Chapter 115: Discussing Luchuan Six

Yang Rong looked at the sky and said: "Calculating the time, Mu Ang has already arrived in Yunnan. As long as the Mu family has a backbone, Yunnan will not be in chaos for a while. We still have time."

Yang Rong then took out the roster of the Southern Guards Station from the bookshelf behind him, and then took out the resumes of the officers of the Guards Station to see whether the person could fight based on his resume, and then based on the previous records of the Qing Army Censor.

Report and estimate the military capabilities of these people.

Efforts were made to gather together hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Luchuan without mobilizing the border troops and the Beijing camp.

As soon as Wang Ji saw this posture, he knew that he was staying up all night again. He could only accompany him.

After all, the resumes of these Imperial Guard officers are considered first-class secrets and are not accessible to ordinary people.

Tomorrow morning will be the time for discussion before the emperor. We can only make a framework before that.

Yang Rong's estimate of Mu Ang is good.

From Beijing to Kunming.

Mu Ang only had a few days before he arrived.

A dozen horses were killed along the way.

Even the guards around Mu Ang changed. Even so, when Mu Ang arrived in Kunming, he was completely out of shape. There were only two or three people guarding him, and the rest of the guards fell behind.

Mu Ang looked at the Duke of Guizhou's mansion, which was filled with white blood, and got off his horse. He had been galloping on the horse for a long time, but when he got off the horse, he couldn't stand. He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.

"Third Master." Immediately, a servant of the Mu family came to help him.

Mu Ang ranked third, and Mu Ying had four sons. The eldest son died young, the second son was Mu Sheng, the third son was Mu Ang, and the fourth son was Princess Changning's consort, who had been in Nanjing for a long time.

When Mu Ang opened his mouth, his voice was extremely hoarse and he said, "Second brother?"

"The master is still in the mourning hall," a servant said.

Without saying a word, Mu Ang rushed into the mourning hall, only to see that the room was full of white. When Mu Sheng's wife saw Mu Ang, she immediately felt relieved and said, "Third uncle."

Mu Ang slowly knelt down in front of Mu Sheng's memorial tablet and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry. With my little brother here, I can't be homesick."

With Mu Ang here, there is someone in charge of the Mu family.

Everyone in the Mu family felt at ease.

Mu Ang immediately took out the imperial edict among the generals and said: "According to the holy decree, I am appointed as the capital of Yunnan and the general of Pingman. Now can you tell me what is going on?"

"Why did my brother commit suicide?"

“To what extent has the situation in Yunnan collapsed?”

Mu Ang has always been in charge of the military power in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

He also spent time in Yunnan in his early years. He also understood the situation in Yunnan very well. However, he could not understand why Mu Sheng committed suicide.

The imperial court wanted to treat the Mu family favorably.

Just look at Mu Ying's three sons and you will know.

Mu Sheng succeeded Mu Chun and was in charge of Yunnan, Mu Ang was in Beijing, and another was in Nanjing. They all had military power and were located in strategic places.

"Third Master, once Fang Zheng was defeated, the west of the Nujiang River is no longer mine. Moreover, without waiting for Second Master's order, the chieftains from all over the country retreated. It seems that they have a secret conspiracy with the thinking thieves."

"Today the second master's funeral was held, and many chieftains looked gleaming, as if they had stepped into two different places."

"The imperial court must launch a large-scale conquest. The imperial court's prestige in Yunnan cannot tolerate another defeat."

Mu Ang was shocked and said, "How could this happen?"

The Mu family has always been good at caring for the chieftains, and its influence among the chieftains can be said to be the capital of the Mu family. Even when he was the last Duke of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo used this influence to win over many chieftains to stand forever.

Experience this side.

But this part of the business started with Mu Ying.

Muying carried out large-scale reclamation in Yunnan and spread the advanced agricultural technology from the Central Plains to Yunnan. Not only did Yunnan have more Han people, but it also allowed many ethnic minorities to make great progress in agriculture.

Even among the Han people in modern Yunnan, a considerable number of their ancestors immigrated in the early Ming Dynasty.

Generally speaking, the Mu family is kind to most Yunnan chieftains.

It's just that the favor of the two generations of the Mu family is too little to allow these chieftains to take sides between the homesick family and the imperial court.

Especially the toast that is close to homesickness.

For these chieftains, homesickness is too close and Ming Dynasty is too far away.

Once we clearly support the Ming Dynasty, we will immediately be hit by homesickness. Except for some chieftains in eastern Yunnan, no one dares to take sides.

When Mu Ying heard this, she suddenly felt dizzy.

There are countless Yungui toasts everywhere.

Nowadays, most of the chieftains in southern and western Yunnan are neutral, and even favor Lucchuan. The Ming army needs to defend in many directions.

Of course I know that there are a lot of chieftains here, but they are just cooperating with Lu Chuanxu.

But in war, there is no room for luck.

Mu Ang immediately felt Mu Sheng's mood.

Mu Sheng is naturally not as talented as Mu Ying, but he is also a diligent general. Especially when it comes to running Yunnan, Mu Sheng is not idle. He is laying a solid foundation bit by bit, and the most important foundation is,

It was to maintain the loyalty of these chieftains to the court.

Now, the two generations of the Mu family have been running the business and it has been destroyed in one fell swoop.

Mu Sheng may not be afraid of crime, but he can't face himself. Especially since the Luchuan Si family was Mu Ying's defeated general. When Si Renfa was young, he was still Mu Sheng's follower.

Mu Ang took a deep breath and said, "How many troops are needed to conquer Luchuan?"

"Twenty thousand. At least 120,000." The Mu family's staff discussed it and said.

Mu Ang said: "Immediately prepare a report to the court on my behalf and invite 120,000 troops."

"Yes." The people below immediately became busy.

"Report." The servant of the Mu family came in from outside and said, "The concierge is here to report, is the homesick person here?"

An old man with a long beard next to Mu Ang immediately asked: "Who is homesick?"

In fact, there is only one famous homesick person in Yunnan.

"Luchuan is homesick," the servant said.

Mu Ang was extremely angry and said: "How brave. He still dares to come."

A murderous intention surged in Mu Ang's heart, but he suppressed it immediately. After all, the overall situation was more important, and the Ming Dynasty's military strength in Yunnan was not enough to defeat Luchuan. Of course, Luchuan wanted to attack Han, but

It's also difficult.

After all, offense and defense are two different situations.

To attack Luchuan, there are many dangers and obstacles for Luchuan to use. After all, the natural dangers around the Nujiang River are not easy to navigate even in later generations. But after entering the interior of Yunnan, even though the military strength of Yunnan today is not too sufficient, who will win and who loses will still be determined.

have no idea.

Mu Ang met Homesick in the court.

The Homesick Messenger does not look like a native, but rather a bit bookish. He looks more like a Han than a native.

Mu Ang sneered and said, "What did Sirenfa ask you to do?"

The envoy from Luchuan said respectfully: "Hearing that the Duke of Guizhou has passed through the ages, the head of the family was deeply saddened and specially sent a young man to pay his respects and express his condolences."

Mu Ang's eyes narrowed slightly, and the anger in his heart became even stronger. However, he calmed down and said calmly: "I understand, but your family master is not just for this."

"Third Master is wise." The Luchuan envoy gave him a gentle pat on the butt and continued: "The master of the family sent the young man here to pay tribute to the imperial court. I, Luchuan, have never forgotten my love for the imperial court."

"There were many misunderstandings before, which led to the two sides fighting each other. It really shouldn't have happened. The head of my family is willing to return the bodies of General Fang and his soldiers, including more than a thousand corpses."

"And pay tribute to the imperial court. Wouldn't it be great if Luchuan and the imperial court are reconciled and Yunnan is stable?"

The Luchuan envoy then presented the gift list.

Mu Ang just glanced at it, but he saw that there were white elephants, ivory, gold, emeralds, etc., at least tens of thousands of taels. It can be seen that Sijia has spent a lot of money.

Mu Ang sneered and said, "What a big gesture."

Lucchuan and Daming had fought before, and Si Renfa was also a very sober person who knew the strength comparison between Lucchuan and Daming. For him, it was just right for the battle to end here.

He can safely digest the land he has occupied in the past few years. Only after digesting all these places will he have the strength to launch the next war.

Mu Ang could naturally guess Sirenfa's mentality. He wanted to kill the messenger in front of the court. But he couldn't.

Because this is not something Mu Ang can decide. This kind of power has always been in Beijing. No matter how dissatisfied Mu Ang is, he can only say: "I will report this matter to the court, you just wait."

The Luchuan envoy said: "Thank you, Third Master, of course there is the Mu family----."
