Chastity Layman

  Chapter 820 Do you want to be king

  In the city of Xuanhua, Yongzhou.

  Qin Lang looked at the map while eating long rice dumplings.

  The North Route Army led by Cheng Chumo successfully completed the mission as planned, captured Silong, Wande and other places, and further cleaned up the Judingman who came over Hengshanzhai.

  The Judingman quickly returned to Hengshan, and they plundered Zhudong village.

  Qin Lang simply re-planned the state and county divisions of Zuoxi River.

   "The north bank of the Youxi River in Yongzhou is bounded by the Wuming River, and the east is under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou. Two counties, Langning and Wuming, were added. The original three counties of Jinxing, Wuyuan and Fengling formed the five counties of Jiangbei in Yongzhou."

  The south is bounded by Zuoxi, the east of Zuoxi is divided into Yongzhou, the east of Zuoxi, and the south of Yujiang, there are four counties of Xuanhua, Suining, Hehe and Shangsi.

  Yongzhou governs nine counties, all of which are official counties of the imperial court. Counties with more than 10,000 household registrations have county magistrates, and counties with less than 10,000 households have county magistrates.

  On both sides of the Zuoxi River in the west of Yongzhou, Zuozhou was established in the north of the Jiangxi, and Cagezhou was established in the south of the Yangtze River. Luzhou and Qinzhou are separated by 100,000 mountains in the southeast of Cagezhou, Wu'an Prefecture in the Qinlang fiefdom in the southwest, and Siming River is the boundary between the north and the south. The east-west border between Wu'an Prefecture and Luzhou is the Beilun River.

  Longzhou is planned to be established in the upper reaches of Zuoxi River.

  From Gaopingbao to Guangyuanzhou, Longzhou, Zuozhou, Cagezhou, and finally Yongzhou, while Youxi is from Xilinzhou, Guilezhou, Youzhou, Guidezhou to Yongzhou.

  The two rivers on the left and right, and finally eight Zhengzhous were compiled, all of which belonged to the Dudufu of Yongzhou and belonged to Guangxi Road.

  The west side is bounded by Nanpan River, and the west bank belongs to Yunnan Road.

  Northwest is also bounded by Nanpanjiang River, and Jiangbei belongs to Guizhou Middle Road.

  The southwest is bounded by the upper reaches of the Panlong River, the north of the Jiangxi belongs to Guangxi Road, and Maguan connects Zhennanguan to form a line, which is the southwest boundary of Guangxi and Guangnan, and Wu'an Prefecture is the southeast boundary of the two roads.

Qin Lang squinted his eyes, and was very satisfied with the division of Xinzhou County that he had set up. He gridded the wild land in this way, and demarcated the boundaries piece by piece. actual control.

  A group of governors looked at the new territory that Qin Lang had drawn up, and couldn't help being speechless.

  Feng Zhidai even smiled and said, "Sanlang, if your pen is tilted further to the west, it will all go to Dianchi Lake."

  Qin Lang smiled, "I did a good job of drawing. Although I reached the east bank of the Nanpan River, I didn't reach the upper reaches of the Nanpan River."

   "Then go to Nanning Prefecture (Qujing)."

  The Nanpan River originates from the Qujing area, flows from north to south, and turns to the northeast when it reaches Kaiyuan in the north of Gejiu. It is like a big V shape. The border of Guangxi and Yunnan drawn by Qin Lang is on the right side of this big V.

In fact, the Nanpanjiang River Basin is now on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, this big V is an area that is difficult to really control. To the east of the V is Juding, to the south is Heman, and to the west is Gold Teeth and White Clothes. Barbarians, even in the middle of this V, have always been full of barbarians.

  On the thousands of miles of territory, the imperial court has not set up prefectures and counties, which is a clear proof, not even a Jimi prefecture and county has been established, because the barbarian kings here have never even surrendered to the above table.

  In the periphery of this V, the imperial court established Nanning Prefecture, Weizhou, Lizhou, Panzhou, and Xunzhou, but basically they were all Jimi Prefectures, all of which were barbarian autonomous territories.

  Before drawing the roads, the boundaries between Guangxi Road and Qianzhong Road, Yunnan Road, and Annan Road are very vague, and there is no clear boundary line, because the four borders are all non-actually controlled, not even Jimi District.

   Now, Qin Lang draws a line, but he wants to delineate the boundaries of the four realms.

   No matter how Qin Lang draws it, it is actually possible. After all, it is a barbaric land in the non-controlled area, but Qin Lang still tries to follow the characteristics of the mountain and river shape and the canine-toothed zoning setting to delineate the boundary.

A Nanpan River becomes the boundary of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi. The boundary between Guangxi and Guangnan is not so standardized. There is no natural boundary between rivers and mountains. Qin Lang draws a line horizontally, combining several rivers and several mountains. Join together as a boundary.

  The Liaozi Department, that is, the territory of Juding Kingdom, was basically assigned to Guangxi Road by Qin Lang. This ancient country, which was originally a land spanning four roads, was completely assigned to Qin Lang's own territory.

He simply drew a line in the southwest of Guangnan Road, but with the watershed of the Heishui River in the southwest of the Red River, Song Zao Zai Mountain, he expanded the southern boundary of Guangnan Road to the southwest by a few forcibly. hundred miles.

  Never asked about the meaning of the savages and barbarians in the Heishui River Basin at all.

  Under the new demarcation, in fact, Qin Lang allocated more land for Guangnan Province in the northeast boundary of Guangxi and Guangnan, that is, he allocated a lot more land for his own Wu'an Prefecture.

Bounded by the Mingjiang River in the north and the Beilun River in the east, the seven prefectures of Siming, Siling, Sumao, Xin'an, Dangzhou, Xiping, and Shixi originally belonged to the Zuoxi Mangs. It was directly assigned to Guangnan Road, and Qin Lang reduced them all to Zhengxian County under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and transferred them to the Dudu Mansion of Wu'an Prefecture to take charge of them.

   This can be regarded as Chiguoguo's use of power for personal gain.

   It can be planned like this, and no one objected.

  The original boundary was the watershed between Siling River and Qiongqi River, but now the border has been pushed northward by more than a hundred miles.

  But geographically speaking, the new boundary is indeed better than the original boundary, and the mountains and rivers are more complete.

  From Zhennanguan in the west to Anhai (Dongxing) at the mouth of Beilun River in the east.

Zuoxi Creek changed from eighteen prefectures to eight prefectures. Qin Lang's plan was to wait for the eighteen barbarian kings of Liangxi after this war, and finally select the remaining eight who were more powerful to be appointed as governors. It is Jimi Prefecture, which was completely autonomous in the past, but Zhengzhou of the imperial court. Like those local kings in Guangdong and Guangxi, they can temporarily be appointed as governors and other posts, but a large number of prefectural and county officials must be appointed by the imperial court.

  It is also inevitable to set up a military mansion and station a military town.

   "Calculating the time, we have been in Yongzhou for more than a month, and Judingman sent troops for more than three months. It is time for Li Gong to send troops from Jiaozhou."

  Qin Lang moved his eyes to the southwest of the sand table.

  Li Daliang's Annan Governor's Mansion has a town navy, and has conquered the Liaozi and Heman tribes for several consecutive years. They are all elites capable of fighting and well-trained.

  In addition, the Zhenhai Navy has a convenient waterway available. It leaves Jiaozhou and goes up along the Red River. Not far upstream is the Lushui River, the largest tributary of the Red River. Up the Hushui River is the confluence of the Jinjiang River and the Mingjiang River.

  Li Daliang's Zhenhai army could divide into two groups, continue northward along the Jinjiang and Mingjiang Rivers, and go deep into the hinterland of the Liaozi Ministry. The upper reaches of the Mingjiang River is the Panlong River.

  Compared to the criminals who were swarming like a swarm, Qin Lang and the others had already made various deployments on the sand table, and the entire battlefield had its own division of labor.

  The left and right Ximan kings are cannon fodder, responsible for intercepting the Judingman's offensive, and even consuming it. However, Qin Lang was sitting in Yongzhou, but he took the opportunity to reform the land and return to the people, waiting for the opportunity.

  As for Li Daliang, he was responsible for leading the army into the empty nest in the hinterland of Juding.

  Qin Lang's main force will not be mobilized easily, and will definitely wait until the Judings know that their lair has been attacked, and they can no longer break through the defense of the Liangximan and prepare to retreat.

  When the time comes, Wu'an Prefecture's soldiers will attack from behind, and Qin Lang will drive the Liangxi Man from behind to pursue, and the 100,000 barbarians in Juding will eventually be defeated when they retreat.

   There won't be any tough battles, and Qin Lang never thought that he would really have a decisive battle with Judingman in Yongzhou, or a decisive battle in Hengshan or Gaoping. Judingman is not enough for this qualification.

  Forcing it to retreat, and then pursue it, this is the most terrible thing.

  The three Zhengzhous of Cage, Zuozhou, and Guidezhou have basically completed the reconstruction, and a total of 5,000 frontier troops from the Guide Army and the Zhennan Army were set up to guard Guide and Zuozhou.

   Sanzhou City has completed the first phase of reconstruction and defense, and everything is going smoothly.

   A group of Xidong Man, first attacked by the Juding Man, and then the main force went upstream to intercept and defend the main force of the Juding. As a result, no one expected that Qin Lang would come to recruit Yin at this time.

  When the well-armored, well-armored and well-trained Tang troops came in a steady stream, Qin Lang took advantage of the situation and announced the establishment of prefectures and counties, and no one could object.

  Some barbarians expressed dissatisfaction verbally, but Qin Lang just laughed, and the verbal dissatisfaction was useless.

  The timing of Tang Jun's entry was too good.

  The two biggest barbarian kings, the left and right streams, are currently in a very embarrassing attack against the full force of the Juding barbarians.

  If they refuse, the Tang army will sit back and watch the tigers fight without sending troops to rescue them, and they may be attacked by the barbarians. There are also some people who are popular and want to vote for Judingman, but the barbarian kings have been attached to Datang these years, and they have seen the benefits of belonging to Datang, not to mention that the barbarian kings have just returned from Guangzhou, but they have seen with their own eyes how Datang is. How powerful is it, and how is its control over Lingnan strengthened step by step.

  Feng An and other big commanders dare not be tough on Datang anymore, so how dare they face the enemy.

  So Qin Lang wrote to them, asking their opinions on this wave of land reform, the barbarian kings could only reluctantly grit their teeth to express their approval, while at the same time constantly urging Qin Lang to send reinforcements and send food and grass supplies.

  Qin Lang hung the barbarians half-starved and half-satisfied, which made the Tanzhou and Hengshan battlefields maintain a terrible stalemate.

  ······

  Qin Lang invited Princess Fan Lin to eat snail powder. The princess first disliked it because she thought it smelled bad, and as Princess Linyi, how could she eat snails?

   Especially the sour bamboo shoots, the taste is too strong.

   "You know it's good after you've eaten it. Next time I invite you to eat stinky tofu, it smells stinky and tastes good. You are Princess Linyi, so you should have eaten durian. In fact, it's almost the same."

  Of course Zhou Lin has eaten durian, and she quite likes it.

   Reluctantly tried fusilli powder, the first chopsticks only picked up a little bit, just like eating poison. Then he hesitated for a moment, and tried again with his chopsticks.

  Third, fourth.

   Finally couldn't stop.

   After eating, she realized something was wrong, and the princess couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

   "This thing tastes really weird. It doesn't smell good, but it tastes okay."

"Hahaha!"

   "The princess is doing well recently. I am busy with business and have no time to take care of her. If the princess is homesick, I can arrange someone to take you to Jiaozhou Taiping Port to board the ship back to Linyi?"

   "If I don't go back, I will marry that devil. I will never marry him. I would rather wander outside for the rest of my life."

The princess looked at Qin Lang. During this period of time, she followed Qin Lang all the way to Yongzhou. She knew more and more about this young Tang nobleman and admired him more and more. During this period of time in Yongzhou, she even witnessed it with her own eyes. Saw his means.

"Mr. Wei, I know that the Guangming Sect has a great influence in Linyi. There are many churches, manors, and many missionaries and assassins. When Wei Gong finishes this battle, I am willing to lead Wei Gong to Linyi to encircle and suppress the Guangming Sect. .”

  Qin Lang smiled, and suddenly asked, "Does the princess want to be the king of Linyi?"

   "What?" The princess was surprised.

   "There is bad news. Your father was killed by Mahamandaga's mutiny. Now Linyi is in chaos. Prince Yishana of Chenla is calling for troops, declaring that he will bring troops into Linyi to quell the chaos."

   "Your brother Fan Zhenlong has already fled to Jiaozhou. Yishana claimed that the mastermind behind the mutiny was your brother."

  Princess couldn't believe it.

   "Mahamandaga is not my brother's man at all. He has colluded with Yishana long ago. It must be Yishana who murdered my father and framed my brother."

"Your brother also said the same thing. He said that Izhana colluded with Mahamandaga alone, and hired the Eagle's Nest assassin from the Guangming Sect to infiltrate the palace and poisoned the king. Then the mutiny seized control of the Singapura King City. Now He fled to Jiaozhou, wanted to go to Chang'an to ask for reinforcements, and asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to uphold justice for him."

  Qin Lang said bluntly to the princess, "I heard that your elder brother Fan Zhenlong is not very capable, and he has been in contact with the Guangming Cult in the past. I don't like him very much. If the princess is willing to be the king of Linyi, I can help you!"
