Chapter 1130 Happy here, not thinking about Shu
Disposal ambassador yamen and yatang.
Feng Ang's head was placed in the hall, a brocade box filled with mercury. Soaked in mercury, his face was lifelike. You can even see the unwillingness and anger in his wide open eyes!
Ning Xuan felt sad when the rabbit died and the fox was also very scared.
Li Chao was wearing a python plate and sat in the hall.
"I originally trusted Feng Ang to be loyal to the court, and I also believed that it was true that he volunteered to go to Gaozhou to Xuanfu. But when someone sent someone to send him to return to Qinzhou to make other arrangements, he finally broke out in his true form and refused to come back."
"Feng Ang resisted the military order and rebelled openly. When the governor Niu led his men to stop him again, he blatantly drew his sword and refused to turn back when he died. General Niu had no choice but to fight and kill him."
Ning Xuan Ning Chun, Chen Zhiluo, the four Lingnan chiefs, lowered their heads and said nothing.
The King of Nanyue Feng Ang died, and died like this, and died silently.
Li Junxian stepped forward to ask for an order, "Your Highness, King Yue. Feng Ang was deeply grateful to the country, but he did not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. He colluded with Xian to plot against rebellion. The last general asked for an order, and was willing to lead his troops to attack Gaozhou and quell the rebellion among Feng Xian!"
Li Chao smiled, but his eyes looked at Chen Longshu.
Before Gaozhou fell, Li Chao appointed Chen Longshu, the former governor of Longzhou, to be transferred to Gaozhou, but Chen Longshu was delayed and did not take office. When the Feng family took Gaozhou, he was still in Longzhou.
Now that Gaozhou is lost, Chen Longshu, the governor, is of course responsible.
"Gaozhou is lost, and he will be guilty of the last crime. Please punish the King of Yue!"
Li Chao smiled and said, "Governor Chen, you are indeed responsible for this matter, but I am not the one who does not give you a chance. You lost Gaozhou, so you will give you a chance to redeem your sins and defeat Gaozhou. Feng Xian's two families have already planned to rebel and cause rebellion, and they are both rebellious parties. Governor Chen, I ordered you to lead your troops to fight against the rebels and take back Gaozhou!"
At the same time, Li Chao also ordered the governors of Luo, Ya and other states to be responsible for the removal of the two rebellious forces of Feng Xian.
With strict orders issued, Li Chao finally began to clean up the Feng Xian family, the strongest force in Lingnan. This time, it will be uprooted.
He ordered Chen Longshu to attack Gaozhou, but Li Chao did not hand over the command of the three thousand government soldiers in Gaozhou to Chen Longshu. Instead, Li Chao sent two generals Li Junxian and Wu Heita to control the three thousand government soldiers in the name of cooperating with Chen Longshu.
Li Chao also ordered Duanzhou Governor Chen Zhiluo to send troops to cooperate.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Chao had to clean up Feng Xian's family, but he also used the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves, and used the Chen family forces in Duan Taki's two states to deal with Feng Xian.
It was obvious that Li Chao was going to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.
The Chen family destroyed the Feng Xian family and did not get any benefits. Li Junxian and Wu Heita would immediately receive the fruit of Gaozhou. If the Chen family could not defeat and both sides were injured, Li Chao would send troops again, and then he would still reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Li Chao’s plan was obvious, but the Chen family could do nothing about it.
Li Chao suppressed it with the orders of the court, and they had no choice.
The Feng family has learned from the past, so they cannot dare to rebel.
"The official is here to receive the order!"
Chen Longshu and Chen Zhiluo both stepped forward to receive the order.
Both of them were in a complicated mood. Chen Longshu was a firm local faction. Chen Zhiluo, because he had brought thousands of children from this county to Yang Guang's Xiaoguo army in his early years, fought east and west, and was in the Central Plains for a long time, so he was not so resistant to the Central Plains court entering Lingnan.
On that day, the Chen family's uncle and nephew left Qinzhou.
During dinner in the evening, Wang Gui asked Li Chao, "Are you afraid of forcing the Chen family's uncle and nephew to rebel?"
Wang Gui was once a member of the prince Jiancheng. Li Chao also stayed in the built East Palace for a while and got along well with Wang Gui. He was a capable person. Wang Gui later joined Li Shimin. He showed his skills in recent years, which was highly praised by Li Shimin.
Two years ago, Li Chao also had a relative in-laws with Wang Gui's family, Taiyuan Wang. Although Li Chao's son was not Wang Gui's daughter, he was also his niece.
This time, Wang Gui was transferred from the Left Chief of the Shangshu Province to the local area and became the Guangdong Xuanfu Envoy and the Governor of Guangzhou, but this was not considered a demotion. Although Guangdong is in Lingnan, Guangzhou has always been a developed area of Lingnan. Especially in recent years, Lingnan has become increasingly important. Guangdong Xuanfu Envoy and the Governor of Guangzhou are considered to be a local important member with great authority. Compared with the Shangshu Province, which has been declining in status, Wang Gui's transfer this time was actually to lay a solid foundation for him to become a prime minister in the future.
However, Wang Gui was a literati after all, and was a little worried about Li Chao's drastic actions in Lingnan, and was always afraid that things would be too late to deal with.
As soon as Li Chao came to Lingnan, he first quelled Feng Xuan, Tan Dian, Ning Changzhen and others in rebellion. Afterwards, he drove the Ning family out of Qinzhou and Hepu. Now he forced the Feng Xian family to rebel, and now he is forcing the Chen family.
"This is all boiling frogs in warm water. If Feng Ann hadn't waved around and called on the Lingnan families to raise an army, we would still be in trouble. Maybe, we would have to appease them first and agree to some conditions at that time. But his hesitation gave us the opportunity to defeat them one by one. The Ning family is no longer afraid. Now that Feng Xian and the two families are about to finish, will the Chen family still dare to move around at this time?"
Besides, Li Chao is not afraid of Chen's family doing things indiscriminately.
Although the Chen family occupied Duan and Longzhou, they were close to Guangzhou. It was an important base camp in Lingnan. If they wanted troops, there were food and food, they would dare to rebel, and the court would have a very fierce attack.
Moreover, Li Chao now occupies the Qinzhou area. Even if the Chen family and the Feng family unite, they are already in a dilemma of being double-teamed by the imperial court, Guangzhou and Qinzhou.
With their little equipment and troops, they could not fight head-on with the court, unless they retreated into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with the court.
"I'll go back to Guangzhou tomorrow."
Wang Gui felt that he gained a lot from this trip to Qinzhou.
Although Qinzhou is still incomparable to Guangzhou's scale, its liveliness is no less than Guangzhou. Especially the slave trade here, it is jaw-dropping. The lively scene of Qinzhou City being built everywhere was only comparable to Hanjing before.
"The cooperation on the South China Sea iron ore has been ordered!" Li Chao said with a smile.
Wang Gui nodded.
Nanhai Iron Mine is a large-scale project integrating mining, iron smelting and iron processing in southwest of Guangzhou. The Li family is the leader and has attracted many big families to join.
The Wang family in Taiyuan is also invited.
Guangzhou Nanhai was Panyu County during the Sui Dynasty, changed to Nanhai County during the Tang Dynasty, and later in Foshan.
Li Chao intends to establish the largest iron plant in the south in Guangzhou, and set up the iron plant in the South China Sea of Guangzhou instead of Qinzhou. It is also considering that Guangdong has abundant iron ore resources and iron ore is mostly concentrated in the northern part of Guangdong. The iron plant is located in Guangzhou, which is close to the seaside and is the estuary of several major water systems in Guangdong.
Here, it is convenient for iron ore transportation and easy for product processing and export. At the same time, iron smelting requires huge amounts of coal. Li Chaoyou Hongji Coal Mine, which sets the iron ore in Guangzhou, is also conducive to transporting coal from the sea.
After comprehensive consideration, it was finally decided to set up a huge iron plant next to Guangzhou.
The Wang family in Taiyuan is not only a famous family, but also Wang Gui is the Guangdong Xuanfu envoy and the governor of Guangzhou. He is the top leader of Guangdong. Of course, he can get many conveniences by attracting the Wang family to invest.
The Nanhai Iron Plant project was huge, with investments of several million chunks of money. Wang Gui was also surprised by the plan. Li Chao wanted to recruit the Wang family to invest, and Wang Gui was also happy.
Such a big project can make sure to make a profit if you come in. Since ancient times, no one has ever lost money when doing salt and iron trading.
He didn't worry about this project either, and even the prince invested in it.
"Qinzhou is developing very strongly. I am afraid that it will overwhelm Guangzhou in a few years." Wang Gui was a little sour when he said this.
Li Chao said with a smile, "Guangzhou has its own huge advantages, and some places cannot be compared with Qinzhou. For example, while Guangzhou can develop trade, it can also develop textile and handicrafts. Lingnan has great development, with unlimited potential, which is a huge domestic demand market. At the same time, Guangzhou is also an important port for maritime trade, which will have an equally broad export market. By the time Nantie is established, various iron products of iron pots and iron pots can also become an important commodity and bring great benefits to Guangzhou."
"Thank you for your advice. Do Wenyuan have any suggestions for the development of Guangdong?" Wang Gui asked without shame.
"Developing industry and commerce is the first priority. Once the economy is revitalized, it will be simple. Secondly, we must step up the scruples of the Han people and slang people in Guangdong, paying equal attention to kindness and power, and never let them become a roadblock that hinders Guangdong's development. Whoever dares to block the road will smash anyone. At the same time, don't forget food security. There are many plains in Guangdong. Promoting the farming technology of the Central Plains, promoting new agricultural tools, and strengthening water conservancy will inevitably lead to a bumper harvest and increase production."
"Thank you Wenyuan!"
Wang Gui asked Li Chao, "When will you go to Jiaozhou?"
"The rainy season is about to pass, and I plan to just wait until the rainy season is over."
I said I would go to collect the fief at the beginning of the year, but it has been delayed until now.
The situation in Lingnan is not bad now, and Li Chao can leave. However, the Feng family has rebelled again, so Li Chao has to keep an eye on this side.
Anyway, Li Chao is not in a hurry now. His 5,000 troops are thrown into Lingnan, which is considered to be a step up training. Besides, he is doing business in Lingnan and doing his own private work, which is quite good.
The prince followed Li Chao every day, and was also a little happy.
Although he was given the title of Governor of Lingnan, he actually stayed in Qinzhou every day, and now he is following Li Chao every day, feeling very chic and refreshing.
"Teacher, my father wrote to me and asked me to return to Beijing." Cheng Qian said unhappily while eating.
The emperor hopes that the prince can return to Beijing as soon as possible, at least he has to rush back to celebrate the New Year.
"Or might as well wait for a while. I will almost go to Beijing and Chaoji in November. Then you can go back with me and the road will be safer."
Even if Li Chao did not have the title of ambassador for handling the situation, as a vassal prince of the Tang Dynasty, he had to go to Beijing to celebrate the throne every year like a local official.
"Can you go back in November? Can the teacher take off his body?"
"It's time to go, in another month, the chaos here will be almost settled. At that time, I will lead my troops south. The rainy season is over, and it is suitable to seize the fiefdom. It's almost the same month, and there are no people there. At that time, it's okay to station troops and build cities, divide land and set up villages, etc., and give them to the people below. With one month, it's more than enough to rush back to Beijing."
The prince didn't want to go back so early, and said with a smile, "Then I'll follow the teacher's arrangement."
