Chapter 209: Suppressing Lingnan

After Li Jing sent Cen Wenwen away, he applied to Li Shimin to go to Lingnan to suppress Lingnan:

"Second Highness, now that we have invaded Jiangling, the Changsha territories in the Jingnan area have also been recruited by our army, but the attitude of Feng An, Li Guangdu, Ning Changzhen and others, the barbarian slang leaders in the Lingnan area, is ambiguous, and the former Sui Jiaozhou Governor Qiu and occupy Jiaozhi Qiongzhou, our dynasty has not yet unified the world, and the troops deployed here cannot be too much, once they join forces and chaos, then the Xiaoliang land obtained by our army will become a quagmire, and it is difficult to pull out both feet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Shimin smiled:

"The pharmacist is really far-sighted, but you don't have to worry about this matter, because Qiu He has already sent a secret envoy to contact our army, you see, he is behind you." Li Jing looked in the direction pointed by Li Shimin, and saw a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament and a vague aristocratic temperament standing in front of them:

"I don't know who this gentleman is?"

"Pharmacist! Let me introduce to you, this is the uncle-in-law of this king, Lord Gao Shilian. This time, he brought a letter of peace written by Lord Qiu He, and the people in the area of Jiaozhi Qiongzhou have already submitted to our dynasty. Moreover, he has lived in Lingnan for a long time, and he is also very clear about the contradictions between them. After Gao Shilian saluted Li Shimin and Li Jing, he introduced the situation of the Lingnan slang leaders to Li Shimin and Li Jing:

"Among the three major slang leaders, the best to deal with and the best to recover is Feng An, his great-grandfather Feng Bao is not a complete slang descendant, they are the descendants of the Northern Yan royal family, Feng Bao has been exposed to it since childhood, influenced by Confucianism, influenced by Confucius and Mencius, developed a kind gentleman's character, diligent and studious since childhood, when he was young, he was sent to the capital Jiankang Taixue to study, he traveled very widely, he was about twenty years old and famous, and was appointed as the Taishou of Gaoliang County by the Liang Imperial Court. However, his father, Feng Rong, who was the assassin of Luozhou, knew that he was a Han official from the north to the south, and he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Gaoliang area where ethnic minorities such as slang fangs were dominant, and it would not work to push the administrative decree and rely on the local powerful surname, so Rong Gong was far-sighted, broke the traditional prejudice, and persuaded his son to take the daughter of the Xian family, the leader of the slang people's congress, as his wife, creating a precedent for Han slang marriage. With the help of the Xian family, the Feng family inherited the history of Gaozhou assassination for three generations, and Mrs. Xian has always been committed to the Central Plains, and helped Xiao Liang to quell the Hou Jing Rebellion in the Liang Dynasty. In the process of participating in the pacification of the Hou Jing rebellion, he became acquainted with Chen Baxian, the later lord of the Chen Dynasty, and believed that he was the one who pacified the troubled times, and Mrs. Xian later assisted Chen Baxian in capturing and killing Li Qianshi. The Liang Dynasty talked about countering the rebellion and canonized Mrs. Xian as "Protecting Mrs. Hou." Chen Ba first proclaimed the emperor, and Chen Chaoli. Her husband Feng Bao died, Lingnan was in turmoil, and Mrs. Xian calmed the chaos and was canonized as Mrs. Shilong County. The Sui Dynasty was established, and several counties in Lingnan jointly promoted Mrs. Xian as the main and honored her as the "Holy Mother". Mrs. Hou Xian led the people of Lingnan to join her, and the Sui Dynasty added the title of Mrs. Qianguo, and asked Her Royal Highness to write to the imperial court and add the title to win over the heart of her grandson Feng An. The second is to deal with Li Guangdu, whose ancestral home is Changsha, and his ancestors were exiled in Luozhou and Luocao during the confrontation between the north and south of the Central Plains, and merged with the Slang tribe and became the Daqu Shuai of the Slang Chief. Now that he is old and frail, he wants to return to the Central Plains to see, the power has been transferred to his son-in-law Tan Dian, and Tan Dian is greedy, and only wants to take over the power in the hands of his father-in-law. The most difficult to deal with is Ning Changzhen, whose family is a real descendant of the slang people, since the time of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, after Ning Kui served as the assassin of Nandingzhou, the Ning family for three consecutive generations (Ning Kui, Ning Mengli, Ning Changzhen) respectively inherited as the chief parent officer and minority chieftain of the states and counties in the Qinzhou region, and carried the road in and out of the chariot and horse, and the prestige was very prominent. All affairs within the jurisdiction are subject to what the ruler Ning says. And his people are very ambitious, when Xiao Mo was in power, he once led the troops of Lingnan to attack Qiuhe from the sea. intends to seize the countries west of Linyi, and has given Qiu He many times the pearls, cultural rhinos, and golden treasures, so without the support of Feng Ang and Tan Dian, he must not deal with Ning Changzhen. After listening to Gao Shilian's explanation, Li Shimin immediately wrote to Li Yuan, and after Li Yuan received Li Shimin's recital, he named Li Jing as the ambassador of Lingnan Province and the governor of Guizhou. Gao Shilian is the deputy envoy of Lingnan Province. Li Jing and Gao Shilian discussed:

"Gao Daren, a remote place, far away from the imperial court, since the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he has not been favored by the imperial court, and he has never been educated by Confucius and Mencius, and has never followed the etiquette and music. Gao Shilian agreed with Li Jing's opinion, and they led their troops and horses to set off from Guizhou to the south, and wherever they passed, Li Jing and Gao Shilian personally went to visit the local famous old people. Compete for the hearts and minds of the people from the three major slang leaders, and when they go to the cave where the three slang leaders are located, they are also very respectful of the three major slang leaders, but they are never humble. Under the combination of soft and hard work of the two of them, the three major slang leaders finally surrendered to Li Shimin, and Feng Ang and Ning Changzhen also sent their sons and nephews and Li Guangdu's family to Jingzhou to meet Li Shimin accompanied by Li Jing and Gao Shilian:

"Chenning Yulin (Feng Lingpu) see King Qin! See the King of Lujiang, see the King of the River! Ladies and gentlemen! ”

"Weichen Li Guangdu see King Qin! See the King of Lujiang, see the King of the River! Ladies and gentlemen! ”

"Ahh Everyone, please start. ”

"King Xie Qin!" Li Shimin observed the three people in front of him, Li Guangdu and Feng Lingpu were both wearing wide clothes and big sleeves common in the Central Plains, dressed as Confucians, only Ning Yulin had colorful feathers on his head, his face was smeared with the blood of birds and beasts, and he was wearing fur, dressed as a savage. Li Shimin looked at Ning Yulin:

"Why is Lord Ning dressed like this, didn't this king order to give Lord Ning a dress?" Ning Yulin replied to Li Shimin without being humble or arrogant:

"His Royal Highness King Lao Qin is concerned, it's not that the ceremonial officials didn't provide him with a dress, but he just had a rough skin underneath, and he didn't like the silk cloth in the Central Plains, but felt that the fur was comfortable on his body." Ning Yulin's words made the Li Tang officials present uncomfortable, especially Li Xiaogong and Li Jin, who couldn't wait to pull out their swords and cut this barbarian. Li Shimin motioned to Li Xiaogong and Li Ying with his eyes not to act rashly:

"The three adults must be tired, come on! Send the three adults to rest at the inn. "After the three of them left, Li Shimin said in his heart: 'One day, I must follow the example of the first emperor and regain the great cause of South Vietnam.' Then he turned to Li Xiaogong and Li Ying and said:

"Two cousins, don't mind, that barbarian man doesn't know the etiquette of the Central Plains, and quickly report to Chang'an, this king will bring three adults and Qiu He to enter the capital to face the saint together. In addition, the whole city was notified that in order to celebrate the pacification of Lingnan, the whole city feasted for three days and celebrated with fireworks. ”

I went to work this morning, so I got up at 5:40 to upload, and everyone collected a lot.
