Shaodang Mountain, Qiang tribe.
The names of many Qiang tribes come from the names of their locations, such as Shaodang Qiang, Baima Qiang, Dianling Qiang, etc. However, the group of Shaodang Qiang around Milu had long since wandered away from their ancestral land.
The Shaodang Mountain near him was changed back by Milu himself.
At the foot of the Shaodang tribe, there are a large number of open and flat areas for Qiang people to cultivate. In addition, sweet potatoes and potatoes are also planted on the once-abandoned hillside. Ordinary grains are not easy to grow on hillsides, but sweet potatoes and potatoes can be grown without picking the ground.
Mi Lu returned to the Shaodang tribe. There was a small town at the foot of the mountain, with residences and houses everywhere.
This is where the Qiang people live.
Mi Lu returned to the Qiang King's mansion where he lived, and arranged for people to notify the chiefs of the Qiang tribes below to discuss matters. It didn't take long before nine people entered together.
Everyone is a leader of a large tribe, including Zhong Qiang, Dian Ling Qiang, Shaodang Qiang and other clan leaders.
One by one, they bowed to Midu and sat down.
Mi Lu looked around and said, "I have invited you here because of the visit of His Majesty the Ming Emperor to Guzang County, Weiwu County. I personally went to the county seat and asked the county magistrate Jiang Ji about the emperor's situation."
"Magistrate Jiang said that the emperor came to Liangzhou this time to stay in Liangzhou to conquer the Western Regions, and is currently recruiting troops."
"I think this is our opportunity."
"Shaodang Qiang must be revitalized, all Qiang tribes must be revitalized, and all Qiang people must move out of Poqiang County. They cannot rest on their laurels and remain in this small mountain. Further actions must be taken to have a better future."
"The simplest way to achieve this goal is to actively participate in the war and perform meritorious service on the battlefield."
Mi Lu's eyes were determined and he said: "I have decided to mobilize the elite Qiang people from various tribes, led by Shaodang Qiang, to gather 10,000 people, and go to Guzang County to meet the emperor together to express our willingness to participate in the war. What do you think? how?"
"I object!"
In the crowd, Dian Sha, the leader of the Dian Ling Qiang tribe, spoke up to retort.
The ancestors of Dian Cha also had Qiang kings. It's just that the generation who came to Diancha has been passed down for many generations, and from generation to generation, they don't know whether they are direct descendants. Diancha also worked in mining before, and he was a rather arrogant rogue with some skills.
Taking advantage of Jia Xu's arrival, Dian Cha gathered a group of people and quickly formed a large tribe.
Dian Cha's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Milu, the life of the Qiang people has just begun, and you are about to suffer. We Qiang people just live a good life, why do we need to pursue more?"
"We fought with the former Han people, fighting constantly, resulting in countless casualties."
"Now, although our relationship with the Ming Dynasty has improved, the dynasty in the Central Plains is cunning and always throws it away when it is used up. I think we cannot go to Guzang County to see the emperor."
"Going to see the emperor now and fight with the emperor will only cost the lives of the Qiang people. We can use the Central Plains people, but we cannot trust them."
In the hall, discussions suddenly started.
Many people had solemn looks in their eyes.
The idea of Dian Cha is what some people have in mind, but no one has elaborated it.
Mi Lu glanced at him. Due to his majesty, except for Dian Cha, who had no dealings with him, the other tribal chiefs did not express their opinions. There was a sneer on the corner of Mi Lu's mouth, and she said in a deep voice: "Dian Cha, your idea is really stupid."
Dian Cha said directly: "Why am I stupid?"
Mi Lu said: "You were a mining man in Dian Dynasty in the past. The reason why you are where you are today is because of the help of Jia Jishi. Without Jia Jishi, even though you are capable, you are already dead."
"Now that you have benefited, you only want to stay in Poqiang County and don't know how to pay."
"You don't fight for it and show the value of our Qiang people. In the future, Liangzhou will become more and more stable, more officials from the Central Plains will come, and even after Jia Governor is transferred, do you think there will still be benefits now?"
"Prince Jia is considerate of us, but the new governor may not be. In the past, when Zhang Huan and others governed Liangzhou, we Qiang people were convinced. However, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Huan and others were transferred, and we were oppressed by new officials again. "
"Have you forgotten all of this?"
"It is true that the Ming Dynasty is not a big man, so it will not burn bridges. But without Jia Jishi, we have no priority, many things will be difficult to handle, and there will be no care."
Mi Lu said loudly: "So, in order to give the Qiang people a better life and in order for our people to continue to enjoy a good life, we must take the lead in participating in the war. Only if we show the value of the Qiang people in front of the emperor, will we There will be further care.”
"well said!"
Among the Qiang people, other clan chiefs from Dianling Qiang, Shaodang Qiang, Zhong Qiang and other tribes expressed their opinions.
The chiefs of these Qiang tribes also gathered here.
Everyone agreed with Milu's analysis.
In fact, the reason why the Qiang people have developed rapidly is because Milu, as the leader, set an example by setting an example and personally formulated strategies, which led to their current development. Otherwise, the current scale would not be possible.
It is precisely because of this that Milu has such prestige.
Dian Cha's face turned cold. He stood up, brushed his sleeves and said, "If you want to take people there, that's your business. I'm going back now."
"Farewell!"
Dian Sha turned around and walked out.
"Come when you want, leave when you want. Is the Prince Qiang's Mansion that I have just wandered around in a market?"
Mi Lu stood up with a cold expression.
He flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Come here, take down Dian Sha."
The soldiers entered directly and took control of Dian Sha.
At this moment, the surrounding tribe chiefs were all shocked, because Mi Lu rarely committed such killings. He only killed people when he first followed Jia Xu and took power. Unexpectedly, now he comes to kill again.
This is the real mystery.
Mi Lu looked at the controlled Dian Cha, stood up and strode to Dian Cha, unsheathed his sword and killed Dian Cha.
He looked around and said in a deep voice: "The emperor wants to go to war with the Western Regions. I will bring 10,000 elites to participate in the war. Eight of you, each of you will select 1,000 elites from their respective tribes. They must be elite soldiers. I will mobilize 2,000 elites from my own tribe. Elite.”
"Ten thousand of us will follow the emperor and make a name for our Qiang people in Liangzhou."
"Everyone, is it clear?"
Mi Lu glanced over and saw that each of the Qiang clan leaders had serious faces and quickly answered clearly in a loud voice.
Mi Lu once again ordered: "This is the opportunity for me, the Qiang people. I will kill anyone who dares to block the road. In short, whether the Qiang people can escape from Poqiang County and Liangzhou, this is the time. Everyone go back. Get ready and meet here in two days."
"As you command!"
Everyone stood up and saluted and quickly went to make arrangements.
There was a smile on Mi Lu's face, and her eyes were even more fiery. He said it was an opportunity for the Qiang people, but he left out one sentence: this was even more an opportunity for him.
Milu also mobilized elites to prepare for the war.
Two days later, Qiang troops from all tribes gathered together, and the clan leaders of each tribe came in person. Mi Lu led 10,000 people and headed towards the county seat.
He arrived in Poqiang County and met with Jiang Jiong. Jiang Jiong first arranged for someone to send away the letter about Shaodang Qiang and ten thousand people participating in the war. Then the group left Poqiang County in a mighty manner and headed to Guzang County in the northwest.
