After Pei Guan left Youzhou, he headed towards Liangxiang and Fanyang.
Among the thirteen counties in Peiping, Liangxiang is the old county. After the household registration movement and the migration from Kansai, there are currently more than 5,000 households and more than 26,000 people. Among them, there are about 15,000 "old Peiping people", and the rest are all
New immigrants or newly settled Fanhu - strictly speaking, these are also "old Peiping people".
Looking at the entire Beiping Prefecture, there are currently about 77,000 households and 400,000 people in the 13 counties. After more than ten years of war, only 60% of the "old Peiping people" are new Tibetan people.
Hu and immigrants.
Pei Guan is from Guanzhong. From his true heart, he certainly hopes that the more immigrants from Guanzhong, the better.
During the Huangchao Rebellion, thanks to the fierce fighting of the saints, the northern half of Jingzhao Mansion was relatively well preserved. The saints sat in Fuping and beat Zhang Quanyi, Meng Kai, Li Xiang and others to the ground, and thwarted Chao's army's attempts to go north several times.
The people in the eight counties of Fuping were grateful for his kindness and praised him. When the soldiers of the king of Lingwu County arrived, the people won food and followed the scenery. Young people who were familiar with bow and horse came to his tent and begged for his services. There was even a feeling of being a sister of the Feng family in Fuping County.
A beautiful story about a saint’s righteous deeds and his personal service.
The western half of Guanzhong was controlled by the imperial court. Especially Fengxiang Mansion, which was the headquarters of Zheng Tian, the commander of all Taoist camps. In the Battle of Longweipo, several generals of the Killing Nest Army beheaded more than 20,000 people, defeating its western half.
advance intention.
Overall, Guanzhong's population preservation is quite good, and it has been the main force in the export of foreign immigrants in recent years.
Almost 89% of the population in Henan Prefecture, Ruzhou, Mengzhou, and Huaizhou are immigrants from Kansai who came later.
Half of the people in Jinzhou, Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Zhengzhou and other places are from Kansai.
Judging from the distribution, they are basically the places where Huang Chao, Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru and Li Han caused harm. The saints moved to Guanxi to the landless and landless poor people, or the Helong Qiang and Hu slaves, and gave them farmland and homes.
Over the past ten years, the dilapidated counties and villages have slowly regained their vitality. In the eyes of many people, these states and counties are the iron plate of Kansai and are the external extension of the military and political power of Kansai.
"Sui Envoy Pei, will the sage place our Feilong Army in Beiping Mansion? I think this place is very good. It has mountains, water and fields. It should be very nourishing to live in." The speaker was Baishui Lilizheng, Fuye Township, Liangxiang County.
, a former Feilong army chief, had just retired and moved his family to Liangxiang County.
Like many warriors since ancient times, the Feilong Army lived with their families near the military camps when they were guarding the border without registering in the local area. The Feilong Army fought in Johor for a long time, and its family members were scattered around the military camps in the three states of Shengzhou, Shen, and Johor.
The warriors received money and food as a reward for living, and then reclaimed some wasteland that could be reclaimed as additional income.
However, after the imperial court's reorganization, the families of the Forbidden Army officers and soldiers stationed in the surrounding counties of Luoyang settled down there, distributed their fields, and settled down.
It is precisely because of this that Shao Shude rotates the soldiers, serving them for one or two years, and then returning to the garrison for half a year to calm the morale of the soldiers.
In fact, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the families of the Forbidden Army officers also lived near the military camps. Because land was scarce and the court did not prohibit annexation, they relied entirely on military pay to survive.
As one of the Forbidden Army horse teams (Flying Dragon, Golden Sword, Black Silk, Iron Cavalry, Silver Spear, Dingnan, Flying Bear, Silver Saddle), it is human nature for the officers and soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army to want to find a good place to live.
Moreover, their vision is relatively high. As for the Forbidden Army, it is best to place them in the important areas of Gyeonggi Province. Beiping Prefecture is the northern capital, and all conditions are reasonable. The Feilong Army is still willing to live here.
"Well - I shouldn't presume to guess the Holy Will." Pei Guan smiled and said, "What? When I was supervising the army in Rouzhou, weren't you quite satisfied there?"
"It's really good to have houses, fields, and pastures. But after seeing the prosperity of the metropolis, I felt that Jozhou was not a decent place." Li Zheng smiled and said, "Don't talk about us, even the soldiers who came from Chen Xu felt that If you can't do it in Rouzhou, we will try our best to make meritorious service and get rewarded so that we can return to Henan. The imperial army is gathered around Luoyang, so we won't join in the fun. Beiping Mansion still needs elite soldiers to guard it. When the Feilong Army comes, there will be no way to protect Xiaoxiao."
Pei Guan secretly laughed in his heart. As for your military discipline, if you don't strictly rectify it, you will probably make a big fuss when you come to Beiping Mansion.
"Sun Dalang, your whole family has settled in a good hometown, why do you worry so much?" Pei Guan laughed and scolded: "Where the Feilong Army will be settled in the future, the imperial court will make its own arrangements."
"Bah! The court knows what--" Sun Dalang just finished speaking, but stopped under Pei Guan's eyes.
Pei Guan was too aware of the virtues of these warriors. They were arrogant, domineering, and bold, and they did not keep their mouth shut. So he changed his words: "All matters in the imperial court are determined by the saints."
Sun Dalang was speechless now. He dared to rebel against the imperial court, but he did not dare to rebel against the saints. He could only mutter: "The Yan people cannot be trusted. The important place in the capital is better to be filled with one's own people."
Pei Guan smiled perfunctorily.
He was a little afraid. If the saint collapsed one day, where would he find a ruthless person to suppress these warriors?
It's nearly August, the autumn harvest is around the corner, and the countryside is booming everywhere.
The trauma of the Bedhu Rebellion gradually healed, and the Fanhu tribe, who had not been kings for a long time, paid food to the court for the first time. Judging from their faces, there seemed to be no dissatisfaction, except for a little confusion and uneasiness - to the head Is there a big difference between people paying money and paying money to the court?
The only source of uneasiness may be that there is no longer a tribal chief to protect him from the wind and rain. The organization has been broken up, and he feels a little helpless.
Yes, the tribal chiefs not only exploited them, but also protected them.
The chiefs united their tribesmen to resist the shogunate's excessive levies and unreasonable conscription requirements, thus ensuring the interests of their tribesmen to a certain extent.
But correspondingly, they also ensure the interests of their descendants through the so-called nobility of blood, strict hierarchy, and harsh tribal lynching. The resources consumed by their extravagant and extravagant desires all come from the donations of the tribesmen.
Which one is good or which one is bad is really hard to say.
But they had no choice. They were dispersed and resettled one by one, registered as household registrations, registered, and planned to be granted land and become kings.
There is no going back to the past.
****
The northern section of the Taihang Mountains meanders eastward to Yanshan Mountain, stretching from east to west, blocking transportation between the north and the south.
During the pre-Qin period, the Dai Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom were established in the north and south of the mountain range respectively, both of which were non-Chinese people.
The Kingdom of Dai occupies the Sanggan River Valley at the northern foot and has its capital at Dai City. The Kingdom of Zhongshan occupies the southern foothills and its capital is Zhongshan.
The State of Zhao came out of Yanmen and merged with the territory. However, Zhongshan was very powerful. Taking advantage of the mountainous terrain, they fought against Zhao for many years. Until King Wu Ling, who was in Hufu, rode and shot, the national power greatly increased. He overran the territory and finally destroyed Zhongshan. From then on, the State of Zhao
Chase.
There was a break in the mountains between the Dai Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom to form a pass, which was called Feihu Pass.
Feihuxing Road is eighty or ninety miles long.
The south entrance is in Heishiling, which belongs to Feihu County in Yuzhou. Pei Guan arrived here on the first day of August.
There were no soldiers, no generals, no walls, and it was all desolate.
"The north wind withers the white grass, and the horses are rustling in the sun. King Wuling of Zhao conquered the land and conquered Zhongshan, and finally became a great lord. If Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty could use Li Bi's words, he would march eastward from Yunzhou, take Wei, Gui, and enter Fanyang
, If you are really determined, great things can be accomplished." Pei Guan looked at the scene of white clouds and yellow grass here, and the literati burst out with emotion.
Most of the followers were palace guards, but they were not as interested as he was. They just kept looking at the nearby terrain to see if there were any thieves hiding.
After Pei Guan finished sighing, he did not enter Xingdao, but went west through Shimen Pass and entered Yuzhou.
He stayed in Yuzhou for several days, comforting the soldiers and civilians on behalf of the saint.
On the eighth day of August, the group arrived at Pingxing Pass in the northeast of Daizhou and sent envoys to enter the pass with a clear purpose.
Pingxingguan Town heard that the envoy from Xia State, as well as the daughter and son-in-law of the King of Jin, did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent a messenger to Daizhou to ask Li Siyuan to make a decision, and invited Pei Guan and more than ten people into the pass.
Pei Guan suddenly understood. When the two families were at war, when had they ever been so polite?
Li Siyuan may not have told the general what to do. It was mostly left to him to do his own thing, which is very interesting.
Not to mention this, on the evening of the same day, the town general Liu Yu also held a private banquet to entertain Pei Guan, Wang Yu and others.
"Oh? So it turns out that General Liu used to shoot straight in front of his horse?" Pei Guan asked pretending to be surprised.
"In the past, Li Cunjin was the military envoy and I was the deputy envoy. Later, he committed an offense and was expelled from Ma Qian Yin Qian Zhi, and became a town general at Zhenxingguan." Liu Yu didn't mean to hide anything and said truthfully.
"That's a coincidence." Pei Guan stroked his beard and said, "Li Cunjin is now the deputy envoy of Hengye Army, guarding Yingzhou, and is a general of the country."
When Liu Yu heard this, he was a little envious and said: "Li Cunjin has come ashore."
The Hengye Army may not be the Forbidden Army, but so what? Even if it is abolished in the future, these generals will have arrangements, and at the worst they will be the governor of a state - wouldn't Li Si'en be the governor of Huazhou? That place is so rich that one year
I don't know how much money I can make.
If you can get some meritorious service before the abolition, it will not be difficult to get a title. As for separatist rule, it is probably impossible. Besides, Liu Jun's current status is not high, so he doesn't think that far ahead.
"Hey, why do you have to say that?" Pei Guan said with a smile: "Xia, Jin is originally a family. The King of Jin and Jin Shang are sworn brothers. I heard that Jin Shang also intends to marry his sworn brother, so why don't we go ashore?
When we get ashore, we are all one family."
Liu Jun nodded and said: "Seeing that King Xia - well, the saint is about to unify the north, but he didn't know that we were waiting..."
"Liu Xun is already the Marquis of Yu, the capital of Pinglu Army." Pei Guan said.
Liu Yu suddenly realized and laughed and said: "It is rumored that the King of Jin used Hedong as a betrothal gift to marry the princess of Daxia for Yazi. Jin and Xia are indeed one family. General Liu is capable and can serve in the Pinglu Army.
The saint is generous and benevolent."
After that, he toasted again and again.
Pei Guan also laughed, not rejecting anyone who came, and drank them all in one gulp.
In fact, Li Keyong also knew about the rumor Liu Jun mentioned just now, and had strictly prohibited it from being discussed.
Liu Yu didn't dare to say it before, but now, since the news came that King Jin was seriously ill, many people have subconsciously relaxed, and no one cares about the rumors.
After toasting, Liu Yu introduced his family to Pei Guan.
Liu Jun's eldest son Liu Zhiyuan and second son Liu Chongyan, both eleven years old, were born to his wife An.
Well, the embarrassing thing is that in the past, when Liu Jun was not getting rich, his family was poor, so An had remarried Murong Sanlang, a fellow villager, and gave birth to a son, Murong Yanchao. After Liu Jun got rich, Murong Yanchao also came, and Liu Jun didn't mind either.
He is very good. Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Chongyan also regard him as a brother.
Pei Guan still knew a little bit about the situation of Liu Jun's family. He didn't have the nerve to ask whether An was snatched back by Liu Jun. He just praised the young man a few times and was polite.
It was also the first time for the three young men to see an envoy from a great power. They were all respectful and did not dare to violate the rules.
At three o'clock in the morning, the banquet was over.
After leaving the banquet hall, Pei Guan and Wang Yu looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Not bad!
Through Liu Jun's every move, Pei Guan had a certain understanding of what the generals in Hedong were thinking.
There will be opportunities later, so I will observe more along the way. I hope this Liu Yu is not an exception.
