Chapter 527 Longzan Aqi
The leader here is Longzan Aqi, and the rest of the chieftains are also looking forward to it. You must know that they were all enemies in the first place, and they don't know how they communicated along the way, but at least they are acting now. is a whole.
To be honest, Zhu Biao didn't want to see this situation too much, so many operations would be restricted. Once the persecution was too much, if Guizhou united with the King of Liang in Yunnan and the remnants of the Xia Kingdom in Bashu to fight against the Ming Dynasty, then it would be another There is excitement.
It is not a joke to raise troops in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. To a certain extent, it is even more dangerous than the invasion of the North Wara Tatars. The south is the hinterland of Ming Dynasty's current grain tax, and there is no room for any twists and turns.
"The ministers are willing to lead the land to surrender, but when will they be able to visit the Holy One?"
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said: "A few leaders, do you know about the dispute that happened yesterday morning?"
As soon as this remark came out, one or two people wanted to speak, but they were all held back by the people around them. They just raised their heads and stared at Zhu Biao with rather stubborn eyes, as if trying to scare him.
How could Zhu Biao be afraid? This is the palace, as long as he thinks, he can decide how these people die according to his will.
Zhu Biao's gaze did not avoid the flickering, and met their gaze straightly, as if he was staring at all of them, and it seemed that he could not see any of them...
Standing beside Longzan Ah Qi, the leader of Shuidong, Song Mengmeng, suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped those people's faces. Several loud slaps echoed in the hall, followed by several dull knee slaps. There was a sound of hitting the ground.
"The ministers and other barbarians, please forgive me if you don't understand the etiquette of the Central Plains!"
Zhu Biao waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: "It's okay, is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's ministers on the shore of the land, and when you return to face the saints and accept the officials, I will send you some classics and history books."
Long Zan Ah Qi respectfully kowtowed and thanked, and then began to answer Zhu Biao's question: "I have heard about it, but I am grateful for the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. I will definitely abide by the way of being a minister and do my duty for the Ming Dynasty!"
After Long Zan Ah Qi's polite words, Shi'er, the quiet female manager of Puding, suddenly said, "His Royal Highness, why did we take the initiative to lead the land to join us, and there are Ming officials who want to kill us? Your Highness, please clarify. "
The status of women in Guizhou is quite high, and they can also inherit the status of clan leaders. This Shi'er is a typical representative. After listening to her words, Longzan Aqi remained motionless, and Song Mengmeng, who had just taught others a lesson, stopped dissuading her.
It seems that no matter where people know the truth about one being a good face and the other being a bad face, and they also specially arranged for a woman named Shier to be a bad face.
Zhu Biao slowly restrained his smile and said: "It's a little late. Since the first year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty has been sending envoys to various ministries. I believe that none of your family has been pulled down, but the result is that you have repeatedly refused. , and even several envoys died in the mountains and forests of Guizhou."
Shier's appearance is by no means beautiful, with scars all over her face and rough and dull skin, but her demeanor is extremely resolute, obviously she doesn't care about her appearance.
"It's a matter of great importance, and it is true that we have hesitated, but what is the crime of death?"
Long Zan Ah Qi also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, we have absolutely nothing to do with the envoy's death. We have always respected the envoy of Ming Dynasty from the beginning to the end, and the tribes in the mountain forest village in Guizhou who do not submit to our control are not in the slightest. No, it must be them..."
No one would be so stupid as to commit the crime of murdering the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, those envoys were indeed attacked and killed by the small tribes of Hei Cuan or Luo Luo Bai Cuan who formed a stronghold to protect themselves. As for whether they were driven by Yili behind their backs Yes, who knows?
Zhu Biao picked up his teacup, shook his head, and sipped it gently. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Wu Bozong and Li Qi, who stood silently beside him, stood up and talked with the chieftains. Their words were no longer the gentle and elegant ones they used to accompany them these days, but aggressive. .
Although the emperor has not yet reached the point where the emperor has the golden words of Tianxian, he is not free to express his position, especially when it comes to issues involving such local forces. It is not good to shout and kill, but it is not good to be too gentle to appear weak.
The conversation lasted for nearly two hours, and at the end several officials from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion also joined in the fun, making Guizhou chieftains excited, but in the end they were all calmed down by Zhu Biao.
This conversation actually didn’t say anything about the real division of power. The main thing is to look at the attitude. It’s like boiling an eagle. No one knows the result until the end.
Da Ming hopes that Guizhou will be pacified as soon as possible. It is not a verbal offering of land, but a real cooperation with Daming to send officials to gradually establish the minimum order controlled by the local government.
The chieftains are naturally unwilling. What they want more is that the chieftains will submit in name, accept the appointment of the court, and pay taxes every year, just like the Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Xia period. s right.
This is the point of conflict between the two sides. Neither of them is willing to give in easily. The reason why the two sides are willing to talk now is restraint. The chieftains know that Da Ming has the strength to suppress them, and Da Ming also knows that these chieftains still know how to fear and communicate, and they are entrenched in Yunnan and Guizhou. All the ethnic groups in the land are really aliens who do not obey the discipline and restraint.
At least for now, it seems that the chieftains are still very sincere. Of course, it may be due to the situation. Zhu Biao likes people who know how to weigh the pros and cons and are afraid, and what he hates the most are people who have no scruples.
People who don’t have a sense of awe may not be able to accomplish things, but they can definitely do bad things. Now the chieftains are willing to talk and bow their heads. This is very good, and at least it can save tens of thousands of deaths and injuries.
Zhu Biao is never afraid of others flipping the table, but that means trouble, not only is it troublesome to deal with people who break the rules, but also the impact of dealing with this matter is even more troublesome.
Zhu Biao looked at Li Qi who stayed behind and asked: "You have been following this group of people for a few days. Who do you think I, Daming, should support?"
Li Qi thought about it carefully and replied: "There are a lot of chieftains in Guizhou who are mixed with fish and dragons. I think we should support Longzan Aqi, and we should spare no effort to support him!"
Zhu Biao looked at Li Qi, who had lost a lot of weight, with great interest: "I see that Longzan Aqi is already the top chieftain in Guizhou. If I, Daming, support me vigorously, you won't be afraid of raising tigers. A Guizhou king is coming?"
"My minister thinks that all the tribes in Guizhou now elect Longzan Aqi as the leader, but they are afraid of communicating with the imperial court and afraid of being killed. I'm afraid it won't have much effect on the lawless aliens, so it's better to lure them to divide and rule."
"Although the various tribes seem to be a whole at present, according to my understanding and recent observations, they are actually full of internal conflicts, but they are temporarily suppressed because of fear of Ming Dynasty. After all, they are all trapped in a state where they are doing their own things. It's all about power, how can short-sightedness be a long-term plan..."
Zhu Biao quietly listened to Li Qi's high-spirited speech below, showing no sign of satisfaction or dissatisfaction, but feeling that Li Qi had grown a bit from going out.
However, he is still a little immature. At least at present, it seems that he does not have the talent of his father Li Shanchang, which makes Zhu Biao a little disappointed. Is it just the talent of a middleman?
The tiger father and the dog son really make people sigh, not only Li Shanchang Chang Yuchun, but too many honorable children let Zhu Biao down, fortunately there is Xu Yungong who can comfort him a little.
