Chapter 305: Deceiving People Too Much
Seeing Mu Sheng coming to talk about his sex, Hao Fenglou naturally climbed up the pole: "I don't know what the general has to do with him."
Mu Sheng held his hands behind his back and said, "There is no difference between Annan and Yunnan. Yunnan was once the Dali Kingdom. Since the Yuan Dynasty destroyed Dali, Yunnan has been in constant civil strife. His father was not talented and was entrusted by Taizu to guard Yunnan. Since then, Dali has gradually stabilized, and there are no more Baiwen or Baiyu in Yunnan."
The so-called white text and white language are the words and language of Dali.
Hao Fenglou was unknown about the matter in Yunnan, but at this time he suddenly realized why Mu Sheng sighed. Speaking of which, the Mu family had the most say in Annan's affairs.
In fact, Yunnan has been independent regimes for a long time. They are the same as Annan and were once vassal states of the Central Plains dynasty. Unlike Annan, although Dali is called a vassal, its level of civilization is actually higher than that of Annan. They have already had their own writings and cultures as early as the Tang and Song dynasties. Although there are traces of imitation, they also have their own characteristics.
After the Yuan Dynasty occupied Yunnan, it began to rule, but it was not stable. The descendants of the royal family of Dali repeatedly raised troubles and never stopped. However, when the Mu family occupied Yunnan, Yunnan was officially a province, Confucianism became popular, and the customs of the Han people began to become popular.
Mu Sheng smiled slightly and said, "It is actually difficult for the natives in Yunnan to tame, so the Yuan people should stabilize Yunnan. The method of the Yuan people is not enough. They dispatched local officials and governed one side, but they did not know that these rebels might be useful in other places, but when they arrived in Yunnan, even if there were harms, they would not benefit. When they went to either side, they only wanted to avoid chaos in their posts. As long as the problem was not in their posts, they would corruption and abuse the law, exploiting the place like jackals. How could those natives eat? The so-called officials forced the people to rebel, and there were many mountains there. Once people went up the mountain, they could gather people and accumulate at a certain time, they would go down the mountain to rob the prefectures and counties. They even boldly raised the banner of Dali and under the banner of restoration. Such things were common in Yunnan.
There are so many things to say. But now, the Taizu Emperor has different approaches. Taizu ordered my Mu family to guard Yunnan. Although the Mu family was not worthy, they were not like those officials. Anyway, they were only in power for a few years. No matter how much the flood was behind them, the Mu family could not afford such a relationship. Therefore, in order to tame the local natives, the Mu family repeatedly reduced their tax burden and reduced their burdens. At the same time, they canceled the resignation officials. Instead, they appointed and removed some respected natives as hereditary chieftains, so that they could rely on the Mu family and manage the natives. In addition, they were to fill the people and make them borders. Emperor Taizu ordered some households to be moved to Yunnan several times. For decades, Yunnan was no different from Jiangxi and Hubei."
"Now Annan is the same language as we speak, and we write the same words and read the books of sages. Even the system of rituals is the same. Let me ask you, why did the court establish Annan? In fact, I always think that it is unnecessary to do this. You said it well. What's wrong with the court declaring Annan as a county? If these words are spread outside, they will inevitably be attacked by the government and the people. Now it is not the Taizu Dynasty. Everyone is shouting that the zodiac is everywhere. If the zodiac sign is everywhere, they will give Annan a king? I don't think so, but you and I are warriors after all, and it is useless to say it."
He paused and continued, "If one day the court wanted to establish Annan as a county, in fact, it could also use Yunnan's method to choose a close prominent family to guard this corner. After more than ten or twenty years, this place will be no different from Yunnan." Mu Sheng looked at Hao Fenglou with bright eyes and said, "You Hao family is enough to take on this great responsibility."
Hao Fenglou never thought Mu Sheng would mention him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "General, these words are a must..."
Mu Sheng shook his head solemnly and said, "My father is the adopted son of Taizu. The Shizhen Town Yunnan has never made any mistakes. The descendants Xiao Gui Cao Sui and did not have any trouble. You Hao Fenglou is the adopted son of the current emperor. This time, the contributions of your Hao family and the son of the Hao family are also outstanding. What's wrong with the Shizhen Town Annan? You don't have to belittle yourself. In my foolish opinion, the best strategy for the court to stabilize Annan is like this. As for the Zhongshou, the only goal of making this surname Chen is to be King Annan. Although the inferior strategy is to decree Annan as a county, the imperial court has also deported the officials. This inferior strategy is to leave endless disasters. The officials who are in office and cruelly harm the people. They are from the Central Plains. When they come here, they will be like exiled to them. For them, the only purpose of this place is to find ways to transfer others.
So they exploited them hard, filled their own pockets, and asked them to leave such ghost places everywhere. I have seen such people and such things, which is not surprising. Ha... I didn't expect that I would do this. Unfortunately, I am not a minister or a tribe. These people in the temple are all noble, but how much can I know about the affairs of the border town? For them, it's nothing more than more things than less. As long as they can't stand them, they will not care about these things. And Your Majesty, I said something that shouldn't be said. Your Majesty actually thinks it's a pity for the brothers to be born and die. But Your Majesty has a bond, and he is criticized by others and is even more jealous of various vassal states, so I hope to establish a Chen Tianping to eliminate the suspicion of all countries. Alas...for the rest, I won't mention these."
Mu Sheng was in a bad mood. After complaining for a while, he said with a dismal expression: "This year may not be a good year, wait and see."
The New Year has finally arrived.
The generals came out to pay New Year's greetings one after another, and their control over the officers and soldiers was much more relaxed. As expected, Chen Tianping did not reward him. He ignored the Ming army, even to Hao Fenglou. All the officials from Annan came to the palace to congratulate each other, while the military officers of the Ming army greeted each other. Although the atmosphere was not good, everyone tried their best to make a happy mood.
Hao Fenglou was invited early in the morning. After a meal with everyone, he stayed in the camp and talked to everyone.
The dark clouds in my heart finally diluted a little, and at noon, a sudden news came.
"Sir..." A thousand households were a little panicked, and paused their heads at the military officers in the tent, and then said with a laugh and cry: "What happened..."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a word suddenly came out, and the smiles of the people present disappeared.
Zhang Fu said with a gloomy face: "What happened?"
The thousand households smiled bitterly: "I'm so humble, I'm so humble... I'm sorry, and I'm sorry for all the generals, ah..." He sighed heavily and said hesitantly: "Today's New Year, I'm so humble and improper. A team of people went out to argue with the natives of Annan... Finally... something happened. A total of nine people died and twenty injured..."
When we heard the news, everyone was calm and disputes were inevitable, but nothing was wrong.
But death is no trivial matter after all.
But Hao Fenglou thought of something and suddenly asked: "The nine dead people are all natives in Annan?"
Qianhu said in a flash of words: "No... the humble subordinates did not suffer any casualties."
When Hao Fenglou heard this, he immediately took a breath. He quickly understood what this thousand households had hidden, so he suddenly stood up and said sternly: "Don't hide it. To be honest, what's going on? So many people died during the Chinese New Year. What's so hard to twist in front of us? Is there just a dispute?"
Qianhu's face was tragic and he quickly knelt down and said, "This is the thing. Wu Qiang and his brothers were ordered to buy some wine and meat. When they arrived at the market, because the wine and meat during the New Year had increased by several times, he was naturally dissatisfied and could not help but curse a few words. Unexpectedly, these Annan people were chattering endlessly. Wu Qiang and others became angry and said that the brothers were born and died here, and the ones named Chen were conquering the world. The New Year's people took their own military pay to buy wine and meat, but they had to look at your eyes. So they brought people to smash the stall. Many Annan people were dissatisfied and gathered together, so they drew their swords... and killed people..."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but frowned deeply. In fact, he could understand the mood of the hundreds of households. The Ming army was now brewing an inexplicable atmosphere, and now someone finally vented it.
The biggest problem now is that this matter can be big or small. To put it simply, these Annan people can be framed as rebellion. The Ming army has now suppressed the rebellion. As long as they are rebellious, they can be beaten by one thing; of course, another possibility is that someone deliberately makes the matter big and finally makes trouble. The court will definitely punish it severely, even...
The military generals looked at each other, and even Zhang Fu realized that things were not easy to deal with at this moment.
"You go down and take Wu Qiang and others first. As for how to deal with it, I have my own plans."
The thousand households had to go there timidly.
But the people who stayed in this big tent had a big problem, and everyone had no intention of celebrating the New Year. Finally, Zhang Fu coughed and said coldly: "Don't be anxious first, let's see what the people of Annan plan."
There is no way to do this. After all, the victim is from Annan. Whether this matter is big or small, Annan needs an explanation.
At this time, someone stood up, but it was the guerrilla General Chen. The old general had white hair and beards and was usually a good person, but now, his face turned pale and said in a bad voice: "I have a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not. If the brothers make trouble, it is unforgivable, but there are also some excuses. The Annan people are ungrateful and asked us to work hard for them, but there is no pension at all. The brothers above and below have already accumulated a sigh of resentment. Now that there is something wrong with them, it is their Annan people who blame him. Who will blame him? If the general severely punishes these people, I am afraid that the army will not accept it..."
