Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 566
"Ah, it's really cool!"

Li Dezhen, Yuchihuan, Cheng Chubi, Li Zhi, and Ren Hu walked to the shade. Yuchihuan sighed, and then Ren Hu said with a smile: "There is sour plum juice there, I saw there is also Ice, sit down, I'll get some."

After speaking, Ren Hu jumped up, took five large tea mugs, and ran to the sour plum juice supply place.

"Oh my God, Xiaohu's stamina is not built. He can eat and carry. I can't keep up with his vitality. If I had another half an hour to stand in the military posture just now, I would definitely be useless.

You say, is His Royal Highness Qi Wang really trying to punish us? "Cheng Chubi asked while lying on the ground.

"Where is this? You don't know. When my fifth brother was actually training the Huben Army, he looked cruel. It was those instructors. I watched them come out.

The platoon general Xu Shaoyang in our platoon, hehe, used to be a member of the Huben Army Rugui Company. In order to enter the Rugui Company, this guy stood in a military posture for ten hours, motionless, even when snakes, rats, insects and ants crawled on him. . "

"My God, is this still human?" Cheng Chubi was horrified.

"One thousand vs. thirty thousand wins. If it is a human, can it be done? The word tiger and ben is not so easy to control!" Li Deju looked slightly at the tiger and ben instructors on one side, standing one by one Sitting down, with strict discipline, he couldn't help but think of a sentence his father, the military god Li Jing, said when he left home.

"Hu Benwei will definitely be the strongest army in the Tang Dynasty in the future!"

At first Li Deju sneered, but now it seems that after only half a day, Li Deju has already felt the difference of the Huben Army, which is really different from other armies.

"Here comes the plum juice, hee hee. I also dug a lot of ice cubes."

Ren Hu ran back, and the five tea mugs were filled with sour plum juice.

"Thank you, Xiaohu, oh my waist." Yu Chihuan took a sip of a jar of sour plum juice while talking: "It's so refreshing, I don't even want to wake up."

"Hey. Who remembers who is the grandson? To be honest, I really envy those who ring the bell. However, I don't understand why General Zhou Tuan speaks so badly. If His Royal Highness Qi knows, these people He scolded him and left, so he won't come to settle accounts with him." Cheng Chubi frowned and asked.

"Huh!" With a sneer, Li Dezheng took a sip of sour plum juice and said lightly: "I don't think His Royal Highness Qi wants us to stay in the Huben Guard, does he?"

After finishing speaking, Li Deju looked at Li Zhi who was on the side.

Li Zhi took a sip of sour plum juice in embarrassment at this time and said: "Brother Li, don't look at me, my fifth brother thinks so, I don't think so, I think everyone is talented, it's a pity Ah, I want to listen to my fifth brother. The expenses of these people are all paid by my fifth brother, and the court didn't pay a penny.

Think about it for yourself, at this time, suddenly a group of people want to be officials in your team, would my fifth brother be happy? "

"Ah, I remembered." Cheng Chubi was excited: "Hu Benwei is not a mansion soldier, the 5000 people are all recruited by His Highness Qi Wang himself, and the court does not pay a penny. We use all the food and clothing. His Royal Highness King Qi cooks.

Tsk tsk, it seems that we will have a hard time in the future. His Royal Highness Qi wants us to leave very much. After we leave, the position of military officer can be vacated. Why should His Royal Highness Qi pay the money and raise soldiers for military officers like us? bit. "

"Chu Bi, you finally hit the point, that's why General Zhou Tuan is so unscrupulous. He hopes that the more we go, the better, so that the veterans of the Huben Army can get the military officer position, and they won't give us these You're a fool." Li Deju looked at Zhou Likai, who was talking with Qin Yong in the distance, who was unhappy and said: "From now on, the five of us must unite together. If anyone encounters difficulties, he must help. The opportunity to survive this military training together.

In addition, the subsequent training will become more and more cruel, but please believe me, as long as we can survive, then we will definitely get more things. "

"Well, Brother Li is right, let's work hard together!" Li Zhi giggled.

They nodded along with the others. Suddenly, the sound of the wooden whistle sounded, the rest ended, and the second half of the training began. Li Zhi and others started the training of standing in the military posture and walking in the queue again. When Hubenwei's first day of military training began, the Feng family in Lingnan, far away in the Tang Dynasty, was also carefully planning for the future of their own family.

Lingnan is today's Guangdong, Guangxi and northern Vietnam.Today, it is a densely populated, well-developed place of commerce and humanities. However, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was a land of alienation that everyone dreaded, and it was even called a barren land.

South of the Five Ridges and the Central Plains are separated by high mountains, and at the same time, there is an unbearable hot climate for the people of the Central Plains, so this place is also an excellent place to separate and claim the king.As long as there is chaos in the Central Plains, the local guards can block the roads, claiming to be lonely and few, and creating obstacles for the unification of the world.

For example, during the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Qin general Zhao Tuo once separatized Lingnan and established a powerful Nanyue Kingdom, which caused serious danger to the nascent Han Dynasty.Therefore, since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty called the enemy country in the north "Hu", and the enemy country in the south as "Yue".

However, what is surprising is that from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Lingnan area never had a separatist regime.

Ordinarily, there were frequent wars in the world at that time, which was the best time to split the regime, but why did the Lingnan area never drift outside the Chinese territory?And this must be attributed to a family. Lingnan Feng.

According to historical records, the Feng family in Lingnan was not a local aborigine.

In the 13th year of Song Yuanjia (436), Feng Hong, the emperor of Beiyan, lost his country, and Feng Ye "returned to Song Dynasty with 300 people because he stayed in Xinhui".Beiyan's royal surname is Feng, and his native place is Goguryeo.After the Northern Yan was destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, its survivors surrendered to the Liu Song Dynasty under the leadership of Feng Ye and were resettled in the Lingnan area.

In Lingnan, the Feng family has served as the local sheriff for generations.However, because they were originally a foreign family, they "could not order", which led to frequent rebellions in the local area.

In order to change the status quo, a patriarch named Feng Rong decided to follow the Romans and let his son Feng Bao marry a local female aristocrat named Xian, and she was the famous heroine Mrs. Xian in history.

Mrs. Xian was from Gaoliang in ancient times (now in Maoming, Guangdong Province). She participated in weapon fighting with her father and brother since she was a child.After Feng Xian got married, Mrs. Xian advised the sect to keep his own law and order; Feng Bao also asked his clansmen to "follow the people's etiquette" and fully integrate into the local tribe.In this way, Feng Bao and Mrs. Xian joined forces to manage Lingnan, which was originally rebellious and capricious, in an orderly manner.

Later, in order to win over Mrs. Xian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty also issued a special edict, that is to say, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty recognized the power of Mrs. Xian and the Feng family to rule Lingnan for generations.

And Mrs. Xian also reciprocated, and every once in a while she would call a meeting of her clan to educate her children in the way of "loyalty and filial piety".When a rebellion broke out in the Lingnan area, the Feng family would act as the vanguard of the country and immediately go to suppress the rebellion.

Feng An was the son of Mrs. Xian. After Mrs. Xian died, Emperor Sui Yang directly transferred Feng An out of Lingnan and named him General Zuowuwei. The name was to attack Goguryeo, but in fact it was to annex Lingnan after defeating Goguryeo.

But who knows, Emperor Sui Yang's conquest of Goguryeo was defeated, so Feng Ang hurried back from Luoyang to Lingnan, and then expanded his territory. He successively defeated Panyu, the emerging Gaofacheng, Xibaoche and other separatist forces, and took possession of Panyu , Cangwu, and Zhu Yadi, all of whom are called managers.

Then the road was closed. However, Feng An never proclaimed himself emperor. This is also where Feng An was very clever. Because of this, Feng An had the opportunity to contact Datang afterwards.

On July [-]th of the fifth year of Wude, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty had quelled the southern separatists such as Xiao Mian. They came to Lingnan and issued a call for appeasement to Feng An.

At this time, Feng An's control range was tens of thousands of miles, with a population of millions, and his strength had already surpassed that of Nanyue King Zhao Tuo.Therefore, some people persuaded him that the general situation of the world is still unclear, so it is better to separate the Lingnan and follow Zhao Tuo's example and claim to be the king of Yue.

But Feng An was very self-aware. He knew that his Lingnan could not fight against the Central Plains, so Feng An dedicated all 49 Lingnan states to the Tang Dynasty. Let it rule the eight states of Gao, Luo, Chun, Bai, Ya, Dan, Lin, and Zhen.

After that, the Feng family still lived in Lingnan for generations.

Feng An also took Chang'an as a hostage at that time, but Feng An was a smart man. After he entered Chang'an, he was very quiet at the beginning, which made Li Yuan feel at ease with him, but later, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Change.

And since then, Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty has been fighting all the time. In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Yi rebelled. The battle of Huihe against the Turkic Malu Mountain came to the second year.

The battle of Hexi in the third year of Zhenguan, and the battle of destroying the Eastern Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

At the beginning of the fifth year of Zhenguan, there was a rebellion by Pinghu and Xuebu. At this time, Feng An finally found an opportunity. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were already very tired. The family has been in charge of Lingnan for so long, and a small rebellion cannot be quelled, but it just can't.

Then Feng An volunteered to return to Lingnan to fight the rebellion. Li Shimin knew very well that Feng An would not come back after leaving, but now Li Shimin had no soldiers to use, so he had to let Feng An go back.

After Feng An went back, he quickly quelled the rebellion, but when Li Shimin summoned Feng Ang to the court again, Feng An had already used his illness as an excuse. I also submit to you, but he will not be controlled by you, he just wants to stay in his own Lingnan and live his own life.

This Lingnan also belongs to that kind of tasteless place, you don't want it, after all, it is the land of China, but if you want it, you have to pay some price, it is better to let Feng An get it.

Anyway, he doesn't claim to be emperor, so when he wants something, he will start a rebellion of Liao people. At this time, Tang Dynasty will send troops, and it will take time and effort to send troops. You can suppress it for a while, but you can't suppress it for a lifetime. .

But when the time came to the 17th year of Zhenguan, Feng An felt that he was going to die. At this time, Feng An wanted to leave a protection for his Feng family, so Feng An fixed his eyes on Li Mingda.
