Feng Ang was a tall middle-aged man, with a burly figure, a heavy face like a jujube, and a long beard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he saw Li Chao, strode up, lifted his cloak, and bowed down.

"Xiaguan Gaozhou Assassin Shi Feng Ang visited King Yue."

Li Chao smiled, got up and went over, and stretched out his hand to support Feng An's arms, "Feng Tingshi worked hard to help, but he didn't go out of the city in time to greet him, and he was offended." ”

Feng Ang got up, looked at Li Chao, and found that this world-famous Yue King was too young, much younger than his sons, but such a person was like a dragon crossing the river, and he put them in an extremely embarrassing situation at once.

"It's too late." He turned his head to Feng Xuan and waited, "They are also dizzy, they dare to make trouble when they listen to rumors, and they don't want to think about it, since the Han and Jin Dynasties, Lingnan has been subjugated to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains has always let the Lingnan people govern the Lingnan people, how can Your Majesty want to kill you." ”

The four chieftains Ning Changzhen, Feng Xuan, Pang Xiaogong, and Zhou Xiaojian were tied up by Wuhua and stood there.

"Don't kneel down and ask King Yue for guilt!" Feng Ang shouted.

Li Chao looked at Feng An's posture and just smiled. There was still a bit of threat in his words. What Lingnan people rule Lingnan, that is the past. How can there be such good things now?

Since it is defeated, it is defeated.

"Now that you can get lost, it's not too late." Li Chao stopped Feng An's posture, "Since several generals have realized their mistakes and are willing to repent, I am very happy." Come on, untie the four thorns! ”

"Look!"

Feng Ang said to the four, "Don't thank King Yue for not killing him." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and put on a smiling face, "King Yue, they are also fascinated for a while, you see that they are also sincerely repentant now, and ask King Yue to say a few good words for them when he reports to the court." Since the Sui Rebellion, Lingnan has not been quiet, thieves are rampant, slang and fangs are in chaos, and the place is all supported by the hard work of our people, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

"Feng Tingshi is reasonable, and several people also have great merit, and if they make a mistake for a while, they can still repent. Although this king was appointed by His Majesty as the ambassador of the Seven Southwest Provinces, he had no right to dispose of the four assassins. In this case, I will send four people to Beijing, and you will personally explain to His Majesty the Emperor in person, how about it?"

Feng Ang frowned slightly, he didn't expect Li Chao to play his cards again out of common sense. Under normal circumstances, since Feng Xuanning Changzhen has surrendered, the imperial court should not blame the past, and even reward and appease him. After all, Lingnan is still up to them.

But now, Li Chao wants to send these four people to Hanjing to face the saint.

This ・・・・・・

Before he could speak, Li Chao had already said, "The four generals will rest here, and the king will send a boat to send the four to Beijing early tomorrow morning." ”

Ning Changzhen was silent.

He looked at Feng An, and several families in Lingnan were still headed by Feng An.

But Feng Ang didn't know what to say at this time.

"King Yue, whether to let this matter go first, there are still many slang fangs outside that need to be appeased. A few of them still have some prestige here, can you let them make meritorious contributions and appease these people. ”

Li Chao glanced at Feng An, and wanted to scare him with this?

"Don't worry, I have my own way to appease the people outside, so I don't have to worry about the four generals."

Feng An's face was very ugly, and he couldn't imagine that Li Chao would not give face at all.

Liu Renliang strode in.

"Report to the king of Yue, a hundred warships in Jiaozhou and Vietnam, and eight thousand reinforcements have arrived in the Pearl Mother Sea, just outside Qinzhou Bay. In addition, 100 warships of the Yangtze River Fleet and 8,000 Wang Divisions are also about to arrive in Guangzhou. ”

"Hahaha, they came pretty fast." Li Chao burst out laughing.

Feng An's face changed drastically.

He was thinking about the truth or falsehood of these two news, there were not many officers and troops in Jiaozhou and Vietnam, but if he said that he wanted to gather 100 ships and 8,000 soldiers and horses, it was not impossible. The Nanyang Company alone is huge, with hundreds of merchant ships and many caravans to escort them.

There is also Guangzhou, if the North Ya Yangtze River Fleet goes south to Guangzhou, then his hometown Gaozhou is very dangerous.

Li Chao is a ruthless method, and he has already played chess step by step.

And he made a mistake, a wrong step.

Outside the city of Qinzhou, there are tens of thousands of troops of the chieftains of Lingnan, but at sea, there are also Li Chao's two fleets and more than 10,000 reinforcements. No matter how you look at it, he Feng Ang doesn't have half an advantage.

At this time, knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach, and that's the only way.

Feng Ang turned his head to his eldest brother Feng Xuan and niece and son-in-law Ning Changzhen and said, "You have made a mistake in a moment of confusion, and you should personally repent to Your Majesty." Tomorrow morning, you will enter Beijing. ”

Ning Changzhen and the four of them had no choice but to respond.

After getting these people, Li Chao let people serve tea.

"Please send a few generals out of the city, and let the lords of each city also enter the city to attend the banquet, this king has prepared good wine and good food!"

Outside the city of Qinzhou, on the riverside, more than 50,000 rebels were camped for ten miles, and the originally tense atmosphere of the battle became relaxed at this time. There is no need to fight, and the slang fangs are happy. In fact, few people are willing to fight, especially after seeing the power of the official army.

After receiving the order sent by Feng Xuan and other chieftains, the lords rode into the city happily.

The situation in Lingnan is relatively special, although it is divided by Feng Ningchen and other powerful people, they do not have complete control over their own territory. They set up state counties on their territory, and they mainly controlled the flat land of the towns below the mountain, where there were many Han people, as well as the slang fangs who settled down, and these people were also called shuban.

And in those mountains, there are many slang fangs who have not been naturalized at all, and these people are divided by streams, each with its own chieftain, and has its own tribe. Although the Feng and Chen families can give orders to these people on the surface, in fact, the relationship between those Xi Yan and them is the same as their relationship with the imperial court.

It is this complicated situation that makes Feng Ang and the others dare not go against it now. Lingnan was originally an alliance between the Han Chinese who immigrated in the early years and the local slang fangs, or a loose alliance, and there were pro-Tang factions such as Ning Chun, Chen Longshu, and Chen Zhiluo, who were simply unable to confront the Central Plains.

In the city of Qinzhou, the banquet was set up.

Good wine and good food were put on the table, and the leaders of the brook were happy to eat and drink without heart and lungs, in their opinion, there was no need to fight, and life would continue as usual when they went back.

Only Feng An, Feng Xuan, Ning Changzhen and others did not have a good face, they couldn't laugh at all, no matter how good the wine and food were, they were tasteless.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Li Chao got up and tapped the wine glass with chopsticks.

Everyone stopped, their eyes on each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all of you here are the Han chiefs of the Lingnan generation and the local slang chiefs, today, we gather in the city of Qinzhou, drink wine together, eat meat in large pieces, that is a great fate. I, Li Chao, was crowned the king of Yue by His Majesty, and the feudal country is not far away, just west of Jiaozhou, and we will be neighbors in the future, and we will have to rely on everyone to take care of it in the future! ”

A group of people laughed, thinking that the young Yue King was quite talkative.

"Of course, I was also appointed by His Majesty as the ambassador of the seven southwestern provinces, but now these small problems in Lingnan have been solved, and everyone will live as usual in the future."

The crowd applauded in unison.

Then Li Chao announced that the people of Lingnan would be tax-free for one year, and the people of Slang Fang would be tax-free for the first three years of naturalization.

The slang fangs had reacted this time.

Except for those who were registered for naturalization by Feng Chen and others, the rest of the slang fangs lived happily in the mountains, and they didn't need to pay taxes at all. Therefore, who cares about the three-year tax exemption for naturalization. In the past, Feng Chenning's family often persuaded them to naturalize with the condition of half tax for naturalization, but they were unwilling, and for this reason, there were many battles.

Li Chao only kept smiling at this.

Had a great meal.

Li Chao said goodbye to these leaders one by one, and the leaders who got a gift from Li Chao also said that they would take their sons home when they left the city.

"King Yue, there is still a hall in Jiangzhou, and I am willing to go to persuade him to surrender in person!" Feng Andao.

"No, you don't." Li Chao refused with a smile.

Early the next morning, in addition to Feng An's 20,000 troops, the remaining more than 30,000 rebels left their camps and went home, each looking for their own mother.

And Li Chao also personally sent Feng Xuan, Ning Changzhen and other four rebel assassins onto the ship.

After doing this, Li Chao sent an envoy to Jiangzhou.

Three days later, the palace was finally withdrawn from the siege.

A week later, Tan Dian came to Qinzhou with more than 10,000 men and horses.

With them, there were also Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Ningxuan, Nanhezhou Thorn Shi Ningchun and their 8,000 soldiers and horses.

Li Chao comforted him with a few words of relief for Tan Dian, who came to ask for his guilt, and then put him on the ship and sent him to Hanjing.

Then, Li Chao disbanded the soldiers and horses of Tan Dian, Ning Xuan and others, and also let Feng An's soldiers go back. However, Li Chao left Feng An, Ning Xuan, and Ning Chun.

A few days later, Chen Longshu also rushed to visit.

The clouds of war over Lingnan have dissipated, but in Qinzhou City, several Lingnan chieftains present here are a little apprehensive.

Feng Ang and several of his sons of the Thorn History, Ning Xuan and his son Ning Chun, as well as Chen Longshu, the Thorn History of Luzhou, and Chen Zhiluo, the Thorn History of Duanzhou.

After a rebellion, Li Chao's guests were still members of Feng Ning and Chen's three families. The Chen family was not involved in the rebellion this time, and it was the least hit, but the rest of the Feng Ning family was fine.

The five chieftains Ning Changzhen, Feng Xuan, Tan Dian, Pang Xiaogong, and Zhou Xiaojian were sent to Jingshi, and their subordinates were disbanded and sent home, which seemed to have no effect.

But Feng Ang knew that Li Chao could not settle the matter so easily, and there must be something to do in the future.

Qinzhou City, the original mansion of Ning Changzhen, now Ning Changzhen's family is still in Yazhou, and this mansion has become Li Chao's handsome mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is very hard-won to eliminate the disaster together, and Lingnan repeats the peace."

Feng Ang waited for Li Chao's words. It is leaning on 100,000 mountains in the west and the Pearl Sea in the south, and there is an excellent Qinzhou Bay that can be used as a commercial port. There is the Qinjiang River connected to the north, and there are the left and right rivers and the Manjiang River to connect the northern part of Guangxi, and now the sea trade is thriving, we have Jiaozhou Port in the southwest, and Guangzhou Port in the northeast, which are all prosperous commercial ports, Qinzhou is in the middle, and merchant ships must pass through, so why miss this development opportunity? ”

Li Chao said with a smile, "I plan to build a new city in Qinzhou, move south to the mouth of the seaside river, and rely on the bay to build a port." Build Qinzhou into the third largest port in southwest China after Guangzhou and Jiaozhou! ”
