Sun Lin's face turned red, he glared at Zheng Xiang, and stammered when he spoke: "This, this, how can this climb high?" ”

Zheng Xiang also pretended, wiped the beard that was almost invisible under his mouth, and said happily: "I can't be the master of this matter, I have to ask my wife." ”

Cao Long immediately said: "The lower official will ask, and this matter will be done today." ”

Cao Yu, the political envoy, also smiled: "Strike while the iron is hot, just do it." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled silently and watched the scene coldly.

On the surface, the civil and military officials in Yunnan seemed to be harmonious, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but it was out of his surprise.

The main reason is that these civil and military forces were all transferred by Zhu Di after he ascended the throne, which can be regarded as a faction.

And everyone is new to the city, and there has been no conflict yet.

However, after a long time, there will inevitably be friction between local civil and military forces.

So at the banquet that night, Zheng Xiang and Sun Lin became in-laws, and it was determined that Zheng Xiang married Sun Cheng.

The two families seem to be in a hurry, and they will do what they say.

In late September, the marriage between the two was completed, and then Sun Lin went to Erhaiwei to take up a post, and Sun Cheng and Zheng Wei lived in Kunming.

Before getting married, Sun Cheng didn't even have an official position, because he was still young when he was martyred.

Then Sun Lin was the defeated side during the Jingjing, so Zheng Xiang and Cao Long planned to find a general banner for Sun Cheng to do it first.

Unexpectedly, Sun Cheng got married on the front foot, and told Zheng Xiang privately on the back foot that he wanted to go to Guangnan Mansion to be a civil official and help King Han Tuntian grow sugarcane.

But on the surface, he was a person sent by the political envoy.

When Zheng Xiang heard it at that time, his head buzzed, and the whole person was messy.

I'll fuck it, Sun Lin is the man of the King of Han?

Zheng Xiang is very satisfied with Sun Cheng, Sun Cheng is not only young and promising, but also quite smart, good-looking, and literate and polite.

I didn't expect Sun Lin to be a person from King Han.

He stared at Sun Cheng with love and hatred for a moment, and finally sighed with a wry smile: "Your special mother has slept with my daughter, what else can I do?" ”

"You can go with peace of mind and treat Ran'er well."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will treat you well." Sun Cheng said respectfully.

At this time, Zheng Xiang knew that he had landed on the thief ship of the King of Han, and if Zhu Di knew that his daughter was married to the son of the King of Han's subordinates, he would definitely have to be transferred.

The matter has come to this point, and thinking about Zhu Di's lack of righteousness to him, he can only stand on the side of King Han, because whether he wants to or not, the matter of his daughter marrying Sun Cheng has become a fact.

A few days later, a subordinate of the King of Han came over to mobilize a large number of people and horses of the three guards, and Zheng Xiang could only pretend not to know.

According to the requirements of the imperial court, he reported a secret letter to the Beijing division once a month, saying that the three guards of the Han Dynasty guarded one side according to the requirements of the imperial court and hoarded fields to grow grain.

——

Nguyen Khan is in his early thirties and still very young.

His sister was married to a member of the Chen Dynasty, so strictly speaking, he was not only a slave of the Chen Dynasty's family, but also a relative of the emperor.

After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, Nguyen Kang changed his name to Chen Tianping in the name of the imperial prince and organized a rebellion.

He didn't want to do this, and if he could surrender, he would rather surrender to Hu Hancang.

But his sister married to the Chen Dynasty clan, and his sister's whole family was killed, and Hu Hancang didn't intend to let him go, so Ruan Kang had no choice but to resist desperately.

While in Annam, he organized a failed uprising of some of the locals, and fled to Yunnan.

He came to Yunnan for nearly a year, and originally asked the Ming Dynasty for help when he first came.

But at that time, Emperor Jianwen himself was difficult to protect, and he was fighting with King Jing of Yan.

At that time, the political envoy and the Marquis of Xi Binh kept asking Ruan Kang to wait.

I waited for almost a year.

Now that it has finally waited for the first year of Yongle and the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty to ascend the throne, Ruan Kangjue's can't wait any longer.

Here in Yunnan, only Xiping Hou knew that his original name was Ruan Kang.

Because only the Marquis of Xiping has been stationed in Yunnan for many years, he has a better understanding of the situation in Annam.

Those local officials will be changed in a year or two, who knows him Ruan Kang or Chen Tianping.

Ruan Kang knew that if he wanted to get help from the Ming Dynasty in the name of the imperial prince of the Chen Dynasty, he must get the support of the Marquis of Xiping.

On this day, Nguyen Kang gathered his subordinates and cronies in the guild hall.

Looking at the only dozen or so people around him, Ruan Kang was actually very bottomless in his heart, but he had no choice, either he would rise up and resist, or he would eat and drink in Yunnan for the rest of his life, but it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to raise them for a lifetime.

"I gathered everyone here today to discuss where we go next?" Ruan Kang said to everyone quietly: "It has been almost a year since we came to the Ming Dynasty, and the rebellion within the Ming Dynasty has just ended, and now there are two ways in front of us. ”

"One is to go to the Ming Dynasty and ask the Ming Emperor to help restore the country, if it succeeds, everyone can be crowned and worship the prime minister, and bless future generations."

brush, the eyes of more than a dozen people at the scene lit up, who doesn't want to return to the country and become the founder of the country?

"The second is to give up this idea, live in Yunnan and spend the rest of your life-—— of course, you have to prevent Hu Hancang from sending people to chase and kill."

Ruan Kang is also a very routine person, in history, he was able to pretend to be Chen Tianping to deceive Zhu Di and let Zhu Di move troops for him, of course, he has the ability.

As soon as he said these two ways, his subordinates didn't have to think about it, they would definitely take the first one.

"General Ruan, I heard that the emperor also won the throne by the rebellion, will they support our restoration of the country?" Ruan Kang's general, Ruan Wei, asked at this time.

The rest of the people also looked at Ruan Kang with inquiring eyes.

Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty seized the throne like Hu Hancang's father and son, will he support them?

Ruan Kang thought for a while and said with a smile: "With my understanding of the Han people, the more people who have suffered, once they gain power, they will be more ferocious and brutal than ordinary people, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that he was very bitter when he was a child, and he had to eat and be a beggar, so after he became the emperor, he killed people like hemp, and was very cruel to officials and people, and also invented all kinds of torture of peeling skin and lighting lamps." ”

"Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty is not in the right position, this kind of person will definitely stand on a moral standpoint, support us, and strongly condemn Hu Hancang, a traitor who plots to usurp the throne."

"General Ruan said well, we should use the power of the Ming Dynasty to restore the country for us." A subordinate was pleasantly surprised.

"But we need a legal identity, and this identity must be supported by Xipinghou."

"We have sent so many treasures to Xipinghou, he will definitely support us, right?"

It turned out that they fled from Annam to Yunnan, and brought out a lot of royal treasures of the Chen Dynasty and sent a lot to the Marquis of Xiping, so as to get the protection of the Marquis of Xiping.

"Not necessarily." Ruan Kang sighed: "I'll go to Xiping Hou again." ”

As soon as Ruan Kang's words fell, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ruan Kang and the others opened the door of the house, only to see their cronie Zheng Qiufeng say with a serious expression: "General Ruan, someone from the Xiping Marquis Mansion is here." ”

——

Quang Nam province is a bit lively in October.

Quang Nam Province is located in the easternmost part of Yunnan, which is also considered a key point, adjacent to Guangxi in the east and Annam in the south.

The Ming Dynasty set up a Guangnan post station and Baoyue Pass here, two bayonets, and the garrison was less than two hundred.

Because this is the territory of the toast, the local toast is Nong's.

From Dali to Song and Yuan, it has been hereditary by the Nong family.

In the seventeenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1384), Nong Zhenyou Na Tu was attached, and the Ming Dynasty changed the Xuanwei Division of Guangnan West Road to Guangnan Prefecture Tutongzhi, which belonged to the Yunnan Provincial Government Division, and awarded Zhenyou Zinong Lang Jin as the Tutongzhi, and was five products. In the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu (1396), Wang Jun was ordered to lead the guard officers and troops to Guangnan to build a city and build a defense, Nong Zhenyou was not at ease, but gathered the crowd to resist according to the cottage, was defeated by Wang Jun and captured, and sent to Beijing to deal with it, and at the same time reduced Nong Lang Jin to Guangnan Prefecture Tutong Judgment, from the fifth product to the sixth product.

In order to maintain the relationship with the local Tusi, the Ming Court adopted the way of the Dian people governing Yunnan in Guangnan Mansion, after all, the declination of Guangnan Mansion in Yunnan is not beneficial, and the Tusi of the people have been operating in the local area for hundreds of years, and it is not easy to occupy it.

Therefore, the Ming army finally gave up building a defense in Guangnan, and only built a Baoyue Pass, with more than 100 garrisons, led by 100 households Tong Jiang, plus the families of military households, there were about three or four hundred Han people in the local area.

At this time, the population of Tusi in Quang Nam Province was about 10,000 or 20,000, and the Tusi were still slaves, so most of the local Tusi were slave servants of the Nong clan.

Nong administers Quang Nam Province as a general judge, and the prefect is Song Chengwen, a Han Chinese, but has no power, and is only responsible for mediating relations between the local and Han people.

When the current Tusi of the Nong clan was Nong Lang Jin, when he was appointed as Tu Tongzhi, the imperial court required the Nong clan to pay a grain tax of 7,500 stone per year according to the number of adult males. (1 ding, 1 stone)

Nong Langjin refused and ran away.

Later, the Ming army came to build the acropolis, Nong Zhenyou was dissatisfied, thinking that there was a threat to them, and fought a battle with the Ming army, and after being defeated, he captured the Beijing division, and the Nong clan had no one to call the shots.

Nong Langjin had no choice but to come back, but the official was demoted by one level.

After consultation with the Ming army, the Ming army did not build a garrison here, but only built a Baoyue Pass, on the side of the Xiyang River, and the grain tax was no longer calculated according to Dingkou, but levied by household.

This Quang Nam province is actually a good place, because it is the Xiyang River in the south, and there are patches of plains on both sides of the river, which are suitable for growing grain.

There are more than 4,000 households in the Nong Lang Kim tribe.

At first, the Ming army collected taxes according to the head of the people, and later Nong Zhenyou fought a battle, so it was changed to household collection.

Therefore, the Nong family has to hand over more than 4,000 stone grain to the Ming court every year.

The weather here in Guangnan Province is good, and the rice can be planted twice a year, but the Tusi are really not good at planting technology, and no one in the Ming court teaches them, so the grain output is very low, and the average annual yield per mu is just over two stones, and the Ming army only collects it according to households, in fact, the tax is not heavy, as long as the number of acres planted by each household is more.

However, the local people are not very interested in farming, and the technology is poor, and they mainly rely on local specialties, so the annual grain tax is also a problem.

In mid-October, Nong Lang Jin Zheng and the prefect Song Chengwen were drinking tea and talking about things in the government office, and suddenly his subordinates came down to report that a large number of people and horses came outside, continuously, and there were many people.

Nong Lang Kim and Song Seungwen were both taken aback.

The two hurriedly went out and stood on the earthen city wall, only to see a crowd of black people in the distance, like ants, stretching farther away, a large number of people and horses and various cars, coming to Quang Nam Mansion.

Prefect Song Chengwen was also stunned, what happened? Even his prefect doesn't know?

After a while, a fast horse rushed from the opposite side and quickly spread the news to them.

The subordinates of the Han Wangfu commanded Tongzhi Hong Zheng and was ordered to go here to plant sugarcane.

Then the herald also brought a letter from the Xiping Marquis Mansion and the Yunnan Political Envoy asking for the cooperation of local officials.
