Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Cochin?

Xiao Ji couldn't help but frowned slightly, feeling very puzzled in his heart.

Jiaozhi is located at the southernmost point of the Daning Dynasty. The local people are mainly Yue people, and there are almost no Han people. Therefore, the sense of belonging and recognition of the Central Plains Dynasty has not been high.

The Central Plains Dynasty did not pay enough attention to Jiaozhi, and regarded it as a land outside the king’s transformation. Although the officials sent by the imperial court to govern Jiaozhi were also Han Chinese, most of them were officials who lost power and exiled. They either stayed in Jiaozhi or ignored political affairs. People don't pay attention to it, or they are implementing severe punishments and harsh laws in Jiaozhi, extorting money from the people.

Therefore, throughout the dynasties, Jiaozhi has been rebellious, large and small, and wants to break away from the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty from time to time.

This time, because the locust plague broke out first in Lingnan, the local nobles in Jiaozhi took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the Yue people with the Han officials, and encouraged the Yue people to attack the government, beheaded the Han officials, and resisted the rule of Daning. Finally, they supported Ruan, a descendant of the original Jiaozhi royal family. Nan Weidi, who called himself the Emperor of Dayue, announced that Jiaozhi would break away from the rule of Daning.

But for this Jiaozhi rebellion, the Daning court did not take it seriously. In their view, compared with the locust plague that ravaged the south of the Yangtze River, the Jiaozhi rebellion was just a disease of scabies, which was not worth mentioning at all. , The rebellion is self-pacification.

After all, the past dynasties of Jiaozhi surrendered and rebelled, and rebelled and surrendered again. Civil and military officials have long been accustomed to it.

There are even officials who wrote to Xiao Ji, thinking that Jiaozhi is a barbaric land, like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard. Instead of spending a lot of money and food every year to maintain the rule of Jiaozhi, the imperial court should simply recognize the independence of Jiaozhi It is a good thing to ask him to go to the title of emperor and pay tribute to Daning.

Xiao Ji rejected this proposal without hesitation. If he lost his territory during his reign, how would he have the face to meet the ancestors of Daning after his death in the future, and how would later history books evaluate him.

But Xiao Ji didn't expect that his son would volunteer to have sex before the locust plague was eliminated.

"I don't know the emperor. I have already ordered Li Rui, the governor of Jiaozhou, to dispatch troops and horses. Once the locust plague is over, I will immediately send troops to attack Jiaozhi. How can mere rebels and bandits be able to stop my master Daning?"

How could Xiao Jie not know about Xiao Ji's arrangement? He even knew what was going to happen next. After Li Rui entered Jiaozhi, he made great strides all the way without encountering any effective resistance. Unexpectedly, he fell into the enemy's scheme and plunged into the ambush of the Jiaozhi rebels, which eventually led to the annihilation of the entire army of Daning officers and soldiers, and Li Rui died in the rebellion.

The Jiaozhi rebels took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and once invaded Guilin, Xiang and Yulin counties in the south of Lingnan, massacred Han officials and people, and shocked the government and the public.

In the end, it was a prince who volunteered to lead [-] troops into Jiaozhou. He not only successfully recovered Lingnan, but also counterattacked Jiaozhi. The Cochin Rebellion was quelled.

That's right, that prince is Qin Wang Xiao Huang.

Now that he knew the plot in advance, Xiao Jie would definitely take away the honor that originally belonged to Xiao Huang.

"Father, according to my son's understanding, this Li Dadu is a bit arrogant and underestimates the enemy. I am worried that I may be easily trapped by the Vietnamese." Xiao Jie did not dare to directly show his foresight, and could only remind Xiao Ji in a very subtle way.

Xiao Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "The emperor is worrying too much. Li Rui is also a veteran general. He can deal with mere rebels."

Xiao Jie could only remind so far, and it would be somewhat impolite to remind again.

"I naturally trust Governor Li's ability. What I'm talking about is just in case. If I eliminate the locust plague and the Cochin Rebellion is not over, I ask my father to allow me to assist Governor Li to suppress the rebellion."

Xiao Ji was a little strange: "Ju'er, I know you are eager to contribute to the country, but Lingnan and Jiaozhi are both places of smog. Why do you have to go there to quell the chaos? If you contract some disease, what will I do?" Tell your mother and concubine."

Xiao Jie pondered for a while, and finally thought of a suitable reason: "I dare not hide the truth from my father. A few days ago, I sent Sima Yeqiu, the governor of Qingzhou, to Danyang to recruit some songs, and I wanted to lure them to Let's practice cochin, and if you see blood, try their tricks, so as not to spend a lot of money to attract a group of flamboyants, and I hope the emperor will allow it."

Xiao Ji laughed loudly, and then nodded, "Hahaha, so that's the case. Since this is the case, I agree, but you must act together with Li Rui's army, and you must never act without authorization to avoid accidents."

The Ministry of War also reported to Xiao Ji about the official recruitment documents for Xiao Jie, but Xiao Ji didn't take it to heart. Originally, as the governor of Qingzhou, Xiao Jie could have a private part of no more than 2000 people, so he naturally wouldn't ask about it. In this matter, the only thing he was curious about was why Xiao Jie went to Danyang County, thousands of miles away from Luoyang, to recruit soldiers.

Xiao Jie sighed in his heart that the grass on Li Rui's grave would have sprouted after he wiped out the locust plague.

……

When Xiao Jie returned to Prince Qi's mansion, he found that the Tao family's carriage had parked outside the mansion, and the waiter reported that Tao Lu, the head of the Tao family, had come in person and had been waiting for Xiao Jie for quite a while.

For Tao Lu's arrival, Xiao Jie was not surprised. Although the imperial court's official decree to confer Tao Lu as Marquis of Guannei has not yet been issued, as long as Tao Lu is not stupid, he can guess that as long as their Tao family donates the more than 100 million shi For the grain, the title of Marquis of Guannei must not have escaped.

He said that if he could help their Tao family restore their title, they would be able to help their Tao family restore their title. No matter how stupid they were, they would know who their Tao family should hang out with in the future.

Tao Lu had already drank several cups of tea in the living room, but Xiao Jie never returned home. No matter how indifferent Tao Lu was, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Xiao Jie was the only prince who took the initiative to extend kindness to the Tao family, but he and the Tao family had been hesitating all the time, not daring to turn to Xiao Jie completely.

But now, Xiao Jie has really shocked their Tao family. They don't know how Xiao Jie is able to predict the foresight, predicting in advance that there will be a locust plague in the south of the Yangtze River, and asked their Tao family to purchase a large amount of grain in advance and donate it to the court in exchange for the Marquis of Guannei knighthood.

Tao Lu could only come to one conclusion, that the King of Qi was definitely not a human being, and he was probably blessed by the gods with destiny.

They even got a piece of news that Emperor Xiao Ji gave Qi Wang Xiao Jie a set of nine crowns for the prince, the meaning is self-evident.

Now Tao Lu only hated himself at the time, blindly shied away, and did not stand in line with King Qi in time, and only hoped that it was not too late.
