Chapter 229 Don’t treat it inappropriately

Luxi City has been occupied by a large number of Miao people. Ming Cang Geng Huaiyuan and others were taken to the residence of the ritual hall and found that in addition to the Miao soldiers, there were some women on the street.

It would be fine if a young woman showed up in public, but it was not surprising in the mainland of Ming Dynasty. The problem was that a woman was wearing a knee-length pleated skirt with bare legs exposed in broad daylight. Geng Huaiyuan's follower whispered to contempt the barbarian while feasting his eyes.

Geng Huaiyuan scolded seriously: Don’t look at what is wrong, don’t look at what is wrong!

A group of people settled in the ceremony hall next to the government office, waiting for the reception of King Miao.

There was a person accompanying him who was Geng Huaiyuan's classmate. The two of them had similar scent. Although they were frustrated in the imperial examination, they were pretentious and consciously full of knowledge.

This classmate is named Zhao Xiang. He is even worse than Geng Huaiyuan. He is just a child and has never even tried a scholar. If it weren't for making friends with Geng Huaiyuan and having sex with him, he would probably have to farm at home.

There are so many students in the world, it is not easy to get in and out of the Duke of the Ming Dynasty.

Even so, Zhao Xiang was still unfair to Geng Huaiyuan: Cheng Guo Gong treated wise men and nobles, but he was just pretending. Otherwise, how could he ask Brother Geng to come to such a place in person?

Although Geng Huaiyuan is usually arrogant, he is not a person who speaks without restraint. After hearing this, he hurriedly looked out of the door of the house and said in a deep voice: It’s just that we brothers can just say this in private. It’s always bad to ask people to talk about it in front of Duke Cheng.Besides, what's wrong with this place?

Zhao Xiang sighed: Brother Geng is loyal to Duke Cheng, but he turned a blind eye to him and only asked Brother Geng to serve as a barbarian... Look at the people outside the door, their headdresses are strange and they jump up and down barefoot. Even if we have all kinds of reasons, how can we tell him?

Geng Huaiyuan felt deeply the same when he heard this. When he sighed with his classmates, the two of them also felt a sense of superiority at the same time in tacit understanding.

……

The Miao people were obviously not as barbaric as Zhao Xiang and others imagined, and they also had many ideas.

Geng Huaiyuan first sent a document, but before he met, there was a fierce dispute within King Miao.

After the interview with the old man and the leaders of various departments and the Ming envoys, the internal differences became even greater.

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

The main contradiction between the Miao people in Larshan and the Ming court was that the court wanted to control the Miao people who ruled this area, educate them from growing seedlings to mature seedlings, and serve as taxes.

The method is to set up military forces of the chieftain office and the garrison within it, but the contradictions in the process intensified, leading to a forceful confrontation.

The old man and others originally wanted to destroy the government rule in Miaojiang. Unexpectedly, the government strongholds in Miaojiang became vulnerable, so the Miao soldiers quickly rose up and took advantage of the situation to go out of the mountain to rob. After entering the boundary of Chenzhou Prefecture, they could not control it because they had seized a large amount of property and continued to rob the prefectures and counties, and tried to capture Chenzhou Prefecture many times.

It was not until the official army suddenly occupied Luxi that the leaders of the Miao people woke up; later they had the opportunity to retreat to Luxi and were ready to withdraw to Miaojiang at any time.

Their strategic intention is very simple, which is to strive for Miao and Xinjiang autonomy; and the selfish interests of leaders of each department are also very important, with power and wealth needs.

The problem now is that although it destroyed the government rule in Miao Xinjiang and actually seized the rule of the Miao people, it would face revenge and suppression from officers and soldiers at any time.

In other words, what they have obtained may be lost at any time. What they want now is to preserve their existing income and the land of Miaojiang; no one is too ambitious to stay in Chenzhou to rule the Han people.

Many leaders knew that they had looted Chenzhou and committed serious crimes, which might annoy the government and also felt a sense of fear.

Geng Huaiyuan brought a reconciliation attitude, and some leaders such as Long Dazhong wanted to take this opportunity to negotiate with the government to obtain reunion and comfort from the government.

But others think that things are not that simple, and the court will not give up so easily, and will settle accounts after the fall; the court officials will deceive them, and then re-enter Miaojiang and take everything from them.

If the dangerous terrain around Laer Mountain did not block the Ming Dynasty's army, the Miao people would most likely face extinct massacre; this kind of thing has happened since the Tang and Song dynasties.

These patriarchs who believed that Han officials were not trusted suggested that the Han army that rebeled against the court restrain the official army. Anyway, it was passive resistance. It was better to be able to stop it every day than to fight the official army in the mountains and forests of Miaojiang immediately.

...Bai Fengjiao finally understood that her father and the clan leader had never really wanted to improve their relationship with the Han people such as Zhang Ning. They showed goodwill many times but used the Suzaku Army.

She likes the cultural and costumes of the Han people, but it does not mean that the Miao tribe leader is interested in them.

Therefore, marriage is unlikely to be possible...

She suddenly realized that although she was usually free and others followed her, she was actually in an insurmountable wall.

So will the matter that I had promised Zhang Ning as an envoy who had made no promises because of the changes in the decisions of the patriarchs?

Bai Fengjiao couldn't help feeling very ashamed. At this moment, Bai Mei suddenly ran in excitedly, looked around, and smiled: I heard Erman say something about it just now that Zhu Ning came to Lu Xi to meet the king.

What?Bai Fengjiao asked hurriedly, he has arrived?

Bai Gun said: He was arranged to live in a house in the east. Perhaps the king was worried that he would meet an envoy from the government in the tent.

Bai Fengjiao thought to herself: When the official army occupied Luxi, the Miao army that invaded Chenzhou Prefecture was almost in a catastrophe. The Zhuque army restrained the official army, which made us lucky. I think Zhu Ning had no place to be sorry to the Miao people; now he came to Luxi to discuss the alliance, would he be killed because the leaders wanted to be invited by the court?

She felt a little confused. In addition to always feeling sorry for Zhang Ning, she couldn't help but feel a lot of sympathy for him.

She remembered Zhang Ning's words when she watched the flag-raising in the Vermillion Bird Army, and the whole world regards us as sinners...

This person was really abandoned by everyone, and even the Miao people who were regarded as an ally by him might betray him.

Do you know where he was settled?

Bai Fengjiao asked her nearby servant Bai Gui, take me to see him... She then explained that we were treated well in Zhu Ning, and now that he is here, he should naturally be respectful and walk around.

When will the lady pass?Bai Meng looked up and down her clothes.

Bai Fengjiao said anxiously: Let’s go now.
