Equalize the land, set up officials,

Abandoned health center, garrisoned new army...

After following this set of procedures, Yunnan will be the Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty, not the Yunnan of the Duke of Guizhou and the Yunnan chieftains.

Why is the Mu family called the King of Yunnan?

Isn’t it true that the Mu family has guarded Yunnan for generations and has intricate influence and connections there?

After abolishing the guard station and returning to the countryside, what kind of influence and connections does the Mu family have?

And how much rights do the chieftains have left?

The Mu family and the chieftain were not disloyal to the imperial court, but before they were loyal to the imperial court, they were more loyal to their own interests.

In this regard, they are no different from the gentry in the south. They are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and even more loyal to themselves.

After all, the court cannot compete with the people for profit.

As for whether Li Shu will shed a river of blood in this southwest barbarian invasion...

Sorry, are Li common people considered citizens?

Gentlemen are the people, and chieftains are the people!

This is also the reason why the Mu family and the chieftain are willing to lure the southwest barbarians into the country. So what if the people of Yunnan die because of the southwest barbarians?

What the Mu family and the chieftains lost was their hereditary rights and status!

"If everyone has no objections, then tomorrow let's contact the barbarian soldiers in the southwest, Taungoo, Siam, Laos, Annan, anyone we can contact. It's best to launch a panoramic invasion!" Chen said calmly, but

The vicious look in her eyes proved that in order to secure her son's position as Duke and to bring her son back, she would risk the whole of Yunnan.

The chieftains, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally nodded, no one in the group objected.

It took two hundred and sixty years for the Ming Dynasty to raise scholars, but this does not mean that the chieftains had to really sacrifice everything for the Ming Dynasty. If they could not even protect their own power, why should they still be loyal to the Ming Dynasty?

When the Duke of Guizhou and the chieftains reached an agreement, on the one hand they secretly summoned the old troops and recalled the dismissed old troops, on the other hand they also sent people to contact Taungoo, Siam, Laos, Annam and other countries in the southwest.

However, faced with the invitation put forward by the Duke of Guizhou to jointly divide the wealth of the people of Yunnan and ensure that everyone would gain something, the countries in the southwest had mixed reactions.

King Talong of the Toungoo Dynasty thought over and over again and finally chose to refuse. King Talong and the nobles of the Toungoo Dynasty knew very well what kind of behemoth the Ming Dynasty was, especially after hearing that the Ming Dynasty had recently become the ancestor of Taizu. Who would dare to do so?

Are you going to provoke Daming at this time?

When Ming Dynasty was weak, he had already made money by devouring some of Yunnan's chieftains. If he provokes Ming Dynasty now, if he provokes Ming Dynasty's royal division, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his troops?

King Ayutthaya of the Siam Dynasty and King Nanzhang of Laos obviously did not want to get involved in this matter. After all, as small countries bordering the Ming Dynasty, these small countries were difficult to separate from the Central Plains Dynasty. Any turmoil in the Central Plains Dynasty would have an impact.

to these small border countries.

Therefore, they are very sensitive to any information about the Ming Dynasty, the suzerain country. Although the road is difficult and the news is blocked, the news about the Ming Dynasty can still reach the border areas. Therefore, the King of Dacheng and the King of Nanzhang know very well that this is an internal matter of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a matter between the Ming Dynasty and the Mu family of the Duke of Guizhou. Why do they want to get involved?

Although King Long, King Dacheng, and King Nanzhang did not want to get involved, Li Weiqi, the emperor of the Annan Li Dynasty, did not think so.

Annan, they have never recognized themselves as Annan and Jiaozhi. They think that they are Zhengshuo of China and the country of Nanyue.

Therefore, they have a fanatical desire for the land of the Central Plains and dream of restoring the territory of the ancient Yue Dynasty.

And what is the coverage area of ​​Guyue Kingdom?

Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Hainan, Annan and other places all belong to the territory of the Ancient Yue Kingdom. Annan's current pursuit is to restore the strength of the Ancient Yue Kingdom. This is why Annan's heart is moved. They are too eager for the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Annan is the only corner of Southeast Asia left. Today they still call themselves South Vietnam and always covet the territory southwest of the Ming Dynasty. From this we can know how ambitious Annan is. They want to restore the glory of the Nanyue Dynasty so much that they

I really want to have the status and glory of a big country.

Therefore, facing the Yunnan Mu family's proposal to carve up Yunnan, Li Weiqi was moved.

It’s no wonder that Li Weiqi is not moved. After all, in the past, Taungyu, Dacheng, and Nanzhang all took away large tracts of chieftains from the former Yunnan and owned large tracts of land, but Annanque didn’t gain anything?

Since being taught how to be a man by Emperor Chengzu, Annan has been on a downward path. He has experienced the Li Dynasty, the Mo Dynasty, and now the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but Annan still has not given up his desire for the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Xuande abandoned the system of prefectures and counties, not only did the Ming Dynasty lose its base for advancing in the West, which led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty's status among the Western vassals, it also caused Annan's ambitions to disturb the border areas.

There was no chance that Annan would have bothered him, let alone now that the opportunity was presented to him!

Because of the reform of the land and the abolition of the guard post, the Mu Palace and the Yunnan chieftains have a strong sense of crisis. They are now willing to let the southwestern barbarians enter to maintain their status. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Annan was unable to fight in the past because he thought that although Yunnan belonged to the imperial court on the surface, it actually belonged to the Mu family and the Yunnan chieftains. They were equivalent to local warlords. They were not fighting for the imperial court, but to protect their own territory.

But now, this territory is no longer his, so there is no need to sacrifice his life.

After Li Weiqi was moved, he immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Mu family and the chieftains. Of course, the Mu family and the chieftains must also be sincere.

"Land, Annan needs Yunnan's land, at least half of it!"

Li Weiqi asked for half of the land in Yunnan, which was obviously a big deal. The chieftains refused before the Mu family could object. They were just kidding and asked for half of the land in Yunnan. What would their chieftains have left?

After a dispute between the three parties, Li Weiqi also understood that only by conquering Yunnan could he negotiate land. If he could not conquer Yunnan, even if the Mu family and the chieftains gave him half of Yunnan, he would not be able to eat it.

ah?

The Mu family and the chieftains did not want to continue arguing, lest they give any excuses. After all, the Mu family and the chieftains just wanted Annan to be the bandit, but they had no intention of letting Annan occupy the land in Yunnan.

After the three parties temporarily shelved the proposal with a tacit understanding, Li Weiqi raised another question: "The people currently stationed on the Yunnan border are the Ming Dynasty's new troops. How can we get in?"

"The Sword Comes"

Mu Jianbo from the Mu family said: "This matter is easy to handle. You disguised yourself as a caravan to enter the border, and we also sent people to hide in the dark. When the time comes, we will attack from both sides. Won't it be easy to seize the next border?"

The chieftains also expressed their willingness to help. After all, the fighting ability of the native soldiers was not weak. The native soldiers who hunted in the mountains of Yunnan were all good at shooting, and they could also use hidden weapons such as sentry arrows to ambush and capture the enemy.

A level is extremely easy.

After the agreement was made, the three parties started taking action...

Late at night a few days later, the officers and soldiers of the New Army who were on duty at Hekou Pass discovered a faint convoy approaching in the distance. If they looked closely, they saw an Annan caravan holding torches.

"Who are you? Why are you here so late at night?" the sentry asked vigilantly at the checkpoint.

The caravan outside the pass shouted: "General of the Ming Dynasty, we are merchants, but we encountered robbers on the way and delayed our trip. It is late at night, can you make it easier for us to enter the city?"

When the sentry heard that it was the robbers he encountered, he felt a little sympathetic, but still said: "Military order, the city gates will not be opened late at night, and you can enter the city again tomorrow."

The caravan outside the pass said again: "How about we rest by the city gate for one night?"

The sentry replied: "It's okay to lean against the city wall, but not at the city gate."

The caravan silently arrived under the city wall, untied the horses in front of the carriage and let them rest for the night. At the same time, the merchants of the caravan gathered under Hekou Pass to light a fire and fell asleep leaning on the carriage.

The sentries at the checkpoint stared at these Annan merchants with vigilance, and then breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they seemed to really want to find a safe place to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sentry at the checkpoint was about to open the city gate, he saw another caravan entering the pass. This caravan was under the banner of the Duke of Guizhou. It turned out to be the caravan of the Mu family. The sentinel

Their vigilance has relaxed a lot.

After all, ever since the imperial court began to abolish the Yunnan garrison and instead place new troops while equally dividing the land and disintegrating the Mu family's power, the Mu family has always seemed obedient. The imperial court has also given the Mu family sufficient preferential treatment, including various trade rights, etc.

It can be said that he plans to exchange wealth and honor for the rights of the Mu family.

Therefore, the Mu family's caravan not only appears in the south, but also has business contacts with various countries in the West.

It is normal for the Mu family's caravan to arrive now. The only strange thing may be why it came so early?

A sentry noticed that the guards seemed a little nervous and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with your faces?"

The manager of the Mu family caravan was stunned for a moment: "Is there something wrong with our faces?"

The sentry smiled and said: "My face is a bit ugly. I was traveling all night."

The shopkeeper showed an ugly smile after hearing this: "Ah, yes. There is nothing we can do about it. The carriage is loaded with fresh goods. The owner has to rush to deliver them to Annan. If it is late, the goods will be stale and the transaction will not be completed.

If you don’t tell me, you will inevitably get a beating.”

The sentry looked at the shopkeeper sympathetically: "You have worked hard too."

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "It's not hard work, it's just like running a business. You get up early and get back late."

After noticing nothing unusual, the city gates on both sides of Hekou Pass opened. Annan's caravan and the caravan of Duke Mu's family of Guizhou entered the pass together. The sentry was still directing the two caravans to move forward in a staggered manner, but suddenly a caravan

The guard came out, suddenly took out a knife and stabbed the sentry who was caught off guard in the abdomen.

The sentry's eyes widened and he looked at the Mu family guards in front of him in astonishment. Aren't they all Ming people? Aren't they all citizens of the Ming Dynasty?

Why?

The guard looked at the sentry's wide eyes and turned away with some shame. The next moment he pulled out the knife and the sentry fell to the ground with a plop, clutching his stomach. At this time, other Mu family guards and the barbarians hidden in the Annan caravan were

An attack was also launched. The hundreds of new troops guarding the Hekou Pass were caught off guard by the Mu family and the Annan barbarians. It was already too late when they launched a defense. The local soldiers of the chieftains also took the opportunity to shoot cold arrows and whistle arrows at the new army soldiers.

, a total of five hundred new troops died in Hekou Pass.

As all the new troops were killed in the battle, the shopkeeper of the Mu family caravan silently took off his hat and looked at the corpses and the smell of blood everywhere in the level. He frowned in disgust, and then said to the shopkeeper of the Annan caravan: "Our mission

It’s done, and I’ll leave it to you.”

The manager of the Annan caravan smiled and said: "Don't worry, our army has been waiting thirty miles away for a long time."

The manager of the Mu family's caravan looked at the barbarians who were still applying wounds to the corpses to prevent anyone from pretending to be dead. He waved and took the Mu family's guards and carriage back the same way. At the same time, the chieftains' soldiers also quickly evacuated.
