Chapter 81: A Trip to Yunnan
Da Kui read the two-point report, and his heart was happy and worried.
The Ming army conquered the capital of Yuan. This is more than 160 years since the whole world celebrated.
Huang Ying said goodbye and returned to the back house.Da Kui put away the proclamation and waited with Master Feng to the front hall.After the guests and hosts were seated separately.Master Feng handed over another letter.Da Kui took the letter and unfolded.But it was Yang Xiaohu's family letter.The letter was full of joy between the lines.Yang Xiaohu really had the style of being a father.It was indeed a general.The letter also said that he would follow Tang He to lead the army to the west to crusade against Zhang Liangchen, the remnant of the Yuan Court who was entrenched in Qingyang.Da Kui read the letterhead.He felt quite comforted in his heart.I hope that Yang Xiaohu can truly become a famous general in the world under the teaching of Brother Tang.In this way, it can also comfort his father's spirit in the sky.
Da Kui then said to himself: "This trip to Jiangyue Prefecture has destroyed the blood-spattered hall, but Wang Fu and his henchmen are still at large.
Master Feng pondered for a moment before he said: "Now that my Ming Xiong soldiers have 'swamped' the Central Plains, they have driven Emperor Hui Tuhuan Timur to the north of the desert. The ancient power of the Meng' reign, the king of Liang, and the descendant of the king of Dali, Duan Ming, the head of the Duan clan, based on Kunming, controlled the western Yunnan region, and both forces obeyed the orders of the Northern Yuan.
Da Kui nodded when he heard this, and continued: "For today's plan, I can only play the emperor, please send an envoy to recruit the king of Liang to stab Valmi and the Duan clan of Dali.
Master Feng nodded and said, "Master Zhang is reasonable, King Liang of Dali has stabbed Valmi in a corner, and I am beyond the reach of the whip, and only one method of persuasion can work wonders."
Da Kui immediately ordered: "En, prepare the pen and ink to play the fold, this official will play the emperor."
Master Feng immediately got up and went to prepare, but before he could take a few steps, Da Kui and called: "Master Feng stays, for the sake of prudence, it is better for this official to go to the capital to play the emperor in person."
Pan Bu muttered, "My father-in-law has just come back and is going out again."
Da Kui reprimanded when he heard this: "As a courtier, An can be easy and disgusting." Seeing that Da Kui's face was not good, he immediately kept silent.
"In the future, you must think before you act and speak, and you must not be so reckless." Da Kui reprimanded sharply, and quickly got up to listen to the teachings.
When Da Kui was leaving, he ordered Meng Ge to train his soldiers strictly, and then he only took Wu Yahong and five people, three people and three horsemen to the capital.
The road traveled more than one day to Nanjing, Da Kui Mian Sheng's request, Emperor Taizu praised: "Zhang Aiqing worked hard and devoted himself to doing errands, I am very relieved, Aiqing's ideas are very in line with my intentions, and ....... Zhu Yuanzhang sighed for a moment before saying: "I ordered Wang Xiyuan, the prefect of Suzhou, to be the pacification envoy of Yunnan.
Da Kui couldn't help but ask softly: "The emperor is wise, but Lord Wang is a civil official, and I am afraid of an accident when I go to Yunnan Mountain High Road."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words above the Golden Palace: "You are a powerful general, can't you even protect a weak general."
Da Kui couldn't help but be puzzled: "The minister also went to Yunnan together."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing is brave and martial, and everyone knows it, but if you talk about things, you are not as good as Wang Xiyuan, so I decided to use Wang Xiyuan as the pacification envoy of Yunnan.
"Minister's Decree." Although Da Kui knew that this trip was really a life of nine deaths, he still did not shirk the emperor's mission.
"If nothing else, Zhang Aiqing is ready to leave immediately." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and signaled that Da Kui could retire in advance.
"There's another thing to do." Da Kui knelt on the ground and played.
"Zhang Aiqing has a good song, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Da Kui Dao with a smile.
Da Kui thought for a while, and then said: "There is a merchant in Linjiang Mansion, whose surname is Miao and his name is He Xuan, who has both humanities and martial arts, and is known to be a great talent.
"Hehehe, since he recommended the household officials, he should consult with Yang Aiqing, and the person recommended by Zhang Aiqing is not a mediocre talent, and I can still be trusted." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "But it's not too late to discuss this matter after Zhang Aiqing finishes the affairs of Yunnan."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand.
Not long after, the eunuch in the palace sent out a holy decree to be handed over to Da Kui and said: "This is the holy word that Lord Zhang and Lord Wang of Suzhou went to Yunnan together." As he spoke, he handed over another holy decree and said: "This is the holy decree to appease the Liang King of Yunnan Yuanting to appease Valmi and the Duan clan of Dali.
Da Kui received two holy decrees and replied: "This official should regard it as 'sex' life." As he spoke, he respectfully held the two holy decrees in his hands.
If you lose the holy decree, it is the crime of the nine clans.
The eunuch has already covered the holy decree with a piece of bright yellow silk for Da Kui, and Da Kui resigned from the eunuch and went out of the palace.
When he arrived at the inn, Da Kui wrapped the holy decree in silk and hung it on the saddle himself.
There was nothing to say all the way, and he returned to Suzhou for a few days. When Da Kui met with Wang Xiyuan, the prefect of Suzhou, when Da Kui read out the holy decree, Wang Xiyuan was actually tragic.
"Why is Lord Wang so behaved?" Da Kui asked puzzled.
Wang Xiyuan looked at Da Kui Liang for a long time before he said: "Yunnan is the southwest border, and all dynasties have been a wild land. Saying that, Wang Xiyuan asked tentatively: "Don't say no, can you give the lower official half a day, and the lower official will arrange the aftermath."
Da Kui couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "It's just to recruit and surrender.
Wang Xiyuan smiled bitterly and said: "The two armies do not fight each other, but it is the rule of our Chinese ceremonial state, but the customs of the people in the border areas of Yunnan are very strong, and the two armies are so fierce that the two armies are 'fighting' and the two armies are killed.
Da Kui knew that Wang Xiyuan was joking, and immediately said, "It's okay to do this, this official is running fast."
Wang Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, the two not only looked at each other and smiled, but then laughed.
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty has always felt a dilemma; the so-called fetters and feudal officials in the Qin period were actually empty pieces of paper with one eye and one eye closed; the political power was still controlled by the various tribes of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan; the Han Xi Mansion was tantamount to "talking on paper." The end was inconclusive; Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period could be called the "fine" and brilliant master. The Tang Dynasty seemed to be strong, but hundreds of thousands of Tang Dynasty troops swept Yunnan and spilled blood on the banks of the Xi'er River several times, and they were defeated in the Southern Zhao Kingdom.
In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan not only swept away the Central Plains and marched into Siyi, but also personally went to Yunnan to take command, and only after paying the huge price of sacrificing 100,000 soldiers and losing 400,000 horses, he broke through the Dali Kingdom and returned it to the 'Mongolian' Yuan territory. For the Ming Dynasty, it was necessary to conquer Yunnan, in addition to facing hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Yunnan, and there were mountains and mountains to block it, and the army was unfamiliar with the place, and it was difficult to move, and it was also necessary to deal with the chieftain tribes all over Yunnan.
These tribes have their own 'elite' soldiers, and they have long occupied the mountains as kings, and they are familiar with each other, and they are familiar with each other, and they are united to resist external forces, just like wildfires in the mountains, and they will extinguish them here, and they will catch fire there.
Da Kui and Wang Xiyuan naturally did not dare to slack off. hurriedly packed up and set off immediately. Da Kui took Meng Ge to step with Wu Yahong Wu and personally accompanied 200 people.
And the person responsible for transporting this batch of rewarded treasures is the Suzhou Dart Bureau, and the head of the dart is Luo Dahai.
A total of 20 carriages and horses, each side of the escort of soldiers, Da Kui helmets, armor, a horse in the lead, followed by a soft sedan chair, Da Kui can't help but envy Wang Xiyuan, as a civil official, but can sit in a sedan chair, but he has to suffer from the saddle horse. Although it is thousands of miles away, but Da Kui has no fear in his heart.
As the saying goes: good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Da Kui has already made up his mind in his heart, regardless of whether the surrender is successful or not, and once Wang Fu's location is verified, he will be brought to justice at any cost.
The speed of the chariot and horse team was very slow, and it took a day to arrive at the boundary of Hangzhou (formerly Lin'an).
