Chapter 206 Miao Village
After conquering Sichuan, will there be another war?

The answer is, of course, that he will continue to fight. Even if the imperial court does not fight, Chen Gu will continue to fight and will not stop for a moment.

It just depends on the scale of the battle and the location of the battlefield.

Chen Gu's next strategy was to adopt a defensive policy in the snow-covered areas in the northwest, Qinghai, and Shaanxi.

As for the two directions of the southeast, we will naturally adopt an offensive policy. In the south, we will continue to attack Guizhou. After defeating Guizhou, we will continue to send troops to Yunnan and Guangxi.

The Eastern side will go down the river until Yichang is captured, and then they will stop attacking and enter into a standoff with the imperial court.

It is impossible to stop the war. Firstly, Chen Gu needs to train his troops, and secondly, he also needs to use war to unite the entire Sichuan.

If there were no war, I am afraid that the officials would enter into a state of internal friction in the struggle for power and profit.

Of course, wars must be fought and local development is also necessary, and the first thing to do is to do a good job of legislation.

Representatives from various prefectures and counties in Sichuan arrived very quickly. After all, they were all under the jurisdiction of Chen the Eminent, so they had to come.

But the representatives of other ethnic minorities are a bit troublesome.

Going up along the Chishui River and entering the Renhuai Landmark Hall, walk west along the mountain road for 50 miles and you will reach a town called Baoyuan, which is the largest Miao settlement area near the Chishui River.

In order to increase momentum for the Legislative Assembly that circumvented Chen Kui, the Roadblock came to Baoyuan in person.

In order to show his sincerity, the stumbling block only brought more than a dozen people, but brought more than 30 horses, pulling various materials that were in short supply in the local area, such as salt and iron.

The roadblock did not reveal his official identity at the beginning. He only said that he was a traveling merchant who knew there was a huge Miao village here and came here specifically to do business.

"Tea, bacon, and felt cloth can all be exchanged for salt, iron, white sugar, brown sugar, and silver. The price is absolutely fair!"

In the Miao Village Square, the roadblock took out his goods for everyone to see and taste.

The Miao village lacks salt and iron, but silver is the Miao people's favorite decoration. Every generation of them collects silver to make various kinds of ornaments. After accumulating from generation to generation, they can put together a full set of silver ornaments, which can even weigh dozens of kilograms and be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It can be said that all the wealth of the Miao people at this time was spent on their silver jewelry.

After a while, several Miao warriors holding machetes appeared in the square. After coming to Block the Tiger and others and taking a look, the leader said to Block the Tiger, "Elders, please go to the main hall for tea!"

"Thank you!" The roadblock saluted with his fists, then followed the Miao warrior into the main hall of the Miao village with two soldiers.

The main hall is actually the ancestral hall, and is also used as a meeting hall.

"Thank you for coming from afar, dear guest. Bring us some butter tea!"

A thick coarse porcelain bowl was filled with a bowl of butter tea. It would be more appropriate to call it oil soup rather than tea.

There was a layer of rice flowers and thick grease floating on the bowl, and it seemed that no steam was coming out. However, Stumbling Block knew that the temperature of the oil soup was actually very high. The reason why no steam was coming out was that it was sealed by the thick oil soup.

If you take a deep sip, your mouth will be filled with bubbles.

However, this oil soup actually tastes quite good. It not only contains crispy rice flowers floating in the water, but also various sweet ingredients such as tea foam, peanuts, brown sugar, white sugar, sesame seeds, etc. The taste is very rich.

"Guests please!"

The roadblock smiled, picked up the large coarse porcelain bowl, blew on it and drank from it in small sips. Seeing that the roadblock did not make a fool of himself, the group of old men could not help but feel a little disappointed. One of them asked, "Where are you from, and what's your name?"

"I'm from Hejiang. Elder, you can just call me Guangsheng. My surname is Liu!" The stumbling block said his real name. After all, this place was remote, so he was not afraid to say his real name. Besides, Yunhua had already sent troops to Fengjie. After taking Fengjie, they would continue down the river to attack Yichang.

As long as they captured Yichang, these people who were originally boat trackers would no longer have to use flowery names.

"So you are the distinguished guest from Hejiang. I heard that Sichuan is fighting with Guizhou during this period. Sichuan has already fought along the Chishui River to Zunyi. Could you, Mr. Liu, tell me the specific situation for those of us who are isolated from the news?
It will also open our eyes!"

"Of course!" The roadblock nodded and said with a smile, "It is rumored that there is a man named Chen Kui in Jiangjin County under Hejiang."

"We know Jiangjin County. It's only about a day's journey from Hejiang. It's very close!"

"Don't interrupt, listen to the guest!"

"Jiangjin County is indeed quite close!" The roadblock nodded with a smile, and then said: "Chen Ju has a master, who is the descendant of Liu Tichun, a general under Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion.

Everyone should know that there was a blood feud between King Chuang and the imperial court. Although one or two hundred years have passed, the blood feud still continues. After all, after the imperial court occupied the world, it had been hunting down the Ming court and King Chuang's former subordinates.

By chance, Chen Gu and his master got a chance to take revenge. They intercepted and killed Chengdu General Addis!

Later, the imperial court retaliated against Chen Gu. Chen Gu's master lost his life due to the imperial court's conspiracy. Chen Gu then killed the second Chengdu general, Delentang, to avenge himself.

Afterwards, the imperial court sent Sichuan Governor Le Bao to lead an army of more than 10,000 to encircle and suppress Chen Gu, but in the end they were annihilated by Chen Gu. After that, Chen Gu simply rebelled against the imperial court.

So for the past six months, the whole of Sichuan has been at war. The Chishui River is an important waterway connecting Sichuan and Guizhou, so it also affected this area.”

"Who won the fight then?"

"Nonsense, the fighting has reached Guizhou. It must be that Chen the Assassin who defeated the imperial court."

"That's not certain. Maybe Chen Gui lost the battle and hid in Guizhou?"

"You want the court to win?"

"That's not it!"

"Liu Xiaoyou, who won?"

The roadblock smiled and said, "Of course Chen the Assassin won. The imperial court is not popular among the people. As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Chen the Assassin not only conquered the entire Sichuan, but also entered Guizhou in the south, Hanzhong in Shaanxi in the north, Dajianlu in the west, and is about to conquer the Three Gorges in the east!"

"That Chen Ju is very popular among the people?"

"Of course!" Roadblock said proudly, "When Chen Jue came out of retirement, he raised a banner and named it the Huaxia Department, and his department's declaration was the sixteen words of "people-oriented, equal distribution of land and low taxes, the emperor is under the law, and pioneering and enterprising".

Over the past six months, wherever the army passed, the people welcomed the king with food and drink. Now, Chongqing, the capital chosen by the Huaxia tribe, is preparing for the legislative assembly and inviting all the Chinese people to go to Chongqing to participate in the legislative assembly. "

“What is the Legislative Assembly?”

"It is a meeting held to determine the laws that China will use in the future. The Chinese Ministry means that the laws need to be followed by everyone, so naturally everyone must participate in determining them."
