Chapter 647: Return to the old world! Then kill all the way!

Change your native land and return to your hometown?

Mu Sheng murmured to himself, his eyes full of hope.

Zhu Gaoxu lazily said: To put it bluntly, these chieftains have now formed a state within a state. They are either indulging in lawlessness, competing with the imperial court for land, mineral deposits and other resources, or obstructing the passage of post roads and foreign populations. Enter……

On the surface, it seems that the imperial court is in peace with them, but once the imperial court shows signs of decline, these barbarians will turn into a pack of wolves, staring fiercely at the fat piece of Ming Dynasty, trying to bite off a piece of it!

Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng nodded in agreement.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

Both of them are famous generals in the world, and they have fought against foreign barbarians for many years, so they can still understand these principles.

The barbarians are weak when they are weak, and they are bandits when they are strong. Although they are not causing any serious harm at the moment, they will definitely become a hidden worry in the long run!

Moreover, chieftains have been officials for generations and dominate one area. Some chieftains are tyrannical and lawless. They kill and seize the lives of the people in the territory, and take and ask for anything. The chieftains instigate armed fights or wars for power and profit, which leads to the loss of life and the rebellion against the imperial court.

The Ming Dynasty wants the southwest border to be completely stable, so these chieftains must be wiped out!

Prince! Mu Sheng said with a sad face, The problem is that sending troops to wipe out these chieftains will cost too much!

Almost the Chieftain lives his life deep in the mountains and dense forests. He occupies a natural and dangerous location, and he is very strong and united. If our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty go deep into the mountains and dense forests to fight with them, the battle losses will only be horrifyingly high!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and did not refute Mu Sheng's statement, but mentioned the idea of ​​returning to his native land again.

That's why I just proposed another way, to change the situation and return to the current situation!

The best way to change the situation is to plan and capture, the next best thing is to suppress them, the best way to make them surrender, and the worst way to order them to surrender.

Abolish the chieftains, establish prefectures and counties, and let the court select floating officials with a certain term to directly manage the government affairs in their jurisdiction.

To implement the reform of the land, we should use a combination of grace and force. Let the chieftains take the initiative to accept the implementation of the land conversion as the best policy, and use force to solve the problem is the worst policy. However, in the current situation, killing the chicken to scare the monkey is a good measure!

After a pause, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Mu Sheng.

After you go back, pick a suitable target and kill it with the power of thunder. Then set up prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, and the imperial court will send officials to govern!

After that, we will summon a group of chieftains to come and obey the order, and tell them that the imperial court is about to implement the national policy of converting the natives to locals in the southwest region. If anyone refuses to agree and holds objections, then continue to kill until all the chieftains voluntarily hand over their seals. and weapons, and cooperate with the imperial court in reforming the country!

Hearing the prince's bloody words full of murderous intent, even Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng couldn't help but trembled all over!

If we really do this, God knows how many barbarians will die because of it!

After all, those chieftains are not fools. After being the emperor for so many years, how can they willingly hand over their power?

There must be a lot of resistance!

And the solution given by the prince is to kill!

Kill them until they are scared, kill them until they are timid, and then these chieftain chiefs will be obedient!

Mu Sheng took a deep look at Zhu Gaoxu, feeling a little uneasy.

Perhaps seeing Mu Sheng's hesitation, Zhu Gaoxu smiled and spoke.

Mu Sheng, don't feel any psychological pressure!

Gu is now the crown prince of the prison country, and the order was given by Gu, so Gu will naturally support you!

Upon hearing this, Mu Sheng's face turned red and he hurriedly explained: His Royal Highness, your words are serious, I understand!

Admittedly, the reason why Mu Sheng hesitated just now was because this matter was too big and there were too many people to kill!

Although Mu Sheng is not afraid of killing, he is afraid that if he keeps killing all the way, he will eventually become a miserable abandoned son and be pushed out by the prince Zhu Gaoxu as a scapegoat!

After all, Confucianism has always promoted benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the treatment of barbarians should also be based on education.

If Mu Sheng continues to kill like this, he will inevitably be impeached by civil servants and gentry, and be reviled by the world!

But now that he had received the promise from Prince Zhu Gaoxu, Mu Sheng's heart fell back into his stomach.

As long as you don't become a scapegoat in the end, it's no big deal to be reviled by the world.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and suddenly said: Let's do this, let's do the surgery on the Yang family of Bozhou!

I heard that the Yang family has ruled Bozhou for many dynasties. Their power is deeply entangled, and they have long been disobedient. Moreover, their residences are decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and they are good at using eunuchs. They are just like a local emperor.

You don't need to find any evidence. When you get back, send troops to attack the state and wipe it out with thunderous force. Kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and frighten all the chieftains!

Bozhou Yang Family!

Mu Sheng's pupils shrank and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The Yang family in Bozhou has maintained a good relationship with Prince Mu's Mansion, stabilizing the social order in Bozhou to the greatest extent and promoting local economic development. After more than 20 generations and hundreds of years of development, Bozhou has become highly Sinicized, and its economic and military strength is The highest among the chieftains in the southwest.

But this also means that the Bozhou Yang family is undoubtedly the most powerful among all the chieftains in the southwest!

The prince suddenly spoke and designated the Yang family of Bozhou as the chicken who killed the chicken to scare the monkeys. Is this to frighten the southwestern chieftains, or to beat himself up?

Mu Sheng did not dare to think any more and directly expressed his position on the spot.

Chen Mu Sheng accepts the order!

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him lightly, feeling slightly dissatisfied.

This Mu Sheng is different from Zhang Fu. He has too many little thoughts and is far less pure than Zhang Fu!

Zhu Di’s reminder is not unreasonable. You still have to knock when it’s time to knock!

As for why the Yang family in Bozhou was chosen, it was because the Yang family in Bozhou was developing so well that its strength surpassed all the chieftains in the southwest. UU read www.uukanshu.net

When the imperial court was strong, these chieftains might not have dared to act rashly; as the imperial court became increasingly corrupt and the central government's control over local areas weakened, how could these local emperors be suppressed?

So much so that the Yang family in Bozhou finally started a rebellion in Bozhou during the Wanli period!

Yang Yinglong, the governor of Bozhou Xuanwei, was arrogant and arrogant based on his merits. He had committed many acts of arrogance and violation of the rules. At the same time, he also selected beautiful women and raised eunuchs in the area under his jurisdiction. He was cruel, murderous, ruthless and cunning by nature.

This person also committed crimes within the jurisdiction, acted tyrannically, plundered other people's property wantonly, and had many disputes and fights with other families in the territory, which attracted the Five Sis and Seven Surnames under the jurisdiction of the Xuanwei Division of Bozhou and who were allied with each other to join forces to fight against the Yang family. , thus kicking off the Battle of Boshu.

In the 24th year of Wanli, Yang Yinglong openly rebelled and provoked a war, and the Battle of Bozhou broke out.

At the beginning of the war, Yang Yinglong had the advantage because the court was unprepared. However, as the court increased its troops, Yang Yinglong was finally defeated and committed suicide.

However, the Battle of Bozhou lasted more than a hundred days. The Ming Dynasty gathered the power of eight provinces, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang, sent 240,000 troops, and consumed about 2 million taels of silver. In the end, the Yang family's rebellion was put down and it was listed as the Ming Shenzong. One of the three major signs of Wanli.

It seemed that the imperial court was a great success and wiped out the rebel bandits. However, the Battle of Bozhou almost exhausted the last military and financial resources of the Ming Dynasty and weakened the defense power of the Northeast. It was a turning point in the decline of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty, so that there was Ming Dynasty. actually perished in Wanli.

Anyway, the reform is imminent, and killing one of them is also a killing. It is better to treat the Yang family of Bozhou as the chicken and eliminate this hidden danger in advance!

I've told you everything that needs to be told.

The southwest border of Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you two from now on!

Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng both looked shocked and immediately fell to their knees on the ground.

I am willing to die for the Ming Dynasty!
