1087 Shapp's Rebellion

After the end of the Great Imperial Conference, the civil and military officials dispersed, and the relevant yamen had to be busy for the establishment of the primary military preparation hall. But the first assistant Wen Tiren wanted to ask for an audience again.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he probably guessed that Wen Tiren probably came to him for the matter of Yan Zheng, after all, he said that after the triumph, he would give a simple way to solve the problem of Yan Zheng. It can be seen that Wen Tiren is probably very curious, and he has held back for many days, not wanting to wait any longer. Or maybe he wants to speed up the innovation of the salt administration and worry about national affairs!

In either case, Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't mind. The reason why he didn't take the initiative to mention this matter was mainly because he had just returned to Beijing, and the rewards and punishments for the battle of Liao had just been implemented. And the innovation of the hereditary system, after all, has moved the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, and we must take this opportunity to deal with it as soon as possible. The original plan, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to wait for today's things to be arranged, and only after the specific implementation did he pay attention to the salt administration. But since Wen Tiren came to ask to see, it would be okay to talk to him.

The will went down, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne, and he didn't want to deal with other things, so he entered the chat group to read the news. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's a little surprising when you look at it.

There is a private chat from the Yunnan side, to be precise, it is the news sent by Min Hongxue, who is now in Mengmi, saying that in the south of Yunnan, there is a Tusi rebellion near Annan, and he is ready to lead the troops back to Kunming, and then go to crusade against Tusi.

For this matter, Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there had only been a big war in the western part of Yunnan, and even destroyed Dongwu and changed the title to Tang State.

Thinking so, he carefully learned about this Tusi rebellion. Or because of the chat group system, Emperor Chongzhen's memory of his previous life is obviously much better. After reading the relevant information, I suddenly remembered that in the original history, there was indeed a Tusi Rebellion here, and the scale was very large and lasted for a long time, known as the "Shapu Rebellion"!

In the original history, due to the reputation of Tusipu in southern Yunnan after the conquest of the "Rebellion of Luxury", the strength increased greatly, and the rebellion was launched in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and the reputation of Chongzhen was killed in the fifth year, and his wife Wan still led his people, and continued to be chaotic in southern Yunnan.

However, in this plane, a lot has changed due to the butterfly effect. Although the strength of Pu Ming's reputation increased greatly, when he was about to rebel, the news of a victory in the north came, which made him hesitate for a while, and then, the auxiliary minister Min Hongxue was the minister of the Qincha and arrived in Yunnan to train his troops, which shocked him even more and made him dare not act rashly. As everyone knows, it is also because of this that he has been killed in battle, but he has always been alive.

Amizhou is a little far away from Dongwu, and when Min Hongxue conquered Dongwu, he did not recruit the general reputation. After the Battle of Dongwu ended, Pu Ming was a little hesitant and in a dilemma. He is strong, and the combat strength of the surrounding Tusi and the Ming army is not very good, which makes his mind swell, and he is unwilling to live like this.

But Min Hong learned that there was also the matter of military training, which made him dare not move. The victory of the Great Battle of Dongwu frightened Pu Mingming even more. But when he learned the details of the battle of Donggo, his mind came alive again.

In his opinion, King Talong of Dongwu is a fool, his deployment is clearly known by the Ming army, and his own grain route is not well protected, and he can't even find out if the army is hiding behind, resulting in a complete defeat. No wonder this King Talong is contrary to the previous King of Dongwu, he didn't dare to go around, but just wanted to recuperate, it turned out that he was just an incompetent person!

Pu Mingsheng also found that the soldiers and horses trained by Min Hongxue were all owned by the Tang State, and the elite white pole army was also far away from the Tang State to exterminate the remnants of Dongwu and did not return for a long time. Even later, even Qincha Min Hongxue was stationed in Mengmi, and Yunnan was empty.

In addition, Pu Ming also heard some rumors, saying that the imperial court was going to change the land and return to the stream, and this was what Tusi was most afraid of. In the previous battle of Dongwu, the main reason why Tusi was willing to be Dongwu's internal response was also because of this. Therefore, Pu Ming is a little worried that he will not do anything when he has a heavy army, and once the imperial court begins to focus on the deployment of the matter of changing the land and returning to the stream, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist.

However, this time Pu Ming finally decided to rebel, judging from the information provided by Min Hongxue, there are two important factors.

First, Pu Ming's wife Wan Shi, called Wan Cailian, is the daughter of a merchant, who is lustful for power, and is unwilling to be deprived of the power of the queen, so she instigates Pu Mingming to rebel.

Second, this one can't be confirmed, but Min Hongxue also reported it, saying that a big war seems to be breaking out on the Annan side, and the Ruan clan in the south has sent a messenger to Ah Mizhou, and Wan Shi and Pu Mingming have been in contact with each other. Soon after, Pu's reputation was reversed.

At the end of the message, Min Hongxue pleaded guilty, and there was such a thing in the jurisdiction, and he confessed his guilt. I hope that Emperor Chongzhen can give him some time, and he will be able to lead the troops to quell the rebellion.

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about this, or Min Hongxue didn't care much about Annan's affairs, but he cared! On Annan's side, he has a layout. At this time, as soon as he heard that there was a big war on Annan's side, he immediately contacted the members of the chat group around Annan to carefully understand the situation in Annan.

At this time, Wen Tiren had already been led into the Wenhua Hall by the inner attendant. However, when he saw that the old god of Emperor Chongzhen was there, he understood that the emperor was afraid that he was in the chat group, so he didn't bother, and quietly waited for the emperor to come out of the chat group.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen roughly understood the situation on Annan's side through the chat group.

In fact, in the past, the north and south forces of Annam have been fighting, just before his own imperial expedition to Liaodong, there was a war on the Annam side, and the Zheng clan in the north was defeated, and then the Ruan clan in the south began a large-scale counteroffensive and retaliation after resting for a short period of time, and now, the fight is fierce.

However, judging from the current situation, the Nguyen clan in the south seems to have received the full help of the Francophone people, and the battle situation is quite favorable.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that the Portuguese would be so active in interfering in the affairs of Annan, what is the inside story here? He thought about it for a while, but he didn't understand it, so he didn't think about it again, but contacted his own arrangement, and suddenly his heart moved, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Thinking so, he didn't reply to Min Hongxue immediately, and quit the chat group to think about it, only to find that Wen Tiren was already waiting underneath.

As a result, Wen Tiren was tragic. This time, he didn't have the opportunity to mention Yanzheng, so Emperor Chongzhen spoke first and told him about the rebellion.

At any time, the rebellion is a major event, Wen Tiren heard it, and had to put down the matter of Yanzheng, and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, now that Liaodong has been pacified, Weichen thinks that I have the strength to completely solve the problem of Tusi in the southwest!" “

His words made Emperor Chongzhen stunned a little, he didn't expect Wen Tiren to answer like this, had he thought about it before?

Thinking so, he concentrated his mind and continued to listen to Wen Tiren's explanation: "The Tusi Rebellion in the Southwest, although Governor Zhu led the troops to suppress it, can last for so many years, and the destruction of the southwest can be imagined. In the past, the imperial court actually had more than enough heart and strength for the Tusi rebellion, so it adopted the policy of using Tusi to make Tusi. But in this way, there is not only the benefit of mutual consumption of toast, but also the possibility of expanding toast. The old minister thought that this fame must have increased a lot of strength from it, and the military, political and financial power of the territory was held, and his ambition grew! ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen nodded, Wen Tiren continued: "Therefore, the old minister thinks that it is really a last resort to control raze. The imperial court has the ability to send heavenly soldiers to suppress it to show the power of heaven! ”

Emperor Chongzhen felt very reasonable, and at the same time a little curious, so he asked, "Wen Qing has already planned this?" ”

"Southwest Tusi consumes a lot of energy from the imperial court, so the old minister has to pay attention to it!" Wen Tiren listened and immediately admitted.

Indeed, in the original history, the Ming Dynasty finally perished, did not survive the natural disaster, and finally had three major blood-sucking scourges.

The first is the Liaodong Jianyu, which is the biggest scourge, needless to say.

Second, disaster relief is unfavorable and thieves are rampant, destroying the economic foundation of the Central Plains, which is also a great scourge.

And the third, is the Southwest Tusi Rebellion, starting from the Lu'an Rebellion in the first year of the Apocalypse, until the Shapu Rebellion, which turned the entire southwest of the Ming Dynasty into a mess, so that the financial and military resources here could not be used to suppress the rebellion of the thieves and the Liaodong rebellion.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty was fighting from the northeast to the Central Plains and then to the southwest. Fighting on three sides, this consumes manpower, material and financial resources, no matter how powerful the Ming is, it can't withstand such consumption! Of course, it was precisely because they were not strong enough that these places could not be pacified immediately, and this vicious circle finally sucked the blood of Da Ming dry.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, after listening to Wen Tiren's answer, nodded very approvingly and said: "Yes, I didn't have the spare energy to worry about the southwest toast before, but now I really should sort it out, and the southwest toast policy should also be changed!" ”

Tusi is the emperor of the soil, although the imperial court also has the means to restrain it, but after all, it is limited. The military, political and financial powers in the territory are all controlled by Tusi himself. That is, the land of the Ming Dynasty, how can it endure the country within the country!

However, the Tusi system, after all, has continued the policy of the Yuan Dynasty since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is unrealistic to change it immediately. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wen Tiren: "This matter must be considered in the long run, and Wen Qing will plan first, and write the countermeasures in the chapter for me to see." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "As for this rebellion of general reputation, I have decided to transfer Zhu Xieyuan to the past, and solve it together with the feudal affairs of Annan and King Fu!" ”

This plan is different from the previous plan. Originally, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to transfer Zhu Xieyuan to Guangxi and then plot against Annan. Unexpectedly, the Tusi in southern Yunnan rebelled, so he changed his mind and prepared to transfer Zhu Xieyuan to the governor-general of Guangxi and the military affairs of southern Yunnan.

Min Hongxue, on the other hand, continued to be in charge of the affairs of the Tang Kingdom. After all, King Tang didn't have the ability to really gain a foothold in Dongwu on his own, stabilize the situation and not be counterattacked by the remnants of Dongwu. The matter of Tang Wang's feudal cave is the horse bone of a thousand miles, and there must be no accidents. Otherwise, this side will start to continue the overseas feudalism of the vassal king, and the Tang king will be counterattacked over there, which will inevitably affect the overseas feudal lords of other vassal kings.

Regarding Emperor Chongzhen's plan, after carefully explaining, Wen Tiren immediately seconded it, and even suggested that King Fu's side should also do it. In this way, Zhu Xieyuan's military expenses for mobilizing troops to suppress the rebellion of general reputation can fall on King Fu. Because according to the emperor's plan, this suppression of the reputation of the general and the conquest of Annam, and the change to the blessed country are things that have to be solved together.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and agreed. However, he guessed that King Fu would complain when he saw that the military expenses for suppressing Pu's reputation would be added. But now that the imperial court has solved the problem of Liaodong and the financial situation has been alleviated, he can bargain at that time.

After this was discussed, Emperor Chongzhen gave Zhu Xieyuan an order through the chat group and transferred him to Yunnan to quell the rebellion. At the same time, he told him not to rush to suppress it, just limit the area where it would cause chaos, and then use this to train the troops of King Fu, so that there would be a reason for King Fu to provide military funds, and when the time was ripe, he would settle the rebellion and the matter of Annam in one fell swoop.

Receiving this will, Zhu Xieyuan looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "Are you young? How do you think you are more scheming than the old man! ”

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but smile again, the Ming Dynasty, which has suffered many disasters, suddenly appeared such a "demonic" emperor, which can be regarded as the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!

So, like Wen Tiren of Jingshi, he was busy with this matter, and even the Fu King of Luoyang, after seeing the prince come back to tell Tang Guo what he had seen, he was finally relieved and got busy.

History is almost about to become unrecognizable, and the fate of many people has completely changed!

For example, Li Zicheng, who in the original history, forced Emperor Chongzhen to death and finally lost the newly conquered country to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, has now gone to Siberia at the behest of Emperor Chongzhen, and has already fought with the invaders of Tsarist Russia's eastward expansion.

For Li Zicheng, he was prepared in advance, knew what kind of opponent he would be, and he had studied in the Wubei Hall, with a thousand elites, the kind of Tsarist Russian invading army of hundreds and hundreds, which was not enough to see at all. When encountered, it is either defeated or destroyed, with few exceptions.

To tell the truth, these armies of Tsarist Russia's eastward invasion are actually not the regular army of Tsarist Russia at all, but are composed of all kinds of criminals and outlaws, which is far from the elite drawn out of the system led by Li Zicheng! Winning the battle is deserved, and losing the battle is called weird!

However, Li Zicheng also remembered Emperor Chongzhen's reminder that his biggest enemy was the harsh weather in the north. As for the invading army of Tsarist Russia, after repeated losses, there may also be lessons to be learned. This must also be guarded against.
