The ancients often said that the North Di Nanban, the West Rong Dongyi, probably said that in addition to the Central Plains, the rest of the place is a savage, this savage has some derogatory meaning, but it is not that they Ru 'Mao' drink blood, just that they did not accept the sinicization of the Central Plains, and they are more ferocious and backward.

The Nanban here, the pan-guide area, and even include some areas of Hunan and Hubei, as for the Guangnan West Road, which was later Guangxi, it is the absolute Nanban region.

As in other places, the local aborigines of this Nanban are also divided into raw barbarians and mature barbarians, the so-called mature barbarians are the native barbarians who accepted the imperial court settlement, had frequent and close contacts with the Han people, and gradually adopted the culture and way of life of the Han people.

The barbarians are those primitive barbarians who are still unwilling to abandon the old habits and beliefs, etc., and still retain their national characteristics and personal beliefs.

From the perspective of a local official, to put it simply, then the familiar man is the one who can reason with him, and the raw man is better not to be reasonable, or even to stay away from it as much as possible.

As the prefect of Jingjiang, Uncle Wu Bai is also anxious at the moment.

This Jingjiang Mansion is later Guilin, originally only the Jingjiang Army, because the Southern Song Dynasty Gaozong Zhao Gou had led the Jingjiang Festival envoy, after ascending the throne, Jingjiang was changed into a mansion.

The landscape of Guilin has been a fairyland on earth since ancient times, and it is also the land of Longxing, which is the most prosperous place on Guangnan West Road.

Although the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, the imperial court's control of the place is also open and closed, coupled with the placement of barbarians, people will make some articles on the acres of land, and there will be a lot of oil and water to fish.

However, Uncle Wu Bai is still a good official, not that he is not greedy for money, but he has a long-term vision than others, and he knows that if these barbarians are oppressed too tightly, if these barbarians with strong folk customs riot, he will not be able to suppress them.

So it's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare.

didn't make much oil and water in office, of course, this is also relative, for officials in other places, Uncle Wu Bai has also had a lot of money in recent years.

Seeing that he is about to step down, according to his qualifications, he should also go to Lin'an to be a dispensable Beijing official, hoping that one day he will be able to survive until he enters the cabinet.

But at this time, the 'Meng' ancients were about to fight!

He made a letter to the imperial court early, hoping that he could step down as soon as possible, and if he didn't enter Beijing, he wouldn't worry, and he would stay away from this mess.

However, the imperial court did not let him go, and now that the army is marching south, the local government must cooperate, if there is a new official, he is even less familiar with local affairs than Uncle Wu Bai, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

So Uncle Wu Bai had no choice but to stay in office, and extend his term of office until the end of the Southern Expedition, of course, if he behaves well, it will naturally be a great achievement, and when he enters Beijing in the future, the capital will be more sufficient, and he doesn't even need to boil up his qualifications, everything has advantages and disadvantages, but Uncle Wu Bai does not have much ambition, so he is very resistant to this matter.

It is said that the army has not moved the grain and grass first, the Southern Expeditionary Army is about to arrive, and the people of Cao Si have entered Jingjiang Mansion early, and they can't 'force' others to do so, so they can only urge Uncle Wu Bai to solve the problem of grain and grass as soon as possible.

Li Tingzhi and others in the north continued to go north, and the resources of the imperial court were transferred to the north, and the south was naturally a little stretched, and they could only search for places.

Uncle Wu Bai did not dare to loot in the local area, for fear of causing a civil uprising, but now because of the invasion of the 'Mongolian' ancients, he had to put the burden on the local officials at all levels.

These officials are not as far-sighted as Uncle Wu Bai, they have been squeezing and looting the local people on weekdays, and now they are urging to 'force' the local people, the fierce local people have begun to form secret societies, and there have been many conflicts in various places, if it continues like this, the Southern Expeditionary Army has not yet arrived, I am afraid that the entire Guangnan West Road will be 'chaotic'!

Moreover, the supervising army of this southern expedition is Jia Yidao, who dares to provoke him, if the grain and grass cannot be prepared on time, Uncle Wu Bai said slowly that he will not be able to leave his post smoothly, but he is afraid that he will not be able to keep his head!

Uncle Wu Bai was already in a hurry, so he had to abandon the car to protect the handsome, investigate and deal with several counties under him, and use the income from the house to fill the gap in grain and grass.

It's just that although these magistrates have a very 'fat' family background, they can only be a drop in the bucket for the grain and grass in the south.

Uncle Wu Bai has already burned his eyebrows, and at this time, it is even worse, and the barbarian soldiers such as the Miao people and the Dong people in the southwest Qiangui area have begun to assemble and continue to migrate to the west side of Guangnan Road!

There are also a lot of Miao people and Dong people on this side of Guangnan West Road, but most of them are Zhuang people, and there are many Yao people, among which the most ferocious is the black-clothed Zhuang, the wolf soldiers of Guangxi, that is, the world-famous rattan soldiers, etc., are mostly Zhuang people!

In order to manage the localities, the government recruited these black-clothed strongmen on weekdays, formed local regiments to train their arms, and used local ruthless people to govern local ruthless people, and ruled barbarians with barbarians, and the results were quite remarkable.

However, the government oppressed the local government too tightly, and these barbarians chose to protect the local people in the face of major rights and wrongs, rather than helping the government to abuse them.

These days, Uncle Wu Bai is so anxious that the corners of his mouth are blistering, the Southern Expeditionary Army has not yet arrived, and it has become a pot of porridge here.

If this Marquis Yang comes and finds that Guangxi is not calm at all, he, the prefect, will suffer!

This morning, someone came to report that the Miao people and Dong people who came from Qiangui in the southwest were about five or six thousand people, and they were not ordinary homeless people, but armed barbarian soldiers, and they had begun to contact the Zhuang people in the territory of Guangnan West Road, and they were afraid that they would join forces!

Uncle Wu Bai was also horrified when he received such an urgent report, but he didn't dare to report it to the top, and now he sent someone to suppress or appease him, but there was still a place to maneuver, but if he reported it directly, the court would blame him, and he couldn't afford to bear it!

After all, he is a timid and afraid of things, but when things come to an end, fear can't solve the problem, even if the court does not oppress, he has to contribute, after all, if the 'Mongolian' ancients come over, Guangnan West Road will suffer, and his family is here!

After suppressing the panic in his heart, Uncle Wu Bai finally accepted the suggestion of the dog-headed master and decided to personally go to meet the chiefs of the southwest of Qiangui for a while to listen to their intentions and demands.

If they can be sent out, these Zhuang barbarians inside Guangnan West Road will be easy to survive.

At the beginning, Dayue, that is, the group of monkeys in Annan, constantly attacked the West Guangnan Road and defeated Yongzhou, and it was the imperial court that placed a lot of troops on the West Guangnan Road.

Although the two sides have experienced constant friction over the past few decades, the combat effectiveness of the Guangnan West Road army has not been lost, and it will never be as useless as those forbidden armies.

But he couldn't ask the imperial court to transfer these troops to help him suppress the bandits before the arrival of the Southern Expeditionary Army, which was simply asking for his own hardship!

With these calculations, he can only bite the bullet, no matter how brave he is!

Uncle Wu Bai didn't sleep all night, so he made such a big determination, but he still dragged it out until the third pole of the sun, and then he took his master and several long-term followers with good martial arts, and planned to go out to negotiate.

But as soon as he got into the carriage, the 'doorman' hurried over and reported to him.

"Master, there are two people outside, saying that they have something important to ask to see the master..."

Uncle Wu Bai couldn't help but get irritable, waved his hand at the 'door' and said: "You are also the old manager of the house, why don't you even understand this, when is this, the fire is burning to the eyebrows', this official is going to save the people on this side, where do you have to see anyone, hurry up and send it away!"

The old 'doorman' was scolded and couldn't hold back his face, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said to Uncle Wu Bai.

"Master, those two people said, they... They came to deliver a message to the master on behalf of Marquis Yang..."

"It's all at this juncture, whether he's a marquis or not... Father... What are you talking about? Is it Yang Hou Ye? Jingxi Hou Yang Jing Yang Hou Ye's people?"

Uncle Wu Bai hurriedly stopped his steps, his face changed greatly, and he grabbed the shoulder of the 'door' and said.

"Exactly!"

"Quick, get them in!"

"Yes..."

"Why are you still stunned, give me some money!"

"Yes!"

"Oh, no! wait, the official will personally go out to the 'door' to greet him!"

Uncle Wu Bai shook his head when he saw that the master was silent, and immediately came to his senses, stopped the 'door', and came to the middle 'gate'.

The envoy of the house had already opened the middle 'door', Uncle Wu Bai sorted out his official uniform, and walked out of the 'door', but the person he saw was only a 'woman' wearing a blue 'color' Miao suit, and a thin boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

Yang Jinggui is a marquis, and the people around him shouldn't be so shabby, could it be that these two people are liars?

If this is the case, he Uncle Wu Bai will not follow, and he will have to deal with these two people fiercely!

"This official is Uncle Wu Bai, the prefect of Jingjiang, I don't know who the two of them are Yang Hou Ye, and what important things do Hou Ye need to instruct this official?"

If it is an ordinary marquis, he can't control the local government, although the Great Song Dynasty treats these nobles preferentially, he will never let them touch the real power.

But Yang Jing is the only one who scorpion, not only the noble Hou Ye, but also the commander of this southern expedition, nominally even more difficult to mess with than Jia Yidao!

Moreover, news kept coming from Hangzhou, it is said that this Marquis Yang Jing is still a great god, and even those barbarians in the mountains who are closed to news have heard of his deeds!

Uncle Wu Bai had naturally heard of it, otherwise he would not have come out to greet him in person, so it can be seen that the outfits of these two people are a bit judging by their appearance in the bottom of their hearts.

The 'woman' looked good, but she was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and although the thin boy was only twelve or thirteen, dark and short, there was a kind of maturity and stability in his eyes that transcended his age.

Sure enough, the 'woman' just stood silently behind her, but it was the little man who spoke.

"It turned out to be the presence of the Wu Governor's Mansion, and his late name was Yang Ainan, and today I came to help my father bring two sentences to Master Wu. ”

Uncle Wu Bai is not a stupid thing, the title of this late birth is not something that can be called casually, Uncle Wu Bai is a serious Jinshi, this kid wants to call himself a late generation, he must also be a serious scholar.

Yang Ainan is partial and calm, it doesn't seem to be a lie, after all, he also has confidence in his heart, Dong Huai wanted to give Yang Jing a place in the Guozi Prison earlier, but Yang Jing did not accept it, but later after taking Yang Ainan back, he let him go to study in the Guozi Prison.

But Yang Ainan is too young after all, and he is dark and short, so he doesn't look like a scholar at all, so Uncle Wu Bai naturally wants to be suspicious.

It's just that the master's face has changed greatly, because Uncle Wu Bai didn't hear it clearly, but he, the master, heard it clearly!

The 'door' Zi Shi just said that it was Yang Houye's people who came to pass the word, and this young man actually claimed to be a messenger to his father, that is to say, this son is Yang Jing's son!

The master hurriedly whispered a reminder in Uncle Wu Bai's ear, but Uncle Wu Bai's brows furrowed, and he snorted coldly at Yang Ainan.

"This official heard that Marquis Yang is only in his twenties, and he has not married a wife, let alone has no heirs, what kind of barbarian is you, who dares to come to this official to swagger and deceive!"

Uncle Wu Bai already suspected that Yang Ainan was not a scholar, looking at this 'woman' and Yang Ainan, and wearing Miao clothes, and now hearing him claim to be Yang Jing's son, this is too fake!

"Someone, arrest me!"
