After leaving Puding Fort, Zhu Zhen inspected Pu'an Village again. Because of its important geographical location, the Ming Dynasty also set up a general security guard here, stationed an army of 3,000 people.

Of course, the prince has to treat everyone equally, and he also solves the marriage problem for Pu Anwei's singles.

And there is no need to call, the head of the Pu'an Department is waiting in front of his eyes.

Because the Pu'an Ministry did not hide in the mountains like the Puding Ministry, but still lived in the Pu'an village. Living next to the Ming army.

It's just that the original leader of the Pu'an tribe, Dangxiong, was seriously injured in the battle last year, and died not long after he returned, and now it is his son Heixiong who is serving as Tho Mu.

Young people know more about current affairs than old people, and they know better who their subordinates are today. And the situation of the Ministry of General Security is not good...... In the first battle of last year, although they did not lose as much as the Puding Department, they also lost nearly half of the men, and they also put Tho Mu in.

Pingxiong is young and young, he can't control the field at all, and the status of the Pu'an Department is shaky, and he is about to be demoted from a hegemon to an ordinary toast, so he caught the olive branch thrown by the prince and didn't let go.

Zhu Zhen went all the way and was busy all the way, focusing on urging Tusi to build roads where there was no Ming army. In addition to urging Tusi to build roads, where there are Ming troops, they also have to pull fiber to protect the media.

Until he left Qujing and came to Songmeng Prefecture......

Because there are basically no natives in the entire Songmeng Prefecture.

Although the government government has not been restored, the garrison of the state city has been directly upgraded from a hundred households to a guard station, and a neatly loaded army of 5,000 troops is stationed here!

Chen Jun, the commander of the Yunnan Left Guard, welcomed His Royal Highness back to Yunnan outside the city.

"Don't go into the city first, go and worship He Zhizhou and Tang Baihu, and then they will talk." Zhu Zhen said with a solemn expression.

"Yes." Chen Jun led Zhu Zhen to a hill not far from the city gate.

There are new tombs, all facing the direction of their hometown.

Chen Jun led Zhu Zhen to the two largest tablets, and saw that they were written on them:

'The tomb of the Ming Dynasty and the Song League';

'The tomb of the Tang Hundred Households of the Song League of the Ming Dynasty'.

The monument erected by the warriors is not beautiful, but there is a thick tragedy in the roughness, and it looks more impactful.

Zhu Zhen put incense on the deceased, burned paper, and then stood in front of the tomb and fell into deep thought.

"The brethren are all good, and in the end there is no one of them." Chen Jun said softly from the side: "When they collected the corpses, none of the bodies were confined......

Zhu Zhen nodded and sighed: "Such a tragedy must not happen again......"

"Please rest assured!" Chen Jun hurriedly packed the ticket and said: "Kunming Zuowei is always ready, whoever dares to make trouble will definitely make him to pieces!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw several cavalrymen with red flags on their backs, galloping from the direction of Yunnan.

Deng Duo hurriedly stepped forward to intercept and interrogate, and soon ran to deliver a letter.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"Kunming urgent," Deng Duo handed over a military report.

Zhu Zhen took it and saw that it was a report from the Yunnan Metropolitan Division - it was said that the Zhuyi of Yongchang Mansion had elected the former local official Gao as the leader on the grounds of 'not caring for the public', and seduced Luchuan Wang Silunfa to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack, and the Yongchang City was broken, and the Yongchang Wei army was annihilated, and the commander made Wang Zhen capture alive, and Si Lun sent all his troops to the city......"

After he read it quickly, he crumpled the military newspaper into a ball, gritted his teeth and said, "Here you go again?!" What a lawlessness! ”

After speaking, he calmed down and said to Chen Jun on the side: "Commander Chen, this king has to go back to Kunming quickly, I won't bother this time, and I will come to see you next year!" ”

"Yes, His Highness here just rest assured, he will never come out of the basket again!" Chen Jun hurriedly responded.

"Okay." Zhu Zhen patted him on the shoulder and advised, "There is something you remember clearly." ”

"Your Highness, please." Chen Jun was busy listening.

"First, Songmeng is located in the center of the post road from Qujing to Kunming, the location is very important, and Songmeng dam can be ranked sixth in the whole Yunnan, and it is the famous 'granary of central Yunnan'......"

"Really?" Chen Jun was a little surprised, but he had never heard of the title of 'granary of central Yunnan'.

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded, he estimated that the name of Songmeng's 'granary of central Yunnan' had not yet been called, but it didn't matter, he would build it himself.

"So in the future, Songmeng is a key area for us to immigrate from the mainland, and the first batch of immigrants will arrive as soon as next year, so you have to take the initiative to make preparations, such as building a batch of houses first, preparing farm tools, etc......." He put his hand on Chen Jun's shoulder and admonished:

"The frontier is not as good as the interior, and there are barbarians everywhere in sight, if we don't change this situation, we will be like a tree without roots, water without a source, and it will not be able to take root in Yunnan."

"So the importance of migration cannot be overstated, and migration is the key to our ability to put down roots in Yunnan. Therefore, we must protect them, help them as much as possible, and never bully them. ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Chen Jun nodded.

"You see, you have to tell the soldiers repeatedly, let them love the immigrants and help them as much as possible. Once you've settled in, you'll be much better off and you'll not be as isolated as you are now. If you do this well, it will be a great achievement, and this king will definitely give you credit. ”

"Please rest assured, the last general remembers!" Chen Jun responded again.

~~

After telling Chen Jun, Zhu Zhen rushed to Kunming on a flying horse.

Although he was in a hurry, he stopped when he passed by Dabanqiao and paid respects to the soldiers who died in the last month's blocking war.

Looking at the bloodstained slate bridge, as well as the remaining military camps and battlefields on both sides of the bridge, Zhu Zhen once again felt a great responsibility.

We must reverse the bad situation in Yunnan as soon as possible, otherwise how to build roads, how to set up officials, and how to immigrate? Nothing can be done without a safe environment!

Zhu Zhen buried the grand blueprint of opening up the territory back to the bottom of his heart, and now he just wants to do a good job in Yunnan wholeheartedly!

He held a wreath made of white chrysanthemums in both hands, hung it solemnly on the railing of the big banqiao, and then turned around and got on his horse and went straight to Kunming City.

On the way, I met Feng Cheng, Xie Xiong, Pan Yuanming and others who came out of the city to greet them.

"Welcome back to Kunming!" Feng Cheng hurriedly led the crowd to dismount and kneel on one knee.

"Everyone, please get up." Zhu Zhen rode on the horse and said with a serious expression: "If you have anything to say, let's go back to the city." ”

"Yes!" Seeing the prince who was always happy, with half a smile on his face, Feng Cheng's heart jumped suddenly. The secret passage is broken, and it seems that you can't run away with a scolding.

But fortunately, His Royal Highness still saved face for them, and scolded them without being in public. Everyone was secretly grateful, got up and got on their horses, and returned to his loyal Kunming City with His Highness in their arms.
