In mid-December, as the New Year approached, people all over the world were busy buying New Year's goods and celebrating a peaceful year.However, in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, the people of Daming are still working and preparing to work for a few days.In Yongchang Mansion, Yunnan, in the territory of the Lujiang Pacification Division, thousands of local people, under the leadership of the Tusi, are repairing the official roads in the mountains.In the Ming Dynasty, especially in the southeast, Tusi had a strong independence and generally did not obey the orders of the government.However, a few years ago, after Sun Kewang retreated from Sichuan to Yunnan-Guizhou, he cleaned up the Tusi and promulgated some policies, so that the Tusi gradually lost its independence.It is said that after the Qing Dynasty, it ruled the southwest, and it also followed Sun Kewang's set.Three years ago, in order to attack Sichuan, the Ming Dynasty started a road construction campaign in Yunnan and Guizhou, but at that time, it was mainly to build a road connecting Huguang and Liangguang to Guizhou.The road construction campaign, which began at the beginning of the year, is mainly to connect the roads to Yunnan.Yongchang Mansion, located in the west of Dali Mansion, is already in the border area, before the road was built, how can not be repaired here, but this time the imperial court has spent a lot of effort, not only to repair the road to the border, but also to build the road wide, so that the war horse gallops, the carriage transport.An important factor for toast to maintain its independence is the inconvenience of transportation.Only when the roads are impassable, keep them closed, artificially create a few enemies, tell the people that it is not safe outside, the Han people oppress us, and other villages attack us, can the leaders of the people of the people leave the people on the mountains and rule for themselves.If the official roads were built into their territory, it would be easy for the imperial army to drive in, and the natives would be easily influenced by the Han Chinese.Advanced civilizations are naturally attractive to backward civilizations.If the local people saw the life of the Han people in the city, they would not be willing to live a hard life in the mountains, so Tusi actually had a certain rejection of the Ming Dynasty to overhaul the official road.When Yongchang Mansion announced that it was going to build an official road, most of the dozens of local people in the territory were opposed, but as the government took out the road repair money and put it on the table, the attitude of the Tusi was divided, and finally they rushed to be the contractor and started the government's project.Being the leader of the natives in the mountains, like the emperor of the soil, is really majestic, but the life is really hard, and the material conditions are not as good as a small landlord of the Han people.At present, it is difficult for the Tusi to maintain their independence in the face of the powerful Ming Dynasty government, and they themselves yearn for the life of the Han people and rich people in the city, but they do not have the conditions to move to the city to buy property.Now the money from the government for the project is enough for them to buy a house in the city even if they are not the leaders of the natives, and when they become the landlords of the land, everyone's attitude is immediately shaken.Some of the leaders who were close to the capital city, could not avoid being influenced by the Han people, and did not plan to claim hegemony in the village, took the lead in taking over the projects in the territory, and also planned to take over the projects in the territory of other leaders, so that the local people could not share the same hatred, and could only compete with each other to win the road projects in their respective territories.Over the course of a year, according to the construction of the road, the government gave money to the head of the local people, and then the head person distributed it to the local people who participated in the construction of the road.At this time, the large number of native people, for many leaders, was almost equal to free labor.In the cottage, these laborers cannot play a valuable role, but after taking over the project, the labor can create great wealth for the leaders.When the first project money fell into the hands of the head, the leader's position immediately changed, and they became blood-sucking contractors, squeezing the local people under him to build roads, and now there is no intention to stop when the Chinese New Year is approaching.On the 25th, in the early hours of the morning, on the official road connecting Dali and Yongchang, several dim lanterns were hung in the shed area.Mosquitoes puffed on the lampshade, and in the tent, the natives who had been tired all day were sleeping soundly, and there was nothing unusual in them.This section of the official road, connecting Mengmi Xuanfusi and Kunming, has been basically completed, and most of the local people have returned to the village, leaving only a few people, still guarding the construction site, guarding the equipment.The natives learned from the head that after the road was completed, they still needed to go to Mengmi to repair the road, and they had to build the road to the south of the sea, and the road construction equipment had to be used behind it, so they kept it to guard it, so as not to transport it back to the mountains.At this moment, there was a howl of wild beasts in the night, and around the campfire, several sentry natives raised their heads and looked, and continued to sleep by the chariot.When the Ming Dynasty was strong, the southwest of Yongchang Mansion, known as 800 Tusi, were all subordinated to the Ming Dynasty.Today, Meng Mi, Meng Lian, Ganya, Longchuan and several other Xuanfu Divisions are all in the civil strife of the Ming Dynasty and have been eaten away by Donghu.The Ming Dynasty built roads in Yunnan, and the official roads were built to the border, and the Donghu Kingdom had long been vigilant and protested, demanding that the Ming Dynasty stop building roads on the border.The southwest was remote for the Ming Dynasty and was unwilling to cause more trouble, an important reason was that the roads were impassable, difficult to control, and it was not cost-effective to fight.Now that the Ming Dynasty has built the highway to the border, it is equivalent to the army marching into the southwest, which is not as difficult as before.This is a huge threat to Donggu.At this time, in the dense forest, a group of Donghu soldiers lurked in the darkness.After a premonition that the Ming Dynasty was about to launch an attack on Donghu, the king of Donghu was very frightened and wanted to find a solution, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would change its mind and stop building roads on the border, but in the end it all ended in failure.Just as the day of the king of Donghu was approaching day by day, the nearby Great Zhou sent an envoy and brought a covenant to resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty.In November, Donghu signed an alliance with Zhou, and in early December, Zhou's ally, the British, joined the alliance, and Donghu exchanged the support of Zhou and Britain for the domestic market, tariffs, and judicial autonomy.This covenant was far more stringent than joining the new tributary system of the Ming Dynasty, but at this time, Donghu was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he couldn't manage so much, and soon reached an alliance with Zhou and Ying.With the support of the Great Zhou Empire and the British, Donghu's courage immediately became stronger.At the instigation of the Zhou State and the British, the king of Donghu decided that instead of waiting for the Ming Dynasty to repair the road and launch an attack on Donghu, it was better to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's lack of preparation and strike first to destroy the road built by the Ming Dynasty.At this time, under the cover of night, more than 100 Donghu soldiers touched the outside of the Tumin camp.With a wave of his hand, several arrows smeared with huge poison shot out, and the sentry villagers instantly covered their throats and fell to the ground.At this time, the officer immediately raised his knife and shouted, "Kill them all, cut the road." ”A large group of Donghu soldiers, carrying torches, rushed out of the woods, slaughtered into the camp camp, cut down the people who had left the camp in a panic, set fire to the tents, and the flames rose into the sky.()
