Chapter 248: Bowei Southwest (I)
In June of the fifth year of Fengtian, Yuanzhou, Jizhou, Qianzhou and other prefectures in the western part of the Yangtze River surrendered.
These state capitals are separated by Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, Fuzhou, and Tingzhou, which have set up embassies in Qi, and are adjacent to Xiangchu of Qi, and are more controlled by Wuhan Prefecture, coupled with all kinds of new policies in Qi, but the taxes in Jiangnan are getting higher and higher, and the people's hearts have long thought about change, and the fall of the Southern Han Dynasty is just the last straw.
In July, the five prefectures of Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, Fuzhou, Tingzhou, and Jianzhou surrendered.
In particular, Hongzhou, that is, Nanchang in later generations, set up the Zhennan Army, which is the only forbidden army corps outside Jinling, the national capital of Li Jingsui today.
At the end of July, Li Hongyi, the king of Zhenjiang, asked to surrender.
At the same time, Li Chongjin, Meng Chang, and Liu Gang sent letters to Li Jingsui, the lord of Jiangnan, and Qian Hongyu, the lord of Wuyue, to persuade him to surrender.
Jiangnan and Wu Yue Junchen also understood that after the fall of the Southern Han Dynasty, next, the Qi people would inevitably go south to gain the land south of the Yangtze River.
Lu Ning was also ready and quietly waited for Li Jingsui and Qian Hongyu to surrender.
Li Jingsui has no strength to fight at all, and what Qian Hongli is facing is even worse than the situation he faced in history, Qian Hongyu is a very good and smart person, in history, he has taken the initiative to surrender, let alone now.
Lu Ning has even begun to think about the Northern Expedition next year or the year after.
But at this moment, there was a thunderbolt in southern Xinjiang.
The barbarians of Lingnan Xidao rebelled under the leadership of the Guangyuan barbarian chieftain Nong Younong Minfu and captured Yongzhou.
It is said that this Nong You has even received the support of a certain envoy in the land of Annan, and the Annan barbarians also took the opportunity to enter the southern Xinjiang of Qi to plunder.
In the land of Annan today, Wu Changwen, who nominally claims to be the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty, is ruled by Wu Changwen, but in fact, there are more than a dozen envoys, similar to warlords, because these envoys are relatively large barbarian chieftains.
Yongzhou, the later Nanning, after the loss of the Annan Protectorate in China, is the most important barrier in southern Xinjiang, where the military town of Jiedu in Lingnan West Road is located.
Yongzhou was captured by the barbarians, the world shook, and even from a certain point of view, it can be said that the myth of the invincibility of the Qi army in the world was broken, although, in the newly formed Lingnan battalion in Yongzhou, the new group did not say, its 10,000 soldiers, the main force was also the Southern Han army.
But in any case, the Qi State of the New Dynasty, which is in full swing, is conquering the four sides with an enterprising momentum, and the setbacks encountered in southern Xinjiang seem to have cast a shadow on its enterprising momentum.
The people of the southwest are barbaric, and the Qi people also have nothing to do.
According to rumors, Li Jingsui was already preparing to surrender, but after the news of the fall of Yongzhou came, he tore up the surrender letter and the table.
Then, just over 20 days after the fall of Yongzhou, the banner of Qi Tianzi appeared under the city of Yongzhou.
……
The big account of the Chinese army.
Lu Ning sat upright.
Standing on both sides, Mi Zhu, the commander of the Red Tiger Army, Feng Jing, the commander of the Shenwei Army, and Pan Chongche, the deputy envoy of the Lingnan battalion.
The Shenwei army was stationed in Guangzhou, and Yongzhou was in turmoil, so it immediately rushed to help.
The Red Tigers, most of whom were on vacation in their hometowns in Daozhou, were now being urgently mobilized.
Guo Jin, the former Lingnan battalion, has been removed from his post and sent to the Privy Council to retain.
Pan Chongche did not lose the first general in Lingnan in the past years, Yongzhou fell, thanks to his quick opportunity, fortified in Luanzhou, repelled the eastward invasion of the barbarians, and when the Shenwei army arrived, it stabilized the position, so that the barbarians not only did not expand to the entire Lingnan West Road, but only stopped at the southwesternmost corner.
Lu Ning looked at the map on the table, and he was also pondering in his heart.
Historically, eighty or ninety years later, the people of Yongzhou rebelled under the leadership of Nong Zhigao, but the momentum was much greater than now, as if the current chief Nong You was the ancestor of Nong Zhigao.
And now the local people are in turmoil, to be more precise, it is a lot of people in the village who are in turmoil, mainly because of a piece of news that the Qi people will dominate the mountains and forests and the fields.
Now the new policy in Wuling Land has been used by people with good intentions to spread distorted in Lingnan West Road.
According to the news disseminated, under the new policy, not only the leaders suffered, but the ordinary people did not benefit much, but had to pay more taxes because they were included in the household statistics of the Central Plains regime.
The leaders took the lead in the rebellion, and the natives themselves followed.
Originally, I didn't want to implement the new policy in Lingnan West Road.
After all, the rule of the Central Plains here has always been extremely weak, and the local population is far more than the Hakka immigrants, and even the Hakka immigrants in the early years have been integrated into the local people.
I just got the land of Lingnan West Road, everything is still stable, I wanted to change slightly according to the former Tang Dynasty fetters system, and when everything is stable, I will slowly seek change.
But he didn't want to, he wanted to seek stability, but the leaders of the natives couldn't wait and gathered a crowd to rebel.
"Siege tomorrow morning." Lu Ning raised his head.
Mi Zhu, Feng Jing, and Pan Chongche bowed in unison, "Yes!" ”
Lu Ning glanced at Pan Chongche and said, "Chongche, when the chaos is pacified, you will reorganize the army and defend Yongzhou for me." ”
Pan Chongche was stunned, this was the first time he had seen Qi Tianzi, and until now, he was still extremely shocked, not knowing how this Qi Tianzi could arrive on the battlefield more than 20 days after the fall of Yongzhou.
If you want to say that you want to expedite the military report, you can change people and horses all the way, and you can barely walk back and forth from Yongzhou to Bianjing in more than 20 days, but it is obvious that you have received a military report, and in about ten days, the Son of Heaven has gone from Bianjing to Yongzhou, and he is simply a god.
Now listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, he naturally said that after pacifying Yongzhou, he was appointed as the envoy of the Lingnan battalion to guard southern Xinjiang.
He is a general, once very beautiful, the Han State seized the states of Machudi, and even Guizhou, it was he who led the army as the commander, but he was withdrawn after the Han State ascended the throne, and he has been depressed.
Descending Qi is also the trend of the times, but I want to be able to return to my hometown to spend my old age in peace, but I don't want to, I was entrusted with the important task by Qi Tianzi and served as the deputy envoy of the Lingnan battalion, after all, he is an old minister of the Han State, and he also has prestige in the army.
But he didn't want to, now Qi Tianzi actually wants to use him to lead troops to guard the southwest border, which is completely different from what kind of deputy envoy he is.
With the commander of the old country, he commanded the soldiers of the old country, guarded the important town in the southwest, and it was a place beyond the reach of the Central Plains.
The amount of the Holy Son of Heaven is comparable to that of the ancient sages.
Of course, from the first sight of the Holy Son of Heaven, Pan Chongche faintly felt that this overlord of the world had incomparable ambitions, and he believed in using himself, but he really saw the wrong person, and he led the army to rebel, and he didn't care at all.
I don't know how the barbarian chieftains in Yongzhou City feel at this time.
Pan Chongche smiled bitterly in his heart.
After all, such as the land of Annan, it is extremely difficult to say that it is the conquest of the Son of Heaven, after all, the poor mountains and bad waters, the soldiers are difficult to walk, mosquitoes bite, and there are many diseases.
But you are a barbarian raider and occupy the state city? Or Yongzhou City? With the momentum of the Holy Son of Heaven, the benefits of the armor of the Qi army, and the courage of good fighting, haven't they all been stewed with a spoonful?
