From the Song Dynasty's establishment of Sicheng Prefecture on Guangnan West Road, Yongzhou Youjiang Road in the fifth year of Huangyou's reign, to the current eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Lingyun County has a history of about six hundred years of state, prefecture, and county governance.
Lingyun was the land of Baiyue in ancient times. It belonged to Guilin County in the Qin Dynasty; Yulin County in the Han and Jin Dynasties; Sicheng Prefecture; during the Ming Dynasty, Sicheng Prefecture's Chieftain Cen penetrated into the Guizhou border and governed Luodian, Wangmo, Zhenfeng, Ceheng, Lizhou, Tangxing, Guile, Shanglindong, Anlong, and Gukan Dong, Cheng County, Longchuan.
In the sixth year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Chieftain Cen moved the administration of Sicheng Prefecture to Gukandong, which is now Lingyun City. Sicheng Prefecture became the largest Zhili Prefecture in Guangxi.
The current local magistrate of Sicheng Prefecture, Cen Shaoxun, came to the post at an early age as early as the 30th year of Jiajing. At that time, his father Cen Shi was actually only in his thirties. It is said that he asked the court to let his son take the post in advance because he was injured. Yes, when Cen Shi passed away, Cen Ling had just been born.
Gao Jingshi walked northwest from Tianzhou and followed the road of Chaotingmayi. After Tianzhou, he passed through Bosaimayi, Guilemayi, Dianmayi and then turned northeast to outside Lingyun City. .
Now Lingyun City is already in sight, but the ancients said: "Looking at the mountains will kill the horse." Lingyun City is actually among the mountains. The terrain is very high. Looking from afar, you can even see the city in the mountains shrouded in the mountains. Amidst the clouds and mist.
No wonder it's called Lingyun City, it's really not nonsense.
However, this kind of terrain allowed Gao Pragmatic to understand one thing: back then, Tianzhou Cenmeng's strength surpassed all the chieftains in Guangxi, but he captured Sichengzhou and fought for several years, but he failed to capture Lingyun City. Now look at it It's not that Cen Meng is incompetent, but that the terrain of Lingyun City is too easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but feel a little scared, and thought to himself: Fortunately, I didn't plan to attack this city, otherwise the transportation difficulties alone would have brought down this poor Guangxi.
As a landowner, Cen Ling accompanied Gao Pingshi as he walked freely while helping him introduce the situation of the Cen family: "According to the source, my Cen family is derived from the surname Ji of the Zhou Dynasty. King Wen of Zhou Dynasty named Qu Yu Cen, the son of his half-brother Yao. Ting, Viscount, was born in the northern part of Liang State, and was known as Cenzi. Because of this, his descendants moved to Nanyang, Henan, and it has a history of more than 3,000 years.
There are no written records for more than a thousand years from Zhou to Qin. In the Han Dynasty, Cen Penggong came out, was ordered to conquer Shu, was granted the title of General of the Southern Conquest, was granted the title of Marquis of Wuyin, and was buried in Sichuan. Since the Han Dynasty, there are historical records of our Cen family. , that is, Nanyang was the birthplace of the clan.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were Cen Wenwen, Cen Changqian, Cen Xi and Cen Shen, poets. Cen Shen settled in Sichuan and formed the second branch. In the Song Dynasty, Cen Jingquan moved from Nanyang to Zhejiang and formed the third branch. Cen Zhengshu moved from Zhejiang to Guangdong. , Mianyan became the fourth branch."
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Your family's genealogy research is more detailed than mine. But, if that's the case, how did you end up in Guangxi later?"
Cen Ling smiled, with a look on his face, and explained: "In the fourth year of Emperor You's reign in the Song Dynasty, Cen Zhongshu, the second son of Cen Xiang and Cen Shiheng, followed Di Qing to conquer Nong Zhigao in Guangxi. He was granted a title by the imperial court and settled in Guangxi, becoming Guangxi Cen. The ancestor of the clan.
The Cen family who stayed in Yongzhou developed into the fifth branch. After that, those who moved to the two lakes and Fujian mostly originated from Zhejiang. Those who moved to Yunnan and Guizhou mostly originated from Guangxi.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Cen Tiemur, the eighth descendant of Cen Zhongshu, was in charge of Tianzhou Prefecture, Cen Acilan was in charge of Si'en Prefecture, Cen Numuhan was in charge of Sicheng Prefecture, and Cen Acixin was in charge of Zhen'an Prefecture, thus forming the four branches of Guangxi Prefecture.
It can be said that the Cen family in various places in western Guangxi today are basically descendants of branches from these four prefectures."
"Oh, it turns out that your Cen family was already divided into four by that time."
Gao Pragmatic's expression changed, and he thought to himself: No wonder the Cen family is not as united as the Huang family. I originally thought it was because of the family's large business, but now I see that there is something else going on. It turned out to be because the family was separated earlier...
This is not easy to handle. Although they both have the surname Cen, the so-called clan affection between them has probably faded away. I want to unite them. There is no chance of relying on blood ties, so I might as well stick to the old method.
, it is more straightforward to use coercion plus inducement.
Cen Ling talked about the genealogy and introduced the mountains and rivers of Sicheng Prefecture to Gao Jingshi. Gao Jingshi also listened very carefully.
After a while, Cen Ling finished speaking and suddenly said with a smile: "I am the Sixth Number One Scholar in the Ming Dynasty and the best literary scholar in the world. I am coming to Lingyun City today. Cen Ling is brave. I wonder if I can please leave some literary treasures for me.
Rongsicheng?"
Gao Pragmatic was slightly startled, and thought to himself: Why have leadership inscriptions become so popular these days?
However, Cen Ling was the person he planned to support, so it was hard to lose face, so he smiled slightly: "Since you, Cen Qi Gong, said so, I will send a couplet to Sicheng... But it is not good now.
Pick up the pen, Mo Bao Yunyun, I’ll give it to you when we get into the city.”
Cen Ling was overjoyed, and immediately bowed his hands to Gao Pingshi, the special product of Yun Gui, and said, "Thank you for standing on the stage. I will thank you in advance."
Gao pragmatic raised his head and looked around, pondered a little, and said:
“With four towering mountains and a flowing water, it is often called Sizhong’s beautiful shape;
Liangjiang Shangjun, hundreds of Guangdong lords, have long inherited the grace from heaven."
Cen Ling was overjoyed and thanked him again and again. Then he suddenly thought in his heart: Does the phrase "Long-standing grace from heaven" mean that my family has been grateful for a long time, or does it mean that he hopes that my family will continue to be loyal to the court?
"This "favor from heaven"?
Or does the "favor from heaven" he refers to mean something else?
As for "Hundred Guangdong Guzun, Liangjiang County", Cen Ling felt that Sicheng deserved it.
In the early years, the chief secretary of Guangxi reported to the court about the situation of chieftains in Guangxi, saying: "Of the chieftains in Tianzhou, Sicheng is the strongest, followed by Nandan. Tianzhou is adjacent to the river, with flat terrain, hundreds of miles of fertile fields, and many elite soldiers."
Wan, responded immediately to the call; the local chiefs were rebellious and rebellious, and they were in trouble with the chieftains at times, so they did not have a glimpse of our interior. Sicheng was more than a thousand miles away, and Tianzhou was defeated by soldiers. They were scattered in caves, the stone city was dangerous, and Bajiao Pass was particularly steep and solid.
"
Later, Tianzhou was divided by the imperial court after the Cenmeng Rebellion, and its strength declined a lot. When Guangxi's chief envoy Si Shangshu visited the imperial court, he said: "Sicheng is the most extensive and has the strongest military force. Compared with Qing and Tian,
The states of Zhen'an are strong and prosperous with each other."
It can be seen that today's Sicheng Prefecture can be said to have a vast territory, a large number of people, and strong soldiers. What is this if it is not "a county on two rivers and a hundred Cantonese nobles"?
The only trouble was that there was internal trouble, and Huang Ma secretly put his brother under house arrest, and defended Lingyun City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As a result, although Sicheng was strong, it was only gold and jade, and was defeated in the middle. Otherwise,
How could Siming Mansion take the lead and achieve the greatest success among chieftains when they put down the rebellion in Bazhai last year?
In addition, this girl Huang Zhiting doesn't know what she is thinking now, she seems to have identified the high patrol officer... To say that this high patrol officer is very powerful, and his background is really strong, but no matter what, he is a patrol officer after all.
Only do it for one year!
Huang Zhiting, this girl, makes decisions too easily. If the new Inspector Gao returns to Beijing next year, the political ideas of the new Inspector are completely different from those of the Inspector Gao, I would like to see what you do.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that a group of soldiers and horses seemed to have come down from the mountain in front of him. It looked like there were at least several hundred people. Cen Ling's eyes narrowed and he took a closer look at the flags carried by the soldiers and horses, then turned to Gao Qingshi.
Said: "On the platform, Lingyun City sent people down to greet the grand leader on the platform. The lower official saw the flag of the Luohuhuang family - oh, the Luohuhuang family is the Huangma family."
Gao pragmatic nodded and asked: "Is Huang Ma himself here?"
"We don't know yet." Cen Ling squinted his eyes and looked ahead, saying, "About 800 people are here. If Huang Ma is here too..."
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Even if he comes, I won't touch him now. Don't worry, just watch."
