Use the Miao people against the Miao people, and use the strong people against the strong people.

Facts have proven that this is extremely effective.

Because these Miao and Zhuang people are much more cruel than the Han people in dealing with people of their own ethnic group.

That is what Li Xiao said, one person's death is too much and one house's death is too much.

Thanks to their efforts, in just two months, the Yunnan-Guizhou rebel forces collapsed like an avalanche.

The rebel forces were greatly damaged and they pushed deep into the mountains to wait for the opportunity.

But how could Li Xiao, who had experienced hundreds of battles, give them a chance? The troops broke into pieces and went deep into the mountains to clear out the rebels.

As mountain people, the Miao and Zhuang people are no strangers to Yunnan and Guizhou. They are no strangers to the forests either!

With the hard work of these people, the chieftain rebellion that swept through the three provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou was effectively contained in less than half a year.

It is only a matter of time before it is completely wiped out.

At the same time, Li Xiao also ordered the king of Laos, the king of Myanmar, and the king of North Cochin not to let anyone leave the country's borders, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

Li Xiao didn't say anything about the consequences, but these kings were all very cautious and sent their most elite troops to station at the border.

They knew very well the greed of the Grand Marshal of Ming Dynasty.

Myanmar, Jiaozhi, and Laos are all important rice producing areas. Although the third-cropping rice does not taste very good, it can still be regarded as food.

In truly disaster years, it would be good to have food. What’s the point of being picky eaters!

If someone thinks that the rice from the south is not delicious, the old people will slap him.

After only a few days of eating, I started to say that the rice didn’t taste good.

During the Chongzhen year, when there was no harvest, even the chaff could not be eaten.

Who doesn’t live on half a year’s wild vegetables and half a year’s porridge?

Nowadays, when we eat rice with white flowers, we still dare to think that it tastes bad.

The young man muttered, but did not dare to say anything.

The Ming Dynasty founded the country based on filial piety, but when someone came to tell me, I could only lower my head and make promises.

It is unfilial to dare to talk back, and you cannot fight back if you are beaten.

If you dare to beat or scold an elderly person over seventy years old, the government will immediately lock you up. According to the "Ming Dynasty Law", the sentence is at least three years!

But if you are unfortunate enough to meet an official who particularly respects the elderly, it is not uncommon for you to be sentenced to five to seven years.

Therefore, all the old people in Ming Dynasty have become spirits now.

They roamed the streets in groups all day long, and no one dared to stop them.

Rape is not considered a crime if you are over seventy. This is clearly stated in the Ming Law.

Taking this opportunity, Li Xiao visited Guilin, Jiuzhaigou, and even Zhangjiajie.

The excuse for traveling at official expense is naturally to inspect places.

If the commander comes to inspect the place, he must be well received.

Officials from all over the country showed their utmost sincerity to serve this uncrowned king.

"Xiao Wang meets the commander-in-chief!" A guy in a python robe knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xiao.

This is the seventeenth generation of King Jingjiang of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yilong!

King Jingjiang was an embarrassing existence in the Ming Dynasty.

According to the Ming Dynasty's kingship system, the single-name prince is the most noble.

For example, King of Qin, King of Shu, King of Han, etc.!

These single-character princes are all the sons of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

King Jingjiang is different. His ancestor is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew.

In this way, perhaps we can understand why their family was sealed in this place where birds don't poop.

Unexpectedly, the family of King Jingjiang was unexpectedly successful and lived in this beautiful place for more than two hundred years.

The princes of the Ming Dynasty lived like pigs during the days when there was an emperor.

But without the emperor, life is worse than that of a dog.

There has been no emperor for more than 20 years, which is different from Wanli who has not been in court for more than 20 years.

But on the throne in the Forbidden City, there is no butt to sit on.

If a country cannot live without a king for a day, there will be no market these days.

If you don’t believe me, ask, who dares to say such a thing without risking his life?

The emperor is gone, and no one takes the princes of the Zhu family seriously.

In the past, the government could allocate some money and food to these princes every year.

After all, the emperor's surname is also Zhu. We are all members of the same family and will receive the treatment we deserve.

But now, the emperor is gone. The commander-in-chief’s surname is not Zhu, but Li!

It is impossible for a handsome man named Li to support a prince named Zhu.

As a result, the money and food provided by the government to the princes decreased year by year, and now, they are at a level where they cannot starve to death.

It is equivalent to the Zhu family's entire family receiving subsistence allowances.

Zhu Yilong, who lives on a minimum living allowance, sold many properties in the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion this time, so he finally got the chance to meet the commander-in-chief.

"It turns out to be King Jingjiang, please get up!" Li Xiao was very polite to this man.

After all, he is an old man in his sixties or seventies, with white hair and beard. Out of respect for the elderly, Li Xiao must also be polite.

This Jingjiang King Zhu Yilong, as you can tell from his name, is at least over seventy years old.

The old gentleman and Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun are of the same generation!

It doesn't matter if the Ming princes kneel to themselves, even though they only kneeled to the emperor before.

But asking a seventy-year-old man to kneel down on his knees is really unreasonable.

"Commander! Please agree to my request, otherwise I will kneel to death here and not get up." Zhu Yilong knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Li Xiao glanced at Yuan Chonghuan, he was the one who brought this old guy here today.

Yuan Chonghuan, dressed in military uniform, stood behind Li Xiao, his expression unchanged.

It seems like it’s not an embarrassing request!

"I don't know what your request is, old prince. It's better to stand up and say it. You are old and kneeling is not appropriate."

Although he said this, he had no intention of walking over and helping the person up.

"Our Ming Dynasty has been in Zuo for more than two hundred years since the Hongwu Year. During these two hundred years, our Ming Dynasty conquered the Tartars in the north and drove out the bandits in the south.

But since the Tianqi Year, it has continued until the Chongzhen Year.

I was humiliated outside the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty, and inside there were Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who made trouble.

Seeing that our country, China, is about to suffer another great chaos like Wu Huan Hua's!

Fortunately, God has shown mercy and allowed you to be born as a handsome man.

There was a foreign war in Liaodong, and after it was destroyed, the Jin Dynasty promoted the prestige of our country, the Ming Dynasty.

During the civil war, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong defeated the traitors and bandits in the country.

You are the reincarnation of Ran Min, the king of martial arts!

You are the great savior of our Han people.

The Zhu family has exhausted its energy and cannot protect all people.

Commander-in-Chief, you are like an eagle soaring into the sky, leading your army of tigers and wolves to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and the inner world.

As a descendant of the Zhu family, I am willing to invite the commander-in-chief here.

I would like to ask you to ascend the throne as a great treasure and protect our Chinese people."

After saying that, the old guy put his head on the ground and waited motionless for Li Xiao's reply.

When Li Xiao heard what he said before, he secretly screamed something bad.

Looking at the people around them, all of them had normal expressions, and no one showed any surprise at all.

These guys are in cahoots!

Let the prince of the Zhu family come forward and let himself ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

It seems that these guys have begun to fantasize about becoming ministers of the dragon.

After Zhu Yilong finished speaking, the scene was completely silent.

The expressions of the generals and officers standing around did not change at all.
