Chapter 816
Feng Ang and others could not sit still in the capital, so they submitted a request to return to Lingnan to help quell the rebellion.
Surprisingly, the emperor pressed the chart and comforted the local kings with kind words, but did not let them go back.
"When you go back at this time, should you help quell the chaos or cause trouble?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly and threw all the memorials into a wooden box.
Hanlin Grand Secretary Cen Wenben brought several Hanlin Bachelors to assist the emperor in reviewing memorials. Although Cen Wenben no longer entered the Political Affairs Hall as a prime minister, he moved directly to the emperor's Ganlu Hall to assist in the office.
After the imperial court's official documents and memorials were discussed and decided to give disposal opinions, they were sent to the Ganlu Hall. The Hanlin scholars also had to read them again, be responsible for pasting yellow for the emperor, sorting the memorials into alternatives, refining the outline, and pasting them on the cover of the memorial with a small piece of yellow paper.
The emperor usually only personally gave important memorials. If he saw the yellow memorials, he would hand them over to Hanlin Grand Secretary Cen Wenben or Crown Prince Chengqian to criticize them for the reign of Zhu.
Recently, there have been many memorials on Lingnan. Lingnan officials secretly submitted many secret memorials in front of the emperor. Cen Wenben and the prince are not qualified to read the contents of the secret memorials. They were all sealed and submitted directly to the emperor. However, they have read other public memorials.
Cen Wenben attaches great importance to many recent events in Lingnan, and all the memorials about Lingnan require Hanlin bachelors to handle them seriously.
"The saint, Jucheng rebellion, all of which were caused by Li Daliang. If Qin Lang had not arrived in Guangzhou, he would have immediately summoned all officials from Lingnan to Guangzhou City, resulting in no officials in the border areas being guarded, and it would have been impossible for Jucheng to take advantage of this matter. Qin Lang is responsible!"
Cen Wenben is very blunt to refer to Qin Lang's book.
Regarding the Jucheng rebellion and the current chaos in Lingnan, he suggested recalling Qin Lang, and issued an order to reprimand Li Daliang, and then send an important official to the Lingnan Xuanfu Liaozi's headquarters, and release Feng Ang, Chen Longshu and other local kings to return to Lingnan. In this way, the chaos in Lingnan can be determined.
Li Shimin frowned.
The chaos in Lingnan is now, but it actually doesn't worry him much? Whether it is Li Daliang or Qin Lang? One is enough to suppress Lingnan, let alone two now? There is another new naval fleet there? It can't be overturned.
On the contrary, Lingnan is now in chaos? This is a great opportunity for the imperial court to re-establish the order in Lingnan.
No destruction or establishment.
The situation in Lingnan must have a new beginning.
Cen Wenben only thought about how to make Lingnan stable? But what Qin Lang did was to make the Tang Dynasty truly fully control Lingnan? The two had too different insights.
Qin Lang was once the first Hanlin Academy Grand Secretary, and it was indeed much better than Cen Wenben, the third Grand Secretary.
When it comes to secretarial work, Cen Wenben is better than Qin Lang? But when it comes to this overall view, Cen Wenben is still much worse.
The emperor took out his small notebook and looked through it.
These are the notes he recorded after Qin Lang went south to Lingnan. He went on an expedition to Liuqiu Island. The imperial court opened the three prefectures and expanded the territory for thousands of miles. He added 100,000 new households. His royal treasury added millions of tributes.
Later Qin Lang entered Guangzhou? The Pingguangming cult was searched for countless church and manor bases? The seized land, houses, commercial goods and other goods were worth tens of millions of yuan. Qin Lang sent a ship to Beijing with a shipment of ordinary discounted light goods? Pearl ivory, rhino-toothed tortoiseshell coral gemstones, gold, silver spices, etc., worth tens of millions of yuan.
These two tributes alone made Li Shimin very happy. What's more, what he was happy about was not only the money Qin Lang paid for, but the huge underground force of the Guangming Cult. The severe smuggling maritime merchant group in Lingnan was destroyed, which made the court strengthen its control over Lingnan.
Not to mention, Qin Lang took the opportunity to start rectifying the local kings in Lingnan. The emperor detained Feng Ang and others in the capital. Qin Lang took the opportunity to break through each of Lingnan and differentiate and win over them.
What Cen Wenben saw was that Lingnan is in chaos now, but he did not find that Lingnan is in chaos. He is in a direction that is favorable to the court.
Now Jucheng has rebelled, and many people in the court called it Li Daliang and it was Qin Lang who was messing around. But in Li Shimin's opinion, this may not be a good opportunity.
With an opportunity to completely conquer the Jucheng Aizi tribe, this large blank space on the map is time to incorporate it into the territory of the court.
The emperor opened Qin Lang's latest secret melody again.
This son-in-law who can torture the troubles said that he planned to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, and let Jucheng fight with Zuoximan. When both of them were injured, he would reap the benefits of the fisherman. At that time, Zuoximan would be included in actual control.
A good move to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf. The invasion of Jucheng was a bad thing, but in Qin Lang's eyes, it became an opportunity.
Cen Wenben and many other officials were restless when they heard a 300,000 army of Jucheng, and they were restless when they heard Qin Lang that the entire Jucheng had all the troops, and the actual total number was only 100,000. These 100,000 were not elite, but were all the elderly, weak, women and children. To put it nicely, it was a 100,000 army, but actually no more than 30,000 young and strong. Many Jucheng officials even held bronze weapons. Although they were stronger than those of the Dongfans on Liuqiu Island, they were all equipment from the Qin and Han dynasties.
Li Daliang is in Jiaozhou, Qin Lang is in Yongzhou, and there is a block at both ends. In addition, the Qin Lang fiefdom Wu'anzhou blocks the Menzhou Pass. No matter how fierce the Jucheng Man is, it is actually framed in the left and right streams and Jucheng. If they are tossing first, they will only attack the Southern Barbarians.
There is no need to comfort me.
Li Shimin even deliberately refused to bring this matter to the court for discussion, and had no intention of setting up a Jucheng Dao Camp, so he let Li Daliang and Qin Lang handle it.
······
In May, Yongzhou was originally a lively season, with rivers full of water, which was a good time for inland shipping. On May 5th, racing dragon boats and robbing ducks was very lively.
But this year, Yongzhou City is a little nervous.
The Jucheng barbarians invaded and fought fiercely with the two stream barbarians in the upper reaches of the left and right rivers. I heard that countless deaths on both sides were killed in battle every day, and they went back and forth between the two sides, attacked cities and villages, attacked food routes, and fought repeatedly.
Although there is no Jucheng Man here in Yongzhou, the atmosphere is tense.
The city was built in Xuanhua City, Yongzhou on the south bank of Yushui. It is located on a basin centered on the Yujiang River Valley. This basin opens to the east, surrounded by mountains on the south, north and west, with high peaks and low mountains in the north, seven slopes and high hills in the south, and Fenghuang Mountain in the west, forming a long-shaped valley basin that starts from Fenghuang Mountain in the west and ends at Qingxiu Mountain in the east.
Youxi comes from the northwest, Zuoxi comes from the southwest, Liangfeng River comes from the south, and Xinxu River comes from the north, forming a central water system.
Yongzhou occupies the advantageous territory of western Guangxi, with abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall, few frosts and no snow, mild climate, long summers and short winters.
Although it is regarded as a barbarian by the people of the Central Plains, in Qin Lang's eyes, it is a treasure land.
In Xuanhua City, the sign of the Yongzhou Governor's Office has been established, and the Guangxi Road Observation Office is also established in Xuanhua City.
The Guangxi Road Transport Changping Envoy was established in Qinzhou, the Guangxi Road Examination Censorship Envoy was established in Rongzhou, and the newly established Guangxi Road Commandership Envoy was established in Guizhou.
Guangxi Road officially established the Four Envoys Office, and the Interview and Observation Office is responsible for administration and official assessment. Transfer of Changping Office is responsible for tax collection and money transfer. The Criminal Office is responsible for criminal litigation and official supervision. The Military Command Office is mainly responsible for managing the Daozhong Army Office and responsible for military affairs.
The four yamen are stationed everywhere, and they are not subordinate to each other and are parallel to each other.
The interview and observation envoy was under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu Province, the Transfer Changping envoy was under the Transfer Department, the Censorate Envoy was under the Censorate, and the Military Command Envoy was under the Ministry of War.
The establishment of the first-level four-level yamen strengthened the first-level administrative division. The first-level yamen is not just a supervisory agency, but integrates civil affairs, finance, taxation, justice, military, etc., and has a definite leadership over the states.
However, the court was worried that the power of the first-level institutions was too great, which made it difficult to control them. So they developed a decentralization system, with the four departments separated and each of them not subordinate, which was completely different from the state-level yamen.
The state yamen has a governor who commands the state yamen, and there are a large number of officials including the chief yamen, Sima, Liu Caoshe, chief clerk, record officials, etc., but the governor is the chief yamen, and the others are subordinate officials, and they are divided into positions.
The four departments of Tao are different, which is equivalent to the four cadres in the original state who were divided into six Caos, but there was no other chief officer on it.
The four departments only have part of the jurisdiction over each state, and are essentially just local dispatch agencies of the central government departments of the imperial court.
It not only prevents excessive local power, but also can deal with the problem that the current more and more imperial prefectures and the central government cannot directly and effectively manage them.
From the establishment of an observation envoy, to the establishment of an observation envoy, to the addition of a Changping envoy, to the addition of a new Criminal envoy, and the Command Envoy of the Military and Horses, the four departments were established, and the three-level divisions of Daozhou and County in the court have been officially unified.
Guangxi Road is under the jurisdiction of the three governors of Yong, Rong and Gui, and Yongzhou governors of Yongzhou, under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, Guizhou, Xiangzhou, Hengzhou, Pennzhou, Qinzhou, and Lianzhou. It also has eighteen banishing states in the left and right streams.
When Qin Lang landed in Qinzhou and arrived in Yongzhou, it had been more than a month since Jucheng invaded. A large area east of Nanpan River and south of Duni River was captured.
Under the fierce attack of Nong Sanniangzi, the barbarians of Youxi could not resist it. They retreated step by step and finally retreated to Hengshanzhai.
Hengshanzhai is the Youxi Dazhai, which is also the location of the Youzhou Governor established by the imperial court, and is a key place for transportation and military affairs.
In the fifth year of Wude, the imperial court established Hengshan County, Yongzhou on a ridge of the uplifting earth ridge on the Youjiang River Valley Plain. This earth ridge across the banks of the Youjiang River was named Hengshan.
Hengshan Manzhai has local specialties and is known as the local cloth for the southern clothes, and one piece is worth dozens of cents of money. Hengshan Manzhai has mastered superb silver refining and processing technology for generations, and has countless silversmiths who have processed exquisite silver jewelry.
Hengshan has the Youjiang River Valley Plain, fertile land and slope pastures. Therefore, Hengshan Horse is also very famous and is very suitable for the dangerous terrain of Lingnan, Yunnan and Guizhou areas. It has strong endurance and high load bearing, so it is short but very popular.
It is an important pack horse in the horse gang.
Since the Tang Dynasty, Lingnan has stabilized and the Youjiang barbarians have joined the court.
When Qin Lang went south last time, he formally established 18 Jimizhou counties in Zuoxi, granted official positions to the barbarian kings, recruited their children to Beijing guards or Imperial College to study. At the same time, he set up border cities in Zuoxi, opened post stations and commercial roads. In recent years, the Zuoxi, a large amount of local products have been down the river and the industry and commerce have flourished.
Hengshan Village has become more and more prosperous. Its local cloth and silver jewelry have developed greatly, and the horse market has become more and more prosperous. In just a few years, Hengshan Village has almost doubled its expansion, with a population of nearly 10,000.
Facing the fierce attack of 50,000 troops led by Nong Sanniang, the barbarian king of Youxi gathered more than 300 dongzhai in Jiuzhou of Youjiang to defend Hengshanzhai.
This path to build a prosperous tea and horse trade in recent years has now become the attack of Juchengman.
"Why haven't the reinforcements of Duke Wei arrived yet?"
