In all fairness, Xie Jin's scruples are not unreasonable. Zhu Su came to the southwest in order to strengthen the imperial court's rule over the southwest, so that the process of the Ming Dynasty's control of Annam and radiation of South Asia would be smoother in the future.

It is unrealistic to let all the toasts in the southwest be changed and returned to the stream. To put it bluntly, Zhu Su wants to establish the prestige of the government, but also to win over the hearts of the Tusi departments, so that they willingly accept the control of the imperial court. Instead of wanting to let them deviate from morality, or even rise up.

The rebellion was instigated by the Qin clan, which involved an intricate relationship between the imperial court and the Tusi. It is true that the Qin family is oriented to China, if it were not for this, the Tusi surnamed Qin would not have learned the Han culture, and he would have looked no different from the Han people. Their own tribe is also very important in Lianzhou, and if they are blamed, it may lead to even greater riots.

But if they can't come up with enough weight to be the culprit, the other resentful merchants and Tusi will definitely be separated from the government, and the little prestige that the government has erected will definitely collapse.

In the letter, Xie Jin also gave his advice: privately warn the Qin family, and force the Qin family to pay the price and accept the court officials to settle in; At the same time, all the convicts who participated in the riots in the prison were enslaved. In this way, he not only knocked the Qin clan, but also gave an explanation to other toasts. After all, among those who were imprisoned and imprisoned, there were Tusi people and Han merchants. The government's handling of it in this way can be regarded as treating everyone equally, or it can be said to be reasonable.

Xie Jin is still young, but this suggestion is a serious remark from the old man.

However, Zhu Su thought about it for a long time and decided to stick to his decision.

He found Li Wenzhong and said to him: "Brother Bao'er, I have been practicing here for so long, and the sword only knows how to sharpen, how can I know its benefits?" It's also time to test the sharpness of the brethren. ”

……

The Qin clan belongs to the first line of the large clan in Lianzhou.

The Chin family mainly deals in nanzhu and timber, but also operates a grain business. The big tribes of Lianzhou, many families run these businesses, produce high-quality Nanzhu by themselves, sell them to merchants, and then buy all kinds of treasures from the merchants in the Central Plains to decorate their power here. The Qin clan was the largest Xu tribe in the local area a long time ago, and took advantage of the change of dynasty in the Yuan and Ming dynasties to annex many small Tusi and the ownerless fields and pearl ponds left here when the Yuan court officials and nobles fled, so the power of other tribes in Lianzhou is far from being comparable with the Qin clan.

The head of this generation of the Chin clan is Chin Meng.

Qin Meng is thirty-two years old Chinese New Year's Eve, just in the prime of life, with an angular face, resolute and tough, he does things like his looks, vigorous and resolute, once he makes a decision, there is no retreat, and he will never stop until he achieves his goal. Originally, such a character lacked tactfulness and was not suitable for business, but the environment of doing business in Lianzhou was different from that of Central Plains China, and it was useless to make money in harmony here, and the guarantee of doing business was absolute force and power.

The size of the Qin native army was about 2,000 people, all of whom were fierce and brave Xu men, as well as many outlaw swordsmen recruited from the Central Plains and Nanyang. Their Tusi became a country of its own in the Ming Dynasty, and the Qin prisoners of the imperial court reached their territory, and how to deal with them was only a matter of their Tusi's words, so among the local soldiers under his command, there were many outlaw swordsmen recruited from the Central Plains and Nanyang. This is a team of absolute outlaws, and even the pirates and thieves in the South Seas in the past, as well as the bandits in the mountains and forests, are easily unwilling to provoke them, so the Qin family's business in Lianzhou has always been smooth.

Although Qin Meng is young, he has been doing business for many years, and many things are on track, and he no longer needs to show his head in person, unless it is a major event that is difficult to decide, his subordinates will naturally do it according to the rules of the past, and there is no need to ask him, so Qin Meng's life is very leisurely, and he reads Chinese books on weekdays, or is arrogant and lascivious. Except for entering the city every quarter to negotiate with those big businessmen about the collection of Nanzhu, he doesn't need to do other things.

The last time he entered the city to sell pearls, Qin Meng felt humiliated. Now that he heard that because of his plan, he was beaten into a pot of porridge in the field, and he felt that he had vented his hatred.

Of course, he consciously did it seamlessly, and it was inevitable that he would be proud in his heart.

Qin Meng, who was open-minded, regained his former extravagant days. On this day, he left the couch refreshed. Yesterday his men brought a beautiful woman from the South Seas, who was said to be the daughter of a nobleman in the land of Annam in Siam, so he became mad and ruthless, and did not get up until this time.

I was about to eat some morning food, but I saw someone outside rushing in and said, "Patriarch! Patriarch! Oh no, our mansion is surrounded! ”

Qin Meng, who had a comfortable face, suddenly jumped up and asked in surprise, "Who dares to surround our Qin clan?" ”

"I don't know yet, these people don't have a banner. A few of our clansmen stepped forward to negotiate, but they were killed on the spot by random arrows! The man said in a hurry.

Qin Meng's color changed, and he didn't talk about the reason, and first shot the warriors in the palace with arrows, which made it clear that he was going to die, no matter who he was, he could only fight by force at the moment. Without saying a word, Qin Meng jumped to the wall with an arrow and stretched out his hand to take off a treasure knife.

These toasts, no matter how sinicized they are, the wildness in their bones has not been lost. The same is true of Qin Meng, he is in the prime of life, and he is still confident and courageous.

Several healthy servants saw that Lord Tusi had raised his knife, and each took his own blade, and rushed out with Qin Meng, and before he had taken a few steps, he met one of Qin Meng's younger brothers, and he rushed over with a crawl, and said in horror: "Big brother, big brother, ...... outside."

Before he finished speaking, screams and shouts could be heard outside.

This is the back house, even the back house has sounded the sound of shouting and fighting, the strong enemy has clearly invaded the mansion, Meng Qin rushed into the courtyard with a knife, and all the family members who heard the news ran out and made a mess of porridge. He couldn't take care of them for a while, the native soldiers of the Qin clan were brave and good at fighting, although the guards left in the house were only more than 200 people, but they were the elite of the elite, and when they heard the alarm, they were already fully armored, gave up the front yard, and rushed to the back house to guard the toast.

The land of the Chin clan is very large, and the people are also very numerous. However, most of them are distributed along the river and coastal areas, and the Qin family's mansion is built in a clean mid-mountain. Qin Meng didn't understand how the enemy bypassed the local camp he was stationed at the foot of the mountain and entered his house, but it was still too late, and the guards who gathered in the back house took a cursory look, and there were nearly two hundred people, all of them wearing armor and carrying strong bows and quivers, and they were murderous.

Qin Meng raised his thick eyebrows and ordered: "Quick! Take your blade, kill down the mountain, and join most of the men! ”
