Chapter 284 Song and Dance Conference (1)

The Jinyiwei naturally does not have any magic tricks, and Zhu Youcheng just takes the damage of noise to the human body to the extreme.↖

The cave originally had the function of closing the sound, and the volume of hundreds of people singing loudly in the same voice was already terrifying. In addition, those people were super loud voices carefully selected by the Jinyiwei, so the horror of this noise can be imagined.

Some rebels could not bear the harassment of the noise and jumped out to fight the Ming army to the death. However, the Ming army had been on high alert, and the rebels' desperate conspiracy failed, and their life-sending actions were smooth.

After seeing that the rebels' attacks, Zhu Youcheng had no movement anymore. Knowing that they should be powerless to counterattack, he asked the combat soldiers to explore the situation ahead, and the singing troops slowly took them on.

The enemy situation ahead was complicated. Although Zhu Youcheng and King Xin were in a strong mood, they were not convenient to follow, so they took the generals out of the chicken hole.

As soon as they left the cave, Zhu Youcheng saw the sun setting west. It turned out that they had spent two and a half hours in the cave.

Smoke had already floated in the camp, and the strong aroma of the food made everyone greedy.

Zhu Youcheng then remembered that they seemed to have not had lunch yet. There was no way, so they had to solve the problem with lunch and supper.

Just as the food was so delicious, the guard brought a hundred households in. He was the guard on duty today.

The hundred households saluted the generals and said to Zhu Youcheng: "Report to Lord Zhu, countless people dressed in the costumes appeared from all directions, including both barbarians and Miao people. I don't know what to do with them, so please tell me."

King Xin jumped up and shouted, "Who, the tiger does not show its power, you think I am a sick cat. These people must be accomplices in the throne. Brother Cheng, no, Zhu Tongzhi. Give me a thousand men and I will kill all these rebels."

It is rare for King Xin to ask Zhu Youcheng for orders in such a formal tone. Zhu Youcheng was about to nod his head to agree, and Wu Huping said in a little puzzled manner: "Mr. Zhu, this group of people is a bit strange. Should we be more cautious when sending troops?"

Chen Guoqi also said, "Yes. Antai should not have such a great appeal, right? Last time, An Bangyan gathered 200,000 troops and was defeated in Guiyang City. In the end, he only collected a few hundred remaining soldiers. The troops in the chicken cave should be the last family of the barbarians. If he lost so badly, are there still barbarians willing to be their cannon fodder? What makes me wonder the most is that there are Miao people among them. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Miao people have been obedient and never participated in the rebellion of the barbarians. However, the barbarians, from Yang Yinglong to She Chongming, An Bangyan rebelled three times in a row, and was the most restless person in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Guoqi did not understand history. In fact, there were two types of Miao people, one was mature seedlings and the other was raw seedlings. Cooked seedlings were deeply influenced by Han culture, obeyed the kingly transformation, and were more obedient to one's own self-discipline; while the breeding seedlings were more barbaric. Once the Ming court was a little inappropriate to them, it rose up. In order to protect the Han people and mature seedlings from being invaded by the breeding seedlings, the Ming Dynasty spent nearly seventy years to build a city wall of more than 380 miles in Miaojiang from the 33rd year of Jiajing (1554) to the 3rd year of Tianqi (1622).

Zhu Youcheng calmed down and felt that something was strange, so he could not draw conclusions too early. What if the people were eating and drinking pots to welcome the Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei added fire guns to the fire, wouldn’t it be a shame for the local people? After all, Anbangyan and his son were in trouble in the village, the Han people suffered, and the Miao people suffered. The Yi people did not fall well. The Jinyiwei wiped out the An thief, which can be said to have done a great good deed for the people of Guizhou.

While hesitating, another hundred household came to report that the people who came were men and women, and they were not wearing armor and weapons. They had many ornaments on their clothes, which looked very similar to the festival dress.

Zhu Youcheng felt even more strange. It is May 16, the sixth year of the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty. It is not the New Year or the Festival. Chicken Cave is not a scenic spot. Why do these people come here to party in holiday costumes?

Zhu Youcheng asked hundreds of households to invite the leading people among the people, and then invited the generals to hurry up and have a meal. Although there was a legend that Zhou Gong vomited and the whole world returned to his heart, Zhu Youcheng did not want to be Zhou Gong because that would cause stomach problems.

After dinner, Ke Qingqing made another cup of Biluochun for Zhu Youcheng.

Zhu Youcheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. The mellow fragrance filled his mouth. He thought to himself: "This is the life he yearns for. After coming to the Ming Dynasty, he climbed up to the emperor's high branches and became kinship with the greatest power and traitor of the Ming Dynasty. It was the best condition for being a playboy, so why did he get busier?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he lifted the curtain and brought an old man into the big tent.

Zhu Youcheng asked kindly, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter to find me?"

The Yi people in the west of the Shuixi are all mature Yi and mature Miao people, and most of them can understand Chinese. The old man brought by hundreds of households is a mature Miao.

The old man looked confused and said, "I'm fine and look for you, sir. If the general hadn't brought me in, I wouldn't have known that sir had come to this place."

King Xin asked, "Then why are you walking towards the camp of the Jinyiwei?"

The old man smiled and said with apologies: "The two adults misunderstood. We are not here to find you. When we heard the melodious singing of Dajidong Village, we thought that the singing and dancing conference was held, so we came from a distance. Since the rebellion of the old thief Anbangyan in the second year of Tianqi, it has been a long time since the rebellion of the old thief Anbangyan. This time, the Daming Tian army suppressed the rebellion and the singing and dancing were promoted, we also came to join in the fun. I was really embarrassed to shock your army."

Zhu Youcheng heard about Dajidong Village, then remembered the burnt land at the entrance of the cave, sighed, took the old man out of the camp, pointed to the entrance of the cave, and said, "Dajidong Village no longer exists."

The old man almost coughed to death with a mouthful of phlegm.

He said with difficulty: "Dajidong Village was slaughtered by you? How can you do this? Although Dajidong Village is a village of Yiren, the people living in it are all mature and Yi. They obeyed Wang Hua and were the people of the Ming Dynasty. Although the thief rebelled, the villagers of Dajidong Village were carried away by him and did something wrong, but the boy and woman were slaughtered by you! "

Zhu Youcheng shook his head and said, "You also said that the villagers of Dajidong Village are citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and their officials are also officials of the Ming Dynasty. How could they kill the people under their rule? There is another person who killed the villagers."

"What other people are there? It's five miles here. Where can anyone besides your army?"

"An Bangyan's son Anxian led the rebels to fight stubbornly in the cave. Before entering the cave, he was afraid that the villagers of Dajidong Village would disclose their whereabouts, so he killed all the villagers and burned Dajidong Village to white land with a torch. Now our Jinyiwei is cleaning up the An bandits in the cave. When the captives are captured, you will know as soon as you ask."

Although Zhu Youcheng said it briefly, the old man immediately believed it. Because Zhu Youcheng was a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to explain it to him. Even if he was arrested, he would just silence him, so why bother to do so?

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Then there is no singing and dancing conference? Oh, my granddaughter is nineteen and can't get married. I wanted to take advantage of this singing and dancing conference to get married and end my thoughts, but I didn't expect..."

It turned out that this was another trouble caused by Zhu Youcheng. Didn’t he turn the loud voice of the Jinyiwei into the chicken cave to sing? As a result, the song spread to all corners of the countryside, making people think that a grand singing and dancing conference was being held here.

Miao people and Yi people like to choose spouses through folk song duets at the singing and dancing conference. As long as the man and woman meet love songs, they can exchange love tokens, and then a beautiful marriage will be concluded.

Anbangyan rebelled, and the southwest was in chaos. No village was in the mood to organize a singing and dancing conference, which resulted in a large number of leftover men and women.

Zhu Youcheng's heart moved. The Jinyiwei was basically bachelor. Although he had entrusted Wei Liangqing to buy a population in Shaanxi, he didn't know how effective it was. Even if he succeeded, not everyone would be able to get a wife. It would be a good thing if the marriage problems of some Jinyiwei soldiers could be solved here.

As for the Yi Nu, Miao Nu is not worried about the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, and Zhu Youcheng is not worried at all. The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard are all good men in the Han family. They are wearing golden armor of the Jinyi Guard. They are all handsome and have great figures. As long as women with eyes, they will definitely regard them as good matches.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youcheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, my father-in-law, the Jinyiwei is a soldier of the people. The affairs of the people are the affairs of the Jinyiwei. Since the people hope to hold a singing and dancing conference here, the Jinyiwei will hold one. As for the rebels, they were blocked in the cave by the Jinyiwei and could not get out at all, and you are safe."
