Peng Tianbao's hesitation lasted until Zhu Gaochi walked in front of him, and he still hadn't made a decision in his heart.

"The ministers see the upper difference, the two sons have worked tirelessly to trek through mountains and rivers, proclaim the benevolence and virtue of the court in Yongshun, and the people under the rule must be remembered in their hearts."

Outside Yongshun County, Peng Tianbao led the officials of the Yongshun Propaganda Department and bowed down.

Zhu Gaochi just glanced at the Yongshun officials present.

He knew very well that almost most of these people were surnamed Peng and came from the Yongshun Peng family.

This is the disadvantage of the southwest toast system.

The imperial court can only weakly control the Tusi chief official, and has no control and appointment and dismissal power over the following officials.

The imperial court had only one declaration of sovereignty over the Tusi that had little effect.

In addition, the Tusi retains the right to pay taxes and soldiers, and does not have to pay taxes to the imperial court, nor does he have to hand over the Tusi soldiers and horses in his hands to the imperial court for jurisdiction.

This is also the origin of the Southwest Tusi like the Emperor of the Soil.

Zhu Gaochi was still nervous in his heart.

He glanced at Yongshun County behind Peng Tianbao and the others with deep eyes.

In this city, there are almost few Han people, and nine out of ten are the Tu and Miao people of the Yongshun Xuanwei Division.

Zhu Gaochi was calm, did not show it, and said softly: "The imperial court implements benevolent government, and all of them are the people of the world, and you are hereditary and eternal, and you must not live up to the emperor's grace." In addition to this Juntian decree today, it is for the benefit of the people of Yongshun Xuanji, and there is another edict of Taisun in the next hand, which should be read in Yongshun Tusi City. ”

Yongshun County is not allowed to enter.

Outside this city, what is happening, with the 1,000 officers and soldiers led by Zhu Shangbing, there will still be a chance to mediate. But once you enter the county town, which is full of Tu and Miao people, you will face the danger of being locked in the city.

Even if the army arrives, once Yongshun's Tusi soldiers and horses feel that there is no way to retreat, they are afraid that those who are locked up in the city will be killed by those Tusi soldiers and horses.

Peng Tianbao originally thought that the imperial court was only coming today for a Juntian decree to divide the people of Yongshun, but he didn't want to have another edict.

He didn't expect that the Yan Shizi in front of him would read the edict only when he went to Tusi City.

What's in there?

For a while, Peng Tianbao was very curious, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

In the crowd behind him, Peng Yuan stared at his son Peng Zhong sternly.

He really didn't want to, the Peng family, which had been inherited for hundreds of years, was ruined because of his son's impulse, and there was no Yongshun Peng family in the world.

Peng Zhong sneered a few times in his heart.

The two clansmen from the imperial court actually wanted to go to Tusi City.

This is really a self-defeating net, a sheep into the tiger's den!

To say that this Yongshun county is full of local people and Tusi soldiers and horses.

Then Yongshun Peng's Tusi City, that is, Longtan Tiger's Den, in addition to the core personnel of the Peng family, there are also Tusi soldiers and horses who are absolutely loyal to the Peng family.

No matter how great the benefits of the imperial court are, those Tusi soldiers will never betray the Peng family.

When Peng Tianbao hadn't spoken yet.

Peng Zhong had already walked to the front of the crowd with a smile on his face: "The two princes must have never gone south to the southwest, the southwest has thousands of years, and the style is completely different from the Central Plains, and Yongshun Tusi City is the essence of it." The two princes said that they wanted to read the edict to Tusi City, which was really suitable. ”

After speaking, Peng Zhong still had a smile on his face, and glanced sideways at his grandfather, who was always hesitant.

Peng Tianbao could only nod at this time and said: "What this grandson of Xiaguan said is very true, and please ask the two princes to move, and we will lead the way, and we will stay in Tusi City today to feel the customs of this southwest native." ”

Zhu Gaochi smiled on his face, but he secretly thought to himself in his heart, when the time comes, I am afraid that it will not be for them to feel the local customs of the southwest, but to let them feel the shock brought by Brother Xi.

He smiled and arched his hand: "In this way, there is Lao Peng's acquaintance." ”

Seeing Zhu Gaochi, he nodded in agreement.

Peng Tianbao immediately arranged for manpower to escort Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing to the Yongshun Peng's Tusi City in the east with a group of officials from the Yongshun Xuanwei Division.

The people of the Peng family walked in front, and Peng Tianbao led Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing to drive horses in the middle of the team.

At the end, there were 1,000 officers and soldiers brought by Zhu Shangbing.

The line was stretched very long, and it was neither fast nor slow.

According to Peng Tianbao's meaning, it is probably just an hour to arrive.

Zhu Gaochi vigilantly paid attention to the situation along the way, and at the same time chatted with Peng Tianbao about some interesting things in the court, or the customs and customs of the southwest.

There were no major movements or clashes along the way.

However, Peng Chong, who was responsible for leading the way at the front of the team, sent someone to rush back to Peng's Tusi City in advance.

Looking at the back of the person who rushed back to Peng's Tusi City, a smile appeared on Peng Zhong's face.

As long as the two princes of the Ming clan can be detained, the Peng family will have enough conditions to negotiate with the imperial court.

With the terrain of the mountains and valleys in the southwest, it is completely possible to fight back and forth with the imperial court, as long as it is supported for a long enough time, there is a great chance that the imperial court will be dragged down.

After thinking about it, Peng Zhong summoned his attendants again.

The attendant rode to Peng Zhong's side: "Childe." ”

Peng Zhong nodded and glanced back at the direction of Yongshun County: "You go back to the city now, and let them take advantage of the night tonight to bring everyone to the outside of Tusi City, and wait for the signal to move at any time." ”

The attendant made a note of the request, hugged his fist, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and rushed to Yongshun County.

Yongshun County has always been stationed with more than 3,000 Tusi soldiers and horses, which is on the surface, and it is recorded in the Yamen of the command of the Huguang Daodu.

Just when Peng Zhong's attendant had just left.

Peng Yuan had already driven to his son's side, his eyes were a little gloomy, he looked back at the attendant who had gradually moved away, and when he looked at Peng Zhong again, there was already anger in his eyes.

Peng Zhong seemed to be fine, and when he saw his father, a smile appeared on his face: "Father, you are here." ”

Peng Yuan snorted coldly and asked in a suppressed voice, "What do you want to do!" Do you really want to drag our Peng family into the abyss! ”

"Why did my father say that?" Peng Zhong's face was puzzled, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of expectation.

Seeing his son about to drag the entire Peng family to a point of no return step by step, the anger in Peng Yuan's heart became more and more intense.

"Do you really want to ask knowingly?" Peng Yuan took a deep breath: "Have you made up your mind that you will do it tonight and detain those two princes so that you can negotiate with the imperial court?" ”

Peng Zhong frowned, thought for a while, and then under his father's angry gaze, he chuckled and spoke: "Father, this world is very big, the surname Liu can be the emperor, the surname Yang can also be the emperor, the Li family is the emperor, the Zhao family and the Zhu family are also emperors." Why, I can't do it? Can't my Peng people sit in that seat? ”

Peng Yuan's face was full of surprise, because his son's unspoken words swept away the original anger on his face.

A flash of fear flashed in his eyes.

A few days ago, when Peng Zhong had the intention of confronting the imperial court, Peng Yuan only thought that this was his son's unwillingness to give up the power of the Yongshun Peng family.

He could never have imagined that this son of his was looking for such great authority.

Is that what they can think of?

Even if it is the entire southwest several times, above him Peng's family, there are the Banzhou Yang family, the Tianzhou Cen family, the Longzhou Zhao family, and the Guizhou Anjia.

Which one of them is not more powerful than their Yongshun Peng clan.

Peng Yuan can be sure that it is not only them who Yongshun Peng has received an edict from the imperial grandson to level the fields in the southwest.

But he didn't see any other family, and he wanted to rise up and do such things as rebellion and killing.

It is best to retain the status of the Peng family in the Yongshun Tu Emperor, and if not, it is necessary to ensure that the Peng family can still enjoy the glory and wealth.

This is the result that Peng Yuan hopes to see the most.

It was not because of the rebellion, facing the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army, and finally ending up with a full house of beheadings, or the result of hiding in the mountains with grievances.

"You're crazy! You're crazy! ”

Peng Yuan no longer knows how to say his own son.

Peng Zhong smiled: "As long as we keep Yongshun and drag it out until the court is in turmoil, the local forces that have been suppressed because of the new policies of the court will inevitably rise up one after another." At that time, it will be time for us to Yongshun Peng's and compete in the Central Plains.

Father, grandpa's body has become worse and worse in recent years.

When that time comes, you will be the emperor and your son will be the crown prince. In this world, it is not impossible to change the surname Peng! ”

Peng Yuan's chest rose and fell violently, and he gulped in the air.

"You...... Inverse...... I'm going to! ”

Peng Zhong sneered: "Father, it's too late now." The Tusi City side is already ready, and it will only take action tonight. The 3,000 soldiers and horses on the county side will also rush back to Tusi City after nightfall.

If my father were to tell the truth now, with the manpower we have here now, it would be absolutely impossible for him to beat the court officers and soldiers behind.

Does Father want to wait and see the final result, or does he want our Yongshun Peng family to be beheaded all over the house now? ”

was guessed by his son, Peng Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes were full of anger again.

However, what Peng Zhong said was not wrong.

Once he starts reminding Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing now.

The officers and soldiers of the court who followed behind the team could directly kill them from behind and kill them all.

Peng Yuan gritted his teeth tightly, snorted indignantly and coldly a few times, and finally held the reins, looked up to the sky and closed his eyes.

I can't control it myself.

……

Night.

In the northeast of Yongshun County, Peng's Tusi City, built in the mountains, is already brightly lit.

A huge bonfire is blazing in the city square.

Peng's Tusi City was built in a triangle in the mountains.

Diagonally sideways, trending from northeast to southwest, one layer higher than one layer.

The brick and stone foundations and wooden houses are layered on top of each other, but they have a different style under the light of the fire.

In the square, Peng gathered a large number of native women with barley-colored complexions, and gathered around the bonfire with the young men, singing the songs of the natives, and dancing the dances that the natives had danced for thousands of years.

And far away from the fire, the soldiers and horses that the Peng family had been raising in Tusi City had begun to quietly block off various key positions.

Not far outside the city, the three thousand soldiers and horses who rushed over from Yongshun County were also quietly waiting for the signal from the city.

Zhu Gaochi was drinking with Peng Tianbao.

Cups-by-cups of local self-brewed rice wine made Zhu Gaochi's face gradually ruddy.

It's just that after drinking, Zhu Gaochi's speed slowed down.

If Pang really has a disobedient heart, then it will inevitably happen tonight, he needs to stay sober, but he also needs to have a drink to strengthen his courage.

His gaze scanned the chaotic crowd in front of him.

Zhu Shangbing was constantly walking back and forth in the crowd in the distance, staring at those officers and soldiers to keep his mind on preventing drinking without permission tonight.

Even Zhu Shangbing, who is used to being very arrogant on weekdays, has to be vigilant at this time.

The old man personally sat in Dayong County, and Brother Xi commanded the whole army.

In this short period of more than a month, the imperial court invested no less than one million resources in the southwest territory.

And all this is to completely eradicate the Tusi system that has existed for hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty and end the situation of thousands of years of autonomy in the southwest.

That's why.

He and Zhu Gaochi are obviously princes, and they are willing to be bait.

The emperor and the grandson can face the military formation, and the two princes and sons of them are no longer a matter of being bait.

In Peng's Toast City, it was almost time for Peng Zhong to plan.

In the southeast of the mountain forest.

A huge army is advancing silently.

Zhu Yunxi, under the escort of the deputy general Puding Marquis Chen Huan, walked from the path between the valleys to the outside of a mountain village.

In front, there were already people from Jinyi who quietly touched it in advance.

When the two of them stood outside the village, there was already a slight movement in the village.

After a while, a brocade guard walked out of the village and waved at the army.

The army quickly sped up its preparations.

First of all, the officers and soldiers of the infantry camp began to stick to the village, along the flat land at the foot of the mountain, like a northwest direction, preparing to bypass a bend and attack Peng's Tusi City from the northeast.

A small number of officers and men climbed the mountain to the southwest.

These people wanted to go around to the south of Peng's Tusi City to block it and prevent any Peng's Chinese from absconding at night.

As for the Chinese army and the artillery barracks, they began to prepare in the open space that existed.

Mortars were fixed in solid pits dug out.

The muzzle of the gun is from the southeast, pointing to the northwest.

The generals of the artillery battalion began to give orders continuously.

This place is still two miles away from Peng's Tusi City, but it cannot be directly visualized.

They only know the distance between the two places, and as for the accuracy, they need to refer to the data given by the Ministry of Industry to adjust it.

"A hundred mortars and a thousand shells are enough to completely destroy the Peng's Tusi City in front."

With a smile on his face, Puding Marquis Chen Huan looked at the artillery camp position that was basically ready on one side, and spoke softly.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the other side of the mountain with some concern, with a glimmer of light.

"Wait for the signal."

"Be sure to wait for the signal from Qin Shizi and Yan Shizi, and wait until they have a place to hide from the shells, and then attack."
