It’s better to act than to move your heart. When you talk, you will be shouted in eight words and you will get the salt!

The power of role models is infinite. Seeing that others are benefiting, even a little bit, there is enough temptation.

The eyes of the people who were still hesitating lit up and rushed over. Time was not long, and the shouts of loud voices sounded.

Just shouting a few slogans is just the beginning, you know whether there is a child care or not. The five kilograms of salt and thirty acres of land given by the army are even more attractive conditions.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, discrimination against ethnic minorities made it difficult to accept the recruitment of soldiers from the barbarians. When chanting slogans, they would give the salt a promise and integrity, and pave the way for joining the army.

This is a method that the governor Fu Zonglong came up with to better implement the emperor's plan. There was an allusion to establish a tree as a trust in ancient times, and Fu Zonglong just used it casually.

The reason why we recruit ethnic minority soldiers in the Ming army was not just a temporary measure to quell the She'an Rebellion.

In Zhu Youxiao's vision, increasing the proportion of naturalized soldiers in the Ming army is first of all, which is conducive to enhancing the strength to quell the She'an rebellion in the short term.

With the increasingly tight blockade of the rebels, the shortage of materials, especially the shortage of salt, and the political offensive adopted by the Ming court, it will cause division and waver within the rebels.

Many naturalized Yi people are familiar with the terrain of Shuixi, which is the weakness of the Ming army. At the same time, their calls to persuade the surrender during the war between the two armies will also rise up to destroy the enemy's effect.

In the long run, making more barbarians under the jurisdiction of the government will also weaken the strength of the chieftains. If they live well, they will also be a propaganda and encouragement for the barcars who are still under the rule of the chieftains.

You should know that ordinary barbarians under the rule of chieftains are slaves who have difficulty living and have no freedom or rights.

The Ming Dynasty was a feudal society at least, and it was a generation higher than the slave society! The lives of the people will get better and better, and they will always be stronger than slaves.

To put it bluntly, it is not a disguised "change the land and return to the current situation" to truly be included in the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Youxiao dared to make up his mind to strive to pacify Liao in five years, and the She'an Rebellion would not be lower than this time limit.

But when the Ming Dynasty "changed the land and returned to the current", he conservatively estimated that it would take 30 or 50 years, and it would be accompanied by war and casualties.

As the saying goes: An emperor for a hundred years and a chieftain for a thousand years shows his tenacious vitality. Therefore, he never tried to try the measures to speed up the process of "changing land and returning to flow".

A barbarian came to the recruiting place and expressed his thoughts on joining the army in a strange manner.

He is tall, with bare feet and dark skin. Standing there, he looks like half a black iron tower, and looks very tough.

An old barbarian came up to act as a translator, questioned and answered, and then transferred it to the clerk next to him.

Shamabuda, male, twenty-two years old, Yi nationality, six feet tall... The clerk was recording, but was attracted by the sudden noise from beside him.

There were several stone locks next to the recruiting office, which were considered as physical examination facilities. A strong man was swinging the stone lock and playing tricks, which caused the bystanders to scream.

When Buda saw the secretary looking around, he seemed to have forgotten his own affairs, he couldn't help but frown, snorted, and strode away, grabbed a heavier stone lock, turned his left hand to his right hand, and started playing.

After swinging for a while, Buda put down the stone lock, walked to the clerk and stood up straight. His face was not red, he was not angry, and his big eyes were staring at the clerk.

The secretary didn't care, so he smiled, picked up the pen and asked Buda for a trick.

An Yi translator gave Buda the license plate and explained the specific regulations to him, asking him to take the license plate to report to the military camp on the other side.

Not far away, there were people coming and going in front of the mattress that exchanged food for salt, which was very lively. From time to time, there were also barbarian women dressed in different ways from the Han people, carrying shoulder poles and laughing and walking together.

Isn’t Guizhou short of salt? It’s not that salt is expensive, so use affordable salt to win people’s hearts. The food you get can also be used as military supplies, saving costs, killing two birds with one stone.

But can the people in Guizhou not be enthusiastic when they encounter such a good opportunity? They can cope with food disadvantages even if they eat braised vegetables. The cheap and precious salt is not something they are too old to encounter.

The courage to implement such measures also shows that the Ming army has completed the blockade and is very strict, and there is no need to worry that anyone can smuggle into the area occupied by the traitors.

In terms of combat power, the rebels in Shuixi and Jiannu were incomparable, and even the Ming army was not as good as the ones. It was just that the Ming army was difficult to capture due to the complex terrain and terrain.

The Ming army has now stabilized its position, constantly trained and rectified, changed clothes and strengthened it, and adopted a defensive stance to only block the major traffic arteries and river ferries.

If the Shuixi rebels wanted to reverse the situation, they had to take the initiative. Without the geographical location, the Shuixi rebels' several attacks were repelled by the Ming army and they were increasingly in dilemma.

This is quite similar to the situation where Jiannu was in. If you attack, your head is not strong enough; if you don’t move, you are sleeping and waiting to die. Anyway, it’s a dilemma and you can’t get rid of the passiveness.

In the Guiyang Governor's Office, Fu Zonglong had just met with a group of officers sent from martial arts and wrote secret memorials to the emperor in his study.

This is not only a war to suppress the rebellion, but the court also took this opportunity to rectify the army and improve its combat effectiveness. The border troops are strong and the mainland soldiers are weak, so Zhu Youxiao wants to change this situation.

Through the continuous transfer of officers, Zhu Youxiao was able to control the army more firmly. Behind these measures is Zhu Youxiao's longer-term revenge plan.

During the Wanli period, the most familiar one should be the three major battles, and they all won, which is very exciting.

But there is still a war that lasted for decades on the border of the West Antarctic, which is not well known. The result of the war ended with the failure of the Ming Dynasty and lost a large piece of land, that is, the Ming-Myanmar War.

During the Wanli period of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Touo Dynasty in Myanmar gradually developed, expanded its territory, and annexed most of the current Myanmar.

The Mengyang Xuanwei Department, Mubang Xuanwei Department, Myanmar Xuanwei Department, and Eight Hundred Xuanwei Department, which were originally affiliated to the Ming Dynasty were successively occupied by them.

But the Ming government ignored this and let it develop, which undoubtedly encouraged the ambitions of the Dongyu Dynasty.

In the first month of the eleventh year of Wanli (1583), the Burmese army captured Shidian (now Shidian, Yunnan), attacked Shunning (now Fengqing, Yunnan), and Zhanda (now Yingjiang, Yunnan), and penetrated hundreds of kilometers deep into the current border, with the troops heading directly to Chuxiong and Dali.

At this time, the Ming court could no longer sit still and sent famous generals Liu Jing and Deng Zilong to lead the Ming army to resist, defeating the Burmese army in Panzhihua south of Yaoguan and achieving the great victory in Panzhihua.

The Ming army took advantage of the victory to pursue, Deng Zilong led the army to recover Wandian and Gengma. Liu Shi led the army to march straight into, occupied Longchuan, and captured Myanmar Prime Minister Yue Feng.

After Yue Feng surrendered, the Burmese army was about to collapse. The Ming army recovered Manmo all the way, Meng Yang and Meng Lian, Meng Mi chieftain also announced their support, and Awa's garrison Mangzhu also surrendered to the Ming court.

In the 12th year of Wanli, the Burmese army invaded again, captured Mengmi, and surrounded Wuzhang. The Ming army led the general Gao Guochun to defeat the Myanmar invasion.

Since then, the forces of the Dongyu Dynasty were driven out of the Tusi area such as Mubang, Meng Yang, Manmo, and others. Yue Feng, a traitor who treasoned the country and surrendered to Myanmar, was escorted to the capital and executed, and the Tusi in the border areas surrendered to the Ming Dynasty one after another.

However, the Ming-Myanmar War did not end here. Starting from the 13th year of Wanli, due to the corruption of the government, the border areas began to be eroded by Myanmar again, and expanded greatly to Jinghong, Ximeng, Lincang, Tengchong and other places.

The last war broke out in the 30th year of Wanli. The Ming Dynasty was finally unable to look south due to the outbreak of the battle to aid Korea and began to make peace with Myanmar.

In the end, the Ming-Myanmar War was conditioned by the Ming Dynasty's ceding of Meng Yang, Mubang and Xingwei (now Dennis, Myanmar), and the two countries resumed their "normal" relationship.

Perhaps the Ming court did not regard the territory of the Xuanfu Division as its inherent territory, nor did it admit that it was ceasing, and considered it a shame.

But Zhu Youxiao was worried about this. The land of more than one million square kilometers is not a small amount. Moreover, this is only temporary peace and does not satisfy Myanmar's ambitions.

He remembered that he had learned the Qing Dynasty and fought several major battles with Myanmar. The last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty was presented to Wu Sangui by Myanmar, which announced the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao was not going to leave it to his descendants for such a capricious country. When the Liao Dynasty was successful, he would have to cleanse the humiliation and send troops to the southwest.

Moreover, facts have proved that the Ming army guarding Yunnan Province has weakened. The Mu family, who was in Yunnan in a timely manner, no longer had the courage and strategy of the first Duke Mu Ying.

By quelling the She'an Rebellion, Zhu Youxiao was preparing to build an army that could fight and dared to fight. This is the best experimental field to test and train the combat effectiveness of the army, and actual combat is the only standard.

It was obvious that Fu Zonglong could not know the emperor's ambition. Strategies such as defense as attack, blocking and siegeing land and retaining troops were seeing results. The rebels outside the water were gradually eliminated. He was confidently reporting the good news to the emperor!

……………………

Capital.

The breath of spring is even stronger, the snow is almost gone, and the dripping water on the eaves of the palace becomes sparse.

Although I don’t know the latest situation in Shuixi, judging from several battle reports, the rebels in Shuixi were repelled by the Ming army during several counterattacks, and the entire war situation had almost stabilized.

As long as the front is stable, how can we consume more than the Ming Dynasty with the manpower and resources in Shuixi? What's more, Zhu Youxiao, the current helmsman of the Ming Dynasty, is still very good at attracting money.

In the hall, dozens of honors from the capital stood solemnly, with different expressions, listening to the emperor talking.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Baba ordered the founding nobles to manage various military and political affairs, and then launched a series of fatal blows against him.

By the mid-Ming Dynasty, the court gradually formed a policy of "banning the affairs of the ministers of honor and ministers" and "regulating the military with civil and civilized power", and the political status of honor and ministers with high rank and low power was basically fixed.

The Ming court suppressed the intervention of nobles in the government affairs, and continued the historical development trend of bureaucratic politics that focused on abilities and qualifications since the Qin and Han Dynasties, especially after the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

However, the heroes of the Ming Dynasty still had a special relationship with the emperor. They maintained a parasitic class status with respect for generations, and their legal status was above ordinary civil and military ministers.

Overall, the position of the ministers is high and the power is low, and the power is not consistent. However, their power is unique and cannot be interfered with by other court officials. For example, the power of the governor of the capital, the power of the regiment camp, etc.

This distorted power situation further aggravated the corruption of the nobles, making them a "quasi-political class" who had long been entrenched in the courts of the two capitals.

But this situation changed last year. Zhu Youxiao gradually excluded the nobles by rectifying the Beijing camp and opening martial arts schools until he completely mastered the army of the capital.

Not only that, by transferring people to change the guards, most of the guards in the palace were replaced, and now the Jinyiwei Qianhu Lu Jianxing is in charge.

After these measures were implemented, Zhu Youxiao was confident in facing the nobles and was not polite to say anything.

"...The decree that officials are not allowed to go to business is issued, and the prescribed deadline has passed. However, some people regard the decree as nothing and despise me. Today, they call you to come to talk about this."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were very cold. He swept over His Highness and others, took their expressions in his eyes, and sneered in his heart.

"Don't complain to me, why do you want to raise a family? The salary is not enough to spend, and you need to do business and subsidy. Calculate how much you have rewarded your own titles until now, how much has you received your land, how much has your salary been received, and how much has you made to the court?"

"Look at how many of your children and grandchildren work for the country, how many of them are idle and idle, and spend their lives together? If you can't pass the imperial examination, how many of them are new to study martial arts?"

The emperor's voice echoed in the hall, knocking heavily on the hearts of the nobles. This was said very heavily, and he almost pointed at his nose and scolded him as a waste who was just waiting to die.

Zhu Youchao had no good feelings for these nobles. When the Ming Dynasty fell, how many people were in harmony with the country? There were only a few people.

On the contrary, he surrendered very actively, and some Duke Cheng, Zhu Chunchen, opened the door to welcome the King of Chuang. He received the national salary and rewards for hundreds of years, but he had no desire to be grateful and rewarded, and he was not even as good as a eunuch.

"Duke Chengguo--" Zhu Youxiao took a breath and began to call out with a gloomy face.

"I am here." Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, took a step forward and bowed.

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Why has your caravan not disbanded? Why are the shops in the capital and Yangzhou still operating?"

Zhu Chunchen swallowed, trying to defend himself but couldn't think of any excuses.

This matter must be said to the general point, but if the order is not accepted, it depends on whether the emperor will give some mercy to the nobles and let it go.

Moreover, the emperor had just blocked the excuse of family difficulties. You said, "You are looking for a blow!"

"Long live the comments." Zhu Chunchen looked bitter and thought of the reason, and argued: "It's not that I don't want to follow the order, but that there are a lot of business involvement, and there are debts and repayments, which is very complicated and troublesome. I hope Long live to give you a grace for a while."

Is this going to continue to delay, thinking that I have a bad memory, or thinking that this policy is just a gust of wind?

Zhu Youxiao pursed the corner of his lips and said quietly: "Since it is a complicated and trouble, it cannot be handled well for such a long time, I will send someone to help Cheng Gong."

Zhu Chunchen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how the emperor would help him.

The others in the hall didn't understand why, so they exchanged glances with each other and showed confusing and suspicious expressions.
