Peng's Tusi is not afraid of war, and some people in the court are also eager to try, but this does not mean that anyone dares to provoke war.

Once the war starts, it will require the imperial court to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and a complete blockade of the four provinces of Miaojiang, otherwise it will be extremely difficult for the imperial court to end up in the end, but such a decision can never be made lightly.

There must be many people in the imperial court who have the idea of gradually implementing the reform of the land and returning to the stream, and try to avoid war, but in this way, it is not known when it will be implemented in the whole territory of Miaojiang.

Moreover, there are many problems in how to select and dispatch the officials needed to change the land and return to the stream, and how to garrison troops in Miaojiang, and they cannot be achieved overnight, so if it is implemented slowly, it is estimated that even after another 30 years, there will be no obvious results.

This is obviously not in line with the expectations of some people in the court, some people can't wait that long, thirty years later, except for the emperor who may be replaced, the other important ministers in the court will have long been different, so how can the big guys in the court allow to wait for such a long time.

Xiao Yao also knows that it is an extremely difficult but extremely tempting policy to change the land and return it to the stream, and it is tempting to think about the taxation of the four provinces of Miaojiang.

Once the greedy desire starts, it will be difficult to end, and the officials sent will definitely squeeze the civilians of all ethnic groups in Miao Xinjiang downwards and lie about all kinds of merits upwards. At that time, Miao Jiang will really be turned upside down, and there will be no peace.

"Little prince, I just don't know how many wars this ancient city of Xizhou has experienced?" Xiao Yao began to run to the more central question.

Xiao Yao wanted to test how determined the Peng Toast was to fight, and how much pressure they could bear.

Once the war starts, Xizhou is very likely to be lost, then Peng's Tusi is equivalent to losing the most critical territory, although it can be transferred to the surrounding mountains, but once the war drags on for a long time, various changes may occur, and Miaojiang, which has been relatively peaceful for a long time, must have not experienced such a big war for a long time.

If Peng's Tusi wanted to finally obtain a favorable result in the war, he would inevitably choose to introduce the war into Miaojiang, and once the imperial court started a war, it would have a reason to go deep into Miaojiang to pacify various rebel forces.

Therefore, as soon as this war began, it was destined to spread throughout the four provinces of Miao Xinjiang and protracted unless one side took the initiative to withdraw.

And Peng's Tusi obviously did not have the capital to take the initiative to retreat, so there was only a protracted war to force the court to retreat, and the four major Tusi admitted their mistakes to the court in name, but in fact they wanted to obtain all kinds of more preferential pension policies from the court.

It is estimated that this is Peng's plan now, but since the imperial court has the idea of changing the land and returning to the stream, the four major toasts will take this step sooner or later.

"Xizhou has gone through thousands of years of ups and downs, but it is still vibrant, and it is really a rare treasure of feng shui." Peng Shan replied immediately.

Peng Shan's words are simply saying that even if the imperial court is gone, Xizhou City will still be there, the imperial court has changed a few, but their Peng family toast has stood for thousands of years.

Xiao Yao was a little shocked by Peng Shan's self-confidence, but think about it, if the imperial court wants to break the thousand-year-old Peng's toast, it is not possible to lose two teeth, and the most important thing is to lose the teeth, and it may not succeed.

Xiao Yao knew that the current situation was that the imperial court coveted Miao Jiang and regarded Miao Jiang as the best source of replenishment of treasury revenue, and the four major Tusi of Miao Jiang would not support this, and the Peng Tusi who bore the brunt of it now has a clear position.

And Kang Qincha's death gave the imperial court an opportunity to start a war, or force the four major toasts to start a war first.

It's just that how to use this opportunity now will test the political wisdom of those people in the DPRK and China.

It is estimated that Kang Qincha's greatest contribution to this trip to the southwest is to exchange his death for this rare opportunity for the imperial court.

Peng's Tusi, who has now stood for thousands of years, said that he would not take the initiative to give up his rights, so what will the imperial court do?

Maybe Dewey will know some inside information, but it is difficult for him to find out, Deweyla joined the shadow guard himself, but he only valued his martial arts, and he took a fancy to himself and did not belong to the prime minister's faction.

But that didn't mean that Dewey would abandon his political stance against the long-awaited war that many in the court had been waiting for.

Now that I have decided to help Peng Shan and Peng's Tusi, there are two ways, one of which is to maintain the status quo in Miaojiang, drag the problem first, and find a way to solve the problem of winter grain for the main tribes in Miaojiang this year. Because even if they won the war in Pengshan in the end, they still controlled their original four provinces of Miaojiang, and it was difficult to get out of Miaojiang.

Second, once the war starts, how to help Peng Shan and them survive the most difficult early stage of the war, as long as the war goes deep into the hinterland of Miao Xinjiang and enters the stage of stalemate, then the shape will continue to transform in the direction of Peng's toast.

"Little prince, what the people want and where the righteousness lies, is not the millennium of Xizhou City, but the millennium of the people of Xizhou." Xiao Yao began to guide Peng Shan.

This Xizhou city is dead, but the people in Xizhou are alive, as long as the people in it are saved, there is no difficulty in building a Xizhou city, and how to protect the people of Xizhou City, it is useless to avoid war, only by sticking to a war, can we unite the people of Xizhou.

The army sent by the imperial court will definitely hope to win the first battle, and in one go, they will go straight to Phoenix Mountain, and finally pacify the four major Tusi.

At present, the so-called garrisons of the imperial court in the four provinces of Miaojiang are all on the periphery, so they only play the role of surveillance, but the actual four provinces of Miaojiang are the autonomy of the Miao people.

It's just that the Miao people have always been scattered into many large and small tribes, and there has never been a unified leadership, since this is the case, whoever unites the hearts of the Miao people will win the initiative in the war, as for the imperial court thinking that if the grain transported to Miao Xinjiang from the Central Plains is cut off, it can force Miao Jiang to comply, that is because the imperial court forgot how the Miao people survived many years ago when they did not buy grain from the Central Plains.

Maybe this coming winter will be more sad, but as long as we survive this winter, reduce the population of tea planters, and grow a large amount of grain, Miaojiang will basically be self-sufficient in terms of food rations.

The imperial court's calculations may be very shrewd, but it ignores the fact that no nation likes to be ruled by other peoples, no matter how high-sounding your reasons are, and the same is true for all ethnic groups in Miaojiang.

As long as Peng's Tusi is allowed to tide over the difficulties with the people of Miaojiang at this critical stage, then even if Xizhou is lost, it will be just around the corner to recapture Xizhou.

"Brother Xiao, people's hearts will change, and the peace of the past two hundred years has long made many people forget how to fight." Peng Shan finally said what he was most worried about.

Xizhou has been peaceful for a long time, and the people of Li have long not known what war is, and Miao Jiang has limited financial resources, and the number of troops is also very limited, even if it is King Miao, the army directly under him is only 4,000 people, and although Peng's Tusi is better than King Miao, even if you count the patrol guards who maintain law and order, you can only barely gather enough troops of about 30,000.

Moreover, since these armies have not fought for a long time, the training can be imagined, and it is okay to use them to exterminate bandits.

And the battalion soldiers of the Jiangnan battalion of the imperial court are stationed in Huzhou, and they can come along the river at any time to attack Xizhou, so Xizhou can only be fortified by the city.

Fortunately, there is a mountain behind the city, so there is no need to worry about being surrounded, but with these existing guards of the Peng Clan's Tusi, holding the city will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

And for a long period of peace, the people in the city can't have any combat ability at all, and how can they have any substantial help for the defense of Xizhou, I'm afraid that in the early stage of the war, they will have to rely on the independent support of Peng's Tusi, and the other three Tusi are estimated not to dare to rashly send troops to aid Xizhou.

Even if the three major Tusi would come to the aid of Xizhou, the front of Xizhou was a semi-plain and semi-hilly area, which was very conducive to the deployment of the heavy armored cavalry of the imperial court, and the limited cavalry of the various divisions of Miaojiang was only light cavalry. In Miaojiang, there is no tribe equipped with cavalry equipped with Xuantie heavy armor, and the reinforcements who come to Xizhou must also be sheep in the mouth of the tiger, and there is no return.

Of course, Xiao Yao understands what Peng Shan is worried about, after all, many of the Turkish people here are even directly branches of their Peng Tusi, breaking bones and connecting tendons, if the war starts, many of these people will inevitably lose their lives in the war, for the Turkish people in Xizhou, it is simply a catastrophe. But Xiao Yao couldn't shake Peng's Toast's determination to resist.

Because once surrendered, the Pengshan family may still be prosperous and rich, but the people of Xizhou will not be so lucky, those officials who come for the wealth of Miaojiang will never rest here, but will only from the perspective of increasing the income of the treasury, the people of all ethnic groups in Miaojiang will be like leeks, harvesting stubble by stubble.

In this way, the various ethnic groups in Miao Xinjiang will re-enter a more chaotic state, and it is estimated that many people can only hide in the 100,000 mountains in order to make a living.

Xiao Yao knows this, and Peng Shan also knows this, but Peng Shan needs to feel the pain of this kind of war firsthand, but Xiao Yao is just a bystander, which is not only a difference in perspective, but also a difference in the position of the two.

Xiao Yao didn't like Peng's growing ambitions, but he didn't want the ambitions of those people in the court to succeed, today it was Miao Jiang, and tomorrow he didn't know where it was.

Judging from the current economic development of Miaojiang, we know that the imperial court has no intention of implementing an enlightened government in Miaojiang, and I am afraid that it is only coveting the existing wealth of Miaojiang.

But once this wealth is snatched away and squeezed out by the imperial court, where will the people of all ethnic groups in Miaojiang go, it is estimated that they can only run into the mountains to fend for themselves.
