However, there was always a worried chieftain who did not give Sha Dingzhou face and said again: "But...but I have captured a group of Sichuan businessmen alive before. They said that those things were true, and also said...but... It is said that the current emperor has become enlightened after Taizu’s dream, and that’s why there have been such big changes?”
Taizu gave advice in a dream? The chieftains who heard this for the first time couldn't help but be stunned.
Taizu of the Ming Dynasty started from a very humble beginning. He worked as a monk and had to make a living, but in the end he became the most respected person in the world. No matter who he is, it can be said that the emperor has the ability to conquer the world because of his good background, but everyone feels inferior to Taizu of Ming Dynasty, because their starting point is much higher than Taizu of Ming Dynasty.
If there really was a dream from Taizu, and it was Taizu’s bloodline, it might really be possible! Otherwise, how to explain the different performances of the current emperor?
Thinking of this, many people suddenly looked ugly.
Even though they are having a lot of fun now, it feels like the situation is great. However, when they really had to face the imperial army, they felt unsure. If they were really not afraid, they would not have always submitted to the imperial court before. I remembered that when Dongwu sent troops to fight, not only the chief soldier from the imperial court was able to fight back Dongwu's country!
Seeing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, Sha Dingzhou suddenly raised his head and burst out laughing, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Many people wonder why he laughs so wildly? What's so funny about this?
Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Sha Dingzhou stopped laughing, stared at the toast who had just spoken, and shouted: "Don't you know that businessmen are most greedy for life and afraid of death, and are extremely treacherous? If you are caught, you are afraid of being killed. You kill me and make up such a reason, and you believe it?"
"But... but everyone in that team said that!" The chieftain refused to admit it and immediately said.
When Sha Dingzhou heard this, he pointed at him and said with a bit of hatred: "Do you think those businessmen won't agree on an agreement when they are away from home? Do you know that this is their way of dealing with the chieftains from all over our country?"
At this point, he did not allow the chieftain to argue any more, and continued: "Rumors are flying all over the sky now. Therefore, I have sent people to check the situation in Linzhou before, but there is no news of any large army gathering. On the contrary, there are Rumors are spreading that the imperial court is going to deal with the affairs of various health stations. Under such circumstances, does the imperial court still have the energy to take care of our land in Yunnan?"
After hearing this, many of the surprised chieftains were relieved. One of them even said: "Master Sha is still wise. Not only that, but the army is the strongest and he is the first to initiate righteousness. I propose that Master Sha How about being our alliance leaders, advancing and retreating together, and getting rich together?"
"Okay, our Tuabe agrees!" Youtusi responded immediately.
"Our Situodian Department also agrees!"
"..."
One of the most important purposes of this gathering is to choose a leader and conquer Kunming. Therefore, Sha Dingzhou had put a lot of effort into it beforehand. Those chieftains who were persuaded or bribed by him took advantage of this topic and immediately called out Sha Dingzhou's proposal to become the leader of the alliance.
However, there are always some chieftains who are not willing to let Sha Dingzhou become the leader of the alliance. For example, Wu Bikui, who was also relatively strong, was reluctant. For this reason, he interrupted and asked Sha Dingzhou: "I wonder who Lord Sha sent to inquire about the Ming army in the neighboring provinces. Is there any wrong news?"
This matter is of great importance. If the neighboring provinces are really as Sha Dingzhou said, then it will definitely be a good thing for their rebellion and can greatly boost their morale. The addition to Shadingzhou’s prestige is not small.
When Sha Dingzhou heard the question, he turned to look at Wu Bikui. He was not angry, but immediately replied: "This matter is of great importance. My wife's brother-in-law went there in person. Now some of the people he brought have already There is a reward, and according to the scouts, he himself will be back within the next two days."
Mrs. Sha Dingzhou's name is Wan Cailian, a die-hard rebel, and her brother-in-law is Tang Jianjia, a student in Lin'an Prefecture. This Lin'an Prefecture does not refer to Hangzhou, but a prefecture in Yunnan, the one belonging to Sha Dingzhou's tribe.
In this remote area of Yunnan, it is a big deal for a student to be born, and he is famous far and wide. Otherwise, Wan Cailian's sister would not marry him.
This Tang Jiajia was also the mastermind of Sha Dingzhou's rebellion. Sha Dingzhou's strength was so great not only because of the merger with Wan Cailian's department, but also because of Tang Jiajia's many evil ideas. Therefore, this Tang guest still has a certain reputation among these rebellious chieftains.
At this time, it was definitely not wrong to hear that it was guest Tang who was in charge of gathering information.
Therefore, after Wu Bikui heard this, he could no longer question this point for a while.
When Sha Dingzhou saw this, he was naturally proud of himself. He stood up, looked around at the other chieftains, and said loudly with a smile: "Sha is not talented. He is willing to be the leader of our Dian chieftain alliance and lead everyone to conquer Kunming and share the wealth. How about it?" "
When Wu Bikui was in Chongzhen for five years, he tricked and killed the governor Wang and his wife of Yunnan, which was considered as one of his capitals. Moreover, he is in collusion with Wan Cailian's husband Pu Renfa and Sha Dingzhou's father. In terms of seniority, Sha Dingzhou is still his junior, so how could he be willing to let Sha Dingzhou ride on his head? .
Wu Bikui knew how to rebel, so he naturally had a trump card. His military strength is second only to Sha Dingzhou. Moreover, he also had several chieftain tribes that formed an early alliance with him, and finally joined forces with Sha Dingzhou. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to compete with Sha Dingzhou.
But his biggest trump card is not this, but that he has found a strong backing, at least stronger than all the chieftains in Yunnan.
But at this time, those rumors about the imperial court were all rumors, and it was confirmed that the Ming army in the surrounding provinces had not gathered, and even had to deal with the affairs of the guard station. How could the Ming army still have the energy to come to Yunnan to fight! Therefore, at this time, with the combined strength of these chieftains, they can capture Kunming. Even if he moves out the backup, there will be little bonus effect.
Thinking like this, he felt a little unwilling. It feels like Sora has a trump card but can't use it.
Wu Bikui went to see his allies, winked, and asked them to object too, at least not as one-sided as they are now, then he would have no hope of becoming the leader of the alliance.
However, the reason why he was able to persuade those chieftains to become his allies was because in addition to his own strong strength, he also had a powerful foreign aid. However, everyone is not a fool. Wu Bikui's powerful foreign aid must come at a price before he can be called upon. Who would be willing to do something that does not bring any benefits just to help? Judging from past history, it is certain that it will be reduced to a vassal.
In this case, if you can do without Wu Bikui's foreign aid, then you don't have to risk becoming his vassal, then who would be willing to use Wu Bikui's foreign aid? Therefore, the chieftains all pretended to be deaf and dumb. They clearly saw Wu Bikui winking at them, but they still pretended not to see it.
Wu Bikui was very angry when he saw this. He could only roll up his sleeves and go up to compete with Sha Dingzhou.
However, at this moment, I suddenly heard noise coming from outside the lobby.
"Be brave. Anyone who dares to trespass will be stopped!"
"Go away, who dares to stop me?"
"..."
Outside the lobby, there are the entourages of each chieftain, standing guard and taking turns. I don’t know which family they are from, but they don’t abide by the agreement and break in without waiting for a report. Isn’t this too arrogant?
Many chieftains were thinking this, but Sha Dingzhou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted outside: "But Commander Tang, come in quickly!"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that it was Sha Dingzhou's military advisor Tang Jingbin who had arrived. No wonder he had such arrogance.
The followers outside obviously heard Sha Dingzhou's shouts, and did not hear his chieftain's instructions, so they did not stop him, and one person immediately entered the lobby in a hurry.
This man was less than forty years old. He had three long beards under his forehead and held a goose feather fan in his hand. He was dressed similar to the legendary Zhuge Kongming. He looked elegant and very resourceful.
For Yunnan, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and finally controlled the barbarians here, which has become an eternal legend here. Just like the Mu family's ancestor Mu Ying's conquest of Yunnan and other places, it also laid a solid foundation for the Mu family to control these chieftains, and it became an eternal impression in the hearts of the indigenous people here.
This Tang guest's outfit conquered many toasts here at once. As a result, they had no objection at all to Mr. Tang's arrogant intrusion into the meeting hall. Even those who have opinions have become much smaller.
But what they didn't expect was that this man who should be calm and composed, with wisdom and confidence in everything he did, now had sweat on his face and an anxious look on his face.
When Sha Dingzhou saw it, he was immediately shocked. For him, it is natural that he knows his military advisor better. Before, when he was besieged by Qin Liangyu's white-pole army and had to bear the pressure of the imperial army alone, he had never seen Tang Jiajia become so anxious. Such a rude performance at this time, obviously something terrible happened, right?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel very unhappy. Seeing the birth of this alliance leader, it just happened to create another side. Couldn't it be a little later? In other words, we’ll talk about something later.
With this in mind, Sha Dingzhou took the lead and said, "The military adviser has arrived just in time. Now all the chieftains have elected me as the leader of the alliance. Do you think this is appropriate?"
When he thought about it, after receiving this very clear reminder, Tang Jiabin naturally knew what to do. Unexpectedly, Tang Binbin still looked so anxious and replied flatly: "That's inappropriate!"
