Chapter 363: The Smoke of Gunpowder Rises
It is a risk for the Yushitai dog to jump over the wall in a hurry and fabricate the flow of people to rebel to gain self-respect; Chen Ruzhi wanted to take advantage of the situation and burn up this group of bastards in one fell swoop, which was a risk; Wu Miao and Yun Xuan wanted to take advantage of the fire and use the power of the imperial court to challenge the class system that had remained unchanged in the southwest for thousands of years, wouldn't it be a risk?
Who said that we don't have the spirit of adventure, our officialdom is a paradise for a group of adventurers.
Hong Seyan looked at the beauty on the silk for a long time, and wrote a poem for her: "The single braid is red and the hair is full of clouds and brocade." The tassels peep at the red face, and the sideburns secretly move the bangs. Tight-sleeved white shirt Erhai mercy, crimson collar gown Cangshan around the ......"
After the poem, Hong Seyan stroked his beard comfortably and smiled intoxicatedly.
……
A crisp and rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded on the mountain path, and the native soldiers on the lookout picked up their bows and arrows and looked alarmingly into the distance.
The four corners of the stockade are built with high lookouts, and the view is wide, and you can see the movement in all directions. From the high lookout, there was a brown horse galloping along the mountain path like an arrow, and the man on the horse shook the whip in the air, and then whipped it on the horse's thighs, very rhythmically, and as the whip was drawn, the horse was faster.
"It's the second steward!"
A sharp-eyed native soldier was the first to shout: "Open the gate of the village, it's the second steward who has returned." ”
The wooden gate of the upper half of the fence with the tip of a spear was opened, and the middle-aged man on the horse rushed towards the stockade with another fierce whip.
This is Kaorutsuki's stockade, Kaoru Yue's jurisdiction over a large territory and countless people, but his stockade and people are distributed in various places such as river valleys, mountains, and plains. The village where the Xunjia Tusi ancestors have lived for generations is only larger than the others, and it is limited to the output of the land, so it cannot gather too many people here.
Kaoru had just returned from inspecting his stockade and fields at this time. Toast is on his land. Feared by his people as gods, no one dared to offend the authority of Lord Tusi. But the premise is: toast for everyone to eat. If Toast left his people without enough to eat, it would be a great danger to him.
Tusi does not own the land, and give it to his people to cultivate, he has to take care of all kinds of things in the spring and autumn harvest, a long time ago, there was a Tusi who did not carefully choose good seeds to distribute to his people during spring ploughing. As a result, the crops did not grow well, and when the pest infestation occurred in the summer, no effective measures were taken to eradicate the pest, and the grain was not harvested in the autumn.
Another toast who had a grudge against him took the opportunity to attack him with his troops. There are often frictions and fights between the toasts in this land, and even between the leaders of the same toast, but they all deliberately control the scale, once it grows out of control. Even if they don't want to stop. Other toasts and chieftains will also intervene.
But this time, he didn't wait for the other toasts and leaders to interfere. The Tusi who sent the army successfully attacked the enemy's main village and killed his family, because as soon as his soldiers and horses arrived, the people of the other Tusi surrendered on their knees, and no one resisted and no one protected them.
In the end, the Tusi who hastily intervened could only choose a Tushe from among the immediate family members of the killed Tusi to inherit his position as Tusi. This incident is taken as a lesson by all the toasts, who will tell it again and again to their chosen heirs. Tell him about the importance of the land, the food, and the people.
Kaoru Yue also grew up listening to this story, and he gave people the impression of a rude and savage old man on the outside, but in his village. He was a leader and elder who loved his people and took care of everything.
The customs of the Baiman are similar to those of the Han people, and they mainly focus on farming, silkworm raising, weaving, and fishing. With a small amount of grazing, the most important thing for them every year is of course the arrangement of spring ploughing, but summer is also very important for drought and pest control.
There is plenty of rain this year, so there is no need to worry about drought, and Kaoru is most concerned about insect infestation. He had just returned from the field. The crops planted by his people were growing well this year, and he went into the field to see them carefully. The impact of the insect infestation was also minimal, and Kaoru Moon rode back to his stockade with a satisfied smile on his face.
The people who met him along the way all stood respectfully and bowed to him, and Kaoru Yue rode on his horse and straightened his waist. He nodded majestically to his people.
At this time, a fast horse galloped in the distance, and Kaoru Yue glanced at the man. He scolded with a smile: "Sure enough, it's Feng Xiang, this kid likes to be reckless." ”
The man who rode into the village also saw him, and the horse rushed towards him, and there were still six or seven zhang away, and the man hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed, and when his forefoot stepped on the ground again, he had run quickly to Xunyue, bowed deeply, and took out an invitation from his bosom.
He said to Xunyue: "Lord Tusi, the Qin messenger sent by the imperial court invited Lord Tusi to go to Yunjun City to discuss the arrest of the rebels, because the banquet was scheduled for tomorrow, and the slave was worried that he would miss the time for the adult to go to the banquet, so he rushed back immediately." ”
As soon as Xunyue heard that it was Hong Seyan who summoned him, his face sank, and the second steward Feng Xiang respectfully presented the invitation, Xunyue grabbed the letter in his hand, looked at Feng Xiang and said: "I heard that when the wind was feasted, all the toast heads were very unhappy? ”
Feng Xiang said respectfully: "Yes! That Qincha probably thinks of himself as the queen of the Central Plains, and all our toasts and chiefs are his minions, he is very rude, and all the toasts and chiefs are very angry at his rude behavior. ”
Xun Yue accentuated her tone, and said in a loud voice: "What a chincha, that is a greedy hyena and a ferocious jackal!" In his eyes, there are only gold, women, and power. Rebels? Will those poor outcasts rebel? What a joke!
Only the queen who sat in a palace made of gold, listened to the flattery of a few of her attendants, and never went to inspect her people herself, nor did she look at the harvest of her land, would have believed such a fool! Feng Xiang, if I'm not mistaken, the daughter-in-law your son married is a rogue woman, right? ”
Feng Xiang smiled and said, "Yes! My lord, what a good woman. He is handsome, hard-working, and especially filial to the elderly. The most rare thing is that she is as literate as you are the toast master. My son is so blessed, she is now pregnant, and soon I will be holding my grandson. ”
Kaoru Yue laughed and said, "Then you say, will she rebel?" Should he be dragged to beheaded! ”
Feng Xiang was angry, and his eyes were red: "Such a docile good woman." How could there be a rebellion? She is still pregnant with my Feng Xiang's own grandson in her belly, which dog's Han official dares to pull her to cut off her head, Feng Xiang will fight with him! ”
Kaoru laughed. He didn't open the invitation at all, he tore it to shreds, threw it into the air, and then turned his horse and galloped towards the watchtower where he lived.
……
Yun Xuan hurriedly found Wu Miao. He whispered: "Kaoru Yue refuses to come!" ”
Wu Miao asked nervously, "Could it be that he found something?" ”
Yun Xuan said angrily: "He found a fart!" I've inquired. When he was in Qiongjun, he was put in a position by this Hong Seyan, and he blackmailed him before letting him go, so it's strange that he is willing to come again! ”
Wu Miao turned around nervously twice in the room, and then asked, "Is Yue Satin Lanken coming?" ”
Yun Xuan said: "You don't know, Yue Xianlan has always liked to compete with Xunyue, Xunyue doesn't come, isn't he coming to lower his price?" ”
Wu Miao struck with his fist, very annoyed.
Yun Xuan comforted: "You don't have to worry too much. I was saying it didn't work. Having captured their toast, their tribe will not trade the submission of the entire tribe for the freedom of the toast. When the time comes, we will bring out a successor and take up the banner of avenging the toast, and we will not end well. ”
Wu Miao gritted his teeth and said: "Then there is no way, I have to use force!" ”
Yun Xuan said happily: "That's right, this can only be used in this way." So let's do it tomorrow? ”
Wu Miao nodded heavily, and then instructed: "Don't forget, first ask for a warrant with Hong Yushi!" ”
Yun Xuan smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, I can save it!" ”
In the afternoon of the next day, in a terraced field on a hillside, farmers were toiling hard.
It was still so hot, and the treetops were hanging weakly, and suddenly there was a small sound of horses' hooves in the distance. The farmer, who was working in the fields, looked into the distance, and saw several horses galloping towards him, and to the right and behind the horses, there was a large group of native soldiers with pike spears and long knives.
The peasants thought that they were the old man who had come to inspect the territory, and hurriedly returned from the field, but did not dare to look up, and were about to kneel down and kowtow to the master of their own family, when the native soldiers with guns and knives pounced on them like wolves.
The farmer was surprised to find that these lords were not the masters of his territory, and some of them quickly fled to the fields, mountains, and valleys, and some of them gritted their teeth and pulled out their swords because they still had wives and children to protect.
The people of this place are fierce, whether it is to resist the possible bandits, or the beasts that suddenly emerge from the mountains and forests, a knife is a must-have weapon for them. But the peasants were outnumbered, and soon there were corpses left on the ground, and the rest of the people fled.
The farmers who fled back to the cottage had just told the head of the village what had happened in the field, and the head of the village ordered people to blow the horn and gather the young people in the village to rush to the rescue, and those people had already rushed to the cottage with murderous spirits.
The cottage was looted, and the grain, cattle and sheep, and everything of value were forcibly taken away by the robbers, and some of the robbers even carried some young and beautiful girls on their shoulders.
Grief-stricken and inexplicable people fell to the ground crying, cursing and crying as the robbers hurried in and out, and sparks flew all over the burning houses......
This stockade is the Toast of Xunyue, and it is said that this stockade shelters the Liuren.
After Yao'er and Shen Ren rushed to Yunjun City, it took them two days to find out the power structure of Yunjun and some of the things that happened after Hong Seyan arrived in Yunjun. However, as for how to stir up a greater contradiction between the Yunjun tribe and Hong Seyan without a trace, prompt them to make trouble, and control the situation within the scope of control, Yao'er has not thought of a particularly appropriate way.
At this time, Hong Seyan couldn't wait to launch an attack on the Kaoru Moon Head. Yao'er never thought that Hong Seyan would be so cooperative, he didn't do anything, Hong Seyan had already done everything, and he did it better and more efficiently than him......
……
Similar conflicts continue to occur in the village of Xunyue Toast and the satin toast who suffered an unjustified disaster, and the leaders of the looted villages have led the people who have lost their homes to their toast and cry to the toast lord to complain about their grievances.
After Kaoru Yue heard the news, an old face swollen red angrily, and he kicked the table against the opposite wall with one kick: "What a gut! Wu Miao and Yun Xuan, the two lowly races, dared to openly send people to invade my territory and make up my mind! ”
His eldest son, Kaoru Wuba, said angrily: "My son rushed to negotiate with their people, and they said that our attacked village harbored rebels, and that the Qincha had obtained the credentials, and those who helped the rebels were like rebellions and should be severely punished." The two of them were also forced by the order of the Qincha and had to do so. ”
"They're farting!"
Xun Yue sneered: "Hide it from the world, you can't hide it from the neighbor next door." What are their plans, what do they want to do, can't they see it when they are blind? ”
Kaoru walked around the house, and his sons stood outside the house with the earth house, the headman, the housekeeper, and the head of the village, silently saying a word, waiting for the decision of Lord Tusi.
Kaoru Yue suddenly stood up and said loudly, "The sinister neighbor is more terrible than the fierce enemy!" The butcher's knife has reached our head, what can we do but fight back? ”
Xun Yue coldly glanced at the people standing in front of her with bated breath, and shouted in a louder voice: "Mobilize soldiers and horses, and fight back immediately!" ”
On the hillside, more than a dozen young women and girls are picking mulberry leaves, and the sweet song is transmitted to the fields below.
An old man straightened up from the field, stroked the sweat from his forehead, listened to the singing from the hillside, and smiled serenely on his wrinkled face.
Suddenly, a few fast horses came galloping in the distance, and the old man put his hand on the awning and looked into the distance, and when he saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but sigh and hurriedly closed his mouth. Shouting to the people in the field: "It's the housekeeper who is here, it's our housekeeper who is here!" After saying that, he quickly picked up his hoe and ran to the ground.
The people ran out of the mountains and fields, knelt down at the foot of the mountain, and the steward grabbed the reins of the horses and said loudly to the people who knelt down in front of them: "Go back and tell you the head of the village, Lord Tusi has decided to start a war against Wu Miao Tusi and Yunxuan Tusi, and call the men in your village who are over fourteen years old and under fifty-five years old. Bring your own weapons and dry food, and rush to Tusi Dazhai before sunset tomorrow to listen to the dispatch! ”
"Yes! Be! Follow the orders of the toast master......" (To be continued......)
