Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 444

Guangyuan Prefecture is in the upper reaches of Chongzuo and belongs to the source area of ​​Zuoxi River, while Shuikou Village is in the middle reaches of Zuoxi River and lower reaches of Chongzuo.However, the two villages have been married for several generations, and the relationship has always been excellent.

The largest industry of the Nong’s family in Guangyuan Prefecture is gold mining. The Nong’s family is mainly engaged in gold mining and smelting, which requires more manpower than barbarians in Chengzhou and other places.The Huang family in Shuikou occupies the middle reaches of the Zuojiang River, and they have always been bandits and bandits in the Zuojiang River. Their main industry is plundering, robbing boats on the Zuojiang River, robbing villages in the mountains, robbing people and money, and operating slave trade.

Therefore, the Huang family and the Nong family have been married for several generations. The Nong family is interested in the slave trade of the Huang family, and needs to buy slaves from the Huang family to mine mines. Sell ​​it to the Huang family for a good price.Furthermore, the two families are already far away from each other, so there will be no conflict of interest. Therefore, the two families have been married for several generations and have a very good relationship.

Nongford often went to Shuikou, mainly to buy slaves, and sometimes he would personally lead a team to participate in the robbery of the Huang family, anyway, they would sit on the ground and share the spoils.

It's just that I didn't expect that the consequences of robbing several official ships this time would be so serious.

Chongzuo barbarian king's stronghold.

Qin Lang invited out Shang Fang Sword, and beheaded Nong Fude, the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture, whom he personally appointed, with one blow, blood spattered everywhere.

As Fusan got closer, several drops of warm blood splashed on his face.

With this sword strike, the other seventeen governors in Zhen's hall all turned pale.

And Qin Lang wiped the blood on the sword calmly after killing people.

"Nongfude should be killed, and the truth will not be killed."

"Nongfude is dead, and the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture is absent. Now I will give you a benefit. All governors can send troops to Guangyuan Prefecture to clean up these rebels for the court. After the suppression of Xidong in Guangyuan Prefecture, who will If the family is the first to defeat the owner of the Nong family, then the truth will be given to the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture, and the land of Guangyuan Prefecture will belong to him."

"Of course, even if the other families failed to be the first to attack Zhudong, the truth will not forget their meritorious deeds. Half of the people, property, and livestock that captured Xidong belonged to him, and the other half was handed over to the court. "

"how?"

Holding the sword in his hand, Qin Lang looked around at Zhuman.

Some barbarians were frightened, and some barbarians were moved.

Although Guangyuan Prefecture is newly established, it has always been the territory of the Nong family. Their family is famous for mining gold. Before Nong Fude visited Qin Lang in Yongzhou, he presented a piece of raw gold weighing 110 taels. It is bull head gold.

Who can not be jealous of the gold of the Nong family?

The Nong family has always been rich and powerful, because they have many gold mines.

The Nong family has a lot of gold, a lot of slaves, a large population, and a large territory.

The Nong's family is much stronger than Shuikou Village. There are more than 1 people in the Nong's family, known as Jinlong Village.

If he can break into the Jinlong Zhuzhai of the Nong family and win his family's village, that would be a real achievement.

Qin Lang called seventeen governors to unite to attack the Nong family, and promised that whoever broke through the main village first would get the territory of Guangyuan Prefecture.

The governor can choose one of his brothers or nephews, and Qin Lang will grant him the title of governor of Guangyuan Prefecture to take over the territory.

One family becomes two families.

This temptation, even Fusan couldn't help but move his heart.

Qin Lang didn't plan to send troops, and Nongfude was beheaded by him himself, and the rest was left to the barbarians, and he was behind.

But after capturing the Xidong of the Nong family, he may not want the land, but he wants half of the population and money, and the other half is handed over to the emperor, and the barbarian kings are not easy to object.

In short, this time Qin Lang took the lead to incite all the barbarians in Zuoxi to besiege and carve up Guangyuan Nong's family together.

Fu San felt that this was too ruthless, the Huang family in Shuikou was gone, and if another Guangyuan Nong's family was to be wiped out, who would be wiped out next time?
But he couldn't stand the greedy hearts of other barbarian kings.

In the end, the barbarians couldn't hold back their greed and decided to unite to destroy the Nong's family. Who made him dare to rob, kill and sell court officials?

Qin Lang didn't take care of Guangyuan, but he proposed a new plan for Shuikou Village which had been wiped out.

"In view of the fact that Zuoxi is not very peaceful now, and now there are timbers needed to build the Daming Palace on the river, it is decided to rebuild Shuikou Village, change Shuikou to Yongkang County, and place it under the jurisdiction of Zuozhou as Zhengxian County. Xiaoxidong, which is within the sphere of influence of the surrounding Yuanshuikou, is also included in Yongkang County."

Yongkang County will be set up, and post stations, military towns and garrisons will be built.

Qin Lang's reasons were to protect the Zuoxi waterway, protect the timber of the Daming Palace, strengthen the connection between the imperial court and the Xidong prefectures in Zuoxi, etc., and even protect the trade routes.

The barbarians knew that this reason was far-fetched, but they couldn't refute it at this time.

So logically, Qin Lang established the first Zhengxian County in Zuoxi, which was named Zuozhou and was actually managed by Yongzhou. Inserted the first nail.

"Shuikou Village used to be a large village, and there are many streams around it that are also attached to the Huang family. In the past, they have often followed the Huang family to do evil. This time, the truth is not going to let them go, so let's clean them up. You guys If you want, I can hand over this task to you, as is the old rule, after you break through the creek, the land belongs to you, half of the people, money, silk and livestock are waiting for you, and half of the court."

After some discussion, the barbarian kings each withdrew.

Qin Lang occupied Fusan's barbarian mansion to rest, surrounded by soldiers and relatives, and Fusan simply moved to live in another place.

All the barbarian kings returned to their own Xidong to recruit troops and gather, and went to Guangyuan and Shuikou to grab land and people.

In the past, the barbarians often broke out some battles, but there were very few such large-scale struggles. All the dongs united to destroy two dongs.

This is an unprecedented change.

Some people are worried, others are excited.

"Are we waiting here for Zuoximan's results?" Qin Yong asked.

"Don't wait, take a rest for two days, and we will continue to go south to Wu'an Prefecture."

Breaking through Shuikou Village and attacking Guangyuan Prefecture was actually just to gain prestige. Zuoxi was more barbaric and backward. Lang had to make a strong statement and put it into action, otherwise, Qin Lang's words would not have any prestige here in the future.

For Shuikou Village, Qin Lang sent troops without saying a word, and even used the secret weapon Zhentianlei, in order to be able to destroy them quickly and achieve the deterrent effect as quickly as possible.

As for Guangyuan Nong's family, firstly, it was still far away, secondly, they were stronger, and moreover, many barbarian kings were a little afraid of Qin Lang's ruthlessness and even had other ideas, so Qin Lang needed to change his tactics.

Cut off Nongfud, and then let the barbarians bite and fight for it. The barbarians have always been barbaric, so when the piece of fat from the Nong family was thrown out, they immediately had no other hesitation and only wanted to eat meat.

As long as the barbarians destroy the Nong's family together, there will be one less force against the imperial court, and with this action, those barbarians who have benefited will have a closer relationship with Qin Lang and the court.

"Can the barbarians break through Jinlongdong?"

"Why not? Use barbarism to control barbarism. For the barbarians, the danger of the Nong family's creek is nothing. The barbarians are used to the climate and geography here, and they don't have any problems with acclimatization. , I don’t know how many times stronger it is than us going to attack.”

As for how long it will take, Qin Lang doesn't care at all.

Although he asked for half of the proceeds, he was not in a hurry to get the proceeds early or late. In fact, he wished that this battle could be fought more, so that the division among the barbarians would deepen.

When a pack of wolves fights, there will be death and injury. For those who sit on the mountain and watch the battle, it is always the best result.

Qin Lang put away his smile.

"The barbarians here are indeed too courageous. Huang Tianhu and Nong Fude are not special cases. Most of the barbarians are like this. In their eyes, there is no court and no emperor, so we are here, representing the court and the emperor. , You must show your strength, be strong, be tough, be ruthless!"

Therefore, even if Nong Fude had just presented him a piece of rare raw gold weighing 110 taels in Yongzhou not long ago, this still could not stop Qin Lang's determination to make a move against him.

More than 100 taels of bull head gold, no matter how rare it is, is worth at most ten times its weight in gold, that is, more than a thousand taels of gold, but compared to the prestige of the imperial court in Lingnan and Zuoxi, that little gold is not worth mentioning.

Take advantage of the opportunity to rest.

Qin Lang also launched regiments to train rural soldiers in Zuozhou. Each prefecture has a battalion of [-] soldiers, each county has a regiment of [-] soldiers, and each township has a regiment of [-] soldiers.He asked all the barbarian kings to organize and train the native soldiers according to this. All the barbarian kings should prepare their own weapons, choose their strength, and train them regularly.

Moreover, these township soldiers have to undertake the task of rotation. In addition to guarding the prefectures and counties, they also need to accept the transfer of the imperial court. In Guangxi Road, they go to guard post stations, official roads, Fengbao, military towns, etc. in rotation.

The barbarian kings were not very interested in this, and Qin Lang didn't care either. Things were going to be done step by step, and food had to be eaten at one bite. The village soldier plan can be done slowly. This is a long-term layout.

After staying in Chongzuo for three days, Qin Lang continued to go south.

Many ships were added to his team, and the boats were full of barbarians captured after breaking through the water mouth. These barbarians who used to like to plunder them and sell others as slaves have now all become Qin Lang's slaves.

All of them will be taken by him to Wu'an Prefecture and exiled as slaves, where they will cultivate wasteland and mines.

After crossing Chongzuo, continue up the river along Zuoxi River.

The river began to narrow, and after reaching Longzhou, there were many dangerous shoals, and many sections of the river had to be crossed by people disembarking and pulling boats on their backs.

After arriving at Qiyuan Prefecture, turn south again and enter the southern tributary of Zuoxi River. After entering Shixi Prefecture, it is no longer possible to sail.

All ships had to stop, and all the people, horses and cargo on board disembarked.

"Wei Gong, the gateway to Jiaozhou is just ahead, and that mountain is Langshan. This place is very dangerous, and it is also the only way to Jiaozhou."

Qin Lang took out the cover picture and looked at it.

"The other side of the mountain is my fief of Wu'an Prefecture, right?"

"Exactly! After passing this mountain, all the way to the Taiping River, within a few hundred miles, is Duke Wei's fief of Wu'an Prefecture!"

"Can this mountain pass be closed to the city?"

"Yes, there is a gate guarding the pass."

The gate seems to be Zhennan Pass, where a general surnamed Feng defeated the French in later generations, but it was later changed to Friendship Pass. We once came out of this pass to help the opposite side, but later these people took us aid hit us.

"The name of the gate is not majestic enough. If you change the name, just change it to Zhennanguan. This Guanwei will town my Great Tang South Gate!"

"The name Sanlang is domineering. Zhennanguan sounds much better than Menguan." Everyone praised.

Qin Lang laughed loudly, "Today, I'm going to cross Zhennan Pass, and at night, I'm going to sleep in Wu'an Prefecture!"
