Chapter 436 The Barbarian King Fights the Rich
The barbarians were afraid of Qin Lang's soldiers and horses, as if seeing heavenly soldiers.
The history of barbarians is actually very long. As early as the pre-Qin period, the south of the Yangtze River and the south of the five ridges were the land of Baiyue. Just a word of "hundred" is enough to explain the chaos of the Yue people. Although the barbarians of all ethnic groups in Lingnan are known as Yue, they are also called Baiyue, which really shows that they are always in chaos.
The earliest famous person in Baiyue should be Yu Yue. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Kuaiji was the center until the founding of Goujian. One of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons.
After Qin Shihuang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he turned his attention to the land of Baiyue in the south. The Qin army launched three wars against Baiyue. Years later, Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo led the Qin army in the Battle of Baiyue, pacified Lingnan, and established three counties: Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun. Six years later, Qin launched the third Baiyue War, and Zhao Tuo led his troops to attack Ouluo.
Three expeditions to Lingnan allowed the Central Plains Dynasty to incorporate Lingnan into its territory, and it has been owned by China ever since.
And earlier, when the Qin State destroyed the ancient Shu Kingdom, Pan, the Prince of Ancient Shu, led the people to travel south to Yunnan, and then arrived at the Red River Delta along the Red River, where he established the Ouluo Kingdom. The Ouluo who moved to the south is also called Jiaozhi.
The original meaning of the carved inscription Jiaozhi refers to the custom of sitting cross-legged with tattooed foreheads in the ancient Shu Kingdom.
In the eyes of Central Plains Huaxia, sitting cross-legged is actually uncivilized and uncivilized and very barbaric. Therefore, it is also contempt for them to call them Ouluo.
Later, Zhao Tuo launched the third battle against Baiyue, which was actually a battle against these Jiaozhi people in Honghe Sanjiaozhou. Zhao Tuo defeated Jiaozhi Ouluo.
Qin died, Zhao Tuo closed the pass and Juedao, annexed Lingnan Xiangjun and Guilin, and established the Nanyue Kingdom. He called himself the Nanyue Wuwang, and his capital was Panyu, Guangzhou. He lived to be 103 years old and reigned for 67 years.
As the deputy commander of the 500,000 Qin Army's Southern Expedition, he actually led the Qin Nan Expedition Army and ruled Lingnan for a total of 81 years.
After his death, the Nanyue Kingdom was handed down to the fourth generation. It lasted for 91 years, until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent 100,000 troops to conquer South Vietnam, destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, and Lingnan re-entered the Central Plains.
At that time, the Nanyue Kingdom established by Zhao Tuo implemented the policy of harmony and Baiyue, and introduced the advanced farming technology and advanced culture of the Central Plains, so that the Lingnan area quickly and steadily entered the farming civilization from the primitive and backward slash-and-burn clan society, and began to Maritime trade, lacquerware, silk, pottery and bronze wares, started the Maritime Silk Road.
In addition, the Nanyue Kingdom also destroyed Ouluo and expanded to the south.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, he set up ten counties in the former land of Nanyue, among which Jiaozhi County had ten counties.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, served as the prefect for 40 years, forming an independent separatist regime, which was later taken over by Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. From Wei, Jin to Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Central Plains continued to send gentry and others to the south, so that although Lingnan was restricted, it never broke away. As a result, big families such as the Gaoliang Feng family, the Longzhou Chen family, and the Ningyue Ning family have been formed, but in general, they have always been in the Central Plains.
"The savages are admitting cowardice now?"
Xu Jingzong sighed in surprise, Qin Lang's thousands of troops looked pretty good, but if they were really compared with Chang'an Emperor's Forbidden Army, they were far behind, even the elite soldiers of Nanya were far behind Much better than this.
It can only be said that the southern barbarians really don't have much knowledge.
"It can't be said that way. In fact, there are many people in Lingnan who have seen the world. Brother Feng An, Feng Xuan, Ning Changzhen, Chen Longshu, Chen Zhilue, and Tan Dian Fusan, they have all been to the Central Plains and met the emperor. Those who are close to the army." Qin Lang said with a smile, but it is precisely because these people have seen the outside world and seen the real heavenly soldiers and generals, all the strongest earth kings in Lingnan have always had a crush on the Central Plains court. Awe.
Usually fighting and killing is nothing more than crying and making noise. Once the Central Plains really gets angry, they are still very scared.
Qin Lang's thousands of soldiers and horses are not very strong, but they represent the soldiers of the Central Plains.
is the royal teacher of the imperial court.
Qin Lang standing here is not a general with thousands of people, but the attitude of the Central Plains court.
From the Ouluo Kingdom of the Jiaozhi people to the Nanyue Kingdom of Zhao Tuo, they were not actually countries established by local barbarians.
After the military parade, there will be a banquet and entertainment.
At the banquet, Qin Lang directly began to appoint officials.
Before he left for the south, the emperor gave him the power to depose him. After the chaos in Guizhou earlier, the emperor sent someone to Qin Lang to send a large number of blank confessions that had been stamped with the seal of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The young emperor personally signed and sealed the blank knighting edict.
Official positions below the third rank, and titles below the Marquis, Qin Lang can directly confer titles, and then report to the imperial court and go through a procedure.
"Chen Longshu Rongzhou Inspector, Yinzhou Shifeng Inspector, Songping County Duke, Jin Ziguanglu Doctor!"
"Emperor Tanmin Hengzhou Inspector, Du Anzhou Shifeng Inspector, Yelang County Duke, Huaihua General!"
"Designation of Fusan Zuozhou Inspector ·······Duo Fusang as Youzhou Inspector······"
·······
A series of official titles were announced in public.
It is written on gold-flowered five-color satin paper for official posts, and the big seal of "Shangshu Libu sue" is stamped on it, followed by Zhongshu Shengge Shizhong, Menxia Province Huangmen Shilang, Shizhong, and left and right servants. signature stamp.
It is a very formal official report, and it is also the official letter of appointment and official certificate.
Now the names and official positions of barbarians are impressively written on it. In fact, these were originally special blank affidavits with only stamped and signed names. Now the names and official positions on it are filled in by Qin Lang just yesterday.
In addition to suing the body, there is also a knighted book, which is also a stamped blank book, which Qin Lang just filled out last night.
Chen Longshu was the first to step forward and knelt to the north to thank Tianen.
"Thank you Xuanxiang."
Chen Longshu reached out to pick it up, but Qin Lang didn't hand it to him.
Dugu Yanyun on one side reminded him, "Mr. Chen, it is an old rule that when an official receives a lawsuit, he has to pay Zhujiao silk money, commonly known as the official complaint fee."
Chen Longshu froze for a moment.
He didn't expect this, so he reached out to touch his body, but he couldn't find the money for a while.
can only smile awkwardly.
Qin Lang said to him, "This vermilion glue scroll money is actually the material fee for the official report. You see, it uses the best golden flower and five-color silk paper. This kind of paper can only be produced by Shaofu Jianyu Zhifang. It is not cheap to make it, a piece of paper can cost thousands of dollars, and this scroll is also made of high-quality materials, and the cost of manual watch assembly and so on.”
"Of course, this money is only collected for the imperial court, and it will be handed over to the imperial court later."
"The lower official understands."
Chen Longshu didn't bother with this trivial matter, and immediately asked someone to bring it.
"It doesn't need to be like this. I just remind Mr. Chen that there is this fee. As for the money, Mr. Chen can just send someone to pay it later."
However, Chen Longshu insisted on suing before taking the case, "The imperial system must not be broken!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately went to the door and summoned his followers to ask him to get the money.
Everyone waited.
A moment later, Chen Longshu's followers brought him a bundle.
"Xuanxiang, these copper coins are the sue money that should be paid according to the court rules, and the other money is the money issued with the imperial edict. The remaining gold, silver and jewelry are paid by the officials to His Majesty."
What a big bag of gold, silver and jewelry.
Gold is not simple gold ingots and nuggets, but gold wares, which are well-shaped and fine, and are of great artistic value. There are also several pieces of silver wares and jade wares, and there are also many Nanpu pearls.
This bag of Qin Lang is estimated to be worth tens of thousands.
The pearl is as big as a pigeon's egg.
The gemstone is bright and dazzling.
This Chen Longshu really has some background, he has been down and down for decades, and now he can take out these casually.
Qin Lang refused to accept.
Chen Longshu insisted on giving, firstly, to express his gratitude to the emperor, secondly, to show his loyalty, and thirdly, to say that the imperial court is now going to crusade against the Turkic Jieli Khan, which is considered a military donation.
"Since this is Mr. Chen's loyalty, then I will accept it on behalf of His Majesty. Come here, record these books, seal them in a box, and send them back to Chang'an tomorrow for His Majesty."
What Chen Longshu did made the barbarian kings behind him all amazed.
They marveled at Chen Longshu's ability to flatter, but few thought that he would make everyone lose money by doing so. For the barbarian kings, they were all chiefs who commanded a stream. Who didn't have any foundation?
Gold, silver, ivory rhino horn and pearls may be very valuable in the Central Plains, but there are quite a lot of them here.
The barbarian kings usually trade, and often use these as trading currency, so there is no shortage of these things.
Tan Dian came to lead the case, of course, Chen Longshu couldn't be compared.
He bought two bags of gold, silver and jewelry directly, both in style and quantity surpassed Chen Longshu's, and he still felt that he didn't show his identity.
So he deliberately asked someone to carry the Bronze King Drum that he brought with him.
The huge bronze drum weighing a thousand jin is not as good as the ten thousand jin thunder **** bronze drum in Tan Dianzhai, but it is already used by him when he usually fights outside.
The Liaoman come from the same source, and they all worship the **** of thunder and frogs, so each village has bronze drums. There are many copper mountains in Lingnan, so the copper smelting skills of the Liao barbarians are good. Every village has bronze drums, and the more powerful the bronze drums are, the bigger they are.
Those who can be a barbarian king can't get along without a bronze drum weighing more than a thousand catties.
The bronze drums of the barbarian kings are not only large, but also have exquisite totem patterns such as thunder patterns, frog patterns, and cloud patterns on them.
"This thousand-jin bronze drum with the frog god's cloud pattern will be given to Minister Xuan. If Xiang Xiang has a call, send someone to carry this drum to my stream, and beat this drum, and all streams within hundreds of miles will obey the call. !"
If a thousand-jin bronze drum is melted into minted coins, it will only cost more than a hundred guan, but the exquisite carvings and the beautiful drum sound are definitely exquisite works of art, and a few thousand guan will definitely be worth it.
And if this drum is really as miraculous as Tan Dian said, and when the Frog God drum sounds, all Baili Mountain will obey, then it will be worth a million dollars.
"Tan Gong, this is your barbarian handsome drum, how dare I accept it!"
"Duke Wei patrolled Tiannan on behalf of Xuanfu Lingnan. If you encounter someone who is arrogant and disrespectful, Xuanshuai can send someone to beat the drum to call. Kill all the guys!" Tan Dian shouted murderously.
Qin Lang chuckled.
These savages are really interesting. They all look thick, but they are still thick and thin.
"The respect is worse than obedience, so I will accept it."
Seeing that Qin Lang had accepted the confession money, imperial edict money, and the tribute to the emperor, as well as the barbarian drum for Qin Lang, Tan Dian happily accepted the imperial edict and the copper seal.
Hengzhou Inspector, Huaihua General, Anzhou Inspector, Yelang County Duke.
Well, the title of Lord Yelang, could it be that Qin Lang is intentionally implying or warning me something?
