The main ethnic group in Lijiang is the Naxi (their Dongba hieroglyphics are very interesting, interested readers can search for it). The Naxi only have two surnames: one is "Mu" and the other is "He". In short,

Those with the surname Mu are from the chieftain family, while those with the surname He are common people.

The surname Mu was given by Zhu Yuanzhang - in the past, the Naxi people were named after father and son. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent his adopted son Mu Ying to pacify Yunnan, and the Naxi leader Ajia'ade led his people to surrender. In order to commend his contribution, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted his own name.

The characters of "Mu" were removed from his surname, and he was given the character "木" as his surname. Therefore, "Ajia Ade" was called "Mude" from now on. The following year, Zhu Yuanzhang once again made Mude "a hereditary local official and prefect."

The eternal order is to defend and solidify the stone gate, and to control the Tibetan and Tatar people."

by the way, if you have the opportunity, you can visit the Mufu in Lijiang, Yunnan. It is worth a look. The portraits of chieftains in the past dynasties are quite distinctive: their faces are either black or white - the ones with black faces are generals who have led soldiers and fought in battles.

The white-faced ones are the civil servants and the prefects in the peaceful years. The Naxi compatriots have a very philosophical understanding of this: when leading troops in war, exposed to the wind and sun, can they not become black? If they study in the house all day long without leaving home, can they not become black?

Not white?

Makes sense!

By Gu Baihua's generation, the Gu family had already joined the military and had taken root at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Gu Baihua, who was 17 or 18 years old at the time, was chosen by He Shixun, the commander of the guards, because of his courage and ability to ride a fierce horse.

He was promoted to inspection. Although he was only a ninth-rank official, he was considered a serious court official after all.

This chieftain's name is Mu Zeng (very famous in history), and he also likes Xiaogu very much.

In the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that "a good man should not make nails, and a good man should not be a soldier." Most people look down on military households. But in minority areas, people are very simple, especially those who value masculinity. Although Mr. Mu himself was famous as a literary figure in history,

He was famous for his bravery and bravery - he was only eleven years old when he first attacked the chieftain. The rural chieftain (Tibetan) of Sichuan in the neighboring province thought that the young man could be bullied, so he led thousands of horses to invade the border village and plunder him. The young chieftain Museng said with emotion:

"One day of surrendering to the enemy will bring calamity for generations to come." The commander-in-chief and his family members fought against each other, "holding drums, beating drums, and carrying arrows and stones to advance." They won a great victory. Taking advantage of the victory, they pursued and suppressed the remaining bandits to Muli, Sichuan, and merged Xiangcheng with Tibet.

Mangkang and Yanjing and other places!

People at that time praised: "A husband should not despise a young man"!

It is only natural that Mr. Mu likes Gu Baihua with such a personality.

Once, a group of thieves came from the Tibetan border. It was said that there were only six or seven, but they made a lot of noise and harassed several villages. The Ming army and the police did not distinguish between them.

The police officers could not enter the mountain, so Mr. Mu asked Commander He for help, and He Shixun handed over the task to Gu Baihua.

Xiao Gu's inspection led thirteen people into the mountain.

After more than half a month, eight of them came back, carrying the bodies of six of their companions on horseback.

Of the eight alive, everyone was injured.

Hanging under the horse's neck is the head of a 19th-level Tibetan bandit!

Gu Baihua, who was covered in blood clots and couldn't take off his armor, got off his horse and started scolding: "You are a bastard, you are lying to me! Six or seven? Rini & Ma, I was so blackened that I was so painful."

It’s so miserable! There are nineteen of them, and not one of them can escape!”

The Naxi men in the border areas of Yunnan were not so particular. After a big drink, Mr. Mu Zeng and Gu Baihua vomited all over the flower hall of the Mu Mansion. Later, although there was no official appointment, in fact, Bai Huaruodang (the Naxi nationality)

(meaning "warrior" in the Dongba culture) has become a fast-moving leader in the chieftain's yamen. In addition to the royal rations in the military pay, he also eats a bowl of rice from Liumen.

The Mosuo people on the shores of Lugu Lake in Lijiang are a matriarchal society and have the custom of "walking marriage". They are called "Axia" - both men and women live in their mother's house. Men do not marry and women do not marry. If they feel that they are in love, men He stays at the woman's house for the night and leaves in the morning, and the children born are raised by the woman. The union is voluntary and the separation is free. As long as the man does not come, or the woman refuses to accept her, the relationship will be terminated after a while, and both parties can find another sweetheart. Contrary to what most people imagine, this is a very serious matter: although you can have many Ashas in your life, you can never have two at the same time - one relationship must end before you can start another one. There are also cases where both parties live together. Those who live together will go back to their homes when they no longer want to be together. Mosuo people believe that love is sacred and has nothing to do with property, labor, child support, etc.

Even though Mr. Mu Zeng is from the Naxi ethnic group, his Confucian cultural literacy exceeds more than 99% of the Han people: he has written seven collections of poems and essays, and has written more than a thousand poems. He was once awarded the title of Chief Minister of Guangxi! He is well-read in poetry and books. Mr. Mu respects the Han culture, and of course his family will not adopt this kind of marriage custom. On the other hand, the ethnic minorities in the border areas also advocate martial arts, and do not have the sour problems of the inland Han people such as "military men are considered a cheap career". They like grain. Bai Hua was determined to choose a wife for him among his sons and nephews. The latter had already accumulated meritorious service in the camp and was promoted to deputy general (military rank from the seventh rank), and Mr. Mu would also do a good job for him in the chieftain's yamen. Arrangement. More importantly, there are copper mines in Lijiang! Both the health center and the local government are mining and casting money, and they are living a relatively prosperous life. If there were no subsequent changes, what will be laid in front of Gu Baihua will be a line within the Ming Dynasty system. The royal road.

Unfortunately, all this was completely changed by the arrival of one person.

Yang Rong.

Yang Rongben was the father-in-law of Shangshan Supervisor. He was jealous when he saw other father-in-laws getting rich, so he advised Wanli: "Awa, there is a treasure well in the Mengmi area, and it is intended to be included (these two places are at the junction of Ming and Myanmar. At this time Belonging to Myanmar (or, it can also be understood as a semi-independent tribe), the income can increase by hundreds of thousands taels every year (the annual income is hundreds of thousands)!"

Whether it was the courtiers at that time or the historians now, when everyone calls the Wanli Emperor, they all like to add a common attributive: shameless for money - well, the Wanli Emperor who wants money and is shameless.

Therefore, the restaurant waiter Arong immediately became Mr. Yang, the chairman of the Yunnan Mining Bureau who enjoys deputy ministerial status.

The concept of national territory at that time was different from today. In the theoretical understanding of the Ming Dynasty, Myanmar was considered a vassal state, but this "vassal state" was not as obedient as North Korea, and it only caused some friction from time to time. The Awa tribe was also , Meng Mi tribe, and even the chieftains of the Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Tibetan generations, the imperial court regarded them as "barbarians", and their respective territories were not completely regarded as "an integral part of the Ming Empire" like the mainland: as long as verbal Recognizing the status of the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, generally speaking, the degree of autonomy is very high, and they often turn a blind eye to the wars between them. Whoever wins the battle will be issued an edict: You will be the king of that place, and you must behave in the future. Oh... so these places are not very peaceful. However, for thousands of years, the Central Plains dynasties have adopted similar "restraint" policies: on the one hand, they use huge military forces to maintain deterrence, and on the other hand, they provide some small favors and material benefits to win over them. A great situation with passable border tranquility.

Mr. Yang doesn't care about stability and unity - don't talk nonsense, the Emperor sent our family. Whether you are loyal or not depends on your actions!

When he arrived in Yunnan, he first dug for gems in Awa Mengmi, which caused a lot of trouble. The local official Chen Yongbin wrote to Wanli and complained: This kind of chaos is not good, it will easily cause border troubles. Wanli was looking at the account book with pleasure, "Everything is left in the middle"

"(Throw it aside and ignore it).

Because Mr. Yang belonged to the emperor, as long as the emperor didn't say anything, the local officials refused to take action against him, so Mr. Yang continued to act mischievously. As a result, the local chieftain discovered that "neifu (the tribe was a subject of the Ming Dynasty) did not protect the leader's land, but the

"I want to be safe" and thus renounce morality.

The local chieftain who was sitting on the fence took the initiative to surrender, and the Burmese king was of course happy. The Burmese people are tough and will engage in group violence when they are anxious. Mr. Yang found that the trouble was a bit big, and if he continued to act recklessly, he would have to fight head-on to destroy the country. With his own weight,

, in order to quell the "border troubles", whether the emperor should give him to the Burmese people to relieve the trouble, or choose a war that would cost millions of taels, he could figure it out with his toes, so he didn't dare to bother about it anymore and look at it.

Invest within the country.

Not surprisingly, he discovered the copper mine in Lijiang!

What's more terrible, he insisted that after scientific verification, the rich mine with the highest copper content was located under Master Mu Zeng's cottage!

Obviously, Mr. Mu's political consciousness still needs to be improved at this time: he actually mobilized manpower and drove away Mr. Yang's demolition team. The guy at the front had a round head and round face and was dressed in Naxi national costume.

, carrying a stick - this guy was originally carrying a long knife, but Mr. Mu snatched it away with his hands: "Use this", and then stuffed a stick into him - and chased Mr. Yang's demolition team leader Zhang Anmin for two hills.

Team Zhang was left with xenophobia from then on, and despite Mr. Yang's promise to stay in Lijiang for good or bad, Mr. Yang had no choice but to transfer him to Tengyue Prefecture (today's Tengchong) to take charge of the local tax bureau (tax factory).

This guy with a round head and a round face who fights with his life in a fight is Gu Baihua.

Violent resistance to demolition? That's okay! Mr. Yang became anxious and ordered Xiong Duo, the prefect of Yunnan, to mobilize troops to attack Mr. Mu's cottage.

Magistrate Xiong was so frightened that he peed on the spot: "Eunuch Yang, Ambassador Yang, you can't do it! Master Mu was the worldly official appointed by Grandpa Taizu himself, and he was also the magistrate of our Ming Dynasty! It's unheard of for a prefect to attack a prefect, Eunuch! This matter has never happened.

, in a small way, it’s called a bastard, in a big way, it’s called a rebellion!”

Who said Mr. Yang doesn’t have hard parts in his body? Mr. Yang’s hands are very hard! How could he listen to your nonsense? Mr. Yang didn’t say a word. On the one hand, he told Xiong Duo that he was greedy for mining taxes. Well, it wasn’t you who hit you.

Why did you help her? Oh, that's wrong, why do you do good things without getting any benefits? On the other hand, troops from neighboring provinces were mobilized in the name of angels, and they really demolished one of Master Mu's villages!

Master Mu pondered for a while, then forced down Gu Baihua, who was holding the knife and his eyes were red: "Don't worry, it's not the time yet. You go find Commander He and tell me that I have something to ask for."

The other local magistrates, prefectures, counties and other local officials were all afraid and came to Mr. Yang to plead: "Ambassador Yang, you can't do this! Mr. Mu has the status of an official of the imperial court, and this matter may really cause trouble in the future! Besides, there are no other reasons.

The little toast in the system doesn’t have so many scruples, you’ll almost be fine..."

Eunuch Yang was so high-spirited, how could he listen to you? He waved his hand and said, "My sons, it's time to reimburse the emperor! Our prospecting team has already found out, here, there, and there, there are things under those Tusi villages.

The mines! They were all demolished by our family!" A high-pitched voice filled the air.

Something that Eunuch Yang never expected happened. The most powerful local Mujiazhai could not withstand a single blow from the regular army, but the other inconspicuous little chieftains beat the shit out of the various Ming army demolition teams from other provinces!

Well, you guessed it right - this is why Mr. Mu approached Commander He.

He Shixun and other military leaders have gained a lot of profits from the copper mines. Seeing the fat meat in front of them being taken away by Eunuch Yang, can they not feel resentful? After Master Mu's guidance, each village "picked up" it one after another.

Many of the weapons that were "accidentally lost" or "scrapped" in the surrounding garrison stations included huge weapons such as the Tiger Crouching Cannon specially used by the imperial court for the border troops! How had the officers and soldiers in the mainland seen this? At the same time,

, many men wearing national costumes but not speaking Dongba language also appeared in each village. They used southern and northern accents and demonstrated with gestures and instructions to teach the mountain people how to use these weapons - some were even practicing various defenses.

, attack formation!

Faced with the defeated army crying for their father and mother, Eunuch Yang was a little stupid. At this moment, a bad news came: the tax factory in Tengyue Prefecture was burned down by the local people - the man who said he would not stay in Lijiang was sent to Tengyue

Captain Zhang Anmin of the state, oh, he should be called Director Zhang now, oh, forget it, it doesn’t matter what he is called - because he has already been killed by the local people!

Cut into several pieces.

Knowledge points in this article:

There are two theories about the origin of the six doors.

First, there are three traditional departments responsible for the Department of Justice: Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Supervisory Office, collectively known as the "Three Law Departments". The gates of these institutions can only be three bays according to the requirements of shape and etiquette.

(There is a bay between the two pillars). There are two doors corresponding to each bay. In this way, the entire office hall has a total of six door panels. From the Sanfa Department to the prefecture and county yamen, they are all made in this way.

Therefore, the folk names such as "yamen servant" and "catcher" refer to this name.

Second. Unofficial history says that during the Wanli period, the imperial court established a secret organization that integrated martial arts masters, spies, famous arrests, and killers, specializing in handling major national cases. This organization is very mysterious, except that it is surrounded by walls in the north, east, and south.

There are two doors on each of the three west sides, hence the name. However, in my personal opinion, just listen to this and don’t take it seriously.

Temples and temples.

Temple, in fact, refers to a service department of the imperial court, such as Taipu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Dali Temple, etc.

During the Han Dynasty, white horses carrying Buddhist scriptures returned eastward, bringing with them one (some say two) eminent monks and a statue of Sakyamuni. At first, the court received him at Honglu Temple. The eminent monks left behind to teach the Dharma. Emperor Yongming of the Han Dynasty

As a sign of grandeur, the White Horse Temple was built in Luoyang - you see, this new house has the same specifications as the government department that is hosting you, and is also called a temple. The White Horse Temple is also called the "ancestral palace" by Buddhists in other Asian countries.

A temple is a place where ancestors are worshiped, such as the Ancestral Temple. The Ancestral Temple is a place where the royal family worships their ancestors. It is in the palace. The palace is the inner residence of the royal family. No one else is allowed to enter unless they come to visit. Another example is the Confucius Temple, Tutu Temple, Family Temple, etc.

.Later, places for worshiping Buddha, Guanyin, etc., because they also had the meaning of offering sacrifices, were also called temples.

The outside is called "tang", which means the court. Together they are the inner temple and the outer hall, so there is a word called "tang", which refers specifically to the internal and external court that integrates the family and the country.

The temple is to worship the emperor's ancestors, and the temple is to serve the current emperor. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the standard of the temple is higher than that of the temple.

But in any case, White Horse Temple is a lofty title named by the emperor, so later Buddhist worship places built by Buddhist disciples were called temples. When people came here, they saw cigarette smoke and called them temples. Today, temple has gradually become a word
