Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Blood Alliance

The sun rises little by little from the east to the top.

It's still the same mountain as it was at the beginning. At this moment, there are lights on it, and the offering table is set up, and Qiu Jun is dressed in an official uniform. Sit on the Taishi's chair. Sichuan guerrilla Xu Gui was guarding his side, and there were also three hundred guards by his side. Although there were more than 300 people to support them, it was less than one-tenth compared to the soldiers who were waiting for other toasts.

Qiu Jun also understands that his small actions in Songpan City may not be able to hide from everyone.

But Songpan Toast is not a whole after all.

Nor is it possible for them to communicate with each other completely.

They were worried that something would happen during the ceremony, so they naturally had to bring more people.

However, the time is a little tight, and it is only ten days, and I can't bring many people here.

It's just that Qiu Jun has been waiting for something and it hasn't come.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that something happened?" Or is it too time-sensitive? But he scrutinized it and felt that something should not have happened.

After all, the elite of the Beijing camp, dealing with Songpan, a Tusi soldier, has the feeling of killing chickens with a knife, and should not capsize in the gutter.

Maybe it's just that the time is too tight.

However, Qiu Jun still has a record. It's just that the filing is not as good as originally planned.

At this time, a dusty man came over, held a box with both hands, Qiu Jun took it over, smiled lightly, and said, "Okay, where is General Fan?" ”

"When the little one came, the general was repairing in the bone deer village." The messenger said.

Qiu Jun said: "Okay, reward ten taels of silver, you go down and rest." ”

Ten taels of silver is already the soldier's salary for nearly a year.

"The auspicious time has come." A man shouted loudly.

Qiu Jun also came out and stood with these toasts, just in front of the offering table. I am about to take the oath. Qiu Jun said: "Slow, such a big event, there are only three sacrifices, it is a bit lazy. ”

The toasts were puzzled and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Many of them are Tibetans, and they have never felt anything like human martyrdom or human sacrifice.

But they remember that the Ming officials don't like to hear this, isn't this different today?

Qiu Jun said: "I brought something with me, just to sacrifice to the ghosts and gods. Immediately, Qiu Jun waved his hand, and immediately took the box just now, opened it, and put a human head on the offering table.

"Daddy-------" one shouted.

It is the young master of the bone deer village. He drew his sword and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the other toasts.

But even then, there is tension here. Three hundred soldiers were in front of Qiu Jun, and the rest of the Tusi soldiers were also ready to move.

"What do you mean, sir?" The old toast asked.

Qiu Jun said: "Sacrificing to ghosts and gods, naturally you have to make good sacrifices, I remember when I convened, it was said that it was the Tusi from all over the country, and what is this person, what qualifications are there to be ranked with you, insulting me, that is, insulting the court, my face doesn't matter, but the face of the court cannot be lost." ”

Therefore, he borrowed the head of others, and from now on, there were only twelve Songpan toasts. Bone deer toast delisted. ”

"You didn't say that before." Veteran Toast said.

Qiu Jun said: "Respect for the court is the premise of all negotiations, if someone makes a mistake, the official will naturally correct one or two, and the favor of the court is not something ordinary people can get." ”

"You have to think clearly."

After hearing this, the old toast said, "I'll understand." The old Tusi turned his head, looked at the young master of Gulu Village, waved his hand lightly, and immediately someone stepped forward and stabbed him in, this young master was also a warrior, but he never expected that he would be stabbed by him as his own person.

Before he could react, he fell to the ground and died.

For a while, there was a sound of fighting on the mountain. More than 100 people brought by Gulu Village were also cleaned up by other toasts.

After a while, the heads of the father and son of Guluzhai were placed on the offering table.

The reason why these toasts turned their faces so quickly. But there are several reasons for this.

The first one is naturally that the gap between the toasts is not shallow, unless the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, no toast is willing to thunder for another toast.

And the head of the owner of the bone deer village is here. It means that the bone deer toast no longer exists.

Do they still have to fight against Da Ming for a dead man?

Secondly, he was shocked by Qiu Jun.

Qiu Jun knew that in such a period of time, if the Bone Deer Village was destroyed, he had to cross the snow-capped mountains. Da Ming can climb over the snowy mountains, and naturally he can attack every one of their cottages.

In addition, in general, Qiu Jun's conditions are still relatively lenient for Songpan Toast.

For these big toasts, such conditions are also difficult for them to refuse.

Therefore, it is inevitable to abandon the owner of the bone deer village at this time.

For Qiu Jun, it is a great positive situation.

The imperial court can kill the owner of the bone deer village, and naturally it can also open the knife to other village owners, and these big toasts have given up the owners of the bone deer village, and naturally they have not given up a lot of small toasts.

Thinking about it, as long as these little toasts are not stupid, they know that they are close to the imperial court.

With these people, Daming is not blind to the Songpan Mountains. This makes it easier to do other tasks.

The subsequent sacrifice did not produce any moths.

After the sacrifice, Qiu Jun wrote a recital and asked all the toasts to jointly sign and play the court. The content is naturally Songpan Pingjing, and please St. Ann.

And Qiu Jun also ordered each family to produce more than 2,000 horses

As a tribute horse, it was sent to the Beijing Division.

The Tusi here in Songpan originally had the obligation to pay tribute to horses, but it has been cut off for I don't know how many years, and there is such a large number all of a sudden, some of these toasts have a tribute a year, and some have a tribute every two years, and it would be good to have hundreds of tribute horses in Songpan every year.

Solved the issue of Songpan Toast. This trade route can be regarded as open.

But there's still a lot to be done.

For example, setting up checkpoints, having passed the office, and inspecting the office. This series of institutions is to cooperate with the tea introduction system.

Anyone who wants to sell tea must sell tea guides, and they must pay tea taxes in advance, and then take tea guides and tea to transport, and the government has the power to inspect them on the road.

If there is no tea introduction, it is private tea.

The crime of selling illicit tea is the same as selling illicit salt.

Of course, what kind of situation will it be in actual implementation. But it's something else.

And Songpan is the best way for Qiu Jun to clean up the tea affairs in Sichuan. After the rectification of Songpan, Sichuan's tea energy continued to enter Qinghai.

Qiu Jun also asked Xu Gui to temporarily serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of Songpan. As for whether Songpan has a general army, it has to be decided by the Beijing division, and now Xu Gui is only temporary.

In Qiu Jun's opinion, the Sichuan soldiers led by Xu Gui are not much worse than the Beijing camp, but at least they are still presentable, otherwise Sichuan would not have sent Xu Gui out to embarrass people.

The town guard Songpan Xu Gui can still do it.

After all this was over, Qiu Jun reported to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian immediately ordered Qiu Jun to take Fan Guang's subordinates and immediately go north, and together with Yu Qian, inspect Xining.

After all, the tea and horse trade has never been a problem on the part of the Ming Dynasty. It's a two-pronged problem.

When Qiu Jun was doing things, Yu Qian was not idle. Moreover, in the severe drought in the northwest this year, Yu Qian not only sorted out the smuggling of tea in various places, but also inspected water conservancy projects in various places, as well as Ma Zheng and so on.

Therefore, Yu Qian is busier than Qiu Jun.

When the good news came from the front line of the Ming army, Yu Qian immediately felt that this was an opportunity to take advantage of the imperial court's victory over the tiles to deter these local snakes in the west. Re-cleaning the business road.

And for these local snakes, it is impossible to talk about them with empty mouths and white teeth, so it is natural to lead troops to deter, so Yu Qian has been waiting for Fan Guangbu to come back.

Yu Qian also felt that the strength of the Beijing camp was far superior to that of the other border armies.

The only downside is that it's too expensive.

Five thousand soldiers can only maintain it with at least fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver per year, and you must know that many towns in the northwest do not have 50,000 taels of funds a year.

Although it is said that they have tuntian, but the tuntian of the guard, what kind of bird is this idea, who doesn't know?

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp is actually smashed out of silver.

Now this part is under the jurisdiction of Yu Qian, and it is necessary to take accounts from Shaanxi, and the northwest itself is a poor place, so such a large expenditure makes Yu Qian a headache.

Only then did he understand why Zhu Qizhen wanted money.
