Chapter 158: If you are outside, you must first settle inside

This second event related to the trend of the world is that millions of Shanyue tribes in Jiangdong are about to riot!

In Zhang Xiu's first impression, Shanyue should be the ancient Yue people living in the mountains, and his appearance should be a bronze-skinned minority Han who is naked and only wears one or two fig leafs or animal skins, and its living customs are completely different from those of the Han people. However, these subjective views were all overturned after Zhang Xiu's personal experience in Jiangdong.

Although the ancient Yue people have a long history, as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were records of their civilization, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they were divided into hundreds of tribes, which were called Baiyue at the time. Although Qin Shi Huang had launched the Ping Baiyue War, but until the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the ancient Yue ethnic group also flourished and never perished, and because of the mountain area where the world lived in the mountainous area, it was named Shanyue, but in the Three Kingdoms period, the term Shanyue has represented more than the ancient Yue ethnic group.

Because of the ethnic integration since the Qin and Han dynasties, the appearance and language communication of the ancient Yue people in the Three Kingdoms period are not much different from the Han people, and the only obvious difference is that they still live in the mountainous areas in the era.

Moreover, because of the feudal society itself, some Han people who had escaped the oppression of taxation and labor fled to Jiangdong, an area with a relatively low degree of development in the Central Plains, and fled into the mountainous areas where the government lacked control, and lived together with the ancient Yue people. On the one hand, this greatly accelerated the process of sinicization of the ancient Yue people, and on the other hand, it also increased the control of the central government and local authorities over the mountainous areas.

Of course, the dynasties had no good impression of the ancient Yue people, and in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rulers began to refer to the Han and ancient Yue people living in the mountainous areas of Jiangdong as Shanyue, and they also began to openly resist and suppress them.

In fact, at this time, the Han people ruled the "Shanyue people" in their mouths, and the proportion of Han people was not less than that of the ancient Yue people! This extremely mysterious and barbaric-sounding people are no different from the Han people in terms of clothing, food, language and culture.

Openly excluded from the "Han Chinese" group by the Han rulers, the "Shanyue" people were happy not to have to bear taxes and tribute, but how could the Han rulers allow the Shanyue people to be so idle? Soon, military repression and economic blockade from the plains followed.

First of all, the raw materials of cloth for making clothes are gone, and this price Shanyue people can bear, it is nothing more than a return to the era of animal skins and leaves in the past, what is this, anyway, sometimes wear linen clothes in the mountains and forests, for fear that the clothes will be rotten by the branches and thorns.

But then, the government outside the mountain set up special checkpoints and official positions, and cut off the salt trade in the mountain!

Shanyue people can't bear this, and salt can't be boiled in the mountains, but salt, as an essential trace element for the human body, must not be ingested for a long time.

As a result, there was an incident of Shanyue people going out of the mountains to loot.

And that's exactly what the Han government wanted to happen. Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, in the early days, relied on the extermination and suppression of the Shanyue tribe to accumulate military achievements and rise step by step. In Sun Ce's generation, the Sun family's tradition of hostility and contempt for the Shanyue people was even greater. The Shanyue people in history have also insisted on resisting the Sun Wu regime, although they have never succeeded, but they have greatly dragged Sun Wu's Northern Expedition to fight the world.

In the process of fighting against the Han rulers, the Shanyue people also made full use of the resource advantages of the mountainous areas, opened mines, trained copper and iron, and actively armed themselves.

In the battle with the officers and soldiers, the Shanyue people relied on the physique given by the growth environment, and their individual combat strength was not weaker than that of the Han people. Historically, a major supplement to the military resources of the Soochow regime, especially the elite soldiers, came from the captives of the Shanyue War.

The famous is the trouble-relieving soldiers under He Qi, whose composition is the Shanyue people, who are extremely good at mountain warfare and field warfare.

At present, the name Shanyue cannot be defined as a nation. It is a general term for the Han rulers to the residents of the hilly and mountainous areas who do not submit to the rule of the government. For example, Zhang Xiu's new capital, Zu Xun, although he is a Han Chinese, has always belonged to the Shanyue Sect Marshal. Even Chen Ce, a Lujiang thief recruited by Zhang Xiu, was reported by the Lujiang Mansion as the leader of Shanyue.

From this calculation, the population of "Yamagoe" is quite large. Therefore, this also became a problem for Sun Wu's henchmen who ruled Jiangdong, and the generals of Eastern Wu recorded in history all fought against the Shanyue tribe. From Cheng Putai Shici to Lu Xun and Lu Meng, all of them contributed to the suppression of the Shanyue War.

The Shanyue people rioted at the beginning for their own survival. However, in the later period, under the leadership of some leaders and commanders, the Shanyue people began to fight for self-reliance.

Zhang Xiu is currently in the transition period of Shanyue people from fighting for survival to fighting for self-reliance.

Some time earlier, Zhang Xiu had used the relationship between Tai Shici and Zu Hao to overthrow Sun's rule in Jiangdong with an alliance with the Shanyue tribe, and promised the Shanyue people a batch of money, grain, salt and oil. Zhang Xiu thought that relying only on these inconsequential favors and the Huairou policy different from the Sun family could temporarily appease Shanyue, so that he would not be able to make trouble and drag back before Zhang Xiu won the decisive victory in the Central Plains, but now it seems that it is still too shallow.

People are ambitious. Ordinary Shanyue people may not have it, but some of the tens of thousands of Shanyue leaders must have it! Under such circumstances, the issue of Yamagoe cannot be delayed, and it must be resolved in a timely and thorough manner. Otherwise, the scene of many riots in the rear of Sun Wu's regime in history and repeatedly making Sun Wu's Northern Expedition unable to go all out will be staged in Zhang Xiu's life.

In order to completely solve the Shanyue issue, peaceful means should naturally be the main one, but the means of force must not be lacking. There are at least hundreds of thousands of Shanyue tribes in Jiangdong, and some mountain people may be more than a million, once it is not handled properly, a large-scale war will be opened, and it will be a war with a greater degree of difficulty and cruelty than the battle of Jiangdong in the south.

Therefore, it is necessary for Zhang Xiu to postpone the plan to chase the Central Plains once again and go to Jiangdong again in person!

Fortunately, the current powerful forces of the family in Jiangdong have been washed in blood, and other small miscellaneous fish are not enough to trouble. Therefore, Zhang Xiu did not have to take extra soldiers and horses to Jiangdong again. Only the county soldiers under the commanders of the four counties of Jiangdong and Ji Ling's 40,000 Huainan troops were enough to deal with it.

In fact, Zhang Xiu didn't want to let the main force of the Xiliang soldiers under his command go to Jiangdong again. In the second month of the southern expedition to Jiangdong, although Zhang Xiu used modern medical knowledge to do a lot of preventive work, many consequences caused by the northern army's disobedience to the hot and hot weather in the south also appeared. The water and soil adaptation was considered light, and the plague disease still broke out and spread among the Xiliang army.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu pacified Jiangdong in only three months, and Ji Ling's 40,000 Huainan was better than that aftermath, so Zhang Xiu led the main force of Xiliang to withdraw from Jiangdong before the epidemic in the army expanded.

However, statistics later showed that the soldiers and soldiers of Zhang Xiu who died in accidents such as epidemics were not much less than those who died in battle.

It's just that if Zhang Xiu goes to Jiangdong in person, then Zhang Xiujun will definitely not be able to provide strong support to Liu Bei.

Although the 40,000 new troops under Gao Shun have been trained, and Chen Gong has also come out of Guo Jia's shadow, these cannot withstand the bonus brought to Cao Jun by a poss-level lord like Cao Cao. And Zhang Xiu is not at ease to transfer his soldiers and horses to Liu Bei's command, plus there is no threat from Yuan Shao for the time being, the prospects of the battle against Cao are not very bright!

But the battle against Cao must be fought. The position of the commander of the Zhang-Liu coalition army will be given to Liu Bei again, and now it is a question of who is the chief general and military division on Zhang Xiujun's side.

"The last general, please die!" The two generals stood up and asked for their lives in unison.

In fact, you don't have to guess to know who these two people are. With qualifications and status, the post of the chief general of the anti-Cao Dynasty was only fought for by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

In fact, before convening the meeting, Zhang Xiu had already thought about who would lead the army in this battle. But at this moment, Zhang Xiu must not show that he has a plan in his heart, but must pretend to be considerate. Leave time for yourself to make a final decision, and importantly, time for others to consider and compare.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu did not decide on the candidate for the main general at the first time, his eyes were also contemplative and thoughtful, and the other Zhang Xiu generals were moved.

Bang bang. There were two more strides out, and two more people stood up and asked for orders: "The last general asks for orders to welcome Cao on behalf of the two generals." ”

One of these two people was acceptable, and that was Gao Shun's deputy general and Li Tong, the general of Ren Diannong.

But the other person's standing up made everyone present puzzled, including Zhang Xiu, who also slandered in his heart at the moment: "Is this guy a joke invited by a monkey?" ”

This person who stood up with Li Tong was the person who was brought back from Jiangdong by Zhang Xiu not long ago - Yuan Yao, who was the captain of the Shouchun Palace.

Zhang Xiu handed the compromises to the imperial court, not only hoped that the imperial court would officially launder the Shouchun Palace built by Yuan Shu into the Yangzhou Palace of the Han royal family, but also hoped that the imperial court would allow the construction of palace walls and other ancillary buildings to be completed. Finally, I hope that Emperor Han Xian will go out to visit Yangzhou and visit the Shouchun Palace! After that, he mentioned the problems of Yuan Yao and Yuan Shu, and asked Cao Sikong to make another decision on this matter.

Cao Cao, mentioned above by Zhang Xiu, finally fully agreed. Including the revocation of Zhang Xiu's letter of shielding Yuan Shu's family, naturally it also once again wrote off the crime of Yuan Yao, Yuan Yin and others from thieves to become emperors. According to the fine tradition of having one and two without repeating and repeating, basically Cao Cao will not mention this matter again.

However, for Zhang Xiu's request to invite the emperor to visit the Xingshouchun Palace, Xun Yu erased this article when he received the report......

You can even inherit the title of Marquis of Pingyang from your uncle Zhang Ji during his lifetime, but you think we are stupid and promise to send the emperor to you, and then you will be replaced by you to give us the title of official and knight.

Now, the dozens of Zhang Xiu's subordinate Wen Wu is looking at Yuan Yao with an idiotic look, this guy is not stupid, others can be said to be commendable in courage, but with your ability, Cao Cao can kill you with his toes with his eyes closed.
