Chapter 425 Chang'an Emperor
Before strict customs clearance.
Feng An looked at the red flag of the Tang Dynasty waving in the wind, and then at the flag of the barracks in Yanguan Township, Guizhou, and couldn't help sighing.
"We are still one step late."
More than five hundred miles away, hurrying slowly, it is fast enough, who would have expected Qin Sanlang to do things better.
Entering the customs, Feng An observed carefully and found that the morale of this Yanguan township barracks was very high. Although the equipment was a bit ordinary, they were all capable and well-defended, which was completely different from the township soldiers he had expected.
After careful inspection of Feng An and his party's clerk seals, the other party let them enter the customs.
There were even two teams of township soldiers watching them throughout the process.
Feng An asked the soldiers to give money, but the other party took it, but still did not relax.
Some shops in the pass have also been restored. Feng An chose a tea house on the side of the road and went in for a cup of tea.
Daozi Feng You went out for a circle, and then came back.
"I have heard a lot of news, which is very surprising. There was a big battle here before, and the mountain man killed or injured two or three thousand here, but now the mountain man has dredged the Lingqu and returned to the mountain."
"What happened these days, where is Qin Lang now?"
"He is in Guizhou."
"Where is Cao Wuzheng?"
"Dead, he was killed by the **** bull, and all of Cao Wuzheng's confidants were also copied and beheaded by Qin Lang. Now the whole Guizhou, including those Yuecheng barbarians, have been submissive to Qin Lang. Unbelievable." Feng You sighed.
The Feng family has also dealt with barbarians all year round. When did barbarians become so talkative?
Feng An asked a lot of details, and after listening, he could only shake his head and sigh, "Qin Lang is really amazing, we really offended him this time."
"Isn't it possible?"
"People like Qin Lang are smart and close to monsters. How can we hide it from him? If we had arrived earlier and helped him, maybe this matter would have been forgotten, but now we haven't done anything. You said Qin Lang would how to think?"
"Never mind him!" Feng You said not very politely.
"Hey, this happened." Feng An was very annoyed. But until now, there is nothing to do.
He kneaded his head, but couldn't figure it out, Cao Wuzheng's move was really powerful, how could Qin Lang solve the matter easily in three or five moves.
It is not difficult to defeat the Shanman, but the question is how did he make the Shanman change his attitude so quickly, and he was so submissive to him so quickly?
And those people in Guilin city, why don’t there be sad rabbits and foxes?
Too many can't figure it out.
But no matter what, Qin Lang won this time, and he won very well.
"Beheading thousands, the barbarians are still so convinced, hey."
A few days later.
Chang'an.
Imperial City, Political Affairs Hall.
Several prime ministers are discussing matters in the hall.
A hall official rushed to the front of the hall, his voice full of excitement and ecstasy.
"Master, everyone, great victory."
Wei Zheng said dissatisfied, "What's the fuss? The prime ministers are discussing in the hall, how dare you break in?"
The official was shocked, and the prime minister discussed it, which is extremely confidential.
"Forgive me, my lords. I just received the good news from Guizhou. I couldn't resist rushing to tell you all."
The left servant shot Fang Xuanling and asked, "Guizhou? Was it sent by Duke Wei?"
"Returning to Mr. Fang is indeed a good news from Guizhou Weigong. Great victory, he strictly cut off thousands of mountain barbarians, then recruited and surrendered mountain barbarians, and then made a surprise attack on Guizhou, killing the rebellious Cao Wuzheng. Now all the barbarians have returned, and Guizhou is stable! "
"Behead thousands, bring down the barbarians, punish Cao Wuzheng, and pacify Guizhou?" Wei Zheng was shocked.
The rest of the prime ministers who participated in politics were also extremely shocked.
"The good news, hurry up and submit it." Du Ruhui shouted.
A success report written by Qin Lang himself was submitted.
Wei Zheng recited it himself, and all the prime ministers were amazed when they heard it, and even a little bit mesmerized.
"Qin Lang's good news, there should be no fake water." Fang Xuanling spoke first. These words are also based on facts. Qin Lang has made great achievements every time he has been sent to Youzhou as an envoy, inspected Jingbin, and guarded Hetao in recent years.
Wei Zheng didn't let go of the good news, "Qin Lang went to Lingnan, and he encountered tens of thousands of barbarians in the mountains, and immediately found out the rebellion of Guizhou Sima Cao Wuzheng, which is amazing."
Pingzhang Guoji Dai Zhou smiled and said, "After all, Qin Sanlang was an **** before, and his eyes and ears have always been sensitive, so it's not unusual."
The prime ministers mostly praised Qin Lang.
Even Wei Zheng, a big troll, rarely praised Qin Lang for his quick handling of things today. He didn't kill thousands of barbarians for Qin Lang, or kill hundreds of local tyrants in Guizhou with quick judgment, or copy dozens of houses and make sarcastic remarks.
For the princes of the imperial court, although Guizhou is in Lingnan, there is no room for loss in this state. This is the bridgehead for the imperial court to manage Lingnan, and safety must be guaranteed.
Li Xizhi was previously transferred to the court because he had lived in Guizhou for a long time, and he was worried that staying in Guizhou for a long time would not be conducive to the imperial court's control of Lingnan. Unexpectedly, after Li Xizhi entered the court, Cao Wuzheng, the Sima of Guizhou, appeared to rebel, and even provoked tens of thousands of mountain barbarians into chaos.
"Fortunately, we met Qin Lang's southern tour, otherwise, who would have the ability to deal with it in such a timely manner? If we wait until the imperial court sends people to go, I'm afraid it will be a long night with many dreams and the place will be in chaos." Fang Xuanling sighed.
The other prime ministers also agree with this statement.
Without Qin Lang, I really don't know how far this matter will go. Can we still count on Yongzhou Governor or Hengzhou Governor, or Tan Dian Ning Ju from Lingnan and others?
Guizhou was originally the core of the court to stabilize Lingnan, especially the west of Lingnan. This Guizhou is in chaos, and the surrounding counties will only follow the chaos. What kind of barbarians and sluts, I am afraid they will follow suit.
Fortunately, Qin Lang happened to appear and quickly quelled the rebellion in time.
"After killing thousands of barbarians at Yanguan, Qin Lang was able to disregard his own safety and put the overall situation first, and went out of the pass to the barbarian camp to recruit the Shanman in person, which is very impressive."
Fang Xuanling and others believed that Qin Lang's move was the most powerful. It wasn't just fighting and killing, the key was to find the key.
"Report to Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin was also pleasantly surprised when he saw the reports of the prime ministers.
After receiving another secret note from Qin Lang, he had a more comprehensive understanding of the whole incident.
He couldn't help but break out in a sweat. Although the rebellion subsided, he could feel that if Qin Lang didn't realize it in time, there would be a big mess. He dared not say whether Qin Lang, Feng An, Li Daliang and others would. He was murdered by the thief Cao, but once Qin Lang and others were blocked north of Yanguan, there would definitely be chaos in Lingnan, especially in Guizhou.
Those ghosts and ghosts are colluding, and the chaos may not be settled for a while.
He did not expect that Lingnan has been attached to the imperial court for six or seven years, and it is still so chaotic. A small state Sima can actually make such a big commotion.
I killed one Cao Wuzheng, but I don't know how many more.
For Lingnan, we really need to be ruthless.
Then I saw Qin Lang’s suggestions on pacifying Lingnan, such as increasing the merger and withdrawal of Lingnan states, accelerating the construction of state and county government schools, recruiting more children of Lingnan natives and powerful people, and even sending some children of Lingnan tyrants and barbarians, Enrolled in Chang'an Guozijian and others.
The other thing is to transfer troops from the Central Plains to station in Lingnan, set up a military mansion, move the family members of the soldiers to Lingnan, and place them next to the military mansion, and strengthen the imperial court's strength in Lingnan with the heart of peace.
On the other hand, it is still necessary to form a township regiment. The Han barbarians recruited township soldiers on July 3rd, and gave these people some privileges and benefits, so that they could become another auxiliary force besides the government soldiers that the imperial court controlled Lingnan.
There are many other suggestions, such as building roads, setting up post stations, sending more officials to Lingnan, and gradually reducing the proportion of officials selected from the south.
Gradually implement the new two-tax law in Lingnan········
Li Shimin thought carefully.
Finally, when Qin Lang asked the emperor to transfer Li Xizhi back to serve as the governor of Guizhou, and also asked Xu Jingzong to be the Changping envoy of Guangxi Dao, he hesitated.
The reason Li Xizhi was transferred back was that he didn't want him to stay in Guizhou for a long time, so as not to lose control.
But now Qin Lang said that although Cao Wuzheng was punished, some people in Guizhou were still unstable. Li Xizhi had always had prestige in Guizhou. If he went back, he would immediately stabilize the people in Guizhou. After all, he, Qin Lang, was just on his tour to the south of the sky, passing through Guizhou, so it is impossible to stay in Guizhou forever.
The reason why Xu Jingzong was chosen was that he was more capable. Now Lingnan needs such capable people. Although he had some bad experiences, he performed very well after being transferred to the Transshipment Department, and he has made remarkable achievements after being transferred to another place.
The emperor was a little lost.
I thought that Guizhou was the most stable, but I didn't expect that Guizhou was also like this. Then the situation in other counties in Lingnan may be even less optimistic.
This time, the Guizhou rebellion was quickly quelled by Qin Lang before it broke out. Many things hadn't been revealed yet, but Li Shimin could already see it.
He believed that it was precisely because of seeing these that Qin Lang asked Li Xizhi to go back to serve as the governor and governor of Guizhou.
The emperor felt that he was too optimistic about Lingnan before.
Finally, Li Shimin picked up a pen and wrote on a piece of paper the words Li Xizhi, governor of Guizhou, governor of Guizhou, and Xu Jingzong, governor of Guangxi Dao Changping.
paused.
The emperor also mentioned to write a line on the paper, Qin Lang bestowed solid food seals on one hundred households, and connected the first seventeen hundred households.
These one hundred households were sealed off to commend Qin Lang for his great achievements. On the surface, Qin Lang didn't seem to have made any great achievements this time. Beheading thousands of barbarians is nothing, but the emperor knew that Guizhou was a bit dangerous this time. , if Cao thief is not good, he will mess up the whole of Lingnan.
This may be more serious than the joint rebellion of Tan Dian, Feng Xuan, Ning Changzhen and others before. After all, the rebellion of Ning Changzhen and others was actually just a territorial scramble among those Lingnan soil kings, while Guizhou was the gateway to the Central Plains into Lingnan and the core of the imperial court's governance of Guangxi.
Once Guizhou is lost, it will be very serious, which may make the imperial court really lose control of the entire Lingnan.
Li Shimin finally began to reply to Qin Lang again. He hoped that Qin Lang could stay in Guizhou for a while to appease the local people, and wait until Li Xizhi and Xu Jingzong brought a group of officials selected by the court to arrive, and then left after handing over.
For the soldiers who served Qin Lang this time, the emperor also asked Qin Lang to record military achievements and report to the court, and each of them would be rewarded.
This time, not only will Li Xizhi return to Guizhou, but the imperial court will also select a large number of officials to go south, not only civil officials, but also many generals and military officials.
As for Qin Lang’s proposal to recruit the children of powerful families and mountain barbarians in the south of Lingnan to form a township regiment, the emperor agreed, and it was unrealistic and difficult to adapt to dispatching troops from the Central Plains.
It would be better to recruit some township regiments from Lingnan and give some preferential treatment, but in order to ensure the control of these township soldiers, the emperor had to send officers from the Central Plains to go south.
As for the establishment of Jimi County, the management of the Wuling Mountains by the chieftain of the Shanman, the emperor also agreed. Anyway, those places used to belong to the three-way zone and were allowed to be autonomous by the barbarians. It still helps the imperial court to control and strengthen penetration.
