"Mu Wangfu is gone! What does it matter what the Ming Dynasty is! ”

"Kill—"

On the second day of the ninth month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, when the Ming Dynasty was busy with a new round of party struggle, as well as the resumption of the Nanyang and other things, the words of the Southwest King Tusi Sha Dingzhou instantly caused the entire Southwest to riot.

Wang Lane Tusi Sha Dingzhou and Ami Prefecture Tuzhi Prefecture Pu Ming rebelled, and each called themselves "General Mansion", and "General Mansion" was the title of the Duke of Qianguo in the past, which showed that they attempted to replace the position of the Duke of Qianguo in the southwest.

In just three days, the two of them spread all over the southeast of Yunnan, west of Guizhou and other large places, southeast Yunnan and west of Guangxi gentry, Haoqiang, Tusi have raised troops, for a time the rebels are more than ten families, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the tiger in the southwest......

It's just that without waiting for Sha Dingzhou, Pu Mingming and other Tusi to rebel, Hong Chengchou in the southwest of Jinglu immediately commanded Ma Xianglin, Mu Yi, Mu Changzuo, and Mu Qiyuan to send 50,000 troops to suppress it, and at the same time called on the rest of the other Tusi who did not respond to the rebellion.

The momentum of the 50,000 Ming army out of Kunming made the originally wavering toasts begin to stand in line.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, Shiping Tusi Long Zaitian, Wei'e Tusi Wang Yangzu, Ningzhou Tusi Lu Yongming, Jingdong Tusi Diao Xun and other eight southern Yunnan Tusi sent 30,000 troops, in response to the Ming Dynasty's policy of changing the land and returning to the stream, and at the same time, they marched east to the north and suppressed the rebellion.

Qin Gongming, the Guangxi commander-in-chief of the Southern Army Governor's Mansion, also personally led three battalions of soldiers and horses to the western part of Guizhou to encircle and suppress the rebellious Tusi.

For a time, the southwest shook, and the 800-mile urgent letters were also sent to the capital one by one.

It's just that when the capital had just received the rebellion of the Tusi in the southwest, Hong Chengchou responded with actual actions to Zhu Youzhen's correct move to arrange for him to pass through the southwest.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, Hong Chengchou did not wait for Long Zaitian and other southern Yunnan Tusi to arrive, so he personally led 50,000 Ming troops to fight with 20,000 soldiers and horses in Maitreya Prefecture, Guangxi Prefecture, Yunnan.

The two armies met at noon on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and an hour later, Hong Chengchou led the vanguard army to the Bapan River in the north of Maitreya Prefecture, and bombarded the Pu Fame camp with 600 Yanshan General cannons.

At the sixth minute of Shen Shi, Pu Ming's camp was broken, Ma Xianglin personally led 3,000 cavalry to charge the battle, and Hong Chengchou ordered the gunners to bombard, and the soldiers and horses under Pu Ming's command, who had not yet formed the formation, suffered heavy casualties.

After two quarters of an hour of short fighting between the two armies, Ma Xianglin beheaded Puming's eldest son, and when the armies saw that Puming's eldest son was killed, they immediately began to rout, and no matter how Puming's order was, it could not be stopped.

Fleeing in the chaos, the rebels trampled on each other, killed and wounded, and Pu Fame was also killed by artillery fire in the formation.

Until dusk, more than 4,000 of the 20,000 rebels were beheaded, and more than 10,000 were captured, and a simple military order from Hong Chengchou made some Tusi who were still wavering firmly stand in line with the Ming Dynasty.

"Owl head! Zhujing Temple——"

"Ahh

With the opening of the generals of the battle front, among the tens of thousands of rebels who were captured, more than 2,000 people of the same clan as Pu were beheaded, and their heads and corpses were built on the left side of the Bapan River and sprinkled with lime.

After that, Hong Chengchou waited for Long Zaitian and other toasts to arrive, and personally took them to this place to watch the Jingguan, and when they saw the Jingguan, they were all frightened, and all the toasts said good things about the Ming Dynasty.

After six days of raising troops, more than 70,000 rebels were defeated in one fell swoop, and more than 20,000 people were defeated.

When this war report arrived in the capital, although the officials in Beijing were busy with party disputes, they still angrily scolded Hong Chengchou for murder.

It's just that the two people who can really decide Hong Chengchou's fate are applauding......

"Good! If a thief dares to rebel, he should stop killing him! ”

In the inner court and the palace of nourishing hearts, when Zhu Youxiao's applause sounded, the person sitting opposite him also picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip:

"Brother still thinks that I put Hong Chengchou in the southwest by mistake?"

Zhu Youzhen's voice appeared, and Zhu Youxiao also looked up at him.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for more than a year, and both have had some changes.

Zhu Youxiao was a little fatter, his skin was still as white as before, and his height was slightly longer, about five feet five inches (1.76).

Compared with Zhu Youxiao, who has stayed in the inner court all the year round, Zhu Youzhen has changed more.

He is six years younger than Zhu Youxiao, but his height is almost as tall as Zhu Youxiao.

He likes to hunt on horses all year round, and his skin is a little dark, but he is very masculine.

He inherited the appearance of his parents, and his facial features were exquisite, so when he and Zhu Youxiao looked at each other, the living note hidden in the corner also deliberately described Zhu Youzhen's appearance.

[The king of Qi is a man, strong and good-looking, good at laughing, broad-minded and receptive, good at military strategy, and the emperor is happy every time he sees him. 】

"Haha, this Hong Chengchou is used correctly, looking at his appearance, I am afraid that there is no need for the imperial court to allocate money and grain, and only the money and grain from Yunnan alone is enough to quell the rebellion."

When the living note official described Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youxiao also closed the military newspaper and responded to Zhu Youzhen with a smile, and Zhu Youzhen also said:

"Hong Chengchou used it correctly, and Sun Chuanting will also use it correctly."

After that, he took another sip of tea, and Zhu Youxiao also smiled lightly when he saw this:

"My brother didn't listen to me this time, so he secretly ran back to the capital."

"How can you use the word "secret" when you go back to your own home?" Zhu Youzhen chuckled, then put down the teacup and said:

"If I don't come back at this time, I will take 30,000 iron horsemen to go on the expedition by the end of the month, and I am afraid that when we meet again, I will go next year."

"Hmm...... Hard work brother. Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhu Youxiao also felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

As the emperor, he only needs to face the words and swords of the court, but his younger brother has to face real swords, guns and halberds, and in terms of danger, he is far inferior to his younger brother.

However, Zhu Youzhen is very happy about this.

"Long live, Your Highness brings the crown prince and the eldest princess to see."

When Zhu Youxiao was feeling guilty, among the five eunuchs standing at the door, Wei Zhongxian deliberately opened his mouth to attract a wave of attention.

Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youxiao both turned their heads to look at him when they heard this, and Zhu Youxiao smiled even more:

"Quick, proclaim! Let the younger brother see his imperial nephew. ”

"Slave and maid take orders......" Wei Zhongxian responded, and then motioned to the little eunuch at the door to invite Zhang Yan in.

Zhang Yan at the door got the signal of the little eunuch, and immediately walked into the Qianqing Hall with the Ke family and Concubine Hui, and then walked into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"The concubine (slave maid) has seen long live......"

Zhang Yan, Fan Huifei and Keshi saluted first, and then walked forward after Zhu Youxiao said flat, and Zhu Youzhen also got up to give up his seat to Zhang Yan, and looked at the two children in Fan Huifei and Ke's arms at the same time.

Since the two children have not yet reached the age of one, they cannot walk yet, so they can only rely on people to hold them.

Zhu Youzhen stepped forward and took a look, to be honest, he didn't have much affection for everyone other than Zhu Youxiao, even if he saw the so-called two imperial nephews, he just thought that the other party was a little cute.

Therefore, after taking a look, he turned to Zhu Youxiao and smiled:

"These two children look a little like my brother."

"Really? I think so too, haha......" Zhu Youxiao smiled heartily, and then raised his hand and signaled:

"Brother can hug them."

"Hmm......" Seeing his brother speak, Zhu Youzhen also took it and hugged him tentatively.

He thought that the two children would cry, but he never thought that he would sleep more peacefully in his arms, especially Zhu Ciran rubbed Zhu Youzhen's chest with his head, muttering with his small mouth, which was very cute.

However, Zhu Youzhen didn't hug them for too long, but took turns hugging them for a while before returning them to Keshi and Fan Huifei, and then said to Zhu Youxiao:

"My brother and my brother will stay in Beijing for half a month when they return to Beijing this time, and they will return to Yanshan Camp after half a month, and then go to Datong to kill the tiger's mouth at the end of the month."

"Well, these days, you come to the inner court a lot to walk around, and you are close to Ran'er and Shu'e." Zhu Youxiao bowed slightly, responded with a smile, and then asked:

"You came in a hurry, I'm afraid you didn't have a meal, so it's better to eat together in the Heart Cultivation Palace."

"No......" Zhu Youzhen shook his head:

"I haven't returned to the capital for a long time, there are some things that need to be done, so let's come back tomorrow to bother my brother."

"Uh...... Yes. Seeing that Zhu Youzhen refused to eat, Zhu Youxiao was a little discouraged, and Zhu Youzhen also bowed afterwards and left with Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian, and Liu Ruoyu followed closely and sent Zhu Youxiao out of the inner court for Zhu Youxiao.

The five eunuchs of the powerful court followed Zhu Youzhen, and they didn't dare to breathe, especially Wei Zhongxian, who was afraid of offending His Royal Highness the naturally noble King of Qi.

The group walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and he didn't look at Wei Zhongxian and the others until Zhu You checked the elephant wheel.

Looking at the elephant chariot that was gradually moving away, Wei Zhongxian and the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief, and above the elephant chariot, Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, who were driving for Zhu Youzhen, also asked:

"Your Highness, are you returning to the Imperial Palace?"

"No......" Zhu Youzhen lowered his eyes and said softly: "Go to the edict ......"

The two of them felt a pang in their hearts, knowing that Zhu Youzhen was going to see Yang Lian, so the atmosphere became heavy.

When the elephant came to Xihua Gate, Zhu Youzhen changed to a carriage, and outside Xihua Gate, Lu Wenzhao had already led three hundred horsemen to wait for a long time.

When the carriage drove out, Lu Wenzhao immediately took the cavalry to open the way for it, and the arch guard Zhu Youzhen went to the Imperial Prison.

After coming out of Xihua Gate and making a detour for a quarter of an hour, Zhu Youzhen and the others came to West Chang'an Street.

When he arrived here, Zhu Youzhen deliberately opened the window of the four-wheeled carriage and took a look at the fireworks in Beijing.

Although there are basically few peddlers and pawns in the inner city, compared with a year and a half ago, West Chang'an Avenue now looks much more prosperous, but it is still dirty.

Ti rode the yellow horse at a gallop, causing the dust to be full of Qumo, and the pedestrians returned and dismounted, the nostrils were as black as smoke, and the people and horses were covered with sand.

The sandstorms in Beijing were even more manic in the Ming Dynasty, when the temperature plummeted and the air moisture dropped.

There are 19 sandstorms in the first month of the year, 36 in February, 35 in March, 20 in April, and 20 in May and June......

In short, as of today, if Zhu Youzhen is not mistaken, there are one hundred and twenty-one sandstorms recorded by Qin Tianjian.

Such a harsh environment leads to the bitterness of the well water, and a little sweet well can be praised by many literati.

Such an environment and climate, to be honest, make Zhu Youzhen very unaccustomed to living.

If he wants to become a vassal in the future, I am afraid that he will also choose a place with a pleasant climate and warmth.

"You broken skin, dare you try it! You hit me! Hit me! If you don't beat me, I look down on you, this broken skin, and if you do, I will leave you and give me silver! ”

The carriage was walking, Zhu Youzhen suddenly heard the sound of someone arguing, he turned his head to look, and saw a woman in the capital constantly scratching the man in front of him, and asked the other party to beat him.

With such a shrewd appearance, Zhu Youzhen, who was watching it, frowned, and Lu Wenzhao, who was riding a horse next to him, shook his head when he saw this and said:

"People say that there are five bad things about the women of Jingshi: gluttony, laziness, trickiness, lewdness, and clumsiness. Yu saw that the eunuchs from all over the world took the Beijing master and daughter as concubines, and they all ran out of money axes to provide for their stomachs, and their spirits were fulfilled to fulfill their desires......"

"I have been in Beijing for ten years, and I have a deep understanding that this inner city is still good, but when you go to the women in Beijing in the outer city, it is called a difficult one."

The image of the women in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was very bad, whether in the official history or the wild history, or in the oral miscellaneous records of the literati, and Zhu Youzhen also knew it, but he didn't expect that the women in the capital of the Ming Dynasty actually knew how to pay for breakup and divorce.

"It's also a kind of humanistic style......

Zhu Youzhen sighed, and then closed the window stupidly, looking out of the blurry window through the glass of the car window.

It's just that before he could see anything different, the carriage came to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Zhu Youzhen also asked:

"These five armies are all in the Governor's Mansion, who is doing things in it right now?"

"Back to Your Highness......" Lu Wenzhao responded:

"Since Xungui withdrew, there are only the eight battalions and the four cavalry guards in the capital city of Shangzhizhong."

"......" Hearing Lu Wenzhao's words, Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment.

At the beginning of the construction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were built entirely on the volume of six departments, who would have thought that the two of them had built the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in Beijing for less than 30 years, and Wuxun would be completely degenerate......

"It's a pity to leave such a good place to Xungui."

Zhu Youzhen sighed, and then motioned for the carriage to continue walking.

And because behind the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was the Jinyi Guard, so it didn't take too long for the carriage to send Zhu Youzhen to the gate of the Imperial Prison.

After getting off the carriage, he was seen by the hundreds of horsemen at the gate of the edict, and all the horsemen were shocked, and then bowed down one after another: "King Qi Chitose, Chitose ......"

"Get up...... Zhu Youzhen confessed, but his eyes kept staring at the plaque of the edict.

At this time, Cui Yingyuan and Li Ruolian from the Jinyi Guard Yamen also rushed over with a large number of officials, such as Xu Xianchun, Wu Mengming, Yang Huan, Wei Zhao, Hou Guoxing and others arrived one after another.

However, at this moment, they have lost their former majesty, especially Hou Guoxing, Hou Keguang, Wei Zhao, Yang Huan and other people close to Wei Zhongxian, who lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

For them, Zhu Youzhen glanced at them, and just explained:

"You stay here, Huachun and the three of you will accompany me in."

"Yes......" A group of people responded, and Zhu Youzhen also took Lu Wenzhao and the three into the edict.

Under the guidance of Lu Wenzhao, they went underground, and then Zhu Youzhen met Wan Yanyang, who had impeached him, and a group of familiar Donglin officials.

It's just that at this time, they are extremely miserable, the once simple Taoist robes have been beaten to tatters, and scorched marks can be seen in some places.

Now they can't do it, let alone scolding Zhu Youzhen, even if they look up at him.

However, Zhu Youzhen didn't care about them, but just said: "Don't get killed"

The reason why he asked people not to kill these guys was not because of his virgin heart, but because he still needed to use these guys for waste.

Southwest, Indochina Peninsula, Nanyang ......

There are many local women and men in these places, and they must be educated by the culture of the Ming Dynasty.

Donglin's speech officials, not to mention anything else, can be said to be unique in the world in brainwashing.

Although Qian Qianyi, who didn't see the water being too cold, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the disciples he taught could be said to have been washed by him......

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen was a little surprised.

Not only Donglin, but also other rotten Confucians in the future will be sent to Nanyang and the Indochina Peninsula by Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youzhen didn't worry about them brainwashing their disciples to turn against him, to put it bluntly, they who were thrown to the ground, even if they would turn against themselves, they would not oppose the court.

As long as they don't oppose the imperial court, this group of corrupt Confucians is a free teacher.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen's pace was much brisker, and when he came to the last and innermost cell of the Imperial Prison, he also saw Yang Lian sitting in the cell, reading with a palm-sized light.

I have to say that Yang Lian, who has a relationship with him, is doing well in the cell.

"Tables, dishes, books...... I think you're having a good time here......"

The cell door opened, and Zhu Youzhen's voice sounded, which also made Yang Lian, who was reading a book, look up suddenly.

He looked at Zhu Youzhen in a daze, while Zhu Youzhen, who was dressed in a cyan robe, stepped forward, picked up the wine jug on the low table and sniffed it.

"This taste, it's the lotus stamen of the Imperial Wine Workshop......" Zhu Youzhen said the name of the wine, then put the wine on the low table, looked down at Yang Lian and said:

"Let's go......"

"Where are you going?" Yang Lian closed the book and got up slowly.

"Take you out and let you go back to your hometown in Huguang." Zhu Youzhen looked at Yang Lian's appearance and shook his head for a while.

"In my opinion, the old man should continue to stay......"

I never thought that Yang Lian heard Zhu Youzhen's words, sat down again, and then leaned on the thatch casually, reading a book in the dim cell, and muttered in his mouth:

"Even if you let me out and go back to Huguang, I still want to impeach Wei Zhongxian and impeach Cui Chengxiu, rather than being arrested by Jinyiwei from Huguang back to the capital at that time, it is better to stay here directly."

"Why are you doing this? Your wife and five children are waiting for you at home, so why bother with him? Zhu Youzhen frowned.

"If I pass, how can I be worthy of the advice that the first emperor told me before his departure?" Yang Lian put down the book in his hand and looked at the ceiling of the cell.

"......" Listening to Yang Lian's words, Zhu Youzhen only felt speechless for a while, and he didn't know that he thought that his cheap dad had given Yang Lian any benefits, but in fact, Zhu Changluo said "This is really loyal."

Just four words bought people's hearts, and he didn't even have an official position, which can be called the largest PUA in the early seventeenth century, which made Zhu Youzhen feel speechless when he heard it.

"If you are an official, you also want to be impeached?" Zhu Youzhen pinched the mountain root and felt a headache.

After all, he is a human being, and after getting along with Yang Lian for so many years, he is naturally reluctant to die.

"Natural ......" Yang Lian was still stubborn, and Zhu Youzhen could only sigh:

"If it is according to the will of the imperial brother, I am afraid that you will all be sent to Yunnan, I can arrange for you to go to Dali, where the scenery is good, do you need me to take your family over?"

"Well, why let them suffer with me?" Yang Lian shook his head, and Zhu Youzhen felt even more speechless.

That place is Dali, okay?! Hearing Yang Lian's words, Zhu Youzhen clenched his fists.

Cangshan and Erhai Lake, wind and snow......

In addition, it has been developed since the Han Dynasty, Dali can be said to be one of the most livable places in the cities of Yunnan at present, that is, he Zhu Youzhen failed to take a look in his previous life, and now let Yang Lian go over for a vacation and retirement, Yang Lian still has a loss on his face?

"Since you don't need me to take care of you, then I can only wish you a smooth journey."

After that, Zhu Youzhen turned around and was about to leave, but at this time, Yang Lian suddenly got up and said with a shabby face:

"If you are idle, my wife owes some money to the local government for the fourth and fifth sons because of their studies, you can help me pay it back, and when I go to Yunnan, I will work during the day and farm at night to pay you back."

"If you don't want to help, let Zhizhi (Zuo Guangdou) help me pay it back, thank you......"

"The Burrow is not as ugly as you!" Listening to Yang Lian's words, Zhu Youzhen scolded, and then he could only turn his head to Lu Wenzhao, who was smiling at the prison door, and ordered:

"Let people pay five hundred taels from the Miaoqin Palace and send them to Huguangyangdu's home in the matter."

"Yes......" Lu Wenzhao responded with a smile.

"It doesn't take that much!" Yang Lian grabbed the cell door and shouted at Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen also said irritably:

"More is the pen fee!"

"Then I'll leave you a sticker......" Yang Lian was still shouting, but Zhu Youzhen quickened his pace and walked out of the edict.

The moment he walked out of the edict, he turned to look at Lu Wenzhao and the others, only to find that all three of them were holding back a smile.

In this regard, Zhu You didn't even want to say anything.

However, just when he felt speechless, when he turned around, he saw Lu Xiu walking with a document.

Apparently he had been waiting outside the edict for a long time, and the matter at hand was also very important.

"What?" Zhu Youjian asked, and Lu Xiu also shook his head to indicate that he couldn't speak, and then handed over the Chinese book.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen, he knew the importance of the matter.

The document is printed with the words "Navy Governor's Office", and the first-class seal represents its degree of secrecy.

Zhu Youzhen immediately took it and opened it, and then saw Huang Long's handwriting.

The content of the letter is not many words, but it all reveals a message.

The Battle for the Restoration of the South Seas can begin......

Folding the handbook, Zhu Youzhen immediately said:

"You write a copy for me and tell Huang Long to set off on the same day, no matter how long or how far he fights, it will be up to him to decide."

"In addition, I ordered people to expedite 800 li, and ordered Wang An in Nanchang to raise food and increase the migration of the people of Ryukyu Prefecture."

"On the grain side, I will go to the imperial brother and ask the imperial brother to allocate silver taels from the household department and the internal treasury, and buy grain from Siam to support the migration to Nanyang."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were cold:

"In this battle, we must completely fight the national prestige of my Ming Dynasty since the Xuande period, which has been sluggish in Nanyang for more than 200 years!"
