Wu Shaocheng, who escorted the boat, said to Ban Hong that the previous Huaixi anti-autumn rebellion was caused by Wu Fachao and Zhang Chongjing's private tandem, and was confused by the Guanghong demon monks.

Hearing this request, Ban Hong was extremely evil in his heart, he knew that Chen Xianqi's entire clan had been killed, according to the temper he had when he was an envoy to the German army, he should have flipped the table and turned his face a long time ago, but the policy that the court now issued to him was "temporarily appeased", Ban Hong secretly adjusted his breathing, and said to Huaixi Zhen's envoy: "Since the rebels have been executed, then it is convenient for this envoy to reply to the imperial court. ”

The envoy claimed that there was a soldier named Su Pu in the previous autumn period, and he threw himself to the imperial court after the rebellion was suppressed, and he was afraid that he would be too talkative, so he asked the imperial court to return it to Huaixi Town.

Now that Su Pu has followed Gao Yue in Fengxiang Mansion, Ban Hong also knows what the other party's purpose is to ask for him, so he categorically refuses to say that Su Pu has entered his town military mansion, and asks Wu soldiers and horses to make him not read.

The envoy still had to argue, so Ban Hong directly told him that in order to appease the soldiers of Huaixi Town, the imperial court branch specially asked the envoy to escort 200,000 yuan, hoping that Wu Shaocheng could continue to serve the imperial court in the future.

The money was also sent, and the personnel change was also recognized, and several important officials from Huaixi Town who came to Yuncheng had nothing to say, so they said to Ban Hong that they must be sure, and the three hundred and sixty-six heads of the rebels were also counted by Ban Hong.

Ban Hong waved his hand with disgust on his face, and said no need, "Wu Bingma is good at it." ”

Waiting for half a month after the meeting of Yuncheng, the Beijing division really issued a document, first awarded Wu Shaocheng to stay for the Huaining army, and then a few days later, it was awarded Wu Shaocheng Jingjie, recognized him as the secretary of the Ministry of Inspection and Engineering, the Huaining Military Festival envoy and the history of the Caizhou Thorn, and awarded Wu Shaoyang as the inspection of the imperial history of the Cheng and Huaining Army marching Sima, the Duzhi soldiers and horses, and Li Yuanping as the judge of the inspection and criminal department of the Ministry of Justice.

When the news came, the Caizhou Military Mansion was a scene of celebration.

And Wu Shaocheng, who was beaming with joy, announced that he would give 200,000 yuan of money sent by the imperial court, and the savings of the military government to make miscellaneous money, a total of 350,000 yuan, all of which were rewarded to the tooth soldiers and town soldiers, of which each tooth soldier had 15 yuan and the town soldiers had 5 yuan each.

Tens of thousands of Caizhou soldiers, together with their families, bowed down in front of the camp and threw themselves on Wu Shaocheng's five bodies of Jingjie and tooth flags - they officially recognized Wu Shaocheng's dominance in the entire Huaixi.

It must be mentioned here that Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang are actually the same as Li Xilie at the beginning, they are out-and-out outsiders to Huaixi Town, they are all from the Pinglu army who crossed the sea to the interior of the Anshi Rebellion, and later entered Huaixi, but the Pinglu children of Huaixi Town in the previous rebellions and infighting have been completely lost, so the military heart and people's hearts that Wu Shaocheng bought are actually the local natives of Shenguangcai.

That is to say, the "public opinion representatives" in Caizhou recognized Wu Shaocheng and led them to continue the war with the imperial court.

Therefore, the secession of Caizhou or Huaixi is actually a confrontation between the local government and the central Tang Dynasty, or a confrontation between the indigenous military groups in the Shenguang Cai region and the central government.

This is true not only of Shen Guangcai, but also of other secession towns, such as Ziqing (Pinglu Army), Wei Bo (Tianxiong Army), Hengji (Chengde Army), and Youyan (Lu Longjun) - in essence, they are all local military groups dominated by Han Chinese, and there is no Huhua.

Yes, that is, the theory of "Huhua" advocated by Chen Yinke in the historical manuscripts of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the theory of "Huhua" in Fangzhen in the Tang Dynasty derived from this theory, are all pseudo concepts. As for saying that Huhua continued to the Song Dynasty and was infiltrated in the military system of the Song Dynasty, it is even more nonsense.

Now it is generally believed that there is a Huhua phenomenon in Huaixi, which is nothing more than saying that the Pinglu army that originally guarded the northern Xinjiang had Huhua, and then after the Pinglu army arrived in Ziqing and Huaixi, they turned these areas into Hu, and after a little examination, we know that these statements are completely untenable: When the Pinglu army arrived in Ziqing, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers, and 100,000 people were killed together with their families, just 20,000 people, and we also have to consider the losses caused by the death and rebellion in the battle against the Anshi rebels, and the Pinglu army was only 500 to 1,000 people who were taken to Huaixi by Li Zhongchen.

And what about the total population of Shenguang Cai Sanzhou? A conservative estimate is around 400,000.

That is to say, in Li Xilie's army that rebelled against the imperial court, only the thousand "fake sons" were regarded as Pinglu's children, and the others were all Huaixi indigenous children, or outlaws recruited from surrounding states and counties, and now Wu Shaocheng's chassis is also the same.

1,000 so-called "Huhua" or "semi-Huhua" Han soldiers (the main body of the Pinglu army is still Han people, how much degree of Huhua they have when they are punctual in northern Xinjiang, there is no trace, Master Chen Yinke according to an inscription written by Du Mu to Lu Xiucai, who was born in Fanyang, arbitrarily said that Heshuo Huhua, the Han people are prevalent in cavalry and shooting, and daring to fight is Huhua? In fact, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Han people in the border counties have practiced riding and archery, which is commonplace), and it is not common to think about it with its toes.

So why was the Caizhou area regarded as a fierce place in the Tang Dynasty, so that it repeatedly rebelled against the imperial court in the middle and later periods? In fact, it is very simple, since the Qin and Han dynasties, here and the Yingchuan area is in Luoyang, Nanyang, Jingxiang, Huainan and other rich places, has always been a place of developed commerce and trade, and is impregnated with the brave and fierce Chu culture, so Sima Qian and Ban Gu both said that Runan (Caizhou) people have a light and plagiaristic atmosphere, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because Runan was close to the political center at that time (Zaoyang, the hometown of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, relied on Runan), so it was very important to rule the local officials, which was the prevailing culture and education, and was called the head of the hundred counties. But after the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Caizhou area to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the political status is marginalized, but the military, commercial status is still prominent, the boats and vehicles converge at the same time, nourish a large number of handsome, warriors, thieves, it is a difficult place to govern, coupled with the Anshi Rebellion, the Huaishui Valley soldiers are fierce, although there is a military town after that, but the festival has always been a warrior, and finally caused Huaixi, Biansong until the Xusi area, every household has weapons and armor, some are out to rob, some are to prepare for robbery, the mountain shed is full of mountains, the river thieves are full of rivers, and the folk customs are becoming more and more fierce. In the Song Dynasty, the government still believed that although Caizhou was fertile, but the unruly customs had not changed, so it was necessary to select excellent officials to govern, but the Song and Yuan dynasties until the Ming and Qing dynasties, not only Caizhou, but the entire Jianghuai region due to frequent wars, the folk customs were more and more martial and light.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang started his business, the generals were all from Huaisi, but most of the scribes were from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it is not difficult to understand.

Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang is also the result of Huhua?

Therefore, the secession of feudal towns is the result of the imbalance of the central government's control over local power, and has nothing to do with whether it is Hu or not.

Just when Wu Shaocheng was jubilant, Li Yuanping entered and offered him several strategies for self-preservation and self-consolidation.
