The officer who came to the Wumeng Ministry to preach policy was called Zhang Shihe, a nine-year veteran of Chongzhen.

He didn't bring a single soldier, and only Yi guides were by his side. Such a huge sincerity made the Lu father and daughter quite surprised, and they felt that the Han officers in front of them were very different from the Han officials of the Ming Dynasty in the past.

The Ming and Han officials did not dare to come to the Yi village at all, and the only few times they came were to raise troops to kill.

Zhang Shihe arched his hand and smiled: "Lu Tumu, I have admired the name for a long time." Under the surname Zhang, Zhang Shihe, a missionary officer in the Datong army. ”

"Zhang Xuanjiao, look up for a long time." Lu Ahuan can speak Chinese.

Because the Wumeng Department is also a horse breeding ground in Shuixi, the Wumeng horses produced here are quite miraculous. Since he was a teenager, Lu Ahuan would follow his father every year, take Wumeng horses to pay tribute to the local Mu Kui, and often assist in escorting war horses to Guiyang.

An Rupan asked his son to marry a woman from the Wumeng Department, which also had the meaning of entrapment, mainly for the sake of Wumeng Ma.

Lu Tianxiang looked at Zhang Shihe very boldly, and thought: These Han people are so white, don't they bask in the sun?

Lu Tianxiang has a pair of long legs, and her face is also extremely standard. It's that his complexion is darker, darker than Zhang Shi and this soldier. In terms of skin color alone, she has a bit of a black North African flavor, like a long-term mixed descendant of blacks and whites, but her facial features are indeed oriental.

Zhang Shihe smiled and said, "Lu Tumu, let's sit and talk." ”

Zhang Shihe sat on the ground, without any weapons on his body. After he sat down like this, it was not easy to escape, and the Lu father and daughter could chop him to death with a single knife.

However, they didn't dare, there were still 500 Datong troops under the mountain.

Not only did the Lu father and daughter dare, but the nearby villages did not dare. Because the village is young and strong, most of them have been recruited as soldiers, and they are currently stationed in Shuixi City, and the Datong army can easily break through the village.

Lu Ahuan also sat down, he is straightforward, since Zhang Shihe is sincere, then everyone will sit down and talk seriously.

Zhang Shihe glanced at Lu Tianxiang and said with a smile: "Can the two of you know the Datong Army?" ”

Lu Ahuan nodded: "I heard this year that you have defeated Bijie and Chishui, and driven away all the Han soldiers there." ”

Zhang Shihe asked again: "Do you know His Majesty the Emperor of Datong?" ”

"Is it the Han Emperor?" Lu Tianxiang asked.

In the Wumeng Mountains, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and they belong to the Tusi jurisdiction, they know that the emperor has changed, but they don't know who became the emperor.

Zhang Shihe said: "Today, His Majesty's surname is Zhao, and the country name is Datong. His Majesty was originally just an ordinary person, oppressed by the government, and had to rebel with the poor. His Majesty knew the plight of the poor, and did not levy forced labor, and the taxes were collected very lightly, so the poor were willing to fight for the emperor. His Majesty also said that all the tribes of the world are brothers and sisters. The Han people are people, the Miao people are people, the servants are people, the Yao people are people, and the Yi people are people. There should be no war between the tribes, but they should love each other. ”

Lu Ahuan was surprised at the same time, but also half-convinced: "The Han emperor really said that? ”

Zhang Shihe nodded and said, "Your Majesty only has three concubines, and one of them is a Yao woman. The soldiers of our Datong Army are not only Han people, but also Miao people, Qiang people, and Yi people. Warriors of all tribes train together, eat and live together, and fight together. Regardless of each other, they are all good brothers. Those who are oppressed on the basis of their ethnicity will be punished and demoted, or expelled from the army. ”

Lu Tianxiang said: "The Han people are cunning and accustomed to deception, who knows if what you say is true or false?" It is rumored that the Han people want to kill all the Yi men, rob the Yi women, and capture the Yi children as slaves. ”

Zhang Shihe smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, you can send a few warriors to our army to have a look." Sichuan's Datong Army also recruited Yi people from southern Sichuan when it expanded its army. In a short period of time, there have been Yi people who have done the chief, and they can command ten soldiers. There were also many Guizhou soldiers, who fought with the governor Zhu Xieyuan, and surrendered early to follow His Majesty the Emperor of Datong. These Guizhou soldiers were all slaves, including Yi, Miao, and servants. One of them, already made a general. Not a general like Tusi, but a general of the Datong Army, who commanded thousands of Han soldiers under his command. ”

Lu Tianxiang was surprised: "The general of the Yi people, if he doesn't command the Yi people, he can actually command the Han soldiers?" ”

Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "In the new dynasty of Datong, there is no difference between ethnic groups, everyone is brothers and sisters. In this case, why can't the Yi generals command the Han soldiers? In my Datong army, there are not only Yi generals, but also a Han female general. ”

"Can a Han woman be a general?" Lu Tianxiang became more and more curious, and sat cross-legged on the ground to ask.

The Yi people in Shuixi belong to a patriarchal society, and women cannot participate in wars unless there is an emergency. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Mrs. Musk, as well as Lu Tianxiang in front of her, were both in charge of the military and political power in place of her son after her husband died—the same is true for Shi Yan and Qin Liangyu, all power belongs to his son.

Zhang Shihe said: "Your Majesty once said that in terms of personality, all people are created equal, and men and women are naturally equal. Men can be generals, why can't women be generals? In my Datong court, there are not only female generals, but also female civil officials. One of the female officials has become the prefect, do you know the prefect? ”

"I know," Lu Ahuan nodded, "The Han people's mansion is bigger than the Yi people's Zexi." ”

Xiaohong has indeed been promoted to the prefect, but it is impossible for men and women to be truly equal.

Xiaohong is a man, with her qualifications and merits, it is estimated that she has already achieved the third grade. can be an official for so many years, and now he has only been promoted to the prefect, and has attracted countless rumors. If it weren't for Zhao Han's personal order, she wouldn't even be able to do it.

Zhang Shihe said to Lu Tianxiang: "If the Wumeng Department returns to the imperial court, the girl can also lead troops to fight, and she can also govern one side as a civil official." ”

Lu Tianxiang's eyes lit up when she said this, and she almost agreed on the spot, but when she heard her father's cough, she hurriedly shut up and didn't speak.

Lu Ahuan asked, "Is Zhang Xuanjiao here to recruit the Wumeng Ministry?" ”

"No," Zhang Shihe shook his head and said, "It's just that there are too many rumors about the Datong Army in Shuixi, and General Huang sent us to the Yi tribes to explain what the Datong Army was like to the Yi people." We don't kill indiscriminately, and we don't rob women and children. The Yi people have the custom of catching slaves, but the Han people do not, and the Datong army does not catch slaves. After exterminating the Shuixi Tusi, the people of all tribes of the Yi nationality are the people of His Majesty Datong. ”

Lu Ahuan was silent, he didn't believe it, he was afraid of being deceived by the Han people.

Zhang Shihe said: "This year's drought in Shuixi, although not particularly serious. But as far as we know, in order to fight, An's Tusi sent people to various departments to collect grain, and also forcibly conscripted Yi people as soldiers. Is there enough food for the Umeng Ministry? In the future, we will all be a family, brothers and sisters, if the food of the Wumeng Department is not enough, we can borrow military food from the Datong Army. ”

"Can you really borrow food?" Lu Ahuan's heart was moved.

Zhang Shihe said: "Of course. Since they are brothers and sisters, isn't it normal for relatives to borrow food from each other? Lu Tumu didn't believe it, so he sent some people down the mountain. I didn't bring much rations this time, but I was able to lend some of them. ”

In order to judge whether Zhang Shihe spoke or not, Lu Ahuan really sent more than a dozen young men to the Datong military camp at the foot of the mountain to borrow food.

More than ten young people, how many can they carry back to the mountain? It's just a few stones of grain.

Lu Ahuan had been sitting outside the gate of the village and waiting, and when he saw the hundreds of catties of grain carried up the mountain, he was immediately moved.

The Datong army is really good, and it can actually borrow grain.

On the other hand, Shuixi Tusi, even if there is a natural disaster, it is impossible to lend them food. Not only that, the more natural disasters encountered, the more ruthless the toast urged the food.

In addition to urging food, there is also forced labor.

Each tribe and stockade had a forced servant assigned by the Tusi. On the side of the Wumeng Ministry, it is mainly for the Tusi to raise horses, and there is a tribute amount every year. In the face of the plague epidemic, the horses died too much, and the Yi people of the Wumeng Department had to be upside down. If you can't pay for the war horses and can't get food, you have to sacrifice young men and girls to be slaves to the local Zexi chieftains.

Whether it is the Shuixi clan or the Shuidong Song clan, uprisings break out every once in a while. The people of the Yi, Zhuang, and Miao ethnic groups could not bear the oppression of the Tusi, so they could only rise up, and even joined forces with the Han people to rebel.

More than once, Tusi couldn't suppress the uprising, so he could only ask the Ming court to send troops to suppress it.

In the eyes of the people of all ethnic groups, the court and the Tusi are one and the same, and they are both big villains who exploit and oppress them.

Although the Datong Army only lent a few hundred catties of grain, it made Lu Ahuan very happy. He took Zhang Shihe's hand and said: "Those who are willing to borrow food are friends, and the Yi people never treat their friends badly, so let's go in and have a drink." ”

Zhang Shihe said: "It's not a friend, it's a brother, it's a family." ”

"Hahaha, yes, it's a brother, it's a family," Lu Ahuan pulled Zhang Shihe up, "Brother, let's go into the village to drink, and after drinking, we are a real family." ”

Zhang Shihe said to the Yi guide: "If you go down the mountain to report the news, you will say that I went to the Yi village to drink." ”

Lu Ahuan pulled Zhang Shihe into the stockade, and said to his son: "Scattered, scattered, those who are under the mountain are friends, not enemies who have come to fight us." Take out my treasured wine! ”

The Yi people who gathered urgently dispersed one after another.

But the slaves were disappointed that they could not fight, and they could not be free.

The wine jar was taken out, and there was no appetizer, but it was poured into a large bowl and drank.

"Brother, drink this bowl and taste our own good wine!" Lu Ahuan was enthusiastic.

Zhang Shihe's scalp suddenly tingled, this is not the popular rice wine, but the distilled liquor brewed by the Yi people, it looks like a pound.

Moreover, the other party seems to let him dry it in one bite!

Zhang Shihe started pouring it with a big name, and after drinking less than half a catty, he choked and wanted to vomit, and his brain was already dizzy.

"Hahahaha!"

Lu Ahuan laughed, thinking that the Han people couldn't drink enough, but the warriors of the Yi nationality could drink it.

Lu Ahuan raised his hand and pressed the wine bowl: "If you can't finish it in one sip, then take your time, I will compensate my brother until he gets drunk." ”

Zhang Shihe was amnesty, and praised in a daze: "Good wine!" ”
