On the clear and mirror-clearing river surface, a fleet was surging up the river.

Liu Rengui, who came from the Central Plains, looked at the river and couldn't help but sigh that the river was so beautiful. He was born in the Central Plains and saw a lot of turbid rivers like the Yellow River.

"It's so beautiful."

A thin black man with a tattoo with a broken hair next to him stood barefoot and said, "What are the beautiful mountains and rivers? They are just poor waters."

"Afa, I think this place is pretty good." Liu Rengui said to the guide.

"When you arrive at Luodoudong, you will know that it is not so good. The people in the cave are famously rude."

Liu Rengui was thinking about it. Because he killed Feng Xuan, Li Jing personally asked for me. He was issued an edict by the emperor to be promoted to Huairen School. This was the seventh rank among the military officer ranks, and the fifth among the eight schools. The eighth ranks of the martial arts ranks were from the eighth ranks. From the nineth ranks, they were the eighth ranks of the martial arts, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garrison, the garri

The eight lieutenants above were eight corpses, and the sixth corpses were up to seventh corpses, and they were founded in the eight corpses, including Jianjie, Fenwu, Xuanhui, Suide, Huairen, Shuyi, and Chengxin.

After obtaining the Huairen School, who was ranked seventh-rank, he was also appointed by Li Jing as the commander of the newly established Huaide Camp in Huaide County, Yongxi County, Guangdong Province, and commanded the 500 battalions.

Huaide County is located south of Yongxi County, located on the border with Gaoliang County to the south, and to the west are cloudy and misty mountains. Crossing the mountain is the north flow of Hepu County.

Huaide, at the junction of the three counties, has a complex situation, especially in an uncivilized mountainous area. Huaide County has also been opened for a short time, mainly from Luo Doudong.

Afa was a guide whom Li Jing drew to him, a native of Yongxi Huaide. Later, he went to Nanhai County to work, and was a very clever person.

Although he had broken hair and tattooed barefoot, it was no different from the slang people here, Afa still firmly stated that he was a Han Chinese.

The ship was rowing on the clear river surface, and Afa introduced the situation to the new boss. He has now transferred to Huaide Camp as a guide and is a non-staff member.

"I am actually a Han Chinese. After Emperor Shin-Yi-Emperor pacified the six kingdoms, he sent 500,000 troops south to conquer Baiyue. Baiyue was defeated by the Qin army and was eventually defeated. Some people surrendered and some migrated to the southwest. However, soon after the Central Plains was in chaos and the Han Dynasty was established. The Qin army on Lingnan established the Nanyue Kingdom under the leadership of Zhao Tuo, with Panyu (Guangzhou) as its capital. It took several generations of kings and was destroyed by the Han for more than a hundred years."

Afa's ancestors were one of the 500,000 Qin troops who went south back then. They went south to Lingnan, defeated Baiyue, and took root in Lingnan. Qin State was destroyed. They established the Nanyue State with Zhao Tuo. Later, the Nanyue State was destroyed by the Han Dynasty, so they became subjects of the Han Dynasty.

However, because the mountains are high and the road is far away, the Han Dynasty actually implemented a system of restraint for the Lingnan region, and did not impose taxes on the Lingnan people. Local chiefs were appointed as county chiefs. Local governments paid tribute to local local products every year to maintain their allegiance to the central court.

It is precisely because of this that Lingnan has basically been autonomous since then.

Of course, because of the Qin army that went south in Lingnan, and Ma Yuan and others went south several times during the Han Dynasty to quell the rebellion, many Han people were left behind. In addition, Han people continued to move south in all dynasties, so there were three ethnic groups in the Lingnan area.

A group of people is like Afa and others. Their ancestors were Han people who went south. Later, they took root in Lingnan and began to live together with the local Baiyue people, and gradually formed a group that was very different from the Central Plains, but they still considered themselves to be people from the Central Plains.

Another large group is the Yi'an area in eastern Guangdong, which is the Chaoshan area in later generations. The people here are mainly Heluo people who moved south. Their ancestors lived in the Luoshui area of ​​the Yellow River and later moved south. These people lived in the Chaoshan area of ​​southern Fujian and maintained their own customs and traditions, which is different from the descendants of the Qin army who went south to the south like Afa and others.

It can be said that the Heluo people are also a Han Chinese, but they are still different from Han and Yue mixed races like Afa and others.

"If you want to say that the largest ethnic group in Lingnan is of course the slang."

"Liliao should actually be considered two ethnic groups." Afa and Liu Rengui, Liren, generally refers to the Yue people who live on the plains of the mountains. Their ancestors were mainly Ou people, while Liao people were mainly Luo Yue people. In short, they were all one of the Baiyue people in the past."

Nowadays, the Liliao is similar to the Han people, but in fact there are still big differences. For example, the Li people mainly live on flat land and live in the unit of cave. The original meaning of cave refers to flat land among the mountains.

The sound of Liao is lao, and they mainly live on the mountain.

Li people are good at fishing and farming, while Liao people are good at hunting. In comparison, Li people get along better with us Han people, and they are more familiar with each other, while Liao people are even more fierce.

During the thousands of years of integration of Han and Yue, the descendants of the Qin army, Afa and others, had long become local natives. Together with the Han officials and soldiers who later went south, they expanded their sphere of influence in Lingnan bit by bit. Today, they mainly gathered in important passes and plains such as Nanhai County, Guilin County, and Jiaozhi County. Later, they even gradually produced Han heroes such as the Feng family of Ning family. After several generations of efforts, they became Li Zhengs.

During the thousands of years of integration of Han and Yue, they also formed a fusion language, ancient vernacular. This ancient vernacular is actually a language invented by the Qin people after they went south and communicated with Baiyue. It is a new language that compared the pronunciation of Baiyue and ancient Chinese.

Later, it gradually became a common term in Lingnan.

This kind of ancient vernacular language includes both ancient Chinese and Baiyue language, which is very similar to the official language in the Central Plains today, but it can still be understood more clearly.

If Afa calls his father Laodou, Liu Rengui always finds it strange, but some words are similar to the Chinese Mandarin. Fortunately, Afa has been in Nanhai County for several years, so he is now speaking the Mandarin of Central Plains. Even with a vernacular accent, Liu Rengui can understand it after all.

"I didn't expect that Li Liao actually has two ethnic groups."

"Yes, the Li people are used to use snails as horns, while the Li people are used to use bronze drums. The Li people are good at fishing and firing pottery and porcelain, while the Li people are good at hunting and smelting bronze and iron. The Liao people have bronze drums in almost all tribes. They have some alliances between their respective trunks. The leader of the alliance is the chief. Some chiefs also have huge bronze drums weighing thousands of pounds, and are carved and painted with many patterns. They are very beautiful. They also worship Thor."

"Where is the slang guy?" Liu Rengui asked.

"Slang people, they worship frogs."

"Frog?" Liu Rengui didn't understand what frogs have to worship. It's normal for you to worship Thunder God. After all, the power of thunder and lightning is so powerful, but how is the frog powerful?
