Chapter 1024 Annan's Precautions

As soon as he heard his serious words, Zhao Yu immediately became more serious and listened attentively.

But Zhu Xieyuan didn't speak immediately, but just looked at Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin with his eyes.The implication is very obvious.

When Qin Liangyu saw it, he was sensible, and immediately found an excuse, and left with his son and daughter-in-law clasped together.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu was a little surprised. He didn't know what problem Governor Zhu said next, and asked Qin Liangyu and the others to avoid it?

When there were only the two of them left in the tent, Zhu Xieyuan said in a low voice slowly: "If the King of Tang wants to occupy the land of Dongwu, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of shock to these chieftains on the border of the Ming Dynasty. I have been dealing with many chieftains in the southwest for a long time. I know exactly what they are thinking. If someone provokes them, those chieftains on the border may secretly join forces with Dongwu."

Speaking of this, he was afraid that Zhao Yu would not understand, so he explained in detail again: "Dongwu's predecessor was the Burmese military and civilian propaganda envoy of my Daming. Seriously speaking, Dongwu is also one of my Daming chieftains, but It’s just a matter of dissatisfaction with Wang Hua. Now the king of Tang has shown his intention to occupy his territory as a vassal state. If he uses this to provoke the chieftain on the border of Yunnan, saying that Ming Dynasty treats Dongwu like this today, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not treat them like this in the future. There are too many similar words , Those chieftains are afraid that their territory will be treated equally by Daming, and they will lose their minds and do things, I'm afraid it is not impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu was taken aback.When the two armies were fighting, if the friendly army suddenly stabbed him in the back, then the Ming army might really be in danger.

Before he could speak, Zhu Xieyuan said again: "Many chieftains will not be loyal to me, Daming. The She'an Rebellion is an example. The court must be on guard against these chieftains. Even in the long run, reforming the land It is imperative to return to the exile. And this is not good for these chieftains, and there are quite a few who are unwilling to submit!"

The chieftain system of the Ming Dynasty followed the Yuan Dynasty and reached its peak due to historical reasons.After the Ming Dynasty stabilized, those chieftain places where the conditions were ripe would implement the reform of the land and return it to the local people. This policy reached its climax during the Manchu Qing Dynasty.No imperial court would allow the chieftain system to exist for a long time.Probably because of the chieftain system, it boils down to "officials, land, and people", that is to say, the chieftain is hereditary, the territory is hereditary, and the people who belong to them are slaves from generation to generation.This is equivalent to a small kingdom.

Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, the chieftain also had to pay tribute to the imperial court and pay certain taxes to symbolize that the chieftain belonged to the Ming Dynasty.But as far as the Central Plains dynasty is concerned, it is definitely not as good as reforming the land and returning it to the local people, and the chieftain leader naturally does not want to reform the land and return it to the local people. This is the root of the conflict.

Zhu Xieyuan has been in the southwest for many years, and he knows the chieftain's thoughts like the palm of his hand.When he led the army to suppress the She'an Rebellion, he used more countermeasures to counter the people's hearts. If he didn't understand the chieftain's mind, his strategy would not be successful.

After he explained in detail, Zhao Yu finally understood what he was worried about, and immediately nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Governor, I will report to the emperor immediately."

After finishing speaking, he stood still in front of Zhu Xieyuan, and entered the chat group to report to the emperor.

Looking at him, Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart.He was the one who led the army to fight, and his first thought was that if he had the ability to fight, how much easier the battle would be!Suddenly, he came to his senses again. Could it be that the victories in the Liaodong battlefield were due to the emperor using this ability on the battlefield?
He was thinking about it, but when Zhao Yu came back to his senses, he still whispered to him with a serious face: "The emperor also thinks it is reasonable, and Mr. Minge has been reminded. In addition, Uncle Zhonglie, the governor What do adults think?"

Speaking of this, he added in a low voice: "Just now, I saw that the governor asked him to avoid me, so I wanted to ask."

After hearing this, Zhu Xieyuan looked at Zhao Yu a little confused. Is this question the emperor wants to ask, or is it really Zhao Yu's own problem?However, no matter who asked, he answered truthfully and in a low voice: "Shi Zhu is Uncle Zhonglie who is in power. He is full of loyalty, the old man sees that he is also loyal to Daming, and will not be suspicious of the court because of possible things. The emperor dispatched the white-armed army to Dongwu, and I am afraid that he also understands Uncle Zhonglie's loyalty, so Uncle Zhonglie will not something wrong!"

Hearing what he said, Zhao Yu was relieved.Uncle Zhonglie is fine, that's the best!

"The old man asked him to avoid him just now, not because he doubted his loyalty, but because he was talking about the chieftain's administration. After all, it was inconvenient to listen to, that's all." Zhu Xieyuan turned around and walked out after saying this, as if nothing happened.But when he just arrived at the door, he turned around again, and said to Zhao Yu who came out to see him off: "It's convenient for you, so I will report to the emperor on behalf of the old man, if Dongwu still needs military support, as long as there is money and food If you can dial it down, there are plenty of troops here that can fight!"

Daming didn't have no soldiers, but no money.For Zhu Xieyuan, suppressing civil strife for Ming Dynasty is far less eager than opening up territory for Ming Dynasty.If the vassal king's feudal overseas policy starts to be implemented, the Ming Dynasty will expand its borders and land, and it will also set off a new round of actions.He is looking forward to this.

Lian Po is old, and he can still eat three big bowls of him!
With money and food provided by the king of Tang, Qin Liangyu led an army of [-] white rods, and soon set off, all the way to Dongwu.

At the same time, in the Forbidden City, there are earth dragons for heating, so the hall is also very warm.Emperor Chongzhen was playing mahjong with Concubine Hetian, Concubine Yuan and the newly promoted Concubine Hai, and it was very lively.

Originally, Empress Zhou was asked to play together, but even though Emperor Chongzhen said that this Spring Festival should be fun, she didn't agree.So, Emperor Chongzhen played with the three noble concubines.

Just for fun, Emperor Chongzhen began to desert.

Putting down the She'an Rebellion is enough to prove Zhu Xieyuan's commanding ability.From the perspective of the scale of the battle, the ability he displayed was even higher than that of Min Hongxue.Of course, I value the promotion of Min Hongxue not because of his ability to lead troops and fight wars, but because of the measures he implemented to alleviate people's livelihood in Yunnan. There is another one, he was recommended by Wen Tiren.

"Touch!" Concubine Tian Gui shouted amidst her laughter like a silver bell.

Emperor Chongzhen came back to his senses, only to realize that the one he threw out was touched by Concubine Tian Gui. Seeing her smiling like a flower, he didn't care. He smiled and played mahjong again.

But soon, his eyes began to wander again, and he continued to think about what happened just now.

What Zhu Xieyuan said through Zhao Yu really made sense.It would be a pity if this capable person is not put to good use.I don't know why, but in later generations, I have never heard of his reputation.Logically speaking, he is only stronger than Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and others in terms of ability, right?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that in the original history, after Zhu Xieyuan put down the She'an Rebellion, he still needed to continue to deter the Southwest, and he couldn't leave.In the end, he died in office in March of the 11th year of Chongzhen, and did not have the opportunity to go to the Central Plains and Liaodong battlefields.Because of this, his popularity in later generations is much smaller.

The matter he reported about the chieftain really needs to be resolved.But it's not yet time to deal with chieftains. At least we have to wait for the affairs of feudal kings overseas before they have the energy to deal with so many chieftains in Ming Dynasty.If Zhu Xieyuan was to preside over this matter, he would be the best candidate.It's just a pity that Zhu Xieyuan is already old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for that day.

From the meaning of his words, it seems that he still wants to participate in Dongwu's affairs, but there is already Min Hongxue on Dongwu's side.What about other Southeast Asian countries?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but get excited, he slapped his hand, his palm hurt, and immediately came back to his senses, he saw that he had knocked over his mahjong tiles.

"Your Majesty, are you confused?" Concubine Yuan Gui was a little surprised.

"It's so fast, it's impossible, I'll take a look!" Concubine Tian Gui leaned over to verify.

Hai Lanzhu was also full of confusion, she had already stared at Emperor Chongzhen's card, and then pointed to it and said, "It's okay, the emperor is cheating, the emperor is rambunctious!"

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and stood up, and said to Empress Zhou behind him: "No, you have been seen through, you can replace me! A family, the New Year's Eve, should be happy, let go! "

Hearing what he said, the three noble concubines followed suit to invite again.No matter what the three of them think in their hearts, in front of the emperor, they must always behave like sisters!
At this time, Empress Zhou had already seen that the emperor had something to do, and seeing that the emperor had repeatedly invited her to be happy, she felt that she was very important to him, so she did not refuse the kindness again.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the reclining chair again, watched the four wives playing mahjong, and then entered the chat group, chatting privately with Liu Xingzuo, the Commander of Jinyiwei, and said: "All the news about Annan is collected, and sent to the southwest quickly, and handed over to Shaobao Zhu Xieyuan."

What he thought of just now was to arrange for Zhu Xieyuan to deal with Annan's affairs, and to bring the future Vietnam into the territory of Ming Dynasty.In this way, when the Daming Navy sets foot in Nanyang or even goes to Australia in the future, it can use Annan as a supply point or starting point.

Ah, I'm really working hard. Those who celebrate the new year should plan for a rainy day for Daming. Instead of enjoying the blessings of Qi people, they are planning for a better future for Daming!
When Emperor Chongzhen was in the mood to tease himself, there was no Chinese New Year atmosphere in the Dongwu Awa area at all, and there were only teams of soldiers.

In the past, Dongwu was the Burmese Army and Civilian Consolation Commissioner of the Ming Dynasty. He did not have a calendar, but used the calendar of the Ming Dynasty.There are also many Ming people in Dongwu, spreading various technologies.Everything in Daming was the fashion of the Heavenly Kingdom at that time, and was sought after by Dongwu people. Therefore, when Daming celebrates the New Year, Dongwu also celebrates the New Year.

In the forest a hundred miles north of Ava City, a not-so-wide official road winds around the foot of the mountain.In a forest not far from the official road, a group of people leaned against a tree and rested their eyes with their eyes closed. No one spoke, only the wind blowing in the forest and the birds chirping.

Suddenly, a person dug out the kettle, looked up to the sky to drink, but found that there was only a drop or two of water, not even a sip of water.He swallowed, stood up, and wanted to walk to the sound of splashing water in the forest.

At this time, a person looked at him and shouted in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

"Master Fu, my subordinates are out of water, go get some water to drink." The man also replied in Daming Mandarin.

When Fu Yuman heard this, he frowned and said: "Military regulations prohibit drinking unboiled water!"

"Hehe, it's all right, my subordinate has been drinking raw water for so many years, but nothing happened!" The man said with a smile after hearing this, "I've been here for a day and a night, and my subordinate is very thirsty."

Hearing the two of them talking, the others also opened their eyes and looked at the two of them.To be honest, there was no such rule in the military before. It was newly promulgated before the expedition, which made many of them a little unaccustomed to it.To drink water, you have to boil the water to drink it. I don’t know who came up with the trick. It’s so troublesome, and I’m going to torment myself, these poor soldiers!

When Fu Yuman heard it, he said seriously: "Do you know who proposed this, and must the army be required to drink boiled water?"

In the past, even he himself was used to drinking water from the stream when he wanted to drink water, so happy!But at this time, he has to strictly enforce the military regulations.

"Who?" Quite a few soldiers asked quickly out of curiosity.

Some soldiers even said: "Could it be the one who is stupid in reading..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Yuman quickly interrupted: "It's the emperor! The emperor said that there are things in the water that are invisible to our naked eyes, and some are poisonous. Only by boiling the water can these poisons be removed. This will reduce the chance of getting sick!"

"..." Hearing this answer, all the soldiers were dumbfounded.They didn't expect that this was actually requested by the emperor, and it was such an unbelievable explanation.The pawn who just said that reading is stupid subconsciously closed his mouth and lowered his head, trying to reduce his sense of existence.Thinking in my heart, it's so dangerous, I almost said something treacherous!
Fu Yuman looked at their expressions and said sternly: "I didn't really believe it before, but this time the army marched south, as far as I know, there are a lot fewer illnesses and diarrhea, do you understand?"

Speaking of this, he sighed with emotion in a low voice: "The emperor's ability is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he even knows such things, it is really a saint!"

Fu Yuman was the general manager, so he naturally got more information than his subordinates.The words spoken at this time are also authoritative among his subordinates.Therefore, when he finished speaking, his subordinates immediately believed it.The subordinate who wanted to fetch water turned back embarrassingly, so he could only smack his mouth and lick his dry lips.

When a colleague saw it, he threw his water bottle over.After the man finished drinking, he murmured to himself in a low voice: "Are all Dongwu's scouts dead?"

　Thank you for giving me a name!
