Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Not to mention the princes who were enfeoffed later, Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di, etc., the first batch of princes who were enfeoffed, each of them had a large number of soldiers and horses. When they first became princes, they each had three guards, at least more than 20,000.

In recent years, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the northern border have been causing trouble from time to time, and Zhu Yuanzhang would occasionally take the initiative to launch a northern expedition, requiring these vassal kings to check and balance and protect him. The number of troops available to them has also increased, and their ability to mobilize troops from local garrisons has also increased.

The Ming Dynasty generally practiced military farming.

Under the Wei Suo system, the Wei Suo in the inland areas were responsible for eight parts of farming and two parts of defending the city; the Wei Suo in the border areas were responsible for seven parts of farming and three parts of defending the city.

Although there are many soldiers and horses in the Yingtian Prefecture area, it takes time to make all the troops ready for war under this system.

If something happens unexpectedly, and the people of Yingtian Prefecture are being used and instigated, the second and third brothers may not be able to do anything.

After all, there is one thing that is true.

This time, Zhu Yunhuan did, to a certain extent, disturb his most fundamental base - Yingtian Prefecture.

Before the cloth was sold out and the anthracite came out.

This is his weakness.

Therefore, on the one hand, Zhu Yunhuan had to be on guard, but on the other hand, he also wanted to seize this opportunity to see if he could make a counterattack and make up for the empty fishing rod he had lost three months ago.

So he had instructed Song Zhong early in the morning.

Use the secret line of the Jinyiwei obtained from Jiang Li to keep a close eye on the situation and report intelligence once a day.

After hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said, Song Zhong and Ma Sanbao naturally understood what Zhu Yunhuan meant. Song Zhong immediately clasped his fists and said, "I understand."

Ma Sanbao nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty." At the same time, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and thought to himself, "Indeed, Your Majesty has anticipated everything and prepared for everything. Why should I be worried here?"

Zhu Yunhuan didn't say much.

Instead, he tapped the dragon desk lightly with his fingertips, as if he was thinking about something.

Song Zhong and Ma Sanbao were about to leave to do their work when Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyes, looked at Ma Sanbao and added, "By the way, Sanbao, go and call Liu Sanwu, Zhan Hui, and Fu Youwen to me."

What Liu Sanwu, Zhan Hui, and Fu Youwen have done during this period.

He probably knows something about it.

Although they were of little use to him, or Zhu Yunhuan had already solved the problem at the source before he needed them, their intentions were worthy of recognition.

Let’s not talk about whether it will change in the future.

At least at this stage, they can be trusted for the time being.

And this time.

My cheap second uncle sneaked away to Shanxi, and the evidence of rebellion would definitely fall into his hands - in this case, reducing the power of the feudal lords became inevitable.

But reducing the power of the feudal lords is not just a matter of these two words, nor can everything be solved by just saying them casually.

In addition to dealing with King Qin Zhu Chong and King Jin Zhu Gang, there is also the issue of how to deal with the military forces in their hands and how to distribute the political power in their hands.

Xi'an and Shanxi... two such big places.

The follow-up questions are the key.

Xi'an is a strategically important place, and Shanxi is rich in mineral resources. It is certainly impossible for their descendants to inherit the title and continue to rule as vassal kings.

The best way to deal with this is to decentralize all military and political power to the local governments and distribute it to the provincial governors, provincial judges, and military commanders for control.

"Yes, I will go and convey the order to Mr. Liu, Lord Zhan, and Lord Fu." Ma Sanbao responded immediately. Of course, he didn't know what his master was thinking, but he knew that with his master's wisdom, he would naturally consider everything in the most comprehensive way. He just had to do his master's things well.
