Fortunately, Du Qi, Li Xun and others all know the etiquette of the Han family to some extent. Of course, this kind of thing cannot happen to them. To the other Ba people generals and leaders, Li Xingchen is like a god of death.
As for the existence of Li Xingchen, they have always chosen very wisely to stay away from him.
After all, gods cannot be offended.
But he also had to admit that it was more pleasant to speak directly like this.
Du Qi smiled and said: "The reputation of the general has spread to Nanzhong. My subordinates just mentioned the general's name, and many tribes in Nanzhong have heard of it."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, and then realized that this probably had to rely on the Xiajiang Tang Clan's caravan. The Xiajiang Tang Clan has grown rapidly in recent years, and after all, the Xiajiang Tang Clan is on the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so it is difficult to directly communicate with them.
Nanchen has too many direct commercial contacts, so the Xiajiang Tang Clan's goals are naturally aimed at the north and south. This also makes many Xiajiang Tang Clan's caravans go deep into the Nanzhong Shiwan Mountains to do business with those Nanzhong tribes.
With such back and forth, the Nanzhong tribe naturally knew nothing about the outside world as Li Xinchen imagined, especially since Li Xinchen's deeds in Bashu had spread to the ears of various tribes in Nanzhong along with the caravan.
Du Qi then said: "Now Nanzhong is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Zhou people. The Zhou people still have a few officials in Nanzhong, but these officials have dispersed after the general conquered Shu County. The Han and barbarians in Nanzhong have
The Han people are doing their own thing, and the Han people mainly gather in a few cities such as Jianning. In fact, there are not many people left. After all, those who can walk in the desolate land of Nanzhong have already cleared it."
After a pause, Du Qi looked at Dong Shanping beside him. Dong Shanping nodded slightly: "Our Nanzhong tribe is mainly divided into two parts. More than ten tribes in the north mainly live in the mountains around Jianning, while some tribes in the south
It has gradually retreated into the mountains in the south, and there is no longer much contact with us."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows and roughly understood what Dong Shanping meant. Judging from the geography of later generations, the tribes of South and Central China have now formed obvious divisions. The tribes of Dong Shanping and others are actually located in the mountainous areas of Guizhou in later generations. Here
It is rich in forest products and mineral resources, so it can trade with the caravans of the Tang family in Xiajiang.
And some of them have retreated into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, making them really hard to find.
Li Xinchen did not expect to be able to easily hold the entire Nanzhong in his hands. After all, Nanzhong was so big, and the connections between these tribes were also very weak, and there was not such strong mutual trust, so it was definitely not possible for these tribes to eventually become naturalized under Li Xinchen.
Something that happened overnight.
But Li Xingchen doesn't mind taking precautions.
"Now the eleven tribes in the north are mainly concentrated on Zhu Ti. The entire Zhu Ti is actually under the control of the northern ministries." Du Qi said solemnly, "It even includes Zangda County on the east side of Zhu Ti and Yuexun on the west side.
Branches of the eleven northern tribes exist in every county."
The Eastern Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty should have the most complete rule over Nanzhong. The veteran general Ma Yuan pacified Nanzhong, which made Nanzhong included in the original map of the Central Plains for the first time. After that, Zhuge Liang's entry into Nanzhong caused the original looseness due to war.
Even the disintegrated ruling framework became solid again, and the Shu Han took this opportunity to complete the administrative division of Nanzhong.
It was also at this time that the governor-general of Gajiang appeared for the first time, and there were names such as Zhu Ti, Zang Da, Yuexun, Jianning, etc. that would be remembered by future generations. Even the word "Yunnan" came from "Yunnan County".
The method first appeared on the stage of history, but at this time Yunnan County mainly included Dali, Lijiang and other places in later generations, while the Kunming area was the territory of Jianning County.
It's a pity that after the war in the Central Plains, the Jin Dynasty moved south, and the rule of the barbaric land thousands of miles away in Nanzhong naturally relaxed. Only a few states in name only were established. Most of the cities and villages have been abandoned, and Nanzhong has been abandoned.
Zhongye was once again abandoned from the granary and rear area of Shu Han.
In the reincarnation of the world, Nanzhong has become what it is now again. I wonder what those who have worked hard to develop and build it will think when they see it.
However, although the original administrative divisions of Nanzhong have been disrupted, among the local people, the names left over from the Shu Han are naturally more appropriate and convenient. This makes place names such as "Zhu Ti" already administratively
It no longer exists, but it still lives on in the mouths of Nanzhong people.
We can't talk about who abandoned whom in Nanzhong and Zhongyuan. We can only say that the changes of the times have made each have their own helplessness. However, times make heroes, and now it just gave Li Xinchen a chance to clean up the mountains and rivers of Nanzhong.
Dong Shanping then said: "General, our eleven tribes are closely connected. There is a lack of food in the mountains, so we have to rely on the general. This time, Chief Du Shao came and explained the general's intention to us clearly.
, it is an honor for our tribes to be able to serve the general."
Li Xinchen's request to the various ministries in Nanzhong is actually very simple. He needs the manpower of various ministries in Nanzhong, and in turn, he will give the various ministries in Nanzhong the food they want. Li Xinchen now has enough land, but lacks manpower, and Nanzhong
The ministries are located in the mountains, with a large population, but they have not expressed their opinions. This is a complementary cooperation between the two parties, so it is reasonable for the ministries in Nanzhong to agree happily.
"The manpower selected by Master Ouyang has almost been assembled," Li Xingchen said after careful consideration. "Luo Ya and Pei Zilie have already said hello and will select the corresponding officials and soldiers to accompany the team into Nanzhong. This team's
The number is around five hundred, and we need your support and protection."
Dong Shanping's expression also became solemn. Although the Nanzhong ministries had a large number of people, they were scattered in large and small mountains. In fact, there were rarely hundreds or thousands of people working together. Li Xingchen suddenly sent five hundred people here. Once they couldn't handle it,
If it is good, it may cause a lot of disputes and conflicts.
You must know that not everyone in the various ministries supports such a comprehensive cooperation with Li Xinchen at this time, so no one knows what may happen by then. After all, if they deliberately want to sabotage, it is easy for them to find an opening.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Xinchen decided to send a certain number of soldiers and horses to protect him. The main purpose of this team, in addition to carrying gifts to make friends with various ministries in Nanzhong, was mainly to explore Nanzhong's timber and mineral resources. These are
The workshop currently established by Li Xingchen is in urgent need, otherwise it would not be dominated by craftsmen selected by Ouyang Mo.
Although the Guizhou area is mountainous and not conducive to farming, it also has many mineral resources. Li Xinchen didn't want to give up just like that.
This is also the most important reason why he wants to intervene in Nanzhong.
As a latecomer, he knew very well how important metal mines were.
