048【Wang's Toast】
The main force of the rebels came from the three Miao tribes, and the leaders were called: Aja, Aza, and Aduo.
Moreover, not all of them are Miao people, Aza is even the same clan as the Song family (Zhong family), but they are all called Miao in the official documents of the Ming Dynasty.
After the capture of Zazo Division, there were strong internal divisions. Ah Duo was afraid of facing the main force of the Han army and did not trust An Guirong, so he led the army north to attack Qingshan, Dizhai and other long-term lawsuits (that is, Xifeng County in later generations).
Aja and Aza, one in order to fulfill the secret agreement with An Guirong, and the other for the gold and silver treasures of the North Yazhai, led the main force of the rebel army of more than 10,000 people to the south to break through Guizhu Village, and then surrounded the North Yazhai and Yunjin Village.
Beiya and Yunjin two villages are horns of each other, there is a mountain road in the middle to communicate, and several sides are surrounded by mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The two Miao chiefs collided with each other, and Aja quickly retreated, but Aza was fascinated by the wealth. Beiyazhai hoarded the wealth and goods accumulated by the Song family for hundreds of years, as long as the village was broken, more things would be grabbed than the entire northeast of Guizhou!
"Aja, why did you stop? As long as they work hard, the Song family will definitely not be able to hold on! ”
Azza rushed into Aja's tent and asked him about his guilt as soon as they met.
Aja shook his head with a wry smile: "If you can't beat it, there's no need to harm the lives of the tribal warriors." ”
Aza brandished a machete and said his fantasies: "An Guirong promised that he would send troops to help us attack the Song family. As long as you work hard now and cripple the Beiya Tusi soldiers, and wait for An Guirong to send troops to help, you can easily take the stockade. Ajia, the treasures of the Song family for hundreds of years, are all hidden in the North Yazhai. When the time comes, you will divide forty percent, I will divide forty percent, and leave two percent for An Guirong, and you will not be able to enjoy it for several lifetimes! ”
"You actually believe An Guirong's nonsense?" Aja was amazed.
Azza said, "An Guirong never lied to us. If you say you will give money and food, you will give money and food, and if you say you will give soldiers and armor, you will give soldiers and armor, which is much more reliable than the Song family toast. ”
Aja didn't bother to explain to the fool, and said directly: "The thousand horse team, I have already sent it to the north." Tomorrow, if you bluff to attack the stockade again, and withdraw the army overnight in the evening, the Song family will definitely not dare to chase after it. ”
"Withdrawal?" Azza suddenly became excited, "Why do you want to withdraw?" Why withdraw! That's the North Ya Village, the North Ya Village of the Song family. Mountains of treasure are piled up, food will not be eaten for several lifetimes, and there are so many beautiful women waiting for us to rob! ”
"If we don't withdraw our troops, we will be in chaos ourselves," Aja said, "In the past few days, the warriors of the small village are fighting hard, and they are willing to give up their own hands (the owners of the village) to contribute." If we continue to fight, they may have to take refuge in the Song family and turn around and fight with us! ”
Aza said disdainfully: "They don't dare! ”
Aja suddenly said: "I have asked the Han scholars to write two letters of request. One was given to the governor of Guizhou City, and the other was sent to Huguang, so that the Han officials of Huguang could be transferred to the emperor. ”
"What the hell do you want to do?" Azza was puzzled.
Aja explained: "Over the past few decades, there have been countless tribal uprisings in Guizhou, but which one has succeeded? When the imperial court sends a large army, we will definitely not be able to defeat it. So I wrote a letter to the imperial court, saying that we were forced to rebel by the Song family, and asked the emperor to forgive us for our crimes and reward us with the four long lawsuits of Zazuo, Ganxi, Dizhai, and Qingshan. As long as the emperor agrees, in the future, you and I, as well as Ah Duo, can all be toasters, and our children and grandchildren can also be toasters for generations! ”
Aza suddenly felt a little moved, and asked, "What if the emperor doesn't agree?" ”
"Then fight," Aja said with a hideous face, "I heard a story told by the Han people, what is it called "Water Margin". As long as we win a few more battles and occupy more territory, the imperial court will send Han officials to recruit us! Therefore, don't stare at the North Yazhai, go back to the north and east, and go all out to fight down as much territory as you can. Then wait for the Han official to come and recruit An! ”
Aza was still reluctant to accept the treasures and beauties in the Beiya Village, and muttered: "If you knock down the Beiya, won't you be able to recruit anything more?" ”
Aja felt so tired, and patiently explained: "Even if the North Yazhai is defeated, how many of our warriors will be left?" When the time comes, the officers and soldiers in Guizhou will be able to destroy us, how can the imperial court agree to recruit peace? ”
Aza was very entangled and said: "Then fight again tomorrow, I really can't fight, and I will withdraw my troops tomorrow night." ”
"Good!"
Aja breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Aja would not be able to do anything.
The two Miao chieftains reached an agreement, and Ajia took out the account again with a knife and went to appease those small village guards in person.
Each small village is equivalent to the leader of the rebel army all the way, and has a very large independence. Aja has to coerce and lure to get these guys to obey. In order to gather the hearts of the army, he did not even dare to divide the looted goods now, for fear that the various stockades would scatter in a hurry after dividing the goods and goods.
"It's smoking over there!" Aza suddenly pointed in the direction of Guizhou City.
Aja laughed, "Leave him alone. It is impossible for An Guirong to send troops within half a year, and the officers and troops in Guizhou are all waste, so they don't have the courage to take the initiative to leave the city. The smoke over there may have been deliberately set on fire by the official and military spies to scare us. ”
After saying these words, Aja thought for a while: "The Han people have a word called 'extraneous branches'. So let's send five hundred warriors each to escort the money, food, and women back to Zazo, and distribute them in Zazo after the withdrawal of the army. If you don't divide the goods, the people below will be disobedient. Tomorrow morning to attack the village, tomorrow afternoon to prepare, tomorrow night to withdraw. ”
Azza said, "I will go and gather my people to take counsel." ”
Half an hour later, a thousand rebels escorted goods and women and withdrew from the rebel camp ahead of schedule. They followed the foot of the mountain, took the official road on the road, and then took the official road to Zazos.
This is the scene that Wang Yuan and the others saw.
……
The four of them quickly returned to Guizhou City, but halfway through, they met Uncle Friday and others.
Uncle Friday asked: "Li Sanlang, did you set fire to the corpse in the village?" ”
"It's us." Li Ying said.
Uncle Friday smiled bitterly: "You frightened the defenders in the city, and thought that the thieves were going to attack the city, so the boss sent us to hurry up to find out the news." ”
Well, the village of the family members of the military is closer to Guizhou City and farther away from Beiya. The reckless act of setting fire to the corpses did not disturb the rebels, but frightened the officers and soldiers.
Li Ying said: "Uncle Friday, the thieves are transferring goods and women, and they may withdraw their troops in the near future. I plan to go back to the city and persuade my father to send troops to ambush the official road in the mountains, and I will definitely kill the thieves by then! ”
Uncle Friday shook his head and said, "The thieves transfer their goods, not necessarily to withdraw the army. Even if he wanted to withdraw the army, Ling Zun did not dare to send troops to ambush. The most important thing for him now is to firmly defend the city of Guizhou. As long as Guizhou City is not lost, he will be innocent, anyway, the thieves are rebelled by the Song family. ”
Li Ying suddenly stopped talking, because he knew his father very well.
The general army is not hereditary, and it needs to accumulate military merits. And Li Ying's father, Li Ang, has been promoted from hereditary command to general soldier, and his use of troops is nothing more than two words: steady!
General Li has always fought like this-
My lord, there are thieves ahead.
Beware of ambushes and retreat!
My lord, the thieves are in chaos.
This is a plan to lure the enemy, defend the city, do not go out lightly!
My lord, so-and-so county has been captured by the rebel army.
Hurry up and urge the An clan to send troops, and we will defend the camp steadily!
My lord, Ahn has won a big victory.
Attack with my whole army, and don't let a single thief escape!
You see how stable General Li is, he has fought on the battlefield for decades and has never lost a battle. And he is also a head dog, always at the most critical time, to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, even if he can't grab the first credit, he will definitely get a lot.
There are so many hereditary commanders in Guizhou (including commanding fellow intellectuals, commanding affairs, etc.), and the competition is quite fierce, and Li Ang can be promoted to the chief soldier, so there are a few brushes.
Li Ying knew his father's routine very well, and when he was reminded by Uncle Friday at this moment, he suddenly had no intention of returning to the city.
Wang Yuan suddenly said: "Even if you can't ambush the main force of the rebels, you can ambush their escort team." You don't need too many people, a hundred is enough. Their mules and horses were full of goods, and the women were tied with their hands strung together, and they could not walk fast. We set up an ambush in the mountains in advance, and each person carried more torches, so that a surprise attack in the middle of the night could scare them away. ”
"Yes, you must get those women back!" Li Ying said.
Uncle Friday shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I just have a small flag, saying that I am in charge of ten soldiers, but including myself, there are only four soldiers in total." No matter how good your plan is, I can't find a hundred people. ”
There are no soldiers available, so what can be done.
Wang Yuan thought hard for a while, and suddenly said: "I can go back to Qingzhai to recruit troops!" ”
So much goods, so many horses and mules, so many women.
Only one or two hundred people are needed, and they will attack at night with fire, and they will be scared if they can be frightened, and they will withdraw if they are not scared, and the owner of the Fang Zhai will definitely be willing to take this job.
Even if the goods, mules, horses and women can only get half of the Qingzhai share, it is also an unimaginable harvest, and the owner of the village can earn extra money and fly!
And when the rebellion is put down, maybe you can report to the imperial court.
After thinking clearly, Wang Yuan clenched his fists and said, "General Zhou......"
Uncle Friday hurriedly interrupted and said, "Don't dare to be, I'm just a small flag." ”
Wang Yuan said: "Then I will also call you Uncle Friday." Please take someone with Uncle Friday, carefully monitor the rebels' itinerary all the way, and I will go back to the Black Mountain Ridge to bring the troops over, and preset the location of the night attack according to the situation. All the gains, wear Qingzhai and share it equally with Uncle Friday, as for how much you pay to the officials, that's your own business. ”
Uncle Friday is moved, who doesn't want to make extra money?
Wang Yuan also said: "If the women who have been plundered by the rebels can find their relatives, let them be reunited with their relatives." If the family is dead, let them stay in the village, these women are not allotments. ”
"Well said," Uncle Friday rubbed his hands excitedly, "I've done this deal!" ”
Wang Yuan's thinking was clear all of a sudden, and this was a great opportunity to develop his forces.
In the early stage of the rebels' rampant, as long as the village could intercept this batch of property, it would be able to feed more people. Then secretly fool the people displaced by the war, whether Han Chinese or natives, all can be picked up on the mountain, let them reorganize their families on the mountain, and help them reclaim wasteland.
In a year or two, the population of the village may double.
When the official army carried out a major counteroffensive, Chongqingzhai raised the banner of the rebels to help the official army quell the rebellion, and took the opportunity to make another fortune.
The Song family is definitely going to decline, and Wang Yuan wants to use his relationship with the Song family to find another opportunity to catch the line of the governor Wei Ying, and get a Zazuo Tusi chief for his father or eldest brother.
The father or eldest brother became Zasa Toast, and it was supported to wear Qingzhai first, and it was too convenient for an acquaintance to be a chief. The Song family will also support it, because they can secretly swear allegiance to the Song family - Dizhai Tusi is surnamed Cai, and he is also dispatched by the Song family and is regarded as his own by the Song family.
If Governor Wei Ying supports it again, it will basically be a certainty.
Wang Yangming thinks that students have no desire?
This is desire, and it is a desire that ordinary people dare not think of!
Perhaps hundreds of years later, there is still a Wang family toast in the northern Qianbei region.
