"When my son was hostage in Jiangdong before, I heard those people in Jiangdong say that the 'Wuling people' were disobedient and unruly. Now it seems that this is obviously a false accusation of innocence......"

In the flotilla of several ships that went upriver along the Yuanshui, on the top of the big boat, pointing to the hard-working Wuling barbarians on both sides of the upper reaches of the Yuanshui, Liu Chan pretended to be uneven and sighed.

Wuling Man, as the name suggests, is a barbarian who lives in Wuling County, Jingzhou. Because there are five rivers in Xiongxi, Zhangxi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi because of its habitat, it is also called Wuxi Man.

Speaking of which, Wulingman has been famous since the Han Dynasty. The reason is simple, these people are too unruly and too strong!

Since Han Gaozu sent Xiao He to lead the army to develop Wuling and set up a county, until Liu Bei took over Wuling County, in the entire two Han Dynasty and more than 400 years, there were more than 200 major wars caused by Wuling's barbaric rebellion. In other words, on average, they have to rebel once every two years.

And this is only the large-scale and documented battles, and those that are not counted in the history books because of their small scale are too many to count.

Therefore, in the more than 400 years of the Han Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wuling is not chaotic and unlevied.

It's just that all this, fourteen years after Jian'an, is like being pressed the off button. Wulingman, who has been repeatedly chaotic for hundreds of years, is actually well-behaved and honest.

In the eight years from the fourteenth year of Jian'an to the twenty-second year of Jian'an, there was not a single incident of barbarian rebellion in the entire Wuling County.

Of course, that's just a metaphor for the 'key' or something. The real reason for all this is very simple, just because the owner of Wuling County has changed, and it has been replaced by Liu Chan's father Liu Bei in this life.

"Childe, it's not that we don't obey discipline, it's not that we are inherently unruly, it's really that those who were officials before were too bullying......"

With Liu Chan's emotion, Sha Maha and the others suddenly couldn't help but complain to him about their bitterness.

"Before the arrival of the emperor's uncle, the government not only asked us to pay one piece of cloth per person every year, but even those underage babies also had to pay two zhang of cloth every year......

"Childe, although we are good at weaving and dyeing, this cloth is not a random cut of grass and trees in the mountains, where can we afford so much!"

"Fortunately, God has eyes and brought Uncle Huang to us. Otherwise, we would still be ......."

In the end, as if making a summary, Sha Maha and the others were all sincerely in front of Liu Chan and thanked their father Liu Beilai, who was far away in Chengdu at this time.

In fact, speaking of which, Sha Mohe and the others are really not arguing for Wulingman's previous rebellion. The reason why Wuling Barbarians rebelled frequently before really can't be blamed entirely on these barbarians. In fact, the taxes set by the imperial court and the government for them are too high, which are several times that of ordinary Han people.

As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. They can't afford to pay their taxes, so in order to survive, they can only choose the simplest means of violence.

Therefore, after Jian'an seized Wuling County in the fourteenth year, Liu Bei, the father who knew the importance of people's hearts, immediately waved his hand and directly cut most of the high taxes that had been levied on Wulingman by half, and reduced them to a level that was basically the same as that of other Han people.

So thanks to this, these barbarians in Wuling County have not only done nothing to make trouble since then, but also have been even more desperate for their father Liu Bei and Dahan.

In the original history, after Sun Quan relied on a sneak attack to fully seize Jingzhou and kill the second master, Wuling Barbarian, who had been guarding his 'Shenyin' for more than ten years, even if he stopped doing it, he immediately reopened the 'rampage' mode and began to rebel against Sun Quan's rule in Wuling, Changsha, and Guiyang counties.

During this period, they even planned many times to take back Wuling County and return it to the rule of their father Liu Bei.

It's just that under the attack led by Pan Jun, a guy who is familiar with the terrain of Wuling County, who was engaged in the former Jingzhou Zhizhong who surrendered to Sun Quan, they still failed in the end.

Then, when his father Liu Bei raised troops to conquer Sun Quan, Sha Mohe also led his clansmen to take the initiative to ask his father for help and participated in all the battles against Wu. It's not like in the romance, the father sent someone to seal the official and make a wish to persuade them to come to Sha Maha.

And even after the defeat of Yiling and the death of Sha Maha, Wulingman's resistance to Eastern Wu never stopped until the destruction of Eastern Wu.

It can be said that since the establishment of Wuling County, Daddy Liu Bei is the most successful person in governing Wuling County in the past dynasties, and there is no one.

And this is also the confidence of Liu Chan to come to this barbarian nest in person despite the opposition of the second master and a group of high-level civil and military personnel in Jingzhou.

To put it bluntly, what he is facing is not a barbarian at all, but a group of die-hard fans of Daddy Liu Bei.

Therefore, Cao Cao wanted to incite Wulingman to cause chaos in Jingzhou just like inciting Jiangdong Mountain to make more and more trouble, but it can only be said that he was in vain.

Not only that, but it was precisely because of the people he sent that he created an opportunity for Liu Chan to organize Wuling into a household and greatly enhance the strength of Jingzhou, which can be regarded as the best embodiment of stealing chickens and rice.

"Haha, don't worry. From now on, you are also Han people, and you are also the people of my Han Dynasty. So your taxes are the same as those of other Han Chinese. In addition, this son will also exempt you from counting money for three years, and your life will only get better and better in the future......"

Just when Sha Maha and the others sincerely recounted their gratitude to their father, Liu Chan also lost no time in announcing the previous tax reduction and exemption policy, which was also suitable for them.

"Thank you for your kindness! Subordinate...... The subordinates don't know how to repay the great kindness of the prince and the emperor......"

Whether it is a man or a man, people have feelings. Seeing that no one on his side had even moved out, the promise of tax reduction and exemption came first, and Sha Mo and the others were moved in their hearts.

"Didn't Childe say before that we can also study and serve in the army and as officials? We can't do the work of studying and being an official, but we can fight and kill the enemy for the prince and the emperor's uncle! ”

Just as Sha Maha's words fell, a barbarian leader who came with them suddenly brightened up, and then looked at Liu Chan with an expectant face.

"Yes, yes, Childe, there are a lot of warriors in our clan, and we should also contribute to Childe and Uncle Huang......"

Hearing the reminder of this subordinate, Sha Mahe also reacted instantly.

'Aren't you a flying army?' ’

Seeing the reaction of Sha Maha and others, a famous name instantly appeared in Liu Xiang's mind.
