0400, buy slaves
If he can really marry the Luo Wufeng family, from the perspective of overall strategic interests, it is indeed a good note for Prince Xiong.
However, let the Luo Wufeng family continue to maintain the Tusi slavery system, exclude the Han people externally, oppress the clansmen internally, and engage in what kind of "listening to the tune but not listening to the announcement", and in the end, it can't be adjusted, and Prince Xiong resolutely can't agree.
Also, the toast of the Luo Wufeng family has always been a woman, after the marriage of the two families, do you want the evil woman in front of you to be the master of the house?
As a man, Xiong Chu is even more psychologically unacceptable.
How can these contradictions be resolved?
If you bring it up face to face now, although you can appear to be above board, but if the two sides can't get along, how should the Luo Wufeng family be treated in the next southern expedition?
If you wait until you have a firm foothold in the future, and then use coercive measures to remove the slavery system of the Feng family, will it seem too despicable and shameless?
Using despicable and shameless means against a woman, although Xiong Chu is a killer, he still has a great mental burden in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to it all of a sudden.
However, the uninvited arrival of the military advisor finally gave Xiong Chu a backbone.
Of course, the reason why Wan Lian came so timely was because Lan'er and Yan Erniang used the golden eagle to send a message urgently.
As soon as Wan Lian arrived, Xiong Chu simply convened a meeting of the entire core layer to study the future strategy and strive to come up with a feasible policy.
"My lord, Miss Feng Suqin's statement is credible. Wan Lian started with a clear meaning and went straight to the point: "Yunnan Muwangfu is rampant, oppressive of officials and people, and ** Tusi, this is a long-standing fact. ”
Mu Rui wanted to annex the Luo Wufeng family, but he was killed after being hit head-on, and his son Mu Qiyuan was even more arrogant after inheriting the king of Yunnan. When the governor of Yunnan came to Muwang's Mansion to discuss matters, he could only enter and exit through the side door, and he could only stand under the steps to talk about things, but could not enter the lobby. ”
"In June this year, Mu Qiyuan, the king of Yunnan, because of the conflict with the governor of Yunnan, actually sent troops to surround the governor's yamen, and sent Hongyi artillery to bombard. His mother knew that Mu Qiyuan's disaster was too big and that he had reached the point of exterminating the Nine Clans. After the old woman cried bitterly for three days, she poisoned Mu Qiyuan to death. ”
"Now it is Mu Tianbo who inherits the title of King of Yunnan, and this guy is not a good thing. It has only been half a year since his father was poisoned by his grandmother, and it can be said that his bones are not cold, but he has already quarreled with the governor of Yunnan three times. ”
At the same time, Mu Tianbo did not dare to attack the Luo Wufeng clan in the west, but launched an attack on the Ah Mi Tusi Pufu Yuan in the south. Without accident, the Mu Wangfu army lost 3,000 soldiers again and returned with a heavy defeat. ”
"Mu Wangfu didn't know it, and launched two wars in a row to annex the surrounding Tusi, and the result was that the whole army was wiped out. This is self-exaggeration, so that the surrounding toast can see through the hypocrisy of Mu Wangfu. ”
"Mu Wangfu has lost its due deterrent power, and the seventy-three families in Yunnan are secretly conspiring and ready to move. There are various signs that the fall of King Mu's Mansion is already in sight. ”
"The Luo Wufeng family has lost its pillars, and the Yuanmou Tusi Wu Bikui in the west has taken the opportunity to sit big, and Yunnan is about to be in chaos. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, a great opportunity from heaven to the Lord. ”
"If we agree to marry the Luo Wufeng family, then we will have a reason to send troops, and we can go south with great fanfare, and even the imperial court will not be able to interfere, because this is a dispute between local tyrants. ”
"An Bangyan and Hao Chongming in the north have to deal with Zhu Xieyuan's five-province coalition army, and now they have no time to take care of the shape of Yunnan. If we don't take the opportunity to do it, once An Bangyan and Hao Chongming suffer a defeat and retreat south, the Luo Wufeng family may not be able to stop it. ”
"Our requirements are not high, just destroy the 20,000 elite troops of Wu Bikui and turn Yuanmou into our foothold. As for how to take advantage of the chaos in the future, make profits, and strive for our own interests as much as possible, then each depends on his ability. ”
The smile on Chu Xiong's face was more ugly than crying: "When the military advisor said this, the marriage between the two families is like doing business, and it seems that he is ready to turn his face at any time, what is that, right?"
Wan Lian smiled: "What the lord said hit the nail on the head, marriage is business." Why did An Bangyan get involved with Luxury Chongming? Because Shuixi Tusi's mother was Luxury Chongming's sister. In other words, Luxury Chongming is the uncle of An. ”
"The various toasts in Yunnan-Guichuan have always relied on the relationship between in-laws to maintain a balance. In order to compete for greater interests, they usually fight each other to the death, and once they encounter foreign enemies, they will join hands to fight together. ”
"After we marry the Luo Wufeng family, we will naturally have to be unanimous with the outside world. We can commit to holding off the invasion of Tibetan and Qiang forces in the west, and to deal with pressure from the north, east, and south together. ”
"As for the few issues that the lord is worried about, there is no need to care about them now. As long as Feng Suqin's mother Feng Luan is dead, other matters will naturally be up to us. ”
In mid-December of the first year of Chongzhen, Xiong Chu led the East Road army to move to the north of the Qingyi Qiang pasture in Dongbu County (now Baoxing County) for five days.
The vanguard of Sima Cheng's trapped camp had not yet reached the densely populated area when it was blocked by a Turkish army. Because of the language barrier between the two sides, as a result, the two sides did not say the right thing, and they became tense and on the verge of breaking out.
Conflicts with local Turks near Yazhou (present-day Ya'an) will affect the entire southward combat objective, which is not in the plan. So after Xiong Chu received the report, he immediately rushed to the front with Feng Suqin.
Through guò Feng Suqin's communication with the other party, Xiong Chu finally understood why there was a conflict.
Because Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne as the new emperor this year, the imperial court forcibly implemented the "land reform and return to the stream", and the order that the 2,000 troops of the Tsing Yi Qiang Tusi had just been transferred to Mianzhu was a critical period of turmoil in the hearts of the people.
Sima Cheng led the vanguard of the East Road army to arrive, but was mistaken by Tsing Yi Qiang for an army sent by the imperial court to exterminate them, so he could not let them go.
If this is all the case, maybe Feng Suqin will be able to borrow the road quickly after she goes out in person.
In fact, this is not the case, which makes Feng Suqin feel very embarrassed.
Seeing that Feng Suqin wanted to speak and stopped, Xiong Chu was a little puzzled: "What's going on?"
Sima Cheng said, "Master, it's like this. When we came, we saw more than 30 people in the cave dressed in tattered sheepskins and cooking wild vegetable soup, thinking that they were outsiders. And they're not very old, so I'll keep them. ”
"The guy in front of me who led the troops said that these people were his, and asked me to hand them over. I asked them what they meant, and they didn't want to go back, so Bayano asked us to compensate the scalpers. ”
Xiong Chu was dizzy when he heard this: "Compensate scalpers?" So, they don't want people anymore, but instead they want scalpers?"
Feng Suqin said with a smile: "Bayano's original intention was not to ask for scalpers. According to the words of your Han people, you want us to pay for it, and you can be regarded as buying these people back. In this way, Tsing Yi Qiang has face. ”
"Buying people?" Prince Xiong's face suddenly became unsightly: "I was once sold by others and sold to the king as a slave, of course I know the tragic end of being a slave." Now these people are going to turn the world upside down, and they want me to buy slaves, are they impatient?"
Feng Suqin's face was also a little embarrassed: "You can't say that, after all, this is on someone else's territory." If we want to go along with the gì guò, I'm afraid that you will be wronged for the time being. ”
If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, of course Xiong Chu understands.
The reason why he was angry and heard that he was going to pay for someone was because it touched the hidden pain in Xiong Chu's heart. Back then, he and Lan'er were other people's slaves, they fought when they wanted, and sold them when they wanted.
"How much?" Prince Xiong could only endure it temporarily, but deep down he had already hated the hateful slave owner to the end.
Feng Suqin shook her head: "Tsing Yi Qiang and our Luo Wuqiang belong to the same branch, and the price is not expensive. I have seen it in front of me just now, and those thirty or so are the lowest Gaxi. There are thirteen female babies in it who have not started a family, and each has four scalpers. In addition, there are four male babies, each with two oxen. ”
Xiong Chu was not angry: "Gaxi, what is Gaxi?"
Feng Suqin nodded: "In our tribe, there are five levels for different people: Zi, Nuo, Qunuo, Aga and Gaxi. It is what you Han people call toast, which is the most noble. Nuo, that is, the black bone, belongs to the second-class superior class, what are you Han nobles called. ”
"Qu Nuo is a free man, he can marry freely, and he belongs to the third class. and possessed the land and goods that the Tusi had given them, as well as a small number of slaves. Qu Nuo was actually a domestic slave, who gained military merits in the war, and then got rid of slavery and became a free man. ”
"Aga works in the 'ploughing land' divided by his master, and must live in a small hut next to his master, who is always on call and obeys his master's call, and cannot move at will. They were married by their masters, and the children they had were not their own, but their masters' Gasi. ”
"Gaxi is the lowest domestic slave, what do you Han people call Zhuangguo baby. Usually, the gifts between the various tribes are given between Tusi and Nuo, and they are generally given as gifts by matching men and women. The vast majority of the slaves who were traded outside were Gaxi. ”
"The yellow flower girls that you Han people call are the most valuable, because they will soon be able to give birth to a new Gaxi. Each girl is worth four oxen, or thirty sheep. A young man is worth two oxen, or fifteen sheep. The other slaves negotiated the price on the spot according to the actual situation. ”
It turned out that he was sold by Jiudao Villa back then, and it was worth two scalpers?
It's also too worthless, so the more Xiong Chu listens, the more angry he becomes.
But Prince Xiong knew that he couldn't lose his temper casually now, and he had to get out of this place as much as possible.
Not only can you save a large number of people, but it is also a good way to increase your own strength.
Thinking of this, Xiong Chu turned his head to look at Yan Erniang: "Erniang, how many cattle and sheep did we bring out?"
Yan Erniang smiled reluctantly: "We brought it out for food on the road, and the sheep were too small to be brought." There are only more than 300 cattle, and there are quite a few yaks. However, we still have food, and this time more than 4,000 people brought out a total of 400,000 catties. ”
Xiong Chu shook his head: "The grain can't be moved, because I have nowhere to grab it." Take out the cattle and yaks, Feng Suqin, you hurry up and go out to talk to them about business, I want the yellow flower girl and the young man. ”
