Zhu Yicheng had previously told Wu Sidao that the forces of the three provinces of Yun, Guizhou and Guizhou were complicated and had become a warlord. Zhu Yicheng planned to fight between them first and then come out to clean up the situation.

In fact, the situation in these three provinces is more complicated than Zhu Yicheng expected. In addition to the fact that he had originally calculated the power, as time goes by and the changes in the world, the local mountain people in the three provinces have also begun to stir up trouble.

Historically, whether it is Guangxi, Guizhou or Yunnan, the three provinces belonged to ethnic minorities, and there were many ethnic groups in these mountain people and were good at tossing and making trouble. Although the so-called poor mountains and rivers came out of troubled people, this sentence is derogatory, but it is not wrong. Whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, these provinces were less peaceful and more troubled. In addition, the power of local tribes was deeply rooted, so the court must appease and use these people to rule if it wants to control the situation.

These local tribes include Han people and native people, but they often have the same title, that is, chieftains or headmen. Nominally, the place belongs to the court and the country, but in the eyes of the areas and populations they control, these chieftains and headmen are masters, and except for the master, the rest are slaves.

Looking at the various dynasties, local chieftains and head men rebelled everywhere, and even the era known as the "Kangxi prosperous era" in history was inevitable. Moreover, after Zhu Yicheng came to this era, he did not feel any so-called "prosperous era". Instead, when a brand new Ming Dynasty was born from him, China showed great vitality in these years.

Now, for these three provinces, it can be said that the world is in chaos, especially the forces of the three provinces intertwined. After the war between the parties, the local forces gradually became restless. According to military reports, there have been several local chieftains and heads gathering to rebel in the three provinces, which is particularly serious in Guizhou.

After Gao Jin's troops entered Guizhou, the Qing army in Guizhou naturally had no power to suppress those local forces in order to fight Gao Jin. When this opportunity came, these local forces were of course unwilling to be lonely, so they attempted to take advantage of the troubled waters to build a "big cause".

The same is true in Yunnan. Compared with Guizhou, Yunnan's ethnic minorities are more complex, but Guangxi is much better. After all, Zhao Hongcan has been in Guangxi for a long time, and he used local wolf soldiers in Guangxi to build a strong army that is considered good based on this. At the same time, Zhao Hongcan also won over many leading figures in Guangxi, making it secretly form a small group with common interests.

Although Zhao Hongcan initially did this to fight against the Ming army of the Qing court and Zhu Yicheng, the accident was the case, which was a coincidence, and this reason led to most of the local forces in Guangxi joining forces with Zhao Hongcan. Even if some other forces took this opportunity to emerge, the overall situation was still under the control of Zhao Hongcan.

Faced with such a situation, Zhu Yicheng was even more reluctant to interfere in the war between the three provinces. He even wanted these three provinces to make a big fuss, the better. No matter who the final winner was, it was not a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty. If all parties could fight to death, the Ming Dynasty would no longer have to consider how to rule these three provinces.

Whether it was the previous Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, although the transformation of the land and the flow of the land was effective, the effect was limited. If the land and those forces disappeared, then the Ming Dynasty would save much more effort in the future. Of course, it would be impossible to sit and watch them fight and want such a result, but what if the Ming Dynasty added a fire and poured some oil on it?

Although this is a disaster, Zhu Yicheng's heart is a good opportunity. Even if he cannot get it once and for all in the future, after his vitality is severely damaged, the Ming Dynasty will easily hold these places firmly in its future rule and implement new policies.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng became more and more moved. He picked up his pen and wrote a few words on the military newspaper, and then placed it aside solemnly.

He planned to ask the General Staff to plan to advise the staff and come up with an executable plan. Besides, even if this matter fails in the end, it will not cause any harm to the Ming Dynasty. But once it succeeds, the profit will be huge. Why not do it?

With a slight smile on his face, Zhu Yicheng picked up another military newspaper and looked through it. But he was stunned after reading a few lines. Then the smile on his face gradually faded away, replaced by solemnity and anger.

"Bastard!" Zhu Yicheng suddenly cursed, raised his hand and threw the military newspaper to the ground. At the same time, he stood up and walked a few steps with the wind.

But after a few steps, Zhu Yicheng calmed down a little. He turned around and looked at the military newspaper that was thrown on the ground, frowned and thought about it, and walked back and lowered to pick it up, and opened it again. This time, in addition to the solemn and angry expression, there was a hint of sharpness and sneer. After a moment, Zhu Yicheng returned to the chair and sat down, raised his voice and shouted. Soon a small yellow door guarding outside the door hurried in.

"Go! Come find Dong Dashan."

As soon as Zhu Yicheng finished speaking, Xiaohuangmen responded quickly and hurried out. After waiting for a while, Dong Dashan rushed over from the military office not far from the side hall.

"Have you read this military newspaper?" Zhu Yicheng asked bluntly when he saw Dong Dashan.

Dong Dashan was confused and didn't understand what was wrong for a moment. Seeing him like this, Zhu Yicheng felt even more angry, but he still suppressed it and signaled Xiaohuangmen to take the military newspaper to Dong Dashan.

After taking the military newspaper, Dong Dashan quickly opened and looked at it. He knew that the military newspaper had just been transferred from the Military Affairs Office to Zhu Yicheng. As a senior official in the court and the Minister of Military Affairs, Dong Dashan had certainly read the content of this military newspaper. This military newspaper was sent by Zhuang Yan from the north. The content mainly talked about the situation in the northern war. At the same time, it also mentioned that the Qing army in Shanxi had attempted to attack Zhili, and had several small-scale battles with the Ming army at the junction of the two borders.

"Emperor, this... this military newspaper..." Dong Dashan was still a little confused. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this military newspaper. Moreover, the military newspaper stated that although the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army had a war, the situation was not big, it was just a small-scale battle. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's losses in these battles were far less than those in the Qing army. From this point of view, it can be said that they had won the battle.

Seeing that Dong Dashan still didn't understand, Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but get angry. He emphasized and said, "Ten days ago, the Qing army attacked Huaian and fought!"

Dong Dashan was stunned and looked at the description of the battle in the military newspaper. After reading the details, he vaguely understood what Zhu Yicheng meant. In fact, the scale of the battle in Huaian was not large. The Qing army sent only more than 2,000 troops, and the Ming army was only more than 1,300. In addition, the battle did not break out in Huaian, but was more than 1,300. The encounter between the two armies was also accidental.
