It was really something that no one had expected that Meng Daogan would drive away Si Lunfa.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be surprising at all. There have been too many cases in history where ministers have fought for the throne, and everyone has become immune to it.
If you think about it more carefully, these countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty are basically experiencing things related to usurpation of the throne, and Luchuan has finally caught up in time.
In Japan, two emperors were fighting for legitimacy, in Goryeo, Lee Seong-gye almost succeeded in usurping the throne, and in Annan, it was definitely Hu Jinye who was plotting treason.
Even the situation in the north is not much better. A few years ago, there was an incident of the killing of the lord. The Mongols are now divided into two major forces, the Oirat and the Tatar, and they are also fighting for the so-called orthodoxy.
After all this, the Ming Dynasty now seems to be relatively stable. Of course, if it weren't for Zhu Yunhuan, the Jingnan Rebellion might have happened soon.
So if you think about it this way, now is the most suitable time to usurp the throne. It seems that everyone is busy with these things, and if you don't keep up, it would seem a bit against God's will.
After leaving the court, Zhu Yunhuan came to the Wuying Palace and directly summoned the generals of the Five Military Commandery. Naturally, this matter needed to be treated with caution.
Duke of Wei Xu Huizu, Duke of Kaiguo Chang Sheng, Duke of Cao Li Jinglong, plus Duke of Liang Lan Yu and Duke of Ying Fu Youde, Zhu Yunhuan still felt that he had reliable generals on hand and did not need to worry too much.
Zhu Yunxun also asked directly, "The matter has been discussed in the court. What do you think now?"
Lan Yu replied without thinking, "Your Majesty, I want to fight! I am willing to order the troops from Huguang and Sichuan, and send the Yunnan troops led by Xiping Hou, and Luchuan will surely be destroyed."
These were Lan Yu's thoughts. In his opinion, this matter was really nothing, because it had been done this way before. It was just the same thing regarding Luchuan, and it seemed to have been happening over and over again.
This was not the first time that the Luchuan Rebellion had occurred, including the previous Jianchang Wei and so on. This was because the southwest was somewhat unstable, and the court did send a large army, and it was basically Lan Yu, Mu Chun and others who suppressed it.
Fu Youde stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although I am old, I still have the strength to lead the troops."
Fu Youde still refuses to admit that he is getting old. He feels that now that he has the opportunity to go to war, he still wants to fight a battle. This is also his biggest pursuit now.
After all, he has fought in battles all his life and thinks he is in good health now. So if he has the opportunity now, Fu Youde will definitely not think of it as a burden. It is a chance for him to continue to make achievements.
Especially considering that his son had not made any great achievements in Taicang Port before, but had no merit at all, this made Fu Youde even more worried.
His son is really unreliable. Now he only hopes to make more contributions with his old bones. Then the emperor will allow Fu Rong to inherit the title because of his contributions and Princess Shouchun's face.
Li Jinglong actually wanted to join the battle, but now he could only think about it because he knew he had other important tasks.
Although the war has come, there is no need to consider mobilizing the entire army, nor is there any need to send several generals at the duke level to fight. He still has to escort Zhu Yuanzhang back to Fengyang. This is Li Jinglong's most important task.
Xu Huizu also said immediately, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to assist the King of Xiang and the King of Shu in quelling the civil strife in Luchuan."
Lan Yu and Fu Youde couldn't help but look at Xu Huizu immediately. They should not underestimate these youngsters. Xu Huizu was too smart.
After all, this was not a large-scale war. Theoretically, even if the imperial court sent troops, it could also be said that the vassal kings were the commanders-in-chief and led the troops to suppress the rebellion. The imperial court had taken similar actions many times before.
Chang Sheng thought that he should just give up. Among the national troops now, his ability was the lowest and he didn't have the capability to lead the troops alone.
No, there is also Tang Yu who inherited the title of Duke of Xin. This guy was entrusted to Zhu Yunhuan by Tang He back then. He is also a man of mediocre ability, and keeping the title is the greatest success for him.
Looking at these generals, Zhu Yunhuan laughed and said, "I don't think it's necessary. I think it's enough for Xiping Hou to lead the Yunnan, Guizhou and Shu armies to fight. What do you think?"
This can be regarded as Zhu Yunhuan's self-knowledge. He knew that he did not have much military talent, so in many wars, he would still seek advice from these senior generals of the Five Military Commandery.
Especially veteran generals like Lan Yu and Fu Youde, their abilities are worthy of recognition. They still have a lot of say in military matters and can provide Zhu Yunhuan with a lot of reference opinions.
After hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said, Fu Youde and others fell silent, because they all thought this seemed to be a good choice.
The Si Lunfa rebellion in the early years was suppressed by Mu Ying. Mu Chun, as Mu Ying's eldest son, had been in the army since he was a child and was also a young general with outstanding military achievements.
He is now in charge of Yunnan. He is very familiar with the situation in Yunnan and the various forces in Luchuan.
Mu Chun was originally the commander-in-chief of Yunnan. Now it was more than enough for him to mobilize troops from Sichuan and Guizhou. There was no need to transfer troops from Huguang all the way.
With Mu Chun in charge, it was basically enough. And Zhu Yunhuan obviously wanted to control the scale of the war, so naturally there was no need to mobilize more troops.
If Fu Youde, Lan Yu and others were really dispatched, these people might not think about suppressing the civil strife in Luchuan, but about completely destroying Luchuan.
Zhu Yunhuan also said helplessly, "You probably know that the navy is about to set sail, and it will also bring a large number of soldiers."
Lan Yu tried to fight for it again, "Your Majesty, I think going to sea will not involve too many troops. Our Ming Dynasty is strong and can mobilize a large army."
This is also what Lan Yu thought in his heart. Luchuan is nothing. Although the navy has indeed taken away a lot of soldiers, there is no shortage of troops.
If a big war really breaks out, the current Ming Dynasty can easily mobilize at least three armies of 100,000 soldiers.
Regardless of whether it was attacking Luchuan or sending the navy out of the port, the total number of troops was less than 100,000. These were no pressure at all for the Ming Dynasty, and fighting on multiple fronts was not a burden at all.
"What about dredging the canal?" Zhu Yunhuan said unhappily, "If you go to Luchuan, I'm afraid you will take the opportunity to destroy Luchuan and fight all the way to Annan, right?"
Lan Yu really had this idea. Luchuan had been entrenched in the southwest for too long, and there would be chaos at any time, which must have made him unhappy. If he could destroy Luchuan in one go, that would be the best thing to do.
As for Annan, there is no need to put pressure on it. Luchuan, which was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, does not seem to be very powerful. But this regime was once invincible and defeated Annan and other small countries in Indochina without any resistance. Luchuan is just insignificant compared to the Ming Dynasty, but it is a giant force in Indochina. This regime has fought against the Mongolian army that dominated the world for decades.
Looking at Lan Yu and others, Zhu Yunhuan was helpless, "What should we do after we conquer it? How should we govern it after we conquer it?"
Zhu Yunhuan naturally had a lot of thoughts about the Indochina Peninsula. In his opinion, the significance of conquering the Indochina Peninsula even exceeded that of conquering the Korean Peninsula.
But the reality is that it is not too difficult to conquer Annan or destroy Luchuan, which is at the end of its strength. The military advantage does exist, but the more difficult thing is governance after a great victory.
In history, Zhu Di destroyed Annan. During the reign of Zhu Zhanji, he voluntarily gave up Annan because the cost of governance was too high and there was no return.
This seems to be something worth complaining about, but Zhu Zhanji was helpless because governing Annan required a lot of money, and the people there often rebelled, and the army had to continue to suppress them.
The input and output are not proportional at all, and it is even like a bottomless black hole over there, which naturally makes people doubtful.
After all, countries like Annan still have grudges against the Central Plains Dynasty. These countries have too many wars with the Central Plains Dynasty in history, and they are also accustomed to the experience of being destroyed occasionally and then rebelling again.
It is difficult to conquer the world, and it is even more difficult to rule the world. These are also some of Zhu Yunhuan’s current feelings.
After conquering Luchuan and Annan, it is absolutely impossible for him to just leave after the battle. What he needs to do is to completely control these areas after the battle, which requires careful planning.
Zhu Yunhuan then said, "So it is appropriate to appoint Mu Chun as the commander-in-chief? Then I will send someone to convey the order, and the Five Military Commandery will also cooperate to arrange things."
Although Lan Yu and the others were disappointed, they still said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Although this may seem a bit like flattery, if the goal is simply to suppress the rebellion in Luchuan and prevent these people from rushing into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it would be completely sufficient to have Mu Chun as the main general.
Zhu Yunhuan also laughed, "When you have a war in the future, you should be quiet for the next two years. Once you have dealt with the internal affairs, you can think about the war again."
Lan Yu and others had no objection to this. Although they wanted to go to war, they could also understand some of the difficulties faced by the current emperor.
In the final analysis, the new emperor had just taken the throne, and he did not necessarily need a great military victory to establish his authority. The tone set by the Ming Dynasty before was to further improve people's livelihood and continue to rectify the administration of officials in the next two years.
This naturally means that a large-scale war is basically unlikely to break out, which is inconsistent with the tone set previously.
As for whether there will really be another opportunity to fight in the future, these things are actually very difficult to say.
At least Fu Youde felt that he had no chance. Now the emperor disliked his age and was unwilling to let him go to the war. If a few years passed, who knew if he would still be there?
Even Lan Yu began to have concerns in this regard. He was about to turn sixty, which meant he would truly enter the ranks of veterans.
Since everyone seemed to have no objection to this arrangement, Zhu Yunhuan felt relieved. He really needed the help of these generals in military matters.
The next step is to issue decrees, mobilize troops, or issue all kinds of military orders. Zhu Yunhuan does not need to worry too much about these, and the Five Military Commanders' Office and the Ministry of War are not just for show.
After finishing these things, Zhu Yunhuan came to the West Palace and said, "Grandfather, there is a traitor in Luchuan who has usurped the Silun Law."
Old Zhu couldn't help laughing. "This Si Lunfa used to be a big shot, but now he's becoming less and less important. What do you think?"
"I was thinking of letting my cousin Mu Chun lead the army to suppress the rebellion, so the army doesn't have to destroy Luchuan." Zhu Yunhuan said with a smile, "It seems that he has escaped to my cousin Mu Chun, so I will keep him for later use."
Old Zhu couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yunhuan and said, "You have a lot on your mind. Forget about it for the next two years. Go fight Luchuan again in a few years."
It was naturally a righteous thing to keep Si Lunfa here, and then fight Luchuan under Si Lunfa's banner. As for rushing to help Si Lunfa take back Luchuan now, it was obviously overthinking.
Even though Si Lunfa has already pledged his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, he should not let his soldiers fight simply for some name, unless there are enough benefits.
Old Zhu also got used to some of Zhu Yunhun's practices. For example, in Annan, Zhu Yunhun often sent people to find the descendants of the Annan Li family.
This can be considered as a hidden plan. As long as the time is right, the Ming Dynasty can use the banner of the Li family to fight against Hu Jinyao who usurped the throne.
The same was true for Goryeo. The fall of Wang Dynasty Goryeo was almost an indisputable fact. However, Lee Seong-gye was afraid of Feng Sheng's deployment of troops in Liaodong, and on the other hand, the Ming Dynasty actually held several members of Wang Dynasty Goryeo's royal family in the name of summoning envoys.
Naturally, there will be no military action if the time is not right, but once the time is ripe, the Ming Dynasty will help these royal families who have lost their country to restore their country.
Zhu Yunhuan was not very good at these things, but when it came to matters of justice, he never minded doing things that would benefit him and cost nothing.
It's no big deal to support a few people at a relatively small cost; they might be of great use in the future, allowing some of his policies to be well implemented.
It doesn’t matter even if some people can see what he is thinking. Sometimes face is not that important, and tangible benefits are what he really cares about.
What's more, to be realistic, if he uses the banner of these royal families of the fallen country, it would also be in line with today's universal values.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help but feel a little proud. Just look at some of the things he is doing now and you will know that this is the true preparation for a rainy day and long-term planning.
As for the war arrangements and so on, they are not a big deal. The war is unlikely to spread to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the overall order in the southwest is still stable.
Continue to promote education, continue to reform the natives, and so on. The border areas of Yunnan and Guizhou will inevitably be under the control of the Ming Dynasty. This is a policy that will never change.
Although there are some minor changes, it still does not affect the overall situation. Zhu Yunhuan only needs to continue to do what he should do. (End of this chapter)
