With the fall of Muwangfu, which had dominated Yunnan for two or three hundred years, the Ming army of the imperial court fully took over Yunnan Mansion and Kunming City.

Qin Zhan knew Fang Yuan's temper very well, and would never allow the rebels to harass the Mu Wangfu, so he immediately ordered the sergeants to surround the Mu Wangfu and take care of the Mu family in the mansion.

As for whether to copy the wealth that Mu Wangfu has accumulated for two or three hundred years. There are at least 3,000 people surnamed Mu, what should be done. Qin Zhan couldn't be the master, so he could only hand it over to Fang Yuan.

Five days later, Fang Yuan's Chinese army finally arrived at Kunming City and led his troops into the city.

Qin Zhan had already cleaned up a Mu family's mansion in Kunming City and welcomed Fang Yuan's entry.

After Fang Yuan settled in, he asked Qin Zhan about the situation of Mu Wangfu, and Qin Zhan hurriedly reported to him, and had already sent troops to surround Mu Wangfu, waiting for it to be settled. asked if the rebels had harassed the family members of Mu Wangfu, Qin Zhan denied it repeatedly, and repeatedly assured that no one from the Ming army would enter Mu Wangfu.

Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and ordered Qin Zhan to go to Mu Wang's Mansion the next day to spread the word, and asked Mu Tianbo not to resist stubbornly anymore and go out of the mansion to speak.

He didn't know that Mu Tianbo didn't return to Mu Wangfu after the defeat, but went directly to Burma.

Mu Tianbo's son Mu Zhonghan surrendered on behalf of Mu Wangfu, and Qin Zhan hurriedly ordered the sergeant to look at Mu Zhonghan, as well as Mu Tianbo's wife, concubine, and other sons and daughters, and came to Fang Yuan's official residence together.

Fang Yuan sat on the top of the hall, looked at Mu Zhonghan who was dejected, and a few other female relatives who were trembling with fright, and asked, "Mu Shizi, Mu Tianbo is not in Mu Wangfu, where did he go?!" ”

Although Mu Zhonghan was angry at Fang Yuan, who had destroyed the foundation of Mu Wangfu for hundreds of years, he knew that with Mu Tianbo's defeat, Mu Wangfu was now a man-made sword and I was a fish and meat, and as the eldest son of the Duke of Qianguo, he had to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of Mu Wangfu. Indiscriminate and Fang Yuan's stubbornness is definitely the most stupid behavior.

Mu Zhonghan replied truthfully, "Lord Regent, my father told the guilty ministers before he went on the expedition that if he didn't return to the palace of King Mu, he would go to Burma to move the rescue troops." The criminal reckon estimated that his father should have gone to Burma. ”

Fang Yuan nodded, Mu Wangfu has been dealing with the Burmese State for more than two hundred years, and they are all old acquaintances, and the relationship is bound to be not bad. Historically, Yunnan fell, and Mu Tianbo also protected the Yongli Emperor to take refuge in Burma.

Mu Tianbo fled to Burma, and if the Burmese king is willing to form an alliance with Mu Tianbo and be ready to counterattack Yunnan at any time, it is a tricky matter. Fang Yuan didn't know anything about the situation in Burma, since Mu Wangfu and the Burmese King were familiar with each other, it was better to ask Mu Zhonghan what kind of strength the Burmese King had.

Fang Yuan asked again, "How many soldiers and horses does the King of Burma have?!" How is the combat power compared to the Mu Palace? ”

Mu Zhonghan still answered honestly, "Regent, there are about 150,000 soldiers and horses in Myanmar, no matter the quality of armaments and soldiers, it is not as good as Mu Wangfu's, and the combat power is not enough to fear." The only thing to be afraid of is that the king of Burma has an elephant army of 20,000 men and 100 war elephants. ”

Based on Fang Yuan's judgment, Mu Zhonghan said the military strength of Myanmar in such detail, neither exaggerating nor belittling, but also pointed out the elite of the Burmese army, like the army of soldiers, which shows that Mu Zhonghan did not hide it at all.

Fang Yuan was quite satisfied with his deference, and continued to ask, "Mu Shizi, this war in Yunnan was because Mu Tianbo wanted to divide Yunnan and resist the edict of the imperial court, so I led the army of the Son of Heaven to conquer here. Now that the rebellion has been quelled, Mu Wangfu pleads guilty or not?! ”

Mu Zhonghan lowered his gaze and said, "Regent, Mu Wangfu has guarded Yunnan for two or three hundred years, and he has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, which is really meritorious, but he was transferred by the imperial court for no reason, and my father is indeed dissatisfied." However, the guilty minister believes that the king wants the minister to die and the minister has to die, since the court has an edict, no matter how dissatisfied the Mu Wangfu is, he should also act in accordance with the holy decree. The criminal minister also persuaded his father, but his father was deceived by the traitor and could not listen to the advice of the contrary, which led to today's military disaster. ”

"Mu Wangfu is not kind to the people of Yunnan, but the people of Yunnan have suffered from the war, Mu Wangfu is guilty, please punish the regent."

Mu Wangfu, after all, has maintained stability in Yunnan for two or three hundred years for the Ming Dynasty. Mu Tianbo, after all, in history to protect the Yongli Emperor, died in Burma, although he has selfish ambitions, but the festival is not a loss. Mu Zhonghan, in order to protect the safety of his family, admits punishment and filial piety.

From any point of view, there was no need for Fang Yuan to be too embarrassed by the Mu Palace, who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty in history and fought to the last moment.

Fang Yuan was silent in thought, secretly thinking about the placement of King Mu's Mansion.

Muwangfu has taken root in Yunnan for two or three hundred years and is deeply rooted. The Mu clan must move out of Yunnan and resettle separately, otherwise, as soon as the imperial army withdraws, the Mu family will still be the overlord of Yunnan.

As for gold, silver, jewelry, and land, Fang Yuan had no special habit of accumulating money, as long as he could make up for the military expenses of this expedition, the rewards of the soldiers, and the death pension.

Fang Yuan was pondering, Mu Zhonghan, and the Mu family's family members also held their breath, waiting for Fang Yuan's final disposition, whether it was life or death, it was all in Fang Yuan's thoughts.

After a long time, Fang Yuan looked up at Mu Zhonghan and asked slowly, "Mu Wangfu has been in Yunnan for two or three hundred years, how much silver, how much land, and how much jewelry?" ”

Mu Zhonghan took out a scroll from his arms and handed it over respectfully, "Regent, this is the amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and land in King Mu's mansion, I have already prepared it when I leave the mansion, please take a look at it." ”

Fang Yuan took the scroll and flipped through it roughly, there were a total of 5,683,900 taels of silver in the treasury of King Mu's mansion, a total of 130,000 mu of land in various provinces in Yunnan, and countless kinds of imperial court rewards, jewels sent from Burma, Annam, Siam and other countries.

Fang Yuan had another bumper harvest this time, and he returned with a full load, and said in a deep voice, "There is a lot of money and silver in King Mu's Mansion!" Just to transport it out of Yunnan, it takes hundreds of taels of ox carts! No wonder he is reluctant to accept the dispatch of the imperial court, hehe! ”

Mu Zhonghan said respectfully, "Gold, silver, land, and jewelry are all things outside the body, since the regent has won, these are all the regent's spoils." The criminal minister only begged the regent to open the net and save the lives of the people in the Mu Palace, and the criminal minister was not very grateful! ”

Fang Yuan put down the scroll, looked at Mu Zhonghan, who was polite and committed to protecting his family, and said with a slight smile, "Mu Wangfu, the pillar of optimus in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, has guarded Yunnan for two or three hundred years, and has contributed to the country. Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, was consumed by his desire for profit for a while, and he made some mistakes. His Majesty the Lone King led the heavenly soldiers here, not for the expedition, but to alert the Mu Palace. Fortunately, Mu Zhonghan, the prince of Mu Wangfu, set things right and led the crowd to return to the Ming Dynasty. Although Mu Wangfu made mistakes in this battle, it was always flawed. ”

"The lonely king allowed Mu Wangfu to make a confession and ordered Mu Shizi to repair two letters. One letter was sent to the 30,000 Yunnan army sergeants stationed in Baishijiang Tianwei, who led the army back to Kunming City to surrender; One was sent to Myanmar and handed over to Mu Tianbo, persuading Mu Tianbo to return to the Ming Dynasty and accept punishment under national law. ”

"Half of the silver, fields, and jewels of King Mu's mansion were confiscated as punishment. All the people of the Mu clan moved to Jiangxi to settle down. The title of the Duke of Qianguo was changed to the Duke of Ganguo. ”

Fang Yuan's disposal conditions this time can be said to be quite lenient for the crime of gathering crowds to make chaos in Mu Wangfu, and even wanting to pull up the alliance of six provinces against the imperial court.

The Ming army not only did not commit adultery and plunder, but protected the Mu family from being violated. He also returned half of the silver, land, and jewelry for the livelihood of the Mu clan, and even retained the duke title of Mu Wangfu.

The only excessive condition is to move the Mu clan people out of Yunnan and go to Jiangxi. However, the Mu family's power in Yunnan is intertwined, and it is unusual for the imperial court to transfer the Mu family out of Yunnan.

Being able to keep Mu Wangfu is Mu Zhonghan's biggest bottom line, and now Fang Yuan's generosity is far beyond his bottom line, what else can he say?

Mu Zhonghan knelt down respectfully at Fang Yuan and saluted, "Sinner, thank the regent for the heavenly grace of the rebirth for the families of King Mu's mansion!" ”
