"In the sixth year of the Heavenly Sage, the princes of Jiaozhi and the Jiatong Zhitong Jiachenggui Kou slightly Yongzhou borderland, disturbing the place. In a few days, the inspection of the school Taishi, the Jing Navy Festival Envoy, and the Nanping King Li Gongyun died, and the court mourned with Jiaozhi, and did not punish it severely for a while, but comforted it with warm words. The new king can be deeply afraid of himself, restrain the locality, and take the peace of the border as a blessing.

Since the succession of Li Dezheng, he has been awarded the title of Inspector Tai Lieutenant, Jing Navy Jie Du Envoy, Annam Protector, Jiaolu County King, and Xinjia Tongzhongshu Men Ping Zhang, the grace of the court is not deep, and he should abide by his duty. However, since his succession to the throne, there has been no peace in the border riots, and he has been rewarded by the imperial court.

The kingdom is like a loving father, the family is like a child, and the ministers of Jiatong are handsome, so they are not the grandsons of the Great Song Dynasty? Then I am the people of the Song Dynasty, and I am actually an uncle of Jiatong, and I should be respectful. However, his conceit is strong, and he has been at the border for many years, and he is not polite and unethical, which can be described as a wolf with ambition.

In March of the seventh year of Tiansheng, 235 soldiers and civilians of Jiatong harassed the border villages and disturbed agricultural affairs.

In April of the seventh year of Tiansheng, six soldiers from Jiatong entered the subordinate villages of Luzhou, and the small people were not allowed to weed the rice fields.

In June of the seventh year of Tiansheng, 68 people were killed in Jiatong, and 11 people were injured in the village of Kouluoxi Pingzhou, and five stones of rice were grabbed, two fat pigs, and one buffalo.

……

In May of the tenth year of Tiansheng, 236 people attacked Shixi Prefecture, with a population of 23 people, 51 injured people, 8 stones of rice, 3 buffaloes, and countless chickens and ducks.

Compared with recent years, there is no day of tranquility on the border, and the people are frightened every day, and countless property is looted.

To raise Zuojiang Daoxitong and guard the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, how can the people under his rule suffer from this. From now on. Inform the nail and the cochin. Restrain subordinates. No recurrence of incidents. Under the rule of the people, if they encounter thieves from abroad to rob, such as those who have the ability to fight and capture thieves, whether they live or die, catch one person or get a corpse, and the reward is five times. If you are not able to fight, Pegasus will report to the government and will not be delayed. ”

The following is the payment of Xu Ping Zuojiang Road Lifting Division.

Xu Ping has seen it. grabbed the pen and added: "The government is the parent of the people, how can they sit back and watch their subordinates be poisoned by this?" We can't ignore things like this! ”

After writing it, I thought about it for a while, crossed out the last sentence, and changed it to: "How can my generation sit idly by!" ”

Then he handed it to the person who sent it, and said: "The writing is still written in crepe, and then changed it to be more simple." It's not as good as your Fujian Road, and there are not many literate people. It's incomprehensible to go around. Besides, there are not many readers in that place, and they don't understand it even if you write deeply. ”

The name of the person wearing the long shirt is Tan Peiyuan. was originally a teacher in Fujian, and by chance he followed someone else to the cane sugar business, because of the hard pen, he was recruited by Xu Ping this time. I thought that the officials who followed the promotion had a chance to show their faces, and they wanted to write some splendid articles, but I never expected that Xu Ping asked him to write as white as possible, and there was nowhere to play with the ink in his stomach, and he almost suffocated his internal injuries, but he didn't expect Xu Ping to let him be white again.

Depressed to take the manuscript, Tan Peiyuan asked, "What else does the official have to explain?" ”

"That's it, if you change it, you will have people typeset and print, and my official seal will be used on the proclamation, and it will be pasted in all the villages under my rule, and I will send someone to read it out again."

Tan Peiyuan responded and took the manuscript back to change it.

This kind of notice must be posted all over the countryside, that is, it can be printed with movable type, otherwise the transcription will tire people to death.

Sang Yi stood aside and watched, and when he saw Tan Peiyuan leaving, he said to Xu Ping: "This method is still good, the barbarians in the nearby mountains have not had much awareness of the court since ancient times, this time give them a head, and these notices can also make them return to the court." ”

"That's what it means, otherwise why bother."

Xu Ping can't help it, Guangyuan Prefecture is not light to offend himself, and if he has the strength not to retaliate, what is the difference between his official deserve and salted fish? Besides, this is also a matter of eliminating hidden dangers for the imperial court, expanding the territory, and killing two birds with one stone. But in those years, the rulers of the court didn't think so, they only thought that the wife was peaceful, and it was strictly forbidden for the magistrates to provoke the side, and they didn't care if they were justified in the court. Without the support of the imperial court, they had to win the support of the local people, and the people here did not have the orthodox concept of the Central Plains, so they could only use this crude method to mobilize them in the shortest possible time. As for how effective it will be, let it be fate.

Sang Yi smiled: "No one else has done this kind of thing, maybe it will work wonders." By the way, since this time I went to Guangyuan Prefecture, why did I just announce Jiatong and not mention Guangyuan Prefecture? ”

"Jiatong is just harassing, if he can restrain himself from the precipice after seeing the notice, and he can live in peace in the future, the notice will be useful. Guangyuan Prefecture has openly rebelled, and it is in vain to say that cutting off his head is serious. ”

Saying this, Xu Ping still has an unspeakable reason in his heart. Ah Shen was taken by Huang Conggui to Jiatong, and Xu Ping negotiated several times, but he just didn't let him go, and he couldn't explain to Duan Fang's father and daughter.

The road has been passed to Pingxiang Mountain, taking advantage of the rainy season to repair the south pass of the town, and then repair the road there, there are enough cards in hand. When the time comes, when Guangyuan Prefecture is pacified, Jiatong will no longer have a look, and Xu Ping will not mind leveling it too. After breaking the Jiatong and stabilizing Langzhou, the Great Song Dynasty controlled this important passage.

Due to the large amount of money and grain paid by the sugar industry in the past two years, the garrison of Yongzhou has increased year by year, and although the forbidden army is still less than 200 people, the Xiang army has reached more than 7,000 people.

If it is in the plain area in the north, the troops of more than 7,000 people will not make much trouble, but it is different here in Yongzhou, except for Dali and Jiaozhi, crushing the small forces of all parties.

In the past, the transportation was inconvenient, and the Central Plains Dynasty could not dispatch a large army in the direction of Yongzhou, and most of the military operations against Jiaozhi relied on the sea route, taking the mouth of the Taiping River and going upstream. Although there were also military operations in the Yongzhou direction, most of them were used as odd soldiers and could not support large troops.

The years are long, although there will be stories of the Central Plains Dynasty attacking from Yongzhou in the legends, such as Pingxiangtong, where there is the Temple of General Ma Yuan of the Later Han Dynasty Fubo, and the Temple of the Righteous Lady Ban who supports Ma Yuan, but these are not true. Ma Yuan's time was that the waterways of the Taiping River had not even been explored, and they were actually walking along the coast.

Before the Tang Dynasty, there were only tribes in the Jiaozhi region, and the army of the Central Plains Dynasty went straight up along the waterway without anyone to stop, as long as they crossed the sea safely, Jiaozhi could count the days and go down. After the Tang Dynasty, Jiaozhi had a unified regime, and it was possible to organize troops to resist along the Taiping River, and it was extremely difficult to attack by water.

In the future, successful military operations against Jiaozhi, such as Guo Kuiping's Jiaozhi during the time of Shenzong, were to march from Yongzhou along the land route, and the waterway was only a partial division, which did not play a big role.

However, the terrain of Yongzhou is complex, the roads are rugged and narrow, and only people can pick up horses, and the cost of supporting the war is incredible, and it requires the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty to move the country, which is also the reason why the Song Dynasty can fight down but cannot hold it.

The Song people often said: "Today's division, a soldier's line, and a husband's gift can only be used for seven days." "A soldier with a special supply can only last for seven days, and this is still in the northern region, and it has more than doubled here in Yongzhou. Of course, this is talking about a back and forth, if you press a one-way trip, it will be 14 days, but it is an all-or-nothing gamble.

Yongzhou to Pingxiang 500 miles of mountain road, one-way will be nearly a month, one soldier and two husbands are not enough, if Pingxiang did not store grain and grass in advance, a soldier will be equipped with five husbands. For 10,000 soldiers, 50,000 people will be sent to transport supplies, plus the army that protects the grain road, 70,000 or 80,000 people are indispensable. There are only more than 200,000 households in the entire Guangnan West Road, and to support the military operation of 10,000 people, it is necessary to draw out the strong men. That is, the grain and grass are not collected from the locality, and all of them are transported from abroad, and these strong men will be wasted for farming. As long as this kind of battle is fought for a year, the blood of the entire Quang Nam West Road will be drained, and it may not be able to recover for one or two decades.

Guo Kui's army of 100,000, according to the custom of the Song Dynasty, was 20,000 or 30,000 heavy soldiers. In addition, there are more than 200,000 people brought from Jiangnan and Jinghu alone, and with the people recruited from Lingnan, the support force will be 450,000 people. With such a huge army, when it arrived at the city of Thang Long Mansion, the capital of Cochin, it was also the end of Lu Min, and he could only accept the surrender of the king of Cochin, but could not take the county and his land.

In the past two years, Xu Ping's cane sugar business has built a large water conservancy, reclaimed many paddy fields in the river valley, and supplemented it with corn grown on dry land, and the grain in Zuojiang Province has been greatly rich, and the savings of a few years can be tossed for a period of time.

Yongzhou now has more than 7,000 Xiang troops, Feng Shenji in Youjiang Province has 1,500 people in Hengshanzhai, Yongzhou City and other pass post stations have 1,000 people, and Xu Ping has more than 4,000 people here because of the border with Jiaozhi.

With a regular army of more than 4,000 people, Xu Ping then transferred township soldiers from the sugar industry to supplement the 5,000 soldiers, which had an absolute advantage over both Jiatong and Guangyuan Prefecture. With the road, there is no problem with the supply of these armies, not to mention the carriages and ox carts, only a small cart pushed and pulled by two people, and it is easy for a civilian man to support two soldiers.

In the midst of these mountains, the road is the passage of life, and if there is no road, it must be filled with human life.

As the Tao of cane sugar business expands, the world inside the mountain will be the outer realm again.

Xu Ping looked at the huge map hanging on the wall and leaned on the back of his chair in contemplation. Pingxiangtong now has Zhongrui and Guang'an commanding soldiers and horses one step at a time, and the other local commanders of the original Jingjiang Army are slowly concentrating here. This year, 3,000 people from the Fujian Xiang Army who were newly discharged from military service, as well as 5,000 people who were skilled in the sugar service, a total of 8,000 people, have also slowly gathered around here to build roads and open fields, and the area around Pingxiang will also become a sugar producing area next year. With these people here, Pingxiang will be unbreakable from now on. In the past, it was Jiaozhi and Jiatong who took advantage of their proximity to the plain area to constantly squeeze the Great Song Dynasty, and with the sucrose business, it was the other way around.

This year, the share of the three divisions of the cane sugar business is 35 million catties, which is basically the same as last year, and Xu Ping also has spare time to solve some thorny problems around him.

Such a share is not that the three divisions have become kind, and the three divisions have made Chen Lin a shrewd person, and found that because the sugar has poured into the mainland too quickly in the past two years, the price has fallen sharply, and the speed of sugar sales has been deliberately slowed down.

Xu Ping also found a new way, from Yongzhou down the Yujiang River to Guangzhou, where sugar was sold overseas. The income of the city division is higher than that of the mainland, and the three divisions are also optimistic, and Xu Ping is making trouble.

In the tenth year of Tiansheng, Yongzhou can be described as politically harmonious and internally calm, and the power developed in recent years has begun to extend to the outside.
