"You don't know, the Southern Army and the court negotiated a peace and reached an agreement. The court gave Chief Murong the king of Zhennan, hereditary, and the Murong family had to declare to the court and send the hostages." Du Hongsheng smiled lightly. "The hostages, as long as they belong to the Murong family, they don’t have to be the heirs of the King of Zhennan, so this is just a superficial article. In addition, the court can appoint officials to southern Xinjiang. The names of the 20 counties were specifically written, which means that the court can send officials to these 20 counties. At that time, it was also to give the court a face and make peace talks reach an early date."

Qin Xiao smiled faintly: "The imperial court can send officials to Southern Xinjiang, and it can tell the world that Southern Xinjiang still belongs to the Tang Dynasty. This is not bad for self-deception."

"However, the county magistrates of the 20 counties naturally cannot satisfy the face of the imperial court. Moreover, these counties are the poorest and poorest counties in southern Xinjiang, and they are all deep mountains and old forests." Du Hongsheng sighed: "Many places in southern Xinjiang are The tribal chieftains are controlled by the six chieftains of southern Xinjiang. The power of these chieftains is deeply entrenched in southern Xinjiang. Even the Murong family is mainly to woo and appease the six chieftains. These twenty counties are almost all over the six chieftains. The officials sent by the Murong family have no real power, and the officials sent by the court are even more ornamental."

Qin Xiao held a cup to Du Hongsheng and poured him some wine before asking, "Is that Xiang County also controlled by the six chieftains?"

"At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was a local separatist regime established by Li Jialuoning and the local tribes in Xiangjun, calling itself Daning State." Du Hongsheng explained: "Datang was invincible in conquering southern Xinjiang. Only Daning relied on its geographical advantage and resisted to the end It took several years for the empire to destroy Ningguo. However, although Li Jialuoning was killed, the remnants of the party were not completely eliminated. They were sheltered by the indigenous tribes. The empire could not kill all the natives of southern Xinjiang, mainly for comfort. Lord, the Southern Xinjiang Duhu Mansion was established in southern Xinjiang and the titles of the heads of the six indigenous tribes were conferred. In fact, the six tribes were used by the court to help Duhu Mansion control the entire southern Xinjiang."

Qin Xiao didn't know much about Nanjiang, and even less about these past events. At this time, after listening to Du Hongsheng's explanation, he realized that Nanjiang was much more complicated than he thought before.

"At the time of Emperor Mingzong, the Duan Guifang of the Southern Xinjiang Duhu Mansion made himself a king and raised his troops to revolt." Du Hongsheng said, "Duan Guifang spent more than 20 years in the southern Xinjiang Duhu position before he rose from the army, but he did. Talents can help the people in the environment, develop production, and actively trade. The relationship with the six chieftains is also very harmonious. Under his rule, southern Xinjiang was once prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Moreover, this person is good at camping and bribing in North Korea. Many officials, in this way, many officials in the DPRK spoke for him, Emperor Mingzong also felt that this talent was outstanding and could comfort one party, so Duan Guifang was as stable as Mount Tai in the position of the southern Xinjiang."

Qin Xiao had already understood, and said softly: "Duan Guifang is ambitious. He is buying people's hearts in southern Xinjiang to accumulate strength, just thinking that one day he can become a king on his own."

"That's it." Du Hongsheng sighed: "So after Du Guifang rebelled, it took another three years for the court to pacify it. After regaining southern Xinjiang, the Southern Xinjiang Duhu was abolished and the southern Xinjiang was divided into Jiaozhou and Jiaozhou. Liuzhou, and each has a provincial governor, who will be changed every three years."

"In that case, Chang Murong is like

How to make it bigger?"

"Actually, there has always been no big problem." Du Hongsheng said softly: "However, when the first emperor took the throne, the local chieftain of Jiaozhou initiated a rebellion. The governor of Jiaozhou was incompetent. Together with the rebels, they abandoned the city and fled and were directly occupied by the rebels. Jiaozhou Mingcheng. The imperial court was about to send troops to quell the rebellion and did not want to gather hundreds of soldiers from the guard of Cangwu County of Jiaozhou, Murong Sude, and gathered several chieftains who were loyal to the imperial court. They quickly regained Mingcheng and brought the rebel leader to the head. The first emperor was sent to Kyoto quickly. The first emperor Longxin rejoiced and appointed Murong Sude as the governor of Jiaozhou. And because of that battle, the reputation of the Murong family was so powerful in southern Xinjiang that the chieftains of the various chieftains were in awe of the Murong family."

Qin Xiao really heard about Murong Sude's name for the first time and asked softly: "What is the relationship between Murong Sude and Murong Chang? Father and son?"

"Exactly." Du Hongsheng said: "The biggest mistake of the first emperor is to believe in the Murong family. The first emperor felt that the Southern Front Chieftain was so in awe of the Murong family. In order to avoid the gang of aggressive local chieftains from causing chaos, he kept the Murong family sitting here. In Jiaozhou, Murong Sude was quite loyal to the imperial court when he was alive, but because of his management, the Murong family’s influence in Jiaozhou was already deeply entrenched, and even reached Liuzhou. Murong speed died of illness. Some officials in the DPRK played, thinking that it was the time when another official was sent to replace Murong's family. But less than half a month after Murong Sude's death, another rebellion broke out in Jiaozhou. That is to say, the current Zhennan King Murong took over as his father and put down the rebellion, and it only took him less than a month to restore Jiaozhou to calm."

Qin Xiao sneered and said: "Murong Sude passed away, and someone immediately rebelled. It happened that the Murong Changdu rebelled and took over his father's position, allowing the Murong family to still be rooted in southern Xinjiang. This rebellion really helped the Murong family."

Du Hongsheng smiled faintly. The two knew it well and didn't say anything about it. Du Hongsheng continued: "Compared with Jiaozhou, Liuzhou is far less than Jiaozhou in terms of population and region. Even more, Liuzhou is still changing the governorship every three years. The Murong family’s influence in Liuzhou is much greater than that of the six-state governors. And because of commerce, the Murong family’s influence has already penetrated into Liuzhou, so after the saints ascended the throne, the first thing Murong did was to attack. He entered Liuzhou and controlled the entire southern Xinjiang with no effort. Up to now, the two southern states are under the control of the Murong family, and all officials, large and small, are members of the Murong family, except for the poor listed by the twenty Murong families. For counties, only the position of county guards can be assigned by the imperial court."

"Xiang County is in Liuzhou?"

"Yes." Du Hongsheng nodded, "Moreover, it is the most barren county in Liuzhou. There are aboriginal tribes everywhere. In fact, the Murong family can't completely control Xiangjun. If the court wants face, Murong's family just lost the position of Xiangjun. For the imperial court, but no matter who arrives in Xiangjun, it can only be a decoration, and government orders cannot be issued to the county government."

"That's the case." Qin Xiao suddenly realized, frowning: "Situ Butang sent you to Xiang County, wouldn't it...?" Thinking of the ears on the wall, although his voice was low, he did not continue.

Du Hongsheng was calm and unusual. He drank a cup and smiled: "The staff sent me to Zhen County, Xiling. I stayed for eight years. From then on, I was destined to have no future. This time Zhen County fell into the rebel army. By the hand, although the imperial court pulled out Fan Wenzheng to condemn the crime, I, Zhen County, can not be blamed for not killing me, but sending me to southern Xinjiang.

Up.I was originally a decoration in Zhen County, but now I go to Xiang County, just changing the place, it's no big deal."

Although he was smiling, his tone had already looked away.

"I am leaving this time and want to say goodbye to you, just because I know very well that if we leave this time, maybe we will never see each other again." Du Hongsheng sighed lightly, "Although Xiling is very windy and sandy, it is still manageable. However, southern Xinjiang is very humid, and the miasma pests are also poisonous. I was suddenly transferred from the west to the south. I was definitely not adapted to the climate there. Maybe I would die there after a year or a half. Even if I adapted to the past The imperial court will never think of me as the guardian of Xiangjun for ten or eight years. If nothing else, Xiangjun should be my burial place."

"My lord, there is no absolute in everything." Qin Xiao knew that Du Hongsheng's words were from the bottom of his heart. When he was parting, he treated himself sincerely, with a heavy heart, and said softly: "Maybe there is a sudden change. You can leave Nanjiang early."

Du Hongsheng leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice and laughed: "You mean the court sent troops to attack southern Xinjiang? Hey, if so, Murong Changdu will be the first to use my head to sacrifice the flag." He shook his head and sighed, "In fact, these are these. In 2017, I really hope that the court can conquer southern Xinjiang as soon as possible, so that Xiling will regain the hope. But now I go to southern Xinjiang. If the court wants to attack southern Xinjiang, I will be the first to lose my life, Qin Xiao, you say me Should I hope that the court will send troops, or do I hope that they will never send troops? Now even I am a little confused."

Qin Xiao didn't know how to answer.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door, and someone said: "Master Du, if there is nothing important, let’s set off as soon as possible. The order will make us leave the city today. If we delay leaving the city later, we can’t go up. Explain." Naturally, it was urged by the official who escorted Du Hongsheng to take up his post.

Du Hongsheng agreed, picked up the jug, poured himself a glass, held the glass in his hand, but did not drink it, looking thoughtful at the wine in the glass.

Qin Xiao stood up, then turned his back to Du Hongsheng, took out the banknote from his arms and drew out two thousand taels of banknotes. Two thousand taels is of course a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but for those who have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. For Qin Xiao, it wasn't a big deal.

He put away the other banknotes, took two thousand taels of banknotes, and stuffed them into Du Hongsheng's hands. Du Hongsheng glanced at him and was a little surprised: "You...what are you...?"

"My lord, you don't need to say anything about this trip to southern Xinjiang. I know that when you returned to Beijing from Xiling, you couldn't bring out anything." Qin Xiao whispered: "These silvers, you can use them as entanglements on the way. In southern Xinjiang, with this little silver in hand, many things should be easier to handle."

Du Hongsheng smiled bitterly: "Thank you for worrying about me, but I can't accept it...!" So he pushed back, Qin Xiao held his arm and said, "We are suffering together, so we don’t have to be so clear. , You take it, if there is a chance in the future, I will visit you in southern Xinjiang."

"Okay." Du Hongsheng smiled, his eye circles turned red, and he patted Qin Xiao's shoulder: "I'm waiting for you in Nanjiang. I heard there are good wines there. I'll wait for you to drink." No longer insist, know this trip In southern Xinjiang, everything is difficult. With this little silver on hand, many things will indeed go much smoother. When he takes it into his arms, his face shows gratitude.
