The tribal autonomy that was once in the hustle and bustle of the Song Domain, after a few years of trouble, is now back to peace, and Tusi Meisi of the Xiaohe Department said to the people below, fortunately, when Ye Du talked about inspecting the red plain, his family did not follow the trouble, otherwise the consequences are really unpredictable.

The heads of the Long Bai Department and the Chama Department were suddenly at a loss and collectively speechless. Danmu and Wanqiu were worried, and sat down together to discuss what to do next.

Danmu said hatefully: "Ye Yunxuan was on my Zhebo Mountain that day, and he promised to do things, but now he hasn't done anything!"

Wanqiu asked, "What did he promise?"

Danmu said: "He promised not to interfere with the customs of our ministries and promised to be friends with us forever!"

Wanqiu said: "Are you talking about these two promises? Then I can tell you very clearly that people have not broken their promises, or there are no promises at all!"

Danmu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Wanqiu said: "Last time, we sent someone to the White Horse Courtyard, and Yuan Hao said that the White Horse Courtyard always respects our customs and always respects our autonomy, which is more than Ye Yunxuan promised. As for friends, what is a friend? The person I sent to Xuanyuanguan had just returned, and he told me that Ye Yunxuan had received him very warmly, and when he was talking, he repeatedly mentioned that he wanted to be a friend, and he said it eight times in total!"

"And then?"

"No, he didn't answer a word at all about the self-determination and the tribal system I proposed!"

Danmu said angrily: "This is the friend he said? Then why did he come to the Song Domain? Didn't he play us all? Did he come here on purpose to tease people?"

Wanqiu spread his hands: "I don't know about this." But the question we face now is, how do we go about talking to Hakuba?"

"Do you want to go? There's no way to talk about it! The White Horse House doesn't recognize our ...... to the people By the way, if we do not recognize our legal authority over the people and cannot punish the untouchables who commit crimes, what kind of autonomy is this? If you listen to his words, what kind of autonomy is there for big and small autonomy, and what kind of internal autonomy and external autonomy are basically depriving us of our autonomy in the name of abiding by the covenant. The Ming people are really too cunning, much more cunning than the party members! The party people say no, they can't do it, they just say they can do it, at least we know how to deal with it. But what about the Ming people, they say it's okay, but in fact they can't, sometimes they say they can't, but they do it openly, the key is that you can't find the fault!"

Danmu walked back and forth, waving his hands constantly, venting the anger in his heart.

"We should have copied the knife and fought with them, beat them painfully, beat them badly, and let them know how powerful our White Horse Three Divisions are, so that they will sit down honestly and return what belongs to us! By the way, there is also that coward of Mei Si, who doesn't even have the will to resist, so he surrenders like this! Where does he still look like a leader now? With a name, he can't control anything! It really tarnishes the reputation of the ancestors of the Xiaohe Tribe!"

Wanqiu put his hands on his chest, silently let Danmu burst out of his emotions, waiting for him to explode, and secretly said in his heart: "This anxious brute!"

Suddenly, Danmu asked, "Have you heard of a saying recently?"

Wanqiu was stunned: "What?"

Danmu said: "Some people say that you are not the bloodline of the Chama Department, and your father is a wandering orphan adopted by the old Tusi. ”

Wanqiu said angrily: "Who said that, how dare you slander me like this!"

Danmu shook his head: "Some people also say that it was my father who took the party members into Zhebo Mountain to slaughter the mountain, haha...... This kind of rumor has now spread all over the Red Plains, and you and I are afraid that we will only know about it last. ”

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the look of horror on each other's faces, and after a long time, Danmu asked, "Do you want to fight?"

Wanqiu's cheeks twitched, and he didn't dare to answer.

Danmu said again: "If you don't fight, let's go to the White Horse Courtyard to talk?"

Wanqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's talk first." ”

The Long Bai Department and the Chama Department each sent envoys to the White Horse Courtyard together to discuss with Abbot Zhao, but throughout April, they did not have the opportunity to meet Zhao Ran, and even Yuan Hao, who could often see him in the past, seemed to be extremely busy, and only took the time to meet the two envoys once, and only drank a cup of tea.

The whole process of receiving the two envoys was Lu Zhicheng, the new governor of the White Horse Academy, that is, the former Lord Lu Fang and Lu Miaozhu. After the Moon Temple was completed, Jin Jiu rushed to Hongyuan from Guyang County to serve as the temple of the Moon Temple, Li Zhike, who was preparing to build the Moon Temple, was promoted to the White Horse Academy, and Lu Zhicheng was transferred back from the Xiaojie Temple to serve as a Zhike, and the first major thing he did was to be responsible for negotiating with Longbai and Chama.

According to Lu Zhike, it is spring ploughing now, so Abbot Zhao and Yuan Jian Yuan are very busy, please be more considerate of the envoys of the two ministries, and if there is anything, you can talk to him personally, and he himself is willing to sit down with the friends of the two ministries to solve the problem of tribal autonomy that has existed in Hongyuan for several years.

Lu Zhike adhered to the will of the White Horse Academy, and he told the envoys of the two ministries that the White Horse Academy had always abided by the agreement reached between the Long Bai Ministry and the Chama Ministry and the Ming Dynasty, and respected the autonomy of the two ministries, which was the main premise, and the White Horse Academy did not change the idea of this premise.

However, the Longbai and Chama tribes are also requested to abide by the agreement of that year, complete the conversion of the people as soon as possible, and at the same time ensure that the laws of the Ming Dynasty are observed, and respect the policy of the Ming Dynasty not to practice slavery in the Ming Dynasty.

The two sides had a full exchange of views on this issue, especially the understanding of tribal autonomy, which is the core issue.

But unfortunately, due to the big differences, after a month of talks, there is still no agreement.

The White Horse Courtyard was not in a hurry, but Long Baibu and Chama couldn't sit still. In February, the number of fugitives in the two divisions was 509, in March it was slightly reduced to 463, and in April it was restored to 532.

These fugitives fled frantically by various means, some climbed over mountains and mountains, some lurked beside the road at night, some fell off cliffs, and some drifted down the river......

The house slaves of the two big toasts and the big and small heads took various measures to strictly guard against it, but they still couldn't prevent it. In May, even some of the chiefs' domestic slaves began to flee, how could this be prevented? The leaders couldn't go up with their bows and swords on their own shoulders, right? Not to mention how many roads would they be able to defend even if they went on in person?

If this number continues, 6,000 people will have to run away in the first year, how many will they run away in the second year? What about the third year? The two departments add up to more than 50,000 people, and in less than five years, I am afraid that these big and small people will have to farm and graze on their own land.

The White Horse Courtyard dragged on like this, and Lu Zhike slowly negotiated with the two departments, Danmu and Wanqiu couldn't stand it, and the blunt knife cut the flesh, and the flesh really fell without seeing the blood.

Danmu and Wanqiu sent people to find Meisi, hoping that Meisi would come forward and help meet Abbot Zhao, but Meisi refused. In the past six years since entering the Ming Dynasty, Meisi has never felt relieved like this moment, and secretly praised herself: "Ming people say that those who know the times are handsome, and it seems that I can barely be regarded as a handsome!"
