Chapter 709 The Toast Party
Among all the chieftains in Sichuan, Laba Tusi and Ronggong Tusi are the most powerful. Ronggong Tusi is said to be above the chieftains. Although the army of Laba Tusi is relatively large, Ronggong Tusi has the advantage that their son-in-law is their son-in-law.
Ronggong's chieftains have always been women, which is completely different from other chieftains. Generally speaking, they are passed down to their sons but not daughters. However, everyone in the Southwest Yi knew that the Ronggong family has always been women in charge.
But there was only one person who could inherit the position of Ronggong toast, and their sisters and aunts married other toasts around them.
This will also better improve their own strength and allow them to have dozens of allies. Therefore, if the power of these people is included, Laba Tusi is not as good as Ronggong Tusi, but this also has certain disadvantages.
Of course, doing this will make your strength less pure. If the interests of other investments are not involved, Ronggong Toast can indeed gather the most people, but if they collide with the actual interests of other toasts, these people may become confrontational people in minutes.
In the face of power struggle, he felt very powerless. Everyone knows this, but at this moment, the Ming army was coming in full force, and Ronggong Tusi's proposal stood in the interests of everyone. More than a dozen chieftains came to Ronggong Tusi.
"I believe everyone knows some things. The tens of thousands of troops of Laba Tusi were lost at the mountain pass at the foot of his mountain. Now the Ming army blocked them, and many of us were affected. Although there are still several passages for inlet and exit here, if the Ming army blocked them directly, we have no other way. Today we will find everyone to see if there is a strategy to retreat to the enemy."
Ronggong Tusi is in his forties and should look older in this era. However, there are special secret techniques in their families that can help women maintain their youth a little longer, so Ronggong Tusi looks only in his thirties and looks extremely beautiful.
Except for a few of the people here who are Rong Gong Tusi's son-in-law, the rest are either Rong Gong Tusi's brother-in-law or brother-in-law, and even a few uncles.
These people also wanted to marry Ronggong Tusi, but unfortunately they were not very lucky. Now when they looked at Ronggong Tusi, their eyes were very complicated.
"If you want to take power out of us, then fight with them. We have not been here for a day or two. Why do they have to make decisions when they come? The Ming army has been encircling the chieftains for a day or two, but they have never seen them win. At worst, we can continue to waste time with them. In addition to us, there is Zhang Xianzhong behind them..."
Tata Toast is the third person here. In addition to Raba Toast and Ronggong Toast, he has the most troops under his command, and he also has a salt well, which is also a reason why he has a greater say.
Sichuan has always produced salt, but most of it is in the hands of the Han people. These people only have a few wells.
If the Han people wanted to block them, they would block their salt and iron. Other things could be found in the mountains, but these two things could not be found.
The reason why Tata Toast dares to say this is precisely because he can produce salt, so his waist is a little harder than others, but he does not have iron in it.
War requires all kinds of weapons. How can we persist without iron? How to repair damaged weapons? This is all they need to consider.
"Don't mention that guy Zhang Xianzhong. When my subordinates first arrived in the Ming army near Chengdu, he lost nearly 30,000 people. Now he is like a turtle, staying honestly in Chengdu. The Ming army is now clearly going to siege Zhang Xianzhong, and then come to deal with us first. I have received reliable news that they are interested in the food in our hands."
The territory of Solang Tusi is relatively close to the Han people, so he receives a lot of information.
These people present are smart people. They also know why the Han people fell in love with their food. The production in Sichuan is already messy. If they want to recover, the food of these ordinary people must be in place this year. If they have to be transported all from outside, there will be no good results.
"Is there a possibility that we can join forces to bring out a batch of grain to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps some things can be passed. If this is the case, can we overcome the difficulties?"
Rong Gong Toast had never spoken, and suddenly spoke at this time, and everyone was thinking about this question.
To be honest, their military strength is not as good as that of Raba Tusi, and their geographical conditions cannot keep up with that. If the Ming Dynasty used the method of dealing with Raba Tusi, they would really not be able to turn over.
"I didn't expect that before the army was sent, the lord Ronggong Tusi had already thought of such a good idea. Should we bow our heads to these Han people? Do you have to give them the position you passed down from generation to generation? This is the opinion put forward by your Ronggong Tusi?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside, and everyone could hear it. This was the voice of Raba Tusi. I thought they were blocked by the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect to come to attend the Tusi party.
What the Ming Dynasty blocked was only the exit from the mountain, and did not block the exchanges between the mountain. As long as the Raba Tushishi could take a detour, they could still go to the territory of other Tushishis.
But it is okay for a few people to come for a meeting and walk on the mountain road. If you want to transport various supplies in large quantities, it is basically impossible.
Laba Tushi brought thirty guards, but there were only twenty-five people at Ronggong Tushi. Those five people fell off the cliff on the mountain road. You can imagine how troublesome those mountain roads are.
"Don't be angry at Raba Toast. When I encounter such a thing, I can only ask everyone to discuss it. As for how to deal with it in the end, aren't we still not going to get it?"
Rong Gong Tusi said embarrassedly, to be honest, men and women think differently in such matters.
