The archer roared angrily, and in a short time, a dozen people in their fifties and complicated clothes came out of the stockade, and it seemed that these people were the leaders of the mountain people.

"Kunming Yang Saburo took the liberty to come and bothered him!"

These people can go out of the village to greet each other, which means that they have a good relationship with the Yang family.

"But here for peace?"

A leader in Zhuang clothes asked a little unfriendly.

"Not bad! Saying peace is only one of them, and leading everyone down the mountain is the purpose of Yang Sanlai. ”

"Down the mountain? Why are we going down? ”

This leader of the Zhuang clan either has an enmity with the Yang family, or he lost manpower in the confrontation with the Qing army, and judging by the expressions of the other leaders, it should be the latter.

"This is not the place to speak, so don't invite Yang San into the village? This is not hospitality! ”

"The third young master laughed, how dare we not welcome the Yang family? It's not too late! There is just a dead person in the village, and there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please also invite the third young master Haihan! ”

Under the guidance of the knife hand, Yang Meng greeted the leaders one by one, and then walked in the front and entered the largest cottage in Feishikou.

Entering a wooden building, Yang Meng sat side by side with the head of Yuntou Village, and the other dozen or so heads sat down.

"Yang San spoke directly, don't blame you! How many people have died in the village owners this time, report the number, and Yang San's five hundred and twenty-one lives have been bought! This matter has been revealed, and the Yang family will pay 10,000 taels of silver to each village, the owners of the village, discuss it, if things can still turn around, forget it! Otherwise, the trouble will continue. There will be more people who will die! And the Yang family can't sit idly by and watch Yunnan fall into chaos. ”

Yang Meng spoke directly, but did not arouse the disgust of the owners of the villages. Because he was telling the truth, before Yang Meng came. These leaders are discussing the question of whether to fight or not.

"Third Young Master, let's not want the silver, rush to the face of Yang Buddha, this matter has been revealed, but the green battalion soldiers who harmed the lives of our cottage women, we must kill them!"

"I can't do that! Also, if you respect me, shout out to the third master! I can't get used to hearing these three young masters. I came out to carry things for the Yang family, and I still deserved to say 'Third Master'! ”

Kill the Green Battalion? If you can't figure it out, that woman was killed by Huang Baba. There is no revenge for this! Yang Meng would not agree to their request.

"That's good! Third Master! Tell me why you can't avenge this revenge? ”

The one who spoke, his voice was also an octave higher, and it seemed that he still had anger in his heart!

"From whom do men get it? It's a mess, can you say that the Green Battalion killed it? Or can it be said that Huang Baba killed it? Dwelling on this matter will only kill more people, so I said I can't do it!

You are all the masters of a village, and you are not too young, and you don't think about it as those willful hairy children, how to choose this matter. You have an idea, the Yang family's opinion is to calm things down.

You don't have to push it off when you take the money, and I have something to say. Last year's harvest was not good, and I thought that there was a shortage of grain in each village, and the 10,000 taels of silver. Even if it's a gift from the Yang family! ”

Now is not the time to clear grievances, this matter can only be passed with one eye closed. Otherwise, the mountain people will rebel, whether it is suppressed by the imperial court. Or the Yang family is in turmoil, many people will die, for one person to die and injure thousands of people, it is really not worth it at this time.

After Yang Meng's words were finished, the owners of each family also began to discuss, fighting with the imperial court, indispensable dead people, since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the rebellion of the mountain people in Yunnan, there has not been a success, this matter Yang Sanlang said is true, this grievance can only muddy the waters, it is considered a confused account.

"Good! This matter will be done according to what the third master said! We also took the silver, the third master returned to Kunming, thank Yang Buddha for us, his kindness, we mountain people, keep it in mind! ”

The owner of Yuntou Village should make a truce, and this first thing is successfully completed, but the owner of the village did not mention anything about leading the mountain people down the mountain, and it seems that he still has some mustard in his heart.

"The ...... I just said"

"Third master, the matter is done, how about we have a banquet? You can also try the local dishes in our village, which has a unique flavor. ”

Yang Meng was about to speak, but was interrupted by the owner of Yuntou Village, it seems that the resistance in his heart is not small.

"Ha Lu Ha! Yang Saburo is not a tiger and does not eat people! Some words may not be bad for feelings, Yang San's words are better for everyone to listen! ”

Yang Meng laughed loudly, making the eyes of more than a dozen village owners focus on Yang Sanlang and Yuntou Village owners who were sitting side by side.

"Then the third master said it! It's ......"

The matter of Yuntou Village, this owner of the village knows best, Yang Sanlang gathered the mountain people in Yongchang, he has also heard of it, but the people in the village are all their own house slaves, go down the mountain? What did he become?

"Good! Let the talk be done, this is it! To put it bluntly, you may not be able to accept it, so Yang San asks a question! Why do you want to rebel after ten or twenty years? ”

Yang Meng's words are straight to the heart, the mountain people of all ethnic groups are in turmoil, except for the land reform in the early Qing Dynasty, the most is still unable to eat, unable to live, these words can be asked by the owners of the village present.

"Third master, you still have something to say! It's not because the people in the village can't survive anymore, who will fight with their lives? ”

It seems that the owner of this Yuntou village is the head of these people underground, so things are much easier to do, Yang Meng is most afraid of the different opinions of each family, these dozen village owners, with a leader, it is much easier to talk.

"I will give you the land of the village, the rent is about two or three percent, and whoever farms for the Yang family, the third master will ensure that he is full of food and drink, and he has spare money in his hand."

Yang Meng opened the conditions, most of the village owners showed joy on their faces, most of the mountains and fields are barren, and they can't manage it if they plant too much, and if they plant less, they will have to starve, if the Yang family really divides the land according to the rent of two or three percent, it is a great thing!

"The people in the village are gone, so what are we going to do with the owners and leaders of the village? Do you sit in the stockade and wait to die? ”

Seeing that many village owners were moved, this one from Yuntou Village also spoke with a hint of fierceness.

"It's easier to do this, the property in the village belongs to you, and the Yang family spent money to buy it. There is a lot of silver, and the Yang family will set up a Yunnan business in a few days. You can put this money into the business and do business with the Yang family. You can't lose, and even if you lose, you won't lose a penny.

Think about it! How much income can you earn by guarding the stockade? Investing in the Yang family, the income must be more than ten times the original, you people, if you are willing to be the owner of the village, you can go to the bottom of the mountain to continue to control your clansmen, but there is one thing, that is, to do things for the Yang family! ”

At this point, the matter is generally clear. As for how they choose, Yang Meng can't care about it, there are still some benefits to defecting to the Yang family now, and there will be no such opportunity in the future.

"I also understand the words of the third master, that is, the Yang family spends money to buy the lives of our people, whether it is the owner of the village or the old and young in the village, they will have to work hard for the Yang family in the future, right?"

The owner of Yuntou Village is not simple. With a clear mind and extensive knowledge, he also figured out the hidden meaning of Yang Meng's words.

"Not bad! It can be understood that the Yang family guarantees that you have no worries about food and clothing. You are obedient to the arrangement of the Yang family, you should do things, and you have to play with your life! ”

"Good! It's good that the third master explains the matter. This is a big matter, can the third master allow us to discuss it in private? ”

"Yes! I left a few stewards of the Yang family in the stockade. If you don't understand, you can ask them for a month or two. I should be staying in Yongchang, you want to know and let me know at any time. ”

Even if Yuntou Village disagrees with this matter, presumably most of the village owners below will agree, and half of the people agree is enough, and Yang Meng doesn't want to bother more about collecting the mountain people.

"Third master, it's not too late to leave after eating the feast in the village!"

Seeing that Yang Meng wanted to get up and leave, the owner of Yuntou Village said that he would stay, for the mountain people, even if the enemy came, as long as he didn't do it, he should be entertained.

"Huh! It's a bit rude to do this, but Yang San is an official, and he has to go back to tell him about the boycott of the war, and he will have the opportunity to get together again in the future, this time it is Yang San's rudeness! ”

The position of the owner of Yuntou Village is unknown, Yang Meng doesn't plan to eat in the village, and he can't be careful in anything!

"Good! Since the third master has official business, we will not keep you, and we will report the matter as soon as it has a result. ”

After bidding farewell to more than a dozen village owners, Yang Meng returned to the barracks empty-handed, seeing this situation, Zhang Bilu could only sigh, the artillery of the green camp was lost in vain.

Yang Meng fiddled with the affairs of the mountain people, and He Changling was also overjoyed, without the rebellion of the mountain people, it was time to deal with Huang Baba.

With the holy oracle on his back, He Changling did not dare to return to Kunming easily, sitting in Yongchang to supervise Baoshan County, deal with the lawsuit of the last chaos, and at the same time help Zhang Bilu raise food and salary, and the affairs in Kunming also had to be dealt with.

Zhang Bilu was also ruthless, training troops every day, killing people every day, and finally stopped the problem of random looting by the green battalion, Huang Baba crossed the river, and also began to operate in Dali and Banna, and in a month, the team of 5,000 people was pulled up by him again.

This time, almost all of the people under his command were people of the same race, and their targets were also targeted at the militia groups that participated in the Baoshan massacre.

Zhang Bilu was busy with military training, and Huang Baba's subordinates were familiar with the terrain of Yongchang, Jinji Village became the first unlucky, a pair of children and family members of Shen Jucheng, the head of the Yongchang regiment, all died in the night attack, and the people who broke the family were finally broken, which can be regarded as retribution!

There were also a lot of casualties in the sentry training in Jinji Village, and the loss of property and goods was countless.

Shen Jucheng took the family feud, took his godson Shen Zhenda, and also bit Huang Baba and others, Zhang Bilu came quickly, with more than 5,000 and half of the immature green battalion soldiers, together with Shen Jucheng, began to encircle and suppress Huang Baba's team.

Huang Baba's number is at a disadvantage, and the opponent is the veteran Zhang Bilu, since Jinji Village, Huang Baba has been defeated in Baoshan in a row, all the way through Niujiao Pass, Guanpo, Dali Whistle, the loss is quite serious, and in the Crow River, Huang Baba's team was forced into a desperate situation.

In order to cover the clansmen to break the siege, Huang Baba personally led more than 300 people to block Zhang Bilu and Shen Jucheng's tens of thousands of people, after a bloody battle, Huang Baba and others were all killed, and Zhang Baba also lost the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the chaotic people.

Huang Baba died in battle, the Hui lost their backbone, Zhang Fu and Ma Xiaoqing, who assisted Huang Baba all the way, also saw their own disadvantages, Zhang Bilu was too powerful, and continued to organize people to resist, but they would only fail, and in desperation, the two dispersed most of the clansmen and signed the so-called 'peace treaty' with the government.

He Changling and Zhang Bilu were in charge, and Shen Jucheng, who had a family feud, could only swallow his anger and obediently retreated to Jinji Village. And a group of Hui Hui, who also had a family feud, also broke with Zhang Fu and Ma Xiaoqing, and escaped to the vicinity of Dali with a small number of people.

Because Yuntouzhai agreed to Yang Meng's conditions, Yang Meng has been busy recently, and most of the land of more than a dozen copper officials has been allocated, and in Yongchang alone, the young and strong mountain people in Yang Meng's hands have reached about 50,000, and it has taken him a lot of effort to settle these people.

Therefore, Yang Meng's attention to Huang Baba and others is much less, hearing that Shen Jucheng's family was slaughtered, Huang Baba died in battle, Zhang Fu and Ma Xiaoqing reconciled with the government, Yang Meng's brows furrowed, this time there were many casualties, I am afraid that Du Wenxiu and others will return, and they will not give up.
