Compared with the understatement of the former governor Gao Xu, the disposal of Li Zan who subsequently fled Zeng Gun and his group was a bit complicated.

As the governor of Jiaozhou, Gao Xiu can be said to be a mediocre person, so he is easily emptied by the local tyrants and continues to be an open decoration; therefore, even if he lets go, the influence on the rebel army is harmless, and it will help to create a reputation of being kind and upholding.

But Li Zan, the former general manager of Guan Gui, was different. This was once a strong enemy and old opponent of the rebel army, and a long-time general with many years of experience in guarding the border. Earlier, he relied on his limited garrison and Tumen troops, as well as the natural and geographical advantage of many mountains in the mountains in the west. He blocked the main force of the rebel army, which had a large military advantage from Canton, between the mountains from Liuzhou to Pennsylvania, and it was rare to achieve success in several months.

If it weren't for the disadvantage of the severance of the food route and the supply of food was gradually unavailable and the time had passed, the official army that had been hungry and cold began to strife, and the garrison soldiers who were eager to return home had mutiny and expelled him as the military commander; I am afraid that most of the rebels who were wandering in the mountains would not have the chance to touch the city of Guizhou (now Guilin).

You should know that before this, Gui Guanwei under the jurisdiction of Gui (now Guilin, Lingui, Xing'an, Lipu, Yongfu, Longsheng), Zhao (now Pingle, Gongcheng), Meng (now Mengshan), Fu (now Zhaoping), Wu (now Wuzhou, Cangwu), Xun (now Guiping), Yulin (now Yulin), Pingqin (now Yulin), Bin (now Binyang), Cheng (now Shanglin), Xiu (now Guiping), Liu (now Liuzhou, Liujiang), Rong (now Rongshui, Rong'an) the thirteen states;

And there are six prison states: Ji Yu, Gui Si (all in Xincheng District), Si Shun, Fan, Shukun, and Wenquan (all in Yizhou District). There are only 1,000 local Long March garrison soldiers who have been organized all year round; the others are all guest troops who are dispatched and taken as they are dispatched, and there are also local soldiers recruited by the local government, and the regiment trains to maintain the situation;

Although the territory of Guiguan Manager seems quite large, it is mountainous and barren, with limited household registration and strong people. Over the years, there are also a bunch of local barbarians, including the Youjiang tribe of the Xiyuan Man, and they jump out from time to time to cause chaos.

It can be said that he has a good skill in governing the army and governing the country, and he has a good strategy to suppress and pacify the barbarians. If he really let go, he would be suspected of letting the tiger go back to the mountain. The previous Jiaozhou rebellion was that he responded to the center and cooperated with the foreign Zeng Gun to create it;

Although the capricious betrayal is always despicable, if you turn your back and kill people directly, it will hinder the reputation and reputation of the Rebels in Annan in the future. Perhaps no one will dare to surrender to the Rebels again, which can be said to be a relatively hot trouble;

However, this person also has a weakness, that is, his family members are numerous in the local area; this is also because he took people to sell Zeng Gun who had escaped without hesitation after the situation took a sharp turn. In fact, Zhou Huaian didn't care much about running away from Zeng Gun, who was a self-proclaimed protector;

Although this guy has some tricks and decisions and is not brave enough, he is an outsider who has been airborne. If there is no local force to respond, it can be said that it is basically difficult to move forward, and it is difficult to make any waves in recent years. However, with his fugitive external threat, he can further stimulate and maintain those local forces, and be more united and attached to the rebels represented by Zhou Huaian.

After thinking about it, Zhou Huaian had no choice but to order Li Zan to be detained in a strict guard. After a while of cold treatment to reduce its influence, he would make a decision.

After the basic interest structure of Jiaozhou and even Annan has basically stabilized, no matter whether he is old, physically weak, or "successful", it will be irrelevant to the overall situation; not many people will find it particularly abrupt, or cause more chain reactions.

But a few days later, Zhou Huaian stood on the head of Dongluomen's city and watched the whole family of the former governor Gao Xiu, who was released from the exile, and several large ships filled with family funds;

"Have you let this guy go like that?"

Chai Ping, the chief clerk and deputy secretary standing next to Zhou Huaian, spoke in a little depressed manner.

"I always feel a little unwilling to accept it... there are so many people's money and cream."

"Do you still remember what I said at the seminar about the dialectical method of looking at things from multiple perspectives and the contradiction between the main and the order of discussion... "

Zhou Huaian didn't care about his words.

"The current situation under Annan's rule is no longer the main contradiction and confrontation of the powerful Liang family and the powerful oppressing ordinary people, but making them desperate and desperate...

"It is the long-term survival struggle between the Han people who live and reproduce in the local area and the long-term survival of those Tumen and barbarians is the fundamental crux and contradiction. This is also the direction we have been striving for and working hard for."

"So if we continue to use it without changes and adjustments, the strategies and means we have implemented in Canton, or treat and distinguish them without distinction, or even indiscriminately..."

"I'm afraid that we won't be able to mobilize many people to follow us, but we will make people's hearts divided and disintegrate, and achieve a result that is half the result with twice the effort or even counterproductive..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Huaian continued to tempt the words slowly.

"Or another way, do you think we have fully controlled the strength and livability of Jiaozhou? The focus of the rebel army is always on the north side, not on the southern border in this corner."

"In this way, if we want to ensure a relatively stable rear and provide a stable production area for rice products for a long time, we must use corresponding compromise methods to rely on and retain some of the attached forces that can be won in some places."

"This can provide a continuous follow-up effort for the continued development and growth of the rebel army in Canton and the improvement of local people's livelihood at a lower cost and in the future. This is a longer-term overall situation."

"Well, or what you said makes sense..."

Chai Ping sighed heavily, exposing the matter.

"Then we will have enough momentum and strength to change all this in the future."

Zhou Huaian smiled but said nothing. In fact, most of the land in the thirteen Annan prefectures is occupied by these local Tu tribe chiefs under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The rest are descendants of the Tang immigrants, military households and garrison soldiers who live in mixed relationships. Therefore, if the local people do not rely on their personal dependence on the form of strong clan settlements, it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in the wild Tu tribes in the local area.

This is the natural result of the difficult and harsh environment in the early years; and the local powerful people's exploitation of ordinary people is not as deep and cruel as the mainland; on the one hand, the relative resource output is limited and the ground is poor, and the lack of material conditions leads to the gaps and boundaries between classes not so obvious;

On the other hand, it is because they have to rely on them to fight and restrict the local barbarians and mountain barbarians all year round; it can be said that traditional class contradictions have given way to the competition and confrontation of living space between ethnic groups.

Do you think Zhou Huaian should have a choice to continue to maintain the basic status quo, or learn from those who are indiscriminate and as long as I feel comfortable in the future, and others care about him to die, and to develop American love and tolerance for the "non-my race" Tu barbarians.

Therefore, if we promote the inland big-name and public trial of powerful people here without distinction, rebuild grassroots regimes and villages with limited elective autonomy, we may not only lose people's support if we lose people's support after a long period of confrontation and tug-of-war, but also give free barbarians, mountain barbarians, etc., and those who have been vacant for a long time, and those who have been vacant for the cage and replaced by birds.

And he has something that is not suitable for handing over here; as a knowledgeable modern person, why should he use a knife to cut a target if he wants to cut his flesh on a target? As long as the other party arrives in a prosperous city like Canton, there are naturally ways to slowly fabricate and harvest it.

It is just the truth that "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop", not to mention that Zhou Huaian, who is on the verge of wind and waves, was noticed by everyone; then he received a petition led by the head-on and powerful people in the city to initiate a letter-like petition like a letter.

They actually wanted to jointly elect themselves as the governor of the Jinghai Army, Quan Annan Protector. The specific reason was very simple. They saved the thirteen Annan Prefectures from the ravages of the Tumans. This was also one of the routines that the Annan Protectors or the Strategy Envoys who served in history would complete.

In fact, these Xiyuan Manchus, which have repeatedly emerged like moss, are the copies used by Annan Protectors to make achievements in the past dynasties; basically every person who wants to make a difference and establish authority will be defeated; but the geographical environment of mountains and high places is remote and easy to hide ensures that they are difficult to be eradicated by the Tang army after being severely defeated, so there are always people who have been suppressed from generation to generation to generation to harvest.

In other words, they only took advantage of the Annan Protectorate, Guiguan, Huguan and other areas, when civil strife and weak, they came out to rob the fire. However, as long as the Han area is slightly cheered up or there is a strong leader, there is a high probability that such an invader will be killed after paying a certain price. The Annan area is originally known for its wealth and familiarity. Even if the population lost from this can be restored, it can be slowly replenished through rest and Fujian areas on the sea, and the migrants from the east of the Lingdong will be replenished.

Can I take on this role and important status, and then leave it to history and even dominate? At least the environment in Annan is enough to allow me to safely survive the chaotic times of the late Tang Dynasty.

However, after this related longing only existed in Zhou Huaian's mind for a moment, this suggestion that was somewhat suspicious of being praised was firmly eliminated without hesitation;
