Chapter 543: The City of Muoge

In the past, the Yi people called the king Jimu or Tho Mu, and Ge means city.

Therefore, Mu Oge is the meaning of "royal city" in Yi language.

Muoge City, the royal city of the Yi people in Shuixi, is located in the core of the land of Shuixi, on a mountain ridge in the Dafang area east of the Liuchong River (in Dafang County, northwest of Guizhou in later generations).

The mountain city of Muoge was once the capital of the ancient Luodian kingdom, and has been a symbol of the Tusi royal power of the Shuixian clan for thousands of years.

Since the Ming Dynasty, this mountain city of Muoge has naturally become the residence of the Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion of the Shuixian clan.

On the first day of April in the second year of Chongzhen, the Muoge Mountain City in the depths of the mountains in Shuixi was rainy and rainy, and in the lobby of the Guizhou Propaganda and Consolation Department in the Muog Mountain City, it was even more gloomy and miserable.

"King! Now Shuixi is in danger!

"Yongning and Lin Zhou are the northwest gateways of the water, and Wusa and Zhanyi are the western gateways of Shuixi, and now the Sichuan soldiers have entered Yongning and Linzhou, and the Yunnan soldiers have also gone north to Zhanyi and Wusa, if I don't divide my troops to resist the enemy as soon as possible, Shuixi is really dangerous!"

The person who knelt on the stone floor in the lobby of the Xuanwei Mansion and said these words was none other than An Alun, who hurried back to Muog Mountain City to report on the military situation on the Western Front.

And facing south and facing north, high up, sitting on the big tiger skin couch in the lobby, it is neither An Bangyan, the "Great Elder of the Four Descendants", nor the extravagant Chongming who calls himself the "King of Great Liang".

Sitting on it is the Guizhou Xuanwei Department who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty before the Xuanwei Envoy to the throne.

Behind the seat, there is a wooden screen carved with a phoenix, and behind the screen, there is another chair, on which is the mother, Mrs. Hao, Hui Shehui.

In front of the seat, on the left and right sides sat the fifty-nine-year-old luxury Chongming and the then fifty-year-old An Bangyan.

The Yi people are uncles, and the status of uncles is higher than that of uncles.

Compared with the dark and thin luxury Chongming who was silent, the tall and fat An Bangyan heard this, and scolded himself in his mouth:

"An Chongsheng, this dog thing, actually betrayed Shuixi, betrayed my Great Luodian Kingdom, and betrayed Ji Mu who has maintained his family for generations! It's hateful and killable! ”

Speaking of this, An Bangyan, whose face was black and red, was still indignant, and shouted at a leader who was kneeling at the door of the lobby of the Xuanwei Mansion far away:

"Zimo, today you will take someone to Zhijin, arrest An Chongsheng's family, old and young, and hang them all for me!

"We must let those lowly festival gangs see what the fate of the traitor is to join the enemy!"

Zhijin Guanzhai is the official village of An Bangyan when he was the Tongzhi of Shuixi Xuanwei Si before, and Jiegang is the name of the Yi Tusi head to ordinary Yi people or Yi slaves.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, after An Xiaoliang, the prefect of Wusatu, died in battle, An Xiaoliang's family, all of whom were transferred from Wusa to his own territory to help take care of them.

This is also the reason why An Bangyan is relieved to use An Chongsheng, after all, An Chongsheng's own wives and concubines, family members, and children, as well as An Chongsheng's father's wives and concubines, etc., are all in An Bangyan's hands, and he is not afraid that he will be disobedient and unfaithful.

But he didn't expect that even so, An Chongsheng still descended.

Therefore, when An Bangyan heard that the siege of Usa City had only been under siege for half a month, An Chongsheng opened the city and surrendered, and his heart was extremely resentful, and at this time, he naturally sprinkled his anger on An Chongsheng's family.

An Bangyan disposed of this, and the others had nothing to say.

There has been such a big change on the Western Front, someone has to stand up and take responsibility, but the loss of Yongning and Lin Zhou's luxury Chonghui, who is not only the uncle of An, but also the brother of Xuan Chongming and Mrs. Hao, can not be dealt with at all.

And An Alun, who was in charge of the defense of the Western Front, was An Bangyan's younger brother, and An Wei wanted to dispose of him, but he also threw himself into a trap and did not dare to deal with it.

Now that he is fourteen years old, it is almost time for him to be pro-government, but the current situation makes him unable to pro-government at all.

Because his mother, uncle, and uncle are not good stubble!

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that An's uncle's family was a luxury family, if it weren't for the fact that his uncle Gao Chongming still had an army under his command, and it was in Shuixi, then his position as a consolation envoy or king of Luodian would not have been his.

After the rebellion again, An Bangyan did not dare to call him "King Luodian" again, not because he didn't want to, but because his nephew, the real Shuixi Xuanwei Division, Xuanwei made An Throne and grew up.

And he An Bangyan is just an uncle who is not close to Shuixi Xuan's comfort envoy.

And he is not Anwei's own uncle, he is just the brother of Anwei's father, An Yaochen.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, before Hao Chongming first raised the flag to rebel, the predecessor of the Shuixi Xuanwei Division made An Yaochen die.

At that time, An Yaochen's son An Wei was relatively young, so An Yaochen's wife, that is, An Wei's mother, Mrs. Hao Shehui, was in charge.

This luxury lady, Hao Shehui, is the sister of luxury Chongming.

At the same time, Luxury Chongming's wife is An Bangyan's sister.

Luxury Shehui wants to use the power of the Shuixi clan to support his brother Luxury Chongming, and An Bangyan, who has always been ambitious, also wants to take the opportunity of supporting his brother-in-law Luxury Chongming to grasp the power of Shuixi.

So the two hit it off.

And because of this somewhat complicated kinship between the two, An Bangyan, who was a fellow acquaintance of the Shuixi Xuanwei Division at that time, soon grasped the power of the Shuixi An's clan with the support of Mrs. Luxury's wife, and at the same time tied Shui'an An's clan to the thief ship of Shui Chongming.

The Shuixi clan once produced a heroine in the Hongwu period, that is, the legendary lady of luxury incense who was rumored to be a god.

This Mrs. Xiangxiang, like Mrs. Luxury, is the same as Mrs. Luxury, her mother's family is the luxury family of Yongning Da Tusi in Sichuan, and her husband's family is also the An's family of Shuixi Da Tusi.

It's just that today's Mrs. Luxiang is not as wise as her old aunt and grandmother Mrs. Luxiang more than 200 years ago.

She just thought about pulling in the Shuixian clan to support her brother's achievement of hegemony, but she didn't think about where An Bangyan might take the Shuixi clan if she let An Bangyan grasp the power of Shuixi.

It is also because of such an intricate kinship that after the failure of the rebellion, he led the remnants of the defeated army and fled to seek refuge in the Shuixian clan with his armor abandoned.

However, the arrival of the luxury family generals led by Luxury Chongming also greatly restricted An Bangyan's authority in Shuixi.

It is true that An Bangyan is the brother-in-law of Luxury Chongming, but at the same time, An Wei is Luxury Chongming's nephew.

Extravagant Chongming defected to the Shuixi clan, which can be said to have come to defect to An Bangyan, or it can be said that he came to defect to someone's nephew.

After all, An Wei is the authentic heir of Shuixi Tusi, and the consolation of the brand.

Although it cannot be said that there is a rift between the two because of this, An Bangyan's status is quietly declining, from the "King of Luodian" in the past to the "Four Great Elders" who now "assist" An on the throne of the authentic King of Luodian.

The change in name reflects a change in political status.

However, at this moment, An Bangyan still monopolizes the military and political power of the Shuixian clan.

Therefore, although An Alun's mouth is ostensibly reporting to the titular king, that is, Ji Mu'an of the Yi people in Shuixi, in fact, his eyes are always staring at his brother An Bangyan.

After seeing An Bangyan send a fire, he ordered all the family members and relatives left in Shuixi Zhijin to be hanged.

Ann Alun and Hao Chonghui, who were kneeling in the lobby, were relieved in their hearts at this time.

Although as the two of them, they know that nothing will happen, but they are also worried that An Bangyan, who is becoming more and more moody, will use them to sacrifice the flag and do something righteous to kill their relatives.

"Enni, Arun Panwu, get up!

"Arun Panwu said that Shuixi is dangerous, which is a bit exaggerated and sensational!

"Not to mention that my Shuixi clan still has 100,000 strong troops, even the majestic mountains and rivers and reckless forests and seas on the land of Shuixi are enough to discourage the officers and soldiers!"

Erni means uncle in Yi language.

Pan Wu means Uncle Yi.

An Wei's voice, which still looked a little immature, echoed in the empty lobby of the Xuanwei Mansion.

Then, with a cough behind him, Anwei immediately closed his mouth.

I only heard Mrs. Hao behind the screen say: "The Ming army is pressed by the army, Ji Mu is still young, and the safety of Shuixi is all related to the body of the Great Elder and the King of Liang. ”

After saying this, Mrs. Hao said again: "My son, follow me back to the inner courtyard!" ”

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound behind the screen, apparently the sound of the luxury lady's wife Lu Shehui leaving with the maid and servant.

An Wei looked back at the screen carved with countless phoenixes, and then looked at his uncle Hao Chongming and uncle An Bangyan, and saw that the two of them were expressionless and did not stay, so he slowly got up, took his personal attendants, and reluctantly turned around and left the lobby, leaving Yu Chongming and An Bangyan to discuss military affairs in the lobby of the Propaganda Bureau.

Both of them were ruthless characters who were old in war, and they didn't have any pretenses, and they quickly agreed on a strategy to deal with them.

Hao Chongming personally led more than 15,000 Yi native soldiers of the Hao clan to the north to garrison Datunchang at the junction of Shuixi Xuanwei Division and Lin Zhou to prevent Hou Liangzhu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, from advancing from the north.

An Bangyan took 30,000 native soldiers of the Yi nationality in Shuixi under his command and personally went east to Shuixi City (the county seat of Qianxi in Guizhou in later generations) to guard against the Ming army from the direction of Guiyang and Zunyi.

An Alun continued to go back to Bijie to sit in the town, and the two Tusi Longlu of the Yi Mangbu stationed in the garrison were responsible for protecting the safety of the western line of Shuixi.

The plan has been decided, a few days later, the army in Shuixi was quickly mobilized, and Hao Chongming took his younger brother Hao Chonghui to lead his troops north, and An Bangyan also led an army of 30,000 to Shuixi City, a strategic place in Longchang Jiuyi.
