Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1521 Please go
Yangjubaa City was caught off guard.

As soon as night fell, the army surged into the city, and then a less intense street fighting broke out.

It wasn't intense, because the defenders had no fighting spirit, and the massacre was almost one-sided.

The vast majority of them were either defeated soldiers who fled all the way back from Yazhou, with low morale and lack of weapons.

Either it was local young men recruited temporarily, but the young men who could fight were also sent away by the Dadu River, and now they are mostly crooked melons and cracked dates.

Either it was the soldiers and horses mobilized by the Daman of the nearby Xi'er River, and they were the ones who did the bad thing this time.

They were the ones who killed the most fiercely.

The chiefs and chiefs have all surrendered. As private minions and slaves, they don't think about who the enemy is and where to fight.

Furthermore, what about the family members on the other side of the Xi'er River?The cavalry of the Xia army arrived in one day. Seeing the mighty and majestic armored cavalry, no one could rise up the idea of ​​resistance.

There is no choice but to take the head of the enemy to atone.Anyway, it was Wuman, and they had nothing to do with Baiman, so killing them was over.

One side's morale was like a rainbow, while the other side had no fighting spirit. The battle soon came to an end.The defenders opened the north gate and fled in a hurry. Shulu Porun, Yang Shihou, He Delun and others led the cavalry to wait upright.

When Zheng Renmin received the news, he was drinking in the palace room.Hearing the news, he burst into tears, and then asked someone to bring a Duo sheath, which inspired the last hundred or so guards to rush to the palace gate together.

There are three gates in the Imperial City of Dali.

The first palace gate has a gate tower with double eaves, and there are bluestone steps on the left and right sides, which are more than two feet high.

At this time, the bluestone steps were covered with corpses. Qiu Zengxiang, the capital of the Falling Goose Army, personally led the Mohe infantry, and fired heavy arrows.

After advancing three hundred steps, he arrived at the second palace gate.

The facade is five rooms wide, and there are two rows of gatehouses with plaques hanging on the left and right, which are the places for officials to work.

When Zheng Renmin rushed out, he collided head-on with Qiu Zengxiang and others.

Under a flurry of arrows, people on both sides fell.But Xia Jun marched head-on, Zheng Renmin's calves were shaking, and he was half sober, and his courage seemed to have disappeared.

"Catch the alive!" Qiu Zengxiang shouted.

The sergeants subconsciously avoided Zheng Renmin when shooting arrows, and shot at the guards repeatedly.

Qiu Zengxiang changed a wooden gallium and went straight to Zheng Renmin.

Zheng Renmin swung the sheath to block, but the movement was soft and slow, as if he was flirting with each other, he was hit by the wooden spear on his shoulder and fell down.

Qiu Zengxiang rushed up, lifted Zheng Renmin who was crying in pain, and laughed loudly: "The false king has been captured."

The sergeants shouted in unison, beheaded the few remaining guards, and then rushed into the third gate.

There are more than two hundred steps between the third palace gate and the second palace gate, and the palace gate has double eaves.Normally, there should have been guards and guards of honor here, but at this time, there was no one there, only palace people screaming in panic and walking around.

Liu Zhiyuan and Xiangli Jin each led hundreds of soldiers and rushed in. When they reached Zhaobi, they encountered more than ten eunuchs holding sharp knives.

Not to mention, anyone with a weapon will be killed.These eunuchs were loyal and brave, but they couldn't resist even for a moment, and soon threw their bodies to the ground.

The Xia soldiers who swarmed in stepped on their corpses, holding bloody sharp knives, and occupied palaces and palaces, including Zheng Renmin's bedroom.

Qiu Zengxiang stepped into the main hall.

This is a majestic hall with a mixed structure of wood and stone. The top is a dense cobweb-like algae well structure without beams, which is very strange to look at.

There are various furnishings in front of it, which are extremely exquisite, and the most conspicuous one is the dragon chair.

The sergeants were packing up everything and moving it away, and he was very moved to see it.

This is the doomsday scene when the country is subjugated, right?
The goods were packaged and shipped away, and became the enemy's military resources.

The wives, daughters and family members went to strange places, and owed favors to the enemy.

Everything that symbolized imperial power was removed, and those that could not be removed were destroyed on the spot.

The country that has been established for more than 160 years has crashed to the ground like this, and all traces of its last existence will also disappear in smoke.

The great power of an emperor lies in gathering crowds. When you can't gather crowds, you will be at the end of the road.

Li Tangbin commanded the troops to pursue the remnants of the enemy, Yan Wang Shao Mingyi moved to the Wuhua Building two miles outside the city, and met with the Changhe officials who were escorted over.

"Back then, Zheng Maisi killed more than [-] members of the Meng family in this downstairs, right?" Shao Mingyi asked, standing in front of the Fang Pavilion downstairs.

In the Nanzhao era, Wuhua Building was a state guesthouse for foreign envoys.There is a pavilion in front of the building, which is adjacent to a square pool. The circumference of the pool is seven li, the depth of the water is several feet, and fish and turtles are raised in it.

It is heard that the blood of the members of the Mongolian royal family at that time dyed the pool red, and the infant child was also cut in half and thrown into the pool.

Zheng Maisi's deeds are so terrific, it's natural to be horrified, so that he has today's end.

However, the Dachang and the complicated situation in the country are also inseparable from this.

"Your Highness, Zheng Maisi did the wrong thing, so he should exhume the grave and flog the corpse." Qingping official Zhao Shanzheng said.

The Zhao family also has a brand-new genealogy. I heard that the prefect is Qinzhou, and he is of the same clan as Concubine Zhao, and they are really good relatives.

Shao Mingyi frowned when he heard this, and didn't say anything.

Zhao Shanzheng observed carefully, feeling as if he had said something wrong.

"Let's not talk about Zheng Maisi's merits and demerits for the time being." Shao Mingyi said, "Only regarding the current situation, what can Mr. Zhao teach me?"

Zhao Shanzheng was praised by the word "Sir", and his face was flushed. He thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness should be quiet and take pictures slowly. In fact, the Nanzhao era did a good job. Xijing You have basically registered as a householder with Qimin, so you can feel at ease."

"what for?"

"It means that no matter how the outside world changes, they will listen to the court. Wuman Mengshi is the king, and they listen to Mengshi. The Han Chinese Zhengshi is the king, and they listen to Zheng. Monarch, they will obey."

Shao Mingyi nodded slightly.

It seems that Nanzhao Kingdom is not doing nothing.Although this country has a large area of ​​tribal areas, at least at the foot of the emperor, the household registration of Qimin is still doing very well.

The people on the Erhai Bazi are relatively high-quality people "within the system". They are managed by the system and can be directly called by the system, provided that the officials in the system recognize you.

Now Xia Jun has made them initially approve by relying on the handle of a sword. If you keep calm in the future, don't cause any troubles. As time goes by, this small system on the Erhai Bazi will gradually embed into the big system of the imperial court and become the center of Great Xia. part.

As a captive, the Zheng family managed seven generations before gaining recognition from the system.It is much easier for the Great Xia court to do things than the Zheng family, and it does not take that long at all.

But—some things, it depends on the person.If you meet an incomprehensible official, even if you rely on the court, you may mess things up, so there is no way to say this.

"Which clan is the majority in Dali? Baiman? Wuman? Or something else?" He asked again.

"Erhai Lake is the place where Wuman dragons prosper, why did Your Highness say that?" Zhao Shanzheng said in surprise, "Only in the vicinity of Xijing City, there are naturally a lot of Wuman, but if it is the entire Dali Mansion, it is hard to say."

Shao Mingyi nodded slightly, understanding.

First of all, we need to understand what is the origin of Nanzhao?
They belong to the Wuman ethnic group of the Yi language branch. After the unification of the Six Edicts, they established their capital in Dali.At that time, Erhai Lake was almost full of Wuman, and the only few Baiman (Heman) were driven to kill and annexed by them.

But things are unpredictable.

In the era of Geluofeng, 20 households of Baiman in Xicuan were forced to move to Dali and Yongchang. This move had a profound impact.

No one realizes that it is never the top-level buildings that determine the ownership of a region, but the number of people at the bottom.

Erhai Lake is obviously the base camp of Wuman and the land of Longxing, but after 160 years, not only did Wuman fail to assimilate Baiman, but more and more Baiman ascended to high positions and even became local big clans.

Not to mention, the Yi-speaking Wuman leader, the Meng family, had been killed by the Han Zheng Maisi, making their situation even worse.

Even Shao Mingyi, an outsider, can tell that Baiman's rise is quite obvious.If the imperial court does not take action, sooner or later the Erhai Lake will be far away from the Yi-speaking ethnic group, and the "entry" of the Baiman family in the Xi'er River is almost certain-it is already obvious what ethnic group Dali belongs to later generations.

The so-called Dachanghe Kingdom established by the Zheng Han people is actually just a transition.They have no roots, and they cannot unite the people who speak the Yi language, so Erhai Lake will fall into the hands of Bai Man sooner or later.

Such is the general trend.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhao Shanzheng and said, "The situation in Dali depends on Mr. Lai and others."

"Where is it?" Zhao Shanzheng said happily.

He also heard what King Yan said before.There are advantages and disadvantages in recommending them, the chiefs of the barbarians of the Xi'er River, to serve in the court.

He has briefly studied the situation in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and he knows that the children of aristocratic families who become officials in the dynasty can feed back the family where the prestige is located and increase the influence of the family.

But there are also disadvantages, that is, leaving the old nest, everything is inconvenient.It is difficult to react in time to what happened in my hometown.Moreover, they are officials in other places, and they are like hostages. If they want to do something at home, they have to worry about their safety-if someone really rebels, the court will kill them.

But is there a choice now?
The imperial court did seal many native officials, and most of them were in places where the birds didn't shit.But it seems that Dali Mansion is going to be directly under the central government of Zhengzhou, and they will lose the opportunity to be hereditary native officials.

what to do?Do you resist?What about the tribal people in the Xi'er River?If they were confident that they could beat Xia Bing, they would not have surrendered.

There may also be an option to migrate further afield.But under the eyes of Xia Ren, it seems that it can't work either.I'm afraid they didn't run dozens of miles before they were chased by the pursuers, one by one, hacked to death and thrown the corpses in the Xi'er River, and fed the fish and turtles.

If you want to do anything, at least you have to wait until Xia Bing is gone.

"The memorial to recommend you to be officials has been sent to the court, there should be no problem, just wait for the good news." Shao Mingyi said.

Through some conversations with Zhao Shanzheng, he has made up his mind that he must not let those monsters and monsters outside the Erhai Bazi disturb the registered households in Xijing "inside the system".

People like Zhao Shanzheng who have great influence in the local area are determined to ask him to leave.Even if the Xi'er River tribe is still there for a while, the problem is not too big.

If you want to rebel, you first need an important thing: influence.

The Zhao family, the Gao family, the Duan family, and the Yang family are not just any cat or dog who can make trouble.When you try to incite others, they will first ask "Who are you", "How old are you"?His background can only add some points to him, but it is not absolute.

First get rid of these influential people who have been high-ranking officials in the Changhe Kingdom, and then slowly process the rest, maybe you can win some really capable and helpful people from them, which will affect your future plans. is helpful.
