Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1437 Insights
Although Annan has been "belonging to the north" for thousands of years, just like there are a large number of Jimizhou tribes in the southwest, northwest, and northeast, the Annan people do not consider themselves Han, Liang, Sui, or Tang...

For example, in the Han Dynasty, Li Qinshi from Jiaozhi was the captain of Sili, and Zhang Zhong from the South of Japan was the prefect of Jincheng. In the time of Emperor Ling, he was the governor.

During the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, Bingshao, a native of Jiaozhi, was "rich in rhetoric, and he chose to seek officials."The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Cai Yi, had no previous sages with the same surname, except Guangyang porch.Ashamed of Shao, he returned to his hometown, raised troops from Li Bi, captured Jiaozhou, and Xiao Zi ran away.

It can be seen that their hearts are very sensitive and they care about their identities very much.

The reason is that it is still not developed enough.Promoting a certain Jijizhou as a Zhengzhou is not entirely sufficient, and a lot of supporting work is required-Bozhou was a Zhengzhou in the Tang Dynasty, but there are still a large number of Zangman tribes in the state that are in a state of autonomy.

After reading through the documents about Vietnam, Shao Shude basically came to the conclusion: without a thoroughly digested territory, it is just a map to open up borders and enjoy it.

"Jiang Qing, besides the Jiang family in Aizhou, what other big families are there in Annan?" Shao Shude summoned Jiang Zhiwei in the Linbo Pavilion, and went straight to the point.

In addition to secretary Lang Cui, there was Qin Wang Shao Chengjie present.Jiang Zhiwei saluted one by one.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Li family, Li family, Liao family, Du family, and Huang family in Jiaozhou, Luo family, and Ruan family in Fengzhou are also big families." After Jiang Zhiwei finished speaking, he introduced these big families in detail.

Some of them are Vietnamese aborigines, some of them immigrated from the Central Plains, and they can be regarded as influential figures in the local area.

Shao Shude looked at the map, and they were mainly concentrated in the Red River Delta, and they were located inland, not in the coastal area.

This surprised him who was used to seeing the colonial process of later generations.Western colonists came from the sea, so they first colonized the coastal areas, and then followed the rivers to go deep into the inland.China directly selects the internal areas suitable for farming to colonize, and abandons the coastal tidal flats.

This is the difference between sea colonization and land colonization.

Jiaozhou, Fengzhou, and Aizhou along the coast are basically the core sites of the former Tang Dynasty in Annan. They are roughly located in Hanoi, Phu Tho, and Thanh Hoa in today's Vietnam. They are surrounded by Jimi indigenous people like isolated islands.

The Sinicized area is surrounded by barbarians. This colonial situation is indeed a bit sinister-the Li people (or Li people) are one of the indigenous peoples distributed in the Wuguan area.

"The Du clan of Jiaozhou, but Du Shenyan's tribe back then?" Shao Shude asked.

Du Shenyan was once exiled in Fengzhou and wrote the poem "Traveling in Annan".

In addition to Du Shenyan, Shen Quanqi was also exiled in Huanzhou (now Rongshi, Vietnam), and wrote poems such as "First Arrival in Huanzhou" and "Du'anhai Entering the Dragon".

"No. He is a descendant of Du Huidu in the Jin Dynasty."

"The former Tang Annan's recruiting deputy envoy, Du Yingce, is he from his family?"

"It's nothing more than Du Yingce's attachment to the Du family. He was born in the chieftain of Xidong. However, the descendants of Du Yingce are also members of the Jiaozhou clan, with a large number of tribes."

"Are there any people from these families among the envoys of the Annan states this year?" Shao Shude asked again.

"Yes, someone from the Jiaozhou Du family served as the envoy of the Jiaozhou court and came to Beijing, and they lived in the Jinzuo courtyard." Jiang Zhiwei replied.

"Send people back to Annan and summon the children of these rich families to Beijing to meet them." Shao Shude said.

"I obey the order." Jiang Zhiwei replied.

He understood that the sage was going to investigate these families to see if there was any possibility of reuse.Once the blue eyes are added, not to mention rewards, official positions are possible.

In addition, he also vaguely guessed whether the convening of these big clans had something to do with the recently rumored imperial examination rankings?The sage wants to see the level of literati in the Annan states, so as to determine the number of admissions?
"Take care of this matter as soon as possible, I will wait." Shao Shude finally said.

Jiang Zhiwei bowed and left.

******
"What's my opinion on this?" Shao Shude asked after Jiang Zhiwei retreated.

The palace people removed the previous tea and snacks, and brought a new batch, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

"Grandpa, the Tu people in Annan are waiting and watching." Shao Chengjie is 25 years old this year. After so many years of experience, he is much calmer and has a more comprehensive view of problems.

"How do you wait and see?" Shao Shude asked.

"If the imperial court fails to destroy Liu Yin, it will cause the Wuguan Tu nationality and barbarians to despise him, and Annan's tyrants will follow suit." Shao Chengjie said.

"So sure?"

"I've seen too many of these natives." Shao Chengjie said confidently: "In the past when Li Maozhen was challenged, the barbarians from all states were watching. If the king's master was defeated, they would rebel, and even if Maozhen won A miserable victory, unable to control them, only to appease them. These barbarians are ambitious to earn benefits from both sides between Daxia and Nanzhao."

"Ambition is there, but it's not that big." Shao Shude said with a smile.

Border barbarians have always had their own philosophy of survival, and grass is an important skill.The more powerful leaders not only accepted the canonization of the Central Plains, but also did not refuse the official positions given by Tubo and Nanzhao, and because of their unique geographical location, they did not have to pay taxes, did not have to perform military service, and sometimes received large rewards.

Chief Hao, whose wrist is not so good, is offering confession at both ends, which is miserable.

It is good to go out and practice. Erlang has seen the virtues of these people with his own eyes, enriched his knowledge system, and will have his own judgment in the future, not just what the officials say.

Some emperors and officials believed everything they said, not because he was stupid, but because he really didn't understand, really didn't know.Most of the information he got was filtered before being submitted, and he lacked his own understanding and judgment, which was helpless.

Perhaps this is the reason for the Daxing spy politics, because the emperors live in the deep palace, and the information channels are limited.

"You also read the military newspaper in Guangzhou, how about it?" Shao Shude asked again.

The armies from all walks of life encircled and suppressed the Qing navy, and only experienced a few decent battles at the beginning. For example, Wang Shenzhi attacked Chaozhou, and there were more than ten battles, which were quite fierce, although the fighting level may not be very high.

However, after the initial battle, the main force of the Qing navy suffered serious losses and had to retreat to the vicinity of Guangzhou.So people from all walks of life advanced one after another, and other states and counties that were abandoned surrendered one after another, and even fought back.

By the end of November, people from all walks of life had arrived in the suburbs of Guangzhou, and the encirclement was already quite obvious.

Liu Yin is basically finished, and now he is a futures dead man.

The news from the south has been delivered to Beiping Mansion through the urgent post, and Shao Chengjie has naturally seen it.At this time, my father mentioned it and said: "The Fujian soldiers are actually capable of fighting. They were all formed after the Henan soldiers went south. The five-management military management is not as good as Wen Tianwuxi. It is okay, but the others, I don't think so." .”

His eyes are now higher.

He enlisted in the army in the middle of Shu, and produced more than 15 soldiers and horses at once. He was "bad" with Li Maozhen, who had the same large-scale explosion. In the end, it took several years to rely on the quality of the "less bad" troops and a few elite soldiers and horses. , defeated the various separatist forces of Sanchuan in turn, captured and forced to land more than [-] troops.

However, these temporary bursts of soldiers could not be seen by him at all. Counting Li Maozhen's surrendered soldiers close to 20, only [-] were selected in the end, and the rest were dismissed.

These [-] Shu soldiers were powerful and powerful in central Guizhou, winning consecutive battles and improving their military quality, but in his opinion, they were still far behind the Forbidden Army.

Shu soldiers who have experienced many years of war are like this. He doesn't think the Wuguan and Fujian soldiers and horses that have been in Taiping for many years are worth seeing.He insisted on picking out the tallest among the dwarfs. He thought that the Fujian soldiers were even better. After all, Wang Chao and his gang were all Cai thieves. Not bad——Wang Huadu, the nephew of Wang Shenzhi's family, went down from the southwest of Huaihe to defect. As soon as he entered the battle, he went straight to Liu Yan's main battle, killing seven of his relatives and followers, forcing Liu Yan to flee in a hurry, and the whole army was defeated.

"I'm just asking you about the situation in Guangzhou, don't talk about it." Shao Shude said.

Shao Chengjie smiled awkwardly, and said: "Father, Liu Yin will definitely be defeated. He is not a highly prestigious martial artist, but after Li Zhirou's death, all parties refused to accept the other, and finally compromised with each other and released him as a character. If you go to fight , kick this guy's ass twice, and he won't be able to get up."

"It's such a foolish look to talk to warriors all day long." Shao Shude frowned.

Your father hangs out with talented girls, and he listens to you when he speaks, and he doesn't learn a little bit.

However, although the words are a bit rambunctious, they are full of insight, and Erlang is a sensible person.

"Da Chi Zhuan has been captured by me, and the next one seems to be Liu Yin. After defeating Guangzhou, Wuguan will stop the town, Jiedu envoys will enter the court, and there will be Ma Yin and Yang Wo behind. It is not difficult to predict..." Shao Shude said happily: "Everything in the world is here."

"The princes have come to the west one after another, and I congratulate Your Majesty." Cui Yan put down the pen and paper and cupped his hands.

"Haha!" The smile on Shao Shude's face spread, and then he looked at his son and said, "After the Chinese New Year, you will go to Ezhou to preside over the war against Ma Yin. I will give you two forbidden troops, and Hengye, The Guangjie Second Army and the five-managers will also cooperate in the attack, trying to wipe out the forces of Ma Yin in one fell swoop."

"Of course." Shao Chengjie said excitedly.

Gui Guan (Jingjiang Army) among the five Guans was under the control of Ma Yin, so it needed Lingnan West Road and Ningyuan Army to attack together, and perhaps Guang Guan surrendered troops.

"After the beating, don't come back in a hurry, and comfort the people in Hunan." Shao Shude said again: "Take your wife to Ezhou too. He is 25 years old and has no heirs. How can he be decent?"

"Yes." Shao Chengjie replied honestly.

In the next few days, Shao Shude will be waiting for the New Year.

At this moment, he received two news one after another: Gao Renhou and Ye Li Jingchen died of illness one after another.

For this, he could only sigh.

Those who followed me 30 years ago were basically in the range of 50-70 years old.People have birth, old age, sickness and death, there is no way.

Even him, he will be 52 this year, and he will be 53 after the new year.

There are fewer and fewer people accompanying him, but he will firmly go on this road until the end of his life.
