Originally, the city was chaotic due to fire, coupled with low morale, and soon the Song army entered Yongzhou City. In the morning, the battle was over, Di Qing took his own soldiers into the city, and the battle captured tens of thousands of taels of gold, countless jewels, not only captured from the state treasury, but also some of them were robbed by Nong Zhigao from large households from all over the country, thousands of miscellaneous animals, and some of the rebels who surrendered chose their severity, except for some of the most evil people, sent envoys to send them home.

But there was a problem, and Nong Zhigao didn't know where to go. Someone pulled out a dead body wearing the golden dragon emperor's robe from the dead body, and everyone thought that this person was Nong Zhigao. Di Qing said: "An knows whether it is a fraud? It is better to lose wisdom and high merit than to accuse the court of being greedy for merit. ”

So this has become a historical mystery, because of Zheng Lang, this mystery will still exist.

Di Qing reported the situation to Zheng Lang, especially this dead body, which caused a lot of controversy. Zheng Lang was late enough to bring a hundred men to Yongzhou City.

Because of the rebellion, Yongzhou, which was prosperous in the past, was full of ruins, and Zheng Lang went straight to the dead body and stared at it. There are many rumors in history that he is not dead, so the Song Dynasty sent an army to conquer Temo Village, and captured Anon and other relatives, but still did not get Nong Zhigao. Some people say that he fled to Dali again, and the Song Dynasty forced Dali to hand over people, Dali Duan Silian just took the throne after a series of royal family battles, and Yang Shengxian, an important minister in the country, launched a civil strife, and saw that the Song Dynasty army tossed in the south for several years, Duan Silian had no choice but to send a head. Duan Silian's compromise move to send the Song Dynasty became more and more confusing.

Zheng Lang stayed in front of this dead corpse and watched, but he was thinking about two possibilities in his heart. One is to cheat death. Let the Song army not pay attention, and it will be good to survive in the future, and then Anon and others are still opposing the Song Dynasty. Why does Nong Zhigao see the head but not the tail? It was only said that he was leading, but no one saw it. However, suicide is very likely, and these people are all heroes. For example, the same is true for Xiang Yu who killed himself on the bank of Ufa. Even if they can escape safely from the heavy encirclement of the Song army, Jiaozhi will not be tolerated, the Song Dynasty will not be allowed, and the two countries will be oppressed, will Dali be compatible? It is better to take advantage of the most beautiful time, wear a golden dragon robe, live in a luxurious temple, and burn all this on fire. Even in hell, you can still enjoy the riches of the world.

Thinking of this, Zheng Lang said: "What about death, what about living?" Even if they are alive, who would dare to take them in? ”

It seemed that Zheng Lang was talking crazy under the big victory, but Di Qing's eyes lit up.

You can't listen directly, you have to listen indirectly, Nong Zhigao's life and death are uncertain. It is not necessarily a bad thing, and this time it is not only Nong Zhigao who goes south, but many barbarians who are not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court have to lobby first and then act. But you can't fight indiscriminately, and you must have a correct name when you leave the school. What if you are charged with taking in Nong Zhigao? The troops in his hands are strong enough, and he can use this crime to crusade against Dali and Jiaozhi.

Zheng Lang suddenly asked in a low voice, "General Di, do you know why the generals have to say that this corpse is the corpse of Nong Zhigao?" ”

"Fight for merit."

"General Di, you are now a privy deputy envoy, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but what about these soldiers? At the beginning of Taizong's annihilation of the Han Dynasty, the generals wanted to ask Emperor Taizong to reward his merits, Taizong wanted to run the sixteen states of Youyun, and said that the two merits were rewarded, so he did not reward his merits and led the army to the east, what was the result? ”

"I understand," Di Qing had an epiphany, bowed slightly and said, immediately go back to revise the folds, everyone carries the sedan chair, everyone's credit, then no matter whether Nong Zhigao is dead or not, the court will have a generous reward, and the morale of the three armies will be there, instead of arguing over a dead corpse as it is now.

Zheng Lang then convened a meeting with Yu Jing, Sun Wei and the generals, and the governors of the surrounding areas, and first said one thing: "Immediately pass on my order, and the prefectures and counties of Liangguang and Guangzhou will urgently convene the owners of the major villages and the owners of the villages, and go to Guizhou for talks on February 15. ”…,

Sun Wei frowned and said: "Xingzhi, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up, some of the Zhaitong are mostly outside the deep mountains and rivers, such as Qiongzhou Prefecture, and some are far away from Guizhou, such as Chaomei Prefecture. ”

Zheng Lang bowed his head and said slowly: "Brother Yuangui, I also know that Qiongzhou doesn't need to be notified, that can be put in the back." Although Chaomei Prefecture is far away from Guizhou, most of them are Han and barbarian mixed people, and the backward situation is not so shocking. In this way, Hui Chaomei Xun can come to Guizhou to meet on March 3. In other prefectures, it must not exceed 15 February, otherwise spring plowing and production will be delayed. ”

There are many stories behind the scenes, which Sun Wei does not know.

After Zheng Lang received the news of Di Qing's victory in Guizhou, he wrote a letter to the imperial court. Nong Zhi is uneven, and he can't think about any treatment. When it is extinguished, governance must be put in the first place. first wrote about what he saw along the way, Guangnan East Road did not go, but saw the situation in some states and counties of Guangnan West Road. The first bad is slavery, the owners of the mountains are collectively called the main households, but unlike the inland households of the Song Dynasty, they have absolute ruling power over the Tituo who are subordinate to them, they can allocate land to them, and they can trample on the children of Tituo at will, this Tituo is not as free as the Tang Dynasty, in order to improve wealth, the need for slaves is large, and the people who often come and go from the province as slaves, and the excesses often sell them to Jiaozhi as slaves, in order to seek a greater price difference. Including Nong Zhigao, after he returned to Yongzhou City, he brought back not only a large amount of captured wealth, but also a large number of slaves.

Zheng Lang didn't say that slavery was bad, and it was impossible to make all these barbarians become civilized at once. It can only be done slowly, so please ask the court to issue an edict prohibiting the various ministries from taking slaves captive, especially not harming the passing merchants.

You grab it, he robs it, business travel is not prosperous, how can the economy of a region develop?

This bad habit can also produce a bad phenomenon, the vendetta of various tribes, or annexation, for example, Nong Zhigao and his son are precisely because of the wanton annexation, and finally embark on the road of ambition. If such a tribe appears in the core area of Wuling, it may directly shake the entire rich Jiangnan area.

Then he writes about the backwardness of farming.

Zheng Lang did not use other places as an analogy, but used Guizhou, the most developed state on the West Road of Guangnan, the largest state in Guangxi, where many people are well-informed and know that the kind of slash-and-burn farming is unacceptable, and a few people also know how to use a plow. But Zheng Lang looked closely, this kind of plow made him cry and laugh. It is small and thin, and it can neither be deeply cultivated nor turned over the ploughed mud. Even this plow. In Guizhou, which is the most advanced in Guangxi, it is also quite rare. Most of them are a treadmill, and five or six days is less than a day of oxen ploughing. And not as deep as oxen ploughing. The situation is very similar to the Spring and Autumn Period, that is to say, compared with the Central Plains, Guizhou is 1,500 years behind!

Not to mention other states.

The third is the situation of miasma, because future generations can't see the miasma, so they have more doubts, and Zheng Lang also has doubts, but there are many expressions in the reports from all over the country. Zheng Lang also became suspicious, there may be. After all, the land is now vast and sparsely populated, and it is common to see poisonous arrows and trees that seal their throats with blood, and many barbarians also use it to make poison and apply it to arrows. Many closed areas live with a large number of poisons, and even the yellow eel with a thick bowl mouth can be seen from time to time, and it is in a special subtropical climate zone, these poisonous animals and plants grow, reproduce, and metabolize each other. There will inevitably be some impact on the environment. There are also a large number of dead corpses of animal value, which will generate ammonia from corpses. It won't be as scary as the rumors, but when you encounter this bad air, it can also make people sick.

However, there are too many of them, and almost half of the area is in the miasma zone. Zheng Lang didn't believe this. Even if it is governed, it will not be so large-scale governance, how much money does it cost? Pang Ji's flesh hurts, he hurts even more, and most of this money is what he has saved little by little. …,

The reason is probably because the people's lives are becoming more and more backward, and I don't know what Lingnan was like in the Tang Dynasty, but it definitely did not improve in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, once there are natural phenomena that cannot be understood in some places, or other sudden factors, they mistakenly think that there is miasma here, and they migrate more. Even if malaria is confused with miasma, it is more common people who get malaria due to mosquito transmission, not miasma. This has made large areas uninhabited miasma.

It's the first month,

The miasma in Datengxia in Yangshuo will not attack, Zheng Lang went in and took a look, in fact, many areas are fertile areas, and water resources are also abundant, which is suitable for planting.

Therefore, it is important to distinguish them one by one.

In the end, Zheng Lang also wrote a situation, after crossing Wuling, he actually saw two herds of wild elephants running, which shows how backward the local situation is.

Therefore, Zheng Lang made a request for the imperial court to transfer 1,000 families from the east and west roads of Jiangnan and Fujian roads, and these people must be good at farming, or good at planting cotton and sugarcane, and there are women in the family who are good at weaving, but the family situation must be below the fifth class.

When they were transferred to Liangguang, they were not required to teach, but let them work on their own, so that the local people in Liangguang could watch. The time is two years, and if he returns, the income of his labor will go to him, and the court will pay him the cost of returning and forth, as well as a reward of 100 to 200 yuan. If you don't go back, those who live and work in Lingnan will be given more beautiful fields. The safety was ensured by the imperial court, and in addition, a thousand cattle were asked from the imperial court, as well as other supplies such as Jiangdong plows.

Time is tight. Zheng Lang didn't need to say it one by one, if he was allowed to choose, he would rather be careful to stay with Yu Jing than Sun Wei to stay in Lingnan, although this person is proficient in military affairs, but he is too greedy. continued: "By the way, I would like to introduce you to someone. ”

Pointing to a big black and thin man on the side, he said, "He is Huang Shouling, the chief of Jietong." ”

Di Qing's victory, Huang Shouling's heart was lucky, came to pay a visit to Zheng Lang, and reported a piece of information by the way, that is, Nong Zhigao had told him two strategies, to prepare to seize Jinghu South Road and Jiangxi South Road, and to retreat is to let his mother Anon go to Temo Village and bribe Nong Xia Cheng, the owner of Temo Village. Before Di Qing's army arrived in Pennsylvania, Anon took Nong Zhigao's younger brother Nong Zhiguang and his two sons Nong Jifeng and Nong Jiming to Temo Village to prepare for war, intending to cooperate with Nong Zhigao, and retreat all the way to Dali.

The special grinding village is on the special grinding road, from the Yi language, especially for the pull, grinding for the cow, the road is turning, to here, pull the cow back, the front is not passable. Located in the place where the Song Dynasty interacted with Dali, the mountains are bigger, the forests are thicker, and the water is more dangerous. It can also be regarded as the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, but like Qiyuan Prefecture and other fetters, it is difficult to say whether it is under the jurisdiction of Dali or the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was not interested, and Dali was not very interested here.

Huang Shouling explained the situation in general.

Zheng Lang said: "In this way, let the soldiers of the states and counties led by a general lead Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan West Road go back, and spring plowing and production will be about to begin, and agricultural work can no longer be delayed." The soldiers belonging to Liangguang continued to stay, and in addition, the five thousand cavalry were to be sent back. ”

glanced at Di Qing and asked Di Qing's opinion.

The main purpose of going south is to prevent water and soil adaptation and malaria, whether there is miasma or not, Zheng Lang does not dare to do experiments, even if there are death row prisoners in Yongzhou City, he does not dare to do experiments, and it is rumored that Yanchen will make a fuss. Moreover, there are so many miasma areas, and there are different conditions, and there is no way to prove them one by one with live experiments. But now the environment is definitely worse than that of later generations, more undestroyed, there are many things or poisons in the forest, and mosquitoes like to grow in these damp and dark places, and the virus will be more on the body, and the possibility of contracting malaria is very great. The more people, the greater the harm of malaria, and Zheng Lang's first step in preventing malaria is to prevent and control mosquitoes. Use something to smoke, fasten the collar, and carry a mosquito net at night to isolate mosquito bites. The same is true for horses, the horses brought by the Fan Horse are not from the south, but all from the northwest, and some isolation measures must also be used. It's hot, and Fanzi can't adapt to the weather here. …,

It also depends on what Di Qing thinks.

Di Qing thought about it, Zheng Lang's meaning was very clear, the next step was to attack Temo Village, this is not only a village, attached to many small villages, there are many people, although not as strong as Nong Zhigao's peak strength, but there are factors such as the right time, place and people, and the people and horses that can be used by themselves, that is, the tens of thousands of local soldiers in Liangguang, or the 10,000 forbidden soldiers brought by Zhao Xun. He has not yet seen the power of the forbidden soldiers, but those who have returned from overseas have endured hardships, and they will not be worse than some noble soldiers and southern soldiers in the capital, these native soldiers are recruited locally, and some of the lords even forced them to join the army to resist the invasion of Nong Zhigao. These soldiers have a good one, less burden, but poor combat effectiveness.

His eyes rolled and looked at everyone, there were still some available generals present, such as Zhang Yu, Zhao Xun, Yang Guangwen, Chong Ge, Jia Kui, he hesitated and said, "Leave a thousand people." ”

"Okay, you choose by yourself, if you have other needs, just ask, and be sure to bring more anti-malaria herbs such as Artemisia annua," Zheng Lang said. did not mention how many days Di Qing had to complete the task, this Zheng Lang did not like it, and continued to give Di Qing the maximum space to play freely.

Huang Shouling is a relative in his heart, Di Qing fought a battle, shocked Yongzhou, this murderous demon king went to Temo Village, Nong Xia Cheng was sad. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise he would have ended up with the same fate as Nong Xia Cheng.

Speaking of war, Di Qing took several generals and more than 20,000 horses, carrying the guys to the west to kill.

Zheng Lang has been sending Di Qing out of Yongzhou City, a trip to the south, Di Qing will be very hard, in fact, he is saved from being insulted by the literati, not necessarily Di Qing, there is a bit of a taste of cutting chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife, but Zheng Lang is still a little reluctant in his heart, and said: "Di Qing, remember a word when you go here, take care of yourself." ”

"Thank you Zheng Xianggong," to Zheng Lang, Di Qing will definitely not reject it.

Zheng Lang still sent a few steps, watched Di Qing get on the warship, most of these warships were built by Nong Zhigao, preparing for the second attack on Guangzhou, just came in handy, carrying the Song army up the river, going to Hengshanzhai and Wulong Prefecture, getting off the boat from Wulong Prefecture, and walking six or seven hundred miles is Temo Village.

After Lingnan, there is no difference between spring and winter, and the ice and snow in the north may not have melted, but the banks of the Yushui River are green and green, with countless wild flowers and grasses. The boat was getting farther and farther, and Zheng Lang was about to return, when suddenly his eyes were fixed on a few small grasses on the side of the road, and then he strode up and carefully identified them.
