Chapter 230: Return to Datong Mansion
After resolving the mutiny, Zhu Gui sent another 200 men to repair the palace.
During this period, Zhu Jixi, the son of the King of Jin, has never left Zhu Gui's side, asking questions from east to west.
From the very beginning of the Shenwu cannon, he kept asking about Zhu Gui's personal guards, and finally asked about Yunzhou.
Before that, Zhu Jixi did not believe that Datong Mansion could be compared with Taiyuan.
But he knew that Zhu Gui had been a vassal king for half a year.
At the same time, after seeing Zhu Gui's methods, he also had reason to believe that Datong Mansion was different from the past.
So in the end, he actually put forward the idea of wanting to go to Yunzhou with Zhu Gui to have a look.
In his words, it is 'only after seeing how Uncle Wang governed Datong Mansion that he can better assume his responsibilities as the king of Jin'.
Zhu Jixi's words successfully persuaded Zhu Gui, after all, after the former became the king of Jin, he couldn't leave Taiyuan casually.
And after seeing the situation in Datong Mansion, Zhu Jixi will naturally recognize Zhu Gui's concept more, which is also good for Zhu Gui.
After all, no matter how much you say, it's better to see it with your own eyes.
"By the way, Uncle Wang, are you really ready to let those rebels go? They've committed a felony crime. ”
Zhu Jixi suddenly asked about the rebels.
Zhu Gui sighed and said: "As Jiao Rui said, most of them are coerced, the real reason may indeed be related to military salaries, if everyone can fill their stomachs, no one wants to rebel." ”
Zhu Jixi nodded as if he didn't understand, and seemed to understand Zhu Gui's approach.
And Zhu Gui was also a little depressed, he came to Taiyuan this time, originally wanting to take advantage of the death of King Jin and take over his guards to supplement his own guards.
But the plan couldn't catch up with the change, so he first decided to nominate the prince Zhu Jixi to succeed as the king of Jin, so that he couldn't take these guards away.
Then these guards mutinied again, and I don't know how many of these guards of the King of Jin will be left after this incident.
However, fortunately, Zhu Jixi is still young, and even if he really succeeds in inheriting the throne of King Jin in the end, the quota of the guard army is likely to be the same as Zhu Gui's original and will not be filled.
After all, with Datong Mansion in front, Taiyuan is not so dangerous.
In this way, two more days passed, and the situation in Taiyuan City finally returned to calm.
It's just that the situation on the streets is no longer as good as before, there are more than half fewer pedestrians, and everyone has a look of fear on their faces, and it seems that they have not yet come out of the shadow of the rebels.
And Zhu Gui also decided to suppress the mutiny and not report it to the imperial court, so that the imperial court could not send someone to investigate the matter.
Otherwise, I don't know how many more people will be implicated.
Taiyuan County Shou Liao Qinghai, as well as the princess of Jin and the prince Zhu Jixi, all agreed to Zhu Gui's approach.
It's just that everyone is a little worried about whether this matter can really be concealed forever and for how long.
Only Zhu Gui didn't think so, anyway, as long as Zhu Yunwen ascended to the throne and began to cut the domain, the matter would be considered over.
And the holy decree he sent to the imperial court only mentioned some chaos in Taiyuan, and he took the opportunity to propose that he wanted the prince Zhu Jixi to take over as the king of Jin.
At the same time, although the power of the three major families has suffered some losses, the foundation has not been damaged, and after this incident, the respect of the three families for Zhu Gui has reached an unprecedented height, and they have offered half of their family property.
Zhu Gui did not refuse, but he sent all these belongings to the Jin Palace.
This made Princess Xie of Jin couldn't help but look at Zhu Gui twice.
And Zhu Gui also explained the reason, that is, the money was used to pay the guards after the prince Zhu Jixi succeeded him as the king of Jin.
At the same time, he also reminded Zhu Jixi that there was no need to maintain the escort army to the full number of people, which would only increase the burden.
After the mutiny, Zhu Guifa ruthlessly dealt with more than 5,000 rebels who participated in the burning and looting in the city, plus some dead and wounded, the existing Jin King's guard army was only more than 20,000 people.
Although it is one-third less than the full number of 30,000 people, this is still a very large scale, and the military salaries of these people are all provided by the Jin Palace, and the imperial court will not spend a penny.
Even if Zhu Jixi succeeded the King of Jin, and at the same time, the major forces in Taiyuan City were willing to cooperate with the Jin Wangfu as before, but it was really not necessary to maintain such a large-scale escort army.
Zhu Jixi agreed, but this matter could only be reported to the court after he became the king of Jin.
After Zhu Gui dealt with this, he returned to Datong Mansion with a thousand troops.
It's just that compared to when he came, he had three fewer guards, but there were four more people with him, naturally there were three people in Gongsun Ming, and at the same time, the prince Zhu Jixi also followed.
After a day, Zhu Gui finally returned to Datong Mansion.
But it was already night.
Zhu Jixi was also tired and fell asleep in the carriage.
However, Zhu Gui still held a banquet for Gongsun Ming and the three of them in the Daiwang Mansion to catch the wind and wash the dust for them.
The three of them were also very happy.
Early the next morning, Gongsun Ming and the others left the palace and went to wander the streets.
Zhu Gui didn't care about them, he still had a lot of things to deal with.
But as soon as he came to the study, Zhu Jixi ran over, and he was going out for a walk.
Fortunately, Xu Miaoqing rescued the scene in time and left with Zhu Jixi.
This gave Zhu Gui time to deal with political affairs.
Most of the things have been taken care of by Steward Wang and Liu Jing, and he only needs to take a look.
However, there are still some urgent military situations that Zhu Gui needs to deal with.
The first one was information from Hu Shidao, and it was also sent back from Nanjing.
According to intelligence on the border, there had been a split within the Northern Yuan, and there had been many wars between the Wazi and Tatar tribes.
This information made Zhu Gui fall into deep thought.
According to the course of later history, the history of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been ended at the end of this year, and the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has also died.
However, because of Zhu Gui, although the Northern Yuan Dynasty existed in name only, the queen and the name of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were still there, but now the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gui originally thought that he had made unprecedented changes in the course of history, but he didn't expect that what he thought was too simple.
Even if there is no such thing, it is inevitable that there will be a split within Mongolia again, and I am afraid that if the Ming Dynasty wants to actually control the entire Northern Yuan territory, it will take a lot of time and energy.
And based on Zhu Gui's judgment of the current situation, the Ming court now has no such energy, or Zhu Yuanzhang's time is probably running out.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Ming Dynasty is about to usher in chaos, and then there will be no energy to care about the affairs of the Mongols.
