turn out--
The future Miao king said something simple!
Look, not only have the Miao women retreated, but even the furious chieftain of Wuling Village doesn't dare to cause trouble for Achen anymore.
However, the chieftain still asked, "Achen, what should we do?"
"What to do? Just deal with it!"
Ah Chen said irritably, "Now that I'm here, do you think I'll let Qing Miao live that miserable life I used to live? Sit down and stop nagging."
"Ah Chen, we really don't know what to do now. Anyway, with you here, we'll do whatever you ask us to do. Ideally, we'd like to carry guns and fire cannons. If it weren't for you, we would have already fought them."
"Yeah, Ah Chen, you know, if it weren't for your orders, things would be really lively here."
These village chiefs, who are incredibly fierce and ruthless towards outsiders—the Miao people who dare to fight, kill, and even charge with explosives strapped to their bodies—are now—
The village chiefs were a group of kind and lovable Miao elders.
But the lively conversation they were having startled Lei Zhan and his superior.
It seems that the Miao family's cooperation this time was entirely thanks to Mu Achen.
Ah Chen glanced at the chieftains and said, "Alright, everyone stop interrupting! Chief Chief, what's going on with the Qingmiao people? Why is Tan County talking about homemade cannons, explosives, and detonators?"
While pouring wine for Achen, Chief Yang Aqi said, "We Qingmiao have more than thirty homemade cannons, and the explosives, detonators, and so on have been counted. We have already told Tan County and those green-skinned people where each village should put them. It's their own fault for not taking them. It's not our business."
Upon hearing this, Lei Zhan and his superiors were on the verge of tears.
Lei Zhan stepped forward and said, "Chief Yang, you're all right, but inside—"
"It's full of bugs."
Those weren't ordinary insects, but a dense swarm of poisonous insects of all kinds.
The key point is that those insects seem to listen to you Miao girls.
They hate us; if we dare to get close, they'll surely retaliate.
"They're just bugs. You're all seasoned veterans. Just burn them."
cough cough--
A fire?
Those are explosives and detonators, Miao chieftain.
Lei Zhan's expression was priceless.
Ah Chen, who was drinking with Tan County, also understood.
Ah Chen put down his bowl and said, "Alright! I think I understand now."
"Today, the chief of the various villages of the Qingmiao branch are in Balong Ancient Village. After dinner, the chief will arrange for everyone to gather for a meeting."
…
Night fell.
The atmosphere in Balong Ancient Village was somewhat strange.
Amidst the celebration, there seemed to be a touch of melancholy.
So after the meal, all the village chiefs went into the side room of the ancestral hall.
Only the elite core Miao people from each village remained in Balong Ancient Village to await the outcome of the meeting.
In the house.
The place was packed with village chiefs and elders from the Qingmiao branch, as well as the core group of Miao people.
Tan Xian, Lei Zhan, and their superiors were also invited by A Chen to participate in this meeting.
During the meeting, Ah Chen only gave one instruction.
That means cooperating with the government and paying everything that was due.
"After the meeting, each village will make arrangements. I don't want to hear any more about resistance related to firearms after dawn tomorrow."
"Sisters, make arrangements and remove all those things. Don't follow the chieftains and cause trouble."
"In addition, don't leave any of those cannons with high destructive power. Mark them carefully and let the armed forces tow them away themselves."
"Except for Balong Ancient Village, all other villages that possess firearms should hand them over. Don't keep them for yourself."
The villages were very reluctant to part, but they—
They couldn't disobey the future Miao King's words, because they believed that the Miao King must have his reasons and plans for doing so, and wouldn't ignore the Qingmiao people.
Therefore, the village chiefs all said they would make arrangements soon, but their faces still looked worried.
But Tan County and the armed forces were happy.
Although they knew that as long as Mu Achen intervened, there would be no problem, they still underestimated how much the Miao people revered their future Miao king.
Ah Chen took in the worried looks on the faces of the village chiefs and said in a serious tone, "If you're still not satisfied, take those things out and throw them at the entrance of the village, let the guards set them off themselves, are you satisfied now?"
"Or, how about we just throw them in the fields and let them pick them up themselves? Would that work?"
"Okay! Let's do it this way."
The village chiefs surprisingly agreed in unison.
This has left Tan County and his people with very mixed feelings.
but--
They remained grateful to Mu Achen.
If Mu Achen hadn't spoken up, the government and the military wouldn't have been able to get a satisfactory result so quickly in this matter.
But one of the village chiefs still asked, "Achen, if we hand it all over, what will we do afterward?"
"I have made arrangements for this matter, so all villages can rest assured. Just do this well first, and remember, don't keep anything to yourself."
actually--
Ah Chen has his own ideas!
Since he told Qingmiao about this matter last year, it wasn't until those days in Gangcheng when the Second Elder called that Achen talked to Amo in detail about why they needed to cooperate in handing over the muskets from the Miao villages outside of Balong Ancient Village.
Because this is not decades ago, or even ancient times.
Firearms are outdated in this era.
What happened in Hunan Province a few years ago was a bloody lesson, wasn't it?
Moreover, keeping the muskets would be very detrimental to the future development of the Miao people, and even the entire Miao region, because apart from Balong Ancient Village, other Miao villages are not recognized.
The Miao people live in eastern Guizhou, numbering in the millions!
