Chapter 251: The Border
The majestic waterfall, the dense forest is lush, the strange rocks are craggy, and the water is reflected in the blue color, and the scenery is picturesque.
Downstream of the waterfall, in the mountains and mountains, the Heishui River meanders, the wide river reaches a narrow place, there are several small rafts, the natives are fishing, some are caught in the net, and some use wooden forks to directly stab the fish.
Lu Ning led the big and small beauties and the accompanying escort soldiers, and they also crossed the river from here, a few rafts, under the vertical jump, you can cross the river, of course, the big and small beauties, naturally Lu Ning helped over.
This waterfall is one of the largest cross-border waterfalls in later generations, and this long river named "Heishui River" by Lu Ning is also the boundary river between China and Vietnam in this area.
Nowadays, there is no clear territorial division, and it is often demarcated by rivers and mountains, etc., which is the Heishui River, which is generally the dividing line between Yongzhou and Annan here.
It's just that Hexi Guangyuan Man, under the rule of Yongzhou in the former Tang Dynasty, was set up as Guangyuan Detention Prefecture.
However, in the Southern Han Dynasty, Guangyuan Prefecture gradually broke away from its rule.
Guangyuan barbarian is the main force of the rebellion to capture Yongzhou, the loss is also the most heavy, the leader Nong You was beheaded, the barbarians who made a rebellion have more than 1,000 people killed under the stubborn fight, the remaining nearly 2,000 barbarians were captured, together with relatives, were sent to the northwest to reclaim the wilderness, of course, the northwest mentioned here, is not the Central Plains Qindi, but the junction of Lingnan and Guizhou, a deserted land, but not far away.
After the news of Nongyou's ambush spread to Guangyuan, civil strife broke out in Guangyuanman, and Nong's mother-in-law became the new leader, and tied up Nongyou's mother, wife, concubine, young son, uncle and nephew and other relatives of the three tribes, and sent them to Yongzhou to ask for guilt.
Because the boundary between Guangyuanman and Yongzhou is separated by mountains and rivers, in the territory of Vietnam in later generations, Lu Ning did not adopt a new policy such as the Lingnan Ministry to govern it for the time being, after all, it was necessary to judge the situation and divide and rule.
What's more, after killing many Guangyuan barbarians, they also need their own people to attract new hatred and quell old hatred.
Nong Po Dan was awarded Guangyuan Zhai Zhizhai, which is the official position of the seventh grade, and is hereditary by Nong Po Dan.
Now, Nong Po dared to stand in front of Lu Ning with a smile, he was a swarthy native in his forties, showing two rows of big yellow teeth with a smile, full of black stains chewed out of chewing tobacco leaves, roe deer, small nose and small eyes, and his eyes were gone under the sneer, which looked very treacherous.
Lu Ning was downstream of the waterfall, on the pebble river beach on the bank of the Bishui River, watching Lian'er fish and playing.
On the side, the snow-white dress beauty sitting quietly is Qingcheng.
Just in Wanchengdi to implement the new policy, all kinds of trivial documents and all kinds of accounting are like a mountain, not to mention that there are many other soil departments, the three major internal records are very busy, Lu Ning came to inspect the Guangyuan Zhai area, and by the way, he took Lian'er out to play.
Qingcheng took the initiative to follow and serve, it seems that Tang Yuniang said to Qingcheng in private, there can be no one to serve the adults of the main courtyard, Qingcheng is quiet, in fact, she is a little stubborn, but what Tang Yuniang said, in line with the etiquette she knows, as a second-class woman, the Holy Son of Heaven travels in micro-clothes, and she is a beauty who is on her side, and she is a maid-like role.
Lu Ning didn't pay attention to it so much, if she wasn't worried about going to Annan, she wouldn't take care of any changes, or Mrs. Hua Rui wanted to take it out to relax, but among the women, Madame Hua Rui was the most delicate and expensive, so she should pay attention to it, don't get any diseases, yes, in this southern Xinjiang, it is better to take her out less.
In the woods not far away, there were hundreds of Red Tiger Army soldiers from the cutting-edge fifth battalion led by Cao Bin.
transferred Cao Bin from the Shenwei Army to the Red Tiger Army, and he wanted to take him with him to see if this guy could finally be used for himself.
After all, this guy has good potential, and if he can use it for himself, he will also be a seedling of his own side in the future.
"Then Soft Ba'an still wants your clan to pay taxes according to the original number of Dingkou?" Lu Ning asked suddenly.
Nong Po Dan has been standing aside with a smile, he has a little understanding of the Central Plains script, and as a result, it has become the biggest advantage in this civil strife of the Nong clan, so as to persuade the strong in the clan in one fell swoop, respect him as the leader, and purge all the clansmen who were originally close to Nong You.
Just briefly talked about the current difficulties of the Guangyuan Department, and the General Academy of Literature did not squeak, so he didn't dare to say more, and stood aside with a smile.
Now, the real people of the Central Plains, the Qi people who have replaced the Tang Dynasty, are completely different from the officials of the Han State who came to make a fortune by indiscriminately.
But the arrogant soldiers of the Qi State, the momentum of Nong You's united tribes, was flattened in one day.
This Wenzong Yuan is also obviously a very noble figure in the Central Plains.
Let's talk about the clothes of the beauties around him, I heard that it is the paradise-like prosperous world of the Central Plains, bleaching and dyeing clothes, and it can not be bleached into snow-white, snow-white color, so you can only use snow-white silk, cotton thread and other natural colors, so, this color is also the most rare, has always been the most noble class in the Central Plains can afford to use the color, and the big and small beauties around the General Academy, the snow-white dress is too gorgeous and beautiful.
However, of course, Nong Po dared not look more, so when she came, she glanced at the surrounding situation, and she didn't dare to look at the big and small beauties again.
At this time, listening to the question of the General Academy, he hurriedly sighed and said, "Yes, the envoy sent by Soft Ba'an said so. He sighed again, "Yuan Gong, I still hope that the Gong will be the master of the small department!" ”
He said in a panic: "That Ruan Linggong ...... No, the messenger of the soft baan also said that if the amount of tribute was not enough at the beginning of September, he would come to conquer the small tribe, and count the time, and it would be only a few days. ”
Lu Ning bowed slightly.
Soft Ba'an, one of the twelve envoys of Annan, is also the northernmost envoy of Annam, his name is pronounced "Soft Ba'an", and the name of the Central Plains given to himself is "Ruan Shoujie", and he is also a vassal of the Central Plains, and he calls himself "Ruan Linggong".
The Guangyuan Department has always wanted to pay tribute to him.
In fact, eighty or ninety years later, Guangyuan was in turmoil, also because Guangyuan was bullied and oppressed by Annan too much, and he couldn't get the support of the Northern Song Dynasty, so he simply made a rebellion, causing a bloody change, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were slaughtered in Yongzhou and surrounding states.
This time the Guangyuan rebellion also had the Annan factor in it, and Nong You was also forced and instructed by Ruan Shoujie, so he invaded and plundered in the north.
"Okay." Lu Ning looked at the sky, "I'll go to your village to stay for one night tonight." ”
Nong Po was immediately overjoyed, "Yes, yes, the small village is shining!" ”
Lu Ningwaner, he understands this idiom, and it's really not simple.
Nong Po shouted boldly, and immediately the entourage from afar brought two bamboo sedan chairs, which he and his wife rode on, and the lady did not get the opportunity to meet closely, so she waited far away with the entourage.
"Big grandma and little grandma, let's take a ride, the little one is really unprepared!" Nong Po is sincerely afraid.
Lu Ning was stunned, now the Hakka family in Lingnan West has a slang for calling grandmother grandma, and the local people also follow suit, but Nong Po is afraid here, naturally using "grandma" to honor Shangguan's wife and concubine, etc., so as to express infinite respect.
Think about it, some of the honorific titles that evolved into special respect with senior titles in later generations really came from barbarians.
However, Huaxia is originally tolerant of all families, and these honorific titles, accustomed to it, are also very interesting.
"Lord, the concubine should walk." After Qingcheng saw the simple bamboo sedan chair, he said quietly.
Lu Ning understood what she meant, this simple bamboo sedan chair, said to be a sedan chair, is actually a bamboo chair, two long bamboo poles are erected, Qingcheng feels that sitting on it, not only the embroidered shoes in front are all exposed, but also if the porter turns back, he is more likely to see the underpants in her skirt, and the porter in the back can directly see the curve of her waist and other places where she is sitting on the bamboo chair.
"No, you and Lian'er sit alone, and I'll walk or share with Lian'er." Lu Ning shouted as he spoke, and soon Cao Bin ran over and brought two pieces of "ambush armor". In small group operations, the Red Tiger Army's "ambush armor" and a few days' rations must also be carried, and the "ambush armor" can be turned into a burden and carried on the back, which contains ration sundries.
Lu Ning tied two pieces of camouflage cloth to the bamboo sedan chair one after the other, and smiled at Qingcheng: "That's fine." ”
As for Lian'er, she is young, so she doesn't need to be so particular.
Qingcheng was stunned and gently bowed his head.
