Although Annan has been "belonging to the north" for thousands of years, just like there are a large number of Jimizhou tribes in the southwest, northwest, and northeast, the Annan people do not consider themselves Han, Liang, Sui, or Tang people...
For example, during the Han Dynasty, Li Qin from Jiaozhi was promoted to Sili Xiaowei, and Zhang Zhong from Rinan was appointed as the prefect of Jincheng. "Then our Yue people will have to choose the same person as the Han people, Li Qin and Li Jin." - Li Jin in the Eastern Han Dynasty
During the emperor's reign, he was the governor.
During the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, the Jiaozhi people from Bingshao were "rich in rhetoric and sought out officials." The Minister of Civil Affairs, Cai Chu, had no previous sages with the surname Bing, except Guangyang Tingtong. Shao Shao returned to his hometown, raised troops from Li Ben, and captured Jiaozhou.
Xiao Zhen ran away.
It can be seen that they are very sensitive in their hearts and care about their own identity.
The reason is actually insufficient development. Simply proposing a Jizhou Prefecture as Zhengzhou is not enough. A lot of supporting work is required - Bozhou was Zhengzhou in the Tang Dynasty, but there were still a large number of Zangzhou barbarian tribes in the state.
in a state of autonomy.
After Shao Shude read through the archives about Vietnam, he basically came to the conclusion: if there is no territory that has been completely digested, then it is just a map to open up the territory and enjoy it.
"Jiang Qing, besides the Aizhou Jiang family, what other big families are there in Annan?" Shao Shude summoned Jiang Zhiwei in the Linbo Pavilion and went straight to the topic. In addition to secretary Lang Cuishu, there was also Qin King Shao Chengjie. Jiang Zhiwei one by one.
Greetings.
"Your Majesty, the Li family, Li family, Liao family, Du family, Huang family, Fengzhou Luo family, Ruan family, etc. are also big families." After Jiang Zhiwei finished speaking, he introduced these big families in detail.
Some of them are Vietnamese natives, and some have immigrated from the Central Plains. They are considered to be influential local figures. Shao Shude looked at the map and found that they were mainly concentrated in the Red River Delta area, and they were located inland, not in the coastal zone.
This surprised him, who was used to watching the colonial process of later generations. Western colonists came from the sea, so they colonized coastal areas first, and then went deep into the interior along rivers. China directly selected areas suitable for farming in the interior for colonization, and coastal beaches
The zone was abandoned.
This is the difference between maritime colonization and land colonization.
Jiaozhou, Fengzhou and coastal Aizhou were basically the core territory of the former Tang Dynasty in Annan. They were roughly located in the Hanoi, Phu Tho and Thanh Hoa areas of present-day Vietnam, and were surrounded on all sides by Jixi indigenous people like an isolated island.
The Sinicized area is surrounded by barbarians. This colonial situation is indeed a bit dangerous. The Li people (or Li people) are one of the indigenous ethnic groups distributed in the Wuguan area.
"The Du family in Jiaozhou, are they the clansmen of Du Shenyan back then?" Shao Shude asked. Du Shenyan was once exiled to Fengzhou and wrote the poem "Living in Annan".
In addition to Du Shenyan, Shen Quanqi was also exiled to Huanzhou (today's Vinh City, Vietnam) and wrote poems such as "First Reaching Canzhou" and "Du'anhai Enters the Dragon". "No. He is a descendant of Du Huidu in the Jin Dynasty."
"Could Du Yingce, the former Tang Annan's deputy envoy, be from the same clan?"
"Du Yingce is just clinging to the Du family. He is from the Xidong chieftain. However, the descendants of Du Yingce are also from a large family in Jiaozhou, with a large number of tribes." "Are there people from these families among the envoys from the Annan states this year?" Shao Shude
asked again.
"Yes, there is someone from the Du family in Jiaozhou who came to Beijing as an envoy to the Jiaozhou court and lived in the Jinzou Courtyard." Jiang Zhiwei replied.
"Send people back to Annan and summon the sons of these wealthy families to the capital for an audience." Shao Shude said.
"I obey your order," Jiang Zhiwei replied.
He understood that the saint was going to inspect these families to see if there was any possibility of reuse. Once they were favored, not to mention rewards, official positions were possible.
In addition, he also vaguely speculated that the gathering of these wealthy families was related to the recently rumored imperial examination results? The saint wanted to see the level of the literati in the Annan states so as to determine the admission quota?
"This matter will be handled as soon as possible, I will wait." Shao Shude finally said. Jiang Zhiwei bowed and resigned.
****
"My son, what do you think about this?" Shao Shude asked after Jiang Zhiwei retreated.
The palace attendants removed the previous tea and snacks and brought in new batches, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
"Grandpa, the Annan Tu people are waiting and watching." Shao Chengjie is twenty-five years old this year. After so many years of experience, he is much calmer and sees problems more comprehensively.
"What's the wait-and-see approach?" Shao Shude asked.
"If the imperial court fails to annihilate Liu Yin, it will make the five Tu tribes and barbarians look down upon them, and the powerful Annan will also cause trouble." Shao Chengjie said. "So sure?"
"I have seen too many of these natives." Shao Chengjie said confidently: "In the past, when Li Maozhen was being challenged, the barbarians from all the states were waiting and watching. If the king's army was defeated, they would rebel, and even if Maozhen won, he would be the best.
The victory was tragic, and we were unable to control it, so we could only appease it. These barbarians were trying to gain benefits from both sides between Daxia and Nanzhao, and they were very ambitious."
"There is ambition, but not that big." Shao Shude smiled.
The border barbarians have always had their own philosophy of survival, and being a loser is an important skill. The more powerful leaders not only accept canonization from the Central Plains, but also accept official positions offered by Tubo and Nanzhao, and because of their unique geographical location, they can
There is no need to pay taxes, no military service, and sometimes you can receive large rewards.
Chiefs with weak skills will have to pay tribute to both parties, which is miserable.
It is beneficial to go out for experience. Erlang saw the virtues of these people with his own eyes, which enriched his knowledge system. He will also have his own judgment in the future, rather than just what officials say.
Some emperors believed everything the officials said, not because he was stupid, but because he really didn’t understand and didn’t know. Most of the information he got was filtered before being submitted, and he lacked his own understanding.
and judgment, this is also a helpless matter.
Perhaps this is the reason why the Daxing spies were involved in spy politics, because the emperors lived in deep palaces and had limited information channels. "You also read the military newspaper in Guangzhou, how about it?" Shao Shude asked again.
The various armies encircled and suppressed the Qing navy, and only experienced a few decent battles at the beginning, such as Wang Shenzhi's attack on Chaozhou. There were more than ten battles, large and small, which were quite fierce, although the fighting level was not necessarily high.
However, after the initial battle, the main force of the Qing navy suffered serious losses and had to retreat to the vicinity of Guangzhou. As a result, various groups of troops advanced one after another, and other abandoned states and counties surrendered one after another, and even turned against the enemy.
By the end of November, people from all walks of life had arrived on the outskirts of Guangzhou, and the encirclement was already quite obvious.
Liu Yin is basically finished. He is now a dead man.
The news from the south has been delivered to Beiping Mansion through the express post, and Shao Chengjie naturally saw it. At this time, his father mentioned it and said: "The Fujian soldiers are actually capable of fighting. They were all formed after the Henan soldiers went south. The five-level army
, Traffic management is not as good as Wen Tianwuxi, it’s okay, but other things, I don’t think it’s good.”
He has a higher vision now.
Latin joined the army in Shuzhong, and he immediately raised more than 100,000 troops. He was "worse" than Li Maozhen, who had the same large-scale troop explosion. In the end, he relied on the "less bad" troop quality and a few elite troops, which took several years.
, defeated the various separatist forces in Sanchuan in turn, captured and executed more than 150,000 troops and forced them to land.
However, these temporary soldiers were beyond his discernment. Counting Li Maozhen's surrender, the number was close to 200,000. In the end, only 50,000 were selected, and the rest were sent away.
These 50,000 Shu soldiers were very powerful in central Guizhou, winning consecutive battles, and their military quality was constantly improving, but in his opinion, they were still a step behind the Forbidden Army.
The Shu soldiers who had experienced many years of war were like this. He didn't think that the Fujian soldiers and horses, which had been in peace for many years, were of much value. If he had to choose the tallest among the shortest, he thought the Fujian soldiers were even better. After all, Wang Chao and his gang were all
He is a Cai thief. Even if he is old now and has retired from the army, the quality of the Fujian troops they "Cai transformed" should still be good - Wang Shenzhi's nephew Wang Huadu defected from Huainan, and as soon as he went into battle, he went straight to the army.
They rushed into Liu Yan's main formation and killed seven of his followers, forcing Liu Yan to flee in panic and the entire army was defeated.
"I'm asking you how the battle in Guangzhou is going. Don't ramble on." Shao Shude said.
Shao Chengjie smiled awkwardly and said: "Father, Liu Yin will definitely be defeated. He is not a highly prestigious martial artist. It's just that after Li Zhirou died, no one accepted the other's favor. In the end, they compromised with each other and introduced a figure like him. Er Ruo went to fight.
, Kick this guy’s butt twice, and he won’t be able to get up.” “You hang around with warriors all day long, and you talk in such a careless manner,” Shao Shude said with a frown.
Your father hangs out with talented women, and his words are more pleasant than yours, and he doesn't imitate them.
However, although his words were a bit arrogant, they contained real insights and Erlang was an understanding person.
"Da Yi Zhuan has been captured by me, and it seems that Liu Yin will be next. After the attack on Guangzhou, the five commanders stopped the town, and the Jiedu envoys entered the court. Behind them are Ma Yin and Yang Wo. It is not difficult to predict...
"..." Shao Shude said happily: "Everything in the world happens here."
"The princes have come to the west one after another, and I would like to congratulate Your Majesty." Cui Shui put down the pen and paper for recording and said in his hand.
"Haha!" The smile on Shao Shude's face spread, and then he looked at his son and said: "After the New Year, you will go to Ezhou to preside over the war against Ma Yin. I will give you two forbidden troops, as well as Hengye and Guang
The Second Czech Army and the Five Troops of Soldiers and Horses will also cooperate in the attack, striving to wipe out the Ma Yin forces in one fell swoop."
"Yes." Shao Chengjie said excitedly.
Guiguan (Jingjiang Army) among the Five Guans is under the control of Ma Yin, so it needs Lingnan West Road, Ningyuan Army to attack together, and perhaps Guangguan to surrender troops. In short, it is to advance from north to south, and the victory is completed in one battle.
"After the fight, don't be in a hurry to come back and comfort the people of Hunan." Shao Shude said again: "Take your wife to Ezhou too. How can you behave like a twenty-five-year-old who doesn't even have an heir?"
"Yes." Shao Chengjie replied honestly. In the next few days, Shao Shude will be waiting for the New Year.
At this moment, he received two pieces of news one after another: Gao Renhou and Nori Susuki died of illness one after another.
In this regard, he could only sigh.
The people who followed him thirty years ago were basically in the range of 50-70 years old. People are born, old, sick and die, and there is no way. Even he is fifty-two this year, and he will be fifty-three after the New Year.
There are fewer and fewer people accompanying him, but he will continue on this path firmly until the end of his life.
