Chapter 634
In mid-October, Fang La arrived in Yidu.At this time, it was snowing in the north, and it was already freezing to the bone.Lu Qian held a big banquet in the cramped Qi Palace, and solemnly welcomed Fang La and his party.

At the meeting, the two sides did not talk about business, but only gossip.After the banquet, he left Fang La, Fang Hao and his son alone to rest and sober up in the palace. When he woke up, it was already dark, and Lu Qian left Fang's father and son to have dinner before they were released from the palace.

The latter was placed at Fang Jinzhi's residence as a private banquet between Weng and his son-in-law.Those words can naturally be spoken out.

Fang La asked Ryukyu [Wanwan] again but couldn't find it. Knowing that Lu Qian's mind had been made up, it would be difficult to change it, and he felt depressed.When they said goodbye to Lu Qian and his wife and were sent out of the palace, the north wind stopped and there was no starlight in the sky. Although there was a little firelight in the darkness, the air conditioner increased. At this time, the second watch was approaching, and the little eunuch was cleaning up the snow. I have already gone back to the house. The snow on the ground will not be cleaned until dawn tomorrow, but now it has been covered with a thin layer.

When the father and son returned to the State Guesthouse, neither of them felt sleepy, so Fang La asked someone to light two large candles in the room, and sat across from Fang Hao.Then ask someone to bring a jar of wine from the Western Regions.

"What does Erlang think of the current situation?" Fang La's head hurts.

He never wants to leave the Central Plains. The Chinese people love their families and have a deep-rooted concept of being humble when they leave their hometowns.That's why the previous chapter said that the overseas feudal country must need great benefits to make the bankrupt and landless people in China willing to go thousands of miles away.But under the pressure of the situation, he was unable to resist the heavy pressure of the Liangshan Army.Lu Qian's look of wanting to drive them away made him subconsciously feel a little nervous.

Jiangnan is not closed off.There are also countless maritime merchants in Mingzhou [Ningbo], which is next to Hangzhou.Fang La had already found out about Java and Srivijaya.There are people who call the king and establish a system, and they respect Buddhism. No matter how barbaric the land is, it seems feasible.

And many people say that there are rich products there, there is no cold winter, there is no severe cold, and the four seasons are like spring and summer. Therefore, there are fruit forests everywhere, with many kinds of fruits and melons, which can be picked easily and eaten in endlessly.If only this is the case, it can be regarded as a kingdom of heaven.

But there is good and there is bad.The downside there is that it is hot and rainy throughout the year, so that miasma is full of miasma and poisonous insects everywhere. When you sleep at night, you may not be sure that there will be a poisonous snake coiled next to your pillow the next day. If you are not careful, you will be irreparable.

"The situation is beyond our control, and there is nothing we can do." Fang Hao glanced at his father.He knew that Fang La didn't want to leave the Central Plains and go to that barbaric and plagued land, who would want to go?He didn't want to go either.But compared to going to Nanyang to establish a country, Fang La is more unwilling to die.

"Now there are only two ways to wait for our army. One is to obey Lu Guoheng's dispatch; the other is to be an enemy." When Lu Qian made up his mind not to change his mind, it was easy to make a choice.

The former has some hope of life, but a lot of it; the latter is a road to death and no life.

"My Manichaeism was able to rise up smoothly and swept all parts of the south of the Yangtze River like a broken bamboo. It relied on Lu Guoheng's strategy." The territory of the Manichaeism at its peak was far larger than the territory in the official history, and it was also larger than the territory in the Water Margin. The "Taiping Dafa" that Lu Qian fooled them back then played a very important role.

But just like Hong Xiuquan and others in history, the leaders of the Manichaeism after the successful uprising were corrupted by wealth and wealth.The cost of food and clothing is all about ostentation and luxury, but the lives of the local low-level people have not improved.

"Compared to Zhao and Song Dynasties, today's Jiangnan land has no Huashigang and worship bureaus, and the pressure on taxation and exploitation has been greatly reduced. However, our rebellion has also brought the people's livelihood and economy in Jiangnan into a desperate situation. The people's livelihood in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River The economy has always been outward-looking."

A vocabulary learned from Yidu came out of Fang Hao's mouth - export-oriented economy.

The silk, porcelain and grain in the south of the Yangtze River all need to be put into operation in order to accumulate huge wealth.But Fang La's rebellion cut off the Jiangnan trade route, and all the southward, westward and overseas markets were finished. Only Xiangbei traded with Lu Qian.And this north-south deal was directly in the hands of the regimes on both sides in the early days.

The limitations of the economy and the poor level of internal affairs of the Manichean religion have already wiped out Fang La's "people's hearts".Especially after comparing with Jiangbei and now with the small half of Jiangnan controlled by the Liangshan Army. "People's hearts are not satisfied. One mountain looks higher than the other. The more prosperous the life of the people under Lu Qi's rule, the more we will lose the hearts of the people."

Now the hearts of the people are almost gone, or in other words, the hearts of the people are heading north.Such a fight between the Manichaean army and the Liangshan army is hitting an egg against a stone-suicide.If you don't want to die, you can only obediently obey orders.

"Father, your arms can't twist your thighs. In my opinion, instead of competing with Lu Guoheng here, it's better to ask my sister to talk to Xiang Yier and ask Lu Guoheng to draw us a good place." Fang Hao dipped his finger in the wine and put it on the table. A general outline map of Nanyang was drawn on it.

That's not only Srivijaya and Java, but also Mayit, that is, the Philippines and Indochina.

"This looks huge, but father, don't forget the important civil and military ministers in the Northern Dynasty. Naturally, they can't all be vassal overseas and be called lonely and few. But if you count them carefully, there are quite a few, including Lu Guoheng's Son, even if there are as many as 50 people."

Looking at this vast Nanyang in this way, it is not very big.

Lu Qian did not tell them that his son would not be entrusted to Nanyang.To the north and west is a vast land, even Japan can be established as a country.There are only 500 million people there at this time, and it is not very difficult to conquer and destroy them.

Fang La sighed, "We are in this kind of place. Who knows that Wang Qing, Tian Hu, Zhong Xiang and others will be driven there." Subconsciously, Fang La felt that Lu Qian would not make them proud.

But he didn't know that Wang Qing, whom he was talking about, had just defeated Yang Zaili at this time.Seize Yuanzhou and Jingzhou, let the Jingnan Road land be completely owned by the Liangshan army, and then Xiang Yidu came excitedly.

Yuanzhou and Jingzhou are like Guiyangjian and Chenzhou, and Duoxidongzhou is barbaric.In fact, they are the Dong people of later generations.

Like the Yao and Miao people, they are all a branch of the ancient Baiyue people.From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the few people living here were called "Yueren", "Qianzhong Man" and "Wuling Man"; from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, they were insulted as "Wuxi Man" or "Wuxi Man". "Barbarians", in the Tang and Song Dynasties they were insulted as "Xidongzhou barbarians".

As a single nation, the Dong nationality began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.That is when the upper class figures, chiefs or leaders of the Dong nationality began to belong to the central dynasty.The Tang Dynasty began to set up prefectures and counties in the "Dong District", established the Jimi regime, and appointed local chiefs with surnames as governors.At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the feudal dynasties declined and were unable to rule the ethnic minorities in the frontier areas. The local tyrants with the big surnames in the Dong nationality called themselves "Dongzhu". Suining, Tongdao, Liping, Jinping, Tianzhu and other places all belong to the scope of "Ten Caves".

In the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo (980), Yang Tongbao, the leader of Shidong, "acquired soil" from the Song Dynasty.Until the second year of Daguan (1108), Yang Zaili, the West Road of Jingzhou, offered land, with a surrounding area of ​​more than [-] miles, [-] households, and [-] people.

To this day, the "Cave Lords" have established cities, attached themselves to the kings and people, that is, the Han people, and established schools.It has gradually changed from "Dongding" to "acquainted household".But the owner's rights have never changed.They are like the chieftains in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In their own one-acre three-point land, they are the masters of everything, and they are the emperors of the soil.

Lu Qian's withdrawal in the middle of the year does not mean that he will give up all the vast areas south of Hengyang.Instead, Guo Yong was asked to set up a provincial garrison to cooperate with Xie Bao and Zou Yuan's troops to attack Guiyangjian, Chenzhou, and Daozhou.Call Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing to send troops from Shaozhou to conquer the southwestern states.Such as Yuanzhou, Jingzhou, Wugang Army, Quanzhou, Yongzhou and other places.

During this period of time, although Wang Qing put more thoughts on conquest, he didn't really keep his ears to the outside world.He had already heard about the secret activities between Lu Qian and Fang La.Lu Qian didn't hide anything from him either, he just concealed something in the final enfeoffment.

Lu Qian said Dali to him, which made Wang Qing ecstatic.

Although Dali is also a small country outside the region, it has been established for nearly 200 years, and the people have been treated like kings for a long time. They are mostly influenced by the Central Plains, but it is ten times better than overseas.

As for what Lu Qian said, if two tigers compete for food, the winner will live in Dali.Wang Qing is not afraid at all if he is asked to compete with Zhong Xiang.

Most of Zhong Xiangjun's subordinates lived around Dongting Lake, and they were used to sailing boats and rudders. They left Dongting, left the current, and went south to fight, and their progress was far less than Wang Qing's.The latter is naturally happy.

Lu Qian's attitude towards the local people is always that those who obey will prosper, and those who resist will perish.He did not want to immediately change his land and return to his hometown, but he also did not go to the palace with his chiefs to determine who could be appointed as an official in his area and who could be appointed as an official in his area. Large areas were called states and small areas were called counties. The appointment of officials was hereditary. , Xu Yiyi.Instead, we need to establish prefectures and counties, and govern them together.

Moreover, the appointment of officials by the masters of each cave is very small, and they are also called under the prefecture and county in name.Taking a comprehensive look at it, this is something that touches the interests of the noble people.

Of course, they know that the consolidation of the soil flow is the prelude to reforming the soil and returning it to the flow.Perhaps this prelude will last for a long time, and at the end, he himself, his son and grandson may all be gone.But this is ultimately a bad sign.

The cave owners are naturally dissatisfied.

In this case, it was necessary to send troops to conquer. Wang Qing completely wiped out the Yuanzhou, Jingzhou and Wugang armies before the end of the year, completing the task. Compared with Zhong Xianglai who was in a mess next to him, how could he not be excited and happy?

There is no common language with Fang La.Just like what Li Zhu said in persuasion, "When dynasties competed for the dragon, those who arrogated authority without authorization met with a happy end. My lord can still be called a loner and claim to be a country. How lucky he is." These words deeply resonated with Wang Qing's heart.

In this way, at the end of November, Fang La, who had no intention of persevering after being hit by Wang Qing, finally reached an agreement with Chen Guan.After Lu Qi was in trouble, the Manichaean army went south to the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom.

Right now, the Manichaean army is giving up the area south of Hangzhou and Shezhou by land, and the Zhoushan Islands by sea, gathering water, army and horses, and attacking Taizhou and other places with all their strength.

After the big deal was finalized, when Lu Qian heard the result, he smiled like a fox who stole a chicken.All the teeth are missing.

At this time, the "three invitations, three thanks, three advances and three remarks" have passed the second stage.

The northern region has long been annihilated by the severe winter and bitter cold. Because of the war between the Jurchen and the Khitan army, and the situation is clearly unfavorable to the Khitan, more refugees flooded into Zhuozhou during the winter.

In the northwest region, Lu Qian promoted Sun Zhaoyuan as the governor of the Su province because of his meritorious service in building the canal, and Li Mida was the governor of the Guanzhong province.

Jia Lu Zhishen is the general of Zhenxi. More than half of the Western Army attached to him from the south of the Yangtze River is under Lu Zhishen's rule.The rest were incorporated into the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so that there were 20 soldiers and motors under its jurisdiction.

Zengzheng White Banner, with Yang Zaili, the leader of the Dong people in Jingzhou, as the banner owner, weaving households as slaves, and adding them as a mountain force to help the Qi army conquer disobedient officials.

In the twelfth lunar month, another urgent report from the North.Liao Shangjing fell.
