The changes in the Ming Empire began a few years ago.

The most obvious feeling is not necessarily the officials, but also the common people, and even orphans like May and Zhao Dabao.

Without Shaoyingyuan, they (they) don't know what will happen? In the Shaoying Academy, they study, they play, and they have no worries about food and clothing.

Moreover, they (they) know that the Shaoying Academy was opened at the emperor's expense, and they (they) are extremely lucky to be able to enjoy such treatment.

They also know that now every province has a Shaoying Academy, which was jointly funded by the royal family and several major chambers of commerce, providing shelter for countless orphans, so that they can learn and grow without hunger and cold.

The funds for the daily operation of the Shaoying Yuan are partly the internal funds taken out by the emperor, partly from the Chamber of Commerce, as well as donations from the rich, gentry, businessmen, and even ordinary people in the society.

But these sheltered orphans did not know that the emperor had great expectations for them. What they learned was appointed by the emperor; When they grow up, they will be the various talents that the emperor expects.

More importantly, their minds will take a big step forward.

Of course, the orphans adopted by Shaoyingyuan are not enough. The emperor is gradually promoting, using tax exemptions and tilted investment in education to create more talents that meet his requirements.

If one generation fails, two generations will follow, and the emperor thinks he can achieve this goal. Because he is also very young, in a generation of twenty years, he should be able to survive until that time.

Alas! Forget it, Zhao Dabao has Zhao Dabao's idea, maybe it's right. What's even more valuable is Zhao Dabao's persistence.

May sighed very old-fashionedly, long live and don't interfere, she doesn't care what she does so much.

With her thoughts cleared, May stared at the candied fruit on the table again, and grinned.

Happiness is so simple, don't look at her as far smarter than ordinary people, but she is a child after all.

And all the children of Daming will no longer have the wars and pains of history. Although they will have their own confusions and difficulties in the future, it is an inevitable growth experience in their lives.

Pingliao not only renewed the life of the Ming Empire, made the subjects rejoice, but also moved a big stone in the emperor's heart. Although in his heart, not just a piece.

And this year is also the most relaxed and comfortable for the emperor.

In the future, he didn't have to worry about it anymore. While destroying foreign enemies, internal purges never stopped. It is precisely because of the internal prosperity and elimination of the disadvantages that we have the confidence and strength to fight Liaodong with the strength of the whole country.

Now, planning for the future can also be put into practice. As for the rebellion in the southwest, as long as he said a word, An Jia would surrender, but he didn't want it.

Not only did he not accept the surrender of the An clan, but the emperor was not ready to let go of the Tusi who participated in the rebellion. He is not stingy with money, food and supplies, but he must eliminate future troubles.

Shuixi will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty; It's the same with Usa. And also......

The emperor did not want to kill Shuixi into a river of blood, but could not tolerate the An clan to continue to enjoy the status of Tusi after surrendering.

To put it bluntly, the emperor's target was the An clan, not the military and civilians in Shuixi. Uproot the An clan and move the rebellious troops to Mekong, Dongfan, and Hainan......

But they are still the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they will live more freely and more affluently. Except for those Tusi and Tumu who did not work hard, in this counterinsurgency war, their losses were the greatest.

The loss of the land left by the ancestors, the people who could be enslaved for generations, and even the lives of the emperor, depended on the attitude of the emperor.

This is the real deterrence, the confidence that Pingliao brought to the emperor after that. With the sharpness of weapons and equipment and the improvement of combat power, the Ming army is no longer what it used to be.

Although it is not yet the time for large-scale land reform, the strategy of weakening the toast has already begun to be implemented.

To be more accurate, it weakens the strength of domestic toast, but strengthens its presence abroad.

For example, after the rebellion, the elite soldiers entered Yunnan and rectified the officialdom in Yunnan, while also preparing for war against the Donghu Dynasty in Burma.

The Ming army was not the only force in the war, and it was a good strategy to unite the soldiers of various Tusi families to compete for land and resources outside the country.

This is similar to the establishment of toasts in Mekong Province, which has weakened their power by allowing domestic toasts to branch out.

The power is divided and dispersed, and the force is gathered, this truth, the emperor understands, others may not understand. Even if you think clearly, how many can resist the temptation and only stay on a fixed one-third of an acre?

Draw out the forces that may rebel and disperse them, and once a strong retrenchment is carried out, the resistance will be greatly reduced, and they can be broken one by one, divided and controlled.

The emperor put away the information about Yunnan, pressed the eagerness in his heart, thought for a long time, and ordered the palace people to announce that Wang Sanshan would enter the palace tomorrow to meet him.

The Mu family is located in Kunming, and the governor of Yunnan is in Chuxiong, not in the same city, so there are few conflicts.

Although the emperor had to wait until the rebellion of Hao'an was quelled, he would send a large army to Yunnan, and the military and political power of Yunnan would be returned to the imperial court, ending the history of Mujiashi in Yunnan.

But the current governor of Yunnan is not satisfactory, and Wang Sanshan should be a more suitable candidate, but he is older.

In the emperor's heart, the best candidate was Fu Zonglong, who was commanding the counterinsurgency. But the counterinsurgency was nearing its end, and he didn't want to fall short, so he had to retreat to the next best thing.

The emperor wrote a secret decree again, sent someone to send him away, and ordered Fu Zonglong to select 5,000 elite soldiers and strong generals to escort Wang Sanshan into Yunnan. These 5,000 elites are not only an escort, but also a teaching team for the reorganization of the army in Yunnan Province.

There are many toasts in the southwest, while there are many toasts in Yunnan, and the power is also great, and the situation is more special.

"All Baiyi settlements, all set up Tusi", until the orthodox years, the imperial court readjusted the southwest border of Yunnan to relocate the "three Xuan and six comfort".

The three Xuandian Xuanfu Division, Ganya Xuanfu Division, Longchuan Xuanfu Division, and the Six Xuanfu Divisions refer to the Cheli Xuanfu Division, the Myanmar Xuanfu Division, the Mubang Xuanfu Division, the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanfu Division, the Mengyang Xuanfu Division, and the Laos Xuanfu Division.

In addition to the domestic part, the scope of the three propaganda and six consolations roughly includes present-day Burma, northern Thailand and the central part of Laos, all of which are "those who can be dispatched in central Yunnan".

Ten years after Jiajing, Mangruiti established the Donghu Dynasty. With the decline of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the Donghu Dynasty became stronger and stronger, and the Ming Dynasty Sanxuan and Liufu Tusi were attached to the Donghu Dynasty.

After the emperor was busy with official business, he pondered for a long time, took out the gold red card from the drawer of the imperial book, looked at it and stroked it, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

In the early and middle period of the Ming Dynasty, the system of letters and red cards was implemented in the outer border administrative regions of Yunnan, which played a very important and positive role in border management, protecting the country and defending the borders, mediating and dealing with internal contradictions.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the implementation of this system was gradually relaxed, and even the implementation of the letter and gold red card system in the southwest frontier was basically abandoned.

In the first year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty awarded the golden red card, the survey and the letter symbol to the outer border administrative region of Yunnan for the last time, and there is no record of the golden red card and letter symbol after that, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty ruler abandoning this frontier management system.

Myanmar, on the other hand, advanced step by step, and even learned from the Ming Dynasty's gold-lettered red card system, sending envoys to lend a helping hand to solve problems for the weak outer border administrative regions, resulting in the weak outer border political regions falling to Myanmar without the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Golden red card! A chill flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he was already determined to regain this system and regain the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.
