“…… That's the case. After talking about Mu Ying's plan, Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, my father decreed that there would be ...... outside the three rivers."

"Stop, it's over, isn't it?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded depressedly: "You are taking our will as a life-saving straw, right?" ”

"Erchen definitely didn't mean that!" Zhu Zhen naturally didn't admit it, and shook his head categorically:

"Erchen and Brother Wen Ying just attach great importance to their father's will and hope to implement every article to the letter. Back to the point...... Erchen thought it was just a Tusi Mansion, and if he lost it, he lost it, but he didn't expect his father to still attach so much importance to the land beyond Sanjiang, so I knew that we had misunderstood Shangyi, and it was really damned. ”

Boss Zhu snorted at this time: "Of course you are very wrong, beyond the Sanjiang is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but according to the actual situation, it is necessary to take a more cost-effective way to rule in Outer Yunnan." Do you understand? ”

"Erchen understands now." Zhu Zhen made a mouth and said:

"So as soon as Erchen and Brother Wen Ying were together, he stayed in Yunnan to guard the situation, and Erchen hurried back to explain to his father, so as not to misunderstand us from our father, and even a local chieftain Si Lunfa couldn't beat him."

"......" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by Zhu Zhen's self-justification, and looked the sixth child up and down: "Is this really the case?" ”

"When did the son deceive his father?" Zhu Zhen looked at Boss Zhu with clear eyes, as if he really hadn't lied to the old thief.

Boss Zhu naturally has the ability to demolish him, but parents have filters for their children, especially childhood filters. What's more, for Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ming Dynasty, this set of rhetoric is obviously more decent and more acceptable than the facts.

"Then what's going on with Feng Cheng's defeat? This can't be what you planned, right? Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask with a face.

Zhu Zhen was relieved, with his understanding of the old thief, he knew that once Boss Zhu began to pay attention to the details, it meant that he had accepted this general statement.

"Back to my father, the sons and daughters have nothing to say about this defeat." Zhu Zhen no longer defended at this time, and said honestly:

"Despite such and such reasons, defeat is defeat, so Erchen has demoted him to eight levels in a row, to thousands of households, and made meritorious contributions in front of the army."

"Hmph, I thought you were going to wash the floor for him again." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted in a complicated mood, and finally recognized the treatment of Feng Cheng, and asked:

"How sure are you?"

"Seventy percent sure that he can lure the snake out of the hole, but as long as he can lure out the main force of Si Lunfa, Brother Wen Ying will be ninety percent sure that he will be able to finish his work in one battle!" Zhu Zhen replied categorically.

"It's almost ......" The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth curled slightly, and there were finally signs that the rain had passed and the sky was clear.

Therefore, face-to-face communication is the most important. If Zhu Zhen didn't come on this trip, Boss Zhu would just read the report and think that the situation in Yunnan was going to collapse......

In addition, those officials were alarmist, saying that the king of Chuhai and Dian forcibly left the army and civilians in the tun, and forced his family members to enter Yunnan, which was unpopular. What army is in Yunnan, only knows how to forcibly occupy land, forcibly marry local people as little wives, military discipline is corrupted, naturally quickly degenerate, become vulnerable......

is the so-called accumulation of ruined bones, three people become tigers, even Boss Zhu is not exempt from vulgarity, and unconsciously thinks about Yunnan in erosion. There will be so much anger......

But when he saw his sixth child in person and listened to his work, Boss Zhu knew that he was too worried......

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, he understands that the sixth child knows the severity, even if there are some elements of exaggeration in the sixth child's words, but there is no doubt that the situation in Yunnan is much better than he expected, at least far from the point of erosion......

Everything else is false, and that's the most important thing.

"Then do as you both want. If something goes wrong, you're the only one who asks! Boss Zhu was still as vigorous and resolute as ever, and immediately instructed the prince: "Boss, then order all localities to suspend mobilization......

"Yes......" The prince was about to respond, but Zhu Zhen stopped him:

"Don't mind, father, you have to continue to mobilize! If he had known that the army was not coming, he would not have made a desperate bet! The sixth hurriedly stopped.

"Then I can't accompany you two to act all over the country!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Is it easy to mobilize another 200,000 troops to Yunnan?" ”

"Indeed, if you don't have that need, don't stir up the crowd." The prince thought so, and for the second mobilization for a while, his hair turned white.

"Of course it's necessary!" Zhu Zhen insisted:

"Military considerations are one thing, but more important is the population, the Han people in Yunnan are still too few, less than one-tenth of the natives, and the situation will be unstable."

Saying that, he smiled and said, "Father, eldest brother, help, the more the merrier...... There is no need to mobilize many troops, just give hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Yunnan. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people? Listen to how big that breath is! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Have you settled down the 300,000 people left last year?" Less in this greedy more chewing! ”

"It's really settled!" Speaking of this stubble, Zhu Zhen's eyebrows flew and said: "What about my father and the emperor making trouble in Yunnan when he is a son? I've put all my effort into this! ”

So he asked the eunuch to open the oversized map of Yunnan he brought, and explained to the emperor and the crown prince the achievements of Yunnan in the past two years-

"First of all, we have dredged three passages from Huguang, Sichuan and Guangxi to Yunnan, and in two years, a total of 6,300 miles of new roads have been opened and rebuilt, and they are all of high standards! And in accordance with the will of the emperor, a carriage and a horse post and a courier shop were set up! Now it is no longer difficult to enter Yunnan! ”

"In the next step, we will concentrate our efforts on repairing roads in Yunnan. This year, there are already official connections between the provinces. By this time next year, the states will be able to communicate with each other; By the year after tomorrow, all counties will be able to access the official road! At that time, Yunnan Africa will not only be more convenient to connect with the mainland, but also have a road network throughout the province! ”

"And we set up a fort every sixty miles from Yongning to Dali, set up a military tuntian, and ordered it to be delivered back and forth to pass it on behalf of the post. Now Yunnan's 23 guards, 8 palaces and 18 institutes are distributed in various key places in the province, and have formed a spectacular scene of thousands of tuns! Zhu Zhen pointed to the dense red roads and dense blue garrisons on the map, and said with great pride:

"Today's Yunnan, everywhere is clearing wasteland, everywhere is building roads, everywhere is training soldiers, everywhere is building cities, a hot and thriving, long ago is not the original wild scene!"

"At the beginning, Yunnan could easily accommodate 300,000 Han people, but now after two years of unremitting efforts by all the military and civilians, how can it be worse than at the beginning? Don't say 300,000, even if you add a zero to the back, you can tolerate it! Zhu Zhen blatantly declared.
