Li Jinglong continued, "Furthermore, since Silunfa has the idea of using Master Ming Dynasty, he must have a backup plan. Whether he can help Master Ming Dynasty by leaving him there is another question. If he wants to
There must be a way to make things worse."
"Let him come to the capital, and the imperial court will honor him, and separate him from the local area. Even if he has all kinds of strategies, even if he has deep connections, he will be unable to do anything."
"When the army goes on a crusade, we can win over some people who have a grudge against the Si family and let them fight in private!"
I have to say that what Li Jinglong said makes sense.
First of all, the situation in Yunnan and Myanmar is different from other places. The situation is too complicated. The purpose of the imperial imperial army's collection is not to help Silunfa, the earth emperor, restore the country, but to completely bring these lands under the direct management of the empire.
In the preliminary work, if you turn Silunfa into a puppet, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
There is one thing Li Jinglong said very cryptically. Blind killing will only create hatred and panic. Let the barbarian chieftains unite and fight against the Ming Dynasty.
But if the Ming Dynasty stepped forward as a justice, singled out those disrespectful chieftains and beat them to death with a knife, while at the same time giving respect and courtesy to the leaders of the Yuan Si clan. In this way, even though the actions of the war were not
It's small, but at least it can temporarily appease those toasts.
Historically, during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the mighty general Wang Ji made such a mistake when he conquered Burma. Starting from conquering the Nu River, he massacred cities and killed people, and even drowned tens of thousands of prisoners in the river. In the end, he aroused the hatred of the enemy and even failed.
When the war situation has been decided, even if they want to make trouble, they cannot afford to cause trouble. At that time, just as Zhu Yunxi said just now, they will either be rich and idle, or be punished as traitors.
"These are mature and prudent words!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "You are right, I was not thoughtful in some places when I was angry just now!" After saying that, he thought for a while, "Order Muchun to send someone to escort Silunfa into the capital, and then
Gather an army and kill Mubang chieftain Dao Ganmeng in the name of suppressing the rebellion!"
"Give Muchun the right to act according to the situation and fight as far as he can!"
After saying that, he looked at Li Jinglong again and said with a bit of scolding, "You are either incompetent or ignorant, but you are just unwilling to share my worries properly!"
"Actually, I have also been in charge of the vassal court recently and paid special attention to that side." Li Jinglong said with a smile, "If you had asked me earlier, Long Live Lord, I would have really been clueless." After saying that, he paused and said, "Besides,
I just followed your ideas and came up with some trivial plans, I really don’t dare to take credit!”
"You don't have to be too modest. To be too modest is to be hypocritical. My decree just now was a bit hasty. Wrong is wrong and right is right. What I didn't expect is just unexpected." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have you to make up for the shortcomings.
"
After saying that, he looked at Li Jinglong and said with a smile, "Where's Mu Chun, we can fight. Other things, hey!" Then he paused again, "Look, he has only been in charge of Yunnan, Myanmar and other places for a few years.
Chaos has begun again. The treasury has just become a little fuller, and this is a lot of money again!"
"The difficulty in using troops against those barbarians lies in money!" Li Jinglong was praised by Zhu Yunxi, and he was so happy that he talked about it. "In the 20th year of Hongwu, Mu Ying, the Duke of Guizhou, conquered Burma. Although he won a great victory,
The amount of money and food consumed is astronomical."
"At that time, there were as many as 260,000 civilians transporting food and fodder for the 50,000-strong army, and the daily ration consumption of a soldier was an astonishing one to three. That is, one portion was required for the front line and three portions for the rear."
"When we get deeper into Myanmar, we will eat one portion in front and prepare ten portions in the rear..."
Suddenly, Li Jinglong couldn't talk any more.
My heart skipped a beat, "What did the emperor mean just now?"
"As far as the empire is concerned, fighting is the left leg, and strategy is the right leg. Mu Chun is good at fighting, but his ability to appease, win over, and understand people's hearts is far inferior to yours. So..." Zhu Yunxi looked at him, "It's not as good as Mu Chun's.
Lord, grant you..."
"Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong knelt on his knees and hugged Zhu Yunxi's thigh, tears streaming down his face, "Long live my lord, I can't bear to leave you! Besides, I will go back to Fengyang's hometown with you and the old man soon, and I won't be by your side."
I wouldn’t worry if I had to serve someone else!”
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Get up, I'm just kidding, you don't need to go to Yunnan!"
Li Jinglong stood up, filled with fear.
It’s not that he has never experienced hardships, he has been to Southeast Asia beyond the Great Wall, but in Yunnan and Myanmar, it is said that there are three mosquitoes per plate of food, and the ground is full of poisonous insects and giant snakes.
"Why did you come to see me?" Zhu Yunxi continued.
"Long live my lord!" Li Jinglong bowed and handed over the booklet in his hand, "The menu for the Emperor's birthday is out, please take a look at it!"
Zhu Yunxi took it over, took a look at it and couldn't help but laugh, "Wanting a side stove?"
"The ancients said that when a family sits around the stove and eats without telling each other, it's called eating by the stove! And it's up to the person to be rich and frugal." Li Jinglong said with a smile, "The ingredients are mutton, fresh fish, fat chicken, and served with fresh vegetables, which is unobtrusive and outstanding.
Abundance!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi looked at it, "Since you are the chief steward, I will leave all these matters to you. Anyway, if the old man doesn't like to eat, I will ask you again!"
At this time, the bastard appeared at the door and said, "Long live Lord, He Guangyi is here, waiting outside the palace!"
"Yes, pass!" Zhu Yunxi nodded and said.
~~·
Not to mention Zhu Yunxi summoning his ministers in Lezhizhai, Zhu Di was already kneeling in front of the old man in the East Sixth Palace.
"My son, please pay homage to your father!"
With the support of his grandson and son, the old man looked at Zhu Di and smiled softly, "The fourth child is back?"
The sound of "Lao Si" made Zhu Di feel warm in his heart.
Looking up again, I was suddenly surprised to find that the old man was much older than the last time I saw him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was senile. Even after being senile, he was full of weakness and fatigue.
"Father, what are you doing?" Zhu Di stood up and held the old man's arm.
Seeing the sincerity in his son's eyes, the old man felt warm in his heart.
He smiled and said, "We are getting old!" He said, raising the corners of his lips teasingly, "If you, our children and grandchildren, let us worry less, how many more years might we live? If it is the same as before, hey, maybe it will be clear.
My son has gone to meet the King of Hell!"
Zhu Di felt sad in his heart, and the past events came back to him and he was filled with guilt.
Only after letting go of many things do you realize that you were really wrong.
"This is the place where you lived when you were young!" the old man said, looking at the palace in front of him. "It's still the same after all these years. Come on, go in and take a look!"
After saying that, the old man raised his legs and crossed the threshold.
This courtyard was built by Zhu Di back then.
After passing through the main gate, there are two lines of small words written on the screen wall, "A lot can be improved if you know your mistakes!"
"We remember that your elder brother wrote this to you after you made a mistake, right?" the old man asked.
Zhu Di looked ashamed, "Yes!"
"Remember your elder brother, he will not harm you!" The old man patted his son on the shoulder, "When we wanted to beat you, he stopped you every time. Last time you drank too much at our birthday banquet, it was the emperor who stopped us.
.”
"In your life, many things have been stopped by others!"
When the old man spoke, his bright eyes were always looking at Zhu Di, as if he could see his heart clearly.
The look in his eyes made Zhu Di feel mixed in his heart.
"Now that the eldest, second, and third among you brothers are gone, you are the eldest. In the future, you must act like an elder brother and be tolerant and protective of your brothers. Do you understand?" the old man warned again.
