Chapter 28: By the way
Jianning County, in fact, used to be called Yizhou County, but when Liu Xuan ascended the throne, he directly changed the name of the rearrangement of the state-to-county across the country, because Yizhou Yizhou County, he looked too disturbed, and it was really easy to get dizzy.
The territory of Jianning County is very large, and it even directly includes many places occupied by the Nanban - because for a long time, the Nanban has been completely dependent on the Han Dynasty, but in recent years it has begun to make trouble again.
In this case, a trustworthy general is needed to sit in Jianning, and if the Nanban is ruthless, he must lead the troops to teach a lesson to ensure that the rule of the imperial court over Yizhou will not be shaken.
In the past few years, Zhang He's large and small battle formations have fought dozens of times, and the best one is to lead 3,000 troops south to deal with the rioting Nanban tribes, beheading more than 5,000, capturing 1,000 alive and killing the head of the thief, making Zhang He's name powerful in Yunnan - Liu Xuan turned the place further south of Jianning into Yunnan, but in fact, this Yunnan region is not the same as the later Yunnan, and it is more southern.
And the person who frightened the entire Nanban people, of course Zhu Rong knew, but the scene in front of her made her a little confused about the situation, because the killing god who killed the Nanban tribes who cried and shouted actually respectfully saluted the young man who had captured him, and waited for him to sit down before he was sideways.
"Who is this man?"
As soon as this thought flashed through his head, Liu Xuan turned his head and smiled at her: "Curious what my identity is, isn't it? You'll find out soon!"
This trip can be said to have achieved its purpose perfectly.
I went out to relax, and I saw the work conditions of the grassroots officials - bullying men and women, bullying others, etc., although it is possible that I did not encounter it, but after walking so many places, in general, the situation of the Han is still very good, even the officials at the bottom are faithfully implementing the decrees of the imperial court. It's enough to be sure of that.
At the same time, his sister's lifelong events have also been settled - Ma Chao is the best choice both in terms of background and his own strength. Marrying the princess of Dahan is not a disadvantage to his own sister.
In addition, Ma Chao has been busy with the military over the years. There is really no marriage, which can be regarded as a solution to a problem. However, his younger brothers have already married wives one after another - because Ma Chao's two younger brothers are not as talented as his brothers, and Ma Chao doesn't know how far these two younger brothers will end up, so he advises them not to marry like himself. In case of an accident, there is not even a descendant left.
Of course, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu disagreed. and retort: "My brother has been fighting abroad for many years, so there will be no accidents?" It's not good, but it's true...... A general who is fighting outside. Who dares to say that he has won every battle? When an accident really happens, I am afraid that he will not even have a chance to arrange the aftermath.
But Ma Chao said: "If you two can catch me undefeated in twenty moves, then I didn't say anything!" and the final result was...... Ma Chao cleaned up his two younger brothers without ten moves. So the two had to obediently marry their wives, and Ma Chao was happy by himself.
But now the situation is different, the big man will not start any big war in a short time, Ma Chao looked at his younger brother who was comfortable living a small life all day, and he was a little depressed in his heart, and he happened to be called by the Son of Heaven to accompany him on the trip at this time. directly looked at Liu Zi.
In a word...... This pair of men and women is also just in time.
And after solving Liu Zi's big thing, the rest of the thing is to see what kind of character Zhu Rong is. If it's really good, then it's not bad to grab it back.
The unexpected situation was that as soon as he entered the realm of Nanban, he was ambushed, and it was none other than Zhu Rong who Liu Xuan targeted.
"This ...... It's a pie in the sky, right?"..., these things went unexpectedly smoothly, the only thing that didn't go well was Lu Lingqi's problem, this girl really didn't seem to be interested in men and women, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, the two handsome guys, didn't show any abnormality.
Cai Yan and Diao Chan asked sideways, but they didn't expect that what this girl was thinking about in her head was something like 'opening up the territory and expanding the territory, so that her father's prestige would never fall', as if she didn't have the concept of marriage in her head.
After thinking about it, Liu Xuan felt that it was better to let this matter be, Lu Lingqi is now the same as the career-oriented strong woman in the future, but she is better than those people because she doesn't have to worry about her getting old, maybe one day she will suddenly open her mind!
"Don't worry about it, just let her go!"
Diao Chan also leaned over and asked, "Your Majesty really doesn't care?"
Of course, he saw what Diao Chan meant by asking, and waved his hand with a smile: "No matter what, don't mess around!"
It's not that he hates Lu Lingqi, but since Lu Lingqi has his own ideas, and it's on his side, it doesn't matter if he supports it.
If it was like Zhurong, he wouldn't be polite: if you like it, grab it, whatever you think!
"You are the Emperor of the Great Han?"
There was no cover-up in the conversation with Zhang He, so Zhu Rong next to her quickly figured out Liu Xuan's identity, and at first she was stunned for a while, looking incredulous.
"Impossible, right?"
Even if the Southern Barbarians did not fully understand the customs of the Han people, they knew what kind of existence the Han Emperor was, that is, the people who ruled the most vast and rich region in the world, and the people under his rule were tens of millions.
With such an existence, why did you go to the land of the Southern Barbarians if you have nothing to do?
If someone told her that the emperor of the Han Dynasty went to Nanban to arrest her, it is estimated that even if Zhu Rong has confidence in his appearance, he will not believe this kind of words, because it is too incredible.
But in fact, that's exactly what happened.
And Liu Xuan didn't hide it at all, when Zhang He asked the Son of Heaven why he came to Jianning, Liu Xuan casually pointed to Zhu Rong, who was tied up and couldn't move: "I accidentally heard the name of this woman, so I wanted to come and see it!
Compared with Ma Chao and Zhao Yun's psychological preparations, Lu Lingqi's 'already known', and the snickering of several mothers, Zhang He's reaction was quite interesting.
The corners of his mouth twitched, the muscles of his cheeks trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it after opening his mouth.
The Son of Heaven went to the danger for a barbarian woman, and then went to snatch this woman back!
"Where is this Son of Heaven? It's just like a bandit leader!"
But can you say this? Zhang He is not brain-dead, and he will never say such a thing! More importantly, he will never say such a thing. What the Son of Heaven has done over the years has indeed made the Han Dynasty that is about to collapse rise again, such a promising king. It's also tolerable to do some nonsense - anyway, the Son of Heaven doesn't mess around in big things.
So I thought about it for a while. Zhang He didn't make any comments in the end, but Zhu Rong on the side couldn't sit still, and there was a sense of confusion that he didn't know whether to be happy or to cry.
As a woman, it is inevitable to feel happy to be held so seriously. But if this person uses a bit of a domineering method and is difficult to accept, he will be more depressed, not to mention the Han Emperor who is currently in a state of hostility with Nanban?
Should she rebel, or should she rebel?
I kept circulating this thought in my head. But it can't really be implemented every time - there are reasons for the current situation, and there is also a little bit of tangled thoughts. ...,
Of course, if Liu Xuan simply wants to use strong. Zhu Rong is afraid that he will resist to the end. But Liu Xuan is not really a bandit leader, and taking a fancy to Zhu Rong means that he has to bring him back to the palace and live with a few of his own women.
Although Zhu Rong can't beat anyone, it's always bad to make trouble, so she still has to use some means to make her serve herself willingly.
Like what...... Give Zhu Rong's considerable benefits.
I said it a long time ago. The Nanban was not monolithic, and later the Nanban king Meng Shu also integrated several Nanban tribes south of Jianning because of his personal prestige and force.
Thereinto. Including Zhu Rong's!
In a certain aspect, Zhurong is not a person's name, but the name of a tribe, and only the patriarch of the tribe can use Zhurong as the name to represent this clan.
This is the case in front of him, but the young girl served as the patriarch, in addition to showing Zhu Rong's excellence, it also objectively reflected the embarrassment of this tribe, so later Zhu Rong and Meng Shu were mixed together, and there was also some meaning of unity.
But now Liu Xuan has given this tribe a new choice - to completely submit to the Han Dynasty! The Han Dynasty will not take any special treatment against it, but it is precisely that they will not be treated specially, and they can enjoy everything that the people of the Han can enjoy within the territory of the Han Dynasty.
This includes various support policies for ordinary people - for example, if the land is to be cultivated, the local county government will provide tools and seeds, and even provide cattle and other livestock to help the farmer find suitable land.
To be raised, livestock cubs will also be provided to help them build a qualified farm.
Or if you want to do something else, the local officials will help, and these treatments are not what the current Zhurong clan can enjoy - because when Liu Xuan ascended the throne, they were already in a fuss, and later after recovering Yizhou, the Nanban and the Han were also in a state of confrontation, they did not think that they were the people of the Han Dynasty, so the Han court naturally had no need to be polite to them: fight when they should be beaten, and kill when they should be killed!
The place where Zhu Rong lives is very close to Jianning, and even some people in the tribe live in the territory of Jianning County, and the impact is very serious, otherwise there would not be Zhu Rong who took over as the patriarch at a young age.
In short, if you use all kinds of benefits to draw Zhu Rong to your side, then there is no reason for Zhu Rong in front of him to maintain such serious hostility towards the big man.
These words, Liu Xuan said to Zhu Rong on the spot, with Zhang He on the side, he can be said to be 'well aware' of the situation in Nanban, even if he doesn't know, Zhang He will supplement it in a very timely manner, so at this glance, Zhu Rong has no possibility of escaping from his palm at all.
"Your Majesty doesn't know how to answer what that girl said!"
Zhen Mi kept her mouth shut and didn't speak, and after looking at it for a while, she had already seen that the barbarian woman named Zhu Rong was afraid that it would be impossible to escape from the palm of the Son of Heaven, although she didn't nod, but Zhen Mi's understanding of Liu Xuan could completely speculate the later results - whether Zhu Rong understood or not, Liu Xuan didn't care, anyway, as long as Zhu Rong didn't make trouble, then he would continue to do these things one by one, and when Zhu Rong saw the good treatment suffered by his people, the defense line in his heart was slowly dismantled.
In fact, among Liu Xuan's women, Zhen Mi and Huang Yueying were all caught by him in this way - they were still a little hesitant at the beginning, but slowly, they forgot about the original hesitation.
Sure enough, after Liu Xuan finished speaking, he directly ordered Zhang He: "Send an envoy to the Zhurong tribe tomorrow." Tell them that Zhu Rong dedicated himself to the Great Han in exchange for the Great Han's acceptance of the Zhu Rong clan!"
If it is said that at the beginning, Zhang He still ran all the way to the Son of Heaven. If you are dissatisfied just to catch a woman. By this time, this dissatisfaction had also disappeared. ..., he felt that the Son of Heaven was not here simply for a woman, but to solve the Nanban problem that had plagued the southwest for many years.
Winning over the Zhurong clan is to divide the Nanban tribe from the inside. With Zhang He's understanding of the Nanban tribe, it is difficult to say about the others. But once these nearby families see that Zhu Rong's life has been drastically improved, they will definitely think about it.
Then he can directly disintegrate the trust between the Nanban tribes, and he can continue to divide and win them over. Then resolutely crack down on some die-hards.
Those who can absorb both soft and hard will be included in the rule of the Han Dynasty. And those who do not obey will die in the blows again and again, and even if they do not die, they will not be able to continue to pose a threat to the Han - none of the Nanban forces can confront the Han, they rely on all kinds of strange and complex terrain and their familiarity with the local area.
There are also several families who unite to support each other, but if they fight separately, even if they have geographical advantages, they can't escape a dead word.
"The Son of Heaven is indeed a generation of wise lords!"
Zhang Hele went to arrange it. Liu Xuan looked at him like this, and asked Lu Lingqi next to him with a strange expression: "Is there a misunderstanding?"
Lu Lingqi has been by her side. followed Liu Xuan all the way, plus she knew some things that Zhang He didn't know, and watched the whole process from a completely objective standpoint, so she knew what Zhang He wanted to crookedly.
Zhang He thought that the Son of Heaven was for the overall situation of the southwest, but in fact, he ...... The Son of Heaven is here for this woman, but those miscellaneous things are just incidental.
The emperor, who traveled thousands of miles for the sake of women and used robbery methods, no matter how you look at it, can't connect with the wise and martial son of heaven that his father said.
Especially when his father wanted to marry himself into the palace, this time Lu Lingqi became more and more unhappy, although she still maintained respect for the Son of Heaven, but her deliberate posture of keeping a distance was not concealed at all.
Liu Xuan didn't know about Lu Lingqi's psychological changes, but instead looked down at Zhu Rong again.
"You may be hesitating, but I can tell you...... Don't think about it, you can only accept this choice!"
With a wave of her hand, Lu Lingqi next to her went directly over and untied the rope on Zhu Rong's body, she was not worried that Zhu Rong would come up with any means, all the weapons on her body were confiscated, and she wanted to threaten everyone in the hall with her fists and feet?
Mo said that he and Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were generals, even those girls were not characters who could deal with anyone casually...... Look, you're suffering, aren't you?
After all, Zhu Rong was unwilling to be decided on her future like this, so after untying the rope, she saw that she had long been defined as: a weak and vulnerable little girl!
And the little girl who was almost powerless by her, and even sure that she was frightened by herself, unhurriedly put on a posture, and then raised her hand and directly slapped away her fierce grasp, and at the same time, with a flip of her palm, the porcelain-like scenery of the little hand directly grabbed her arm.
Feeling that his arm seemed to be clamped by a few iron bars, he couldn't move, and Zhu Rong was surprised and understood that he was looking away.
But Xiao Qiao didn't care about it so much, when Zhu Rong rushed up, she knew that she was underestimated, and she was angry and felt interesting and exciting at the same time, and almost instantly made the most ferocious response.
While grabbing Zhu Rong, a whip leg directly swept towards Zhu Rong's ankle - this leg sweep directly knocked Zhu Rong into the air, and his whole body was sideways in the air.
Letting go of the arm he had been holding, Xiao Qiao smiled and jumped slightly, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Ahh
The straight right leg was picked up from the side like a battle axe, and then directly slashed down fiercely, slashing Zhu Rong in mid-air directly to the ground, making a dull sound. ..., the ferocious slash and the impact force generated by the rapid fall to the ground made Zhu Rong dizzy and didn't get up for a long time, this is still Xiao Qiao's strength, knowing that this is the woman His Majesty has a crush on, it is not good to use heavy hands to do this, otherwise if Xiao Qiao is allowed to exert all his strength, even if he does not die, he will be seriously injured.
Although there is no rope to bind, Zhu Rong now knows how powerful, and there is no such thing as 'taking hostages' anymore.
What's more, she is in pain all over her body now, and she can't do anything threatening at all.
Liu Xuan just watched all this happen, and waited for everything to calm down before he got up and reached out and touched Xiao Qiao's hair: "I learned it from Yueying just now, right?
smiled embarrassedly, Xiao Qiao just thought it was fun and learned it, and didn't think about it so much, since Liu Xuan said don't learn it, then don't learn it.
looked at Zhu Rong, who was lying on the ground and barely looked at him with his spare eyes, this look seemed a little pitiful?
"Got it, you have no other choice, just go with me!"
Depressed, breathless, unwilling and other moods filled Zhu Rong's chest for a moment, but he was helpless, and finally closed his eyes, and simply came out of sight and out of mind, as if he didn't look at Liu Xuan, all this had never happened.
Seeing her like this, Liu Xuan knew that Zhu Rong had already taken it, and she had given up resistance.
"The goal has been achieved, let's go back to Luoyang!"
