The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 221 Planning the Southwest
As a person who has gone through the Internet age, Zhu Linmi has seen quite a few beauties.

But no matter the woman in front of him has beautiful facial features, a slender waist like a weak willow supporting the wind, or an exquisite figure, he feels that everything is just right.Even the slender and soft bare hand holding the car door made his heart skip half a beat.

After a while, he remembered what the woman asked, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I am. What's the matter with this girl?"

Mu Zhiqing saw a young man standing in the corridor. He was wearing a very neat military uniform, with a pair of wise and sharp eyes under his sword eyebrows, a resolute face, and a kind smile on the corner of his mouth.

She bypassed the gardenia tree, walked quickly to the front, and bowed gracefully, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness Chen Wang. The little girl was entrusted by someone, and brought you a letter from the family."

"Family letter?" Zhu Linmi almost forgot that she still has a home in Prince Chen's Mansion.

"Thank you very much, Miss."

He was about to pick up the letter from his family, when he heard the woman's voice crying, "His Royal Highness Chen, can I speak for a while?"

"Oh?" The woman said that she had a letter from her family but did not hand it to him face to face. Zhu Linmei thought for a moment, then turned and gestured to the guest room where she lived, "This way please, girl."

Zhen Zhen saw that from the moment this woman appeared, His Highness's attention was on her.

Zhen Zhen was also shocked by her appearance. Seeing how polite His Royal Highness Chen Wang was to her, she couldn't help feeling sour, and couldn't help but shouted: "This person's origin is unknown, please..."

She suddenly felt that the voice was too loud, her face flushed slightly, and she lowered the volume, "Your Highness has just been assassinated, so you must guard against it."

Her words made the soldiers of the personal soldier company react instantly, and they all looked away from the woman in pink.

Mu Zhiqing smiled sweetly, turned her head to signal Yale, and then said to Zhu Lin: "His Royal Highness, the guards of my daughter caught two captives on the way, and according to the confession they are assassins. I will hand it over to Your Highness."

"Who knows if it's a trick?" Zhen Zhen stared at her closely, and said again, "Isn't it suspicious that you won't report your family name after a while?"

Mu Zhiqing sighed lightly, "As expected of King Chen, be cautious and prudent." She took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and held it between her eyebrows.

Others were fine, but Shi Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly whispered in Zhu Lin's ear, "My lord, it belongs to the Grand Concubine."

Zhu Linmei nodded to signal the soldiers to step aside, and showed her hand to Mu Zhiqing, "Please."

"Your Highness!" Zhen Zhen stepped forward anxiously.

Zhu Linmei smiled at her and shook her head, "Don't worry, be a friend of an old friend." Then she patted the spring wheel on her waist indiscriminately.

After Zhu Lin took a few steps in front of her head, Mu Zhiqing turned her head casually, giving Zhen Zhen a triumphant look.

The latter was taken aback for a moment, then reacted immediately, and kicked Gardenia Shu hard angrily.

After entering the room, Mu Zhiqing greeted her and revealed her identity.

"Lijiang Mujia?" The word "toast" immediately appeared in Zhu Lin's mind.

Tusi is a local self-government system established by the Ming court in the western border.The chieftain has great power in his own jurisdiction, taxation, law promulgation, military administration, and hereditary.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Naxi people in Lijiang declared their obedience to the imperial court and supported the imperial court's expedition to the southwest many times.Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to this, and bestowed the surname on the leader of the Naxi tribe as a tree, and conferred the post of magistrate as a hereditary native official.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family was extremely loyal to the imperial court. There is a saying that "all chieftains in Yunnan know poetry and books, are polite and righteous, and the Mu family of Lijiang is the leader."

Zhu Linmei immediately asked, "But Mr. Mu, the magistrate of Lijiang?"

"It's my father." Mu Zhiqing nodded, and took out another letter, "Please forgive me, the matter is very important, and my daughter has to be cautious. This is what Princess Chen asked me to give to you."

Afterwards, she gave a general account of the situation in Tianxing Mansion and the entrustment of Princess Chen.

"Coup d'état?! This Tang king!" Zhu Linmi couldn't help frowning, these guys really spared no effort in fighting each other!As soon as the war on my side ended, Tianxing Mansion made such a big commotion.

In history, Zhu Yu'ao's Shaowu regime only survived for a month or so, and this kind of waste must not be allowed to rule Daming again!Zhu Lin secretly made up her mind, and quickly opened the envelope, only to find two pieces of paper inside.

The small one was actually the Empress Dowager Zeng's secret edict, with only a few lines: Those who hold the edict will gather troops to serve the king in Tianxing Mansion, and all officials, big and small, will be dispatched.The king of Tang conspired against him, and the whole world punished him.Those who refuse to follow the edict are guilty of the same crime as the rebels.

The bigger one is the letter from the Crown Princess, which only said that he should trust Mr. Mu Jingmu, the situation is urgent, and he should act as soon as possible.

I didn't expect the situation to be so bad!Zhu Linmei carefully put away the secret edict, and then asked the woman in pink, "Mu Jing is a respected brother?"

Mu Zhiqing nodded, "We left Tianxing Mansion, and within twenty miles to the west, people from the King of Tang chased after us. Big Brother asked a little maid to pretend to be me, and let me deliver the news on his behalf."

Zhu Lin nodded, asked some more specific information, and finally bowed to Mu Zhiqing respectfully, "It's all because of the girl's risky summons that Daming will be saved."

"Your Highness is serious." Mu Zhiqing quickly returned the gift, lowered her eyes to think, and then said earnestly, "I have heard that the Jiangxi army all obey His Highness, I wonder if His Highness can help my little girl... help the people of Yunnan and Duke Qian to speak to Yang Ge's department and select Zhao Yin The Yunnan army under Zhao Zongbing was transferred back to Yunnan. The rebel army in Shadingzhou is very strong, without Zhao Zongbing's troops, Yunnan may be difficult to resist."

"Shadingzhou?" Zhu Linmei immediately remembered that in the early days of the Shadingzhou rebellion in history, it was simply unstoppable. The Southern Ming court was too tired to deal with Jianlu, and had no time to take care of Yunnan.In the end, after Zhang Xianzhong was killed, his adopted son Li Dingguo, the "God of War", formed an alliance with the Yongli court, and led his troops to exterminate the Shadingzhou rebels.

He said to Mu Zhiqing: "The Polu camp should have entered Jiangxi at this moment, and the war in Jiangxi should be settled soon, so there is no problem in transferring Zhao Yin to return to Yunnan."

He turned and said: "But now tens of thousands of rebels are occupying Kunming, and the money and food are sufficient, and the chieftains are unwilling to be enemies with them. With the strength of Qian Guogong alone, even with the 4000 troops selected by Zhao Yin, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Shake Shading Island."

Mu Zhiqing originally thought that no one in the court knew about Yunnan's affairs, but she didn't expect that King Chen knew it very well, and listening to his analysis was extremely reasonable, and she couldn't help showing anxiety.

Naturally, Zhu Linmi would not wait until Li Dingguo entered Yunnan to solve Shadingzhou in history.If Sha Dingzhou is allowed to stir up trouble in Yunnan for two years, the whole of Yunnan will be corrupted and become a burden that requires continuous relief from the court.

And this time Ding Kuichu sent troops to support the coup d'état of King Tang, which gave the court an excuse to solve the Guangdong and Guangxi issues.

When the chaos in Tianxing Mansion is cleared up, Ding Kuichu and Ding Kuichu will be able to take advantage of the situation to clean up the situation. The actual control area of ​​the Ming court will expand from Fujian and Jiangxi provinces to Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Guangxi.At that time, the whole army from Guangxi can be gathered westward to Yunnan, and Mu Tianbo can flank and destroy Shadingzhou, and bring Yunnan, which has not suffered too much war, under the rule of the imperial court.

With the land of five provinces, it is the real national strength to wrestle with Jiangbei Jianlu!
It can be said that Ding Kui and Chu soldiers entered Fujian to participate in the coup, which actually gave Daming a good opportunity to rectify "housework".

In addition, Zhu Linmi has another very important goal, that is Zhang Xianzhong's Chen Yin.Archaeologists in later generations have found the remains of Chen Yin, and initially salvaged Zhang Xianzhong's gold book and other items, which proved that this "legend" was a real thing that happened.

You know, this is the wealth accumulated by the Onishi regime for many years, and it is estimated that it is more than a million taels to say the least!

After solving Ding Kuichu, the de facto separatist warlord, starting from Guangxi, he could go west to Yunnan on the one hand, and go north to Sichuan on the other hand. Perhaps he could capture Zhang Xianzhong's silver boat before he scuttled it.With this huge wealth, the speed of Daming Zhongxing will definitely be accelerated several times.

With these preliminary plans in place, Zhu Lin turned to Mu Zhiqing and said, "There is no need to worry about the situation in Yunnan. When the Tianxing Mansion's major affairs are settled, I will personally solve the Shadingzhou rebellion."

Chen Wang himself? !Mu Zhiqing had heard early on that King Chen's subordinates had extraordinary combat power, if so, Sha Dingzhou would be no problem.

She immediately said pleasantly: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
