    During the time Zheng Guobao came to Sichuan, the three southwestern provinces were quite uneasy, and several conflicts had broken out.  .  Bozhou sent troops to attack Hongtou, Gaoping, Xincun and other villages in Guizhou and seize grain.  It's just that the governor of Guizhou, Yang Yikui, was a general of the Zheng Party. After he took office, he realized that the Battle of Bozhou would happen sooner or later.  Changing from the previous governor's indulgent and compromising attitude towards Bozhou, he prepared his troops vigorously and prepared for war with all his strength.  In the past, Bozhou often sent troops to plunder and kill Han people and seize money and food.  In the end, it was nothing more than saying that Bozhou was barren and could not survive without looting. All this was the fault of the imperial court, not Bozhou's problem.  Otherwise, it is said that the local Han people did not respect the living habits of the Bozhou people, which led to large-scale fights. In short, the fault always lies with the Han officials.  Basically no one was held accountable for the killings and injuries caused by Bozhou to the Han people.  On the contrary, if the imperial court causes harm to Bozhou, the official in charge will be charged with treating the people harshly and provoking a civil uprising. The lightest case will be to remove the seal, and the most serious case will be to face charges.  This principle of doing things also led to the idea that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to fight and did not want to fight.  Yang Yikui has a tough attitude this time and will fight with all his strength. The troops must not only fight, but also win.  As long as the battle is won, rewards are not a big deal.  As for killing and wounding, more is better. If something big happens, I will bear it.  With such a tough guy like him, and with the assistance of the Jin Yiwei below, these Ming troops let go of their hands and fought several battles, with casualties on each other, but without taking advantage of each other.  ??Then Bozhou began to gather tribesmen and form alliances based on blood, saying that they wanted to avenge the tribesmen who were randomly killed by the imperial court, expel Ming officials, and restore the old system of Bozhou.  Another Miao king joined the covenant.  He led tens of thousands of seedlings and came to help in the battle. For a time, Bozhou had a mighty army, claiming to have gathered 200,000 troops, thousands of generals, food and grass reserves for fifty years, and complete soldiers and armor, enough to establish a country.  Yang Yinglong also sent a message to several other chieftains, including the Shuixi'an clan, the Yongningshe clan, and invited them to join his camp.  A battle with the Ming Dynasty.  Make yourself king.  The martial arts communities in the three southwestern provinces also received orders from the alliance leader, requiring disciples from all sects to form armies on the spot to compete with the Ming army.  Or form a stronghold and defend it.  Or harass the guerrillas.  Destroy warehousing.  In the future, he will not lose his position as the founding father of the country.  Even if there are more than a dozen people on the hilltop who rely on beating sap and robbing Guyan, they are still given the title of Jiedushi.  It¡¯s just because of Zheng Guobao¡¯s previous layout.  Even before Boshu formally formed an alliance to raise troops, it was already difficult to purchase supplies such as salt and iron.  It is impossible for the sects in the southwest to receive this letter of appointment.  The imperial court's army was relatively well prepared. As soon as Yang Yinglong joined the army, the three provinces began large-scale bandit suppression activities. The green forest cottages in their own provinces were sifted through a sieve. Countless hilltops disappeared into thin air, and countless powerful people and green forest lords were revealed.  His head became the soldier's military exploits.  Against this background, Song Shichen, the deputy general of Loushanguan, and He En, the general manager of the Chinese army, secretly sent envoys to contact Zeng Shengwu and agreed to surrender the pass.  I only ask that after the imperial court captures Bozhou, it will treat the people well, forgive the He and Song clans, and not kill them.  Zeng Shengwu has a good reputation in Sichuan. He is a famous counterinsurgency expert and the ancestor of many murderers.  The entire Duzhang barbarians had been killed by him. He and Song were afraid of his reputation and took the initiative to surrender, which was an unexpected benefit.  Loushanguan is the gateway to Bozhou. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack because it is in a dangerous place.  Since Yang Duanbing entered Bozhou, the world has changed dynasties several times, and there have been countless emperors on the dragon throne, but the Yang family has always been firmly seated on the throne of Bozhou. Even when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty conquered the world and shocked Europe, the Yang family could still sit as the grass-headed king.  He also entered Bo Guogong, and he should take the lead in the danger of Loushan.  The dangerous mountain terrain, difficult roads, and solid city defenses determined that there was no way to take advantage of this pass and could only be attacked by force.  From bottom to top, there are thirteen lines of defense, each of which requires countless flesh and blood to fill.  This pass is like a giant beast with its bloody mouth open, waiting for people to feed it with blood.  I don't know how many elite soldiers and fierce generals looked at Guan Guan and sighed. After being injured and wounded, they retreated sadly.  The terrain here is complex and it is difficult to use large firearms. The various artillery of the government and army, even foreign artillery, have little room to display.  In Bozhou, it is said that copper materials were smuggled in through the door, and several bronze cannons were cast. Yang Yinglong was awarded the title of founding general, general of the country, and other general titles, and was regarded as a sacred weapon.  Among them, two bronze guns were erected at Loushan Pass. When the time comes, they will be bombarded by artillery from a high position. I don't know how many casualties will be caused.  Even if the imperial court relied on its numerical advantage and fought steadily, it could win this natural danger.  We also have to consider the issue of food and grass consumption. Now there are no less than 100,000 people on the road, and a large amount of food and grass are consumed every day. It is very difficult to transport food outside. If the war becomes a long-term consumption and food and grass are not provided, it will inevitably be a total loss.  The ending of collapse.  Yang Yinglong attached great importance to Loushanguan and sent his son Yang Chaodong to take charge of it, ready to fight to the death with the government troops.  Zeng Sheng and others held meetings for several days, but could not come up with a good way to attack the city and break the stronghold. The surrender of He En and others could be regarded as a timely help.  ?But since Zheng Guobao didn't come, no one could do anything about this master, and the matter of surrender could not be finalized.  Zheng Guobao said with great joy: "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I mention it when Zeng Gong met just now?" Qin Liangyu said angrily: "How can I just talk about this matter casually? If my father hadn't happened to be the middleman in this matter, I wouldn't have  I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Then why are you hesitating? Come and talk to him in detail. If this happens, I will give you a bright future.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessary, sir.  With age, people no longer use their muscles and bones, and their bodies are no longer useful. I'm afraid they won't be able to help the court." Qin Kui smiled and looked calm, and did not take Zheng Guobao's promise seriously.  "It's just that I can't bear to see the people suffer, and I can't bear to see my sons of the Han family suffer too much, so I'm just trying to be a mediator. I just hope that the imperial envoy will be merciful and leave a way for the He and Song clans to survive.  , I can¡¯t thank you enough.¡± After he said this, he glanced at Zeng Xingwu beside him, and he couldn¡¯t say anything.  As a strong-armed figure, Zeng Shenggo once revealed his intention to uproot Banshu this time during the Banshu Incident.  With these words from the governor who had killed all the barbarians, Bozhou's fate seemed to be foreseeable.  Qin Kui wanted to let Zheng Guobao speak out and save the lives of some people in Bozhou.  But what he didn't know was that Zeng Shengwu was not a murderous person. His words this time were certainly a kind of anger towards Bozhou for his long-term evil behavior and contempt for the king's law. To a greater extent, he was influenced by Zheng Guobao.  It had to be arranged this way.  After Zheng Guobao recommended him to be the governor of Sichuan, he once mentioned in a letter that Bozhou would be "permanently rendered harmless". Zeng Shengwu also understood what he meant. What he said was just to pave the way for his uncle.  Expecting Zheng Guobao to show mercy is like seeking the skin of a tiger, which is impossible.  "This matter is easy to talk about. As long as Generals He and Song can really switch and surrender, I will spare their clans. Among the people of Bozhou, whoever can take the initiative to defect to the imperial court, I will forget the blame. I will be deceived and blameless, and I will turn against you."  The attack has merit. This is my policy. However, if anyone is determined to follow Yang Yinglong and go all the way, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I support Zeng Junmen. The Yi people in Bozhou are afraid of authority.  He is not unethical. Over the years, he has repeatedly challenged the authority of the imperial court. He has also expelled Han officials, killed economic officials, and even made a statement demanding Bozhou's autonomy and not being subject to imperial control. Listen, are these human words?  This time they even sent people to cause chaos in the capital, causing a big explosion in Wang Gong Factory, causing disaster to countless people. Cancers like this must be eradicated. " Qin Kui shook his head helplessly, "As long as the people of the He and Song clans are saved,  I am an old friend. As for the others, it depends on their fortunes. " "Where is the special envoy from Bozhou? I don't know when they can meet with me to discuss the details of surrender.  The people from the two tribes are probably not as powerful as Yang Chaodong, and they still need the cooperation of the government and the army. " "Yang Chaodong is a sophisticated man. It is not easy for people from the He and Song tribes to meet the imperial envoy.  If the news leaks accidentally, it will be very wrong. "Zeng Shengwu snorted, "Ming Yuweng, don't go around in circles at this time. What conditions do you want to promote the surrender of the He and Song families?  It's better to tell us as soon as possible. There are only three of us here, and we guarantee that the news will not escape. With so many people and horses, how much food will be consumed in a day, we can do it as quickly as possible, so don't delay."
