Chapter 17: The Difficulty of the Unexpected

The ghost sent Zhu Yongxing to this world, and he had to choose a different and thorny life. He couldn't predict, let alone avoid the bumps and reefs lurking there, and he didn't know that the seemingly simple way out of Burma and into Yunnan actually made an earth-shattering and vigorous way!

When he went up to the bamboo building, Da Wu was sitting on a rattan chair, placing a pair of skinny hands on the armrests symmetrically, as if he had just woken up.

"Your Highness, please be seated." Da Wu squinted his eyes, looked at Zhu Yongxing, stretched out his hand to gesture, and said: "The grass people are disabled and cannot pay a big salute to worship, please forgive your highness." ”

Zhu Yongxing came from later generations, of course, he didn't have any requirements for the respect and humility of feudal society, and he didn't care, but the image of the great witch made him stunned for a moment, then he smiled, sat casually, and said: "The great witch doesn't have to care, I heard that your wisdom is as deep as the sea, I came here to ask for advice." ”

The Great Witch seemed to smile, the scar on his face and the deformation of one eye made the smile a little weird, he waved his hand at Mengzhu, and said, "Ah Zhu, you go down and wait." ”

Mengzhu obviously didn't expect to drive her away, lowered her eyelids and was a little displeased, and her feet didn't move.

"Ah Zhu, you wait for me below, I will finish the meeting with Dawu soon." Zhu Yongxing didn't think too much about it, and nodded at Ah Zhu with a smile.

Mengzhu's face turned slightly pale, and she smiled at Zhu Yongxing to show relief, and turned to leave.

As Ah Zhu's footsteps went away, the bamboo building fell silent, and Zhu Yongxing did not speak first, but waited patiently for the big witch to speak. Since Ah Zhu is allowed to leave, there must be some confidential things to say, or continue to bargain, just like the Siwei patriarch, what promises do you have to make!

As the sky grew dark, the Great Witch sat motionless, only his eyes blinking from time to time, adding a little life to the old and withered body, like two lonely sparks in a furnace of dead ashes.

Zhu Yongxing was a little uncomfortable, and finally spoke: "Patriarch Siwei and I have already decided to leave Myanmar, and there are not many escorts, one or two hundred people are enough. Of course, if the Great Witch has any doubts, he can be open and honest, and I will not deceive. ”

Da Wu's eyes flashed, and he said a soft "um", but the words he said surprised Zhu Yongxing, "One or two hundred?" This is not feasible. ”

"Why?" Zhu Yongxing leaned forward and asked very unexpectedly, "But are you worried that I will break my promise or never return?" ”

"That's not why." Dawu said in a low voice: "The people who will go out of Burma and enter Yunnan with His Highness will not be one or two hundred, but nearly 30,000 people of the Mengshanke clan. ”

Zhu Yongxing thought that he had heard it wrong, and shook his head vigorously, moving the clan, did this guy take the wrong medicine?

"The Burmese Tusi is shameless, and the barbarian Tuguan is insatiable." The Great Witch's resentful voice sounded faintly in the darkness, "The Mengshan Ke clan has endured for too long, rather than sit and wait to be killed, it is better to strike hard." His Royal Highness stays behind for the clan, and has the right to supervise the country, and after entering Yunnan, it is not difficult to find a place for our people to live, right? ”

Zhu Yongxing finally confirmed that he had heard correctly, but this sudden change was beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help frowning and thinking, looking for excuses.

"The Mengshan Ke people were also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is only natural for them to return to the rule. As long as His Highness agreed, thousands of soldiers would immediately fight for His Highness's Xingwang Tuhe. The Great Witch continued, his eyes shining, as if a nocturnal traveler in the desert had seen a light in the distance.

"Yunnan Province is in the midst of war, and at this time, it is not easy to find a place for tens of thousands of people to live in peace?" Zhu Yongxing protested and argued: "If tens of thousands of people are relocated, how can the Burmese agree to send troops to stop it, and it will be a bloody battle." ”

"Fight is fighting, bleeding is bleeding, and it is better to die than to endure the knife." The voice of the Great Witch became indignant, "For decades, the Mengshan Ke tribe has been repeatedly oppressed and exploited by the Burmese, and there have been countless deaths, can Your Highness know the pain?" Today, the Burmese Tusi wants to open the 'first * night * power again, which is a great shame and humiliation, how can the Mengshan Ke people endure it anymore? ”

"What? The right to the first *night*? Zhu Yongxing was shocked when he heard this, his voice lowered, and he snorted: "Patriarch Siwei didn't say anything about this?" ”

Hmph, hum, Da Wu snorted coldly twice, did not explain, but fell silent.

Really, fake? Zhu Yongxing could not imagine that such a barbaric system would be implemented, and out of the thinking of modern people, he not only found it difficult to accept, but also hated it deeply. But he vaguely felt a little suspicious, but he couldn't find the flaw, after all, he didn't know much about the situation of the Mengshan Ke tribe, and he didn't know what had happened before Lu Dao.

Zhu Yongxing is not a historian, but for the sake of writing novels, he focuses on the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but he does not know about this barbaric system of "first * night * right * ", and only thinks it is a bad custom of a foreign country. In fact, there are also different forms of ** in China's ethnic minority areas, such as western Hubei, Youyang in Sichuan, Yongshun, Baojing, Yongsui in Hunan, and some toasts in Yunnan-Guizhou areas all enjoy the right to Γ— the first Γ— night.

"If I don't take all of you out of Burma and find a place to live, you won't escort me into Yunnan, and you won't deliver news for me. Is that so? Zhu Yongxing was silent for a long time and asked tentatively.

"Exactly." Dawu did not hesitate to confirm it, paused, and added in a soothing tone: "Your Highness should be risk-free in this matter, and you don't dare to work hard in battle, but after entering Yunnan, you will ask Your Highness to live up to your promise." ”

Zhu Yongxing got up slowly and said, "I have to think about this matter. "His mind is a bit messy, especially when facing this mysterious witch, he needs to calm down his mind first, and he needs time to think.

"Your Highness is wise and martial, and has the ambition to rejuvenate the king and try to dominate, such a trivial matter must not stump Your Highness." Da Wu's words seemed to be compliments, and they seemed to be agitating, sounding faintly behind Zhu Yongxing.

Yes, you can't even do this little thing, how can you rejuvenate the king and fight for the world with the Manchus. Zhu Yongxing's footsteps paused, sighed, and turned away.

……………

In the dead of night, the lights flickered, Zhu Yongxing had no sleep, sometimes holding his chin, sometimes caressing his forehead, deeply distressed by the difficulties he suddenly encountered.

Mengzhu came in lightly, changed him with new tea, and then sat down obediently to accompany him.

"Azhu, what is the origin of this great witch? How can you be proficient in Sinology? Zhu Yongxing's doubts in his heart did not dissipate, and his thinking could not be broadened, so he couldn't help but raise his head and ask Mengzhu.

"The origin of the Great Witchβ€”" Mengzhu blinked his eyes and said thoughtfully, "I don't know much about it, but I know that he was in the village before I was born, and he was very knowledgeable and wise, and he was highly respected in the clan. ”
