[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

Mu Bai and the others are currently in the central area of ​​Uzaru.

There are many mountains and plateaus in Uzarus, and the stone is hard, so it is really not easy to open the road.

Therefore, under the long-term stocking system of the Yuan Dynasty, there were only two main passages in Usa Road, one was along the Wumeng Mountains running north-south, and was built successively by the Tu people and the government along the way, and the other was the Sancha River and Gulong. The river is a waterway formed by two east-west rivers, one from the south and the other from the north, connecting Uzarus with Guizhou next door.

And the road that everyone is stepping on is the intersection of the northern land route and the water route. Obviously, the purpose of this large army in front of us is to leave Uzzah by water.

In any era, it is not easy for the people to leave the place of residence. Since the pre-Qin period, there have been regulations that people stay at home for the people, and if they leave the place without issuing a guide, it is a "flow".

If there is no fixed place to live, no land to cultivate and no formal property income during the wandering process, it is a "rogue".

There is only one reason for the common people to abandon their ancestral home and property and leave their homes - natural disasters.

The decomposition of the Chinese characters of the word "Mang" shows the seriousness of this state. "Mang", that is, dead people, if they are not facing death, ordinary people will not leave their homes to fight for a chance of life.

Therefore, in any dynasty, once refugees appear, they will attract the attention of the local government.If there were no natural disasters but there were refugees, it would be a slap in the face of the emperor, because it represented a "man-made disaster".

In the feudal dynasty, there will be "man-made disasters" basically because the king is not strict or corrupt officials are appointed.

Regardless of whether it is a refugee or a hooligan, it will inevitably have a huge impact on social stability. If it is not well controlled, it will cause civil uprisings, ranging from injury to the muscles and bones, and developing into an insurgent army, and even a change of dynasty. .

Therefore, no matter at any time, this kind of group migration is strictly prohibited.

Of course, such group relocation may also be an administrative order of the government.Because of the gap between the rich and the poor, the number of residents, land distribution, etc., the dynasty occasionally mobilized the people to carry out large-scale migrations, bringing the population from areas with a lot of people and little land to places with a lot of land and few people.

But no matter from the complexion and mental outlook of these people, or from the number of luggage they carried, they did not look like they were in exile due to natural disasters.

And so far, there is no decree from the Ming emperor about the migration of the people.

Furthermore, if it is necessary to relocate, then only foreigners will move to Yunnan, and there is absolutely no reason for Yunnanese to move outside.

In summary, the identities of these people are ready to be revealed.

Qi Xiang, who was standing at the front of the line, slowly pushed out the handle of the knife with his hand holding the knife, and the people of the Tu nationality on the opposite side also clenched their self-defense weapons.Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense, Mu Baice immediately stepped forward and began to communicate with the other party in the local language.

Fortunately, although some words of the two sides are different, the overall word order is the same, and they can barely communicate.

After a few words, Mu Bai turned his head and said to the non-local officials behind him: "They said that they are members of the Luoluo tribe in Wumeng Mountain, and their family relocation is to go to the tribe of the Luoluo tribe in Shuixi, Guizhou to merge the tribes. , This trip has an order issued by the leader of the Uzzatu tribe, and it is not a private action."

Hearing this, Qi Xiang frowned even tighter.As a fierce man who fought all the way from the founding of the country, he was already dissatisfied with the autonomy of the local Tu people in Yunnan, and he was even more unhappy when he heard that the Usa Tu people here actually pushed the population in their jurisdiction to other places.

But procedurally speaking, the behavior of these people is indeed legal.So, even though he wanted to find fault very much, Qi Xiang endured it.

After the other party showed the decree filled with ghostly symbols, Qi Xiang, the highest official here, made a "please" gesture.However, both sides give in and out, and no one is willing to go first.

——Just kidding, the person who goes first will inevitably show his back to the other party. In the situation where the two sides have just fought, who would dare to trust the other party.

But we can't stay like this forever.In the end, it was the people of the Uzaroro tribe who couldn't hold on. A man who looked like a leader bowed slightly to the Ming army, and then led the tribe a step ahead.

In the process of moving, the people of the Luoluo tribe turned their heads to look at this group of vigorous Ming troops from time to time, and their expressions gradually changed from cautious to puzzled.After the distance between the two sides gradually widened, Mu Bai could see the inconceivable gazes they cast, as if he was wondering why the Ming army really didn't catch up.

When the tribe migrates, all the property must be taken away together. The wealth and assets are clear at a glance, and anyone who sees it wants to get a share.

If it was in the former dynasty, the soldiers of the Yuan army would definitely take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.In the later period, some soldiers of the Yuan army even deliberately blackmailed them in the name of supervision when the Tu tribes migrated.

So, just let it go?

Staring at the eyes full of various meanings that floated over from the opposite side, Qi Xiang felt his back was a little hairy, he glared back viciously, then spit lightly and led the troops to move on.

This incident was originally just a small episode on the way forward, but it gradually changed in the later stage.

Because they later encountered three batches of native tribes who intended to move to Shuixi, Guizhou, and some even rushed on the road overnight holding torches.

Encountering such a large army in the middle of the night, both sides were taken aback, and once they almost fought directly.

The expressions of Qi Xiang and the others gradually turned serious. The people they met on the road totaled at least three thousand people. It is true that the native tribes sometimes merged, but so many people were all at the same time. It is not normal to travel thousands of miles to join a tribe outside a province.

"Shuixi...could it be the Aicui tribe." Mu Chun murmured after being separated from the Tu tribe he bumped into again, "But, it doesn't make sense."

"A Chun?"

Seeing Mubai's puzzled face, Mu Chun explained: "The leader of the Aicui Department is the Guizhou Propaganda Envoy personally appointed by His Majesty. Before the army attacked Yunnan, they borrowed from other places and got food from him and suitable for fighting in the mountains. His wife Shexiang also came forward to persuade Mangbu and Usatu Chieftain not to help the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty."

"Because of his meritorious service in helping the Ming Dynasty, I heard that in February of this year, His Majesty Aicui was summoned in person and given treasures, clothes and hats. He should return soon."

Just did something to please Daming and got a reward, and then turned around and swung a hoe to dig the corners of Yunnan?If this is true, then the situation is very delicate.To put it seriously, this is to use Emperor Hongwu's knife to cut up the tofu and bring it back to his home.

To put it bluntly, this is no different from provocation.

However, Emperor Hongwu had just praised him, so he definitely couldn't turn his face immediately.What should I do if I become the emperor's nest fire?The unlucky ones are of course the local Yunnan officials.

Who made you look down on people?

In the farming era, the population is the greatest wealth. Without people, agricultural production cannot be carried out, and a country without agricultural production has no taxation.

Although the Tu people are not exempt from taxes, their taxation is lower than that of ordinary people in order to appease them. In addition, the Tu people can often exchange agricultural products for rewards. Generally speaking, the country does not get as much benefit from them as ordinary people. .

In addition, the Tu people are still an unstable factor in the local area, and the state has to invest additional monitoring costs on them...

At this moment, both Qi Xiang and Mu Chun's expressions turned solemn.

Mu Bai looked at the two of them left and right, and after pondering for a moment, comforted him: "It may not be that serious, I heard you say that Aicui and his wife are smart people, and they should not do such a thing."

"I don't know what's going on in Shuixi, but the population of the Luoluo tribe in Mangbu is only 3000, and they still live in separate villages. Even if Shuixi wants to accommodate the population, they don't want to annex so many people at once."

Now they have seen more than a thousand people, and more than one-third of the population of other tribes who joined the tribe at one time still seem to be a healthy tribe with a complete internal structure that has not undergone major blows, unless the chief of the Shuixi tribe thinks of his own life It's too easy, if you want to have a political fight for fun, otherwise you're crazy.

"You mean...they acted spontaneously?" Qi Xiang frowned, "It's not appropriate to leave a good earth emperor, and run to be someone else's younger brother. Is this because your head was kicked by a donkey?"

Mu Chun's complexion changed, he has a long-term experience in the political center, and he has an extremely keen sense of smell in this area: "I'm afraid this is the local Tu people's blow to Daming, and it is also a test."

The young man turned his head to look at Qi Xiang, and said sternly: "This matter needs to be reported quickly, and a bad one may arouse public anger. Qi Baihu, please escort Ah Bai, I will go ahead and report this matter to General Mu. "

Mu Chun's father, Mu Ying, is guarding Usa at the moment. Although he is not an administrative official here, if there is a problem with the Tu people on Usa's side, Mu Ying, who is the leader of the military force here, will inevitably be held accountable.

"Wait a minute, Mu Xiaolang—" After all, Qi Xiang was also a fierce general who joined Emperor Hongwu's army. Although he didn't understand it at first, he probably knew when he heard Mu Chun's words that it would cause public anger.

He suddenly looked serious, and ordered three teams to come out to follow Mu Chun: "This place is still some distance from the military camp. If the local chieftains have plans, I am afraid that some people will be left to intercept the information. Let's take some people to be safe."

Mu Chun glanced at the people Qi Xiang pointed out, seeing that all three were cavalry troops, he did not refuse.He gave a military salute to Qi Xiang, and gave Mu Bai an apologetic look.

After receiving a smile from his friend, he fist-bumped Mu Bai, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and left with 30 people on horseback.

At the same time, Qi Xiang also sent a small team to Kunming to pass the news to Fu Youde so that he could prepare early.

After that, it's up to the boss to think about it.But after this incident, the pace of Mu Bai and Qi Xiang rushing to Mangbu Road inevitably became hurried.

As soon as they entered Mangbu Road, Mu Bai and others collided with several large troops marching in groups. Compared with Usa, Mangbu Road is adjacent to the Shuixi tribe in Guizhou, and the terrain is also flatter. It's no surprise that more people leave here.

It is impossible for so many people to move without disturbing the government. Although these Tu tribes wanted to avoid the city, they were stopped by local officials and registered their information one by one.

When Mubai arrived, the time when the local Tu people and the officials were confronting each other, one side said that we are under the rule of the Tu officials, and we don’t need to show the documents to the government, while the other side said that we are the Ming army, and now His Majesty of the Ming Dynasty has not entrusted you as Tu. Officer, you are still ordinary people, under our control, it is no problem to leave, but you must leave a message.

The approach of Mu Bai and his party immediately attracted the attention of both sides.

Mu Bai, who was targeted by the murderous intent of both sides, hurriedly handed over his documents to the little official who was squinting and looking at them suspiciously.Hearing that he said that he was going home to take part in the scientific examination, the clerk looked a little relaxed, and let him go directly after the information was checked and there was no problem.

However, Mu Bai, who took the paperwork, hesitated for a moment. He glanced at the two parties who were still arguing, and found that the two parties had started arguing again.

The local dialect of the minor official of the Ming army should be learned now, and he did not speak when he stumbled, and his tone was still stiff, which obviously angered the Tu people who were blocked.A few Tu people in expensive clothes immediately mocked, meaning that even if I am registered, can you understand my name?

The Ming army had few people, but they were all in armor, and their weapons were gleaming with cold light, full of murderous aura.

The Tu people didn't seem to take out weapons, but the farm tools in their hands were not low in lethality. Mu Bai felt that the distance between the two people was a little bit close to fighting.

Once one party fails to restrain itself, it may be a war based on ethnic groups.

He narrowed his eyes, approached Qi Xiang and said a few words.

Qi Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Mu Bai turned around and put the basket down, patted his younger brother's head, "Awen, you go home with Qi Baihu first, brother is here to help."

At this time, Mu Wen looked like he had just woken up, his round eyes were half closed, and there was still some water vapor.As soon as he heard his elder brother say that he wanted to separate, the child immediately opened his eyes. He stood up in the basket, leaned forward to look around, and immediately grabbed Mu Bai's hand: "Wen'er, don't let me go first!" Go back, Wen'er can help brother."

The younger brother's reaction was not what Mu Bai expected, but Mu Xiaobai who predicted his younger brother's reaction had already thought of a solution.

I saw him squatting down, so that he and his brother's eyes were at the same height...well, even a little shorter.Mu Bai put his shoulders on Xiaodouding's shoulders with a serious face, and said seriously: "Wen'er, you will have a mission after you go back. There are so many people here, brother may not be able to handle it by himself. After you go back, discuss the matter with the village chief. Tell me, ask him to send a few people who can speak Chinese to help."

Mu Wen's small mouth narrowed, a little unwilling.Then Mu Bai increased the balance in the child's heart: "Brother, I can only leave this matter to Wen'er, and I believe that Wen'er can do it."

The kid gasped, his little face flushed with excitement at being suddenly entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, he stomped on his feet, raised his head, and said, "Well, Wen'er wants to bang bang!"

... Where did this strange modal particle come from?

The corner of Mu Bai's mouth twitched, and he pinched the tip of the kid's nose, but still followed his younger brother's request and kissed him on both cheeks, which made Mu Wen willingly lay on Qi Xiang's back.

"Is it okay? Do you want me to keep a few people?" Qi Xiang adjusted the position of the lower armor, and asked Mu Bai who had already started to roll up his sleeves while adapting to the weight on his back.

"No need." Mu Bai fixed the sleeve with a rope, took out the pen and paper he carried with him and walked towards the little official, he waved at Qi Xiang, "Qi Baihu, hurry up, I'm not a child anymore, I know what's in my heart."

The corner of Qi Xiang's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Mu Bai who was going to communicate with the little official. This small body didn't even reach his chest, and the deciduous teeth hadn't been replaced yet, and he said that he was not a child.

According to his standards, what is he?Old man?

While complaining in his heart, Qi Xiang suddenly felt that his tied hair was pulled, and when he turned his head, the little ancestor in the back basket was staring at him with the same round eyes as the boy: "Uncle, quick duck, Wen'er There is an important task!"

All right, all right, one and two are uncles.But don't say it, these two children really look good at Mianshan, just because of this, Qi Xiang will always feel a little soft-hearted unconsciously.

The young general clenched his fists at the petty officials over there and got on his horse.He has been a horseman for many years, and his riding skills are much better than that of Mu Bai, who is not practiced. He loves horses and has been with him for many years, and they cooperate very tacitly.

Therefore, the horse began to gallop from the moment he stepped on the stirrup, and by the time he sat down firmly, the horse had already jumped out.

This handsome action of mounting the horse immediately made Mu Wen, who was sitting in the back basket, grow a small mouth, and a series of sounds of children acting like a baby and wanting to learn how to ride a horse were left in the air with the galloping horseshoes.

Mubai: ...

Brother, you can still ride a horse with your short legs, you can't even ride a wooden horse.

Mu Bai glanced at the short-legged horse specially prepared for him by his adoptive father, and shed tears of sadness.

He, he used to have two long legs, but now that he has cut the number again, he always feels that the growth rate of this body is a bit worrying.
