Unsatisfactory things are often eight or nine, but they are the same as the whispers.
Knowing himself that Jingmen Zicaifu, Mengchi Iron Horse fights south of the city.
"Bie Zicai Commander" Song Dynasty: Fang Yue
—I am the dividing line —
As the first sun on the high pole evaporates the last remaining dew, the noise of interaction between the earth platforms and the battlefields and the head of Guangling City once again makes the huge city lively. Although it is still in the stalemate stage of besieging the city and not attacking, it does not mean that the besieged Taiping troops can do nothing.
Especially those high platforms and wooden towers are filled with popping sound and smoke. The city’s head is also the guards with screams or bloody corpses from time to time, falling from the city’s head like fallen leaves. Fall down. There were also those who couldn't resist trying to throw their shots in order to counterattack, but they were hit without hesitation on the exposed hands, feet, head and shoulders, blood spattered and then fell back.
Echoing it are the large slings that smashed down on the head of the city from time to time in the camp under the city, or the crossbow bolts that are enough to penetrate the rear baffle of the city. Unexpectedly, there was a jar filled with fierce kerosene, and in the middle of the city, there was a fierce and stern black smoke, and the human body was tumbling and burning into one piece.
However, the operators of the Taiping Engineering Camp in the preset position under the city are so methodical and step-by-step, repeating the operations day after day; it is like using dripping stones to kill the city a little bit. The patience, spirit and morale of the head defenders; until they can't stand it, they will be replaced by a new wave.
And within the projection range of the city’s bows, arrows and gunstones, there are also cobweb-like trenches that are constantly expanding and extending with the efficiency of the naked eye in the various movements of plowing the soil like flying. Some of the trenches have been dug, and they are soaked in the moat water flowing in, but there are still more trenches with water-retaining wooden boards reappearing in a new day.
The only opportunity for the defenders to take the initiative to counterattack is to wait for the night harassment battle after dark. However, with the extension and expansion of these ravines, the exchange rate of night attacks and harassment has become more and more unworthy; instead, the Taiping Army gunmen began to target the torches patrolling at night, which is within the range of traditional crossbows. A new round of countermeasures outside.
—I am the dividing line —
In Gangneung City, as a side show before the official opening of the National Games, it was the last batch of Tuman tribes in Hunan, such as Feishanman and Meishanman, to formally surrender.
Among them, Feishanman came from Shaozhou (now Shaoyang, Hunan), also known as Feishandongman. Feishan Donglio, Xuzhou Man, Wuganglio and so on. It is named because of the Feishan. It is said that it is named because of the residents flying across the mountains. Qin was called Qianzhong Man, and Han was called Wuling Man. There are currently four major "barbarian chiefs" (also known as "shoushou"):
One is Pan Jinsheng, known as Pan Dahu, according to the Eight Dongs in the Southeast, with Feishandong as the center; the other is Yang Chenglei, known as Yang Shenyong, according to the Five Dongs in the Southwest, with Jinpingdong as the center, often united with Pan Jinsheng; the third is Changshi Yi, according to the Northeast Sandong; fourth, Yang Zaisi, who respects Yang Taigong, according to the Northwest Fourth Dong, with Langxidong as the center.
The Meishan Man came from Xuzhou (now Xinhua, Anhua, Loudi City, Hunan). It was called "Jing Man" in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, "Changsha Man" in Han Dynasty, "Mo Mi" in Sui Dynasty, and "Meishan Man" in Tang Dynasty. , Can be regarded as another big native community with sturdy local folk customs. (It is also one of the ancestors of the Miao and Dong nationalities in later generations)
"Meishan Man" is also divided into ten dongs, and the leader is called "Left Jia Leader", "Right Jia Leader", or "Dong Lord", "Dong Chang" and so on. Dongmin has the surnames Fu, Su, Xiang, Lan, Qing, Zhao, Bu, etc., as well as foreign surnames who moved to Meishan to escape the war, such as Chen, Zou, Liu, and Luo.
They used to live all year round on the banks of the river gorge with high mountains and dense forests, but relying on many broken mountain valleys and river banks, small plots of land are clustered around dongs, and farming is combined with animal husbandry and hunting for their livelihoods; but because of the local The production is relatively monotonous and scarce, and daily necessities such as salt, iron and silk cloth require external input.
Therefore, the exchanges with the Tang Dynasty are relatively close, and the degree of civilized language and customs is higher than those of the Nishihara barbarian who are independent and independent. It's just that when the age is not good, many of the strong and powerful people will regularly go out to the mountains to "make a living" under the leadership of the leader of the village. Such as participating in trafficking and selling coolies.
But if the local government is mediocre or incompetent or weak to be deceived, there will be some people who turn into bandits who engage in businessless transactions and join the corresponding water thief and mountain gangs. When encountering a more powerful official in charge, they will naturally succumb to their subordinates and become obedient people who work hard and bitterly, and even take the initiative to join the army and serve as soldiers.
Therefore, the defenders and commanders of Jinghu in the past dynasties generally recruited some of these brave and skilled savages to fill the army lineup or defend the field or Yanbian. Just like the expeditionary army that Gao Pian regained Annan back then, there were these Hunan barbarians.
One of the most famous is the barbaric soldier Mazhu Xiangzhu, who once served under the command of Jingnan Jiedu when he was a high-level official, and later fled from Huainan to the Lizhou separatist side. It is also one of its branches. One of Shimenman (now Shimen Tujia Autonomous County) was born. .
According to the normal historical trajectory, it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that the county government was initially established in the local area, and then it was during the development of the vast lake at the turn of the Song Dynasty that it was completely incorporated into the direct rule of the traditional government with the military reclamation and peace. However, in this time and space, they encountered an unprecedented strange flower of the Taiping Army.
Following the defeat of Xiangzhu and other forces that originally ruled the three states of western Hunan, Shimen and other places, which were former Xiangzhu’s lair and foundation, were occupied by Duan Yanmo, deputy envoy of Jiedu from Jingnan, who was killed locally. G. Pan Jinsheng and Yang Chenglei, the strongest among the Four Chiefs of Feishan, also lost a large number of Dongding and Qingzhuang in the process.
Seeing that these two families will inevitably decline, the great chieftain Shiyi from Sandong Northeast took the opportunity to attack, and joined forces with another great chief, Yang Zaisi, to defeat the two steadily fighting; Yang Chenglei relied on the foundation of his hometown. As a result, Pingdong was breached and had to flee to Feishandong.
However, at this time, the pursuit troops of the Taiping Army deep into the upper reaches of Lishui also appeared in front of them for the first time. As a native chieftain, Chang Shiyi still wanted to negotiate with the Taiping Army, and at the cost of surrendering Pan and Yang's clansmen in name, to continue to maintain the previous status quo. However, the pursuit unit led by Qu Chengyu taught them a lesson by practical means.
They blasted and exploded in one fell swoop with the accumulated engineering explosives. The Feishan Dadong, where Pan was located, was on the Panshan Road, using towering trees to desperately set up multiple obstacles. Then he used the projector to ignite the wall of Dadong Village as a cover, and sent the small car full of explosives to the door, and blasted it together with the obstruction and Manding behind it.
The next thing was when the morale of these brutal soldiers collapsed thousands of miles away. With the largest scale and the strongest strength, the largest population and the largest population (more than ten thousand mouths), the Feishan Dadong, which was defeated by the mountain gorge, was attacked, and almost all the old, weak, young and strong were captured. This became the new security of the Taiping Army. Huazhen.
The surviving Dongzhai in the surrounding area was also shaken and frightened by it. Therefore, they finally signed a similar showdown, Dingzhuang, repairing the road, accepting the control of the government to pay the land tax and regular corvee, free trade and so on. During this period, they experienced the attack of Chang Shiyi and the robbery of the caravan. But it was defeated by the follow-up crusade troops led by Wu Xingchen.
Therefore, under the military offensive of the Taiping Army, economic blockade and the persuasion of the people’s livelihood, it took several years to navigate and digest the savages in these territories, and then Feishan at the junction of Shaozhou, Langzhou and Lizhou The hundreds of miles of the most representative Feishan Dadong area at the core were brought into normal control.
As the last remaining great chieftain Yang Zaisi among the Feishan Barbarians, he chose another way of understanding current affairs. Not only did they send people to intercept and capture the fugitive Chang Shiyi and his remnant party, but after the Taiping Army suppressed Jiangdong, they gradually handed over the census register of the subordinate Dongzhai, and claimed that they would return to the secluded township and only begged for their children. It's just a future.
And Yang Zaisi and the hundreds of relatives who came with him will settle down and settle in Jiangling City; then he himself will be given a title of ethnic affairs, and he will be given a certain level and treatment. And his two sons went to the large seminar room for further studies.
As for Meishanman, whose strength is more dispersed and relatively closed, it is much simpler. Because it was a large-scale ore vein in the later generations, and it was close to the shallow mines on the surface; therefore, after the mountain roads that can be used by pack horses and carts were built, it was easily incorporated into Taiping simply by bartering the ore. The influence of the military and the control system are coming.
Therefore, after this symbolic ceremony, Guzhou, Hu'er, Zhonglin, Liangzhai, Longli, Xinhua, Ouyang, Bazhou, Tanxi, Hongzhou, etc. will be officially established under the Taiping Army’s rule. Ten Many newly established market towns and camps/reclamation areas have come. (End of this chapter)
