"Haha, I understand what you said. You must have deceived many officials in the past, allowing them to continue doing business with you for their own benefit. I don't deny that what you said is true. If the closure
Without these trading venues, the official income of the three southwestern provinces will indeed decrease, but if we tighten our belts and add support from the capital, our lives will still be passable. Can your lives be passable? This money
Our income accounts for half of ours, but this income accounts for 75% of yours. In some years, it can even account for 95%. Without this income, who will live better?
Are you sad?"
In the past, when they negotiated with the government, they would use money to talk things over. The government at that time would definitely agree. But after Rongkang said these words, the envoy knew that Rongkang was different from those people. Rongkang had already
All the accounts have been settled, and it will be very difficult for everyone. But the most difficult thing is of course the eighteen chieftains on the mountain. As the governor of the three southwestern provinces, Rongkang's life is difficult, but as he said
In the same way, as long as everyone tightens their belts, we can still live our lives, but yours will not.
"Your Majesty the Governor, this..."
This guy had a look of horror on his face. He did not expect that things would turn out like this. In his impression, the officials of the imperial court were all useless people. As long as they received enough money and both sides could live well, these people would not
He will look for trouble, but the person in front of him is different from those officials. He does not just want the stability of the three southwestern provinces. During the conversation, the envoy also felt that the other party has a certain degree of domineering, and the other party will never allow it.
The eighteen chieftains continued to live like this.
"There is nothing about this or that. Since I can say what I said, I must implement it. These boots are very expensive, so I accepted them. Of course, it does not mean that I will do anything for you.
In the next few days, I hope you can all reflect on it. In the future, the three southwest provinces will definitely not be like this. If you are willing to cooperate, I will never resort to force. But if you are unwilling to cooperate,
On the day when the weather changes, let’s all pray for peace and see our guests off!”
Faced with such a little guy, Rongkang is unwilling to say anything to such a person. Since you have already sent boots, this represents the attitude of you people. I am the governor of the three southwest provinces, how can I still be afraid?
You guys can't do it. If I were afraid of you, I wouldn't be an official in this place.
Many government officials in the Governor's Mansion were retained in their posts. They had never been so arrogant when facing the envoys of these chieftains before, because General Long did not take any strong measures against the eighteen chieftains at that time, which made the eighteen chieftains almost trampled on them.
When it came to their heads, Rong Kang was speaking so energetically, so naturally they would not be idle. They picked up the guns in their hands and sent these people out.
"In your opinion, will they take any countermeasures if I do this?"
After these people are kicked out, Rongkang will have to make preparations. He said it just now, but he also has capital. Otherwise, how could he have fought against General Long for so many years? Now we have to adopt some strategies for this.
That's right, you can't just talk and not work. If this happens a few more times, the people will probably lose confidence in you. How long can a governor who loses confidence stay here?
"Their biggest countermeasure is to go down the mountain and rob..."
Lu Linshan has not been here long, but he has investigated these chieftains very deeply. He has not grasped the situation on the mountain, but as long as they leave the mountain, he will still know what will happen next.
The chieftains all have their own army, and there are quite a lot of them. Almost all the men in the village are soldiers. They carry out various production work when they have nothing to do. Once the chieftain blows his horn, then all the men in the village are soldiers.
Everyone will go home and take out their weapons, and then follow the chieftain to the battle. If the battle is victorious, everyone can divide the spoils. After death, the chieftain will also control the food and drink of your whole family, so they have very strong fighting power.
.
General Long had rejected their unreasonable demands before, so these people immediately gathered their troops, then rushed down from the mountains on their horses, and looted many surrounding prefectures and counties, because they came very suddenly.
Many people and officers and soldiers around were not alert and were quickly defeated by them.
General Long was naturally not a pushover. When he heard about such a thing, he immediately gathered his troops and led an army to encircle and suppress them.
At this time, the chieftains immediately began to retreat. They knew where their advantage was, that is, they did not have so much food and supplies. They had to grab a place in one place, so they could advance and retreat freely. As long as General Long did not gather the army,
Then they would rob and cause chaos around, but if General Long's army gathered, they also knew that they were no match, especially at the foot of the mountain, so these people immediately returned to the mountain.
After General Long's army arrived at the foot of the mountain, these people had nothing to fear. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they defeated several generals under General Long one after another.
There were too many casualties among his men, and it was impossible for General Long to continue the attack with his army. So at this time, General Long could only retreat first. When General Long's army retreated, these people immediately sent out troops to pursue them. Not only did they give Long a
The general's army caused losses and looted the surrounding areas again. Therefore, among the three southwestern provinces, the counties closer to the Eighteen Chieftains were the poorer they were.
Some counties can be robbed twice a year. Even if the family had some wealth, it would have been robbed long ago. As for ordinary people, if they have other ways to survive, they will definitely move to other places.
Only those who can't live without the land can only continue to stay here, praying to God every day, and never fall out with the chieftains, otherwise their war horses will rush over at any time and kill them.
The little food they have has to be robbed, and half of their family will die in the next year...
