After hearing the report from Shunyuan City, King Liang's commander Zaci Valmi was very angry. The city was actually taken over by a group of rioters. The leader is the 46th generation grandson of Wu'ana from the Deshi clan of Mobu. His name is Longzan Aqi. This man is young and promising. He is the lord of Shunyuan City recommended by all ethnic groups. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Guizhou. If you want It would be inappropriate to touch him."
When the king of Liang heard this, Valmi was furious: "It's not the right time. He leads the rebels to kill my officials. It's the right time to occupy my city."
The admonishing minister thought about it again and again, and then said: "Between ministers, the next matter still needs to be considered."
Another close minister stepped forward to give his advice: "Now Longzan Aqi is recruiting troops. He has a standing army of 100,000 people under his command, and an additional 200,000 soldiers and civilians as backup. The situation is too great and should not be touched lightly."
"It's not appropriate to move lightly. It's not appropriate to move lightly. Could it be that I, the king, just let Longzan Aqi do whatever he wants? If so, if all the tribes follow suit, there will be no need for Ming Yuzhen and Zhu Yuanzhang to attack, and we will collapse ourselves." His voice was fierce, and he was roaring like a hysterical figure.
The previous admonishment officer said again: "It has become a fact that Longzan Aqi has occupied the city and gathered people to cause chaos. Our Yunnan troops are already unable to attack it. It is better for me to follow the current and sell him a short favor."
Hearing this, Valmi asked, "How can I sell a short favor?"
The admonishing minister smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if King Liang makes him the lord of Shun Yuan City. If he agrees, he will naturally not expand the war." After a pause, the admonishing minister continued: "When King Liang will have his soldiers and horses mature, , it won’t be too late to attack Shunyuan City again,”
The King of Liang was very angry with Zaci Valmi, but his subordinates said bluntly that it was not unreasonable. At present, he had an army of 300,000, but it was untrained and lacked food and fodder. It was really impossible to recapture Shun Yuan, so he had no choice but to do so. Next, the King of Liang made Zaci Valmi make a cowardly act of making concessions for the first time in his life. He sent envoys to discuss peace and granted Longzan Aqi a reward. This is a good move. He has been slapped and still goes to compliment others. What kind of behavior is this? It's a matter.
When the Yuan envoy arrived in the present-day Guizhou City, he met Longzan Aqi as he wished. Longzan Aqi received instructions from Dakui and was the first to roar and attack.
"The King of Liang arrested the Ming envoy, why did he kill my brother and burn my Yao village?" Long Zan Aqi spoke righteously and was so angry that he couldn't contain his anger.
Before the Yuan envoy spoke, Long Zan Aqi shouted angrily again: "We, all the ethnic groups in Guizhou, are united. We have always paid for food every month and obeyed the law. Why are we being brutally killed and the people are uneasy?"
Yuan Shi finally got a chance to speak: "Master, please don't get angry. If you have anything to say, we can discuss it easily."
Long Zan Aqi continued to get angry: "If King Liang sincerely negotiates for peace, he must compensate all my clans for their losses. Please go back."
The Yuan envoy couldn't help but feel dizzy and asked quickly: "I don't know how the leader wants King Liang to compensate him."
Longzan Aqi didn't even think about it, so he said, "There are three million taels of silver, even one copper mill is missing. If we can't wait for compensation in a month, Longzan Aqi will lead his troops to Zhongqing City to get it. "
"Ah," Yuanshi was immediately dumbfounded. This was not a peace negotiation. Isn't this just pretending to be a grandson?
The envoy of the Yuan Dynasty did not dare to delay, so he quickly returned to Zhongqing City to report to the king of Liang. Zaci Warmi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He threw pots and bowls in a rage, and he had three million taels in reserve. The envoys with silver and appointment documents came to Guizhou City again. This time Longzan Aqi held a grand ceremony to welcome the Yuan envoys and hosted a banquet in honor of the envoys. It is said that they came all the way to send three million taels of silver. After all, it was necessary to have a meal. After having a good meal, the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty read out the appointment document: "The King of Liang cherishes talents and accepts talents. Hearing that Longzan Aqi of the Yi tribe is both virtuous and talented, he is specially granted the title of Longzan Aqi. He was appointed as the envoy of Xuanfu of Shunyuan, and the eighth envoy of Shunyuan was granted the title of Zuocheng of Yunnan Province, and he was also awarded three million taels of silver to show his favor."
It was obviously a request for compensation, but King Liang wanted to put money on his face and call it a reward, but Long Zan Aqi didn't care and happily accepted the reward immediately.
After seeing off the Yuan envoys, the first thing Longzan Aqi did was to purchase pig iron from other provinces, recruit skilled craftsmen, and build weapons and armor to arm the army. Today's coalition of various ethnic groups is just a ragtag group, and the weapons in their hands are simply unsightly. Although In the early period, the Yuan soldiers' munitions depot left a batch of weapons and armor, but it was far from enough to accomplish anything.
For a time, people from various ethnic groups in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi came to like each other. At first, Longzan Aqi was just the leader of Wuzhai with 100,000 soldiers, but in less than two months, he had nearly 200,000 standing troops under his command.
There are the Ming Yuzhen tribe of Daxia Kingdom in Sichuan, the Longzan Aqi tribe of the multi-ethnic coalition in Guizhou, and the remnant Yuanting tribe in Yunnan headed by Liang Wang Bazaci Valmi. In terms of strength, today's Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan regions are Just like Wei, Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms period, the three kingdoms stood in a tripod. The king of Liang had a long-standing feud with Zaci Valmi and Daxia, but Longzan Aqi was sandwiched in the middle and played a mediating role. The three areas of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan were peaceful for a while and there was no war.
At this time, Dakui and Meng Ge had already embarked on their return journey, leaving only Pan Bu in Guizhou City to assist Longzan Aqi in managing daily affairs. During this trip to Yunnan, Dakui and Meng Ge narrowly escaped death, and nearly a thousand soldiers of the Ming army were buried. In a foreign country, the autumn wind was bleak at this time, and people say that people are timid when they are close to home. When Dakui came, he had nearly a thousand people and horses, but when he returned, they were in pairs and desolate. Thinking of his beloved wife at home, and his only son Zhang Changfeng, Dakui couldn't help but feel like returning home. , riding horses and whipping whips all the way back home.
Tian Feng and Zhou Kai were previously asked to return to the capital to inform the court of Liang Wang's conspiracy, but they didn't know what the outcome would be. Dakui was so anxious that he exchanged horses with Meng Ge for their journey, and it only took more than a month for them to rush back. Suzhou territory.
When Dakui came to the door of his house, his servant Ah Fu screamed, and then he was overjoyed. Then he turned around and crawled to report the news. Dakui stood outside the door and heard Ah Fu's shout: "Madam, Madam, Master Come back,"
For a moment, Zhang's house was in an uproar. Master Feng hurried out to welcome him. When he saw Da Kui, he cried with joy: "Master Zhang, you are back," he said with tears in his eyes and he was choked with tears.
As soon as Dakui entered, he saw Huang Ying carrying Zhang Changfeng to the front house.
"Back,"
"Yes," the couple looked at each other without saying anything, but it felt like they were separated from each other when they saw each other again.
"Hehehe, let me hug Changfeng," Dakui stepped forward, picked up his son Zhang Changfeng from Huang Ying's arms, and leaned down to be intimate with the child. Zhang Changfeng was sleeping soundly at this time, and was suddenly touched by Dakui's beard. When he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw a big face smiling in front of him. He hadn't seen each other for several months, and the father and son were also a little unfamiliar with each other. Zhang Changfeng was so frightened that he almost burst into tears.
With tears on her face, Huang Ying gently hugged Zhang Changfeng back, and then returned to the back house silently without saying a word. She knew that Dakui must still have something to do.
Dakui stood in the front courtyard, feeling calm for a long time.
"Master Feng, prepare a memorial. I want to submit a letter to the court," Dakui said and went to the hall.
Master Feng agreed and followed Da Kui to the hall.
When Master Feng prepared the Four Treasures of the Study and the special memorial for Da Kui, Da Kui slowly said: "I, Zhang Dakui, the political envoy to Jiangnan, reported that I was ordered to recruit peace in Yunnan, but the king of Liang sent Valmi to Zaza because of the remote terrain. , gathered troops to resist the imperial dynasty, the ministers and others took the opportunity to escape from Zhongqing, intercepted the messages sent by Valmicho to various places, and sent heavy troops to pursue him. After several deadly battles, the Yunnan pacification envoy Wang Xiyuan and his three hundred Suzhou city soldiers and All two hundred of my bodyguards were killed in the battle. I have obeyed the Holy Order and asked to be dismissed from office. I hope that the Holy One will grant my permission."
When Master Feng heard this, he was horrified to death, and the hand holding the pen was shaking violently. He could never have imagined that he didn't see anyone else coming back. He thought they all went to Suzhou City, a saddle horse race, and went to bathe in the city. It is reasonable to have a good meal at once, but I never imagined that they all died in Yunnan.
Dakui turned around and saw Master Feng with a pale face. He knew that he was in trouble, so he comforted him: "Master Feng, don't be sad. I have avenged them."
"My son," Master Feng howled sadly, and his voice burst into tears.
When Dakui saw this, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock. Just as he was about to walk around the table, Master Feng spit out a mouthful of blood, and then his body softened and fell backwards. Dakui swayed behind him and reached out to hold him. Looking again, Master Feng had his eyes closed tightly and passed out.
Da Kui hurriedly ordered his servants to fetch the doctor, and then he personally took Master Feng back to the bedroom.
The doctor came to Zhang's house in a hurry. After taking Master Feng's pulse, Dakui asked urgently: "Mr. Zhong, how is my husband's condition?"
The doctor thought for a long time, then sighed and said, "My body is so sad and my heart is so anxious." He shook his head as he spoke.
"Then how to treat it?" Dakui asked urgently, grabbing the doctor's arm, but then let go. He knew that it was useless to be anxious, it was better to listen to what the doctor said.
The doctor wrote a prescription and gave it to Dakui, saying: "I have prescribed a prescription here, which can clear fire and calm the nerves. As for the rest, it depends on fate. Heart diseases require careful medicine." After saying this, he carried the medicine box and walked toward the door. Go for laymen.
Dakui quickly took out a piece of silver from his arms, chased after him and stuffed it into the doctor's hand, and said: "Mr. doctor, please go slowly. I have something to ask of you."
The doctor bowed and said: "My lord, please give me your instructions."
Dakui said in a trembling voice: "No matter what method you use, you must protect my husband. I will give you a big thank you when the job is done."
Hearing this, the doctor nodded and said, "Common people, please do your best." When he said this, the doctor actually had no confidence at all. When Dakui saw the doctor's demeanor, he couldn't help but feel nervous, but he still ordered his servants to Sent out the door.
Even after the medicine was boiled, Master Feng still didn't wake up. After Da Kui asked someone to give him the medicine, he returned to the back house.
In the early morning of the next day, Da Kui came to visit Master Feng early. When he entered the door, he saw Master Feng lying on the bed, his eyes looking at the ceiling without saying a word, but his eyes were no longer clear, and turned out to be turbid.
"Master Feng, I'm here to see you. Are you feeling better?" Da Kui walked to the bed and stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for Master Feng.
"My son...," Master Feng muttered to himself, his voice was as loud as a mosquito.
Dakui couldn't help asking: "Who are you talking about?"
Fortunately, Master Feng still had some sense in his mind. When Da Kui asked, he seemed to be talking to himself: "My son's name is Feng Sikai, and his nickname is 'Shitou'."
"Master Feng's son is a stone," Da Kui heard this and was like thunder.
