Xiao Shilian frowned. He actually knew this, but he had never paid attention to it before. Of course, it was mainly because of the tacit understanding reached between Li Xingchen and the eight tribes of the Ba people. The people of the Ba people went down to the mountains to farm, and the leaders of the Ba people such as Du Qi
, Li Xun and others also became generals of the Shu Han. Whether they were managing local civil affairs or leading the Ba people to join the army, these Ba people leaders actually still had official positions and real power.
The concept of the Eight Tribes of the Ba people disappeared, and the entire tribe was integrated into the Shu-Han system from top to bottom. This was Li Xinchen's attempt to strengthen the assimilation of these tribes, and it was also the purpose of these tribes to survive. After all, under the circumstances at that time, if the Eight Tribes of the Ba people had not
If you do this, the tribe will really starve to death.
Xiao Shilian didn't know that in another time and space, this method of treatment had a resounding name, which was to change the soil and return to the locals. In fact, there was not much difference between the chieftains of later generations and the current tribal leaders, but they were more mature.
That’s all. Mrs. Xian can actually be understood as the largest chieftain in Lingnan.
But now if Li Xingchen plans to use the same method to treat Mrs. Xian, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Madam Xian and the Lingnan tribes under her command are not comparable to the eight tribes of the Ba people who are already in poverty and can even be said to be desperate.
These tribes have developed in Lingnan for decades and have become an independent entity. To put it bluntly, they are no different from the tribes in Baiyue who listen to the tune but not the propaganda. However, Mrs. Xian can accept nominal jurisdiction as long as the court protects them.
In the autonomy of this side, it doesn't matter who the court is. In return, Mrs. Xian will also ensure the tranquility and peace of this side. In contrast, the Baiyue tribe that seeks true independence is naturally more radical, so Xian
Lady's enemy.
But once everyone joins forces to solve the Baiyue tribe, what happens next?
Will Li Xingchen let Mrs. Xian become her own entity in Lingnan?
Although Xiao Shilian didn't know exactly what Li Xingchen wanted to do, he knew very well that Li Xingchen wanted to build the south into the rear area of the Northern Expedition, so he would not send people into the south early, nor would he send people into the south at the critical moment of the battle to destroy the country.
At that time, they still dispatched a full third of their troops to go south to Lingnan.
Li Xun said in a deep voice: "General, the battle against Baiyue is only temporary. We also need to train our soldiers and horses who are good at fighting in the mountains and fields. We must be prepared to fall out with Mrs. Xian at any time. My subordinates have also studied Mrs. Xian.
Although she is a prostitute, she can stabilize one party and her methods are not bad, so we cannot take it lightly."
"It makes sense." Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand to support the sand table. Li Xingchen really gave himself a troublesome task. Purging Lingnan was far from being as simple as he imagined. But fortunately, Li Xingchen also promised to do it in the near future.
If we send reinforcements southward within the next few days, we may be able to gain more leverage by then.
With a slight cough, Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "Step by step, let's eat Baiyue first!"
——————————————-
The morning light shines through the window into the dormitory, which is not very large.
Lechang slowly opened her eyes. After all, it was early autumn, and there was already a hint of coolness in the morning. She subconsciously pulled the quilt, and then pressed closer to Li Xinchen's arm. Li Xinchen seemed to be awakened by her movement.
, opened his eyes, yawned, and smiled at Lechang.
"Sorry." Lechang said apologetically, "It's still early. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Li Xingchen did not answer, but looked directly at Lechang: "It's fine with me, but why did you wake up so early?"
Lechang put his arms around his neck and whispered: "I have something I don't know whether I should ask."
"You girl, why are you always hesitant," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter."
Lechang's eyes widened and he asked curiously: "Is Zhang Lihua beautiful?"
Li Xingchen frowned: "I have to admit that she is indeed a beauty."
At the same time, he secretly thought in his heart, could his little thoughts be noticed? But it seems that Lechang's focus is not here? He only heard Lechang respond in a low voice: "My husband, you also think that Zhang Lihua
Is beauty a curse?"
Li Xingchen understood immediately. He asked this question in a roundabout way. It was obvious that Lechang still felt uncomfortable about the accusations made by those people during the day yesterday.
"If a man fails to live up to his expectations, why should he blame the woman?" Li Xingchen sneered, "You did nothing wrong. There is no need to think like this every day. When your father asked you to come to Bashu, he just didn't want you to struggle and worry anymore. Now
The old man can't rest assured when you look like this."
Feeling a chill on his chest, Li Xingchen hurriedly lowered his head. Lechang couldn't bear it anymore. He hugged him and cried. Tears flowed freely, as if he wanted to vent all the fear and grievances he had felt for such a long time.
"Okay, okay, you'll feel better after crying," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "You have a lot of things to do today, and the harem needs to be put up. What you just said reminded me. I heard that Zhang Lihua is quite smart.
, if you are at ease, ask her to help you. There is also Concubine Kong, who is half one of us. Let them manage the order of the harem, which can also put your brother and Kong Fan at ease. "
Lechang rolled his eyes subconsciously.
You are really Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the street knows it.
But this is inevitable. It is useless to leave such a beauty without food. Instead, Lechang has to think about whether he did something wrong, so as not to let the officials say that he is mean again. I heard that there was only one in Yang Jian's family in the Northern Dynasties.
The Dugu family does not accept any concubines, but it is strange to cut the page...
Of course, there are some in this dynasty, such as Xiao Shilian, General Xiao, but now he should be called the Prince Consort, and the Prince Consort also has two concubines in his family who have not yet married, and it was Li Lian'er who took care of this future eldest princess.
Your Highness is no fool.
The harem was not harmonious and there were not many heirs. It was also the queen's fault, and Lechang could not bear it. Thinking of this, she subconsciously reached out and touched her belly. Why was there no movement yet?
After a pause, Li Xingchen stroked her fine satin-like hair: "Today, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I came back for dinner and called Ning Yuan over. Our little family is very happy."
This was tantamount to Li Xingchen admitting Ning Yuan's identity in disguise, and Lechang breathed a sigh of relief again. At least it showed that Li Xingchen really didn't mean to do anything to the Nanchen royal family. In fact, she didn't know that Li Xingchen had no intention of mistreating him.
These "relatives".
Those who are talented will be sent to local officials to become local officials, while those who are not talented will be guarding the border or developing minerals. As for Chen Xu's daughters, there is nothing to worry about. There are many people who are single in the court or whose family is poor.
Okay, we might as well become brothers-in-law.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, what Chen Xu left behind was definitely a huge burden, but in Li Xingchen's view, this could not only give the ministers in the DPRK at least one more layer of connections, but also make up for the lack of local talents. (Unfinished)
