Zhao Kuangyi still felt very depressed.

Back in Kaifeng Mansion, he picked up a fishing rod and said to Chen Congxin: "Let's go to Hezhou for a walk." ”

The two of them arrived on the river island, which was affected by the floods and rising food prices, and there were fewer tourists on the river island than in the spring. It's just a few, and the tourists are still like weaving. On the Fifth Ring Bridge, what comes to you is no longer the desolate Xihezhou before, but rows of extravagant tall buildings. Most of them were sold, including Song Jiu's three sisters, two restaurants, and an inn, and the actual profit from making shops was greater, but they didn't, so they ate their old jobs. The rest were rented out together.

Originally, it was intended to be a residential area, and many ditches and small bridges were set up, carrying countless flowers and trees, but they did not destroy them, and they built one flying building after another, covered with green trees, connected by flying tiles, and the scenery was very beautiful.

The two did not get off the bridge, they rode horses and continued to the south, from the last approach bridge to go down, the south is still an open space, in addition to flowers and trees, there is an artificial lake, the scenery is more beautiful. This is still left as a residential area, but the area has shrunk several times, leaving only a quarter of the original plan. I don't know how much a house will sell for in the future.

The houses were not built, and because of the good scenery, many tourists came here to rest.

Zhao Kuangyi put down the fishing rod and began to fish.

There were fish in the lake, but the people were forbidden to fish, and the guards saw it and hurriedly came over, ready to stop it, but when the words came to their mouths, they were so frightened that they retreated and did not dare to make a sound. Zhao Kuangyi smiled, waited for the fish to take the bait, and said to Chen Congxin: "Just now I said in the palace that Chu Zhaofu's ability is limited, and he was elected as a good official as a deputy envoy. The imperial brother said that Song Jiu could be selected, but I said it was inappropriate, and the imperial brother insisted on his own opinion. ”

"Second king, I'm afraid it's not as good as you want, Zhao Xianggong won't let Song Jiu serve as the deputy envoy of the third division." Chen Congxin said. If Song Jiu enters the Third Division, he will not be a judge, but a deputy envoy, with his ability, coupled with the contradiction between Chu Zhaofu and Zhao Pu, the Third Division will be able to break away from the control of Zhongshu. However, Chen Congxin is very pessimistic. Think it's impossible.

"You've made me take care of it. Endure it for as long as you want! ”

"The results will be immediate."

"Tell me."

"If the Chinese book cooperates, the food crisis will inevitably pass. If Zhongshu does not cooperate, it can only solve the crisis in the capital...... Northern states and counties! His Majesty couldn't see that Yao Shu's death was a private death. It's also a mistake. Let Zhao Xianggong grab the handle. But what about misleading public affairs because of selfishness? ”

"yes. I didn't think about it, but in that way, how many people would suffer. ”

"Chu Zhaofu's ability is not good. If Zhongshu doesn't cooperate, there will definitely be such a result, unless the two kings fully assist Chu Zhaofu, the two kings, can you do this? ”

"If you let that kid Song Jiu know the inside story, he will hate me to death."

"Two kings, there is light and darkness in this world, some people walk in darkness, some people walk in light, each has its own role."

"I know what I said," Zhao Kuangyi said. He didn't plan to let Song Jiu go deeper, maybe with Song Jiu's temperament, he would be disgusted and not worth it. That's good.

There are a lot of fish in the lake, and after a while, a big carp was caught, Zhao Kuangyi said: "Go to Sister Song Jiu's restaurant to get some wine and spices, and let her send another cook." ”

"Yes," Chen Congxin smiled, the second king was still unwilling, since he was against it, the emperor would reuse it, because it was troublesome for Sister Song Jiu to show the one in the palace, I believe that this matter will be spread to the palace soon. It doesn't work.

The eldest sister doesn't know what to do with all this.

She is now afraid of Zhao Pu, and she is also afraid of Zhao Kuangyi, she has always been afraid, so she had to obediently ask a cook to come over, bring seasonings and tableware, and make yusheng for Zhao Kuangyi (sashimi, one of the favorite foods of Kaifeng people in the Northern Song Dynasty, after the invasion of the Jin people and the Yuan Meng, the eating habits changed, and then gradually disappeared). Zhao Kuangyi and Chen Congxin sat by the lake, looking at the beautiful scenery, eating condiments, eating yusheng, drinking soju, and after eating, let the cook clean up, and the two swaggered back.

Zhao Kuangyin really heard it, and just smiled.

made a decree first, with Pan Yin and the two of them knowing Guangzhou, and concurrently serving as the city's shipping envoy to Guangnan, Wang Ming was transferred to the deputy envoy of Guangnan transfer, Pan Mei and Yin Chongke worked very hard in Guangnan, Zhao Kuangyin's anger gradually resolved, and everything had to be turned back on track.

But another official was set up, and Xu Jiuyan was appointed as the transfer judge. This position is similar to that of the judge of the three divisions or the general judge of the states, mainly to supervise the inventory of accounts, and if used well, it will be the helper of the transfer envoy, and if it is not used well, it will become a burden to the transfer envoy. However, with Wang Ming's prestige and ability to write and martial arts, Xu Jiuyan will not become a burden. This edict began to prepare for the transfer of Song Jiu back.

But just then, something happened.

……

Previously, Ding sent an envoy to Beijing, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't meet him at all, you are the emperor, why do you want to see me. The messenger returned to Cochin.

Pan Mei sent an envoy to Hualu City to intimidate the Ding commander, quickly remove the emperor's honorific title, and change the emperor's title to the king, otherwise our army will definitely come in person. This is a rebuke without objection. The Qin Dynasty operated Lingnan, which also included the northern part of Cochin, and expanded to the central region of Vietnam in the later Han Dynasty, encompassing three-fifths of Vietnam's land, and once expanded to Ninan County in the south of Hengshan. The main thing is too far, and it is mostly a tropical jungle area, so the Sui Dynasty withdrew its troops after destroying the Linyi State, and the Linyi State was restored. When he arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he took the initiative to become a minister, and his king also came to sing and dance for Li Shimin. So what else to fight. Therefore, the Tang realm is still dominated by Hengshan. Even in the Southern Han Dynasty, Jiaozhi still nominally belonged to the Southern Han Dynasty.

When the Central Plains was strong, the ministers were directly sent to govern, and when the power was weak, some people in Jiaozhi called the king, but no one dared to call the emperor the system.

Ding Bu Ling thought that the Song army was coming, so he immediately increased his troops in the north and stationed them, and sent scouts to inquire about the news, but he heard one thing.

Last year, the barbarians rebelled, and this year Rongzhou rebelled. Partly because of the result of Song Jiu, don't think about the area west of Guiyi, where are barbarian areas, the power is great, the traffic is backward, and it is not easy to govern, so the eyes will be on the area east of Yigui, including the south of Rongzhou to the Leizhou Peninsula and the Qinjiang Delta.

There is a reason why Song Jiu thought about it, because this is mostly a plain area.

In the past, the Central Plains Dynasty neglected Lingnan and did not develop it effectively. There are no decent seawalls, there are many typhoons, some of them are big, and they can send waves to dozens of miles of shore. Therefore, the coastal area is mostly barren and inhabited, and there are large swamps. But in fact, this is the first-class fertile land.

But there are many barbarians in this area, and there are also Han people, and the Han people are more ferocious than the barbarians, and they are all powerful landlords who do not obey the king. If you want to govern, you must rejuvenate the king. Education. Repair water conservancy roads and promote advanced production. This is obviously not possible. No money, no one!

But there is an easy way, and that is to access the road. The road is coming, and the army can easily reach it. Obey and continue to bind it. If you don't obey the army, you will come to suppress it. Build roads with prisoners. Encourage the people to build roads. Simple intent. The local barbarians can also see that they are strong, and a small number of remaining pseudo-Han officials continue to disagree and forge alliances with each other. Nearly 20,000 civilians formed a native army to participate in the rebellion. There are also several planting spots in Hezhou, and when they heard the chaos, the students fled to the city with the old farmers.

The news reached Guangzhou, and by this time Pan Mei had trained some native soldiers.

Last year, when the counterinsurgency saw the "strength" of these native soldiers, they did not take it seriously, and only sent Zhu Xian to lead the forbidden soldiers and native soldiers to Rongzhou. When the Ding Commander sent scouts to inquire about the news, the two sides were fighting. Ding Bu Ling is relieved, Guangnan has not been cured, and we are Jiaozhi.

The rebellion was quickly defeated by Zhu Xian, and this time Pan Mei did it even more ruthlessly, capturing all the families of the soldiers who participated in the rebellion into the mountains and sending them to the sea to build a seawall. It is not persecution, once the seawall is built and the fields are formed, it is far richer than in the mountains. It doesn't matter whether they are rich or poor, if they are separated from the deep mountains and old forests, these people will be able to govern. Like the Wuling area, in fact, those barbarian tribes are not strong, but because the mountains are high and the forests are lush, it is not easy to levy, and they cannot be recruited, so they cannot be forced to become kings, and then they continue to live the previous life of slash-and-burn farming.

He also forced all the prisoners of war to build roads and build a village, as long as it was a rebellion, the whole village would move to the sea or Qinjiang Bay. Some murderous things happened in the middle, but there was no way, there were less than 5,000 households in the household register in the entire Rongzhou, and a rebellion was tens of thousands. Pan Mei is in Guangzhou, if there are no these brave soldiers in the future, there will be big things. Some tribes saw that the situation was not good, and fled to the depths of the mountains. The main thing is that there is no way to communicate now, these people don't know, how much benefit can they do if they continue to be oppressed by those barbarian leaders this escape? But flee to these places, and sooner or later these tribes will disappear. Successive road construction, successive battles. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the ministries walked out of the mountains one after another to express their sincerity to the imperial court. A lot of money was spent, but since then, the area east of Guizhou, Liuzhou and Yizhou, except for the depths of Wuling, is basically under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Because of the inventory of many barbarian departments, the household department of Quang Nam has also become more than 21 households, an increase of more than 30,000 households.

The process was very long, lasting only about 20 days to counter the rebellion, but after the war it lasted for several months, and all of it was spent on road construction and relocation. Most of the rebellious tribes moved out, and the main roads were built. Only then did the Song army end the expedition. Then an army of 5,000 soldiers composed of forbidden soldiers and native soldiers slowly arrived at Taipingzhai. Ding Bu Ling panicked at this time, and while sending people to ask for peace, he again mobilized troops to be stationed at the border. The Song army also transferred some sea vessels to the Baiteng River.

Ding led the Song army to follow, so he set up another defense line on the Baiteng River and laid a wooden stake.

But it is not the Baiteng River at all, the reason why the Southern Han Dynasty sent the navy to enter the Baiteng River when attacking Jiaozhi was because the original city of Jiaozhi was on the side of the Baiteng River, it was a big river in the north of the Fuliang River, but it was much smaller than the Fuliang River, and there was a Fuliang River in the middle reaches of the river, and the ancient city of Jiaozhi was in the southwest of the junction of the Baiteng River and the river. Therefore, the Baiteng River is large at the beginning, but it is still not very large, and the water flow and river surface are similar to those of the Qinjiang River, which is easy to ambush.

The Southern Han Dynasty was defeated, and later the Yuan Dynasty returned, when the capital of Jiaozhi was moved to Hanoi. It can be entered from the Fuliang River, but it is too far away from the army, and at that time Cochin is not the current Cochin, and it has been a system and country for a long time, and its strength is strong. It seems that the army can't be divided too far, so it is here again that there is a crushing defeat.

However, at this time, the Dinh Dynasty could not be called a country, and even the Lang Son region had not yet been collected. Its main extent lies in the two deltas of the Baiteng River and the Furajiang River. The Song army slowly advanced south and reached Lang Son. Langshan beings are barbaric and watch from the wall.

The two armies began to fight.

It was personally commanded by Yin Chongke.

It's not easy to say that the morale of Jiaozhi is not very good, there are those who are not afraid of death, and there are those who are afraid. Don't look at the small number of people, Pan Mei did not have many people entering Lingnan, but the Song army killed more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Han Dynasty. The morale of the Song army was high, including the native soldiers.

After more than a year, Guangnan's finances began to improve, and several bigwigs wanted to make meritorious contributions to go back, but they continued to invest, although they got better, they couldn't hand over much, and they continued to work hard. However, the lives of the people are indeed changing, and various benevolent governments have also brought the people to their hearts. This is the will of the people, this is the morale. That's not enough, it's mainly the manager's commanding ability. Moreover, after more than half a year of careful preparation, this southern expedition took advantage of the opportunity of trade between the two countries to send scouts disguised as merchants, and almost explored the terrain of the main roads, mountains, rivers, and rivers clearly. Far from the blind campaign of the Southern Han Dynasty.

After several battles, the Ding Dynasty was defeated one after another, killing and capturing as many as seven or eight thousand men and horses. Ding Buling was even more afraid, and almost mobilized his troops and moved to the north. Then use the terrain to build a cottage defense.

Ding Bu Ling has not yet realized the strength of his opponent. Even Song Jiu suspected that even if he gave Pan Mei a wrong strategy, it would become a seamless plan in his hands. The two armies held each other in Langshan, Pan Mei did not plan to surprise the troops, there were ships on Qiongzhou Island, they were civilian ships, ready to load property, and the warships gathered together at the mouth of the Baiteng River, and still sent small boats to transfer the hidden piles. Wait until the scouts say that the rear forces of Jiaozhi are completely empty. Only then did the Song army suddenly get on board and head south to the Fuliang River. It was August, when the water level of the river was high and the tide was large, and it sailed towards the mouth of the Dunjiang River with the tide. Commander Ding hurriedly ordered the rear from the front line to mobilize the people in the rear to prepare for hidden piles and ambushes at the Dunhe River. The striker Li Chao led people to suddenly kill from a dozen camouflaged small merchant ships.

He fought fiercely in front, and the big ships slowly arrived behind. A large army was handed over to Wang Ming and stationed on the north bank of the Fuliang River, as long as the Jiaozhi army returned, Wang Ming and Yin Chongke could attack from the north and south, and even the Ding Dynasty would be destroyed, and the rest would be killed along the Dun River to Hualu City. Hualu City was an empty city at this time, and when it saw the arrival of the Song army, the city surrendered.

Then Wang Ming and Yin Chongke looked at the Ding Dynasty army in the south and the north, preparing to make dumplings. Pan Mei and Song Jiu gathered all the Jiaozhi ships in the rear with soldiers and horses, and the large and small ships of Guangnan also came over and began to load goods and people.

Quang Nam is short of money and people, and there is no labor, so it still cannot be developed. A shipload of supplies and civilians were escorted to Guangzhou or Leizhou, Qiongzhou and Qinzhou, Wang Ming to the north, Yin Chongke to the south, and the two armies continued to press when the Jiaozhi army was disheartened. Seeing that something was wrong, Ding Buling fled to the west with his cronies. However, the losses of the Song army were not small, and the successive battles sacrificed many soldiers, and many mountainous and tropical rainforest areas still could not be conquered, and the cost of conquering them was too great. And the more sacrifices in the future, only to begin to be caught off guard, the Song army was successful, after Ding Buling fled to the mountains, he unified Jiaozhi over the years, ended the situation of endless war, and some policies were quite popular. Therefore, some civilians took advantage of the difficult terrain and began to organize primitive guerrilla tactics. The large group of enemies was not very worried, but this small group of enemies gave Pan Mei a headache.

Ding Bu Ling took the opportunity to send an envoy to send a letter of surrender, and from then on he bowed his head and surrendered, but he himself did not go out of the mountains and forests to ask for surrender. Pan Meisi paid for a long time, and sighed after the last: "I don't want to do Gao Xianzhi's act of deposing the army in the river and destroying the national government. (To be continued......)
