Zhu Yijun gave an order, and the state apparatus of the entire empire began to rebel against Yang Yinglong in the southwest.

Not long after receiving the order, Liu Wei rushed to Chongqing with 10,000 infantry who were good at mountain warfare, and traveled day and night all the way, using horses and boats instead.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has increased its investment in infrastructure, and Rao is the southwest region, and many official roads have been built because of the preparation for the future reform of the land and the strengthening of the control of Wu Sizang, so it is not a problem to ride a horse and boat from Kunming to Chongqing, an important town in the southwest.

At that time, Yang Yinglong was still attacking Chongqing Fotu Pass.

Liu Chengsi, the defender of Fotu Pass, gave Yang Yinglong a resolute counterattack, so that Yang Yinglong's rebel Miao soldiers suffered heavy losses under Fotu Pass.

Yang Yinglong intended to recruit Liu Chengsi, but Liu Chengsi did not agree, and even took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack his camp at night, making Yang Yinglong retreat directly to Jiangjin in embarrassment.

This can also be regarded as the side effect of Yang Yinglong's pandering to the old party and suppressing the children of the military began to be reflected.

After Liu Chengsi saw that many of his bosses and colleagues had been transferred to important civilian positions, he naturally wanted to transfer to important civilian positions.

After all, if you become a civilian, you will have more power, not to mention, and you don't have to play with your life.

For this.

He stayed up late almost every day to study the theory of Jinxue compiled by Zhu Yijun in the name of Zhang Juzheng, and also worked hard to practice the new rites, just to let the new party of the imperial court see how high his consciousness was in the future, and he would also be converted to a civilian position, so that he would not have to worry about dying on the battlefield if he had great power.

You must know that military generals are also human beings, and they also cherish their lives.

If they could have power and wealth without risking their lives on the battlefield, most of them would naturally not be willing to charge into battle to gain merit.

Therefore, Liu Chengsi refused to surrender and was particularly tenacious, Rao is Yang Yinglong raised 50,000 Miao soldiers to Fotu Pass again, and he could not let Yang Yinglong capture Fotu Pass.

"Either because of the death of guarding Xinli and letting his descendants go to Xingming Academy to be members of the Son of Heaven, or because of guarding Xinli and returning to Beijing to become officials, no matter what the result is, it is better than surrendering the rebels!"

"So, brothers, the children of our military households cannot betray their father because they are afraid of death for a while, and we must let the world return to the era when military households were inferior to domestic slaves!"

Liu Chengsi even personally cheered up the Han soldiers guarding the Buddha Pass and publicized why they had to defend the Buddha Pass.

The upper and lower official schools of Fotu Pass are all united in hatred of the enemy, and with a mere number of 600 soldiers, Yang Yinglong has not been able to open Fotu Pass and capture Chongqing.

"Now it seems that he Zhu Yijun has improved the status of the military household, allowing the military ministers to specialize in civilian positions, and paying equal attention to civil and military affairs, which is not a stupid move, at least now although the gentry do not embarrass us, but let these martial artists die one by one!"

"You can't surrender!"

"We really can't give him a higher price than him Zhu Yijun, at most we only promise to pay equal attention to civil and military, but then the gentry are afraid that they will no longer secretly support us, and the generals will still not support us because of this."

"After all, there is no need for them to betray the court and become a traitor when they have not improved much in the status of my Yang family."

Yang Yinglong felt a headache about this, and said to Yu Maochang and Song Wenbin and other scribes.

"That's what the general said! Since ancient times, fish and bear's paws have not been able to have both. ”

"But the general can only choose to restore the old system, after all, if he doesn't choose this way, why would the general rebel?"

Yu Maochang said at this time.

After hearing this, Yang Yinglong said with a solemn expression: "You are right! If it weren't for the fact that the Miao people began to be disobedient because of the new rites, who would want to rebel? ”

"General, looking at it from below, since it is to restore the old system, and those who are born and die for the general are also to be masters, and there are slaves to make, you might as well order that after taking the Fotu Pass, the soldiers at the bottom will also reward the three landless Han people as two-legged slaves, so that the soldiers will fight bravely!"

Yu Maochang offered another poison plan at this time.

Yang Yinglong bowed his head after hearing this: "This strategy is wonderful!" He Zhu Yijun knows that he will be lured by profit, and I Yang will not be able to. ”

As he spoke, Yang Yinglong ordered: "Pass the order, take the Fotu Pass, and reward the three landless Han people as two-legged slaves, and the official schools will be doubled!" ”

"Yes!"

The Miao soldiers under Yang Yinglong's command were indeed greatly boosted by this.

After all, everyone wants to be a slave owner, especially a Han slave owner.

Therefore, in history, whether it is the Mongols, the Jurchens or other ethnic minorities, they are particularly active in entering the customs and robbing the Han people as slaves, and even bring their own dry food and armor soldiers, and everyone fights bravely.

And the landlord class among the Han people also wanted to be slaves of the Han people, so Yu Maochang colluded with them.

Anyway, the history of the Han people is the history of being enslaved and rebelling against being enslaved, that is, the history of being eaten or not wanting to be eaten.

And now, the rebel Miao soldiers under Yang Yinglong are even more afraid of death attacking Fotu Pass, one by one even killing red eyes, it seems that behind Fotu Pass is the Han people mine all over the mountains, the value of which is comparable to gold.

"Han slaves are really easy to use, the fields are good, the cloth is good, they don't have any temper, they are very deferential, they are better than dogs!"

"My father used it before, but he escaped later and didn't catch it back, if I can catch more this time, I can also eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas without doing anything like the Yang family."

Qin Dashan, a Miao soldier under Yang Yinglong, told his fellow villager Lou Wuniu about the benefits of owning Han slaves.

After hearing this, Lou Wuniu said: "No wonder you rushed so desperately in the morning, obviously you were injured on the head!" It's just that the Han people in this Fotuguan are different, and they are not afraid of death, what's going on? ”

"That's because he was poisoned by Xinli, so the general had to raise troops to eliminate Xinli, otherwise we Miao people would not be able to have Han slaves."

Qin Dashan said.

Lou Wuniu nodded, and then followed the fearless rush to the cloud ladder on the Buddha Diagram Pass.

Not only Lou Wuniu, but also many Miao soldiers were like chicken blood, because they knew that Han men were more diligent, and Han women had whiter and more tender skin.

Yu Maochang also smiled at the scene of these Miao soldiers charging, he seemed to have seen that in the future, these scholars and doctors could once again let the world return to the era when scholars could let the warriors and ordinary people kneel when they saw him, and the emperor should be polite when he saw himself, and he could gain fame and fortune by just talking about his heart every day.

"Hold on!"

"Only by letting these Miao people know how difficult it is to enslave us, will they know fear, will they obediently accept new gifts, will they obediently learn the techniques of farming, will they obediently come to buy our cloth and trade with us!"

"Brothers, if you don't die, you can't survive, you can't live in peace!"

"We still have to be humiliated and scolded by a showman, and we can't fight back, so we have to watch our wives and sisters being forced to be slaves to the eighty-year-old sour literati because of the Qing army!"

"It's not like now, because Xinli can get a military merit medal, you don't have to kneel when you see the lord, and if you are wronged, you can tell the emperor what kind of pickled things are showing!"

And Liu Chengsi still did not give up, and when the firearms were about to run out, he personally slashed people at the city gate with a knife, and encouraged his soldiers while chopping the Miao soldiers who rushed up.
