The progress of the next battle was also unbelievably smooth, so much so that Boss Zhu couldn't care about keeping up with Lao Liu, and was immersed in the happiness of the rapid progress of the battle every day-

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the army arrived in the area of Dabanqiao outside the city of Zhuchi, the king of Liang fled, and the right Pingzhang Guanfu Bao led the civil and military soldiers and civilians to surrender, offering household registration, atlases, accounts, and seals. Mu Ying and Jin Chaoxing troops entered the city of Chichi without blood, and according to the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it was renamed Kunming City.

At the same time, Fu Youde led his troops north to aid Usa. On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Guo Ying's 100,000 troops joined Wusa, and the battle situation on the northern front was completely reversed. Later, Yu Wusa broke the remnants of the Yuan and the Turkish chieftains, and the remnants fled. Then build the city in Wusa, get the seven stars pass to pass the Bijie, and Ke can cross the river, so Dongchuan, Wumeng, Mangbu barbarians all look at the wind to surrender, and the northeast of Yunnan is pacified.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the body of King Liang's wife was found on the east bank of Dianchi Lake, and the doors and windows were closed at that time, and he drove into the lake and drowned. And near the ruins found three burned remains, identified by Guan Fu Bao, as the Liang King put the remains of Zara Valmi, Zuo Cheng Luer, and Right Cheng Dade.

On the tenth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Jin Chaoxing and Cao Zhen led the army south to Lin'an, and the defenders surrendered without a fight.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Blue Jade Wang Bi Department crossed the Xiyang River on the twenty-sixth day of the previous year, broke the Baoyue Pass, went down to Guangnan City, and killed more than 10,000 people under Duan Bao, the chief of Dali. The southeast of Yunnan looks at the wind and falls.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, the Jin Dynasty Xing Lanyu Department returned to the division, went north to crusade against central Yunnan, and went down to Weichu on February 15, and the central Yunnan was decided, and the army rested in Weichu and prepared to march into Dali.

On February 18, the persuasion of Duan Shi was unsuccessful, the army went out of Weichu, and on the 25th, the upper and lower passes were attacked, and the Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Bi, led the selection of the Feng to cross the Erhe River at night, and climbed the cliff with aid, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky, and broke through the pass on the same day. Dali City was also broken on the same day, capturing the uncle and nephew of the Duan family of the Northern King, and more than 3,000 people of the Duan clan, civil and military, and palace dependents.

On February 20, the army went down to Heqing, Lijiang, Xiajinya and other places, and the northwest of Yunnan was flat.

In leap February, the Ping-Burma Xuanwei Division in western Yunnan, Cheli in southwest Yunnan and other Tusi from all walks of life met to surrender without waiting for the heavenly soldiers to fight. By the end of the month, the whole territory of Yunnan was basically calm.

Even if Boss Zhu is accustomed to the life of a shuangwen actor, he is still deeply excited by the rapid progress of the army.

After letting Eunuch Wu read out the last military report above, he happily said to his ministers: "We originally expected that it would take at least a year for the army to enter Kunming, and two or three years to pacify the entire territory of Yunnan, which is already the most optimistic estimate." ”

Unexpectedly, Fu Youde and the others set off from Nanjing on September 1 and arrived in Wuchang on September 26. In October, he conquered Puding to the first line of victory. The Battle of Baishijiang on the sixteenth day of the lunar month, on the day of the small year, the provincial capital was occupied, and it took only one hundred and thirteen days before and after. Then go down to Guangnan, destroy Dali, Ping Wusa, and return the entire territory of Yunnan to the territory, and it didn't take three months to get together, which is really fast. ”

"This is all because the recovery of Yunnan by the heavenly soldiers is actually in accordance with the mandate of heaven, and naturally heaven and earth work together, and everything goes well. There is also the emperor who is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, and it is reasonable that the soldiers can achieve such good results. Since he was forced to make a comeback, he insisted on being a sound worm and a sycophant, just asking for safety in and out every day, and nothing else.

"Hey, our capital is so far away from Yunnan, we can't help much, it mainly depends on the generals to decide on the spot, and the soldiers fight bravely to kill the enemy." Boss Zhu didn't take credit, waved his hand and laughed: "The battle of Yunnan was fought well, it played a national prestige, shocked the barbarians in the southwest, and at least twenty years of peace!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "There must be a lot of rewards!" Not only should they be judged for their merits, but they should also be rewarded generously. Sima Fa said, 'The military reward does not exceed the month', otherwise the soldiers will have grievances, and the boss should immediately verify the decision and report it! ”

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War hurriedly went out to answer the order. It should be said or not, although the dismissal of the Zhongshu and the abolition of the prime minister caused many inconveniences, the emperor's control over the six ministries has been greatly improved.

Now the emperor directly gives an order to Shangshu, and Shangshu reports directly to the emperor, and there is no room for prevarication at all. As long as the emperor can manage it, in fact, the administrative efficiency will be improved.

As a result, the two Shangshu worked overtime after they went back, set the reward standard, and sent the music to Boss Zhu the next day.

Boss Zhu saw that the reward set was as follows:

'Whoever captures or kills the first thief alive, commands, twenty-five ingots; 1,000 households, Wei Zhenfu, 20 ingots; 100 households, 16 ingots; Sergeant, ten ingots. ’

'Whoever captures or kills a thief alive, commands, twenty-three ingots, a thousand households, Wei Zhenfu, eighteen ingots; 100 households, 13 ingots; Sergeant, five ingots. ’

'Wounded, command, twenty-five ingots, thousand households, Wei Zhenfu, twenty ingots; 100 households, 16 ingots; Sergeant, ten ingots. ’

'Fifty ingots for the dead, command, thirty ingots for a thousand households, Wei Zhenfu; 100 households, 24 ingots; Sergeant, sixteen ingots. ’

'His requisition, command, twenty ingots, a thousand households, Wei Zhenfu, fifteen ingots; 100 households, 10 ingots; Sergeant, two ingots. ’

The face value of a treasure banknote is five yuan, and the monetary reward alone needs to cost at least tens of millions of yuan. Even if the treasure money can't be depreciated, this is definitely a huge amount of money. Especially for Boss Zhu, it can be called an unprecedented generosity.

Moreover, in addition to monetary rewards, soldiers can also be rewarded according to merit, including hereditary official positions and land in tuntian, which is what soldiers value most.

Boss Zhu generously gave away, and in addition to the normal reward of the military department's meritorious deeds, he also graciously allowed all the generals to be promoted to the next level:

'The original ordinary sergeant was promoted to a small flag, the small flag was raised to the general flag, and the general flag was promoted to a hereditary hundred households;

The original 100 households, now promoted to the hereditary deputy 1,000 households; The former chief and deputy thousand households and guards the town, and now he is promoted to hereditary commander;

The former commander is now the hereditary commander; The former commander is the same knowledge, and now he is promoted to the hereditary commander. ’

As for the land, it is also rewarded according to the merits of the official position.

In addition, the bereavement of the fallen soldiers, the compensation of the wounded and disabled, and the shadow attack have all been properly stipulated.

Some people have always said that Boss Zhu is a miser, and he doesn't know what he wants to do when he saves money. Here's the answer.

The experience of conquering the world taught him that in order to make the army loyal and maintain its combat effectiveness, in addition to strict military discipline, it is also necessary to have rich rewards.

Without the former, military discipline is lax. Lacking the latter, centrifugal and detached. Both are indispensable.

Boss Zhu will not spend less money, but will spend more. It was like this back then, and now there are big households to eat, so it is natural to be more generous.

After setting the reward, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent Runan Hou Mei Sizu as a special envoy and rushed to Yunnan to announce the decree. At the same time, he also brought the emperor's first rewards......
