In terms of the governance of a county, Xiangtan County is quite prosperous, the Xiangjiang River goes around the city, goes north through Changsha into Dongting Lake, the Yangtze River, here is also an important node of the so-called 10,000 miles of transportation from Lingnan Chu to the capital in the former Tang Dynasty, the key point for merchants to enter Chu, and an important distribution center for tea trade and Hunan rice.

"Traveling all over the night of Jiuqu lights, returning to the moon before hanging begonias", this Xiangtan puppet title of the poet of the former dynasty, can vaguely see the prosperous night scene of Xiangtan.

Xiangtan County Ling Deng Minshen was an elegant scribe, and he was very frightened to take Lu Ning, the general academy of literature, into the city, but he didn't know what was going on in Daozhou.

The next day, Wu Pingjun Jiedu envoy Zhou Baoquan from Changsha Mansion to Xiangtan County to see the General Academy, he was just eight years old, should have been innocent, but to see Lu Ning, but trembling, several times scared to cry, Zhao Qing, the secretary of the hand who followed him, is also a strong plea, saying that the little boy knows nothing about Daozhou, let alone Daozhou.

Lu Ningjian beheaded Zhang Wenbiao in Langzhou, scared to death in Changsha After Zhou Xingfeng, now Chu has no leader, and the ten brothers of Zhou Xingfeng are still there, but his prestige is not enough to rule Chu.

On the one hand, Lu Ning asked Deng Minshen to find a painter and copy Li Da's portrait to post everywhere in the west, and he himself, accompanied by Zhou Baoquan and others, took Li Jingyi's pro-army into Changsha City.

Originally, he wanted to send the secret decree to the secret prison stronghold in Changsha Prefecture, but soon news came from Hengzhou.

Wang Hanshi did not die in the chaos of the army, fled to the border of Hengzhou, but the arrow wound fainted, was taken in by the villagers, should be his life, after the high fever actually survived, after the fever sobered, the villagers sent him into Hengzhou Mansion.

After seeing Wang Hanshi, Yang Shifan, the assassin of Hengzhou, had already driven his troops to Daozhou to quell the rebellion.

However, it was the local barbarians in Daozhou who caused the rebellion in Daozhou.

In the southwest of Chu and Lingnan, there were many barbarians living there, and after the implementation of the law of the former Tang Dynasty strictly prohibiting the forced good households to be lowly households, "Nankou" became an important source of slaves.

The so-called Nankou is "Shengkou from the south", that is, barbarian slaves from Chu, Lingnan, Fujian, Yue and other places, who were either arrested as official slaves in rebellion or conquest and plundered slaves among themselves and sold to the Tang people.

To this day, the barbarian tribes of Chu and Lingnan are still the same as before.

When the news of the Northern Dynasties in Daozhou reached Lingnan, these tribes immediately moved, some of the tribal leaders selected the strong from their own tribes, and some even waged wars against the neighboring weak tribes, plundering slaves, leaving the women behind, and the men were sent to Daozhou.

After all, there has been no such large-scale trade for a long time, and the Tang people used to buy barbarian slaves and maids, and the maids were more valuable, and now the male slaves are twenty times, but the price is high, and almost all the Lingnan barbarians are crazy about it.

Moreover, most of the barbarians in Guizhou invaded the Daozhou barbarians, so that dozens of small barbarians in Daozhou jointly resisted, and after repelling the Guizhou Dongman, they simply invaded Daozhou, and wanted to kill the envoys of the Northern Dynasty who came to Daozhou to buy "raw mouths", and the Daozhou defenders also mutinied.

Wang Hanshi escaped under the desperate protection of his entourage and a group of barbarian slaves.

Seeing the reason for the mutiny in Daozhou, Lu Ning was stunned for a while, and the recruitment of soldiers became a "buying mouth", although there seems to be no problem with the barbarians understanding it so well, but among them, it is impossible to say that no one is contributing to the trouble, and it is impossible to cause such a big storm.

Wang Hanshi, still a little anxious for quick success, seeing that there are many barbarians sent every day, he can choose the essence from the essence, so he is wrong, and he did not curb the spread of this rumor at all, but really accepted those slaves who were driven like pigs and sheep, so that the news that the Northern Dynasty was "buying raw mouths" in Daozhou was confirmed.

However, not to mention, those bought barbarian slaves, Daozhou soldiers and barbarians mutinied, when Wang Hanshi was embattled, he was with Wang Hanshi and personally accompanied Wang Hanshi, escorting Wang Hanshi out of the encirclement, although it was because the city of Daozhou was broken, they were afraid that they would also be killed, but these barbarians who were looted and sold to Daozhou, because they were in the state of tribal life before, and many tribes were in the primitive slavery structure, so they did not have much idea of pursuing freedom in their bones, but became someone's slave, so they habitually served their masters.

In the military report sent by Yang Shifan to Changsha Mansion, it was said that more than 100 barbarian slaves who had escaped on the four sides had been collected and sent to the Hengzhou Wang's Fu's office, but the 20 relatives of the Wang's Fufu should have all died in battle.

After all, in the chaotic army, these brightly armored entourages are very eye-catching, and each retinue has killed an unknown number of rebellious troops, so they are naturally the targets of siege.

The twenty Qi troops in full armor fought with the Daozhou soldiers and the barbarian soldiers, although they had an overwhelming advantage, but there were too many chaotic troops, they only grabbed a few horses in a hurry and fled to Wang Hanshi, and they could only fight with these chaotic troops on foot, and naturally they all died of exhaustion in the end.

Looking at Yang Shifan's military report, Lu Ning was silent for a long time.

Subsequently, the two edicts sent to Gangneung Mansion were revised and another edict was added.

Jiangling Mansion and Nanjing Palace all have a standing Zhongshu scholar, and when the Son of Heaven arrives, they will preach it.

Of the three edicts sent to Jiangling Prefecture, the first two were about the adjustment of administrative divisions and the Hubei Daying and Shenwu Army.

A new edict was given to Yang Shifan, ordering Yang Shifan to retrieve the corpses of the twenty "loyal soldiers" and the armor of these loyal soldiers, and accompany them to be buried.

Those who have armor are beheaded, their relatives and relatives are locked up, men are put to death, and women are made slaves.

I also know that after the twenty soldiers died in battle, their armor must have been stripped off, and these people who could take off their armor were the most burly among the murderers who killed them, but these armors may not fall into the hands of the armor pickers in the end, but will be dedicated to their officials, chiefs, and so on.

From a certain point of view, there is nothing wrong with the barbarians in Daozhou.

Twenty Qi soldiers are not wrong.

It can only be said that this troubled era is sometimes so cruel.

Although Lu Ning felt pity for those barbarians and their families in his heart, he was in his own position, and some choices were not up to him.

……

In August of the third year of Fengtian, Emperor Qi issued an edict.

Hunan Province, the capital of Changsha, Xu Wendi moved to Hunan Province Governor of Civil Affairs, leading Changsha Mansion Yin.

The capital of Hubei Province was moved to Jiangling Province, and Hubei Province was reduced to Dengzhou.

Hubei Daying moved to Jiangling Mansion.

The Hunan battalion was formed, the town was Changsha, and Tian Shaobin, the commander of the Shenwu Army, moved to the Hunan battalion to recruit envoys.

Murong Yanzhao moved to the commander of the Shenwu Army and the town of Wuhan Mansion.

Dengzhou formed a powerful army, and King Qian's big eyes led the army.

In terms of such a military system, the Shenwu Army did not move, after all, it was a military force on the south bank of the Yangtze River to clamp down on the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The Hubei Daying, Li Chongjin's surrender and Nanpingguo's surrender were disrupted and turned into the Shenwei Army of the Hubei Daying, the Hunan Daying and Dengzhou.

Of course, the Hubei battalion is the largest, with nearly 30,000 soldiers, and the Shenwei Army and the Hunan battalion are now only 5,000 people.

Needless to say, the Shenwei Army has no defense pressure in Dengzhou, but after all, there are several states around, and Xiangzhou in the north.

In the Hunan battalion, the 5,000 soldiers transferred are only the foundation, so it is natural to reorganize the old department of Ma Chu and recruit the soldiers of Chu to expand.
