Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 190 Finding Faults?No, it's regaining lost ground
In fact, ever since the new grain became available, the strengths of Yunnan, Siam and other countries are no longer on the same level.

The people of this era, no matter which dynasty they belong to, only want food and clothing. After meeting this condition, they only think about how to feed their children.

This situation will continue for a long time before the desires of these ordinary people swell to a certain extent. If there is an uninterrupted war, this stage will be extended indefinitely.

At this stage, ordinary people will work hard in the direction that can provide them with food and clothing.

Again, what these ordinary people value is not which country they are from, but which country treats them as a person.

Nanzhang, the Champa Kingdom, and the Khmer, who were already weak to the point of death, all began to think of ways to prevent the exodus of their people, but they forgot one thing.

Their reliance is also the main force that prevents the people from leaving the country, that is, their soldiers are ordinary people.

-

Ava.

In the southwest of Yunnan, there is a large area where the Ming Dynasty ruled. Starting from the Hongwu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had no binding force.

By the Yongle Dynasty, the Qianning Prince's Palace in Yunnan was exhausted by Chen Jikuo's Dayue Kingdom, so naturally he had no energy to take care of it.

But in fact, the place where Zhu Zhanhe is now is no longer under Ming's control.

Places like Mengding Prefecture, Mengyang Prefecture and Mengengen Prefecture are still Ming Dynasty at least in name, but in Ava...

"Bansile has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Han."

Bansile was covered in cold sweat. Although he lowered his head, his fear could not be concealed at all, which could be seen from the slight movements of his body.

It is hard to imagine that this man could be the king of the Ava Dynasty.

That's right, Ava, where Zhu Zhanhe is now, is the capital of the Ava dynasty, and Bansile in front of him is the king of the Ava dynasty.

"Now it's not the heir of the King of Han, but the heir of the King of Wu." Hearing Bansile's address, Mu Xin couldn't help correcting him.

"This..." Bansiler was stunned.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was the largest dynasty around the Oara Dynasty. It is impossible for Bansile, the King of Ava, to know nothing about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the title of King Wu was from the Hongwu Dynasty.

After all this time, there was no way he wouldn't know.

"These titles are not important." Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand and sat on the main seat naturally.

Bansiler looked at Zhu Zhanhe, who was very natural, with a dull expression on his face. Although Mu Xin on the side was also surprised, he didn't have much reaction.

But just because it’s not there on the surface, doesn’t mean it’s not there in the heart.

This is Ava. Since it can be called the Ava dynasty, and you want to meet the King of Ava, it must be in the same place.

royal palace.

Zhu Zhanhe sat on the throne of the Ava Palace in such a grand manner.

"Your Highness, you..." After a while, Mu Xin couldn't help but remind him.

However, his thoughts were different from Zhu Zhanhe's.

"Bansile." Zhu Zhanhe kicked Erlang's legs and looked at Bansile in front of him.

"Do you know what I'm here for today?"

Bansiler suddenly broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.

What are you here for?Bansiler knew it, but he didn't dare to say it, or even think about it.

But even if he controlled himself not to think about it, the [-] soldiers outside the hall reminded him all the time.

I think back then, Zhu Zhanhe destroyed Chen Jikuo's Dayue Kingdom with only 3000 people. However, the current Ava dynasty can actually rule a place not as big as Chen Jikuo's Dayue Kingdom.

Bansiler couldn't help but feel his liver tremble when he thought of this.

However, will Zhu Zhanhe be the kind of person who just looks for trouble?
Although his previous methods were ruthless and cruel, they all had a reason.

The dead souls who are hung up in his name are either corrupt officials, profiteers, or foreign enemies. They can all find a suitable reason.

Have you ever seen rotten scholars like Hu Guang and Huang Huai choosing to attack Zhu Zhanhe based on his reputation as the God of Killing instead of attacking from other aspects?
Because there is really no place where Zhu Zhanhe violated the rules!

Killing corrupt officials and profiteers was either sent by Zhu Di or tacitly approved by Zhu Di, not to mention foreign enemies.

It was the same this time. He came to Ava for a reason.

Bansile didn't speak for a long time. Zhu Zhanhe didn't have time to play with him, so he immediately launched an attack.

"In the 16th year of Hongwu, you sent Bannan Sule to Beijing to pay tribute, and the following year you sent him again. Finally, you asked Emperor Taizu Gao to establish the Burmese Propaganda Department in Qi'awa."

"Since then, you Ava have become one of the three propaganda and six comforts in the southwestern part of the Ming Dynasty."

"In the fourth year of Yongle, the emperor responded to your request for "begging for an official to govern" and established the Dagula Xuanwei Department, Dewuala Xuanwei Department, and Demasasa Xuanwei Department."

"and!"

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanhe lowered his body and looked at Bansile, who was dripping with cold sweat.

"If I remember correctly, Grandpa Huang ordered at that time that the three announcements and six consolations in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and the current three announcements and nine consolations, were 'all returned to central Yunnan for deployment.'"

"You said, I remember correctly, right?"

"No...no, Shi...His Royal Highness...the memory is very good." Ban Sile kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Now, he finally figured out why Zhu Zhanhe was here.

To put it nicely, the King of Han in Yunnan is now vassal... Oh no, it was King Wu who started to sort out the affairs of Yunnan, and took action against the three announcements and nine comforts that had been left unmanaged because he had no time to take care of them.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Zhanhe came here because of him, the king of Ava.

Why do you say that?Because according to the practice of establishing the Xuanwei Division before the Ming Dynasty, Ava cannot be called a dynasty, but can only be called a tribe.

Similarly, he, the King of Ava, will naturally no longer be a king, he can only be said to be a chief.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe came here to dig up his Ava dynasty...oh no, it should be said that he came here to dig up his Bansile roots!

As the saying goes, clay figures are still earthy, and rabbits bite people when they are anxious. An idea slowly emerged in Bansiler's heart.

however……

"Oh, right." Zhu Zhanhe said suddenly, startling Bansile.

If there is something wrong in his heart, he will scare himself anytime, especially now that Zhu Zhanhe is still in front of him, how can he not be scared?
Zhu Zhanhe looked at Bansile with a funny face. He might not know Bansile's thoughts, but he could guess Bansile's current state of mind.

"Don't place your hopes on those guards outside you."

With a simple sentence, Zhu Zhanhe completely extinguished the fire that had just been ignited in Bansile's heart.

No, we can’t say it was extinguished, because...

Bansile still has fantasies in his heart, but whether his fantasies will become a reality is uncertain.

After all, fantasies are just fantasies most of the time, and you can also regard them as wishful thinking, because only those that are successfully realized can be called fantasies.

……

After leaving the Ava Palace...oh no, it can only be called the chief's residence now. Zhu Zhanhe turned his head and glanced disdainfully at this place that symbolized power.

Here, in Zhu Zhanhe's opinion, it is a bit awkward, because this so-called palace is actually not as big as the palace of Japan.

But this is natural, because the Ava Dynasty and the Baigu Dynasty in the south started a war in the 19th year of Hongwu, and this war lasted for 40 years. It is called the "40 Years" in the history here. war".

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but curl his lips.

This name is so careless, but it is indeed true.

"Uncle Mu." After leaving the Awa Palace, Zhu Zhanhe paused, then turned to look at Mu Xin.

"Before I left, I had already sent someone to report to Grandpa Huang, asking him to send officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs. In addition to Uncle Mu's need there, they are also needed here."

"It's relatively easy to get to Ava via the Shu Shendu Road. Once the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs arrive, they will immediately take over the rule here. The first thing to do is to collect and sort out the household registration."

"At the same time, the plan for the new food should also be carried out simultaneously, but remember, whatever seeds the Wu Palace gives, you can distribute the seeds here!"

"Yes!" Mu Xin agreed directly without thinking.

In fact, Mu Ang and Mu Xin had already changed their minds as soon as the edict and imperial edict to change the title came. Although they had not informed Mu Sheng, the current head of the Mu family, of the news at that time, they had been brothers for many years and they also knew that they What would my second brother think?

Zhu Zhanhe didn't care about the title of King Wu, because for him, it was just a superficial title change.

Except for Zhu Zhanhe, everyone else cared about it.

Zhu Gaoxu was concerned because he knew the special meaning of the title King of Wu.

The Mu family is concerned because for them, the title of King of Wu has more meaning than Zhu Gaoxu.

At the very least, it tells them who they should listen to in Yunnan in the future.

Therefore, neither Mu Sheng nor Mu Xin had any doubts about Zhu Zhanhe's orders this time. Even if Zhu Zhanhe went too far this time and led his troops directly into the Ava Palace, Mu Xin still followed him behind.

Even though Mu Sheng knew how dangerous it was to attract people from Siam and other countries this time, he still went to Shenghua Mansion without hesitation.

……

At the same time, Yingtian Mansion, Chang'an Street, Jin Mansion.

With the arrival of April, Jin Zhong fell ill directly as recorded in history. Even if the imperial doctor started to nurse him back to health early, it was of no avail.

Jin Zhong couldn't even get a month.

"Your Majesty, life and death are determined by fate. Shizhong is already in his sixties. Compared with ordinary people, he is already a long-lived person. What's more, he has sat in the position of a minister for such a long time."

"Shizhong, it's worth it..."

Zhu Di looked at the minister in front of him, who was also an old friend, and felt a sadness in his heart that an emperor should not have.

Can't say a word.

In Zhu Di's life, there may have been many people he could turn into his confidants, but after Jingnan and after he took the throne, there were only two people who were still his confidants in his heart.

One is Yao Guangxiao, and the other is Jin Zhong.

Both of them were the top contributors to Jingnan, but after he took the throne, Yao Guangxiao declined all his rewards and entered Tianjie Temple to rectify the chaos of Buddhism and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Jin Zhong became Minister of the Ministry of War, throughout his life, Jin Zhong did not use this power to seek anything for himself and his family.

The only time was when Jin Zhong relied on his friendship with him and asked him to adopt the child into his name to continue the relationship.

Looking at the old minister and old friend Jin Zhong in front of him, Zhu Di really didn't know what to say.

In these years, Yao Guangxiao rarely left the Tianjie Temple except to inspect the construction progress of Shuntian. If Jin Zhong left, he would really have no one who could speak freely.

"Du An..." Zhu Di did not speak, and Jin Zhong was not surprised. He had even thought of it and turned to look at Yao Guangxiao early.

From the first year of Yongle to the thirteenth year of Yongle, Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black of the Ming Dynasty, left Tianjie Temple for the first time for personal matters.

"My time is up, now I leave it to you..."

Yao Guangxiao took a deep breath, lowered his head and closed his eyes. He held a palm with his right hand and twisted beads with his left hand. His lips kept moving, but no sound came out.

Not long after, bursts of crying came from the Jin Mansion, and someone started throwing white money in the yard.

The breeze was blowing, and several ghost coins danced with the wind. They floated out of this small yard and flew into the distance on the wind.

Suddenly, the wind stopped, Ming Qian was swaying in the air, and finally fell weakly to the blue brick road in Yingtian City.

dusk.

A team full of white people walked out of Jin's mansion. In the heavy coffin lay a person who would never wake up again. The pedestrians on the street didn't know why, but they still subconsciously avoided the road.

For the common people, Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, was still too unfamiliar, and was far less famous than Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs.

But in the hearts of officials, Jin Zhong was one of the most important people in the Yongle Dynasty.

At the door of Jin's Mansion, Zhu Di put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the door of Jin's Mansion, quietly watching the funeral procession fade away without saying a word.

If it weren't for the white tuanlong suit on his body, people who don't know would probably think that this is just an ordinary man.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do..."

I don't know how long it took, but Yao Guangxiao, who was standing behind Zhu Di, spoke in a low voice.

However, Zhu Di said nothing, as if he didn't hear it.

"Jin Zhong's child, Your Majesty should find a way." Seeing that Zhu Di was silent, Yao Guangxiao spoke again.

But this time, Zhu Di finally reacted.

"I won't treat them badly, just like I didn't treat Jin Zhong badly."

"But what are you going to do?" Yao Guangxiao asked immediately after Zhu Di finished speaking.

Yao Guangxiao's words made Zhu Di silent again.

Jin Zhong only did one private thing in his life, that is, in the seventh year of Yongle, he asked Zhu Di to help carve out a nephew who was a military craftsman, because Jin Zhong was already over 50 years old at that time and had no children. The nephew adopts his name and continues the legacy.

In fact, the matter of opening the military craftsmanship is under the control of the Ministry of War, and Jin Zhong is the Minister of the Ministry of War. This matter is really simple for him, but Jin Zhong still did not show favoritism, but chose to report it to Zhu Di .

Perhaps, this is also a good thing, because it was precisely because of this incident that Jin Zhong's biological son was born.

In the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di lamented that Jin Zhong had to go through the "front door" instead of the back door even for favoritism. He also felt that it was not good for Jin Zhong to have no children, so he suggested that Jin Zhong take a concubine.

However, Jin Zhong and his first wife had gone through many hardships and had a deep relationship, so Zhu Di's previous interrogations failed to get Jin Zhong to take a concubine.

In the end, Zhu Di issued an edict on this matter, ordering Jin Zhong to take concubines.

In desperation, Jin Zhong had no choice but to obey the order and choose a virtuous and virtuous Zhao family as his concubine. And this Zhao family did not disappoint everyone. In January of the 13th year of Yongle, that is, three months ago, she Jin Zhong gave birth to a son.

Jin Zhong saw his own son before he died, and it was a regret.

However, problems also followed.

With the birth of Jin Zhong's son Jin Da, Jin Ya, who was adopted into Jin Zhong's name in the seventh year of Yongle, became a problem.

If you don't do it right, it will cause chaos in Jin Zhong's family.

"This Jin Ya..." Zhu Di pondered for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.

"Let him go to Yunnan..."

"As for Jinda, let him stay with his mother for the time being. When he reaches the right age, I will let him enter the palace and study with all the emperors and grandchildren."

……

Zhu Zhanhe didn't know that the old man had sent another person to his side, because at this time he was still outside Yunnan, and had even left Ava and came to Dagulasi.

This is not the far south that Ming Dynasty once nominally ruled. The far south is Demasas, but Demasas is currently in Siam, and he will not go there personally.

If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, Zhu Zhanhe will cherish his life.

In addition to Demasas, there are also [-] Dadiansi and Laowosi (homophonous, otherwise they will be criticized). He has not been there, because [-] Dadiansi is also in Siam, and Laowosi is in Nanzhang. .

In Dagulasi, Zhu Zhanhe met, or should be said to have met, someone from another force.

Kunzashi.

"Kunzhaxi has been granted the order of the Protector King of Wu Zangdusi to lead [-] soldiers to assist His Highness the Crown Prince of Wu!"

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the man in front of him with interest, and asked.

"Did the Guardian King ask you to come, or did the Guardian King follow Yingtian's will and then ask you to come?"

This sounds a bit convoluted, but it is actually very important.

Uszangdusi was Tubo during the Tang Dynasty. Like the Ava and Baigu areas, it nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was autonomous.

However, unlike Avabaigu, in Uzangdusi, the court selected local people and granted them status to govern Uzangdusi.

The Guardian King is one of them. In addition to the Guardian King, there are seven such people. Together they form the three Dharma Kings and the five local kings, collectively known as the Eight Kings of Tibet (River Crab).

This Kunzhaxi came under the order of the Guardian King. Not only would Zhu Zhanhe not use these people, he would also let them go back home.

On the other hand, if the Guardian King first obeyed Yingtian's order and then ordered Kunzhaxi to come here to support, then Zhu Zhanhe would not be polite.

The gap between this place and the other place is huge.

"Go back to His Highness the Crown Prince! Previously, His Majesty the Great Emperor issued an edict to the Protector King and ordered the Protector King and King Zanshan to send troops south. Everything is at the command of His Majesty the Crown Prince!"

"I arrived earlier because the Protector King's fiefdom is further to the south. I think it won't take more than ten days for the reinforcements from the Praise King to arrive!"
