"Okay, it's because my brother-in-law is hungry, okay?" Hao Guangming said with a smile and started serving the dishes.

Three people, four dishes and one soup, and the staple food was bought steamed buns, including white flour, corn flour, and chive rolls.

Zhu Ma Shinse served a bowl of soup for three people in advance.

Although Zhu Ma can do very little things, she still tries her best, as if she wants to use this to fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and a sister.

Hao Guangming didn't care about this.

After all, strictly counting it, he is now entrusted with Zhu Mai, or rather, he relies on Zhu Mai to pay his "wage". It's okay to stay in the old house most of the day, so it's time to cook. Besides, Zhu Mai and Zhu Mai are two.

He doesn't have much food.

After sitting down, Hao Guangming had no habit of not talking about food and sleeping. After drinking the soup, he asked, "What are you going to make arrangements for the New Year tomorrow?"

Zhu Mai said, "I'm having the New Year's Eve dinner with Ci Jiong and Ci Xu over there, and then I'll start a video with you, so let's go together to reunite."

Hao Guangming nodded and said, "Don't forget to arrange a video of Hongniang and Li Yan tomorrow."

"Well, I have already made an appointment with Hongniang and Li Yan."

Originally, Zhu Ma asked Li Yan to lead the remaining team of the former Jianguo Mansion to Nanjing after the Northern Expedition. However, because Sichuan still had a lot of things to deal with after the war, there were a lot of more things happening in the near future. Li

The rock slowly dragged it to the present.

So he can only come to Nanjing to reunite with Hongniang after the New Year.

Hao Guangming said again: "Speaking of this, according to the historical records here, Shadingzhou in Yunnan has been rebelled for nearly a month, right? Haven't you received relevant war reports yet?"

"No." Zhu Mai shook her head, "Even if Mu Tianbo asked for help from the nearest Guizhou Zhan Tianyan, it would take more than ten days to send someone to the road. If he delayed it for another matter, it would be normal for more than one month.

Besides, he didn't know that Zhan Tianyan could contact Nanjing's radio station, and would probably send someone to Sichuan for help. In that case, it would take about a month for the messenger to arrive in Chengdu."

Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are both steep mountain roads, unlike the north where fast horses can be used to transmit information, so the information is transmitted more slowly.

The reason why Zhu Mai did not make arrangements in Yunnan in advance and even informed Mu Tianbo about the possible rebellion in Shadingzhou was that he wanted to use the Shadingzhou rebellion to reduce the Mu family's influence in Yunnan.

As for the war in Yunnan that caused this - even without the Shadingzhou Rebellion, under the control of the Mu family, the chieftains in Yunnan rebelled twice in three days.

This is certainly related to the decline in prestige of the Ming Dynasty and its deterrence against chieftains has dropped significantly, but it is also related to the improper governance of the Mu family.

For example, the rebellion in Shadingzhou was because of Wu Bikui, the chieftain of Wuding, rebellion. When he rebelled, he declared: Emperor Zhu is gone, where is there any Duke Mu?

Later, in order to pacify Wu Bikui, Mu Tianbo hurriedly called on chieftains from all over the country to "respond to the king", which gave Shadingzhou the opportunity to occupy Kunming.

The root of the rebellion in Shadingzhou is related to the She'an Rebellion in that year... The reasons are complicated and can be described as a mess.

Hao Guangming and Zhu Mai Shin also discussed whether Zhu Mai Shin's rise would prevent the Shapu Rebellion from happening again.

The results of the discussion are unlikely.

Because the occurrence of the Shapu Rebellion is not only accidental, but also inevitable. It may happen later, or the scale may not be as large as in history, but it will definitely happen.

Because of its earliest cause, the "She'an Rebellion" has already happened.

During the She'an Rebellion, the famous and powerful Amizhou Tusi Pu increased greatly. As a result, his wife Wan remarried Wang Nong Tusi Shadingzhou, causing Wang Nong and Amizhou to combine two into one, Shadingzhou As a result, the power increased greatly.

Once its power grows, it will inevitably breed ambitions and lead to rebellion.

What's more, Yunnan is a place where the emperor is far away from the mountains. Shadingzhou and others may not be able to hear many rumors about Zhu Mai, and most of them will not believe it if they hear it. After all, Zhu Mai's affairs are too bizarre, and people in the Central Plains believe it, let alone Those Yunnan chieftains.

but--

"What I am worried about now is that Shadingzhou will merge with Sun Kewang's forces who exist in Guangxi, causing the rebels to grow stronger and deteriorate the southwest." Zhu Meiyu stopped chopsticks and said.

"Didn't you make arrangements before? Previously, after Chen Youlong left office as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Hongguang court arranged for Ding Kuichu to take over.

This man is not only a corruption man, but also has poor ability and has no loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Previously, you have changed him to the governor of Guangdong, so that he cannot restrain the governor of Guangxi Qu Shisi.

Facts have proved that although Qu Shixi was relatively average, there were many elite soldiers in Guangxi. He combined the strength of the province and helped Zhan Tianyan in Guizhou. After all, he trapped Sun Kewang's bandits in Qingyuan Prefecture and Sicheng Prefecture in northwest Guangxi.

It’s just that there are many mountains and forests over there, and there are chieftains and Sun Kewang that it’s hard to wipe out them for a while.”

Zhu Meisu's arrangement was an order issued shortly after she ascended the throne.

The reason why Ding Kuichu was not directly demoted to the people was because Zhu Mai didn't want to be so cheap. She had asked the Nanzhen Fushi to send the Jinyiwei team to Guangdong to investigate Ding Kuichu's various crimes. She just waited for the confirmation to be quasied. .

In addition, Zhu Mai has another deep meaning.

That is, I hope that Ding Kuichu would have some connection with local gentry and landlords in Guangdong during his reign in Guangdong. Then when Ding Kuichu was established, she would be able to pick up a group of gentry and landlords in Guangdong.

Even Hao Guangming did not expect her to have such a slight thought.

After hearing Hao Guangming's words and thinking about the situation in the southwest, Zhu Ma said: "You have said that Sun Kewang is trapped in the northwest of Guangxi, and is only two chieftains and Qujing, and Guangnan prefectures."

Speaking of which, the name of Yunnan Prefecture during the Ming Dynasty was very strange, and many of them overlapped with other place names, such as Yunnan Prefecture, Guangxi Prefecture, Lin'an Prefecture, etc.

Zhu Maxiu then intentionally changed the administrative divisions in Yunnan, but it had to be done after the court truly took control of Yunnan.

At present, Zhu Ma’s focus is on cultivating internal affairs, followed by completely destroying the Qing emperors, and then solving the problems in the northwest and southwest borders.

It can be said that even now, there are huge border problems in the northwest, southwest, northeast and north of the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for the Zheng family's support in the Southeast, it would be uneasy.

Therefore, Zhu Mai wanted to make the Ming Dynasty truly peaceful and prevent the war from happening inside, and still had a long way to go.

Hao Guangming pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are worried about the situation in the southwest, you can consider transferring Li Dingguo over. After all, the Shapu Rebellion in history was pacified by Li Dingguo and others."

"Yeah." Zhu Meiyu nodded, "I'm just thinking."

After driving the Qing emperors out of the pass, Li Dingguo was mainly responsible for guarding the two prefectures of Datong and Taiyuan in Shanxi, supporting Du Yinxi in Northern Zhili and Lu Daqi in Shaanxi and Gansu to defend against the Northern Lu.

However, the Mongolian tribes on the grassland, whether they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty or did not surrender, now the threat to the Ming Dynasty is greatly reduced.

Therefore, if you just guard against the Northern Barbarians, there is no need for a good general like Li Dingguo. Leaving two border guards is enough to fight the invading Northern Barbarians crying and calling for their mother.

Hao Guangming said again: "If one Li Dingguo is not enough, Yang Zhan and Cao Xun can also be transferred. After all, they are from Sichuan and they must be more familiar with the way of fighting in the southwest than Li Dingguo.

No matter how good Li Dingguo is, it will take time to grow. He has never been to the southwest before, so don’t be worried about falling there.”

Zhu Moe nodded, thinking about how to arrange it, and her meals were slow.

At this time, Zhu Mei, who had been eating for a while, suddenly stood by the window and shouted, "Sister, brother-in-law, it's snowing!"

Hao Guangming and Zhu Mai went to the window together to look and found that it was really snowing and not small.

This is the first snowfall on Hao Guangming's side this year.

Zhu Mai looked at the snow outside the window and said, "It has fallen more than one snow in Nanjing, and the Yangtze River has frozen. Although it is not very thick, it also requires a special boat to break the ice every day.

It is said that the snow in the north is stronger and the weather is better. Although I have announced the method of using coal on your side to the world, I don’t know how many people in the north can freeze to death.”

When Hao Guangming saw it, he knew that Zhu Ma was very worried about the common people in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

She once made a great wish to prevent the people of the Ming Dynasty from starving and cold, but now she is still far from realizing this wish.

Hao Guangming had no good idea, so he could only comfort him: "Don't worry too much. Now the governors of the northern provinces you have chosen are barely considered capable ministers, and the prefects and magistrates below are mostly available people.

Not only do they use coal on our side, but also provide southern material support, so the people will not feel sadder than in previous years."

Zhu Mo looked at the snow outside the window, without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
