It is made of green mud, and the lower part is divided into two rivers that merge and flow into Feilong Canyon, hence the name. Although they are located in the southwest border, compared with the Central Plains and the wars in Hebei, these prefectures and counties in Longnan are generally relatively stable.
No matter how violent the changes in the Central Plains are, their impact on the southwest is limited after all. Tubo in the west has long since fallen apart, and a few miscellaneous things can hardly make a big splash. In the past thirty years, as far as the states in Longnan were concerned, only the Later Tang Dynasty destroyed the Former Shu, and the Later Shu conquered key problems.
Around the middle of the 19th century, great turmoil occurred.
Of course, ever since the two countries of Han and Shu turned against each other and used troops one after another, the lives of the people in the state have not been easy. Due to the geographical terrain, whether it is the Shu Kingdom or the Han Dynasty, when they use troops based on it, they will inevitably have to use food and supplies on the spot.
its people power.
Chengzhou has four distinct seasons, with suitable temperature and humidity. Therefore, Chengzhou is not too cold in early winter. The Qingni River flows day and night through the high mountains and hills in the territory and flows through Tonggu City. It is no different from previous years.
The biggest changes are the changing banners of the Han Dynasty at the top of the city and the Han army at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.
Fortunately, after the Battle of Liangquan, the Shu army was defeated too quickly and retreated too hastily, and the officials in Chengchi surrendered too quickly. Therefore, Chengchierzhou did not suffer as much as Fengzhou.
Serious military disasters.

After the surrender, the Han army only adjusted its defenses and sent troops to take over the city, government offices, and warehouses. Due to military discipline, it did not disturb the people too much. Even so, the people in Chengzhou were inevitably uneasy, and the scholars and people in Tonggu City were even more worried.
I was uneasy, after all, I could see the Han army camp at the foot of Phoenix Mountain when I climbed to the top of the city.
However, although the war between Han and Shu continued, the order of the prefectures and counties was restored to some extent thanks to the efforts of the officials in charge and the military might of the garrison, even though the people's hearts were still undecided.
Several stage horses, spurred by their masters, galloped over. In the sound of kicking, it seemed that the splashing frost dust could be felt. When approaching the city, the troops divided into two groups and turned southwest all the way to the ferry.
Go in the right direction, follow the post road, and go straight to Tonggu.
At the city gate, the captain of the guard saw Lai Qi, and his boredom was lifted. Although he noticed the color of his clothes, he still fulfilled his duty and stepped forward to ask: "Where did he come from?"
The Yiqi was carrying a sack on his back and was sweating profusely. He was tired. When asked, he directly replied: "Gu Zhen has an urgent order. Send it to the state government and release it as soon as possible!"
After confirming the post's message, they were released. The two postmen, under the guidance, quickly rode their horses along the bumpy streets of Tonggu towards the state government office. Guzhen was not far from Tonggu, Qi
It was about ten miles away, and the postmen came galloping all the way.
In the prefectural government office, the person in charge was Zhao Jue, a former judge of the Xiongwu Army. After receiving the urgent report and arranging the postmen, he immediately ordered to summon his staff.
Zhao Di was a man in his thirties, fair and plump. In his early years, he spared money to help the government, and was able to become an official. Later he worked for Chengzhou. In the early Han Dynasty, he re-established a dynasty and descended to Shu, and was later appointed as a judge.
Among the four states of Qin and Feng, there were actually quite a few officials like Zhao Ju. After Shu occupied the four states, it did not clean up the officials at all levels and retained a large number of people.
Therefore, after the Han army conquered Shu and won a great victory, they changed their banner and returned to the Han Dynasty again without any psychological pressure. Especially for officials like Zhao Jue, even if they did not talk about the strength and weakness of the two countries, they focused on their native place in the Central Plains.
Under such circumstances, they are also closer to the Han Dynasty. After all, Chinese people are hard-pressed to move back to their homeland, and they all want to return to their roots after falling leaves.
After the Shu army was defeated in Fengzhou, Zhao Jue and his men refused to admit the enemy, forcing Li Tinggui to divide his troops and retreat to Cheng. Jie's plan failed, and he finally had to lead his remaining troops to retreat to Xingzhou.
The Han army swept through Fengjie and marched down the whole city. The officials led by Zhao Ding had made great contributions. Therefore, they were all retained for the time being, each assigned their own duties, to maintain order for the Han Dynasty.
Several staff members came to the hall one after another, and they saw Zhao Ding with his head buried in his hands, an official document in his hands, his face contemplative, and his face grim.
"I wonder what the judge called me for?" the subordinate asked after seeing him bow.
With a bitter smile, he gestured to the official document in his hand: "I sent a letter from Guzhen to the commander-in-chief to defeat Xingzhou, and sent troops to the west county. In order to break the city, I asked Feng to become a leader and build up the four states. Recruit 10,000 people to arrive.
The city will listen to you, and it will last for ten days. To complete the two states, we need to recruit 4,000 people!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. One of the officers stood up and said in a somewhat irritable tone: "Since the fierce war between Han and Shu, three thousand civilians have been recruited to serve. After successive battles, more than half of them were killed or injured. Now there is no peace in the two states.
Recruiting another 4,000 people is an attempt to recruit all the young people in the state. If this is carried out, the people will definitely become resentful!"
There are two prefectures in Chengdu. The land is small and the people are small. The population is not large. The two prefectures combined have only more than 10,000 households. After deducting the old, young, women and children, and taking into account the existing conscripts, there are not many people left. This is the reality.
question.
"The people at the top and bottom are in panic. By exhausting the people's power and persecuting them too much, they are afraid that the soldiers and people's livelihood will be in chaos!" another person said.
All the staff members couldn't help but express their bitterness, worries and shouts.
Seeing this, Zhao Ding couldn't help but feel upset, and slapped the table in the hall, making a solemn noise. Looking around, Zhao Ding's cheeks shook a few times, and then he said: "I'm not calling you here to discuss whether to recruit civilian husbands. I'll listen to you."
It’s hard to complain.”
He waved the official document in his hand, pressed it on the case, and said: "This is not an official document, but a military order. How can the military order allow us to question and say more. We are returning to the Han Dynasty. There is an order ahead, how dare we disobey it? These four thousand people have become
The two states must be collected and sent to Xi County!"
Obviously, Zhao Di can see things very clearly, has a clear mind, and knows the pros and cons.
"Four thousand men can still be recruited, but the time limit is too short. From Tonggu to Xi County, it is at least two hundred miles away, and even further from Jiezhou. Within ten days, the recruitment will be completed and then sent to
It’s too difficult under the city!” After clarifying the situation, someone finally calmed down a little.
"Then don't just sit here and talk empty talk!" Zhao Jue took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Everyone, please put down all the matters in your hands and take all your people to draw dice in each township and village. Within three days, we will decide
We need to gather all the people of the right age!”
With that said, Zhao Ding took out the administrative map of Cheng and Jie Prefectures, pointed at each township, and determined the amount and responsible personnel. After a pause, he added: "The decree has been passed to Jie Prefecture, and I will go there in person.
The road to the state is close, so I'll leave it to you. We can send thousands of people to the west county in batches!"
"yes!"
As the most powerful among the surrendered officials, Zhao Jue also took care of Liujie Prefecture. In fact, he was not too worried about Chengzhou, which was mainly about Jiezhou, which was about 150 miles away.
"What if we rush too quickly and cause civil unrest?" the subordinate asked hesitantly.
After hearing the question, Zhao Jue was silent for a short time and said in a cold voice: "There are forbidden troops stationed in both states! I will go up to the camp and pay homage to the commander to ask for his assistance!"
In one sentence, the meaning is already obvious. In today's situation, the authority of the government alone is not enough. We must also rely on weapons and weapons to make the people obey the command...
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jue looked at the officials solemnly and said: "Everyone, we, the ministers of the Central Plains, had no choice but to surrender to Meng Shu. Now we are fortunate to return and be accepted by the court. We must perform well in order to gain access to the court.
Trust me. I don’t say anything else, even if it’s for our own future and for our family, we should do our best on this matter!”
"Yes!" Zhao Jue said, and everyone became more alert.
In fact, Zhao Di is an official who is good at punishment, but he cannot be considered a gentle gentleman regardless of his character or conduct. He is a qualified bureaucrat and landlord who cares more about his own life than caring for the people.
future, official position.
Soon, the entire state government was mobilized. All officials, officers, and state soldiers came out to recruit young people from counties and towns. Zhao Ding first went to Longqi Military Camp to visit Gao Huaide, and then galloped on horseback.
Jiezhou, in charge of its affairs.
Because of a military order on the front line of Xi County, tensions rose up and down the two prefectures in Chengchie. Officials worked hard and the people suffered. When the order was issued, the people of the two prefectures suddenly complained.
In a war situation, even if the Han army had strict military discipline and did not burn, kill or loot, they would still have to suffer.
