Chapter 646 The Situation in Yunnan! The Famous General Who Complained!

Gentry landowners.

Zhu Gaoxu has always been very hostile.

Even the gentry and landowners of Annan were no exception.

Now that the large-scale development of Jiaozhi is imminent, mixed resettlement of migrant people is inevitable.

What's more, Huang Fu has been in power in Cochin for so many years and has successfully eased the hostility of the people of Cochin towards the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, there is no need to keep those powerful and powerful landowners in Annan. On the contrary, killing them can more appease the people of Cochin.

"In addition to the mixed resettlement of the people in Cochin, don't you have many captives in Siam, Laos, Myanmar and other places? They all moved to Cochin and were mixed and resettled together. Those who were disobedient were demoted to slaves. First, increase the population in the Cochin area. .”

Unlike Burma, Siam and other places, Jiaozhi borders the mainland of the Ming Dynasty and has implemented a county system, so development must be put on the agenda.

Moreover, Jiaozhi itself is a treasure land. In addition to two crops of grain a year, there are also a large number of gold ore, iron ore and other mineral resources. Once Jiaozhi is successfully developed, the profits for the imperial court will far exceed the imagination of the world!

Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng looked at Zhu Gaoxu like a monster. They never expected that such words could come out of His Highness the Crown Prince's mouth, and they could say them so calmly and calmly.

How can people be sold like animal slaves?

"Prince, how is it different from barbarians to plunder people for trade like this? How will the people of the world view His Highness? This move harms His Highness's reputation for benevolence."

Both of them knew that if Zhu Gaoxu's remarks were spread, they would definitely cause an uproar in the world.

However, Zhu Gaoxu sneered when he heard this and didn't take it to heart at all.

"It's just a false reputation."

"My reputation as a prince has long been ruined, so what else do I need in vain?"

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng were both dumbfounded.

They also understood that Zhu Gaoxu was telling the truth. His reputation as a prince was indeed not very good.

Either when Zhu Gaoxu was still the prince of Han Dynasty, he was arrogant, domineering, and debauched, and committed many evil deeds.

Either he, the prince of Han Dynasty, implemented new laws and policies and offended all the gentry and gentry groups!

Literary men write like swords, and scholars control public opinion.

How much better can the reputation of Prince Zhu Gaoxu be?

"These are small things!"

“The development of Jiaozhi is a big deal!”

"Zhang Fu, you have to be careful. When you get back, discuss it with Huang Fu and draw up a charter."

"The imperial court will issue corresponding policies. You must be prepared to accept Han immigrants and cannot wrong them."

The Han people want to settle down and relocate. Unless they cannot survive, no one is willing to leave their hometown. After all, people are humbled when they leave their hometown. This concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to see it. He used the imperial court to move a group of Han people to Jiaozhi, but in the end, they suffered injustice and hardship in Jiaozhi!

When Zhang Fu heard this, he immediately patted his chest and made his promise.

He originally just wanted to ask the prince for help in subsidizing the Jiaozhi area.

But I didn't expect that His Highness the Prince would come up with a "Jiaozhi Development" plan in the blink of an eye!

The rest is much simpler. Just formulate detailed regulations according to this big development plan and proceed in sequence.

So Zhang Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with eyes full of reverence.

When Mu Sheng saw this scene, he immediately became anxious.

"Prince, what about me?"

"What's wrong with you? Isn't Yunnan good?"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and cursed angrily.

Unexpectedly, Mu Sheng's expression changed and he started to vomit bitterness.

"Your Highness, you don't know that the situation in Yunnan is too complicated, and those chieftains are too rampant!"

"Those bloody chieftains usually enrich themselves by collecting more taxes. When conditions are right, they gradually become more powerful. They even rely on the local armies they control to divide and rob each other and attack each other. They don't take the imperial court seriously at all!"

"Take the imperial court's expedition to the Indo-China Peninsula as an example. Those chieftains either did not respond to the imperial court's call, or they did not work hard and even asked the imperial court for money and food..."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned when he heard this, it was another troublesome job.

After all, the situation in Yunnan is similar to that in Liaodong, or even more complicated than that in Liaodong.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the foreign barbarians in the border areas have been subject to restraint and control.

To control with military and political pressure is called "ji"; to comfort with economic and material interests is called "绻"!

The imperial court recognizes the political dominance of its chiefs and chiefs in their own ethnic groups and regions, and appoints local leaders of ethnic minorities as local officials. Except for their political and nominal affiliation to the central dynasty and their economic obligations to regularly pay tribute to the imperial court, the rest of the All affairs are managed by the minority leaders themselves.

According to the specific situation at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, this is indeed a good method.

In this way, the imperial court was able to pacify the major native chiefs in Yunnan almost without a fight, greatly reducing the loss of manpower, material and financial resources!

The Jisi system went a step further. In the southwest region, it evolved into the Chieftain system.

This inherited the Tusi system of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and adopted the method of "ruling the native people with native officials". The chieftains of each ethnic group were granted official titles such as Xuan comfort envoy, Xuanfu history, appeasement history, recruitment history, thousand households, and hundreds of households. A set of regulations was formed on the official categories, inheritance, tribute and levy, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net, and Marshal's Mansion and Thousand Household Offices were set up at key passes in Yunnan to provide force deterrence.

But the chieftain system is actually a means to win over the native leaders in the southwestern border areas that the central government cannot take care of. It "ruls the native people with native officials", recognizes the hereditary status of the leaders of various ethnic minorities, and gives them official titles for indirect rule. , the imperial edict of the central government was not actually implemented.

Under the rule of the chieftain, the land and the people are hereditary owned by the chieftain. The chieftain each forms a sphere of influence. Judicial, financial, administrative, and military affairs can all be autonomous. They can ask for and take from the local people and have all the power of life and death, except for those who cannot After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, everything else is even comparable to that of an emperor, and only a small symbolic tax is required to be paid to the court.

The so-called chieftains are actually local emperors who ostensibly submit to the Ming Dynasty. When they are in a good mood, they will call you brothers and sisters, but when they are in a bad mood, they will ignore you!

The situation in Yunnan is very complicated. There are many kinds of foreign barbarians who live in deep mountains and dense forests. They occupy natural and dangerous terrain. It is not an easy task to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The southwest region of the Ming Dynasty had the most chieftains. "Everywhere where hundreds of barbarians live, there are chieftains." By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called "Three Xuan and Liuwei" had been formed. The capital was placed in the capitals of the states, and it had no control over the local areas.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is conquering the Indochina Peninsula, there is naturally no need for these chieftain chiefs to exist.

No matter how difficult it is, we must eliminate them one by one and establish state capitals and counties!

"There is no way!"

Mu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

"Your Highness, please enlighten me."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him and uttered four words.

"Return to the land!"
