Chapter 12 Infighting among the Miao People (2)
Chapter 12: Internal strife of the Miao people (2)
As time goes by, Magu looks at her father with pain and helpless face, and the grief on her father's forehead has been numerous in just a few days. Although her father deliberately concealed the marriage proposal from her several times, she still knew that the matter was going on and off. Her father made a mistake in one move and lost everything. She handed over the "old city" she built with great effort, making her now live under others and be controlled by others everywhere, and was troubled by being a daughter. If she could use her father's reputation and call her up, she might not have the current glory of Wu Heimiao.
It is related to her lifelong happiness. The smart Magu understands more than anyone else. Although she has adhered to Sinology since childhood and has learned the Confucian teachings of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, she despises the traditions of the Han people for thousands of years from the heart. The children of Miaojiang dare to love and hate, and their destiny should be created by their own hands.
"Dad, no matter what kind of man you marry, Magu will never marry Wu Heimiao, the devil who harmed my Miao family's woman!" Magu's charming face appeared and he said firmly.
"Magu, you?" Old Official Ma looked at his only daughter in surprise and couldn't speak.
"Dad, even if Magu promises to marry Wu Heimiao now, we will not have any good ending in the future!" Magu said in a shocking voice.
"Magu, you can't talk nonsense. Now Wu Heimiao has gathered 70,000 to 80,000 troops, and the soldiers of the court have no choice but to deal with him. This time, Wu Heimiao has learned from the lessons of our Miao people's failure in the rise of the army. Instead of directly attacking the strong city where heavy troops are defending, he consolidated his existing territory and trained soldiers. He even robbed the food and grass of the court in the north and grabbed the arrested tribesmen. Now his prestige has reached an unprecedented level. All the white covers all the ugly things. Now the Miao people in Miao Xinjiang regard him as a hero among the Miao people. The villages that were still swaying were scrambling to surrender to him. Although my father has some prestige, he is far from able to compete with Wu Heimiao now." Old Master Ma sighed and said helplessly.
Although Magu was determined to fight for fate, he suddenly turned pale when his father said this. In her eyes, his father never showed such a discouraged expression in front of him. Tears were still on his beautiful face, and he said, "Dad, do you have the will to marry that person?"
"Magu, my father can't bear it. What should I do? My father gave up the old city. Although Wu Heimiao did not restrict my father's freedom and also granted a big official position, my father knew that Wu Heimiao would not let us father and daughter go out of the royal city." Old official hated why he couldn't hesitate at the beginning. Think about it carefully. If the old city was in his hands, with the defense system designed by his daughter, he would not be afraid even if Wu Heimiao's 100,000 troops attacked the city. He would be at least once!
"Dad, my daughter heard that the army of the court in the north was stationed in Dayou Mountain. She heard that this army was strict in military discipline and did not violate the people. She was even more polite to me and Miao people along the way. She used to hear from the local officials of Han people that there are two emperors in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen of Beijing was the uncle of Emperor Honglong of Nanjing."
"Magu, what did you hear about this?" Old Official Ma looked at his daughter in surprise and asked. He remembered that his daughter had been away for almost a year, so how could he know so much about things outside?
"My father is Miao, my mother is Han, and my daughter is my close relative. In my daughter's heart, Miao people are relatives, and Han people are also relatives. Han people oppress Miao people, and their daughter is heartbroken. Miao people take revenge and kill innocent Han civilians. The daughter is also very sad. The daughter hates herself for not being a man and cannot lead the Miao people to find a way that can make two nations live peacefully. Dad, do you know, do you want to know what my mother hopes most in her life?" Magu said emotionally.
"What?" Ma Laoguan asked excitedly. He found that he didn't know this closeest daughter anymore. She actually had such a supreme ideal. Originally, he only thought he had a smart, lively and likable girl. Now he realized that he was wrong. He was so wrong. His daughter said something that his father had never dared to say. Eighteen years ago, Arong (the name of Magu's mother), have you seen it in heaven? This is our daughter. She has grown up and become sensible. She is our pride!
"My grandma has no other request, just hopes that her tablet can enter the Ma family's ancestral hall, not to be on par with the aunt, but at least as the Ma family's daughter-in-law, she will always receive the incense of the Ma family, Miao Han's family!" When Magu talked about her mother, the unparalleled beauty immediately emitted the light of infinite thoughts.
"Miao Han's family!" Ma Laoguan muttered the four words, and a trace of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Dad, Wu Heimiao is a hero in troubled times, but he is not a kind lord. Our Ma family will never have a good end to follow him. If his daughter really marrys him, the Ma family may be robbed." Ma Gu persuaded.
The daughter's words are not alarmist. Wu Heimiao created a "Divine Cult", worshiping "Wu Bi Lao Mother", and forced the Miao people to join the church, saying "Wu Bi Lao Mother, the hometown of vacuum". The so-called eight-character mantra. According to Wu Heimiao, Wu Bi Lao Mother is an ancient Buddha of heaven without birth and death. She wants to save the children of the world and return to heaven to avoid disasters. This heaven is the hometown of vacuum. As long as the Miao people join this religion, they can ascend to the hometown of vacuum after death. Wu Heimiao claims that she is the spokesperson of Wu Bi Lao Mother in the mortal world and is the envoy who guides Miao people into the hometown of vacuum. In just a few days, she has developed believers among the Miao people.
Tens of thousands, and a steady stream of Miao people joining this divine sect, even a mysterious halo was shrouded on Wu Heimiao, just like the savior of the Miao people. Gradually erode the original beliefs of the Miao people. If this continues, the entire Miao people may soon become a victim of his ambitions. Ma Laoguan, who has been working hard to live under a peaceful sky for his tribe, couldn't help but feel deeply worried about the future of the Miao people. When he decided to build the old city, he was able to protect more Miao people from harm. Unexpectedly, he made a wedding dress for others. After hearing what his daughter said, he also secretly hated him in his heart.
"You are talking about my father's heart. Dad, what should we do?" Old Master Ma sighed. He was in a mess now and could only ask for advice from his daughter who had always been outstanding in his plan.
"Drag, we are all under the roof now, so that's all!" Magu saw that his father had been moved by him and would not force himself to marry Wu Heimiao. To be honest, if Magu insisted, if he didn't want to marry, there would be only one way, which would be to escape from the marriage. However, now the old city has been controlled by Wu Heimiao and he took away the general architecture of the old city. Although she was the designer, it was not difficult to escape from the old city. The difficult thing was that his father. Once he ran away, Wu Heimiao would inevitably blame his father. If he took his father to escape with him, with his father's old body, it would be difficult to escape Wu Heimiao's pursuit. Moreover, his father was unwilling to leave the place where he gave birth to him and raised him. From then on, he became a lonely ghost who could not return to his home.
"But Wu Heimiao's betrothal gifts have been sent, and the person is in the hall outside. What do you want my father to say?" Old Official Ma clapped his arms and said helplessly.
"Then Dad, please accept it." Ma Gu's eyes rolled and she thought to herself.
"What?" As soon as Ma Laoguan sat down, he stood up again in shock, stared at his smiling daughter with wide eyes and said in surprise.
"Dad, listen to me first." Magu pressed his father back to the chair and said, "Don't he, Wu Heimiao, want to marry me? Don't he want me to be the happiest bride in Miaojiang? Then he has to show some sincerity!"
"What sincerity?" Ma Laoguan found that he could not keep up with his daughter's thinking at all.
"First, Wu Heimiao has to come to ask for marriage in person. Second, add Yuanzhou City to the betrothal gift. Third, I will divorce all his Teng concubines. Fourth, the children I give birth to in the future, regardless of gender, can only become the heir of the Miao King. If he can do these four things, I will marry him!" Magu smiled and said his conditions.
"Daughter, can this work?" Ma Laoguan was startled. Thinking about it carefully, these four rules were not harsh. The rules for the Miao people to come to marry Magu, it is appropriate to come to propose marriage. The second one is to let Wu Heimiao show his sincerity and strength to marry a daughter. If you can't even defeat Yuanzhou City, how can you feel safe to marry such a man? Especially for a rebellious person, Wu Heimiao has nothing to say about this. Third one, although the Miao people are not monogamous, the original wife, that is, the eldest wife can deal with her husband's concubine at will. It is normal to let her husband divorce Teng concubine. Wu Heimiao is lustful, and this is difficult to do, even if she agrees, she actually cannot do it. Fourth one, this will cost Wu Heimiao's life. Wu Heimiao's original wife gave birth to three sons for him.
The eldest son Wu Jianye, the second son Wu Jianguo, and the third son Wu Jianwu are all not easy-to-have, especially the third son Wu Jianwu is very obsessed with his daughter. If I marry my son's sweetheart, the father and son may turn against each other. For the sake of future power, the eldest son, the second son and even the third son will oppose Wu Heimiao's father marrying his daughter. The conditions proposed by the daughter are so reasonable. The eldest son inherits the system, Miao Han is the wife of the father. The daughter who marrys Wu Heimiao is the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the wife of the child will not be able to blame Magu for the wrong point. If this is not the case, Wu Heimiao's three brothers have grown up and cannot inherit the power of the child, so he still doesn't know what the outcome of the orphan and widow will be. This trick is understandable.
"Dad, what do you think?" Magu blinked his cunning eyes and said with a charming smile from the corner of his mouth.
