Chapter 263: Weight, Pink Sea

Ningyuan River is the longest river in the south of Chanzhou (Hainan). It is the fourth largest river in Hainan Island after Nandu River, Changhua River and Wanquan River.

Linzhen County was built on the plain on the lower reaches of the Ningyuan River during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The city is adjacent to the Ningyuan River to the north, Nanshan Mountains to the south, Dagang to the west, and Yazhou Bay to the southeast. It is the place where "Dragon Pan Ao lives".

Therefore, the city was built here during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Generals Lu Bode and Ma Yuan of the Han Dynasty visited Yazhou Bay, settled Zhuya and Jiaozhi (now northern Vietnam), built city walls, and built the "Bronze Pillar Tiannan" in Yazhou Bay.

The tall copper pillar that marks the founding of Xinjiang still stands outside Linzhen City.

Today, when Zhuge Ke led his troops, he could see this pillar from a distance. Zhuge Ke looked at the waves carrying the spray and rushing up to the beach. He stroked his beard and sighed: "Such a good place, but it's a pity that it was not there before."

To give it up like this is a waste of resources."

Yang Yizu on the side clasped his fists and said: "General, I abandoned it before, but today the general led us to recover it. His achievements are comparable to those of Fubo General Lu Bode of the Western Han Dynasty, Louchuan General Yang Pu and Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

."

The talented and ambitious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty incorporated Hainan Island into China's territorial territory. However, just a few decades later, Hainan disappeared from the territory of the Han Dynasty.

In the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, the third year after Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, a fierce debate broke out among the courtiers in Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. The outcome of the discussion would affect the survival of Zhuya County, thousands of miles away.

After the Han Dynasty established prefectures and counties in Hainan, conflicts ensued. Official histories such as "Hanshu" and "Houhanshu" contain records of Han officials stationed on the island abusing the local Li ancestors, such as "Since the beginning of the county,

County, the officials and soldiers were invaded by many Chinese people." "At the end of Emperor Wu, Sun Xing, the prefect of Zhuya in Kuaiji, spread a wide cloth to offer it, but the barbarians could not fight, so they attacked the county and killed Xingxing." "The destruction of Zhuya started when the chief officials saw it.

It has good hair, so the kun is called the 髲."

This kind of exploitation and oppression will inevitably arouse strong resistance from the residents of the island. The "Book of Han" records that "from the beginning of the county to the first year of Emperor Zhao's first year, Fanliu rebelled for more than 20 years."

Five years later, Dan'er County was abolished and its jurisdiction was added to Zhuya County. However, it did not help. A few years later, three Zhuya counties rebelled; a few years later, nine counties rebelled; each time the Han Dynasty sent troops

He went to quell the rebellion, but soon after it was quelled, he rebelled again. "The counties became more rebellious, and they continued to do so year after year."

There were frequent rebellions in Hainan Island, and there were also problems in Guandong, the core ruling area of ​​the Han Dynasty (generally referred to the area east of Hangu Pass at this time). Zhuya was abandoned in the spring of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, and in June of the previous year, "Guandong"

In September of the previous year, "the eleventh flood in the Guandong prefecture caused hunger, and some people in the land will eat each other"; in April of the same year, "there will be no harvest in Guandong this year, and many people will be sleepy."

.

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

The great-grandson of the famous political commentator Jia Yi in the Western Han Dynasty, Jia Zhizhi, who was waiting for the imperial edict in Jinmamen at that time, advocated the abandonment of Zhuya. He listed eight reasons and believed that "Zhuya is not greedy, and it is not pity to abandon it." This is a famous historical event.

"Discussion on Abandoned Pearl Cliff".

To be fair, some of Jia Gianzhi's reasons are specious and even ridiculous. For example, his belief that "the people in Zhuya are like fish and turtles" is almost insulting, but several of them hit the nail on the head.

For example, he believed that "the people in Guandong have been trapped for a long time and have been displaced for years" and "when it comes to marrying wives and selling children, the law cannot prohibit it and righteousness cannot stop it, which is a worry for the country";

, the cost is huge, it is better to "only worry about Guandong".

The Prime Minister Yu Dingguo also agreed with Jia's donation, thinking that the army launched a series of attacks the day before yesterday, "the cost of more than 30 million cannot be fully reduced, and now Guandong is poor and the people are shaken by disaster, so the donation is justified."

On the one hand, there is the famine in Guandong that may shake the foundation of the rule of the Han Dynasty. On the other hand, there is Hainan Island, which has abandoned only a few local products. Moreover, these tributes can also be obtained from other places. It is clear who is less important and who is more important. The abandonment of Zhuya has a great impact on the Han Yuan Emperor.

At best, it's just a matter of face.

Under the opposition of all the ministers, in the spring of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: "The Zhuya captives killed the officials and the people, and betrayal was treason." "What's the greater danger, the hunger of all the people or the unrequited barbarians?"

", "Today, Guandong is in great distress, the warehouses are empty, and there is no way to support each other. They have also mobilized troops, which is not a special effort for the people. The bad years will follow. As for Zhuya County, the people who admire righteousness and want to be subordinate within the country will do it, but they don't want to.

Don’t be forceful.”

Zhuya County was officially abandoned and was included in the territory when the Han Dynasty was at its peak. It was only sixty-four years before the Yuan Dynasty was abandoned when the Han Dynasty began to decline. After all, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his control over the courtiers was

Far inferior to his ancestors,

The decline of the Western Han Dynasty began at his hands. He first abolished the "troika" who assisted the government, and then began to favor the eunuchs, which led to the decline of imperial power and chaos in the government.

Even his father, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, sighed after having a meal with him once: "The one who disrupts my family is the prince!" In view of his gratitude and repayment to the late Queen Xu, he did not change the prince in the end, which was a major factor for Liu Shi.

Luck is also the great misfortune of the Western Han Dynasty,

To use a vulgar saying, "If you take too big a step, you will lose your eggs." The Western Han Dynasty was the first peak of China's feudal era. Especially during the reign of Emperor Wu, territories were opened up everywhere, but many of the developed territories contained indigenous residents.

Therefore, in terms of subsequent management, in some border counties, the local natives continued to rebel. Many counties on the border between the Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty were abandoned or actually abandoned (that is, the land was almost lost, but the name of the county was still there, but the county government was moved to the interior.

),

Until the current period of the Three Kingdoms, in order to expand their territory and population, each country has gradually recovered its population, cleaned up the mess, and taken back these old places in China during the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Ke looked at the copper pillar with a wry smile and said: "Our expedition is said to be to expand the territory of Wu and enrich its population, but it is not to clear up the mess made by the Han Dynasty."

In the afternoon, Zhuge Ke ordered his soldiers to start attacking the city. Not long after, Linzhen City was captured by the Wu soldiers after paying a much lower price than the Li soldiers who defended the city.

The Kowloon County town in charge of Nie You and Lu Kai also easily captured it. During dinner, Nie You, Lu Kai and others had the pickled melon and fish soup in the county government hall.

Nie You drank some fish soup from the bowl and praised: "This fish is very fresh, and the soup is also very sweet and delicious. You should also try it."......

At dusk, on the Linzhen City Tower, Zhuge Ke looked towards the sea of ​​Yazhou Bay and saw a pink sea, which was quite beautiful and charming.

Zhuge Ke was also quite shocked and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful scenery in the world. I have never seen this before."

Yang Yizu on the side said: "This pink sea is really a strange sight in Chanzhou (Hainan). I am so blessed to see you today."......
