Yang Yinglong looked coldly at Yang Zhang, who was sobbing in front of him, and his heart was full of disdain and contempt. I'm really blind, how did I find such a brainless woman who only knows how to cause trouble as the main room?

"You don't like my youngest son Yang Tiansheng and I put up with it, and I also endure Tian's intolerance; You killed that Yang Xi, and I didn't care too much about you! But do you really think of yourself as the main mother of Banzhou?! What qualifications do you have, on behalf of my Yang family, to send soldiers to attack the Tunpu in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces without authorization?! I Yang someone divorced you, you know that you want to be embarrassed, and you don't dare to publicize it to the public, but which of these things you did yourself really regarded yourself as the mother of Banzhou? Even if it is, are you fighting for Lao Tzu's face? This is causing trouble for the whole of Banshu! Cause a monstrous disaster! Yang Yinglong was really angry and slapped the sandalwood table heavily.

Yang Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and just sobbed vigorously, without explaining a word.

Since Yang Yinglong secretly retired from the Yang Zhang family, the Zhang family and the Tian family have been incompatible since then, although they still maintain a calm posture on the surface. The fuse of the two families who completely turned their faces was still a piece of land. Because of this land, it was first a duel between clansmen, then a large-scale weapon fight, and finally developed to the point of dispatching soldiers to do it with real swords.

In order to leave some way out for his family, Yang Zhang's family said that the Zhang family's Tusi would first lay down some of the Tunbao in Sichuan and Guizhou, and even if it failed in the future, he would be driven out of Banzhou by the Yang family, and there would be a place for migrating clansmen. But after all, she is no longer a member of the Yang family, and it is impossible to mobilize the Yang family soldiers, so she can only let her family soldiers disguise themselves as Yang family soldiers and act quietly without authorization.

Tian's toast also has this idea, after all, Tian's position among the seven toasts has always been the last, and they can't afford to fail. So he could only make an idea near Banzhou, but the Tian family Tusi thought further: this place can't be too close to Banzhou, otherwise if the Yang family decides to raise an army to fight one day, then his own clan is completely finished, so he has to be far away; From another point of view, the territory in his hands is larger and the population is larger, and his strength and status among the seven Tusi will be higher in the future.

Before this, Yang Yinglong had already mediated with them once, but unfortunately, the clan that had been peaceful for a long time gradually felt that the place of Banzhou might be changed to a toast, and he Yang Yinglong was no longer suitable for this position. On the surface, it seems to be a fight between the two families of Tian Zhang, but in fact, all the Tusi families are involved. So at the instigation of people with ulterior motives, the contradictions between the two families were temporarily calm, but there was an undercurrent surging under the calm!

Zhang's Tusi first said that Wang's Tusi was moved, and promised that if the Tunbao on the Sichuan-Guizhou border was laid, the two families would have three or seven points, the Zhang family would have three points, and the Wang family would have seven points; This condition is not generally attractive, everyone wants to sit in this position, they all want to be the chief toast, the Wang family also wants to get a lot of land and population, staying in this small place of Banzhou for too long, the barrenness of resources, and the lack of population have made the Wang family feel a kind of crisis. Only by expanding the territory and increasing the population is the foundation of the prosperity of the Wang family. So the Wang family agreed to provide the Zhang family with manpower and equipment, as well as grain and grass supplies, but the territory was laid and his Wang family soldiers had to occupy it first. In order to gain the right to speak in Banzhou, the Zhang family could only agree to this humiliating request with hatred - the Zhang family is ready, once the territory is laid, the Wang family will be destroyed first!

However, Tian won the sympathy of Ma, Li and Chen, and promised to give him some assistance when he fought for the territory in the future, but it was impossible to directly help him deal with Zhang, which was a prerequisite. So the two families fought hard one after another, planning to decide the outcome in a battle. Whoever has a large territory and a large population is the king! In fact, for the other toasts, they are not willing to directly intervene in this matter, or to curry favor with both ends, but people are not as good as heaven, and the struggle between the two families must inevitably involve the interests of the other toasts, so they are gradually involved in it, and it is rolled into a plate of messy sand.

Yang Yinglong's previous adjustment did not work at all, this is not the most disappointing for him, the most disappointing thing is that these two families are just fighting, and they dare to fight the idea of Sichuan, Guizhou and even Huguang! In case the Ming Emperor sends troops to suppress it, will he be able to resist it with this basin of scattered sand? The answer is obviously impossible, and it will bring ruin to the Yang family! Bringing disaster to Banshu, which has been peaceful for a hundred years! But it's too late to say anything now, since you're going to fight, let's fight! When the main force of your family soldiers is fighting outside, the local division will destroy all the toast leaders of your two families!

The Miao soldiers were very strong in combat, and most of their equipment was weapons of mass destruction such as bows and arrows, and they were armed with knives and knives, not to mention that Miao was fierce and aggressive in life, and soon brought great disasters to the surrounding Tunpu. Wherever they passed, they did everything to rape, plunder, burn, kill and rob, and everywhere became a scorched earth, and the poor combat effectiveness of the Ming military households also made the Miao people very happy, so the respective territories of the Tian and Zhang clans expanded rapidly.

At this time, Yang Yinglong quickly attacked and sent the Yang family soldiers to prepare to arrest the Tusi patriarchs of the two families. It's just that he didn't expect that the other party had already calculated that Yang Yinglong would do this, and the leaders of the housekeepers all ran out, only catching some small fish and shrimp, which was useless. And at this time, the rest of the Tusi also openly expressed their attitude, asking Yang Yinglong to admit the territory and population they already have!

This situation is reversed, and the Yang family has become the weaker side among the seven major toasts. And more importantly, Yang Yinglong got the exact news, the Ming court had already known about the matter, and was ready to send a messenger to make a special inquiry. This had to make him make a gesture of reconciliation first: he couldn't let his Yang family and Banzhou be messed up by a few waste toasts! Banshu is the painstaking management of his own clan for many years! Don't let it be ruined! So he proposed that the seven major toasts discuss together, otherwise most of them agree to the current situation. Of course, it is a good thing to take advantage, and the Yang family is forced to admit that good thing! A few big toasters sat down and discussed, and they all agreed to the current balance of power.

Yang Yinglong could only grit his teeth and vomit blood to admit that the Tian family and the Zhang family's new territory. This matter is over, he immediately decided to summon Li Hualong, the former imperial envoy and squire of the military department, and proposed to Li Hualong that he was willing to return to the Ming Dynasty - he had to make this painful decision for the sake of his Yang family's current status and the peace of Banzhou, in fact, his psychology was almost overturned: there has been nothing at all for so many years, and now the prestige and reputation of the Yang family for many years have been ruined in this incident! Zhang, Tian, you wait, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will have to settle accounts with you one day! This Banzhou is the world of my Yang family! It was, it is, and it will be! No one can take Banzhou away from the hands of the Yang family, from the hands of someone from me, Yang!

Li Hualong got Yang Yinglong's exact answer, and if he dared to delay, he immediately asked the accompanying Jinyi Wei spies to send a letter to Beijing as soon as possible. The situation in Banshu has calmed down on the surface.

That night, Zhang Bonan, the Tusi of the Zhang family, secretly saw Li Hualong, brought a large amount of gold and silver and other things, and let him go without restraint: "Lord Li, you are a high-ranking official of the imperial court and the emperor's minister. We see you today, just to chat with you, and let you have a detailed understanding of our Banzhou. ”

Li Hualong was disgusted, but he really didn't know anything about the situation in Banzhou, and his eyes were black, and he really needed a local to tell him about the current situation. Zhang Bonan took a puff of homemade cigarettes* and knocked on the leg of the stool before he said slowly: "This place in Banzhou, for hundreds of years, has been governed by seven Tusi such as me, and it has always been like a paradise, and there has never been any disputes and wars. My lord, you must not know that Yang Yinglong's Yang family is actually not the biggest toast in Banzhou, the biggest toast here is our Zhang family. But why was the Yang family able to dominate Banzhou for a hundred years? No matter what dynasty or place, a balance is needed, and the ancestor of the Yang family is very good at balancing the forces of all parties and handling the relationship between all parties, so only he is the most suitable for this chief toast. But since Yang Yinglong's father's generation, this balance has been broken, and his Yang family regards Banzhou as his family's place, acting recklessly, as if he is the emperor of the soil.

We and a few other toasts are not willing to fight with them, not because they can't fight, but because the struggle is bound to affect the peaceful and peaceful people here for a hundred years! Banshu is a place with a dangerous terrain and a lack of resources, and if you want to rule this place, you can't arouse the disgust of the people in any way! But that Yang Yinglong is doing things more and more biasedly, in other clans, he doesn't take my Zhang clan people in his eyes, and he actually looks down on other clans! In addition to taking great care of Tian's toast, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of several other toasts! Several times ago, at the request of the imperial court, the children were dispatched, and the worst casualties were often me and a few other toasts! Can someone from his Yang family go into the mountains to cut sandalwood? Does his Tian family have children who went to Beijing to repair the buildings destroyed by the earthquake? Banzhou is so big that the land that can be cultivated, his Yang family actually took it for himself, and drove away the original people of other tribes on the land! How can this be convincing?

My daughter has a really bad temper, we have to admit that. But is this a reason to divorce her? You can ignore it, women, what man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? There is no one priority? But you can't completely ignore my Zhang's face and give her a divorce, right?! My Zhang clan is also a hundred-year-old clan, what kind of face do you have here! Speaking of this, Zhang Bonan beat his chest and paused, with an inexplicable look of grief and indignation, "Now that his Yang family is strong, and Yang Yinglong's kid's wings are also stiff, he feels that there is no need for me and other clans in Banzhou, so he actually wants to raid the clan hall and wipe out all of us old guys!" How insidious is the intention! My lord, please forgive the little old man for saying a word that he doesn't like, he, Yang Yinglong, can drive away our old clans in Banzhou today, and he will be able to get rid of the emperor in Daming tomorrow! This person's **, when will he have a head?! ”
