Including the troops who originally stayed behind and the defeated troops who fled back one after another, the city's garrison strength was about 7,000.
Everyone has been frightened by the news!
An Kun was lying on the top of the city, looking at his captured father outside the city, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Although the teenage boy often fought with his father, he always fought against the disobedient little chieftain. He thought he was a natural general, but in the end he was defeated by a small number and he still didn't understand how he lost.
Now that my own father has been arrested, do we really want to surrender?
An Rupan's wrist was broken and he was still hanging his arm. He was escorted to the city by the Datong army and shouted helplessly towards the city: "A Kun, surrender! General Fei said that we can bring 500 taels of silver and the whole family
Go to Luzon Island. No matter how barbaric it is, will it still be poorer than Guizhou?"
An Kun hesitated to speak, then sighed, and finally ordered: "Open the city!"
When Fei Yinggon and Qin Yiming arrived at the city gate, An Kun and his generals were already kneeling there and waiting for a long time.
After several battles, including the surrender of Guiyang, a total of more than 20,000 native soldiers were captured.
The accompanying civil servants took the opportunity to register and try to find out the names and addresses of these people. It turned out that most of them were not Han Chinese, and some did not even have Yi surnames. They could only make up random names for them based on the homophony of Yi names.
Each person received a small amount of food and went home, along with a piece of paper with their name written on it.
Qian warned and urged not to lose the note. From now on, with this note, he can go to the government to settle down and allocate land.
Those local soldiers were overjoyed. They were defeated, but they could still receive food?
They had no doubts about settling down and dividing the land. These Han officials were all good people and were willing to give them food. They would definitely not cheat them randomly.
Except for 1,500 strong native soldiers who were left as auxiliary soldiers, the rest of the native soldiers went home happily. Before leaving, they also recited the Datong policy, that everyone is equal, there are no slaves, no corvee, and no heavy taxes.
Everyone has fields to cultivate, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat...
With a radius of hundreds of miles, the news spread quickly, and both Han people and ethnic minorities were dubiously but excitedly waiting to allocate their fields.
If any chieftain wants to gather his troops to resist, he will not be able to raise an army at all, unless the Datong Army fails to fulfill these promises.
An Rupan knelt on the ground and said: "General Fei, I will send a few personal followers, and the various departments in Shuixi can send a message to decide. If you can help General Xiang to regain Shuixi without losing blood, please general Fei to record your merits and give me an extra thousand taels of silver."
Go to Luzon.”
Fei Yinggong smiled and said: "If I can capture Shuixi immediately, I will definitely give you credit."
Bijie, Chishui, Dafang, Zhijin, Jinsha... these all belong to the Shuixi jurisdiction and are the home of Anrupan. The local people are mainly Yi people.
Today, the Western Route Army under the command of Huang Yao is working hard to attack Shuixi, where the road is more difficult than in northern Guizhou!
Huang Yao's first target was Du Yan, the commander of the Chishui Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
After this guy learned that the Ming Dynasty was overthrown, he immediately raised troops in Chishuiwei, Pushi, Mani, Baisha, Alomi and other places with thousands of households, and they all expressed their intention to continue to follow Du's command. Then, Du Yan sent troops to Bijie and captured
Bijiewei and Qixingguan.
When Du Yan entered Guihuayi, he was beaten back by An Rupan's soldiers. From then on, he could only stay in Bijie and Chishui. He fought several more games with An Rupan, and the two sides shook hands and made peace. Du Yan nominally surrendered to An Rupan.
Rupan, at the same time proclaimed himself the envoy of recruiting in western Guizhou.
Huang Yao led his troops southward and unexpectedly captured the Qianhu Office in Pushi. Du Yan immediately sent an envoy to negotiate.
As for the content of the negotiation, it was nothing more than to keep the land and property after surrender, and at the same time get a minor official in the Datong court.
Du Yan felt that his request was reasonable and reasonable. Who the hell would surrender if he didn't get benefits?
Unexpectedly, Huang Yao directly raised his troops to kill him and captured Mani Qianhu's place in half a day.
Du Yan was so frightened that he didn't dare to hold on to Chishui anymore, and quickly fled to Bijie with his army. On the way, thousands of households in Alomi Qianhusuo were unwilling to leave the place where they had lived for generations, so they dragged more than a thousand soldiers to follow Du Yan.
Words break up.
After a small friction, the two sides parted ways, and Aluomi Qianhu surrendered unconditionally to the Datong Army.
Du Yan himself withdrew all the way to Bijie, leaving 800 troops to garrison Laytai Pass.
A Luo Mi Qian Hu acted as the leader and led Huang Yao to the upper level quickly. Maliao, the 800 gatekeepers, chose to surrender. Seeing Huang Yao's army approaching, Du Yan led his troops to run away again, leaving Qixing Pass in the west and heading straight for Wusha
Mansion (Weining Yi Hui and Miao Autonomous Region), the Yi chieftains who took refuge there went to the Sichuan border that had not been occupied by the Datong Army.
After easily capturing Chishui and Bijie, Huang Yaocai sent his troops east to attack the Shuixi'an clan's home base.
Then, it was difficult!
"General, there are bandits shooting arrows in the forest again. One of the mountain search team who was exploring the road was killed and five were injured."
"Have you caught the thief?"
"The bandit ran very fast and only caught one."
"bring it here!"
A Yi man was escorted in front of Huang Yao and started to curse loudly.
Huang Yao frowned and asked the guide: "What did he say?"
The Yi guide hesitated and said: "He said...he said..."
"Speak quickly!" Huang Yao scolded.
The Yi guide automatically filtered out the curse words and said: "He said that the God of Heaven, God of Earth, God of Water, God of Mountain, God of Stone, and God of Fire would punish him. He... was cursing the general."
Huang Yao glanced at the Yi people and frowned: "I don't think you are like a Yi noble. Since you are a commoner, the Datong Army is here to rescue you. Even if you don't know the truth, the Datong Army has not attacked the Yi village yet. Why?
Are you going to risk your life for a sneak attack?"
The Yi guide began to communicate with this person.
After chatting for a long time, the Yi guide said: "General, the local Mu Kui is talking bad things about the Datong Army everywhere. He said that the Datong Army is coming and wants to kill all the Yi men, rob all the Yi women, and take away all the Yi children to be slaves.
"
Huang Yao gritted his teeth and said: "These bastard chieftains are doing the same old trick of deceiving the people again!"
In the land west of the water, there are no states, counties or health centers.
The supreme ruler was the An clan, the Xuanwei envoy of Guizhou. The following areas were divided into multiple "Ze Streams", such as Zhijin County in later generations, which was called "Duo Ni Ze Stream" at this time.
"Zexi" means "the place where the warehouse is located" in Yi language. Each Zexi has a warehouse, which is the money and grain storage center of that area, and then evolved into an administrative center.
In each Zexi, the Xuanwei envoy appointed local officials. The person in charge of affairs was called "Mukui", the person in charge of government affairs was called "Mo", the person in charge of sacrifices and war was called "Bu", and the person who led the craftsmen was called "Gou".
Under the stream, there is another tribe, and the leader of the tribe is called "Tumu" (Mukui, Mo, Bu and Gou are all represented by Tumu).
That guy An Rupan is in charge of thirteen streams and forty-eight eyes.
Huang Yao thought for a long time, summoned the generals and said: "We can no longer march troops all the time. To get to Shuixi City, we have to cross mountains and ridges, and we will suffer countless sneak attacks along the way. Even if we can annihilate the main enemy force and successfully occupy Shuixi City, these Yi people
They will also cause trouble in the rear. After we arrived at Jinjiyi, we immediately dispersed the troops. In groups of 500, we escorted the missionary officers to contact various Yi tribes and explain policies to the tribal leaders and Yi people."
It may seem ridiculous to discuss the land allocation policy with tribal leaders, but it is actually completely feasible.
Because the leaders of the Yi tribes are not the owners of the land, but the managers of the land! Let’s put it this way, Tumu does not have ownership of the land, but has the right to use and operate the land.
Wumeng Department.
Lu Ahuan is worried about this year's harvest. The weather has failed, and the Xuan comfort envoys are going to war again, so they simply can't get so much food to hand over.
His title was probably similar to that of a county magistrate or a town mayor. The size of his territory was similar to that of a county, but the population within his jurisdiction was comparable to that of a large town in a wealthy area (slaves were not counted as people).
"Ada (father), the Han soldiers are coming!" Lu Tiande rushed in panting.
Lu Ah Huan was so frightened that he stood up immediately: "Gather warriors to defend our village!"
They have no ability to protect themselves at all. Their population is small to begin with, and their young men have been transferred to Shuixi City. Shuixi City is the home base of the An family. Now there are 20,000 troops gathered there, waiting for Huang Yao to attack the city.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Iron plates were being beaten in the village, and the beating was very rapid. This message conveyed the urgency. Not only the tribal men wanted to join the war, but the tribal women also had to take up arms.
Many tribesmen gathered quickly, and there were only about 200 young and middle-aged men left, and the rest were all recruited to Shuixi City.
Lu Tianxiang, who was only fifteen years old, also came with a bow and arrow, and a short knife in her waist. This strange woman, who was named a first-class wife by Kangxi, has now been betrothed to An Kun and will go there when she is sixteen.
Getting married in Guiyang.
Logically speaking, it would be difficult for a small-eyed girl like her to marry the legitimate son of the Xuanweishu, but she couldn't resist the fact that he was beautiful and well-known for his martial arts.
Lu Ahuan glanced at the people, feeling that he was still unsure of how to defend the stronghold, and ordered again: "Call the slaves too. Tell the slaves that as long as they defend the stronghold, those who have performed meritorious services will be free!"
Not long after, hundreds of serfs, both men and women, gathered here.
Some of these slaves were snatched, and some were descendants of slaves. The Shuixi Yi people still practiced serfdom.
In principle, all their land belongs to the Xuanwei envoy, which means it belongs to An Rupan. Mu Kui and Tumu all help An Rupan manage and operate the land.
The first Tumu were all the concubines of Tusi.
The eldest son of the chieftain stayed with him to inherit the family business, while the other sons were thrown to various places to serve as tumu, which was similar to enfeoffing the sons to manage the land. Gradually, the tumu could also be hereditary, just like the princes, who essentially owned the emperor of Zhou.
The land given by the chieftain, but in name only the land manager.
The slaves who were summoned were very excited. They did not know the reputation of the Datong Army. They only knew that they could regain their freedom if they won the battle.
Regardless of whether they were men or women, they all guarded the main roads in the village, waiting for the Datong Army to come and attack.
Unexpectedly, these 500 Datong troops were hundreds of meters away from the stronghold, and the whole army stopped.
A Yi guide was sent to shout: "Who is the local Tumu? Our army is not here to kill and rob. Please come out and talk about important matters."
Lu Ahuan hesitated for a long time. He didn't want to fight and was ready to go out and talk.
Lu Ahuan said to the Yi guide: "The Han people are cunning, I can't go out easily. You ask the Han officers to come outside the stronghold, and I will go outside the stronghold. We don't have any troops on either side, we just sit there and have a good discussion."
"Ada, I'll go with you!" Lu Tianxiang said.
Lu Tiande said: "Ada, I will accompany you too."
Lu Ahuan ordered: "Ade stays in the stronghold. If an accident occurs, lead the troops to come out immediately. Axiang goes to talk to me. You are highly skilled in martial arts and you are a girl. The Han officers will not be on guard. If they see me
Clench your right fist and draw your sword immediately to subdue the Han officer."
