Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 151 I will be your chieftain

"That brat wants to rebel."

"Look at the things he did, which one of them should he do as a vassal king?"

"Besides, Hu Yuan is a veteran of our Fengyang Camp, and he will kill him as soon as he says it? He is the special envoy sent by us personally. We gave him some privileges. Why should he take them back?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious there, counting Zhu Chu's things in detail, each one seemed to be evidence of treason, as if Zhu Chu had launched an army to rebel.

Zhu Biao felt sad. He wanted to ask his father, why Hu Yuan abolished the Yongchang government system and replaced it with the Golden Tooth Guard, and even became a Tusi emperor there. He was obviously an official of the Ming Dynasty, but he implemented the Tusi people. system, how could he ever take you seriously?
Is Zhu Chu your son, or is Hu Yuan your biological son?
The [-]th brother explained Hu Yuan's crimes clearly one by one. He even explained to you clearly what the [-]th brother wanted to do. The [-]th brother has a long-term plan and wants to implement the system of reforming the native land and returning it to the locals. Taking the opportunity to eliminate most of the Yunnan chieftains in one fell swoop is a national event.

"After all, it is a special period. As the king of the Yunnan vassal, the eighteenth brother is his duty to guard the border and defend the country. And according to what the eighteenth brother said, Hu Yuan, as the commander of the Golden Tooth Guard, attacked Dali with a sword. Turning a blind eye and watching on the sidelines, just to retain his power. This is the reason why the eighteenth brother wants to kill him. Hu Yuan is the hidden danger, father," Zhu Biao persuaded with sincerity, saying good things for Zhu Chu.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and said angrily: "Is it still our fault?"

After all, it was he who sent Hu Yuan.

"Father, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.

Logically speaking, there are many demands in front of the emperor, especially in court meetings. These so-called physiological phenomena are all offensive.

You dare to fart.

My ass is opened for you.

Even among the supervisory censors, there are people who specialize in supervising the misconduct of officials in early court.

But this is Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to be angry with Zhu Chu again, and asked with concern: "Biao'er, don't be anxious, speak slowly. Someone is here to send the imperial doctor."

Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, finally calmed down, and said hurriedly: "Father, there is no need to be like this, my son is fine."

Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Prince Zhu Biao is fine.

It is enough to show Zhu Yuanzhang's preference for Zhu Biao. One hundred Zhu Biao can't catch up with one Zhu Biao. No matter how big the troubles of Zhu Biao's bastards are, they are not as good as Zhu Biao's coughs.

"Father, I still feel that at least in the Yongchang Mansion matter and the Hu Yuan matter, the eighteenth brother did nothing wrong, and you should not punish him. What's more, Dao Ganmeng was able to take advantage of the chaos and get out of Yongchang Mansion smoothly. To send the army all the way to Dali City, what use are Hu Yuan and the Golden Tooth Guard?" In fact, Zhu Biao rarely said such serious words.

But it concerns the eighteenth brother, who is his Zhu family, his younger brother, and his family.

And Zhu Chu did not exaggerate. In his memorial, he stated that there were only [-] defenders in Dali City at that time, and he only had [-] soldiers and horses to go to the decisive battle with Silun.

Here we have to face the huge pressure of Silun's hundreds of thousands, and we have to face a fierce sneak attack from behind.

Even Zhu Biao could feel the level of crisis Zhu Min was in at that time.

No matter how you, Hu Yuan, have used your privileges to dominate before, at this critical moment, you just don't send troops to support, but you just sit back and watch, giving the enemy a chance to sneak attack on Zhu Chu's base camp?

If you don't kill me, who will you kill?
"If the Eighteenth Brother and Brother Mu Ying were not unparalleled in bravery, once Yunnan was lost, how big a loss would it be to my father?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know something that even he could understand?

If Silunfa wins and takes this opportunity to occupy Kunming, and Daogan fiercely takes Dali, by then the entire Yunnan will be lost.

Moreover, Silunfa will take the opportunity to connect the entire Yunnan, and all chieftains, big and small, will have to surrender.

By then, Silunfa would be able to recover Luchuan where he stood, and his power would not only be hundreds of thousands, but even millions of soldiers.

How difficult would it be to wait until the imperial court completes the mobilization of the army to conquer Silunfa?
I'm afraid it will really cost the entire Ming Dynasty.

However, the Beiyuan Dynasty continued to fight. Japanese pirates invaded the coast from time to time, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet settled down.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. Of course he knew all this, but he was the emperor. When he looked at things, he could not only look at the current situation, but also consider more far-reaching things.

That is, whether Zhu Zhen will rebel.

I can still suppress those feudal kings when I am alive, but when I die, what should I do if these feudal kings disobey their eldest brother Zhu Biao?
Do you think Zhu Biao is really on top of Mount Tai?

No, including the second, third, and even the fourth, especially the fourth. As the King of Yan Zhu Di followed Fu Youde's army to the Beiyuan battlefield this year and also made military exploits, that boy's reputation also became famous in the land of Yanjing, and even the fourth. Everyone in the capital has become famous.

These brats are not fuel efficient.

In the end, Zhu Biao was still here interceding for them?
"Biao'er, are you really not worried about your eighteenth brother's self-respect in Yunnan?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help it anymore, so he directly broke the window paper and expressed his worries.

Zhu Biao raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

Isn’t that the one you sent to Yunnan?Aren't you worried about Mu Ying's self-respect in Yunnan?

Sure enough, is the most ruthless emperor's family?
Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh miserably: "Father, don't you still believe in your son?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is so angry, who am I for?

Sometimes, Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless with his son.

Zhu Biao always felt that his father was ungrateful and murderous. Now he couldn't even trust his own son.

But in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about Zhu Biao. Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid that Zhu Chu would dare to rebel against him, but Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Zhu Chu would rebel against Zhu Biao.

"Let's not mention those things about him. Let's take a look at this." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to continue arguing with Zhu Biao, so he took out another secret envelope, which he originally wanted to throw away.

But Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways at Zhu Biao's pale face and sighed: "Why are you standing so far away? Can I still eat you? Come and sit down."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang even stood up and made room for Zhu Biao to come and sit down.

How could Zhu Biao dare to overstep his bounds and refused again and again.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to ask a young eunuch to bring him a matza, and Zhu Biao finally sat down.

Zhu Yuanzhang also personally delivered the secret seal to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao opened it and found that everything Zhu Ming had done recently was recorded in detail.

Since Mu Ying reported a victory before, but Mu Ying did not know what happened after Zhu Chu chased Dao Ganmeng, so it started from Zhu Chu leading his army to chase Dao Ganmeng, until Zhu Chu returned to Dali, and even to him He led five thousand guards including Wang Fu to patrol all parts of Yunnan.

Even Zhu Chu's encounter with Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan when he was in Yongchang Mansion was recorded.

However, because Zhu Chu was careful at the time, no one knew the content of the conversation between Zhu Chu and Zhang Sanfeng.

Otherwise, if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about the prophecy about five dragons in the same dynasty and two dragons playing with pearls, he would not simply be furious, but should quickly send an urgent summons from [-] miles away to let Zhu Yu enter the capital.

Zhu Biao carefully looked at the contents of the secret folder, but his reaction was completely opposite to Zhu Yuanzhang's. Not only was he not anxious or worried at all, but he smiled with relief and approval.

"Eighteenth brother has done well, well done, Father," Zhu Biao raised his head with excitement, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "I finally know what the eighteenth brother mentioned about changing his native land and returning to his hometown. .”

If Etao is allowed to stay in Yingjiang as the county magistrate, he will not be able to return to Jingdong and continue to be a chieftain officer. Moreover, Etao has left his original territory and tribe. After all, Yingjiang is not his headquarters, and he cannot make trouble.

After all, Etao was a chieftain who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. It was difficult for Zhu Zhen to deal with him. After all, Zhu Zhen definitely didn't want him to go back and continue to be a chieftain officer, so how could he change his position and return to his hometown.

Then many of Zhu Chu's actions were also recorded in detail.

This even includes what Zhu Chu said when he restored the government system in Yongchang Mansion, that he would completely abolish those chieftains, and then the court would be able to completely control Yunnan, instead of like now, where every chieftain in Yunnan has his own autonomy. It's just like a concession.

Zhu Biao was excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also excited. Seeing that Zhu Biao was full of praise for Zhu Cun, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Take a closer look. That guy used his own money to reward the whole army. After this battle, Yunnan was from top to bottom All the officers and soldiers below are already his private soldiers."

"And he also wants to go out on patrol. He is just patrolling. Do you think I don't know his purpose? He is going to completely surrender the 20 natives who surrendered before."

"Now even Mu Ying praises him so much that he wants to leave Yunnan and return to the capital to resume his life. Who can control him then? He has the final say in all of Yunnan, and he has become the real king of Yunnan. .”

Zhu Yuanzhang got angry when he mentioned this. Less than half a year after Zhu Chu went to Yunnan, he suddenly became a prince. Even he felt shocked when he thought about Zhu Chu's current power.This guy hides too deeply and his methods are too high.

If he is allowed to completely establish himself in Yunnan, he can recruit millions of soldiers in just three years of development.

Looking at Zhu Biao's harmless appearance, can he stop the rebellion of this eighteenth brother?
He couldn't, how could Zhu Biao win over these brothers who had fought on the battlefield.

No, he must not be allowed another chance to grow.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his plan: "So I plan to let Zhu Chu go to Minshan to join the feudal clan after the New Year."

Zhu Biao was stunned, changing the domain?
"But the eighteenth brother not only has no fault but also has great achievements. Father, how can you change the fief for no reason?" Zhu Biao exclaimed.

"He was originally the King of Min," Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he felt guilty, and he was still very happy now. Fortunately, Zhu Yu's title was the King of Min, not the King of Yunnan.

In this case, you can still use the account ban as an excuse.

Zhu Biao was speechless. What did you think first?When you sent your 12-year-old eighteenth brother to Yunnan, didn’t you want him to be the King of Min?

Zhu Biao initially thought that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Mu Ying to take care of his younger brother, but now he understood that Zhu Ming went to Yunnan to control Mu Ying.

Zhu Yuanzhang even doubted his own son, let alone his adopted son.

But seeing the threat from Zhu Zhen getting bigger and bigger, he turned around and wanted to deal with his son.

Zhu Biao's eyes were filled with disappointment.

What's the point of being born into an emperor's family if you have to face conflicts between the same roommates and even the gap between father and son?
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao felt stuffy in his heart and he couldn't help but want to cough, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened and he shouted angrily in horror: "The Imperial Physician."

Zhu Biao collapsed again. His illness was not cured, and because the prince's official duties were heavy, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed Zhongshu Sheng and the prime minister, and wanted to complete the transition as soon as possible, so Zhu Biao gradually took over the affairs of state affairs.

This also caused Zhu Biao to be overworked. Coupled with Zhu Biao's delicate mind, various reasons came together, which actually worsened Zhu Biao's condition and completely collapsed.

Because of Zhu Biao's illness, Zhu Yuanzhang could not take care of Zhu Chu's affairs for the time being, so he did not mention Zhu Chu's change of feudal land.

At this time, Zhu Zhen, who was far away in Yunnan, didn't know what was happening in the capital. He had been away from Dali for more than half a month, and it was almost the end of the year, but he was quite happy to miss Shu and didn't want to go back to Dali.

On this day, Zhu Chu came to Simodian.

This is already close to the southernmost part of Yunnan. If we go further south for a few days, we will probably reach Annan (Vietnam) and the Country of Eight Hundred Daughters-in-law.

Simodian naturally belonged to the chieftain tribe and had its own chieftain officer.

But the former chieftain officer didn't know what he was thinking, but he wanted to follow Silun and launch a rebellion, but he was beheaded by Zhu Zhen.

Now, with the sudden arrival of an army led by Zhu Chu, the whole city's natives stood on the streets of the city with indifferent expressions. There were thousands of them, even 3 or 20 who had been released by Zhu Chu. Survivors of [-] surrendered troops.

"What? Isn't there even a person in charge here now?" Zhu Zhen rode on a horse, surrounded by five thousand accompanying guards, and scanned the people around him.

Although the population of Simoden is not small, the number of strong men who were recruited at the beginning alone was tens of thousands.

But so what?Of course Zhu Ming has his own absolute confidence.

You had hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield, but you were defeated by tens of thousands of people led by me. If it weren't for my kindness, you would have been completely wiped out.

Just like in Yingjiang City, every household is left with old, weak, women and children.

The able-bodied men who are now alive are all the prisoners who Zhu Chu spared his life in the first place.

"Why don't you kneel down when you see His Highness King Min?" A guard shouted loudly, exuding a murderous aura.

The honest people in Badajiao were immediately frightened. Although they almost didn't know what the guards were shouting, because many natives didn't speak Chinese, so naturally they couldn't understand.

But the murderous aura coming out of the battlefield was not fake.

"Thousands of thousands of years."

Suddenly, the strong men in the crowd remembered the slogans they had shouted along with the large army that day, and they knelt down one after another.

Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get up. Does anyone understand Chinese? Come out and speak in person."

It's not that Zhu Ming gradually got used to or began to like the feeling of being surrounded by people kneeling down and worshiping him. The main reason is that he came here with his own plans, and he wanted to completely conquer these surrendered troops.

So it is natural to show the attitude of a winner.

Zhu Chu is no longer a three-year-old child, and he understands that blind kindness will be regarded as weakness, so he must be tough when it is time to be tough.

After a while, an old man came out of the crowd. His hair and beard were gray, and he was holding a cane in his hand. He was helped by some people and came to Zhu Chu and others.

It seems that this is also a person with high reputation and status.

"See your highness," the old man came to Zhu Zhen and bowed.

Zhu Chu didn't dare to let him kneel down, what if his old body and old bones were broken here again.

Zhu Ming raised his hand and said, "Get up. I wonder what the old gentleman's identity is?"

"The old man was originally the previous chieftain and the father of this current chieftain," the old man revealed his identity.

No wonder he was surrounded by people. He was indeed a high-ranking old man.

Zhu Zhen sneered: "Take him out and chop him."

The guards immediately took action. They went up to pick up the old man and pull him out to chop him.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness, why is this happening?" the old man shouted in shock and anger.

Zhu Chu glanced at the old man, then looked up at the surrounding natives who dared to be angry and dare not speak, and said to Mu Qiu beside him: "Ah Qiu, translate for me."

Although the native tribes of Yunnan are divided into various races, they all live in the same place after all. Even though each ethnic group has its own culture and customs, their languages ​​​​are very different and have similarities. .

So Mu Qiu did his part and became Zhu Chu's translator.

Under Mu Qiu's translation, Zhu Zhen said loudly: "Your chieftain blindly followed Silun and rebelled, ignoring the kindness of our Ming Dynasty. Such unfaithful and unfilial people should be punished. And since you, old man, are When you took office as chieftain, you didn't stop your son. He would have killed the nine tribes when he rebelled. Besides, you had the crime of not reporting and not stopping after knowing the truth. Why are you asking me?"

"Here comes someone, kill his whole family."

Following Zhu Chu's order, the city suddenly became chaotic.

After all, the old man had also served as a chieftain. When he saw Zhu Chu's butcher knife was about to be swung, he shouted on the spot: "Mingren is unkind. He is trying to destroy my clan. How long will it take if I don't do it now? Come with me and kill him." Got them."

However, the strong men did not move.

Some natives were a little restless at first, but these people were basically old, weak, women and children. When the original chieftain officer started to rebel, he took away all the strong men.

In other words, today's strong men are all former surrendered soldiers. Once they remain silent, the old man will not be able to call anyone.

Zhu Ming raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, old man, you still want to cause trouble? I might as well tell you the truth, I am here to eradicate your clan of chieftains. Because I promised those who surrendered before, I not only let go They go home to live a good life, and we need to let them live a good life.”

"Notify the whole city that after the death of the chieftain clan, I will re-measure the land and redistribute land and food rations to each household."

"I just want to win people's hearts. As long as you follow me, no chieftain will be able to oppress you anymore. I will be your chieftain."

The whole city was in chaos, but instead of besieging Zhu Zhen's troops, they began to spontaneously help the Ming army find the remnants of the chieftain clan.
