Chapter 246: The Return of Yizhou (4)
The battle didn't last long, and the Maroon tribe had already lost most of their fighting power and all their courage in the previous battle. They hid in caves, hoping that the officers and soldiers would not find them, and not that they wanted to continue to resist.
When the men and horses of the five-colored sails shouted and attacked, these tribes of the horses did not even have the courage to make a counterattack, but knelt on the ground and raised their hands.
This final battle, unexpectedly smooth, captured more than seven hundred captives, and the entire Maroon tribe has completely disappeared, and there is not a single one left. Li Yanqing said to everyone:
"Ganzai? Ma Long, known as Lonely, is one of the sins, vainly trying to divide one side, establishing himself as the second sin of the king, refusing to submit to the court, and resisting the third sin of the great tomorrow. The three sins are one, and they should be beheaded. If any of his family members have fled to your territories, please send them to the government, and they will be rewarded. Those who conceal and fail to report are guilty of the same crime. Come on, push Marlon up. ”
This former majestic and commanding the king of Yizhou is now unkempt and depressed. Especially when he heard that his son had been killed by officers and soldiers, and saw that the last stronghold had been uprooted, he knew that there was no hope of revenge, and he let out a heart-rending wail.
He used his own language to curse Li Yanqing with the most vicious curse, but unfortunately before he could curse a few words, a brocade guard smashed it with a knife handle, knocking out several of his teeth, and he screamed in pain and couldn't scold. Li Yanqing said loudly: "Originally, I wanted to deport him to Beijing and let the Son of Heaven dispose of him. However, considering the traffic problem, it is better to cut it on the spot. Someone's coming. Do it. ”
A carefully selected executioner, shirtless, with a thick-backed ghost-headed knife, came over. But when he saw the head of the knife flashing, the head fell to the ground, and a cavity of dirty blood sprayed wildly. This Yizhou land king can be regarded as having completely completed his life course. Then, more than 20 people from the Maroon tribe were singled out and pulled to the side to accompany the beheading.
Li Yanqing said to Jiang Luan again: "You translate it for them." All of them have sinned, and they should all be put to death. But the court has the virtue of a good life, and gives them a way to reform themselves. What they're going to do. It is to build houses and cities for the imperial court. If anyone dares to run away. Or with the intent to riot. I will not ask who is guilty and who is not, I will only choose some of them to kill. The number of people killed is determined by the size of the crime. If someone can report it, who wants to escape. Whoever wants to rebel, I will relieve him of his status as a slave and give him a little land. This is the combination of reward and punishment, reward and punishment. ”
In the evening of the same day, a celebratory banquet was held in this sacred mountain of the Maroon tribe. Dozens of young women among the captives were selected to sing and dance. When Li Yanqing came, the ship was loaded with 100 jars of good wine, and it was also taken out to entertain the leaders.
These leaders saw that the men and horses of the Ming Dynasty were neatly dressed and armored, and their weapons were sharp. The heart is afraid of three points. Looking at their generous shots, I feel envious. In the past, Malone said that they were robbers and that they had come here to rob things. But they are much richer than themselves, can they look at their own things?
They have silver, they have gold. The cash that was given to the soldiers was put down on the spot. The bounty was several times more than the ridiculous savings of his own tribe.
As for grain, can they bring boatloads of rice or snow-white salt and sugar, and use them to rob themselves? Look at the women again. Their women are also more beautiful than the women of their own tribe. It seems that they have nothing to lose when they come.
As soon as the suspicion was gone, the attitude of these people was more enthusiastic, and some people took the initiative to ask the lynx to translate on their behalf, and said attentively: "The imperial court wants to repair the house?" This is easy to do, our tribe still has young and strong, and when we turn around, we will send them to work for the imperial court, and we will bring our own rations. ”
Li Yanqing smiled and toasted the head man with a glass of wine, and motioned for a woman to sit down with the head man.
"Is there a young man? A good thing. The imperial court is now to be young and strong, and the more the better. If you are going to have rations, you don't need to pay for them, but the court will pay for them. As long as you are out of the house, it would be fine, but the ugly words are said in the front, the court building a house is not the same thing as your tribe building a house. The amount of labor is large, and people will work very hard, and those who dare to disobey orders will have to eat the whip. ”
"It's easy to say, it's good to say, to do things for the court, as it should be. In our tribe, the punishment for the lazy is far worse than the whip, don't worry, the lord, they are used to it. ”
The carnival lasted until the second half of the night, and the leaders and leaders who had drunk too much couldn't help but pull the dancing women aside and roll in one place. Li Yanqing returned to the tent with Qingyun Nuanxue in her arms, but she didn't want Hong Simei to lean on the gum of teeth, and her shirt was half-untied.
"These two Nizi can't be favored alone, I am a great contributor to the pacification of Yizhou, don't want to throw me down."
The scenery of this night made Qingyun and warm snow ashamed to see people the next day. Hong Simei was generous, and the whole person was tired of being in Li Yanqing's arms, and looked at the flowers as if she had declared war
"Husband, this person is just annoying, they are all old husbands and wives, and they still need to ask for a lot, what can I do, I can't push it out if I want to. But don't say it, Fujun's methods this time are really good, and the natives of the entire Yizhou are afraid that they will not dare to have different intentions this time. ”
Hua Xixiang still covered herself tightly, and her demeanor was much more dignified. She pointed to the account book and said, "If you look at the harvest of a single dispatch, we have lost. There is no spoils of war in this Yizhou, and it is far from making up for military spending. But if we look at it from the perspective of an old camp out of thin air, we have made a lot of money. In particular, sugarcane can be produced here, and if it is paired with our sugar factory, we will not worry about earning back the capital. But we are outsiders after all, and we have to find a way to gain a foothold here. ”
"The way, naturally, is to fight one faction and pull another." Li Yanqing leaned back on the chair proudly
"The geographical advantage they can rely on is no longer there. As for the people, I will send them Langzhong, and then I will send people to teach them to farm. It is to use our culture and education to naturalize them. Besides, I proposed a plan of 20,000 taels of silver to build Yizhou, and these local people only saw a lot of money, but they didn't expect that after receiving my money, they had to do it according to my rules. ”
Hua Xixiang said: "I am very familiar with your methods. ”
"This is how the Heavenly Maiden Sect swallowed your Wushan Sect back then, and when my people infiltrated their respective tribes, any secret paths and paths were useless. If anyone refuses to listen to me, I will provoke war among their tribes, and I will benefit from it, and I will not believe that I will not be able to deal with the little natives. ”
"The natives are easy to deal with, but what about the Yi people? The island of Yizhou has a good topography and fertile land. A large amount of sugar cane can also be produced, so I am afraid that the Yi people will also come to seize the island. ”
"Yiren. To deal with the Yi people, you still have to use the Yi people. At least none of our people will build a multi-sided fort, and no one will build a fort. These things have to wait for the Buddha Yi of Gong Changdu to arrive, and then make sense, I have already sent people, and in a few days, they should be gone. What needs to be done now is to get those native chieftains to jointly submit a letter and ask for annexation. (To be continued)
