"Have you ever thought about a question? Jiaozhi has been incorporated into the Central Plains intermittently and hundreds of years ago. The scholars of Jiaozhi also practiced the way of Confucius and Mencius. Why has Jiaozhi surrendered and rebelled for hundreds of years?" Xiao Xiao Hsu sighed and asked a question.

Ye Qiu shook his head helplessly. He had thought about this problem when he first set foot on the land of Jiaozhi, but he couldn't think of a reason for it, so he just didn't bother thinking about it anymore.

In fact, not to mention Ye Qiu, many ministers in the court couldn't figure this out. Ming and Ming dynasties have worked hard to promote Han culture in Jiaozhi. The upper class in Jiaozhi are proud of being proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics and speaking fluent Chinese, but I don't know why whenever there is a disturbance in the Central Plains, these upper-level figures in Jiaozhi will take the opportunity to set off a rebellion, support the Jiaozhi people to separate themselves and proclaim themselves emperor.

"Does Your Highness know the reason?" Ye Qiu was a little curious, Xiao Jie would never aim at the target indiscriminately, if he asked this question, he might already have the answer in his heart.

Xiao Jie nodded lightly, and said in a deep voice: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. But all major events in the world are rooted in the word profit. The rebellion of the Jiaozhi nobles is nothing more than the maximum It's all about protecting your own interests."

Ye Qiu shook his head, expressing his incomprehension: "Da Ning is the kingdom of the heavens. Even if the Cochin people are independent, they are nothing more than a small country. What good will it do for these Cochin nobles?"

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, and said: "You will naturally think so from the perspective of a person from the Central Plains, but if you are a nobleman in Jiaozhi, no matter how rich you are in Jiaozhi, how you cover the sky with one hand, but look at Daning, they are In the eyes of the aristocratic families in the Central Plains, they are just an inconspicuous Nanman small landlord, and they have no right to speak in the court, so it can be said that these Cochin nobles will never have a bright future in the Daning court."

"The nobles of Jiaozhi, big and small, naturally cannot accept these gaps, so they naturally want Jiaozhi to be independent more than anyone else. As long as Jiaozhi is an independent country, they can cover the sky with one hand on the three-acre land of Jiaozhi, and they don't need to rely on the Central Plains family. The breath of the great clan."

Ye Qiu suddenly realized, and nodded heavily: "So, the Jiaozhi people are capricious and have repeatedly rebelled against the court, is it because these Jiaozhi nobles are fanning the flames?"

Xiao Jie still shook his head: "This is not the case. Although the past dynasties have never given up on promoting the culture of Han and Confucius and Mencius in Jiaozhi, when the people of Jiaozhi were in poverty, many ordinary Yue people had no chance to read and write. When I came to the Han culture, I would only think that I was a Yue person, a Jiaozhi person, not a Daning person.”

"In addition, most of the Han officials sent to Jiaozhi by the imperial court were officials who lost power and exiled. They either ignored and ignored political affairs in Jiaozhi, or implemented severe punishments in Jiaozhi and extorted money from the people. In this way, the more people in Jiaozhi Naturally, they are especially hostile to the Han people, and once the Jiaozhi nobles fan the flames, they will inevitably rebel against the imperial court."

After Xiao Jie's analysis, Ye Qiumao suddenly understood, but he also felt quite a headache. It seemed that this was a knot that could not be resolved no matter what.

"In this way, I'm afraid that Yueren's rebellion will continue again and again, and there will never be peace in Cochin." Ye Qiu's tone became a little more frustrated.

However, Xiao Jie laughed: "As long as the crux of the problem is found, it is not far from solving the problem."

Ye Qiu cheered up, clasped his fists at Xiao Jie, and said humbly: "I hope Your Highness will enlighten me."

Xiao Jie stared at the messy street in front of him, and smiled softly: "Since every time the Cochin Yue people rebel, they are all of one mind, so I naturally have to find a way to prevent the two sides from cooperating. cross."

Ye Qiu followed Xiao Jie's gaze, and asked with some doubts: "Your Highness, you mean to use this Chen Shan to deal with the Jiaozhiyue people?"

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That's right, I have already promised Chen Shan that as long as he can wipe out all the Cochin nobles who participated in the rebellion, I will tell my father that he is the Cochin prefect..."

"Your Highness, this matter must not be done!" Ye Qiu hurriedly dissuaded Xiao Jie. In his opinion, the prefect of Jiaozhi used to be Han people, and Jiaozhi rebelled from time to time.

What's more, this Chen Shan is a capricious villain, he can betray Ruan Nan today, and may betray Xiao Jie and Daning tomorrow.

Xiao Jie guessed Ye Qiu's doubts, and said with a smile: "Guess why I asked Chen Shan to lead troops to capture the rebels in the city."

Ye Qiu was taken aback, as if he understood something: "Your Highness means..."

Xiao Jie smiled faintly: "After tonight, every Cochin Yue people will regard Chen Shan as a traitor of the Yue people. If there is no court support for him, every Yue people will want to kill him quickly, and he will die without a place to bury him."

"The only way for him to survive is to follow the court to the death and help the court deal with every Cochin Yue who intends to rebel."

"Besides, I treat Chen Shan kindly and want to set an example for all Cochin Yue people. As long as they are willing to serve Daning, they can also enjoy glory and wealth."

Ye Qiu was convinced: "Your Highness has far-sighted considerations, and my subordinates are not in a hurry."

Xiao Jie shook his head, his expression was a little speechless: "Lao Ye, when did you learn how to flirt with others?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, and said solemnly, "I speak from the bottom of my heart."

Xiao Jie continued: "But to completely stabilize Jiaozhi, it is not enough to rely on one Chen Shan. I want to split the Jiaozhi Yue people up and down, suppress the upper nobles of Jiaozhi, and win over ordinary Yue people. I want to let the Yue people nobles and Yue people The common people are in the same situation, so that they can no longer unite as an enemy of Daning."

Ye Qiu was overjoyed when he heard the words, so from now on, Jiaozhi would never have the possibility of rebelling against Daning, but he was very curious about how Xiao Jie could make Jiaozhi split up and down, and the situation was like fire and water.

However, Xiao Jie suddenly sold out, saying that he would see the outcome in a few days.

At dawn, except for a few rebels who knew that the situation was not good and hid in advance, all the officials of the "Great Viet Kingdom" were escorted to Xiao Jie by Chen Shan's people.

Xiao Jie just wanted to announce the disposition of these soldiers, but a Yue soldier hurriedly came to report, a large number of soldiers appeared outside the north city gate, looking at the uniforms, it seemed to be a Han army, there were tens of thousands of people.

Chen Shan and his soldiers looked rejoicing. They really had more than 1000 people in this area, and there were indeed a large army outside the city to support them. Fortunately, they changed their gates early enough and made great contributions. Otherwise, the Han army would inevitably come There is no place to die.

However, Xiao Jie's complexion inadvertently sank slightly, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, to him, Xiao Huang who has a large number of people is more dangerous than the Yueren who are cross-toed!
