Chapter 1071: The South of the Five Ridges is in turmoil again
The emperor intended to do something to the local emperors in Lingnan, but in fact, his attitude was obvious years ago. A few years ago, Lingnan Ningyue County guarded Ning Changzhen and offered Hepu Dazhu, and Feng Xuan of Yongxi County entered Libu.
But the emperor did not accept it.
The emperor did not accept tribute from the two counties, and his attitude was very subtle.
Originally, it was normal for the local government to pay tribute to the emperor, but what was abnormal was that this time the two counties paid tribute to Pearl and Libu, but it was not the way they used to pay tribute to the central dynasty many years ago.
This way of paying tribute fully shows that Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan want to return the relationship between Lingnan and the imperial court to the pre-Sui period.
At that time, the policy of the Central Plains Imperial Court towards these local commanders in Lingnan was a restraint system, that is, as long as they submitted to the central court and were included in the territory of this system, then they fully enjoyed the autonomy of their own territory.
The officials were appointed by themselves, the army was recruited and controlled by themselves, the taxes were set by them, and they did not even pay taxes to the court, but only symbolic tribute.
This is the relationship between the imperial court and Lingnan that they are used to and want to return to.
The Ning clan has been in Lingnan West Road for several generations, and is a hereditary local chief, owning several counties. And Feng Xuan is Feng An's brother, and he is also the father of Ning Changzhen's daughter-in-law, and he is a family of children.
Feng Xuan participated in the rebellion in his early years when he was still in the Sui Dynasty, and was later relieved of his military power by his grandmother Mrs. Xian, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Feng Xuan rebelled with Xian Baoche, and later Xian Baoche was defeated, so he had no choice but to follow the advice of his brother Feng Ang and join the Qin Dynasty.
But now, he is really fighting with Ning Chang, trying to be autonomous.
At this time, the land of Lingnan was actually very barbaric and backward, and it was the so-called south of the Five Mountains, where people were mixed. Except for Nanhai County (Guangzhou), Guilin County and Jiaozhi County, the three coastal ports or key places into the mountains, which have been the key places for the Central Plains Dynasty to control Lingnan since the Wei and Jin dynasties, other counties, especially in the mountainous areas, have almost no control, and in the west of Lingnan, the control is even weaker.
Because of this, the detention system has been implemented here for a long time, which is the same as the imperial court for the Yunnan-Guizhou region, which is a place where there is no actual control.
Last year, when the imperial court was in the Northwest War, Ning Changzhen, the Taishou Ning of Ningyue County, Ning Daoming, the Taishou of Yongping, Ning Chun, the Taishou of Yongping, Feng Xuan, and the Taishou Tandian of Yulin County, discussed with each other many times.
They all wanted to get rid of the Qin Dynasty's attempts to further control Lingnan and return to the era of their own kings.
Later, Ning Chun opposed the rebellion and withdrew from the alliance, and Feng Ang of Gaoliang County was not willing to conspire with them at all.
In order to test the attitude of the imperial court, there was a change from tribute to tribute this time ago.
The emperor directly rejected their tribute, and the news was transmitted back to Lingnan, and Ning Changzhen and others began to intensify their plots, and the information was transmitted to Luoyang, and Luo Cheng was also stepping up deployment.
However, before Li Jing returned to Lingnan, Jinyiwei hurriedly played Lingnan.
Ning Daoming, the Taishou of Hepu County, took the lead in raising troops in Hepu, and then Feng Xuan, the Taishou of Yongxi County, also raised troops in response, and then Tan Dian, the slang chieftain who was as famous as the Feng family in Lingnan, also led Zhuxitong to raise troops.
In a short period of time, most of the cities of Ningyue, Hepu, Yongxi, Yongping, and Yulin counties at the junction of the two Guangxi provinces fell, and many slang people in Xidong were instigated.
When the emperor received an urgent report, he had no choice but to immediately summon Li Jing, Li Xizhi, Feng Ang and others.
"The edict awarded Li Jing as the commander of the left governor of Guangdong Province and the commander of Nanhai County, the edict awarded Feng Ang the commander of the right governor of Guangdong Province and the commander of Gaoliang County, the edict awarded Li Xizhi as the commander of the left governor of Guangxi Province and the commander of Guilin County, and the edict awarded Qiu He as the commander of the left governor of Guangnan Province and the commander of Jiaozhi County."
Because the two chieftains Ning Chun and Chen Longshu refused to conspire in the chaos, the emperor issued another decree to confer Ning Chun as the commander of Yongping County Taishou and the right governor of Guangxi Province, and awarded Chen Longshu as the Taishou of Cangwu County and the rank of Sanpin General.
"The situation in Lingnan is more complicated, and there are many Han slangs, but no matter what the situation, we resolutely cannot tolerate the rebellion of these people. You immediately return to Lingnan, first lead your troops to recover the cities of the counties, and then enter the clouds and clouds to open the mountains to encircle and suppress the Tan Dian and other slangmen, this time, to completely pacify these traitors. ”
hurriedly sent Li Jing and the others back to quell the chaos, and Luo Cheng couldn't help but have a headache.
I want to recuperate, I want to slow down, but these people just don't give me a chance.
They were all staring at the court, and when they saw that the vitality of the court was greatly damaged, they all wanted to lie down and suck a few mouthfuls of blood.
However, when Li Jing and others went south, the emperor still did not transfer troops and horses to Li Jing. Li Jing also said that with the soldiers of Lingnan, it was enough to quell the chaos.
And Luo Cheng didn't want to go around in circles to transfer troops in a circle before the three feudatories in the south of the Yangtze River were peaceful, it was too troublesome and too costly.
Li Jing crossed the river a few years ago and was able to pacify Lingnan, and now that he has a few years of operation, he believes that he will be able to quell the rebellion, and it may take a little more time, but Luo Cheng can't control it. Anyway, in that place in Lingnan, there has been no real tax collection in recent years, relying on the taxes and sea trade profits of Nanhai Port and Jiaozhi Port and Guilin City, which are controlled by the three cities of Guangang.
This time, the emperor asked Li Jing to transfer to the Nanhai Taishou and personally sit in Nanhai County, but also to ensure that this is the largest commercial port along the South China Sea, which is an important stop on the Luocheng Maritime Silk Road.
As for trusting Ning Chun and Feng An, that is also a last resort.
"It's really eventful, can't you give me three or five years?"
Another night passed, and it was just dawn.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial City Commander asks to see you."
"Xuan."
Li Xian came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Xiong has made a move, the Xiangxiong people raided the Tibetan embassy, they took advantage of these days Jinwu can't help it, the city gate is not closed at night, the lanterns on the street all night and the opportunity of the night market, in the early hours of the morning suddenly attacked the embassy, fortunately we have been prepared."
"Let's just talk about the result, how many people have been arrested?"
"In total, more than 100 Zhangxiong people participated in the attack, as well as dozens of Hu mercenaries, and we also captured dozens of people who took cover afterwards."
"In the Tibetan embassy, more than 30 Tibetan warriors died and more than 20 were injured, and the Tibetan envoy Gardonzan was also slightly injured, and Princess Saimaga was only a little frightened and was not injured."
"Can you prove that the attackers are Zhangxiong, can you prove that they were sent by Li Mixia?"
"Your Majesty, the Tibetans can prove that among the attackers were Li Mixia's subordinates, and some of the captured confessed that Li Mixia sent them."
Luo Cheng nodded.
"Very good, we have everything we want, now let's bring Princess Qianma Ga into the palace, as for Tubo and Zhangxiong, let them eat and bite the dog!"
These two dogs are torn up, which can also save him some troubles, Luo Cheng kneaded his temples, there have been too many worries recently, and it is also a matter if there is one less.
