Chastity Layman

  Chapter 856 Ginger is still old and spicy

  In Zhongshu Province, in Zhengshitang.

  Hou Junji rolled up his sleeves, his beard and hair were stretched out, his face was flushed, and he was drooling.

   "How is Qin Lang not guilty?"

  He stood in front of the princes, "That Qin Lang was greedy and cruel, invaded the barbarians, deliberately provoked border quarrels, created wars, and then made money from the war, and also used it to claim credit, so as to gain both fame and fortune."

"Think about the barbarians, although they are remote, they can form their own tribes, they have lived freely in the mountains for thousands of years, they have always been submissive to the imperial court, and Annan Jiaozhou is also stable. But Qin Lang and Li Daliang messed around in Annan, Lingnan It's black smoke blocking the air, chickens flying and dogs jumping, beacon fires everywhere in Lingnan, swords and soldiers everywhere, the whole Lingnan is now in chaos, Qin Lang is not enough, it is not enough to stabilize Lingnan..."

  Changsun Wuji twitched the beard on his lips, and snorted coldly with disdain, "Chen Guogong knows where Juding is, and which Man is Heman?"

Hou Junji didn't know when he had offended the emperor's brother-in-law. Although he had tried to show his kindness to Hou Junji, but it didn't work. Later, he thought about it. The emperor seemed to have a bad relationship with the two of them. , on the contrary, he was very happy to see it, so he simply stopped giving Changsun Wuji face.

   "Isn't Heman just the tribes living around Erhai Lake?" He rolled his eyes and shouted.

Ma Zhouwen, Minister of Zhongshu, Shen Zhizhengshi, said with a smile, "Hou Xiangke was wrong. What Hou Xiang said was the river man, the river of the river. The collective name of the tribal man does not specifically refer to one tribe. The Heman is also called the Southwest Man. In the Han Dynasty, it was called the Kunming tribe. Today, the six tribes are stronger in the Heman. The leaders of these six tribes are all called Zhao, so they are called Liuzhao. The head of the riverman..."

"The Heman mentioned by Zhao Guogong is the one who is involved in the Annan Rebellion. It is a kind and peaceful man. This Heman is a different species of Wuman. It was originally the thirty-seven Man tribe under the control of the Cuan clan in Yunnan. One of them is just that the Cuan family has been in civil strife in recent years, and it has been divided into East and West.

Xi Cuan governed various tribes, called Baiman, who lived in the west. Xi Cuan controlled Shicheng (Qujing), Kunchuan (Kunming), Quyue (Malong), Jinning, Yuxian (Chengjiang), Anning to Longhecheng ( Lufeng), mainly in the Dianchi Lake area.

Dongcuan is in Quzhou (now Zhaotong), Jingzhou (now Guizhou, Weining), Miluchuan (now Zhanyi), Shengmachuan (now Xundian, Songming) south to Butou, which is called Dongcuan, about Take the northeastern part of Yunnan as the land of Dongcuan. "

  Hou Junji had an oolong, mistook Erhai River Man for Red River Man, and was ridiculed by Changsun Wuji, which made Ma Zhou popularize his science.

  Over there, Wei Zheng even started to talk about history.

"Speaking of Heman, in fact, they are not the aborigines at present. There are historical records. They were the close relatives of the ancient Qiang who lived in the Minjiang and Bailongjiang valleys at the foot of Xiqing Mountain in the pre-Qin period. Later, they moved to the pre-Qin period. The area around the Dadu River in the west of Shu, and then in the Qin and Han Dynasties, continued to move southward, first to the Erhai Lake area, then to the Dianchi Lake area, and finally moved all the way south to settle in the middle and upper reaches of the West Daojiang River (Red River), which was called them in Qin Dynasty It was called Heyi, Kunming in the Han Dynasty, Southwest Yi in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wuman in the Sui Dynasty, and Heman today. It is also because of civil strife in the Cuan clan in recent years. The banner is also, they call themselves Harmony, so Annan called them Harmony."

   When it comes to history, Wei Zheng is undoubtedly an authority. Anyway, many people would never have imagined that these Hemans from the land of the south of the sky would be the first to migrate all the way from Longyou Xiqing Mountain.

  Hou Junji was a little annoyed, regardless of whether he was a Heman or a Heman, they were all barbarians anyway, what's the difference? Now he insisted on one point, thinking that Qin Lang was deliberately provoking, and he was the one who forced the barbarians to rebel.

"Hou Gong is also a military general. Why is he speaking so strangely now that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials? Barbarians are not always rebellious, especially in those remote areas. That is the same as Man Lian Cuan's They are not willing to accept, whether it was Yunnan or Annan who sent people to appease them, these people are ruthless, when have you ever seen them send people to Chang'an to pay tribute to the emperor?"

   "Moreover, Annan Li Daliang also invited the court more than once, saying that the tribes of the Heman tribe often harassed the trade roads in Yunnan. At this time, you are telling us that Qin Lang made a mistake in crusade against the barbarians?"

"In your opinion, what do you want? Forget it, Qin Lang, who is flat and barbaric, withdraws the army to quell the chaos at the front line, and then? Is it finally necessary for the court to let He Man stand on his own, and let them establish a country and become king like Juding Man? Or should we just give them Jiaozhou as an apology?”

  Although Changsun Wuji is not a military general, he was born in the general family, and the Guanlong nobles have always been strong, not to mention that he also fought with Tian Khan in the southern and northern wars.

  Hou Junji wholeheartedly wanted to take the opportunity to attack Qin Lang, but unexpectedly the reason he chose could not hold water in the political affairs hall.

   Heman is indeed insignificant, but because of this, the imperial court doesn't care about Heman's life and death. They only see the situation Qin Lang created in Lingnan, and see the bright future that Qin Lang gave.

  Datang has paid more and more attention to maritime trade in recent years, and Jiaozhou Port is now one of the top foreign trade seaports in the southeast, not to mention that Jiaozhou has the largest delta plain in Lingnan, which is the granary of Lingnan.

  So any barbarians who threaten Jiaozhou are guilty.

On the other hand, the imperial court is trying to change the past practice of entering Yunnan from Shu and central Guizhou. The road there is difficult to travel, and there are too many barbarians in southern Shu and Qiannan. The imperial court has not really controlled the situation so far. It is beyond our reach to manage the land of Yunnan further south.

Now the imperial court has greatly increased its control over Lingnan, so under Qin Lang's suggestion, the imperial court changed its thinking to develop Yunnan. On the one hand, it sent princes and heroes to guard the key points of Yunnan, and on the other hand, opened a road from Jiaozhou along the Red River to Kunming. Or the main road of Erhai Lake.

  Even after connecting to Yunnan, it will continue to extend to central Guizhou, Bashu, and even directly to Chang'an.

   This is a three-pronged strategic plan that combines politics, military affairs, and economics, and can benefit all.

   and the barbarians stand in the way and are not honest, so they will naturally be eradicated. Not to mention that they didn't rebel, even if they surrendered, the court still had to find a way to deal with it.

   On this matter, the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang are not clear about it. After all, this kind of grand strategic plan is at the national level. The monarch and his ministers have repeatedly discussed it many times, and basically reached a consensus.

Hou Junji dismissed his prime minister and went out before, because he did not participate in the discussion and formulation of this strategic decision. Now that he is attacking Qin Lang with this, none of the prime ministers will support him, because it means running counter to the grand strategy that was previously set. .

What Qin Lang did was to implement that strategy, so Qin Lang would not be wrong, unless he could not control the situation, leading to not only the situation corrupting, but even endangering the safety of Jiaozhou, the court would only Maybe a coaching change.

   But the situation is under control now.

  Judingman has almost been uprooted, Zuoximan is completely submissive, and now Heman is also involved in the war, which is what made Master Tang famous.

  At the level of Changsun Wuji and other prime ministers, their perspective on things has become more long-term, and no one will insist on superficial things such as how many barbarians rebelled, how many people were killed, and how much money was robbed.

  Why is there so much smoke and ping-pong in Lingnan, but the court seems to be indifferent to this matter? In fact, it's not all because the court looked down on Lingnan, but the prime ministers deliberately suppressed this matter.

  Deliberately low-key.

  The purpose is to create a better output environment for Qin Lang, so that he can let go of it. If this matter is too lively, it will inevitably drag Qin Lang down.

  But Hou Junji couldn't understand it, so he insisted on taking the opportunity to trouble Qin Lang.

In fact, not all the ministers in the political affairs hall have a good relationship with Qin Lang. If it is normal, some people will be happy to see Hou Junji biting Qin Lang, and maybe they will make trouble if there is a chance. But on this issue now, everyone It is impossible to follow Hou Junji, because the emperor will not allow it.

Gao Shilian, the right servant, was a good old man, he didn't want to see the prime ministers blushing, so he said, "Heman is one of the thirty-seven tribes of Wuman. It's just that Heman turned against Dong Cuan a long time ago. The two sides often come and go to attack and plunder each other, and this time Heman dared to take in Judingman to make trouble together, I think the imperial court can send an order to Dong Cuan to send troops to attack Heman from behind, and cooperate with Qin Lang to attack Heman!"

  The Cuan family from Yunnan entered the South Central region during the Han Dynasty, that is, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

The Northern Zhou and Sui dynasties started to unify, and the troops and horses went south, and the Cuan clan in Yunnan had to surrender, but later the Cuan clan was not reconciled, so the rebellion was not frequent. The heirs were all captured in Chang'an.

The Cuan family fought internally due to internal strife for the position of leader, so each branch stood on its own. On the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, each branch of the Cuan family stood side by side, forming an alliance between the eastern and western Cuan clans. Both Cuan surrendered to the Sui Dynasty and wanted to use the power of the Sui Dynasty to deal with the other side. This situation continued until the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

  After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan restored the son of the leader of the Cuan family who was captured to Chang'an after the defeat of the Sui Dynasty, and restored his freedom from slavery.

However, after many years, after the young master of the Cuan Clan returned to Yunnan, the split of the Cuan Clan did not ease. Instead, it became more complicated and the fight became more intense. Cuan Hongda, who returned to Nanzhong, finally became Xi Cuan However, the governors of the various states in Xicuan, that is, the children of the Cuan clan in Xizhi, did not completely obey him.

  The branches of Dong Cuan are even more unnecessary.

  Originally, the Cuan clan established the first real political power in Yunnan, but after Cuan Hongda and his son were defeated and captured in Chang'an, the Cuan clan entered a situation of separatist regimes and confrontation between the East and the West.

  Even the barbarians who were originally ruled by the Cuan clan also became self-reliant one after another. Originally, Dong Cuan controlled the thirty-seven barbarian tribes, and now they are also self-reliant.

After the Nanzhong region was renamed Yunnan Dao, part of the original Cuan clan was divided into Jiannan, Qianzhong, Annan, and Guangxi. The Cuan family is not as good as it used to be in terms of governors, governors, etc., but after all, it was once the overlord of Nanzhong.

The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the Cuan clan is called to send troops to help in the battle. If you are obedient, it is driving the tiger to devour the wolf. If you are not obedient, then you will have another handle in your hand. up.

   Killing two birds with one stone, **** is still hot, Gao Shilian's proposal was appreciated.
