Chapter 3: The Southwest turmoil begins

Yu Qian said so much, but after a turn of the conversation, he said, "If the thorns advance eastward and Shaanxi will stand alone in the attack, the old minister thinks that your highness should not be here. Please return to the capital."

Zhu Jianjun's heart changed and said, "Donald Yu, is this what the father means?"

Yu Qian said: "This is not."

Zhu Jianjun said, "Since that's the case, please forgive me for not being able to obey my orders. The thorns are already a dog that is stranded. If the orphans dare not watch the battle, how will they rule the people of the world in the future?"

When Yu Qian saw Zhu Jianjun say this, he was both happy and troubled.

I am happy that this is the future emperor, but I have some backbone. What I am worried about is that the prince is in Lanzhou, which is a big trouble for him.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

The prince has not been in Beijing for more than a year, so how could he not be able to spread any news?

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen also communicated with the cabinet in this matter.

After all, Zhu Qizhen had any accidents, and it was the cabinet and the palace who jointly welcomed the prince back. Zhu Qizhen could not take such a risk without hiding the cabinet.

Although Zhu Jianjun was young, he grew up in the palace and was quite sensitive to politics. He knew that everything about him depends on his father.

In other words, if his father wants him to go back, he will naturally be able to go back. If he doesn't speak, wouldn't he lose points from his father?

Therefore, Zhu Jianjun was not greedy for wealth in the capital, nor was Zhu Jianjun very comfortable living in Lanzhou, but this principle cannot be destroyed.

Yu Qian sighed and said, "Since your highness thinks so, you can assist in the position of the Qianhu of Lanzhou Weihou and come to the old minister to help you."

Zhu Jianjun did not object to this mobilization.

Anyway, he was not trained as a water manager. He just knew the importance of water conservancy, and it was impossible to tie the prince of the Ming Dynasty to the construction site.

Yu Qian said, "A big thing happened recently, your highness should take a look." Then Yu Qian handed a stack of printed paper to Zhu Jianjun.

When Zhu Jianjun saw it, he naturally took it immediately. However, it was the new issue of the mansion report.

However, the previous newspaper was copied by someone well-informed in the capital, but now it was published by the Tongzhengsi Department.

This is also one of the minor reforms in Zhuqi Town.

Zhu Qizhen did not dare to move for a while, but some corners, with Zhu Qizhen's prestige, could move, such as this residence.

It was Zhu Qizhen who transferred Shang Lu to the capital and presided over the changes after Tongzhengsi.

Zhu Qizhen specially asked a batch of copper movable type, and this batch of movable type alone cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was managed by the Shaofu.

Shang Lu, the newly appointed Tongzheng envoy, had to publish a report every ten days, publish the latest major events and distribute them to the world through post stations. But in principle, only local officials can reach the level of a prefect at least.

Any other county magistrate is worse than a minor official, and it is impossible for him to come into contact with the official newspaper specially distributed by the court.

However, if you think about it, this kind of confidentiality is impossible. Therefore, being able to accept the special distribution of the imperial court has become a symbol of identity.

It indicates the importance of this person in the court and is one of the important treatments of senior officials.

Although some people in the court felt that it was a waste of money and money, there was no big objection.

Naturally, they would not have thought that Zhu Qizhen would turn this mansion newspaper into a newspaper step by step, and then release the authority step by step. Other content will be added.

Many people can't see these visions, but they do not prevent Di Bao from becoming one of the authoritative mouthpieces of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Jianjun first noticed one thing, that is the news in Guangxi.

The chaos in Datengxia has been more than three years since the chaos, but it has not yet been pacified.

It’s not that the Dateng Gorge riots are so powerful, but that the Dateng Gorge riots have been completely complicated.

The first thing that is complicated is that the Dateng Gorge Rebellion is related to the Tian family’s rebellion in southwest Guizhou. Even Hou Dagou has a tendency to climb a high and sing and chaotic in the southwest.

After all, the chieftains from all over the southwest were ready to move in the early years of Zhengtong. First, Wang Ji suppressed him, and then Cao Nai suppressed him, so they were honest.

But they were honest at that time, but they would not always be honest.

Especially the Guangxi chieftain and Guizhou chieftain are actually related.

Due to the complexity of the mountain situation in Guangxi, there is a tendency to delay for a long time, and Guizhou chieftains are also a tendency to be ready to move.

But if you only look at the battle report, Han Yong won one victory and the other. The problem is that he kept winning the battle but could not block Guangxi'an.

The second complexity is that Zhu Qizhen ordered the mobilization of the Southern Guards to settle in Guangxi.

It seems that Zhu Qizhen mobilized several provinces of garrisons in Huguang, Jiangxi, Nanzhili, Henan, Sichuan, and in one breath, but if you look closely, you will know that these garrisons have not been in war for many years.

Therefore, the battle in Guangxi that was fascinated by Zhu Qizhen has been linked to the strategy of abolishing the ward and changing the county. If these wards are in Guangxi, there are two ways out. Either the elite soldiers are transferred out and stationed on the coast. For the coastal areas, some elite soldiers are still needed.

Or they just jumped into the capital army.

This is the Nanjing Army.

This arrangement is to balance the internal situation, and a large number of internal garrisons were abolished, and the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty could not be without troops. Therefore, as the center of the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing has dispersed a lot of power. Nanzhili can be said to have been actually divided into two provinces, Jiangsu and Anhui.

Nanjing holds certain military power and does not affect the balance of the south.

Moreover, if there is something wrong in the south, it is easier to send troops from Nanjing than to Beijing. As for the Nanjing army that costs tens of thousands of yuan, what organizational structure is, the court has not yet discussed it.

But there is already a large framework.

As a result, during the war in Guangxi, it seemed that the Ming Dynasty used dozens of garrisons and hundreds of thousands of troops, but in fact, the empty quota of these hundreds of thousands of troops was half. After removing the empty quota, the remaining soldiers were all the old and weak.

The war in Guangxi became a whetstone.

He gradually defeated the corrupt people in the Southern Guard Army.

This also made Han Yongkong unable to do anything with a large army on paper.

Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to make this decision. Without the victory of the Northern Expedition, Zhu Qizhen wanted to reduce the reduction of the garrisons in various northern regions and migration, which was not easy to deal with.

Only after the great victory in the north and under the consideration of military strategy, Zhu Qizhen moved a large number of guards and screened and divided them during the migration.

The same is true for the Southern Vatican.

If dealt with directly, then the contradiction is between the local garrison and the Ming Dynasty center, and it may cause trouble.

But with the Battle of Datengxia, it became a battle between the Southern Guard and the Datengxia chaos. If the Southern Guards could have eased the chaos in Guangxi as early as the beginning of the country.

Then Zhu Qizhen swallowed the matter of rectifying the Southern Vatican.

After reading the news from Guangxi, a sudden news surprised Zhu Jianjun and said, "Half Lotus Sect has resurrected?"

But it was the White Lotus Sect that started its troops in Huguang.

Yu Qian said: "This incident was beyond the old minister's expectations, but Xiang Zhong was in Huguang, and the thief was pacified, just between the rebellion."

Zhu Jianjun thought about Xiang Zhong's resume in his heart for a long time, but couldn't remember it.

Yu Qian said: "Xiang Zhong is now the governor of Huguang. His Majesty ordered him to appease the affairs of Yunyang refugees. He had just submitted a memorial to establish Yunyang Prefecture and incorporate Qimin. He is a person who can do things."

Zhu Jianjun only then remembered.

There is this person.

Zhu Qizhen was greatly shocked by what Li Xian said that day, so he naturally had to take action. Xiang Zhong was the minister selected by Zhu Qizhen to deal with refugee affairs.

He can be both civil and military, and he can be said to be both civil and military. He did a very decent job in dealing with the refugees in Yunyang. Yunyang has high mountains and dense forests, and refugees are all hidden in the mountains.

Xiang Zhong led dozens of people into the mountains, and made great contributions to the mountains. He farmed in Yunyang. Some of them did not come out of the mountains, and they were also divided into inspection departments.

The establishment of Yunyang prefectures may not be able to pay much taxes to the Ming Dynasty, but hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the Ming Dynasty's Yellow Book returned to the Ming Dynasty's control.

For Zhu Qizhen, this is the biggest benefit.

Because of this incident, Xiang Zhong became a local official valued by Zhu Qizhen. After all, it seems easy to go into the mountains to persuade the people to go down the mountain, but it is quite difficult to do.
