Daming: From the end of Hongwu

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since Zheng He's voyages.

Zhen Wu started his busy life of going to Dudu's Mansion every day.

His Youfu has the largest jurisdiction, and they are all in Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan, which are relatively complicated boundaries, so the errands are also the most cumbersome, and there will often be some weird things that are reported layer by layer, and then provoked Zhen Wulai was furious.

"Grandma, Sizhou and Sinan fought in front of Lao Tzu again. These bastards are used to being lawless in their own territory. When they were recruited to follow me to attack Annan, their troops had a lot of friction. At that time Firstly they were in Mu Sheng's army, and secondly, because the battle went smoothly, they didn't have the intention to deal with them properly, but now they are doing well, just after returning, they started jumping up again." Zhen Wu threw a memorial on the table and cursed. Said.

The other clerical officials in the yamen were startled by Zhen Wu's sudden scolding.

Seeing Zhen Wu's huffing and puffing angry look, Zhang Wu laughed, and at the same time asked with interest, "Sizhou and Sinan again?"

Zhen Wu angrily threw the memorial far away to Zhang Wu: "Look for yourself."

Zhang Wu took it over and looked at it for a few moments, and immediately smiled even more vigorously.

But with a smile, he said inexplicably: "Captain, you said this is also a strange thing. The ancestors of Sizhou and Sinan belonged to the same family. How come they beat them like life and death enemies."

"Benefits, what else can it be?" Zhen Wu said with a curled lip.

With that said, Zhen Wu got up and went to the files, found out the map of the boundary of Yunguichuan, and spread it on the table, frowning and thinking deeply.

From time to time, he tapped on the Sizhou Xuanwei Division and the Sinan Xuanwei Division.

These two Xuanweisi are local chieftains, and they are both located in the border of Guizhou. Of course, there is no such provincial unit as Guizhou. The whole Guizhou, such as Sizhou, Bozhou, and other regions, belong to Sichuan, Yunnan, Huguang, and Sizhou. It belongs to Huguang Province.

Speaking of these chieftains, there has always been a saying in the southwest region of "Guangdong Cenhuang, Sibo Tianyang", which refers to the four famous chieftains today.

And Sizhou is the Tian family's world. They have the power of life and death over the local people in the whole Sizhou, and they have the judicial, financial, administrative, military and other autonomous rights.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Sizhou had not yet been divided, but there had been infighting within the Tian family. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a man named Tian Renhou and a man named Tian Renzhi both held notices that they were the consolation envoys of Sizhou. Come to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was busy fighting the world at the time. How could he have time to check who was real and who was fake? What's more, the two surrendered one after the other. The people were withdrawn, so the Sinan Propaganda Department came out as soon as I turned my eyes.

Mainly at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the southwestern region was in chaos. You surrendered to Chen Youliang, and I surrendered to Ming Yuzhen. Whoever did not have a small court appointment letter dared to pat his chest and say that he was orthodox, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not have Come up with this kind of thing.

But Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved when he did this, but since then Sizhou and Sinan have become red-eyed, wishing to punch each other's dog's head out, but they are still autonomous chieftains, and it is inconvenient for the local chieftain to intervene. Had to report to Dudufu.

Zhang Wu came to Zhen Wu's side and suggested: "Otherwise, I'll go there and help the two sides make peace. Now I dare to dispatch hundreds of people to fight with weapons. If it continues like this, sooner or later there will be big troubles."

"Say peace?"

Zhen Wu shook his head, Zhu Yuanzhang made such a mess, it's not all a troublesome thing, he is thinking about reforming the country and returning to the bloc, but now he can start from this place, and he has been saying "Han does not enter, barbarian does not come out" Dong' is also not conducive to the integration of various ethnic groups, and these places in Guizhou are directly related to the road to Yunnan. It is very necessary for them to further strengthen control of this place, so that they can boldly explore Yunnan and further places.

In fact, Guizhou was established in the Yongle Dynasty in history, and a part of the land reform was carried out. However, this very historic achievement has been ignored by many people, and many people have even never heard of it.

The main thing is that Zhu Di has too many things to brag about, and a small strategy in the Southwest is not worth mentioning. Besides, we can’t be like some people in the Qing Dynasty, picking up the wisdom of the ancients, and doing reforms and returning to the country. Advertise yourself ostentatiously.

However, Zhen Wu was not clear about these things. He only knew that there would be Guizhou Province in later generations, and then he planned to reform the land and return it to the local people, and set up the Guizhou Chief Envoy in Sizhou and other places.

After thinking for a while, he asked Zhang Wu: "What is the most valuable thing in Sizhou now?"

"Of course it's the cinnabar mine and the cinnabar mine." Zhang Wu said: "In the past few years, temples have been built in Sizhou and these places, and the heart of the Buddha has become more and more popular, and the price has also risen again and again."

Zhen Wu slapped his head, how could he forget about this.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always believed in the policy of ignoring the people, and often adds Confucianism to his beliefs to solve the worries of border troubles.

Zhang Wu asked curiously: "The governor has thought of a solution? Who is he planning to make peace with?"

"No peace this time."

Zhen Wu looked deeply at the map and said: "Not only do I not intend to take care of this this time, but I also want to add fuel to their fire."

Ok?
Zhang Wu was puzzled.

Zhen Wu explained with a smile: "I want to find an imperial merchant in Sizhou. Whoever can produce the best cinnabar and cinnabar in Sizhou or Sinan, I will let them sell it to various countries with Zheng He in the future."

"what?"

Zhang Wu was surprised and said: "I'm afraid that the ancestors of Sizhou and Sinan will not recognize it."

"That's right, that's what we want. If they don't make a fuss, how can we intervene? Anyway, we have nothing else to do recently. We have plenty of time to fight slowly. When it's so hard that the court has to send troops, then we can't help it." Whatever Tian says is fine," Zhen Wu said.

Zhang Wu was a little worried: "Captain, this... are you sure?"

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "I'll go to His Majesty to discuss this matter. In addition, you should pay more attention to the situation in Sizhou recently. If you want to send troops in the future, you will lead them."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu strode outside.

Zhang Wu looked at Zhen Wu's furious look, and shook his head incomprehensibly, but then he thought, this is quite good, he had heard that many lands in these chieftain's lands were deserted, and the local Han people thought They want to go in and cultivate, but they are frequently blocked by the chieftains, which leads to the waste of the land, and these chieftains often commit crimes in the administrative area because of the emperor, lawless, and even in some places, they are angry and resentful.

It is also a good thing that Daming takes over.

……

On the same day, Zhen Wu found Zhu Di and told Zhu Di about this matter. Zhu Di probably thought about this matter before, and after hitting it off with Zhen Wu, Dang even summoned several ministers to discuss the detailed rules.

Soon, heated discussions sounded from time to time in the study.

As time goes by.

The night gradually diffused, and the lights in the study were also unknowingly lit. The conversations between Zhen Wu and the others gradually tended to be unified. Finally, as the night was getting dark, everyone discussed a rough operating rule. .

Zhu Di stretched tiredly, looked at the sky, and said, "Okay, let's go here first, and talk about it tomorrow."

Zhen Wu and the others should have done so, and after resigning, they retreated one after another.

It was already dark outside, and outside the palace, Cheng Liang was waiting for Zhen Wu with a lantern. When he saw Zhen Wu coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Madam has written to remind you twice, do you think we should go home or go somewhere else?" ?”

"go home."

Then, Zhen Wu led Cheng Liang and others towards the house.

At home, Zhu Yuying had been waiting for Zhen Wu. When she saw Zhen Wu came back, she hurriedly asked: "Why is it so late today? If you don't come back again, I want to send someone to the palace to ask."

Zhen Wu hammered his waist, went to his coat and said, "If you have anything to eat, ask the kitchen to bring some food over."

"The food has been hot." After speaking, Zhu Yuying asked Xue'er to go to the kitchen to fetch the food, and at the same time helped Zhen Wu wash his face.

After Zhen Wu cleaned up briefly, the food was already served.

Seeing the two sets of bowls and chopsticks, Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "You haven't eaten either?"

Zhu Yuying nodded.

Zhen Wu glared at Zhu Yuying angrily and said, "If I come back late in the future, don't wait for me, let Xue'er and Shuang'er accompany you for dinner, or call that brat Sanyue over."

"He is not willing to eat with us. He always feels that we are restraining him, and he is not comfortable alone." Zhu Yuying complained, and her emotions were somewhat unbalanced, as if she had given birth to a son without a conscience.

Zhen Wu smiled and said: "It's not you, every time I see him, I criticize him."

Zhu Yuying helped Zhen Wu pick up a piece of meat with chopsticks, and said unwillingly: "It's okay not to criticize, you are often not at home, if I don't be stricter, you will definitely be sensual, you don't know, you didn't do it some time ago When he came back, he dared to go drink flower wine with a bunch of friends."

"What?" Zhen Wu almost choked to death with a mouthful of food.

Isn't it too early to drink flower wine at the age of March?

Zhu Yuying explained sheepishly: "Don't worry, it may not be true. When Zhan Ji came to the house to complain, it looked like the two of them were playing around."

But Zhu Yuying immediately said with a serious face: "But no matter what, you can't indulge him."

Zhen Wu swallowed hard the food in his mouth, and couldn't help laughing again.

Most mothers in the world are the same.

Afterwards, the two chatted while eating, rambling on what they thought of and what to say, and while talking, Zhu Yuying was suddenly stunned for a while.

"What's wrong? Why are you so dazed?" Zhen Wu asked.

Zhu Yuying smiled at Zhen Wu, pretending to be very casual and said, "Why don't you go to Jin'er's room to rest today."

Ok?
Zhen Wu looked at Zhu Yuying suspiciously.

After Zhu Yuying said those words, she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed in her heart, and she seemed to be a little more transparent. She said with emotion: "Since you came back, you haven't been to Jin'er's place very much. You don't know, she also misses you a lot. When you were not at home, she came to me to inquire about you many times, and since Jin'er gave birth, she has become a lot haggard, and she has no spirit at all. .”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuying sighed and said: "We have known each other since we were young, and seeing her like this now, I really can't bear it. Every time I think about the past, I feel guilty for being too narrow-minded."

Zhen Wu opened his mouth, wanting to comfort Zhu Yuying, but found that what he said seemed to be a little sorry for Jin'er, so he finally swallowed the words back.

Wives and concubines, wives and concubines, since men have benefited from this matter, it is better to talk less on this topic.

Zhu Yuying looked at Zhen Wu eating sullenly, and couldn't help but glared at Zhen Wu.

But after staring at it, I felt that it didn't make sense.

Jin'er was chosen by her, and it was her idea that Zhen Wu accepted Jin'er, and it was really not Zhen Wu's fault.

On the contrary, Zhen Wu's guilty conscience warmed Zhu Yuying's heart.

There is such a husband who puts her in his heart, what is there to be dissatisfied with.

But her little girl had a temper tantrum, seeing that Zhen Armed Forces couldn't hear her, she rolled her beautiful eyes, and still complained: "Why, I lost my hearing when I said this? Look at my lord, I have long wanted to go to Jin I’m in the yard, but I’m pretending to be virtuous.”

hiss.

Zhen Wu frowned.

Zhu Yuying started the topic herself, but she turned around and blamed him again.

A woman's general skill?
Seeing Zhen Wu's state, Zhu Yuying burst out laughing again: "It's alright, alright, I won't embarrass you, my mother was ill earlier, and she hasn't recovered intermittently these days, and I'm thinking too hard. So they sent someone over and wanted me to live in the palace for a few days, I have accepted my mother, and tomorrow I will go to the palace to accompany her, as for where you want to stay, I don't care about you."

This…

Damn, tell me earlier.

Zhen Wu wiped his mouth, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and asked solemnly: "How is the mother's health? Is it important? Do you have to go? If it is not important, or don't go, I am really reluctant, you know me , just thinking about not seeing you at night makes me feel flustered, and you have been gone for several days, how can I bear it."

In the end, Zhen Wu raised his eyebrows and believed his own words.

Zhu Yuying's eyes stared straight.

When Zhen Wu saw this, he was afraid that he would be out of play, so he hurriedly said: "But as a child, you should be filial, and I can't stop you from accompanying your mother for my own selfishness, that's all, you go, no matter how hard it is. , I suffer by myself, but don't talk about going to Jin'er's yard, I won't go if I say anything today."

……

On the second night, when Zhen Wu came back, he found that Zhu Yuying had indeed gone to the palace.

Zhen Wu turned his head and walked towards Jin'er's yard.

The two courtyards were not far apart, and Zhen Wu arrived within a few steps. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the maid in Jin'er's courtyard was very happy and wanted to report to Jin'er, but Zhen Wu hurriedly stopped her.

"I'll just go in by myself, so don't disturb us anymore." Zhen Wu ordered.

The maids nodded understandingly.

Zhen Wu quietly walked towards the house, but when Zhen Wu walked to the door and saw the scene inside, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

I saw Jin'er lying on her side next to the baby, looking at her son intently with her eyes, wrapping the baby softly like a stream of water, as if all her energy to survive came from the baby in her eyes.

She guards like an angel.

Zhen Wu's heart suddenly twitched. He knew he was sorry for Jin'er, but he had no choice. Between Zhu Yuying and Jin'er, no matter who he showed closeness to, he would definitely make the other sad, and Zhu Yuying was his. His wife, the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, will definitely occupy more of his time.

Some things cannot be done in a bowl of water.

Zhen Wu took a breath, walked in with a smile on his face, Jin'er heard the voice, raised his head and looked over, a look of surprise bloomed on his whole face, she sat up abruptly, but then He thought of his son again, and looked over carefully, only to be relieved to find that his son hadn't been awakened.

Then, Jin'er smiled innocently at Zhen Wu.

"I'm staying here today." Zhen Wu said softly.

Jin'er nodded her head happily, and quickly got up and asked someone to call the nanny over, hoping that the nanny would take her son away.

Zhen Wu stopped him and said, "You don't need to carry me down."

Jin'er shook her head, and said shyly, "Xiao San will make trouble at night."

"That's it." Zhen Wu said loudly, "Then let's carry it on."

soon.

The nurse came over and carried Xiaosan down, and after Jin'er helped Zhen Wu wash up, the two turned off the lights early and went to bed.

An hour later.

Zhen Wu hugged Jin'er tightly, and said emotionally: "These days have been hard for you."

Jin'er was puzzled: "Where is Jin'er suffering?"

Zhen Wu was stunned and didn't know what to say.

After half an hour.

Jin'er seemed to realize something, and said with a smile: "Jin'er is not bitter. Jin'er is an old man in the family and grew up with the princess. I don't know how many times better than others. I don’t know about other people’s concubine’s room, not to mention giving birth to a son, even their own life may not be safe. Unlike me, the cost of living in the courtyard is not only better than that of the rich mistress outside, Jin'er is already very satisfied that the princess has taken good care of me."

"Other people are so exaggerated?" Zhen Wu was surprised.

"No way."

Then Jin'er chattered, and started to tell Zhen Wu some gossip about the backyard, and Zhen Wu was very knowledgeable.
