Chapter 1115 Hidden needles in cotton

Feng Ann was a tall middle-aged man with a burly figure, a heavy face, and a long beard. When he saw Li Chao, he rushed up, lifted his cloak, and bowed to him.

"Feng Ann, the governor of Gaozhou, paid homage to King Yue."

Li Chao smiled and stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Feng Ang’s arms, "Governor Feng has come to help, but he has not left the city to greet him in time, and he offended him."

Feng Ang got up and looked at Li Chao with his eyes, and found that the world-famous King of Yue was too young and much younger than his son. But such a person was like a dragon crossing the river, putting them in an extremely awkward situation at once.

"It's too late for the officials to come." He turned to Feng Xuan and others and said, "They were also confused. They dared to make trouble if they believe the rumors. They didn't think about it. Since the Han and Jin Dynasties, Lingnan has surrendered to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains has always allowed the Lingnan people to govern the Lingnan people. How could Your Majesty kill you?"

Ning Changzhen, Feng Xuan, Pang Xiaogong, and Zhou Xiaojian were tied up and stood there.

"Don't you kneel down and apologize to the King of Yue!" Feng Ann shouted loudly.

Li Chao looked at Feng Ang's behavior and just smiled. His words were still a bit threatening. What kind of people in Lingnan governed Lingnan was the past. Now, how could there be such a good thing?

Since you have lost, you have lost.

"Since you can be lost and you will be back, it's not too late." Li Chao called Feng Ang's behavior, "Since several generals realize their mistakes and are willing to repent, I am very happy. Come and relax the four governors!"

"Sitting for the seat!"

Feng Ang said to the four people, "Why don't you thank the King of Yue for not killing him." After he said that, he turned his head and changed into a smiling face. "King King of Yue, they were also obsessed with ghosts. You see, they are sincerely repented now. When the King of Yue reported to the court, they would say a few good things for them. Since the Sui Dynasty, Lingnan has not been at ease, thieves have been rampant, and Liya has been in chaos. The place has been supported by the hard work of those of us. If there is no credit, there will be hard work."

"Governor Feng's words are reasonable, and he has made great contributions. He can still repent when he makes mistakes. Although I was appointed as the ambassador of the Seven Departures of the Southwest, I have no right to deal with the four governors. In this way, I will send someone to send four to the capital, and you will explain to the emperor in person. How about it?"

Feng Ann frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Li Chao would once again not play according to common sense. Under normal circumstances, since Feng Xuanning surrendered, the court should not blame him and even reward him and appease him. After all, they had the final say in Lingnan.

But now, Li Chao wants to send these four people to Hanjing to meet the saint.

this······

Before he could speak, Li Chao said seriously, "The four generals will rest here. I will send a boat to send four people to Beijing tomorrow morning."

Ning Changzhen was speechless.

He looked at Feng Ang, and the Lingnan families were still led by Feng Ang.

But Feng Ang didn't know what to say at this time.

"King Yue, will this matter be left first? There are still many slangs outside that need to be appeased. They still have some prestige here. Can they make meritorious service and comfort these people before they can talk about it?"

Li Chao glanced at Feng Ang, and wanted to scare him like this?

"Don't worry, I have a way to appease the people outside, so the four generals will not worry about it."

Feng Ang's face looked very ugly, and he didn't expect that Li Chao would not give him any face.

Liu Rengui strode in.

"Report to the King of Yue, Jiaozhou, Vietnam, and 8,000 reinforcements have arrived at the Zhumuhai Sea, just outside Qinzhou Bay. In addition, the Yangtze River Fleet's 100 warships and the 8,000 royal division are about to arrive in Guangzhou."

"Hahaha, they came very quickly." Li Chao laughed.

Feng Ang's expression changed drastically.

He was thinking about the authenticity of these two news. There were not many official troops in Jiaozhou and Vietnam, but it was not impossible to raise hundreds of ships and eight thousand soldiers. One Nanyang company alone was extremely powerful, with hundreds of merchant ships and many caravan guards.

There is also Guangzhou. If the Beiya Yangtze River Fleet goes south to Guangzhou, then his hometown Gaozhou will be very dangerous.

Li Chao has made such a ruthless method and has already played chess step by step.

And he is wrong, every step he is wrong.

Outside Qinzhou City, there were tens of thousands of troops of the chiefs of Lingnan, but at sea, there were two fleets of Li Chao and more than 10,000 reinforcements. No matter how you look at it, Feng Ann had no advantage at all.

At this time, I swallowed my teeth into my stomach, and I could only do this.

Feng Ang turned to his elder brother Feng Xuan and his niece-in-law Ning Changzhen and said, "You have made mistakes in a daze, so you should personally confess to Your Majesty. You will go to Beijing early tomorrow morning."

Ning Changzhen and the other four had no choice but to respond.

After dealing with these people, Li Chao asked someone to have a tea.

"Please send individuals out of the city and let the lords of the Xiwu come to the city for the banquet as well. I have prepared good wine and good dishes!"

Outside Qinzhou City and on the riverside, more than 50,000 rebels were in charge for ten miles. The originally tense atmosphere of war became relaxed at this time. The Liwu was not required to fight anymore, and the Liwu was happy. In fact, few people were willing to fight, especially after seeing the power of the official army.

After receiving orders sent by Feng Xuan and other chiefs, the masters of each house rode into the city happily.

The situation in Lingnan is quite special. Although it is divided by several powerful people such as Feng Ningchen, they do not have complete control over their own territory. They set up prefectures and counties on the territory, mainly controlling the plains of towns at the foot of the mountain. There are many Han people and Li Liao who have settled their homes, and these people are also called Shufan.

In those mountains, there were many Liya who were not naturalized. These people were divided into Xiwu, each with chieftains and formed their own tribes. Although the Feng and Chen families could call orders to these people on the surface, in fact, the relationship between the Xiwu and them was the same as their relationship with the court, and they were obedient to the tune or not.

It is precisely this complex situation that Feng Ang and others dare not rebel to the end. Lingnan was originally an alliance between the Han people who immigrated in the early years and the local Li Liao. It was also a loose alliance. There were pro-Tang factions like Ning Chun, Chen Longshu, and Chen Zhiluo, who were simply unable to confront the Central Plains.

In Qinzhou City, the banquet was held.

The wine and food were served, and the leaders of the Xiwu were heartless and happy to eat and drink. In their opinion, there was no need to fight, and life would be the same when they went back.

Only Feng Ang, Feng Xuan, Ning Changzhen and others had bad faces. They couldn't laugh at all. No matter how good the wine and food were, they would taste tasteless.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Li Chao got up and beat the wine glass with chopsticks.

Everyone stopped and looked at them.

"Everyone, all of you are here are the Han tyrants from Lingnan for generations and local liya chiefs. Today, we gather together in Qinzhou City to drink big drinks and eat meat in large pieces. That is a great fate. I, Li Chao, and Your Majesty Meng, were appointed King of Yue. The title of the country is not far from this. It is just west of Jiaozhou. We will be considered neighbors in the future. In the future, we will rely on everyone to take care of you!"

A group of people laughed and thought that this young King of Yue was easy to talk to.

"Of course, I was also appointed as the ambassador of the Propaganda and Condolences and Disposal by His Majesty in the Seven Southwest Provinces. However, these small problems in Lingnan have been solved now, and everyone will live the same life in the future."

Everyone cheered in unison again.

Then Li Chao announced that the people in Lingnan were exempted from taxes for one year, and the people in Liliao were exempted from taxes for the first three years after becoming naturalized.

The leaders of the slangwu reacted this time.

Except for those who were registered as naturalized by Feng Chen and others, the rest of the ligu lived happily in the mountains and did not have to pay taxes at all. Therefore, who cares about the three-year tax exemption for naturalization? In the past, Feng Chenning and his family often used the conditions for the half-tax to persuade them to become naturalized, but they were unwilling to do so. For this reason, there have been many battles.

Li Chao just kept smiling at this.

I had a great time having a meal.

Li Chao said goodbye to these leaders one by one, and the leaders who received a gift from Li Chao also said that they would take their children home when they left the city.

"King Yue, there is a Tan Hall in Jiangzhou. I am willing to go there and persuade me to surrender!" Feng Ang said.

"No." Li Chao refused with a smile.

The next morning, except for Feng Ang's troops, more than 30,000 rebels, all went home to find their mothers.

Li Chao also personally sent Feng Xuanning Changzhen and four rebel governors onto the ship.

After doing all this, Li Chao sent an envoy to Jiangzhou.

Three days later, Tan Hall under Jiangzhou City finally withdrew from the siege.

A week later, Tan Dian brought more than 10,000 men to the city of Qinzhou.

The other ones were Ning Xuan, the governor of Jiangzhou, Ning Chun, the governor of Nanhezhou, and their 8,000 troops.

Li Chao comforted Tan Dian who came to apologize for his words, and then sent him onto the boat and took him to Hanjing.

Then, Li Chao disbanded the troops of Tan Dian, Ning Xuan and others, and also allowed Feng Ang's soldiers to go back. However, Li Chao left Feng Ang, Ning Xuan and Ning Chun behind.

A few days later, Chen Longshu also came to pay a visit.

The clouds of war over Lingnan have dissipated, but the Lingnan chiefs present in Qinzhou were a little nervous.

Feng Ang and his several governors' sons, Ning Xuan and his son Ning Chun, as well as Chen Longshu, the governor of Longzhou, and Chen Zhiluo, the governor of Duanzhou.

After a rebellion, Li Chao's guest was still from Feng Ning and Chen's three families. The Chen family did not get involved in the rebellion this time, which was the least hit, but the other Feng Ning and the other two families were fine.

Ning Changzhen, Feng Xuan, Tan Dian, Pang Xiaogong, and Zhou Xiaojian were sent to the capital, and their subordinates were disbanded and returned home, which seemed to have no effect.

But Feng Ann knew that Li Chao could not calm the matter so easily, and there must be a future for this matter.

Qinzhou City, it turns out that Ning Changzhen’s mansion was still in Yazhou. This mansion has become Li Chao’s mansion.

"Everyone, the war and disaster will disappear, and the peace in Lingnan is very hard-won."

Feng Ann was waiting for Li Chao's words. This place is leaning against 100,000 mountains in the west and the Pearl Moon Sea in the south. There is an excellent Qinzhou Bay that can be used as a commercial port. There is Qinjiang connecting to the north, and Zuojiangyoujiangmanjiang and other rivers connecting to the north of Guangxi. Nowadays, sea trade is prosperous. We have Jiaozhou Port in the southwest and Guangzhou Port in the northeast. They are all prosperous Dashang Port. Qinzhou is in the middle. It is a must-pass place for merchant ships to travel. What is the reason to miss this development opportunity?"
