Chapter 705 Blocking the Forest
Laba Tusi naturally understood what Wu Chengxun was talking about, that is, the surrounding villages were blood-slaughtered and they had to hand over this part of the ferocious beasts.
"All the criminals died in yesterday's battle. Do you still want me to find the bodies one by one for you?"
Under the threat of the Ming artillery, Raba Tusi had to adjust his attitude. Although he did not visit the battlefield in person yesterday, he could see clearly the situation on the battlefield today.
If they continue to attack, they will definitely not be able to defend the location of the mountain pass. The annoying guy on the opposite side destroyed the road to the mountain. If the place was occupied by them, all the tribe members would be trapped on the mountain.
Although they stored enough food, other daily necessities were not stored. Usually, they relied on vendors from both places to sell them. If the Ming Dynasty blocked the mountain pass, it would take only one or two years at most, and I'm afraid that the mountain would not be able to survive.
Wu Chengxun nodded with a smile. He also knew that what the other party said was true. He also asked Jiang Dagui that most of the soldiers who came out to rob were stationed at this mountain pass. Yesterday, so many soldiers here died and injured, so this page was just considered to be turned over, but was there only one requirement in the Ming Dynasty?
"Then this matter is resolved, let's look at the second one..."
Before Wu Chengxun finished speaking, Raba Tushi immediately raised his hand to stop the guy from continuing.
"What do you mean? Aren't you here to solve the problem? If your requests are too much, we will never surrender. Don't think that if you win a small victory yesterday, you can point fingers at us. Our main force is on this mountain. I don't believe that your people can go to the mountain to wipe me out."
Laba Tusi did not ask Wu Chengxun to raise the remaining conditions, and he did not want to listen to those damn conditions. They have been the mountain king here for so many years, and suddenly they have to put a tight curse on them. How is this possible?
Moreover, their main strength was not lost, so he didn't even want to listen to Wu Chengxun's conditions.
"The scenery on the mountain is indeed beautiful, and I know that you have lived in the mountain for a long time. It is indeed a pure land for you. If my conditions cannot be met, then we might as well separate. You live your life on the mountain and we live our life at the mountain. I can guarantee that no Han people will go up the mountain, and at the same time, you must also guarantee that no tribe members will go down the mountain."
Wu Chengxun naturally had a very clear understanding of the surrounding situation. If the Han people at the foot of the mountain did not go up, their lives would indeed be affected.
But compared with their life safety, these people can be restrained. At worst, they can just go to other places to make money. It is better than people going down the mountain to rob them at any time.
But the southwest barbarians on the mountain are different. Many of their daily necessities must be transported from the bottom of the mountain. For example, the salt that humans need most is not produced on the mountain. If they are not transported from the bottom of the mountain, they may not be able to hold on for half a year.
Raba Toast's anger was arched again, and he was so angry... From Wu Chengxun's side... and with his smaller body, he looked like a big frog.
"Say your conditions."
Laba Tusi had a red face. Everyone knew that this was the time when their Tusi was the most angry. If you couldn't say a word in the original official village, you might be beaten to death.
But now Raba Toast said this. Although it was said viciously, everyone knew that Raba Toast had already admitted his conscience.
Don’t think that Raba Tusi is brainless. In this case, they have no chance of winning at all. The troops that went down the mountain to charge yesterday were not only the elites in Duotu’s hands, but also the elites in the hands of Raba Tusi.
After seeing the actual situation on the battlefield, even if he sent three or four thousand soldiers to rush down, there would be no good results, so they had no bargaining chips in their hands.
I originally thought I could get off other paths and then launch a sneak attack on these people, but now Wu Chengxun has blocked all the paths.
Not only is there no way to make you attack, but even the supplies cannot be transported up. Wu Chengxun's investigation of the surrounding area was very detailed and directly locked up their life gate.
"According to the requirements of the court, in order to prevent such incidents from happening in the future, we must set up military camps and government offices on the mountain."
The court's request was very simple, with only a few short sentences, but it made the people behind Raba Tusi extremely angry. They had lived here for so long.
Although he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, he was just a name. No one on the mountain took this statement seriously because the Ming Dynasty's forces had never entered the mountain. Now they actually thought of setting up military camps in the mountain. How could this work?
"Do you want to change the court and our century-old rules?"
Raba Tushi tried hard to calm himself down. He could not be like these people under his command. If there was another conflict, he still didn't know what would happen to the guy in front of him. He always felt that Wu Chengxun had a backup plan.
"The rules are set by people, and the specific situation a hundred years ago was different from now. A hundred years ago, you did not harass the people around you as much as you do. Now look at what you do. How many people are there in the surrounding villages? For their peace and stability, the court must do this. Anyone who dares to stop the court will be ruthlessly crushed."
Wu Chengxun glanced at the army behind him intentionally or unintentionally. There were not many artillery soldiers yesterday, but today there were several field artillery alone.
If the fight really starts, at most, it will take only a cup of tea. All the buildings in the village will no longer exist, and the people in front of them may be sent to heaven by the imperial army.
"Aren't you afraid of causing a protracted war?"
Although Raba Toast had no bargaining chips in his hand, this guy was still unwilling to admit defeat.
Because they have had the upper hand in the confrontation with the court for hundreds of years, but today they find that they have been curbed by the guy in front of them, and our advantage is gone.
