Chapter 353: Let's Get Rich Together
Liu Chun chatted with Tang Zhao for a while, and talked freely about wine, until the third watch, Tang Zhao's drunken eyes were red, he grabbed Liu Chun's shoulder, and kept shouting brotherly, brotherly, that is called an intimacy! Liu Chun felt that Tang Zhao was good, he was a little rude, but he was bold, and his hands were estimated to be black enough, and he was too short of manpower in Yunnan, so Liu Chun called Tang Zhao aside and muttered a few words.
Feng Cheng was helpless...... His uncle has become an outsider.
But let him follow Liu Chun desperately, he still resisted, even if there were so many gains, he hesitated...... At the beginning, Fu Youde Lanyu and Mu Ying led troops into Yunnan, and Lao Zhu left Mu Ying to guard Yunnan, in fact, Feng Cheng could go back, with his relationship, let the second uncle help, set up some military exploits, mix a marquis, inherit the will of his father Feng Guoyong, and expand the Feng family's court, which is completely promising.
But Feng Cheng doesn't think so, since ancient times, generals have only fought peace, not taught generals to enjoy peace...... Besides, when you return to Beijing, you have to fight, how bitter it is to fight in the south and in the north!
How good it feels for him to stay in Yunnan, not to show the mountains and water, and to be his No. 2 soil emperor in Yunnan quietly!
Feng Cheng stayed with Liu Chun for a few days, and he knew that it was bad, this kid came, and there would be no peaceful days.
Look, there must be a good show, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse......
While he was thinking about it, Tang Zhao and Liu Chun returned to the banquet, and as soon as they spoke, they let Feng Cheng lie down!
"Brother! Eldest brother! As long as it is done! You're my big brother! I don't care if my dad beats me! Tang Zhao grabbed Liu Chun's wrist and wanted to bow his head, he was too real.
Liu Chun couldn't cry or laugh, "Brother Tang, you drank too much!" ”
"Not much! I'm bright now, you're my big brother! ”
……
Feng Cheng next to him didn't know whether to be happy or angry...... Tang Zhao, you call my nephew brother and brother, should you call me uncle?
Xu sensed Feng Cheng's thoughts, and Tang Zhao rose up.
"Surnamed Feng, don't pretend to be a grandson! In a word, do you do it? ”
Uncle didn't think of it, but became a grandson.
Feng Cheng was really speechless.
"Soup-brother!" He didn't dare to call his nephew, so he could only talk about it, "This excavation of copper ore is not a trivial matter, it requires the consent of the imperial court, the nod of Mu Chun, and the promise of Tusi...... We should, we should weigh it up and think twice before we act......"
"Phew!"
Tang Zhao smacked him hard, "I want this consent, I want that consent!" When they all agree, nothing can be done. I can also see that they are all your nephews, and they are also related and alien, you should go to Kunming now, go to welcome Mu Chun back, and see what he says! ”
Feng Cheng hesitated and said: "Tang, Brother Tang, I still have to escort Liu Chun to Yongchangwei, you can't rush ......"
"What Yongchangwei to go to?" Tang Zhao rolled his strange eyes, "Let me tell you, when Liu Chun arrived in Yunnan, he went to his own territory, such a great talent, our majesty is holding him, Yunnan is poor and remote, barbarians everywhere, he should have fun if he can come!" Really let him suffer as a postman? How did you become an uncle? ”
Tang Zhao was scolded, and Feng Cheng fled in embarrassment.
I really couldn't stay, and when I was on the fourth watch, he led people to slip away.
Feng Cheng also wrote a letter to Liu Chun before leaving.
It's not that he doesn't care about family affection, and it's not that he doesn't want to help Liu Chun. After all, Yunnan is still Xiping Hou Muchun has the final say, he went to talk to Mu Chun, try not to conflict between the two sides, and take peace as the most valuable.
After Feng Cheng explained, he took people back to Kunming first, and after asking, Mu Chun led his troops to break the Tusi soldiers and horses in Lancangwei, beheaded hundreds of people, and on the way back, he hurriedly led his troops to meet Mu Chun, and talked about Liu Chun by the way.
Mu Chun is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, but if you look at his appearance, he definitely doesn't look like a person in his thirties, and he is not much younger than Feng Cheng...... I have to say that the hereditary town guarding Yunnan seems to be beautiful, but it is actually too bitter!
Everyone knows Lao Zhu's personality, if it is really a good errand, is he willing to throw it to his righteous son!
Yunnan is full of toasts, there are not many Han people, and the climate is hot and humid, and between the mountains and forests, mosquitoes and miasma are everywhere...... If you are not careful, you will easily get sick and die.
Over the years, tens of thousands of soldiers have died in Yunnan, leaving their hometowns, and they are all mourning ghosts until they die!
The father and son of the Mu family, in addition to constantly quelling the rebellion, also had to settle the fields, build water conservancy, and emigrate from the mainland...... All in all, all year round, there is no idleness.
When Mu Ying heard that Zhu Biao was dead, he vomited blood and died, although it was a deep brotherhood, but it was also his exhaustion, and his body couldn't stand it for a long time.
Mu Chun doesn't have his father's prestige, so he can only work harder than his father.
From Hongwu twenty-five years inherited the position of Xiping Marquis, twenty-six years there were eleven villages joint rebellion, he personally went out to fight, just won, Yuezhou rebellion, send troops! After the Yuezhou fight, the Guangnan Tusi rebelled again...... Let's just put it this way, Mu Chun is like a spinning top, quelling rebellions everywhere, hardly resting.
It's good to go to Lancangwei this time, but after just one battle, I successfully returned. Mu Chun secretly rejoiced that what he was most afraid of was delaying and mistaking...... Yunnan's foundation is still too thin, and the military rations that the imperial court can give are too small, so they basically have to raise their own funds. While plowing the fields, fighting at the same time...... One word: bitter!
"That's the thing, the imperial court demoted Liu Chun, the young master of the crown prince and the commander of Jinyiwei, to Yunnan...... This, what do you think should be done? ”
Mu Chun glanced at his uncle and chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, he's also your nephew, right?" ”
Feng Cheng smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really a little embarrassed, I'm thinking, I should still live in peace, it's best to be safe!" ”
Mu Chun snorted, "Uncle, I want to be safe, but some people don't agree!" ”
Feng Cheng's heart moved, and he muttered: "Could it be ......"
Mu Chun didn't hide it from him, took out more than a dozen letters from his arms and threw them in front of Feng Cheng.
"Look, it's all letters instructing me to take care of Yoo Chun 'well'." Mu Chun sneered, "I really admire this one now, how can he have the ability to offend so many people?" I can't wait to see him right away. ”
Feng Cheng took the letter, and while looking at it, he muttered in his heart, you better not go to see it.
Tang Zhao has recognized the eldest brother, in case you can't bear it, then it's fun...... Feng Cheng looked at these letters, although they were not signed, but he also guessed some.
There are civil servants, nobles, wealthy merchants, and it seems that there are clans...... Oh my God!
Liu Chun, how old are you, how many years have you been an official? How do you have the ability to offend so many people?
Look at my uncle, I haven't offended any of them!
"That...... What are you going to do? ”
Mu Chun smiled bitterly, "What else can I do?" Yunnan is poor, hundreds of thousands of people, most of them can't marry a daughter-in-law, seeing that they will be old in ten or eight years, they are all old brothers who follow my father, I can't watch them grow old alone! These immortals in the court, just crooked their mouths, it's enough for me! There is no way, I can only grieve Liu Chun, he can bear it, even if his creation, he can't bear it, then I can't help it. ”
Mu Chun was very simple, and he didn't hesitate too much, how could a general who fought almost every day be willing to waste time!
Daddy Mu Ying left a testament, they guarded Yunnan, relying on the imperial court, now it is Your Majesty, and it will be the grandson in the future, no matter what, listen to them, it will not be wrong......
Feng Cheng secretly complained, he wanted to persuade Mu Chun to say a few words, but Mu Chun was too lazy to listen.
"Uncle, you can arrange for the brothers to go back and repair as soon as possible."
Feng Cheng had no choice but to nod yes, and they were heading towards Kunming.
Surprisingly, all the way to Kunming City, none of the rest of the civil and military came out to greet them.
What's going on?
Did they all rebel?
Mu Chun was furious and hurriedly asked someone to ask...... The result was good, it turned out that the generals in the city were all invited away by Tang Zhao, the general Qu Neng, the governor He Fu, and the commander Xu Kai, a total of dozens of them, were all invited away.
"Ridiculous! As generals, what are they going to do if they are not stationed in the city? ”
The subordinates had bitter faces, "Master Hou, I heard that they, they went to the class!" “
"Listening to a class?" Mu Chun was confused, he had a beard, and he was still learning to listen to the children, did he want to take the Jinshi exam? It's ridiculous!
"Whose class are you listening to? Who lectures them? ”
"It's the young master of the crown prince, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Chun, Lord Liu!" The entourage's tone was still a little excited, "Master Hou, Lord Liu's knowledge is very high!" Treat people well, and I want to hear about it! ”
"you!"
Mu Chun is angry, Liu Chun is now just a criminal official, and he has been demoted to Yunnan, you still dare to jump out to give a lecture, how capable are you?
It's especially hateful, these generals have taken the wrong medicine, you listen to moral articles, and the saints are also, how can they help you fight? It's ridiculous!
"Let's go, go now, I'm going to settle accounts with Liu Chun!"
Mu Chun snorted angrily and led people straight to Liu Chun's camp, Feng Cheng was frightened, and hurriedly followed, although he was not very useful, but he could persuade him anyway.
……
At the same time, Liu Chun was standing in the middle of a bunch of generals with a smile, including many small soldiers, who were listening intently on the periphery.
"It's not easy for everyone to leave their hometowns and fight for the country! Yunnan, a treasure land, wanted to be included in the territory when it was in the Tang Dynasty, and after several battles, it lost troops and fought very badly! We have the courage of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers have the courage, and they have pacified Yunnan in one go, and you are the one! ”
Liu Chun gave a thumbs up, "But an excellent general can't just fight, but also build!" Will develop! I know that many of you are miserable, you have no home to go back to, you are alone, and you have no one to care about you when you die. Maybe you will also ask yourself, is this life worth it? ”
"Brethren, I am not trying to break the morale of the army, much less to demoralize you...... Instead, I'm telling the big guys! We're rich! It's true! Yunnan is rich in resources, especially copper mines, which are the best in the Ming Dynasty. I tell you, the toast that you may seem to hate is actually the best labor. We can use economic means to stabilize Yunnan and develop Yunnan's ......."
"Some people may wonder, is your surname Liu talking nonsense? You can go and ask, what did I do in Daning? Let me tell you, when last year, Daning, Beiping, Liaodong, and the three places contributed more than 5 million yuan in commercial taxes! It's just a business tax! Yunnan has a vast land and can expand to all sides, which is not bad at all compared to the three towns of Beiping! If we work hard for five years, we can be like Daning! ”
"Think about it, big guy, how much can you get for so much tax? When the time comes, our brothers will return to their hometowns with thousands of dollars in their clothes, and when they arrive at their hometowns, they will sprinkle a lot of money for our fathers and fellow villagers to see! Going out on the expedition, it's not the poor and pitiful appearance they think, let's live well! Glory to the ancestors! When the time comes, the young men from your hometown will come with you, and the older girls will rush to marry the brothers. ”
……
Feng Cheng stood on the periphery, listening to Liu Chun's endless talk, the soldiers around him were fascinated, everyone's eyes were shining, they seemed to see the hometown fathers, beating gongs and drums, welcoming them.
Come home rich or famous!
These four words simply pierced the hearts of all of them!
As a martial artist, I can also be blessed to go back to the scenery for a trip, and it is worth dying in this life!
Feng Cheng grinned, "This, what is this?" ”
He looked at Mu Chun and said in his heart, don't be angry!
Mu Chun frowned, suddenly separated the crowd, rushed to Liu Chun's face, and snorted angrily: "Don't say it's useless, just tell me, what are you going to do?" ”
