With the sound of drums being beaten, as the subject of the flag sacrifice, because he took special medicine to relieve pain, his complexion was stiff and described as collapsed. At the moment when the blood spattered on the head amidst the thunderous cries. It was also the time when the nearly Wan Yi Army, with its prosperous lineup, once again sworn into battle.

The reason is that the news of the defense in the northwest has just been urgently reported that the remnants of the Nishihara barbarians have attracted the Nanzhao soldiers to cross the border and plunder. It just so happened that the latest batch of new soldiers from Chaoshan, about two battalions in rotation, also arrived at Bijing Port as scheduled and went upstream to Jiaozhou.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the work of rectification and preparation was completed and the camp was set off; this kind of response efficiency and speed, even those in Jiaozhou City who want to continue to console and discourage people. , All of them are over-reacted or caught off guard.

Following the Daluo city behind him, Zhou Huaian couldn't help sighing again. I was afraid that Wangyi, a big city with more than 100,000 mouths, would be submerged in blood again; but this time there was no need to get dirty. The hand of the soldiers of the rebel soldiers; this is also the last time that they are given to the subordinate armed men headed by Qu Chengyu to express their position and attitude.

Of course, the so-called Nanzhao invasion, which was an introduction to all this, was basically a false news that made a fool of myself and concealed it from the sky.

After the intermittent war with Tang, the Nanzhao Man has already fallen into the decline of “repeated and depleted” in its national power; especially in Jiaozhi more than ten years ago and in Xichuan five years ago. After the fiasco, it even reached the point where men under the age of fifteen were recruited as soldiers and women were allowed to farm instead of men.

Therefore, after the Dadu River battle five years ago, the newly succeeding Nanzhao king Longshun, under the threat of soldiers from Gao Pian, voluntarily handed over the prince to Chang'an to apologize, and served as a proton for the two countries to strike a peace. .

In normal history, as long as the fourth year of Qianning (897), a power minister of the Han surname, Zheng Maisi instructed the army to kill Yang Deng, the king of Nanzhao, Longshun, and the young master Shun Huazhen to make peace. The official status controls the government.

In the second year of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty (902), Zheng Maisi, a consciously full-fledged minister, set up troops to kill the lord Shun Huazhen and more than 800 people of the Nanzhao royal family. Nanzhao was destroyed and replaced by Nanzhao, and the great long peace was established. country.

In the third year of Tang Tiancheng (928) after the Five Dynasties, the Qingping official Yang Ganzhen, who was born in a large family in China, killed the Dachang and the emperor Zheng Longquan, destroyed the Dachang and the country, and supported the Qing official Zhao Shanzheng as the main body, and established the Datianxingguo. In the fourth year of Tiancheng in the late Tang Dynasty (929), Yang Qianzhen abolished Zhao Shanzheng to stand on his own, and changed the name of the country to Dayining, and established Yuan Xingsheng.

Then, in the second year of Tianfu in the later Jin Dynasty (937), Duan Siping, an envoy of Tonghai Jiedu, joined the 37th Department of Eastern Yunnan to march into Yangjumei City to defeat the Yang family, and establish the Duan family's Dali regime, which is more familiar to later generations. During this period, with the fall of the Xiaoba in this area of Nanzhao, these related Southwestern barbarians also fought in chaos, and for a long time they were unable to take care of the land.

This is the biggest difference and gap between the great unified dynasty of the Central Plains with a long history, and those of the nine borders and four barbarians, which are swirling and extinct or short-lived, between the barbarians and the local regimes; whether it is the Eastern and Western Turks of the early Tang Dynasty, Koguryo , Or the Nanzhao, Tubo and the like in the middle and late period, but also can't escape this similar fate and ending.

With enough human, material and resources to produce, even if he suffers more losses and suffers heavy losses, he can always recover his blood; but the opponent cannot bear several failures, and it will be difficult for him to fall into famine and civil strife. . Therefore, in the end, the disparity in national power was compared, and any object that tried to challenge was put to death.

After Nanzhao’s troops were dismantled due to internal troubles many years ago, the main enemy in Annan was the Xiyuan Man in Guang, Rongzhinan, Yong, and Guangxi. There were Huang Clan, Wei Clan, Zhou Clan, and Nong Clan. Waiting for the chiefs of the majority to occupy one side; the Luo's tribe defeated before is just a new and powerful chief among them that arises from time to time.

Since the defeat and the loss of most of the forces and the disappearance of the current chief of the ministry, it has long been disintegrated and separated in the mountainous neighbors fighting for territory, in the confrontation and the difficulties, and the civil strife. It is just that the blood of all parties has been killed; There was no spare force to attract Nanzhao soldiers into the bandits.

However, in the later Northern Song Dynasty, there was a Nong Zhigao who was driven out by the Jiaozhi regime. He smashed Guangnan Road and besieged Guangzhou, and finally relied on the famous general Di Qing to settle down again.

Soon after the Nong Zhigao rebellion was put down, the Song Dynasty and the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty broke out in the Song Yue Xining War. After the war, Emperor Zhao Xu of Song Shenzong gave Jiaozhi to Guangyuan Prefecture (now Daxin County in Guangxi to Qixi in Langshan, Vietnam) on the grounds of "wildness" and "miasma" and the remoteness of Guangyuan Prefecture (now Daxin County in Guangxi to Qixi in Langshan, Vietnam).

This kind of feat, which is known as the emperor and Song Dynasty and the prosperous era of cutting the soil, simply prevents the victory of Zhennanguan against France, and the cemetery of the Qing Dynasty is better than the latter.

According to the news from the mountains, these old-fashioned tribes, who occupy large tracts of land and minerals in the Yujiang (Zuojiang River) basin, have no plans to go out of the plains to confront the rebels that are currently under construction; instead, they have no plans to confront the rising force of Luo Family. The land and foundation left behind have an attitude that is determined to win.

They even sent private messengers down the river to the newly built strongholds built by the rebels at the mouth of the river and the mountain. On the one hand, I hope to use the products in the mountains and the area from Guangzhou to Huzhou, and the newly-emerged rebel forces will exchange trade. On the other hand, it also provides a lot of evidence of the collusion between Luo Shiman and Nanzhao. Most of Roche can die more thoroughly.

Therefore, to create an illusion that the Nanzhao barbarians are invaded, it is not too simple. . . .

The next time flew by, and another month and a half passed in a flash.

In the southernmost part of the 13 states of Annan, Tanglin State (present-day Chengtian Hue Province in central Vietnam), on a small mound in the coastal plain; many barebacked natives are digging around a big hole. . Baskets of newly turned mud and stones are transported out like running water, and stacked into low walls.

"Is this Ma Fubo's Zhennan Copper Pillar... It's been a thousand years in a blink of an eye..."

Zhou Huaian sighed as he looked at the dark green mottled object that had been exposed from the rocks and mud in front of him.

Then, the copper pillars were renovated and protected. Fortunately, when the Nishihara Man Luo family was defeated before, a large number of bronze wares were seized and there were still a lot of surpluses; then a stone monument was routinely erected on the side as a memento;

After all, looking for this kind of relic that proves China's sovereignty since ancient times, and leaving his mark on the side, is also one of the few leisure pleasures he has now when he is marching in Annan.

In fact, in retrospect, Qu Chengyu did a better job than Zhou Huaian expected. Therefore, he didn’t even have a chance to use some of the prepared remedies and the mistakes made by the mountain. It's over, except that there are a lot of dead people.

Within three days of the rebels' expedition, unexpected changes occurred in Jiaozhou City. Some people raised troops in the inner city to fight against the rebellion, playing the banner of revenge for Zeng Kun, and took all the nearby rich people's residences into Baoguan, and then began to attack the government office and set fire to the market.

Although this farce-style rebellion was quickly suppressed by the superior number of native soldiers in the city, it was only a prologue that had just begun. Because in the strongholds where these insurgents originated, many important evidences were found; including the sources of weapons and materials pointing to many of the people in the city, as well as the correspondence written by the former puppet guard Zeng Gun, and the invader Xiyuan Barbarian. Letters of private collusion.

Then, in the thick blood of the heads of the murdered people; the Wei and Rao in the city as the leaders have experienced the Nanzhao invasion and the turmoil, several regime changes have still stood tall, and have always stood behind the scenes at the corresponding cost. The veteran clans and surnames who laughed at the situation, along with more relatives, clansmen, tribes and family members who vassalized them, all fell under the butcher knife held by the powerful emerging local powers headed by the Qu clan.

In the end, in addition to the numerous slaves and maidservants who have other uses, only women and children who are still unaware of things are spared, but waiting for their fate is to board the ship as a sinner and go to Guangzhou to complete the rest of their lives in a foreign land. Up.

Although in the end there may be some male species left behind, such as tribes living in other places, or remote sects living in distant villages, they were able to escape; but they all have little effect on the subsequent situation and situation; And even if some of them want to take risks to avenge and counterattack in the future, they have to survive the rebels and attach themselves to the armed forces, and the new and powerful families who can get to the top can liquidate and recourse.

The sequelae of this incident is the faintly created opposition and separation between the new and old gentry and powerful families in Jiaozhou, which can only be reconciled and balanced by the rebels; and as the initiator and leader of all this, it attracts Qu Chengyu, who had suffered a lot of hatred, was also vaguely cut off a certain possibility in Annan's future.

But as the immediate positive effects and reactions, they are also very strong and immediate; for example, the rebels promoted roads and ditches, collected grains, abolished customs and cards, redeemed slaves and maidservants, relieved the poor, checked household registration, and measured fields. After a series of measures to improve people's livelihood and the economic environment, the obstacles encountered both inside and outside Jiaozhou have been greatly reduced.

In other words, in this era, the degree of resistance and psychological thresholds of the local gentry and the common people are actually maintained in the hands of the so-called "hometown wishes" and "public sentiments" that are dominated (represented) by these local gentry. As long as it can be cut off and eradicated cleanly, the psychological deterrence caused by terrorist means alone will be able to continue to maintain the rule.

Therefore, in the local area, the rebels sold a batch of captured native barbarians as servants; and at the cost of redeeming many of the city’s slaves and maids as civilians, the number of Zaisedingkou in Jiaozhou City suddenly increased by two. Thirty thousand.

Of course, the redemption provided by the rebels is not free; on the one hand, things that are too easy to get may not be cherished, or free things do not make people grateful for long; on the other hand, they are semi-compulsive. An opportunity for them to adapt and relearn the means of earning a living;

In this way, it will not become a new social problem and hidden danger because of the lack of livelihood. This is also the experience and mature model learned during the period when the tide was circulating in the various states and Cantons.

These slaves and maids who were interpreted as civilians had to work for several years in the workshops or workshops of the rebels, and in the coastal farms and ports, before they could be regarded as ransom money paid for by the clearing of the field; and then in the process, They, who originally lacked means of livelihood, naturally became fettered and involved with the rebels, and they have a high probability of staying or becoming a group that the rebels support in the future.
