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

Chapter 1380

"Your Majesty wants my men to be stationed near the Alchemy Bureau to provide support. Although the Alchemy Bureau has the Divine Machine Battalion, so they are not afraid of these rebels who have been stripped of their armor and weapons causing trouble, Your Majesty's cautious nature has led to this extra layer of protection."

Ru Chang was the Minister of War, so how could he not understand Zhu Yunwen's meaning?

After a moment's thought, he immediately understood.

His gaze sharpened, and he cupped his hands in response, saying, "Yes! Your Majesty, please rest assured! I know this matter is of great importance, and I will certainly arrange it properly!"

Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's arrangement...

Lan Yu and other marquises and military officers of Huaixi, along with their numerous soldiers, all breathed a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, it's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death. To have committed such a capital crime of treason and still be spared was a cause for great joy.

"Your Majesty, I am a sinful subject, Lan Yu... I thank Your Majesty for sparing my life! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" Lan Yu shouted his thanks first. Given the huge reversal and disparity, whether they could accept it or not, they had to put on a show of respect.

The other dukes, marquises, and military officers also exchanged ecstatic glances.

They followed suit, saying, "This guilty subject... thanks Your Majesty for sparing my life! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

at the same time.

Their individual thoughts also began to stir again:

"Good! Lan Yu's gamble paid off!"

"As long as I can keep my life for now, the worst that can happen is that I'll be a manual laborer. But if the right opportunity comes along... I might just have a chance!"

"That little emperor is really cunning. He probably anticipated that we might cause trouble, so he arranged for troops to be stationed near the Alchemy Bureau for defense."

"But for now, we can only take it one step at a time. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback!"

"..."

Thinking of all this, they couldn't help but secretly glance at Bichu, exchanging sly looks of relief at having survived a disaster.

Even if they weren't dukes or nobles, they were all generals in the army—having tasted the pinnacle of power. Even if they were now crushed by the "Divine Machine Battalion," how could they be willing to accept it anytime soon?

At this point, they were clearly thinking the same thing.

the other side.

After arranging this matter.

Zhu Yunwen remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering something carefully, before turning to Ma Sanbao beside him and saying, "Sanbao, I have other arrangements for dealing with the entire families and clans of these rebels. You should send a message to the Embroidered Uniform Guard and have Song Zhong handle this matter. He is always reliable when he is out in the field."

Although Zhao Feng is often by his side now, Zhao Feng is in charge of matters inside and outside Yingtian Prefecture. As for the tasks and actions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard outside, they are still arranged to be coordinated and managed by Song Zhong, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Ma Sanbao nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, please give your orders."

Zhu Yunwen calmly instructed, "Have Song Zhong set aside a special area in the place of exile to house these people, and arrange for extra guards to watch over them."

This arrangement.

Firstly, it was a third layer of restraint on these rebellious nobles and soldiers. After all, these people were all reckless and quite capable. Zhu Yunwen would not feel at ease if he did not put an extra layer of shackles on them. The key to a good strategy is quality, not quantity. The technique of binding nine generations of relatives has always been the most effective.

Secondly, when the time is right, we can expel these people from overseas and make them work as laborers in other places. With this kind of constraint, we are not afraid that they will get out of control.

Even if someone were to be so ruthless as to abandon everything, such people would ultimately be a minority and wouldn't cause any real trouble.

To put it bluntly...

Zhu Yunwen wanted these people to be his dogs from now on, to be obedient and well-behaved, and to bite wherever he pointed!

A vicious dog should, of course, be chained with the thickest iron chain.

This is much more interesting than the endless slaughter of people and the extermination of entire families...
