  Chapter 1019 Conqueror

  New Year's Day.

  In Kunzhou, Yunnan Province, in the city of Yining, Qin Lang convened all the ministries in Yunnan to celebrate the New Year.

   It is said to celebrate the New Year together, but in fact it is to use Dong Cuan's head to intimidate the tribes in Yunnan. Last year, there was great chaos in Yunnan, Dongcuan in the east of Yunnan rebelled, and the Nanman Kingdom in the south of the Red River invaded again. Although the Tang Dynasty finally defeated them, there were still many barbarian chieftains who did not know the current affairs and rebelled. , Of course, there are also those like the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Wumeng Tribe who followed the court and worked hard to put down the chaos.

   Now it is natural to reward those who have meritorious deeds, and punish those who have done wrong.

  The King of Shangzhu, Wei Guogong, Lingnan Jiufu Jinglue, and Xuanfu Nanzhong's Qin Tianwang have a call, who dare not come?

  After Qin Langdong arrived in Kunzhou, the landlord Cuan Hongda took the initiative to give up Yining City and ran to Anning City in the south by himself.

  Inside and outside the city of Yining, the elite Tang troops from Jiannan, Annan, Lingnan and other places have long been stationed.

   "Have all the ministries arrived?"

   "The leaders of the tribe with more than 500 people have arrived. Duke Wei has called, and no one dares not to come!"

  Qin Lang laughed heartily, "This is the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, I am just the Will of the country."

Before the Pingju Town Rebellion, when he marched to Tonghai, he summoned Cuan Hongda several times and said he was sick, but now Cuan Hongda is very kind, even though he moved Xi Cuan from Yining City in Kunzhou to Anning City in the south, He gave up the whole Yining city to Qin Lang, but he stayed in the manor outside Yining city every day, and came to say hello every day.

  All the Tang troops gathered in Yunnan, he even took over all the supplies of food, grass, quilts and other supplies, which was very generous.

   It’s okay not to be generous, Qin Lang is no longer at the frontier of Chen Bing this time, but into the heart. Qin Lang came from south of Lingnan by way of central Guizhou, not only brought the elite from south of Lingnan, but also recruited troops along the way, brought many local soldiers from central Guizhou, and recruited many assistants.

In addition to Qin Lang's troops, there are also soldiers and horses brought by Duan Zhixuan from Xichuan in Jiannan, soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Shigui from central Guizhou, soldiers and horses brought by Cheng Chumo from Tonghai, and Niu Jianhu from the South China Sea. The coming navy soldiers and horses waited.

  All the way soldiers and horses entered the land of Yunnan, controlling all the passes and main roads, and even the core such as Kunzhou directly occupied the magpie's nest.

  Under such circumstances, Cuan Hongda was already weak, so how could he dare to resist at all.

Even the barbarian tribes in those mountains, no matter whether they are Wuman, Baiman or other barbarians, are now very honest and hospitable. The native products of the local specialties came to Kunzhou to meet Duke Qin.

  Although Qin Lang's invitation was very polite, he didn't say no to it.

But this time the Tang army attacked from several groups and entered the land of Yunnan. It not only wiped out the various branches of Dongcuan, Cuan Qianfu, Cuan Chongdao, but also uprooted them. Hundreds of thousands of households began to be forced to relocate, let alone some ignorant The Wuman of current affairs, because they went all the way to the dark, is now indeed completely dark. They were encircled and wiped out, and they no longer have the name of the tribe.

  When Wei Gong played hard, all the barbarians became soft.

   "Do you know the origin of Dian in Dian?" Qin Lang asked.

  All Tang generals are good at fighting, but when it comes to this, they don't know much.

   "Because of Dianchi Lake?"

"During the Warring States Period, King Qin Zhaoxiang, the Chu State sent General Zhuang Qiao to Yunnan to conquer the local barbarians. After Zhuang Qiao conquered the local tribes, the return route was cut off by the Qin State, so he stayed in Yunnan, and later joined the local old man The tribal alliance established the Dian Kingdom dominated by the Sou people, who claimed to be the King of Dian, and whose old city was Jinning on the southwest bank of Dianchi Lake.

  The Dian Kingdom established by Zhuang Qiao is actually very similar to the Nanyue Kingdom established by Zhao Tuo at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The upper ruling class is dominated by foreign conquerors, but the main part is the local natives. They brought advanced culture and technology from the Central Plains, and made great contributions to the political and economic development of Dian, which was dominated by tribes at that time.

  After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty actively explored the northwest and southwest because of his strategic idea of ​​finding allies through the Western Regions to attack the Xiongnu. Among them, he found a poisonous road in the southwest, trying to reach Tianzhu through Shu and Yunnan.

  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent soldiers from Ba and Shu for an expedition, and the King of Dian was forced to surrender. The Han Dynasty set up Yizhou County centered on the Dianchi Lake area.

At that time, there were six counties under Yining County, of which Kunming was Guchang County. From then on, the Central Plains Dynasty officially ruled Yunnan, and also began to garrison, immigrate, and farm. A large number of new immigrants brought more advanced culture in the interior , technology, so that the economic development of Yunnan to a higher level.

  After Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han pacified Nanzhong, he changed Yizhou County to Jianning County, and appointed the big surnames as local officials.

  During the time of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, the four counties of Nanzhong, Jianning, Yunnan, Yongchang, and Xinggu were separated from Yizhou, and Ningzhou was established, which is listed with Yizhou and is one of the 19 prefectures in the country.

  After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Cuan, the main surname of Fangtu, gradually rose from the eight major surnames in Nanzhong and became the ruler of central Yunnan. Since Emperor Cheng of the Jin Dynasty named Cuan Chen the governor of Ningzhou and recognized his hereditary status, after hundreds of years, no matter how turbulent the Central Plains was, the Cuan clan maintained its rule over Kunchuan.

  Even during the turbulent period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the Central Plains, Dian land was rich in household registration, rich in gold and treasure, with many horses, rhinoceros elephants, and pearls, becoming a pearl in the southwest.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Cuan Hongda, who brought the captives of the Sui Dynasty back to Chang'an as a slave, was sent back to Yunnan, and Yizhou was changed to Kunzhou, and he was named the governor of Kunzhou. After that, ninety-two Jimi prefectures were successively established in Yunnan. .

   It wasn't until the Zhenguan Dynasty that the Jiji policy began to change.

  But it wasn't until Qin Lang entered Yining City at this time that Dian land really ushered in a complete change.

"How does Sanlang plan to arrange Xi Cuan?" The person who spoke was Duan Zhixuan, who is now the chief governor of Xining, Jiannan Road. His real name is Duan Xiong, and his style name is Zhixuan. Commander of armored cavalry.

   He is in the same generation as Qin Lang, so his qualifications are relatively old.

  Originally he planned to go back to Xining City (Xichang), but Qin Lang asked them to stay for a while. Finally, with such a good situation and atmosphere, of course the big things had to be done.

  Dong Cuan has now been completely dismembered by Qin Lang, many Dong Cuan people are relocated every day, more than 200,000 households have been decided to relocate, Tonghai, Xining, Dongning, Jiaozhou, Guangzhou...

   There are also countless Wuman and rebels who were not enslaved after being defeated by encirclement and suppression, but were sold to slave traders on the spot and sold to various places.

  The east branch of the Cuan family to the east of Dianchi Lake is now completely finished, but Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Shigui and others are still arguing about how to deal with people like Xicuan to the west of Dianchi Lake.

  Duan Zhixuan advocated that Xi Cuan should also be relocated outside, to Chang’an, Luoyang, Chengdu and other places, to give Cuan Hongda and other Xi Cuan’s children some idle jobs. Anyway, he was taking this opportunity to prevent them from staying in Yunnan.

  Zhang Shigui believed that Xi Cuan had contributed to the suppression of the chaos and should be rewarded instead of suppressed in this way. He felt that the Cuan clan should be absorbed.

   After all, the Cuan family has ruled Nanzhong for hundreds of years and has a high prestige.

  Duan Zhixuan believes that if you beat a snake, you will not die, and there will be endless troubles. The East Cuan and the West Cuan are originally one. As for the rule of Yunnan, we can support some other indigenous forces, such as the Six Edicts of Erhai, especially the leaders of the Nanzhao Kingdom are very obedient. It is better to directly appoint the leaders of Nanzhao as the governor of Kunzhou and move their tribes to Yunnan. ······

"Nanzhao Wang Xiluonu is very loyal to the Tang Dynasty, so I can recommend you to Duke Wei!" Duan Zhixuan is very close to Xiluonu. He is located in Xining, which is close to the Erhai Lake area. The slaves were active and loud, and they still gave Duan Zhixuan gifts of gold, silver and women. Therefore, Duan Zhixuan was very satisfied with Xiluonu's obedience. He usually took a lot, so now he naturally wanted to say something nice for Xiluonu.

   "Mr. Duan, let the Nanzhao tribe move to Kunzhou. Is this the original intention of Mr. Duan, or is it the intention of Naxi Luonu?"

  Duan Zhixuan's face was a bit ugly, "What does Wei Gong mean?"

"I just want to remind Mr. Duan that the imperial court has officially conferred the land of the Nanzhao Department as Mengshe Prefecture. Xiluo Nu is now the governor of Mengshe Prefecture appointed by the imperial court. Although he is ruled by Jimi, he is also a courtier of my Tang Dynasty. How can he dare to call himself King of Nanzhao if he is not granted a title by the imperial court?"

   "Dare to assume the title of king, how serious is the crime, Duan Gong will not know it?"

  Duan Zhixuan laughed sarcastically, "Wild barbarian, I'm used to calling you indiscriminately, and I don't take it seriously."

"Really? The barbarians are used to messing around, but are the officials of Duke Duan's court so lax? You are outside, but you represent a saint, and you represent the Tang court. Listening to it, don't you feel that the imperial court also has this attitude?"

  Duan Zhixuan blushed at Qin Lang's words, "Sanlang doesn't need to be aggressive with someone, does he?"

"I just don't agree with others. Regarding the relocation of Nanzhao's Mengshe tribe to Kunzhou, this is impossible. Now the imperial court is going to fully implement reforms in the central and southern regions. This is the general trend. Dong Cuan refuses to accept the court's rebellion. Xi Cuan will be destroyed, Xi Cuan will return to the imperial court, and the imperial court will arrange it properly. For other regions, the next step is to implement the policy of reforming the land and returning it to the local people. This is unquestionable. If you don't know the taste, you can't change this basic policy."

   "What is Saburo's plan?"

   "I will not hide the truth from Duan Gong today. This Xiluo Nu is obedient on the surface, but in fact he hides evil intentions and is full of ambitions. I have a lot of evidence here that shows that he previously secretly colluded with Dong Cuan."

  Qin Lang smiled slightly, "I have been waiting for Xiluo Nu for a long time, this time when all the barbarians gather in Dianchi, I will reveal his criminal evidence to the public, then question him and punish him, and kill him as an example!"

  Duan Zhixuan did not expect this to happen.

After being silent for a while, he finally said, "Nanzhao has always been obedient to me in the Tang Dynasty. He sent troops to help suppress rebellion and suppress bandits, and helped build roads and posthouses to open businesses. He responded very positively. Now Duke Wei said that he was conspiring with thieves to plot chaos. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public, right?"

   "Mr. Duan is trying to excuse him, or is he trying to vouch for him?" Qin Lang asked bluntly.

  Duan Zhixuan was at a loss for words, how could he vouch for a Southern barbarian?
