Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 761 This is life
Hawaii's geographical location determines that it is destined to be a maritime military base.

The sooner Black Flag is captured by the Qing Dynasty, the better. The bigger the military base and harbor are built, the better.

Over the next few hundred years this archipelago in the middle of the Pacific would only grow in importance.

If possible, Zhu Youjian would like to go there and inspect the islands in person to see if the berths for battleships and aircraft carriers can be planned hundreds of years in advance.
Hawaii is also an important guarantee for large-scale colonization. If the local business is well managed, the colonial fleet will have a stable harbor, and the safety factor of ships traveling between East Asia and the Americas will also increase sharply.

Zhu You examined the map of Hawaii and the detailed topographic map of Pearl Harbor drawn by one hundred advance sailors stationed there, and kept sketching with the pencil in his hand.

Occasionally, I glanced at the map of the Yunnan-Guizhou region of the Ming Dynasty and Guangxi.

This is where the rebellion sprang.

Change the soil and return to the stream.

The policy began to be tried in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

The original chieftain chieftains who ruled the ethnic minorities in the southwestern region were abolished and replaced by officials appointed by the central government of the imperial court.

Just by looking at the words, you can tell how deep the water here is.

The chieftains in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangdong and Guangxi can be said to be the most troublesome problem for the monarchs of the Ming and Qing dynasties when facing the southwest region.

There are many common shortcomings of the restraint system.

Basically, it depends on the strength or weakness of the Central Plains dynasty.

As powerful as the Tang Dynasty, all nations came to the dynasty. Although the chieftains were rebellious, at least they were still loyal to the empire on the whole and had a sense of identity with the empire.

The weak one is the Yuan Dynasty.

The chieftain surrendered verbally, but in fact, the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty were unable to cross the chieftain's territory. Instead, some were beaten violently by the chieftain or even annihilated.

So why were the Manchus and Qing Dynasties able to gradually complete their transformation and return to their homeland?
Then we have to mention the Yang Yinglong Rebellion, the She'an Rebellion, and the Sha Dingzhou Rebellion first.

Among them, Yang Yinglong's Rebellion, also known as the Battle of Bozhou, was one of the three major campaigns in Wanli.

The She'an Rebellion lasted for 17 years from the year of Tianqi to the third year of Chongzhen. It almost destroyed Sichuan, Guizhou, Yungui, and almost destroyed the chieftains of Guizhou.

The Shadingzhou Rebellion swept across Yunnan again, forcing the Duke of Guizhou, who had guarded Yunnan for generations, to flee in panic.

Then, the Daxi Army, which was recruited by the Ming Dynasty but not fully mobilized, came and directly hung up Sha Dingzhou and beat him.

After these waves, the anti-Ming chieftain forces in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty only had half their lives left.

Moreover, three large-scale rebellions all ended in disastrous defeats. The chieftains knew that they no longer had the ability to separate the southwest, so they began to follow the regulations of their ancestors and embrace their elder brother's lap.

Then came the Ming and Qing wars.

The chieftain from the southwest joined the Ming Dynasty army, and the army's counterattack once led to consecutive victories. If he sided with the Qing Dynasty at this time, there was a high chance that he would be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty army.

But in the end, the Qing Dynasty won, and the liquidation that greeted these chieftains was natural.

After that, Wu Sangui guarded Yungui again. King Pingxi could not tolerate the chieftain being domineering in his own territory, so he pursued and beat the chieftain fiercely.

Finally, there was the San Francisco Rebellion.

Another almost unsolvable situation.

In the early stage, Wu Sangui was invincible, but in the later stage, the Qing army came to liquidate him.

Not to mention that you have withstood the disasters time and time again and managed to survive by taking sides repeatedly. Your strength cannot allow you to continue to ignore the imperial court's policy of returning natives to the countryside and separatist power.

This is the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to reform the country and return it to the local people, and there is no one reason why.

But now Longwu Dynasty wants to do it.In other words, it has been going on in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

But recently, because Emperor Longwu had some money, and in the north, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty had a heated conversation with the King of Song, Zhu Cixiang, the relationship between the Black and Yellow Banner and the Ming Dynasty also became heated.

So we intensified our efforts.

Shaanxi, Gansu and the north of Chengdu were wide open. The Ming Dynasty and the land gentry and common people under the jurisdiction of the Black and Yellow Banner were as if they were one country. Both land and water were unimpeded. The states and counties that controlled the bordering territories also communicated with each other on government affairs, and even started to engage in political affairs. cooperation.

Because of these things, the Longwu Dynasty suddenly felt that the pressure on the northern border defense was much less.

It was also at this time that Wuerte, the puppet emperor of the Qing Dynasty in the north, was actually the reincarnation of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. It was also said that Emperor Chongzhen became a god in heaven, which was the incarnation of the emperor in the world. Otherwise, Song King Zhu Cixiang would not have been able to follow the Tatars all the time. Such statements spread directly in Nanjing and even the imperial city.

Emperor Longwu was furious.

He ordered that such remarks must be banned. If he dared to spread such rumors that insulted the late emperor, he would be taken to the Yamen and punished with death.

Emperor Longwu had heard of this rumor a long time ago, but he rejected it directly without even thinking about it.

Nowadays, it is just spread too much, so we have to ban it.

Otherwise, where would our old Zhu family’s face go?
Shouldn't the good Ming Emperor become the Tatar Emperor?

Shame on our ancestors!

How could it possibly be true!Ignorant people dare to spread anything!

In any case, the pressure on the border defense was reduced, and the number of troops for Luzon was only [-] to [-]. After arriving in Luzon, the food and supplies for these tens of thousands of troops were quickly provided by the locals, and the court provided very little money and food.

Have money and soldiers.

During the Longwu Dynasty, he became interested in reforming his native land and returning to his native land.

Then, because Emperor Longwu quickly replaced Emperor Chongzhen after his death, the chieftains who had not rebelled rebelled.

Although Ming Dynasty took some precautions this time, it was still not enough.

The local gangsters had secretly made preparations as early as the Chongzhen Dynasty, and they had been holding back until now just for the sake of a big wave, so after the rebellion, they quickly captured many city fortresses.

The Ming Dynasty army then fought with the rebels and won the first battle. With the help of many chieftains who were close to the Ming Dynasty, they captured the rebel bandit leader alive. The bandit leader finally committed suicide in prison.

It seemed that the rebellion was easily put down, but during the counter-insurgency war, a chieftain stationed himself in Kunming on the pretext of counter-insurgency. Two months after the rebellion was put down, he suddenly became violent!
The chieftain's name was Sha Dingzhou.

"Have you found out!?"

Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty, looked ugly, extremely ugly. Ever since he escaped from Kunming City with his family in embarrassment, he had never had a good expression on his face.

"The person who instigated Sha Dingzhou to rebel is a lifelong member of Lin'an Prefecture! He is also the brother-in-law of Pu Famous, the chieftain of Ami Prefecture who rebelled before. His name is Tang Jiabin!"

Hearing this, Mu Tianbo's face, which had been so composed for many days, finally changed.

He was so furious that he overturned the table in front of him on the spot, drew his sword and slashed wildly while roaring: "Only a small soldier! How dare you assassinate me! I treat Sha Dingzhou so well! Take it for granted." The head of all departments! He was promised a high official and generous salary! He held many banquets in the palace! He actually caused my wife to be separated! He hurt me! Ah! Mother!"

The words and hatred made his eyes almost split open and tears streaming down his face!
When Sha Dingzhou rebelled, because of the previous rebellion, the Ming army mobilized some chieftains to help Wang Shi quell the rebellion, so they were able to garrison troops in Kunming.

During the rebellion, Mu Tianbo was unprepared in the Duke's Mansion in Kunming City, with only the guards from the Duke's Mansion around him.

Facing the chieftain's army, he was naturally unable to resist, so he could only escape from the city with his official seal and hereditary iron certificate under the desperate cover of several guards.

His wife, concubines, and mother also tried to escape under the cover of another guard, but the pursuers could not escape. In the end, the guards were all killed and wounded, and they could only burn themselves to death in a nunnery.
