Chapter 925 Nanzhao Anu
But no matter what, Nanzhong is really in chaos now, completely in chaos.
Those who have vengeance revenge, and those who have grievances avenge their grievances, the chaos has become a pot of porridge.
Not only the two Cuan on the Dianchi Lake side, but also the various edicts on the Erhai Lake side to the west, but this time it is not an anti-Tang, but a challenge to the former boss Cuan.
The Erhai tribes headed by the Liuzhao raised their flags one after another, claiming to insist on supporting the central government and attacking the rebellious Cuan clan. They seemed to forget that Xi Cuan, who nominally represented the orthodox Cuan clan, was also on the side of the court, and they directly smashed Cuan Shi Quan fell to the ground.
Nanzhao is the most active among all the edicts, jumping up and down, pulling the rest of the edicts to negotiate, with the six edicts as the leader, to establish a Heman alliance.
Shi Duan Zhixuan, governor of Xining Prefecture, took the opportunity to stand up and personally lead the troops south to Yaozhou to meet the leaders of the Six Chaos in Yao'an City. Kissing Duan Zhixuan's boots directly, and crying to win the Tang Dynasty's rebellion against the Cuan clan.
Duan Zhixuan is very satisfied with this guy. Although he thinks this guy's performance is exaggerated, Datang needs this kind of person now, even if it is superficially submissive.
So Duan Zhixuan invited the court, saying that this slave Aluo could be reused.
The imperial court also reacted quickly, and appointed Duan Zhixuan, the chief governor of Xining Prefecture, to be in charge of controlling the western part of Yunnan Road in addition to controlling the southern area of Jiannan Road. The imperial court assigned the western Yunnan area to Yao'an and Erhai as the two governor's mansions, and it was controlled by Duan Zhixuan.
For Xi Nu Aluo recommended by Duan Zhixuan, the imperial court specially conferred the title of Inspector of Mengshe Prefecture and General Huaihua.
Although the Baiman tribe in western Yunnan responded to the imperial court, most of the Wuman tribe in Yunnan still rebelled, and even the fire of rebellion quickly spread to central Guizhou, Guangxi and other places.
In the past, these places were blank areas under the rule of the Central Plains court. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, many barbarian chieftains from various places also paid tribute to the court and were awarded official positions such as governor and county magistrate.
However, since Qin Lang pacified the barbarians in Lingnan, he began to overturn the previous policies, and directly carried out drastic reforms to return the land to the locals. He directly forcibly established prefectures and counties in those barbaric areas, divided townships, and established Baojia.
Then the chiefs’ privileges of detention were abolished, there was no longer hereditary, and they no longer enjoyed tax and conscript rights. In short, the sky changed overnight.
The Tang army marched in, and began to station troops and build forts in key places. Following the military family members, immigrants also began to come in.
Establish household Qimin, collect food and conscripts...
The traditional order is collapsing, and a new order is beginning to be established. For many ordinary barbarians, the arrival of these Tang people does not seem to affect them too much, and even brings more good things outside, cheaper, and of high quality Better salt, all kinds of handicrafts, etc., at good prices and high quality.
More importantly, many local products in their mountains have also been asked for, which greatly increased their income. Even the newly planned roads started to be built, which not only facilitated their transportation, but also started to hire the barbarians along the route to do things, with wages, and the wages were not bad.
It was just these changes that deeply touched the interests of the barbarian chiefs.
In the past, they were the emperors of the land, and the villages below had to pay taxes to them, and even conscripts and labor were free, and the chiefs at the first level shared the corresponding privileges.
But now, the right to enjoy tax and free labor is gone.
Immediately afterwards, the large tracts of land they own, etc., will start to pay taxes.
Then, they found that their judicial and other privileges were gone. They used to be the law, but now they only have the law of the king and the law of the Tang Dynasty.
Countless barbarian chiefs finally found a leader, so they incited their troops to rebel, which was even faster than the last Juding Rebellion.
The Nanpanjiang, Beipanjiang, Hongshuihe and other river basins began to see large-scale rebellions. Even the left and right Ximan who were subdued in the Juding Rebellion last time began to rebel again.
Beacons are everywhere, and the military situation is flying like snow.
Qin Lang still had the leisure to go to Hainan to bask in the sun, and Niu Jianhu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Any change always has to go through labor pains. Don't look at the barbarians' merriment now. In the future, there will be a list." Qin Lang disagrees, "These are actually in my expectation, and I have already done them. Well prepared, they don't make a fuss, my preparations are useless, and now, this is officially entered the second stage, only when this stage has started, can we move on Only by changing, can the change be stable and solid, otherwise it will be empty."
Niu Jianhu had an exaggerated expression, "You are too scary."
"Please don't be so exaggerated, okay, the expression is too fake."
Niu Jianhu put away his exaggerated expression, "Sanlang, your fishing is too big, so you are not afraid of getting rid of it?"
"What are you playing off? This is called breaking without building. Do you think it's so easy to change the country? Send some soldiers over there, build a few castles to garrison, and then announce it, and it's over? If you were the chiefs, would you be able to obey? I am convinced, but I am not convinced in my heart, if I don’t touch it, I will not be convinced after all.”
Just like the left and right Ximan, it took a lot of bloodshed before and after, before it was finally subdued.
Before, the Zuoxi barbarian king and many barbarian chiefs led tens of thousands of barbarians to surrender, and even committed suicide to apologize, but how long has it been?
The bad nature of people is like this, they have to be forced to that step, but if there is a choice, there will always be someone who wants to gamble.
Even if there is little hope.
"So, on the contrary, that Xinu Aluo from the Nanzhao Kingdom has some strange skeletons, and he looks very good among those barbarians. He stands out from the crowd. Why is this guy so smart?"
Qin Lang smiled, he really knew some details about this Xi Nu Aluo.
"If you don't have some skills, how do you think a farmer became the son-in-law of the king, and even let the king pass the throne to himself?"
Niu Jianhu's eyes widened, "No way, then Xi Nu Aluo is a farmer?"
"That's right, it's a long story. The story of this Xinu Aluo is very legendary. His family was originally the Shelong family of the Ailao royal family. Shelong means a big tiger. Later, because he was persecuted by the Ailao king, he took refuge Moved to Xielong. This Xielong was originally the territory of Ailao State. Later, the Han Dynasty entered Yunnan and forcibly set it up as Xielong County, which was under the jurisdiction of Yizhou. However, after the Han Dynasty withdrew, it was occupied by Hao Chieftain.
Baiziguo of the Zhang family started from the legendary King Renguo in the Warring States Period, to Longyouna in the Three Kingdoms Period, and then to Zhang Lejinqiu in the early Zhenguan period. It has lasted for 33 generations and has a history of more than 700 years. "
Niu Jianhu was even more surprised, "From the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States to the Sui and Tang Dynasties? It lasted for thirty-three generations, bragging? There are such powerful tribes in this barbaric land? Even the Ailao Kingdom is not so long."
Qin Lang didn't refute it, he also believed that although the barbarians have sung the history of Baizi Kingdom for generations, the history must not be all true history.
He believes that Baizi Kingdom must have experienced some dynasty changes in history, just like Linyi Kingdom, from the Han Dynasty to the present, the king's surname is Fan, but in fact, four dynasties have changed, but their kings have used Fan as the Han surname. .
And this Baiziguo may have experienced many changes earlier, but the later people still used the name of the country, and even used the surname Zhang all the time.
Just as Bai Ziguo has been passed down to the present, Zhang Le Jinqiu passed the throne to his son-in-law Xinu Aluo.
Of course, this succession of the throne is not actually a legendary abdication, because Zhang Le Jinqiu does not have a son, even if he does not have a son, the Zhang family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the royal family has many branches, how can it be passed on to outsiders.
It is true that Xinu Aluo was a farmer when he was young, but don’t forget that his ancestors were the Shelong clan of the Ailao royal family. Later, they took refuge in Xielong. , Their power continued to expand and grow, and gradually formed a tribal alliance centered on the Shelong clan in Baizi Kingdom.
Baiziguo is actually just a tribal alliance in essence.
Beginning in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Central Plains continued to expand and colonize the southwest, and countless Han people immigrated. At that time, the immigrants were often entire families. With the intervention of the political and military forces of the dynasty, Han immigrants and businessmen also entered in large numbers, and Han culture spread accordingly. .
Until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, during the seven or eight hundred years, the Han immigrants merged with the local barbarians. Gradually, he became obedient to the customs and embarked on the road of barbarianization.
The Baiman in western Yunnan is actually a group of Han people who immigrated from the southwestern part of the Han Dynasty when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty merged with the local barbarians.
Just like the Cuan family, in the Shu Han Dynasty, it was only a family of the eight major surnames in Nanzhong.
Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty opened up the Southwest. After entering Yunnan, he first entered the Erhai Lake area. Therefore, the former Kunming Yi on the transportation lines of Dali, Xiangyun, and Dayao in later generations merged with the Han people who had continuously immigrated since the Han and Jin Dynasties, forming many tribes.
In Erhai Lake and surrounding areas, there are a large number of tribes scattered, with a large population of 500 or 600 households and a small number of 200 or 300 households. They are mainly engaged in farming. Most of these tribes have Han surnames. Li, Dong, Zhang, etc. are the main ones. They build their own city walls according to the mountains and rivers, and do not fight each other. Culturally, the languages of these tribes are still very close to Chinese. The characters and even customs they use are also close to those of the Han people in the Central Plains. It is originally the civilization of the Central Plains inherited from the Han and Jin Dynasties.
These tribes are actually a system similar to a city-state formed by the Han and Jin colonists after integrating some indigenous barbarians. A city-state alliance was also established between city-states.
Zhang's Baiziguo is actually such an Erhai city-state alliance.
Xinu Aluo was originally a branch of the royal family of the Ailao Kingdom in the ancient country of Dian. After their family moved to Baizi and settled in Baizi, they quickly gained the support of many Ailao people here, and gradually formed a strong ethnic alliance.
In the end, this Shelong tribal alliance launched an impact on Zhang's position as the leader of the Baiziguo city-state alliance. After the war, Zhang was defeated by Shelong. In the end, Zhang had to seek peace and even married his daughter to He sent Xinualao to ask for peace.
This marriage temporarily eased the relationship between the two parties, but it did not maintain peace for too long. The strength of the Shelong tribe became stronger and stronger. In the end, Xinu Aluo launched a final attack on the Zhang family. The Zhang family was defeated and the city-state fell. In the end, King Zhang Lejinqiu also had to 'abide' the throne to Xi Nu Aluo.
After Xinu Aluo accepted the abdication, he also formally established the Great Mongolian Kingdom, calling himself the King of Qijia, and setting his capital at Tushan, Yuyu.
Because this great Mongolian country was established by Shelong people, it is also called Mengshe country outside. Because it is located in the south of Erhai Lake, according to the tradition, the king is also called Zhao, so it is called Nanzhao country.
After hearing this, Niu Jianhu slapped his thigh.
"Damn, I thought this Xinu Aluo was not a good person. He turned out to be a rebellious official who usurped the country and the throne. The Zhang family of Baizi Kingdom should be the descendants of our Central Plains Han immigrants. This is the tragedy of ancient Dian. Have the Laoyi people usurped the Baizi Kingdom established by the descendants of our Han immigrants?"
"Does this dare to bully our Han family?"
Qin Lang rolled his eyes at him, "Baiziguo Zhang's surname was not Zhang originally, but Zhuge Wuhou gave the surname Zhang. Of course, it is also possible that the barbarian royal family back then has long been replaced by the Han immigrant Zhang's family in the past few hundred years." It's possible, but it doesn't matter, it's a mess anyway."
"That's not okay. My uncle's family is named Zhang. The Zhang family is related to Lao Niu's family. How can he be bullied by the barbarians? This slave, A Luo, has to expose his true colors. How can the Tang Dynasty let such a rebellious official and traitor How about being a king safely and being a governor?"
The reason why Qin Lang knew the background of this Xinu Aluo was also because this Xinu Aluo was the founding monarch of Nanzhao Kingdom. Nanzhao Kingdom had a long-standing grievance with Datang in history. The author, he has done special research on these before, so he knows something about it.
Historically, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Yunnan was still dominated by the Cuan family. Later, the Tang Dynasty drove the tigers and swallowed the wolves, and deliberately supported the Nanzhao Kingdom, which was obedient to the Tang Dynasty. First, it helped him conquer other imperial edicts, unify Erhai, and then become stronger. After that, he turned around and went east to attack Cuan's.
Datang's move went very smoothly. Nanzhao successfully wiped out the Cuan family, but it also became a problem. After Nanzhao became the boss of Yunnan, it was no longer willing to be ruled by Datang.
"Actually, Aluo, my servant, is quite capable, and he is so obedient and loyal to Datang. His loyalty should be rewarded."
"Sanlang, don't you discriminate between right and wrong? Rebellious officials and thieves are punishable by everyone. Since Zhang Lejinqiu of Bai Ziguo was once canonized by my Tang emperor as the leader and general, how can he allow others to usurp his throne? My Tang Dynasty naturally won Uphold justice for Mrs. Zhang!"
Qin Lang smiled, "He's abdicating."
"Hey, what kind of abdication, it's obviously forcing the palace."
Having said that, this Xinu Aluo is still very smart, and knows to make a concession. In this way, the Central Plains court will not interfere too much in other people's internal affairs.
But Qin Lang really didn't like this Nanzhao country.
"I have already gone to Xinchumo and Duan Zhixuan to ask General Duan to directly recruit Xinu Aluo to lead the Nanzhao army eastward, and go to Tonghai Mansion to obey Chumo's dispatch."
Niu Jianhu's eyes lit up, "Sanlang, are you planning to borrow a knife to kill someone?"
"How can this be a murder with a knife? Xinu Aluo is sincere, loyal and brave, and the court can't cool his blood, can't he? He wants to fight with all his heart, and the court obeys him. Let him go to the battlefield to beg for rebellion, which is also to show him loyalty. Let him kill a thief and make meritorious service!"
Niu Jianhu laughed, "Indeed!"
Sorry, the update is late. I've been a little bit angry these days. I went to take a look. I wasted a little time and came to a big chapter directly.
