"Cao Miao Answers Nan Barbarian's Odes" Tang Dynasty: Hu Zeng
—I am the dividing line —
In the back house of the Metropolitan Government, a privately held tea party is being held in the greenhouse garden remodeled with a large piece of flat glass that has just been put into production.
"What, Qianzhou observation made Gaotai not want to do it. He wants to ask for a kindness to return home after surrendering? What's the situation?"
Zhou Huaian, who got the news, couldn't help but stunned:
Qianzhou (now Pengshui County, Sichuan Province) includes Qianzhong Road (to the south of Enshi in Hubei Province, to the west of Yuanling in Hunan Province, and to the north of Zunyi and Tongren in Guizhou Province.) In addition to several northern prefectures, there is a Datang government office. In addition to the name, most of the affairs including the garrison, civil affairs, and financial planning have been transferred to the hands of the people sent by the Taiping Army.
The reason is also very simple, because Qianzhong Road, as the least existential place among the Datang roads, lost the Xieji from Hunan, Jiannan Sanchuan and other places allocated by the imperial court. It only relied on the local military and civilians. The people and the naturalized natives who were several times more than this, began to struggle with all kinds of struggling to support it.
On the one hand, there were also envoys from Xichuan who declared tribute and contributions. On the other hand, those borderline children who were poorly clothed and the Long March athletes were all thinking about returning. However, the local barbarians are not vegetarian, and there are many remote people everywhere in the mountains. In addition to some of the large ones, they cannot eat or wear. They can only rely on selling local specialties that can only be made from other places, and they cannot be squeezed. How much food will you pay
Therefore, although Gaotai, as an observer, has a way to pacify the people and maintain the local situation, it is a painstaking hand in the military strategy. After cutting off the channel of transportation to the inland, it is even more difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. , And could not hold back the complaints of the generals and generals.
It's just that the local area couldn't find a leader who could be as popular as him, and could barely maintain the situation; moreover, there were still many unnaturalized barbarians and mountain barbarians threatening outside. This has not caused chaos like other places in the interior, expelled or killed it.
Under such internal and external stress, it is simply that those who are in a hurry to go to the doctor can only find a force nearby to take refuge. After the Taiping Army sent people to reopen the Southwest Commercial Road, they were overjoyed and accepted by the other party. They both pretended not to know each other and cooperated fully to reopen the Southwest Tea and Horse Road along the way.
So, what happened later is natural. Since we are going to walk through the ancient tea-horse road and pass through a large area of barbarians, it is natural to have corresponding guards to protect all the goods and goods. Transit camps and warehouses set up for caravans and guards along the way, and even at some key points. The long-term camp is coming.
Then, because of the revitalization of commercial activities and the influx of a large number of foreign biological resources, various supporting and service operations have been followed up at the local level; and various kinds of spontaneously formed wild markets for native and mountain products trading outside the camp. After reaching a certain scale, there will naturally be local officials who conduct limited management and tax collection on it.
Therefore, after the predicament of the Guizhou Province states has eased, most of the local economic lifeline is also infiltrated by foreign trade activities, and in disguise is in the hands of the Taiping Army background business associations. The Qianzhou Observation Envoy Gao Tai was also a wonderful person. He simply summoned the leaders of the merchant group and the caravan, according to their range of activities and distance, and rewarded them in batches.
As a result, the people sent by the Taiping Army in the past were able to gain a more justifiable activity status in the local area; coupled with the well-trained and well-trained guards they possessed; even in the face of savage robberies and conflicts in the savage mountains and barbarians. It can also be defeated by an outnumbered enemy. These caravan caravans have gradually become a strong support for the local government with empty strength, and have gradually replaced them to maintain the functions of prevention and tax collection.
Later, some unwilling tribes who were unwilling to lose their interests or had deep grievances united and gathered at the junction of Yizhou (present-day Guizhou Suiyang), Bozhou (present-day Guizhou Zunyi) and Zhenzhou (present-day Guizhou Yelang) After a crowd of 30,000, they invaded Feizhou (now Sinan, Guizhou), an important town in the hinterland of Guizhou Road, and surrounded the city of Fuchuan where only more than 500 old and weak soldiers were stationed.
After the Qianzhou Observatory passed through Fengsui's police, they did not have enough troops to go to rescue, or even the Ziliang who re-convened Ding Zhuang and Kaipa could not be taken out. Instead, they could only send an envoy to ask for help in Jiangling secretly. Armed with these volunteer caravans who begged for activities within Qianzhong Road, they could provide cooperation and help nearby.
In the end, Wang Poxian, a large merchant who had a close relationship with the Taiping Army and was selling tea in the local area, immediately took the opportunity to discount the goods as military assets. In Sizhou, which bears the brunt, three thousand armed guards gathered on the spot. More than 5,000 familiar men rushed to help out, and finally took the initiative to raided these native barbarian coalition forces under the city of Fuchuan.
As a result, this apparently hurried sergeant's adventure succeeded in the first battle, because the opponent was more chaotic and disorderly. Therefore, those frontier soldiers who were accustomed to fighting with the southern Lingxi and the Xiyuan barbarians in Annan took the lead. After smashing into them in groups and persevering, they quickly found out that these barbarians were fighting on their own and did not belong to each other. His flaws and weaknesses caused him to be defeated and lost. In the end, a total of eight or nine thousand people were taken prisoners under the city of Fuchuan.
Then, Wang Po and others simply did nothing, and continued to entrust the leader of the school lieutenant Deng Chuna to lead his troops to pursue the victory. Then, with the assistance of the familiar native soldiers who were close to the government, they broke and plundered Zhenzhou in one fell swoop. In many settlements in Bozhou, tens of thousands of horses and cows were confiscated. They continued to fight until the city of Zunyi converged with the local soldiers, besieged and burned the last large village on Furong Mountain.
In response, Lingxi also sent troops again, led by Lu Fang from the Guizhou defense area, personally led five thousand men and horses along the Rongjiang River system to the south of Guizhong Road westward. With the siege troops taking the lead, dozens of villages were burned and destroyed, and tens of thousands were captured. In one fell swoop, the so-called Nanping Road with hundreds of profits was opened up; and Juzhou (now Guiyang City, Guizhou Province), which was surrounded by hordes, was restored, as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Tang who were still holding fast and struggling.
Since then, the north and south groups in the Qianzhong Road have been stunned one after another, and the caravan business travel has become more and more unimpeded. Through the large and small ancient tea-horse roads, Hunan Lingxi Qianzhong has become a line. Of course, as an afterthought, the Qianzhong Observation Envoy's government office can no longer be maintained as a fig leaf that appears to be deaf and dumb.
Therefore, after accepting and relocating part of the long march athletes and overdue officials who had been withdrawn from central Guizhou, the observations in central Guizhou led by Gaotai made the government simply subordinate to the Taiping Army, and everything happened. At every turn, the priority is to ask for instructions from Gangneung. Even when the Taiping Army rushed to help the pass, a symbolic small group of soldiers composed of local children was sent.
However, after this war, Wang Po, who was waiting for the merchants who walked in the middle of Guizhou, discovered a new business opportunity and native product, that is, the local population trade. Unlike Xiyuan or Nanzhao, which are relatively more civilized and organized, the local natives are still between primitive clan and slave tribes, which are quite backward. Therefore, trafficking in surplus people is normal.
Therefore, they just follow the example of Annan’s border defense policy and use some iron and salt as the price to easily drive the familiar barbarians who are close to the government to attack and plunder the raw barbarians who "disobey the king." To create a steady stream of "commodities", on the other hand, it also creates rifts and divisions in the locality, making it impossible to work together to fight the existing regime.
Of course, the Taiping Army has no more spare energy to invest in this direction for the time being, and it is beyond its ability to deal with the "humanitarian disasters" that have occurred in these alienated places. Therefore, it is still the main thing to maintain the status quo for the time being, and even let Gaotai continue to retain the title and banner of the Qianzhou Observatory, and continue to maintain a certain relationship with Xichuan on the bright side. It's just that in this letter from Gao Tai, in addition to his very humble greetings, he also complained a lot.
The main thing is to admit that he has been in this position for a full 14 years, as the so-called "young children are old". The family members who were brought to Ren at the beginning also died of illness and escaped. Although I was lucky enough to survive, I also had a bunch of disease roots on my body. Therefore, those withered and lonely around me want to go back to my hometown and take care of myself for a while. .
Of course, Zhou Huaian was even more suspicious that he was actually frightened by Gao Pian's experience, lest he would follow in his footsteps. After all, he can be regarded as a junior Gao Pian carried in his hand when Annan was in power. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reply:
"Just say it's what I meant, let him stick to it for two or three years, and then give him a decent retirement treatment. By the way, send another doctor who is good at handling health care in the past!"
"However, Lord, Qianzhou will also arrange for someone to take over..."
The military advisor Yang Shigu who was present took the initiative to persuade:
"Well, do you think there are any suitable candidates?"
Zhou Huaian also nodded slightly:
"If you are familiar with Nanban affairs, you should be Qu Lang will take the lead..."
Yang Shigu thought for a while and said:
"Qu Chengyu, I have another purpose that I can't walk away for a while, but gradually going through things in Guizhou requires patience and meticulous work on terrazzo."
Zhou Huaian shook his head and said:
"How about Lieutenant Min, who was born as a soldier of the Long March who has been in charge of many places in Guangxi and Guangxi."
Yang Shigu said again:
"Min Xie can be the deputy and military executor, but the election of the post requires the ability to manage the people, and also has the means to adapt to the situation."
Zhou Huaian nodded again:
"Then I recommend one person, how will Gao Lang of the 10th Army be? It is said that it is also the past in the early years of business travel."
Luo Yin suddenly spoke:
"Gao Jichang? That's him..."
Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered the name, pondered and nodded: Anyhow, it is another Xiaoqiang figure who has a place in the Five Dynasties regime on the historical line, and the coping methods should not be bad.
"In addition, the people from the Southern Associated Press have arrived in Dali City in Nanzhao and sent back the first batch of news..."
Standing by the side, Lu Yan reports: (End of this chapter)
