Chapter 3 Taking over Yunnan?

Finally, the day of departure that Zhu Xi had been longing for after traveling through time had finally arrived.

But Zhu Zhen ignored one thing, that is, it is the Ming Dynasty, it is 'ancient', and this means of transportation is really torturous.

In fact, he is quite good and can ride in a carriage.

Among the accompanying guards, only Wang Fu, the commander, and his lieutenants had mounts. Most of the soldiers were walking infantry.

Moreover, Zhu Chu also had a soft and comfortable futon to sit on, and there were even a variety of delicious pastries, nuts, and even candies in the carriage.

However, there was no white sugar at this time, although white sugar was actually invented in China, and it was invented during the Ming Dynasty.

But now, even Zhu Zhen, as a prince, can only eat brown sugar.

Zhu Ming looked at the large pile of brown sugar in his hand and threw it aside in disgust at the ugliness. This thing was really hard to eat.

Mainly because as modern people, we have seen good things, so we are indifferent to these.

"But we are science students after all, so we might be able to develop something," Zhu said with great confidence.

After all, if you learn to be physical, you won’t be afraid of traveling around the world.

It's a pity that his later subjects were mainly information and computer subjects. It would be more comfortable if he really studied physics.

"Wang Fu, how long do we have to go?" Zhu Min had nothing to do. He opened the curtain of the carriage window and asked Wang Fu, the escort commander who was following the carriage.

Wang Fu raised his head and looked ahead, then looked around, thought for a moment and said, "It's almost here."

Zhu Chu just watched him pretending, because Wang Fu had done this to him countless times.

Wang Fu was also used to Zhu Ming's inquiries.

The main reason is that it has been more than 20 days since they left Yingtian. God knows how much they have suffered along the way.

Fortunately for Zhu Zhen, he is not old now and his body has not spread out and grown up, so he can curl up in the carriage and sleep.

Those soldiers, including Wang Fu, were all sleeping on the ground.

At most, light a few bonfires at night.

Fortunately, it's early autumn and it's not too cold yet.

Moreover, in order not to say hello to those unfamiliar brothers, Zhu Zhen specifically ordered the troops to bypass the cities along the way, except for necessary supplies. On the pretext of not disturbing the people, he did not want to come into contact with anyone as much as possible.

As a result, Zhu Chu not only did not cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, but somehow gained a lot of good reputation.

You must know that Zhu Zhen is a prince. Unless he meets other vassal kings, any official, big or small, must be received with the highest standards, and whatever he wants, he must be satisfied as much as possible.

This was the early Ming Dynasty, and Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive. The princes of this generation were not fake.

Moreover, the soldiers discovered that along the way, Zhu Zhen did not hold a high position, and sometimes even left the carriage and came to eat with the soldiers carrying a big pot of rice.

They had never heard of such an approachable prince.

So even the soldiers driving the carriage smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we are pretty fast. I heard that some of the people who were moved to Yunnan even had to go for half a year or even more than a year. We can arrive in a month at most. .”

"Talk too much," Wang Fu glared at the soldier.

Zhu Ming asked curiously: "Why do you want to move? Is it because you can't survive in your hometown?"

He was really curious. After all, his father was very good to the people. Comrade Lao Zhu hated those corrupt officials and cruel officials, and those corrupt officials and cruel officials harmed not the people.

But why do people have to migrate in large numbers?

Wang Fu had no choice but to explain: "There is indeed such a reason. Some people do not have much farming in the local area. In addition, Yunnan was just pacified by Xipinghou (Muying), Yongchanghou (Lanyu) and General Fu Youde a few years ago. , in order to prevent Yunnan from causing trouble again, His Majesty decided to move the people from the Central Plains to live there, and gave many people land."

I see.Zhu Zhen secretly understood that to put it bluntly, it was still a stable place.

But it can't be said that it's not bad. After all, Wang Fu also said that as long as the people of the Central Plains go there, they will be given land. It is naturally not a bad thing for some people who can't live in their hometowns to make changes.

Although I don’t know how true or false Wang Fu’s words are, or how concealed they are.

Then, the troops continued on their way, and as the soldiers driving the carriages said, they were marching troops, and as soldiers their quality was naturally higher than that of ordinary people.

So a month after they left Yingtian, they finally arrived in Yunnan.

"May I ask if the person who came here is King Min's carriage and his entourage?"

Suddenly, a shout came from the front of the army.

While Zhu Zhen was wondering, a messenger had already rushed to Wang Fu to tell him the situation.

It turned out that a group of people in front blocked the way and asked about their identities.

Wang Fu asked what Zhu Chu meant with his eyes. Seeing that Zhu Chu had no intention of interrupting, he ordered: "Bring the person here."

"Yes."

The messenger immediately took the order.

After a while, a middle-aged general was brought to the carriage.

As soon as Wang Fu saw this person, he quickly got off his horse, clasped his hands in his fists and said, "Commander Wang Fu has met the Crown Prince of Xipinghou."

It turned out that this general was Mu Chun, the eldest son of Xiping Hou Muying.

Zhu Ming looked at Muchun's appearance curiously and found that although this man was not a tall and strong man, he had an aura of calmness and authority about him, and he looked like a veteran at first glance.

In fact, Mu Chun has indeed followed his father Mu Ying in the wars since he was 17 years old, and he is often the vanguard, which shows that his strength and courage are both excellent.

Moreover, Muchun did not dare to be proud, but he also clasped his fists and saluted: "I don't dare, I am just a servant, how dare I let you visit me."

After all, Wang Fu is the commander, and Qianshi is usually the commander's deputy.

For example, Wang Fu has two commanders and four commanders under his command.

However, Mu Chun was, after all, the heir apparent to the Marquis of Xiping, and this was a hereditary and irreplaceable title. Although Wang Fu's background did not count for status, he had no title to inherit.

So Wang Fu is still very self-aware.

Then, Muchun turned around again, cupped his fists and bowed to Zhu Chu in the carriage: "Mu Chun is waiting here to welcome King Min on my father's orders."

Zhu Ming rolled his eyes. One of them was curious about how Mu Ying and Mu Chun knew his itinerary. At the same time, he was also thinking to himself that as the King of Min, his original fiefdom should be in Min County, Min Mountain.

But now he was transferred to Yunnan.

And their Prince Mu's Mansion has always been guarding this place, and even their Prince Mu's Mansion is the King of Yunnan.

Muchun deliberately mentioned King Min, was he implying something?
But he said: "No need to be polite, we are still relatives after all. Your father, Marquis Xiping, is my father's adopted son, so I have to call him eldest brother. Just call me uncle."

Both Muchun and Wang Fu's eyes twitched. Why does this prince like to take advantage?But it doesn't seem like he's taking advantage entirely.

Muchun looks to be almost 30 years old this year, and he is sixteen or seventeen years older than Zhu Chun.

But the seniority is here, and Muchun can only say awkwardly: "Follow the king's order. Well, little uncle, please come here. The Xiping Marquis Mansion has been waiting for you half a month in advance."

It turned out that he had been waiting half a month in advance.

Zhu Ming was relieved.
