"What is it?" Mu Ying asked softly.

"There are three feelings, one is that Yunnan is really fucking big." Zhu Zhen chuckled and said: "The Yuan Dynasty has set up fifty-two roads in Yunnan, if we completely follow the rules of 'changing roads into mansions', we will have to set up fifty-two mansions!" ”

"So many?!" Mu Ying was also taken aback. Before the mountains were high and the roads were far away, the Ming Dynasty's understanding of Yunnan was limited to the sphere of influence of King Liang and Duan, but he knew very little about the vast western Yunnan and southern Yunnan.

"Not really." Zhu Zhen nodded and said: "I am synthesizing various atlases and drawing the territory of Yunnan, and you will be clear at a glance when the time comes." ”

"It seems that it is not enough to just lay down Kunming and Dali." Mu Ying sighed lightly.

"That's really the case, Yunnan is too big, there are too many barbarians, we must be prepared for a long-term battle." Zhu Zhen nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This is my second thought, checking the household registration and finding that there are too few Han people in Yunnan. Manda is less than a tenth of the total population, and this is in the case of a large number of barbarians who are not registered. ”

"Indeed, I heard that there are slightly more Han people in Kunming and Dali. Even if there are Han people elsewhere, they are no different from barbarians. Mu Ying thought deeply and said: "If you want to have long-term peace and stability, how can the Han people do this?" ”

"Yes, it's not enough, we have to change the composition of the population, so that the Han people become the majority, so that this can be counted as the land of the Han family." Zhu Zhen put his hands behind his back, sighed and said, "There is a long way to go, Brother Wen Ying." ”

"Yes." Mu Ying bowed his head and said: "Yunnan is indeed different from any of the provinces we have recovered before, and the challenge has just begun after the battle. ”

"We must perfectly integrate Yunnan into the territory, which is not only related to the present of the Ming Dynasty, but also related to our future." Zhu Zhen said with a firm gaze.

Mu Ying nodded, he understood what His Highness meant.

The two have been almost inseparable since the beginning of Guizhou, and they have long been talking about everything, Mu Ying has already heard the sixth child talk about it, he continues to expand his territory, and the grand blueprint of feudal overseas.

As a martial artist, he naturally raised his hands to support, this is simply a tailor-made way out for the military general group, I believe that no noble will not be cold.

But as His Royal Highness's brother-in-law, an official of the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, he felt that His Highness's idea was difficult to realize. Not to mention anything else, just talking about those lands that are separated by mountains and seas, it is definitely easy to fight down, but difficult to defend.

How to incorporate these overseas lands into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so that they are like core territories, constantly making blood for the imperial court. And will it not become a burden that makes the court constantly lose blood?

Before this eternal problem is solved, he is not optimistic about His Highness's rhapsody. I believe that the emperor will not agree......

In this way, it is understandable why His Highness is so concerned about Yunnan. If he can do this in Yunnan, it will prove that he can replicate the Yunnan model elsewhere.

If he can't do well in Yunnan, then he won't have to mention anything about 'opening up territory and expanding territory, feudal overseas'.

"What do you think is the biggest obstacle if you want to do a good job in Yunnan?" Zhu Zhen asked again.

"That's toast, undoubtedly." Mu Ying hit the nail on the head and said: "Those Tusi Tu chiefs are all soil emperors, why does King Liang not want to live if he loses Qu Jing?" Because he knew very well that without Qujing's 100,000 army, those Tusi would not listen to him at all. ”

"Yes, from the moment he lost his 100,000 troops, Yunnan was not his." Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "But it's not ours now, it's the toast's." ”

He sighed and said, "My third feeling is that the power of Toast is too great. Most of Yunnan's population and land are under their control. If we want to have the final say in Yunnan, we must restrain them. ”

"It's just that the Tusi system has lasted for thousands of years, and the imperial courts of the past dynasties have only fettered these local officials and chieftains, even the former Yuan, who had the strictest control over the Tusi forces, did not abolish the Tusi system in Yunnan." Mu Ying said softly: "If we dare to attack this system, we will definitely stab the hornet's nest." ”

"Is it reasonable to extend the millennium? Even if it was reasonable back then, it would have been unreasonable for a long time since the times changed. Zhu Zhen said categorically: "The Tusi system can only cultivate a group of white-eyed wolves, and the world changes its way to ask the court for food in peacetime, and if you don't give it, you will cry and make trouble, and even rebel." ”

"But when the country is in danger and employing people, I don't want to see their shadows. Those who surrender one by one are faster than anyone else, and it is considered benevolent and righteous not to stab you in the back. What's the use of keeping them on such toast? If you don't change it while you're in ruins, future generations won't be able to change it if you want to! ”

"Understood." Mu Ying heard it clearly, His Royal Highness was going to use a knife against the Tusi system, of course he supported this, but he had to remind the sixth child that he must be cautious.

"But Your Highness must think twice, the toast issue is too sensitive, and if you don't get it right, it will boil back."

"I know, but it's polite as soon as you come up, and it's easy for them to kick their noses in the face, so we have to make an example of the chickens first." Zhu Zhen nodded and asked, "The biggest chicken in Yunnan should be Dali Duan's, right?" ”

"That's for sure." Mu Ying nodded. "The Duan clan was originally the lord of Yunnan, and was later demoted to the rank of chief by the Yuan Dynasty. However, they still say the same thing in Dali, and they also have a lot of influence in Lijiang and Weichu. ”

"Shall others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch?" Zhu Zhen said coldly: "On the territory of the Ming Dynasty, such a force cannot be allowed to exist!" ”

"......" Mu Ying touched the military newspaper in her sleeve and said with a wry smile: "Does Your Highness know everything?" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen didn't hide it from him, nodded and said: "I just received a report from the Marquis of Dingyuan, saying that Lan Yu and Jin Chaoxing led the army to fight Dali, and before I had time to call Ling over to discuss, you came first." ”

"Your Highness, haven't you already discussed this?" Mu Ying finally understood why the King of Chu had told him so much. Because His Royal Highness also wants to fight Dali...... so that the words against which they are opposed cannot be spoken.

"This king thinks so, Brother Wen Ying can also have different ideas, let's touch, whose is the right to listen to whom." Zhu Zhen said with an embarrassed smile and said, "There is still something I haven't told Brother Wen Ying, the news from Lan Yu's side was sent by me." ”

"The last general is estimated that no one else has that ability." Mu Ying smiled bitterly.

"I can't help it. If you don't agree to help him with this, can he stay in Guangxi honestly and not cross the Xiyang River for half a step? Zhu Zhen said apologetically: "Originally, it was just a plan to recruit delaying soldiers, but I didn't expect Lan Yu to go to the sky with chicken feathers, and the action was also fast." ”

"When it comes to marching and fighting, the last general is also convinced of him." Mu Ying sighed lightly and said: "It's just that he is too murderous, if he is allowed to fight Dali, I am afraid that he will kill a bloody pestle." ”

"It doesn't hurt to start a little heavier, it can serve as a warning." Zhu Zhen didn't care.
