367 Victory
When the eunuch and the palace maid helped Zhu Zhishu onto the recliner and shouted to look for a doctor, Zhang Mingwei walked over, waved his hand to calm them down, and then looked at the Shu King who had his eyes closed.
If it were someone else, these eunuchs and palace maids might not be so obedient. After all, the King of Shu fainted! But the power of Duke Xingguo was there, who dared not to listen?
After looking at Zhu Zhishu, how could Zhang Mingwei not knowing that he was pretending, so he said lightly: "I have already said that according to the King of Zhou and King of Chu, there is no negotiation. But the emperor and I have compensation for those who voluntarily take out the fief."
Seeing that Zhu Zhishu's eyebrows seemed to move, Zhang Mingwei glanced slightly and then continued, "Just like the King of Zhou, the vassal kings who actively responded to national policies can choose overseas fiefs by themselves. Unfortunately, I knew where there were gold and silver mountains, iron ore, etc., and the reserves were all for hundreds of millions of kilograms, and they would still be there for hundreds of years."
Speaking of this, he paused and said a little coldly: "Not only will the fiefdom kings be nationalized, but there is no choice for overseas vassals, and there is a court designation!"
After saying that, Zhang Mingwei looked at Zhu Mei and blinked and said, "Princess Kunxing, the King of Shu is fainted. I probably didn't hear what I said just now. Now I want to go to the Governor's Office to seize the land account book. You can stay here. When the King of Shu wakes up, he will convey my words. If he voluntarily cooperates with the court's national policies, he can ask him to choose a treasure land that I have reported to the emperor before."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Sir, wait for me." Zhu Meiyu immediately followed him and said loudly, "I seem to be unhappy with the King of Shu, and it's boring to keep it. Let's go together!"
"..." Zhu Zhishu closed his eyes and felt speechless when he heard this. Before this man got married, he turned his arm out, and he was not considerate of Zhu's surname?
Everyone knows that Princess Kunxing is with Duke Xingguo, and she will definitely marry Duke Xingguo in the future. Of course, Zhu Zhishu also knows this.
Thinking of this fiefdom, it seems that it will definitely not be able to be protected. Moreover, he is not the first to do this. Didn’t he say that there are examples of King Zhou and King Chu? They have been vassals since the Hongwu period.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhishu didn't care about his face anymore, pretended to shout "Ah" and opened his eyes.
Seeing that Duke Xingguo and Princess Kunxing had already walked to the door, when he heard the movement, he quickly pretended to be surprised and said, "What's wrong with me just now? Hey, are you going to leave? This matter has not been discussed yet, right? The national policy set by the emperor cannot be so careless. Let's discuss it carefully, right?"
"..." When the palace maids and eunuchs heard this, they were stunned.
This time, they saw the vassal king they served, and they turned out to be as thick as the city walls in Chengdu!
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Mai looked at each other and smiled, then turned around and walked back. If the vassal kings could cooperate, it would be the best.
This time, Zhang Mingwei did not bother to attract the resentment of King Rui first, and he also considered this.
After turning around, Zhang Mingwei took some saliva and said what he had just said again.
When Zhu Zhishu heard this, he quickly asked the question he had been asking just now and said: "Duke, is there really such a treasure land? You can't fool the orphans!"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he just smiled faintly, and stretched out his hand to Liu Jin who was standing behind him, got a world map he drew, and set it in front of Zhu Zhishu. Then he pointed to Luzon and said, "The King of Zhou is the first vassal king to actively cooperate with the national policy. Therefore, this will be the fief of the King of Zhou. Not only is it close to the Ming Dynasty, but the gold and iron ore here are also very large."
Speaking of this, he slapped the place where Australia is located in later generations and said: "There is one of the largest iron ore in the world. It is so big and there are many rare beasts. If Your Highness is satisfied, I can submit a report, and I believe the emperor will cut his flesh."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhu Dashi, then turned to Zhu Zhishu and said, "I don't know much treasure land. The emperor originally wanted to leave it to the prince. However, the emperor was wise and adjusted his national policy, so he wanted to reward the vassal kings with a positive attitude first."
After saying that, seeing Zhu Zhishu still staring at the map and thinking, Zhang Mingwei said again: "If you want to revive the Ming Dynasty, the royal family of the vassal kings cannot get around. The emperor is a wise lord and has made up his mind to not leave this problem for future generations. Therefore, the national policy of the vassal kings overseas will never be shaken."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhishu finally raised his head and looked at him and confirmed: "Duke, is it really the largest iron ore in the world and the treasure land of many rare beasts?"
"Absolutely!" Zhang Mingwei heard this and immediately said without hesitation, "I can swear this!"
After saying that, he added in his heart: You have never seen kangaroos before, and you have definitely never seen savages before. These are all in that place.
As Duke Xingguo, he responded with a vow, which made Zhu Zhishu feel a lot more at ease.
More importantly, he has realized that he actually has no choice. Even if he does not agree, he will definitely make a tough decision based on Duke Xingguo's posture. Instead of doing this, it is better to make a fortune.
So, just like that, under Zhang Mingwei's use of both soft and hard work, King Zhu Zhishu of Shu finally agreed.
If he takes the initiative to cooperate, the next thing he has to do will definitely be much smoother. Some things in other places, such as offerings, entrusting names under the name of the King of Shu, and hidden houses, etc., will be much more convenient to clean up.
The rectification of Shu is the third time, and he has experience, and this is why Zhang Mingwei knew that with the initiative of Shu King, he would be much more convenient to do things.
After dealing with the King of Shu, Zhang Mingwei went to the Sichuan Governor's Office.
At this time, the results of the battle outside the city were reported one after another. Of course, the Jinyiwei also went to understand the situation in Chengdu Prefecture and reported it to the same.
In this battle outside the city, more than 50,000 rebels and bandits were killed and injured, most of which were caused by trampling and running for life. There was not even one-tenth of them killed and injured by the imperial cavalry.
The prisoners of rebels and bandits, including those who fled and returned to surrender, had a total of more than 567,000, of which more than 8,000 cavalry were more than 8,000.
There are about 270,000 rebels under the name of the chieftain, and they are still under statistics. The others are Han people from Shu, either being bullied, or being the original bandits and rebels.
So far, two toasts have been captured alive, one toast was killed, and the other toasts have basically been escaped.
Zhang Mingwei understood this and did not mean to blame his generals.
At that time, facing nearly so many rebels, and there were only about 50,000 on his side, it was impossible to take care of it. To defeat the bandits and rebels and gather them, they were not enough.
Not to mention, those chieftains have horses and personal guards. When they see that the situation is wrong, they will not be too stupid to stay and not leave. When they are riding horses and fleeing, the cavalry will not be able to pursue them one by one. In such a chaotic situation, they can tell who is with whom!
The two rebel leaders Hou Xun and Zuo Liangyu made the same mistake. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately fell down their flags and fled, but were not caught.
Zhang Mingwei also didn't care about this. Even if he ran away, he would be a loser.
And to take a step back, if Zuo Liangyu had not escaped when he was in the Gyeonggi area, there would have been no such thing as him joining the chieftain.
Now the chieftains in Shu have basically rebelled under his various means. This is actually a good thing for the court. They can change the land and return to the current, and truly solve the local emperors, so as to solve the situation where the chieftains in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty often cause trouble and even rebellion once and for all.
Shu was surrounded by mountains and the Shu road leading to Qin was under the control of the court; and on the other side of the Yangtze River, Zhang Mingwei also deployed heavy troops, and no one could escape from the bandits or rebels in Shu. Their only way was to hide in the deep mountains or jump into Yunnan and Guizhou.
This is in Zhang Mingwei's original plan, because Yunnan and Guizhou also have many chieftains, and often rebel against the imperial court, and they also need to change their territory and return to the current situation. To drive the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty to the two places together, it is time to solve the problem of Yunnan and Guizhou together.
At this time, it was a bit far away to say this. After all, most of Shu is still under the control of bandits and rebels. The Battle of Chengdu only defeated the main force of the rebels and some bandits' army, and controlled the richest areas in Shu.
Zhang Mingwei didn't need to say much about the prisoners, but he began to register the prisoners according to his previous experience to facilitate the next arrangement. The number of people is large, it will take at least a few days.
As for the situation of the Chengdu defense war, Zhang Mingwei already knew about it, he certainly had to deal with it.
Sichuan Governor Chen Shiqi, who was not responsible and inaction, directly removed his post and took him back to the capital, and the court handled it. In addition, Sichuan Governor Liu Zhibo was brave enough to serve, so he ordered him to temporarily take up the post of Sichuan Governor and submit his post to the court. It was a foregone conclusion that he would become a regular person.
From an inspector to a governor, it is generally almost impossible. The inspector is just a patrol in the local area on behalf of the emperor. Although his power is great, his level is very small. And the governor is a real chief official.
This kind of promotion beyond the level is definitely surprising. However, for Duke Xingguo, there are examples of the Changsha prefect directly recommending it as a cabinet assistant. This kind of thing from the inspector to the governor is actually not uncommon.
However, for Liu Zhibo, it was definitely a great joy and the biggest stimulation. Therefore, he could clearly see the matter of collecting money and food from local gentry, and he became much more active.
