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

Chapter 387 Yunnan, your king is back

In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, July 20th, more than half a month had passed since Zhu Chu entered Guangxi and launched full-scale treatment of the plague in Guangxi.

The situation in Guangxi is very bad.

However, with the help of the system and his violent methods to punish corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen, Zhu Chu turned the tide and saved countless people.

And because Guangxi's crops are also harvested twice a year, and in some places it can even be harvested three times a year.

So as long as it survives this most painful period, Guangxi will have hope again.

This has also led to the fact that Zhu Chu's virtuous name is now being sung throughout Guangxi.

It also brought the entire territory of Guangxi into Zhu Chu's sphere of influence.

Guangxi originally had a population of more than 1.46 million.

Unfortunately, this plague and man-made disasters caused hundreds of thousands of casualties.

As a result, only one million people survived.

Wang Fu was stunned and said quickly: "Your Highness, aren't you allowed to come over to discuss the marriage?"

But now that the matter is over, with the end of the matter in Guangxi, Zhu Ming also plans to continue traveling to the southwest.

In order to meet Hou Dagou, Zhu Chu set out from Xunzhou Prefecture, first went west to Nanning Prefecture, and then continued west to Zhen'an Prefecture.

As a result, both women lowered their heads, looking worried, not knowing what they were thinking.

But with a population of one million, it only takes five months to make money back, so Zhu Zhen does not feel that he is losing money.

Zhu Ming looked over coldly.

After all, she is also the daughter of Wei Guogong Xu Da, isn't she?

"Go away," Zhu Ming said in an angry and funny tone, this old Wang.

Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin exchanged glances. They were funny and angry, but also felt a lot more relieved.

For example, Hou Dagou kept chasing Wang Fu along the way, asking for advice on how to serve His Highness well.

After learning that Hou Dagou was now following the King of Dian, many Yao people volunteered to join the army, allowing Hou Dagou's army to gather one hundred thousand people again.

As the army marches forward in mighty force, every time it passes through various prefectures and counties, it is inevitable to be welcomed by the people.

But he also tried his best to save people, spending no less than five million in resources alone.

The loyalty of the current Yao militiamen has already caught up with other troops of Zhu Chu, especially Hou Dagou, and even more so with Wang Fu. They are extremely pious.

Zhu Ming was also very sad.

But do you want her to compromise? She couldn't do something so shameless.

Saying they are good sisters will only drag you down.

Hou Dagou immediately understood and reached for the saber on his waist.

On average, each time you save a person, you need to spend at least five points of resources.

Xu Miaojin knew that Mu Qiu had a very important position in Zhu Chu's heart, so he didn't dare to put on airs.

As Zhu Chu prepares to return home, the two women have been feeling more and more stressed recently. They are finally going to meet the wooden girl. How should they face it?

"Miaojin, aren't you the real wife? You are the eldest wife, what are you afraid of?" Tang Xin looked down on Xu Miaojin.

This is because there are still some herbal medicines in Guangxi, otherwise it will only cost more.

Don't think that one million people is a lot. It's not just a number, it's lives.

But now, in addition to the cavalry he brought all the way from the capital, there are also Hou Dagou's 100,000 Yao militiamen in the team.

Now that Zhu Chun's reputation in Guangxi has reached its peak, it is no exaggeration to say that if Zhu Chun plans to rebel, Guangxi will definitely be the first to respond.

Wang Fu was very pleased and did not hide anything. He shared many of his experiences: "You need to always pay attention to His Highness's eyes. As long as His Highness's eyes change, it is time to kill someone."

Wang Fu quickly explained: "This is our tacit understanding."

Xu Miaojin laughed dryly. It was because of this girl Mu that she had never met before that she was rejected by Zhu Zhao. Even in the morning, she was rejected by him in front of all the civil and military officials, and even in front of her own father.

"We are our own people, it's a different matter." Wang Fu was also shocked. Hou Dagou is such a talent, but he actually wants to use himself as a stepping stone, and wants to kill him to get the upper hand?

"Wang Fu," Zhu Ming said leisurely: "Don't go out and talk nonsense. When did this king become so cruel and unkind?"

"Thank you for your words," Zhu Zhen glared at Wang Fu, then looked at Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin carefully.

In the southwest of Guangxi, if you don’t go to Annan, that’s the only way home.

The plague alone caused nearly 200,000 deaths, and more than 200,000 people died of starvation.

He now has a total of 153.78 million resources, and if he spends 5 million in exchange for the support of the people of a province, there is no business more profitable than this.

What's more, although this month there was no population of one million at the beginning, it still added 11.21 million resources. After five million, there were still more than six million accounted for.

Even if you want to win over the Zhuang people, you can't let yourself sacrifice.

It’s true that we share hardships together, but how can we not share blessings?

"But then again," Zhu Zhen thought of something, looked ahead and said, "That girl Cen Hua is pretty good, you have to hold on tight."

Thinking of returning to Yunnan soon, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but get excited.

Because in the eyes of the people, the court had given up on them, and it was the King of Dian who saved them despite being infected, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the King of Dian.

"Don't worry, you are all my wives. Since I dare to marry you, I promise that no one of you will be wronged, and no one can run away. You can't help but regret it. Because I want them all," Zhu Ming He also clenched his fist as a gesture.

As soon as they arrived at the boundary of Zhen'an Prefecture, they met the 100,000 Zhuang militia troops led by Cen Hua, who had been waiting for a long time.

"General Cen Hua comes to see His Highness," Cen Hua dismounted and knelt down on one knee.

Today, Cen Hua no longer has the original aloofness and aloofness, and she only has deep admiration for Zhu Chu.

Zhu Ming nodded and said: "Get up. Along the way, I saw that the people have regained their vitality, and they have recently begun to harvest this season's crops."

"It's all thanks to His Royal Highness the King of Dian's help and blessings. Otherwise, the people of Guangxi would probably have only nine empty houses out of ten, and no one knows how many families will die," Cen Hua said while subconsciously glancing at Wang Fu.

Wang Fu turned away with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at the girl's fiery gaze.

Zhu Zhen was secretly amused. In fact, during those few days in Guilin, he discovered that as Wang Fu and Cen Hua got along for days, Cen Hua looked at Wang Fu more and more eagerly.

Wang Fu is actually not very old, only 27 or 28, but he is very mature and gives people a sense of security.

Cen Hua's father had just died, and perhaps it was under such circumstances that she developed feelings for Lao Wang.

It's not like Zhu Zhen was the king of the harem who always refused to come, otherwise he would have been so happy on the grassland that he would not miss Shu.

He was actually quite happy and hoped that Wang Fu could start a family soon.

However, Zhu Ming also had a headache when he thought that Cen Hua now held the position of the female chieftain officer of the Zhuang ethnic group in Guangxi.

It seems that we have to find time to convert the Zhuang chieftains into native tribes and turn them away.

Now that he has merged with Cen Hua's Zhuang troops, Zhu Zhen continued westward from Zhen'an Prefecture. Further west, he reached Guangnan Prefecture, which was Nong Zhenyou's territory.

"Finally home."

After officially entering the Yunnan territory, even Zhu Zhen couldn't help but close his eyes in excitement and take a deep breath of the air in the territory.

It has been a whole year, from when he left Yunnan in July of the 26th year of Hongwu's reign to when he returned to Yunnan at the end of July of the 27th year of Hongwu's reign. Zhu Ming has been away for a whole year.

He's finally back.

Thinking back to the beginning, when Zhu Chu found out that he had been reincarnated in the Ming Dynasty, and was also the eighteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was an unknown person in history. He was the only one who lived a relatively long life. He once gave up on himself and just wanted to lie down. It's ruined.

So he thought that he should go out and join the feudal clan as soon as possible. He was very afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang at the time, lest his hidden secret of being a time traveler would be revealed.

Emperor Hongwu was not simple. He could detect Zhu Zhen's hidden ambitions with just a few words of probing. He could even tell that as long as he died, the eighteenth-year-old would rebel on the spot.

Zhu Zhen is afraid of his father.

However, who would have thought that he would accidentally activate the system, and after leaving the capital and coming to Yunnan, he would gradually build his own business.

Not to mention the experience this year has been amazing.

Zhu Ming slowly opened his eyes. In fact, he was only fifteen years old. It had been just three years since he left the capital at the age of twelve, but it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but shouted in high spirits: "Yunnan, your king is back."

Even though he was a middle grader, one could still feel the arrogance in his voice that looked down on the world. In Yunnan, he is the absolute king.

"Welcome my king."

Suddenly, there was a response from afar.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Qiu, dressed in white, appeared in Zhu Chu's eyes and came towards him with a group of cavalry.

Zhu Chu was shocked, his eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "Ah Qiu? My Ah Qiu?"

Why is she here?

Zhu Chu's left and right, Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin were also shocked and looked forward subconsciously.

I saw that Mu Qiu was about the same age as them. He was also young and beautiful, and his appearance was not inferior to that of the two girls. He looked straight at Zhu Xi running towards him and shed tears because of his excitement. I felt pity for him even more. .

And although Mu Qiu is said to be a Tujia girl, that is just the name of the indigenous people. In fact, Mu Qiu is fair and beautiful, and she is truly fair and rich.

Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin looked at each other quietly and felt a lot of pressure.

At this time, Zhu Chu also rode towards him. The two of them ignored the two hundred thousand troops behind them and the tens of thousands of troops behind Mu Qiu. In front of hundreds of thousands of eyes, Mu Qiu jumped on his horse from a long distance away. go out.

Zhu Ming quickly stretched out his hands and held his wife in his arms, who was flying towards her like a bird in the forest.

With Nephrite in his arms, Zhu Chu used some strength, as if he wanted to rub Mu Qiu into his body and never separate it.

Mu Qiu also hugged Zhu Chu tightly and said with tears, "I thought Your Highness would forget about A Qiu and no longer want A Qiu."

"Silly words, you are my wife, and you can only be my wife in this life. Besides, didn't I ask that Shen Wang to write a letter? Later, there was an imperial edict. My father has made you my partial concubine. Don’t you know?” Zhu Ming asked worriedly.

Mu Qiu nodded. She had already received the imperial edict, but she still said: "I don't want any side concubines. As long as I can follow you, I will have no regrets."

Zhu Chu was moved in his heart.

Mu Qiu had said before that she would rather not have a status, even if she was a slave.

What can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?

Zhu Ming resisted and refrained from kissing her, but he still stretched out his hand to lift Mu Qiu's chin, looked at it carefully, and murmured: "You have lost weight."

Muqiu is indeed somewhat reduced.

Mu Qiu smiled: "As soon as I see you, I will gain weight immediately. I just ask you not to dislike me when the time comes."

Zhu Chu smiled and shook his head. This girl was suddenly so enthusiastic that even he couldn't bear it.

Mainly because I couldn't deal with her on the spot, so I had to change the topic and said, "Speaking of which, why are you here? Did you know in advance that I will be back today?"

Mu Qiu showed a resentful expression and said aggrievedly: "You are now famous all over the world in Guangxi. Who doesn't know that our King of Dian is treating diseases and saving people in Guangxi. But you have stayed away from home, so I can only come to find you."

Don’t forget, Guangnan Prefecture is also the living area of ​​the Zhuang people and borders Guangxi.

Although Guilin Magistrate Liu previously blocked the news and prohibited Guangxi people from going out, the people of Guangnan Prefecture would secretly communicate with Guangxi and provide relief to their clan members.

Therefore, news from the two places still circulates.

So Mu Qiu learned the news that Zhu Chu was in Guangxi, and rushed over.

We happened to meet here.

"I also heard that you were surrounded by 100,000 Zhuang wolf soldiers in Guangxi? How dare you threaten my Royal Highness? Let's go and destroy them right now," Mu Qiu raised his face and showed a fierce gaze, which was quite fierce.

But Zhu Ming smiled and said: "Now those 100,000 wolf soldiers have become my subordinates. Look, the female general named Cen Hua is the chieftain of the Zhuang tribe."

"Oh?" Mu Qiu glanced at Cen Hua, nodded, and said with approval: "She is a female general."

"Don't be jealous, Cen Hua is just my subordinate," Zhu Zhen explained subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qiu glanced at Zhu Xi in a funny way and said, "I know, she didn't even look at me. Instead, she secretly looked at Brother Wang intentionally or unintentionally. But these two are different."

Mu Qiu said, looking at Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin.

There was no hostility in Cen Hua's eyes, so Mu Qiu knew that she had nothing to do with her man.

But the two daughters of Tang and Xu were different. They were sizing up and examining themselves, so Mu Qiu took the initiative and said, "I guess they are Miss Xu Miaojin from Duke Wei's family and Miss Tang Xin from Duke Xin's family, right?"

As for how Mu Qiu knew the identity of the two girls, even Zhu Chu was a little surprised and asked, "How did you know?"

Mu Qiu glanced at Zhu Qi faintly, but what he didn't say was that the imperial edict issued by Emperor Hongwu not only made her a partial concubine, but also included a letter warning her.

She can only be a partial concubine, and Zhu Chu's main concubine can only be Xu Miaojin or Tang Xin. It depends on Zhu Chu's choice.

If Tang Xin came from behind and got Zhu Chu's preference, maybe Tang Xin would become the royal concubine.

But no matter which one of them becomes the concubine, it won't be her turn.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind telling Mu Qiu straightforwardly that with your background, you can only achieve this position. What would it be like if Mu Qiu became the queen of Mu Yi Tianxia in the future?

So Mu Qiu guessed that these two were probably his 'sisters' whom he had never met before.

Mu Qiu glanced at Zhu Chu, suddenly jumped out of his arms, stood on the ground lightly and flexibly, then bowed to the two girls with clasped fists, and said: "Although A Qiu Chi is two years older than the two girls, But when it comes to seniority, you should call the two elder sisters. Sister Xu, Sister Tang, and Aqiu are polite here."

Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin looked at each other, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly turned over and dismounted. Instead of acting like little girls, they clasped their fists in return with military general etiquette, and said one after another: "Don't dare, since we are all a family, you You are the eldest sister. After all, you got started first."

The first meeting between the three girls was considered a friendly encounter.

Among them, the one who was most worried was Zhu Min. Seeing that the three girls could live in harmony, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous. If you are good, I will be good. It is really good if everyone is good."

"What a mess," the three women rolled their eyes at him.

And there are hundreds of thousands of troops watching around, so it’s not good to make people laugh all the time.

Zhu Ming also felt this and said: "Wang Fu, you lead a small team of people as guards. I want you to rush to Kunming, say hello to Muchun, and tell him that the king is back. I want him to go to Dali in ten days. A narration."

"Yes," Wang Fu took the order and left.

Looking at Wang Fu's back who left without looking back, Cen Hua bit her lip with resentment in her eyes.

"Cen Hua, although you are the chieftain of Guangxi, the Zhuang people are not divided into families. I have given you an order to recruit Zhuang wolf soldiers again in Guangnan Prefecture. Remember, you cannot forcefully recruit military personnel, but the common people Join the army voluntarily, and forget it if you don't want to. At the same time, I promise that those who want to join the military can register as military residents, and those who don't want to will not force it."

"Li Jinglong, you follow Cen Hua and help each other."

Zhu Ji then gave orders.

Cen Hua's heart moved, and she remembered that Zhu Xi had said before that there would be a tough battle next. Is it true?

Zhu Chu brought back 200,000 soldiers and horses from Guangxi, as well as 15,000 elite soldiers from Peng Yue and Niu Sheng, plus Yunnan's own hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Isn't that enough?

How big of a battle is this going to be?

Cen Hua couldn't help but shudder, and at the same time accepted the order with her hands clasped in fists and left.

This is in Guangnan Mansion, and she can recruit troops there.

With the replacement of the former chief chief Nong Zhenyou and the influence of the return of the local people, there are no other Zhuang chiefs or chieftains in the local area. Although Cen Hua is from Guangxi, the Zhuang people do not divide their families.

Zhu Ming then issued a series of orders, such as asking Peng Yue and Niu Sheng to lead the troops, and asking Hou Dagou to accompany one hundred thousand Yao militiamen, asking them to go directly to Dali Mansion, where they would camp and rest.

"Your Highness, where are you?" Qian Gui and Gu Wen heard that Zhu Chu seemed to have other plans?

Zhu Zhen pretended to be mysterious and smiled and said: "You will know in the future. You two gentlemen, let's go to Dali together first. I still have things to do and will go back soon."

It is equivalent to saying that as soon as Zhu Zheng returned to Yunnan, he disbanded his army on the spot.

But don't forget that Mu Qiu also brought a large army with him.

I saw Zhao Kuo and Mu Sheng coming with 10,000 troops each.

"See Your Highness."

The two looked at Zhu Ming excitedly. After not seeing each other for a year, the two generals looked even more energetic.

Zhu Ming nodded and said, "Let's go to Simodian first. If we need to reminisce about old times, we can talk on the way."

That's right, as soon as Zhu Chu came back, he had to go to Simodian first.

There was the arsenal that he had always entrusted with important tasks. It was said that even the Hongyi cannon was manufactured, and there were three types of cannonballs.

Hope I can give him good news.
