My Ji surname Ning clan is from the Central Plains and originated from the Zhou clan. The distant ancestor Kang Shu was the brother of King Wu of Zhou and was first granted the title of Kang in the Kinnei area. King Wu destroyed the Shang and established the Zhou clan, and later granted the title of Yinxu, founded the Wei Kingdom, and established the capital Chaoge. It was passed down to the tenth generation of Wei Duke Wu, and his youngest son Ji Tuo (wei) was named Ningyi. Later, he took the title of the surname Ning, which was the origin of my Ning surname!”

On the banks of the Yu River, in the city of Yongping County, Yongping Prefect Ning Chun was wearing a scarlet round neckline and a beamed crown, passionately.

The Ning family was once a great surname in the Central Plains. Later, when Emperor Wu of Southern Liang went south, he was placed in the area of ​​Ningyue, which was still very backward and wild, and was Qinzhou at that time.

The first person to take the Ning clan to the south was Ning Kui. Since then, the Ning clan has now gone through three generations. From the earliest days when Ning Kui went to the south of the Yangtze River, he only brought some servants and servants to pioneer the territory, to now, the Ning clan has occupied almost the entire Beibu Gulf region.

Through the Chen Dynasty and Liang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty and then to the Qin Dynasty and Sui Dynasty.

The Ning family firmly grasped the control power of the Beibu Gulf area. The key is that they operated here for several generations, not only with prestige, but also with private soldiers.

By the Sui Dynasty, after Ning Kui died, Ning Meng vigorously succeeded his father as the governor of Anzhou. He was a very ambitious person. After he succeeded as the governor of Anzhou, he sent his younger brother Ning Xuan to lead troops into the Daliandong area of ​​Hepu, to open up a new county, and to block the southeast coast.

In the Beibu Gulf at that time, although prefectures and counties were also established on the territory, in fact, they were mainly slang people and civilians. They did not accept education and did not register as household registration.

When Ning Xuan brought his troops to develop, it was still an unattended place, and it was full of liars. After Ning Xuan arrived, he first negotiated with the local Xidong leaders, and then used troops to fight Xidong who refused to surrender. Finally, he imposed the liars, and then mobilized them to go down the mountain, cleared land, built villages, and established a new county, Dalian County.

Later, the Chen Dynasty fell and the Sui Dynasty took over Lingnan. After knowing that Ning Xuan was actually ruled in this area, he simply appointed him as the prefect of Hepu County.

In the 18th year of Kaihuang, Ning Changzhen, the son of Ning Mengli, the prefect of Ning Yue County, used the same method to open up Nanbin County and Zunhua County in the northern part of Ning Yue.

At first, when Ning Kui went south, he only had one city. Later, when Ning Kui died, there were five counties. When Ning Mengli and Ning Xuan brothers, eleven new counties had been opened.

After Ning Mengli's son Ning Changzhen, Ning Xuan took over the two counties of Ning Yue and Hepu, he each opened up several counties.

Therefore, the entire Beibu Gulf region was included in the jurisdiction of the Ning family.

The Ning family had a very good relationship with Liliao, and they were both thrust and beaten, and the various rivers surrendered. The court even called Ning family directly the Lizhishou.

This is similar to the Feng family, another great hero in Lingnan. The Feng family also went south during the Liangnan period. They were originally the Northern Yan royal family. After the country was destroyed, they were placed in the Xinhui area.

At first, the Feng family did not leave the city. Later, the Feng family married the Xian family of the Lingnan Li people. From then on, the Feng family married for generations. The Feng family also moved from the south to the Gaoliang area again. After obtaining the support of the local Li people, the Feng family's power expanded rapidly and had several prefectures and counties.

Therefore, in the coastal area of ​​the mountains between the east and west Lingnan, the Beibu Gulf to the west is the Ning family territory, and the Feng family territory on the east is the Feng family. Hainan Island is also affiliated with the Feng Xian family.

The Feng family's development of Hainan Island can be said to have re-established Hainan Island, which had been separated from the Central Plains dynasty for more than 600 years, re-established Hainan Island in the early Han Dynasty. Later, Emperor Wu of Han destroyed Nanyue and established a county on Hainan Island. However, shortly after, the Li people on the island rebelled. At this time, the Han Dynasty simply abandoned the county, and thus left the rule of the Central Plains dynasty for hundreds of years thereafter.

It was not until the sixth year of Daye that the Sui Dynasty established Zhuya County and established ten counties on the basis of the Feng family's rule of Hainan Island. At this time, it had been 650 years since Emperor Yuan of Han abandoned Hainan Island.

The Feng Ning family continued to explore the wilderness to the west, while the Feng family continued to explore the south, collecting the slings from the Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan Island.

At the same time, because of the same origin, the two families have formed alliances with each other, and have been married for generations, supported each other and fought against the lie officials together. The efforts of several generations have made it extremely effective in Lingnan.

It can be said that before that, the imperial court had only occupied a few strongholds over the Lingnan area, and were the rest of the areas actually under slander control?

However, through the development of Feng Ning and Chen, the heroes and men who went south, dozens or hundreds of new counties were opened up in Lingnan.

During the short twenty years when the Sui Dynasty ruled Lingnan, its control over Lingnan was further strengthened, but it still mainly relied on these local slang and powerful people to grant them the title of local prefects and give them the privilege of selecting and appointing officials themselves.

They even each have their own army.

During the period of Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Ming of Sui, although there were rebellions in Lingnan, they fought and pulled each other at the end, and eventually returned to the old state. The rewards from the slang commanders of Lingnan to the court were to pay tribute every year, and when the Sui Dynasty needed to use troops in Guizhou or Goguryeo, they also sent troops to follow the battle.

For example, when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, Lingnan sent 30,000 troops, most of which were gathered by Ning, Feng and Chen's families.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the eight major forces in Lingnan ruled and attacked each other. Finally, Luo Cheng sent Li Jing to the south to break through the barrier between Luo Yi, Jiaozhi and Li Xizhi of Guilin, and then persuaded Feng Ang to surrender. In the end, Ning's army also led his troops to surrender and Lingnan was pacified.

In the following years, Daqin could be said to have little action on Lingnan.

Basically, the generals of Lingnan Li were appointed as prefects of each county, and their children were appointed as county magistrates, etc., focusing on appeasement. However, in recent years, the imperial court wanted to abolish the Nanxuan system.

The so-called southern election means that the selection and appointment of officials in Lingnan is not followed by the Central Ministry of Personnel of the court, but is selected and appointed by the prefects of various places themselves. This was the previous practice, but for the Qin Dynasty, it was impossible for the southern election to be like this, otherwise Lingnan would always be the territory of those slang men.

The imperial court was about to abolish the Southern Selection, but the Lingnan families refused.

During the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, all major forces suffered a lot of impact, but the Ning clan and Feng clan did not weaken much. On the contrary, due to their geographical location and early resignation, their power was actually strengthened.

For example, Ning Changzhen was the prefect of Ningyue County, Ning Changzhen's nephew Ning Daoming was the prefect of Hepu County, and his cousin Ning Chun was the prefect of Yongping County.

Ning Daoming was the son of Ning Changzhen's younger brother Ning Xun. Ning Xun was also a powerful general in his early years. He once led the Feng army to follow the Sui army to conquer Linyi, and went north to Cangwu to fight against rebels. He was named the Minister of the Dynasty for his merits. Later, Feng Xuan, the prefect of Hepu County, passed away, so he took over as the prefect of Hepu.

Ning Chun was still young at that time, so it was normal for her cousin to take over.

Later, the Ning clan opened up several counties to the north. After the Qin Dynasty took over the leadership of Lingnan, because the Ning clan made contributions, he simply appointed Ning Chun as the prefect of Yongping.

This year, Ning Xun died of illness. Ning family asked his son Ning Daoming to be the prefect of Hepu, but the court did not agree.

Ning Daoming simply claimed to be the prefect in Hepu, but in fact he had surpassed it. He then made a tribute to Hepu Dazhu, which had challenged the bottom line of the court.

Yongping Prefect Ning Chun and Ning Changzhen are cousins, but they are Ning Daoming's uncle. He believes that the Hepu Prefect should have inherited the Hepu County after Ning Xu's death, and Hepu County is much larger than Yongping County.

Therefore, Ning Chun and Ning Daoming have a tense relationship, and Ning Chun is not satisfied with Ning Changzhen's partiality with Ning Daoming, and almost turned against him.

When Ning Changzhen's uncle and nephew decided to join forces with Feng Xuan to raise an army, Ning Chun had already decided to stand opposite them.

First, he thought that Ning Changzhen’s uncle and nephew bullied him, and second, he also thought that Ning Changzhen’s uncle and nephew could not defeat the court.

Of course, it cannot be said that it was because of the internal strife between Hepu County. He could only summon his subordinates and his subordinates and his subordinates and their slanders to raise an army with him in the name of righteousness.
