In the mansion of Pingxihou in Yunnan, Mu Ying compiled a thick list of names with a cold face. There was no need to wait for the autumn period, and the execution would be carried out in two days.
It is said that the power to make decisions only rests with the emperor's pen and approval. Not to mention local officials, even the prime minister does not have this right. However, Yunnan's situation is special after all. In many cases, it must be suppressed with thunderous means. I really can't wait for official documents to be approved.
Therefore, after the prince's advice to the court in the morning, the king was given a special flag by the king, allowing him to act in an exceptional way during his reign in Yunnan, killing first and reporting later.
At that time, many imperial censors felt that it was inappropriate. They believed that the power of Marquis Pingxi was much greater than that of ordinary border officials. Adding the king's flag and flag would be equivalent to demarcating borders and enfeoffing the country. Once such a precedent was set, it was different from It is harmful rather than beneficial to the country.
But Zhu Yuanzhang just replied: "Ying'er, our family members can make me sit back and relax without worrying about South China. Please don't worry about me!"
When the civil and military officials heard about it, they said nothing more. However, the Marquis of Pingxi burst into tears after hearing the imperial edict. He bowed his head to the east and worked hard day and night without daring or slacking off!
Yang Siyi took the Goujue roster and read it carefully before handing it over to the waiting officials for execution. He said to Mu Ying, who looked tired, "Master Marquis, please take care of yourself. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians are relying on you. "
After drinking a cup of strong tea, Mu Ying squeezed out a smile and said: "Sir, don't worry, I know it well and will not miss the important military and national affairs."
Yang Siyi was helpless, that was not what the old man meant, but he shook his head and did not try to persuade him any further. It was better to go back and write a letter to the prince about the matter, which would be far better than wasting words here.
Mu Ying cheered up and said: "The land in Yunnan is very vast, but most of it is barren. It is suitable to set up camps and order the soldiers to cultivate the land in order to prepare for it. This is a top priority."
The suppression of the rebellion this time has almost used up all the food reserves obtained from the Liang Prince's Mansion. If there are any changes, we will have to ask the court for help, and the time, money and food required will increase exponentially.
Over time, he will become a drag on the court, which he cannot tolerate. He wants to serve the court as a saint and a prince, and completely stabilize Yunnan, instead of just being a dog guarding the land.
"I have urged all the guards to reclaim wasteland so as not to miss the spring." Yang Siyi nodded and responded: "There are also civilian villages. The 200,000 people who moved from Sichuan have been given seeds, farm tools, and divided acres of land. .”
"The government health offices all use the increase or decrease in grain production in the fields as the main evaluation criteria for rewards and punishments. Those who are capable will be promoted and those who are mediocre will be demoted. There will never be any distinction between Han and barbarians."
Yang Siyi was still nodding at first, but he hesitated when he heard the last sentence: "The native officials of the border barbarians all have hereditary duties. They know little about etiquette and justice. If they are governed, they will be aggressive and if they are indulged, they will be playful. There are few capable people. If the Marquis wants to use them, I am afraid it will take more time." Enlightenment."
Mu Ying also knew that this was the case, and took out an official letter from the bottom of the desk and said: "Last year, the prince sent a letter to me, ordering the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou to establish Confucian schools. The Imperial College will send academic officials here, and he will select the handsome grandson nephew of the native official's son. Teach them so that they know the righteousness of king, minister, father and son, and do not fight against the rules. This is also the way to keep the border safe."
"It's just that the rebels have gathered in groups and there is no time for him to take care of it. Now that the situation has eased a little, I have a warrior, so I still need your husband to take care of this matter."
"That's exactly what the position is." Yang Siyi took the letter and saw that it clearly mentioned that the Imperial College could send academic officials and professors, and his expression relaxed a lot. These days, not to mention Yunnan, even in the Central Plains, it is difficult to find preachers and professors. A learned man of great ability.
Although it is a matter of education without distinction, it still requires a certain amount of skills to educate foreigners, not to mention the implementation of some special content during the process. If he is left to find it on his own, this matter will be difficult to handle.
"First, we will establish government schools and county schools in Qujing, Puding, Guangnan and other Dafu counties in Kunming, and promote culture and education in Guangxing."
"One more thing." Yang Siyi muttered: "The King of Liang was content with enjoying himself, and the rivers in the territory were not well managed. There are many rebel prisoners under the Marquis who are reclaiming wasteland. Please use some of them to dredge the rivers."
"Okay."
The two planned the details carefully, and finally came to the discussion of military affairs.
"Yang Ju spreads his ambitions and has good relations with the chieftains of the aristocratic families in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. It is not easy to kill him. It would be better if he can be used to scare him."
Most of the rebellions that affected the three provinces last year have now been put down, but a considerable number of them still rely on the difficult terrain to fight. In addition, the local chieftains are deliberately shielding them, and the army cannot easily contain them.
The original leader of the bandits, Kaishi King, had already been captured by Mu Ying and sent to the capital. But now the leader of the remaining bandits is Yang Juxuan, the Dongchuan Xuan comfort envoy from the BC Yuan Dynasty.
Mu Ying looked at the map on the side and said: "Chang Mao and Fu Zhong will lead their troops in pursuit. If it doesn't succeed this time, I will send an envoy to talk to him. I think he will agree."
It is not easy to chase a rabbit, but it is even more difficult to be a rabbit. Those who block the front and chase after them, their survival depends entirely on the Ming Dynasty, which is not popular among the people.
Ordinarily, Yang Ju should not be allowed to spread, but now that a greater danger has emerged, he has to consolidate his troops as soon as possible, and he has already killed the King of Changes and other major thieves, so integrating the remnants of the small group is also a way of appeasement.

Mu Ying has been unable to sleep at night because of this incident. The Luchuan Kingdom, known as the Yunnan Tiger, which dominates the southwestern countries, captured Wang Zhen, the commander of the Ming Dynasty garrison in Yongchang, and its leader Siwafa led the troops.
Wanqin came to break the city and capture people.
What happened was that Wang Zhen was commanded to enter the territory of Luchuan and prepare to garrison troops and set up guard posts and farm fields in Yongchang City. However, the nearby barbarians elected a descendant of the Gao family in Dali as their leader on the grounds of being incompetent and seduced King Siwa of Luchuan to lead his troops.
When they came to attack, they cooperated internally and externally, and the city was destroyed in an instant.
Mu Ying was naturally furious, but she still managed to endure it. The Luchuan Kingdom should not be underestimated, and it was not something that could be compared to thieves like the King of the Reincarnation.
The Lucchuan Kingdom's forces reached Laos in the east, Assam in eastern India in the west, and Kunming in the north. They occupied many areas such as Tengyue, Yongchang, Jingmai, Jingxian, Jingdong, Lamen, and Lakuang.
The former founding leader of Luchuan was Huanyi Hanhan of the Dai ethnic group. He served as the general manager of Luchuan Road in the former Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he took the opportunity to stand on his own feet and named himself Sihanfa after a tiger had leaped over his head. He made his capital Yunjielan.
From then on, he began to conquer the east and west, and the surrounding chieftains joined him one after another. He even sent his younger brother to lead 90,000 troops, claiming to lead 900,000 troops to conquer the Ahong Kingdom (located in India), which was also established by the Dai people.
They even defeated the Yuan army in the third year of Zhizheng, and pursued the victory to Dali City. They were invincible. The Yuan army lost their helmets and armor. They had to be given officials and rewards. The Pingyan Xuanwei Department was established and Sihanfa was conferred as a hereditary Xuanwei envoy.
Since then, the Luchuan Kingdom, which has dominated the southwest and repeatedly defeated the Yuan army, has radiated influence throughout Southeast Asia. It is full of military virtue and can be called the overlord of the Indochina Peninsula.
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Sihanfa also sent envoys to the capital to pay tribute to fifteen elephants, one auspicious white elephant, and nine-color jewelry, red gold and silver.
Zhu Yuanzhang highly rewarded the messenger of Sihanfa and gave back gold, silver, satin, porcelain and other items. In the third year of Hongwu, Sihanfa died of illness at the age of seventy-five. His son Silunfa succeeded him. Some time ago, he broke into the city and kidnapped him.
The king of Luchuan who commanded the envoy under Muying.
"I am sending envoys to ask for people. Since I am only kidnapping people and not directly killing them, I still have concerns in my heart, or there may be room for negotiation."
Mu Ying rubbed her eyes but said in a cold and firm tone: "Luchuan is so powerful, and the surrounding countries are restricted by it and cannot congratulate our Ming Dynasty. This means that we are ambitious. We will have a battle with our Ming Dynasty in the future, and we are lying on the bed."
"How can I allow others to snore and sleep? I will definitely capture their king, kill their generals, destroy their ancestral temples, completely destroy their country, and devour their territory!"
Yang Siyi was not that kind of corrupt scholar. He was a civil servant in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He also had quite abundant military ethics, not to mention he was a ruthless man who could propose immigration to change his species.
But considering the current situation in Yunnan and the problems that may arise in Guizhou once a war breaks out, I can only sigh with regret and say: "Let's focus on negotiation first, and postpone the rest."
Luchuan has a population of millions and claims to have 600,000 soldiers. Of course, this is obviously false, but since it can claim to be a hegemon, even if it is just the hegemon among the Central and Southern countries, it wants to gather more than ten or two hundred thousand soldiers.
There must be horses.
A country with more than 100,000 soldiers is considered a very strong country, and the terrain of Luchuan is even more dangerous than that of Yunnan and Guizhou, with mountains and rainforests full of mosquitoes and miasma not suitable for military warfare in the Central Plains.
