First Prince of Ming Dynasty Chapter 835

  Chapter 835 New Year

  After listening to Mu Ying's words, Yang Siyi felt much more at ease. He also secretly worried that at such a young age, Marquis Pingxi has mastered the military and political power in Yunnan.

   Seeing that he was still so respectful, his heart fell to the ground, and he was in the political position of Pingzhang in Yunnan, so he knew how much temptation Xipinghou had received in the past few months.

  The large and small Tu ethnic groups in Yunnan, Nanyang countries and Luchuan Kingdom and other southwestern countries are trying their best to test how loyal Mu Ying is to Ming Dynasty.

The size of Yunnan and the danger of the terrain are definitely enough to establish a country and pass on the surname, especially the families of the soldiers have already moved here. Those ordinary people may not have the heart of a dragon. Can.

   Not long after, many officials got the news that Mr. Pingzhang had returned, and they all rushed to express their condolences. After all, he was the nominal official in Yunnan and their immediate boss.

   Moreover, the actual Fengjiang Pingxihou also respected him very much, so the main hall of the Hou's mansion was full of officials, big and small, and it was very lively.

  After the brief greetings, everyone chatted about government affairs, inevitably mentioning the cold disaster that swept across the Central Plains this winter.

  By the way, we talked about the Mongolian affairs in northern Xinjiang. After roughly unifying the political views through various means of expression, under the arrangement of Yang Siyi, they all gradually left.

  After everyone left, Mu Ying took out a list from her pocket and handed it to Yang Siyi: "They're all pretty cautious, but I'm just a little worried. If a small greed turns into a big greed, it's inevitable that the mind will be distorted."

  The situation in Yunnan is special, and it is close to many countries. Many people see that it is difficult for Mu Ying to communicate, so they have contacted officials in Yunnan in the name of business.

Yang Siyi looked it over carefully and said: "Let's leave this to the old man. After all, the Marquis is a martial artist, so it's not easy to use civil servants and officials to govern easily, otherwise he will inevitably be impeached by the censor. Being in the frontier, after all, it is no better than being able to see the Holy Majesty at any time." When the time comes, Master Hou must think twice before acting."

Seeing that Mu Ying was a little disconcerted, she continued to persuade: "This is not only for you, but also for the overall situation. The wind and clouds here are gathering and attracting fame. If someone else replaces you, it may not be able to control it. Once something bad happens, the court will come again." How much will it cost to get it back."

  Hearing this, Mu Ying's expression became solemn, and he accepted with a serious face. He personally participated in the Western Expedition to destroy Liang from the beginning to the end, and he knew how difficult this journey was, and how many soldiers sacrificed their lives to bury their bones.

The two walked to the study and sat down, retreating from the attendants, Yang Siyi smiled and nodded his wounds: "With this injury in front, the matter of burning history and relocating people in Yunnan is easy, and it can be subtle, and the only thing worth worrying about is the matter of Luchuan Already, Lord Hou has a plan in his mind."

"Originally, we still have to wait a few years to be sure. Luchuan's national strength is strong, far from being comparable to the Duan family of King Liang, but after seeing the new firearms brought back by Yun Gong, I feel that there is enough food and grass to fight. First win the first victory." , destroy its arrogance and national power, lose its courage, and then advance troops to gradually eat away at it, and destroy its country within twenty years."

Yang Siyi hadn't seen the power of firearms yet, but he believed in Mu Ying's vision, and he smiled and said: "If you can accomplish this, you will die without regrets. I really depend on Lord Marquis, mediocre old man, Maybe it can also leave a mark in the vast history."

"Where is it?" Mu Ying said sincerely: "Before you came, Ying was at a loss. Many government affairs were entrusted to the Gao family, and it was difficult to sleep day and night. Now I can concentrate on foreign affairs without any worries. It is you. thanks to

  Yang Siyi has cheered up. He is not young anymore. He thought it would take at least a hundred years for Luchuan to be completely pacified. If he wants to leave troubles for future generations, he feels ashamed of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

   On Bingchen Shuo, the first month of the ninth year of Hongwu, the Shangyu Fengtian Hall was congratulated by the imperial congratulations, the ministers were feasted in the Wuying Hall, and the empress was ordered to have a tin banquet in the Kunning Palace.

  Ding Si, the prince's family feasted the princes and princes in the Wenhua Hall, and the prince Gu said to him: “Have you heard of the way of cultivating virtue and advancing virtuousness?”

  The dynasties responded to each other and said: "Every time I hear the Confucian ministers, I know the basics, but I haven't grasped the essentials."

Zhu Biao wears a crown of nine chapters and stands in the upper position with a purple gold crown on his head: "Zao rate miscellaneous wear is the appearance of the body, respectful and gentle is the appearance of virtue, and those who see it from the outside can know the inside. The ancient gentleman tends to be restrained. Those who go up and down are counted, and those who move around without violating the rules and regulations, have their virtues filled inside and excel outside."

"Therefore, the knowledge of the instrument is high and the way is good, and the evil deeds are not seen day by day, but the evil is far away. After cultivating one's own virtue, it is natural enough to convince others. They are like tigers and wolves, they are afraid of them like snakes, and if they indulge in their hobbies, they will be trapped by them, so be careful!"

  "The ministers and others respectfully listen to the prince's admonitions, and they should be relatives, virtuous and far-sighted, cultivate morality and self-cultivation, and enjoy peace and peace, so as to avoid the worries of father and brother, and become a model of the beauty of the clan and all the people."

   "Goodness."

After the banquet, the prince led all the kings to the Wuying Hall to invite the emperor. The emperor went out and led all the sons to the ancestral temple, where they knelt under the tablets of the ancestors and the ancestors. The sons and grandsons of the industry are prosperous, and the classics are collected. The emperor has sons, and the elders of his descendants defend the state and inherit the great rule.

"The eldest son of today, Biao, has been established as the crown prince since the beginning of the founding of the country, and he is in the East Palace to announce to the world. The princes of Jin and others have also been granted titles. There are senior and young generals in succession. Foreign insults, I would like to use the notice first to sacrifice to the Taimiao!"

  All the princes prayed with the elders and young ones offering incense, and the emperor stood on one side, watching the princes with his eyes, and outsiders could not know what was in his heart.

  After offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, the emperor and the crown prince went to the Altar of Sheji. Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they offered sacrifices to Sheji, Yuezhen Haidu and famous mountains and rivers in the world.

  Afterwards, the emperor returned to the Huagai Palace, and Zhu Biao temporarily took time out to ask the Minister of Rites and others to check everything, and then ordered all the ministries to follow the etiquette and prepare for the congratulations of foreign envoys.

The Jinwu Guards held painting halberds and stood on the east and west sides of Danbi Danchi, and the cavalry guards carried swords and stood on the east and west sides of Daluo Danbi. Envoys from more than 40 countries, including Annan, Champa, Chenla, Siam, Luni, Sulu, etc., dressed in court clothes, knelt down in front of Fengtian Hall, congratulated the emperor on the New Year, and paid homage to Shanhu Long live.

   At this time, the prince and the kings watched the ceremony. This is a moment that belongs exclusively to the emperors of the Celestial Dynasty.

  It was the end of spring, and Daming sent his army northward. At this time, the grass had already grown, and the army horses did not need to bring too much fodder. They could feed the horses while fighting, saving a considerable amount of food and grass.

Coupled with God's will, when there is no water, there will be water, and grass will grow when there is no grass, and the cold and heat will be adjusted, so there will be no worries. All the Tatar tribes retreated. He led his troops to hold back several major departments such as Turhut of the Wala Choros Department.

After two months of traveling, Li Wenzhong led the army to catch up, and Chen Bing lined up. After a few days of testing, the battle began. The new firearms played a major role. The cavalry, which Mongolia was once proud of, lost its invincible edge in front of the artillery and was defeated instantly. Turning an acceptable defeat into an irreparable defeat.

Fu Youde, the Duke of the State of Yan, who came from the Beijing camp with elites, broke into the enemy's formation as if he had entered an uninhabited land. He beheaded the leader of the Wala, Mengke Timur. Under the threat of artillery like thunder and fire, thousands of people were killed by trampling each other.

After the war, more than 37,000 Valas soldiers and 10,000 horses were captured, as well as 4,840 camels, 112,452 cattle and sheep, and countless gold, silver and jewels. .

  The remnants of Wala kowtowed and begged to surrender, and all Tatar tribes also sent envoys to Beijing to express their submission. They thought that Ming would retreat as before, but it turned out not to be the case. The Ming army turned their spearheads on Tatar again.
