Chapter 36: The Great Tusi Rebellion
Among the generals in Muwangfu, it is said that Li Dazhen is indeed the best one in terms of bravery. Especially in this place where he likes to speak by force, Li Dazhen can inherently deter those toasts. At the same time, if there is really a battle, he will dare to be the first to rush to the front and take the rank of general in the chaos army.
Because of this, even if he was a little clever and walked between himself and his younger brother, Mu Tianbo had to continue to use him. Otherwise, if it is placed on a prince or ruler, such a disloyal person will not be reused, even if it cannot be eliminated.
This time, it was precisely because he had to take care of his younger brother that he was sent out.
But what Mu Tianbo didn't know was that although Li Dazhen was brave and good at fighting, he was also vulgar and brutal, simply put, he liked to go on a rampage, but he would not consider the consequences. If you used to fight behind Mu Tianbo, it would be okay to use it just as a rush. But now to let him be in charge is the biggest mistake.
In history, Zhang Xianzhong captured Sichuan, and Mu Tianbo also sent him out to sit in the town. But he didn't want to make Wu Bikui rebel because of his sitting, or to force this Tusi, who was originally cautious and always thought he was a hero of the Ming Dynasty, to rebel.
It's just that now Sichuan is in the hands of Zhang Hongbin, and Zhang Xianzhong is in Guizhou. And in terms of time, Zhang Xianzhong went south after 1644, and now it is only 1637, a difference of seven years.
Who knew that history was still so similar, seven years in advance, Sichuan fell into the hands of anti-thieves, and Mu Tianbo sent Li Dazhen to sit on the front line.
The difference is the reason, the former is to defend against the Great Western troops heading south, and the latter is to intercept the goodwill ambassadors sent by the Republic.
This so-called goodwill ambassador is temporarily served by Zhao Yu, or by someone he sent. After all, he is an ethnic minority himself, so it will be much easier to contact the ethnic minority Tusi in Yunnan. Not to mention that he, a people who have been wandering in the mountains and forests for a long time, knows many ways to bypass the main road to Yunnan.
After the first intimate contact, the toasts of Yunnan also began to become willing to contact with the Chinese People's Republic. After all, the Republic brought a lot of daily necessities and even medicines that they continued to have, which could not only cure the miasma of tobacco dysentery in a wild place like Yunnan, but also alleviate the embarrassment of the Tusi.
Such a good thing is naturally welcomed by everyone, so after Zhao Yu enters Yunnan, there will even be Yunnan Tusi to greet him. In fact, among the many toasts, Wu Bikui is one of them, especially his territory Wuding Mansion Yuanmou is closest to the border, and is naturally one of the first people to benefit.
Not long ago, Wu Bikui had just received the envoy sent by Zhao Yu, and got a batch of table salt and a batch of sophisticated spears and machetes. The former is lacking in anyone, and even if you don't need to sell it, you can sell it for a good price, after all, it is not the common coarse salt mixed with sand, but the fine snow salt that is not mixed with sand at all. As for the spear and machete, not to mention, the quality is much better than the weapons they can get, not to mention self-preservation, and it is convenient to take people out to grab territory.
That person's money is naturally to help people.
Wu Bikui naturally knew that Zhao Yu was paving the way for that republic when he became this goodwill ambassador, and the purpose was to let that republic enter Yunnan one day.
Indeed, as a native of Yunnan, Wu Bikui was more accustomed to the rule of the Mu Palace. After all, it has a long history, and Mu Wangfu is also kind to them, so when they get used to a good master, no one wants to change to a new master who doesn't know his temper, which is too insecure.
But this can't help, Wu Bikui can still help somewhere else.
For example, to help clean up the bandits on the road, I don't deny that they have planned to clean up this for a long time, and now they are just selling it to the republic by the way. For example, it is okay to receive a goodwill mission to the south, and send someone to help escort it or something.
Since then, in the year of the Apocalypse, he helped to quell the rebellion, and he was a big toast in Yunnan, and in Yunnan, one acre and three points of land, except for Mu Wangfu, no one dared to say the third. It's precisely because he is a meritorious man of the Ming Dynasty that he doesn't play the rebellion, but it's always okay to take something from those scattered wealth boys, right?
There are more and more things, and Wu Bikui's mood is constantly changing. He saw the great financial power of the republic and, more importantly, the promises given.
In general, he will not lose much, but what he gets can make his life several times more comfortable than it is now.
Especially qualified to enter the Congress, he can't calm down. Maybe he also knows that he may not be able to enter in his lifetime, but he has a son, and a son has a grandson. As long as the promise of the republic can be fulfilled, then God knows if there will be a cabinet elder in his own family?
Elder Ge! In the Ming Dynasty, a toast master like them is at most a soil emperor, and he can't enter the cabinet at all, even if he has enough talent. Da Ming, what is particular about 'non-our race will have different hearts', hold them high, but don't give them real power, otherwise, if there is a chance, who will be so relieved to be a soil emperor in a remote corner?
I was thinking about whether to agree to Zhao Yu as this internal response, or contact others to make a fuss internally.
But he didn't want Li Dazhen's gang to bring enough men and horses to camp around his own territory. Well, the other party is from Mu Wangfu, and he has not directly entered his territory, so Wu Bikui doesn't want to be troubled in order to stiffen his relationship with Mu Wangfu. But at the same time, I was thinking: What is this Li Dazhen doing here? I always feel that he has never been happy here!
Sure enough, three days later, when the Goodwill Ambassadors were heading south again, they were ambushed on the way.
The members of the ambassador group finally escaped, and their side lost more than 30 sons and daughters in order to protect the supplies. Worst of all, the supplies were all snatched.
Later, it was investigated that it was actually this Li Mangfu who did this kind of thing! The reason is very simple, investigate and deal with the spies of enemy countries on the border. No, the weapons of the empire were taken out as captured, proving that this was a group of spies armed and threatening to Yunnan. At the same time, I also hope that the toasts will help pay attention, if you find a spy, please be sure to do your best to report, and there will be a reward in Muwangfu.
In fact, many people are complaining: there are more benefits to not reporting!
Not to mention Wu Bikui, can thirty human lives be erased so lightly? Not to mention that when he watched Li Dazhen put the materials into his pocket, Wu Bikui even wanted to yell: "TMD, that's my thing, it's my thing!" ”
"Forget it, don't be serious with the people of Mu Wangfu......" Wu Bikui's generals persuaded one after another.
Okay, bear with me! Wu Bikui decided to back down for the time being to see how Mu Wangfu's further actions were.
But he didn't want to, this reckless man insisted that he had something to do with the spies, and sent people to hang out in his territory three times and twice. I am a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty did not give a reasonable reward back then, which has made people very angry, why are you a little Mu Wangfu general, and you are actually embarrassed to bully me?
It's like a barrel of dynamite, the power is accumulating little by little, just waiting for a wire.
Finally, the wire also appeared......
One day, Li Dazhen's people entered Wu Bikui's territory to search again, and it turned out that a certain Qiu Ba fell in love with a girl who went out to pick tea. The rest of the matter is simple, a few ruffians pulled the girl closer to a certain bush, and when they were done, they killed the girl by the way, but they didn't want to be discovered by a hunter who was hunting.
This hunter did not immediately come forward to ask, but made a heartfelt look and quietly left it back to report to Wu Bikui.
"Good! Cutting off my wealth is like killing my parents, and now I actually kill my people, if I can bear this shame, am I still a man? Wu Bikui finally broke out.
As in history, the rebellion was announced for the first time, and this was officially announced only after the night attack on the barracks killed Li Dazhen.
Relying on the weapons obtained from the Huaxia People's Republic and the help of the surrounding ethnic minorities, Li Dazhen first took down Yuanmou, and then took the entire Wuding Mansion, and after separating one side, he officially opened the passage to the south and put in the 50,000 troops who had just come to the border.
At the same time, Mengzi's Sha Dingzhou also raised the flag to rebel, one is because his brother Sha Tongtian is under Zhao Yu, and he has also made a lot of money these days. Seeing that the people of the Chinese People's Republic can enjoy such a good life, a fool will stay in Yunnan and suffer!
Shadingzhou rebelled, conquered the two prefectures of Mengzi and Ami, and announced that it would throw itself into the arms of the Chinese People's Republic.
With the example of the two of them, more Tusi began to rebel, and suddenly Mu Wangfu became embattled.
After receiving the news, Mu Tianbo was furious and secretly said that he didn't know anyone...... But he forgot how much material Li Dazhen gave him and Mu Tianping in the process of garrisoning. At that time, he also praised Li Dazhen, saying that he was a 'loyal general'.
"Brother, now is not the time to be angry, there are 50,000 puppet troops in the north, and 5,000 barbarians in Shadingzhou in the southeast, where should we go? As far as my brother can see, at least we have to avoid its edge first, and the 50,000-strong army will be there from Wuding Mansion to our Kunming, and the journey will be very soon. "Mu Tianping is rare and has a little insight.
But he proposed to avoid his sharp edge, and it can also be seen that he was scared and wanted to run.
"Let the people below clean up and go to Chu Xiong to avoid his edge. As for you and me, take 30,000 horses and go south to destroy Shadingzhou first. I want to sue the local people, in Yunnan, this acre and three points of land, my Mu Wangfu is not easy to bully! After frustrating the spirit of these toasts, he will go north, so that it will be easier to deal with the troops of the puppet dynasty, at least not many toasts will dare to stand by his side openly. Mu Tianbo thought for a while and said.
"Yes!" Mu Tianping naturally has no opinion.
