Chapter 109: Layout Success
"The four rebellions, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Xiping will not be able to exterminate them all for a while......"
"Wei Guogong should have left early......
"Not only that, it seems that we still have to transfer troops from Sichuan and Huguang to quell the rebellion, Yunnan military households have fought three battles and seven tuns, and there are only less than 50,000 border soldiers."
"Let's see what His Majesty has to say......"
In the Wuying Palace, dozens of civil and military officials from the six departments, the six sections, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and other places who were urgently summoned discussed the rebellion in Yunnan in the main hall.
Their voices were not too loud, but they could still reach the side halls.
In that side hall, Zhu Yuanzhang had just listened to Zhu Gaoxu's advice on the matter of pacifying the widow from Li Jinglong.
In Pingwei, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Gaoxu's kid had a lot of ideas and more eyes, so he didn't have any suggestions, but just explained to Li Jinglong:
"When the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites come back from North Korea, you will make a decision and think about how to pacify the Japanese."
"Yes......" Li Jinglong responded, but he was worried about the news of the Yunnan rebellion just now.
"Grandpa, I've already given you the steps, so what are you going to do now......"
Changru, a thirty-year-old soldier of the Ministry of War, stood up, and Zhu Yuanzhang also let him go up to his heart's content.
"This ......" The two soldiers looked at each other, they naturally knew that Wei Guogong was the uncle of His Royal Highness, but they also knew that this was not in accordance with the rules.
"Uncle?"
"For these toasts, the best way is to capture their leaders, to lure people, to fill the leader's treasury and send it to the soldiers as a reward, and to give the land under the leader's command to the local people to buy people's hearts."
"According to the report of the three divisions, although there are tens of thousands of Tusi troops in this rebellion, they are far apart after all."
"The Ministry of Ministers and Households, Shangshu Yu Xinqi ......"
This military attache has thick eyebrows, a serious mustache, a high nose and long eyes, and an unsmiling appearance that seems to have the words 'do not approach the living' written on his face.
Although Yu Xin's words are not detailed enough to divide interests, at least the general direction is the direction that everyone is thinking.
"The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households drew up a charter, and 20,000 civilian households were selected from the three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian as military households, and stationed in Yongchang, Yuanjiang, Lin'an, and other places."
After the end of the war, many relatives and friends of the southwestern people who were organized by the Qi people died on the battlefield, and they naturally hated the military households in their hearts.
"Let's go!"
Although Song Sheng has experienced a hundred battles, after all, he has been fighting in the north and has never fought in the southwest.
In the case of the generals in the north, maybe Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi and others don't have to die.
It's just that he is the only one who can face the rebellion of Yunnan Tusi so plainly, and it seems that Xu Huizu, who walked out of the Wuying Palace, is worried.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live......
Now Yunnan Tusi is greedy for gold and silver mines and rebels, which just responds to their ideas.
It seems that in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this seemingly huge rebellion will not be long before it will be put down by the Ming army.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Behind the door, after listening to everything Xu Huizu said, Zhu Gaoxu was surprised not only by the Yunnan rebellion, but also by the attitude of the ministers in the temple towards Yunnan.
He silently recited this string of names in his heart, and was a little happy in his heart: "If you can drag them in Yunnan, then things will be much easier." ”
Li Jinglong glanced at the direction of Xu Huizu's departure before leaving, and when he saw him walking towards the front guard of the government army, he knew everything in his heart.
Song Sheng didn't care about this, after all, although Xu Huizu didn't have any outstanding military exploits, after all, he had followed King Yan's northern expedition to patrol the border several times, and he was not a person who didn't know how to fight, and when he couldn't think of a good way, he would naturally use his own method.
"The Minister's Decree ......"
His mine map really changed the attitude of the literati towards Yunnan.
In the main hall of Wuying, accompanied by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen and Li Jinglong, the hundred officials who were still talking to each other a second immediately changed their posture, knelt down respectfully, and bowed five times and three times.
In their opinion, the post of secretary of the military department is just a change of lights by the river, and no one can stay for a long time, and Ru Yu is no exception.
Seeing them enter the side hall, Zhu Gaochi and the three of them got up one after another, and sat down happily after seeing the two return to their positions.
Zhu Gaoxu put away his smiling face, his eyes flashed while he was calm, as if he had expected this day a long time ago.
On the contrary, although Li Jinglong was discussing with Yuan Hong how to calm down, his eyes were looking at Xu Huizu from time to time.
"We seconded ......"
Once the two sides are opposed, it is easy to obtain information.
Although Li Jinglong had not talked to Zhu Gaoxu about Yunnan, his intuition told him that that kid's view of Yunnan was probably not inferior to that of veterans such as Guo Ying and Geng Bingwen.
Use Lao Zhu's hand to solve the 578 Tusi in Yunnan, and deter Southeast Asian countries by the way.
On the golden platform, he didn't see the picture he wanted to see, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little bored, as for Yu Xin and Ru Yu's opinions, they were good, but he still needed to add something.
Since coming to this Wuying Palace, as they have dealt with more and more, they themselves have become more and more affected.
20,000 households, this is nearly 100,000 people, in normal times, the ministers would definitely argue, but now they are facing Yunnan, which has doubled in value, which makes it difficult for them to bargain.
Now in Nanjing, only Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, and Guo Ying are familiar with the southwest, but Guo Ying has been resting from the wind and cold these days, and Fu Youde and Feng Sheng can't see guests.
Not only Yunnan and Sanxuan Liuwei's Tusi, I'm afraid that Annan next door is also difficult to settle down, perhaps because of this, there is a rebellion by Ning Yuan.
"Get up, I've heard everything about Yunnan, tell me what you and others think......
If the previous temple literati simply wanted to use Yunnan to protect Sichuan, then now Yunnan is their money bag.
"Ministers receive orders......"
"Then I'll go, and I'll have someone send you some rice and cotton tomorrow." Xu Huizu breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he was choked by Zhu Gaoxu's words.
At first, he didn't know that there were still 587 Tusi in Yunnan in the early Ming Dynasty, and he was only considered to be the most powerful in the Luchuan Dynasty.
"The matter of Yunnan, Song Yishi is generally not wrong, but it should be noted that Yunnan is not better than the north, the local mountains and forests and the terrain is complex, the overall terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast."
After talking about business, Xu Huizu also talked about Zhu Gaoxu's current situation: "I am going to Yunnan, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for three or five years, you are in Nanjing and stay alive, don't continue to make trouble......
However, regardless of the situation in Yunnan, in short, the local interests are entangled and complex, and the Tusi ethnic groups are different, so it is easy for rebellions to break out.
"It is true that we should find out the people first, and then choose the best hands to put down the rebellion." Yuan Hong gave an evaluation based on his own experience, but Song Sheng, who was younger than him, spoke boldly:
Such a split of power allowed the military power to be firmly grasped in the hands of the emperor personally, and at the same time, the civil and military divisions were also used to make the five military governors and military departments constantly compete.
"Do what you want, but there are only more than 140,000 military households in Yunnan, and even if you add the military households that have moved this year, there are only 150,000, which is really too small."
"Among the local officials in this rebellion, Yuezhou Weitumu Azi and Guangnan Nong Zhenyou were the most culprit, while Ning Yuan Daobai was attached to Annan to provoke."
Yunnan will become a quagmire, and it will be difficult for the Ming army trapped in it to get out of trouble, and this is the situation that Zhu Gaoxu wants.
He couldn't help but look at his grandfather, but saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was still as plain as before, and discussed the matter of peace with Li Jinglong.
It was only half an hour before Xu Huizu's carriage appeared in the front guard of the Fu Army, and even stopped at the back door of Zhu Gaoxu's courtyard.
Such a mentality is that even Xu Huizu, Li Jinglong and others have never had, and I am afraid that only such a mentality can be worthy of the founding king of the Ming Dynasty.
"To deal with Tumu Azi, it is best to hand him over to the Marquis of Xiping, and let the Marquis of Xiping lead the troops and horses in Kunming, Qujing and other places to quell the rebellion."
Xu Huizu did not directly respond to Song Sheng's thoughts, but persuaded him to go back and pack his things first.
It's a pity that they are only the eldest after all, and even if they go further, they are just princes, too far away from that throne......
Although the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies encountered the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case, the Huaixi Xungui faction was still strong, because they had enough military merit in their hands, which was not possessed by the Wenchen who could not lead the army.
Song Sheng didn't say anything, and Yuan Hong naturally wouldn't say anything, but at the moment he was more anxious about pacifying the widows, so he was discussing with Li Jinglong how to pacify the widows.
Looking at their backs, the three sons showed envious looks.
Everyone walked out of the Xihua Gate with their own concerns, got into the carriage and scattered.
Song Sheng has experienced a hundred battles, and he knows very well that if Da Ming only dares to knead soft persimmons, then the powerful toast will stiffen his waist.
As for the money bags, this group of hypocritical literati took it more seriously than anyone else, otherwise they would not have supported Zhu Yuanzhang to emigrate 20,000 families from the southeast to Yunnan.
Yu Xin and Zhai Shanzhi responded, and Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Ru Yu, Li Jinglong, and Xu Huizu when they saw this.
"You let Gao Xu come to the back door, and I'll talk to him across the door."
Having said that, Xu Huizu also knew that he couldn't persuade Zhu Gaoxu, so he sighed and said: "Even if there is something, it is best to discuss it with me, and the correspondence will take up to half a month." ”
Because it was winter, the doors and windows were closed, and Zhu Gaoxu finally didn't have to worry about Jinyiwei seeing his actions, so he relaxed.
Because he couldn't meet Zhu Gaochu without Zhu Yuanzhang's consent, but he also knew that the emperor's grounding of Zhu Gaochu was very light, so after he got out of the carriage, he explained to the two small flag soldiers at the back door:
On the contrary, if every time the Toast rebels and a strong attack is picked to pacify, then the rest of the small Toasts will only surrender after the big Toast collapses.
"It's really gone......" Listening to the sound of the carriage going away, Zhu Gaoxu muttered to himself, and then turned around with his hands behind his back and left the back door humming a small song, during which he touched Chiyu's forehead when passing by the stable.
"Accurate!"
Now Zhu Gaoxu poked these things out at once, and it happened that the strength of Yunnan Tusi was still at the peak of history.
The Ministry of War, which was very embarrassing in the early Ming Dynasty, was actually a yamen deliberately set up by Zhu Yuanzhang to restrain the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
With his permission, the officials who got up also stepped forward to express their opinions as soon as they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
"The minister thinks that Yunnan is related to the safety of the southwest, and the 29 gold, silver and copper mines in Yunnan are rich and noble, especially the copper mines are lacking in the national dynasty, and it is necessary to mint money, so he should quickly send troops into Yunnan to quell the ......rebellion as soon as possible."
Xu Huizu finished talking about what was happening in Yunnan, and then asked Zhu Gaoxu:
Although the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces has the functions of commanding the troops, managing the tuntian, taking charge of military registration, and selecting generals, the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces does not have the power to dispatch troops.
Regarding Zhu Gaoxu's arrangement, Xu Huizu frowned slightly after hearing this, but finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and draw up a charter for this matter." ”
Sometimes Zhu Yunwen admires his grandfather's mentality of not changing the color of Mount Tai collapsed, because he couldn't do it, so he admired it.
Even if some of them have not been discovered, they are far stronger than at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"Song Sheng... Qu Neng... Gu Cheng... He Fu... Mu Chun ......"
After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Xu Huizu responded, and a military attache in his early fifties behind him also raised his hand.
Ru Yu's mind was not on the table, but everyone could see that the officials of the six ministries did not stop it, but actively dissociated.
After whispering 'go home', Cao Guogong's carriage started to take him back to the mansion.
In the ranks of military attachés, Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu are the main positions, followed by Yuan Hong, Song Sheng and several others.
Zhu Gaoxu tentatively asked behind the door, Xu Huizu, who was standing in front of the door, also glanced at the small flag soldier on duty next to him, and the soldier left with interest, and Xu Huizu stepped forward and told Zhu Gaoxu about Yunnan through the door: "Yunnan ......"
The latter three had never seen such a battle, and Zhu Yunwen of the former was worried that the rebellion would last for a long time, which would affect the mining of gold, silver and copper mines in Yunnan.
How many silver mines are there in Yunnan, Song Yingxing at the end of the Ming Dynasty said when talking about the production of silver mines in the Ming Dynasty: "It was born in the eight provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, Guizhou, Sichuan, Henan, and Shaanxi, and it is less than half of Yunnan." ”
During the Hongwu period, Guizhou had not yet set up a province, and some of them were set up in the fifteenth year of Hongwu to command the envoys of Guizhou, who were responsible for the management of the health posts in Guizhou.
Therefore, if you want to successfully mine these gold, silver and copper mines, you must send enough troops to sit in Yunnan, and the previous 140,000 military households can only draw less than 50,000 soldiers, while the Tusi involved in Yunnan has hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
He didn't think that what Song Sheng said was wrong, but he instinctively thought of Zhu Gaoxu.
After a while, Xu Huizu heard the familiar footsteps.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Ministers and Soldiers, Shangshu Ru Yu Qi ......"
In front of them, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Yunwen to Jintai, and Li Jinglong entered the minister's class.
"Although there are many military households in Yunnan, there are not many soldiers, and the three divisions of Huguang, Sichuan, and Guangxi each sent 10,000 troops, which were controlled by the Duke of Wei."
Not only him, but also four sons such as Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Jixi, and Zhu Shangbing were also disturbed by the rebellion in Yunnan.
It can produce more than 2 million pieces of gold, silver and copper ore every year, and its value is self-evident, you must know that even if Japan next door has just completed reunification, its financial income is only more than 3 million yuan.
When they left, Zhu Yuanzhang had already returned to the side hall with Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yuanzhang gestured to flatten his body, and his eyes saw Xu Huizu who was side by side with Li Jinglong.
Xu Huizu believed in Song Sheng more, and when he came to ask Zhu Gaoxu, he just wanted to make sure that it was correct.
"Don't bother, uncle, you can give me a discount!"
"What do you think, as Song Yishi said?"
Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu chatted, and Xu Huizu also took the opportunity to change the topic to win over the relationship with Song Sheng, turned to look at Song Sheng and Yuan Hongdao: "What do Yuan Dudu and Song Huizu think?" ”
"I see." Zhu Gaoxu, who was behind the door, listened to Xu Huizu's words, and could only respond helplessly.
If you add Luchuan, Myanmar and other three Xuan and six comfort toasts, this number can be multiplied several times.
After thinking about it, Xu Huizu thought of his nephew, Zhu Gaoxu, who guided him and achieved good results.
In terms of qi cultivation kung fu, he is still far behind the other party.
As for the surveillance that Ru Yu wanted, this was just as they wished, after all, the Huaixi Xungui still remained strong after several blood exchanges, and they also had to show weakness to reduce the emperor's fear of them.
The military department has the power to appoint and dismiss generals, promote and train the army, but it cannot command the army to fight wars.
It can be seen that in the late Ming Dynasty, Yunnan had a high status in the national silver production of the Ming Dynasty, and this situation reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty.
With that, Zhu Gaoxu crossed Lin Wuliu and turned around and went back to the study in the main hall.
Zhu Gaoxu clenched the pen in his hand, the layout of several months was finally successful, and now he only needs to wait quietly.
Originally, many of these people would rebel during the Hongwu and Jianwen periods, and the value of the gold, silver and copper mines uncovered this time confirmed their desire to rebel.
He just got a way to calm the way from Zhu Gaoxu, and naturally he didn't believe that Xu Huizu would let his nephew be so good as not to use it.
"Accurate!"
That is to say, the current gold, silver and copper mine situation in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods.
It was the footsteps of Zhu Gaoxu, perhaps because of his great strength, so he walked much heavier than ordinary people's footsteps.
They thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would say something to them, but Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with the music as always, and did not want to tell them about the Yunnan rebellion.
In the face of their words, several military attachés present at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies squinted their eyes, revealing a bit of fierceness in their eyes, only Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu had the same faces as usual, and they were not angry because of Ru Yu's words.
The feeling that hundreds of thousands of people can be grasped with a stroke of the red pen is irreplaceable by anything in this world.
"To deal with Dao Bairotan and Nong Zhenyou, it is best to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Sichuan and Guizhou to quell the rebellion."
After ordering the matter, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and walked to the stage, and while the ministers shouted long live, they also retreated from the palace step by step.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Huizu: "Wei Guogong will leave tomorrow, and so will Song Yanshi." ”
Ru Yu's words show that it is Qi Min's household to enhance the strength of the guard, but in fact, what he wants is to use Qi Min's household to interfere with the local guard, so as not to let the guard be greedy for the gold and silver mined by the mine.
"In this rebellion in Yunnan, we must first find out the specific number of each rebel army."
His theory is actually very applicable to the north, and Xu Huizu also knows it, but they lack understanding of the southwest.
"Yunnan, sure enough, rebelled ......"
After walking out of the Wuying Palace, the Wenchen returned to the Wenhua Hall on the left, and the military attaches of the Governor's Mansion walked to the Xihua Gate on the right under the leadership of Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong.
Twenty-nine gold, silver and copper mines can provide millions of catties of copper ore and millions of gold and silver mines worth millions of pounds every year.
In such a situation, once dozens of gold and silver mines break out in Yunnan, the huge profits will be enough to blind the hearts of many people.
This matter will run through Lao Zhu's remaining years, and once Song Sheng and the others can't get out, they will have a chance to go back to the north.
These gold, silver and copper mines should have been discovered little by little in the more than 500-year history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but now they were stabbed out by Zhu Gaoxu.
However, in the face of his gaze, Xu Huizu hesitated.
In this Wuying Palace, there are Jiangxi's Jiangyou faction, as well as Zhejiang's eastern faction and Huaixi's faction, but no matter what faction, they can make a profit by deducting taxes with banknotes, and the premise of deducting taxes with banknotes is that the gold, silver and copper mines in Yunnan can be mined smoothly.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out, and Zhu Yunwen and Li Jinglong also followed.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, and an old face appeared in his mind.
Xu Huizu explained to the two with a calm face, and when the two saw this, they had to divide one person to go to the courtyard to inform Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu was afraid that Xu Huizu had already left, so he hurriedly leaned on the crack of the door and shouted, this action made Xu Huizu almost fail to step on the steps, but fortunately, the quick-eyed soldier next to him helped him.
"Song is right." Li Jinglong nodded in approval and looked at Xu Huizu.
Lin Wuliu stood worriedly in the corridor of the backyard and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaoxu also smiled and waved his hand: "If there is anything wrong, you go and rest." ”
"The minister thought that the rebellion could not be tolerated, and that the local local officials should be beheaded after the rebellion was quelled, and their people should be organized into households and returned to the guard to control ......"
He wanted to be at peace all the time, but his grandfather wouldn't agree at all.
"Go, if Your Majesty is dissatisfied, I will bear the blame."
The first to stand up is Yu Xin, who understands Zhu Yuanzhang's mind the most, and his speech is also in line with his official position.
"Shaft!" Xu Huizu used secret scolding to hide his embarrassment, and then brushed his sleeves and got into the car and left.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers have arrived......
Not surprisingly, he is Song Sheng, the governor of the Chinese military capital mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"As far as I can see, the Duke of Guogong should let the Marquis of Xiping and the Governor of He Du temporarily hold on, and wait for Qu Neng and Gu Cheng to lead the soldiers and horses of Sichuan and Guizhou to enter Yunnan, and immediately attack Tumu Azi and Nong Zhenyou.
"Let's pack our things first, you and I will leave Yunnan tomorrow."
Therefore, it was too late for them and Qu Neng to send troops to attack Yuezhou Tumu Azi, and they had to rely on Mu Chun to gallop to quell the rebellion.
Yunnan mine map, this mine map is a great gift from Zhu Gaoxu to Lao Zhu and Zhu Yunwen, but it is also a big disaster.
Yizha walked from the main hall to the side hall, and at the same time reminded Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard the words, also got up slowly, and greeted Zhu Yunwen and Li Jinglong: "You two go with me, Jixi, you can continue to deal with the music here." ”
