Chapter 35: Yunnan Muwangfu

When it comes to Yunnan in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the first thing that comes to mind is Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi...... "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is too famous and there is no way to do it.

After Wu Sangui, he will think of the 'Mu Wangfu' in Yunnan, Yongzhen Town, Daming, which is the real 'King of Yunnan' in Daming, and the family has been hereditary for 280 years. It's a pity that in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", 'Mu Wangfu' is already an underground anti-Qing organization, and it is completely a dragon-level storage zĂ i. The only contribution was to provide Wei Xiaobao with two wives and concubines.

At this moment, Yunnan Mu Wangfu is still in the hands of the Mu family, and the person in power is Mu Tianbo.

During the Mu Tianbo period, Yunnan basically maintained a stable state, and it can be said that it was the only place in the chaotic Ming Dynasty that did not suffer from the disaster of swords. However, after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan, a series of problems arose, and finally Mu Tianbo had to follow Emperor Nanming to escape into Burma for refuge. The once-prosperous Mu Wangfu was also completely broken.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong's entry into Sichuan was the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, in 1640 AD. Now that the trajectory of history has completely changed, Zhang Xianzhong can't even go past Huguang, so he can only build his Daxi regime in Guizhou, and then wait for an opportunity to invade Guangxi and Guangdong. It's a pity that he hasn't occupied Guangxi yet, and Li Zicheng has occupied Guangxi first.

The reason is very simple, Zhang Xianzhong, a border army, has realized the importance of firearms and began to find ways to manufacture firearms into the era of thermal weapons warfare. And Li Zicheng because he has no power himself, in order to improve his power as quickly as possible, he adopted the locust tactics that are customary to the rogues, recklessly coerced the people to rebel, and finally sacrificed most of the people, he conquered Guangxi and became the actual ruler here.

Zhang Xianzhong also had some opinions on this, but seeing that the study of firearms had just reached a critical moment, he did not plan to go south to deal with Li Zicheng for the time being.

Besides, earlier, the rogues had agreed that whoever defeated the state capitals of the Ming Dynasty would be whoever was defeated. Now that Li Zicheng has beaten down, it is not good for him to violate the agreement. In other words, all the rogues at this moment, to put it bluntly, there are only four forces left: him, Lao Huihui, Cao Cao and Li Zicheng. In the whole world, they belong to the four weakest forces.

The Ming Dynasty and the People's Republic of China are obviously not their friends, so if they do not form a group, they will easily suffer an extermination blow.

It is ironic that the agreement that was originally tried in every possible way to get rid of it has now become a talisman for all kinds of rogues. It was precisely because of this agreement that Zhang Xianzhong was temporarily unable to get Li Zicheng, so he could only find a way to launch an attack on Yunnan. He didn't dare to enter Sichuan, and he didn't plan to provoke the giant beast of the Chinese People's Republic.

However, at this stage, Zhang Xianzhong has no intention of entering Yunnan, and Yunnan is still in a peaceful stage.

It's just that as the only local territory left in Daming, Mu Tianbo also wants to do something. Especially as the Tusi of Sichuan began to accept the change of land and the status of the governor of the Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, Mu Tianbo felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

In his opinion, today they can win over the toasts in Sichuan, and soon they can win over the toasts in Yunnan. After all, according to ethnic groups, Yunnan also has many compatriots from ethnic minorities in Sichuan. Compatriots are generally very good at talking, and as long as they are guided a little and give a little benefit, then it is easy to rebel.

"Big brother, I can't wait any longer. If this continues, the Tusi recruited by the puppet dynasty will completely envelop the Tusi of Yunnan. When they make trouble together, we will be unlucky. Mu Tianping said anxiously.

The proportion of Han Chinese in Yunnan is very small, and more are ethnic minorities. Ethnic minorities are also mainly governed by Tusi, which can be regarded as a group of guys who listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement. Of course, there are also some loyal people among them, such as Wu Bikui, who sent troops to help quell the chaos during the Apocalypse.

But no one can deny that the means of the puppet dynasty are something that Mu Wangfu and even the Ming Dynasty cannot do. All sorts of novelties, all sorts of much-needed things. The toast in various places was softened by a little bit of corrosion, and even what they got made Mu Wangfu red-eyed.

Yunnan is located in a place of deviation, and no one wants to come here to do business, so it is rare to get some good things, which are sold at sky-high prices. But these things are the ancient tea and horse road, which is constantly transported to various toasts in Sichuan, as a symbol of friendship in the early stage, so how can Mu Wangfu be able to hold it?

"So, what do you say you want to do? Let those toasts return the gifts they received, or should we send them a better gift? Mu Tianbo also had a headache.

He knew that Zhang Hongbin was a big tyrant, and in order to get Yunnan, he could spend a lot of money. The value of those things is not cheap, in his opinion, Zhang Hongbin is only afraid that in order to be able to do his best, and at the same time the lowest consumption to win Yunnan, he is afraid that most of this year's tax revenue will be invested. But other people's annual taxes, anyway, are also the land of three provinces, and they are in a remote Yunnan, and the taxes are enough or there is a slight balance, but it is said that it is such a big flower, then I can only be sorry.

"In the name of preventing the invasion of the rogue and the puppet dynasty, send people to garrison the border and find a way to seize these gifts. As long as things are done in secret, then the toasts feel that the puppet dynasty has given so many gifts before, and now they don't continue to give them, and they will not continue to befriend them when they are angry. And we can also get a lot of supplies, right? Mu Tianping gave a good idea.

"That's one way...... Who to send? Mu Tianbo raised his eyebrows and looked at his younger brother with interest.

Obviously, Mu Tianping may not be selfish when he gives this mention.

"This ...... Brother, you are the head of Mu Wangfu, who to send is naturally up to you, right? Besides, we are a family, will we still lose my brother and I can't drink a mouthful of soup? Mu Tianping's small abacus was seen through, and he could only give up his interests immediately.

But it's not that there is no backhand, at least the 'brother' who keeps saying it is implying that Mu Tianbo will give him some benefits appropriately.

"yes...... We are brothers, if the brothers are not united, the Mu Wangfu will be over. Mu Tianbo said with emotion.

A few years ago, my husband passed away, and I became the new prince of Qianguo. He still remembers that his old man said at that time: "Your other brothers are all waste bags who can only be greedy for small and cheap, only Mu Tianping is still a little smart, he can use it if he can, and if he can't use it, let him be like other brothers, just have something to eat." But you have to remember that you are the elder brother, you have something to eat, at least let those younger brothers have a porridge to drink, otherwise I will not forgive your ......"

"Yes, send Li Dazhen to guard the town." Mu Tianbo thought about it, and still named the name of the general Li Dazhen.

This guy doesn't like it very much, but he is also good at fighting, and the most important thing is that he is a little clever and walks between himself and his younger brother Mu Tianping. Under normal circumstances, this person will not need to use it if he can, but in this situation, it is just right to send him. First of all, he still obeys his orders, and secondly, he will also give some benefits to his younger brother appropriately, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

But he didn't want to, his decision still brought disaster to Mu Wangfu in the end.
