Take Guizhou as an example.

This land of Guizhou has a glorious prehistoric civilization.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, it was famous for "the number of southwestern Yijun is long, and Yelang is the largest".

However, in the hearts of the rulers of previous dynasties, Guizhou was "far away", backward and poor, and traffic was blocked.

As long as there are no incidents that threaten one's rule, and nominal submission is maintained, everything is fine.

Therefore, no emperor has ever seriously considered including this land in the overall scope of national development.

I like to use Guizhou as a place to belittle criminals.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the first emperor in history to run Guizhou from the national level.

The Yuan Dynasty once practiced the Tusi system in Guizhou.

Guizhou is chaotic or not, and Tusi has the final say.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army destroyed the Ming Xia regime entrenched in the Sichuan and Shu areas in one fell swoop. (Country name Daxia)

Seeing this, the Guizhou toasts joined one after another.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Zheng Yanwen and Tuguan Xuanfu made Ai Cui, Shuyu Dang, and Song Mongolia and Nan Sizhong came to the court, and paid tribute to horses and square things.

At that time, Yunnan was still in the hands of the remnant Yuan forces, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not very clear about the situation of the Tusi at all levels in Guizhou who came to join him.

In view of this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not set up a provincial capital or county in Guizhou, nor did he garrison troops.

It's just that the Guizhou Propaganda and Consolation Department was re-established, and the rank was from the third grade, and it was still under the Sichuan Province.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, after Fu Youde and others pacified Yunnan.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang order to place the Guizhou capital to command the envoys, and to Pingliang Hou Feiju and Runan Hou Mei Sizu to be the directors.

The Ming army garrisoned troops in Guizhou.

Zhu Yunxi checked the archives of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and for more than ten years, the imperial court had established 28 guards in Guizhou.

There are 5,600 soldiers per guard, and there are thousands of households and hundreds of households under the guard, so that the Tusi forces dare not move.

Now the whole of Guizhou has been covered with the Ming army, forming a pattern of "all guards are staggered in the state and county".

The total number of 28 garrisons in Guizhou is nearly 160,000, and the number of family members and children is even more amazing.

These people from the Central Plains or the Jiangnan region not only cultivated a large amount of arable land in Guizhou, but also brought to Guizhou advanced agricultural production technology, handicrafts and relatively advanced commercial culture in the interior.

Guizhou can control Yunnan, and its military strategic position is important, so the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to it.

As long as there is a rebellion in Yunnan, the troops stationed in Guizhou can advance, retreat, and defend and take the initiative.

Yunnan is a special existence, and it is very difficult for the Central Plains Dynasty to manage.

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Dali Kingdom was established in the Yunnan-Guizhou region soon after, and this regime was established for more than 300 years.

In the Yuan Dynasty, although Yunnan Province was placed on the border of the former Dali State, not to mention that the Yuan Dynasty only lasted for more than 70 years, the Yuan Dynasty's control over the local area was not good.

In the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming army captured Yunnan, it was an extremely difficult task to recover and govern Yunnan and return it to China under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.

The main difficulty lies not in clearing away the remnants of the Mengyuan forces, but in their local separatist forces.

Refer to Annan.

During the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, the central government exercised administrative jurisdiction over the Annam region.

Later, although Zhu Laosi recovered Annan's homeland and placed it under the jurisdiction of the province, because Annan had been independent for more than 400 years, the independent forces in it were extremely strong, and rebellions broke out one after another.

In the third year of Xuande of Xuande, Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty gave up Annam and revoked the province.

Although the Ming army of the Jiajing Dynasty entered Annam, the king of Annam was forced to dedicate the land register and household registration to the Ming Dynasty and become a nominal territory.

But they always have their own country name and do not identify themselves as Daming.

Even in the 21st century, people are still countries, and they don't recognize it.

The reason is that there is no education, so that they do not have a sense of identity in their thinking.

The same is true of Liaodong, which has not mastered it for hundreds of years, does not know Chinese characters, and listens to the chieftains, and it is really difficult for the imperial court to control.

There is also the Western Regions.

Later, although the Qing Dynasty took Xinjiang, it was Xinjiang that was only after three generations of nearly a hundred years of hard work, and the Dzungar Khanate was completely wiped out.

Most of them were killed.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will gather, the martial arts are abundant, and it is very simple to expand the territory and lay the land, but the difficult thing is to govern and hold.

It is a pure waste of national strength to go on an expedition and rebel a few years later.

Although the Ming Dynasty's construction and control of Yunnan and Guizhou were unprecedented in previous dynasties.

But Zhu Yunxi was still not satisfied.

It is necessary to use soft power, unify values, and carry out permanent management!

He decided to vigorously promote the education of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, and establish Confucianism and social studies.

The matter of education is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Yunxi immediately instructed the Ministry of Rites: "The local officials of the border are all hereditary, and they know little about etiquette and righteousness.

Confucianism should be set up in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan border officials, so that they can know the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, father and son, and there is no disobedience to the courtesy, which is still the way of Anbian. ”

I have just carried out a big migration to the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and then cooperate with education, which is very interesting!

All of Zhu Yunxi's preparations are for the future to prepare for war and expand the territory!

If the rear is unstable, how can we talk about it?

Speaking of education, Zhu Yunxi remembered that there was a military attache playing yesterday.

It is said that some military ministers died, and their descendants were young and had no one to take care of them, but they were fostered in Jinyiwei.

Zhu Yunxi thought about it, and then the other party said: "Go to Du Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers." ”

He planned to let the officials open a school in Huju Pass on the eastern side of Qingliang Mountain in Jingshi, and hire ten more Confucian scholars to teach the children of the late Wuchen who were fostered in Jinyiwei.

The eldest son inherited the position of the heirs of those deceased military ministers, and most of the other sons lived in chaos.

Zhu Yuanzhang placed them in Jinyi Wei Linglu, no matter how old they were, they didn't have to be errands, just serve the iron rice bowl.

Lao Zhu only cares about their material life, and he doesn't care about their studies at all.

Now that he has met it, Zhu Yunxi can't ignore it.

Not only does he have to manage, but also those heroes who were killed by Lao Zhu, he plans to recruit them together.

For example, Zheng Yuchun, Marquis of Xingyang, Lu Zhongheng, Marquis of Ji'an, and Tang Shengzong, Marquis of Yan'an, who were implicated in Hu Weiyong's case......

They said that they had been exterminated, but in fact most of the descendants were there.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed a number of founding dignitaries, many of whom only killed the parties, and removed the title and confiscated the property, and the children and grandchildren were basically fine.

For example, Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, and his son Lu Xian is alive and well, and he is the captain of the horse.

Another example is Yan'an Marquis Tang Shengzong, several sons avoided Huguang, and the third son also changed his surname.

But after giving birth to several sons, the surname Tang was restored.

Xingyang Marquis Zheng Yuchun has more descendants.

Even Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was killed in history because of the Lanyu case, not only did his descendants be fine, but Zhu Yuanzhang also gave Wang Bi's eldest son as Marquis Anyuan, and his second son as Marquis of Xiting, and his descendants as officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed them with the crime of treason, not because they really rebelled, so there was no need to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

In your circle, the victim's family also knows it, so they will not shout to avenge their father.

Zhu Yunxi's preferential treatment of the descendants of the slain ministers is to some extent a kind of compensation.

The main purpose is to stabilize the DPRK through benefit-sharing.

Those founding heroes were unjustly killed, and for Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others who are still honorable, there will be more or less complaints in their hearts.

thinks that Lao Zhu is not kind, and even feels that he will suddenly encounter an accident one day, and he is guarded.

Zhu Yunxi did this, which would make Lan Yu and the other noble groups feel better in their hearts and continue to work hard.

Finally finished dealing with a bunch of notes.

Zhu Yunxi stretched his waist and decided to go out for a walk.

At this time, scholars from all over the country gathered in Beijing, preparing to participate in the imperial examination, so lively, it would be a pity not to see it.
