Chapter 356: The Zhu Family is Happy

"I hereby grant General Mu Chunping, the Duke of Qianguo, to control the five capital divisions of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Huguang, and Sichuan, and send troops on the same day to conquer Guizhou Buchen Tusi!"

"Minister, the Commander Thanksgiving ......"

In mid-April, along with the eunuchs from Nanjing to publicize the will, Mu Chun, the prince of Qianguo in Kunming Prefecture, Yunnan Province, respectfully accepted the holy decree and received the decree of gratitude.

"Qianguo Gong, His Royal Highness's meaning is very clear, solve the Tusi in Guizhou as soon as possible, so that the imperial court can save energy to govern the Tusi in Guangxi and Yunnan."

"In this leveling, the imperial court has already hoarded 500,000 stones of grain in Chongqing, Wumeng, Guilin, Changde and other prefectures, totaling 2 million stones, and each of them has purchased 200,000 yuan of new money, a total of 800,000 yuan."

"Your Highness said that this money and grain will be used for leveling, and the land will be changed and returned to the river as soon as possible, and the rest of the money and grain will be used to reward the armies."

"It's up to you how you spend it......"

The eunuch blatantly hinted at Mu Chun, although Mu Chun hated it, he had to ask Mu Sheng to bring up a box the size of a human head.

The eunuch took it, and greedily opened it, only to see that it was full of silver, and at a cursory glance it was estimated to be no less than five hundred taels.

"Hehe, then congratulations in advance on the success of the Qianguo stallion......"

"Inherit the good words of the father-in-law."

The two exchanged politeness, and after a short time, the eunuch who had sent the decree left.

Soon after he left, Xichang also sent information about Guizhou to the Qianguo Mansion.

Mu Chun, who had just returned from leading the troops from 800 Dadian, carefully looked at the contents of the information, and the number of Tusi raiders in Guizhou was 225, including 65 civilian Tuguan who had accepted the land reform and returned to the river.

Excluding the sixty-five that changed the land and returned to the stream, that is to say, the toast that needs to be cleaned up by Mu Chun is one hundred and sixty.

As the saying goes, a hundred years of court, a thousand years of toast......

This may sound like an exaggeration, but it is a reality.

The four great Tusi of An, Tian, Yang, and Song ruled in Guizhou for a long longer period than the dynasty that canonized them.

The Han, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties were all wiped out, but their group of Tusi families still stands, and the ranking of the four Tusi families of An, Tian, Yang, and Song is also based on the length of their reign.

Shuixi's Anjia is the oldest Tusi family in Guizhou, and the time can be directly traced back to the Three Kingdoms period.

In Zhuge Liang's battle to pacify Nanzhong, the leader of the Luo clan, the ancestor of the An family, helped Zhuge Liang defeat the Haoqiang in Nanzhong, so he was canonized by Zhuge Liang as the king of Luodian.

At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the main color of the king of Luodian captured Juzhou (Guiyang), and Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, gave him an edict to let him inherit the history of Juzhou.

In the period of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, the lord of Luodian was attached to the interior, and was pacified by the water, and obtained decades of peaceful development.

Until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Shuixi Tusi and Shuidong Tusi jointly returned to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang set up the Guizhou Xuanwei Division in the land of the two major Tusi.

At that time, Shuixi Xuanwei made Ai Cui as the Guizhou Zhengxuanwei Division, changed the Han surname to An, and was called "Shuixi Xi'an" in history, and officially became the king of Guizhou Tusi.

Ai Cui is not a well-known person, but if you mention his wife, I am afraid that many people are familiar with it.

His widow was called Lady Xiangxiang, but she had died in the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, and now the head of the Shuixian clan was her son An.

An's Mu Chun knows this person very well, because the horse farm under his command is a perennial tribute to the water horse, and this also means that he has a certain number of mountain cavalry.

However, he is a sincere person on weekdays, and coupled with the teachings of his mother, Mrs. Luxiang, he has always had a more overall view.

Although he was unwilling to accept the change of land and return to the stream, he was also unwilling to raise troops and follow other Tusi to make trouble.

Once the other toasts showed their decline or were suppressed, Na'an would definitely accept the appeasement of changing the land and returning to the stream, so Mu Chun didn't take him seriously.

"Order Yang Wen to lead the six guards and horses of the Sichuan Dusi to deploy defenses on both sides of the Yangtze River, not to let the Tusi army cross the Yangtze River, and at the same time order him not to pursue."

Mu Chun first made arrangements for the Sichuan Metropolitan Division, and Mu Sheng on the side hurriedly asked people to write it down when he saw this.

After arranging the defense line in the northwest of Guizhou, Mu Chunyou began to continue the layout according to the information.

According to time, the history of the Tian family in Sizhou can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Tian Zongxian of the Tian family was awarded the history of the Guizhou Thorn, and his family made enough political capital in the Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, so it developed the most and occupied the most fertile and vast land.

Although the Tian clan was split into Sinan Tian and Sizhou Tian by Ming Yuzhen and Zhu Yuanzhang, there are still millions of people and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and he is the Tusi that Mu Chun pays the most attention to.

"Please ask the Marquis of Zhenyuan (Gu Cheng) to go to Changde under the pretext of Pingdongman, and mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Huguang Capital Division to station troops in the area of Chenzhou, and wait for my general order to send troops."

"Yes!"

Mu Chun opened his mouth, Mu Sheng recorded, not only that, Mu Chun also asked people to bring a map, and circled the pass cities that needed to be defended.

After doing all this, Mu Chun began to arrange the Yang family in Banzhou according to the intelligence.

The history of the Banzhou Yang family began at the end of the Tang Dynasty, although it has been a small number of people, but they still claim to be from the Hongnong Yang family, and now it has been handed down for 531 years.

In the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty, under the guard of Tusi Yang Price and his son Yang Wen, the Mongol army invaded Banzhou several times but failed, and repeatedly lost in Banzhou.

Until the fall of the Mongols to the Southern Song Dynasty, Banzhou was not captured, so the Yuan Dynasty was also mainly appeased by Banzhou.

In terms of strength and character, the Tian family and the Yang family are the biggest thorns in the whole territory of Guizhou, especially the construction of many fortifications, and the impregnable Yang family of Banzhou is even more tricky.

Although he has siege artillery in his hand, the roads in Guizhou are rugged, so it is still a little difficult to solve the Yang clan in a short time.

"I personally led the Yunnan Metropolitan Division and the Sichuan Xingdu Division to serve as the main attack."

Mu Chun kept the hard bones to himself, which made Mu Sheng hesitate a little, and couldn't help but say: "In this way, our soldiers are afraid ......."

"What are our soldiers?" Mu Chun frowned, very dissatisfied with his brother's words.

"Jingmao (table character), have you forgotten Emperor Taizu Gao's love for you back then?"

Mu Chun didn't like to ask, Mu Sheng also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly lowered his head: "I made a mistake for a while, I hope my eldest brother will forgive." ”

"Don't take it as an example." Mu Chun was disturbed by Mu Sheng's words, and had to spend time reviewing the battlefield again.

As for the remaining Song Tusi of the four major Tusi in Guizhou, he ruled the Shuidong region of Guizhou for a long time from the Tang Dynasty, and was also one of the earliest Han immigrants to move into Guizhou from the Central Plains.

The Song family attaches great importance to culture and education, and the current head of the family, Song Bin, likes to read, likes to be close to scribes, and hates those who have no culture and only know how to dance with knives and sticks, including Banzhou Yang.

The Song clan had a close relationship with the An clan, and during the Yuan Dynasty, they joined forces to raise troops to revolt, but they were suppressed by the Yang family in Banzhou.

The Song and Yang were both Han Chinese, but the Song always despised the Yang as a submissive citizen in the Yuan Dynasty and hated the Yang for obstructing their uprising.

In this situation, it is obvious who Mu Chun wants to deal with first.

"The Song family and the An family will not help the Yang family, and the Tian family is now seriously infighting, so they can ignore them for the time being."

"At that time, He Fu will lead troops to surround the southwest of Guizhou, Cao Guogong will lead troops to surround the southeast, Yang Wen and Gu Cheng will lead troops to surround the northwest and northeast respectively, and Qu Neng and I will lead the troops from Chongqing and go straight to Banzhou."

"When the Tian clan reacts, I have already taken Yang Sheng of Banzhou, and then the three roads will go hand in hand, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong and Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Cheng will cooperate with me to encircle and suppress the three parties, and the defeat of the Tian clan will only be in an instant."

"Once the Yang clan and the Tian clan are defeated, An's An will inevitably surrender intentionally, and once the An clan surrenders, Song Bin's Song Bin will also be unable to support himself."

Mu Chun looked at the map and happily solved the four major toasts.

If this kind of thing is put in the mouths of others, Mu Sheng will definitely feel that he is bragging, but when it is put on his eldest brother, he thinks it should be.

After all, for his eldest brother, the so-called four major toasts in Guizhou are just a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

As long as the support given by the imperial court is large enough, it will not take much time to pacify Guizhou.

"It's easy to conquer Guizhou, but how to govern it is the ...... problem"

Mu Chun touched his short beard and pondered, but Mu Sheng said, "This is not something we should take care of, right?" ”

"Whether it is in our hands or not, it is always the duty of the courtiers to make suggestions to the court." Mu Chun said, looked up at Mu Sheng:

"You send my arrangements to the local capital divisions separately, so that the soldiers and horses of the local capital divisions can start to assemble, and the local political envoys can recruit people."

"The soldiers and horses in all places are dominated by me, and no one is allowed to move without my orders."

At this moment, Mu Chun has the demeanor of Mu Ying, the king of Qianning, and after Mu Sheng nodded in response, Mu Chun also spoke: "Cao Guogong's side, I will personally write a copy of the past, so I don't need you to run." ”

"Yes......" Mu Sheng responded, and Mu Chun also got up and walked to the study.

He had just returned from the battle in Eight Hundred Dadian, and he was still very tired.

Thinking that he would have to move troops against Guizhou Tusi in a few months, he just wanted to rest and rest now.

Watching him leave, Mu Sheng's eyes revealed admiration, but more jealousy.

It's just jealousy is jealousy, as long as Mu Chun is still in one day, he is still the second child of the Mu family, and only when Mu Chun is here, the Mu family can sit firmly in Yunnan.

Although Mu Sheng is not as good as Mu Chun in leading troops to fight, his political sense of smell is not low.

"Is there any movement over there in the Han Palace?"

Mu Sheng moved his sore wrist and turned his head sideways to ask the guards of the Qianguo Mansion who had just listened to everything.

The guards heard this: "The Han Wangfu has not made any moves, the Han King has rarely gone out of the palace in the past three years in Kunming, and even if he occasionally goes out of the house, he only goes to the nearest temple and Taoist temple to incense." ”

"He knows how to hide it." Hearing Zhu Gaochi's actions, Mu Sheng didn't think that Zhu Gaochi was a nerd who only knew how to read in the eyes of the world.

After all, there is a younger brother like Zhu Gaoxu, and if Dan Fan is the eldest brother has no brains, the end may not be much better than Li Jiancheng.

He can live now, and he can live so nourishingly, in addition to Zhu Di's protection and Zhu Gaoxu's contempt, he also has his own ability.

"Continue to stare at it, if the imperial court wants to start with Yunnan in the future, it must start from the Han Palace."

Mu Sheng commanded, and the palace guards also nodded and retreated.

After he left, Mu Sheng also got up to handle the news of Guizhou's land reform and return.

In the following days, there were soldiers and horses coming and going throughout the city of Kunming, and soldiers and horses from all over western and southern Yunnan gathered here and went to Wumeng Mansion and Qujing Mansion.

In such a situation, it is natural that the eyeliner of the Han Wangfu cannot be hidden.

"What about others?"

"Princess, Your Highness, he's reading ...... book"

"Real reading or fake reading, I'll just know if I go in and take a look!"

When the noise came, the door of the side hall of the front bedroom of the Han Wangfu was pushed open, and what greeted me were four or five dancing girls standing aside with their heads bowed, as well as the big black fat man who hurriedly wiped his mouth.

"You're hiding and stealing again?!"

Zhang walked up angrily, but Zhu Gaochi hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this: "I haven't started yet!" ”

"Before you start, you wipe the oil from your mouth and clean up the food on the table!"

What Zhang said about stealing food is obviously not what Zhu Gaochi understands about stealing food, as soon as he heard that it was something to eat, Zhu Gaochi spread his hands: "Hungry, no way." ”

At this moment, he is much darker than when he was in Nanjing, but his body is much healthier.

"I'm missing your three meals?" Zhang looked at the messy table and said bitterly:

"If you keep eating, I think I'll be widowed in a few years."

"Eh, don't dare to talk nonsense." As soon as Zhu Gaochi heard this, he immediately wiped his hands and stepped forward to hug Zhang's shoulder.

"I just eat occasionally, you see that I have lost more than a dozen pounds since I came to Yunnan, and the doctor in the palace also said that I am fine, look at you, what are you in a hurry......

"Nonsense, you're dead and it's not them who are widowed!"

Zhang said angrily, Zhu Gaochi was also scared of his temper, and persuaded Zhang in a good voice, which made her lose her temper.

"By the way, what about Junki?"

Zhu Gaochi looked around, but he didn't see his baby son, which made him a little curious.

"You're embarrassed to say it!" As soon as he heard Zhu Zhanji, Zhang's temper went up, and he scolded Zhu Gaochi:

"I asked you to take him out less, you don't believe it, he doesn't know where he learned his bad habits now, and he is looking for someone to fight crickets in Kunming City every day, you tell me about your ......"

Zhang's scolding, Zhu Gaochi didn't listen to a word, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, as if someone was singing next to him.

Finally, when Zhang's scolding was finished, there was also a sound of light footsteps outside the hall.

"Daddy, mother! I am back! ”

With the sound of the voice, a little black fat man who was eight or nine years old and noble as the waist of an adult appeared in the former dormitory.

Although he was dark-skinned and honest-looking, his bright eyes always flashed with something incomprehensible.

He wore a blue robe with a round neck, the collar of which was clean and neat, but the cuffs were dusty.

He held a bamboo cricket cage in his hand, and he looked very caring.

"Son, where have you gone?"

As soon as he saw Zhu Zhanji, Zhang immediately gave up Zhu Gaochi, walked over and squatted down all the way, and kneaded Zhu Zhanji's dark and fat face with his white hands.

"I'm going to fight crickets, I'm done with my studies anyway, and I'm okay with crickets, right?"

Zhu Zhanji showed his baby cricket, Zhang turned his head and glared at Zhu Gaochi after seeing it, Zhu Gaochi could only hum and pretend that nothing happened.

After a while, he reacted again, and felt that it was impossible for the Zhang family to rush to find himself because of this matter, so he asked:

"You came to me in such a hurry, just for this?"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang took Zhu Zhanji's hand and got up, and at the same time looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "You don't know about the transfer of soldiers and horses in Kunming City?" ”

"I know, the matter of the Pingguizhou Xuanwei Division has nothing to do with us." Zhu Gaochi sat casually on the chair, with his hands in his sleeves, and sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

"What if the court recruits the kings and asks you to lead the guards to the war?" Zhang expressed her worries, but Zhu Gaochi was happy.

"Do you think the second child can let me go to war?" Zhu Gao Chi said happily:

"If the matter in Guizhou is so serious, the second child can let my father go to the north?"

"If the situation in Guizhou is really serious, I'm afraid that now my father is the director of Nanjing City, and the second brother personally led troops to the southwest to quell the rebellion."

He opened his mouth happily, but Zhang said: "The second child has never fought in the south......

"Just because you haven't fought doesn't mean you can't fight." Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips, as if he was a little envious and jealous.

"In recent years, the second child has been on the Shuping Wai, and he has also seen the mountains and mines, and he has also defeated Wuliangha in Modong, commanded Wang Xuan to expand their territory in the southwest, and commanded Yang Zhan to go to the Western ......"

"Now don't say that he can fight in the southwest, even if you say that the second child can have children, I don't think it's strange."

"Shut your mouth." Listening to Zhu Gaochi's unscrupulous ridicule of Zhu Gaochu, Zhang was frightened, but Zhu Gaochi said happily:

"The second child is not so careful, if he is really careful, can I live until now?"

He could see it clearly, but that was what made Zhang very helpless.

"I heard that the third child has entered Beijing to visit his mother, aren't you going?"

Zhang still hopes that Zhu Gaochi will brush up his presence in Nanjing, especially with his eldest nephew Zhu Zhanyan, so as to avoid Zhu Zhanqi feeling uncomfortable with them in the future.

"I can't go even if I want to." Zhu Gaochi couldn't cry or laugh:

"This Guizhou is about to start fighting, and more than 100,000 troops in the southwest have been transferred, and I have no other way back to Nanjing than to take Annan in the south."

"Besides, Annan's side is not very peaceful, I heard that more than 100,000 barbarians in Changshan have recently entered the Kou, and Fu Rang is taking soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress them."

"It's good if the encirclement and suppression succeeds, but if it fails, then I'm not the meat sent to the door, waiting to be eaten."

Zhu Gaochi said that he just didn't want to move the nest, and Zhang was also dead set on him, waving his hand: "Okay, you can see everything thoroughly, it's me who bothered you, I'll go." ”

Zhang turned around and pulled Zhu Zhanji away, Zhu Gaochi saw them leaving, and hurriedly got up and waved his hand: "Come on, come on, blow up, sing ......"

At the sound of his shouting, the musicians began to play and sing, and he himself sat back in his seat, continuing to eat the plate of food.

Facts have proved that Zhang's worries exist, because there are indeed many spies in the West Factory in the Han Palace.

At least their conversation was sent to Nanjing by a word-for-word record, and at the end of April it was delivered to Zhu Gaoxu.

"The boss is having a good time."

With the information sent by the West Factory in hand, Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the front bedroom for dinner, instantly felt that the food in front of him was tasteless.

The records given to him by the West Factory are too detailed, so detailed that the boss slept with a few music girls every day, ate a few plates of food, what the recipe was, and which woman he hooked up with when he left the palace, etc......

Looking at it this way, his life is much more moisturizing than Zhu Gaoxu, and he plays with women every day in addition to eating and drinking.

"No matter how moisturized the day is, it's not under your nose."

Guo Yan's voice sounded on the side, he who had taken care of Queen Xu for a long time, finally unloaded a little burden after the arrival of Zhu Gaosui and his wife.

"How are they, the third?"

Seeing Guo Yan say this, Zhu Gaoxu also happened to ask about Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui and the others arrived in the capital this morning, but at that time Zhu Gaoxu was organizing a court meeting, and after the court meeting, he returned to the Chunhe Hall to discuss matters with the ministers.

After a busy morning, he was finally able to sit down and eat a hot meal, so he couldn't see Zhu Gaosui.

"It's a lot more honest and well-behaved, according to my sister, since he was beaten by you and thrown into the big church, he is honest, it's ......"

Guo Yan couldn't help laughing as he spoke, but Zhu Gaoxu was curious: "What do you think of, so happy?" ”

"It's just... It's my sister who said that from time to time, the third child feels a little painful to be beaten by you back then......"

Guo Yan couldn't cry or laugh, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what to say when he heard it.

He still had the strength to beat Zhu Gaosui at the beginning, otherwise he was really worried that he would be able to kick Zhu Gaosui to death with one kick.

"Anyway, when they came, my mother was also a little happier, and she said that if the eldest brother could come, they would ......"

As if realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Guo Yan hurriedly closed his mouth.

However, Zhu Gaoxu did not get angry after hearing this, but continued: "Guizhou is at war, and there is also a rebellion in Annan, and after these things have passed, let the boss and his family come to Nanjing to accompany their mother." ”

The current Zhu Gaochu is not worried that Zhu Gaochi's family may threaten him at all, so letting Queen Xu meet Zhu Gaochi's family is also one thing that Zhu Gaochu can do for Queen Xu.

"Is my mother's condition improving?" Thinking that Empress Xu died of illness in the fifth year of Yongle in history, which is now the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but feel depressed.

"It's a lot better, although my body is getting worse, but the speed is much slower than before......"

Guo Yan said and spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what to say after hearing it, so he stopped the topic immediately.

"By the way, what about the gully?"

After eating, Zhu Gaoxu realized that Zhu Zhanyu, this kid, had disappeared for a day.

"He has been listening to his mother's stories in the Qianqing Palace these days." Guo Yan looked at Zhu Gaochu with a smile, which made Zhu Gaochu have a bad premonition: "What story is it telling?" ”

"It is to tell about the mighty deeds of His Royal Highness in Beiping back then, and how he was cleaned up by his mother and covered by his father."

Guo Yan smiled and quieted down again: "Mother also said that I don't know what means Emperor Gao used to tame a wild child like you." ”

"This, ah......" Zhu Gaoxu touched his mustache in embarrassment, thinking to himself where Lao Zhu domesticated himself, obviously he eliminated his predecessor.

Isn't this personality changed if you change someone......
