As soon as Zhu Zhen and the three princesses settled down in Suzhou, they received an urgent call from Boss Zhu to Beijing.

At this time, the personnel who stayed in the palace of the king of Yunnan had also reported the situation in Kunming to Zhu Zhen, who knew that the matter was serious, so he had to leave Miaoqing and Liu Li to take care of Run'er, and rushed back to Nanjing by night.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he went straight to the Wuying Palace.

"The sixth is back?" Zhu Yuanzhang heard Eunuch Wu's confession, raised his head from the pile of chapters, and took off his reading glasses.

"Yes, Father." Zhu Zhen responded.

"You kid won't be home as soon as you go out," Zhu Yuanzhang rummaged on the imperial case, and complained angrily: "I don't know if the old parents at home are worried?" ”

"Erchen knows it's wrong." The sixth man hurriedly smiled and said: "I was going back to Beijing a long time ago, but Run'er was pregnant, so I didn't dare to bump on the road, so I stayed in Suzhou first." ”

"Oh, is it? Be sure to let the people below take care of her. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he heard this, and said that he threw a few copies of the music to the sixth child: "You take a look at these first." ”

Zhu Zhen took it and saw that it was all a report of a rebellion in Yunnan.

"In June, Usa, Umeng, and Mangbe rebelled, gathered more than 100,000 people, and attacked the city of Usa."

"In July, Quang Nam rebelled, gathered 80,000 people, and occupied Quang Nam City."

"In August, Pu'an Lin'an rebelled again."

"In September, Tusi Yang Tho bewitched the public, fabricated rumors about the departure of the army from Yunnan, instigated the 48 Tusi Alliance, gathered 200,000 troops to capture Songmeng Prefecture, and killed more than 100 people in Songmeng Prefecture and garrison."

"Yang led his troops to attack Kunming Bazi, in order to rush to transport food, the defenders blocked with 10,000 troops, with 3,000 casualties, and even our old soldiers were sacrificed. Then the rebels attacked the city of Kunming, and Yunnan was shaken......"

"What's the situation in Kunming now?" Zhu Zhen asked softly.

"Mu Ying has returned to the army to relieve the siege of Kunming." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dark face: "But this can't change the situation of erosion in Yunnan!" ”

Saying that, he raised his voice and said: "Thanks to our brag in the first half of the year, we praised the unification of Yunnan as having nothing in the sky and not in the ground, but in the second half of the year, we made such a show, and it was a slap in the face!" ”

"Reunification is only conquest by force, and there is still a long way to go before it is completely pacified." Zhu Zhen said softly.

"But the cowhide of 'the world returns to the heart' has been blown out," Zhu Yuanzhang said distressedly: "Now it's a mess again, do you know how many people watch our jokes?" ”

"Whoever laughs at it will send him to Yunnan to see how many others dare to laugh." Zhu Zhen said coldly.

"Hehe, you kid and Lao Tzu want to go together." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing: "We've already done this." ”

"But this can't solve Yunnan's problems except for exporting gas." Boss Zhu said and sighed: "We're really worried now, Yunnan won't continue to erode, right?" That consumption of Da Ming is too great. If this becomes a burden to the country, then what is the point of recovering Yunnan? ”

"Completing reunification is the greatest significance!" Zhu Zhen said categorically: "Moreover, Yunnan has been dissatisfied with the king for more than 600 years. For 600 years, the concept of lawlessness and arrogance of the toasts was deeply rooted. Now that the imperial court wants to establish rules and make them obey the king, it will definitely cause a strong backlash, which is inevitable. ”

As he spoke, he cheered up his father and said, "As long as we deal with it properly and survive this situation, everything will be fine." ”

"Well, since you're so confident, then I'll leave this matter to you." Zhu Yuanzhang waited for his words, and he couldn't hide the sly smile in his eyes.

"No, I ......" Zhu Zhen said with a bitter face: "My daughter-in-law is still pregnant." ”

"You don't need to give birth to a child, and there are so many female doctors to take care of it, what are you going to do, what should you do?" Zhu Yuanzhang said nonchalantly: "Besides, Yunnan has reached this point today, and you are also responsible." ”

"What is the responsibility of the son?" The sixth child shouted and said, "Father, you can't button your hat indiscriminately." ”

In fact, he does have a bit of responsibility, whether it is when he is handed over to Yunnan officials, or when he reports to Boss Zhu, his attitude towards Tusi barbarians is very tough, and it is impossible for the court and local decision-making to be without influence. Of course, as long as you are not a fool at this time, you will resolutely admit it.

"As the king of Yunnan, if something happens in Yunnan, it is my responsibility." It's a pity that Boss Zhu is not a reasonable person, so he waved his hand arrogantly and said: "This matter is so decided, let's appoint you as the governor of Yunnan, supervise the military and government, control the civil and military, act cheaply, and cut the first and then play the third grade!" ”

After a pause, he raised his voice and said: "Let's just have one request, settle down Yunnan!" ”

"What the hell am I ......" the sixth child wanted to scold his mother when he heard it.

"What did you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang pulled his face.

"Erchen is saying that Yunnan alone cannot solve Yunnan's problems, and it must rely on the strong support of the imperial court." The corners of Zhu Zhen's mouth twitched.

"You just said only three words." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sixth child and snorted: "If you want any support, we will agree except for money." ”

"First of all, all the soldiers and civilians who entered Yunnan stayed in Yunnan to settle down." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "If you get married, let your wife and children go to reunite, and if you are unmarried, you will marry a wife locally." Whoever does it will be rewarded for ploughing cattle, fields, and housing, and will be exempted from tax for ten years! ”

"Of course, if you are married, you can also ask for a little wife, as long as you can do it, you can enjoy the same reward!"

"Now there are more than 350,000 people in Yunnan," Zhu Yuanzhang said when he heard this: "If all of them form families locally, this is 350,000 households, accounting for almost half of Yunnan's population." ”

"Twenty percent is far from enough, to establish a stable regime, the number of Han people must be more than half, so a large number of immigrants from the interior must be made!" Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice:

"However, Yunnan does not yet have the conditions to accept large-scale immigrants, so it is more appropriate to set a small target of 500,000 households in five years."

"Five and a half million households?" Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, in the 'Hongwu Great Migration' with millions at every turn, this population is nothing. It's just that in the past, migrants have migrated between the provinces in the interior, and this is the first time that they have moved to the border en masse.

"Yes, considering the actual situation, the migration of 100,000 households to Yunnan every year should become a national policy, and it should be unswervingly implemented for another 20 years." Zhu Zhen said categorically: "In this way, after 20 years, Yunnan will be no different from Jiangxi Huguang, and will forever become a part of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Well, let's move back five years and see." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly and agreed to Zhu Zhen's request.

"Also, please ask my father to leave Brother Wen Ying in Yunnan to join me in the team." Zhu Zhen asked again.

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his head and said: "I don't need you to say it, we also plan to leave a general to guard Yunnan, Wen Ying is indeed the best candidate." ”
