After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 815 The Hidden History
Takigawa was originally owned by Xilong, and after the entire territory of Xilong was captured by Panlong City, it was of course incorporated into the boundary of Panlong City.

Because of the special geographical location and the problems left over from history, Takikawa became a major difficulty for He Lingchuan to take over as the leader of Yuheng City.

He wanted to see the context of Takigawa in real history.

It is his advantage to be able to open a retrospective perspective of more than 100 years.

When he just opened the file, he was in a very happy state of mind, but the more he looked through it, the more solemn his face became.

The record here was far beyond his expectations: in real history, during the Panlong City takeover period, Takigawa's banditry was once suppressed, but it was not cured, and even intensified in the later period!

Five years after capturing the Xiyu Kingdom, Panlong City had to abandon the southern trade route.

This meant that the business relationship between Panlong City and Baishawan was interrupted, and Zhong Shengguang's long-cherished contact with the outside world almost came to naught.

As for the reason, there is only one sentence in the county annals:
The Panlong army was tough and led to a popular uprising.

He Lingchuan couldn't believe it.

He originally thought that with the strength of Panlong City's army, it was only a matter of time before the Takigawa water bandits were wiped out.But history told him that this was not the case at all!

Because it is so far away, and Takigawa is a place plagued by bandits, outsiders don't know much about it, and there are only a few records in the county annals.

Between the lines, how many soul-stirring, see-sawing back and forth are hidden?
The reasons recorded above are of course incomplete, and can even be said to be biased and one-sided.But He Lingchuan read it word by word and back and forth four or five times before turning to the local clan history.

History is always written by the victors, and where the victors are dismissive, official history is rarely recorded.Fortunately, in the local area, the Prosperous family always edited family affairs and family history, and inadvertently wrote the truth into it.

According to the histories of the two families that He Lingchuan read, the Zhang family used to be a local gentry, while the Li family was a wealthy household in Tu County.The whereabouts of these two families are still unknown, because their family history is hidden in a private library in Tu County, and the seal of "Lu Guan" is printed on the back of the book.

It can be seen that Wu Shaoyi also visited the local sages to get these private collections.

In the troubled times, there are still people in Tu County who pay attention to classics. This is He Lingchuan's luck.

Both books were in tatters, and he had to look through them carefully.

Wu Shaoyi has circled the mention of Takikawa in the history of the Li clan with a brush.

The wording here is very bold, saying that Panlong City's army was extremely tough in suppressing the Takigawa water bandits, and their methods were vigorous and vigorous. Once they went deep into the hinterland of Takigawa to suppress the bandits, and they were violently resisted and killed more than [-] people.

These more than [-] people are not all water bandits!

Combat is like this, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between bandits and civilians.

The local folk customs are violent, and the actions of Panlong City's army immediately aroused public anger.Several water bandits in Takigawa even united to take revenge, sneaking to the south of Yuheng City and slaughtering two villages.

The main residents of these two villages are Xiluo people who migrated with the Panlong City Army.

Since then, repression and riots have continued.

The ancestors of the Li family almost lost their lives in the fight, so they gave up their original livelihood and moved to live in Tu County.

He Lingchuan found out between the lines that although the history of the Li clan was lavishly embellished, the ancestor of their family probably also came from a worthless business.

The family history of the Zhang family is relatively sketchy, and only records that the southern trade routes gradually withered, and their own papyrus business was greatly affected.

After reading Wu Shaoyi's annotations, He Lingchuan wanted to close the book and think, but didn't want to turn over two more pages, when a sentence caught his eyes:

In the spring of the following year, the city guard of Yuheng was assassinated and died.

This sentence made him startled.

In the real history of Yuheng City, there was no He Lingchuan at all, so the commander in charge of the city defense was someone else, that is, after Xiao Maoliang was transferred back to Panlong City, someone else took over the position of commander.

However, the records in the history of the Zhang clan are too simple. Does the so-called "city guard" refer to Wen Daolun, who is in charge of city affairs, or the new commander in charge of city defense?
can not tell.

He Lingchuan hurriedly flipped through the other books from beginning to end, hoping to find out the time and place of the assassination.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

In short, some important officials in Yuheng City were assassinated and killed, which is probably also a legacy of Takikawa's failure to eliminate bandits.

He Lingchuan dropped the book, rubbed his temples, and picked up Wu Shaoyi's letter.

The envelope was in good condition, and it was written "From the young and old."But He Lingchuan suspected that He Chunhua had checked the letter before handing it over to him with confidence.

Anyway, as Wu Shaoyi is a general, the handwriting on the envelope is not very beautiful, and it is easy to counterfeit.

He read the letter, thinking that Wu Shaoyi was telling him how difficult it is to obtain these materials, but he didn't expect that there were some dry things in the letter.

After He Chunhua defeated the main force of the southern rebels, he immediately sent Wu Shaoyi and others into Takigawa to continue to eliminate the rebels, saying that they had done everything they could to eliminate evil.

This task is not difficult. The remnants of the rebel army in Takigawa have become desperate after hearing that the main force has been defeated.

Wu Shaoyi found a 230-year-old water lizard in Takigawa.

This old monster is an aborigine in Takigawa. He doesn't have much magic power, but he has a long lifespan and a wide range of knowledge.

When Wu Shaoyi asked, this old guy is not demented yet, and he can still know the things that happened more than a hundred years ago.So he wrote the pen himself, recorded a dozen or so pages of confession for Old Water Lizard, and finally sent it to He Lingchuan in a letter.

The history of Takigawa is recorded on these dozen or so sheets of paper, most of which are trivial matters.He Lingchuan glanced at ten lines, and quickly extracted useful information from it:

Previously, it was recorded in the family history of the Zhang family that the city guard of Yuheng was assassinated and died.

The old water lizard remembered very clearly that this "city guard" was Zhao Yin'an, the commander of Yuheng City.

Well, He Lingchuan scratched his chin, that is to say, in real history, Zhao Yin'an was the commander who replaced Xiao Maoliang in Yuheng City.

Further down: "When Zhao Yin'an took office, water bandits attacked Yuheng City at night, and the city suffered heavy losses."

It turns out that water bandits attacking the city really happened in history, and they succeeded?

But in Panlong World, because of He Lingchuan's participation and command, this event had a completely opposite ending.

According to the confession of the old water lizard, Zhao Yin'an was indeed assassinated and died, which is consistent with the records in Zhang's family history.Of course it is not at the scene, so I don't know the process.

Heh, He Lingchuan is not afraid of the enemy playing this move.

He has become a habit of dying in Panlong World, and he doesn't care about doing it again.

But the next sentence made his face turn ugly:
The next year, Wen Daolun, the guard of Yuheng City, also died.

He Lingchuan felt a chill in his heart, and immediately remembered that when he entered the Coiling Dragon World a few days ago, Wen Daolun mentioned to him that he had divination a dangerous hexagram.

So, Wen Daolun, like Aizi Wen Ning, did not escape death in the end, and failed to fight against fate?
This kind of destiny is the most desperate, right?
