In May, Huang Ying went through hard work, and finally came to Yunnan, Zhu Gaoxu first arranged in the palace, claiming to be the daughter of the general Chen Wen, and married Huang Ying in mid-May, but the wedding was extremely low-key, only a few generals such as Xiping Hou, Zheng Xiang, Cao Long, etc., the civil officials did not call any of them, and the civil officials did not know about it.

In late May, news that Chen Tianping, Lü Yi, and Huang Zhong had been ambushed by the Hu clan in Annam.

In fact, at the end of April, Zhu Gaoxu and Xipinghou already knew.

But another month passed when the news spread.

Zhu Gaoxu and Xiping Hou, Zheng Xiang, Cao Long and others discussed many times, and estimated that the imperial court would mobilize Yunnan's soldiers and horses, and several of them were already discussing the transfer of those soldiers and horses to participate in the war, and began to control the passage from Yunnan to the outside.

Yunnan is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and it is normal not to receive news for several months.

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to train all the soldiers and horses in Yunnan in rotation, and draw 100,000 elites from them, plus his nearly 20,000 elite guards, and then he could gather about 120,000 soldiers and horses.

Coupled with the strength of the Tusi, when the army is raised, it is best to get together 200,000, the momentum will be very strong, and it can also be fought in several battlefields at the same time.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses in some places in Yunnan cannot move, and they must seize the time to train.

In June, Zhu Di, who was far away in Beijing, received the news and was furious.

He, as in history, immediately decided to move troops.

In July, Daomen Lai returned to Yunnan from Jingshi, and the news he brought to Sixingfa was very bad, and Ming Ting's reply was exactly the same as what Yang Dayong said, and he didn't care about their attack by Mu Bang and Mengyang, and let them solve it themselves.

Sixingfa was originally forced to Liangshan by his younger brother after killing Yang Dayong's people, but now when he heard Daomen Lai's words, he finally woke up a little more than in history, and further felt disappointed in the Ming Court, not to mention that at this time he had already given way to his younger brother, so he decided not to refuse his younger brother to fully support Zhu Gaoxu.

At the end of September, the imperial envoy came to Yunnan and read out the emperor's decree.

The emperor appointed Zhu Gaoxu as the general of Zhengyi, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng as deputy generals, Li Bin, the left staff general, and Chen Xu, the right staff general, led 800,000 troops to attack Annan.

Among them, Zhu Gaoxu and Mu Sheng recruited 50,000 troops in Yunnan for the North Route Army, and fought from Yunnan to the south, and Zhang Fu raised 300,000 troops from Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Fujian and other places to fight from the west to the east.

The original history of Zhu Gaoxu was not in Yunnan, so the general of Zhengyi was Zhu Neng.

But in the middle, Zhu Neng died of illness and was changed to Zhang Fu.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu has replaced Zhu Neng, the offensive line of the two armies is arranged as in the original history.

Zhu Gaoxu and Mu Sheng led Yunnan soldiers from Mongolia to Annan, and Zhang Fu entered Annan from Pingxiang, Guangxi.

The eunuch who announced the decree was Wang Jinghong, and Wang Jinghong was accompanied by officials from the General Administration Department.

Yang Dayong has not returned to Beijing yet.

Cao Yu said, I had dinner with him in January, and after eating, he went to Luchuan, and after that, there was no news of him.

Xiping Hou said: "From here to Luchuan, thousands of miles away, if you don't know how to ride a horse, you have to walk for a few months, and in many places, the carriage can't go." ”

Cao Yu said, Yang Dayong can ride a horse, he has been to Yunnan before, Xiping Hou doesn't know?

Mu Sheng said coldly, I am not familiar with Yang Dayong.

When Yang Dayong was there before, Xiping Hou was not Mu Sheng.

Everyone calculates the time, even if you go to Luchuan slowly, count it for a month, come back for another month, and only two months for you to go back and forth, in fact, if there is a guide, the riding skills are good, and you can go fast enough, and you don't want to go back and forth for a month.

Calculate the time, now in September, if Yang Dayong returns to Beijing, he will go to Beijing again.

Everyone said that they didn't see Yang Dayong, and after Yang Dayong arrived in Yunnan, he only saw Cao Yu.

Xiping Hou Musheng suddenly said: "Why did Yang Dayong go to Yunnan and only meet Master Cao?" Didn't meet Ben Hou and the King of Han? ”

"This..." Cao Yu was suddenly speechless, not knowing how to explain.

Wang Jinghong hurriedly played a round: "It may be that the general political envoy has other important tasks, Xiping Hou should not worry too much." ”

On the side, Zhu Gaoxu smiled dryly: "The imperial court trusts Xipinghou, don't misunderstand Xipinghou." ”

Wang Jinghong secretly rolled his eyes, King Han, you are deliberately sowing discord.

He couldn't help it, so he planned to ask the local capital to send troops again to escort the people from the general administration department to Luchuan to have a look.

As a result, Cao Long sent a hundred soldiers and horses to send them, and just after passing Yunzhou and reaching the territory of the Tusi Dao clan, they were attacked.

The Ming army was killed and wounded more than a dozen people, and the people who communicated with the government were killed again, but the other party didn't say anything, and the other Ming troops were so frightened that they crawled back.

However, there were soon rumors in Yunnan Mansion that Si was dissatisfied with the imperial court's lack of help, so he killed the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

From this point of view, Yang Dayong must have been killed by Luchuan Si's family?

Zhu Gaoxu shouted at that time, asking to lead troops to destroy Luchuan, let him fight Luchuan, and let Xipinghou fight Annan.

The Marquis of Xiping strongly objected, demanding that Annan be attacked first according to the will of the imperial court.

Wang Jinghong hurriedly said, it is better to come according to the will of the imperial court, first fight the affairs of Annan and Luchuan, and wait for the slaves and maids to return to Beijing and report to the emperor.

After Wang Jinghong returned to the hall, Zhou Bin, a fellow Jinyi Wei Baihu, said: "The last general wants to go out and buy some things." ”

In fact, it is to go to Jinyiwei's stronghold in Yunnan to see if there is any news.

"Be careful." Wang Jinghong was a little scared and said: "Luchuan may want to rebel, now many natives in Kunming are very hostile to the Han people, I heard the king of Han say that yesterday there was a five-grade Han official on the street who was nowhere to go, and he was attacked by the natives and stabbed several times." If you want to go out, the king of Han can send troops to escort you. ”

“。。” Zhou Bin was skeptical, but they came in all the way, escorted by soldiers and horses in Yunnan, and when they first entered Kunming, they also clearly felt that there was no one on the street, and there was a look of slaughter, as if there was indeed something.

He was the one who saw the Jinyiwei stronghold in private, of course he couldn't say it, so he said that he had a private matter, said goodbye to Wang Jinghong, and brought a companion, and the two had just arrived at the door of the hall, and found that there were two teams of sergeants guarding the door.

The sergeants said that now Luchuan has a great opinion on the imperial court, and may want to oppose it, and the city of Kunming is full of natives, so don't run around, it's not safe.

Zhou Bin said, I am a military general, and I still carry a knife, what am I afraid of? I have something to go to the street, and besides, the two of us are not afraid, ordinary natives, even if there are three or four, they are not afraid.

The sergeants' persuasion was ineffective, so they could only let him go out twice.

Not long after, Wang Jinghong received news that Zhou Bin and his companions were attacked by natives in a remote corner of Kunming, and several arrows were blown on their bodies, all of which were on the brain, and they died on the spot.

The king of Han also asked him, didn't you tell you not to run around, if you want to go out, you can tell this king, this king sent troops to escort you?

Zhou Bin had a few meanings, he secretly ran out, was killed on the street, and spread to Jingshi, what did his father think of this king? Do you think this king did it?

Wang Jinghong hurriedly apologized, I persuaded them, and said that the king of Han could send troops to escort them, but they didn't listen, and it was none of the king's business.

Wang Jinghong felt that Yunnan was a little chaotic and wanted to go back as soon as possible.

The king of Han asked again, the natives are lawless in the city of Kunming, this Luchuan must be opposed, it is not possible not to fight, Wang Jinghong, you go back and tell my father the emperor, I am willing to lead troops to fight Luchuan, and Annan will let the Marquis of Xiping fight.

Wang Jinghong laughed with him, yes, yes, the slave must bring the words, and the king of Han should first beat Annan according to His Majesty's wishes.

At this time, even he felt that Zhu Di didn't care about Luchuan, it was very bad, and it was really easy to cause a rebellion among the natives here.

Wang Jinghong hurriedly left Yunnan the next day, and Zhu Gaoxu was afraid of his danger, so he sent 500 soldiers and horses to escort him, and the battle was very great.

Despite this, when passing by the Nanpan River, hundreds of natives suddenly appeared on the other side of the river, all with weapons, which startled Wang Jinghong at that time, but fortunately, the other party saw that there were more Ming troops here, and after watching for a while, they quickly disappeared.

At that time, Wang Jinghong's heart was about to jump out, and he told the entourage generals that he wanted to thank King Han, but fortunately, there were enough escorts.

After passing through the Pingyi Institute all the way, after arriving at the border of Guizhou, Wang Jinghong was still very afraid, because there were also many natives in Guizhou, and he asked Xue Lu to send more people to escort him, Xue Lu had a lot of opinions, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only do it.

Before Wang Jinghong left Yunnan, the Na clan of Yuanzhou received a summons from Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Na Rong came to the Han Palace, and heard an extremely angry news.

The imperial court rejected the matter of upgrading the Yuanjiang Mansion to the Yuanjiang Military and Civilian Mansion.

This is not Zhu Gaoxu's nonsense, the eunuch Wang Jinghong who delivered the decree was there at that time, and the Marquis of Xiping, the political envoy of Yunnan and other important civil and military officials in Yunnan were there.

Wang Jinghong was already dissatisfied with the Turen because of Zhou Bin's killing, not to mention that the imperial court did refute Na's request.

Jingshi has received the news that the Na family specially visited Zhu Gaoxu, and heard that he was still kowtowing at the gate of the Han Prince's Mansion, and then the Han King asked to play and help Yuanjiang Mansion be upgraded to Yuanjiang Military and Civilian Mansion.

Zhu Di was in the original history, because Na Rong took the initiative to meet him, and readily agreed, but this time it was a strong opposition.

Then Zhu Gaoxu also asked for a part of the tax exemption for the Na clan, which was vetoed by the imperial court.

Even the Marquis of Xiping said a few words for the Na clan on the spot, but Wang Jinghong said, this is His Majesty's will, and the slave and maid can't do anything.

At that time, Na Rong's face was extremely ugly, and he thought, fortunately, I didn't go to Jingshi to meet Zhu Di, otherwise I would have been humiliated.

With the wealth of the Na clan, the taxes of the imperial court are not worth mentioning, what he cares about is the face and dignity of the Na clan.

Every year, the things that the Na clan pays to the emperor are much higher than the taxes, but you don't even agree to reduce the taxes?

And he does not support the promotion of the military and civilian government, obviously to guard against the Na clan and distrust the Na clan.

After Wang Jinghong and the others left, Zhu Gaoxu privately summoned Narong again.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: "The court is still a little stingy, I will go to the state tomorrow, this amount of energy is really not enough." ”

Na Rong was furious: "Xiaguan said angrily, except for the King of Han among the Ming people, who treats us natives as people?" ”

“。” Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Many of my subordinates have married your clansmen and become husband and wife. ”

"That is, the King of Han is enlightened, and his subordinates will follow, this Ming Emperor, it should be done by the King of Han." Narong said angrily.

"Han Dai is originally a family, everyone is Chinese, descendants of Yan Huang." Zhu Gaoxu didn't care whether he could understand it or not, and said nonsense: "If I become an emperor, the world will be Chinese, regardless of Han and Dai." ”

"When it is." That Rong Xi said.

"Ugh." Zhu Gaoxu seemed to feel speechless: "Be cautious, be cautious." ”

That Rong is secretly happy, King Han seems to have a lot of ambitions, and he should be encouraged a lot.
