Chapter five hundred and fourth house arrest
Fuzhou, the chieftain of Yunnan Provincial Administration, is the territory of the chieftain Shen family. After Chen Yu, the Xuanzheng envoy of Guangnan Prefecture, arrived in Fuzhou, Shen Mingtong, the leader of the Shen family, offered Chen Yu as a guest of honor. Chen Yu temporarily stayed here to stabilize the clan members of the Mo family dynasty who had fled here.
"Brother Chen Yu, when will your country send troops to help our Mo family regain Gaoping? I have been waiting here for two months and have not seen any movement in your country." Mo Jingkuan, the leader of the Mo dynasty, said to Chen Yu, the Guangnan Prefecture Xuanzheng Envoy at the dinner.
The same banquet table was attended by Shen Mingtong, the chieftain of Fuzhou, the chieftain of Guangnan, and the chieftain of Chengzhou Cen, and other large and small nearby chieftains. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. The chieftains were all local emperors until the end of the Ming Dynasty. Now they were beaten by the Jiuzhou Army, and they gradually released their power.
"I have already reported your affairs to the Heavenly Court. Your dynasty should also know that Annan Kingdom is located in a remote place, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Even if our army leader is the first to dispatch troops, it will take a lot of time." said Chen Yu, the Xuanzheng Envoy of Guangnan Prefecture.
"Oh, it's just that my hometown has been lost. I always want to return to Gaoping and hold a handful of Gaoping's soil in my own hands." Mo Jingkuan said regretfully from the side.
The chieftains present looked at each other. If it were Zheng Zhu of Annan, it would be fine if it was said this here, but the Mo family dynasty led by Mo Jingkuan was only 100,000 subjects, which was equivalent to a large chieftain in Yunnan Provincial Administration. With the level of this chieftain, he dared to claim to be a country?
Despite this, in order to give Mo Jingluo some face, Guangnan chieftain Nong Shaozhou said: "Brother Mo, don't be anxious, eat and drink well with us first. We have a landmark in China, which means staying in the mountains without worrying about burning firewood. Brother Mo, you should take good care of your health and one day you will be able to make a comeback."
"That's true. No matter what, our Jiuzhou Army will recover Gao Ping." Chen Yu said from the side.
The Jiuzhou Army recovered Gao Ping? Although Mo Jingkuan thought Chen Yu's words were right, why did he feel that there was a little ambiguity...
"Sir Xuanzheng Envoy, in the past two months, you have sent our tribe members to Guangnan, Chengzhou and other places to eat in order to resettle thousands of our tribe members. I heard that those who were far away from the distant places have arrived in Kunming, Hunan and other places. Although the people in our Annan Kingdom are not as talented as the Celestial Empire, they are not confused people. They don't know if they are eaten alive by people." A high-ranking official from the Mo dynasty who followed Mo Jingkuan suddenly attacked the dining table.
Within two months, thousands of people who fled into the territory of the Yunnan Provincial Administration and the General Secretary were orphaned by the Guangnan Propaganda Commissioner Chen Yu, on the grounds that it was difficult for the small Fuzhou to save so many people, divided the thousands of people into small batches and sent them to various places of the Yunnan Provincial Administration and settled in place. Among them, those slightly further away even left the territory of the Provincial Administration and went to Guizhou, Hunan and other places.
"Mo Jingkuan, I Jingkuan, you are a man, so I have been trying hard to use your private rights to help your refugees solve the problem of food and clothing. If this is not arranged, will you have a place to eat and sleep warmly?! Just rely on the little gold and silver you brought when you flee? We have done our best to be kind and righteous, but you still come to threaten us?" Chen Yu was furious when he heard that, and slapped the table suddenly, which scared Mo Jingkuan so much that he was frightened.
This place is not as flat as Annan Kingdom, but the territory of the Jiuzhou Army. Chen Yu is the largest group of officials sent by the Jiuzhou Army to Yunnan except the governor. If Chen Yu offends Chen Yu, the chieftains here dare not let them leave alive, otherwise the Jiuzhou Army will hold them accountable and no one here can survive.
"Brother Chen Yu, don't get me wrong. We just feel that the people are dispersed, and we are afraid that people will be dispersed." Mo Jingkuan said weakly.
He also found that there were only a few hundred people in Annan who were still in Fuzhou, and there were only dozens of people following him. It has to be said that China has a large population, and after the thousands of Annan people he brought were annexed, there was no movement at all. If he had been here for a long time, these thousands of people might not be willing to return to Gaoping area of Annan with him.
"Hmph, you can stay here safely, with good wine and food. When the main force of our Jiuzhou Army arrives, the Gaoping area will be lost and restored! If you really don't have the patience, please go back to Gaoping by yourself and die in front of Zheng Lord Zheng's army!" Chen Yu's tone changed from eagerness to cold, as if Chen Yu would be furious as long as Mo Jingkuan and others talked back.
The atmosphere at the dinner suddenly became cold, and the toasts were drinking on their own and watching from the wall. Of course, they were standing on Chen Yu's side, just watching the awkward Mo Jingkuan and others.
"You servant, please apologize to the officials of the Jiuzhou Army, otherwise I will punish you!" Mo Jingkuan, under the pressure of Chen Yu, had to give up his own people and scold the official of the Mo Dynasty who had just attacked.
"Little..." Officials of the Mo family dynasty were originally protested to the Jiuzhou Army by Mo Jingkuan's will, but instead they were scolded by Mo Jingkuan, and they couldn't help but show grievances. "They are all young people who judge the gentleman with the heart of villains. Please forgive the officials of the Celestial Dynasty."
"Forget it, I will no longer hold you accountable because you are young and ignorant. Come on, let's continue to drink and eat." Chen Yu raised his glass as if nothing had happened.
Chen Yu was only in his twenties, and the officials of the Mo Dynasty who he said were young and ignorant, all of them were in their forties or fifties. However, the official of the Mo Dynasty did not dare to speak much, but just lowered his head and drank.
The chieftains here have been managing the local people for hundreds of years, and they are all big landlords. They say that the landlords have surplus grain at their homes, and having dinner at the chieftains of Shen is insignificant for the Shen family.
Mo Jingkuan was also a little depressed. He lost Gao Ping and was under pressure from Jiuzhou Army and others in Fuzhou. He dared not speak out. Under all kinds of worries, he had to drink to relieve his sorrows and drank drunk at the dinner party.
"You help Brother Mo to rest in his room." Shen Mingtong called two servants and asked them to take Mo Jingkuan to rest in his room after he got drunk.
Mo Jingkuan lived in the mansion of Shen Mingtong, chieftain of Shen, and Shen Mingtong also made several empty rooms for them.
"We will say goodbye too." Seeing that Mo Jingkuan was being held down, other depressed officials of the Mo dynasty did not want to stay on the dining table and were looked down upon by a group of Yunnan chieftains and officials, they said goodbye one after another.
Now there are only a few officials such as toasts and Chen Yu who have the most power in this area.
"Shen Mingtong, the superiors have given a task. You need to secretly send someone to put Mo Jingkuan under house arrest in your mansion. The thousands of people he brought were treated as a way to enrich the population of our Yunnan Provincial Administration. Even if Gao Ping is recovered, there will be no other task." Chen Yu's eyes became sharp after Mo Jingkuan left, "Yunnan Administration Lord Shen Youlong is about to take office."
