First Prince of Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 532 Special Huafeng

  In the southwestern provinces, the mountains are thick with water, the vegetation is ignorant, the clouds and mists are dark, and during life, there are lice and lice, speech and food, and a special style...

In the multi-ethnic southwestern region, where the customs are different, dangerous, and the folk customs are strong, if you do not use the hereditary chieftains who guard the land, but rely on military conquest alone, you will only succeed for a while, and it will be difficult to carry out long-term effective rule. What Kublai Khan realized at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

  The matter in Guizhou is just like this. For the time being, it will be divided and then a large army will be sent in to mop up the disobedient ministers to deter all ethnic groups.

  At this point, Daming will start a grand enough war in the south no matter what.

In fact, Zhu Biao originally wanted to take back Yunnan by threatening it. As long as the means are reasonable and slowly planned, both the King of Liang and the Duan family will make the smartest choice. After all, they are too far away from the grassland, how can an enclave resist Ming dynasty.

  So Zhu Bianben does not want to start a big war. Not to mention the casualties of soldiers and soldiers, the follow-up governance of Yunnan-Guizhou is already very troublesome, and it will be even more troublesome if the army conquers and sows the seeds of hatred.

  But Lao Zhu doesn’t like King Liang, and Daming really needs to establish prestige in the south, not only to deter Yunnan and Guizhou, but also to deter the countries in Nanyang.

  The reason why the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the heavens worshiped by the vassals is not because it has the power to destroy other countries at any time. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to attack the Nanyang countries at will, so the former Liang Wang is the best target.

   Defeating Queen Liang not only wanted to recover the territory, but also took back all the land that Annan had occupied in the past ten or twenty years.

  The victory in the north not only resisted Mongolia, but also freed up Daming to do many things, instead of being bound in the north all the time, beware of steppe cavalry going south at any time.

After the defense of Daming's own coastal areas, Jinghai Hou Wuzhen will also lead the navy to go south to wipe out the Japanese pirates. After arriving in the South China Sea, the supplies will be provided by Annan, Chenla, Siam, Champa, and Sumatra. Countries such as China, Java, Panheng, and Boni are responsible.

It seems that Daming is at a disadvantage. After all, it is just to harvest some supplies and help them guard the coast against Japanese pirates. But it was easy.

  In addition to military training, sea trade routes have been opened up. The South China Sea and the East China Sea have stabilized. It is too easy to harvest the food, gold, silver and treasures of the Nanyang countries with the industrial and commercial foundation of Ming Dynasty. Stimulating commercial development has benefited the people, and the court can also collect trade fees along the way.

   Closer contacts, cultural invasion, national assimilation, economic plunder, and so on will be completed imperceptibly, which is far better than starting war and conquest. War is just a means and is by no means the only way.

  ...

  Three days later, Hu Weiyong, the head of the early court, bowed and said: "I think that the barbarians in the distance are stubborn and difficult to control. They must be natives and can gather things. Today, if you are a member, you should follow the custom and act with authority!"

   Zuodu Censor Zhang Cheng retorted: "Appointing the natives will cause endless troubles. Even if they temporarily submit to my majesty tomorrow, how to restrict them again and again in the future. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, we must guard against it. Please think twice."

Hubu Shangshuzhan raised his hands and said: "I think Zhang Yushi's words are wrong. Appointing the chieftain to restrain the land of Guizhou is a helpless plan. Although our Ming Dynasty is strong and strong, the national treasury is still weak. How much will I lose if I want to forcibly conquer Guizhou? What's left in the end?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials also opened the mouth and said: "The words of Hu Xiang, ministers, are just like Tian Ruming, who was also the canonized Tusi of Sizhou in the Yuan Dynasty, but he returned to our dynasty as early as the first year of Hongwu and was ordered to help suppress Zhou Wengui in Poyang Lake. Zhonglin, Yandong, Wuzhai, Langxi, Pingtou, Duping, Wanshan and other foreign barbarians, the holy emperor bestowed a three-rank clothing and color list, granted the title of Zhongshun doctor, and served as Tuojiang Xuanfu envoy, isn't it still very good? "

"How can this be the same reasoning, Bashu and Guizhou are already in my pocket, even if the natives rebel, it will only take a few more years, and the temporary difficulties will eliminate the future troubles forever, so why not Why not?"

"What Chen Shilang said is very true. You are really lacking in wisdom and strategy. The government orders in the southwest frontier are difficult to go down. They can't be as smooth as the management of the Central Plains and Jingchu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Unless there is a major repair and a large number of people, the separatist regime will not be over sooner or later. If the matter is not resolved at the beginning of the founding of the country, it will only leave troubles for future generations."

"Huh, it's easy to talk about it, but it's easy for you to talk about it, but you can see how the terrain in the southwest is. If Guizhou is so easy to pacify, why didn't it solve the problem at the beginning of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, which swept the world and oppressed the world? Could it be that Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, was short-sighted? "

The civil servants are arguing together, which is also the norm in the morning court these days. After all, at the beginning of the founding of the country, civil servants and military generals were all overbearing, not to mention the military generals. To save them from having a big fight against civil servants in Fengtian Temple if they disagree with each other.

  Although they couldn't speak, they all used their eyes to threaten the officials who advocated soft tactics. This involved their fundamental interests. The reason for the generals to show off must be a big battle.

As the world gradually calms down, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to fight, but anyone who has the ambition to pass on the title of title to his children and grandchildren will be a very strong main battle, and he can't wait to fight a big battle , It is best to fight for a few years, and each of his wives and sons will be called Wang Ronggong.

But no matter how much they quarreled, it was useless. Lao Zhu had already made up his mind, and even though there were differences among the civil servants, there were more people who advocated a soft policy. The Lord is gentle but it doesn't affect them secretly using other means to figure it out.

As for the opinions of military generals, it can be ignored. Why have civil servants ruled in the past dynasties, because military generals ruled inevitably lead to the occurrence of militarism. War is only one kind of political method, not the only method, and it is not the most suitable choice. If you fight for war Sooner or later there will be danger of national subjugation.

Zhu Yuanzhang swept his eyes away, and all the officials who were still arguing fiercely bowed their heads and confessed their crimes. After the main hall returned to peace, they said, "It's just according to Hu Xiangguo. It goes without saying. According to the regulations, Longzan Aqi and other chieftains will enter the court tomorrow morning and be entrusted."

   "The ministers will follow the will of the Holy One."

Some people rejoice and others frown, but after all, they have no guts to argue with Lao Zhu, while the martial arts officers on the side waited for the officials who were fighting the battle just now with eyes that hate iron and steel. , This is soft, why don't you dare to challenge the Holy Spirit! "

If the men can talk, they have to persuade the sage well, the whole world is conquered, it is only a mere Guizhou, and I will be given 100,000 soldiers and horses, and I have to kill all those chieftains. I have heard that they have been rich for hundreds of years. I don't know how much family property I have saved, mother!

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Yu Shitai immediately pointed the finger at the Ministry of Officials, or Zuodu Yushi Zhang Cheng: "I want to impeach the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. As early as the first year of Hongwu, our dynasty stipulated that officials must avoid their hometown when they hold office. I found that many officials have recently been dispatched to their hometowns, this is not trying to bend the law for personal gain!"

  The Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up without changing his expression: "My minister has received great grace from heaven to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Since he took office, he has kept in mind the teachings of the Holy One and has not slackened for a day. Dare to ask Zhang Yushi what is the intention of framing this official?"

  Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows. What kind of change is this? Aren’t these two people Hu Weiyong’s confidantes? Why are they suddenly biting each other? Who made the move?

  The Minister of the Ministry of Officials has a high position and authority, so naturally there are many officials to support him. After all, even if he says a few words wrong, it can also be said that he was blinded by ignorance for a while.

Afterwards, there was another heated debate. Zhang Cheng, the censor of Zuodu, could not produce any decent evidence. The officials he cited were actually officials in places very close to their hometowns. Although they also violated taboos, they were not serious The problem can only be said that the original regulations were not rigorous.
