Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 505 House arrest
Fuzhou, the Chief Secretary of Yunnan, is the territory of Chieftain Shen.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 sits here to stabilize the clansmen of the Mo clan of the Annan Kingdom who have fled here.

"Brother Chen Yu, when will your country send troops to help our Mo family take back Gaoping? I have been waiting here for two months, and I haven't seen any movement from your country." Mo Jingkuan, the leader of the Mo family, said at the dinner Said to Chen Yu, the propaganda envoy of the Guangnan government.

Also at the banquet table were Fuzhou chieftain Shen Mingtong, Guangnan chieftain Nong Shaozhou, and Chengzhou Cen's chieftain, all large and small.This place is high and the emperor is far away, and the chieftain was the emperor until the end of the Ming Dynasty. Now after being beaten by the Kyushu army, he gradually released his power.

"I have already reported your matter to the Heavenly Court. Your court should also know that the Annan Kingdom is located in a remote place, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. It would take a lot of time for our military master to dispatch troops immediately." Guangnan Mansion Xuanzheng envoy Chen Yu said.

"Oh, it's just that my homeland has been lost. I always want to go back to Gaoping and take a handful of Gaoping's soil with my own hands." Mo Jingkuan said regretfully from the side.

The chieftains present looked at each other in blank dismay.It would be fine if the Lord Zheng of Annan Kingdom said such things here, but the Mo family dynasty led by Mo Jingkuan has only [-] subjects, which is equivalent to a big chieftain of the Chief Secretary of Yunnan.How dare you call yourself a country at the level of a big chieftain?

Nevertheless, in order to give Mo Jingkuan some face, Nong Shaozhou, chieftain of Guangnan, said: "Brother Mo, don't worry, eat and drink with us first. We have a saying in China, that is, if you stay in the green mountains, you will not worry about firewood." Burning, I have to take care of your health, Brother Mo, and one day you will be able to make a comeback."

"Exactly, no matter what, our Kyushu Army will take back Gaoping." Chen Yu said from the side.

The Kyushu Army regained Gaoping?Although Mo Jingkuan felt that Chen Yu's words were good, why did he feel that there was some ambiguity...

"Master Xuanzheng, in the past two months, in order to resettle thousands of our clansmen, you have sent our clansmen to Guangnan, Chengzhou and other places for food. I heard that those who were dispatched far away went to Kunming, Hunan and other places. We Although the people of An Nan Kingdom are not as talented as the Celestial Dynasty, they are not foolish people, and they don't even know they are being swallowed alive." A high-ranking official of the Mo family who followed Mo Jingkuan suddenly made an attack at the dinner table.

Within two months, several thousand orphans of the Mo clan fled into the territory of the Chief Secretary of Yunnan Province. They were divided into small batches and sent to various places of the Chief Secretary of Yunnan Province for resettlement.Some of them are a little farther away, even going out of the territory of the chief secretary in Yunnan, to Guizhou, Hunan and other places.

"Mo Jingkuan, I respect you for being a man, so you have painstakingly used your private power to help your refugees solve the problem of food and clothing. If you don't arrange this way, will you have a place to eat and sleep warmly?! Just rely on Did you bring a little gold and silver when you fled? We have done our best, but you still come to threaten us?" Chen Yu was furious when he heard that, he slammed the table, and Mo Jingkuan was frightened.

This place is not as high as An Nanguo, but the territory of the Kyushu Army, and Chen Yu is the largest group of officials sent by the Kyushu Army to Yunnan except for the chief envoy. If they offend Chen Yu, the chieftains here will not dare to let them Leave alive, or the Kyushu Army will hold him accountable, and no one here will survive.

"Brother Chen Yu, don't misunderstand, we just feel that the ethnic groups are scattered, and we are afraid that people's hearts will be scattered." Mo Jingkuan said weakly.

He also found that there were only a few hundred Annan people who were still in Fuzhou, and only a few dozen people were with him.It has to be said that Huaxia has a large population. After the thousands of Annan people he brought were annexed, there was no movement at all.If they stay here for a long time, it is estimated that these thousands of people are used to living a stable life, and they may not be willing to return to the Gaoping area of ​​Annan Kingdom with him.

"Hmph, you just stay here safely, with good wine and good food. When the main force of our Kyushu Army arrives, the Gaoping area will be regained! If you are really impatient, please go back to Gaoping by yourself and go to Lord Zheng's army Die in front of you!" Chen Yu's tone changed from eager to cold, as if Chen Yu would be furious if Mo Jingkuan and others spoke back.

The atmosphere at the dinner party suddenly turned cold, and the chieftains all drank and watched from the sidelines.Of course they were on Chen Yu's side, they were just looking at the embarrassed Mo Jingkuan and others.

"You retainer, apologize to the officials of the Kyushu Army, or I will punish you!" Mo Jingkuan resisted Chen Yu's pressure, so he had to give up his own people and scolded the official of the Mo family who made trouble just now.

"Small..." Mo Jingkuan's officials originally protested to the Kyushu Army at Mo Jingkuan's will, but they were reprimanded by Mo Jingkuan instead, and they couldn't help but show their grievances, "They are all small and treat a gentleman with a villain's heart." Belly, please forgive me, my lord, the officials of the Celestial Dynasty."

"Forget it, because you are young and ignorant, I won't hold you accountable anymore. Come on, let's continue to drink and eat." Chen Yu pretended that what happened just now hadn't happened, and raised his glass as if nothing had happened.

Chen Yu was only in his 20s, and the officials of the Mo clan who he said were young and ignorant were all in their 50s and [-]s, but that official of the Mo clan didn't dare to talk too much, and just bowed his head and drank in silence.

The chieftains here have been managing the local people for hundreds of years. They are all big landlords. They all say that the landlords have surplus food in their families. Having dinner at the chieftain's house is of no importance to the Shen family.

Mo Jingkuan was also a little depressed. He lost Gao Ping, and was coerced by the Kyushu Army and others in Fuzhou. He dared not speak out. Under all kinds of troubles, he had to drink to relieve his sorrow, and got drunk at the dinner.

"You help Brother Mo to rest in his room." Shen Mingtong called two servants and asked them to send Mo Jingkuan to his room to rest after he was drunk.

Mo Jingkuan lived in the mansion of the chieftain of the Shen family, Shen Mingtong, and Shen Mingtong even vacated several vacant rooms for them.

"Let's leave too." Seeing that Mo Jingkuan was being framed, the other officials of the Mo family, who were depressed, didn't want to stay on the table and be looked down upon by a group of Yunnan chieftains and officials, so they left one after another.

Now only the most powerful chieftains in this area and Chen Yu and other officials are left on the table.

"Shen Mingtong, your superiors have given you a mission. You need to secretly send someone to put Mo Jingkuan under house arrest in your mansion. The thousands of people he brought will be used to enrich the population of our Chief Secretary of Yunnan. Even if we regain Gaoping in the future, we will not have them. It's something to do." After Mo Jingkuan left, Chen Yu's eyes became sharp, "Master Shen Yulong, the chief envoy of Yunnan, is about to take office."
