723 Guangzhou Conference (2)

Faced with a very direct question, Suning had already thought of a rhetoric, after all, now Zhang Wuregret is still in their custody, after entering Guangzhou, Feng Ang did not take himself to see them but directly brought himself here, obviously, it is to give an explanation first, and then release the person, a very clear meaning, Suning can also accept it.

"This matter, in the final analysis, is also in the next thoughtless consideration, do not hide from you, that Zhang has no regrets, that is, the subordinates who were raised up in the next hand, made great contributions to the Tubo rebellion, and made a great contribution to the suppression of the Tubo rebellion by the imperial court, and he was a capable official in the next place, which promoted him to such a position, in fact, what he did was just to give some punishment to some people who did not respect the court.

You must be able to understand, ignoring the imperial court departments, ignoring the officials, ignoring the Tang Dynasty, ignoring the emperor, if this practice is not known to the emperor, then it is equivalent to not happening, but once the emperor knows about it, this kind of thing, I'm afraid there will be no emperor acceptable, if no one does something to make the emperor feel satisfied, then the emperor will personally do it, this reason, there should be no need to tell you, right? Or, do you have the strength to face the 600,000 troops of the imperial court? Suning looked at Zhang Tong and said with a smile.

Zhang Tong was stunned and didn't say anything, Feng Ang took over the topic: "Everyone, for that matter, the old man also has to say a fair word, despising the government, despising the court officials, and despising the ministers, that is not a trivial matter, if this kind of thing is caused by His Majesty the Emperor, it will not be the situation it is today." For Zhang Wuregret's things, the old man thinks that the past, let it pass! ”

Feng Ang wants to set the tone for this matter, but it is just fifty slaves, and if they die, they will die, and there are more than 10,000 servants in his Feng Ang's family, what is it to die fifty? Even if there are still people who are dissatisfied, Feng Ang is the biggest spokesperson here, even if he calls them all over. One person can't make much of a wave. Suning came over with interests, Feng Ang has already aimed at interests, as long as he puts down everything that should be put down, then. Naturally, there will be some benefits as compensation.

Qualified interest animals know this.

And then no one mentioned the fifty men anymore. As for the other clans in Jiangnan. That's not the problem to be dealt with in this batch, it's the next batch, let's get Lingnan first.

There were no objections. Everyone, what I care more about is how much autonomy the imperial court can give to Lingnan on this issue, after all, this is the core issue Since the imperial court does not intend to restore the original state, and under the current situation, it is a foregone conclusion that the imperial court will control Lingnan, so the size of the power and how to have it is the strictest question, how much can the imperial court give, and how much can it take? How are the rules of this game decided?

Suning looked at Feng Ang with a smile, and then said: "For this issue, I am the plenipotentiary below, and I can make a decision, and Your Majesty also promised the right to cut first and then play, I can make a decision, so you can talk freely about this issue, talk about what you want, and I will talk about what the court wants, and then everyone will fold it, find something that everyone can accept, set a rule, and follow it like this in the future."

So, first of all, I will give you a thorough look at the bottom of the court, this bottom is the most basic rules that everyone must abide by, first, to abide by the law, the law of the Tang Dynasty, the law of Zhenguan, absolutely can not be violated, this is undoubted, there is no need to talk about it, under this, you can get some terms and conditions yourself, but above this, there is nothing else that can be more majestic than Zhenguan law.

Second, it is necessary to pay enough taxes, which does not need to be explained below, taxes and something have been the most important from ancient times to the present, the imperial court relies on it to operate, and Lingnan is no exception, pay enough taxes, and the tax collectors of the imperial court will not collect more or less, according to the local harvest and people's income.

The third, the most simple and clear, can not rebel, this rebellion is not to say, the court must put down the rebellion, there is only one way, death, so, if you accept these three basic points, then we can continue to talk, these three points, the three chapters of the law, are absolutely not to be discussed. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Suning was still a little strange, thinking that they also wanted to talk about these conditions, but Feng Ang was a little uncertain: "Only these three?" ”

Su Ning nodded very strangely: "Yes, just these three articles, when Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, he gave the Guanzhong father and elder a most basic three chapters of the covenant, and today, on behalf of His Majesty, he will also give you a most basic three chapters of the covenant, if these three chapters are confirmed, then you can continue to talk about it, there is nothing else." ”

Feng Ang pondered for a while, and then said: "The old man thought that the imperial court would open his mouth and ask for a lot of terms, but I didn't expect the conditions to be so lenient. ”

The others then nodded, Suning was relieved, it turned out that these guys thought they would open their mouths to give them some unacceptable terms, so they smiled and said: "Since they are here to negotiate, then, naturally, they must show sincerity, the sincerity of the court is the three chapters of the covenant, these three chapters are determined, then the rest, you can talk about it at will, you can talk about any requirements, as long as you abide by the law and pay taxes and do not rebel, you can talk about the rest!" ”

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, everyone had some smiles on their faces, and Zhang Tong, who had a bad face, asked cautiously: "Is what Hou Ye Su said seriously?" ”

Suning nodded: "Seriously." ”

Zhang Tong asked, "How many officials will the imperial court send to Lingnan?" How many things to manage, apart from shipping, what else do we need to pay attention to? ”

Su Ning said: "In fact, you don't have to worry about the problems of officials, as long as you abide by the law, pay taxes on time, and do not rebel, then there is nothing to worry about, even if the imperial court sends officials, they are also in charge of government affairs, and they will not interfere with some customs inherent in the land of Lingnan, as long as they do not violate the law of Zhenguan, under the law of Zhenguan, anything can be discussed." ”

Another old man asked, "Then we will wait for the property, and we will wait for the inheritance of our ancestors." Can the imperial court guarantee safety? ”

Suning nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the imperial court absolutely protects private property, as long as the source is legitimate and taxes are paid, then those properties are clean, no one can take it away, no one can interfere, what is yours is yours, and the court will protect your property." ”

A slang man asked, "Su Hou, there are also many of us here who are not Han Chinese. Feng announcement sΓΉ us. We can come over and talk about it together, Su Hou Ye seems to have also said something about us people from other tribes, to be honest, the ancestor was from Chu during the Warring States period. To avoid the Qin soldiers. Flee here. Living with the locals, until today, the relationship with the Han people was not very good.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty. didn't have any conflict with us, and this time that Zhang Wuregret also killed some people in our clan, which made us care about these things, if what Marquis Su said was true, how would the court treat us people? What will you do with those of us who are not Han Chinese? ”

This question was finally raised, to be honest, Suning felt that this was the second most important topic today, the first important thing was about Feng An's question, Feng Ang didn't say it, Suning didn't ask, since this slang person raised the question, then Suning answered it by the way: "This question, you don't actually have to worry, no matter who it is, everyone has survived in this land so far, for many generations, hundreds of thousands of years, no one drove you away, no one will go against you."

This time, before coming out, I have already thought about some questions about your tribes in the future, first of all, it is the same as the three chapters of the covenant, whether you can accept the three chapters of the covenant proposed by the Tang Dynasty on behalf of all the tribes, this is very important. ”

More than a dozen slang representatives looked at each other, and the oldest slang nodded: "It's acceptable, but the premise is that the Tang Dynasty can't interfere in the affairs of our clan." ”

Suning nodded: "This is what we can talk about, as long as you swear to abide by the three chapters of the covenant, then everything else can be discussed, living in this land of Datang, you are the citizens of Datang, as long as you accept the three chapters of the covenant of the Tang Dynasty, then, Datang will also respect your meaning, my original idea is to set up some autonomous counties in the settlements of your people, you choose your own officials, all kinds of officials, choose out, report to the court, the court will appoint, and your own people will manage the affairs of your clan, The imperial court does not send Han Chinese officials to your autonomous counties. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the slang representatives were excited, and the oldest old man stood up at once: "Is this true? The Han representatives also looked at each other, and Feng Ang was also surprised, he didn't expect the imperial court to give such a condition, this condition is simply the goal they have been striving for!

Suning nodded very firmly: "As long as you swear to abide by the three chapters of the imperial court and do things in accordance with the three chapters of the law, then the promise I gave you is also valid, and we can sign a special treaty, written in black and white, and stamped with a seal, to show that it is completely valid."

In the future, you can elect your own officials, run your own locality, each autonomous county, give two hundred armed soldiers, protect yourself, arrest criminals, and set up several larger autonomous prefectures on top of all your autonomous counties, the officials are appointed by the imperial court, but do not interfere in your internal affairs, only responsible for tax collection, and your communication with the imperial court, and other than that, you decide for yourself. ”

Such conditions......

It's unheard of......

Feng Ang was quite surprised, not only was he administratively autonomous, but he also gave two hundred people a quota for the regular army, how could the imperial court be so generous this time? Are you really afraid that they will rebel? Is this really a condition that the emperor agreed?

"Su Hou, this, will His Majesty really agree?" Feng Ang asked uneasily, everyone also looked at Suning, waiting for his final answer, Suning smiled very confidently: "Your Majesty will agree, Benhou has already reported these basically acceptable requirements to His Majesty, and there will be results in the near future, since His Majesty has given him the power to cut first and then play, then, these decisions can be made in Xia, you don't have to worry." ”

Feng Ang's heart began to calculate, I really can't imagine it, this time the imperial court actually did this, and actually planned to give these people real autonomy, these people have been constantly oppressed by the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty, and most of the Yi people in the south are not strong in combat, basically it is easy to be defeated by the Central Plains Dynasty, conquered, and the end will be very miserable, but everyone who surrenders is ruled by the Han people, and the result is even worse, there are many Han officials who bully the Yi people and then the Yi people can't bear to kill the officials.

At this time, the Central Plains Dynasty absolutely indiscriminately ordered the suppression of the rebellion, which is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and this kind of old grudge has been very strict for a long time, and the people in the Lingnan region are also quite defensive against the Han people, but this time the Tang Dynasty actually allowed them to be autonomous, which is really incredible......

Since the conditions and requirements of the imperial court are so relaxed this time, can you also do it? Feng Ang felt that his requirements and careful thinking seemed to be fulfilled to a certain extent...... (To be continued......)
