Today is the birthday of the little brother of "Linghai Tingtao", and the friends in the group wish him a happy birthday.

Cangshan has nothing to give you, so I'll add a change to you tomorrow.

It's a birthday, let's have fun together!

......

————

Tang Yi looked at the entire 50,000 soldiers in the battalion, and the anger was a little uncontrollable.

That's right, a full fifty thousand!

In just one year, Yazhou's military strength has grown from 20,000 old and weak soldiers at the beginning to 50,000.

No!

With the 5,000 sailors that Zeng Gongliang just sent, it is already 55,000.

Among them, only 10,000 are the forbidden army brought by the Shi brothers, and the other 10,000 are the old department of the Leizhou Navy Army.

The rest of the more than 30,000 were all brought by Brother Yanda to help Tang Yi win over the Litong tribes in Hainan during this year.

The current Yazhou is not the time when Tang Yi first came, and there are only more than 8,000 people of the Yanda tribe. Now in the new city, more than 100,000 people have gathered.

Among them, Lao Tzu and most of the women devoted themselves to the construction of the new city, while a small number of men remained in the clan, and most of them went to the barracks to serve as soldiers.

These Li men, who are accustomed to fighting against nature, are not unaccustomed to militarized life, but are more satisfied with life in the army than the Han people.

Because Tang Yi's military salary is high enough, as long as there is one soldier in a family, it is enough to support the family. Coupled with the simple and pragmatic characteristics of ethnic minorities, they are more obedient and able to train harder than Han soldiers in the barracks.

In less than a year, these more than 30,000 Li soldiers have begun to take shape. It can be said that there will be no shame in pulling it out.

"How?" Tang Yi smiled proudly at Yang Wenguang. "Didn't disappoint your uncle, did you?"

"This ......" Yang Wenguang is not disappointed, it is simply a surprise.

"Why are they all big faces?"

"The palace marshal doesn't know anything." But it was Cao Tong who took over the conversation. "The people of the Li Tong people have the custom of nirvana."

"They stabbed beast gods and ancestral heroes in the face, not only to hide themselves in the jungle, but also to show respect for the ancestors of the gods."

"Moreover, the more brave and warlike the clan, the more tattoos will be on their faces."

"Tattoos are the glory of the Li people."

"I see." Yang Wenguang realized. "In other words, it's all Li people here?"

"There are very few Han Chinese." Cao Tong replied truthfully. "Except for the 10,000 people brought by the Shi brothers, the rest are basically Li people."

"Didn't Zeng Gongliang send 10,000 sailors?"

Cao Tong smiled bitterly, "Most of the Leizhou naval forces are also recruited from the local area, so Li and Zhuang are the majority. ”

Yang Wenguang listened to it and was slightly disappointed.

No matter how good the source of soldiers is, they are all soldiers, and they are not used by Han soldiers!

Tang Yi seemed to see through Yang Wenguang's thoughts, "Uncle must remember!" ”

"Uh, what's in mind?"

Tang Yi continued with an extremely serious face: "In Yazhou, there is no distinction between Han and Li people. ”

"There is only one title - Song people!"

This is the foundation of Tang Yi's foothold in Yazhou, and even the foundation of Tang Yi's entire goal, and there is absolutely no room for any doubt.

......

A long time ago, Tang Yi and Fan Zhongyan talked about this issue.

What was the root of the Nong Zhigao rebellion back then?

The root is: the Great Song Dynasty does not recognize Nong Tong as a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for this exclusivity, the tragedy in Quang Nam would not have happened.

And Tang Yi wants to achieve his lofty goal, whether he will be the people of Fan under the rule of the Han people or the Song people under the rule of the imperial court in the future...... The difference is huge!

......

Seeing that Yang Wenguang was a little embarrassed by what he said, Tang Yi felt a little guilty in his heart.

"When my uncle first arrived in Yazhou, he still didn't know, and he will understand Yizhi's hard work in the future."

I was very happy, but I was a little lacking in interest in such a fuss.

hurriedly said goodbye, let Yang Wenguang stay in the barracks to settle with Cao Jue and others, and he was ready to go back with Uncle Cao Guo and Lao Jia.

When he walked to the camp gate, he saw that the farmland on the edge of the barracks was busy farming, which reminded Tang Yi of something.

When I turned around, I called Xiucai.

"You go and call Songnon and his son to me."

Xiucai looked suspicious, and said in his heart, what do you want these two people to do?

However, Tang Yi spoke, Xiucai didn't ask much, but returned to the team, and brought two Nirvana Li people over after a while.

Tang Yi saw the two of them and greeted with a smile: "Old Songnon clan, are you still used to it here?" ”

Songnon wrung his brows, and didn't reply to Tang Yi's words, but looked at his son Songji.

After Songji said a Li dialect, Songnon stretched his brows and bowed to Tang Yi again and again.

"My father said, thank you for your concern! Good food, good sleep, everything is fine. ”

Tang Yi replied with a smile: "It's good!" ”

"I called you here because I need to ask your father for advice."

"You come with me."

As he spoke, he took the lead out of the barracks, and did not go back to the new city, but turned a corner and went straight to the farmland.

Uncle Cao Guo followed a little strangely.

This Songnong came from the Li village in Changhua, and he couldn't speak Chinese, so he had to be translated by his son.

Moreover, Uncle Cao Guo knew that Songnon was one of the few tribes that did not move their entire clan to Yazhou.

In Hainan, some Li villages live hunting, and where there is prey, they will move the village. Therefore, Yazhou has food to eat, so they naturally move to Yazhou without saying a word.

However, there are also Li villages, like the Han people, who take agriculture as the head.

For example, this Songnon village on the edge of Changhua is because there are few mountains and many fields in Changhua, and they have been farming for generations and settled near Changhua.

At the beginning, Yan Da invited them to live in Yazhou on behalf of Tang Yi, but Songnong was reluctant to land and couldn't afford the high salary of being a soldier.....

You must know that even though there is land to plant, the cultivation level of the Li people is still very primitive, and the harvest must not be worry-free, and the unscrupulous military salary can really solve many problems in the village.

Therefore, they only sent a part of the young adults to Yazhou to serve as soldiers, and the rest of the tribesmen stayed in Changhua to continue farming.

In this case, not only the Songnon family, but also many Li villages north of the big island are like this.

Now, Tang Yi just called Songnon out, and Uncle Cao Guo couldn't think of what he was going to do for a while.

......

Tang Yi came to the edge of the field and grabbed a farmer to help him spread the word.

Not long after, a steward in charge of agricultural affairs came to Tang Yi's side with a group of people.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Yi grinned: "How is it?" Everyone, don't come here unharmed? ”

Well, the group of people in front of them is the old family of the gang that Tang Yi captured as coolies.

If it weren't for the fact that when he passed by Qiongzhou a few days ago, Delahai's family asked him for people, and he really forgot about these people.

"Have you had a comfortable year?"

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, Tang Yi asked for a long time, but no one replied.

Finally.

Delahai, Chagan, and Dewang fell to their knees with a thud, and tears began to fall.

Deirahai, choking non-stop:

"Your Highness...... Your Highness finally remembered us. ”

At the beginning, he said that he would do it for a year, but a year and a half had passed, and Delahai thought that he would never go back.

Tang Yi was a little embarrassed when he said this, "All the old people...... Great ......."

Looking at Drahai and said, "This king has promised your family to let you go back, and you can leave now." ”

Delahai didn't react, staring at the beads of confusion for a moment, "I...... Can I go? ”

"You can go."

Looking at the kneeling piece on the ground, "You can go too!" ”

"However, there is one thing that the king said ahead, if you do some bullying and dominating the market in the future......"

"Don't dare, don't dare!!" didn't wait for Tang Yi to finish speaking, all the old people kowtowed again and again. "I'm going to change my life and be a new person!"

"That's it!"

Tang Yi didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, "Get out!" Pack up, go to the dock to find a boat along the way, and go back by yourself. You don't need me to send it, right? ”

"No, no, no ......"

Everyone got up and ran, for fear that this madman would change his mind, how could he dare to let him send it?

"Chagan, you're back!"

"Ah...... Yes? ”

Chagan, who had already run out several feet away, stopped Tang Yi with a cold drink.

As soon as he turned around, his tongue curled, "Palace, what else does Your Highness command?" ”

"Don't go, go back and bring the family to Yazhou, just stay in Yazhou!"

"Don't!" Chagan almost didn't cry.

For a year and a half, he was like a dog, obedient.

"Your Highness can't be so small!"

Tang Yi glanced at Cha Gan with disdain, "Look at your little bit of interest!" ”

"Don't worry, you don't have to work as a coolie if you stay! This king gives you a way to live, which is a hundred times stronger than you are in Changhua and Zhanshan as king. Do you want to do it? ”

"What's the way out?"

"What so much nonsense, you just say you can't do it!"

"!! Dry!! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for cultivating!"

The latter sentence was said crying, and he didn't dare to say it.

"Just do it." Nodding in satisfaction.

"Alright, you can go down too! In a few days, I will take your family over and reunite you. ”

......

After sending him away to check the gan, Tang Yi turned around and looked at Songnon and Songji father and son with suspicious faces.

"Brother Songnong, you have also seen it, the old Chagan of Changhua was left behind by me."

"How? If I hand over Changhua City to your Songnon tribe, can you take care of it for me? ”

Songnon didn't understand, but still waited for his son to translate.

But after listening to this, Songji's eyes widened, and when he translated it to his father, his voice trembled a little.

Changhua City!

Doesn't that mean that their Songnon tribe has a city, and they are all big clans?

No, after listening to his son's translation, Songnon didn't think about it, and immediately waved his hand at Tang Yi.

Meaning: "No, no, since Changhua has no capital chief, it is natural that the emperor of the Central Plains sent a Han master to take charge, they are rough people, and they can't enter the city." ”

After listening to Songji's translation, Tang Yi laughed loudly, "There is nothing that cannot be entered." ”

"In the barracks just now, I have already said that whether it is a Han or a Li person, it is all Song people!"

"The Song people naturally enter the city of the Song people, and they can also manage the city of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"That's it!"

Tang Yi has no doubts, "Go back and send a letter to your eldest son, and I will send a few more competent people to help him take care of it." ”

"Changhua, in the future, the Songnon clan will be in charge!"
