Chastity Layman

Guangzhou.

Mrs. Acha took her son into Guangzhou Port by sea boat. Looking at Guangzhou Port, which is more prosperous and lively than Jiaozhou Port and Taiping Port, this pretty lady with a tattoo on half of her face couldn't help but turn her head.

It is getting farther and farther away from my hometown in Nanzhong, and there is no turning back on this road after all.

It was Ah Huang who sent their mother and son here, and when he entered Yacheng and saw Qin Lang, he said excitedly, "It's fighting, it's fighting again!"

"Are you talking about the Linyi side, or the Tonghai side?" Qin Lang was very calm. Although he was in Guangzhou, the information from all parties in the south of the Five Ridges was also continuously transmitted and collected, and his eyes and ears were still very good.

He Man crossed the Red River and aggressively invaded the Tonghai Governor's Mansion. Alarms were sounded and beacons were lit everywhere. And in the southeast, the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Mansion in the south of the town have officially crossed the border of Linyi, and the troops left Hengshan and marched south.

Further south, Linyi Queen Fan Lin, with the help of Qin Li and other fleets and mercenaries, has also crossed the sea and returned to Linyipu, where she fought a battle with the Kingslayer's intercepting fleet at the mouth of the Qiupen River.

With its high sails, high speed and high speed, the soldiers on board were also elite and powerful, but the Queen's Fuguo Fleet with thousands of people defeated Lin Yi's army, which was more than ten times its own, in Jiangkou.

Although the Linyi army was numerous, it was a water battle. Although there were many ships on the other side, they were patchwork, especially the Linyi Fan's Wang Banner that Fan Lin played, which was quite influential. The banner bestowed by Tang Tianzi made many Lin Yijun shake directly.

The first battle was successful, and the queen led the fleet to go straight up the river and sailed to the vicinity of Linyi Wangcheng.

However, under the suggestion of the mercenary leader, the queen did not underestimate the enemy and forcibly landed to attack the capital. Instead, she first occupied several large islands in the Qiupen River. These islands were leased to Datang as agreed. The first one was taken down.

After the fleet got a place to replenish and garrison troops, the queen sent many people to spread the news that she was canonized as king by the emperor of Tang and returned to Linyi.

She sent people to confer titles and official positions on officials and nobles from all over Linyi, and added officials and promotions to them. The officials promised to let them come to visit and ask them to support her. No matter what these people were like before, she didn't even ask. , let bygones be bygones.

It has to be said that Fan Lin's trick is still very effective. The drum banner bestowed by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty stands on the island in the Qiupen River, and there are warships from the Datang Navy on the river. In fact, most of these ships are just Some merchant ships and private ships, at most, have the status of naval reserve. This time, the navy gave a few flags and sent some soldiers and instructors to support the queen.

But the people of Linyi didn't know this. They only knew that as soon as the queen came back, she killed the kingslayer's army in Jiangkou, and those warships with Tang flags were very powerful.

And soon on the northern border, there was news that the Southern Governor's Mansion of Datang Town had sent troops southward, crossed Hengshan Mountain, and swept across three hundred miles.

Although the kingslayer mobilized his troops and sent people to seek help from Prince Chenla, many people from Linyipu quietly ran to the island to visit him every day, either in person or by sending his confidantes. Anyway, it's all about loyalty.

Some people just ran off to the island and wanted to serve the queen to be loyal to the queen, and some people sent their children and confidants to come and make an appointment to cooperate inside and outside the city.

The merchants in the capital are more active. These merchants are well-informed and have close contacts with Datang. Therefore, when Fan Lin was still in Lingnan, they had already received definite news that the princess had hooked up with Datang. Wei Guogong, the most powerful minister, was canonized by the Tang Dynasty, so he went to meet and speculate early.

At this time, the Queen's garrison island was not in a hurry to attack the capital, but boatloads of food supplies were being sent to the island continuously throughout the day.

The fleet that sent the queen back was originally sent out by the rich and powerful families, so this trip was not only for war, but also for business. The ship was also fully loaded with various goods, so a store was directly opened on the island.

The two parties began to trade in a booming manner on the island, which was quite lively.

On the other hand, in Wangcheng, the gates are closed, the curfew is imposed every night, and the kingslayer is searched and investigated, which makes people panic, but makes people even more dissatisfied with this kingslayer.

The queen accepted the suggestion and intentionally did not rush to launch an attack, but the more this happened, the more fearful the king's capital was, and more and more nobles, powerful merchants and common people from all over the world turned to the queen's side.

Fan Lin wrote to Qin Lang every now and then, saying that the situation was excellent and the restoration of the country was in sight, and she was very grateful to Qin Lang.

The old horse head took the tea offered by Qin Lang and drank it down in one gulp.

"It's on Tonghai's side, that Nong Jinhu has made a comeback, the soldiers split up and killed the Red River, and now Tonghai is in flames of war." The old horse head asked Qin Lang, "That female barbarian is really stubborn, I'm afraid Cheng Dalang won't be able to handle it. Stay, why don't we recruit soldiers and horses to kill them?"

Qin Lang was unmoved at all, "This is something that has been expected for a long time, and Chu Mo can definitely handle it, so don't worry about him."

"Not only the Heman in the south of the Red River, but also the gold-toothed man, silver-toothed man, embroidered face man, embroidered foot man, white-clothed man, green-clothed man, and flower-headed man in the upper reaches have also followed suit this time, as well as Cuan in the north. Shi finally turned against him!"

"oh!"

Qin Lang's reaction was still very calm, "Dong Cuan is reversed, or is it reversed together? I guess it's Dong Cuan reversed?"

"Cuan Ganfu attacked the camps of officials and craftsmen sent by the imperial court to build the Nanning Governor's Mansion and Wuwang City, and detained them all."

"They even blocked Wuchi Road!"

Cuan Ganfu is now the head of Dongcuan, and also the governor of Langzhou who was granted by the imperial court before. This Langzhou was originally called Nanning Prefecture, and it was in Qujing in later generations. During the time of Wude, the Tang Dynasty sent Cuan Hongda back to Yunnan, and the Cuan family in Yunnan saw that the Tang ruled the Central Plains, and they also attached themselves to the Tang.

So Datang changed Nanning Prefecture to Langzhou, and awarded Fen Ganfu the governor of Langzhou, but soon restored the Nanning Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and let Wei Renshou, who was guarding Xichang at that time, inspect the Nanning Prefecture Governor.

But in fact, the whole of Yunnan was still Jimi at that time, that is, it was still governed by the Yunnan people, and the imperial court conferred official positions, but the actual households were not naturalized and taxes were not paid.

Even the Governor's Mansion of Nanning Prefecture was located in Yuejuan (Xichang), and at that time, Yuejuan was actually only a remote territory of Yizhou, with some soldiers and horses stationed, and most of the places were controlled by barbarians. Wei Renshou only set out from Yizhou every year, inspected various places, summoned the barbarians, announced imperial edicts, gave rewards, and then mediated the conflicts among the various ministries.

Until the eighth year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty unified the Central Plains, and its influence in the southwest was also growing. Wei Renshou also reached a consensus with various ministries, and formally built a city in Wei County (Qujing), Nanning Prefecture.

At the same time, the imperial court established Quzhou and Jingzhou in Zhaotong and Daguan in the north.

Qujing at this time actually refers to the Zhaotong area, which is also an important passage for the Tang Dynasty to travel south to Yunnan, also known as the Wuchi Road, also known as the Shimen Road.

In fact, the Wude court still had a lot of ideas about the Southwest back then. It planned the route to Yunnan and worked out the steps one by one. It was probably still the old way of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Step by step infiltration, slowly station troops, emigrate, do business, and even build cities and roads.

It’s just that in the last years of Wude, the northern Turks invaded frequently, which made Datang no longer care about the south for a while, especially in the ninth year of Wude, the change of Xuanwu Gate occurred, and Daxingtai in Yizhou far in the southwest was also affected. Those who supported Li Shimin, and Wei Renshou supported the prince, Dou took the opportunity to eliminate the abolished princeling party. At that time, Xingtai Shangshu Wei Yunqi and Guo Xingfang were executed. Recall, let him go back to quell the Nanyi rebellion, Wei Yunqi was transferred away, and died of illness halfway. If he hadn't died of illness halfway, he would probably have been killed by Dou Gui by taking the opportunity.

Wei Yunqi, Guo Xingfang, Wei Renshou and others were killed by Dou Gui, Yizhou Daxingtai was also in turmoil, and there was no time to pay attention to the south of Yunnan.

In the next few years, when Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, his focus was still in the north. He was busy eliminating rebels, pacifying the government and the opposition, reforming taxes, recuperating, and guarding against the Turks.

Now that Datang is looking at the land of Yunnan again, he is no longer as cautious as he was in Wude years.

Li Shimin directly established several secular mansions and prefectures in Chang'an City, and directly granted his princes, brothers, and meritorious officials to Yunnan as governors and governors.

Simply ignore the local snake Cuan's attitude.

Qin Lang even sent his troops westward, directly occupying Tonghai.

Then the imperial court took advantage of the situation very unceremoniously, and transferred the Yizhou army to the south, abruptly and across the board between Kunming and Erhai Lake, and established the Yaozhou Governor's Mansion in Yao'an.

In the northeast direction, troops were added to Qujing, civilian husbands were recruited, and the Shimen Road began to be wantonly widened.

They also sent craftsmen directly to Weixian County, Nanning Prefecture, intending to expand the stone city built by Wei Renshou next to the old city of Weixian County, and make it the royal residence and government office city of Nanning Prefecture Shifeng Dudu and Wu Wang Li Ke.

They immediately began to measure and start construction. The stone city was built by Wei Renshou back then, and it took only ten years to complete it. However, Wei Renshou died after building the city. The stone city has always been occupied by Cuan Qianfu. This place is the fiefdom of Li Ke, king of Wu. This stone city will be expanded into the mansion of King Wu, and it will be the residence of Nanning's governor's mansion.

Of course Cuan Ganfu quit.

He originally thought that Li Ke was granted the title of Governor of Nanning by the imperial court, just like the Governor of Nanning and Governor of Nanning awarded by the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Who would have imagined that Tang Tianzi really wanted to send his own son.

Isn't this the dove occupying the magpie's nest?

Seeing that the Tang people were so defiant, and Xi Cuan was still so cowardly, King Cuangui gave his wife to the Tang people. Cuan Ganfu was so angry that he couldn't take it anymore, so he accepted Nanbian Heman's persuasion, and finally turned against him.

He sent people to block the five-foot road, attacked Shicheng again, detained Tang officials, and reversed.

"Where are Cuan Hongda, Cuan Gui Wang and his son, they didn't react at all? Has he not done the mission I gave Cuan Gui Wang?"

"It's moving. As soon as Cuan Ganfu rebelled, King Cuangui immediately joined forces with Wumeng, Usa and other nine barbarian tribes in the Qujing area, calling on them to help Tang put down the rebellion. This guy is very sinister and has sneaked into Qujing long ago. In the area, he secretly colludes with the barbarians and only waits for the Cuan Ganfu flag to be raised before he jumps out."

"Cuan Ganfu took Shicheng over there, and King Cuangui led his father-in-law Wumengman and other nine tribes to join forces southward, and his father Cuan Hongda immediately led troops across Dianchi Lake to the east."

Qin Lang laughed and said, "Isn't this very good?"

Ah Huang said without concealing it, "I just can't trust the Turtle King, even if they fight among themselves, we can't just watch, let's take this opportunity and wipe them all out!"

"The fight has just started, you are in a hurry!" Qin Lang chuckled.
