On the clear river, a fleet of boats is tracing the river.

Liu Renliang from the Central Plains looked at this river and couldn't help but sigh, this river is so beautiful. He was born in the Central Plains and saw a lot of rushing and turbid rivers like the Yellow River.

"It's really beautiful."

A thin black man with broken hair and tattoos next to him stood barefoot and said, "What kind of beautiful mountains and rivers, it's just poor water and bad water." ”

"Ah Fa, I think it's good here." Liu Renliang said to the guide.

"When you get to Luo Doutong, you'll know that it's not so good, the people there are notoriously rude."

Liu Renliang was thoughtful, because he killed Feng Xuan, so Li Jing personally asked for credit, and was promoted to Huairen School by the emperor's edict, which is the seventh rank in the military attache rank, and the fifth of the eight schools. The martial rank is eight up to from nine down, for the martial cavalry, tun cavalry, Xiao cavalry, ranger cavalry, flying cavalry, brigade cavalry, cloud cavalry, feather cavalry eight lieutenants.

Above the eight lieutenants are eight schools, from six to seven, for Jianjie, Fenwu, Xuanhui, Suide, Huairen, Shouyi, Fengcheng, and Lixin eight schools.

After getting the Huairen School on Zhengqipin, he was also appointed by Li Jing as the commander of the newly established Huaide Battalion in Huaide County, Yongxi County, Guangdong Province, commanding 500 battalions.

Huaide County is in the south of Yongxi County, located on the border with Gaoliang County in the south, west is the Yunwu Mountain, over the mountain is the north flow of Hepu County.

Huaide, which is at the junction of the three counties, has a complicated situation, especially in the uncivilized mountainous area, and Huaide County has not long been opened, and it is mainly Luo Doutong's slang bureaucrats.

Ah Fa was a guide given to him by Li Jingba, a native of Yongxi Huaide, and later went to Nanhai County to work, and he was a very clever person.

Although he has broken hair and tattoos and is barefoot, no different from the slang people here, Ah Fa is still very determined to show that he is Han.

As the boat rowed along the clear river, Ah Fa told the new boss about the situation, and he had now been transferred to the Huaide camp as a guide, who was a supernumerary.

"Like me, I am actually a Han Chinese, after the first emperor pacified the Six Kingdoms, he sent an army of 500,000 to the south to conquer Baiyue. Baiyue was defeated by the Qin army and was eventually defeated, some surrendered, and some migrated southwest. It was only later that the Han Dynasty was established soon after the rebellion in China, and the Qin army on the Lingnan side was led by Zhao Tuo to establish the Nanyue Kingdom, with Panyu (Guangzhou) as the capital, and it took several generations of kings to be destroyed by the Han Dynasty for more than 100 years. ”

Ah Fa's ancestors were a member of the 500,000 Qin army that went south that year, they went south to Lingnan, defeated Baiyue, took root in Lingnan, and the Qin State perished, so they established the Nanyue State with Zhao Tuo, and then the Nanyue Kingdom was also destroyed by the Han Dynasty, so they became subjects of the Han Dynasty again.

However, because the mountains are high and the roads are far away, the Han Dynasty actually implemented a system of restraint for the Lingnan region, did not levy taxes on the people of Lingnan, and appointed local marshal chiefs as county magistrates, and the local tribute points local products every year to maintain loyalty to the central court.

It is precisely for this reason that Lingnan has basically been autonomous since then.

Of course, because of the southward Qin army in Lingnan, coupled with the fact that there were also horse aid in the Han Dynasty and other southward rebellions several times, there were also many Han people left, and later dynasties continued to have Han people go south, so slowly in the Lingnan area, there were three ethnic groups.

An ethnic group is like Ah Fa and them, their ancestors were Han people who went south, and later took root in Lingnan and began to live with the local Baiyue people, and even married, and slowly formed a group that was very different from the Central Plains, but they still considered themselves to be Central Plains people.

Another major ethnic group, is the eastern Guangdong Yi'an area, that is, the Chaoshan area of later generations, the people here are mainly the Heluo people who moved south, their ancestors lived in the Yellow River Luoshui area, and then continued to move south, these people live in the Chaoshan area of southern Fujian, and keep their own customs and traditions, and Ah Fa they are different from the descendants of the Qin army who went south to the south.

It can be said that the Heluo people are also a branch of the Han people, but they are still different from the Han-Vietnamese mixed blood like Ah Fa and them.

"If you want to say that the largest ethnic group in Lingnan is, of course, the slang."

"Slang should actually be considered two races." Ah Fa and Liu Ren tracks, slang, generally refers to those Yue people who live on the flat land in the mountains, their ancestors are mainly Ou people, and the wingmen are mainly Luo Yue people, in short, they are one of the previous hundred Yue. ”

Nowadays, slang officials seem to be similar to the Han people, but in fact there is a big difference. For example, the slang people mainly live on flat land, and live in a unit, and the original meaning of the mountain is to refer to the flat land between the mountains.

ON THE OTHER HAND, THE WINGMEN ARE LAO, AND THEY MAINLY LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Slang people are good at fishing and farming, while wingmen are good at hunting, in comparison, slang people get along better with us Han people, they are familiar, and wingmen are more ferocious.

In the thousands of years of Han and Yue integration, Ah Fa and these descendants of the Qin army have long become local natives, and they and the Han officials and soldiers who later went south to expand their sphere of influence in Lingnan little by little, to this day, mainly gathered in Nanhai County, Guilin County, Jiaozhi County and other important cities and plains, and later even slowly produced Han heroes such as Ning's Chen and Feng's, after several generations of efforts, they became slang marshals.

In these thousands of years of Han-Vietnamese integration, they also formed a fusion of language ancient vernacular, this ancient vernacular, in fact, is a language invented by the Qin people after they went south to communicate with Baiyue, and it is a new language with the pronunciation of Baiyue and ancient Chinese.

Later, it gradually became the lingua franca of Lingnan.

This kind of ancient vernacular has both ancient Chinese and Baiyue languages, which is very similar to the official dialect of the Central Plains today, but it can still be understood a little.

For example, Ah Fa called his father Lao Dou, Liu Renliang always felt strange, but some words were similar to the official dialect of the Han family. Fortunately, Ah Fa has been a Nanpiao in Nanhai County for a few years after all, so now the official dialect of the Central Plains is okay, even with a vernacular accent, Liu Renliang understands it after all.

"Unexpectedly, it turns out that the slang bureaucrats are actually two races."

"Yes, the slang people used to use the snail as a horn, and the wingmen used to use a brass drum. The slang people are good at fishing, firing pottery and porcelain, and the wingmen are good at hunting, smelting bronze and ironware, the bureaucrats tribes, almost all the tribes have copper drums, and they form some alliances between them, the head of the alliance is the chieftain, and some of the chieftains also have a huge copper drum weighing thousands of catties, carved and painted with many patterns, very beautiful, they also worship the god of thunder. ”

"What about slang?" Liu Renliang asked.

"Slang, they worship frogs."

"Frogs?" Liu Renliang doesn't understand what there is to worship frogs, it's normal for you to worship Thor, after all, the power of thunder and lightning, but where is the frog powerful?
