Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Meeting of Songpan

On one side, the snow-capped mountains are high in the sky, like the snow in the clouds, and on the other side are narrow areas in the deep valley that can be cultivated.

Almost every place is unattainable, and almost every place is dangerous enough to defend.

This is also the reason why the Ming army was defeated during the Xuande period.

With the help of geographical advantages, the local Tusi went directly to the rear of the army, chose a dangerous place, and stuck to it. After being trapped for a period of time, the Ming army was sleepy and lacking horses, and the food was cut off, so they could only become cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.

Therefore, on this avenue, it is easy to defeat the Tusi soldiers.

Speaking of which, the toast soldiers are very powerful.

Not really.

The result of the decline of the Ming Dynasty's army.

Although the Tusi soldiers live in the poor mountains and bad waters, they are brave and ruthless, but they are not the opponents of the soldiers of the economic system.

On this narrow ancient road through Songpan, the Ming army can still break through one by one, but it is impossible for the Ming army to cross the mountains and mountains and remove the evil.

It is easy to hit Songpan City, and it is also easy to recover Songpan City.

But the problem is that if the Ming army wants to garrison here for a long time, it will have to withstand the continuous harassment of more than a dozen Tusi.

This is also the reason why many ministers have compromised.

Because this place is chicken ribs.

Of course, this is also because the tea tax revenue has long been embezzled, and the imperial court can't get benefits, so it is naturally unwilling to work here.

Qiu Jun saw this. It was decided to convene the toasts for a meeting in Songpan City.

Just worried that the families were suspicious of the imperial court, he set the location of the alliance on a mountain outside Songpan City.

The mountain is right on Mount Songpan.

Songpan City is located in a narrow northwest, southeast valley, and this peak, very close to Songpan City, standing on the top of the mountain, you can take a look at the situation in Songpan City.

From this peak to the northeast, there is Daisetsuzan Mountain.

Although it is in summer, but in the mountains, it is like after autumn, and people can't help but add a few thick clothes.

Qiu Jun only brought a few followers and left the Ming army brigade at the bottom of the mountain, otherwise the Tusi would not dare to come.

But Qiu Jun showed a very good demeanor, that kind of calm and calm attitude, which made these toasts originally a little arrogant, but seeing Qiu Jun so calm.

I was a little deflated for a while.

Of course, they treated Qiu Jun like this, not because of Qiu Jun himself, but because they were worried about the Ming Dynasty behind Qiu Jun.

Qiu Jun saw that everyone had arrived, sat on the first big stone, and said, "Since everyone has arrived, let's start." ”

The only fly in the ointment is that Qiu Jun is from Guangdong, and he speaks with some accents. If these Songpan Tusi speak Sichuan official dialect, the two sides can probably still communicate.

But they speak the local dialect.

Communication can only be done through an interpreter.

saw a big man in front of him sharply scolded. The interpreter beside him stammered and said, "Ah Yong Toast said, aren't you afraid of dying when you come here?" ”

Qiu Jun also knows. What this Tusi said, he was not so polite, nor did he delve into it, and said: "It's not that the official is not afraid of death, but I guess you don't dare to kill the official." ”

After the interpretation and communication, one of the thirteen toasts suddenly stood up and pressed his hand on the knife. Seeing this, the two or three guards around Qiu Jun drew their swords one after another and guarded in front of Qiu Jun.

It's just that compared to the thirteen toasts, each of them brought more than 100 people, and compared with a total of one or two thousand people, it was extremely weak.

Without an interpreter, Qiu Jun also knew what they were talking about. He smiled and said: "I know that there are imperial court officers who died in your hands, and then they were recruited, but I don't know that there are countless military attaches in the Ming Dynasty, but there is a champion every three years, and it is the champion of orthodoxy for 19 years." If you kill me, the court will never tolerate Songpan's matter for the sake of the face of the world. Now that I've made it clear, which of you would dare to kill me? ”

There was a toast shouting in his mouth, and it was estimated that he was not the champion. He came up and was about to make a move, but was stopped by the people around him.

An elderly toast had a stumbling official dialect and said, "My lord, is it really Wenqu Xing descending to earth?" ”

Qiu Jun said: "With the emperor's love, there is the top spot on the gold list, Wenqu Xing or something, but it is not deserved." ”

This toast is Assi toast, and it is also a more authoritative toast of this generation, and he is well-informed. Naturally, you know what the champion means.

They are in the mountains, although they are not afraid of Daming, but they don't want to take over the undying enmity with Daming.

And even the idea of going against the Ming Dynasty is not shared by everyone.

In comparison, the imperial court gave up Songpanwei, but in this way, is it really good for Songpan Thirteen Toast?

In the area of Songpan, the thirteen toasts, the total number of people is only tens of thousands, and the people who can really go into battle are only in their early 10,000s.

In fact, many Songpan Tusi didn't want to make trouble with the imperial court, and at the beginning, it was the official coercion-the people's rebellion, and then the Ming army killed too much, forcing them to fight with the Ming army.

Later, the Ming army compromised.

For some old adults, they think that this estimate is the best result, but for some raw melons and eggs, they only think that the Han people are nothing more than that, but they have intensified their efforts, and even went down to the mountains to plunder.

For this kind of move, for many toasts, they are not too approves.

Not to mention anything else, when Song Panwei was there, there were many Han merchants. They were able to trade and live a better life, and they could sell some of the furs in the mountains.

But now this trouble, it is not those big backgrounds, and the caravans they can't afford to offend will not take this road.

And the background behind these big businessmen can give these toasts good

Complexion?

Although Da Ming can't deal with them, it doesn't mean that those with a big background can't deal with them.

You must know that what the Ming Dynasty wants is long-term peace and stability, so when the imperial court can't exterminate them, it won't do too much.

But those with a big background are different.

The people who really hurt them, anyone who came out of Songpan Mountain, it is estimated that not a single one of them will survive.

These people can't give Songpan any benefits to the toasts.

Songpan Toast didn't dare to ask for more.

Counting up, from the Xuande period to the present, he has made peace with the imperial court, and after fighting, it is not as good as the original quality of life, and even some toasts have gone down the mountain to loot, which may not be forced.

Now it's hard enough, and it's really fatal to kill another champion.

The old toast knows how heavy it is.

After stopping the people, he said in a stumbling official dialect: "Master Zhuangyuan, what are you doing in our poor country? ”

Qiu Jun said: "I came here to stop Songpan'an, and the imperial court was out of control a few years ago. Military discipline collapsed and tyrannized the people, but the imperial court had already been punished. Do you think that you are in danger, and that the imperial army is useless? I also came with troops today, if you think that the Ming knife is unfavorable, I will ask General Fan, and you for a while, right to the previous news, the tile spur hundreds of thousands of troops, one defeated in Xingkai Lake, the second defeated in Zhaozhou, and now the loss of troops and generals, fled back to Mobei, today's martial arts, no less than the Taizong Dynasty, and so on to let the army into the mountains to encircle and suppress? ”

The old toast said: "Little Lao'er naturally doesn't dare to resist the imperial court, but we have deep grievances with the officials. We're all worried about -----"

Qiu Jun said: "Worried about the imperial court's settlement after the autumn? Don't worry, I'm here on behalf of Your Majesty, so naturally I won't go back on my word. ”

It's just that Qiu Jun's sentence didn't cause any conformity, but a few toasts sneered after listening to the interpreter's paraphrase.

Sure enough, here in Songpan, the credit of the Ming government is almost negative.

Without him, Chen Huai, a veteran, is no longer in the world, but he left a mess behind, when Chen Huai pacified the Songpan Rebellion, he could have used any means, and beheaded Songpan Tusi fiercely, and both sides received a deep feud in the sea of blood.

But that was more than 20 years ago.

Now that time has passed, this hatred has faded, after all, survival is the most important thing.

But it doesn't mean that Songpan Tusi will unconditionally believe the words of the government.

People who have suffered a loss once will naturally not be easily fooled.

Qiu Jun also understood this, so he came to the real place and said: "Songpan has always been an important place of transportation with Xifan, and the tea and horse trade was also very busy at the beginning. What is the situation today? ”

"Everyone also knows, to be honest, there is no shortage of Songpan trade route in the imperial court, but don't you really care if you have ever passed this trade route?"
