Ping An Biography

Luxi City has been occupied by a large number of Miao people. Ming envoy Geng Huaiyuan and others were taken to the road where they lived as a ceremony hall. They found that there were some women on the street besides Miao soldiers.It's fine for young women to show their heads in public, and it's not unusual in the mainland of Ming Dynasty. The problem is that some women actually wear pleated skirts that are shorter than the knees, and their bare legs are exposed in broad daylight. Feast your eyes.Geng Huaiyuan reprimanded sternly: "Do not despise evil, do not despise evil!"

A group of several people settled down in the ceremony hall next to the government office, waiting for the "Miao Wang" to be received.

There was a classmate of Geng Huaiyuan who was accompanying him, and the two of them were like-minded, although they were frustrated in the examination room, they were pretentious and thought they had a lot of knowledge.This classmate is called Zhao Xiang, he is even more unlucky than Geng Huaiyuan, he is just a boy, and he has not even tried to be a scholar; if it is not because he made friends with Geng Huaiyuan and then found a job, he probably can only farm at home.

There are so many students in the world, it is not easy to get in and out of Duke Daming.Even so, Zhao Xiang was still aggrieved for Geng Huaiyuan: "Mr. Cheng is courteous to corporals, but it's just a show. Otherwise, why would you ask Brother Geng to come to this kind of place in person?"

Although Geng Huaiyuan is usually arrogant, he is not an outspoken person. After hearing this, he hurriedly looked outside the house, and said in a deep voice: "It's fine for us brothers to talk about it in private. It's always wrong to tell people to talk about it in front of Cheng Guogong." Okay. Now what's wrong with this place?"

Zhao Xiang sighed: "Brother Geng was loyal to Duke Cheng, he turned a blind eye to it, and only let Brother Geng go out as an envoy to barbarians...Look at those people outside the door, with strange headdresses, jumping up and down with bare feet, even if we have all kinds of reasons, how can we deal with them?" Said?"

Geng Huaiyuan felt the same when he heard it, and when he sighed with his classmates, the two of them also tacitly felt a sense of superiority at the same time.

……

The Miao people are obviously not as barbaric as Zhao Xiang and others imagined. They also have a lot of ideas.Geng Huaiyuan first sent an official document, and before they met, a fierce dispute broke out among King Miao.After the old man and the leaders of various ministries interviewed the envoys, internal differences became even greater.

During the long dispute, Bai Fengjiao also gradually understood the intentions of the leaders.

The main conflict between the Miao people in Laer Mountain and the Ming court was that the court wanted to control the Miao people who ruled this area, educate them from "raw seedlings" to "ripe seedlings", and serve in the army and pay taxes.The method is to set up chieftain bureaus and guards within it, but contradictions intensify in the process, leading to armed confrontation.The old man and others originally wanted to destroy the government rule in Miaojiang, but what was unexpected was that the government stronghold in Miaojiang became vulnerable, so that the Miao soldiers quickly succeeded in raising troops, and took advantage of the situation to go out to loot|plunder; After the boundary of the state capital, because they won a large amount of property and couldn't control it, they continued to loot|plunder the state and counties, and tried to capture the capital city of Chenzhou many times.It wasn't until the officers and soldiers suddenly occupied Luxi that the leaders of the Miao people came to their senses; then they got the opportunity and hurriedly retreated to Luxi, ready to withdraw to Miaojiang at any time.

Their "strategic intention" is very simple, which is to strive for the autonomy of Miaojiang; and the self-interest of the leaders of various ministries is also very important, the needs of power and wealth.

The problem today is that although the official rule in the Miao territory has been destroyed, the Miao people have actually won the ruling power; but they will face retaliation and suppression by officers and soldiers at any time.That is to say, what has already been obtained may be lost at any time. What they want now is to keep the existing income, the land of Miaojiang; no one wants to stay in Chenzhou and rule the Han people.

Many leaders knew that they had looted|looted Chenzhou and committed a serious crime, which may have annoyed the government, and at the same time created a sense of fear.

Geng Huaiyuan brought a conciliatory attitude, Long Dachong and other leaders wanted to take this opportunity to negotiate peace with the government in order to obtain the government's recruitment and appeasement.

But some people think that things are not that simple, the court will not let it go so easily, and will settle accounts after the fall; the court government will deceive them, and then re-enter the Miao border, taking everything from them.If the dangerous terrain around Laer Mountain did not block the Ming army, the Miao people would most likely face an extinct massacre; this kind of thing has not happened since the Tang and Song Dynasties.

These patriarchs, who believed that Han officials could not be trusted, suggested helping the rebellious Han army to contain the official army. Anyway, it was passive resistance.

...Bai Fengjiao finally understood that "Father King" and those patriarchs never really wanted to improve their relationship with Zhang Ning and other Han people.

She likes the cultural clothing and etiquette of the Han people, but it doesn't mean that the Miao patriarch is interested in them.Therefore, a marriage may not be possible... She suddenly realized that although she was usually free and others followed her, she was actually inside an insurmountable wall.

Then, will the private promise to Zhang Ning as an envoy before become "broken" because of the change of decision-making of the patriarchs?

Bai Fengjiao couldn't help feeling very ashamed, at this moment, Bai Yu suddenly ran in excitedly, looked around, then smiled and said: "Just now I heard the news from Erman that Zhu Ning came to Luxi to meet the king .”

"What?" Bai Fengjiao asked hastily, "He's already here?"

Bai Yu said: "I have been arranged to live in a house on the east side, maybe the king is worried that he will meet an envoy from the government in the residence."

Bai Fengjiao thought to herself: At the time when the official army occupied Luxi, the Miao army who invaded the Chenzhou prefecture was almost doomed. The Suzaku army restrained the official army, so we survived by chance. If you want to come to Zhu Ning, you have nothing to do to the Miao people. ; Now that he has come to the Luxi League, will he be killed because the leaders want to be recruited by the court?

She was a little messed up, except that she always felt sorry for Zhang Ning; she couldn't help feeling a lot of sympathy for him.She remembered Zhang Ning's words when watching the flag raising in the Suzaku army, the whole world regards us as sinners...

This person has really been abandoned by everyone, and even the Miao people, whom he regards as allies, may betray him.

"Do you know where he was settled?" Bai Fengjiao asked her close servant Bai Yu after thinking about it, "You take me to meet him..." She then explained, "We have been treated very well by Zhu Ning, and now He is here, so naturally we should reciprocate and walk around."

"When will Miss come over?" Bai Yan looked her at her clothes up and down.

Bai Fengjiao said anxiously: "Go now."
