No matter how splendid a horse is, it is just like that. It will not have much influence. At most, it will become a reason for officials to praise its virtues and a source of conversation for generals during banquets.
But if excellent genes can be passed on, even without such a divine horse, it will be enough. In this era, the army still regards cavalry as king, and the role of excellent horses is self-evident.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then told the officials of the Royal Horse Supervisor to take good care of the horse and select a good mare for breeding after spring. Don't neglect it.
Then he praised Ming Sheng a lot. Although he didn't reward him with anything, this praise was like nectar to the Ming family. In the end, the Xia Kingdom surrendered the city, and most of the clan's property was retained. They did not
There is no shortage of money, but there is a shortage of vitality.
When they saw that it was almost time, the Ming family took the initiative to leave and presented gifts to the host, who was also happy. If he stayed, it would inevitably be like asking for credit and reward.
After all the Ming family members left, Zhu Yuanzhang took one last look at the wild horse, and then led Zhu Biao away, while the other officials scattered around to perform their duties.
After passing the West Point Gate, only the eunuchs and maids were left beside them. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The supplies to reward the three armies have begun to be transported. Those who can transport it by water transport should try their best to transport it by water. There is a gap at the Ministry of Revenue. Let's allocate it as soon as possible.
, the news has spread out, and if there is a shortage of Jin Shaoliang, someone will make a fuss."
Zhu Biao followed his father and said: "I will make arrangements immediately after I return, and I will never delay the reward for the army."
"I just had a few chats with Ming Sheng. Do you think the chieftain from Guizhou has not come to the court to pay homage?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "Our post road is almost finished. They naturally know that they are afraid. Recently, there have been more envoys coming and going. They will declare their vassal status in the spring of next year and surrender."
"How will my father plan to arrange for them? There are many chieftains in Guizhou and the people are fierce. Even if they lead the people to join me, the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult to control them."
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew this and shook his head: "Let's take it slow. The left and right cannot be divided and suppressed. We are preparing to move the garrison troops from various places in the southwest to Guizhou to set up a garrison. Zhongshu Province and the Governor's Mansion are already making preparations.
Already."
Unlike other places in the Ming Dynasty, anti-foreign sentiment in Guizhou is extremely high, which cannot be solved by relocating the people. If the people are relocated rashly, I am afraid that the court has just resettled the people, and after a few days, only the ruins of the burned, looted and looted walls will be left.
, only by moving the soldiers of the guard station to protect themselves by force can they firmly take root in resisting the chieftain Qingzhai and become the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty's gradual control of Guizhou.
Only after the guards have taken root can they continue to migrate people to Guizhou and gradually assimilate those ethnic minorities. If there are not even a few Han people in Guizhou, then there will naturally be no basis for the implementation of the reform of native land and return to the king. No matter how the chieftains are to the Miao people, they are still themselves.
people, not foreigners.
The reform of native land and return to local people was only implemented in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Before that, there were no such conditions. There were really too many ethnic minorities in Guizhou. Only then did Zhu Biao listen to his uncle Ming Sheng.
There are more seedlings in the east of Guiyang, and the nine-gued Tong seedlings are strong, followed by Guanyou, Jieguang, Bafanzi, Turen, Dongren, Barbarian, Ranjiaman, and Yangbao, all of whom belong to the Yi tribe in southeastern Guizhou.
Those who came to the west from Guiyang were mostly Luo and Luo, while Heiluo were the most powerful, followed by the Song family, the Cai family, the Zhong family, the Long family, the Bo people, and the Bailuo people, all of whom were barbarians in western Guizhou.
The Miao barbarians have caves but no city walls, leaders but no rulers. They have not been guests since ancient times. The territory of southern Yunnan is neither high nor accessible. The Han Dynasty could not fully submit to central Guizhou, and the Tang Dynasty lost its ambitions in Nanzhao...
There are so many ethnic groups, they have many conflicts with each other, and they often fight to the death to rob women of food. It can be said that the law of the jungle survives of the fittest. Just move the ordinary women and children of the Ming Dynasty to where they want. It is not like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth.
Pass.
The information in Zhu Biao's hands is still a bit sparse. This is different from the later generations when the nation unites and brothers and sisters of all ethnic groups work together, but it is an era when people who are not our own race will have different minds.
Now in their eyes, the Han people are definitely not their own people. In the eyes of the Han people, they are all uncivilized barbarians. Both sides look down on each other.
During the discussion, they returned to Jinshen Hall. The father and son sat down to rest for a while, each drank a cup of hot tea, and then began to review the memorial.
Zhu Biao had no choice now. He could use ruthless tactics against Korea and Japan, but he could only use gentle methods to deal with his own people. He couldn't dispatch a large army to conquer the West and massacre thousands of miles, and then move the Han people there.
The first thing Zhu Biao did when he opened the memorial was that the local state government reported the earthquake in Ganzhou. In two counties, houses collapsed and livestock were crushed to death. Hundreds of people were injured and dozens of people died...
This situation was overwhelming and no one could do anything about it. Zhu Biao approved the local government to appease and provide relief to the people, and the money was provided by the imperial court.
The next one is a memorial from the Grand Governor's Office. Yi Wentong, a citizen of Yun County, Xiangyang, gathered a crowd to cause a rebellion. He gathered fifty ships and built a flag to plunder the people. The Duke of Wei, Deng Yu, dispatched the Xiangyang guards to attack him and kill him. Wang, who was a fake participant in politics, and other remaining party members were all peaceful.
Please give me your praise, Your Majesty.
Being able to gather fifty ships is quite a feat. If we had gone forward twenty or thirty years, we would probably have achieved great results. It is a pity that now that destiny has been established, gathering people to cause chaos will lead to death.
After reviewing it, he picked up another memorial. Zhu Biao's face darkened instantly. The Ministry of Revenue reported that there was a fire in the military warehouse of Luzhou Prefecture. A large amount of stored grain was burned, five civilian houses were affected, and seven guardsmen were killed or injured...
What a coincidence. Just when the imperial court was about to mobilize grain reserves from surrounding prefectures to reward the three armies, a fire broke out in the military warehouse in Luzhou Prefecture, and the guarding soldiers also died. It was really hard to find the prisoner even if he was convicted.
Zhu Biao gave the memorial to his father with a chuckle. After reading it, Lao Zhu's eyes turned cold and he immediately asked the eunuch to summon Hu Weiyong and the officials from the Hubu Yushitai.
Zhu Biao calmly sat back down and picked up the next memorial. Don't think too much about this kind of thing. The chance of a coincidence could not be lower. The military warehouse is a place where fire is prohibited, but now it is almost winter.
, how could such a huge fire be ignited for no reason.
The Ministry of War requested that the newly attached Tatar army in Hongluo Mountain, Beiping, be given more than 5,700 men of cotton cloth and civilian coal. Zhu Biao thought about it for a while and finally agreed. He was reluctant to let his children catch the wolf, not to mention the supply of more than 5,000 men.
big.
Chang Yuchun also reported that Yuanzhi Privy Councilor Boyan led his 16 officials and 530 soldiers to surrender and presented 800 horses and 50 camels. Zhu Biao reviewed and rewarded an idle military post.
In the past two years, many Mongolian tribes have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty. The tribesmen have all been resettled near Beiping Prefecture. Their leaders have been rewarded with idle posts and taken up their posts in the south. After a few years, they will have the opportunity to return to the frontier. If there is any slight change, they will be executed together with the tribesmen.
Of.
After a while, Hu Weiyong and others arrived. Zhu Yuanzhang directly threw down the memorial from Luzhou Prefecture. Since this matter was transferred by the Ministry of Household Affairs, it must have gone through Zhongshu Province, so these people knew it well. First,
Please apologize and promise, but you still can't avoid being sprayed with blood, and you will lose your soul.
After a while, Jiang Wei came in again. How could Lao Zhu trust them? He must have made two or even three preparations. Once the officials sent to investigate were found to be complicit in the cover-up, they would be punished with the same crime!
It was not until dark that the two days' memorials were completed. Zhu Biao started to talk about the situation in Korea and Japan. Lao Zhu listened very seriously. He actually didn't care about those places, because it was difficult to completely control Yunnan and Guizhou within the territory, let alone Yunnan and Guizhou.
An overseas enclave.
But he wanted to see his son's methods and strategize for victory thousands of miles away. This is the quality that an excellent emperor should have. Zhu Biao could influence the internal affairs of the two countries without leaving the capital, and even be very effective. This is very rare, no matter whether it is successful or not.
It's all an exercise.
"The Japanese side can consider letting Lan Yu go over. Instead of asking Tang Ding to decentralize power, just let him go to the Northern Dynasties. With his ability, he can start a business with a few hundred elites, saving him the trouble at home."
"As for Goryeo, since you have the situation under control, you can't be impatient. You have to figure it out slowly. The noble families have to appease them and make them believe that you can't survive without them. Give them fame, wealth and power, and let them crazily squeeze out the Goryeo people.
alien……"
"We think Goryeo is going to be in chaos. It is just relying on the reputation accumulated by the royal family for hundreds of years. When we comply with the family's request and canonize that boy who is not of royal blood as king, we will release half-truth and half-false news.
, it will inevitably be a chaotic situation again in a few years. Only then can you clear out the family and establish new rules at the minimum cost...
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement from time to time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his father was indeed a master of rebellion. Compared with him, Yao Guangxiao was still very immature. No wonder Yao Guangxiao had to endure it until Zhu Yunwen came to power before he dared to seduce Zhu Di.
If Zhu Yunwen could learn even half of his grandfather's methods, it would be easy enough to suppress them both, and he would not be reduced to the point of becoming a laughing stock.
This conversation lasted for more than an hour. Lao Zhu seemed to have returned to those turbulent years. From time to time, he would give examples of things that happened in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. When it came to the following, Zhu Biao couldn't even say that this was just Japan and Korea, two tiny places.
, where is the need for such a dragon-slaying technique in troubled times?
But it is true that he has benefited a lot. Although Zhu Biao was born in troubled times, as a young master, he has always been stationed in the rear. After all, life and death in the battle for supremacy in troubled times on the battlefield are unpredictable. If Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him has an emergency, Zhu Biao
It is the gathering point of the entire force.
He didn't have much contact with the troubled times in his early days. Both Lao Zhu and Empress Ma only wanted him to be healthy. Living well was the greatest help and contribution to his father. As a result, before he could grow up and play his role, Lao Zhu took over the world.
Beaten down...
After bidding farewell to Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace. At this time, Princess Lan of Kaiping had left the palace and returned to her home. She would not visit again until tomorrow, and Queen Ma would also rest in the harem.
Zhu Biao suddenly wanted to see those two ugly little guys again, and of course he wanted to see his own crown princess. When he arrived at the gate of Chengqian Palace, he was about to go in, but was stopped by Yun Jin.
It turns out that Queen Ma gave a strict order before she left. The prince must not be allowed to enter and disturb the emperor's grandson and the prince's concubine. Anyone who dares to let him go without permission will be punished with a cane of thirty years!
"If Your Highness really wants to enter, I am willing to go to Kunning Palace tomorrow morning to receive the punishment..."
