Yunnan, Zhenyuan Mansion.
The prefect Huang Shan watched the heavy rain pouring down, feeling worried.
Huang Huahe was wearing a leopard skin costume, with a pile of feathers on his head, holding a three-pronged fork in his hand, stepping heavily with rain splashing, pushing the door in, looking at his father standing by the window, and said in a deep voice: "Father , it’s time to make a decision.”
"Hua He, I heard that Hua Jiang has returned from Jinling, why don't you let me see him?"
Huang Shan didn't turn around, just looked at Ye Yu.
Huang Huahe shook his head: "It's not that the child didn't let Hua Jiang come to see his father, but that he was too tired, so I let him rest."
"Oh, not seeing your father because you are tired is unfilial. What right does an unfilial person have to rest? Let him come, and I will teach him a lesson."
Huang Shan spoke seriously.
Huang Huahe hesitated, shook the three-pronged fork slightly in his hand, retreated to the door, and shouted into the distance: "Invite the third brother."
It didn't take long.
Two chieftains armed with weapons escorted a man in his thirties with a short beard.
Huang Huajiang was pushed into the room, glared at Huang Huahe fiercely, looked at his father by the window, and stepped forward to salute: "My child has seen his father."
Huang Shan nodded slightly, looked at Huang Huajiang, and a smile appeared on his face: "It is really a blessing for you to come back at this time. You have been studying at the Imperial College for three and a half years. What have you gained? We, Toast, have become stronger.”
Huang Huajiang glanced at Huang Huahe and said seriously: "Father, if you want to make the chieftain stronger and the Huang family stronger, there is only one way to go!"
"Oh, which way?"
Huang Shan asked.
Huang Huajiang puffed up his chest: "Follow the lessons of the Imperial College and the footsteps of Emperor Jianwen."
, learn advanced knowledge, culture and technology. Only in this way can we become stronger! "
Huang Huahe was not happy anymore, his face was gloomy, and he said sternly: "Bah! What advanced knowledge and technology are all nonsense! Our ancestors have always been powerful existences under Wuliang Mountain and on the Weiyuan River for generations. .Our strength comes from our strength, our slaves, and our force. We are never emperors!"
Huang Huajiang turned around and looked directly at Huang Huahe: "Brother, you have never read a book and have never left this mountain and forest land. You don't even know what is happening a hundred miles away, let alone Jinling, which is thousands of miles away. ! You can’t ruin the entire Huang family because of your ignorance!”
Huang Huahe paused the three-pronged fork in his hand: "Ignorant? Emperor Jianwen is now surrounded by enemies. The Ming Dynasty is in danger, and its collapse will only take a moment. And our rebellion can completely collapse Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty. From now on, no one will Collect taxes for us, no one dares to ask for anything from us! Here, we will have the final say!"
Huang Huajiang shook his head bitterly: "Where did you hear that the Ming Dynasty was in danger, and how did you judge that the Ming Dynasty was about to collapse? My elder brother, the wind blows the ancient trees, the branches are swaying, and the dead leaves are flying. This is the death of the ancient trees. Is it a sign? No, no! If an ancient tree is going to die, the roots die first! Even if countless branches are cut off and the trunk is cut off, the tree is still alive! What’s more, I can’t see that the trunk of the Ming Dynasty tree is about to break!”
"The power of the Ming Dynasty is far beyond that of our little chieftain. We are ignorant in the carriage and arrogant in the sword, but we cannot be like this! Father!
Dear, brother, you don’t know how powerful Daming is, but I do! If the Ming Dynasty wanted to eliminate the chieftains, then all 600,000 chieftains in Yunnan could be wiped out within a month! And there are ten thousand of us, but we can only fight with more than three thousand, so what can we use to rebel? "
"Mu Sheng is stationed here. Have you all forgotten how powerful the Mu family is? During the Hongwu period, all the Yunnan chieftains rebelled, but they were all wiped out! Later, 800 Dadian, known as elite soldiers and strong generals, openly fought against the Mu family , as a result, all eight hundred widows were arrested! Aren’t the bloody lessons enough to tell us that the Ming Dynasty cannot be provoked and invincible? "
Huang Huahe stared at Huang Huajiang coldly, and said with a gloomy face: "You don't know, we have been training slave soldiers for these years, and now we have 3,000 people, which can be worth 30,000! We are all brave soldiers who can kill ten with one! "
Huang Huajiang raised his hand and slapped his forehead: "Killing ten with one? Brother, where did you get the confidence? Did you let them fight the Ming Dynasty sergeant or were you just daydreaming? You think you are powerful, you think you are powerful, but In the eyes of the Ming soldiers, we are just as weak! In fact, we are not the opponents of the Ming army at all, far from it. They have popularized firearms, and our weapon is the three-pronged fork in your hand! It is just a broken fork !”
Huang Huahe gritted his teeth: "Third brother, this fork of mine can kill a leopard! Our soldiers are the most powerful and will not retreat when facing a leopard until it is killed!"
Huang Huajiang walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth, and then said: "Brother, how many people did you use to kill the leopard? How many people died?"
, how many people were injured? Let me tell you, if the Ming Dynasty sergeant wanted to kill the leopard, he only needed a Beijing army and a firecracker! I have been to the Military Academy, and I have also seen the training of the Beijing Army. It is no exaggeration to say that the Ming Army is the real one who kills ten with one. We have 3,000 sergeants, but we may not be able to defeat the opponent's 300 sergeants! "
"impossible!"
Huang Huahe shouted, and then looked at Huang Shan: "My third brother has been in Jinling for a long time, and he seems to have lost his original intention. All he thinks about is the imperial court, and is no longer about the future of the chieftain. Father, Meng Meng has risen. In response to the incident, Menggen Prefecture, Menglian Division, Mengmian Division, Mengding Prefecture, Bazhai Division, Zuonengzhai Division, etc. all responded to the uprising. If we don’t follow suit, there will no longer be a place for us in Yunnan in the future!"
Huang Huajiang took a step forward: "Of course we have to take action, but this time we have to stand on the side of Yunnan Dusi and Mu Mansion, and on the side of the imperial court! Only in this way can we truly gain a foothold after quelling the rebellions in various places! There is no return. We can take this opportunity to win the emperor's appreciation and let us send more younger people to the Imperial Academy!"
Huang Huahe angrily scolded: "Under the general trend, are you still facing the Ming Dynasty? You can see clearly that now more than half of Yunnan is against the imperial court! With such a powerful force, Yunnan will completely become our territory!"
Huang Huajiang kicked over a stool on the side: "Brother, I just want to ask you, if the Ming Dynasty's Yunnan Dusi and Mu Mansion are wiped out, tell me who is the master of Yunnan? Is it you or Dao Gengmeng?"
Huang Huahe was suddenly speechless.
Huang Huajiang shouted angrily: "Dao Gengmeng even dared to kill his father, how can we be tolerated then? What's more, we are so powerful, not even as good as
Meng Liansi, Meng Ding Mansion, Meng Gen Mansion, etc.! Do you really think that with three thousand people, Dao Gengmeng can give you a big position? No, his greatest possibility is to send us as vanguards and use us as contradictions to attack and resist Ming Dynasty! By then, more than 3,000 of us will be completely destroyed by the Ming army’s firearms! "
"Brother, if this is the result you want, then go ahead. I know that you have been evading your father and training slave soldiers all these years. These people are all listening to your command. Think clearly, it is the Ming Dynasty If you have the capacity to accommodate others, it is better to have the capacity to accommodate others!"
Huang Huahe was shocked.
It seems that what this younger brother said makes sense. I only have a small number of people in my family, and other chieftains have many generals. If these people shirk each other and do not attack the Ming army, they will have to pass the order to the little chieftains who have no ability to resist, and these people are likely to be killed by the Ming army. wipe out.
Even if they don't die in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, they will still suffer heavy losses. At that time, the Tusi will annex and devour them internally. Will their family still have a way to survive?
Gone!
Huang Huahe found that he had been deceived and dazzled by the boasted future.
Rebellion may have a future, but the future definitely does not belong to Zhenyuan Mansion.
Huang Huahe dropped the three-pronged fork and broke out in cold sweat.
Huang Shan took a deep look at Huang Huajiang, nodded slightly, and said to Huang Huahe: "There are some things that are difficult for a father to say. In the final analysis, it is you who control the future destiny of the Huang family in Zhenyuan Prefecture, and the destiny of the ten thousand chieftains. .I am fifty-six years old and will not live for many years. The future belongs to you. If you have figured it out and decided to join Dao Geng Meng and oppose Ming Ting, then do it.
, if you think it is better to join Ming Ting and oppose Dao Geng Meng, then do it. "
"Although you have never read a book, never traveled far, and lack knowledge. But you are still my eldest son and the future master of Zhenyuan Mansion. You are wise and know what can and cannot be done. , go back and think about it carefully, the rain is about to stop, there is not much time left for you."
Huang Huahe said nothing, turned and walked into the rain.
Huang Shan looked at Huang Huajiang: "Can the Ming Dynasty really kill leopards with one sergeant?"
Huang Huajiang sighed: "Father, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Annan Duobang City were destroyed overnight, and there are only so many chieftains in Yunnan. How can it be possible to fight against the Ming court?"
"What's going on with the world-wide attack?"
Huang Shan frowned.
Huang Huajiang shook his head: "I don't know this, but I know very well that as long as Emperor Jianwen does not die, the Ming Dynasty will not collapse. He has endless reputation among the people. As long as he raises his arms, countless people will abandon Tian Chengbing , this will be millions of soldiers! What’s more, the Ming Dynasty’s firearms are so powerful, I have personally seen the Crouching Tiger Cannon thrown into the sheep.”
"That scene gave me a feeling that in the eyes of Ming soldiers, all enemies are lambs. We have not mastered the secrets of firearms, and we cannot master the secrets. Facing Ming, we should be docile and surrender instead of resisting. "
Huang Shan thought for a long time and nodded heavily: "From our place to the northeast, we can approach Kunming. I heard that Mu Sheng has been awarded the title of general and is in charge of the Yunnan capital. This terrifying man is going to kill people again."
Huang Huajiang lowered his head helplessly: "Father, send documents to Mu Sheng."
There are a lot of people in the team, and more than 20 of them are graduates of the Imperial College of Military Supervision. This time, the Yunnan War may end earlier than we thought. Those people are war lunatics and will not be able to defend with peace of mind..."
