Fill Sichuan with Huguang and fill Mekong with coastal immigrants. Due to the large decrease in the population during the war, Zhu Yongxing could only adopt the method of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, and moved the people in the enemy's war zone to his own ruling area, so as to become a part of the contribution to the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

The immigrants in Mekong Province do not need to be considered by him for the time being, the rumors of coastal border relocation have been released, coupled with the tyrannical rule of the Qing court, and with the help and response of the coastal anti-Qing armed forces, many people in the coastal areas will wait for an opportunity to flee, and there will be an uprising led by fisherman Zhou Yu in the future.

The key point is that the manpower of Yunnan Province is not sufficient, and the people are also apprehensive and resistant to the migration from the already relatively stable places to the newly occupied places. Even the Tusi of Yunnan Province were reluctant to go to Sichuan to spread their branches, preferring to seize land abroad under the protection of the Ming army.

In particular, the joint forces under the Annam Metropolitan Envoy's Office, due to the strong family background of the various Annam Metropolitan Envoys, have surpassed the Ming army in terms of the speed of equipping them with new weapons. On the one hand, Zhu Yongxing needed to turn their attention abroad, and on the other hand, he also needed their force to deter the Zheng clan in Annan, and on the other hand, he needed to sell arms at high prices and make money from them to equip the Ming army.

For every two flintlock muskets equipped, the Ming army could earn one from them; Each is armed with three to four guns. Then the Ming army can add one more door.

After being equipped and strengthened, many retired veterans and officers of the Ming army were hired into the coalition forces, which also improved the command ability of the army. The impulse and attempt to expand abroad were even stronger, and Zhu Yongxing finally relented after weighing it. The coalition forces were allowed to use troops against Nanzhang, and set a limited target for the time being. At the same time, Zhu Yongxing asked the coalition forces to treat the people in the occupied areas as well as possible, and prepared to migrate some Liao and barbarians to Sichuan, so as to temporarily solve the problem of population shortage in Sichuan.

Fifty-eight nationalities are obviously not enough, and now there are two more ethnic groups in China, the Vietnamese and the Khmer, and soon there will be Lao people who will become the record on the household register. In the future, occupy people, well. When the Champa State completes its historical mission, it will also become a part of the attached China.

The sun is nice, but you don't need sunglasses to block the sun yet. Zhu Yongxing didn't look too unusual, but Yang Guoxiang never took off his sunglasses, and checked in front of and behind the team, which was a bit like a security guard in the future.

When the messenger of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, arrived, Zhu Yongxing learned about the matter and hurriedly sent people to look for him along the road. I didn't wait for the people sent to come back and report the news. The officials of Yuanjiang City found Li Dingguo and his party on the docked merchant ship and hurriedly sent sailors to escort them. And let people send news quickly.

Today should be the time when Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, arrived in Mengzi, and received a report from the urgent horse, Zhu Yongxing led the officials to welcome him out of the city. can roughly guess the purpose of Li Dingguo's trip, Zhu Yongxing first gave face to the king of Zujin, who let himself change the strategy of entering Sichuan, and his doubts about Li Dingguo are obvious. Moreover. The Ming army had just shown the appearance of sincere unity at this time, and Zhu Yongxing did not want to change easily. After all, Li Dingguo was the actual commander of the Great Western Army, and his influence in the army was still very great.

"What do you keep dangling in front of me?" Zhu Yongxing was sitting well, but the black tower-like Nina servant always covered his sight.

"Protect Your Highness!" Nina replied as a matter of course, with an innocent look.

Zhu Yongxing rolled his eyes helplessly. Reaching out and nodding, he motioned for him to stand next to him. This guy looks like a fool, but from the fact that he can crouch in the digging pit and wait for most of the day, just to be able to attack and kill the enemy, it is not like it.

Nina stood obediently beside Zhu Yongxing, and looked around from time to time.

"Have you decided on your family?" Zhu Yongxing was bored waiting, so he asked casually.

"Back to Your Highness, it's settled, and you will get married next month." Nina Servant showed a happy expression and said, "It's a girl from the Han family, I also want to change a nice name, and ask Your Highness to give you one." ”

"What does it have to do with getting married and changing your name?" Zhu Yongxing asked a little strangely.

"I'm not a Yi person, I'm a Han person, of course I have to change the name of the Han people." Zhu Yongxing was very confused by the reason given by the Nina servant, so he asked the Nina servant to explain.

It turned out that in the Yi society, it was divided into the slave owner class and the slave class! The slave owner class was divided into two types: Zimo and Nuohe, of which Zimo was the hereditary Tusi canonized by the central government, and Nuohe was the self-styled nobleman of the Yi people. These two are also known collectively as the Black Yi, and they are hereditary Yi nobles, and even if the family is in ruins and declines, they still have a high status.

The slave class was divided into three types: Qunuo, Aga and Xiaxi, also known as Bai Yi. Among them, Qu Nuo has the highest status, although the personal rights belong to the slave owners, but they have their own land, and the slave owners have to buy and sell and abuse them at will. Qu Nuo is mostly from the Yi ethnic group, or has been a family slave for several generations, but his background is relatively low.

In addition to Qu Nuo, the other two kinds of Bai Yi are miserable. Aga, also known as Wazi in Chinese, is mostly a foreign ethnic group that has been captive for a long time, such as Han, Tibetan, Miao, etc. These people have no power or property, and they do all kinds of hard work in the fields and at home all year round, but the master does not care about their food and clothing. Ajro, who lives near his master, will be killed if he leaves the area. Aga is often bought and sold by his master, and his life safety is not guaranteed. If the other Black Yi kills the other Black Yi's Agha, all you need to do is accompany some money!

As for Xiaxi, it was even worse, there were quite a few of them, most of them were foreigners who had just been captured. These people are like animals, they usually do the hardest and dirtiest work, and they do not have a moment to rest. Bai Yi can buy, sell, abuse and kill at will, as long as the master looks unpleasant or is in a bad mood, he can kill him at will. The family doesn't bother at all.

The Yi people have a very clear distinction between white Yi and black Yi, and Bai Yi have been slaves for generations and cannot be exalted forever. I can't have any kinship with Hei Yi! In addition to the above, slavery is also characterized by robbery and plunder.

According to Nina's servant, in fact, he guessed that his mother should be a Han girl who was plundered by the Yi people. He died shortly after giving birth to him. He was raised by an Ajia, and now he is going to recognize his ancestors and return to his Han nationality.

From the words of Nina's servants, Zhu Yongxing heard that he hated the current slavery system of the Yi people, remembered the discrimination and abuse he had suffered, and was very sympathetic to Aga and Xiaxi, who were similar to him.

"You want those Aga and Gazy to have a good life too?" Zhu Yongxing pondered for a while, and had some thoughts in his heart, so he asked, "But do they think so?" Maybe they're used to it? ”

The servant shook his head like a drum and said, "No." No, no one is a fool. Stupid brains like me know that they sacrifice their lives to make a good profit in the future, they are just watched closely and have no chance. ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled and nodded, this is not difficult to understand, who would be willing to be enslaved and oppressed, but there is no chance. There's no one to guide you. Moreover, the situation of the Yi people in different regions is not the same. Some were in slavery, some were semi-slave and semi-feudal, and some had transitioned to feudal lordship.

The changes in the system have a great deal to do with the development of the productive forces of the Yi nationality in various regions. The more backward the productive Yi tribe, the stricter the slavery system, because it was impossible to make a living by slash-and-burn cultivation alone. Slaves and property need to be obtained through robbery to survive!

"Changing your name and changing your nationality will be put aside first, there is nothing wrong with being a Yi ethnic group, maybe it will be more beneficial to you." Zhu Yongxing raised his hand to stop the words that Nina's servant wanted to justify, and continued: "Wait for me to think about it. I'll give you another answer. ”

Greet, feast, and rejoice...... These are all forms, and Zhu Yongxing and Li Dingguo are well aware of this. But Zhu Yongxing's courtesy still made Li Dingguo feel a little calmer. When the banquet is over, the two sit together to drink tea and talk, which can be regarded as returning to the topic.

"A swarm of flies buzzed, a few poignant, a few sobs. I don't care, and the prince doesn't have to care. Zhu Yongxing was obviously contemptuous and disdainful of the current rumors caused by some frustrated civil officials, and responded to Li Dingguo's side attack, "I said: Except for traitors' remarks, do not scold people with words. Some people are selfish and talk about thousands of words, but none of them can serve the country, what is the use of asking for them? ”

"His Highness is magnanimous and admirable." Li Dingguo saw that Zhu Yongxing didn't care, and he didn't mean to ask for guilt, so he was in a much more relaxed mood, and asked about entering Sichuan again.

Zhu Yongxing was also prepared for this, first frankly admitting the idea of letting Liu Zhen enter Sichuan in the name of a pioneer officer, and then talked about the thirteen families in Kuidong, explaining the balance of letting Li Dingguo postpone his entry into Shu.

It is reasonable that even though Zhu Yongxing's arrangement made Li Dingguo a little dissatisfied, he had to admit that such an arrangement was the most correct.

"If the king of Jin is anxious, he can lead his army to station in Jianchang first, where there are a lot of toasts, and he needs a person with good reputation and ability like the prince to be deterred and subdued." Zhu Yongxing made a slight adaptation, which can be regarded as a comfort to Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Your Highness, you frequently use troops in foreign countries, do you want to give up the great cause of Zhongxing and call yourself the king overseas?" ”

Zhu Yongxing pondered for a while, now it is not the same as before, now he has a way out, and he does have the idea of retreating overseas if he can't do anything.

Seeing that Zhu Yongxing did not answer, Li Dingguo hurriedly advised: "The ancients said: It is better to die than to retreat an inch. The husband is a drama, it is only a legend, how can there really be a king of Buyeo? His Royal Highness has the resources to do, and it is worth the momentum, when the anger is strong, the sun and the moon will be quiet and the sight will be restored, and the mountains and rivers will be destroyed and restored......"

Speaking of which, I am still worried that I will be distracted and focus on overseas and less at home, but it is not explained what will happen if Yongli and the small court deprive me of my power? Zhu Yongxing listened to Li Dingguo's advice, and was slightly disappointed in his heart.
