Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 861 If you want to get the quiet navy, you must first decide the Dali Kingdom

After successfully sitting on the throne of Yangjumei City for two months, the smile on Zhang Xiancun's face turned into a sad one.

If you don't get to this position, you don't know how complicated the situation is. You really don't know how expensive the rice is if you are not in charge!
Zhang Xiancun's most intuitive feeling now is that there are too many rebels.

Although Zhang Cheng and Liu Zaisheng wiped out two major rebellions in succession, the rebellions of small tribes and small heads of various ethnic groups are happening one after another.

At the same time, how will the soldiers who are willing to stay in Dali be distributed, how will the soldiers who want to go back to the Central Plains be rewarded, and how will the eight tribes of Xishan who came from Yufu City be arranged?
What benefits should be given to the Black Cuan 21 who took refuge in advance, how to punish those who followed Dali's rebellion, and how should the white Duan, Gao, and Dong Sanshi be arranged?

All of these are troublesome things.

However, fortunately, there is Guo Rong, the historically talented Zhou Shizong, after three or four years of training in Nanxi Mansion, he has already felt a little bit like a king.

He smiled and said to Zhang Xiancun: "Your Highness, don't worry, I watched the sage's affairs, read the Ming emperors of the past dynasties governing the country, and suddenly found that the king governing a country is not smooth sailing.

The kind of situation where the whole world surrenders with one word will never happen. Even if the first emperor ruled the world with Qin's harsh and violent laws, it would be impossible for everyone to obey.

Your Highness has just established a country, and it is actually a good thing for someone to rebel. Those who were small and weak were easy to defeat. Anyway, there are so many generals below, and it is better to give them something to do. A little rebellion, just put it out. "

Guo Rong's composure gave Zhang Xiancun good support in his heart, and made this young man who had waited for six or seven years to finally get his throne and wanted to emulate his righteous brother Yan Wang Murong Nobunaga much calmer.

Zhang Xiancun thought for a while and asked Guo Rong with a smile, "Since that's the case, what can a certain family do now?"

"Wait!" Guo Rong said concisely.

"Wait?" Second monk Zhang Xiancun was puzzled.

In his view, there are constant rebellions all around, soldiers and generals have not yet awarded rewards, 10,000+ people are piled up in Dali Kingdom, and the daily consumption of money and food is astronomical. It is time to deal with the problem quickly. How can you wait? Woolen cloth?

Fortunately, Guo Rong didn't wait for Zhang Xiancun to ask, and continued to say: "The reason why we have to wait is because His Highness is only the founder of the government at this time.

A duke would definitely not be able to support a country with millions of people like Dali, so he had to wait for the sage's edict to decide what to do next. "

Speaking of this, Guo Rong paused for a moment before continuing: "If the sage canonize a county king, then I suggest that Your Highness give up the territory east of Yangjumei City and concentrate on preparing to go west."

"That's not possible." Zhang Xiancun waved his hand confidently. If he is a county king, it means that Zhang Xiancun is just the founding king of an inner vassal. After guarding here for ten or eight years, he may be transferred. back.

In this case, Zhang Xiancun's threat to the throne, especially to the crown prince's position is too great, and his father will not arrange this way, which also violates the agreement between father and son.

Seeing that Zhang Xiancun was so sure, Guo Rong immediately felt relieved. He only said this question, and he wanted to test Zhang Xiancun's grasp of this matter.

Now it seems that the sage really wants the eldest prince to be king here, just like Murong Nobunaga.

"I don't think so." So Guo Rong immediately agreed, "Then I want to congratulate the king, if you confer the title of king, then your highness is qualified to confer titles on your own vassals.

The minister believed that Dali was not as far away from the middle land as the four provinces of Lelang, Korea, Asahi, and Penglai. Since King Zhuangyu of Dian and Tang and Mongolia managed the southwest, Dali has been the land of the country.

Therefore, even if it is granted by imperial edict, first of all, the power and responsibility of the monarch and marquis are too great to be unnecessary.

In addition, the land in eastern Yunnan must be fragmented, and more inspection envoys should be appointed. Gentlemen and gentlemen must be cautious.

Western Yunnan and southern Yunnan are mainly Lishui Jiedushi, Yongchang Jiedushi and Yinsheng Jiedushi. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the products are not abundant. The knighthood is too small.

The Governor's Mansion of Huichuan in northern Yunnan has always been a place of contention between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao. Many people still think that it is the land of the country, but it was fraudulently taken by Nanzhao. The minister suggested that part of it should be handed over to the country.

This not only highlights the integrity of His Highness, but with this concession, the imperial court can also settle the rewards of tens of thousands of soldiers from the imperial court. "

The land of eastern Yunnan mentioned by Guo Rong is probably Kunming, Qujing, Xuanwei, Zhaotong, Liupanshui and other places in later generations.

These places are close to the Han Dynasty and have a developed economy. Among them, Kunming, Qujing and other places must be under the direct administration of the king, and other places can only seal more small chieftains like patrol envoys. This strategy is very correct.

Western Yunnan refers to Baoshan in Yunnan, Myitkyina in Myanmar, Menggong, Bhamo, Jiangxinpo and Naga hills in India in later generations. These places were poor and inconvenient places in later generations.

Southern Yunnan is the north of Pu'er, Jinghong, Mengla and Vientiane, Laos.

In western Yunnan and southern Yunnan, except for Baoshan, Jinghong and other places which are not bad, the rest are poor places. If some inspection envoys who can only mobilize two or three hundred men are to be sealed, it will definitely not be suppressed.

Therefore, Fang Bo, who can dispatch tens of thousands of soldiers, is needed to rule, and when necessary, he needs the support of the royal court of Yangjumei City.

As for the Huichang Dudufu in northern Yunnan is the Xichang of later generations, part of what Guo Rong said was specifically the two lands of Xichang City and Panzhihua City.

This place is indeed the focus of competition between Nanzhao and Datang, and it is also a key gateway to the north of Dali. It is no less important than Hanzhong to Shuzhong.

Abandoning this place, on the one hand, means that Zhang Xiancun, the son of the kingdom, is defenseless against Zhang Shengren.

On the other hand, it can indeed save a large amount of rewards that Dali Kingdom cannot afford now.

It is indeed a good deal to use part of the land of the Dudu Mansion in Huichang in exchange for the imperial court's own award of about [-] soldiers dispatched this time.

Zhang Xiancun is overjoyed, this plan sounds very suitable for his Dali Kingdom!

However, he was still a little embarrassed. The rewards and daily consumption of [-] to [-] soldiers were not a small amount. I wondered if his father would agree.

Guo Rong chuckled, "The sage will definitely agree. For the Eastern Expedition of the King of Yan, the court paid more than 50% of the cost. This is true for the adopted son. Now that my son wants me to pay [-] million guan, the sage will definitely agree."

Right!Zhang Xiancun nodded fiercely. The old man paid at least 400 million guan for his righteous brother Murong Xinchang, which almost squeezed out the rich families in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. The money bank issued two bank notes for this. Now he only needs 40 guan. It should be given too.

While the two were discussing the rest of the details, there was thunderous cheers outside, Zhang Xiancun immediately took Guo Rong's hand, and the two almost ran out of the hall.

The Dali Royal Palace was built at the southern foot of Cangshan Mountain, overlooking the entire city of Yangjubaa. Zhang Xian looked at it, and saw more than ten silver, platinum, sun and moon banners representing the emperor approaching, and the banner was brought along with the rapid galloping. The wind keeps blowing.

The sound of drums and cheers attracted all the soldiers and generals of Yangjumei City. In the eyes of everyone looking forward to it, the messenger who arrived in advance announced loudly to Zhang Xiancun:

The imperial court granted Zhang Xiancun, the Duke of Dian in Kaifu, the title of prince, named the country Chu, and called him the Great King of Chu.

. . . .

Regarding Zhang Xiancun's national title, Zhang Tie had actually thought about it for a long time. The only national titles that could be used were the King of Dian in Zhuangjiao, the King of Yunnan that Pi Luoge got from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, and the King of Chu who could barely be related.

Among them, the king of Dian is really unpleasant, and it is not one of the hundred kingdoms entrusted by the emperor of Zhou, and it also has a hint of a barbarian king.

The king title of King of Yunnan is originally a two-character king title, which does not conform to the most noble tradition of one-character king in the traditional Central Plains, and the meaning of independence is too strong.

Among the choices, only the title of King of Chu is the most suitable.

Chu is one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. He has always been considered the most domineering one among the best kings.

In addition, the Bai people have Zhuang Yu Wang Dian, who are said to be descendants of Zhuang Yu, and Zhuang Yu can barely be regarded as a marginal member of the Chu royal family.

And in the Spring and Autumn Period, dare to say domineeringly, "I am a barbarian!" 'The state of Chu actually assumed the role of the Zhou Dynasty in the south.

In Chinese history, the development of the south of the Central Plains started from Chu State.

Although they were able to say that I am a barbarian at the time, in fact, after being ridiculed by the countries of the Central Plains, they meant to break the pot for the sake of real interests.

But in the heart of the state of Chu, they absolutely did not want to think that they were barbarians. On the contrary, what they presented to the south of the Yangtze River at that time was the face of a civilized country from the Central Plains.

In the state of Chu at that time, although you were a barbarian from the mountains and forests, as long as you recognized the king of Chu as the king, learned the language, culture and way of life of the state of Chu, and were willing to send protons to Yingdu, then they would treat you as a Chu person. If you are big, you can be absorbed into the category of the nobility of Chu State.

This made the composition and origin of the clan and nobles of the Chu State extremely complicated, and also caused the Chu State to be large but still unable to gather the vast land to form a joint force, giving people a sense of puffiness that is big but not strong.

However, for future generations, this strategy of the Chu State has made a great contribution. Genetic surveys have shown that in the vast area south of the Yangtze River, many local wealthy families who consider themselves Han people are mostly split from the Chu royal family and nobles. The Central Plains Dynasty created a lot of claims and strong centripetal force.

Zhuang Yu's matriarchal ancestors were probably from the local clans in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, who were integrated into the Chu state, so he could clearly know that the Dali area was rich in products and enough to make contributions.

Only then can we know the geography along the way, and be able to reach the Dali area in such a fast time and with the productivity at that time. (It is purely the author's conjecture, not fidelity, just take a look.)
So now, Zhang Ting gave Zhang Xiancun the title of Chu, which can win over the most powerful white people in the area, and secondly, it can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

After getting the title of King Chu, Zhang Xiancun was also very excited. He naturally knew that the title of Chu was full of Zhang Ji's expectations.

During the banquet, Zhang Xiancun said to He Ning, who came to act as an angel in person: "Damn, the pre-Qin period was the bell and drum for the king to summon warriors, and after the first emperor, it was replaced by the axe.

My lord bestowed the name of Yue on the elder brother of the King of Yan, and gave me the name of 锽, and the fists and hopes are vividly written on the words.

Please repay everyone, Chu Fan will definitely keep in mind the responsibilities of opening up borders and expanding land, Xiajun and Yimin. "

This is the tacit understanding between father and son. Zhang Ting only used one word to let Zhang Xiancun understand what he should do.

. . . .

In the ninth year of Shaoming in the Great Zhou Dynasty, 954 A.D., in the first month, the king of Chu, Zhang Kai, officially began to issue decrees in Yangjumei City, and changed Yangjumei City into a grand ceremony.

The Li of Dali should have originally come from this ritual, but now Zhang Xiancun has changed it to Li, implying the two meanings of restoring the old name and restoring Zhou Li.

Later, Chan Mansion was changed to Kunming Mansion, Shisang County to Chuxiong Mansion, and Wumeng City to Qianwei Mansion. These three mansions plus Jianchuan Mansion in the north (in the Lijiang area) and Dali, the capital city, were made directly under the king's jurisdiction.

And in this one capital and four prefectures, [-] households of government soldiers were established, of which [-] households of the Northern Army Army were responsible for guarding the capital and the royal city, and [-] households of the Southern Army Army were responsible for suppressing the local area.

In the central government, Zhang Xiancun took Guo Rong as the prime minister.

The little black bear, Zhang Liechao, is the army envoy of the Beifu, and will control the imperial army for him. However, the little black bear will obviously return to the central government in the future. In Chu Fan, he will firstly help Zhang Xiancun, and secondly, accumulate experience. After the little black bear leaves, the northern army envoy will It's time for the king to take over.

Li Chongjin was the military envoy of Nanfu, and set up a military envoy Yamen, responsible for the garrison, deployment, and assembly of [-] Nanfu troops.

Zhang Yongde is the magistrate of Kunming and the deputy envoy of the Nanfu Army, responsible for guarding the important town of Kunming.

Dong Sankuo was the magistrate of Chuxiong, and more than [-] Dongs were appointed as inspection envoys, who were scattered and guarded in various places.

Gao Fang's son, Gao Tong, was the magistrate of Jianchuan, and more than [-] people from Gao's family were appointed patrol envoys, and they were also dispersed to guard various places.

At the same time, big families such as the Duan family and the Baiyi (Dai) Dao family also have their own rewards. Basically, the patriarchs, elders, etc. are kept in the heart.
The rest of the soldiers and generals who followed Zhang Xian and deposited in Yunnan each received awards. There were four nobles, eleven gentlemen, and more than seventy patrol envoys.

Locally, Zhang Xiancun sealed Zhang Fei as Lishui uncle and Lishui Jiedu envoy, and his capital was Jinbao City (Myitkyina), with 25 households of various ethnic groups under his jurisdiction, a total of [-] people.

And another An Shouqian, who brought a large number of frustrated people from Hedong and Daibei, and old tooth soldiers, was named Yinshengbo and also served as Yinsheng Jiedushi. Thirty thousand households, a total of 19 people.

Represented by An Shouqian, veteran soldiers and generals who could not find a place under Zhang Zhou's New Deal finally found a place to stay.

An Shouqian was the son of An Shuqian who was used as a peacemaker everywhere by Zhang Ting, and was also detained by Liu Zhiyuan.

An Shuqian married his daughter to Zhang Xiancun as his side concubine. At the same time, Zhang Xiancun also married Princess Yongle, the youngest daughter of Li Siyuan, Emperor Mingzong of the later Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he was the second investment target of the Dongdai Beiwu people after Murong Nobunaga.

But this group is extremely complicated, and not all of them are from the Beiwu people of the Hedong Dynasty. There are actually three forces in it.

One is the Qiang people from the Eight Divisions of Xishan who regard Zhang Xiancun as a disciple of Buddha, the other is some warriors from the fringes of Helong recruited by my aunt herself for her son, and the rest are the frustrated Hedong Daibei under An Shouqian.

Although An Shouqian was an earl, it was because the An family bet almost all of their wealth on Zhang Xiancun.

In fact, the other two groups only listen to Zhang Xiancun, if An Shouqian can direct small things, big things will not be sure.

In this way, the framework of the entire Chu Fan was set up, and the migration of the Azali faction also began.

But just as Guo Rong said, the war against chaos within the Chu clan will never stop, at least it will take five or eight years to truly suppress it.

However, the most important war at present is not to quell the civil strife, but to immediately send people to wipe out the remnants of the Dali Kingdom entrenched in the Tonghai Dudu Mansion (Gejiu).

The reason why it is so urgent is because the Tonghai Governor's Mansion is close to Annan, and there is a big river from Dali to Annan - the Red River.

This great river originates from the Dali Kingdom and ends in Annan and enters the sea, bringing the rich Red River Delta to the land of Annan. This is also the only big river that flows from the territory of the later Republic to Annan.

The terrain in Annan is actually very good for defense. At this time, the road around Zhennan Pass is still covered by jungle. If you want to walk, you have to go through at least [-] miles of virgin jungle, which is very difficult to walk.

If you go to the sea, the Red River Delta is also very deceptive. This broken bay looks calm above, but the undercurrent is surging underneath. You will be stranded in seconds.

The Southern Han army beat Annan, and it was this trick. Originally, Jing Haijun was beaten by the Southern Han army and cried for his father and mother, but Wu Quan played a dirty trick and buried a hidden stake in the sea in advance.

The Southern Han army didn't know that the tide was ebbing fast here, and the battle was going smoothly. As a result, the sea was ebbing, and the warship was led back into the sea, and then suddenly hit a hidden pile that was originally hidden deep in the water, and even the flagship of the commander Liu Hongcao was hit. Overturned, and finally the whole army was wiped out.

Therefore, in the era of cold weapons, there was only one trick they couldn't handle against Annan, and that was to attack them from the side of the Tonghai Governor's Mansion along the Red River and land.

The Red River has plenty of water, as long as you pass Laoshan, there is no danger, and you can go all the way to Hanoi directly.

In history, Nanzhao dared to attack and occupy the Jinghai Navy several times during the Tang Dynasty, and it was from here.

Even in the later period of the Republic, why did Vietnam accompany us to train troops in Laoshan during the counterattack?

It is because they know that Vietnam has no danger to defend after crossing Laoshan. If they don’t fight us here, and if they don’t defend Laoshan, Hanoi will be a whore with open legs.

Why do you want to invade even if you don't give up, the monkeys are not fools, whoever invades poor places like Hekou and Pingbian will gain nothing at all.

There is no other way, I am afraid of being beaten, so I can only occupy the old mountain fortifications, even if my heart bleeds, and the man dies, I can only stand up.

Therefore, if Zhang Tie wants to regain the battle of the Jing Navy, sending troops from Dali is the most important part, so the Tonghai Governor's Mansion must be recovered as soon as possible.

At the same time, Ma Zhaoyuan, the horse killer, also officially wrote a letter to Zhang Yu, because he found out how to use the armor armed with morality against Liu Sheng of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Didn't you say that you are a loyal vassal? That's simple. Now there is only the Jing Navy that has not been recovered. The imperial court officially ordered the Southern Han Navy to cooperate with the recovery of the Jing Navy.

What?You say you won't go?Then you, loyal fan, must be pretending.

The bones of your brother Liu Hongcao, Liu Sheng, are still buried in the bottom of the sea south of the Jinghai Sea, and the revenge of tens of thousands of Southern Han athletes has not yet been avenged, so why don't you try?
Go, it will be easier to deal with, when you come back, all the soldiers and generals of the Southern Han Navy Army will be bribed, and the Xingwang Mansion will be surrounded on the way back. See if you, Liu Sheng, call for help, if you are saved, I will give you He was rescued to Luoyang, the capital of God.
