Chapter 263: Weight, Pink Sea

The Ningyuan River is the longest river in southern Chanzhou (Hainan). In addition to the Nandu River, Changhua River and Wanquan River, it is the fourth largest river on Hainan Island.

Linzhen County was built on the plains lower reaches of the Ningyuan River during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. This city was built on the Ningyuan River in the north, on the Nanshan Ridge in the south, on the Dagang in the west, and on the Yazhou Bay in the southeast. It was the place where "Longpan Ao Living", so it was built here when Emperor Wu of Han.

In the Han Dynasty, General Lu Bode and Ma Yuan "Two Fubo" traveled to and from Yazhou Bay, Fuding Zhu Cliff, Jiaozhi (now northern Vietnam), and setting up the city walls, and setting up the "Copper Columns in the south" mark in Yazhou Bay. The tall copper pillars still stand outside the Linzhen City.

Today, Zhuge Ke led his troops to see this pillar from afar. Zhuge Ke looked at the waves rushing to the beach with waves, and stroked his beard and sighed: "It's a pity that he gave up this place so well before. It's really a waste of resources."

Yang Yizu, who was standing beside him, said, "General, I gave up before, but today the general took us to recover him. His merits are comparable to General Fubo Lu Bode of the Western Han Dynasty, General Yang Pu of the Lou Chuan and Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

The talented and wise Emperor Wu of Han incorporated Hainan Island into China's territory. However, after only a few decades, Hainan disappeared from the territory of the Han Dynasty.

In the third year of Chuyuan, in the third year of Emperor Yuan of Han ascending the throne, the court officials broke out in Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. The result of the discussion would be related to the existence of Zhuya County thousands of miles away.

After the Han Dynasty established counties and counties in Hainan, conflicts also followed. In the official history of the Han Dynasty, such as "Book of Han", "Book of Later Han", there are records of the Han Dynasty's officials brutalizing the local Li ancestors, such as "Since the beginning of being a county, most Chinese invaded them", "At the end of Emperor Wu, the prefect of Zhuya, Kuaiji, was happy to send a bun to offer them to him, and the barbarians were unable to bear the service, so they attacked the county and killed them." "The abolition of Zhuya was caused by the officials who saw that they were fond of their hair and took them as their lords."

This exploitation and oppression will inevitably arouse strong resistance from the residents on the island. The Book of Han records that "from the beginning to the first county to the first year of Emperor Zhao's first year of Emperor Zhao's rebellion, six rebellions were rebelled for more than twenty years." Emperor Zhao of Han had to abolish Dan'er County in the fifth year of Emperor Shiyuan and put its jurisdiction under Zhuya County. However, it was useless. A few years later, the three counties of Zhuya rebelled; a few years later, nine counties rebelled; each time the Han Dynasty sent troops to quell the rebellion, but soon after it was pacified, they rebelled, "the counties rebelled even more, and they were uncertain for years."

Rebellions in Hainan Island remained frequently, and problems also occurred in Guandong, the core ruling area of ​​the Han Dynasty (which referred to the area east of Hangu Pass). Zhuya was abandoned in the spring of the third year of Chuyuan. In June of the previous year, "Kanto was hungry, and people were fed together in Qi"; in September of the previous year, "Kanto County and the eleven major floods, hunger, or people fed each other"; in April of the same year, "Kanto Valley did not climb this year, and the people were fed together."

Under this background, Hainan rebelled again, and whether to send troops to quell the rebellion? Emperor Yuan of Han, who had first ascended the throne, could not make up his mind. After all, he could only choose one of his internal and external troubles, so he could only let the ministers discuss it.

The great-grandson of Jia Yi, a famous political commentator in the Western Han Dynasty, Jia Jianzhi, who was the attendant of Jinmamen at the time, advocated the abandonment of Zhujing. He listed eight reasons, believing that "Zhujing is not worth greed, and abandonment is not worth cherishing." This is the famous "Abstention to Abandon Zhujing" in history.

To be fair, some of Jia Jinzhi's reasons are plausible and even ridiculous. For example, he thought that "the people of Zhuya are like fish and turtles" were almost insulting, but several of them hit the key points of the problem.

For example, he believed that "the people of Kanto have been in trouble for a long time and have been displaced for many years", "when they marry their wives and sell their children, the law cannot be banned, and the righteousness cannot be stopped, which is the worry of the country." "It is not that there are pearls, rhinestones, and tortoiseshells in the pearl cliffs", and the labor force is exhausted, so it is better to "constrain the Kanto to worry about it with special care."

Prime Minister Yu Dingguo also agreed with Jia Jianzhi, believing that the day before yesterday, the cost of attacks was more than 300 million yuan, but it cannot be reduced. Now Guandong is in poverty and the people are unable to shake it. The proposal for donation is to be made."

On the one hand, there was the Kanto famine that could shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty's rule, and on the other hand, Hainan Island, which had abandoned only a few local specialties. Moreover, these tributes can be found from other places, and it is clear at a glance who is light and who is heavy. Abandoning Zhu Cliffs was at most a matter of face for Emperor Yuan of Han.

Under the opposition of the ministers, in the spring of the third year of Chuyuan, Emperor Yuan of Han issued an edict saying: "Zhuya County kills officials and people, betrays it a rebellion." "Which is more dangerous to the hunger of all people or the undefeated barbarians?" "Now, Guandong is in great difficulty, the warehouse is empty and there is no way to support each other, and he is also used to mobilize troops, not to the people, and the bad year follows him. When he abandoned Zhuya County, the people who wanted to be subordinates, so he would deal with it. If he did not want to, he would not force him."

Zhuya County was officially abandoned and was included in the territory at the peak of the Han Dynasty. It took only sixty-four years to pass until the Han Dynasty began to decline. After all, Emperor Yuan of Han was not Emperor Wu of Han, and his control over the court officials was far less than that of his ancestors.

The decline of the Western Han Dynasty began in his hands. He first abolished the "three horses" of assisting the government, and then began to favor eunuchs, resulting in the decline of imperial power and the chaos of the government.

Even his father, Emperor Xuan of Han, sighed after a meal with him: "Those who messed with my family are the prince!" In view of his gratitude and repayment to the late Queen Xu, he did not change the prince in the end. This was a great luck for Liu Shi and a great misfortune of the Western Han Dynasty.

In a vulgar sentence, it is "too big and pull the eggs". The Western Han Dynasty was the first peak of China's feudal era, especially during the reign of Emperor Wu, the territory was expanded everywhere, but many of the developed territory were indigenous residents.

Therefore, in the subsequent management, some border counties, local natives continued to rebel. Many counties on the border between the Han Dynasty have been abandoned or in fact abandoned (that is, the land has almost been lost, but the name of the county is still there, but the county government has been moved to the mainland).

Until now during the Three Kingdoms period, in order to expand its territory, countries gradually recovered their populations, cleaned up these messes, and took back these old places of Chinese during the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Ke looked at the bronze pillar with a wry smile and said, "This expedition is to open up the territory of the Wu Kingdom and enrich the population, but isn't it also a mess I cleaned up during the Han Dynasty."

In the afternoon, Zhuge Ke asked his soldiers to start siege the city. Soon, after paying far less than the Li soldiers defending the city, Linzhen City was captured by Wu soldiers.

The Jiulong County, where Nie You and Lu Kai were in charge, also easily took it down. At dinner, Nie You, Lu Kai and others used the sour melon and fish soup in the county hall.

Nie You drank some fish soup in the bowl and praised: "This fish is very fresh, and the soup is very sweet and delicious. Please try it well."……

At dusk, Zhuge Ke looked at the sea in Yazhou Bay and saw a pink sea, which was quite beautiful and charming.

Zhuge Ke also said in shock: "I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful scenery in the world, which I have never seen before."

Yang Yizu on the side said, "This pink sea is really a wonder of Chanzhou (Hainan). I have such a blessing today."………
