Speaking of Mu Sheng, I have to say his father, the famous King Muying of Qianning.

Mu Ying was not only the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, but also the adopted son of Emperor Hongwu, who was adopted by Emperor Hongwu and Empress Ma at the age of eight due to the death of his parents in the war, and won the trust of Emperor Hongwu.

When Queen Ma had a medical history, Mu Ying was in great pain, grief to the point of vomiting blood, which shows the deep love between mother and son.

Although Emperor Hongwu killed many heroes from the dragon, he favored Mu Ying and treated him as a parent.

It can be seen that the relationship between the Mu family and the royal family is very delicate, so there are rumors among the people that Mu Ying is the illegitimate son of Emperor Hongwu.

Even after the death of Emperor Hongwu, the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty were also very kind to the Mu family.

In the early days of Yongle, the imperial court attached great importance to the etiquette of the civil and military ministers to the vassal king, and Ru Yu, the loyal uncle and the military secretary, passed through Changsha and did not go to pay homage to Zhu Lu, the king of the valley who was sealed in Changsha, and was arrested and imprisoned by the Jinyi guard sent by the Yongle Emperor and forced to commit suicide by taking medicine.

However, Mu Sheng dared to reprimand Zhu Yang, the king of Min, who was misbehaving in Yunnan, and Zhu Yang complained to Emperor Yongle immediately after entering Beijing, but Ming Chengzu did not blame Mu Sheng at all, and his favor to the Mu family can be seen.

After Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, he crowned Mu Sheng as the Taifu, and cast the seal letter of the general of Zhengnan for Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng inherited his father's and brother's foundation to guard Yunnan, with great achievements and a far-reaching reputation.

He not only crusaded against and quelled the rebellion in Luchuan, Yunnan, but also made great contributions to Zhang Fu when he pacified Jiaozhi, and he was an experienced general.

When Zhang Fu pacified Jiaozhi that year, Emperor Yongle sent a total of two military horses, of which the main attack was Zhang Fu, from Guangxi to Jiaozhi, and the auxiliary attack was Mu Sheng, from Yunnan to Jiaozhi.

The two sides marched forward along the way, and the Jiaozhi rebels lost their armor, and finally joined forces in Baihe, and combined forces to conquer the important town of Duobang, and captured the former king of Annam, Li Jichen, who was in rebellion, and then quelled the rebellion in Jiaozhi.

Afterwards, Zhang Fu was promoted to the Duke of England because of his military exploits in pacifying Jiaozhi, and Mu Sheng was also promoted to the Duke of Qianguo for his merits.

Emperor Xuande, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others never imagined that even Mu Sheng, whom they had high hopes for, would be defeated by the rebels.

Although Mu Sheng's military strength is not as good as Liu Sheng's, it should be enough to protect himself, who Cheng wanted to kill and wound more than 10,000 people after the battle, and fled quite wolfly.

At this moment, in the face of the situation in which Liu Sheng died in battle and Mu Sheng was defeated and fled, there were very few nobles in the DPRK who could lead the troops to the battle, and there were very few nobles whose strength was above Liu Sheng and Mu Sheng.

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a wry smile, and he didn't expect that Mu Sheng would also capsize in the gutter and be bitten hard by the rebels, which undoubtedly made the shape of Jiaozhi more complicated.

In addition to Mu Sheng's defeat, Wang Tong also brought another news, that is, Li Li claimed to have found the descendant of the Chen family, the king of Annam, named Chen Wei, Chen Wei had submitted a table to Emperor Xuande, asking Emperor Xuande to canonize him as the king of Annam.

Li Yuntian felt very ridiculous after reading it, the reason why Zhang Fu recruited Jiaozhi back then was because Li Jichen, the concubine of the king of Annan, secretly rebelled and slaughtered all the royal families surnamed Chen in Annan.

Li Jichen claimed that he was a descendant of Hu Gongman, a descendant of Emperor Yao Chonghua of Yu Shun, so he changed his name to Hu Yiyuan, made his son Hu Cang emperor, and made himself the emperor, and established the Dayu Empire in Annam.

In a subsequent recital to Emperor Yongle, Li Jichen said that all the Chen royal family had died in a rebellion launched by his subordinates, and that his son Hu Cang was the son of the princess of the king of Annam, and asked for him to become the king of Annam.

Because Annan is far away from the capital, and it is a vassal country, Emperor Yongle believed Li Jichen's words and canonized Hu Cang as the king of Annan.

Coincidentally, the people of the Chen royal family did not die, and there was a fish that slipped through the net, that is, Chen Tianping, the son of the king of Annam, but fled to the neighboring Nanzhang Kingdom, which is now Laos.

The Nanzhang Kingdom was one of the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, so Chen Tianping was sent to Nanjing.

Coincidentally, Li Jichen's envoys also arrived in Nanjing, these envoys were the former ministers of the Chen dynasty of Annan, and after seeing Chen Tianping, they hurriedly bowed down in shock, inadvertently confirming the identity of the prince of Annan, and also knew that Li Jichen killed the Chen royal family of Annan.

Emperor Yongle immediately asked Li Jichen about his rebellion, and Li Jichen hurriedly apologized and asked for permission to welcome Chen Tianping back to China and restore the throne.

In the third year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle sent the general Huang Zhong to lead an army of 5,000 people to escort Chen Tianping back to China.

The following year, Huang Zhong and his entourage entered the border of Annan, and the people who greeted them along the way were very deferential, which made Huang Zhong's vigilance greatly relaxed.

When Huang Zhong led his army to Qinzhan (the north bank of the Fuliang River), the mountain road was steep, the woods were lush, and it rained heavily.

Just as the accompanying Hu army was busy setting up a tent to shelter from the rain, suddenly there were ambushes in the surrounding forests, rushed into the guard, and killed Chen Tianping, and then quickly retreated south and crossed the Fuliang River.

Several envoys sent by Emperor Yongle to Annan were by Chen Tianping's side, and they were also killed by those ambushes in the attack.

Huang Zhong was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly mobilized troops to counterattack, but the bridge on the Fuliang River had been cut off, and the ambush soldiers bowed on the south bank, indicating that he had no intention of angering the Ming Dynasty, but Chen Tianping was just a fake prince of Annan, so he got rid of it, and Annan was poor and could not entertain the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, so Huang Zhong was invited to go back, and the new king of Annan, Hu Cang, would ask Emperor Yongle for guilt. ”

Emperor Yongle was furious at the provocation of Li Jichen's father and son, so Zhang Fu pacified Annan and arrested Li Jichen's father and son.

Li Jichen and his son were released after being imprisoned in a prison in Nanjing for a period of time, and were sent by Emperor Yongle to Guangxi for the people.

Because the Chen family of Annan had no heirs, Emperor Yongle included Annan into the territory of the Ming Dynasty and set up the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, which governed 15 prefectures, 41 prefectures, and 210 counties.

The descendants of the Chen family died twenty years ago, and now Li Li suddenly found this Chen Wei is undoubtedly fake, he not only gave the two sides an excuse for peace, but also logically gave Emperor Xuande a step, so that Jiaozhi broke away from the Ming Dynasty and returned to the subject country of the Ming Dynasty.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, Li Li's desire to negotiate peace was extremely urgent, first he asked Emperor Xuande to surrender to the table, and then he felt that it was inappropriate, and he didn't know where to find a fake Chen Hui, the prince of the Chen family of Annan, which could be described as painstaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this?" After everyone at the scene finished reading Wang Tong's urgent report, Emperor Xuande asked with a depressed expression.

As a young king who followed Emperor Yongle to gallop across the field, Xuande naturally hoped that he could open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, at least to keep the country left by his ancestors, so he was unwilling to give up Jiaozhi.

Unlike Emperor Yongle, Emperor Xuande was influenced by Emperor Hongxi and set the national policy as recuperation, so he had to give up the rebellion of Jiaozhi with labor and mobilization.

Originally, Emperor Xuande was inclined to quell the rebellion again, after all, how could the ancestors abandon it lightly?

But now not only Liu Sheng, but even Mu Sheng has been defeated by the rebels, which can't help but make Emperor Xuande re-examine the war in Jiaozhi, whether to use the strength of the whole country to quell the rebellion for the sake of Jiaozhi, which is known as the land of barbarians.

Therefore, he sighed helplessly after reading Wang Tong's urgent report just now, the development of the Jiaozhi war had far exceeded his expectations, making it difficult for him to control it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been to Jiaozhi, the Chen clan of Annan has long been dead, this Chen Wei must be a fake, and it is Li Li's trick."

Zhang Fu was the first to speak when he heard this, and said to Emperor Xuande in a deep voice, "Jiaozhi was bought by countless soldiers with blood and sweat, and it must not be given to the rebels just like this."

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to Jiaozhi to destroy those traitors!" As he spoke, Zhang Fu arched his hand at Emperor Xuande, and asked Emperor Xuande for war with a stern expression.

"Dare to ask how many troops the Taishi needs to bring to Jiaozhi, and when will the rebellion in Jiaozhi be quelled?" Yang Shiqi's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Fu quietly.

"Your Majesty, as long as you have 50,000 Beijing troops, you will definitely come to the emperor within a year." Zhang Fu didn't think about it, and said loudly to Emperor Xuande, looking full of confidence.

"Taishi, the reason why Cheng Shanbo and An Yuanhou were defeated is not accidental according to this official, the rebels are now full-fledged, their morale is flourishing, and they have won the hearts of the local people, and it is undoubtedly difficult to quell the rebellion again."

Yang Shiqi pondered for a while, and said to Zhang Fu with concern, "Our army has failed to counterbalance the rebellion twice, and the Taishi is the mainstay of our army, if there is any mistake, the consequences are unpredictable. ”

"Lord Xia, how long will it take for the household department to prepare 50,000 troops to go to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion for a year?" Yang Rong saw Zhang Fu's proud expression, and then asked Xia Yuanji quietly.

"The property in the treasury can be used as military money first, and then taxes can be collected from rich places such as the Central Plains and Jiangnan to supplement the needs of the national treasury." Xia Yuanji thought about it and gave an answer, he was not willing to give up Jiaozhi.

"If the war cannot be ended within a year, how will the military be solved?" Yang Rong nodded when he heard this, Xia Yuanji first embezzled the treasury property as a counterinsurgency military need, and then collected taxes from the Central Plains and Jiangnan It was indeed a workaround, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Keep taxing." Xia Yuanji hesitated for a moment and replied helplessly, he actually knew that this was not a long-term solution.

The Ming Dynasty has a wide area, and there are many places where money is needed, not only the Jiaozhi war, although the annual profit of the Ming Dynasty will increase in recent years, but the various expenditures are also increasing, so if you want to continue to maintain the cost of the Jiaozhi war, the only way to continue to tax the people.

Of course, with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, the people can afford the military supplies to quell the rebellion, but life will definitely be harder.

Moreover, the local officials who collected taxes would certainly not let go of this opportunity to make a profit, and the actual taxes and fees collected would certainly be much higher than the amount paid to the national treasury.

In this way, it ran counter to the national policy of resting with the people implemented by Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande, which made the efforts of Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande for several years go to waste.

Hearing this, Zhang Fu couldn't help but be silent, although he was confident that the rebellion in Jiaozhi would be quelled, but with the current strength of the rebels and the local shape of Jiaozhi, it would definitely not be possible to exterminate the rebels in a short period of time, and it was likely to last for two or three years.

Emperor Xuande is the emperor of the people of the world, not just the emperor of the people of Jiaozhi, if it is because of the matter of Jiaozhi that Emperor Xuande's national policy for the Ming Dynasty is damaged, and it affects the peace and security of other regions of the Ming Dynasty, then the gains undoubtedly outweigh the losses.

After all, Jiaozhi was not only a barbarian land, but also a vassal state that was later incorporated into the territory of the Daming Dynasty, and the Minister of Chinese and Wu of the DPRK would definitely not attach the same importance to it as the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

After combining these circumstances, it is obvious that giving up Jiaozhi is better than continuing to work for Jiaozhi and lose money, which will affect the good fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhang Fu is the head of the nobles, he is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, not a reckless martial artist, after weighing the stakes, he naturally has to think about the people of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time maintain the national policy formulated by Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande.!^!
