At the beginning of March, the Taishou of Guiyang County reported that there were barbarians in the area under his jurisdiction who rebelled.

Guiyang County belonged to the southernmost part of Jingzhou, which was later known as Chenzhou City, Hunan Province.

In the north of the Great Sui, in the eyes of the big families with Guanzhong and the Central Plains as the core, Hunan is the place where barbarians are produced, even if later generations have the nickname "Hunan barbarians", but the barbarians at that time refer more to a spirit of struggle, aggressiveness, pursuit of truth, and courage to sacrifice, which is praised.

But in the Great Sui, it is purely derogatory, the kind that is degraded to the home.

The barbarians of Guiyang, called Guiyang Man, are the ancestors of the Yao people.

The Jingzhou under Yang Ming's jurisdiction is half of Hubei, half of Hunan, and the entire territory of Hunan is full of barbarians.

Mainly Lingyangman, Changsha Man, Wuling Man, Xiangzhou Man, Lingling Man, Hengyang Man, etc., they are the ancestors of Tujia, Miao, Yao, Dong and other ethnic minorities.

It's still in the semi-civilized stage, and it's hard to mess with.

Whether it was the old Chen, the old Liang, or the current Great Sui, they all actively encouraged the Han people to enter the barbarian area to farm and work, so as to promote the integration between the Han and the barbarians, including the exile of criminals, and they were also concentrated in the area where the barbarians were located.

Actually, it didn't work.

At present, Hermes-Epitek is only concentrated in the county seat and township, and most of the remaining areas are barbarian.

In the face of the barbarian rebellion, how to deal with it? There is only one way, and that is to hurt him.

Barbarian barbarians, barbaric and vulgar, the barbarian area popular step-marriage system, that is: "where the brother dies to accept the sister-in-law, the younger brother dies to accept the younger brother-in-law", which was denounced by the Han people as "filthy Yin steaming newspaper", which is despised.

In fact, it is the process of civilization, which is much slower than that of the north, and later after the great integration of nationalities, everyone is the same thing.

But the current Great Sui can't be integrated, because the concepts are different, the language is different, and the living habits are different, which also causes inevitable conflicts.

These people don't pay taxes, they basically belong to my territory, and I am the king of the mountain, a cottage and a mountain king.

There is intermarriage between cottages and cottages, and in order to avoid marriage between close relatives, offspring with physical defects are born.

As a result, the intermarriage between several villages will form a greater mountain king.

This time, the barbarians of Guiyang County rebelled from several barbarian villages in the mountains around Linwu County, and they came down the mountain to grab grain.

The grain is in the granary of the county seat, and they rob the granary, isn't it a rebellion? What's more, he killed dozens of civilians and ran away after grabbing food.

Barbarians live in the mountains and dense forests, living in groups of villages and cottages, and once you get into the mountains, you really can't find them.

Therefore, barbarians have always rebelled, first looking at the scale, more than 3,000 people, will be dispatched to kill the army, no more than 3,000, generally do not care.

Because it's hard to crack.

And the barbarians who entered the county town to loot grain this time were only a thousand people, and they were not within the scope of sending troops.

The Great Sui Military Government, the north accounts for two-thirds, the entire south is only one-third, the southern government army is very small, if Yang Ming wants to exterminate this gang of barbarians, he has to transfer troops from the north of Jingzhou, the cost is very high, not cost-effective.

Yuan Wendu and Pang Niu did not recommend suppression, because in their opinion, the loss this time was not big, because there was not much grain in the official warehouse in Linwu County, and most of the grain was transported to the big warehouse in Jiangling and Jiangxia as early as the end of last year.

Therefore, this rebellion was also defined as a riot, and since it was a riot, there was no need to report it to the imperial court.

More things are better than less, and the things in the north of Jingzhou haven't been dealt with yet.

Of course, Yang Ming would not ignore the problem of Nanban, but at the moment, there is really no good way, and the problems that the elders of the Great Sui Center can't solve, of course he can't either.

What's more, there are more and more water bandits in the Yangtze River, Hanshui, Honghu, and Dongting areas this year.

Because Yang Ming began this year, he did not allow the military government to send troops to suppress the bandits, and deliberately released water to raise fish, so that the water bandits did not have the threat of government soldiers, and they raged and spread to all rivers in Jingzhou, and the business travel was miserable.

This night, after Yuan Wendu sent away Cheng Xiaoxuan of Jiangling County, he came to the inner garden to see Yang Ming:

"The man is gone, and he sent one

He complained about the refusal of the military government to suppress the bandits, so that his fleet suffered a lot of losses."

Xiao Xuan was born in the Xiao family of Lanling, and hung up a county in Jiangling County to eat empty salaries, relying on his grandfather Xiao and his mother who had adopted Yang Ming, and he was very good in Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

Yang Ming ate dinner and said with a smile: "The family is a big business, it won't hurt his muscles and bones, if he comes again, he will send it away."

"Understood,"

After Yuan Wen left, Yang Yinjiang asked curiously:

"Why don't you send troops?"

Yang Ming smiled, "Wait a little longer."

"Do you wait for the sheep to be fattened before slaughtering?"

Pei Shuying said a word, and Yang Yinjiang suddenly realized: "This method is not bad? I can make up for the salary of the school guard."

Pei Shuying, who was on the side, pouted and said: "It must not be that simple, this method of making money is a bit inferior, and it is very easy to be recognized, which will lead to the complaining of His Royal Highness about the water and fish farming, Caoyun has official transportation and civil transportation, and the official transportation is under the management of the Ministry of Water, one of the four divisions of the Ministry of Industry, and now the boats of the Ministry of Water have been robbed, if they poke things up, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to His Highness."

Saying that, Pei Shuying looked at Yang Ming and said, "You should understand this, so you must still be holding back other bad things."

"That's it," Yang Yinjiang said to Pei Shuying, "Didn't you say last year that there would be an emergency this year? He must have other purposes, and it's definitely not just about releasing fish into the water."

Yang Ming put down the fast son angrily, glared at Pei Shuying, and said:

"You also said last time that women don't discuss big things, so they will slap themselves in the face today."

Pei Shuying stuck out her tongue embarrassedly: "Curious, if you don't want to say it, you won't say it."

"If he doesn't say it, he just treats the two of us as outsiders," Yang Yinjiang tugged at Pei Shuying's sleeve, squeezed her eyebrows and said, "Or you think that we are women and not worth discussing."

Pei Shuying cooperated: "It's us who trespassed, and we won't ask again."

"Okay...... Since you all said so," Yang Ming sighed, looked at the expectant expressions on the faces of the two women, and said, "Then don't ask in the future."

Yang Yinjiang asked Pei Shuying's smile to freeze at the same time, just like that,

"Ask me again, I'm a dog!" Yang Yinjiang threw her sleeves out of the door angrily.

Pei Shuying covered her mouth and laughed, and she laughed angrily.

In fact, from the earliest time, Pei Shuying guessed correctly that Yang Ming was going to create an emergency situation, so as to play the court and use the money and grain from the treasury.

What is it used for? Of course, it is to suppress bandits, and at the moment the water bandits are powerful, and they have already plundered a lot of merchant ships, and if they are left alone, the climate will be formed in another month.

At that time, the bandits needed naval ships, and Yang Ming just wanted to use the money from the treasury to rebuild the Xiangyang naval army.

And this water army, from top to bottom, must be his people.
