Han Shizu

Chapter 988
Qingyufang is neither a lifang nor a wine shop, but a very famous opera house in Kaifeng City. It is located on the bank of the Bian River. Over the years, famous opera houses have gathered. , The sound of laughter.

Living in an elegant room facing the river, you can clearly see the water scenery outside through the window, the boats shuttling on the Bian River, and the people on both sides of the river, you can have a panoramic view.Although it seems noisy, this scene of prosperity is still intoxicating.

There is an orchid in thin clothes, dancing enchantingly, showing a graceful figure, beside the table, is also accompanied by a beautiful woman, who speaks softly, lowers her eyebrows and is pleasing to the eye, serves the wine respectfully, and takes whatever she wants.
To Zhao Yanjin, there was nothing new about such a day, he had already taken care of it, there were many beauties in the family, and he also had a good experience in Yangzhou.

Therefore, this visit to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion is not for entertainment and release of nature, but mainly for entertaining guests.And being able to be the guest of Shan Guogong is of course an extraordinary status.

Opposite him was a strong man with a strong figure and a rough face, his face was red from drinking, but his eyes were fixed on Orchid, whose belly was half exposed and winking at him.This kind of bearded girl with a plump figure, a coquettish temperament, and a flamboyant look is full of allure for a man like him.This person is Qin Zaixiong, the envoy of the Pingcha Army and the leader of the Yao nationality.Since entering Beijing that year and submitting to the court, this is already the third time he has entered Beijing.

"Our Yao family daughters, although there are many beauties, but such amorous feelings are still rare!" Qin Zaixiong said to Zhao Yanjin with drunken eyes.

When Qin Zaixiong first arrived in Tokyo, it was Zhao Yanjin who was ordered to accompany him to eat, drink, and play. After all, a friendship was formed between the two.When the revelry came up, the chatter broke out. Qin Zaixiong said to Zhao Yanjin: "I went to Beijing last time and wanted to find Brother Zhao, but I found out that Brother Zhao was working in Yangzhou. It was a pity that I couldn't meet him. Now we meet again Yes, brother is already a general of one side, a noble to the Duke of the state, so you can't be too high!"

Over the years, Qin Zaixiong, a Yao barbarian, obviously learned a lot of Han culture, and his speech seemed to be polite.Sensing his envious tone, Zhao Yanjin smiled, and said: "I was only lucky enough to inherit my father's shadow and grace. In terms of merit, it is still far behind. In comparison, it is still Brother Qin who worked hard to reach heaven and listen , as long as you make some more contributions, it will be a matter of time before you can become a Duke and become a noble!"

Hearing what Zhao Yanjin said, Qin Zaixiong couldn't help showing a smile on his face. These years, the days in Hunan can be described as extremely nourishing.In addition to forming and commanding the Pingcha Army, more importantly, relying on the imperial court, he made a lot of contributions in recruiting the Manyao people in western Hunan.

And because of his fame in the early years, coupled with the fact that he led the people in his headquarters to join the imperial court, and his livelihood improved, he also attracted a small number of people from various prefectures to join him.Of course, Li Yun's local iron-handed oppression is indispensable.

As far as Qin Zaixion himself is concerned, he has achieved great success, receiving awards from the imperial court and support from all the tribesmen. It can be said that he has gained fame, wealth and power.

Therefore, these years, the results of recruiting can be described as remarkable. Although a large part of the Man and Yao people still adhere to the old living habits, they also recognize the rule of the Han Dynasty.However, it is not a small gain for the nearly [-] people to completely belong to the few people of the imperial court, especially for the Jinghu government.It can be said that the assimilation has achieved remarkable results, and the process of Sinicization has taken another big step forward.

Although most of the officials in charge of management came from his original patriarchs and chiefs, for the Manyao people, the ruling class has not changed fundamentally, but there is another court on top of them.

Among them, Qin Zaixiong and his family benefited the most. At the same time, the chiefs who accompanied him to Tokyo were more or less rewarded by the imperial court. Gradually separated from him.After all, sharing adversity is easy, sharing wealth is difficult.

However, Qin Zaixiong's influence among the Manyao people in western Hunan is constantly increasing.Fortunately, although this person is a man, he is indeed knowledgeable, smart enough, and not drifting.

This time when he returned to Beijing, he came to serve as a referrer, and accompanied Fu Yantong, the "King of Xu", into the court.Fu Yantong was an old Manyao chieftain who rose to prominence very early. During the era of the rise of Ma Yin, he began to straddle western Hunan and participated in a series of disputes in Hunan. He was considered an influential figure in Hunan during the three generations.

Even after the rise of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, it is still a role that cannot be ignored in the Hunan region. At the beginning, when Nanping Hunan, he sent envoys to contact him to win his support.As for Fu Yantong, he chose not to help each other and sit back and watch the success or failure. Because of his inherent impression, he only treated the big man as the Ma family in the past.

When Liu Chengyou heard about the reputation of this "King of Xu", he also sent someone to deliver a letter inviting him to visit Tokyo, but he was rejected.No matter how good Tokyo is, it is not as safe and comfortable as your own grass nest.

However, in the seven years after Hunan was brought under the rule, the development of Hunan's barbarians shocked him. There was a strong Han army outside, and Qin Zaixiong's defectors inside. .

Fu Yantong felt the annexation and encroachment of the imperial court, and he did not resist. He secretly instigated and organized some barbarians to go out of the cave to plunder, but what he faced was the decisive and cruel suppression of the Han army.

This is also very different from the results of the barbarians' invasion of Hunan provinces and counties in the early years, especially Li Yun, that old guy is a murderer, he suppressed the barbarians without mercy, and thousands of people were killed or injured under his hands.Even, Li Yun once directly said that those who submit to the imperial court and become good citizens of the Han Dynasty can be treated and protected well, and those who dare to resist, violate the law, or cause chaos will be dealt with according to Han law.

Previously, Li Yun was transferred away because Li Yun committed a lot of blood debts during the years of guarding Xiangxi. Although it frightened the barbarians and made them surrender, it also caused a lot of public resentment.To transfer it away is to further calm down.

Seeing that the situation is not good, the people of Manyao surrendered one after another and returned to the imperial court.This is because there are role models in front of them. They can get land and stabilize production, while the original leaders basically have to be awarded official positions, and through in-depth exchanges and transactions with the Han people, their living conditions and living standards have been significantly improved.

This kind of situation is even more attractive, and there is a famous hero like Qin Zaixion in the lead.Until now, Fu Yantong finally couldn't sit still. After several hesitations, he finally decided to go to Beijing, express his surrender to the emperor, and completely submit to the court and accept the rule.

Qin Zaixiong is a rising star, and has gained a lot of fame. However, when it comes to reputation, there is still a certain gap compared with old barbarians like Fu Yantong.

And Fu Yantong's entry into Beijing is of milestone significance, representing the Manyao people in Hunan, who have been completely brought under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and registered as Qimin.When the imperial court's digestion is over, the degree of consolidation of Hunan's rule will far exceed that of the previous generation. Of course, this is also based on the assimilation of Hunan for thousands of years.

Once successful, the influence of the imperial court will also be extended to the central and western regions of Guizhou.

"I have persuaded Fu Yantong a long time ago that as long as he submits to the imperial court, the imperial court will treat him favorably, and his status, property, fame and even power will all be preserved, and he will just become a subject of the imperial court!" Qin Zaixiong was still saying to Zhao Yanjin: "But, He just doesn't believe it. After all, he is old and has rejected the court's kindness several times. Now, because of the situation, he just came to Beijing. Isn't it too late? I think he must regret it."

"He who understands current affairs is a hero, like brother Qin is a hero in Qianzhong, why can't he become famous!" Hearing what he said, Zhao Yan smiled slightly.

Qin Zaixiong also laughed, obviously very useful.Seeing that his eyes were always cruising on the orchid, Zhao Yanjin was also very considerate and said, "Brother Qin is going back to Tokyo once in a while, so let's enjoy it!"

As a fellow-dweller, Qin Zaixiong heheed twice, looking impolite, but he suddenly thought of something and said: "This time I came to Beijing, I brought a few beautiful girls from my family, the most beautiful pearl is naturally dedicated to Your Majesty the Emperor, next, I will pick one and send it to brother Zhao's residence?"

"Brother Qin's kindness, then I will be disrespectful!" Zhao Yan came in with a little interest, raised his eyebrows slightly, and responded.
