"It goes without saying that the journey is long, but the Mo clan can occupy Gaoping. It shows that the strength is not weak. Our clan can defeat it? If not, can His Highness recruit the Ming army to help in the battle?" The corners of Yang's mouth were raised, as if with a hint of sarcasm, and his eyes were
Lengran is nothing like the warmth towards Mengzhu.
"Gaoping is a safe place for your clan to live in, and it is also the basis for our Ming army to advance eastward." Zhu Yongxing was a little surprised that the Central Committee spoke Chinese, but he responded without any sign of weakness: "Mo's occupation of Gaoping is not due to tyranny.
, the Zheng family could not destroy it. But the Mo family had the Ming Dynasty title of "Annan Capital Commander". The Zheng family was still afraid of the power of the Ming Dynasty, and was at war with the Ruan family and could not capture it. In fact, the Mo family's power declined prematurely and was no longer the hero it once was.
.”
"How many Ming troops can your Highness recruit?" Yang was not moved by Zhu Yongxing's eloquent rhetoric, but asked further.
Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment, stretched out his finger, and said firmly: "At least five thousand."
Yang lowered his eyelids and fell into deep thought.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask how to get out of Myanmar? How to get to Gaoping, Annan? How is it going smoothly after traveling thousands of miles?" an old man asked, stroking his beard.
"First attack the Manmo Tufu and grab enough money and food. Then we can split into two routes. The old and the weak will take boats and rafts up the river and go straight to Dian Province." Zhu Yongxing took a sip of tea and continued: "The other route is mainly for the young and strong.
, broke through the Burma Pass, captured the armor and weapons of the Ming army inside the pass, and then marched with the flag of the Ming army to meet up with the people on the other side. After meeting, they headed towards Yongchang, and then moved along the Yuan River by water and land, and then went straight to Annan."
When Yongli and the small imperial court took refuge in Burma, they agreed in front of the Burma Pass that "all armored weapons must be released before they are allowed to enter the pass." For a time, the guards and middle officers all undressed their bows, swords and armor, and mountains of weapons and equipment were piled up in front of the pass.
Go with them with bare hands. This act of self-disarmament makes Zhu Yongxing despise and resent him. The Mengshan Ke people may be brave, but according to his observation, the weapons are really crude. If they obtain this armament and supplies, they will add it to the Myanmar army.
The capture of soldiers in combat will definitely greatly improve their combat effectiveness. Moreover, operating in Yunnan Province under the banner of the Ming Army will reduce the hostility of many local chieftains and reduce a lot of troubles.
However, the Manmo native officials and the Burmese chieftains worked together to exploit and plunder the Mengshan Ke people, leaving the tribe with insufficient food and grass. To solve this problem, it was necessary to attack the Manmo native government and obtain enough money and food to enable long-distance migration.
Speaking of which, this fatal disaster was also caused by the Manmo native officials and the Burmese chieftains themselves, and they were themselves to blame.
"Attack them unprepared and defeat them one by one. This strategy is feasible." The great witch said in a calm tone. Ever since he raised the issue of relocating the entire clan, Zhu Yongxing had some opinions on him, but he did not expect that he would be the first to express his support.
Siwei pondered for a moment and said: "This must be the best policy at the moment. Your Highness has the blood of the Emperor Ming and is appointed to oversee the country in Yunnan. He will not deceive you with clever words."
"So what if it's a clever trick?" A sinister-looking old man said it bluntly without hiding his worries.
Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but frown slightly after listening to Azhu's translation. This issue of mutual trust was indeed a bit difficult to solve.
"I wonder if Uncle God has any suggestions?" Siwei looked very respectful to the old man and asked harmoniously.
"Let him swear to the Gu God to relieve our worries." The old man narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If he doesn't dare, we will make another plan for him."
After hearing Mengzhu's story, Zhu Yongxing readily agreed and swore, as a modern person, he didn't take it too seriously. But Mengzhu had a look of fear on his face and blinked, as if to make him change his mind.
However, Zhu Yongxing did not allow Zhu Yongxing to think carefully. The old man had already stood up and took out a bamboo box with great care. His expression was very solemn and he was muttering something in his mouth. Then, he slowly handed the box to Zhu Yongxing.
He said in a low voice: "Open the box and please swear to the Gu God!"
At this time, Zhu Yongxing was a little hesitant. He had heard about the Miao people's poison, which was very mysterious and terrifying. It was hard for him to imagine that there was something mysterious in this bamboo box that could use a person's spiritual power.
Change, or one who uses oaths to control people's life and death, made him feel nervous.
No matter what, I really want to accomplish great things, and I’m not deceiving you. Besides, where did I come from? Not to mention how many kinds of vaccines I had on my body, even the residues of pesticides and fertilizers, waste oil, Sudan red, etc.
It’s a bit too much to say that all poisons are indestructible and that all poisons are invulnerable, but you don’t have to be too afraid of these things that have no scientific basis, right?
Just swear, what's the big deal? After only a moment of hesitation, Zhu Yongxing made up his mind, reached out and slowly opened the lid of the box, and immediately looked into the bamboo box.
When he looked at it for the first time, Zhu Yongxing's face was relieved, because there was nothing in the bamboo box, it was empty! Zhu Yongxing looked at the sinister old man in front of him in surprise. The old man raised his chin and spoke briefly and forcefully.
Then he spoke difficult Chinese: "Swear."
Okay, Zhu Yongxing scratched his head, raised his right hand, and said the oath to never deceive each other. Suddenly, a strong fragrance came in from his nostrils, making Zhu Yongxing stunned for a moment. Then, he also looked
Qing, that box is not empty!
There is something in the lower part of the bamboo box, and the thing is still moving. It is a living thing! It is a dark red thing, and its shape is just like a person's heart, and its movements
, just like the human heart is beating, and its color is gradually changing, from dark red to bright red, and it seems like blood is about to drip out.
Due to the incredible sight in front of him, Zhu Yongxing opened his eyes so wide that he almost didn't even blink. Then he saw two very thin strands of silk slowly coming out of it, like a flute player.
It was like a snake under the sound of the flute, twisting and dancing. He had never seen such a strange sight before, and he was completely stunned!
The sinister old man had a look of surprise on his face. He was stunned for a long time and then muttered a few words.
Patriarch Siwei felt relieved and said to Zhu Yongxing with some joy: "Okay, Gu God has heard your oath and given you strength."
Zhu Yongxing looked up at Siwei in confusion, and then looked down at the box. There was nothing. The box was as empty as when he opened it.
The old man Yin Zhi closed the lid of the box and put it away with great care.
"What is that?" Zhu Yongxing swallowed, with a look of horror and surprise on his face.
"Whatever you see is what you see." Siwei replied in an incomprehensible way.
"I saw——" Before Zhu Yongxing could finish speaking, Siwei reached out his hand to interrupt him with great seriousness.
"No need to say it, no need to say it, no one knows how to say it." Siwei shook his head repeatedly and said: "From now on, His Highness's request is the request of our entire clan, and no one dares to disobey His Highness's order. Let's go first.
I will resign to organize the people in the clan and ask Your Highness to discuss it with the great witch."
Oh, Zhu Yongxing shook his head, it was a bit weird, but he quickly got rid of distracting thoughts, and after these people left, he handed over the most important thing at the moment to the great witch.
