Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 441 I will discipline you

After passing through Yongzhou, you can truly marvel at the wildness and wildness of the wild.

After receiving Li Guangdu's kind hospitality in Yongzhou for a few days, Qin Lang led the crowd to continue westward.There were hundreds of ships, large and small, carrying his five hundred pro-army, eight hundred feudal knights and warriors, and 3000 attendants and exiles.

The Zuoxi River is wide and the water flow is gentle. The green hills on both sides of the river are sandwiched by a river with green water. When the fleet is driving on it, it feels like a bamboo raft tour of the Lijiang River in Guilin.

The mountains and waters in Guangxi are really beautiful, but the continuous mountains can't help but make people sigh the inconvenient transportation here.

Thousands of miles away in the Zuojiang River Basin, a new Zuozhou was established, and [-] Liao Jili Prefectures were established below it, representing the [-] strongest Xidong tribes in the Zuoxi River Basin.

Shibaxidong mainly relies on the Zuoxi River for communication, other than that, there are no land roads.

In the Sui Dynasty, the entire Yongzhou and Zuoxi River belonged to Yulin County, and Yongzhou was called Xuanhua. , The same is true, although they have never given up on the further Jiaozhi operation, but they have not gone deep into the Zuoxi River area.

Here is the barren land that was forgotten by the Central Plains dynasty.

Even the slang officials in Lingnan discriminately call the people here barbarians.

Fusan, the governor of Zuozhou, is known as the barbarian king of Zuoxi, but in fact he is only the leader of the most powerful Xidong tribal alliance among the eighteen streams of Zuoxi. Zuoxi has no barbarian kings in essence. Thousands of miles of wilderness, every river, mountain stream, and every mountain, basically there will be a barbarian village, and these barbarian villages will form many loose alliances in twos and threes.

The leader of the alliance actually has very weak control over Zhuxidong.

There are two to three thousand households in the large villages, and maybe dozens of households in the small villages. It is a barbaric land where the weak eat the strong.

The barbarians themselves often fought endlessly and had constant conflicts.

Zuoxixi Man used to live in Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, Qinzhou and other places. The most famous thing is their brutality and slaves. The slave trade is the most business done by Zuoxixi Manzi with the Central Plains. They are very different from those scumbags in the east. , the people in the east can be called Shuman, they mine gold, mine, farm, hunt, and even burn pottery, weave, shipbuild and sail, but there are quite a lot of barbarians in Zuoxixi.

They are still extremely backward there, and the biggest deal with the outside world is selling people.

Big villages rob small villages, and even fathers sell their children, stealing and robbing other people's children.

As the Zuoxi barbarian king, Fu San is the leader of the largest tribe in the Eighteen Xidong Alliance. He owns [-] households in his own village, and controls nearly [-] households, not counting the other [-] Xidong barbarians. .

Fusan does two businesses, one is to sell wood ore, and the other is to sell people.

Fusan used to sell wood, often cheating people, selling the valuable wood in the mountains to those merchants, and then according to the agreement, he was responsible for cutting down the mountain and even transporting it to the main stream of Zuoxi River, but they often felled the trees and deliberately transported them to Half, no luck.

Either the merchants add money, or they just leave it there. The merchants have no way to transport it away, and in the end they can only accept the trap and give away the deposit for nothing.Fusan also often sells more than one piece of wood. A batch of wood is sold to several merchants at the same time, and it doesn't matter if it is discovered.

Sometimes they would even make fakes. Once, a large timber merchant in Zhongyuan asked Fusan to purchase a lot of red sandalwood. This is an extremely valuable wood, but Fusan bought a batch of cheap and very similar black hardwoods, and cut down these trees. Afterwards, it was deliberately soaked in rotten black mud, and then sold to merchants as rosewood.

The merchants didn't see through these fake red sandalwood, they bought the wood at a high price, and shipped it out at a very high price, only to be found to be fake when they were sent back to the Central Plains, and they lost their fortunes.

Fusan's reputation is very bad, but fortunately he only does this kind of trickery, and he doesn't like to engage in kidnapping and extortion like other Xidong barbarians, or even kill people and rob directly. On Fusan's territory, He didn't allow this kind of thing to happen, so he was better than other barbarians.

This time when Qin Lang built the Daming Palace, he sent people to purchase timber. Many of the timber that flowed down from the Zuojiang River were actually picked from Fusan's land, and they were all bought from him. People also belong to Fusan, and those who discharge and transport logs also belong to Fusan.

The boat sails in the river.

Fu San sat on the bow of the boat with Qin Lang to enjoy the river view, Fu San felt a little uneasy.

"I heard that a village by the Zuoxi River robbed the merchants who purchased timber for me, and even the accompanying officials were robbed? And after these people were killed by them, the guards and guides were robbed of their property. Now the officials and merchants are all robbed. Selling as a slave? Fu San Inspector, you are the Zuoxi barbarian king, I am very sorry to find such a thing."

Fusan was also somewhat arrogant before, but he was a barbarian king after all, not as ignorant as the barbarians in the mountains, he had seen the sky outside the well, especially this time traveling east, to Xunzhou and Yongzhou, he fully felt Qin Lang The strength of the dragon crossing the river also knows that the current Tang Dynasty is far more powerful against Lingnan than the Sui Dynasty.

Although Fu San had scammed Qin Lang's timber merchants a few times before, it was only a temporary increase in price, or a few batches of timber mixed up with inferior ones, but now someone robbed and murdered, and sold the court officials as slaves. This is unusual.

"It's all those stupid savages who don't understand!" Fusan said.

"Not sensible? Is it as simple as not being sensible? Do you know that even the light green robed officials of Jiukou are also officials appointed by the court, and they are also selected by the Ministry of Officials. They are all officials who rule the world by the emperor. They appeared in Lingnan , appeared in Zuoxi, it was ordered by the emperor to buy good wood for the emperor to build the Daming Palace, and you actually robbed them, and dared to sell them into slaves? Do you know how serious it is to blaspheme the power of heaven? ?”

"In the wrath of a man, the blood splatters five steps, but when the emperor is angry, the blood flows away. In your Zuoxi, a village of thousands of households may be enough to rule the roost, but in the Central Plains, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, there were more than 20 soldiers and horses." Dozens of battles were fought. Right now, His Majesty the Emperor sent six troops, sending [-] soldiers, to conquer the Turkic Jieli Khan in the north."

"Do you know how big Turkic is, and how many soldiers and horses Xieli has? Turkic claims to be thousands of miles from east to west. Even if an eagle flies non-stop day and night, it will take a long time to fly from east to west. Turkic is known as the man who controls the strings immediately40 Thousands of cavalry, many? But so what, Jieli has repeatedly proclaimed his vassal to the Tang Dynasty, begging for peace, but because when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty first came to the throne two years ago, Jieli took 30 cavalry to the south, which angered the emperor , so it is indestructible.”

"Thousands of miles of Turks, the Turks with 40 riders will soon cease to exist. In comparison, how is your Zuoxi?"

"Don't say that the sky is high in the south of the Lingnan and the road is far away, or that it is wild and remote. Even if Mobei is thousands of miles away in the desert, my Tang cavalry can still ride through the vast sea and smash into the enemy's nest."

"Feng An is smarter than you guys. He claims to have [-] soldiers, but he is always respectful to the Tang Dynasty."

Fusan broke into a cold sweat from the beating.

Toads who have seen the outside world will be in awe, and will not be as arrogant as those barbarians under him.

"I will definitely discipline them well, and I will definitely rescue those officials and merchants, and the dead and injured guards will also be compensated."

"Ha ha."

Qin Lang only responded with two words.

Qin Yong, the sledgehammer boy on the side, couldn't help but said, "Discipline? If the governor disciplined well, such things would not happen. Zuoxi is too lacking in discipline, which makes them helpless, arrogant and arrogant. Dare to blaspheme Tianwei. There is no need for that village to exist in this world anymore, we must let them see the wrath of thunder."

Qin Yong turned to Qin Lang and said, "Sanlang, I request to lead the troops to destroy that stockade and bring back the head of the daring barbarian king. The rest of the barbarians, those with blood on their hands, will be beheaded, and the rest, old and weak, women and children, will be demoted." As a slave, he was exiled to Wu'an Prefecture."

Fu San said anxiously, "Grand Wei please give me another chance, I will discipline them well and make them pay the price."

Qin Lang shook his head.

"If you can't take care of it, I will take care of it for you. Those you dare not kill, I will kill for you. You are the Zuoxi barbarian king, but now you are also the governor of Zuozhou in the imperial court, and the truth is that you are the counselor on behalf of Tiannan Tour." Political affairs, Xuanfu envoys, killing officials is rebellion!"

The Zuojiang waterway is very important to Qin Lang.

The source of Zuojiang is the northern boundary of his fiefdom in Wu'an Prefecture. Therefore, in order to develop Wu'an Prefecture in the future, it will not only rely on Jiaozhou and Beibu Gulf, but will still have a strong demand for Zuojiang.

Qin Lang must ensure the safety of such a necessary golden waterway.

Even the officials of the imperial court dared to rob and kill, and bought and sold as slaves. If there is no deterrence, then he will not even think about going on the road of Wu'an Prefecture in the future.

"Qin Yong, take your troops to destroy that village!"

Fu San was in a hurry, "Xuanxiang, please think twice, there are thousands of households in that village."

"Are you worried that the people of the truth will not be able to break through this stockade?"

"Never dare to have such an idea, but I just ask Minister Xuan to give them a chance!"

"Fusan, if the truth were you, you would have asked yourself to lead your headquarters to attack and destroy this stockade for the truth, and sent all those daring and arrogant people beheaded, but you are here to obstruct it in every possible way. , but it makes the truth very uncomfortable."

"Back off!" Qin Lang scolded angrily with a darkened face.

Fu San's complexion changed drastically, and he was uncertain, but in the end he had to bow his head and retreat.

When he stepped back, Qin Yong said, "This Fusan is also a rebellious guy. If you dare to talk to Saburo like this at this time, be careful."

"Let him stay with you on the boat during this journey, don't let him get off the boat." Qin Lang also saw that this guy was not easy to deal with.

"Brother Yi, be careful. Don't underestimate the enemy. Thousands of barbarian villages are defending dangerous positions. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you can't wipe them out cleanly and beautifully, it will be difficult to gain prestige."

Qin Yong nodded.

"I understand that when it's time to appease, you have to appease, but when it's time to use your sword to kill, you have to be ruthless. Only with kindness and power can they be afraid of power and virtue, otherwise, these barbarians will never be honest."

"In a while, you can find Ah Huang and ask him to bring you some thunderbolts. This is a new weapon secretly produced by the Firearms Supervision. It will have miraculous effects if you use it well!"
