Chapter 231: General White Tiger
In the wilderness of Zhaozhou, the Han army that was lured out of the city to exterminate the barbarian rebellion collapsed almost instantly under the fierce attack of the Quanzhang camp.
Zhang Kegong, the deputy envoy of Zhaozhou's regimental training, killed the regimental training envoy and surrendered the city.
Speaking of which, in this land of five mountains, it is difficult to deploy a large-scale army at all, and the elite of hundreds of people, mobile and flexible, often have miraculous results.
Zhang Kegong wrote a letter to the center of the Han Kingdom, still saying that there were many thieves in the old land of Machu in Lingnan, and there were many barbarians who took the opportunity to loot the border people, and asked the puppet Han army to withdraw from the land of Macu.
This is not a national letter, but it was written in the identity of the General Academy of Literature.
Of course, Rao is like this, and he has already sent a secret letter to Feng Yanlu in Guangzhou, asking Feng Yanlu to leave Guangzhou.
Although Feng Yanlu bribed many eunuchs, namely Lu Qiongxian and Fan Huzi, and also became guests of the Guangzhou Upper Embassy, since he felt that it was time to pacify the Southern Han Dynasty, his mission to rip off the skin was also over, of course, the eunuchs and female officials who were bribed further harmed the people of insight in the Southern Han Dynasty.
Speaking of which, Lu Ning doesn't think that these people are people of insight, who are loyal to Liu Gang and want to keep the iron bucket of this country of eunuchs? In Lu Ning's opinion, even foolishness is not counted, ignorance is almost the same.
Jiang Bin, the original battalion commander of the Quanzhang battalion, followed Lu Ning to pacify the ghosts, and finally Lu Ning informed him of his identity and left him as the first commander of the Zunyi Army.
And the original deputy envoy of the Quanzhang battalion, Zhang Xing, promoted the battalion commander, he was the grandson of the old man Zhang Dingnan who joined the army in Zhangzhou when Lu Ning was in Quanzhang.
Although Zhang Xing didn't know Lu Ning's identity, as an old subordinate of the General Academy, he followed the General Academy of Literature into the ghost barbarian land to pacify the ghosts, and he had to command Mi Zhu's orders, so he naturally obeyed the orders of the General Academy.
conquered Zhaozhou, ordered the Quanzhang camp to be garrisoned, and then Lu Ning returned to Gongcheng County, and it was time to ally with the heads of Zhuzhai.
……
The entire Gongcheng County is full of lights, and last month's Lantern Festival was not as lively as it is now.
The county seat is not big, suddenly hundreds of people came, many people in the head of the village are even more difficult to enter the city, see the novelty of the things to see, see the things you want to buy, but also buy some, but make Gongcheng County not many shops, make a lot of money.
Of course, there are also fierce natives who get drunk and make trouble, which also makes this grand event seem less harmonious.
Nearly 100 leaders arrived in Gongcheng, and with the entourage of each leader, hundreds of people lived in Gongcheng County.
The head people who didn't come, but there were a few people of more than 1,000 people in Dazhai, although General Baihu promised a safety guarantee, but after all, some of the leaders still had concerns.
Of course, if the news that Gongcheng County and Zhaozhou City were conquered by the Qi army now spread, these leaders would surely regret not coming to participate in this grand event.
It was rare for the Central Plains Dynasty to treat them as the leaders of the people under its rule, rather than the fangs and barbarians, and so on, and allowed them to enter the cities of prefectures and counties en masse.
Originally, Lu Ning planned to be in Baishazhai for this conference, where there was a large open space where wooden houses could be temporarily built as a place for the local leaders to stay, but since Gongcheng County had been conquered, the local leaders were simply allowed to enter the city, and there was no need to use a large number of soldiers to build temporary shelters for them.
Although the capacity of the post inn in Gongcheng County is not large, some private houses were temporarily requisitioned for the local leaders to live in.
On the first day of meeting with the heads, General White Tiger led the four tigers, which made the leaders of the natives, who only listened to his name but did not believe it, immediately turned their suspicions into fear.
General Baihu was also very ruthless, and after seeing everyone, the first order was that the local people who were arrested yesterday to make trouble should be punished according to the law, and among them, there were several people who were responsible for the crime, and two of them were arrested and imprisoned, and at the same time, they were also disqualified from participating in this conference.
Even the General Court of Literature even said that the two leaders of the felony were deprived of their qualifications as leaders, and they would choose another meritocracy.
Then, Wen Zongyuan leaned back, and beside him, a female official in snow-white clothes and pants was extremely gorgeous, and read out the edict to one hundred and twenty-five earthen villages with a diameter of nearly 100 miles, including the east of Guizhou and the north of Gongcheng.
More than 20 people did not come, but the edict included them.
These earthen villages, six more than 1,000 people and nearly 1,000 people, still retain the name of the village, its head was appointed as the Zhizhai, for the nine official positions, the rest of the less than 1,000 people of the village, are all named "village", set up the village, and the Central Plains in general, the village is held by the village of highly respected people, appointed by the county government, not counted as officials, barely regarded as a clerk without a fortune.
After listening to this gorgeous female official's preaching, the heads of the villages looked at each other.
Among them, some neighboring villages, there are many people who have grudges, and the two leaders who were locked up and imprisoned fought after meeting without saying a word, and the entourage on both sides was killed, so the two leaders were imprisoned together.
Now, even the enemies are staring at each other.
If you want to say that you know the village or something, in the Tuzhai in Daozhou and the barbarian villages in the north of Hezhou, the Qi people have implemented it, and most of them have heard of it.
And now it is obvious that it has gone further, and for small tribes, the Qi people are ready to govern directly with the Qi system.
It is a big village, and the edict read by the gorgeous female official is also blunt, and the "ransom of the land and return to the public order" will be implemented, that is, each head of the person can not have more than 1,000 acres of land, and the mountain fields and woodlands are all owned by the public, but they can suspend the payment to show the grace of heaven.
Many earthen villages, almost all of the land is owned by the head people, and after hearing this edict, some of the rebellious people have long shown their resentment.
But many of the attendants who were also ordered to observe the hearing, but many of them rolled their eyes, apparently having a side mind.
"If you want to live in peace and stability for a long time, if you want your children and grandchildren to keep their wealth and prosperity, then follow this edict, for the time being, you seem to have suffered losses, but in the long run, the people under the rule of Qi, including your children and grandchildren, can enjoy peace in the future. Whether you hear or not, it's all up to you. Wenzongyuan, who had been tasting tea, finally put down the teacup and said lightly.
"If you want to make trouble, you all add it together, and you can level it with a snap of your fingers!" A swarthy general beside Wen Zongyuan added viciously.
I heard that this guy is the general of Qi Tianzi's slave department, and he was originally born in Longruman, and he is extremely tough.
It is the head of the extremely hot temper, and he can't make a sound at this time, he is as strong as a burning fire, and there are more than 20,000 people in large and small villages together, and they have not been leveled by this white tiger general? What do they get?
However, I have heard that the life of the local people of Huohuo Village is much better than before, and the taxes to be paid are much less than those provided to the head people before.
This also makes General Baihu very prestigious among many local villagers.
Some wise leaders have long been thinking about what will happen if they are slaves in the village and unite to rebel, and they want to live like burning the village?
In particular, these slaves are likely to be supported by the Qi people.
"Then you will all rest here, and you may send your followers back to the village and preach the one hundred and twenty-five village orders to the natives."
General Baihu's words made the leaders even more stunned, originally here, most of them thought that the Qi people wanted to serve in the villages, recruit warriors to help the Qi people go south, and there are tea forests and tea mountains, and since then they have paid tea to the Qi people, and most of them are still thinking about how to bargain.
I never thought that this White Tiger General was completely different from them.
And now, it is even more necessary to put them under house arrest here, and preach the new policy to those low-status natives.
Although most of the local people are ignorant, there are smart people in any village, and they can naturally understand how the new policy of the village is good for the people at the bottom.
"The Son of Heaven's decree, the general's order, we will naturally obey it!" The one who spoke was Zou Zou, but it was Aruhe, the head of Baisha Village. The tea farmers in Baishazhai are actually no different from the people of the Central Plains.
Aluhe was secretly grateful to the White Tiger General, when the White Tiger General had just come to Baishazhai, he secretly sent a letter to Gongcheng County, and then attracted the Han cavalry to besiege the White Tiger General.
When General Baihu captured Gongcheng County, he hurriedly took the blame, but General Baihu obviously didn't take it seriously at all, saying that your situation should have been done like this, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
Moreover, it can be seen that General White Tiger is not very popular, he just doesn't take it seriously at all, which makes Aruhe even more admired.
Now, he was the first to pledge his allegiance.
Baisha Department, there are more than a dozen large and small villages within a radius of Baisha Mountain, with a population of more than 3,000, and it is the largest earthen tribe in today's alliance.
Seeing this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the rest of the leaders could only echo one after another.
