Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"Okay, brother-in-law is hungry, okay?" Hao Guangming said with a smile, and began to serve the food.

Three people, four dishes and one soup, the staple food is bought steamed buns, white noodles, corn noodles, and spring onion rolls.

Aunt Zhu served bowls of soup for the three of them in advance.

Although there are very few things Aimi Zhu can do at ordinary times, she still tries to do her best, as if she wants to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and sister.

Hao Guangming didn't care about it.

After all, strictly speaking, he is now on Aimi Zhu's side, or in other words, he is relying on Aimi Zhu for his "salary".It's okay to stay in the old house for most of the day, and cooking is what it should be.Besides, Aimee Zhu and Aimee Zhu didn't eat as much as he did.

After taking his seat, Hao Guangming didn't have the habit of not talking when eating or sleeping. He drank some soup and asked, "What are you going to do for the Chinese New Year tomorrow?"

Auntie Zhu said: "I'll have a New Year's dinner with Cijiong and Cizhen over there, and then I'll drive with you, so it's a reunion together."

Hao Guangming nodded, and said again: "Don't forget to arrange for Hong Niangzi and Li Yan tomorrow."

"Well, I've already made an appointment with Hong Niangzi and Li Yan."

Originally, Auntie Zhu asked Li Yan to lead the remaining team of the former Jian Guofu to Nanjing after the Northern Expedition.But because there were still many things to deal with in Sichuan after the war, and many more things happened near the end of the year, Li Yan slowly dragged on until now.

So we can only let him come to Nanjing to reunite with the red lady after the Chinese New Year.

Hao Guangming said again: "Speaking of which, according to our historical records, Shadingzhou in Yunnan has been in rebellion for nearly a month, right? Have you not received the relevant battle report yet?"

"No." Aunt Zhu shook her head, "Even if Mu Tianbo asks for help from the nearest Guizhou Zhan Tianyan, it will take more than ten days for him to send people on the way. If he is delayed by other things, it is normal for him to exceed one month.

Besides, he didn't know that Zhan Tianyan had a radio station that could reach Nanjing, so he would probably send someone to Sichuan for help.In that case, it would take about a month for the courier to arrive in Chengdu. "

Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are all steep mountain roads, unlike the north where fast horses can be used to send messages, so the information is transmitted more slowly.

The reason why Auntie Zhu didn't deploy in Yunnan in advance, and even informed Mu Tianbo of the possible rebellion in Sha Dingzhou, was to take advantage of the Sha Dingzhou rebellion to reduce the Mu family's power in Yunnan.

As for the war in Yunnan caused by this - even if there was no Shadingzhou Rebellion, under the governance of the Mu family in Yunnan, chieftains from all over the country would rebel every day.

This is certainly related to the declining prestige of the Ming Dynasty and the greatly reduced deterrence against chieftains, but it is also related to the improper governance of the Mu family.

For example, the Shadingzhou Rebellion was caused by the rebellion of Wu Bikui, chieftain of Wuding.When he rebelled, he declared: Emperor Zhu is gone, so where is there any Duke Mu?

Afterwards, in order to calm down Wu Bikui, Mu Tianbo hastily called on chieftains from all over the world to be "King Qin", which gave Sha Dingzhou the opportunity to occupy Kunming.

However, the root of the Shadingzhou rebellion has something to do with the She'an Rebellion that year... The reasons are complicated and can be described as a mess.

Hao Guangming and Aimee Zhu have also discussed whether the rise of Aimee Zhu will prevent the Shapu Rebellion from happening again.

Discussion turned out to be unlikely. …

Because the occurrence of the Sharpe Rebellion was not only accidental, but also inevitable.Maybe it will happen later, maybe not on the scale it has historically had, but it will happen.

Because of its earliest cause, the "Luxuan Rebellion" has already occurred.

During the She'an Rebellion, Pu's fame and influence increased greatly. After Pu's death, his wife Wan Shi remarried Wang Nong and Sha Dingzhou, the chieftain of Ami Prefecture. As a result, the power has greatly increased.

As its power grows, it inevitably breeds ambition and leads to rebellion.

What's more, after all, Yunnan is a place where the emperor is far away. Sha Dingzhou and others may not be able to hear many rumors about Aimee Zhu. Those chieftains in Yunnan.

but--

"What I'm worried about now is that Sha Dingzhou will merge with Sun Kewang's forces in Guangxi, causing the rebel army to grow stronger and corrupt the Southwest." Aunt Zhu stopped Kuaizi and said.

"Didn't you make arrangements before? Before, after Shen Youlong resigned from the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Hongguang court arranged for Ding Kuichu to take over.

This person is not only a huge greed, but also has poor ability and no loyalty to Daming at all.Before that, you had changed him to be the governor of Guangdong, so that he could not restrain Qu Shisi, the governor of Guangxi.

Facts have proved that although Qu Shixuan's ability is relatively average, Guangxi has many elite soldiers. He combined the strength of the province, and Zhan Tianyan assisted in Guizhou. After all, he trapped Sun Kewang's thieves in Qingyuan Prefecture and Sicheng Prefecture in the northwest of Guangxi.

It's just that there are many mountains and forests over there, and the chieftain and Sun Kewang are in contact, so it is difficult to wipe them out for a while. "

Aimee Zhu's arrangement was an order issued shortly after she ascended the throne.

The reason why Ding Kuichu was not demoted directly to the people was because Zhu Yu didn't want to take advantage of this person so cheaply—she had asked Nanzhen Fusi to send a team of Jin Yiwei to Guangdong to search for all kinds of evidence of Ding Kuichu's crimes. .

Apart from this, Aimee Zhu has another deep meaning.

That is to hope that Ding Kuichu will have connections with the local gentry and landlords in Guangdong during his administration of Guangdong, so that when Ding Kuichu is in charge again, she will be able to uproot a group of Guangdong gentry and landlords along the way.

Even Hao Guangming didn't expect her to be so gloomy.

After hearing Hao Guangming's words and thinking about the situation in the southwest, Aunt Zhu said, "You said that Sun Kewang is trapped in the northwest of Guangxi, and there are only two Tusi, Qujing and Guangnan prefectures away from Yunnan Mansion."

Speaking of which, the names of the prefectural capitals of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty were very strange, and many of them overlapped with other place names.Such as Yunnan House, Guangxi House, Lin'an House, and so on.

Aunt Zhu intended to change the administrative division of Yunnan, but only after the imperial court really took control of Yunnan.

At present, Aimee Zhu's focus is first on repairing internal affairs, secondly on completely eradicating the Qing captives, and thirdly on solving the problems in the northwest and southwest.

It can be said that even now, there are huge border troubles in the northwest, southwest, northeast, and north of Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for the attachment of the Zheng family, Dongnan would also be uneasy.

Therefore, Aimee Zhu still has a long way to go if she wants to make Daming truly peaceful and prevent wars from happening inside.

Hao Guangming pondered for a while, and said, "Since you are worried about the situation in the southwest, you can consider transferring Li Dingguo. After all, the Shapu Rebellion in history was put down by Li Dingguo and others." …

"Yeah." Auntie Zhu nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."

After driving the Qing captives out of the pass, Li Dingguo was mainly responsible for guarding the two prefectures of Datong and Taiyuan in Shanxi, supporting Duyinxi in Northern Zhili and Lu Daqi in Shaanxi and Gansu to defend the northern captives.

However, the Mongolian tribes in the grassland, no matter whether they belonged to the Qing Dynasty or not, the threat to Ming Dynasty is greatly reduced now.

Therefore, if it is just to guard against the northern captives, there is no need for a good general like Li Dingguo. Just leaving two border guards in town is enough to beat the invading northern captives to cry.

Hao Guangming said again: "If one Li Dingguo is not enough, Yang Zhan and Cao Xun can also be transferred. After all, they are from Sichuan, and they must be more familiar with the way of fighting in the southwest than Li Dingguo.

No matter how good Li Dingguo is, he still needs time to grow.He had never been to the Southwest before, so don't let his heart get stuck there. "

Auntie Zhu nodded, thinking about how to arrange it, her eating movements were slow.

At this moment, Concubine Zhu, who got up after eating for a while, suddenly stood by the window and shouted, "Sister, brother-in-law, it's snowing!"

Hao Guangming and Auntie Zhu went to the window to look together, and found that it was really snowing, and it was not small.

This is the first snow on Hao Guangming's side this year.

Auntie Zhu looked at the snow outside the window and said, "Nanjing has already had more than one snowfall, and the Yangtze River has been frozen over. Although it is not very thick, it still needs a special boat to break the ice every day.

It is said that the snow falls more in the north and the weather is more temperate.Although I have announced the method of using coal on your side to the world, I don't know how many people in the north will be less likely to freeze to death. "

Hao Guangming saw that Auntie Zhu was very worried about the common people in northern Daming.

She once made a big wish that the people of Daming would never suffer from hunger or cold, but it is still far away from realizing this wish.

Hao Guangming had no good solution, so he could only comfort him: "Don't worry too much, the governors of the northern provinces you have appointed are barely capable ministers, and most of the magistrates and county magistrates below are also available.

They not only use coal on our side, but also have material support from the south. At least the people will not be more sad than in previous years. "

Auntie Zhu looked at the snow outside the window and said nothing, not knowing what she was thinking.
