Chapter 465: A Long Way to Go III

"Your Majesty, Nanjing Urgent, Southwest Tusi rebelled."

...

"At the beginning of the spring of the fourth year of Shengwu, the cavalry of Jinyiwei detected this matter, and Lao Xu sent people from Nanjing to investigate in three ways..."

"As early as the end of the third year, the local Tusi in Guizhou heard that Juntian was exempted from being given to them, so they blocked the officials from entering the local area, and it did not break out until May this year..."

Chen Cao looked at the urgent official letters, and then asked, "I remember that Cen Toast has always been interested in Daming. ”

"Cen Rui was originally the Tusi of Guangxi, when the Nanjing War, his troops were still a wolf soldier supporting Nanjing, after Chongzhen was martyred, Cen returned to Guangxi for a long time..."

"Since the Duke of Qianguo sat in Yunnan, the local Tusi rebellion in Yunnan has become increasingly serious, and Qin Liangyu has to be sent from the Sichuan Military Region to assist in suppression, and the minister thinks that this Guizhou rebellion can solve the Tusi rebellion once and for all."

Chen Cao looked at a group of ministers, and then nodded: "These ethnic minorities are not highly educated, I also went to Jiangxi to deal with the She rebellion, and now the She people have also accepted my Han education;

There are many Yao people in Guizhou, and the ethnic minorities are complex, Yunsheng, you are the first prime minister, the prime minister of the cabinet, and you have a lot of ideas, how about it? ”

Huang Chunyao has indeed been in the limelight in recent years, he is the head of the Three Kingdoms of Scribes, and at the beginning of the third year of Shengwu, he was appointed by Chen Cao as the first prime minister of the cabinet and the prime minister of China, and he was the first person in power in the Ming Dynasty after the emperor.

It's Zou Weilian and Xia Yunyi, but they're just deputy prime ministers...

Although Huang Chunyao is a prince of the Liujue Kingdom and died in the first generation, he believes that as long as he can do the things arranged by the emperor in the past five years of his reign, he will definitely be able to mix a hereditary replacement earl for future generations after his death, and it is not impossible to do so.

"The minister thinks that when the number of ethnic groups is distinguished, and the small ethnic groups are mainly co-opted and deterred, the large ethnic groups will be the same as when His Majesty dealt with the She rebellion, killing its leaders, breaking up the ethnic groups, dividing and governing, and the armaments of our army's major military regions have entered the normalization, and I believe that it is more than enough to fight a rebellion in Guizhou..."

"After Guizhou is settled, we will gather heavy troops to go south to Guangxi and Yunnan, and strive to complete Your Majesty's great cause by the middle of next year."

Chen Cao nodded, thinking that this Huang Chunyao is still reliable, although he said that as long as the prime minister of the cabinet does not do too much to make the people resentful, he will not take the initiative to change the prime minister, but he is not like the Thai monarch of later generations, and he will step down from power at every turn.

Of course, as an emperor, the premise is that the military power is in the hands of the emperor.

"Spread my will, and ordered Hong Chengchou, the prince of Hubei State, to be the commander-in-chief, and lead the five divisions of the Shence Army to the south to quell the rebellion..."

...

The reform of the military system again has also been incorporated into Chen Cao's planning, according to the current policy, the regular army strength of the Ming Dynasty should be two million, and it is full, at the end of last year, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng successfully conquered the entire territory of Iran, and this year's plan is to attack Pakistan in the spring, which is August, and it should be soon...

"The functions and powers of the military department remain unchanged in accordance with the previous dynasty, only the transfer of troops is not the command of the army, and is responsible for the training and coordination of the whole Ming army, although this used to be the responsibility of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, but it is still the same sentence, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is only in charge of the combat and the army, and you must remember the description of the General Staff Headquarters..."

"With the Dingwu Army, the Shenwu Army, the Tianxiong Army, the Shence Army, and the Longwu Army as the advanced combat arms of our Ming Dynasty, a total of 50 divisions are established, and 120 regular divisions are established, and there are 24 group armies in wartime, which are stationed in various parts of our Ming Dynasty, and the four major fleets of the Navy maintain 30 divisions.

"The Dingwu Army and the Shence Army are stationed in mainland China, the Tianxiong Army is stationed in Xizhou Province, the Shenwu Army is stationed in Korea, Yingzhou, and Ryukyu Provinces, and the Longwu Army is stationed in Jiaozhou Province, and the regular divisions are assigned, with 5 divisions each in Korea, Yingzhou, and Ryukyu Provinces, and 25 divisions in Jiaozhou Province; There were 50 divisions in Xizhou Province, and the remaining 30 divisions were stationed in various parts of China, and this order was passed on in the hall of the joint meeting of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and it was engraved into a document for them to know. ”

"In addition, the entire strength of the East China Sea Fleet, with 20 new iron-hulled warships and 100 troop carriers, will be changed to the Xizhou Fleet, which will be stationed in the seaports south of Oman and Iran, and control the waterways of the Strait of Hormuz..."

"The local arsenals, logistics offices, cement, railways, and other important factories should open branches in Xizhou and Yingzhou provinces seven years before Shengwu to provide support for the garrison troops, and all major commercial banks, banks, and companies should step up their investment in the two provinces, so that the immigrant people can have food, clothing, and military security."

"The construction corps is sent to Xinjiang first, the war in Hami is at the last moment, it can be completed this year, strive to open up the land passage between Xizhou and China as soon as possible, continue to recruit people from all over the country to build Xinjiang, and drive the logistics factory nearby, the railway has been repaired to Yumen Pass in Gansu, I will receive the news that the railway will be connected to Xinjiang before the end of this year, you must all step up your work, and each of you will be in peace..."

At the end of the fifth year of Shengwu, Song Che, the generalissimo of the expedition to the north, returned from Liaodong, and Chen Cao held a grand welcoming ceremony for Song Che outside the Desheng Gate, and congratulated the court.

"The Duke of Qin is brave and martial, and he has fought a beautiful victory for my Ming Dynasty to clear the remnants of the enemy in Liaodong, and then take back the Nuer Gandu Division and the Russian Grand Duchy in the north, which can be regarded as showing off the muscles of our Ming Dynasty."

Chen Cao laughed and said: "I heard that those Cossack cavalry are unstoppable, Shi Xiu, can there be such a thing?" ”

Song Che smiled slightly: "Your Majesty doesn't know where to hear the rumors, under the sharpness of my Daming firearms, those cavalrymen who boast of their bravery have all fallen off their horses without even touching the two hundred steps of our army's formation, what's the matter?" ”

"Hahaha, it's rare for Shi Xiu to say such arrogant words..."

...

"Shi Xiu, my niece is smart and well-behaved?"

Song Che was stunned for a moment, a little stammered, Chen Cao said again: "My sister married you, your sister married me, we are also a good family, and each with children is also out of three suits, it should not be a problem to get married." ”

Song Che was a little excited, but also a little worried: "Your Majesty, after all, it's in the fifth suit..."

Chen Cao waved his hand: "The five suits are not counted, there are few problems, at this stage, the Jurchens did this back then, they are all very strong and strong, besides..."

Chen Cao stood up and walked to the gate of the palace: "My Chen royal family wants to cultivate henchmen, and marrying your Song family is also a good choice...

The princes of the Song family must marry the princess, and the daughter of the Song family must marry the crown prince, and if there is any surplus, they can also marry the rest of the kings...

This will become the ancestral motto of my Chen royal family. ”

But isn't the daughter of the Zhao family also a queen?

Chen Cao seemed to see Song Che's concern, so he said: "Jin'er woman, be the imperial concubine..."

That's right, what Chen Cao wants is for the daughters of the Zhao and Song families to become queens and imperial concubines respectively, and start the cycle of successive dynasties...
