back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 612
Only with pressure can there be motivation. Under the pressure of Fatty Lu, the forbidden army quickened their pace, and finally rushed to the outside of Juzhou City before nightfall.

Juzhou is in the territory of Kuizhou Road. If it is in later generations, this place will be the famous Guiyang.As for the origin of Juzhou, there is another allusion that has been spread far and wide.In the early years of Dashun, Pugui, an indigenous leader who lived in Juzhou, submitted Juzhou to the Dashun court with the control of Juzhou.Pugui reported to Taizu that he was from Juzhou in a southern dialect. Because the local words "Ji" and "Gui" sounded the same, the emperor didn't understand, so he wrote in the "Edict of Giving Pugui": "Give Yizhengbang, Huaxia and barbarians do not lead to subjugation, but Guizhou is far away from the famine. The system of the former kings, those who want to be subdued will pay tribute, and those who are desolate will enjoy. If there is no tribute, there are conquests and conquests.  …”

"Yaohuang" is what the people called the extremely distant place outside Wangji at this time. Taizu described the remoteness of Juzhou as "Weier Guizhou, far away in Yaohuang", which shows that he was not ignorant of this area.In fact, before Pugui was attached, the army of the Dashun Dynasty had already penetrated into Guobo Prefecture.There the battle was won.Some generals also suggested to take advantage of the victory at that time to use troops against Juzhou to punish him for not paying tribute.It was only because Taizu wanted to buy people's hearts with "literature" and was unwilling to use force to conquer, so the outbreak of war was avoided.

Over time, this Juzhou has two names, one is Juzhou and the other is Guizhou.And Pugui was not the first Juzhou leader to deal with the Dashun Dynasty.When the previous dynasty collapsed, Zhuse, the leader of Wuman who lived in the northwest of Juzhou, occupied Juzhou and changed his name to Heiyangqing.Zhuse's son Ruozang paid tribute to the imperial court in the fifth year of Shun Taizu Qiande, and was rewarded by Shun Taizu and was awarded the post of Guide Sige.Since Taizu Shun had granted Pugui's father an official position, he should not have mistaken Juzhou and Guizhou because of the dialect problem.

As the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, he should have known about the establishment of Guizhou in Kuizhou Road too early.But after accepting Pugui's attachment, he deliberately called Juzhou Guizhou, which only shows that in Taizu's mind, Juzhou had a relatively heavy weight, and he already had the idea of ​​changing its name in his mind.Since the pronunciations of Ju and Gui are similar in native language, it is only natural to change the name according to their pronunciation.Of course, this is also the guesswork of later generations. As for what Taizu thought, only he himself knows.

Fatty Lu only knows that troublesome people come out of the poor mountains and rivers, and the place of Juzhou is surrounded by mountains, and the agricultural products are not abundant.The disadvantage of this lack of agricultural production is that when the population increases, it will have to go hungry.What to do if you are hungry?I can only grab it.Therefore, in the area around Juzhou, almost farmers are bandits, and bandits are farmers, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish.If the imperial court exiled an official who disagreed with his political views, he would usually be in the territory of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Why is it called "Qian" again?Because of this, it belonged to Qianzhong County in the Qin Dynasty, and it belonged to Qianzhong Road in the previous dynasty, so the place occupied by the Luo family for generations was called "Qian".But after the Luo family returned to Dashun, it gradually declined, and it was no longer the same as before.Without Luo's deterrent power, these "treacherous people" are not familiar with the culture of the Central Plains. In order to fill their stomachs, they often turn into scissors and thieves, causing great harm to the local area.The terrain of Juzhou is also very important. It is located in the middle of the mountains and hills, in the watershed zone between the Yangtze River and the Pearl River.The general terrain is high in the southwest and low in the northeast.Miaoling extends across the territory, with ups and downs, denuded hills and basins, valleys and depressions.It has always been a battleground for military strategists, easy to defend but difficult to attack.The weather, location, and people are all in harmony, so it's no wonder that every household is a thief.

Fatty Lu also had a great headache because of this. Along the way, he had seen the barbarity of Guizhou, and knew that this was beyond the scope of military affairs, but depended on political governance.These "bandits" are also very smart. When the officers and soldiers came, they turned into peasants, so where did they start?

It's funny to think of how to pester the artillery instructor Zou You to ask for the artillery before the expedition.Fatty Lu is a pure general, and he covets weapons with high lethality.How could he not be jealous after seeing the power of mother-child cannons with his own eyes?It's just that Zou You, the cannon instructor, is also a "die-hard". No matter what Fatty Lu said, he just said, "Without His Majesty's imperial decree, I can't be the master of this cannon."

Fatty Lu also knew that without Lu Chengqi's will, who would dare to use such a powerful weapon?If you move, you can't say that you will be sent to prison immediately.But he was greedy, and jokingly said to Zou You: "I said, Professor Zou, you are too picky, just like a landlord and old fortune. These are not gold coins or silver coins. Why do you want to keep them?"

Zou You couldn't insert a needle or splash water, no matter what Fatty Lu said, he insisted on not letting go: "Without His Majesty's will, unless you kill me, you won't be able to take away a cannon!"

Zou You took out the little emperor as a shield, Fatty Lu was out of control, and said sourly: "Well, you won't give it, right? If I was defeated in Yunnan and Guizhou, I would write a memorial to His Majesty, you are not kind , I didn’t even give the cannon to the general, so what’s the matter? By the way, this is called a crime of non-war, and the weapon is not as good as it is..."

Zou You scolded with a smile: "Commander, don't lie to me. The gangsters in Yunnan and Guizhou are just mobs, how can they stop the imperial army? I have heard that it seems that Annan's place is not very peaceful recently. Maybe Your Majesty wants you to do it first." Go and clean up those green forest thieves, and then destroy Annan on the way, this is called false way to destroy Guo!"

Lu Chenhuan was 1 people who didn't believe it, so he sneered and said: "I have been on the war for more than a year, and your Majesty has to think of favors, let me go back to see my wife, how can there be such a reason for employing people?"

Zou You smiled and said nothing, Fatty Lu hit a snag, knowing that there was nothing to gain, so he could only soak a few boxes of black, iron melon-like things, and set off.

Now that I think about it, it's a good thing I didn't get the son-mother cannon, otherwise I would have killed myself on this rugged mountain road.After entering Guizhou, there are continuous mountains and very few flat lands.Think about the two-horse cannon weighing several hundred catties, and it would take two horses and horses to keep it still.On this mountain road, if you are not careful, you will fall down.It doesn't matter if the horse is dead. If the cannon is damaged, Fatty Lu will meet his end. No matter how beautiful the battle is, it will probably be worthwhile.

While Fatty Lu was thinking, the Governor of Juzhou in the city of Juzhou sent someone to invite Lu Chenhuan to come to his house for a gathering.

Fatty Lu is not acclimatized these days, he has been stretched so badly, he has lost a lot of weight, he heard that there is something delicious, how can he let it go?After repeatedly agreeing, he hurriedly straddled the simple knife and followed into Juzhou City.

The governor of Juzhou is from the Yi family, which has almost become customary.Since Qiande in Dashun, the indigenous leader of the Yi family has been serving as the governor of Juzhou, and the imperial court has never sent officials over.But the Yi family has a new candidate, so they only need to report to the court, and the court will send people to "investigate" it, and if they think it is all right (usually they just go through the motions and spend some money to manage it), they will report back to the court.The emperor couldn't see it in person, so he could only sign the appointment.

The person who greeted Lu Chenhuan at the governor's mansion was a man in traditional clothes of the Yi family. Judging from his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was the governor of Juzhou.This is also the characteristic of Juzhou. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, which is equal to a country within a country.All the big and small things in the city of Juzhou are handled by this man, just like the emperor of the earth.It is also the only official who works in the Yamen and does not wear the official uniform of the court, right?
This is how rare and strange Fatty Lu is. When he saw a camel, he insisted that his horse's back was swollen.Not to mention that this is the case in Juzhou, but most of the places in Dian and Guangnan West Road are like this.

The governor of Juzhou cupped his hands, and said heartily: "The general came from a long way, and I, Luo Suce, made a mistake to meet him, and I hope to forgive my sin!" This man's words had a very strong local accent, and he was used to "official dialect". Fatty Lu frowned slightly.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, it's all just doing business according to the order, the governor is too polite." Fatty Lu complimented him, and at the same time glanced at the governor's mansion.It has to be said that the buildings in Juzhou are somewhat different from those in the Central Plains, and there are many things that Fatty Lu has never seen.

Seeing Fatty Lu's strange eyes, Juzhou Inspector Luo Suce smiled and said, "General, please come inside!"
