This rebellion of the Miao people in Guimao County was influenced by the Emperor Worship Sect of the Blue Wolf Country, starting from the fifth year of Xiantong and counting the ninth year of Tongqing, it was already the sixteenth year. A unit of the Blue Wolf Country led by Li Yuncai participated in the Miaojiang Uprising, so Guimao County also became the last stop of the Blue Wolf Country.

Before the Battle of Shidongkou, Li Yuncai had proposed that he take the initiative to abandon Shidongkou, divide his troops to the east, attack the western part of Jingnan County, and unite the Miao people there, so that Gong Jichang would lose one and lose the other, and he would be exhausted.

However, Jiudabai was unwilling to leave his homeland, and insisted on fighting a war of attrition with Gong Jichang, and was beaten to the ground, so there was a scene of Gong Jichang's "burning books and pit seedlings".

"Yes, my lord—"

More than a hundred soldiers of the Jingyi Battalion responded in unison, and they threw sand into the big pit, and soon the sand reached the knees of those Miao soldiers. It seems that Gong Jichang is determined to bury all these people alive, but he is not to scare and scare those Miao people who dare to make trouble.

Outside the pit, there are still hundreds of soldiers with guns hiding in the woods, waiting for the Nine White to come to their rescue. As soon as Miao Jun appeared, he would be shot indiscriminately and killed. And Jiu Dabai estimated that this was a trap designed by Gong Jichang, and he didn't show up for a long time.

Gong Jichang raised a blazing torch and said in Miao language: "As long as you take me to search for the hiding place of the Nine Great Whites, this governor will immediately let you go home." Otherwise, you will go to Hades with these books......"

These Miao soldiers are all tough guys, righteous, how could they confess the whereabouts of their leader? Therefore, they were silent one by one, unwilling to give in, preferring to be buried alive.

Gong Jichang was also helpless, and ordered his subordinates to pour fierce fire oil into the pit: "This governor will give you one last chance, I will give you dozens of times, ten, nine, eight, seven......"

When Gong Jichang counted to one, the Miao man who delivered the wine covered the wine bowl on the wine jar and slammed it on the ground: "My lord, don't-"

"Damn, who are you?" Gong Jichang asked.

"My lord, I'm Oubangxiu...... These babies were forced to be thieves...... Let them go. The Miao man had a handful of snot and tears.

"Ou Bangxiu, this name is interesting." Gong Jichang smiled and said, "Why do you want me to let these barbarians go?" ”

"My lord, as long as you spare them from death, I will vouch for their heads......" Ou Xiubang replied.

"Brother Ou, you get up and speak......" Gong Jichang helped Ou Xiu to help him and walked to a place more than fifty steps away from the big pit.

"My lord, I have three babies who have been captured by you, and they are all in this pit, so I beg you to let them live." The Ou Xiu Gang finally said why.

"It's okay to release people, then you have to help Bendu persuade Zhang Xiumei to surrender. Before Zhang Xiumei didn't go down the mountain, I wouldn't let your three sons go, and I could send the rest first. Gong Jichangcheng made a promise.

"My lord, you are doing this to directly tell those Miao soldiers that I am a traitor, and they will kill our whole family." Ou Xiubang said.

"Brother Ou, what you said reminded the Governor. I'll talk to these babies to see if they are willing to stay in my army and use them for me. Gong Jichang said with a smile.

"Your Excellency. I'm afraid you've persuaded these babies, so let me persuade you to surrender. Ou Xiubang said.

"You can give it a try." Gong Jichang nodded.

So, Ou Xiubang walked to the edge of the big pit, poured a bowl of wine, and sprinkled it into the pit: "Babies, this bowl of wine is for the ancestors." Today I will send you on your way to see the great god of Chiyou......"

Ou Xiubang poured another bowl of wine and sprinkled it into the air: "Babies, this second bowl is for heaven and earth, may your soul stay in heaven and earth for a long time." ”

The prisoners of war in the pit remained indifferent. The Miao soldiers in those pits didn't know that Gong Jichang was going to release them and go home, so they shouted together:

"General Ou, we don't want to die, save us-"

"General Ou, we are willing to submit to the imperial court-"

This shout is terrible, Ou Bangxiu is a small leader of the Miao Army, and his identity has been exposed. Gong Jichang was happy now, and he had to admire his cousin Zhu Rongchu's strategy of "throwing bricks and attracting jade", although Ou Xiubang was not a senior general of the Miao Army, but it also had a certain appeal. first won over the Ou Xiu Gang, and later persuaded Zhang Xiumei, Yang Daliu and other leaders to disintegrate the Miao army, which was of great benefit.

"Babies, I can't save you!" Ou Xiubang picked up the wine jar, poured rice wine along the edge of the pit, and said, "Master Gong said, as long as you reflect on it and return to the imperial court, you can live." ”

"General Ou, is this true?" One of the leaders of the Miao army in the pit asked.

"Of course it's true, Master Gong also said that as long as we have drunk wine and eaten meat with his people, we are brothers." Ou Xiubang replied loudly.

"General Ou, it's easy to say! Aren't you afraid that Lord Gong will poison the wine and meat? The little leader of the Miao army asked.

"The Doge will eat and drink with you. Would you like to take me with you to the Leigong Mountain area? Gong Jichang asked.

"We are willing to follow Master Gong—" The Miao people in the pit knelt down together.

"Hehe, it seems that these babies have finally succumbed!" Gong Jichang said with a smile.

"My lord, as long as you keep your promise, do not kill their families, and treat them preferentially, they will obey your command." Ou Xiu gang hugging fists.

"Okay." Gong Jichang ordered the soldiers to bring the Miao people, who were about to be killed, back to the ground. I gave them a change of clothes, good food and wine, and gave them money to go home.

How do you know that in order to thank Gong Jichang for his grace not to kill, these Miao soldiers actually stayed and formed a Miao army unit, and they were in front of them every time they fought, so that the matter of Ping Miao would be handy.

In the ninth year of Tongqing, on September 4, Jingyi Yingke Yanmen, marched to Wu, and then pursued the Miao army that retreated to Jiugu River. In March of the tenth year, Gong Jichang and others led the army to capture Danjiang and march into the cattle farm.

Zhang Xiumei and Yang Daliu led the Miao troops in Majiang, Huangping, Leishan, Danzhai, Taijiang and other places to retreat to the Leigongshan area, and continued to fight against the Qinghe army with this as the center.

Leigong Mountain is located between Leishan, Rongjiang, Jianhe and Taijiang counties, with a total area of more than 700,000 acres (about 500 square kilometers), majestic and magnificent, the forest is verdant, the stream crystal is bright and transparent, the waterfall is vertically falling, the momentum is seductive, and the birds are singing and fragrant everywhere.

In the season of red, white, purple magnolia and azalea, it is beautiful. Under the mountain, there are Banpo Miao villages everywhere, you can appreciate the charming Miao customs, the main peak watches the sunrise and sunset, the clouds swallow the fog, it is poetic and picturesque, it makes people feel refreshed and happy. However, the most famous azaleas are Yingpan Village.

Gong Jichang took the Miao indigenous Ouxiu Gang, Yang Dingguo and others as guides, went to Yingpan Village to survey the terrain, walked around here, and took a look at the sea of flowers here.

Yingpan Village is located in the south of Kaili, the name of the Miao is called "bite Bang", in the artistic conception of the Miao language, "Bang" is the meaning of "flower", there are two high mountains of crows and horns in the territory. The two mountains are undulating, towering into the clouds, towering and proud, and magnificent. Especially the crow slope, the hills stretch for twenty miles.

Among them, the main peak of Crow Slope "Xue Daojiao" (Miao name) is 1408 meters above sea level, which is the first peak around Kaili City; The main peak of Niujiaopo "Dongdan" (Miao name) is 1384 meters above sea level.

The three natural villages of Yingpan Village, Da Ying Pun, Xia Zhai (Zhong Ying Pun) and Xiao Ying Pan are embedded in the southwest of the two slopes of Crow and Niujiao at an altitude of 750 to 900 meters.

The time when Gong Jichang went to Yingpan was in the third month of the lunar calendar, and the two slopes of crows and horns ushered in a blooming period. Climb to the top of the mountain, but see between heaven and earth, reckless and vast, the mountains are continuous, thousands of mountains and ravines, all in sight. On the mountainside, the Miao village is scattered, the terraced fields are layered, the woods are dense, and the paths are entangled, which is beautiful.

A group of groups, a cluster, different colors, a variety of forms of red in the spring blooming, presenting a magnificent picture of the forest dyed, the mountains are red all over! The total area of the flower sea reaches nearly 10,000 acres, distributed in the mountain forest from 650 meters above sea level to 1400 meters above sea level, the flower color has white, red, pink, purple, purple red, bluish, red and white compound color and other hues, the flowering period is as long as more than a month. Its large area, age, high density, many varieties, the beauty of colors, is a must in Kaili, rare in the southeast of Guizhou, amazing!

It's a pity that the officials didn't cherish such a good place, and they wouldn't take it lightly, but would only blindly squeeze the Miao people and make the people's livelihood miserable.

If the Hmong were able to settle down, would they still rebel? Gong Jichang knew this very well in his heart, so he just tried his best to negotiate peace with Miao Jun and persuade them to lay down their arms and go home to farm.

"My lord, if Zhang Xiumei retreats to Yingpan Village, how will she deal with it?" Ou Xiubang asked.

"Promote peace by fighting, and talk while fighting. If Zhang Xiumei refuses to surrender, as long as Ben Dusheng captures him, he will not be spared. Gong Jichang said with a smile.

"Lord Gong, then I will go to Lei Gong Mountain to persuade a few more times, is it feasible?" Ou Xiubang asked. Previously, Ou Xiu helped go to Miao Jun's base camp for peace talks, which was soft and hard, and said that Bao Da Belly and others were itchy in their hearts, and they were a little shaken.

"Okay. General Ben only wants to reduce casualties as much as possible. Gong Jichang nodded.

So, Ou Xiubang took a group of Miao natives and picked up some rice, tobacco, meat, glutinous rice, wine and other things to the Leigong Mountain area.

Zhang Xiumei, who was short of food and grass, accepted the items sent by the Ou Xiu Gang and held a banquet to entertain the Ou Xiu Gang and his party. Yang Daliu, the "generalissimo of soldiers and horses", was very unhappy and rode to the racecourse on the top of the mountain.

At the banquet, Ou Xiubang sang a mountain song to persuade Zhang Xiumei: "Go down to the village, tear half of the chicken, drink raw blood wine together, and form an alliance to be brothers......

Zhang Xiumei knew in her heart that her cousin-in-law was protecting herself, so she interrupted Ou Xiubang's singing: "Brother-in-law, this king has said many times that he is unwilling to reconcile with Gong Jichang, what else are you doing here?" ”
