"Send the items to the warehouse!"
" The chieftain of the Yi family of the Yue Wei purchased 1,000 cotton armor, 3,000 leather armor, 3,000 chainmail armor, 5,000 steel knives and hammers, 2,000 horn bows, 200,000 arrows, and 500 warhorses."
" A thousand Yi families in Puxiong, buying 500 cotton armor, 2,000 chainmail armor, 1,000 leather armor, 2,000 steel knives and hammers, and 300 warhorses."
" A thousand households of the Black Miao tribe of the Dingfan Division, purchasing 3,000 cotton armor, 3,000 chainmail armor, 3,000 leather armor, 5,000 steel knives and hammers, 1,000 warhorses, 3,000 horned bows, and 200,000 arrows."
In the town outside Liuzhao Mountain, when a thousand Southwest Heavy Cavalry mounted on Dian horses, clad in cotton armor, chain mail armor, and leather armor, were transporting supplies outside a warehouse that occupied more than ten acres, an advisor outside the warehouse was recording the results of today's transaction.
In front of the advisor stood dozens of chieftains of various sizes, dressed in various ethnic costumes.
It was now February of the 51st year of Kangxi. The cold winter in southern Yunnan had faded a little. These chieftains had come to Liuzhao Mountain to buy armaments under Li Dao's communication.
Among this group of chieftains, the most powerful ones were the three chieftains of Dingfan Division, Puxiong Division, and Yueyu Guard.
The Yue Wei and Puxiong belonged to the western part of Ba Shu, which was the chieftain near Daliang Mountain, while the Dingfan Division was the largest Miao power in Guizhou.
As the chieftain, the amount of armaments they purchased was also frighteningly large. However, this was good news for Zhu Bomu.
Yang Mubo, who was in charge of the three prefectures, had also come today. Because of the presence of heavy armor and cotton armor in Zhu Bomu's armament this time, he had to rush over to take a look.
Yang Mubo had recently become very famous in the chieftain circle. After all, he ruled over three prefectures and had tens of thousands of troops. He could be considered the best chieftain in the southwest.
When he spoke, even the three chieftains, Dingfan and Puxiong, looked at him, which undoubtedly gave him a great sense of vanity.
Just as they were chatting fervently, Shen Lian, who was wearing a crimson brocade robe, walked over.
"Milords, my lord is already making tea for you nearby. Please go over and have a chat."
" This person…" The chieftains present saw that Shen Lian was wearing the Han Chinese clothing of the previous dynasty and his hair was the style of the previous dynasty. They could not help but feel delighted.
This message was applicable to the entire Qing Dynasty. Except for the Mongolians, everyone else had to wear a money-tail braid.
The chieftains present weren't bad either, but because they were too ugly, everyone made hats out of cloth and wrapped their heads up.
People like Shen Lian who dared to not shave their hair openly, other than the Taoist priests, were probably not seen.
With that thought in mind, everyone followed Yang Mubo and Shen Lian to a newly built small courtyard nearby. The moment they entered, they saw the big bonfire in the middle of the courtyard, as well as the tables and chairs on both sides.
These chieftains were also smart. They let the strongest Yang Mubo and the other three chieftains sit in the first two seats on the left and right sides, while they sat down according to their strength.
After they sat down, Zhu Bomu came out. However, this time, he was not wearing the clothes of the Qing Dynasty, nor did he wrap his head with cloth. Instead, he was wearing a vermillion robe and his long hair was tied into a bun. He looked very refreshing.
"Chieftains, I am Li Yuan. It was really a fluke that I was able to gather everyone through the trade route this time. Therefore, here, I will use tea instead of wine to toast everyone!”After saying that, Zhu Bomu raised his teacup and took a sip.
"Hehe, Brother Li Yuan is a hero from a young age. If it wasn't for Brother Li Yuan's financial support, I, Yang Mubo, wouldn't have been able to unify the three prefectures in a short year.”
Yang Mubo was a smart person. He knew that Zhu Bomu needed support, so he immediately stood up.
However, after drinking his tea, Yang Mubo continued to smile,"To be honest, I am already very dissatisfied with the Qing court. Although the previous Ming Dynasty was harsh on us, they only sent officials to manage it. Now, the Qing court is building military camps in various places.”
"Every year, these military camps collect taxes and land taxes, causing the people under our command to complain!”
"That's right!" Before Yang Mubo could finish his sentence, the chieftain of Puxiong Division said,""South Yunnan is still alright. Our Bashu chieftain has been repeatedly taxing because the Qing court wants to deal with the Mongolians. The people under him are so hungry that they can only go up the mountain to eat wild vegetables!”
"The Tartars can take the Central Plains with hundreds of thousands of people, so why can't we drive them back?”
"That's right! I think we have no less than 200,000 troops here. As long as we plan well, we might be able to drive the Qing court back to the north!”The Thousand Households of the Dingfan Bureau said loudly.
As the person in charge of this incident, Zhu Bomu was also speechless when he saw the chaotic scene. It turned out that these people did not need to be provoked by him at all. They became angry as they chatted. No wonder there were so many people rebelling in the Qing Dynasty.
"Cough cough!" Just as everyone was arguing, Yang Mubo coughed. The other chieftains stopped arguing and turned to look at him.
However, Yang Mubo did not look at this group of people. Instead, he turned to look at Zhu Bomu,"" If we want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, it is extremely important to attack the city. However, we don't have any cannons. I wonder if Brother Li Yuan…"
"Cannons?" Hearing Yang Mubo's words, Zhu Bomu smiled,""Although I don't have heavy cannons, I still have small cannons that can only break through the city gates."
