Li Qi was very confident at first. After all, he had been thinking about this matter for several days and had been observing these chieftains carefully since he came into contact with them. However, under Zhu Biao's calm eyes, he became more and more guilty.
"We will kill Longzan Aqi after the forces in Guizhou are unified. Even though he is powerful, he is nothing more than a mantis in front of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the young men under the command of the chieftain of Guizhou will also suffer heavy losses..."
"The humble minister spoke nonsense, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Zhu Biao comforted Li Qi and said: "It's not a lie. I'm very happy to hear you say this. I'm not afraid of thinking wrong or not thinking about it. What's more, what I said is indeed true, but it's just a little incomplete."
"Strive to support Longzan Aqi and induce him to turn against each other and kill each other with the various tribes in Guizhou. It is easy to say that the Ming Dynasty reaps the benefits. After all, they already have a feud, but if he deliberately did it to prevent the cunning rabbit from dying and being cooked by the lackey,
How about raising bandits to respect themselves?"
"Longzan Aqi is not a short-sighted fool. Even if Longzan Aqi can be forcibly killed and his subordinates can be promoted to power, judging from the topography of Guizhou, the final result will definitely be rebellions. There are no Han people in Guizhou.
We don’t have the foundation to rule, and that’s the biggest problem.”
"You have also been responsible for relocation matters with me. You know how difficult this kind of thing is. The mountains and forests of Guizhou are densely covered with miasma and poisonous insects and scorpions. The Han people who moved there casually could die without medical care or food. Under such a desperate situation, the people
I would rather rebel on the spot and seek happiness than die..."
Zhu Biao just said a few easy-to-understand things, which made Li Qi's face turn pale. If it goes deeper, it will be even more difficult. It is by no means a problem that can be solved with one or two strategies.
Otherwise, the land of Yunnan and Guizhou would not have been independent and autonomous for so many years. It is not difficult to make them surrender in name, but it is difficult to truly integrate them into the governance of the imperial court system. The only way is to work slowly and carefully.
This is also the reason why Zhu Biao is not in a hurry to expand the territory. It is not difficult to conquer any place, but it is extremely difficult to truly govern it, especially if there is not a large number of Han people as the foundation in the local area, it will be difficult.
It's really hard to implement the decree.
"Everything must not only be thought over but also carefully thought about. You go down and bring the leader of Shuidong Chieftain Song Meng Menggai to see me tomorrow."
Li Qi agreed and quickly retreated. The young man was thin-skinned and originally wanted to show off his talent in front of Zhu Biao, but now he was extremely ashamed.
After watching Li Qi go down, Zhu Biao casually adjusted his sitting position, half-lying on the large seat, supporting his head with one hand and closing his eyes. Liu Jin and other palace maids and eunuchs stood silently in the main hall like sculptures.
Both sides.
You must communicate with each chieftain privately. Zhu Biao doesn't like to be led by others. You want Longzan Aqi to be your spokesperson. Have you ever asked me for my opinion?
This is the reason why Song Mongol is wanted to see the evil in advance, and it is also a very simple way to alienate people. If Zhu Biao met Shi'er, the female manager of Puding, in advance, it would not have the same effect. Because Shi'er's power is not strong enough, Zhu Biao only
See the Song Mongolian gangsters whose power is second only to Longzan Aqi.
This is a clear plan, but it should be particularly easy to use. Li Qi is actually right. These chieftains in Guizhou each have deep-rooted conflicts. After all, Guizhou is so big, how can there be no conflicts of interest.
Even if Song Mongolia told the truth exactly what he said after returning, who can really believe it? Even the more sincere Song Mongolia is, the more suspicious he is. Human nature is like this...
With the suspicion that this alliance formed due to immediate pressure is not worth mentioning, Zhu Biao can also see their true internal attitude and set the goal of win over and suppress, and then they can go to see Comrade Lao Zhu to accept the canonization
.
Not only does it need to be canonized, and the official titles are like sweet dates, but it also needs to be given a slap in the face to establish prestige. Guizhou was obtained without a war, and there is always something missing. The people of various tribes in Guizhou do not yet have a clear understanding of the Ming Dynasty, and they do not recognize it.
If you know, you will have no fear, which is not good.
However, it is definitely not possible to massacre the chieftain forces who take the initiative to join the tribe. Fortunately, there are many independent villages in Guizhou. They are unruly and have their own unique customs and beliefs. Even the chieftains are difficult to control. This is
unstable factor.
There are still some small chieftain forces who are stubborn and have not sent people to surrender. The Ming Dynasty will send troops to clear out these surrendered chieftains such as Longzan Aqi. Since Guizhou has entered the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to tolerate the foreigners and obey them.
Those who do not obey must pay taxes and perform corvee duties, and those who disobey are not common people under the Ming Dynasty and should be punished.
Not only did they want to wipe out all the alienated people in Guizhou, they also took the opportunity to find out the marching terrain of Guizhou, and first deployed 100,000 troops into Guizhou to set up garrison camps and train troops, in preparation for sending officials to set up yamen and relocating the people in the future.
Of course, relocation may not have been possible in the past ten years. After all, the Ming Dynasty had fewer people and more land. How could there be any excess population to move to Guizhou? Fortunately, there were still hundreds of thousands of young soldiers scattered in various guard posts in Guizhou. This was terrible.
They are all fresh-blooded and energetic...
The people who will migrate in the future will all be Han people, which will undoubtedly create a natural gap with the local ethnic minorities. But these children will not be there. They were born in Guizhou Prefecture and Weisuo, and are natural citizens of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, the purpose of setting up a garrison in Guizhou was to suppress Yunnan and prompt King Liang and Dali to make a decision as soon as possible. Zhu Yuanzhang had already sent the decree to Tang He half a month ago, and everything was ready. As far as the chieftains in Beijing were concerned,
Do you deserve to cooperate?
Zhu Biao's bottom line is that the army must be stationed and set up guard stations, and the annual tax and corvee payments in Guizhou must not be left behind. As for other things, it can be postponed for a while, that is, the chieftains still have the power to rule over the people, including life and death.
In terms of military and political affairs, Zhu Biao first wanted to ensure the foundation of military power, and then required minimum taxes. As for other things, he was not urgent. He even sent officials to set up state government offices and could not control the Guizhou people who could not speak the language.
The general trend is with me. It seems that Longzan Aqi and others are not stupid people. As long as this head is opened, things will be easier in the future. Although the Guizhou chieftains have the power of life and death in their territory, they cannot enjoy it.
At most, it's just killing people and sleeping with a few more women (men). It's not difficult to be corrupted intentionally.
When the number of Han people in Guizhou increases, the military and political power will gradually be taken back by taking advantage of the situation. At worst, it will just give the chieftain family a fortune. There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. It is better than entrenched in the mountains and forests of Guizhou and playing with poisonous snakes.
Bar?
Zhu Biao was not only more powerful than them, but most importantly, he was younger than them. He had enough time to plan and wait for the time to come. This group of chieftains in Longzan, Aqi, Song and Mongolia still had a vigilant heart. After all, they came from the troubled times of the Yuan Dynasty.
Yes, but the same cannot be said for their descendants. This is also the limitation of the feudal ruling class and no one can solve it.
Zhu Biao is too lazy to think about what will happen a hundred years from now. He has a good mind, but he is not capable of planning a national policy for a thousand years, and he does not believe that future generations will obediently abide by the plan set by a dead man. The death of a person has always been like this.
.
Zhu Biao did what he could, and when he was in power, he allowed the people to take a good look at this vast world, and planted a few seeds of an unknown future. Then it would be up to future generations to make their own choices. The ups and downs, the ups and downs, the ups and downs of honor and disgrace.
Self pick up.
He doesn't care whether the Zhu family will still be a royal family or not. There must be hundreds of thousands of his bloodline at that time. Even if he loses the throne, he will not die. No one has changed his surname to Waifang.
A few days ago, there were bandits in the north who claimed to have the blood of Han Emperor Gaozu and killed the little green snake. Although they were suppressed by the local guard with twenty Qingqi, it proved that the Liu family's bloodline has a long history...
Zhu Biao fell asleep for a while without realizing it. When he woke up again, the room was dark, and he could only hear the faint crackling sound of the heater somewhere.
"Hmm~"
"Your Highness is awake, please hold the lamp!"
Zhu Biao sat upright and felt a quilt covering him slipping off his body. He was immediately supported by Liu Jin who came up to him. After a few soft sounds, the lights in the back hall were lit. The light seemed to be transmitted, and each figure was gradually revealed.
Zhu Biao took the warm water that was handed to him and took a sip: "What time is it? Why is it so dark?"
Liu Jin replied respectfully: "It's late now, I've just slept for more than an hour, but the sky has suddenly changed and the clouds are covering me, and I'm afraid it's going to rain or snow."
