In the 29th year of the Hongxing reign of the Ming Dynasty, in the seventh month of the lunar month, the fire was flowing, in Kunming, Yunnan.

The streets of Kunming are finally a bit bustling. The family members of military families who moved from Sichuan and Guizhou following Mu Tianbo and Ma Wanchun, as well as the Sichuan people who came to Yunnan to make a living, have settled down and started their new lives.

After two or three months of repairs, most of the houses that had been burned down during the evacuation of Li Jicheng's Dashun Army were ready for makeshift use. Most of the shops along the street were rented out, and all kinds of businesses were closed.

Opened it out.

Because those who followed Zhu Hexing, Mu Tianbo, Ma Wanchun and others into Yunnan were not all the new troops of "997". There were also many feudal military households who had to live with their families. These people brought their families with them and marched into Sichuan. Some of them had already

Land was allocated in Kunming, Wuding, Qujing, Xundian, Chuxiong, Lijiang and other six prefectures, and batches of people began to leave Kunming and settle down in various places; however, most people had not yet had their turn to allocate land, so they all gathered in Kunming.

In several large villages in the city and near Kunming City.

Both the military households who have been allocated land and the military households who are waiting to be allocated have considerable spending power - the former have already received the resettlement allowance and have to make large purchases in Kunming before they can settle down; the latter are paid on a monthly basis.

With sufficient military pay and rations, it is enough for the family members accompanying the army to live a comfortable life.

Driven by these two sources of purchasing power, the Sichuan merchants who came south from Chongqing and Chengdu all made huge profits. On the most prosperous long street in Kunming, well-dressed military family members, with swords on their belts, crowded on the streets.

Among them, many pedestrians carrying swords were women, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, looking heroic... This scene really seemed familiar!

It has to be said that although the Dashun Dynasty's more than 20 years of rule in Sichuan and Yunnan ended in failure, it greatly changed the folk customs of Sichuan and Yunnan and cultivated a generation of Sichuan and Yunnan people who were martial and brave.

Seven or eight years after the restoration of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, the Sichuan rebels who rose up against the bandits and welcomed the king's division have now turned into the type of people they hated the most - Fu Bing Jun Hu!

It's just that they are not the soldiers of Dashun, but the military households of Ming Dynasty!

But as long as they are feudal military households, whether they are from Dashun or Ming Dynasty, they will definitely want to ride on the heads of the working people and lord it over them! And this group of feudal soldiers who ride on the necks of the working people and lord it over them are also

You will definitely be troubled by the "little baby problem" because you have too many children.

The "Dingyu problem" can not only destroy the economic foundation of military households, but also act as a driving force for the expansion of the military household system - without "Dingyu", the master is doing a good job, who would be willing to leave his hometown to conquer the world?

Of course, if the external expansion fails, or the benefits from the expansion cannot cover the cost of sending troops, then that is a different matter...

And this Ming Dynasty's battle to pacify Yunnan was not so much to unify the Ming Dynasty as it was to find a way out for the military households and Ding Yu in the Liangchuan Military Town - the Liangchuan Military Town itself was a stopgap measure, once it was recovered

The military towns of Yunnan and Sichuan will be merged into Sichuan Province. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty cannot be like Dashun, allowing military households to expand barbarically and erode civilian land and households.

Moreover, the foundation of the Ming Empire was different from that of the Dashun Empire. The Ming Dynasty followed the path of capitalism, while Dashun was a feudal military state that exploited its own interests. Therefore, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to engage in suppression in the military towns of the two Sichuan provinces like Dashun.

business, and strictly controlled the flow of people - the current Ming Dynasty encourages population mobility! If there is no flow, who will grab the colonies? Who will be a cheap labor force? Without the resources and markets of the colonies, and without cheap labor force, how will the Ming Dynasty be an empire in the future?

Isism?

Of course it is not good to be an imperialist, but if we are not an imperialist, how can we still be semi-feudal and semi-colonial?

Therefore, the military households in Sichuan under the Ming Dynasty were difficult to maintain after all, and were even worse than the imperial troops under the Dashun... The only way to make them last longer was to launch a war! That is...

..Go and grab it!

As long as there are enough places to grab, this kind of military system linked to land must be quite easy to use!

And this time the Battle of Yunnan has been fought so far. Although there have been no tough battles, some land and households have been grabbed. Therefore, the streets of Kunming are filled with an optimistic atmosphere at this time.

Finding that Dashun was not that difficult to defeat, many military households and their families were eager to give it a try. They were waiting for the crown prince on Mount Wuhua to issue the order to march south. In this wave, it would not be enough to only capture Yunnan.

Enter Myanmar and grab a big one!

Occasionally, a cavalry passed by on the street. The knights on the cavalry were all wearing short clothes and light armor, carrying muskets on their shoulders, and looked like they were fighting in hot areas. The horseshoe bells rang, and the military families who were shopping all turned their heads and looked around, and went away.

Expectant eyes. Everyone knows that these black lancers not only undertake the task of battlefield reconnaissance, but also serve as pond horses, delivering news to and from the Yunnan front line.

Seeing how urgent they are, is there an opportunity on the front line to send troops in large numbers?

...

"Your Highness, the military report from the 17th Army Division!" A soldier from the governor's office of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan stood outside a pavilion in Wuhua Mountain. He respectfully handed over the box delivering the military report.

Hearing the voice of this report, the two people playing chess in Wuhua Palace turned their heads in unison. Li Dingguo, who was already in his fifties this year, threw a chess piece in his hand into the chess jar, and then reached out and took the box.

.

Sitting opposite him was none other than Zhu Hexing. This prince's military talents were fully demonstrated in this battle to pacify Yunnan.

One of the characteristics of his military use is stability, steady attack, not seeking a quick victory, but seeking a sure victory. Although it does not conform to the principle of "win more expensive than long" in the art of war, considering that his opponent Li Jicheng in this battle is also a master of military use, it is not

The strategy of pursuing speed but seeking victory is still very correct.

In addition to being stable, Zhu Hexing also pays attention to careful preparation in military use. Military, political, economic, and even diplomatic... are fully prepared in all aspects, taking all difficulties into consideration, and then crush them steadily.

opponent!

Of course, this style of play must be based on sufficient national strength and good management - it is not enough to have national strength but poor management. Just like when Nurhachi first rose up, the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Wanli was still very poor.

If you have some wealth, if you can manage it well, use all your strength, and fight steadily without giving your opponent a chance to win unexpectedly, you still have a great chance of winning... If the current Zhu Hexing is allowed to help Grandpa Wanli fight

Nurhachi, I guess Nurhachi will be cool after two or three years!

In the face of Zhu Hexing's steady and careful style of play, Li Jicheng, who was good at winning by surprise, had no choice but to watch Zhu Hexing slowly digest Kunming, Wuding, Qujing, Xundian, Chuxiong,

Minjiang and other places of the Six Prefectures... Li Jicheng gave up all Kunming just to lure the enemy in, but Zhu Hexing did not follow his tactics at all and was not anxious at all! In fact, he had nothing to be anxious about.

, his grandparents are still alive and kicking, and there is nothing wrong with him at all. How could his father, Zhu Cixiang, die in his turn? In the battle of Yunnan, it would be good to give him three to five years!

I don’t know if he was forced into panic, but Li Jicheng, who was stationed in Dali, actually sent a military envoy to Zhu Hexing for peace talks.

The military envoy was sent to the 17th Division of the Ming Dynasty Army stationed in Chuxiong. The division commander Cao Desheng (son of Cao Youyi) of the 17th Division met with Li Jicheng's military envoy and read the credentials brought by the military envoy. He immediately wrote a military report

, someone sent it to Prince Zhu overnight.

"Huh?" Li Dingguo, who was reading the military newspaper, suddenly had a strange expression on his face. Zhu Hexing, who was sitting opposite him, saw his expression and asked, "Jiedu, what did the military newspaper say?"

"Li Jicheng asked for peace!" Li Dingguo said.

"What's so weird about this?" Zhu Hexing asked, "With the war going so far, they can't win at all, so it's normal to seek peace!"
Chapter completed!
