Chapter 111 Long live King Min?

Zhu Zhen is very smart. Since he no longer intends to trap and kill these 20 native troops, why should he say harsh words again?

His style is somewhat utilitarian. Either he will directly kill all of you rebels, or he will be tolerant and appease you like the Curie house before, and even promise you benefits.

So after killing those chieftains, Zhu Zhen even mobilized in public.

Zhu Ming had mobilized his troops before war more than once. He knew the importance of ideological work, and practice made perfect.

In front of the 20 native troops and the 12 own troops behind him, Zhu Zhen began to speak earnestly and seductively, lamenting the difficulties of the natives.

"I know you don't want to rebel, but you can't help it. You are just slaves of those damn chieftains. You call them natives, but in fact they are not even human beings."

"I heard that the land you planted obviously produced a lot of food, but most of it was left to the chieftains to dominate, and you didn't even have enough to eat."

"I heard that even if you marry a daughter-in-law, she is not your mother-in-law. You will have to bring trouble to the chieftain on the first night of your wedding. It is really unconscionable."

Zhu Zhen didn't know where he heard the gossip from, and he even told the rumors about Chu Yequan.

But not to mention, there are indeed some small tribal places, although they are not the first night rights, but there are domineering chieftains who directly take other people's wives as their own.

This also began to make the 20 people gradually become agitated from the initial indifference and silence.

Mu Ying and the others stood behind Zhu Ming, starting to get a little nervous.

What if the 20-strong army suddenly swarmed up and swamped Zhu Chu?
But Zhu Min didn't take it seriously at all and continued to shout: "Since I said, only the first culprits will be punished, you no longer belong to the criminals and criminals. You are still my subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and you are my leader Zhu Min." People. I, the vassal king, have not yet oppressed you, but those chieftains dare to oppress you? Do they have a higher status than me?"

"Since those chieftains are ungrateful and the imperial court has given them power. Not only do they enjoy privileges but they also lead you to rebel, then we simply don't have any more chieftains."

Mu Qiu looked at Zhu Xi with wide eyes, "Your Highness, you are a bit unkind with this tactic. We, the Mu family, are loyal and will not burn bridges like this."

Zhu Qi didn't notice Mu Qiu's expression and continued to yell.

In fact, Zhu Zhen had already thought about it. Since he did not plan to continue killing, these 20 people were not only a great threat, but would cause more unnecessary casualties to his own troops.

At the same time, once these people become Zhu Chu's subjects, this will be 20 resources.

Human heads can not only become Zhu Chu's force value, but as long as you become a citizen of Zhu Chu's territory, you can obtain a lot of resources every month.

His current territory is only Dali City, and there are only 30 people. These 20 people are not small.

In fact, Zhu Zhen had not noticed that his territory had begun to grow during this battle, and the number of its citizens had already exceeded 30.Let’s not mention these for now.

Zhu Chu's purpose at this time was very simple. He had only one idea, that is, to change his position and return to his current position.

Since it's useless to appease those chieftains, we simply don't want chieftains. Anyway, chieftains will rebel as long as they are powerful, so why do we still need a gross chieftain?

Simply, Zhu Ming wants to be the chieftain king himself.

For example, for the 20 people in front of him, Zhu Zhen told them bluntly: "I will let you go home later, and I will also give you travel expenses and food rations. If you have difficulties after going back, you can also tell me, and I will give you The conditions for having enough food and clothing.”

"And after there are no more chieftains, no one can oppress you anymore. You are the people who belong directly to the king and the court. I am the chieftain king of all of you. All you have to do is listen to me. Including the previous chieftains from I will return the food that you have taken away from me."

"I will give you land and clothes, so that you can have enough food and clothing, and even marry a mother-in-law and start a family in the future. I ask you, do you want to go back and continue to live like an animal, or do you want to follow me and live a good life? ?”

Zhu Chu raised his arms and shouted.The 20 people in front of them were quiet for a moment, and then suddenly burst into a huge response.

"Long live King Min."

A full 20 people roared, and every one of them knelt down to worship again.

Zhu Ming watched this scene with excitement in his heart. He knew that as long as he did not treat these natives badly or even harshly, he could conquer these 20 relatively strong troops.

Of course, their loyalty is not high yet.

Take your time. Winning people's hearts and doing ideological work are not done in one fell swoop.

Mu Ying was also deeply shocked. She stared at Zhu Ming's back, holding Chang Yang tightly in her hand. He was hesitating whether to hit it with a hammer?
Wang Fu was also moved. He tugged at the corner of Zhu Chu's clothes and said in a low voice and hastily: "Your Highness, you have overstepped your bounds. Do you want to rebel?"

Not to mention that in your capacity as a 'mere' vassal king, you secretly want to surrender these 20 troops, but can you afford the title of Long Live?

Originally, Zhu Cheng was suspected of overstepping his bounds, but he kept clamoring to kill these 20 people. Mu Ying and others did not want to cause unnecessary killings, and were also afraid of greater casualties on their own side, so they turned a blind eye. He closed his eyes and let Zhu Ji give a speech there, and in his capacity as the Min King and the vassal king, he would surrender the troops.

But if things continue like this, then Mu Ying will really have to defend her family and country.

It's just that Mu Ying's target is Zhu Chu's head.

Zhu Ming raised his eyebrows before he realized what he was doing and hurriedly asked someone to pass on the message.

Only then did the 20 people change their words: "His Royal Highness King Min is a thousand years old. We are willing to surrender and follow you until death."

Do you know what is most touching about Zhu Xi?

That is, he promised to give everyone enough food and clothing, and his promise to give everyone the opportunity to marry and afford a wife and start a successful life.

There is a saying that the history of Yunnan is basically the history of the Tujia family.

Even in the early years of the Republic of China, according to statistics, the Tujia family alone had [-] family lines with official positions conferred by the imperial court.

And there are many small tribes and villages, which are also chieftains, which is equivalent to changing the title of the village chief to chieftain.

In these chieftain tribes, the chieftain's right to speak is absolute, and he can kill or behead them as he pleases.

Let’s not talk about the Mu family. In Lijiang, the Mu family’s surname is very strict. Only direct descendants of the Mu family can be called the Mu family. The Mu family also has the surnames of the A family and the He family.

Even Xu Xiake's records said that the Mu family in Lijiang was respected, and there were only two other surnames: A's and He's.

Even if you are a Han Chinese who migrated to Lijiang in the later period, you still have to change your surname.

Although it is not as large-scale as the caste system, the power of the chieftain can still be seen.

What is this equivalent to?
This is equivalent to Zhu Chu liberating 20 slaves in public.

If this were in Rome, Spartacus wouldn't be around, and there wouldn't be anything going on with Spartacus.
