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

Chapter 41 Is he very arrogant?
In fact, since ancient times, in order to manage border areas, the Central Plains has always needed to find a way to stabilize these ethnic minorities.

For example, the Duhufu during the Han and Tang Dynasties only sent officials from the Central Plains to various countries in the Western Regions to guard one area.

During the Song Dynasty, the sprout of chieftain had actually appeared, and it was finally officially established during the Yuan Dynasty.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, the original purpose was to eliminate the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty as soon as possible, that is, the previous King of Liang, "Bo'er only weighed a lot of Zala Valmi", so that he could successfully conquer Yunnan.

So Zhu Yuanzhang appeased the chieftains, saying that as long as they did not continue to follow Yuan Ni, his interests would not be harmed and he would let them continue to be chieftains.

So in the end, only the Duan family of Dali remained unchanged and disappeared along with Yuan Ni.

However, a clan like the Mu clan chieftain has survived intact.

Today, Yunnan is headed by three major chieftain clans.

They are Mu's Tusi from Lijiang, Xuanfusi from Nandian, and Dao's Tusi from Yingjiang.

Among them, Nandian Xuanfu Si is the most special, because he was born in Yingtian, that is, from Shangyuan County, Yingtian Prefecture, Nanjing, and his surname is Gong.

However, as he followed Zhu Yuanzhang and made many achievements in the southern and northern wars, and Yunnan was soon conquered, Zhu Yuanzhang specially rewarded him with the title of Nandian Xuanfu Division, and changed his surname to Dao, calling him Dao Gong.

In other words, in order to control these chieftains, Zhu Yuanzhang specially let a Han be the chieftain.

And the location of Nandian Xuanfu Division is in Tengchong.

Zhu Zhen began to fall into deep thought.

Yingjiang Daoshi is almost the most border county, only one step away from Myanmar.

Then there is Tengchong's Dao Gong clan.

So there are at least two major chieftain clans that don't need to be taken care of.

Lao Zhu used the Dao Gong clan to divide one of the three major Tusi clans, and then used the Dao Gong clan to control the Dao clan.

The biggest problem now is that the Mu family in Lijiang is too close to Dali.

And looking at the records in the memorial, Zhu Zhen sneered: "Does he regard Lijiang as his territory?"

He didn't even give Xipinghou face?

So majestic.

Zhu Zhen was so angry that he laughed and said, "I'm afraid even I, the vassal king, won't be able to work with him."

After all, the Marquis of Xiping conquered Yunnan with his own hands, and he didn’t even give Mu Ying face?Why is this Mu family chieftain so arrogant?
Why is he?
What's more, the purpose of cultivating fields is to benefit the people, so that everyone can have food to eat and land to grow. What's wrong with that?
In fact, Yunnan during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties was not wealthy, with a population of only 30, at least half of which were Han people who had migrated from the Central Plains over the years under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even until the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan's population had only grown to more than 100 million.

The main reason is that the chieftain culture is far away from the farming culture of the Han family.

Therefore, most of Yundi is uncultivated wasteland. The fields Muying has led the army and people to cultivate in the past ten years are countless times the number of fields in Yundi before.

In fact, the major Tusi ethnic groups in the past even lived a slash-and-burn lifestyle, which meant that men and women cooperated to cut wood, burn grain, and sow miscellaneous grains without fertilizing or watering them. When the land became barren, they moved to other places without a stable residence. .

It was not until the establishment of the chieftain system that these clans had a stable place to live.

In particular, the chieftain system is hereditary and replaceable, as stable as the iron hat king.So these chieftains are the real emperors.

Why did the Dao family obstruct Muying's reclamation?The reason was that they did not want Mu Ying to occupy the land. The Dao family planned to cultivate it themselves. Not only would they get a large amount of land for free after the completion, they would also be able to let the local people in the ethnic group grow food.

The chieftain had too much power, and the native people had to pay not only grain and material taxes, but also various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

These are all benefits.

"Heqing County, right? It seems that we have to take a trip tomorrow. Wang Fu, let's make some preparations. Didn't Zhao Kuo always complain about not taking him with him last time? Let's take his troops with him this time. "Yeah," Zhu Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

Wang Fu and Li Shuran were both stunned.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this," Li Shuran shouted quickly, saying what he just said was in vain?Isn't it just because the Mu clan chieftain still has a role that even Xiping Hou Muying had to compromise?

Good guy, are you planning to send troops to attack your own people?

"Ha," Zhu Ming sneered: "What? Isn't it okay for me to go out and inspect my territory? These are my guards, why not go with me? Lao Li, I am the king of Yunnan .”

Li Shuran was speechless immediately.

After all, Zhu Zhen didn't mention a single word about attacking Mu's chieftain, right?
But his thoughts were already clear.

Even Wang Fu persuaded him earnestly: "Your Highness, please calm down for a moment. Why don't you ask someone from a humble position to inquire about it?"

"Shit, I don't even give you the face of the Marquis of Xiping, why should I give you the face of a commander? What a Mu family, what a chieftain, so majestic. I am the king of Yunnan, I want to go and see for myself, Look at how arrogant they have become. Go and see how this local emperor has oppressed the people."

"I haven't become arrogant and domineering yet, why should he?"

The more he talked about it, the angrier he became.

He is the prince, and he still wants to be arrogant and domineering.

If he hasn't enjoyed the blessing yet, why should he?
Co-author: Do you care about this?
Li Shuran and Wang Fu looked at each other and could only sigh with a wry smile.

Seeing that Zhu Chu had made up his mind, he couldn't persuade him anymore.

Li Shuran also had some regrets. He just wanted Zhu Zhen to understand various situations in Yundi, especially the complicated chieftain system.

It was still the early Ming Dynasty, but in the mid-Ming Dynasty and even the late Ming Dynasty, these chieftains simply launched a rebellion, causing the entire Yundi to lose millions of land.

Again, these chieftains are just unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. It’s useless no matter how nice you are to them. As long as the Central Plains court is weak, they will rebel because they have never truly integrated into the Han culture from the beginning to the end. , and I didn’t feel that I was already a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

For the chieftains, they themselves were the emperors of the land, just like those subordinate countries. If the suzerain was weak, they would rebel, and if the suzerain was strong, they would pay tribute.

But at least for now, the stability of Yundi still needs the cooperation of these chieftains. Otherwise, there are at least a dozen or twenty ethnic minorities in Yundi. Once they all get into trouble, how will they be dealt with?

Li Shuran regretted it extremely now. If he had known that the prince was so violent, he should not have shown him these memorials.

But it's too late to say anything.

And after reading the memorial about Mu's chieftain, Zhu Zhen became serious and quickly checked the situation of Yundi and Dali.

Li Shuran didn't know whether to be happy or regretful.
