Qingyufang is neither a neighborhood nor a wine shop, but a very famous theater in Kaifeng City. It is located on the bank of the Bian River. Over the years, famous actors have gathered together. Since the completion of the new Kaifeng, it has been filled with the sound of silk and bamboo almost day and night.
, the sound of laughter.
We are in an elegant room facing the river. We can clearly see the water outside through the window. We can have a panoramic view of the boats passing by on the Bianhe River and the people moving on both sides. Although it seems noisy, this kind of prosperous
The scene is still intoxicating.
There is an orchid in thin clothes, dancing enchantingly, showing a graceful figure, sitting at the table, accompanied by a beautiful woman, speaking softly, lowering her eyebrows to please her eyes, serving wine respectfully, asking for everything...
Life like this was nothing new for Zhao Yanjin. He had already settled down. He had many beauties in his family and had a lot of experience in Yangzhou.
Therefore, this visit to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion was not for entertainment or to release one's natural instincts, but mainly to entertain guests. To be the guest of the Duke of Shaanxi, one's status is certainly not ordinary.
Opposite him was a strong man with a muscular body and a rugged face. His face was red from drinking, but his eyes were fixed on Hu Ji, whose belly was half exposed and ogling him. This kind of plump figure, charming temperament, and exuding a wild spirit
Hu Nu is full of temptations for a man like him. This person is Qin Zaixiong, the envoy of the Pingqian Army and the leader of the Yao tribe. This is his third visit to the capital since he entered the capital that year and surrendered to the imperial court.
.
"Although we girls from the Yao family are also beautiful, it is still rare to have such a charming look!" Qin Zaixiong said to Zhao Yanjin with his drunken eyes shining brightly.
When Qin Zaixiong first arrived in Tokyo, it was Zhao Yanjin who was ordered to accompany him to eat, drink and play. After all, a friendship was formed between the two. When they got drunk, the feud started. Qin Zaixiong said to Zhao Yanjin: "I'm going to
The first time I went to Beijing, I wanted to find Brother Zhao, but I learned that Brother Zhao was working in Yangzhou. I couldn't meet him, which was a pity. Now that we meet again, he has become a general, with a title of Duke, which is too high to reach!"
Over the years, Qin Zaixiong, a Yaoman, has obviously learned a lot of Chinese culture, and his speech seems to be refined. Sensing his envious tone, Zhao Yanjin smiled and said: "I am just lucky enough to inherit my father's protection and favor. In terms of merit,
But it's still far away. In comparison, Brother Qin is still working hard and reaching the heavens. As long as he makes some more achievements, he will be promoted to a noble title sooner or later!"
Hearing what Zhao Yanjin said, Qin Zaixiong couldn't help but smile. These years, his life in Hunan has been extremely nourishing. In addition to forming and commanding the Pingqian Army, more importantly, relying on the imperial court, he was recruiting the Man Yao people in western Hunan.
He has made considerable contributions to people's affairs.
Because of his fame in his early years, and the fact that he led his people to join the imperial court, their livelihoods improved, which also attracted young people from various states to rush to join him. Of course, Li Jun's iron-fisted oppression in the local area was indispensable.
As for Qin Zaixiong himself, he had a meteoric rise, winning awards from the imperial court and the support of his tribesmen, which could be described as multiple gains in fame, wealth, and power.
Therefore, the results of recruitment in recent years have been remarkable. Although there are still a large number of barbarians and Yao people who still adhere to the old living habits, they also recognize the rule of the Han Dynasty over them. However, the nearly one hundred thousand people have completely surrendered.
The lack of civilians in the imperial court is also a big gain, especially for the Jinghu government. It can be said that the results of assimilation are remarkable, and the process of Sinicization has once again taken a big step forward.
Although most of the officials responsible for management came from the original clan leaders and chiefs, for the people of Man Yao, there was no fundamental change in the ruling class, except that there was another court above their heads.
Among them, the ones who benefited the most were Qin Zaixiong and his family. At the same time, the leaders who went to Tokyo with him were more or less rewarded by the court. After returning, after so many years of development, they also
Gradually we separated from him. After all, we share hardships and hardships, and we share wealth and prosperity.
However, Qin Zaixiong's influence among the Man Yao people in western Hunan is constantly increasing. Fortunately, although this man is just a man, he is indeed knowledgeable and smart, and he is not arrogant.
This time he returned to Beijing to be an introducer and to accompany the "King of Xun" Fu Yantong into the court. Fu Yantong was an old Man Yao chief who rose to prominence very early. In the era of Ma Yin's rise,
He began to travel across western Hunan and participated in a series of disputes in Hunan. He was considered a man of influence in Hunan during the Three Dynasties period.
Even after the rise of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, it was still a role that could not be ignored in Hunan. When Nanping was pacifying Hunan, he sent envoys to contact him and win his support. As for Fu Yantong, he chose not to help each other and sit back and watch the success or failure. Because of the inherent
The impression is that he only treats the big man as the Ma family he used to be.
Liu Chengyou heard about the reputation of this "King Xun" and sent a letter to invite him to visit Tokyo, but he was rejected. No matter how nice Tokyo is, it is not as safe and comfortable as his own thatched cottage.
However, the development of the barbarians in Hunan in the past seven years after Hunan was returned to rule made him extremely alarmed. There were strong Han troops outside and renegades like Qin Zaixiong inside. The situation among the barbarians in the western Hunan states also changed drastically.
.
Fu Yantong felt the imperial court's behavior of annexation and encroachment, and not without resistance. He secretly encouraged and organized some barbarians to leave their caves and go out to plunder. As a result, he faced decisive and cruel suppression by the Han army.
This is also very different from the results of the barbarian invasion of Hunan counties in the early years, especially Li Jun. The old guy was a murderer. He suppressed the barbarians without mercy. Thousands of people were killed and injured under his hands. Even Li Jun
Jun Zeng directly stated that those who submit to the imperial court and become good citizens of the Han Dynasty will be treated well and protected, and those who dare to resist, break the law, or cause chaos will be dealt with according to Han law.
Last time, Li Jun was transferred away because during these years of guarding western Hunan, Li Jun committed a lot of blood debt. Although he frightened the barbarians and made them surrender, he also caused a lot of resentment among the people. He was transferred out.
It also further calms the mind.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the people of Man Yao gradually surrendered and returned to the imperial rule. This was done by following an example. They were able to obtain land and stabilize production. The original leaders basically had to be awarded official positions, and through in-depth interactions with the Han people
Exchanges and transactions, living conditions and living standards have all been significantly improved.
This situation is even more attractive, and there is a famous hero like Qin Zaixiong taking the lead. Until now, Fu Yantong finally couldn't sit still. After many hesitations, he finally decided to go to Beijing to express his surrender to the emperor, and completely
Surrender to the imperial court and accept rule.
Qin Zaixiong is a rising star and has made quite a name for himself. However, when it comes to reputation, there is still a certain gap between him and an old man like Fu Yantong.
Fu Yantong's entry into Beijing is of milestone significance. It means that the Man Yao people in Hunan will be completely integrated into the rule of the Han Dynasty, and the people will be organized into households. Once the digestion by the imperial court is completed, the degree of consolidation of Hunan's rule will be far greater.
Of course, this is also based on the assimilation of Hunan for thousands of years.
And once successful, the influence of the imperial court will also expand deeply to the central and western Guizhou regions.
"I have long advised Fu Yantong that as long as he submits to the imperial court, the imperial court will treat him favorably. His status, property, reputation and even power will be retained, and he will just become a subject of the imperial court!" Qin Zaixiong still said to Zhao Yanjin: "But,
He just doesn't believe it. After all, he is getting old. He has rejected the court's goodwill several times. Now, he is forced by the situation to enter Beijing. Isn't it too late? I think he must regret it..."
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Brother Qin is a hero in central Guizhou. Why can't he achieve success and fame?" Zhao Yan smiled slightly after hearing what he said.
Qin Zaixiong also laughed, obviously enjoying it. Seeing that his eyes were always lingering on the Orchid, Zhao Yanjin was also very considerate and said: "Brother Qin rarely comes back to Tokyo, so just enjoy it!"
As a member of the same clan, Qin Zaixiong heyed and looked rude, but he suddenly thought of something and said: "When I came to Beijing this time, I brought several beautiful girls from my clan. Naturally, the most beautiful pearl is dedicated to me.
Your Majesty the Emperor, I will choose the next best person to send to Brother Zhao’s house?”
"Brother Qin is kind to you, but I would be disrespectful to reject it!" Zhao Yan came in and responded with a little interest, his eyebrows slightly raised.
