Chapter 269 Crazy Plan
Seeing Yin Shen's body, all the soldiers couldn't help but take off their helmets and lowered their heads to watch silently for him.
Zhu Youcheng asked in a low voice: "Does anyone see the scene of General Yin's death?"
The soldiers shook their heads and a soldier replied: "The troops who followed General Yin Shen have all been killed in the battle, and most of the murderers who killed General Yin Shen have turned into coke in the fire, so how General Yin Shen is loyal to the country has become a permanent mystery."
If there weren't a martyr in front of him, Zhu Youcheng would almost laugh out loud. Is this soldier writing a poem? He could only hear his voice low and slow, very much like a standard recitation, especially the last sentence, which is profound and poetic.
Another soldier replied loudly: "Sir, although I did not see the scene of General Yin Shen's death, I can see that General Yin Shen's eyes were injured very clearly."
"Speak and listen."
The soldier was not very clever and told a heart-wrenching heroic story like Yin Shen swallowing his injured eyeballs. However, although it had not been modified, Yin Shen's heroic spirit was still touched so that the soldiers present burst into tears.
Qin Liangyu whispered to Wu Huping: "Why did Lord Zhu ask General Yin's death process?"
"Don't General Qin know? Lord Zhu is Wenquxing. He wants to write down the process of General Yin Shen's sacrifice so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can praise General Yin Shen's reputation. Has General Qin read the "(Dibao) Supplementary"? The stories on the Liaodong battlefield published some time ago were written by Lord Zhu. Unfortunately, Guiyang was surrounded and the newspaper could not be delivered in. I don't know how Lord Zhu praised me."
Qin Liangyu nodded, and a thought secretly emerged in his heart. Seeing Zhu Youcheng's eyes, it was a little special. Wu Huping was shocked when he saw it. It was over. General Qin would not be stirred up by the few words of King Xin. However, Wu Huping was very clever and knew that this matter was not under his control, and he could not control it. So he pretended not to know.
Zhu Youcheng sighed deeply. The material of Yin Shen's story had been collected almost all. General Yin is a hero, and the only thing he could do was to make General Yin famous. Now the post station is open, so he started writing at night and asked the post station to see him off tomorrow morning.
Zhu Xieyuan asked someone to go to the city to buy the best coffin and restrain Yin Shensheng.
------------------
The group returned to the lobby.
Zhu Xieyuan was quite confused. He didn't know how Zhu Youcheng used his very small force to defeat the rebels, so he asked Zhu Youcheng about the details of this Guiyang battle.
Before Zhu Youcheng could speak, he saw Wang Chengen moving a table and Cao Huachun brought in. Zhu Youcheng felt very good in his heart. He knew that Wang Xin was itchy for a moment and was ready to compile the battle in Guiyang into a storytelling for the generals from Sichuan to listen.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Governor, don't ask anymore, listen to the king and say slowly."
As soon as the awakening wood sounded, King Xin began to tell the stories that happened in the past few days, from the plan that everyone had discussed to the fire burning the city, from Zhu Youcheng's anger to tear up Surtai, to the great destruction of the enemy in Chen State Qi, everything was said in detail. After all, he had been guided by experts and taught by famous teachers, King Xin's storytelling was very well controlled. He heard that the generals smiled suddenly, clenched their fists again, and their palms were sweating.
As soon as Xingmu sounded again, King Xin finished his speech. The generals saw Zhu Youcheng's eyes changed again. It was bold and meticulous, which was a good evaluation in the hearts of the generals; it was a bad evaluation in the hearts of the generals.
Zhu Xieyuan sighed for a long time and asked, "What should Lord Zhu do next? Should I go with my official to wipe out another barbarian rebel army led by She Chongming, or should I go back to Beijing directly?"
Zhu Youcheng was a little surprised and asked, "The rebellion in Guizhou has not been quelled yet. Why are you leaving?"
Zhu Xieyuan said: "The 200,000 rebels in Guizhou have been defeated by you and become scattered soldiers. They can no longer have an impact on any county and government in Guizhou. If you send a large army to wipe out these small groups of rebels, it is tantamount to hitting ants with fists. Bullets of mosquitoes with muskets, half the result will be achieved with twice the effort. These things only need to be handed over to the local garrison, and there is no need to bother the army of you and me."
Zhu Youcheng shook his head and said, "No, I will not leave Guizhou until the source of the disaster in Guizhou is cleared. Because no matter what I do, I like to start and end well."
Zhu Xieyuan knew the situation in Guizhou well. As soon as Zhu Youcheng spoke, he immediately understood what Zhu Youcheng meant and asked, "Do you mean the Shuixi'an family?"
He stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, and said, "I will never allow you to move the Xi'an home!"
"But why?"
"Guizhou cannot be in chaos. The Shuixi'an family has been guarding Guizhou for generations. If An family moves, the people of the Yi family will be unstable, and there will be chaos. At that time, Guizhou will be completely in chaos. During this She'an Rebellion, how much military expenditure did the Ming Dynasty invest in Guizhou, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan? Do you know? Three million taels per year are equivalent to the military expenditure of Liaodong. If the imperial court had not reformed the salt administration since the third year of Tianqi and confiscated a lot of money from the unscrupulous merchants, the Ming Dynasty's finance would have collapsed long ago."
"It is precisely because the An family has been guarding Guizhou for generations that I have to move them in particular. Yang Yinglong, Shuixi'an Bangyan, Yongning She Chongming, three riots of the barbarians, which one took the lead in the local chieftain family for generations? This is enough to prove that the chieftain policy of the Ming Dynasty was problematic. The barbarians only knew the chieftains but did not know that there was an emperor. The chieftains guided the chieftains, and the barbarians dared not attack the north. Therefore, as long as the chieftains have ambitions, the rebellion of the barbarians will never be quelled. To solve the rebellion of the barbarians, we must solve the problem from the roots - end the chieftain system."
Zhu Xieyuan pondered for a moment and said, "You are very reasonable, but this matter must be discussed for a long time."
"The emperor said in the poem "Manjianghong" that ten thousand years are too long, and we have to seize the day." Zhu Youcheng pulled the tiger skin of Emperor Tianqi to make a big banner. "Now is a good opportunity. According to the prisoners' instructions, more than 80% of the 200,000 troops that An Bangyan pieced together were borrowed from various barbarian tribes. In other words, if these 200,000 rebels were defeated, the barbarians would never be able to make a big wave again. If we do not make a decision and wait for the barbarians to recuperate, we will have to spend more troops and military expenditure to implement the policy of changing land and returning to the land."
"Manjianghong is a lyric, not a poem, and the top scholar is wrong. However, will the barbarians obey the king's transformation?"
"It must not be, so I plan to eliminate the barbarians."
"What? Zhu Youcheng, you are so tyrannical. If you want to destroy a nation, aren't you afraid of the punishment from heaven?"
Zhu Youcheng waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhu, I will naturally not massacre the people of the Ming Dynasty. Please listen to me and say it slowly. I will write to the emperor and suggest that the Ming Dynasty absorb the barbarians and become the people of the Ming Dynasty. By then, there will be no barbarians in the world, only the people of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Xieyuan was almost confused by him and said, "The Yi people are from the Ming Dynasty, do you still need to absorb them?"
"No, they are geographically Ming people, not psychologically Ming people." Zhu Youcheng said seriously. "I once told the emperor, what is a Ming person? Any explanatory text in the world, who learns the Ming name, gives Ming name, observing Ming rituals, and observing Ming laws are Ming people. Otherwise, they cannot be considered real Ming people, and can only be considered temporary residents of the Ming Dynasty at most. I plan to incorporate the barbarians into the Ming culture and let them share the civilization and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, their sense of national identity will be greatly enhanced, and their national consciousness will gradually weaken, and they will never engage in any independent illegal activities."
Zhu Xieyuan and the generals present were stunned and could not have imagined that Zhu Youcheng had such a crazy plan hidden in his heart. However, if Zhu Youcheng's plan was successful, the southwest of the Ming Dynasty would be peaceful and there would be no war again.
"Does the barbarians agree to do this? All the officials of the court will not impeach us, right?"
"The barbarians are not a single piece of iron. They have conflicts within them. Lord Zhu must have heard that there are two types of barbarians, one is called black and the other is called Baiyi, also called Wazi. The number of black and white people is very small, accounting for only 10% of the total number of barbarians, but this total black and white people occupy more than 90% of the barbarians' wealth. What's even more terrifying is that the black and white people have the right to live and kill, and use violence to force Baiyi to work for them for free. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, black and white people are slaves. We Ming people have begun to abolish slavery since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. How can we watch our compatriots in the Ming Dynasty and endure this bullying? So after quelling the rebellion, I will lead the army to liberate Baiyi and let them enjoy the freedom and equality of the Ming Dynasty."
The generals from Sichuan couldn't help but applaud. Zhu Youcheng's words were filled with deep blood and family affection between his compatriots. It made them feel that overthrowing the brutal rule of Heiyi and restoring Baiyi's freedom was a very just thing. Not to mention that these remarks came to the ears of the censors, they dare not impeach, even if they impeached, they had to do this. Yes, seeing that their compatriots were bullied and indifferent, what kind of person is the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Xieyuan was still a little worried and asked, "Can you guarantee Bai Yi will accept your ethnic policy?"
"The masters don't know that the barbarians admire the Ming culture very much, and they are proud of using the Ming language and wearing the Ming clothes and getting the name of the Ming Dynasty. On the way to Guiyang, I met a group of barbarians. They were neither black and white, nor white, but between black and white. At that time, they wanted to join the army, so I gave them the Ming Dynasty name, and their excitement was beyond words. Later, they asked them to change the Ming clothes and clothes, but they did not hesitate at all. With this clear evidence, I believe that the barbarians will definitely accept my ethnic policy."
Qin Liangyu nodded, made a verbal evidence, and said: "The ethnic minorities in the southwest really admire the Han family very much... The Ming culture is all based on explanatory texts, name Ming, name Ming, obey Ming rituals, and obey Ming laws. Unfortunately, the Han family always has some prejudice against us. Some local officials even leave difficulties to the ethnic minority people who have taken the Ming name, and don't know what they think."
"Silly!" Zhu Xieyuan rebuked lightly, "Those Han officials thought that the people of ethnic minorities were not worthy of using the names of Han people. Don't you know that Emperor Taizu Gao has always advocated the policy of ethnic common prosperity? It is a good thing for ethnic minorities to voluntarily integrate into the Ming Dynasty, which is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. How can these shallow people interfere?"
Zhu Youcheng was so angry that he heard Qin Liangyu say this. He tried every means to pull the barbarians into the cultural system of the Ming Dynasty. However, some Ming officials personally pushed the ethnic minorities farther and farther away. I really don’t know how these people’s brains grow.
Suddenly, a guard came in and said a few words to Fu Zonglong.
After hearing this, Fu Zonglong laughed loudly and said loudly: "Two Lords Zhu, we are monitoring the reports of soldiers who are moving to the enemy. A large number of people are mobilized from afar. It seems that there are ignorant rebels coming to die." (To be continued)
