The construction of Ming Dynasty military bases overseas has been planned for a long time.
Zhang Qianfang was just giving a memorial as a matter of routine, letting the people of Beida know that he had agreed to their request.
And this memorial also has another meaning, which is to tell the emperor that he is ready, so Lu Qin and Yang Guanggao should also start taking action.
Yang Guanggao was the southern general, and Guangxi was under his jurisdiction.
After the King of Nanyue handed over the Gaoping area to the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty assigned this area to Guangxi, so now Guangxi and Nanzhang are adjacent.
Lu Qin is the Southwest General and governs the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.
Yunnan is also adjacent to Nanzhang and Toungoo.
If we want to solve the problems in Southeast Asia, the three most important countries now are: Nanzhang, Toungoo and Siam.
The Ming Dynasty prepared to attack from both directions by sea and land, and the land operations were handed over to the troops of Lu Qin and Yang Guanggao.
When Lu Qin came to the southwest, he first established the General's Palace in Chengdu.
With the help of Qin Liangyu and Wang Sanshan, the governor of Sichuan, Lu Qin recruited a large number of chieftain soldiers, the most numerous of which were Shi Ding's white pole soldiers.
In addition to the original white-poled spears, each of the white-poled soldiers was equipped with a short knife.
This was a special steel knife made by the Ordnance Bureau.
Its sharpness was far inferior to that of ordinary long knives.
Lu Qin handed over a total of 12,000 chieftains to the command of the hussar general Ma Xianglin, and paid them military pay according to the standards of the Guards.
With Qin Liangyu in Sichuan, the chieftains in Sichuan are very quiet.
Zhu Youxiao does not want to carry out drastic reform of Tuguiliu.
He only strengthens education in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, and builds some primary schools in the more densely populated chieftain tribes. , attracting some local children with free meals, and the effect is pretty good.
Of course, this is a slow process.
If you want to basically Chineseize these places, Zhu Youxiao estimates that it will take at least several decades to see some effects.
Lu Qin only stayed in Chengdu for about half a year, and then came to Yunnan with 10,000 guards and 12,000 chieftains.
First he paid a visit to the Duke of Guizhou and Mu Tianbo, the chief military officer of Yunnan.
Mu Tianbo was only in his teens at this time, so the governor of Yunnan could only take care of general military affairs, while his mother, Mrs.
Chen, and the housekeeper Ruan brothers were in charge of the affairs of the palace.
However, Lu Qin did not dare to neglect him and paid him a courtesy visit.
Then he discussed with Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, about setting up the Southwest General's Mansion in Yunnan.
When Wu Zhaoyuan heard that he was going to move the general's palace in Chengdu to Pu'er, he was naturally overjoyed and said: "The general is willing to stay in Yunnan permanently, which can intimidate the chieftains and ensure the peace of Yunnan."
Lu Qin said: "Is there any chieftain who is restless?"
Wu Zhaoyuan said: "Wu Bikui, the chieftain of Wuding, and Sha Dingzhou, the chieftain of Mengzi, saw that Duke Mu was young and usually a little arrogant, but he was not restless."
Lu Qin smiled and said: "That's just right.
I want to establish my authority in Yunnan first.
The governor, please find me a target."
Wu Zhaoyuan was shocked and said: "Why did General Lu do this?
They are just a little arrogant, and the crime is not fatal."
Lu Qin smiled and said: "Our army will attack Nanzhang and Taungu.
We must first have a stable rear.
This is why I am here.
Only blood can suppress their rebellious ambitions."
Wu Zhaoyuan said: "General Lu, I'm sorry for this.
The chieftains are just bullying Mr.
Mu because he is young.
Why do they want to kill people to establish their authority?
Unless you come up with the imperial edict, I will not let you kill people here randomly." " Lu Qin said helplessly: "Why bother?
They are just toasts.
If there are signs of instability, it would be better to nip them in the cradle to avoid more troubles.

Governor, since you are not willing, then you have to give it to me in the rear.
Take a good look."
Wu Zhaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He naturally knew Lu Qin.
He was a good fighter, but he was too murderous.
Fortunately, I had just taken a gamble and believed that the emperor would not let him come here to kill people.
Otherwise, if those chieftains were really killed, it might have some effect at the time, but the relationship between the Han people and the locals would probably be even worse in the future.
The chieftains would probably hate and be afraid of the imperial court, but there was no guarantee that they would not really attack.
He said: "Please don't worry, General Lu.
I will definitely keep an eye on the rear of the Guards.
It's just a matter of food and grass for the army.
I'm afraid Pu'er cannot guarantee the supply."
Lu Qin said: "There is no problem with this.
Guangxi and Nanyue will have a good harvest this year, and military rations will be transported by water.
There will be a total of 25,000 people's food, so there is still excess that can be supplied to Yunnan."
When Wu Zhaoyuan heard that Yunnan would not need to provide food, he felt completely at ease.
He smiled and said: "Yunnan can be self-sufficient in food.
If General Lu only has food for a few thousand people, we can supply it.
If there is more, we can't do anything."
Lu Qin said: "I also need to trouble the governor to provide me with two thousand local soldiers.
The closer to Nanzhang and Taungoo, the better.
Our white-pole soldiers are not bad.
After all, the Guards are not well adapted to the local climate and environment.
We need these People can be our guides and teach us some things to pay attention to.”
Ma Xianglin said: "Yunnan and Sichuan have very different scenery, and the customs of the two places are also somewhat different, so we white-pole soldiers still have a lot to learn from the local soldiers."
Wu Zhaoyuan thought for a while and said: "Shiping Chieftain Long is in the field.
He likes to contact the Han people.
He usually studies Han people's books and farming methods.
Moreover, he is brave in fighting.
He should be General Lu's best helper.
I think he should also be very willing.
Serving under General Lu."
Lu Qin smiled and said: "It's amazing.
The chieftain can actually read.
He is much better than us old men.
Then you send someone to ask him to see if he is willing to help us adapt to Yunnan.
Tell him that we are responsible for distributing military rations to them. , but there will be no military pay.
After the war, the captured soldiers will be distributed according to their heads and merits. " Wu Zhaoyuan said in surprise: "Is it okay to also give them the captured items?
All the captured items of the Guards should be returned to the public.
Instead, we should give them the captured items.
In fact, they don't have military pay on weekdays.
It's good if they can have enough to eat."
Lu Qin smiled and said: "It is impossible to want the horse to run and not eat grass at the same time.
Without the attraction of interests, such a combination is not strong.
Even if they are forced by our force, they will only be afraid , and will not sincerely help us.

In the words of you scholars, it should be to induce us to gain benefits.
Yes, this is the word that the emperor has emphasized many times
.
"
Wu Zhaoyuan sighed: "The emperor has really learned the teachings of saints thoroughly.
He is not like those rotten scholars who only know how to talk big words and argue about etiquette.
If they really want to get things done, they will not stand up for anything."
Lu Qin said: "It's much better now.
After the emperor drove away some people who knew nothing about it, those officials all understood who the emperor liked and who he didn't like.
In fact, you scholars know it very well.
I once heard Scholar Lu say that when the court is discussing matters, the officials no longer talk about that, but use words that we rough people can understand, just because the emperor likes it
