In the fifth year of Hongwu's reign, the imperial court ordered Deng Yu to be the general to conquer the south. He led his troops to pacify San Mao and other southwestern chieftains' thirty-six caves. The deputy general Wu Liang also defeated Wu Kai, and the barbarians in Guzhou totaled 223 caves, and their territory was changed. There were 15,000 civilians, and more than 4,500 scattered soldiers were collected to level the land.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Wu Mian'er rebelled against the barbarians of the Five Dynasties, and the momentum was very strong. Your imperial grandfather appointed your sixth uncle as the commander, and Xin Guogong Tang He as the general who conquered the captives. He killed the barbarians in Jiuxi and captured more than 40,000 people. People, all the seedlings in the southwest are terrified."

These were all large-scale military operations carried out by the Ming Dynasty against the southwestern chieftains.

Zhu Yunxi just never thought that the prince's father would remember it so clearly.

But I heard Zhu Biao say again: "Not to mention that in the fourth year of Hongwu, Cao Liangchen, the Marquis of Xuanning, led his troops to capture Sangzhi. Rongmei Dongyuan, Shi Nandao, Xuanwei envoy, Tan Dasheng, defeated his younger brother Dawang, deputy Xuanwei, Tan Daxing, and Guangbaozi replied Gu and others all came to the court to accept the golden tiger talisman awarded by Yuan Dynasty. They ordered the Xuanwei Division of Shizhou to be the third rank of subordinates, and the chief officials of Dongxiang to be the sixth rank of official officials.

In the fourteenth year, Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, moved to collect all the water sources, reach the level of the pagoda, disperse the hairy caves, and set up the Shizhou Guard Military and Civilian Command and Envoy Department.

In the fifteenth year, Shi Nan Xuanfu Division was established and placed under the jurisdiction of Shizhou Wei.

In the seventeenth year, the hair was scattered, and the son of Qin Yewang, who was in charge of appeasement along the border, came to court and ordered him to be the minister of this department.

In the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Liang, Duke Lanyu of the State of Liang captured Sanmaodong and provoked the chief Qin Dawang and more than 10,000 people. He set up a residence for thousands of military and civilian households in Datian and placed it under the Shizhou Guards."

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh a little at this time.

In the past few years, people only knew that the Ming Dynasty used troops on nine sides. In recent years, they only know that the imperial court marched eastward and southward. However, few people know that from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present Hongwu 29th year, it has been going on almost every moment. There is a war going on.

In the high mountains of the southwest, he fought with the chieftains who were unwilling to obey the imperial court.

Prosperity and prosperity were only limited to the homeland of the Central Plains.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly changed his eyes at this time: "What my father said here was the old story of the chieftains of Huguang Road, but he never mentioned the chieftains of Sichuan Road, Guangxi Road, Yunnan Road and Guizhou Dusi. Could it be that my father wanted to use Huguang as the first to break the situation? point?"

In an instant, Zhu Yunxi stood up and found a copy of Southwest Kanyu from a corner.

Kanyu covers several routes in the southwest.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Kanyu, starting from Dongting Lake and advancing toward the southwest inch by inch.

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "If you want to use military strategy to manage the Southwest Chieftains, you must first use Huguang as a breakthrough point.

Huguang occupies the northern tip of the southwest. Yuezhou Prefecture, Changde Prefecture, Changsha Prefecture, Jingzhou Prefecture, and Wuchang Prefecture in the Dongting area are now the places where grain is produced. The troops and horse equipment of the commander of Huguang Road are local military households, and they are familiar with Huguang. Topography, humanities and customs.

Using the food from Huguang Road as military rations and the troops and horses of the Huguang Road Dusi as the main force, we can march to Yongshun, Baojing, Sizhou, Sinan, Guzhou, Wukai and other places in the southwest to make a cheap march.

If you go to Huguang Ding, you can go here for food, pass through Baoqing Prefecture, Yongzhou Prefecture, go south to Guangxi Road to Guilin Prefecture, Pingle Prefecture, and Ding Guangxi Road Tusi. You can also go west to Sichuan Road from Huguang Road to Shizhou, Ding Shizhu, Youyang, Changguan, etc. The chieftain then marched westward to the capital of Guizhou, and attacked with the commander of the capital of Sichuan from the east and west.

If Yunnan Dao and Guangxi Dao soldiers enter the border and block the opening, they can encircle and suppress most of the chieftain forces in the southwest."

Zhu Biao, who had long been confident and had a plan in his mind, told the southwestern chieftain in one breath his plan to force the southwestern chieftain to return to his native land with troops.

Then he took a deep breath, picked up the teacup in front of him, and drank a full glass of water.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Biao blinked and looked at his son in front of him who seemed to have been dumbfounded.

A smile appeared on his face: "What do you think of this strategy for your father?"

Zhu Yunxi was a little stunned.

More than how.

He simply has the military power and the world in mind.

I have always believed that the reform of the southwestern chieftains should be done slowly, step by step, and nibbling away bit by bit.

Transform one place, and then use it as a leverage point to continue to transform the next place.

In Zhu Yunxi's plan, this matter must at least continue from the old man's hands to his own.

And what does the prince father in front of him think and what is he going to do?

Their direct backhand was to include the entire southwestern Huguang Road, Sichuan Road, Guangxi Road, Yunnan Road, and Guizhou Dusi. These four roads and one Dusi were included.

In those words, countless people in these five places were about to have their legs broken, and even more so, the soldiers on the front line were about to risk their lives and forcibly return to their homeland.

Seeing that his son was really dumbfounded, Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh, looking very happy.
