Tongzhi disappeared, and although Yang Buwei had been handed over the crime he committed, until now, he still has not received any reply from the Lingnan governor, and the memorial he handed over seemed to have disappeared into the sea.
Regarding the matter of Tujia Fort, if Ling Yun did not go there in person, he could not help but murmur in his heart, but he felt uneasy about letting Feng Hexu manage the yamen.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to let Zhang Wu sit in charge of the prefecture government office, and at the same time ask Yang Wuliang to assist. If Feng Hexu made any small moves, he could be notified immediately.
After explaining the matter clearly, he safely led Guo Yixiu and others to Shangsi County.
Lingyun couldn't get rid of the army, so he could only organize the yamen servants under the yamen. But Guangxin City also needed manpower, and the number of people it could evacuate was only a few dozen.
He had no choice but to send a letter to Nangong Zheng, asking him to gather in Shangsi County, and at the same time telling him not to reveal his identity in case of emergency.
Shangsi County is in the south of Nanyi Prefecture. There is a river that can be flowed down. Lingyun boarded a boat and went south. You can see many small fishing boats on the river coming and going. The people on the boats were all smiling and laughing. It must have been a good harvest.
Looking up, there are mountains on both sides of the river, winding and circling, with peaks and peaks. Looking down, the clear water is like a mirror, with graceful reflections. The scenery on both sides of the river is like a hundred-mile gallery.
Looking towards the shore, there were mostly houses in the mountains and wilds, but the houses with thatched eaves were looming under the clouds and mist. Ling Yun felt relaxed and happy, and couldn't help but praise, "What a beautiful scenery!"
All the way south, I felt that the scenery along the way was very pleasant, but when I thought about Tujia Fort, I was filled with sadness.
After finally destroying Heiyun Village and the Yang Mansion, we haven't had time to rectify the people in Guangxin City who were in league with Yang Buwei. Now, something like this has happened again, which is really annoying.
It took nearly an hour and a half by boat to arrive at the pier in Shangsi County. I got on the pier, got on the carriage and walked for nearly half an hour before arriving at the gate of Shangsi County.
For safety reasons, Ling Yun ordered plainclothes people to go out. Therefore, when they entered the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city did not recognize them. They asked for the approximate location of the Shangsi County Yamen and went directly to them.
When he arrived at the yamen gate, he directly revealed his identity. When the yamen servant saw the Zhizhou token, he trembled, looked up at Ling Yun, and immediately ran in, trembling.
In a moment, a person ran out of the yamen. Ling Yun caught a glimpse of his official uniform and knew that this dark-skinned, bloated middle-aged man was the magistrate of Shangsi County, and the yamen guard who just ran in was also following behind him.
.
It is understood that the magistrate of Shangsi County, whose surname is Chen and named Xing'an, is from Lingnan. He was born in the same year as the Jinshi in the second year of Qianxi's reign. Lingyun did not know the details of the state capital of Lingnan.
When Chen Xing'an came to the door in confusion and saw Ling Yun and his party, he was immediately confused and at a loss because the people standing in front of him were all young people and did not look like Zhizhou at all.
When he was panicking, he calmed down and asked, "Your Majesty, Chen Xing'an, which Lord Zhizhou do you dare to ask?"
Yang Sanniu moved when he heard the sound, took a step forward, looked at Chen Xing'an and introduced, "This is my young master, the governor of Nanyi."
"oh!"
Chen Xing'an was startled and dumbfounded, but he couldn't care less about the surprise at the moment. He hurriedly raised his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, Chen Xing'an, has met Mr. Zhizhou."
"Um!"
Ling Yun's expression was indifferent, he just nodded without saying anything.
But even so, Chen Xing'an did not dare to neglect at all. Instead, he became more enthusiastic and invited Ling Yun into the county government office and poured a cup of tea himself.
Ling Yun took a sip of tea and went straight to the point, "Do you know why I am here?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Xingxin was trembling with fear. Knowing that Ling Yun's trip was to ask for punishment, he hurriedly stood in front of Ling Yun, bowed his body, and said with sincerity and fear, "Go back to your lord, I know this."
Ling Yun glanced at him, without a smile and with an extremely serious expression, "Since you know, what are you waiting for? Why don't you tell me the whole thing in detail soon."
Chen Xing'an's whole body was trembling, and his tongue felt as if it had been scalded by boiling water. He hesitated, "It's my lord, I'm the official... I'll say it now, I'll say it now."
After Chen Xing'an's explanation, Ling Yun finally learned that Tujia Fort had actually always had disputes with nearby people, but in the past it was just minor frictions that did not cause such large casualties.
As for why such a big dispute occurred, Chen Xing'an couldn't tell for the time being.
Then Chen Xing'an learned that Tujia Fort is actually not just one ethnic group, but several ethnic groups living together. There are about 50,000 to 60,000 people in the fort, and no more than 100,000 at most.
Of course, this data is just the guesswork of local people in Shangsi County. In fact, no one knows how many people there are in Tujiapu. Because of the language barrier with Tujiapu, it is difficult for people in Shangsi County to get in and understand the real situation.
The Tu and Zhuang ethnic groups are the most powerful in the Tujia Fort, and the fort chief was born between these two ethnic groups. Coincidentally, it was the Tu ethnic group who had a dispute with Liujiacun.
Although Tujia Fort is located in Nanyi Prefecture and nominally belongs to the Daqian Dynasty, in fact they do not obey the orders of the local officials of the Daqian Dynasty, but the orders of the clan leader.
In Tujia Fort, the fort chief is the largest, followed by the clan chief.
This makes Tujia Fort a different kind of existence in Nanyi Prefecture. Local officials can't control it, and they usually have to prevent them from causing unrest. Like this time, they directly led the tribesmen to beat the people of Liujia Village after a disagreement. This has already happened in the local area.
cause complaints.
If you continue to condone them and don't hold them accountable, it will inevitably cause panic. I'm afraid it will cause turmoil and make the people of Nanyi no longer trust the local government's capabilities.
In the current situation, whether it is to intimidate the people in Liujia Village, or to appease the people of Liujia Village, or for other purposes, Lingyun must ask Tujiabao to give him a reasonable explanation. If Tujiabao insists on not giving it, he will hit him if he asks.
Until he gives it.
Of course, harmony is the most important thing in everything.
If possible, solve the problem through peaceful means.
Ling Yun had a doubt in his heart. Tujia Fort did not obey the management of local officials. The imperial court should send troops to surrender. However, he found that neither the local officials nor the Daqian Dynasty had this idea. Instead, they let it go and ignored it. It seemed that
I don't care about Tujiapu's problems.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yun couldn't help but ask, "Master Chen, since this Tujia Fort does not obey my orders, why don't you report it to the governor so that he can send troops to surrender?"
Chen Xingan was stunned for a moment, looked at him in surprise, and remained silent.
Then he shook his head and said helplessly, "You don't know, the existence of Tujia Fort is not only a thorn in my Lingnan Province, but also a heartache in my heart. It's not that we don't want to surrender, but actually surrender."
No."
