Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

King Anhua is a branch of Prince Qing of the Ming Dynasty, the fourth son of Prince Jing, and in the 19th year of Yongle, he became the king of Anhua County. The fief is in Anhua, Gansu, which is Qingyang County, Gansu in modern society.

However, the prince's fiefdom and the palace of the Ming Dynasty are two different things.

The current king of Anhua is called Zhu Zhixiong, and his palace is in Yinchuan City, Ningxia.It's like King Ning's fief is in Liaodong, but the people live in Nanchang.

According to historical records, this person has always had an antipathy.In fact, since Zu Jingnan made a bad start in the Ming Dynasty, the local feudal lords who had any ambitions made rebellion their lifelong ideal.Especially during the Zhengde period, Emperor Zhengde was the son of heaven as a young man, and with his stubborn personality, he was even more ready to move after he was in conflict with the civil official group.

Because of the growing conflict between Emperor Zhengde and the civil officials, in the mouths of all officials and the world's scholars, the young emperor was constantly smeared by them, and became a first-class absurd and foolish emperor throughout the ages.

It seems that under his rule, the Ming Dynasty was already in darkness, and there were mourners everywhere.The imperial court and Jiangshan Sheji are already on the verge of collapse. As long as someone stands up and calls out, they will naturally respond in groups.As long as someone reaches out and pushes gently, the wall will completely collapse.

Therefore, during the end of the Zhengde Dynasty, the rebellion of the local vassals seemed to have never stopped, from King Huai, King Anhua, to the last King Ning.

It is also for this reason that after Zhengde, the imperial court finally strengthened the surveillance of the princes.The vassal king is not allowed to intervene in local government affairs. The number of guards in the palace is strictly regulated, and officials are stationed in the palace. Without his order, the vassal king is not allowed to leave the city.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings were finally raised as pigs by the court, and there was no longer any threat to the central government.

Probably because Zhengde was too young, and was constantly vilified by bureaucrats and literati, the local princes were finally believed, and felt that this was a ridiculous child. It was very easy to defeat the evil Zhengde and stupid king.

But it was only when the incident started that it was not as easy as imagined.Not only were the soldiers and civilians all over the country united in suppressing the rebellion, but also the emperor Zhengde, who was like a child with a yellow mouth, was very powerful in terms of military talent and political skills.

Only then did they realize that they were all deceived by the civil servants.Among civil servants and scholars, this imperial court has never been satisfactory, the world is always full of darkness, this imperial court is full of villains, and it is utterly corrupt.But when you really started an incident, you realized that the power of the imperial court was unprecedentedly strong.Only at this time did the rebels understand that speaking ill of the emperor and the imperial court was simply a way for the civil servants to stand out and attract people's attention.I was fooled by them, public knowledge is harmful!

In the real history, King Anhua also felt that if he raised an army, he would definitely be supported by the people of the world because he saw that the civil official group and the Emperor Zhengde were in conflict, and the emperor was also described as a clown by the world.

Especially after Liu Jin's military system reform, the army's hearts were in turmoil.The imperial court is afraid that it will be difficult to even organize an army to counter the rebellion.

The matter had to start after Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia resigned.

After the resignation of the two ministers, Liu Jin took over the power alone, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the civil servants and angered the cabinet.

Therefore, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xie Qian, the second assistant, took the lead, joined by Jiuqing, and jointly signed a letter, asking Emperor Zhengde to kill Liu Jin and other eight tigers.

Unfortunately, at the end of the matter, Emperor Zhengde chose the latter again between civil servants and eunuchs, and resorted to a series of thunderous means to firmly grasp the monarchy in his hands.

By this time, the cabinet knew that what it had done was useless.

Frustrated and disappointed, Liu Jian and Xie Qian resigned as cabinet ministers and retired.

In this way, Liu Jin finally became a generation of powerful officials under one person and above ten thousand.It can be said that the entire imperial court is under his control.

Eunuch Liu played well, and he was in power, so he naturally had to make some political achievements to establish his authority.

He is a rough old man who doesn't know anything about state affairs and can't intervene in them.In addition, through these two contests, Lao Liu also realized that civil servants are not easy to deal with. Every time he fights with them, it can be said that he is on the field of life and death.There is also some fear in my heart, and I don't want to hide from them.

In contrast, the army is easier to deal with.Especially the local reclamation army.The frontier army is not easy to mess with, so let's use you military households who are not as good as farmers to make a big deal.

Therefore, Liu Jin proposed to Zhengde to re-measure the land of military households.

It turned out that the Ming Dynasty implemented the military household system.According to the population, military households are divided into hundreds and thousands, and they are under the jurisdiction of military officers at all levels. ; Farming on weekdays, when encountering war, prepare food, grass and equipment to fight the enemy.All military salaries are provided by military reclamation.

The land cultivated by military households is also taxed, which is divided into several points according to a certain ratio.

The problem is that since the Hongwu year, the land owned by military households has become less and less. By the time of Zhengde, the number had dropped to [-]% of that year.

Where did so much land go? Obviously, it would not have grown wings and flew away by itself.No need to think about it, I also know that the officers must have concealed the amount of land, secretly assigned it to their own names, and made it a private property.

As far as Su Mu knew, when Hu Shun was an officer of a hundred households in Baoding, he concealed about fifty acres of dry land.

The status of military households in the Ming Dynasty was low, and their descendants were not allowed to take the imperial examination, and they had become pariahs.Liu Jin felt that there should be no serious consequences if they were operated on, and the civil servants would not intervene.

Eunuch Liu decided to bully the honest man this time to gain political achievements for himself.

But he didn't want to, but this time, King Anhua saw an opportunity.

Re-clearing the land of military households naturally caused great dissatisfaction among the army, especially in Ningxia's Yinchuan Plain, where the profits of farming are huge.As soon as Liu Jin's new policy came out, all the military households in Ningxia complained.

Therefore, King Anhua sent someone to contact the capital of Ningxia to command Zhou Ang and other officers to rebel suddenly. Blackmailed the kings of the Qing Mansion, plundered tens of thousands of gold coins, and used them as military funds.At the same time, enfeoffed generals, guarded the passes, and repeatedly counted Liu Jin's crimes in the prose, fighting against the imperial court!When the news came, Guanzhong was shocked.

Seeing, a chaos is coming.

Zhengde also urgently activated Yang Yiqing, the trilateral leader of the year, and ordered him to lead [-] troops into Shaanxi to rebel.

But before they entered Shaanxi, King Anhua was captured alive, and the riot was quelled within nineteen days.

The one who captured King Anhua alive is the current Ningxia Youji General Qiu Yue.

After King Anhua's uprising, Qiu Yue feigned surrender to the rebels, and later made a plan to transfer the main force of the rebels to the east to defend the Yellow River defense.Leading hundreds of guards to a beheading operation, they directly captured King Anhua's family alive.

After King Anhua was captured, the rebel army had no leader, so they naturally dispersed, and the chaos was easily quelled.

Also because of such a great contribution, Qiu Yue was named Xianning Bo by the court, and transformed from an ordinary officer to an imperial noble.

……

Thinking of this, Su Mu's heart suddenly moved, and he thought to himself: Now that Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia have resigned, Liu Jin has completely angered the civil official group.If nothing else happens, in real history, the cabinet and the Jiuqing jointly wrote a letter asking Emperor Zhengde to kill the Eight Tigers. The event will happen soon, and the result will end with Liu Jian and Xie Qian's resignation.

After Liu Jin's power has grown, he must start reforming the military system and clearing the land of military households.

King Anhua's rebellion will happen next year at the latest. At that time, Hu Shun can be asked to take the credit that should have belonged to Qiu Yue.

Next, Lao Hu can follow Qiu Yue's method to arrest King Anhua and his gang.

In this way, a great achievement will not be achieved.

History, in fact, can be replicated.

Putting down the rebellion and rewarding him for his merits, Hu Shun should be able to become an earl.

Although there is still a certain distance from the throne, it is also the most important step.

The more Su Mu thought about this plan, the more he felt that it was feasible. If he wanted to realize it, he must first not change history too much.For example, when Jiuqing impeached the Eight Tigers, Su Mu could only watch from the sidelines, watching Liu Jian and Xie Qian step down sadly.

Thinking of the kindness of the two pavilions for teaching him, Su Mu suddenly felt guilty.

However, after thinking about it, the elders of the two pavilions are getting older anyway.Even if there is no such thing, it is estimated that he can only work for a few more years in office.

It's a big deal to take care of their descendants in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Mu smiled wryly, and couldn't help muttering: Old man, if it wasn't for my son, would I have done my best for your plan? I, Su, should be the one who owes you!

Hearing Su Mu's voice, Zhao Hulu, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, turned his head and asked, "Master, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing..." Su Mu pondered for a moment: "Hulu, let me ask you, where is Master Hu Shun Hu now?"

Zhao Hulu: "My lord, you forgot. The last time lord Hu brought a letter saying that he is currently inspecting military affairs in Zhongwei, Ningxia. He said that he will return to the capital to report on his duties in one month. When it gets hot every day, the border will be quiet for a while, the Tatars are afraid of people, and they don’t know where to hide in the north.”

Su Mu was startled, and then shouted: "Drive faster, go to Yinchuan."

Zhao Hulu: "My lord, aren't you going to Yan'an to meet the masters of the Xuezheng Yamen?"

Su Mu: "Not going, just go to Ningxia."

The most important thing now is to keep Hu Shun in Shaanxi so that he doesn't rush back to Beijing.Otherwise, what kind of rebellion is there?

After speaking, Su Mu still felt uneasy, and sent a fast horse to go ahead, and brought a letter to Hu Shun, telling him to wait for him first, don't rush back to the capital this time, and have something urgent to say.

After the fast horse set off, Su Mu's team traveled day and night, all the way north.
