The local affairs of the Ming Dynasty in all directions were played to the imperial court by officials from all over the country, and finally some fell into the hands of Zhu Gaochi, according to the officials' notes, Zhu Gaochi understood the current Ming Dynasty.

The situation of the seven western provinces over the years, Mashhad has become the most marginal area in the west of the Ming Dynasty, that is, one of the most important military places in the Ming Dynasty, the migration of military forces, the local has become the gateway of the Ming Dynasty, defending the rear of Mulu, Samarkand and other places.

Jiang Gui and Ren Li, two generals who grew up in the Western Regions, who could serve as the Metropolitan Governor of Mashhad, has become a controversy that has not yet been resolved.

Although there are governors in the seven western provinces, there are several governors and some general soldiers below, at the beginning, because of the situation in the seven western provinces, many military privileges were given, and now the privileges of the rear are gradually recovered, but the Metropolitan Governor of Mashhad still retains many rights.

The final result was that Mulu was the second line of defense, and Samarkand and other areas were converted to form the same three-division system as the mainland, which not only stabilized the situation in the region, but also promoted local economic development, which was caused by the increase in the proportion of Ming people in the local area.

Because there are millions of Ming people, of which more than half are military households, it has played a decisive role in the stability of Ming rule in the local area.

More than half of the military households can provide tens of thousands of troops at most, and the system of serving soldiers in different places, the troops drawn from the hinterland, and the current military strength of the seven western provinces have no force to resist.

However, there are always forces that are not satisfied, either because of interests, or because of the needs of the situation, or because of various cultural demands. However, the area is generally calm, because the Ming Dynasty is strong.

As the military regions with the widest use of troops, the greatest number of wars, and the longest span of time, the combat effectiveness of the seven western provinces has undoubtedly developed rapidly, and it is already a force that is not weaker than that of the Beijing camp.

Several famous generals are from the seven western provinces, as evidenced.

"Ren Li served as the governor of Samarkand, Huo Zhen served as the governor of Mulu, and Jiang Gui was transferred to Goryeo." Zhu Gaochi ended the debate in the military department and said with a clap.

The ministers had no opinion.

The three western ones will be separated, and they will be more integrated into the military system of the interior, which is good for the Ming Dynasty.

Then there is the situation in the South Seas, as well as the transformation of Yungui and the return of the land.

This is an inevitable development, even if the local officials are very opposed.

In the development of Western society in later generations, sociology has become an eye-catching discipline, and even the development of later generations, many of which are based on Western sociology and reformed in combination with their own situation.

Among them, the development of society includes the evolution of social development proposed by Marx and his deeply influenced German philosopher Georg Hegel.

Hunting – nomadic, herding – agrarian societies – the evolutionary process of modern industrial and commercial societies.

Then Yungui's toast system is undoubtedly backward.

The people of Yunnan and Guizhou belong to the Ming Dynasty, whether from the culture or the system, as Yunnan and Guizhou are no longer the border land, the expansion of the economy, the land has become an urgent matter, otherwise it is not conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang.

And Mu Sheng, the key person, his attitude is also very important.

Mu Sheng, who returned to the capital from Yunnan, met with Zhu Gaochi, and said seriously in front of His Royal Highness the Prince: "The minister is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he is absolutely selfless, as long as the court needs it, the minister will obey it." ”

Zhu Gaochi showed a satisfied look.

The Mu family played a key role in Yunnan, even if many children of the Mu family did not succeed in the later period and committed evil in the local area, the overall benefits still outweighed the disadvantages. But now Daming doesn't need the Mu family, the rights of ownership are compressed, and the Mu family is certainly no exception.

Slaves could not be used in the houses of the powerful.

The power of the Ministry of Workers' Union is greater than that of the individual.

Even the subordinates of the top noble Xu Mansion have been disbanded, and they have used helpers, at most they have violated the law by using some maids from the Goryeo Wa Kingdom.

Appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince, after Mu Sheng returned to Yunnan, he cooperated with the local government to change the land and return to the river in various places.

At this time.

Tens of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty have penetrated deep into the land of the Burmese Xuanwei Division, as well as several Xuanwei Divisions on the border with Yunnan, and are expanding and plundering on a large scale, and many Tusi in western Yunnan are also ready to move.

"It is an important political and social reform aimed at reforming the Tusi system into a system of liuguan, further strengthening the central government's management of the local government, and more importantly, bringing benefits to the people."

Mu Sheng's prestige was very high in Yunnan, and he attracted batch after batch of local officials to convey the will of the imperial court.

The local officials were surprised to find that Mu Sheng had no idea of opposing at all, and they needed to know that the Mu family was an existence like the emperor of the soil, and they were willing to give up this wealth and wealth?

Mu Sheng's attitude is very firm, there is no room for the local officials to fantasize, and the local officials who return disappointed, some are helpless, some are willing to accept it, and more people can't accept it.

Tuguan is similar to the existence of slave owners, his rights are not limited, and there is no such idea as Confucianism, so the area ruled by the tuguan is a serfdom system.

Serfs worked the land for generations, were subordinate to the local officials, were exploited and enslaved by them, and lived a serf-like life.

When Yongle was in the seventh year.

In the area of Guizhou, there is a village chief Wei Wanmu to the court, since Chen commanded the forty-seven villages, begging to set up officials, at that time the imperial court because of the establishment of the Xishan Yangdong chief lawsuit, with Wanmu as the tun chief, the so-called forty-seven villages are not all obeyed by him, for example, when Xuande was seven years old, the leader of this place has become Li Ying.

After years of fighting, the local vitality was greatly damaged, and even after Li Ying died, the Ming Dynasty began to place liuguan in the local area and implemented the system of combining soil and flow.

Now the biggest local leader is Li Gui.

He had just defeated a village owner, put a young girl in his arms, drank triumphantly, and rewarded his men with a few girls who had jumped out, as the local officials had always done.

Promote a few leaders from the young people who fought bravely in the tribe, and then reward the girls and houses, motivate them to work hard, and need to guard against them, so the position of the local official with many sons is the most stable, and of course there are sons who kill Lao Tzu.

"You are the official of the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Gui looked at the official who came to question him with contempt.

Ming officials did not speak.

He is not stupid, the local officials in front of him obviously do not take the system of the court in their eyes, they are facing the opponent, and the end is probably beheaded, the Ming Dynasty does not learn from the Han Dynasty, the envoy of the Han Dynasty is afraid that the foreign king will not kill him, tricks to death and cynicism, if the other king can not control his temper, in the end he will be beheaded by the Han army who came to retaliate.

This is also due to the different situation between the Ming and Han dynasties.

The Han Dynasty was a big family, and the Ming Dynasty did not have a family, so since there was no family inheritance of the Han Dynasty, it did not pay attention to that set.

Li Gui saw that the other party was very knowledgeable, laughed, felt that he had a lot of face, even the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to disobey him, in order to show his strength, Li Gui deliberately took the officials of the Ming Dynasty to see his own village.

In the water prison, dozens of shackled prisoners soaked rotten, and urine and sewage were mixed all year round, making the place stinky, and the stinky Ming Dynasty officials almost couldn't breathe.

Seeing the appearance of the Ming Dynasty officials, Li Gui looked down on him more and more.

"What crime did they commit?" The Ming Dynasty officials couldn't bear to ask when they saw Li Gui's private prison.

"They are all people who disobey me, and anyone who disobeys me will end up like this." Li Gui also emphasized: "It's still light here, so no one dares to disobey me." ”

Ming officials stopped talking.

Only the insecure superior needs to rely on extremely cruel means to intimidate people to obey him, so the punishment within the robbers is very cruel, and there are all kinds of criminal laws.

Torture has existed since ancient times, but since the Han Dynasty, torture has been reduced and benevolence has been emphasized, and in the Song Dynasty, it has reached a new level of civilization, and I didn't expect to see it again in this small place.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty endured the contempt in their hearts, passed on the will of the imperial court, and did not care whether the other party complied with it or not, and left after completing the task, but made a ruthless note in the official document reported to the official.

The attitude of the officials of the Ming Dynasty made Li Guizhi proud, and even felt that the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than that.

Li Gui in the mountains didn't know the changes outside.

The mountain is Li Gui's reliance.

The officer has ten thousand soldiers, and I have ten thousand mountains. Relying on the continuous mountains, Li Gui has never been afraid of officers and soldiers, and when he comes too much, he will take people to hide in the mountains, and if he comes less, he will ambush officers and soldiers, which is their tradition since ancient times.

"There is no other way to deal with such thieves than long-term encirclement and suppression, so that they will die without food."

"It is necessary to go to the imperial court, and please allocate grain and grass for the long-term use of the army."

"You also need a steady general and patience."

At last.

The imperial court allocated tens of thousands of troops, plus local troops, and began to encircle and suppress some local officials who disobeyed the will of the imperial court.

However, this time it was different, the officers and soldiers were stationed in dangerous areas, set up checkpoints on major transportation routes, etc., and did not go deep into the mountains to look for rebels.

After a month, two months, three months, and half a year, the officers and men showed no sign of retreating, and many local officials became uneasy in their hearts, and many people saw that something was wrong with their ancestors' actions.

More and more Tusi could no longer hold on because of food, and the largest one was a joint attack on the Ming army by more than a dozen Tuguan.

The Ming army routed the native soldiers with only hand grenades.

Large-scale can't be beaten, small-scale can't get close, the toasts can't break through the encirclement of the Ming army even if they try their best, and they will die when they go out of the mountain, and the Ming army will go into the mountains to search on a small scale from time to time, otherwise the toasts will get food.

Countless supplies passed through the railway, and only a few train drivers were needed to transport them to Guizhou.

The grain harvest in Cochin, under the governance of the Ming Dynasty, is a bumper harvest this year, and the local people can't eat it all, so they are sent back to China in large quantities.

All kinds of liquor are openly manufactured, and more and more famous liquor is brewed and sold all over the world.

The Ming army is not short of food, the food is too much to eat, and the cost of transportation is low, the Ming army has no worries, the most important thing is that the Ming army can fight, no matter how big or small the battle can win, so the Ming army's policy of encirclement and suppression can be maintained for a long time.

Otherwise, the army will not be able to win the war, and no amount of supplies will be useless.

Li Gui's face did not have the arrogance of the beginning, the so-called 100,000 mountains became his cage, and the difference was that the Ming army treated the people preferentially, and more and more news came to the mountains.

In later generations, the Eagle Army went to Afghanistan only for their own interests, and in the end they even abandoned the comprador class that served them, but the Ming army was different, and the people of Yungui belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

That alone is a world of difference.

How peaceful and prosperous the people in the interior are, how envious the people in the mountainous areas are, Li Gui's armed forces have been threatened, and the end of repeated failures has made his prestige lower and lower, and more people are no longer afraid of him, even if he makes the most vicious attitude every time.

In March of the seventeenth year of Yongle, the spring flowers bloomed, Li Gui's subordinates rebelled and killed Li Gui, and the remnants of the people came out of the mountains and chose to surrender to the Ming army, and the Ming army strictly interrogated those who surrendered.

It is very carefully distinguished which are the people who are being coerced, which are the thieves who are fighting for the tiger, etc., and it is precisely because of the harshness of the Ming army that many leaders are unwilling to surrender, otherwise the war would have already ended.

In any case, after more than a year of encirclement and suppression, Yungui's strategy of changing the land and returning to the river has largely advanced, and as more and more rebels are eliminated, the resistance is no longer a climate.

By the summer of the seventeenth year of Yongle, there was no movement, and the Ming army began to retreat in turns, ending the war for nearly two years, and the materials consumed were not massive.

"There are so many people living in the mountains, how can they become rich."

Daming even gave up the governance of the Yellow Flood Area, and moved the population to more prosperous land, not to mention the mountainous areas, Zhang Lian, an official of the Ministry of Industry at that time, was specifically responsible for Yunnan and Guizhou.

He was in his forties, and he had long lost the vigor of his youth, and said to everyone with a smile.

Bonidu Division is short of people, and Nanyang is short of people.

There are large plain areas, suitable for farming, high yields, abundant products, good climate, with the footsteps of the Ming people, a large area of the plains was developed by the Ming people, became a familiar land.

Those areas full of snakes and insects in the deep mountains and old forests were not looked down upon by the Ming people.

After the oral accounts of the officials, many people embarked on the journey in disbelief, seeing the railways and trains for the first time, and the high-rise buildings for the first time, and the outside world turned out to be like this.

Due to the long-term war, the population has withered and the economy has deteriorated, and the Burmese Propaganda Division urgently needs the replenishment of the population to restore local production.

The government provided cattle, farm tools, grain, clothing, rations, salt and other materials, and under the leadership of the officials of each prefecture, the local area was reclaimed in a well-like situation, and the climate and soil were cropped three times a year, and the social environment was stable, and production was quickly restored, and the government was rewarded.

In only one or two years, grain from many areas can already be supplied to the hinterland, which is completely different from the results of the seven western provinces, which still have quite a few areas that need grain supplies from the hinterland.

The construction of the Nanyang Railway has increased the demand for ore, and even Goryeo's mineral output cannot be satisfied.

Either expand the production of minerals in the hinterland, or find nearby mining areas.

The discovery of the New World several years ago off the southern coast of Bonitos has brought back into the spotlight, and it is said that there are an abundance of minerals and an incredible number of open-pit mines.

In the past, because of the transportation capacity of ships, people did not pay attention to it, but now even the coal mines of Goryeo have become indispensable objects of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the New World, which is close to Bonitosi.

The merchants did it first. (End of chapter)
