Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 409 Win Southern Yunnan without a Fight
When the Gao clan and the Duan clan successively sent people to Sichuan and Shu to express their loyalty to the imperial court, the time had entered the beginning of June.
Everything in Jinguan City has become a thing of the past, less than one-third of the city's citizens have survived, and most of the city's wealth has been removed.
It can be said that after this catastrophe, this heavy city of Sichuan and Shu has been greatly injured, and it is impossible to recover without decades of recuperation.
It is precisely because of this that Sun Ning also returned to Yuzhou with the main force of soldiers and horses, and continued to use this important town of the Han people in Sichuan and Shu for many years as his foothold.
And the effect of the two killings in Kuizhou and Jinguancheng is also obvious, and now the barbarians of the Sichuan and Shu tribes are completely dead to the imperial court, as long as Sun Ning gives an order, these tribes scattered all over Sichuan and Shu will quickly assemble and condense into an army that dares to fight and obey the emperor's command.
After all, this time they not only saw the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the imperial court, but also gained a lot of benefits from it.
Kuizhou Long Family, nearly half of the property of Yizhou Tangmen Sun Ning is divided without blinking, even if it is divided by dozens of large and small tribes, these riches are worth their hard harvest for ten years or even longer.
Therefore, under this combination of grace and power, and thinking of the wealth of the Central Plains, the various departments of Sichuan and Shu are naturally willing to die for the imperial court and send troops.
However, everyone knows that at least for a short time, the imperial court will not go east.
After all, the southwest has not yet been truly unified, and all the soldiers need a period of time to recuperate after experiencing the successive battles to unify Sichuan and Shu.
Therefore, what is most valued at the moment is what kind of attitude will be given by southern Yunnan and Qianzhou.
Because of this, when the Duan Gao family sent envoys to Yuzhou, it naturally attracted the attention of all parties, and among them, the one who was most concerned about this matter was Mu Zhe who was still staying in front of Sun Ning.
It was a very painful time for Mu Zhe.
This ordeal is not only that he needs to travel continuously, once from southern Yunnan to Sichuan, once from Yuzhou to Jinguancheng, and then from Jinguancheng back to Yuzhou...... It was even more evident that there was pressure from the court and the emperor.
When he returned to Yuzhou this time, he accompanied Sun Ning, and as a result, he saw the elite generals of the Japanese battalion in Yuzhou, and the majestic and high-spirited sky-high spirit alone already made him feel frightened, which was the temperament that the soldiers and horses under the command of the Mu clan in southern Yunnan did not have.
And Sun Ning always talked to him in front of the car, pointed to this team and asked him: "Do you think these soldiers are better than your Mu clan's soldiers and horses?" If it is a battlefield battle, what are the chances of your Mu clan winning? ”
What can you say about wood ruts? How dare he say it?
can only praise the mightiness of the army again and again, and then promise several times that the Mu clan will never dare to be an enemy of the imperial court, and will only be loyal to the imperial court......
Although the emperor didn't say much, Mu Zhe had already realized a deeper meaning from it, if the Mu clan refused to send troops to the king, then in the eyes of the court, they were two-hearted, they were rebels, and they would have to meet each other at that time!
This made Mu Zhe extremely stressful for a period of time, and he looked forward to coming from southern Yunnan as soon as possible every day, but at the same time, he was afraid that the coming would bring an answer that would not satisfy the imperial court.
And today, before he waited for his family to bring a reply, Duan Gao and his family sent envoys one after another to meet the emperor, and they actually agreed with the emperor, they actually agreed to the emperor at the same time, and were willing to allocate 30,000 elite soldiers together to assist the court to go east and regain the world!
When this exact news reached his ears, Mu Zhe was stunned for a long time, and finally let out a helpless sigh.
Inevitably, it happened, and the last bit of luxury in his family was disappointed.
Duan Gao's family did not refuse the order of the imperial court for the sake of their own safety, but instead came up with more soldiers and horses than the imperial court requested, which would inevitably make the imperial court very satisfied.
And what made Mu Zhe feel even more uncomfortable was that this time, it was Duan Gao's two families who were loyal to the imperial court before their own family.
Originally, he was the first to show his loyalty to the emperor, but now he is the last one of the three.
Under the torment, he even wanted to go back immediately, urged the patriarch to nod as soon as possible, and then handed over the soldiers and horses.
Fortunately, this torment did not last long, and just five days after the envoys of the two Gao Duan families expressed their loyalty to the imperial court, the messenger of the Mu clan finally came to Yuzhou again, and brought a response that relieved Mu Zhe.
The next day, Mu Zhe immediately dressed up and asked to see the emperor.
"It seems that you Mu Clan have finally made a decision this time, and I hope this will be good news."
After seeing Mu Zhe, Sun Ning said with a light smile, looking like he was in his chest, and he was not afraid that you would not obey.
Mu Zhe didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said respectfully: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from His Majesty the Emperor." After deliberation from top to bottom, our Mu clan finally decided to be loyal to His Majesty and the imperial court, and we are not only willing to send the promised tribute to Yuzhou as soon as possible, but also allocate 40,000 troops to return to the Central Plains at the disposal of the imperial court! ”
The Mu family not only agreed this time, but also added another 10,000 on the basis of the requirements of the imperial court, and could also press the two families at the top.
Hearing him say this, the smile on Sun Ning's face became more and more warm: "Okay! I knew that your Mu clan was a loyal minister of Dayue, and sure enough, you didn't disappoint me!
"A loyal minister like you, the court will definitely not let down the stinginess. In this way, when the time comes to send troops, I will entitle your Mu clan as a loyal and righteous clan, and the patriarch of your Mu clan as the Marquis of Yunnan Yong, and in the future, I will ...... for the imperial court to Yongzhen in southern Yunnan."
Almost without thinking, Sun Ning promised the entire Mu family a lot of knighthood benefits in one go.
Obviously, this was all thought out in the morning, and it could be taken out just waiting for the Mu clan to officially return to obedience.
Moreover, Mu Zhe is almost certain that the benefits of the rewards received by the Gao and Duan clans are similar to those of their own.
However, none of this is important, the important thing is that it seems that the emperor is not dissatisfied with the Mu family's delay in making allegiance. And as long as the Mu clan expands the territory for the emperor in the future wars and rejuvenates Dayue, then on the day of success, the Mu clan will definitely get much more rewards than now!
So he hurriedly shook his spirits and bowed to Sun Ning again to thank him.
At the end, he asked with some curiosity: "Your Majesty, please Rong Chen dare to ask more, what is the attitude of the Qianlong family towards the imperial court?" ”
"Qianzhou Long family?" Sun Ning's smile suddenly turned cold, "Their attitude is already obvious, that is, relying on their remote location, they decided that the imperial court could not send troops to fight, so they didn't pay any attention." Not only did he refuse to send troops, but he didn't even send someone to swear allegiance to the imperial court! ”
