"So I don't have to worry about anything, I can do it boldly and boldly, what the Emperor said?"

Somewhere in Guangxi, Li Xiao had just resolved a rebellion, and Jiang Kangming, who had come to reply, brought the news back.

Jiang Kangming arched his hand and said: "That's right, the Emperor Taishang trusts you very much in the head of the family, even if he knows about your formation of a private army, he laughs at it, and he doesn't mean to be angry." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the formation of a private army was a major crime to exterminate the nine clans.

What, my nine clans contain Zhu Yuanzhang himself?

Oh, that's fine

Li Xiao nodded, and it seemed that even if he left for a while, his position in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was still unshakable.

During this time, Li Xiao instructed Li Jinglong to go to various places in Nanzhili to carry out forced demolitions, and he himself took his private army to quell the rebellion everywhere.

The efficiency of counterinsurgency was very high, a thousand cavalry galloped fast horses, came and went like the wind, armed with automatic rifles, coupled with modern fighting methods, and everywhere was crushed.

The reason why it is fast is because there is no need for any baggage, Li Xiao's cavalry uses the best sweat and blood horses, which can travel thousands of miles a day, and bring canned dry food for use on the road, and go to the town and can be replenished at any time.

Li Xiao looked at the map and asked, "How many rebellions are still unresolved?" ”

Chang Yingwu pointed to the map and said: "The scout is coming, there are two in Guangxi, one in Annan has been dealt with by Mu Ying, and then there are three in Guizhou and two in Xiangxi, and these rebellions are all local Tusi." ”

"Several rebellions are toasts." Li Xiao muttered: "It seems that the matter of changing the land and returning to the river is also going to be put on the agenda." ”

The so-called Tusi is the Tusi system of the Ming Dynasty, this system was handed down in the Yuan Dynasty, the Tusi system is a means of encompassing the local leaders in the southwestern border areas that the central government is unable to take into account, "governing the people with local officials", recognizing the hereditary status of the leaders of various ethnic minorities, giving them official titles, in order to carry out indirect rule, the imperial edict of the central court has not been able to be truly implemented.

Under the rule of Tusi, the land and the people were hereditary owned by the Tusi, and the Tusi formed a sphere of influence, and the judicial, financial, administrative, and military affairs could be autonomous, and the local people could take what they wanted, and they had all the power of life and death, except for not being able to ascend the throne and be the emperor, everything else was even compared with the emperor, and only needed to pay a meager tax to the imperial court symbolically.

These Tusi are actually the local emperors, and they are not so strong in their belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and they often do something, and the imperial court will often send troops to suppress it in order to quell the matter, but the terrain in these places is mostly dominated by mountains and pelvises, and the local people enter the mountains and forests, and the traces are difficult to find, and eventually the imperial court will issue benefits to appease them.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government implemented the policy of changing the land and returning it to the stream, and vigorously promoted the "Confucianization" of the Tusi region while taking tough military measures such as garrisoning, garrisoning, repairing borders, and building cards.

These include the establishment of a Confucian education system through the establishment of government schools, academies, and Yixue, the granting of subsidies to ethnic minority scholars and preferential places for imperial examinations, attaching importance to the sacrifices of Confucian sages, prohibiting many religious sacrificial activities and customs of the Miao people, and implementing the concepts of loyalty and filial piety and righteousness.

After the land was reformed and reverted, the country almost became a unity in terms of culture and sense of belonging.

At present, the construction of Jianzhou is actually a change of land and return to the stream.

It seems that the southern Tusi should also be reformed and returned to the stream, and the Ming Dynasty will become a truly unified dynasty.

Li Xiao said with a smile: "It seems that these toasts rebelled at the same time, and there were flintlock pistols in their hands, it must have been the ghost of Mr. Liang, originally his plan was to make the entire Nanzhili chaotic, and then rebel in various places, so that we were overwhelmed and unable to deal with it, and finally compromised, and he achieved his goal from it." But they didn't expect that the families of Nanzhili did not rebel in a big way, but these toasts dared to fight, but it was not difficult to exterminate, after all, we had to be invincible. ”

Chang Yingwu said angrily: "This Mr. Liang is really a pest, he must be exterminated." ”

Li Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, King Zhao has already gone to investigate this matter, and he will definitely be able to find out." ”

As he was talking, suddenly a subordinate came down to report, and King Zhao asked to see him.

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Not long after, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, entered the room.

"Brother-in-law!" Zhu Gaosui walked over with a solemn expression and said, "I found it!" ”

At this time, Zhu Gaosui was wearing unusual clothes, wearing clothes that were obviously worn by ethnic minorities in Yunnan, which looked a little like the clothes of the Dai people.

The clothes on Zhu Gaosui's body were somewhat funny, and some of them were gray-faced, and there was a thick beard hanging on his lips, like a disguise technique.

Li Xiao couldn't help laughing and quipped: "Hahaha, Gao Sui, why do you wear this, it fits perfectly." ”

Zhu Gaosui took a look at his clothes, and then smiled helplessly: "It's not to investigate the so-called Mr. Liang, I have already found out, shocking news!" Absolutely awesome! ”

Zhu Gaosui, who was ordered to investigate before, traveled thousands of miles to go deep into the enemy's nest in order to track down the news, and almost died, but with his intelligence, he found out the news without danger.

"Gao Sui, I've worked hard for you, it seems that you have suffered a lot on this trip."

Li Xiao hurriedly helped Zhu Gaosui to the chair and poured the tea himself, Zhu Gaosui took a sip of tea before he spoke: "Thank you, brother-in-law." ”

Li Xiao said with concern: "What is this thanks, it should be me to thank you, there is no danger to your life, right?" ”

Zhu Gaosui smiled: "I almost couldn't come back, but fortunately, there was no danger. Let's get down to business."

Saying that, Zhu Gaosui's eyes fell on Chang Yingwu's body, which meant that this matter was very important, and others didn't have to listen.

"Chang Yingwu, you step aside for the time being."

Li Xiao waved his hand.

Chang Yingwu arched and retreated.

The room was empty, and Zhu Gaosui whispered: "Brother-in-law, I have figured out the ins and outs, all of this is the ghost of two people." ”

Li Xiao sat down slowly, looked at Zhu Gaosui, and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

Zhu Gaosui snorted, and then said: "The first person is Lan Bin, the son of Lan Yu, who was rescued many years ago, this person was rescued by a dark web organization, this dark web is an assassination organization privately cultivated by Lan Yu, and it has Tiangang, Shura, Impermanence, and Tengu, these four people are superb in martial arts, and each has its own strengths. They plundered babies everywhere and cut out their tongues and began to train assassins from an early age, and the assassins you intercepted last time in Nanjing City, brother-in-law, were from them. In addition, the tax silver was robbed many years ago, and they were the ghosts who did it, and after getting the tax money, they fled to Annan to secretly develop their power. ”

"I see." Li Xiao also completely figured out the reason, and said, "Who is the other person?" ”

"You would never think of another brother-in-law."

Zhu Gaosui paused and continued: "It's Zhu Yunxi under your nose!" ”

"What ???"

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's three words, Li Xiao was very surprised: "Zhu Yunxi? Isn't he already dead? And during that time in the capital, there was nothing abnormal in his performance, and he filmed movies with Zhu Yunwen all day long. ”

"Don't say brother-in-law, you're surprised, when I learned the news, I was very surprised, this Zhu Yunxi even deceived me, and when I was in the capital, I didn't find anything strange about him."

The corners of Zhu Gaosui's mouth pulled slightly: "Zhu Yunxi is really strange, obviously he has been in the prison for nearly ten years, but after he came out, not only did he not become demented, but the dementia on the surface was all pretended, and he actually kept his head in obscurity and concealed it from everyone, in fact, he did not have anything unusual on the surface of the capital, but secretly contacted Tiangang in private, and these conspiracy layouts in Nanjing were all proposed by Zhu Yunxi." He secretly stole the means of governing the city from his brother-in-law in Beijing, and then secretly took away the craftsman of the flintlock pistol, which is the reason why the flintlock pistol was lost, originally he planned to make the world chaotic, and then take the opportunity to seize Hanzhong in order to seek the world. ”

Li Xiao frowned slightly: "What about now?" ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "Now Zhu Yunxi finds that he is definitely not your opponent. Originally, he thought that with the flintlock pistol, he could bridge the gap between the army and the generals, but the advent of the automatic rifle broke his plan. Therefore, he gave up this idea, and now plans to continue south with his forces, to Mubang, Burma and other places, they are trying to establish their own dynasty, as if they plan to restore the country in Burma and other places under the banner of Dali. ”

Li Xiao: "???? ”

This brain circuit made Li Xiao a little stunned for a while.

Mupang, Myanmar and other places are actually the future Myanmar.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the 30 armies of the Ming Dynasty eliminated the remnants of the Liang King and Dali Kingdom in Yunnan, and set up the Yunnan Political Envoy Division and the Yunnan Capital Division, stationed 200,000 troops.

Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty can be divided into two parts, one part was the area under actual control, known as "Neiyi".

The other part is the region of Burma that nominally inherited the Yuan Dynasty, which has no actual control, no soldiers and soldiers stationed, and no official and half-post dispatched, called "Waiyi".

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the canonized "Waiyi" Tusi had 4 Xuanwei Divisions in Burma, Cheli, Laos, and 5 Tufu in Mubang, Mengyang, Mengding, Dahou, and Nandian.

In fact, these places were not under the control of the Ming Dynasty, they were all small independent states, and the governors of these Tusi actually called themselves kings.

King Taungoo was officially called the King of Burma in 1531 and established the Taungoo Dynasty, and then successively annexed small kingdoms such as Bago, Awa, Sibo, Manmo, Mongyang, Mongmi, Mon Nai, and Yangjuni, and basically unified the Burma region by 1554.

The war between the Ming Dynasty and Burma lasted for decades, and the final result was that Taungoo unified the whole of Burma and occupied half of the Indochina Peninsula.

Originally, the Yuan Dynasty had advanced its territory to the periphery of the Indian Ocean, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty failed to control this area and was eventually unified by the Donghu Dynasty.

The Donghu Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty fought again, which greatly reduced the area of Yunnan.

After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Mubang and other areas were recovered, but they were still occupied by the British at the end of the period.

Li Xiao picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "Isn't the news from this Zhu Yunxi that he has fallen off the cliff and died?" The emperor's grandfather also buried him personally, impossible, how did he come back to life?? ”

Zhu Gaosui smiled and said: "This is the masterpiece of that dark web tengu, this person is good at this technique, hiding from the world, the one who died is a substitute for the dead, in the case of falling into a blur of flesh and blood, disguised as Zhu Yunxi, and even the emperor's grandfather was deceived." ”

Li Xiao was surprised: "It's amazing, even a shrewd person like the emperor's grandfather can deceive the past, hide from the world, and now he actually appears in Annan, and he plans to establish a country by himself, this is really a clever plan." It is surprising that Zhu Yunxi did not show such intelligence ten years ago, and how he suddenly became so powerful. ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "I'm also curious about this, Zhu Yunxi seems to have suddenly opened his mind, if he was so powerful ten years ago, he wouldn't have gone to prison. Brother-in-law, this matter should be reported to the emperor's grandfather and eldest brother as soon as possible, and the imperial court must send troops to exterminate it in order to eliminate future troubles. ”

"No"

Li Xiao waved his hand: "Let me think about it." ”

Li Xiao felt that it would be a good thing if Myanmar could be completely incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But obviously, the imperial court does not have so much energy to do this now.

And from this period of time, it seems that this Zhu Yunxi has some ability.

The most important thing is that he has stolen his own governance methods, and he has a flintlock pistol, so he can't really do it!

Although Zhu Yunxi is a traitor, he is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty after all.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao smiled and said, "Gao Sui, do you think Zhu Yunxi can rule the southern Burma region and establish a dynasty?" ”

Zhu Gaosui thought for a while and said: "Lan Bin has the ability to lead the army to fight, Zhu Yunxi has the ability to strategize, plus their dark web organization, and the big weapon flintlock pistol, I'm afraid they can really do this!" ”

"Hahahaha." Li Xiao said: "Since this is the case, then you don't need to tell anyone about this matter, hide it, and let them toss." ”

Zhu Gaosui was puzzled: "Why? Is it necessary to let this scourge go unpunished? When he rules over there, he will be a great enemy to me on the frontier. ”

"Definitely." Li Xiao said with a smile: "Looking at Kyushu from a hundred feet, the land of the predecessors will be collected by the future." Descendants rejoice after receiving it, and there are even more people who receive it behind. ”

"Brother-in-law means"

Zhu Gaosui's eyes lit up, and he said, "Wait for the dynasty that Lan Bin, Zhu Yunxi and others have worked so hard to establish, and I will accept it again?" But brother-in-law, aren't you afraid that the tail will not fall off and will not be able to be controlled? ”

Li Xiao nodded: "It's okay, the situation over there is complicated, they want to really rule, it is impossible to do it without twenty years, twenty years later, when they rule over there and build the Dali Kingdom, my Ming Dynasty can enjoy the benefits of the fisherman and directly include it in the bag." At that time, Lan Bin and Lan Hao'er were almost old, and in my dynasty, there were excellent juniors like Zhu Zhanji! ”

Of course, there is also Li Xiao himself.

Who can survive their own immortality?

"Wonderful!" Zhu Gaosui immediately agreed, and said with a wicked smile: "Okay, then the fact that Lan Bin and Zhu Yunxi are still alive will be concealed for the time being, God knows that you know and I know."

Li Xiao nodded: "Okay, Gao Sui, you have done a good job in this matter, and then help me rehabilitate together, I will divide your five hundred cavalry, and our soldiers will be divided into two roads, and quickly suppress the rebellion in various places." ”

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, is also a capable general, and he showed his military strength in the expedition of the Wa Kingdom.

Zhu Gaosui arched his hand: "Take the order!" ”

That's it.

Li Xiao's modern automatic rifle cavalry unit divided into two routes and began to go to various places to quell the rebellion.

In less than a month, the rebellion was completely suppressed, and the speed was extremely fast.

And Zhu Yunxi's side also got his wish, taking the opportunity to Li Xiao had no time to take care of him, he left Annan with a large army, went to Mubang and other places in the south of Nengnan, and began to conquer under the banner of Dali

And Nanzhili and other places.

After January, with the suppression of Li Jinglong's troops everywhere, all the families were forced to compromise.

The yamen of the dormitory area has been fully implemented and built in every village.

This is the first step to success, with a base, the next step is to start taking over the control in full!
