Tribal autonomy, which was once the hubbub of Songfan, has returned to peace after several years of turmoil. The chieftain of Qionghe tribe, Meisi, told the people below that fortunately, when Ye Duyuan inspected Hongyuan, his family did not cause trouble. , otherwise the consequences are really unpredictable.
The heads of the Longbai tribe and the Chama tribe were suddenly at a loss and collectively became speechless. Danmu and Wanqiu were worried and sat together to discuss how to deal with it next.
Danmu said bitterly: "Ye Yunxuan promised things on my Zhebo Mountain that day, but now nothing has been done!"
Wanqiu asked: "What did he promise?"
Dan Mu said: "He promised not to interfere with the customs of our tribes and promised to be friends with us forever!"
Wanqiu said: "Are you talking about these two promises? Then I can tell you clearly that they have not broken their promises, or there is no promise at all!"
Danmu asked: "Why do you say that?"
Wanqiu said: "Last time we sent people to Baima Courtyard, Yuan Hao said that Baima Courtyard always respects our customs and our autonomy, more than Ye Yunxuan promised. As for friends, what are friends? Me The person sent to Xuanyuan Temple just came back, and he told me that Ye Yunxuan received him warmly, and during the conversation, he repeatedly mentioned being good friends, eight times in total!"
"Then what?"
"Nothing more. Regarding my proposal of self-determination and tribal system, he never answered a single word directly!"
Danmu said angrily: "Is this the friend he said? Then why did he come to Songfan? Didn't he make a fool of us all? Did he come here deliberately to tease people?"
Wanqiu spread his hands and said, "I don't know about that. But the problem we are facing now is, how should we talk to Baimayuan?"
"Do you still want to go? There's no way to talk! The White Horse Court doesn't recognize our rights over the people Well, what did Yuan Hao say? By the way, if we don't recognize our legal rights over the people, we can't punish the untouchables who commit crimes. , what kind of autonomy is this? If you listen to his words, what big autonomy, small autonomy, internal autonomy, external autonomy, this is simply depriving us of our autonomy power in the name of keeping the promise. Ming people are really too cunning, than The Dangxiang people are much more cunning! The Dangxiang people won¡¯t do it if they say no, but if they say it¡¯s okay, at least we know how to deal with it. But as for Ming people, they say it¡¯s okay, but in fact it¡¯s not. Sometimes they say no, but they can¡¯t. But do it openly, the key is that you can¡¯t find anything wrong with it!¡±
Danmu walked back and forth, waving his hands constantly, venting the anger in his heart.
"We should fight them with a knife, beat them painfully and severely, and let them know how powerful our White Horse Trilogy is, and then they will sit down honestly and give back what belongs to us! By the way, there is also the coward Meisi, who didn¡¯t even have the will to resist, so he just surrendered! How can he still look like a leader now? He only holds a title and can¡¯t control anything! He really tainted the Qionghe tribe The reputation of our ancestors!¡±
Wanqiu put his hands on his chest and silently allowed Danmu to burst out his emotions. Waiting for him to finish, he thought to himself: "This anxious barbarian!"
Suddenly Danmu asked: "There is a saying recently, have you heard of it?"
Wanqiu was startled: "What?"
Dan Mu said: "Some people say that you are not of Chama tribe blood, and that your father is a wandering orphan adopted by the old chieftain."
Wanqiu suddenly said: "Who said that? How dare you slander me like this!"
Danmu shook his head: "Some people say that it was my father who led the party members into Zhebo Mountain to slaughter the mountain. Haha This kind of rumor has spread throughout Hongyuan now. I am afraid that you and I will be the last to know."
The two looked at each other, and they both saw the look of fear on each other's faces. After a long time, Danmu asked, "Should we fight?"
Wanqiu¡¯s cheeks twitched and he didn¡¯t dare to answer.
Danmu said again: "If we don't want to fight, let's go to Baimayuan to talk?"
Wanqiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk first."
The Longbai tribe and the Chama tribe each sent envoys to the White Horse Courtyard to discuss with Abbot Zhao. However, throughout April, they had no chance to see Zhao Ran. Even Yuan Hao, who they could often see in the past, seemed He was also extremely busy, and only took time to meet with the two envoys once, and only drank a cup of tea.
The person who received the two envoys throughout the whole process was Lu Zhicheng, the new intellectual guest of Baima Court, who was also the former Lu Fangzhu and Lu Miaozhu. After the completion of the Moon Temple, Jin Jiu rushed to Hongyuan from Guyang County to serve as the temple's blessing. Li Zhike, who planned to build the Moon Temple, was promoted to the post of governor of Baimayuan. Lu Zhicheng was promoted from Xiaojie Temple and served as Zhike. He was the first to build the temple. A big thing is to be responsible for negotiating with Longbai and Chama.
??According to Lu Zhike, it is spring plowing now, so Abbot Zhao and Yuan Jianyuan are both very busy. Please tell me about this.?The envoy was more considerate and could talk to him personally about anything. He himself was willing to sit down with friends from the two tribes to resolve the issue of tribal autonomy that had existed in Hongyuan for several years.
Lu Zhike adhered to the will of the Baima Yuan. He told the envoys of the two ministries that the Baima Yuan had always abided by the agreement reached by the Longbai and Chama tribes with the Ming Dynasty and respected the autonomy of the two ministries. This was the main premise, and the Baima Yuan had not changed this. premise idea.
"However, we also ask the Longbai Department and the Chama Department to abide by the agreement of the year and complete the conversion of the people as soon as possible. At the same time, they must ensure that they abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and respect the Ming Dynasty's policy of not implementing slavery.
The two sides have conducted full exchanges on this issue, especially the core issue - the understanding of tribal autonomy.
But unfortunately, due to the huge differences, we still haven¡¯t reached an agreement after talking for a month.
The White Horse Courtyard is calm and relaxed, but Long Bai and Cha Ma are unable to sit still. In February, the number of escaped slaves in the two groups was 509. In March, the number dropped slightly to 463. In April, the number returned to 532.
¡°These escaped slaves used various methods to escape wildly, some climbed over mountains and ridges, some lurked by the road at night, some fell off ropes from cliffs, and some floated along rivers
The two big chieftains and the servants of the big and small heads took various measures to guard against it, but they still couldn't prevent it. In May, even the slaves of some bosses began to flee. How to prevent this? You can't just lead the people to carry the bow and sword on your own, right? What's more, even if they go in person, how many roads can they hold?
If this number continues, 6,000 people will run away in the first year. How many will run away in the second year? What about the third year? The two groups combined have more than 50,000 people. In less than five years, Zhebo Mountain and Yanggong Mountain will probably have to be farmed and herded by these big and small heads.
Baimayuan just dragged on, and Lu Zhike slowly negotiated with the two departments. Danmu and Wanqiu couldn't stand it anymore. The blunt knife cut the flesh, but the flesh was really lost without blood.
Danmu and Wanqiu sent people to find Meisi, hoping that Meisi would come forward and help meet Abbot Zhao, but Meisi declined. In the nearly six years since entering the Ming Dynasty, Mei Si has never felt as relieved as she did at this moment. She secretly praised herself: "People in the Ming Dynasty said that those who understand current affairs are heroes. It seems that I can barely be considered a hero!"
