In Zheng Guobao's Loushanguan camp, several people in strange and special costumes stood in a row in front of him. They were respectful and did not dare to offend in the slightest. () The martial arts of these people may not be very good, but many heroes would rather offend the leaders of the big factions than offend these few people. It's just because these people are the elders and protectors of the Five Poison Sect, and all of them have amazing poison-using skills, as well as the legendary Gu technique that is unpredictable and kills people invisible. These things have gone beyond the scope of martial arts. Who dares to provoke them? Among the three southwestern provinces, not counting those heroes, even the master of Miao Rendong is very polite to the elders of the Five Poison Sect. He is afraid that if he is not careful, the other party will retaliate against his tribe and poison him to death. A few livestock destroyed the tribe's water source, and I, the leader, was afraid that it would be the end of him. Some elders are part-time wizards in the tribe, and their status is aloof. They are above the top. Back when Murong Miao was fighting against ten heroes, he was beaten badly by these elders, his nose and face were bruised and swollen. Zheng Guobao is not as afraid of them as the natives here. He even married the former leader of the Five Poison Sect and is still waiting in Chengdu to give him a child. What else does he not understand about the Five Poison Sect? They are good at using poison, but it has not yet reached the point where it is colorless, odorless, and hard to detect. Whoever they want to kill will definitely die. In fact, if they really had this ability, the Five Poison Sect would have been the dominant family in the southwestern martial arts community for a long time. As for the Gu, it was also rumored to be magical on purpose, in order to attract attention and intimidate enemies, but the actual effect was far less powerful than advertised. The Gu King of Blue Phoenix struggled, its toxicity was indeed strong. But it is only highly toxic and has no other effects at all. If it were used in a battle formation, it would not be able to sting a few people, but they would all be killed. In fact, the Five Poison Cult Leaders in the past dynasties rarely used Gu King, because they knew that this thing was of no use. They could use it to scare people, but when they really used it to defeat the enemy and win, their true colors were revealed. Lost its mystery. The Five Poison Sect usually spends a lot of money to hire scholars. They concocted some mysterious legends from Miao territory, and then sent people to spread them everywhere. They relied on such far-fetched horror stories to make people fear the Five Poisons Sect. Don't dare to provoke. And this kind of story about strange power and God. It is the most popular among the people. Relying on these weird stories from the Miao border, they not only attracted tourism resources for the Five Poison Sect, but also made their evil reputation spread far and wide. No one dares to offend him, so he kills two birds with one stone. The craftsmanship of various elders in raising Gu and snakes is similar to that of the Gu King. They are all legendary and miraculous skills. If exposed, they are just general. Now that he knew their background, how could Zheng Guobao take them seriously? On the contrary, these elders all respected their uncle, fearing that if they accidentally angered this noble man, their wealth and life would be ruined. When Zheng Guobao first started to use troops, they had active contact with Lan Fenghuang, but in fact they did not take many actions. After all, they did not dare to make a conclusion on the outcome of the imperial court and Bozhou, so how could they dare to place casual bets. When Loushanguan changed hands and Yang Chaodong was killed, these people began to push all their chips to the court and decided to be loyal to the court and never waver. "How many benefits will your surrender bring?" Zheng Guobao looked at these elders calmly. "Now that the imperial army has gathered, they will march directly to Hailongdun in a few days. By then, everyone who follows Yang Yinglong to cause trouble will be It won't end well. It seems a little too late for you to surrender now. It doesn't seem too easy to count you as a front-line uprising. Of course, I want to see the face of Phoenix, but I also have to follow this rule. "I am not the only one who has the final say in this army. Don't make things difficult for me." "Don't worry, imperial envoy, we are sincere in surrendering this time, so we will naturally show it." An elder said first, "Everyone." , we have brought them all and are willing to donate them to the court without any money. From now on, we will hand over 100 boxes of aphrodisiac to the court every year. We guarantee that they will be of high quality and there will never be any shortage. " Another elder saw that Zheng Guobao was obviously confused. He was not interested and took a step forward. "We have also heard that the imperial court wanted to implement the policy of reforming the native land and returning it to local people in the southwest. The Miao people in the southwest were not converted by the king, but were transformed into wild people who did not understand the principles and laws. For several years, they only knew that There is a Miao king, but I don¡¯t know the court. If we want to reform the land here, they will be the biggest obstacle. I can still say a few words to the various tribes in the Miao territory, and I will definitely contribute to the court when the time comes. Try your best to appease the Miao people and prevent them from ruining the court's arrangements. ""The Miao people do not respect the king. I have heard this excuse many times and I am really not interested." Zheng Guobao's face became more and more indifferent. Regarding the education of the Miao people, they themselves refused the opportunity to receive education. On the one hand, they refused to learn Chinese characters and the legal principles of the Han family. On the other hand, they used the excuse that they did not respect the king and did whatever they wanted, even setting up a junior high school. When there is a conflict, they will act recklessly, say nothing when they get an advantage, and just say that the court abused them, barbarians. Is there anything more unreasonable in the world than this? Han officials came to manage them, let them learn Han culture and receive Han education,Learn legal principles and integrate into the life of Han people. They themselves have two choices. One is to sincerely join the imperial court, organize households and people, pay taxes and grain according to the rules, and perform the corvee service they are required to perform. The other choice is to learn from all the barbarians, raise an army and rebel, and then leave no one behind. were killed. There is no third way to go. The Ming Dynasty only has one court and one system, which does not allow them to do whatever they want based on their status as outsiders. In recent years, the imperial court has treated the Miao people very well, being very tolerant of them and not even collecting much taxes. But what is the reward for the Miao people? King Miao followed Yang Yinglong's rebellion and raised troops. He treated the court's goodwill with shameful betrayal and had to be prepared to face the court's punishment. Gone are the days of doing whatever you want, and then relying on your status as a savage to escape punishment, becoming a first-class cave master and a second-class officer. Isn't Yang Yinglong checking the troops in the horse breeding city and preparing for a decisive battle with the imperial court? Those Miao people can join in and see what they are capable of, and compete with the imperial officials and officials! " Several elders of the Five Poison Sect were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. How could they have never betrayed Lan Fenghuang? If the uncle became angry because of this, how could he bear it? He quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Imperial envoy, please calm down. We will definitely convey the imperial envoy's intention to the heads of various tribes, so that they can safely cooperate with the imperial system and not dare to offend in the slightest. As for the matter of Yangma City, we specially brought a representative of the Miao King today to discuss the plan with the imperial envoy. " Kneeling with the elders, there was a man of about thirty miles with a heroic appearance. When he saw Zheng Guobao looking at him, he kowtowed quickly, "Here I am, hero Xiamu, to pay homage to the distinguished imperial envoy. " Zheng Guobao first motioned him to sit down and talk, and then asked: "Who are you from Miao King Bai Tengjiao? Are you here today representing your wishes, King Miao's wishes, or Yang Yinglong's wishes? "Mu Yingxiong smiled, "My sister is the concubine of King Miao. I can also take charge within the clan. Coming here today is not only King Miao's wish, but also my wish, but not Yang Yinglong's wish. We Miao people have been friendly with Bozhou for generations. We sent troops to help just for the sake of friendship between friends. But it is not our original intention to go against the great imperial court. Over the years, conflicts between Han and Miao people have often been caused by language barriers, different customs, and various misunderstandings. King Miao ordered me to come here because he wanted to explain to the imperial envoy and hope that the imperial envoy would give us a chance to atone for our sins. As long as the imperial court is willing to recruit the Miao king, canonize him as the future governor of Bozhou, and promise to stop the return of native land, our tens of thousands of Miao soldiers will withdraw from the battlefield and strictly maintain neutrality. As a token of our gratitude, we will present ten measures of gold sand, one hundred leopard skins, forty logs, and ten stunning beauties from the tribe to the imperial envoy. " Zheng Guobao's face was as dark as water, and his tone was indifferent, "Is this the attitude of King Miao until now? Then tell King Miao for me that I reject everything he said. He can choose to fight to the end and then be exterminated by me. You can also choose to lead the sheep naked and surrender in my camp. As for the gifts he mentioned, when our army breaks into his cave, I can get these things myself. "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
