1023 Annan's plan for a rainy day

When Zhao Yu heard that he was speaking seriously, he immediately listened more seriously and focusedly.

But Zhu Xieyuan didn't say it immediately, just looked at Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and others. The implication was very obvious.

When Qin Liangyu saw this, he became tactful and immediately made an excuse and left with his son and wife.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu was a little surprised. He didn't know what Governor Zhu said next, so he actually asked Qin Liangyu and the others to avoid it.

When the only two of them were left in the tent, Zhu Xieyuan whispered slowly: "If the Tang King wants to occupy Dongwu, he will probably be very shocked to the chieftains on the Ming border. I have been dealing with many chieftains in the southwest for a long time, and I know their thoughts clearly. If someone is instigated, the chieftains on the border may secretly join forces with Dongwu."

Speaking of this, he was afraid that Zhao Yu would not understand, so he explained in detail: "Dongwu's predecessor was the Myanmar Military and Civilian Envoy of the Ming Dynasty. To be honest, Dongwu was also one of the chieftains of the Ming Dynasty, but he just refused to accept the king's transformation. Now the King of Tang revealed the intention of occupying his territory and becoming a vassal state. If King Long used this to provoke the chieftains of Yunnan borders, he said that the Ming Dynasty was like this to treat Dongwu today, and it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not be like this in the future. If he said too much like this, the chieftains were afraid that their territory would be treated equally by the Ming Dynasty and lost their minds and did things, it was not impossible!"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he was shocked. If the friendly forces suddenly stabbed him in the back when the two armies were fighting, the Ming army might be in danger.

Before he could speak, Zhu Xieyuan said again: "Many chieftains are not loyal to me, the She'an Rebellion, are an example. The court must be prepared for these chieftains. Even in the long run, changing the land and returning to the current situation is inevitable. This is also unfavorable to these chieftain leaders and they are unwilling to submit, so there are probably a large number of people!"

The chieftain system of the Ming Dynasty followed the Yuan Dynasty and reached its peak due to historical reasons. After the Ming Dynasty's rule was stable, the chieftains where the conditions were mature would be subject to the reform of the territory and return to the current. This policy reached its climax again in the Qing Dynasty. No court allowed the chieftain system to exist for a long time. It was probably because the chieftain system was summed up as "the official, the land of the world, and the people of the world", that is, the chieftain leaders were hereditary, and the people who belonged to them were slaves for generations. This is equivalent to a small kingdom coming.

Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, chieftains also had to pay tribute to the court and pay certain taxes to symbolize that the chieftain belonged to was part of the Ming Dynasty. But for the Central Plains dynasty, it is definitely better to change the land and return the flow, and the chieftains naturally did not want to change the land and return the flow. This is the root of the contradictions and conflicts.

Zhu Xieyuan was in the southwest for many years and knew the thoughts of the chieftain. When he led his troops to eliminate the She'an Rebellion, he used more divisive strategies and counter-espionage strategies. If he didn't understand the thoughts of the chieftain, his strategy would not be successful.

After he said it carefully, Zhao Yu finally understood what he was worried about and nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Governor, please report to the emperor immediately."

After saying that, he stood still in front of Zhu Xieyuan, entered the chat group and reported to the emperor.

Zhu Xieyuan looked at him and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in his heart. He was the one who led the army to fight. The first thing he thought about was that if he had such ability during the war, he didn't know how much it would be easier to fight! Suddenly, he woke up again. Could it be that there would be repeated victories in the Liaodong battlefield? It was because the emperor used this ability to the battlefield?

He was thinking, but when Zhao Yu came to his senses, he still whispered to him with a serious face: "The emperor also thinks that it makes sense. Master Min Ge has been reminded. In addition, what does the Governor think about the Zhonglie Uncle?"

Speaking of this, he whispered: "Justice just now when the governor asked him to avoid him, the servant thought about asking."

When Zhu Xieyuan heard this, he looked at Zhao Yu a little confused. Is this question the emperor asked, or is it really Zhao Yu's own question? But no matter who asked, he replied in a low voice: "Shi Zhu is the Zhonglie Bo in power, and he was granted a title as a woman. The emperor has never seen the favor of his kindness. Moreover, Zhonglie Bo's family is full of loyalty. I see that he is also loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will not be suspicious of the court because of possible things. The emperor transferred Bai Gan Army to Dongwu, and I am afraid that he also understands Zhonglie Bo's loyalty, so Zhonglie Bo will not have any problems!"

When Zhao Yu heard him say this, he sighed relieved. Uncle Zhonglie is fine, that is the best!

"I asked him to avoid it just now, not to doubt his loyalty, but to talk about the chieftain's policies, which is inconvenient to listen. That's all." Zhu Xieyuan said this and turned around and walked out. It seemed that nothing was wrong. But when he first arrived at the door, he turned around and said to Zhao Yu who came out to see him off: "It's convenient for you, so I'll report to the emperor for me. If Dongwu still needs military support, as long as there is money and food to transfer, there are some troops here that can fight!"

The Ming Dynasty was not without soldiers, but without money. For Zhu Xieyuan, suppressing civil strife for the Ming Dynasty was far less eager than expanding territory for the Ming Dynasty. If the feudal overseas strategy of the vassal kings began to be implemented, the Ming Dynasty would open up territory and expand its territory and would also set off a new round of actions. He was looking forward to this.

Lian Po is old and can still eat three big bowls of him!

With the money and food provided by the King of Tang, Qin Liangyu led the five thousand white pole troops and quickly drove out and headed towards Dongwu.

At the same time, there are ground dragons in the Forbidden City to provide heating, and the hall is very warm. Emperor Chongzhen was playing mahjong together with Concubine Hotan, Concubine Yuan and the newly promoted Concubine Hai, which was very lively.

Originally, it was for Queen Zhou to play with her, but even if Emperor Chongzhen said that she should have fun during the Spring Festival, she did not agree. So Emperor Chongzhen played with three imperial concubines.

Just as he was playing, Emperor Chongzhen began to wander around.

Pacifying the She'an Rebellion is enough to prove Zhu Xieyuan's ability to command. Judging from the scale of the war, the ability he showed was even higher than that of Min Hongxue. Of course, he valued the promotion of Min Hongxue not for his ability to lead troops to fight, but for the measures he implemented to alleviate people's livelihood during the Yunnan period. Another one, he was recommended by Wen Tiren.

"Touch!" I heard Concubine Tian shouting in a laugh like a silver bell.

Emperor Chongzhen came to his senses and realized that he had thrown out and was touched by Concubine Tian. Seeing her smile as beautiful as a flower, he didn't care. He followed her and started playing mahjong again.

But soon, his eyes began to float again, and he continued to think about what had just happened.

What Zhu Xieyuan said through Zhao Yu is indeed very reasonable. It would be a pity if this capable man is not used properly. I don’t know why, but he never heard of his reputation in later generations. Logically speaking, he is better than Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others in terms of ability, right?

Emperor Chongzhen did not know that in the original history, after Zhu Xieyuan quelled the She'an Rebellion, he still needed to continue to shock the southwest and could not leave. In the end, he died in office in March of the 11th year of Chongzhen and did not have the opportunity to go to the Central Plains and Liaodong battlefields. Therefore, he became much less well-known in later generations.

The matter he reacted about the chieftain was indeed necessary to solve it. But it was not time to resolve the chieftain, at least he had to wait for the feudal kings to have the energy to attack so many chieftains in the Ming Dynasty. If Zhu Xieyuan came to preside over this matter, he would be the only one to choose. It's a pity that Zhu Xieyuan is already old and I'm afraid he won't be able to wait that day.

From what he said, he seemed to be thinking about participating in Dongwu's affairs, but there was already Min Hong learning from Dongwu. What about other Southeast Asian countries?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but get excited. He slapped his palm and hurt his body. He immediately came to his senses, but he slapped his mahjong plaque.

"Your Majesty, are you confused?" Concubine Yuan was a little surprised.

"It's impossible to see so quickly!" Concubine Tian leaned over to verify.

Hai Lanzhu was also confused and had already stared at Emperor Chongzhen's card, then pointed to the card and said, "It's not a big deal, the emperor is cheating, the emperor is betrayal!"

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen stood up with a smile and said to Queen Zhou behind him: "No, I've been seen through, come and serve me! The whole family should be happy for the New Year, let it go!"

After hearing what he said, the three concubines invited them again. No matter what their three thoughts were, they always had to show their deep sisterly love in front of the emperor!

At this time, Empress Zhou had already realized that the emperor had something to do. When she saw the emperor repeatedly invite him to have fun, she felt that he was very important in his heart, so she no longer refused to be kind.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the recliner and watched his four wives playing mahjong. He entered the chat group and chatted with Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and said: "All the news about Annan is summarized, and the fast horse is sent to the southwest and handed it to the young security guard Zhu Xieyuan."

What he thought of just now was to arrange for Zhu Xieyuan to deal with the affairs of Annan and include Vietnam in later generations in the Ming Dynasty. In this way, when the Ming Navy set foot in the South China Sea or even went to Australia in the future, he could use Annan as a supply point or starting point.

Oh, I am really hardworking. For the New Year, I will prepare for the future of the Ming Dynasty. If I don’t enjoy the blessings of the people, I will plan for the bright future of the Ming Dynasty!

When Emperor Chongzhen was in the mood to tease himself, there was no trace of the New Year atmosphere in the Dongwu Awa area. Some were just teams of soldiers.

In the past, Dongwo was the Myanmar Military and Civilians' Envoy of the Ming Dynasty. He had no calendar and used the calendar of the Ming Dynasty. There were many people in Dongwo, spreading various technologies. Everything in the Ming Dynasty was the trend of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom at that time, and was sought after by Dongwo. Therefore, during the Ming Dynasty, Dongwo also celebrated the New Year.

In the mountains and forests a hundred miles north of Awa City, a not-wide official road winds around the foot of the mountain. In a forest not far from the official road, a group of people leaning against trees and resting with their eyes closed. No one talks, only the wind blows the forest and the birds chirp.

Suddenly, a man took out the kettle and waited to drink it but found that there was only one or two drops of water, not even a sip of water. He swallowed and stood up, and wanted to walk towards the sound of water in the forest.

At this time, a man looked at him and whispered: "What are you doing?"

"My Lord Fu, my subordinates have no water. Go and drink some water." The man also replied in the Ming Dynasty.

When Fu Yuman heard this, he frowned and said, "The military regulations are not allowed to drink raw water!"

"Haha, it's okay. I have been drinking raw water for so many years, but I haven't seen anything!" The man said with a smile, "I've been here for a day and a night, and I'm so thirsty."

Hearing the two of them talking, the others opened their eyes and looked at them. To be honest, there was no such rule in the army before. It was newly promulgated before the war, which made many of them a little uncomfortable. They had to boil water before drinking. I don’t know who came up with it. It was so troublesome, so I would do my best to make trouble for those who are poor soldiers!

When Fu Yuman heard this, he said seriously: "Do you know who asked the army to drink boiled water?"

In the past, even he himself was used to drinking stream water when he wanted to drink water, so he was happy! But at this time, he had to strictly implement the military regulations.

"Who?" Many soldiers were very curious and asked quickly.

Some soldiers even spoke, "Can they be the one who was stupid to read..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Yuman quickly interrupted: "It's the emperor! The emperor said that there are things in this water that we cannot see with our naked eyes, and some are poisonous. Only by boiling the water can these poisons be removed, so as to reduce the chance of getting sick!"

"..." Hearing this answer, all the soldiers were stunned. They didn't expect that this was actually what the emperor asked for, and there was such an incredible explanation. The soldier who had just said that he was stupid in his studies subconsciously closed his mouth, lowered his head, and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. He thought to himself, it was so dangerous that he almost said something ruthless!

Fu Yuman looked at their expressions and said seriously: "I didn't believe it before, but this time, this time the army's southern expedition, as far as I know, there are much less illness, diarrhea and other things, do you understand?"

Speaking of this, he whispered: "The emperor's ability is not as good as an ordinary person. He even knows such a thing. It's really wise!"

Fu Yuman was the general manager, so he naturally got more information than his subordinates. What he said at this time was also authoritative among his subordinates. Therefore, after he finished speaking, his subordinate immediately believed it. The subordinate who wanted to fetch water returned embarrassedly, and could only smash his mouth and lick his dry lips.

When a comrade saw this, she threw his kettle over. After drinking it, the man whispered to himself: "Are all Donggo's scout dead?"

Thank you for your name quickly!
