Governor please stay

This Southern Expedition came to an end. Although the ending was not perfect, neither Chen Baxian was captured nor the local tyrants in Lingnan were completely tamed, Liu Yishou felt that he had achieved the best he could do in a short period of time, at least eliminating the rebellion in the Guangzhou area power.

Before leaving, Liu Yishou appointed Wang Wei as the governor of Guangzhou and the governor of all military forces in southern Lingnan.Yang Zhong was the governor of Hengzhou, and he obeyed Wang Wei's tent. He led [-] elite soldiers to station in Shaoguan, and everything was subject to Wang Wei's military orders.

And Hou Andu is the governor of Xinzhou, responsible for doing the dirty work, dealing directly with the local rich chiefs, and also obeying Wang Wei.

After Liu Yishou left, Wang Wei ordered to open a long and narrow "official zone" between Dayuling and Panyu according to his previous explanation, and no local clans were allowed to stay in these places.It is declared to the outside world that it is to build an easy official road to connect Panyu and southern Jiangxi.

If there are big local households living in a location that really blocks the way, the imperial court will resettle these people elsewhere, similar to Liu Yishou's previous collective demolition and resettlement as a whole.

This policy sounds like it is beneficial to all parties in the local area, but if you look closely, you will find that there are countless tricks in it!

At the same time, Wang Wei also ordered all states and counties in south of the Five Ridges to cooperate with the imperial court's action and send young and strong men to build roads.

Since it was announced to the outside world that it was for the welfare of the people of Lingnan, the imperial court neither paid wages nor cared about meals, and simply prostituted the local young and strong for nothing, which is very shameless.

Wang Wei was very puzzled by this strategy at the beginning, thinking that Liu Yishou's move would force against those local rich and powerful chieftains.

However, what happened later just proved that Liu Yishou had a foresight and foresight.The problem that Wang Wei was worried about never happened!

Seeing that the imperial court is so powerful, and feeling that the repair of the road between Shaoguan and Panyu seems to be beneficial to themselves, these local rich chieftains gritted their teeth and sent their own tenants to participate in road construction and secretly maintain order .

Liu Yishou knew very well what these local people were. To deal with these local tycoons who fear power but not morality, if the court is strong, they will be weak, and if the court is weak, they will make progress.

Looking at it from another perspective, if the imperial court invested too much money, the local people would worry that Liu Yishou would take over the whole of Lingnan, so that these rich chieftains would not even have water to drink.The court's arrogant attitude, on the contrary, proves that those people should have passed the test and will not continue to be suppressed and liquidated by the court.

At the same time, some changes have also taken place in the territory of local tyrants in and around Guangzhou.They had to cultivate the land planned by Liu Yishou, so migration was inevitable.

Some of these people had to migrate elsewhere, and some had to accept new neighbors to make room for others.

Almost every family has losses, but it is not so unbearable to say that the losses are unbearable.In these movements of various sizes, many people can see some clues:

Those who followed Chen Ba first were targeted the hardest by the court and suffered the most losses.

The next thing to do with Li Qianshi is to go with Xiao Bo and others with the least loss.

Although everyone has been punished, Liu Yishou is not a bowl of water that is completely level, but the intensity of suppression of different local tycoons is also different.

So some people were beaten obediently, some couldn't help rebelling, and some came to Panyu City to beg Wang Wei for mercy.

But Wang Wei was very determined in his work, and he would do whatever Liu Yishou had told him.They will neither open the back door to these powerful chiefs, nor will they intensify the punishment.

In the next half a year, Yang Zhong, Hou Andu and others suppressed small-scale rebellions in various parts of Lingnan, punishing whoever took the lead.

After a toss, the whole of Guangzhou finally realized the situation Liu Yishou envisioned "the imperial court controls the trade routes, and the local tyrants scattered in various places guard against each other".As for the bloody daily fighting between the local tycoons, the imperial court is completely laissez-faire and will not stop it, and secretly pulls sideways, helping whoever is weak!

Liu Yishou wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, and he had to concentrate on dealing with Gao Huan. He didn't have that much energy to govern Guangzhou or even the Lingnan area, and he wasn't interested in being a saint who would serve Lingnan and dedicate his life.

What Liu Yishou is pursuing now is the unification of the world, and he even has a sense of urgency that time is not waiting for us.

Now that no one in the Lingnan area can backstab him, and this trade route can still make money, Liu Yishou already thinks it is okay, and it has even exceeded his psychological expectations!

More achievements need to spend a long time and unimaginable energy, which cannot be achieved by shouting slogans.

In today's Lingnan, there are still too many chaos, and it is difficult to get rid of the roots. It is useless to do those superficial work. You can deceive outsiders, but you cannot deceive yourself.

Even if Lingnan is settled, it will not affect the overall situation of the Northern Expedition. Liu Yishou also feels helpless, as if he is a chicken rib.

There is no meat to eat, but it tastes good to discard!

In the previous history, the Tang Dynasty governed Guangzhou for hundreds of years, but did not build it into a paradise on earth.Liu Yishou didn't think he had the ability to create a Lingnan of bliss in a few years.

Here, there is no room for those land reform policies, and it is impossible for anyone to accept you because of your "charisma".

These Lingnan local tyrants have no interest in external expansion, but they are extremely conservative and stubborn internally!Like a stone in a latrine!Liu Yishou didn't have any "true feelings" for them in his heart, he just wanted to use endless routines to "influence" them.

……

In the late spring of this year, after Liu Yishou returned to Jiankang, he deeply felt that the current national policy could not organize the frontier residents to open up frontiers. For example, the guests who went south to Lingnan had to rely on the powerful customers, even if they were unwilling, otherwise they would face the vast The resistance of the people in the government is no less than digging their own grave for a small family.

A situation like this is undoubtedly allowing the powerful families to grow naturally!In the face of such a situation, Jiankang Center is both powerless and lacks reasonable countermeasures, and it is blinded as a whole.

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Liu Yishou proposed to implement the "three-head system" implemented in the Northern Wei Dynasty in the border town area, that is: five families have one neighbor leader, five neighbors have one mile leader, and five mile leaders have one party leader.

Its duties are to check household registration, supervise farming, collect rent and transfer, and collect corvee and military service.Even the tenants who are dependent on the local tycoons have to be included in it, which can greatly strengthen the organizational power of the grassroots in the border town area.

In addition, Liu Yishou also issued an edict to establish a new Governor's Mansion in various border towns, such as Nanyang, Shangcai, Xuzhou, Hefei, etc., and set up a supporting "Construction Corps" to be responsible for land reclamation, border opening, farmland, and swordsmanship. Wei Guo!

Previously, the reforms planned by Liu Yishou were more about economics and politics, and less about military reforms.Now the "three-head system" and "governor-general system" are brought out.These are certainly not new things, but the intention expressed is quite obvious!

However, these policies of Liu Yishou have not yet been officially implemented. As a result, at the end of May, shocking news came from Beijing.

Gao Huan ordered Duan Shao to start from Anzhou and go northward, sweeping up Kumoxi in the south of Daxing'anling.Immediately afterwards, he threw down a large number of horses, crossed the Daxinganling Mountains, appeared behind the Khitan people, and unexpectedly stabbed the Khitan people!

And the main force of the Kumoxi and Khitan coalition forces is fighting the Rouran people to the west of the Daxinganling Mountains!Knowing that their lair had been emptied out, these prairie men hurried back to the south, but were intercepted by Gao Huan's own army, and they were defeated. They scattered and fled in all directions.

As for why the Khitan Kumoxi wanted to join forces, why they had to fight the Rouran people, why they were defenseless against Gao Huan, Liu Yishou in Jiankang had no way of knowing these things.

The only thing he knew was that Gao Huan came back with a big victory after going out of the fortress this time, and the army came to Yingzhou (Changli City) after a circle in the northeast.Then the army retreated again, and marched to the place where Cao Cao wrote "Looking at Jieshi in the east, to see the sea", and played a sacrifice to the sky!

Along with the army were countless cattle, sheep and horses, and countless captives.The marching team is mighty and mighty, and the end can't be seen at a glance.

As for the marriage between Wei Guo and Rouran, no one mentioned it anymore, as if it had never happened, and no one knew whether Gao Huan had a tacit understanding with the master of Rouran this time. battle.

Anyway, the result is there, and it cannot be tampered with. As for the course of the battle, you can guess whatever you want, and it doesn't make much sense.

When the news from the north reached Jiankang, it happened to be the rainy season, and Jiankang began to rain heavily, but it was not heavy, but it continued day after day.

Just like Liu Yishou's mood recently.

In the study room of Prince Wu's Mansion, Chen Yuankang handed a memorial to Liu Yishou and said: "The system of three chiefs is of little significance. In the process of implementing the system of three chiefs, the three chiefs are actually selected from the powerful families.

Not only can they themselves enjoy the privilege of being exempted from conscripts, but one or three of their relatives can also receive the same treatment. "

Liu Yishou was very powerful alone, but this time Chen Yuankang felt that the opponent's moves were a bit old-fashioned, and they were all well-studied things.

"The system of three chiefs is convenient for us to bring over new land occupations and prevent them from having to keep warm with the local tyrants. Now it seems that this method is not yet available."

Liu Yishou sighed and said helplessly, he was a little concerned about the sentence in the Northern War Report that "capturing livestock and horses does not count".

This wave of Gao Huan is full!

"If you want to cross the Yellow River and fight Gao Huan, the opponent's cavalry will always be a serious concern. Now that Gao Huan's army has obtained so many good horses, I feel that eating here is tasteless."

Liu Yishou sighed again, and returned Chen Yuankang's memorial without even reading it.This memorial is about farming in border towns. If it is useful, it must be useful, but...Gao Huan has now been blessed by external forces and has become stronger rapidly.

Many conventional routines are no longer effective.

Liu Yishou understood very well that the so-called quantitative change produces qualitative change is an irrefutable truth in the world.Gao Huan has acquired a large number of war horses, so he will definitely be able to train a very useful cavalry.

The only thing I can rely on in the Northern Expedition is the navy and firearms.These things are not very useful in Hebei, especially those things like Zhentianlei, which are used in the plains, and the choice of timing is very particular.

The cavalry is rushing over, if you don't react in time, you will be finished, even if you have a magic weapon in your hand, you won't be able to use it!

All in all, he is very confident in self-protection now, but his aggressiveness is not enough. He is still a bit short of a decisive battle with Gao Huan in Hebei.The closer you are to the finish line, the less you can do it recklessly.

"My lord, Gao Huan is not young anymore, but the lord is still very young. Gao Huan may not have a few years to wait, but the lord still has many years to wait!

The direct descendants of Gao Huan's tribe have been rampant outside the Great Wall this time, and their morale is high, and their subordinates do not recommend that the lord should go to the Northern Expedition this year.No, if the subordinate guessed correctly, Gao Huan will probably send someone to trouble us, the lord has to be careful! "

Chen Yuankang cupped his hands and said.

The cattle are used for the fields, the horses are used for the cavalry, and the captured slaves are strong laborers who can do any dirty work.It's not hard to imagine that what Gao Huan got, the growth of national power is visible to the naked eye!

But even if they win this time, there are many things that have not changed, and even worsened!For example, arrogance arises.

Gao Huan's age and lifespan have not changed, and he will not live a few more years because of it.

The root causes of corruption and sharp factional conflicts within the Wei State are still there, and no essential changes have taken place.

In general, it's just a little floating money, which can be spent for a few years.

Although Liu Yishou did not make money from here or there, he has always been determined to reform the internal structure of Liang State, improve people's livelihood in the country and restrain land annexation.

In recent years, the taxes collected by Liang Guo, calculated on the basis of cloth, are several times more than when Xiao Yan was in power!

One is to continuously improve internally, and the other is to make a lot of money from the outside. Whose side is time, needless to say?

"You're right, but... time isn't really on our side either."

Liu Yishou shook his head slightly, Chen Yuankang did not see the laziness and conservatism of some personnel in the Liangguo Center.These people may still have a sense of responsibility for governing the Liang Kingdom, but they have no interest in the Northern Expedition at all!

Since the south is so good, since we are already in high positions and have everything, why do we have to work hard to go to the north to fight with those wolf-like barbarians?

People with this kind of thinking, even high-ranking officials, are not alone, and they can even be said to be the mainstream!

It's just that Liu Yi has a high position and authority, and he cherishes feathers more on weekdays, so it's inconvenient for those people to say anything.They don't express their opposition to the Northern Expedition, but it doesn't mean they will support the Northern Expedition!

"Gao Huan won a big victory in the grassland. I'm afraid many people in Jiankang City will think that the Northern Expedition is meaningless. I can't sit still and watch all this intensify!"

Liu Yishou looked at the rain outside the door and muttered to himself.He was very worried in his heart, there are many people in the south, sometimes don't blame the many trolls and even scholars in the previous life who looked down on them.

Being in a corner, struggling to survive, is often the true portrayal of these people.

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Liang Dynasty, and then from the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, these southern forces seemed to be cursed, and they were born with a "weak" and "short-sighted" atmosphere.

Just like the "Jiangdong rats" one by one in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"These Jiangdong rats really can't count on it. Time may not be on our side! Changyou (Chen Yuankang's name) you are too optimistic."

Liu Yishou shook his head lightly, slapped the table and said.

Chapter 598 Ten years of sweeping the world, ten years of health care, ten years of prosperity

Under the city of Youzhou, the city gate was wide open, and two teams of fully armed elite soldiers lined up here to welcome Gao Huan to lead his troops into the city.

Gao Huan rode at the front on a tall horse, while Hu Lujin, who was dressed in military uniform, followed Gao Huan with a long-distance gaze, looking thoughtful.All of Gao Huan's personal guards who entered the city were also full of energy, and they looked invincible!

After today, Hu Luu's clan officially joined Gao Huan's command. Even if he was still a little reluctant in his heart, Hu Lujin had to worry about the impact of Gao Huan's victory outside the Great Wall, and chose a path that was more suitable for his family.

If he doesn't seek refuge, he will not be able to gain a foothold in Youzhou in the future, there is no doubt about it.

After entering Youzhou City, Hu Lujin hosted a banquet to welcome Gao Huan.

At the banquet, Gao Huan praised Hu Luguang, who was very effective in this battle and had considerable military exploits, and canonized him as his trusted commander, letting him follow around.

Regarding this matter, Hu Lujin naturally did not refuse anything, and the two parties exchanged wine and wine during the banquet, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.Then Gao Huan ordered Hu Lujin to build the Great Wall to the north of Youzhou, which would not stop until it reached the Bohai Sea.

As for the manpower and money needed to build the Great Wall, Yecheng will provide most of it, and the small part needs to be raised by Hu Lujin.

Hu Lujin also readily agreed to this request without raising any objections.

Satisfied, Gao Huan left part of the farm cattle for Hu Lujin so that he could gain a foothold in developing Youzhou, and then continued southward to Yecheng with his trilogy and countless livestock and horses.

In order to go back quickly, and also for "private visits in micro-services", to observe what kind of state those old brothers were when he was not there, Gao Huan put aside the slow-moving team and arrived quietly with three hundred light cavalry. Leaving Yecheng.

Without alarming everyone, he quietly entered Yecheng.

……

"Cluck cluck cluck cluck... cluck!"

A big rooster with brightly colored feathers and a majestic comb on its head was staring at another big rooster in the yard that was similar in size but with a slightly smaller comb. one time!

This time, the cockscomb was pecked to bleed.Wearing a short shirt on the side, rolled up the cuffs to expose the small arms, pressed his hands on his thighs to watch the high waves of the cockfighting, and shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes! That's it, General Zhu Guo! Peck it! Peck it blind !"

The comb was pecked and bled, which greatly stimulated the injured rooster.It jumped up violently, the wings of the chicken fluttered, and the sharp claws rushed towards the other one. The two roosters wrestled together, fighting close to each other, and soon lost all the chicken feathers!

It seems that the outcome is undecided!

Gao Huan, who opened the courtyard door and walked in silently, just watched the scene in front of him quietly, only felt that every vein on his temple was twitching, wishing he could kick Gao Lang to the ground, Give me a severe beating!

Forget it, he's not his own son anyway, so let him go.Since Lou Zhaojun insisted on giving birth, let her take care of it!

Gao Huan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, only to find that the sharp-eyed servants had already knelt down on the ground, and even the two roosters sensed the murderous intent, and stopped fighting with each other.

Only Gao Lang stood there at a loss, very surprised why Gao Huan appeared in Bafu!

He counted his days, Gao Huan shouldn't be in Yecheng today!

"Father...you came back so early."

Gao Lang said with a hippie smile.

"Have you finished your homework?"

Gao Huan asked with a cold face, and he became angry when he saw the other party's face that resembled Liu Yishou.

"Father, children can't read books. I won't be a son in the future, and I won't be able to be an official. Reading books is useless to me."

Gao Lang quibbled with a natural look, and didn't think there was any problem with this fallacy.

Gao Huan was taken aback when he heard this, at first it sounded like he was talking nonsense, but after careful consideration, he found that Gao Lang's words made a lot of sense!Especially when his real identity is not his own son.

It's okay to raise Gao Lang for Lou Zhaojun's face, but letting him inherit the family business is another matter.

Liu Yishou's bastard is going to seize the heir, this kind of thing can't be tolerated no matter who it is, even if it is his son in name, Gao Huan has to be ruthless.
