My Ji surname is the root of the Ning family, which is derived from the Zhou family. The distant ancestor Uncle Kang, the same brother of King Wu of Zhou, was first sealed in the Kangdi of Jinei. King Wu destroyed Shang and built Zhou, and then sealed in Yinxu, founded the defense of the country, and set the capital of Chaoge. Passed to the 10th Wei Wu Gong, his youngest son Ji Ji (wei) in Ningyi, after the Yi as the clan, this is the origin of my Ning surname! ”

On the bank of the Yujiang River, in the city of Yongping County, Yongping Taishou Ningchun wore a scarlet round-necked official robe and a beam crown, impassioned.

The Ning family used to be the surname of the Central Plains, and later went south during the time of Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty, and was placed by Emperor Wu of Liang in the Ningyue area, which was still very backward and wild at that time, and was Qinzhou at that time.

The first to take the Ning clan south was Ning Kui, and since him, the Ning clan has gone through three generations. From the earliest time when Ning Kui went down to the south of the Yangtze River with only a few clan servants to pioneer the land, to now, the Ning clan has occupied almost the entire Beibu Gulf region.

After the Chen Dynasty Liang, the Sui Dynasty Chen, and then the Qin Dynasty Sui.

The Ning clan has a firm grasp of the control of the Beibu Gulf area, and the key is that they have operated here for several generations, not only with prestige, but also with private soldiers.

In the Sui Dynasty, after Ning Kui died, Ning Meng took his father's position as the assassin of Anzhou, and he was a very ambitious person. After succeeding as the assassin of Anzhou, he sent his younger brother Ning Xuan to lead troops into the area of Daliandong in Hepu, open up a new county, and choke the southeast coast.

At that time, although prefectures and counties were also set up on the map of Beibu Gulf, in fact, they were mainly slang people and bureaucrats, who did not obey education and did not make up households.

When Ning Xuan came to develop with his subordinates, this was still a place under no one's jurisdiction, and it was full of slang. After Ning Xuan arrived, he first negotiated with the local Xiyuan leaders, and then used troops against the Xitong who refused to be attached, pulled and beaten, and finally subdued the slang bureaucrats, and then mobilized them to go down the mountain, open up wasteland and farm, go down the mountain to build villages, and establish a new county, Dalian County.

Later, after the fall of the Chen Dynasty and the Sui took over Lingnan, knowing Ning Xuan's actual rule in this area, he simply appointed him as the Taishou of Hepu County.

In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Ning Mengli's son, Ning Changzhen, the Taishou of Ningyue County, used the same method to open up Nanbin County and Zunhua County in the north of Ningyue.

At the beginning, when Ning Kui went south, there was only one city, and when Ning Kui died, there were already five counties. By the time Ning Mengli and Ning Xuan brothers arrived, eleven new counties had been opened.

To Ning Changzhen, the son of Ning Mengli, after Ning Xuan took over the two counties of Ningyue and Hepu, he opened up several counties each.

As a result, the entire Beibu Gulf area was brought under the jurisdiction of the Ning clan.

The relationship between the Ning family and the slang bureaucracy is also very good, pulling and fighting, all the streams surrender, and the court even directly called the Ning family a slang handsome.

This is similar to the Feng family, another great marshal in Lingnan, when the Feng family also went south in Liangnan, originally the Northern Yan royal family, after the destruction of the country, Nantou, was placed in the Xinhui area.

At the beginning, the order did not go out of the city, and later the Feng family and the Lingnan slang clan Xian family married, since then the Feng Xian family has been married for generations, and the Feng family also moved from the south to the Gaoliang area, and after obtaining the support of the local slang, the Feng family's power expanded rapidly, and there were several states and counties.

Therefore, in the coastal area on both sides of the mountains between the east and west roads of Lingnan, the Beibu Gulf in the west is the territory of the Ning family, and the coastal area in the east is the territory of the Feng family, and Hainan Island is also under the territory of the Feng and Xian families.

The Feng family's development of Hainan Island, it can be said that Hainan Island, which had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for more than 600 years, was reclassified into the Chinese territory, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Hainan Island belonged to the Nanyue Kingdom, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Nanyue and set up a county on Hainan Island, but soon after, the slang people on the island rebelled, and the Han Dynasty simply abandoned the county at this time, so it has been separated from the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years.

It was not until the sixth year of the Great Cause that the Sui Dynasty placed Zhuya County and established ten counties on the basis of Feng's rule of Hainan Island, which was 650 years since Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty abandoned Hainan Island.

Feng and Ning, the Ning clan continued to explore the wasteland to the west, while the Feng clan continued to expand southward, expropriating the slang people of the Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island.

At the same time, because of the same origin, the two families formed an alliance with each other, and it was also a generational marriage, mutual support, and joint recruitment of slang bureaucrats, and the efforts of several generations have had a strong effect on the development of Lingnan.

It can be said that before that, the imperial court had a few strongholds in Lingnan, and the rest of the places were actually slang.

But after the development of Feng Ning and Chen and other heroes who went south, dozens of counties were newly opened up in Lingnan.

In the short period of more than 20 years when the Sui Dynasty ruled Lingnan, its control over Lingnan was further strengthened, but it still mainly relied on these local handsome and powerful people, appointed them as local governors, and gave them the privilege of selecting and appointing officials in the south.

Even each of them has its own army.

During the period of Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Ming of Sui, although there were rebellions in Lingnan, they all fought and pulled in the end, and finally returned to the old state, and the return of these slang marshals in Lingnan to the imperial court was to pay tribute every year, and when the Sui Dynasty needed to use troops in Guizhou or Goguryeo, they also sent troops to accompany the army.

For example, when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, Lingnan sent 30,000 soldiers, most of which were put together by the Ning, Feng and Chen families.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the eight major forces in Lingnan were divided and attacked each other, and finally Luo Cheng sent Li Jing to the south, breaking through the barrier between Jiaozhi Luo Yi and Li Xizhi in Guilin, and then persuaded Feng Ang to surrender, and finally the Ning clan also led troops to annex, and Lingnan was pacified.

In the following years, Daqin can be said to have little action against Lingnan.

Basically, the Lingnan slang marshals served as the county guards, and their children were used as county commanders, etc., mainly to pacify. However, in recent years, the imperial court has wanted to abolish the system of southern elections.

The so-called southern election means that the selection and appointment of officials in Lingnan is not through the central officials of the imperial court, but by the local Taishou themselves, which is the previous practice, but for the Qin Dynasty, it is impossible to always be elected in the south, otherwise Lingnan will always be just the territory of those slang marshals.

The imperial court was just about to abolish the southern election, but the Lingnan families refused.

In the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the major forces were affected a lot, but the Ning clan and the Feng clan did not weaken much, on the contrary, because of their geographical location and early annexation, their power increased.

For example, at this time, Ning Changzhen was the Taishou of Ningyue County, Ning Changzhen's nephew Ning Daoming was the Taishou of Hepu County, and his cousin Ning Chun was the Taishou of Yongping County.

Ning Daoming is the son of Ning Changzhen's brother Ning Zhen, Ning Zhen was also a fierce general in his early years, once led Feng's soldiers and horses to follow the Sui army to conquer Linyi, and also went north to Cangwu to fight the rebels.

At that time, Ning Chun was still young, so it was normal for his cousin to take over.

Later, the Ning clan opened up several counties to the north, and after Daqin took over Lingnan, because of Ning's meritorious service, he simply awarded Ning Chun as the Yongping Taishou.

This year, Ning Zhen died of illness, and the Ning family asked his son Ning Daoming to be the Taishou of Hepu as usual, but the imperial court did not agree.

Ning Daoming simply called himself Taishou in Hepu, but in fact he had already overstepped it, and then he made the matter of paying tribute to Hepu Dazhu, which had already challenged the bottom line of the imperial court.

And Yongping Taishou Ning Chun and Ning Chang are really cousins, but they are Ning Daoming's uncles. He believed that this Hepu Taishou was originally inherited by Ning Zhen after his death, and Hepu County could be much larger than Yongping County.

Therefore, the relationship between Ning Chun and Ning Daoming was tense, and Ning Chun was also dissatisfied with Ning Changzhen's favoritism towards Ning Daoming, and almost turned his face with him.

When Ning Changzhen's uncle and nephew decided to join Feng Xuan to raise troops, Ning Chun had already decided to stand opposite them.

First, he thought that Ning Changzhen's uncle and nephew were bullying him, and second, he also thought that Ning Changzhen's uncle and nephew could not win the court.

Of course, on the surface, it cannot be said that it was because of the internal strife in Hepu County, so he could only summon his subordinates and soldiers and horses and various Xitong slang officials to raise troops with him in the name of righteousness.
