Chapter 20: Zitong Xingxue, Mi Zhao’s southern tour! (2)
The Bailang Qiang tribe is located in the present-day Aden of Daocheng, and commands western Sichuan, northern Yunnan, eastern Tibet and other places.
Qiongdu travels to many Yi tribes, and Mi Zhao is attracted by this unique custom.
However, when he saw a group of servants wearing beautiful feathered ornaments and robes, he couldn't help but frown and asked the guide.
"Is that a local rich man?"
The guide looked at it and shook his head and said
"It is not a local wealthy family. He is Mao Nai, a member of the Mao clan of the Yunnan family. His brother Mao Jian was the Iron Official Order, so he came here together!"
"They followed mostly private parts and are not controlled by the court!"
The private parts of the wealthy families in the South Central are even more serious. Many of them are slaves who directly belong to them. They can be said to be in charge of the power of life and death. The slaves naturally only listen to their masters. These wealthy families are really like local emperors!
Looking at Mao Nai who was traveling like a royal family, Mi Zhao felt very uneasy.
Fortunately, according to the guide, under the combined fist of Ma Zhong and Zhang Yi, the forces of the major clans in the county were suppressed, and now most of the major clans in other counties emerged.
Speaking of this, Mi Zhao remembered that he had not visited the prefect of Yueli, so he immediately took his subordinates to the prefect's residence.
The prefect of Yueli at this time was Gong Deheng. He listened carefully to Mi Zhao's words.
"I already know the purpose of Zhong Guang's arrival!"
"Just leave the settlement of the great clan to me!"
He had known about the exile of the great clan, and it was one of his responsibilities to assist Mi Zhao in setting them up.
"In this way, I'm lucky to have a hard time!"
When it comes to Gong Deheng's character, Mi Zhao can trust him, and his elder brother is Gong Dexu.
In the third year of Jianxing (225 AD), Gong Dexu was appointed as the prefect of Yueli County and followed Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to the south to march.
Unfortunately, he was killed by the rebel leader Li Qiucheng at the age of 31 when he quelled the rebellion of the barbarians in the south.
Later, in the fourth year of Yanxi (241 AD), Zhang Yi, who was in the same county as Gong Dexu, found out the whereabouts of the rebel leader Li Qiucheng.
So he sent troops to capture the leader Li Qiucheng alive and behead him.
Now that Gong Deheng is the prefect of Yueli, he will not pretend to be beautiful to the great clans. It also weakens the strength of the local wealthy clans, which is also one of the policies of the late Ji Han Dynasty.
Now the structure of Yueli County is already the absolute advantage of Han forces.
Gong Deheng not only had county soldiers, but also four minions, but also had Red Armor and Eryamen Guards of the Northern Army.
In addition to the position of Yueli Prefect, he also serves as the leader and manages thousands of strong soldiers in the county. Even the rich clans have to consider it!
Mi Zhao naturally was not worried about the situation in Yueli County, but after seeing the situation of other wealthy families in the country, he couldn't help but sigh.
"The wealthy family is powerful, and there are thousands of household registrations under their command, and they are not on the court list!"
"A number of wealthy families have superimposed, and there are tens of thousands of hidden households in one county, with a population of more than one hundred thousand, let alone the entire Nanzhong!"
In fact, most of the hidden households were originally barbarians, but they all became populations in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but now they have become slaves of the rich clan.
"And most of the hidden families of the wealthy families are slaves, so they are allowed to command. If they rebel, they can gather tens of thousands of soldiers in an instant!"
‘It’s better to liberate the slaves now!’
Of course, Mi Zhao thought about this, and he didn't dare to say it to others casually, maybe he would cause the disaster of killing!
There are not many large households in Yueli County who need to settle down. After saying goodbye to Gong Deheng, Mi Zhao is on the road again.
He set out from Qiongdu and passed through Dingzuo County (now Yanyuan County) to Qingluo County (now Dayao County).
As soon as he settled down, he saw Lu Kang, a member of the Lu clan from Buwei County, Yongchang County.
Mi Zhao immediately started chatting with him. Surprisingly, Lu Kang had been to Jiaozhi, so Mi Zhao became interested.
"Oh? From Jiaozhi to Nanzhong, how to walk?"
"The waterway is the fastest, about three thousand miles in front and behind!"
"You can leave from Longbi County, Jiaozhi County (now Hanoi, Vietnam) to the Liling Waterway (now Honghe), follow the waterway into Xinggu County, Jinsangshui Pass, and Bengu County, Xinggu County (now Mengzi). The waterway only takes twenty-five days!"
"Shipping is convenient, material transfer is not difficult, and business travel is very convenient!"
"If it is by land, you can only leave Xisui County (now Jinping Miao, Yao and Dai Autonomous County). It has high mountains and steep mountains and few people to visit, which is difficult!"
Hearing this, Mi Zhao pondered for a moment, and continued to ask
"If the people of Wu enter the family, how can they leave?"
"If the people of Wu want to enter Jiaozhi, they mostly take the sea route, from Hepu to Jiaozhi!"
"Hepu County has developed shipping and will arrive in a few days!"
"The land route is entered from Yulin Linchen County (now Pingxiang City), but this road is not easy to walk! If you have to do business, you can't even get through the materials!"
Nowadays, the Lü family in Yongchang is mostly descended from Lu Buwei, and most of them are radiating to Jiaozhi and other places. Lu Kang's words are still very credible.
As we chatted, Lu Kang also revealed a message to Mi Zhao.
"Now in Jiao, Guang and other places, most local people (local wealthy families) are not subject to the control of the Wu Kingdom. I will not go to Jiaozhou again this year!"
"Oh? Why?"
Lu Kang said this, and then he said mysteriously in Mi Zhao's ear.
"At the time before, the prefect of Jiaozhi, Sun Xi, was tyrannical, and Ke sent thousands of people from the county to serve in Jianye, which caused resentment from all over the natives!"
"Now that the Zhan Zhan Deng Xun was ordered to inspect Jiaozhi, he knew that the Lord of Wu, Sun Xiu, would like to recruit Kong Jue and Dazhu, so he wanted to recruit Jiaozhi. The local people were resentful and irreconcilable, which would definitely cause chaos!"
Jiaozhou and other places are no different from the previous Nanzhong, and they are all powerful families in power!
Mi Zhao couldn't help but think of the Han Dynasty's rebellion in the South Central. He knew that if the Wu Kingdom had not handled it well, Jiaozhou might have all rebelled!
The man said that he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he had to confirm the situation as soon as possible!
So he ordered
"Start up and go to Yunnan to meet with General Anxi as soon as possible!"
At the same time, some ideas were written in a letter and sent to Liu Chen, and he reported them to the court with his experiences and experiences!
After seeing it, Liu Chen was shocked
"There are many slaves in the south, but there are abundant supplies?"
"Good guy, isn't this the Civil War pattern in the United States?"
"Master Wu sent someone to recruit peacocks?"
"Yes, this is the rebellion of Lu Xing, the Jiaozhi rebellion that lasted for eight years in Wu!"
Speaking of Wu Guoping Jiaozhi, it is really time-consuming and labor-intensive!
On the other hand, the Jin Dynasty did not move much, but just let Huo Yi's troops enter Jiaozhi to fight!
Although Huo Yi's army had tens of thousands, its headquarters had to guard Nanzhong, with a maximum of about ten thousand attacking Jiaozhi.
When he attacked Jiaozhi, Lu Xing had been killed by his Gongcao Li Tong (also known as Wang Tong).
He then relied on the goalkeepers Dong Yuan, Mao Jing, Meng Gan, Meng Tong, Cuan Neng, Li Song, Wang Su and others to successfully pacify the intersection, the three counties of Rinan and Jiuzhen!
Later, Cuan Gu, Ma Rong (son of Ma Zhong), and Yang Ji were successively the prefect of Jiaozhi, and were in charge for several years.
With the efforts of these people, there was a situation in Guangzhou and other places at that time that the people were shaking the people north of Hepu!
The Wu State had no time to take care of the Jiaozhou area. Although the Wu State organized an attack, it was not large in scale. It was not until the fourth year of Taishi in the Jin Dynasty (268) that Sun Hao launched a large-scale counterattack.
However, Huo Yi's troops still repelled the attack of Wu many times. Later, Huo Yi's death, his troops were still resisting the Wu army.
