In the camp outside Loushan Pass, Zheng Guobao, He En, Song Shichen and several others pushed the cup and changed the glass, and the wine was strong. There were very few participants at this banquet, except for a few envoys from Banzhou, only Zheng Guobao, Zeng Xingwu, and a few noble children.

First, this matter is done secretly, and outsiders don't know the news. Second, these Banzhou envoys came here to purchase goods, and Zheng Guobao, as the commander of the three armed forces, took the lead in smuggling, which is also in line with his consistent image, and will not arouse suspicion, so he will not leak the news. Looking at the long list of purchases, Zheng Guobao said: "This Yang Chaodong has such a big appetite." Armor, medicinal herbs, salt, grain and grass, and this fast gun, I said, how many of you in Banzhou can put fast guns, buy this thing, except for being a burning stick, what else can it be used? Shoot people down with a round, which is not as good as an iron rod. ”

Ho En smiled, "Qin Cha said with a smile." Yang Yinglong's wolf ambition is called lonely, and his children do not have a good thing, which is also God's retribution for him. Yang Chaodong has been resentful for a long time, and wants to sit on the pseudo-prince and compete with several of his siblings. This time, he was ordered to sit in Loushanguan to fight against the heavenly soldiers, which made him think in his heart, and wanted to rely on this strength as the capital of the start, drive his brothers down, and sit on the throne himself. In fact, during this period of time, he made a wish to us to win over us to support him to succeed to the throne, and promised that as long as we supported him, after he took the throne in the future, he would return all the things that were taken from us. Since then, several families have shared glory and disgrace, blessing and misfortune. He bought these things, not so much against the imperial court, but against his own brother. ”

Song Shichen also said: "That's right. Salt is better than silver in our places. Those Hmong people trade. You may not be willing to ask for our silver, as long as cloth, salt, and recently a hibiscus has been added. Yang Yinglong bribed the Miao people with salt and made the Miao people work for him. Yang Chaodong did the same, so he also wanted to hoard more salt and use it to buy the Miao people and deal with his brothers. Those armor and fast guns are also for him to expand the strength of his subordinates. It doesn't matter if those quick guns don't make it, as long as they can scare his brother's own soldiers, it will be enough to satisfy him. Tian Zhenbiao is also in Loushanguan now. He is the elder brother of the Tian family. In his hand, he held the Imperial Guards in his hands. Yang Chaodong always guards against him from doing it to himself, with these armor and fast guns, he can suppress Tian Zhenbiao, so that he does not dare to use fire. ”

"Oh. It turns out that the Yang family still has such a good show. Several families share honor and disgrace. That sounds like a lot better than the court's treatment. I don't know why a few people refuse to believe him, and are willing to go to the court? "Although this is a killing scenery, it is actually true. This is also the core of the problem. After all, the ancestors of these people in front of them are all old ministers who followed Yang Duan in Banzhou to expand his territory, and they can be regarded as witnesses of the rise and fall of the Yang family in Banzhou. Many of them were the chiefs of the five divisions at the beginning, and the heroes among the seven surnames, if they talked about feelings, they were undoubtedly closer to the Banzhou Yang family. And they are more willing to recognize their identity as a remnant of the Tang Dynasty, and regard Li Tang as Zhengshuo, and they do not agree very much with the Ming court.

He En's face was straight, "Qincha, what you asked makes sense." It's just Yang Chaodong's words, Yang Duan also said it to my ancestors back then. The result? Up to now, Yang Yinglong regards my generation as a mustard, killing if he wants to, and dismissing the official if he wants to dismiss the official. Later, they took away the land in the hands of several of our families, so that our children had no foundation to live on. Yang Chaodong insulted my daughters like child's play, when did he see us as important ministers in his heart? We don't want to believe his words at all. Besides, relying on the homeless beggars in his hands, he still wants to achieve great things, which is simply a fool's dream. I have tens of thousands of people in the He family, and I can't risk their lives to fight for the future of this madman. Qin Cha rest assured, as long as you promise not to destroy my clans after breaking the state, we will help you destroy the Yang family, and there will be no regrets. ”

The rest of the delegates also stood up and saluted: "If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”

"What are you guys doing? If you have something to say, sit down and say, don't be so restrained. Since your heart is towards the court, I naturally want to show mercy to my subordinates, so you can rest assured. The court will never kill innocents, anyone who knows how to advance and retreat, knows the benefits and harms, can get the whole clan, if it is evil, it will naturally be severely punished, this is the reward and punishment are clear. In the future, the imperial court will change the land in Banzhou, which is a matter of determination, and it cannot be changed. But a few rest assured, rules are dead, people are alive. In terms of the appointment and dismissal of the officials, the officials can also speak in it, haha, of course, I don't guarantee that what I say will work, but they also have to refer to my opinions, right? As long as you make great contributions, I will protect you in the future. At the beginning of the establishment of the Liuguan in Banzhou, it is still necessary to select a group of people who are familiar with the people's customs and conditions, know the geography, and are loyal to the imperial court, and it is reasonable to serve as the first batch of Liuguan. ”

Several leaders knew that there was no difference between the right to build and the right to decide, and the uncle of the future Son of Heaven, what he said didn't count, who said it? After the land was changed and returned, the privileges of several families in the past were no longer there, and the direction of future development was to strive to become the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty, so that they could enjoy wealth and prosperity and enjoy the countryside. If you can appoint a few Banzhou officials and promote a group of protégés and former officials, after these people take the position in the future, they can also take care of themselves, and this life will be better.

Song Shichen and the others looked at each other and sent the gifts that had already been prepared. "Qin sent from Beijing to Banzhou, experienced wind and frost, suffered all the bumps, all of which are our sins. These worthless local products are a little of our mind, and they are used to nourish the body, and I hope you will not dislike them. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Now that a few of you know the world, let's talk. This time to capture Loushan Pass, you have to contribute. As long as we can take the level down, we will be able to fight the battle in the future. If this battle is not smooth, it will be difficult to do the rest of the matter. Of the thirteen checkpoints, seven of them are up to you, and the remaining six are up to you to lead the way and show the way. ”

The leaders of several families know in their hearts that this so-called guiding path, even if it is a pretext, is nothing more than asking the children of a few families to act as cannon fodder to reduce the casualties of the officers and soldiers. This kind of damage will not be too little, but it is better than the annihilation. After all, among the people who led the troops this time, there was Zeng Shengwu, who was famous for killing people, and if he really killed him in Banzhou, several surnames might also be killed like all the barbarians. Therefore, no one had the words to agree, but no one hesitated.

After the leaders of several families said goodbye and left, Zheng Guobao ordered someone to secretly invite Zeng Xingwu, Ye Lushuang, Deng Zilong and others to discuss it, and each of them was ordered to prepare. Ren Yingying waited for him to finish his work before she said coquettishly: "You have no conscience." Marry yourself and let a few of us handle it for you, how can there be such a reason in the world? Those two women are here to divide our man, and they want us to prepare for his marriage, so you are not afraid that we will make trouble in it? ”

"My good Yingying, so it won't be like this." Zheng Guobao said as he wrapped her around, "If this golden hook fishing plan can be successful, I will definitely treat my female Zhuge well." If you don't come up with such a good idea, we don't know how many people and how much effort it will take to fight this Loushan Pass. ”

Ren Yingying punched him angrily, "It's cheap, it's good." You'll be fine, when the time comes, we will tear up in front of you, and you will be in the new house with the eldest lady of the Tang family, the widow of the horse gang, and you will be beautiful. I tell you that this is the only time that such a strategy will not be used again. Also, these days, the widows of the Horse Gang have been favored too much, and they will have to be detained back in the future. ”

"After the war, she will most likely stay in Sichuan to run our caravan, these days, it can be regarded as a reward. This time, her horse gang also contributed a lot, as well as the Tang Sect, you see how much the Tang family has produced this time just with poison hidden weapons, strong crossbows and hard bows. There are also the dead soldiers in the door, and most of them have been dispatched, and they have also calculated the blood cost, so we have to be right. ”

"Anyway, you have a point." Ren Yingying said angrily: "Qin's mother, what about the female fox?" Do you want to be caught alive and let you enjoy it? ”

"Then you don't have to. If this Qin clan can be captured, he will be captured, and if he can't be captured, he will be killed. If I capture her, I will also send it to the Teaching Workshop Division to earn fat powder and silver for our Daming. This time, she pretended to be clever and reported the news, and when the time comes, I will see how she cries! (To be continued......)
