Chapter 576 Southern Border Emperor
Spring night is short and the sun rises high, and the king will not go to court early from now on.
Liu Yu was not the king, but he was still happy to enjoy the taste of spring night. Liu Liniang also got what she wanted, and Duolin and Rice were also tirelessly eating sweet taste, which made Liu Yu busy all night.
It was early in the morning that Duolin and Mier fell asleep, while Liu Liniang leaned in Liu Yu's arms and made a promise.
"Twelve Young Master, although you are not the emperor, you are the emperor of all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. In the future, I will choose the most beautiful girl in southern Xinjiang for you, train it well, and send it to Chang'an City."
Liu Yu smiled faintly and asked, "What about you?"
"I really want to go back with you, but..."
"If you want to go back together, you will be the same as Dali people. The court will set up a chieftain in southern Xinjiang. At that time, the people in southern Xinjiang will manage the affairs of southern Xinjiang. The court will set up a custody station on this side, but will not ask about the affairs of the ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang. Li Niang, the purpose of my trip south this time is to take you back. You can't let me go empty-handed."
Liu Liniang smiled charmingly, looked up at Liu Yu and said, "How old are you older than me? Don't wait a few years later, you will dislike me."
"Li Niang is so graceful, I want to watch you dance until you are old."
Liu Liniang leaned against Liu Yu's arms and said, "Then I will take care of you, the Twelve Young Master. Liniang doesn't care about the women in your family, but Liniang will help you see them tightly."
Liu Yu didn't say anything else. In fact, what Liu Liniang said was also his always troubles.
With his current status, it doesn't matter to find a few women. The main reason he has to face is the pressure of public opinion. After all, the current emperor is also his wife.
If he married the woman unscrupulously, Xu Xuanzhu might not say anything, but Qi'er would not be able to say anything. It would be difficult for the ministers in the court to explain in the future. If it was as Liu Liniang said, and if Liu Liniang and Duolin and other women were placed outside, there would not be any direct conflict between the two sides.
It was noon when Liu Yu and Liu Liniang got up to dress.
Liu Yu was dressed in military uniform and went to the Miao party's conference hall with Liu Liniang, who was dressed in Dali, Miao party. At this time, the Miao party's old Galuozhai and the heads of all ethnic groups came to congratulate them on their wedding.
Liu Yu didn't say much at the meeting, but gave the right to the new Dali old Liu Liniang. At this time, Liu Liniang was no longer just the Dali old of the Miao family, but also the leader of various tribes in southern Xinjiang. Liu Liniang will be fully responsible for the affairs of southern Xinjiang in the future, and Liu Yu only needs to listen to Liu Liniang's report.
When Liu Liniang said that the court wanted to set up a chieftain yamen in southern Xinjiang, people of all ethnic groups lit up their eyes, as if they were seeing an opportunity.
The patriarch of the Bai tribe asked, "The old Dali and the general went to Chang'an City, who will manage the chieftain's yamen?"
"The chieftains' yamen are not managed by one person." Liu Yu said, "The associations of all ethnic groups send representatives to form the Presbyterians' yamen to be responsible for the deliberations and rulings of the chieftains' yamen. The chieftains' yamen shall not interfere with the internal affairs of each ethnic group, but those involving different tribes in southern Xinjiang must be handed over to the Presbyterians' yamen for disposal. In addition, any prisoners who encounter murder, arson, and those who are unforgivable for crimes must also be handed over to the chieftains' yamen for disposal. Each tribe cannot execute the prisoners privately. The final decision-maker of the chieftain is Dali Old. She has the right to decide or deny the resolutions made by the elders' yamen."
People of all ethnic groups looked at each other, and what Liu Yu said was indeed very consistent with their wishes. This means that all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang can decide their own affairs through discussions without being suppressed by the court.
"Then... military terms..."
Liu Yu said: "The court will still garrison troops in Lingnan, but the army will not interfere in local administrative affairs. The chieftain yamen can also support troops and be responsible for local public security and administrative management. If it encounters foreign invasion, the court army will defend the peace of the land."
The attendees breathed a little relieved when they heard that the army would not interfere in local affairs, but they still couldn't feel completely relieved.
Liu Yu said again: "There are many Han people living in Lingnan. In the future, in various places, the affairs of ethnic minorities will be taken care of by the Chieftains Office. The affairs of the Han people must be handed over to the local government office, and the Chieftains Office will not interfere. If you are undecided, you can submit the court and the court will give you a statement. If you don't do it, you will have the king and the emperor above!"
After all, Liu Yu had a different identity. He was the regent, so what he said worked. In the end, people from all tribes had no objection and agreed on the matter of the chieftain yamen. The rest was the matter of the coalition forces sending troops to wipe out the various military forces in Lingnan in one fell swoop.
Because all ethnic groups have returned to inform them of the dispatch of troops, and all ethnic groups are also preparing. Liu Yu gave a short period of time and required that the troops of each tribe must gather in a short time.
Time waits for no one, and Liu Yu doesn't want to drag things on the southern border for a long time.
…………
On the tenth day of July, the imperial court and the ethnic minority coalition forces set out from Lan Ping, headed north through Yizhou, and began to fight against several military forces in central Lingnan. At the same time, the troops of Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, also went south from Hunan, while the troops of Qi were from Meiguan to form a three-sided encirclement of the military forces in Lingnan.
The head of the Lingnan military forces saw that the court was in great power, and most of them surrendered to the court, and the court army did not spend much effort to resist.
In less than ten days, most of Lingnan has been settled, and there are three of the twenty-five military forces left. These three are also the largest among the Lingnan forces, Li, Lu, and Yang.
On the list that Liu Liniang once gave to Liu Yu, there were only three of the five local forces.
Because they have too much grudges with ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang, the three landlords were not prepared to surrender to the court. They also occupied the area between their sphere of influence and formed a alliance of three to fight against the court.
In their opinion, strong dragons cannot defeat local snakes, and the imperial army will withdraw sooner or later, so they will act as a defensive attitude.
The three land kui have a total of 19 cities, and they are closely connected with each other, so the imperial army will not be able to conquer it for a while.
Because the shortage of military food and food in the imperial court was not fundamentally lifted, Liu Yu also knew that this war could not be delayed for a long time, and the army was seriously exhausted from supplies outside. If Lingnan cannot be completely calmed by the end of August, the unstable military morale may be taken advantage of by these three major landlords.
Liu Yu also understood that although the defense line of these three Dikui alliances seemed to be solid, the biggest problem was that they had three heads and had no chief officer. The government orders were ineffective in the upward movement and were easily exploited.
Liu Yu also took advantage of this at the right time, not forcing too much damage to attack, but instead used counter-espionage strategies in the territory of these three lands and Kui to alienate the connection between these three lands and Kui.
During these days, Liu Yu also fully enjoyed the treatment of his "Emperor of Southern Xinjiang" and hid in a tent and kept his door closed all day long.
It’s not that Liu Yu is not in a hurry, but that he still has a whole set of plans that are not useful.
