I

The Datong Army who dispersed went to various Yi ministries to preach the policy, and only slowly took it back a month later.

The effect is amazing.

Mu Kui of Mu Kua Zexi was the first to bear the brunt. When he learned that the Datong Army was preaching to nearby tribes, he actually took the initiative to send someone to contact them.

Then the Mukui surrendered.

He was willing to free the serfs and divide the land. Naturally, the Datong Army gave him preferential treatment. In the future, he would return to his native land, apply for him to be a county historian, and allow him to open a salt shop in the county seat. At the same time, one-third of the grain collected by Mukuo Zexi went to the Datong army, one-third was reserved for the county magistrate, and one-third was pocketed by Mu Kui.

"What? Dare to kill my missionary officer!"

"Mu Kui Anlong of Huajiao Zexi learned that our army was going to the Yi tribe to preach, so he secretly sent someone to contact Tumu. The Tumu didn't know what was good and got our army's missionary officer drunk and then killed him."

Huang Yao was furious, clenched his fists and said, "Send the troops and crush that village!"

"That stockade has been conquered by five hundred soldiers brought by the missionary officer," said the mission leader Tong Wenxuan. "Some soldiers were angry and killed many innocent people. Except for the old, weak, women and children, the Yi people in the stockade were all young and strong. He was killed to vent his anger. This problem is very serious and must be punished, but there are so many violations of military discipline that the military judge does not know what to do."

Huang Yao calmed down a little and thought thoughtfully: "The battalion commander is temporarily suspended and we will wait until Guizhou is pacified. We don't have to worry about it. Let's report it to the Ministry of War. I will personally write to His Majesty to plead for mercy."

How else to punish?

The battalion commander was sent to Luzon and demoted to lead the troops, and all the officers and soldiers in the battalion recorded major demerits. Even if Guizhou is defeated, the soldiers of this battalion will not be promoted. They must suppress the habit of killing innocent people indiscriminately - even if they have a reason.

Huang Yao said: "In three days, attack Huajiao!"

Mu Kui from Huajiao Zexi dared to encourage Tumu to kill the missionaries, so he naturally became the target of killing chickens to scare monkeys. If we don't kill this man, won't we chill the entire army?

Brothers and sisters Lu Tiande and Lu Tianxiang went out with the army with tribal warriors.

In addition to them, other Yi tribe warriors also came. All together, there are more than 2,000 people, and they are temporarily under the command of An Hualong.

An Hualong was the Mu Kui who surrendered. His territory is close to Bijie, and the degree of Chineseization is very high. He also knows that the Han army cannot stop it.

Those cannons, small cannons, and countless armored guns made An Hualong frightened.

An Hualong knelt down and said: "General, this Anlong is not convinced by Wang Hua. I am willing to lead the Yi warriors to attack his stronghold first for the general!"

Huang Yao said with a smile: "No need, just watch. Once this place is conquered, your whole family will move here, and you will become the history of this county."

The ruling center of Huajiaozexi was originally located in the mountain, but now it has been moved to Dafang City.

The terrain of Dafang City is relatively flat, and there are many Han people in the city. The cultivated land outside the city was also cultivated by military households, but now it is all occupied by chieftains.

Seeing the Datong army coming and surrounding the city, the young An Wei was trembling with fear.

"Treason, traitor, why did you recruit the Han army?" An Wei scolded.

Anlong said: "Ada, the Yi people have a feud with the Han people. Shuixi is the territory of the Yi people. Why should it be handed over to the Han people? Has Ada forgotten how many of us were killed by the Han army more than 20 years ago?" Clan members?”

An Wei angrily scolded: "You traitor, quickly open the city to meet the heavenly soldiers!"

During the She'an Rebellion, An Wei did not want to rebel, but was lured to a banquet by An Bangyan, and was kidnapped at the banquet. In order to save his life, he had no choice but to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. After being beaten violently by a gang, he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty army.

It was precisely because of these experiences that An Wei did not dare to fight the Han army, but his son was very tough.

Anlong said: "Ada, four years ago, we killed Fang Guoan and seized this Dafang City, and we have already forged a deep hatred with the Han people. Even if Kaicheng surrenders, won't we be settling old scores?"

Dafang City was built by Fang Guoan and was killed by Anlong a few years ago.

"Boom boom boom!"

The moat is not wide and can be crossed by putting up long wooden boards.

Huang Yao came with a large army and didn't even bother to fill in the moat. He just pulled out the artillery and started bombarding.

An Wei listened to the roaring artillery and remembered fighting the Ming army more than 20 years ago. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, but he suffered a stroke and it was very inconvenient to walk. He pointed at his son tremblingly and said: "Surrender quickly, maybe you can save your life!"

However, Anlong was already determined to resist, and said to his attendants: "I, Ada, are ill. Let's take him to rest."

"The traitor, the traitor!" An Wei was dragged away.

In the city, a fourteen-year-old Han boy took out a waist knife from under the bed.

Another lame Han blacksmith walked in with a hammer. He suppressed his inner excitement and said, "Major General, the Han soldiers are finally here, and the commander's revenge can be avenged!"

The boy's name is Fang Zeyu, the son of Fang Guoan. He was only ten years old when his family died tragically. He has been hiding in the city incognito.

In the entanglement of grudges, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.

Due to the constant rebellion of the Shuixi chieftains, the imperial court ordered Fang Guoan to build the city. But in the declining Ming Dynasty, how could money and food be allocated? Fang Guoan could only raise money and food by himself, and recruited a large number of Yi people as laborers, and built Dafang City day and night.

The Yi people's servants couldn't bear it. They rebelled and killed the supervisors, but were suppressed by Fang Guoan's troops.

Immediately, the surrounding Yi tribes began to rebel in series, gathering thousands of troops under the leadership of Anlong. An Rupan also sent troops to help. More than 30,000 Yi native soldiers came and quickly attacked Dafang City, which had not yet been completed.

If you only look at the previous ones, they are typical cases of government forcing the people to rebel.

But after Anlong occupied Dafang City, he conducted a massive plunder for three days. Countless Han people died tragically in the city, and all the Han people's belongings were robbed. The surviving Han people were captured by Anlong as slaves, and only the Han craftsmen were released.

"Uncle Qi, what can you do?" Fang Zeyu asked.

The blacksmith surnamed Qi said: "Contact the Han people in the city and wait for the opportunity to raise troops. Also, see if we can rescue the Han slaves in the city."

Most of the Han slaves were thrown into the mountains to cultivate the land or mine.

There are also some who farm around the city. When the Datong army came to kill them this time, all the Han slaves outside the city were urgently brought into the city and imprisoned.

"Hurry up, don't be lazy!"

Thousands of Han slaves had their hands and feet tied. The Yi soldiers waved bamboo whips and urged the Han slaves to carry supplies to the city despite artillery fire.

Anlong didn't have enough Yi soldiers, and the real elites were all recruited to Shuixicheng.

He regarded Han slaves as private property, and he was really reluctant to kill them, but he also didn't want to keep them in vain, so he forced them to carry supplies.

The slaves were in ragged clothes, and some even had only a piece of rag left on their bodies, barely able to cover their crotches, and even their buttocks were exposed. Their feet were tied and they could only move half a foot each time they walked. Due to malnutrition, he collapsed while walking and was severely beaten with whips by the Yi soldiers.

Anlong also sent Yi soldiers to search every house in the city. He wanted to centrally detain Han civilians.

Most of the surviving Han civilians are craftsmen, and there are also some small traders.

These Han people, Anlong, must stay, otherwise the city will not be able to maintain operation. But now that the Datong army is coming to kill him, and he is worried about the Han people, he can only lock him up first.

Fang Zeyu and Blacksmith Qi heard the movement on the street and hurriedly lay behind the door to check.

"What should I do?" Fang Zeyu asked.

The blacksmith surnamed Qi had no choice but to say: "Hide the weapons first."

Suddenly, the gunfire stopped.

The Huajiaozexi Yi people who came with the Datong Army ran to the city and shouted: "Ah Wu, I am your Ada, don't work for Anlong. All the people have surrendered to the Datong Army. The Datong Army is a good person. Unlike other Han people, Soldiers are different..."

After the artillery stopped, many Yi soldiers boarded the city again, only to hear the voices of their relatives urging them to surrender.

An Long's expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered: "Fire the arrow!"

"Boohoo!"

After a hail of arrows, the Yi people shouting outside the city were shot to death on the spot, and more than 30 people were shot and wounded. They were so frightened that they quickly retreated outside the moat.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, many Yi soldiers became angry.

When Fang Guoan built the city, it was true that he oppressed the Yi people. But after Fang Guoan died, Anlong occupied Dafang City and also oppressed the Yi people at the bottom. Most of the Yi people are not willing to fight for the chieftains. They just want to go home and work in the fields.

Mao Yongzhen and several slaves carried the rolling logs and whispered in Chinese: "Get ready to seize the city."

"I have no strength," said one of the slaves.

"You can carry a rolling log, but why are you afraid that you can't lift a knife?" Mao Yongzhen said sarcastically.

"We listen to Master Baihu," another slave said.

Mao Yongzhen's previous official position was that of a hundred households, and his life was relatively miserable. It can only be said that he was better than ordinary military households. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the hereditary military attachés of the Ming Dynasty had to be at least a thousand households, and the rest were all oppressed.

Mao Yongzhen said: "Listen to my order, pretend to be exhausted, and the wood will fall to the right. Chen Er will deal with the whip, Chen Si will grab the knife with me, and Lao Liu and Lao Hu will knock down the one in front..."

The Yi soldier cannot understand Chinese.

"One, two, three...down!"

Several slaves tilted their bodies and fell down pretending to be exhausted.

Immediately some Yi soldiers stepped forward to scold him, and the slaves split up and rushed out with all their strength.

Mao Yongzhen knocked down a Yi soldier. Chen Si took the opportunity to grab the knife, held the handle of the knife behind his back and stabbed him. After killing the enemy, he fell to the ground and rolled backwards, swinging his knife to cut off the rope between Mao Yongzhen's feet.

Mao Yongzhen came over with his hands raised, put the rope on the edge of the knife and pulled it several times. The rope binding his hands was also cut. He grabbed the knife, cut off the rope on Chen Si, and then rushed over to help the others.

Everything happened so fast that the Yi soldiers could not react at all.

The vast majority of the Yi soldiers were on defense at the top of the city, and there were not many responsible for supervising the work of the slaves. Mao Yongzhen and others were freed and immediately went to rescue other slaves. By the time the nearest defenders arrived, he had already rescued nearly a hundred Han slaves.

Other Han slaves also started to resist.

Even if they don't work hard, if Mao Yongzhen causes trouble like this, they will definitely be liquidated afterwards. At this time, we can only fight hard. Anyway, we will die whether we fight or not. If we fight, we may still be lucky enough to survive.

"Capture the city, capture the city!"

Mao Yongzhen shouted and ran towards the city gate.

"Kill all the Han people, including the Han craftsmen in the city!" An Long was furious.

The Yi soldiers at the top of the city were transferred to suppress the slaves, and some Yi soldiers were sent to massacre Han civilians in the city.

A group of Yi soldiers rushed into the street, and someone said: "I, Ada, was shot to death, and my body is lying outside the city. Dasu, do you still want to help Anlong fight? Our people have all taken refuge with the Han soldiers outside. , Anlong will definitely take revenge."

Dasu, the leader of this group of Yi soldiers, stopped and thought calmly: "The Han soldiers have powerful firearms, and Anlong will definitely not be able to defeat him. Our people have surrendered, so we should surrender too. But we are small and cannot defeat Anlong." soldiers. Anlong wants to kill all the Han people in the city, so we can save the Han people and perform meritorious service."

Dasu led the native soldiers from his tribe and ran towards the nearby streets, where the Yi soldiers were massacring Han people.

More than ten steps away, Dasu suddenly shouted: "The Han soldiers have entered the city, the Han soldiers have entered the city!"

The Yi soldiers who massacred the Han people were horrified when they heard this. They turned around and asked, "Have the Han soldiers really entered the city?"

"Coming in..." Dasu rushed to them and shouted, "Kill!"

The sudden jump was a huge success, and the massacre was instantly defeated.

Dasu said to the surviving Han people: "Follow me!"

Regardless of whether the Han people could understand the Yi language, Dasu led the people to kill in another street.

There were more and more Han people behind them, some of them still had weapons in their hands, which they had just picked up from the ground.

The blacksmith surnamed Qi was seriously injured and was about to die.

Fang Zeyu cupped his fists at Dasu and said, "I won't thank you enough for your kindness. I will definitely repay you generously in the future."

Dasu said: "Run quickly and cause chaos in the city. The Han soldiers have not entered the city yet."

Fang Zeyu pulled out his sword and shouted in Chinese: "I am the son of Fang Guoan. If you are a hero, follow me to seize the city!"

"Go together, go together!"

The Han people shouted in unison that they had had enough.
