Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Li Qingsong had no effective way to stop Lu Yu's insistence. He could only express his objection to Lu Yu's punishment method.

After all, Lu Yu was right, he was the governor here.

But three hours later, it was getting bright.

A piece of news came that shocked the entire expeditionary force.

Last night, during the massive attack on Thang Long Palace, the reserve force of more than 5,000 people led by Xiong Tingbi, the deputy governor of the expeditionary force, was attacked by a small group of local troops in Annan when passing through the southern foot of Qiongshan Mountain. Due to the terrain, The reason was that they were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Xiong Tingbi died on the spot, and more than 30% of the soldiers were killed. The rest of the army fought all the way to the vicinity of Shenglong Mansion, and were rescued only after being encountered by patrolling scouts.

"The southern barbarians of Jiaozhi are not enough to intimidate Xiaoxiao without using thunderous fury!" After receiving the news, Lu Yu was immediately furious: "From Beining City to Shenglong Mansion, all adult men of the Annan tribe were beheaded. The woman was kidnapped back to China, and this governor is going to carry out a plan to destroy the country!"

"Master Lu!" Li Qingsong was shocked when he heard this: "Absolutely not!"

"Master Li, at this time, do you still want to be kind to women?" Lu Yu frowned and looked at Li Qingsong: "If the news of Xiong Tingbi's death is spread back to the court, you and I will immediately turn the entire Annan into Chinese territory. , most of the credit will be wiped out!”

There were nearly 3,000 casualties, including the death of the deputy governor.

Expedition to Annan, if the result is reported to the parliament.

What awaits the two men is not only the accountability of the parliament, but also the pressure of public opinion from the Chinese people.

Since the establishment of the Parliament, when has it ever suffered such a defeat?
"The lower official believes that the main target of the attack should be the tribal forces that attacked Lord Xiong, rather than expanding the attack area to the entire Annan. In this case, how can we talk about ruling and how can we talk about establishing a foothold?" Li Qingsong couldn't accept such a large scope in his heart. practices that implicate civilians.

Execution is extremely harmful to the world.

"What about you? Do you think so too?" Lu Yu glanced at everyone.

“The students thought that if we wanted to shock people and highlight our merits, we could erect a monument in Tiannan to pay homage to our fallen comrades and heroes. This would not only have a deterrent effect on the people of Annan, but also demonstrate China’s magnanimity and let the people remember it! "Ding Kuangshao, the supervisor of the society, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said: "If the punishment is to be cut off, it may be counterproductive and make it difficult to govern."

When Lu Yu and Li Qingsong heard this, they looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.

"That's a fair statement. Monuments are used to establish merit and monuments are used to record events! It's better to establish one's word and morality and meritorious service!" Lu Yu patted her thigh: "Ding Xiaosheng, your suggestion is really good!"

"But," Lu Yu's face suddenly became serious, and she said seriously: "The tribe that attacked Xiong Tingbi must send a large army to destroy it, otherwise it will not be enough to establish its authority! We can talk about the rest later!"

"Master Li, what do you think?" Lu Yu looked at Li Qingsong sitting aside.

"As long as it's not a large-scale execution of beheadings, I don't have any suggestions for annihilating one or two tribes. The barbaric tribes should also be purified." Li Qingsong picked up the tea, took a sip, and started talking. The two tribes also fluttered lightly.

"Then it's settled," Lu Yu glanced at everyone: "In the past few days, we have gathered the noble tribes and civil and military officials in Annan first, and now we have stabilized the overall situation. As for the Li family and the Ruan family, we have already asked them to Swallowed to the trash heap! From now on, there is only the Annan Xuanwei Council!"

With the establishment of the Annan Xuanwei Council under the control of Lu Yu, a vast and far-reaching reform began in the ancient land of Cochin.

Although it is far away from the rule of the Central Plains, Annan actually still adheres to the military and political constitution since Emperor Chengzu. Even the Li family was canonized by Emperor Chengzu. Therefore, Lu Yu’s reform can actually copy the work of Beijing’s parliamentary reform. Although there were many killings and bloody suppressions, in fact a series of reforms were carried out steadily.

Of course, when annihilating the tribe that attacked Xiong Tingbi, there was an episode - the newly formed Annan Council wanted to preserve some tribal blood and asked Lu Yu for mercy.

Lu Yu only replied: "Whoever comes to ask for mercy again will have to pay for it with the life of his tribe!"

At this point, it took three months, and the entire reform was completed extremely smoothly.

At the same time, a large number of Han people from Guangxi and Guangdong also began to move towards Annan. On the one hand, there was a propaganda order issued by the Guangdong and Guangxi Parliaments. Anyone who went south to reclaim land and settle down would be given fifty taels of settlement silver. The Annan Parliament would also divide large areas. The land was given to the Han people free of charge. Each Han person could be allocated at least thirty acres of land, two Annan male slaves, and three women.

On the other hand, factories and navigation have become industries specifically supported by the parliament.

A large number of Han people poured into South Han City (renamed Thang Long), established factories, built shipyards, acquired large acres of land, and established trade channels connecting Annan and China.

In less than half a year, there were approximately 300,000 Han Chinese in Southern Han City.

In less than twenty years, this place will become a real place of China!

A large number of Han people want to establish their own commercial map on the uncultivated wasteland of Annan Xuanweisi.

In November of the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, in the center of South Han City, which was the original Shenglong Palace, after half a year, a monument was erected on the site of the original palace to commemorate the Han people who died and were injured on the expedition to Annan, as well as Lu Yu This is a monument to the comprehensive and thorough reform of Annan under the instructions of the consul.

The huge stone monument, which is fifty-six meters high and seventeen meters in circumference, is a holy place in the hearts of the entire Annan Han people, and it is also a sharp blade that intimidates Xiaoxiao.

Xiong Tingbi's body has been transported back to China, and a tomb was left at the place where he died.

So that future generations can pay tribute.

Lu Yu rode on the horse and looked back at South Han City and the Han Monument towering in the city - from now on, this place will always belong to China!

"Master Lu, when you go back this time to recover Annan's credit, you are the first person under the consulship." Li Qingsong followed Lu Yu on his horse and said with a smile: "Now, I have heard a lot of news. It is said that the consul intends to let you serve as Speaker of Parliament in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions after your two terms are over, in order to deepen the effect of reforms in the south."

The Guangdong and Guangxi Parliaments include parts of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian, as well as the entire Annan region.

It can be said to be the most powerful and authoritative position outside Beijing.

It can be seen that the governor attaches great importance to it.

"If you have such an honor," Lu Yu said with high-spirited excitement in her eyes, "then Lu will definitely live up to the expectations of the ruling lord!" (End of this chapter)
