Daming heir

Chapter 652 Zhang Hui goes to the southwest

It was quite quiet in Qianqing Palace.

Except for a few voices of "Aba Aba" coming from the side hall from time to time, there was no other movement.

Zhu Yunxi originally thought that he was radical enough in court, but now he found that he was still too conservative.

Compared with the prince father in front of him, he seems a bit stingy.

"My father wants to conduct a large-scale strategy in the southwest and bring the country back to its original position. It cannot be accomplished in one day. If we want to take action on the overall situation, I am afraid we have to weigh it carefully. The imperial court should mobilize the officials and troops of the various roads and capitals in the southwest. It can be done.”

Zhu Yunxi didn't know how he could say something to weigh, but after he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the prince's father quietly.

Zhu Biao still smiled: "We need to weigh it. After all, this is for the peace of the people, but we cannot harm the people just because my family is in a hurry."

Seeing his father say this, Zhu Yunxi felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really a little afraid. The irreplaceable prince of the Ming Dynasty suddenly gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the southwest rushed into the chieftain's territory and began to forcefully promote the reform of the land.

Seeing this situation at this moment, Zhu Yunxi said silently: "We can let the soldiers and horses of the Huguang Daodu Division begin to drill, so as to strengthen their momentum and stabilize the hearts of the local people first."

"In my opinion, no matter what the reason is for the trouble in the southwest this time, this battle will eventually be fought, it's just a matter of sooner or later. In this way, the imperial court must prepare for this now, and Beijing The training of soldiers and horses, the selection of generals, the mobilization of food and grass, and the forging of weapons all need to be taken care of."

Zhu Biao was talking and tapping his fingers lightly on the table. It was obvious that he was already thinking about how Beijing would arrange things if troops were to be used against the southwest.

Zhu Yunxi was thinking about another thing.

The Southwest Tusi Rebellion has been going on for nearly a thousand years, and it is obviously impossible to completely resolve it all at once.

Historically, when the chieftains in the southwest caused rebellion, the court had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to put it down.When they look back, the chieftains will feel dissatisfied and will continue to cause trouble.

The terrain of the southwest determined that if the court wanted to suppress the rebellion, it would have to make great efforts and pay huge costs.

There are countless ravines and caves in the vast mountains, which are the best places for the chieftains to hide when the imperial army is pressing down on the territory.

What if all the natives were moved out?
At this time, Zhu Yunxi thought of something in later generations.

Since the terrain in the southwest is dangerous, and the imperial court has repeatedly failed in countering rebellions due to the terrain, it would be better to get out all the people in the mountains.

The four Yingzhou Roads, Jiaozhi Road, Zhancheng Road, and large tracts of land could accommodate the people of the Ming Dynasty.

They are all good places to go.

It's just that you still have to cooperate with the imperial troops to complete the migration.

Zhu Biao continued to speak at this time: "The cabinet can handle all matters concerning food, grass, weapons and equipment. The previous Northern Expedition was an overwhelming effort, and there was no major trouble in the court. Preparing for the Qing Dynasty in the Southwest was not a big trouble. It’s just a matter of being a general, but it needs to be carefully considered.”

Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered.

It is indeed not an easy task for the imperial court to select generals and commanders for the purpose of clearing the southwest.

It has been 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Not many of the veterans from the early days of the Ming Dynasty are still alive. In addition, most of them are in the north or west, and there are even fewer available for use in the court.

If you choose a general, it will be easy. There are many meritorious generals in the Governor's Mansion that you can call upon.

But in order to control the various roads in the southwest and to suppress the chieftains, the imperial court must choose a commander to take charge of all parties. The power and responsibility in his hand can mobilize all the roads and the chieftains.

And there are relatively few such people in the imperial court right now.

Chang Sheng has gained experience, and he has been promoted to a county king, but he is still continuing his conquest in the south towards the Indus River plain.

Li Jinglong's identity and status were acceptable, but what he did in Yingzhou was still a little inferior after all, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to be placed in charge of the Southwest.

Zhu Yunxi guessed who the prince's father had in mind.

Zhu Biao had already spoken: "A few years ago, that is, in the 18th year of Hongwu, when Wu Mian'er, the Wukai barbarian, rebelled against the emperor, your emperor made your sixth uncle the commander and Xinguo Gong Tang He the general to conquer the captives. , put down the rebellion.

But you also know that your sixth uncle is the commander, and he only goes to the front line to keep an eye on our family, so that the soldiers know that they are on the front line, and there are people from my family accompanying them.As for the war, it was ultimately under the command of Duke Xin.

But right now..."

Tang He has passed away and is now buried in the Meritorious Mausoleum on Zhongshan Mountain.

Zhu Biao added: "Deng Yu, Duke of Shen, has also been dead for many years. Zhou Dexing was put on trial and executed, and Cao Liangchen, the Marquis of Xuanning, has also passed away for many years. In fact, if we talk about it, Duke Liang is a suitable candidate, but now he is still there. On the grassland.”

This is the embarrassment of the Ming Dynasty today.

There are countless generals, but few handsome men.

As for Liang Guogong Sapphire?
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently in his heart.

He was a little surprised that his great-uncle could willingly go to Lake Baikal and personally lead the people to build a new northern border fortification for the Ming Dynasty.

I don’t know if due to Lan Yu’s dishonest temper, the court would suddenly receive news one day that Duke Liang had been conquered by the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which had not yet become Tsarist Russia.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi said tentatively: "In the 18th year of Hongwu, Uncle Liu was the commander. Now it is better to continue to let him be the commander. The central government can adjust the generals of Xipinghou, Jingchuanhou and others, divide the troops into several groups, and encircle the southwest. Chieftains?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately shook his head.

"Lao Liu is not suitable to be a commander this time. If it is just the chieftain in the southwestern part of Huguang Road, he can be a commander and take charge of the overall situation. But when it comes to the southwest chieftains and chieftains, he still seems a little weak."

"Then let the third uncle or the fourth uncle go south?"

Zhu Yunxi said very bachelorly.

The King of Jin and the King of Yan were both famous Nine Frontier Fortress Kings in the Ming Dynasty. They had been fighting Yuan thieves on the frontier for so many years. It goes without saying that their military skills were great.

And most importantly, the Ming Dynasty's Nine Sides now exist in name only.All the enemies on the grassland have been wiped out, and the meaning of Jiubian's existence has almost disappeared.

Both Zhu Fan and Zhu Di were probably a little panicked at this time.

But Zhu Biao still shook his head.

"The imperial court wants to return to the Western Regions. Your fourteenth uncle is still young and cannot bear the responsibility alone. Your second uncle is now working in the court, and the affairs in the northwest can only be left to your third and fourth uncles. They can't leave. "

Several of his suggestions were rejected. Zhu Yunxi quietly rolled his eyes at the prince's father, and then said in a low voice: "Then according to father's wishes, who should be chosen as the handsome man?"

Zhu Biao paused and looked back at the old man who was taking his two grandchildren in the side hall.

He then looked at his son who was now grown up and had high hopes for him.

"Let's wait a little longer. Father Rong will think more about it. Let's wait until Zhang Hui takes people down to find out the reason, and then we can make a decision."

……

Zhang Hui misses the imperial edict very much.

When the imperial court went to the north, he had to go with him. After running around on the grassland, Zhang Hui felt that his skills had declined rapidly.

I still have many unused methods that I want to experiment on the prisoners in prison.

According to Taiyuan Hospital's evaluation of himself, he was making outstanding and selfless contributions to the medical ethics of the Ming Dynasty.

Staying in the imperial prison is to benefit the people of the world.

Zhang Hui drew an equal sign for this in his head.

Finally, the Northern Expedition was over, and there would no longer be danger from the north in the Central Plains. He returned to Yingtian City and hid in the imperial edict.

However, because Sun Zhenfu followed Zhu Yunwen to find the New World, he had to take on some of the errands for Beizhen Fusi, so that his time in prison was much less than before.Not bad now.

I am about to launch a brand new experiment.

A total of one hundred and eight Tatars have been imprisoned in prison, waiting for him to take action.

Zhang Hui, the master of medicine in the Ming Dynasty, had not yet started his great experiment. A message was sent from the palace, asking him to personally take people on a trip to the southwest.

Zhang Hui was a little depressed.

Could it be that there are differences between Tatars and natives of the southwest?
Ok?
If you think so, you can go there yourself.

Therefore, the straight-line distance from Yingtian City to Dayong County, Yuezhou Prefecture is more than [-] miles, and the official road distance is [-] miles.

Zhang Hui took Jinyiwei's men across rivers, lakes, and mountains, and they arrived in just five days.

After passing Li County, heading southwest along the Lishui River, passing through Shimen County and Cili County, Zhang Hui finally appeared outside Dayong County five days later, riding a horse and leading people.

The Lishui River meanders here, fertile plains between mountains.

To the north of the river is Dayong City. To the south, you can see a huge hole suddenly exposed on the mountains.

This is the Tianmen Cave that will be famous in later generations.

Zhang Hui was not in the mood to appreciate such a stunning scenery.

Now he was only curious about whether there was any difference in the bodies of natives and Tatars.

"The pro-army Jinyiwei commander envoy Sibei Town Fusi, Zhang Hui, who is in charge of the thousand-household official of Fusi North Town Fusi, has been ordered to go southwest. You and others will report to Dayong County Magistrate, Dayongwei commander and other civil and military officials at the county government office. gather."

Under the city gate, Zhang Hui's deputy showed the imperial guard's badge and conveyed the order to the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.

Seeing and hearing the arrival of the Jin Yiwei in vain made the officers and soldiers in front of the city gate feel shocked.

You must know that although they are here in Liuzhi County, because they are near the southwest chieftain, they can be regarded as being far away from the emperor.

The Emperor's minions, the Imperial Guards, have been here for so many years, but they rarely come here.

Suddenly so many Jin Yiwei came, something big must have happened.

The Dayong officers and soldiers under the city gate looked timidly behind Zhang Hui and his deputy.

Passing the Baijin Yi Guardi Cavalry!
One Jin Yiwei can already make a county on tenterhooks, but now there are hundreds of people.

Moreover, the man just said that the person on the horse was the Qianhu official in charge of Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town.

There are so many officials from thousands of households in Jinyiwei. This person can take charge of Fusi in Beizhen, which shows that he has a deep background.

The officers and soldiers thought of a lot in just a moment. They immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order, turned around and ran away from the city.

Zhang Hui and others slowed down, riding horses slowly into the city, and still had time to observe the situation in the city.

Dayong City is located on the Lishui River. The terrain on the river bank is low and gets higher as you go north. The county government office and several government offices are located in the core area near the north.

There are not many ordinary people's houses in the city, and even if they are there, they are all dressed up as natives.

Yuezhou Prefecture is a prefecture, but there is a Sangzhi Appeasement Division in the north of Dayong County, not to mention a Yongshun Xuanwei Division in the southwest.

Therefore, Dayong County, which is close to Yongshun Xuanwei Division, has many soldiers and horses moving around.

The imperial court is going to take action against the Southwest Chieftain.

Zhang Hui knew in his heart that Dayong County would inevitably become the center of the army, and the flat land across the Lishui River in the south of the city would probably be occupied by continuous military camps.

The officers and soldiers who rushed into the city to report the news ahead of Zhang Hui and others had already arrived at various government offices.

Dayong County Yamen, above the high hall.

Dayong County Magistrate Li Yulong was looking sad.

There has been chaos in the southwest for more than half a year, and the situation has been very uneasy recently.Once the chaos in Yongshun cannot be stopped and breaks out completely, Dayong City will be the first to bear the brunt.

Otherwise, the imperial court would not have been able to set up Dayong Guards in Dayong City and set up another Dayong Station in the southwest near the border of Yongshun.

There are more than 6000 imperial troops in this area.

The purpose was to prevent the chieftains from Yongshun from having a conflict, which would impact all the way down the Lishui River to the hinterland of Yuezhou, and then spread to the entire Huguang Road.

“This county magistrate might as well be inappropriate!”

Li Yulong rested his arms on the table, his palms dragging his chin, his face full of anxiety. These days, because of the fire in his heart, his lips were peeled and chapped.

Ding Deng Deng.

The county government officials rushed in from outside.

Li Yulong, who was already worried, immediately frowned and scolded dissatisfied: "Did the sky fall or the Tianmen Mountain collapsed? Have you forgotten all the rules?"

The officer didn't bother to explain at this time and said directly: "County... County... County Lord, yes... yes yes... the Jin Yiwei is here!"

In a sentence, the last few words are the most critical.

Li Yulong stood up on the magistrate's chair in the hall.

Li Yulong's eyes widened, his face was full of surprise, and his lips began to tremble: "Jin...Jin Yiwei is here? What are they here for? Are they here to arrest me?"

For a moment, Li Yulong even recalled the incident when he was a boy in his hometown and watched the widow from the next village take a bath.

When I was an official in Dayong County, I didn't do anything bad.

This poor place can be described as a barren place, and there is nowhere to go if you want to make money.

The officer shook his head: "I don't know, but there are a lot of them, hundreds of them, and the leader is the Qianhu official from the Jinyiwei who is in charge of Fusi in Beizhen."

What grade does the official residence of thousands of households in Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town live in?

Zhengwupin.

What grade is the magistrate of Dayong County?
Positive Qipin.

The gap in official rank is huge, not to mention the privilege of Jin Yiwei to kill first and then report later.

Even the magistrate of Yuezhou Prefecture, Jin Yiwei can arrest people at will.

Li Yulong's legs began to tremble, his whole body was shaking, and he walked to the front while holding on to the table.

"people……"

"Where are the people!"

(Tianmen Mountain is still worth climbing)
