Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 144
At the beginning of March, the prefect of Guiyang County reported that there were barbarians rebelling in the jurisdiction.

Guiyang County belongs to the southernmost part of Jingzhou, which is later known as Chenzhou City, Hunan Province.

In the northern part of the Great Sui Dynasty, in the eyes of the aristocratic families with Guanzhong and the Central Plains as the core, Hunan was the place where barbarians were born. Even in later generations, there was a joking name of "Hunan barbarians", but at that time barbarians were more referring to a kind of struggle, The spirit of being aggressive, pursuing the truth, and daring to sacrifice is commendable.

But in the Sui Dynasty, it was purely derogatory, the kind that was demoted to the family.

The Manzi of Guiyang, called Guiyangman, is the ancestor of the Yao nationality.

Jingzhou under the jurisdiction of Yang Ming is half of Hubei and half of Hunan. The whole territory of Hunan is full of barbarians.

Mainly Lingyang Man, Changsha Man, Wuling Man, Xiangzhou Man, Lingling Man, Hengyang Man, etc. They are the ancestors of Tujia, Miao, Yao, Dong and other ethnic minorities.

It is still in the semi-civilized stage, so it is not easy to mess with.

No matter in Old Chen, Old Liang, or the current Sui Dynasty, they actively encouraged Han people to enter the Manzi area to farm and work in order to promote the integration between Han and Barbarians, including the exile of criminals, all of which were concentrated in the area where Manzi was located.

Actually, it didn't work.

At present, the Han people are only concentrated in the counties and towns, and most of the remaining areas are barbarians.

In the face of barbarian rebellion, how should we deal with it?There is only one way to hurt him.

Barbarians, barbarians, are barbaric and vulgar. The system of adoptive marriage is popular in barbarian areas, that is, "where a brother dies, he accepts his wife, and when a younger brother dies, he accepts his sister's wife", which is despised by the Han people as "obscenity".

In fact, the process of civilization is much slower than that in the north. Later, after the great integration of ethnic groups, everyone is the same.

But the current Sui Dynasty cannot be integrated, because of different concepts, language barriers, and different living habits, which caused inevitable conflicts.

These people don't pay taxes, and basically belong to my territory. I am the king of the mountain, and each cottage is a mountain king.

There is intermarriage between the cottages, in order to avoid the marriage of close relatives and produce offspring with physical defects.

Ever since, the intermarriage between several villages will form a bigger king of the mountain.

This time the barbarians in Guiyang County rebelled, and they came from several barbarian villages in the surrounding mountains of Linwu County. They came down the mountain to grab food.

The grain is in the granary in the county town. Isn't it rebellion if they rob the granary?What's more, dozens of civilians were killed, and they ran away after grabbing food.

Barbarians live in the dense forests of high mountains and live in groups in villages and cottages. Once you get into the mountains, it is really hard to find.

Therefore, the barbarian rebellion has always been based on the scale. Only those with more than 3000 people will be dispatched to kill them. If the number does not exceed [-], they will generally be ignored.

Because it is not easy to suppress.

And this time the barbarians who entered the county to plunder food were only a thousand people, and they were not within the scope of sending troops.

The Great Sui Military Mansion occupied two thirds in the north and only one third in the whole south. There were very few troops in the southern mansion. If Yang Ming wanted to wipe out these barbarians, he would have to transfer troops from northern Jingzhou.

Neither Yuan Wendu nor Pang Ben suggested suppression, because in their opinion, the loss this time was not big, because the official warehouses in Linwu County did not have much grain, and most of the grain had been shipped to Jiangling and Jiangxia as early as the end of last year. Okura.

Therefore, this rebellion was also defined as a riot. Since it was a riot, there was no need to report it to the court.

One thing more is worse than one thing less. The matter in the north of Jingzhou has not been dealt with yet.

Of course, Yang Ming would not ignore the Nanman's problem, but right now, there was really no good solution. Of course, he couldn't solve the problem that the big bosses of the Great Sui Center couldn't solve.

What's more, there are more and more water bandits in the Yangtze River, Han River, Honghu Lake, and Dongting area this year.

Since Yang Ming started this year, the military government in various places was not allowed to send troops to suppress the bandits, and deliberately released water to raise fish, so that the water bandits were no longer a threat from the government soldiers, and they wreaked havoc, spreading to all the rivers and rivers in the Jingzhou area, and the merchants suffered unspeakably.

This night, after Yuan Wendu sent Xiao Xuan, Prime Minister of Jiangling County, away, he came to the inner garden to see Yang Ming:

"He left, full of complaints, complaining that the military government refused to suppress the bandits, so that his fleet lost a lot."

Xiao Xuan was born in the Xiao Clan of Lanling, and he served as a county magistrate in Jiangling County without pay. Thanks to the fact that his grandfather Xiao Ji had adopted Yang Ming's mother and concubine, he was very happy in Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

Yang Ming ate his dinner and said with a smile: "The family is big and the business is big, it won't hurt his muscles and bones. If he comes again, he will be sent away."

"Understood,"

After Yuan Wendu left, Yang Yinjiang asked curiously:

"Why don't you send troops?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Wait a little longer."

"Do you wait for the sheep to be fattened before slaughtering?"

Pei Shuying said the truth, and Yang Yinjiang suddenly realized: "This method is not bad? It can make up for the school guard's salary."

Pei Shuying, who was on the side, curled her lips and said: "It must not be that simple. This method of making money is a bit inferior, and it is very easy to be seen through. It will cause those who do the water transportation to complain that His Highness releases water to raise fish. Water transportation has official transportation and civilian transportation, and official transportation belongs to you." The Ministry of Water, one of the Fourth Departments of the Ministry of Works, is in charge of the Ministry of Water, and all the tank ships of the Ministry of Water have been robbed, if they expose the matter, it may be detrimental to His Highness."

With that said, Pei Shuying looked at Yang Ming and said, "You should understand this, so you must be harboring other bad things."

"That's right," Yang Yinjiang said to Pei Shuying, "Didn't you say last year that there must be an emergency this year? He must have other purposes, definitely not just releasing water to raise fish."

Yang Ming put down his chopsticks angrily, glared at Pei Shuying, and said:
"Last time you said that women don't talk about big things, but today they slap themselves in the face."

Pei Shuying stuck out her tongue embarrassingly: "Curiosity, if you don't want to say it, don't say it."

"If he doesn't say anything, he just treats us as outsiders." Yang Yinjiang tugged on Pei Shuying's sleeve, winked and said, "Or maybe he thinks we're just girls, so it's not worth talking about."

Pei Shuying cooperated and said: "We have overstepped, and we will never ask again."

"Okay. Since you all said that," Yang Ming sighed, looking at the expectant expressions on the two women's faces, and said, "Then don't ask any more questions from now on."

Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying froze at the same time, exactly the same,
"Ask me again, I'm a dog!" Yang Yinjiang shook her sleeves angrily and went out.

Pei Shuying covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

In fact, Pei Shuying had guessed right from the very beginning, that Yang Ming wanted to create an unexpected situation in order to report to the imperial court and use the money and food from the national treasury.

What are they used for?Of course it was banditry. Right now, water bandits are powerful and have already plundered many merchant ships.

At that time, navy ships will be needed to suppress bandits, and Yang Ming just wants to use the money from the treasury to rebuild the Xiangyang navy.

And this navy, from top to bottom, must belong to him.

　Today's Chapter 2 is a bit short. Someone in my family has sunburn. I have to take the child out to avoid it. The child is only 10 months old and can't handle it. We have a large scale of sunburn here recently. I don't know if everyone has had sunburn.
