Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 480 Thank Your Majesty for His Grace

  It is different from what later generations imagined.

  Before reforming the land and returning to the country, the border of Daming in the southwest was extremely unstable.

  Because what Ming pursued was the policy of confinement.

  The objects of the Jiyu include both the natives in the south and the Duoyan Sanwei in the north. Therefore, when later generations draw maps, this concept is often ignored, which leads to dozens of map versions of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

Some people think that although Jili Prefecture or the tribes in Jili accepted the rule of Ming Dynasty, they guaranteed a certain degree of autonomy, so the relationship with Daming is more like a vassal state. The area should not be included in the prefectures and counties of Ming Dynasty.

   Some people also think that Jiling Prefecture and Jilingwei move frequently, and if one professes a minister today, it will be reversed tomorrow, so the calculation is troublesome.

   This also caused anyone who studies Ming history to look at the map of the territory and start to be confused.

  The territory of the Ming Dynasty is like this. In the southwestern provinces, especially the three chief ministers of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, it is even more muddled, and it has completely become a muddle.

  Because in these three places, a large number of Jimi Guards and Jimi Tuzhous were established. Among the various Tuzhous and tribes, even they themselves don't know where their Tuzhou territory is, and they don't have this concept at all.

   Chieftains frequently rebel, just like last time, the Milu rebellion spanned the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. Why? Because her tribe has no concept of region, some villages are in Yunnan, and some villages are in Guizhou, but the imperial court wants to control these tribes and local officials, but they often give him official positions. Milu's father is from Kaihua Prefecture. Native officials.

Milu was planning to marry a local official in Pu'an Prefecture before, but Milu refused, and the two sides had many conflicts. Milu went back to his hometown in Kaihua Prefecture, and with his troops, he mobilized the headquarters of the thirty-seven villages in Yunnan and Guizhou. He entered Pu'an Prefecture for revenge.

Therefore, the territory here can be described as intricate, just like Guizhou, where Fang Jinglong is now, the north is not bad, most of them are soldiers and civilians of the Han Dynasty, and many counties have been established, but when they arrive in the south, they are all Tuzhou and Jijiwei. These chieftains, relying on their strength to lay down the land, are too lazy to care about the territory of the prefectures and counties that your court has delineated for me. If I have a lot of people, I can invade the land of other tribes. Although Your Majesty named me a native official of Kaihua Prefecture, The authority that I manage may have spanned several states.

  Kaihua Prefecture, in later generations, belongs to Wenshan City, Yunnan, but here, it belongs to the management scope of the chieftain of Kaihua Prefecture, and the chieftain of Kaihua Prefecture, which spans Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, is under the jurisdiction of the chief envoy of Guizhou.

The people in Annan kept moving the boundary markers north because they saw this gap. Anyway, the chieftains had no concept of territory at all. The chief envoys of Yunnan and Guizhou were faced with a messy and intertwined relationship between the states. Also helpless, open one eye and close one eye.

This time, I met Fang Jinglong, who happens to have national hatred and family hatred. His wife is the daughter of the chieftain of Kaihua Prefecture. This Kaihua Prefecture borders An Nanguo, so Kaihua Prefecture is almost equivalent to being under the administration of Guizhou Chief Envoy. He was naturally upset, so he led the mountain camp to patrol the border, and moved the boundary marker along the way.

  When Fang Jifan heard Milu mentioning the boundary marker, in the spirit of Annan and I being inseparable, he beat the dog in the water.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly, noncommittal. Regarding Fang Jifan's proposal, he just said flatly: "The people in Annan are a little outrageous. Find an opportunity to issue an order, and they will express their apology."

  Fang Jifan said: "But I heard that King Annan actually established himself as emperor in his country, and he has the ambition to unify the West."

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't have much reaction, he just said: "I will ask someone to check."

  Mostly, this investigation is just perfunctory.

  With the lessons learned by Emperor Wen in An Nanguo, Emperor Hongzhi obviously had no interest in regaining Jiaozhi County.

Mi Lu, that is, Liu Ruyi, said: "Your Majesty said yes, but... I heard that there was a two-year famine in Annan, and the people were poor. The concubine's father was originally a local official in Kaihua Prefecture, but now Kaihua Prefecture has been converted from the native land and has become a In the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, many clansmen of the concubines lived on the Annan border all year round, and they were related to many Annan people. They really couldn’t bear their hunger and cold. Now that Guizhou has a bumper harvest last year, especially the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes has also paid off. , Guizhou has accumulated a lot of food, why not recruit their victims and save their lives, which is a pity. My Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, so why not help the vassal states?"

   Relief…

  Fang Jifan glanced at Liu Ruyi... It sounded like a slang word.

  Any ruler does not want his people to be rescued by others, just like Zhu Yuanzhang, do you like Shen Wansan to purchase military rations, supply my army, and rescue my people?

  Because An Nanguo had been established as a prefecture by Daming before that, he took strict precautions against Daming. On the surface, he surrendered, but he had other plans. How could he allow Daming to help their people?

  Fang Jifan immediately said: "That's right, it's time to help, and I think it's justified. Your Majesty's virtue is like rain and dew, and he must not bear to see people burnt."

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment, and then said: "If it's just relief, I will agree."

  For Emperor Hongzhi, what he wanted was nothing more than stability in the southwest, reforming the land and returning to the people, and everything went well.

  I don't mind the others.

  At this moment, an **** hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is waiting impatiently."

   "Oh." Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help smiling and said: "I forgot, Liu Qing's family, you should go to Renshou Palace immediately. The Empress Dowager is old, you can pick up some nice words and say it to her."

   Liu Ruyi replied: "The concubine obeys the order."

  Fang Jifan wanted to follow, but Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said sharply: "Come back."

   "Ah..." Fang Jifan had no choice but to come back obediently, and said, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

   "The woman speaks, what are you going to do?"

   "This..." Fang Jifan muttered for a long time, wanting to say, Your Majesty, I am a child. But he was thin-skinned after all, he bowed his head and pretended to be dead without saying a word.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face softened a little: "Your stepmother is a very smart person, please serve your parents well."

  Fang Jifan said: "I obey the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan, and continued: "You just said so much, but you want to make an idea of ​​An Nanguo?"

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty is wronged, I am a benevolent person, and I don't see poor people around me who can't eat. If you don't believe me, you can go around Fang's house and have a look. There is no hungry person, and this is the same in An Nanguo. If someone is going to go hungry, I will feel very uncomfortable."

  Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something! If his father didn't remind him, he didn't know that Fang Jifan was playing tricks again.

  Emperor Hongzhi said noncommittally: "Handle your job well, you and the prince should not idle around all day."

   "Yes, yes..." Fang Jifan said yes again and again. Although the emperor's words were a bit harsh, he could only agree.

  Zhu Houzhao was a little confused, what does this have to do with himself?

  Seeing Fang Jifan's low-browed and pleasing eyes, Emperor Hongzhi's face eased a lot, and he said: "Your father has made a lot of contributions in Guizhou. Tell me, what you want, I will reward you."

   Fang Jifan said in his heart, many times, His Majesty said it was a reward, but it was all thunder and little rain, it was pure deception.

Fang Jifan thought for a while, and said: "I hope that your Majesty will give me some women who have just given birth, who will be plump and clean. A little bit of knowledge is best."

"what?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

  Liu Jian and others also looked at Fang Jifan with strange faces.

Fang Jifan is also struggling in his heart. This nanny who is innocent and loyal is really the same as the beef cattle listening to Mozart and Beethoven. But...it seems to be very advanced, Fang Jifan also wants to try it, maybe after eating such milk, Fang Xiaofan will really become a lady in the future!

   "Fang Qing's family, don't mess around, what do you want to do with this is simply unreasonable."

  Emperor Hongzhi's tone could not help but tinged with anger. He hated such things the most. He only had one wife in his life. Naturally, he couldn't understand some people with bad tastes.

Only then did Fang Jifan remember how misleading his words just now were. Facing everyone's strange gazes, he quickly explained: "Actually, she is my sister. She doesn't like to **** that stuff, she likes to mix it with something, so you need to mix it with something. Squeeze it out, and then put a little bit of sugar to suit her appetite..."

   "..."

  Fang Jifan's words are really subtle enough, and Emperor Hongzhi also made up his mind for a long time before he knew what it was!

  With his hands behind his back, he sighed and said, "Oh, I'll try to find it for you."

  Fang Jifan was moved to tears and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

  Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face: "Don't thank me, I just let others look for it. It's hard to find this kind of woman."

   Zhu Houzhao on the side was happy: "Yes, I know..."

   "What do you know?" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flashed a sharp edge, and it swept across Zhu Houzhao like a blade.

  Zhu Houzhao calmed down, restrained his expression, and said sternly: "I know that after giving birth to a baby, I only know this, and I don't know anything else."

"roll!"

   Obviously, he angered his father again today, so Zhu Houzhao escaped as if he had been pardoned.

  Fang Jifan was ashamed and hurried to leave, but at this moment, an **** hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, the southeast urgently reports that the Japanese pirates have caused trouble in Taizhou, and the southeast is urgent."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and Liu Jian and the others couldn't help but straighten their faces.

  Emperor Hongzhi calmed down and said: "Read!"
