Chapter 163 The intention of enfeoffing Songpan

Letting Chen Huai do the work of appeasing the local people is simply embarrassing Chen Huai, but letting Chen Huai do the hooking up of killing people is just right.

Just right.

When Chen Huai goes to Songpan, there is no need to worry about quelling the chaos. He is familiar with the roads and can definitely win the battle quickly. Of course, the casualties among the local people in Songpan are hard to say.

Maybe even kill prisoners.

Even Zhu Qizhen was worried that Songpan would not need tens of thousands of households to migrate, but probably only a few thousand households. Of course, Chen Huai was ruthless enough to kill people.

I have to admit that Zhu Qizhen's heart skipped a beat.

This method may not be on the stage, or even be approved by the imperial edict, because it is too inconsistent with Confucian values.

But it is a once and for all solution.

But Zhu Qizhen still decided not to use Chen Huai.

There is still a trace of softness in his heart, so as an emperor's wife, benevolence is not allowed.

If he was unwilling to give up Songpan, and because of the opposition of the Songpan people, the Ming army entering Songpan would be like entering an enemy country, and more people might die than this plan.

But Zhu Qizhen still decided that as a human being, we must respect life.

Even if you have to kill them as a last resort, you can still kill them less. It is better to kill them less. This method is too harmful to Tianhe.

Zhu Qizhen said: "The people of Songpan are also the Ming Dynasty's innocent people. Qian Hong's incident has made me feel guilty. How can I let Chen Huai go to Songpan again?"

"However, Songpan cannot be peaceful for a long time because Songpan has no owner. How about I appoint a clan member to guard Songpan?"

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment.

However, Zhang Fu never expected that Zhu Qizhen would really consider feudalism as a national policy.

Zhang Fu was in the main hall at that time, arguing with each other, not in favor, but in order to support his son. After all, although Zhang Fu was a general, he was similar to a Confucian general.

Liu Zongyuan's theory of feudalism has been severely criticized by the feudal affairs, and then there was the Jingnan incident. Therefore, among the literati and officials of the Ming Dynasty, they did not agree with feudalism from the bottom of their hearts.

The same is true for Zhang Fu.

At that time, Zhang Fu also believed that the emperor just disliked King Xiang.

After all, the public case of King Xiang Jince has been spread in the capital for a long time, even among the people at the foot of the imperial city. Just like the taxi drivers in Beijing today, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous.

Therefore, he rebuked King Xiang from afar to keep the people at peace.

Everyone is the default.

But there are some words that cannot be said.

But now the emperor actually wants to not only grant the title of Prince Xiang, but also wants to grant the title of vassal king. Zhang Fu is opposed to this matter from the bottom of his heart. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty did not say before that you will not grant vassal kings to the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

?"

"Songpan is still in Sichuan today."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen said: "Songpan is located in a remote area. At worst, we can just move him out of Sichuan." Zhang Fu frowned slightly, but couldn't say anything. After all, Songpan is also far away from the core area of ​​Sichuan. Really

It's not impossible to divide them.

Zhang Fu thought for a while and said: "Songpan is located in a valley, where no grains grow, and there are few people cultivating it. I am worried that no vassal king is willing to go to Songpan. I am also worried that the land of Songpan may not be able to bear a single person."

The feudal king."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he thought to himself: "This is also true."

The Songpan generation sounds like there are hundreds of thousands of people, but most of these people are in the deep mountains and old forests and are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The imperial court's rule in Songpan is nothing more than Songpan Wei, three thousand-household offices, and one was added during the Xuande period.

.It’s just four thousand households.

These thousands of soldiers, plus their families, amount to only about ten thousand people. After all, it is unclear how much of the shortfall there is.

This was still the situation before the Songpan Rebellion.

Now Songpan has been in chaos several times.

There are probably no Han Chinese in the Songpan area. Under such circumstances, who would go?

And even if he went there, how could the mere Songpan land be able to provide the enjoyment of a vassal king?

Are the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty really much better than Chen Huai?

Maybe it's another source of cholera.

Zhu Qizhen didn't think so out of boredom.

Zhu Qizhen wanted to turn the feudal policy into the national policy of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the Ming Dynasty's external expansion would have legal basis. But look at Zhang Fu's performance.

In the minds of the ministers below, this feudal policy is far from reaching the standards of a national policy.

Therefore, if Zhu Qizhen wants to make the feudal policy a national policy, he still has a long way to go. In the land of Songpan, the feudal clan is guarding it just to make this strategy effective.

After all, no matter how brilliant a theory is, its essence is to solve problems.

A theory that cannot solve the problem is simply empty talk.

Zhu Qizhen was also cautious, and he was also worried. In his opinion, there was no essential difference between making the thirteen clans of Songpan chieftains and making a clan guard them.

Because they are all independent small political powers.

After all, the clan's surname is Zhu, so to a certain extent, it is still reliable.

But if it really causes trouble and has the opposite effect on the implementation of feudal policies, it will be very detrimental to Zhu Qizhen.

"Your Majesty." Wang Zhen suddenly said softly: "Don't forget Fengyang High Wall."

When Zhu Qizhen heard Wang Zhenyi's reminder, he immediately thought about it and said secretly: "The current vassal king can be used without it, but there are many descendants of the Sin Sect in the high walls of Fengyang."

"They are actually qualified for enfeoffment."

"But Songpan is a remote place with a sparse population. You don't even need to be crowned a king. You only need to be crowned a general to control the country. It only needs to have real power." When Zhu Qi Zhenxing understood, Zhang Fu naturally figured it out too.

Zhang Fu glanced at Wang Zhen and said to himself: "Wang Zhen is still a little quick-witted." Zhu Qizhen remembered Yang Rong's words and said: "Wang Daban, why are you interrupting my conversation with the British government?"

Wang Zhen said: "I know my crime."

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and asked him to go out, and then said to Zhang Fu: "The people below are not sensible. The British Lord should not be exposed to outsiders."

Zhang Fu said: "I don't dare."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Wang Daban's words reminded me that there is no need to grant a king, only a clan to guard it. The sinful vassal in the high wall of Fengyang would like to get this opportunity."

Zhang Fu said: "Your Majesty, you have pardoned all of them before, together with the common people, divided them into fields and houses, resettled them in Fengyang, and allowed scientific research."

"I thought they might not want to go to Songpan."

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Really?" He had not yet suffered from amnesia. When Zhang Fu reminded him, he naturally remembered it. However, he naturally had no intention of giving up, but was really serious about this matter.

Got interested.

He said: "Wuliangha, let's go with Guangxi according to the will of the Duke of Guangdong. In order to prevent the Guizhou chieftains from causing chaos, Wang Ji does not need to go to Yunnan. He can just stay in Guizhou to guard the grain road and support the front line."

"He also sent an order to Meng Ying to inform him of the situation and order him to fight with caution."

"As for the matter of Songpan, the conquest of Luchuan is the most important matter. Let's let this matter go first. Order the Sichuan Dusi to send people to guard Songpan and not easily enter the mountains to encircle and suppress them. If they dare to come out of the mountains, they will be severely beaten.

"

After hearing this, Zhang Fu naturally understood that Zhu Qizhen was interested in dividing Songpan into a vassal state. However, Zhang Fu could not find a reason to refute it for a while. Moreover, he was unwilling to fight with Zhu Qizhen.

He just said: "Yes." Zhang Fu also took this matter to heart. However, he was trying to find a way to find time to persuade Zhu Qizhen.

Advising the emperor has always been a technical job. The right time, place and people are indispensable, especially if you are afraid of recklessness.

Zhang Fu will naturally not act recklessly.

Zhu Qizhen saw off Zhang Fu, called Wang Zhen in, and said, "In the main hall, are there quotas for Qi Fan, Gu Fan, Han Fan, and other Sinful Fans?"

Wang Zhen said: "Of course there is no such thing. Your Majesty has demoted him to a commoner and is no longer included in the jade certificate."

Zhu Qizhen said: "This is too blunt. After all, we are the descendants of Taizu. How can we be like this? We always have to reform people. You send people to give them a quota for each vassal. Remember to select carefully.

What to say and what not to say must be understood clearly.”

Wang Zhen didn't need Zhu Qizhen to say much. He understood clearly that for the sake of the Lord of Songpan, he had to choose among these people. Naturally, he had to choose someone who was brave and capable of calming people down. But these words could not be said clearly.

It is necessary for the eunuchs sent out to have a sense of proportion.

Wang Zhen immediately said: "I understand this, and I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Remember to be cautious. Don't let others take advantage of you."
