Chapter 44 Lijiang Chieftain Mu De
Lijiang is not far from Dali, and Heqing County happens to be between the two cities.

So after passing through Heqing County, before evening that day, that is, around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Zhen led the army and finally arrived in Lijiang.

Facing the sudden army, the four city gates of Lijiang were all wide open.

Not only that, there was a group of distinguished people standing in a group outside the city, as if they were lining up to greet someone.

"It's here, it's finally here."

An old native (meaning local) took the initiative to greet the army with an excited look on his face.

Of course, the army soldiers would not let him get close easily.

"Who is that?" a soldier shouted, pointing a spear at the old man.

"I am Mu De, the chieftain of Lijiang, and I welcome His Highness King Min. Please report on my behalf." The old man announced his identity. It turned out that he was the prefect of Lijiang and the chieftain of the Mu clan.

The soldiers looked at each other, did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the central army to report.

When Zhu Zhen in the carriage got the news, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"What the hell? You said that the chieftain of the Mu family not only did not prepare an army, but even lined up outside the city to greet me?" Zhu Zhen was a little dumbfounded.

Because that’s not how the script was written.

"Your Highness, Chief Namute not only came to greet you in person, but also wanted to meet you in person. He also brought a whole family of children with him. Will you allow them to meet you?" The messenger told what he saw.

"He brought a whole family with him? Isn't he afraid that the king himself will lead an army to kill him first, and then conquer Lijiang?" Zhu Zhen was really confused.

Isn't that too arrogant?Or is it big-hearted?

He actually brought a whole family to die?

What's the difference between this and stretching your neck to wait for death?
"How about you meet him?" Wang Fu advised from the side.

Even Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "Actually, the Mu clan has always been loyal to our Ming Dynasty. Just a few years ago, he assisted Xiping Hou Muying to pacify Jingdong and Dingbian, and even His Majesty praised him greatly."

"Oh?" Zhu Ming raised his eyebrows. Since they all said that, he said, "Then let him come over and take a look."

"Yes."

The messenger immediately turned around and rushed to the front army. After a while, a group of soldiers came over surrounded by an old man.

These soldiers are neither escorting nor escorting, but are always vigilant. If the old man makes any change, he will be dismembered on the spot.

"Chen Mude, see His Highness King Min, you are a thousand years old, a thousand years old," Na Mude knelt down with a 'pop' sound from a long distance away, and even kowtowed while kneeling towards Zhu Chu's carriage. Forward.

Even Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded before he realized what was going on. He quickly opened the car door and shouted, "Oh, what's wrong with this? Please get up quickly."

This is the first time that someone has saluted in such a formal and large-scale manner since Zhu Chu became the king. Not even Mu Ying could do this.

Moreover, shouting long live to the emperor and shouting thousand live to the prince have actually been practiced since ancient times, even dating back to the Han Dynasty.

But I don’t know from which period, Long Live became the exclusive title of the emperor. If anyone dares to call Long Live in private, wouldn’t he be rebelling?

Zhu Zhen was very happy, as if he had forgotten his original purpose, he jumped out of the carriage and went to meet him, and helped Mu De himself.

Poor Mu was so old that he almost fell apart after a few struggles, and it was difficult to even stand up.But Mu De tried hard to open his dim old eyes and looked at Zhu Ming carefully. After a while, he said with tears streaming down his face: "Yundi finally looks forward to a new vassal, and the people of Yundi also have their own vassal."

He actually seemed very happy to have a vassal king in Yundi?

Zhu Ming always felt that there were many strange things in his heart. Could it be that he was really so loyal to the Ming Dynasty?
So what happened to the memorial before?It's impossible for Li Shuran to be the one who got in the way, right?
After all, the memorial was just what happened as recorded by Li Shuran. It had nothing to do with Dali in the first place. It was the relationship between Mu Ying and the old chieftain.

Because he had some doubts in his heart, Zhu Zhen did not make any noise or shout to kill, but continued to support Mu De, and said with a smile: "I have just arrived here, and I don't know much about things here. I heard that the Mu clan The management here is good, so I came to take a look, and I plan to learn from you by the way, so that I can manage the entire Yundi."

"The Mu clan?" Mu De scratched his head and whispered, "Your Highness, we are actually the A clan."

"Huh? Isn't it Mu's family?" Zhu Zhen asked blankly.

Mu De looked at Zhu Chu blankly and hesitated for a while before saying: "Your Highness, the old minister's real name is Ajia Ade. Because he has made some achievements, and thanks to His Majesty's grace, I took the first letter from His Majesty's last name. Yiheng gave the old minister the surname Mu. You don't know, right?"

It was Zhu Xi's turn to be embarrassed.

Because he really doesn't know.

The surname of Co-author Mu's Chieftain also has this origin.

It turned out that when Zhu Yuanzhang sent Fu Youde, Lan Yu and Mu Ying to defeat the Ming army to unify Yunnan, Mu De led his troops to surrender first.

At the same time, Mu De also followed Fu Youde to conquer Foguang Village, forcing Puyan Du, the prime minister of Yuan Dynasty, to self-immolate. Later, he ordered his eldest son A Chu to repel the invasion of Xifan chief Bu Que.

In the same year, Mu De continued to accompany the army to attack Beisheng Mansion, capture Gaosheng, the local chieftain of Yuan Ping Zhang, and lead troops to defeat Shimen Pass and Tiejiao City in the west of Lijiang.

Even though he is old now, he was still a fierce general back then.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he had made great contributions, so he appointed the hereditary native official magistrate of Lijiang Military and Civilian Mansion, and received the title of Zhongshun Dafu. He also gave him a golden flower belt engraved with the four words "Sincerity to Serve the Country" to show his reward for his achievements in unifying Yunnan.

Mu De once went to Beijing to pay tribute and pay homage to Zhu Yuanzhang.

No wonder Mu De was so enthusiastic, even so excited.

It's just that his enthusiasm was as if a fire had been extinguished by a pot of water. The old man and the young man stared at each other in embarrassment.

"Ahem, but since you are blessed by the Holy Grace, it's not bad for His Highness to call us the Mu clan. It's just that there are other clans in the city such as the He clan, so the old minister has an explanation." In the end, Mu De gave it to Zhu Ming. Find a step down.

"Ah hahaha, I'll just say it, right?" Zhu Zhen covered his embarrassment with laughter.

What is it?

"Your Highness, when I heard that you were coming, I had already ordered a banquet to be prepared. Please come into the city to have a rest," Mu De quickly and warmly invited Zhu Chu into the city.

"Oh? There shouldn't be an ambush of eight hundred swordsmen and axemen in the city, and they can chop me into pieces just by throwing a cup as a signal, right?" Zhu Ji asked with a pointed smile.

It seemed that he was still on guard against Mu De.

He was dumbfounded and said: "Your Highness, you have such a strong army here, not to mention the troops of Xiping Hou Muying who are guarding Yunnan now, not to mention how I dare to live up to His Majesty's grace."

The meaning is very clear, kill you as a vassal king?Zhu Yuanzhang is not dead yet. What if there is another war in Yunnan?
Unless Mu De really wanted to rebel, how could he possibly not dare to hurt Zhu Zhen.
