The civil and military officials present, who had experienced great chaos in the world, deeply agreed with the words of Emperor Chongzhen.
For most of them, they actually didn't consider the Tusi as one of them. Almost since the Wanli period, Japan invaded, Tusi in various places rebelled, and of course there were invasions by Mongolian tribes, and even remote barbarians like Dongwu wanted to get involved. This kind of thing was impossible when the Ming Dynasty was strong!
Now Emperor Chongzhen reiterated that when the Ming Dynasty was strong, the barbarians would be defeated so that they would never dare to have such thoughts again. Not only the military generals, but also the civil officials agreed.
At least they could still remember clearly how arrogant King Helong was in front of the battlefield, challenging the current emperor and showing off his power.
Emperor Chongzhen then announced that Fan Jingwen would guard Yunnan and preside over the transformation of the original native tribes into Han Chinese, while Du Yinxi would reorganize the newly surrendered troops and, together with the original troops of the court, a total of 300,000 troops would attack Dongwu and destroy the Toungoo Dynasty after the new year.
