusi belonged to a part of the Ming Dynasty. But as far as the Central Plains Dynasty is concerned, it is definitely better to change the land and return to the stream, and the Tusi leader naturally does not want to change the land and return to the stream, which is the root of the conflict.
Zhu Xieyuan has been in the southwest for many years and knows the thoughts of the Tusi leader well. When he led the troops to suppress the rebellion of Hao'an, he used more discordant tactics and counter-plots, and his strategy could not succeed if he did not understand the mind of the Tusi chief.
After he spoke carefully, Zhao Yu finally understood what he was worried about, and immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Governor, the lower officials will immediately report to the emperor." ”
After finishing speaking, he stood still in front of Zhu Xieyuan and entered the chat group to report to the emperor.
Zhu Xieyuan looked at him and couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. He is the one who leads the troops to fight, and the first thing that comes to mind is that if he has this ability when he fights, he doesn't know how much easier the battle will be! Suddenly, he woke up again, could it be that the victories on the Liaodong battlefield were because the emperor used this ability on the battlefield?
He was thinking about it, but when he saw Zhao Yu come back to his senses, he still whispered to him with a serious face: "The emperor also feels that what he said is reasonable, and the old Min Pavilion has been reminded." Also, what does the Governor think of the Governor's side? ”
Speaking of this, he added in a low voice: "Just now, the lower official saw that the Governor asked him to avoid it, so the lower official thought about asking. ”
Zhu Xieyuan listened, and looked at Zhao Yu a little puzzled, this question is what the emperor wants to ask, or is it really Zhao Yu's own problem? However, no matter who asked, he replied in a low voice: "The stone pillar is the power of the loyal liebo, and he was knighted as a woman, and the emperor has never seen the grandeur of his kindness." And Uncle Zhonglie's family is full of loyal martyrs, and the old man himself is also loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and will not be suspicious of the court because of possible things. The emperor transferred the white pole army to Dongwu, I am afraid that he also understands the loyalty of Zhongliebo, so there will be no problem with Zhongliebo! ”
Hearing him say this, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Chung Lie is fine, that's for the best!
"The old man asked him to avoid it just now, not because he doubted his loyalty, but when he talked about the politics of Tusi, it was inconvenient to listen to it after all, so that's it." When Zhu Xieyuan said this, he turned around and walked out, as if there was nothing going on. But when he first arrived at the door, he turned around again and said to Zhao Yu, who came out to see him off: "It's convenient for you here, just tell the emperor for the old man, if Dongwu still needs military support, as long as there is money and food to be allocated, there is an army that can fight here!" ”
Daming is not without soldiers, but without money. For Zhu Xieyuan, suppressing civil strife for the Ming Dynasty is far less desirable than opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty. If the feudal overseas policy of the vassal king is implemented, the Ming Dynasty will expand its territory and set off a new round of action. He's looking forward to it.
Lian Po is old, and he can still eat three bowls of him!
With the money and food provided by the Tang King, Qin Liangyu led 5,000 white-pole troops, and soon drove all the way to Dongwu.
At the same time, in the Forbidden City, there is an earth dragon heating, and the palace is also very warm. Emperor Chongzhen was playing mahjong with Tian Guifei, Yuan Guifei and the newly promoted Hai Guifei, but it was also very lively.
Originally, she asked Empress Zhou to play together, but even if Emperor Chongzhen said that she should be happy during the Spring Festival, she didn't agree. So, Emperor Chongzhen played with the three concubines.
Just playing and playing, Emperor Chongzhen began to desert.
The pacification of the Extravagant Rebellion is enough to prove Zhu Xieyuan's commanding ability. If you look at the scale of the battle, the ability he showed is even higher than Min Hongxue. Of course, he valued the promotion of Min Hongxue, not for his ability to lead troops to fight, but for the measures he implemented to alleviate people's livelihood during the Yunnan period, and there was another one, which he recommended by Wen Tiren.
"Bump!" I heard Tian Guifei shouting in laughter like a silver bell.
Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses, only to find that he had thrown it out and was touched by Tian Guifei, seeing her smile like a flower, he didn't care, followed the smile, and played mahjong again.
But soon, his eyes began to drift again, and his heart continued to think about what had just happened.
What Zhu Xieyuan said through Zhao Yu is indeed very reasonable. This capable person, if he doesn't use it well, it's a pity. I don't know why, in later life, I didn't hear of his reputation. It stands to reason that he is only stronger than Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others in terms of ability, right?
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that in the original history, after Zhu Xieyuan had been pacifying the rebellion of Hao'an, he still needed to continue to deter the southwest, and he couldn't leave. In the end, he died in office in March of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and did not have the opportunity to go to the Central Plains and Liaodong battlefields. Because of this, his popularity in later generations is much smaller.
The matter he reacted about Toast is indeed necessary to be resolved. But at present, it is not yet time to solve the toast, at least after waiting for the feudal overseas affairs of the feudal king, then he will have the energy to do so much toast in the Ming Dynasty. If there is Zhu Xieyuan to preside over this matter, it is the best choice. It's just a pity that Zhu Xieyuan is already old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for that day.
From the meaning of what he said, it seems that he still wants to participate in Dongwu's affairs, but Dongwu's side, there is already Min Hongxue. And what about the other South Seas countries?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but get excited, slapped his hand, his palm hurt, and immediately came back to his senses, but he saw that he had overturned his mahjong tiles.
"Your Majesty, are you confused?" Yuan Guifei was a little surprised.
"So fast, it's impossible, concubine take a look!" Tian Guifei leaned over to verify.
Hai Lanzhu was also confused, and had already stared at Emperor Chongzhen's card, and then pointed to the card and said: "It's not confused, the emperor is deceitful, and the emperor is Laipi!" ”
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he stood up with a smile and said to Empress Zhou behind him: "No, I have been seen through, you can replace me!" Family, for the New Year, you should be happy, let go! ”
Hearing him say this, the three concubines followed suit. No matter what the three of them think in their hearts, in front of the emperor, they must always show their sisterhood!
Empress Zhou had already seen that the emperor had something to do at this time, and when she saw that the emperor had repeatedly invited her to be happy, she felt that she was very important in his heart, so she did not refuse her kindness again.
Emperor Chongzhen sat on a recliner and watched his four wives playing mahjong, so he entered the chat group and chatted privately with Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and said: "The news about Annan is all summarized, and the horse is sent to the southwest and handed over to Zhu Xieyuan, the young guard." ”
What he just thought of was to arrange for Zhu Xieyuan to deal with the affairs of Annan and include Vietnam in the later Ming Dynasty. In this way, when the Daming sailors set foot in the South Seas or even go to Australia, they can use Annam as a supply point or starting point.
Ah, I am really working hard, for the New Year, I will take precautions for the Ming Dynasty, not to enjoy the blessings of the people, and to plan the bright future of the Ming Dynasty!
When Emperor Chongzhen was in the mood to ridicule himself, in the Dongwu Ava area, there was no New Year's atmosphere at all, and some were just a team of soldiers.
In the past, Dong Wu was the Burmese military and civilian propaganda envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not have a calendar, but used the Ming calendar. There are also many Ming people in Donggo, spreading various technologies. Everything in the Ming Dynasty was the fashion of the Celestial Empire at that time, and it was sought after by the Dongwu people, so the Ming New Year, and the Dongwu New Year.
A hundred miles north of Ava City, in the mountains and forests, a small official road winds around the foot of the mountain. In a forest not far from the official road, there was a group of people leaning against a tree and closing their eyes, no one spoke, only the wind blew the forest and the birds chirped.
Suddenly, a man turned out the kettle and looked up to the sky to drink only to find only one or two drops of water, not even a sip of water. He swallowed and spit, stood up, and tried to walk towards the sound of water in the woods.
At this time, one of them looked at him and whispered, "Why are you going?" ”
"Master Fu, my subordinates have no water, go fill some water to drink." The man also replied in the official dialect of the Great Ming Dynasty.
When Fu Yuman heard this, he frowned and said: "The regulations in the army are not allowed to drink raw water!" ”
"Hehe, it's okay, my subordinates have drunk raw water for so many years, and I don't see anything!" When the man heard this, he smiled and said, "I've been here for a day and a night, and my subordinates are very thirsty. ”
Hearing the two of them talk, the others also opened their eyes and looked at the two of them. To be honest, there was no such rule in the army before, and this was newly promulgated before the expedition, which made many of them a little unaccustomed to it. Drink water, you have to boil water to drink, I don't know who came up with the trick, so troublesome, I will toss myself as a poor soldier!
When Fu Yuman heard this, he said seriously: "Do you know who proposed this, and must ask the army to drink boiling water?" ”
In the past, even he himself was used to drinking water when he wanted to, so he drank the stream water or something, happy! But at this time, he had to strictly enforce the regulations in the army.
"Who?" Many soldiers were very curious and hurriedly asked.
There was even a soldier who said: "Could it be the ...... who is stupid in reading?"
Before he finished his words, Fu Yuman hurriedly interrupted: "It's the emperor!" The emperor said that there are things in this water that we can't see with the naked eye, and some are poisonous, and only by boiling the water can these poisons be removed, so as to reduce the chance of getting sick! ”
When the "......" heard this answer, all the soldiers were immediately stupid. They didn't expect that this was actually requested by the emperor, and it was such an unbelievable explanation. The soldier who just said that he was stupid to read and read subconsciously closed his mouth and lowered his head, trying to reduce his sense of existence. I thought in my heart, it's so dangerous, I almost said something rebellious!
Fu Yuman looked at their expressions and said solemnly: "I didn't believe it much before, but this time the army marched south, as far as I know, there are a lot fewer things such as illness and diarrhea, understand?" ”
Speaking of this, he sighed in a low voice: "The emperor's ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he even knows such a thing, it is really a saint!" ”
Fu Yuman is the general, and he naturally gets more information than his subordinates. The words spoken at this time are also authoritative among his subordinates. So, when he finished speaking, his men immediately believed him. The subordinate who wanted to fetch water replied, so he could only smash his mouth and lick his dry lips.
When one of his comrades saw this, he threw his own kettle over. After the man finished drinking, he whispered to himself, "Are all the scouts of Donggo dead?" ”
