Bozhou is located in the hinterland of the southwest. It can be said to be the most important city in the entire southwest. However, such an important city is not something that Dayan can completely control. If it is said here that the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, I'm afraid
You will be scorned by the residents here!
The reason is very simple. The real owner here is not the distant Emperor of Dayan, but the Yang family of Banzhou!
The Yang family has almost the same history as most other clans, but the only difference is that the Banzhou Yang family occupies the southwest and is inconspicuous, so they have not participated in the struggle for the Central Plains for hundreds of years.
!That’s why it has been preserved to this day!
Yang Duan, the ancestor of the Yang family in Bozhou, was a general in the Tang Dynasty. He was ordered to station in Bozhou. He used a strategy to get rid of the Tusi Yi tribe in Bozhou at that time, and he became the governor of Bozhou.
At that time, the whole Tang Dynasty was in chaos, and the feudal vassals and towns were fighting each other's wits. Besides, there were so many Jiedu envoys, and there was not one more like you. The court might not even know where Bozhou was in a remote place! Since you want to do it
, then do it!
Therefore, the Yang family in Bozhou has been able to establish a foothold in Bozhou! They are also aware of themselves. From the beginning to the end, they only guard this three-thirds of an acre of land and live a comfortable life like their own emperor. No matter who becomes the emperor in the Central Plains, I will just surrender the land anyway.
!
As a result, the Yang family of Bozhou actually lasted for hundreds of years! It became a powerful family that lasted four dynasties! In many cases, even the words of Yan officials did not work, and only the words of the Yang family of Bozhou mattered!
This situation actually happened during the Taizu Dynasty. Dayan was different from the previous dynasties. The previous dynasties had no interest in the southwest. As long as you support me in name, it doesn't matter what you do.
That kind of.
But Dayan is different. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers! How can Dayan tolerate his ministers in the southwest and there are not even a few chieftains to talk to him? How can he tolerate that in Dayan there are other people besides him?
Is there a longer family besides his Li family?
Therefore, during the Taizu Dynasty, the imperial court had already used the excuse that the southwest gateway had to be guarded, so it sent troops to rectify it, and set up Guizhou, Bozhou, Sizhou, and Sinan to divide the southwest chieftains.
During the Taizong Dynasty, a war broke out between Sizhou and Sinan, Xuanwei, over resources. The court repeatedly banned it and gave the court an excuse to send troops to attack and destroy the two chieftains, and set up the two chieftains' territories to be governed by exiled officials.
of eight prefectures.
The Imperial Court of Dayan established the Eight Prefectures and the Guizhou Xuanwei Division, which were originally three prefectures in Yunnan, and established the Guizhou Chief Envoy Division. As a result, Dayan was able to greatly strengthen its control in the southwest.
However, the establishment of the Guizhou Chief Envoy Department can be said to be very embarrassing, because the Guizhou governor himself actually does not have that strong control over most places in Guizhou!
The establishment of the Guizhou Chief Minister's Office was actually a soft persimmon. It killed all the chieftains in this area, but left the strongest and hardest bone alone...Banzhou
Yang!
Therefore, the territory that the Guizhou Chief Envoy can actually control is very small. The most prosperous, richest and most authoritative place in this area is still Bozhou! The small Bozhou Xuanwei Secretary is even more powerful than the Guizhou Chief Envoy.
The entire province needs to be stronger and richer!
Many people's impression of a remote place in the southwest like Bozhou and Guizhou is that it is deep in the mountains, backward and ignorant, like primitive people living in tribal groups. Chieftains like the Yang family in Bozhou should also be wearing the kind of
All kinds of exaggerated and poorly made gold and silver jewelry, images of sexy little leopard skins, singing songs around a campfire...
But in fact, the Yang family in Bozhou are chieftains, not country people. They are no different from the Central Plains people. At least they are the same as the Central Plains people in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. They are also scholars wearing Hanfu and net scarves, and they can still ride horses and fight. They can count under their hands.
A scholar like Wan Biao, a fierce and ferocious chieftain...
Bozhou is not a remote and remote place. On the contrary, Bozhou is even richer than most cities in the Central Plains! At this time, Bozhou even has a vague feeling of wealth as a city in the south of the Yangtze River!
Geinbozhou is rich in wood, lead, tea and rice, and these are all in great need of the economically developed Jiangnan region!
Where there is a demand, there will be business opportunities. The people of Bozhou pack these things and put them on ships. They can enter the Yangtze River along the Chishui River, and they can easily reach Jinling by going down the river. The transportation cost is low, but the profits are huge. The Yang family of Bozhou relies on this
Lots of money to be made!
But what's scary about the Banzhou Yang Family is that they don't put all the money into their own pockets or use it to enjoy themselves, but rather give away more than half of the profits and goods every time!
Dare to give it away, which proves that they don't care at all! The family wealth of the Bozhou Yang family does not value this money at all, and with such a huge financial support, the Bozhou Yang family has been able to weave a terrifying network of relationships
!
The Yang family in Bozhou manages officials along the way, and they manage them all year round. Officials will be transferred and promoted. As time goes by, the whole country of Dayan will be friends of my Yang family in Bozhou!
In addition, the Yang family of Bozhou has been entrenched in Bozhou for hundreds of years, and its hundreds of years of business heritage is simply not comparable to that of Liu Guan! The bunkers under the Yang family of Bozhou spread for dozens of miles! They have tens of thousands of soldiers!
In the entire southwest territory, with so many fortifications and so many soldiers, it can be said that no one can dominate the southwest! Even the total number of Dayan's troops in the southwest may not be in the tens of thousands!
As for Dayan's army in the southwest, not to mention its small number, its combat power is almost as good as that of the militia! Rebellions often occur in the southwest, and the officials in the southwest have no money, food, or soldiers, so how can they quell the rebellion?
For such a small thing, there is absolutely no need to mobilize soldiers from the Central Plains to quell the rebellion. Not to mention it will cost more. There are rebellions in this world every day. Isn’t it possible that all those soldiers have left?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, these officials took a fancy to those wealthy chieftains who had many soldiers, generals, money and food. The chieftains are not stupid either. We have no reason.
What are you going to do to help you suppress the rebellion? You have to provide people and money, but there is no benefit. Why?
Therefore, the officials and these chieftains reached a tacit agreement. The chieftains would help the government put down the rebellion. After putting down the rebellion, they would steal money, grain, and women, and the government would not hold them accountable!
It’s certainly not true that there are no benefits to this, but it obviously does more harm than good, because not all chieftains are so particular about the spirit of contract... For example, the Yang family in Banzhou...
Yang Yinglong, the 29th generation head of the Yang family in Bozhou, was arrogant and cruel by nature. The government indulged the chieftains in this way, which made Yang Yinglong more and more contemptuous of the Yan court. He also had extreme contempt for the Yan army in his heart, and finally
At least he has great contempt for the troops in the Sichuan and Sichuan areas that he is familiar with!
At the same time, this kind of indulgence gradually made Yang Yinglong feel uncomfortable. Most of those who rebelled were from the villages deep in the Three Thousand Mountains. Most of them were poor people living in poverty. The mountains were high and the roads were far away.
You don’t have much oil and water, how much money do you need to rob them?
I will directly snatch the Chief Envoy of Guizhou!
Although the Bozhou Xuanwei Division is under the control of the Sichuan Chief Envoy Division, most of the territory is actually within the Guizhou Chief Envoy Division, so it is not too easy and convenient for the Bozhou Xuanwei Division to seize the Guizhou Chief Envoy Division!
What he was betting on was that the Chief Envoy of Guizhou was weak in defense and wealthy, and he could rely on this opportunity to circle the territory! It was so exciting!
The fact is indeed what he thought. The Chief Envoy of Guizhou is simply vulnerable! He was blatantly robbed by the Bozhou Yang family, and he can put on any appearance he wants!
The Chief Envoy of Guizhou came to reason with the Chief Envoy of Sichuan. Sichuan Governor Li Hualong had no idea how much money and women he had received from the Yang family in Bozhou over the years. In addition, the Chief Envoy of Sichuan during this period had been struggling to suppress the rebellion.
The Yang family in Bozhou is in charge. Seeing that the White Lotus Sect is rebelling in Shaanxi with great momentum, they may have to rely on others! How can they possibly rectify the Yang family in Bozhou? Besides, it may not be done successfully...
At this time, the Chief Envoy of Guizhou could not be reasoned with and could not be beaten again and again. The governor of Guizhou, Ye Mengxiong, almost suffocated himself to death! He repeatedly reported this matter and asked for an investigation of Yang Yinglong. As a result, the Songpan area was in turmoil at that time, and Bozhou strong soldiers
He was constantly being transferred to other places to assist in the defense. Li Hualong, the governor of Sichuan, requested to be exempted from questioning for this reason, so Yang Ying was not punished for this.
Not only was Yang Yinglong not affected by this, but he became even more powerful! In addition, Yang Yinglong was currently having an unhappy time with another family over a dispute over land.
Although the Yang family is the only one in Bozhou, the Yang family is not the only one in Bozhou. The Yang family has five divisions and seven surnames under its control. Among them, the Luo family in Bozhou is second only to the Yang family.
, second only to the Yang family of Bozhou, the hereditary prefect.
The Five Sis and Seven Surnames in Bozhou have always been dominated by the Yang family, but since Yang Ying inherited this position, the relationship between the Five Sis and Seven Surnames and the Yang family has become increasingly tense!
Until a few days ago, Yang Yinglong had a conflict with the Luo family due to some land issues. The two parties, through the mediation of several other companies, agreed to discuss and reconcile the matter at Shuiyue Tower this time.
Yang Yinglong himself is not as aggressive and murderous as he imagined. On the contrary, he looks very elegant. He is wearing a luxurious and low-key Taoist robe and a square scarf on his head. He looks like a young man.
As a scholar, who would have thought that such a person was actually the "Emperor" of Bozhou.
Yang Yinglong silently watched groups of soldiers passing by in front of him. Most of them were gray-headed and had some injuries on their bodies.
When his younger brother Yang Zhaolong saw this, he said to him: "They are all soldiers from Sichuan and Shaanxi. They were defeated. Chongqing did not accept them, so they could only continue to go south, and they ended up here."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yinglong glanced at these soldiers with disdain and then whispered: "We won't accept them either. We tell them to either go back to Sichuan or continue south to Guizhou... What a bunch of idiots!"
Yang Zhaolong smiled knowingly. Obviously he also knew that his brother did not like these Dayan soldiers. Even when the Korean Duke was there, Yang Yinglong actually only respected the Korean Duke on the surface, but in fact Yang Yinglong despised Sichuan.
As for the soldiers of Shu, as for why they don’t despise the soldiers of Guizhou... maybe it’s because Guizhou can be excluded...
The two brothers walked all the way to the bottom of Shuiyue Tower. Yang Yinglong asked Yang Zhaolong softly if everything was ready. Yang Zhaolong nodded lightly to indicate that it was okay. Yang Yinglong thought about it and got off his horse. A Miao slave hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
Acting as a horse stool, who would have thought that Yang Yinglong's foot would actually miss the mark while he was thinking about it!
Yang Zhaolong hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Fortunately, Yang Yinglong had good skills, so he didn't fall down. However, after standing up, Yang Yinglong still looked coldly at the Miao man who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy in Miao language. He looked at Yang Zhaolong coldly.
The knife was drawn from his waist!
"ah!"
After a scream, the Miao man fell to the ground with blood everywhere! Yang Yinglong turned around expressionlessly and threw the knife to Yang Zhaolong, and then went upstairs.
Upon seeing this, Yang Zhaolong hurriedly ordered people to throw the Miao man's body out, and he hurriedly followed Yang Yinglong upstairs.
The head of the Luo family and the head of the Yuan family who came to serve as peacekeepers had already arrived. When they saw Yang Yinglong coming, they stood up hurriedly. The head of the Yuan family hurriedly came forward to say hello.
Yang Yinglong did not reach out to hit the smiling person, and exchanged a few pleasantries, and then sat down. The head of the Yuan family then said something. You and I are both powerful people from this hometown, and we have been interacting with each other for such a long time.
, We have always followed your lead, Yang Family, and everyone has followed the rules and lived in peace. This is great. There is no need to be so tense. It will not be good for each other...
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Yinglong was noncommittal. The head of the Luo family couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yang Yinglong had no intention of falling out. In fact, he didn't want to get into this situation with the Yang family unless it was absolutely necessary.
What a situation! It’s true that Yang has been bullying others too much recently!
Therefore, the head of the Luo family said sternly to Yang Yinglong: "Since you also think this is right, I also hope that you can abide by the rules set by your family. We will not violate each other's wells. That land has always been my Luo family."
So, now you can’t just take it just because you want to use it, right?”
Yuan also nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, let's put it this way, we can discuss it! No matter what method, since Yang wants to use it, then whether it is buying or renting, there is another way out, right? Let's not
The relationship has become so tense, it’s more important to be friendly! It’s more important to be friendly!”
Luo Shi also sighed and said: "Actually, there is no use for us to keep that piece of land, so I went back and thought about it. If you want it, you can just think about it later. Do you want to buy it or rent it?"
Both of them looked at Yang Yinglong, who had always been smiling and silent. Yang Yinglong also smiled after seeing their gazes. After sitting up a little straighter, he slowly said: "Since you two said so,
Then how can I refuse your kindness?"
Luo Shi and Yuan Shi both breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if this lunatic could listen...
Before the two of them had time to relax, Yang Yinglong continued: "But I'm not very satisfied with the way you said..."
The head of the Luo family said hurriedly: "Then what method do you want to use? Tell us and we can discuss it."
Before the head of the Luo family finished speaking, Yang Yinglong showed his fangs and said with a cruel smile: "I only accept one way... rob!"
As Yang Yinglong uttered the last word, the door was suddenly kicked open with a huge force! Countless chieftain soldiers rushed in in an emergency!
The head of the Luo family and the head of the Yuan family were shocked. The head of the Luo family was just about to stand up to resist, but was pinned to the ground. He couldn't help but struggled hard and said: "Yang Yinglong! You! What are you doing!"
Yang Yinglong picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you just now? Kill you and seize the land, it's that simple."
The head of the Luo family was furious: "How dare you! Do you really think that your Yang family covers the sky in Bozhou with just one hand? How dare you touch me! My family is not a vegetarian either!"
The head of the Luo family sneered: "Huh! I'm not afraid to tell you the truth! I already made an agreement with my family before I came here. If I really can't go back, you can just wait and be buried with your whole family!"
Yang Yinglong curled his lips and didn't take the threat from the head of the Luo family to heart at all. Instead, he took a few bites of the food on his own: "I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, just when you finished saying this, you Luo family
The last male in the family has probably been thrown to death, and the last female in your Luo family has probably been pinned on my bed."
The head of the Luo family and the head of the Yuan family were both stunned for a moment, and then the head of the Luo family struggled hard and yelled, "What did you say! What are you doing, how dare you!"
Yang Yinglong wiped his mouth and hands, then slowly stood up and said: "Don't you dare, you can't see it anymore..." After saying that, he took the knife handed over by the chieftain soldier on the side, and the head of the Luo family continued to curse: "
You will not die a good death! Yang Yinglong! You have done all the bad things! You will not die well...
Yang Yinglong wiped the head of the Luo family on the neck with a knife, and then casually inserted the knife in the body of the Luo family. He looked back at the silent head of the Yuan family, turned around and left without saying a word!
Although the head of the Yuan family behind him did not speak to Yang Yinglong, he was still startled by the look in Yang Yinglong's eyes! But looking at the head of the Luo family who fell on the ground and remained silent, he couldn't help but purse his lips tightly, feeling shocked and confused.
Fearful and angry, quite a bit like the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox...
Yang Yinglong rode on his horse and faced Yang Zhaolong behind him and ordered: "The Luo family left no chickens or dogs behind and sold their women deep into the mountains. I will make their lives worse than death! I want the entire Banzhou to be destroyed."
Look at Luo's fate! This is the fate of those who dare to go against my Yang family! Go back to Hailongtun!"
