Chastity Layman

Guangzhou.

Qin Lang walked into the meeting hall of Jinglue Mansion, Gao Feng, Gao Jifu, Jia Wuben and others had already arrived.

Eunuch Gao Feng smiled flatteringly at Qin Lang, Gao Jifu nodded politely, Lao Jia smiled, and Niu Jianhu couldn't hide his excitement.

"good news."

Niu Jianhu was a little proud and hurriedly reported, "The tortoise king has exerted his strength, and offered a few bastards."

Qin Lang knew that the tortoise king he was talking about must be Cuan Guiwang, and as for those bastards, they were probably the governors of Dong Cuan.

Sure enough, Niu Jianhu explained the situation in detail next.

There was no movement before King Cuangui, so Cheng Chumo sent troops to garrison Yuxi Bazi, Cuan Hongda hurriedly gave up Yuxi, and then King Cuangui rushed to Wumeng Mountain to contact the various tribes, united the nine tribes of Wuman, and formally fought against Dongcuan.

But the two sides had been confronting each other, and there was no big fight, which made Cheng Chumo very dissatisfied, so he simply sent troops to occupy Jiangchuan Bazi.

He even threatened to send troops to Dianchi Lake to enter Kunzhou to help Cuan Hongda strengthen his defense against the Dong Cuan rebels.

This time, Cuan Hongda couldn't sit still anymore, so he had to lead the troops to go out in person.

The two fathers, one in the south and the other in the north, launched a north-south attack on Dong Cuan.

"The wall fell and everyone pushed, Dong Cuan Cuan Qianfu, Cuan Chongdao Chong Chongsheng's uncle and nephew were attacked from both sides, but the house was leaking and it rained all night. At the call of Zhang Shigui, the governor of Ningzhou, he raised his troops."

"Zangke Department, Kunming Department, Keman Department, Guizhou Department, Timan Department, Manpi Department, Liao Department, Meiyi Department, Baman Department, Shangcha Department, Bo Nuo Department, Xinke Department, Liren Department The eighteen barbarian tribes in Central Guizhou, including the Moyi tribe, the Baihu tribe, and the Dongxie Yuanshen, Nanxieqiang, Xixiezhuang, and Xizhao Zhaochengs who had previously entered Chang'an to meet the emperor and were conferred by the emperor, The momentum is huge, gather to advance westward, and kill Dong Cuan by surprise..."

Since the Han Dynasty, most of the central Guizhou area is still in the clan and tribal society, and the places where Xie Man and East Zhao Man live have not been subject to China since ancient times.

From the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, although the Central Plains has been working hard to develop and develop central Guizhou, but by the time of Tang Wude, its actual influence was only as far as the north bank of the Wujiang River.

The areas further south were basically ruled by Jimi.

However, the central Guizhou region has an important geographical location. It is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. There are many large and small rivers such as the Wujiang River, the Yuanjiang River, and the Qingjiang River, as well as the Beipan River, Nanpan River, and Duliu River that belong to the Pearl River system. These criss-crossing waterways and The land channel connects central Guizhou with Yunnan, Shannan, Jiannan, Lingnan, etc., and can reach various places from the hinterland of central Guizhou.

Ya desolate and secluded, control and lead the feudal vassals.

For Datang, who was determined to manage Yunnan and Lingnan, central Guizhou was an area that must be controlled in terms of geopolitics, physical geography, and traffic roads.

From the beginning of Wude, a large number of surnames and barbarian chieftains in central Guizhou were conferred as governors, and then at the beginning of Zhenguan, Zhengzhou was gradually established in the north of Wujiang River and northeast of Guizhou, and troops were emigrated.

In the past few years, taking advantage of the great victory of Lingnan Pingman, they simply reformed the land and returned to the people in the central Guizhou area. Although the reform of the land and the people in the middle of Guizhou was not as deep as that in Lingnan, a large number of barbarian chiefs were still appointed. The governor of Zhengzhou County was set up for each reform, but at least the reform has begun.

And as the imperial court changed the original Juzhou to Dongning Prefecture, granted the prince Li You the governor of Dongning Prefecture, and made Zhang Shigui the governor of Bozhou, the southern area of ​​Qianzhong Road began to be involved in the torrent of reform. .

The former king did not open up the land, so please dress up.

The hometown of prehistoric records, and for the state county.

After Zhang Shigui, the son of heaven, personally served as a general and escorted Qi Wang Li You to the middle of Guizhou, he also began to learn what Qin Lang did in Lingnan. Guard the border and open up business routes.

For the various ministries in central Guizhou, while wooing and intimidating, they are both kind and powerful.

After forcefully annihilating several disobedient barbarians, the barbarians in central Guizhou were gradually ordered to obey the orders of the governor's office of Dongning Prefecture.

During the Cuan Clan civil war in Yunnan, the Tonghai Governor's Mansion has been pressing Xicuan in the south and sending troops, and Shi Duan Zhixuan, the governor of Xining Prefecture, also supervised the Baiman in the Erhai Lake area to approach the east.

Zhang Shigui has not been idle, he has been calling all the barbarians in central Guizhou to gather troops.

"Cuan Chongdao did not die at the hands of King Cuangui, but at the hands of Zhang Shigui. This Zhang Shigui is also very powerful. No one expected that he could really integrate all the barbarians in central Guizhou and send troops so quickly. And this This time, Xixie, Dongzhao Erbu, who was most dissatisfied with China before, was the pioneer."

Yingzhou in Xieyuanshen in the east is located in Sandu and Taijiang in later generations, while Zhuangzhou in Xieqiang in the south is in the area from Guiyang south to Miaoling.

Mingzhou of Zhaomo in the Western Zhao Dynasty is located in the middle reaches of the Wujiang River, and is located in the Sinan area of ​​later generations. It is also very powerful, with more than 10,000 households. The land is blocked by mountain caves. The itinerary is 23 days from east to west, so it can be seen that its territory is also very large.

The West Xieman has an even older history. Its leader was named Yilang by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, managed the county, and was inherited from generation to generation, becoming the ancestor of the Xie family in Guizhou Province.

From the early Eastern Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, the Xie family was hereditary and guarded from generation to generation. It was the oldest wealthy family. The East Xie and the South Xie were all branches of the West Xie.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Yanzhou was established with its land, and the state is now Anshun, with a very wide territory.

After San Xie and Yi Zhao were surrendered by Zhang Shigui, Xi Xie and Xi Zhao took the initiative to invite them to be the vanguard.

The vanguard of Western Zhao led the troops back up the Wujiang River, then crossed the Dalou Mountains, went straight into the Chishui River, and entered the rear of Wuman in Dongcuan.

Xie Xieyuan led the army westward along the Sancha River, went straight to Luzhou, and rushed to Mazhou (Xuanwei).

Zhang Shigui's ability to lead troops is indeed very strong, and he was in Longyou, then in Jiannan, and then in Qianzhong, he has rich experience in dealing with barbarians, and he is well versed in how to control these barbarians.

Kindness and strength are in harmony.

First Cuan Ganfu died in battle, and then his nephews Cuan Chongdao and Cuan Chongsheng died in battle. Qin Lang can imagine what kind of situation Dong Cuan is in now.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and it is true.

Originally there were thirty-seven tribes of Wuman, Wumeng and other nine tribes were drawn over by King Cuangui, but there were still twenty-eight tribes still following Dongcuan, but now the Tang army is besieging from all sides, Cuan Qianfu, the leader of Dongcuan, died, Several backbone disciples also died in battle, and no one knew that Dong Cuan was over.

Happy news.

Cheng Chumo is in southern Yunnan, Duan Zhixuan is in western Yunnan, and Zhang Shigui is in western Guizhou. Now they are surrounded on three sides.

Xi Cuan Hong Da Cuan Gui Wang and his son were driven to attack Dong Cuan.

"In this world, there is one less arrogant person." Niu Jianhu said with a smile, "It seems that the Nanzhong region won without a fight after all."

"How can it be said that we won without fighting? Isn't this a group of soldiers and horses coming together?" Jia Wuben said, he followed Zhang Xutuo and Shi Wansui to conquer the Cuan clan of Nanzhong before, and it was Cuangui who fought at that time Grandpa Cuanwan knows the barbarians in Nanzhong quite well, and these people don't accept the Central Plains.

When the Sui Dynasty conquered the Nanzhong Cuan clan, they conquered it three times.

But in the end, they only defeated their soldiers and horses, captured and beheaded their leaders, and failed to truly conquer this area.

"Don't be too happy too early. In the Tang Dynasty, I divided the Nanzhong region into Yunnan and Guizhou, and now I'm implementing reforms to return the land to the local people, but the effect has not been obvious. Although the leaders of Dongcuan are dead, But Dong Cuan hasn't really surrendered yet."

"Indeed." Qin Lang nodded in agreement.

"Since we have fought, we have to do it once and for all. If we can't, we should stop. It is better to use the remaining courage to chase the poor."

Qin Lang immediately wrote a letter to the Emperor of Luoyang, proposing some measures to deal with Dong Cuan.

After the memorial was sent out, within half a month, the emperor's reply arrived, which was unexpectedly fast.

"The sage ordered Duke Wei to travel to the south of the Five Ridges, and also to visit Nanzhong."

Li Shimin obviously agreed with Qin Lang's suggestion, so he simply didn't bother the two masters, and directly let Qin Lang take part in the Nanzhong area, let him lead the war against Dong Cuan, and gave him full power to act cheaply. Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Shigui, Cheng Chumo and other generals in the South China Central Committee all obeyed his control. The barbarians in Nanzhong listened to orders. "

After receiving this edict, Qin Lang once again held a meeting in the Economic and Strategy Office.

"The news came from the east of Yunnan that each branch of Dongcuan has asked the imperial court to surrender, and all armies have suspended their operations." Jia Wuben said, "What is Sanlang going to do?"

"Weeds must be eradicated. Don't give Dong Cuan another chance to repeat. They must also pay a heavy price for their rebellion."

"Kill them all?" Niu Jianhu said.

"Killing people is not the way to solve the problem." Qin Lang shook his head. He is not the kind of person who is very bloodthirsty. If this is the case, Li Shimin would not let him come to Jiedu Nanzhong area, and directly let Duan Zhixuan or Zhang Shigui. Wouldn't it be nice if one person was in charge of Nanzhong?

"First of all, we have to let Dong Cuan relocate. They have managed the Dian land for hundreds of years, and their forces are stubborn and intricate. It would be a disaster if they kept it. I plan to move all the more than 200,000 households under Dong Cuan's direct control."

"Where to move? There are so many people here, and only some of them belong to the Dong Cuan family, so there's no need to move all of them?"

"You have to make room for cleanliness."

Qin Lang believed that this was actually a good way to strengthen control over Yunnan. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he moved Dongcuan and the population under his rule to Tonghai, Xining, Dongning, Jiaozhou, Guizhou, Guangzhou, Huzhou and other surrounding areas will enrich the population of these big towns.

Then the Han people moved from the Central Plains to the eastern Yunnan area to fill the vacancy.

Such strenuous tossing must be a waste of money and people, but it must be tossed in this way in order to seize control.

For the Dongcuan people, they will not be merciless. Adult males will be executed directly, and the immature ones will be exiled to the frontier as slaves, and the females will not be sent to Yeting as slaves.

"What if you resist?"

Jia Wu glanced at Gao Feng who was speaking in vain, "Several armies are there, and they dare to resist at this time, but it's just a incidental thing, just destroy it directly."

The old general's murderous words made Gao Feng stop talking.

He recalled his tragic childhood experience. At that time, his family was also a powerful family in Lingnan. Later, because he participated in the rebellion against the imperial court, his family was ruined after the defeat. was castrated and sent to the palace.

Dong Cuan will receive the same treatment as his family did back then.

The Central Plains Dynasty has never been soft on rebels, especially those barbarians on the frontier.

"How about Xi Cuan? This time, they have made great contributions to calming the chaos, so it's not easy to attack them, right?"

Qin Lang smiled.

"If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. For all the direct descendants of Xi Cuan, they will all be granted titles and rewards."

Niu Jianhu immediately understood that this was Mingsheng's dark tone, or did he take the opportunity to transfer away?

"How about the Wuman tribes?"

"Kill those who should be killed, those who should be beaten, and those who are able to admit defeat after killing and beating can be appeased, and the children of their leaders will be sent to Chang'an Luoyang, and then some will be recruited and transferred to Jiaozhou and other places in Guangzhou, and then sent to Liuguan and construction troops. Fortress, garrison troops and horses, strengthen supervision.”

Wuman still needs to be treated differently. They can’t just shovel them all out in the same way as Dong Cuan, but they must also weaken their strength as much as possible. They must agree to change their lands and return them to the brigades, send officials, and soldiers. They have to agree to pay taxes and serve in the military.

And have to send hostages to the court.

If you can do this, you can let them go.

If you can't do it, fight until you are served.

"I think we can consider swapping the Wuman tribes, let them exchange sites or something, and exchange some good sites for the Wumeng and other tribes who participated in the suppression of the chaos this time, and even for some big Wuman tribes , split him up, disperse some of the tribes to other places, and weaken their strength." Jia Wuben made a suggestion.

Qin Lang nodded, thinking that this suggestion was good.

In general, after this war, Dong Cuan, which split from the Cuan clan, finally came to an end after dominating eastern Yunnan for decades.

And those Wuman tribes who look forward to the east, will inevitably lose their strength this time. After being repaired, those who know the knowledge know that the sky in the east of Yunnan will be the sky of the Tang Dynasty, and they will all You have to listen to Datang.

Although I dare not say that all Wuman tribes are obedient, at least most of them will. As for some tribes who are still obsessed with obsession, there is no need to worry.

And taking this opportunity, killing Dong Cuan and shaking Wuman will definitely shake the Baiman in Erhai Lake and all the barbarians in central Guizhou.

"The zoning of the entire Nanzhong area is still a little messy, and many of them are unreasonable. After this battle, we have to readjust first." Qin Lang said, looking at the map of Nanzhong in front of him.

In large blank areas, prefectures and counties need to be added, and some messy prefectures and counties should be merged and withdrawn. The point is that after this time, the imperial court will increase the garrison in Yunnan and central Guizhou to strengthen control.

Jia Wuben, as the oldest person in the room, and the old qualifications of Qin Lang's grandfather, leisurely made another suggestion.

"I suggest that Saburo can go to Dianchi Kunzhou to comfort the ministries and the soldiers who put down the chaos."

"When the time comes, call Xicuan, Xixie, Xizhao, Nanzhao and other barbarian chieftains from the southern and central regions to come to visit and give them a good beat."

"I really don't want to run. It's very painful to travel long distances in this July season." Qin Lang laughed. "I have no choice but to take a trip. Mr. Jia conquered the Nanzhong Cuan clan decades ago, and he still has a great reputation in Yunnan. Why don't you come with me?"

"Thirty years have passed in a flash, it's okay, let's revisit the old place."
