Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 256

Two thousand four hundred and forty miles south of Chang'an, the Kuizhou government office of Shannan Road was born in Fuxian County.

This slightly strange county name was officially changed to Fengjie in the 23rd year of Zhenguan.

Qi Shanxing, the governor of Kuizhou, was formerly a general of Dou Jiande. He descended to the Tang Dynasty in Luozhou, Xiangzhou, and Weizhou.

The Kuizhou Dudufu governs Guizhou, Kuizhou, Zhongzhou, Fuzhou, Chengzhou, Yuzhou, and Nanzhou, suppressing the Qianzhou Dudufu.

Qi Shanxing was about to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Zhechong Mansion in Fuzhou, because Yelang was rebellious.

In the Tang Dynasty, Yelang was a very mysterious existence.

Yelang County, Zhenzhou, named after the Longzhen Mountain in its territory, is located in the northwest of Zheng'an County, Guizhou in later generations;
In the fourth year of Wude, Yelang County of Yizhou was established, and the government was located in the southwest of Shiqian County, Guizhou, and Zhenguan was abolished in the early days;
In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Yelang County was set up in Wuzhou, and it was governed by Zhijiang Dong Autonomous County in Hunan Province.

If you count the Yelang Kingdom and Yelang County in Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty, it will make people dizzy even more.

But the only one who can get involved in Kuizhou's governor's mansion is Yelang County of Zhenzhou, which is adjacent to Fuzhou. Qi Shanxing is beyond the reach of other Yelangs.

The Liao people in Yelang County, Zhenzhou have considerable smelting technology. During the Sui Dynasty, cinnabar and mercury were widely collected and smelted here. The "Tong Dian" of the Tang Dynasty recorded: Qianzhong County paid [-] catties of cinnabar.

Yelang Liao grows rice, but there is almost no water conservancy. He is at the stage of relying on the sky, so the output is naturally touching.

The yield per mu of Xiatian in the Tang Dynasty is generally one stone, about 120 catties, and they only have more than [-] catties.

In the entire Liao people group, Yelang Liao is considered to have a high degree of Sinicization, except for the Zhu family who is the main line, the Shan family and Ping family who are taken at will, and the Wei family who does not forget the crisis, Mu, Ah, Gang, You, Wang, etc. For several special surnames, and some with no surname at all, most of them adopt Chinese surnames.

Therefore, Zhenzhou will become an economically controlled state, not a Jimi state.

Laorengou, Zhailaozhufeng looks to the north, his eyes are full of worry, and his face like old bark trembles faintly.

"Wangzhen Matou, this time it's a big mess. I'm afraid that by then, Yelang County will be in another catastrophe."

Horse head is their respectful title for their leader.

Wangzhen, who looked like an iron tower, was wearing a blue robe, holding a machete, and said sullenly: "Old Zhai, let's stop making trouble. Although the rent is only half, we must afford it. Last year, the weather was dry and the rice production was reduced. Great, the baby is hungry and thin."

"The county only knows that the rent collection is mediocre according to the old rules, so we don't care about our hungry bellies."

"Besides, we are just expelling officials. We haven't dealt with cruelty or killed anyone. There should be room for relaxation."

Zhufeng smiled wryly: "You still don't know? They were lying in the middle of the Meijiang River, and three of them were shot to death by bamboo arrows. Yelang ordered Tian Dazhen to be hit by an arrow in his arm, and fled to Fuzhou in embarrassment."

Wang really smiled wryly.

The measured and measured struggle that was finally launched was completely disrupted by a few bamboo arrows.

You ask why the Zhechong Mansion in Zhenzhou didn't stop the Liao people?

I'm sorry, but as a rule, the soldiers of the government are the children of this state, and the proportion of the children of the Liaoren is not low. You can let them turn their swords on their own fathers and folks?
"Which village did it?" Wang Zhen asked.

Zhufeng shook his head bitterly.

If the Liao people did it by themselves, the bitter fruit would be recognized by themselves, but all the villages have questioned all the clansmen, and they have not found the slightest trace from the interrogation.

The hunters swore to the revered Bamboo King that they would never do anything without authorization, otherwise they would hit two more teeth.

Striking teeth does not mean pulling out teeth in Chinese. Some Yelang Liao villages have the custom of pulling out two front teeth. The reason is unknown.

Even with anesthesia, whoever pulls out the tooth will know how sour it is.

Wang Zhen closed his eyes: "Zhai Lao took the old and the weak, women and children eastward, walked through the mountains and forests, not on the road, went to Wuchuan County, Sizhou, and begged the same clan to take them in."

The rest packed up their bronze spears, wooden spears, longbows, and hunting bows, and followed Wangzhen.

Some of them were soldiers in front of the government, and some of the weapons were made by Yelang Liao himself.

A total of more than [-] people, mighty... a hammer.

In Zhenzhou, there are 260 households, 34 households and 300 households, and Yelang Liao can produce [-] people. He has already tried his best.

Facing each other across the Meijiang River, seeing the complete Zhechong Mansion in Fuzhou on the opposite side, ready to go, and the big banner with the word "Qi" fluttering in the wind, Wang Zhenxin sighed deeply.

"Men Ge, Ma Tou is sorry for you, I wanted to fight hard so that the government could treat us better, but unexpectedly..."

Ge is also one of Yelang Liao's self-proclaimed names.

A Liao man waved his wooden spear: "Matou, you have done everything, what are you talking about? If you can speak well, we will admit your mistake; if you can't speak well, you will serve the Bamboo King in your next life."

"Yes, we are not wrong! We just want to live!"

What a humble begging to be alive!
However, sometimes, even such a humble request is an extravagant wish.

The sound of drums and horns sounded from the opposite bank. Wang Zhen held the machete nervously, and a man in leather armor and holding a wooden spear waved his hands: "Don't be nervous on the horse's head. It's not a war drum, but an envoy is coming."

The envoy held the festival and rode an ordinary horse, with an old man leading the horse in front, two fierce men with knives on the left and right, and a group of government soldiers behind him as a guard of honor. This is not a posture to start a fight.

Wang Zhen put down the hand holding the knife, took out a horn, puffed up his cheeks, and blew the horn.

Yelang Liao lined up in two lines tacitly, and greeted each other from left to right.

No one is willing to sit and wait for death if they have to be killed.

But there is a turning point, who doesn't want to live well?

"The Consolation Envoy of the South Road of the Tangshan Mountain, the male of Huarong Jianguo County, and Fan Zheng, the censor, are here. You are still not polite, do you want to rebel?" Sun Jiu shouted violently.

The voice was loud and full of style, but Wangzhen immediately put down his horns and crossed his hands to salute: "Matou Wangzhen in Yelang County, I have seen the consolation envoy."

What's the point of drinking, the key is that Sun Jiu's words are full of mystery, and they are not considered to be rebels.

Fan Zheng sat high on the horse, with a trace of coldness in his eyes: "I ask you, Meijiang assassinated Yelang and ordered Tian Dazhen, but Yelang Liao did it?"

Wangzhen smiled sadly: "Bamboo King, Sun Wangzhen swears in future generations that Yelang Liao did not assassinate Yelang Ling. If there is even half a lie, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

Fan Zheng's face softened a little.

After all, these days, they haven't fallen to the point of swearing like farting.

"Why are officials expelled? Don't you know they represent the imperial court?"

Fan Zheng asked.

Wang Zhen lowered his hand: "Thousands of mistakes are the fault of villains. It is really the drought last year, and this year I can't afford the mediocre rent. If I continue to pay, the old and the young will starve to death. I have no choice but to do this."

Why do you have to?
Local officials don't care about the life and death of Liao people. Their first task is to pay taxes and keep enough county fees!

With more than 200 households in a state, can the rent adjustment not be heavy?

The Liao people have paid less, and the officials in the county government go to the northwest wind?
Tian Dazhen may not be regarded as a corrupt official - after all, he cannot be greedy even if he wants to spend money.
