I am not depressed and I am worthy of you; if you are kind, I have kind hearts and cruelty.

Old Wei held the ginseng box and left with great gratitude.

The emperor sat in the imperial chair and pondered for a long time. He ordered the palace servants to go and pass the imperial edict to commend the nobles such as Shouning Hou and Wujing Hou. The reason is very simple. All the children of these families have served in the army and made military achievements in the Battle of Ping Liao.

Mencius said: "A gentleman's fortune will be killed for five generations!" The common people also have a saying: "We can only last for three generations!"

Originally, this rule talks about the unspoken rule of the replacement of wealth, poverty and humbleness in the world, but I didn’t know that this rule has also become a mantra for the change of Chinese dynasties.

Of course, the emperor was not worried about whether the fifth generation would definitely decline. He was concerned about the hundreds of years of the Ming Dynasty, and those wastes who could eat all day long due to the contributions of their ancestors should no longer be futile to support them.

Zhu Chunchen started, and Marquis of Shouning, Marquis of Wujing and others were quite clear about the matter. If a child contributed to the court, how long could the emperor tolerate it?

There is also the Mu family in Yunnan, and the officialdom of Yunnan. After the She'an Rebellion was quelled, the army entered Yunnan, and it was time to purify it.

I hope that my severe punishment and reward will make those nobles understand.

The emperor smiled bitterly, feeling that he could not have too much hope.

The main reason is that the root cause is difficult to remove, and it is due to Chinese tradition. If you earn a big family business, you will naturally want to make your children and grandchildren less hardship and enjoy more.

Then, starting a business, maintaining success, squandering, losing, and perishing. One generation is worse than the other, and finally it is waste. This is the cycle law of wealth that only lasts three or five generations, and is closely related to Chinese traditions and society.

Zhu Youxiao knew that this was difficult to change. But he had to make efforts, for others and for himself. He encouraged the expansion of the territory of the Maritime Group and even rewarded him with titles.

Similarly, he should also give his descendants experience and not let them sit and enjoy their fruits and become incompetent waste.

I think so, but the emperor does not have much confidence. Who doesn’t want promising children, but how many people will get what they want?

Okay, give birth to a few more, choose the best! The emperor gently stroked his forehead and felt that he should work harder.

………………………………………

When the Liaodong war ended, the court officially announced the successful pacification of Liao. The news was like a wing, and under the full publicity of the government, it spread all over the country.

The people were excited and the imperial authority became stronger. Undoubtedly, this gave a shot of stimulant to quell the She'an Rebellion.

The southwest was originally filled with complex people and numerous chieftains. The She'an Rebellion was delayed for more than ten years. First, the terrain in the west of the water was complex, and second, the chieftain secretly helped the rebels.

When the rebellion first broke out, "forty-eight branches and other troops led An Bangjun, Chen Qiyu and others to correspond." The remaining chieftain forces in Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and even Bozhou responded one after another.

So much so that Zhu Xieyuan said in his memorial: "Wumeng, Mang tribe, An Xiaoliang, and She Chongming were baited by An Chieftain, and they merged with the chieftains of the four provinces to resist me, and I supported myself in danger with my own army."

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is also a problem. The troops in the inland areas are still much worse than those in the border troops.

However, under the personal guidance of the emperor, the troops that suppressed the rebellion had greatly improved their officer configuration and weapons and equipment. During the fight and training, their combat effectiveness also steadily improved.

Especially when the emperor took out gold and silver to deal with the war, the long-term siege and blockade were successfully implemented.

This is similar to the strategy of Ping Liao, which converts war into a war of attrition for manpower and materials. Whether it is Jiannu or She'an rebels, it is impossible for them to spend more time and revive the Ming Empire.

The emperor's determination showed even made the chieftain who was openly and secretly helping the rebels of She'an feel awe-intimate and fearful.

The purpose of the chieftains who participated in the rebellion was not to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but to seek their own independent status through the blows brought to the Ming Dynasty by war.

Or they forced the Ming Dynasty to sit at the negotiating table and increase their bargaining chips to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Yang family in Bozhou.

That's right, after the rebellion of Yang Wanlong, the chieftain of Bozhou, was suppressed, the Ming Dynasty directly adopted the policy of changing land and returning to the current situation, directly dismantling Bozhou and incorporating it into a province directly controlled by the imperial court.

Seeing the ending of the Yang family in Bozhou, the chieftains were bound to be sad about the death of rabbits and foxes. They were all hereditary systems ruled for generations. Who would be willing to give up the power of their local emperor?

But the emperor would never forgive She'an's rebel leader and would never surrender. The spirit of never destroying the traitors was really a blow to the chieftains who helped the rebels and rebels.

As the Shean rebels failed several attacks and lost hope of breaking the Ming army's siege and blockade, the minds of the chieftains also changed.

Obviously, it is completely impossible to force the court to surrender or sit down to negotiate terms. There is no need to worry about the future reform and return of land. The Ming Dynasty successfully suppresses the rebellion and severe punishment will soon come.

Moreover, the emperor never forgives the rebel leader She Chongming and Anbang-chan. He is determined to destroy the rebel leader Yongning Xuanwei Office in Sichuan and the Shuixi Xuanwei Office in Guizhou, but he never said that he would eliminate all the chieftains involved in the rebels.

The emperor also knew very well that although changing the land and returning to the flow was the general trend, forcibly implementing the transformation of the land and returning to the flow was not worth the loss before the national strength was fully restored.

The emperor also thought about people well. The so-called "the tree falls and the money scatters". As long as the She'an rebels showed their defeat, not only the chieftains who helped the rebels, but also the She'an rebels, they would continue to abandon their eyes and turn to the light to save their lives and property.

The fact was as expected by the emperor, the rebels outside the water west were gradually wiped out, the Ming army occupied important places in the river, and repelled the counterattack of the Shean rebels several times. The situation gradually reversed, and more and more chieftains were surrendering.

When the Ming army began to seize water and land, the imperial court issued an edict to reward the meritorious soldiers as hereditary property. Even the rebels were in panic all day long and knew that they could not defeat them.

Even so, An Fei sent people to surrender several times, but Fu Zonglong refused. There was only one condition, and he surrendered unconditionally and waited for the court to deal with it.

Everyone knows that the court has made up its mind that Shuixi, like Bozhou, will no longer have local officials. The Shuixian clan, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is now at its peak.

Walking through the valley in the forest, Xu Hongyu returned from a team of harassment, and was in a very good mood.

After dozens of battles, Xu Hongyu was already the commander of thousands of people. After continuous training and combat, he and his subordinates became more and more familiar with the complex terrain of Shuixi.
