4. Stand a copper pillar at the head of the step

Annam, why is it called Annam, because Annam is protected, is Funan, Linyi and Jiaozhi (now North Vietnam) three places, since the Qin and Han dynasties have set up counties in this place, although now Funan changed its name to Zhenla (that is, today's Laos, Cambodia), Linyi changed its name to Huanwang (Linyi, named Xianglin County of the Han Dynasty, Nanyue area), by the local chieftain called the king, but do not forget, it has always been the land of my Heavenly Dynasty county, how can you abandon it in person (Han and Tang Dynasties, even if it is the partial Eastern Wu and Southern Dynasties regimes, for Jiaozhi have paid countless blood, and the main one is not lost, And then a certain dynasty said lightly what is the benefit of turning the foreign land, and it is gone, of course, the bitter fruit after that, a certain dynasty is also full of bitterness - until the Ming Dynasty was briefly recovered, but it was too late)? As for the three states of Zhan, Yu, and Tanglin, it is just the middle waist of the three places, and Du Yinghan cannot be allowed at both ends of this head, but he ...... "In the newly recovered Jiaozhou City, Gao Yue paused slightly when talking about Zhanzhou, and then he walked in the hall, and after a little thought, he personally admitted to the new Annan soldiers and horses Zhang Zhou, "However, the use of troops cares about the time, the location, and the people, and these three are difficult to achieve in a hurry, so it is difficult for Wu Yijun to send troops to the war and the army, and then you must work hard to manage Jiaozhou for long-term planning." ”

Zhang Zhou's face was immediately solemn, and he asked the Duke of Weiguo for benefits: How to grasp the time, place, and people of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate?

Gao Yue replied: "Tianshi, this Tao previously promised the soldiers of Wu Yi Army, in Annan for the winter solstice festival, has been realized, but can not stay for a long time, because in two months Lingnan will be miasma, the former Emperor Yang conquered the forest, although he won a great victory, the monarch of the country in the deep forest, and dirty its palace, but from the winter to the summer, the triumphant division of the miasma plague, the soldiers lost more than half, resulting in undefeated and defeated, deep can be guarded. Therefore, after ten days of this road, it is necessary to prepare for the return of the army, and it is not necessary to continue to go deeper;

Geographical advantage, you look at this Jiaozhou City, the city is back twelve miles around, the city walls are all wooden fences, the way to guard in the past, is to garrison the water division in Su Lishui, Zhu Yuanshui and other water outlets, but our ship is preferred, why not a barbarian? The barbarians of Zhenla, Huanwang, and Jiaozhi, which one doesn't know how to be a boat? It is the strength of our side, but it cannot control the strength of the other side. After finishing speaking, Gao Yue handed over a volume of the picture scripture to Zhang Zhou, saying that then the new Annan capital protector envoy came, and you asked him to follow this map, build this Jiaozhou City, and then cooperate with the sailor, it can be firm, and the long system is short.

Zhang Zhou solemnly accepted it, and said to Gao Yue, and immediately requisitioned Jiaozhi people to renovate the new city.

Gao Yue hurriedly raised the "harmony" and said don't be impetuous, "Gao Zhengping was in charge of Annan before, why was he surrounded and died?" It is precisely because after he came, he changed the half-lost tax system to all-in, and carved the holes. Immediately, Ben Dao and Du Gong came from the imperial court to invite a new scripture envoy who was a fine official and could love people. Annam is the main road from Lingnan to Nanyang, and there are countless ships and barbarian ships, so why do you need to collect tribute and tax rice? It is good to set up a field to draw business tax directly. At the beginning of the new economic envoy getting off the car, he first exempted the local tax, which was pleasant, and then I was in Huaiyang, Du Gong's pledge warehouse in Panyu could first borrow 200,000 yuan, and hire people here to build the city. ”

"Borrowing ...... and ...... employment What about repayment? Zhang Zhou was a little confused.

Gao Yue said that anyway, Jiaozhou, as one of the five governors of Lingnan, was still under the command of Du Gong, and Du Gong sent officials to set up the "Bo Yu Maritime Institute" in Jiaozhi, and repaid it for three years with the income from commercial taxes.

Now Zhang Zhou understood, but he was still very surprised that the government could actually borrow money from the pledge merchant Jia, and then use his own tax money to repay it.

Not only that, Gao Yue also taught Zhang Zhou the second aspect of "harmony": when Annan Jiaozhi is stabilized, you have to recruit local barbarians, train the land and water armies, and then choose the opportunity to ask Du Gong to send an army to conquer Du Yinghan, if the kingdom dares to help, take the opportunity to subdue it.

"What Wei Guogong said is that at that time, he will be able to contact Zhenla and destroy the Huan Kingdom together."

Gao Yue was overjoyed, and said that Zhang Zhou, you can also draw inferences, but it's a pity that you have read two years less, "Don't talk about Zhenla, even those who admire my Datang in the kingdom of the ring can be used by us. ”

At the same time that Gao Yue gave Zhang Zhou a good opportunity, Wu Yi's army marched west along the Zhu Yuan River to the Dianche Lake in Jianing, and easily won a sweeping victory against the Qu tribe who did not accept the resistance.

Originally, Feng Xing and Feng Xiao went west, just to defect to the Qu Bureaucracy, and after learning that the Tang Army had recovered the Annan Protectorate, the Qu Bureaucracy did not know that they were dead, so they colluded with the barbarians in the territory of Nanzhao, gathered more than 10,000 people, and occupied the Dianche Lake to make a rebellion - the Tang Army's boats and boats, under the command of Bai Liangqi and Zhang Xi, took advantage of the rising water to break into the lake, burned the barbarian ships, and carried the elite on the floating water, killed the Qu Bureaucracy's holes, beheaded 3,700 people, and captured 5,000 people.

Then the Tang army boat went along the red water, all the way to the west, straight to the head of the step (step, in ancient times, that is, the port), and the junction of Nanzhao before stopping, and in the front of the step of the mountain buried the copper pillar, carved the merit.

At the same time, Zhang Xi was still in the old cave of Qu Yuandu, who had been killed, and found the sigil issued by Nanzhao and sent it to Gao Yue in Jiaozhou City.

Gao Yue then ordered that he be captured and taken to the seventy-fourth of the "rebel first evil", and all of them were beheaded in the Jinbu field near the river outside the city to set an example.

Then he wrote a letter in his own hand, together with the captured Nanzhao sigil, asking the caravan to carry it directly to the city of Yang Tho, angrily accusing Yimu Xun of colluding with the Annan barbarians for treachery.

Next, in the Metropolitan Protectorate, Gao Yue "received" the merchants on the various ships and barbarian ships that he had not had time to get rid of before.

After inquiring in turn, Gao Yue knew that they were from Zhenla, Huanwang, as well as Haling (Java, Indonesia), Sri Buddha (Palembang, Indonesia) and other sea countries, so he said that you are all here to communicate with us, and the door is open to you at any time, so I will return the ship and goods to you, and you can return to China freely after the sale.

The group of merchants were all grateful and bowed down to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue then inquired about the geography of their land, the origin of their specialties, the date of their voyage, etc., and wrote another letter to the merchants, asking them to bring them back, inform the kings of various countries, and send envoys to Chang'an City in time to resume the pilgrimage to our Tang Dynasty and pay tribute.

After arranging everything, Gao Yue temporarily handed over the capital to Zhang Zhou and the Lingnan Pingbo Army, and he sailed with Wu Yijun and Zhenjun to return to Qinzhou and Lianzhou.

At this time, Du You finally raised his eyebrows:

Huangdong Barbarian Remnant Party, the so-called Rongcheng King Huang Shaodu below thousands of barbarians, first attacked Wugang City and was defeated by Tang soldiers, and then flowed eastward to Daozhou City, and was repelled by Li Jifu, the assassin, knowing that their main force was all in Pennzhou Pond was destroyed, knowing that Xiyuan could not go back, so he tried to go to Qianshui and hide in Guizhou.

But the local cave barbarians in Qianzhong betrayed Huang Shaodu, burned the ferry boats, and blocked his way.
