Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 77
Chapter 102
Li Chengqian had no choice but to speed up the pace of Qianzhou's development because of the news of Tubo's conspiracy.

And by the way, the General Weapons Division has expanded its recruitment to 1000 people, so as to prevent Qianzhou's resources from not being able to keep up with the speed.

Today's Qianzhou has ice cream, ice cubes, coal stoves, briquettes and perfume in terms of economy.

In terms of food...Under Li Chengqian's village-to-village cooperative system, Qianzhou has already reclaimed 220 million mu of land, which is enough for the original people to use.

As for the later refugees, because they needed to build houses, the matter of reclaiming wasteland was abolished, but Li Chengqian could guarantee that they would have a meal.

When harvesting sweet potatoes a few days ago, more than 6 catties were harvested. When all these 6 catties are planted, the people in Qianzhou will no longer suffer from famine!

More than 6 catties, even if only 1000 catties can be planted per mu, there will be more than [-] million catties in the end!

At that time, it will be easier for the common people to die than to starve to death.

As for the military... After having the Qi family's military training method, Mo Zheng mentioned that the three of them strictly formulated the military training methods. As long as they died if they didn't train, the rest was free.

What pleased Li Chengqian the most was that the Armament Division finally produced the first bullet.

But the fly in the ointment is that the bullet consumes too many resources and efforts to mass-produce it.

If energy is produced, then Li Chengqian can use the Desert Eagle to form a super army.

Looking at the good news coming from all sides, the smile on Li Chengqian's face never stopped.

Today's Qianzhou, although not reborn, is much better than before.

"Before you know it, it's July!"

Li Chengqian stood up, staring out the window in a daze.

"The imperial examination will be held in August. According to the historical process, Li Shimin will conquer Goguryeo in November, but now with my suggestion, he should postpone it!"

"Ah! From this point of view, this year is another year of calm!"

"... "

wrong!

After being stunned for a long while, Li Chengqian's brows suddenly knit together.

In mid-July, 18, something big seemed to happen.

It seems that the country of Jiaozhi was unwilling to be enslaved, so it decided to rebel. After killing the governor of Jiaozhou, it was renamed Jiaozhi and massacred Guangzhou next door!

The situation was so sudden this time that nearly 2000 people died in Guangzhou!

Jiaozhou was originally the territory of Nanyue Kingdom.

During the Western Han Dynasty, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy the Nanyue Kingdom, he established the Jiaozhi Governor's Department, which was divided into seven counties, and Yinglou was governed by the Department.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the eighth year of Jian'an, Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty, the Jiaozhi Provincial Department was transferred to Jiaozhou, which governed today's Guangdong, Guangxi, and northern and central Vietnam, and the state governed Panyu.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the state of Wu divided Jiaozhou into Guangzhou and Jiaozhou.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin divided the world into ten realms, and although Jiaozhou established the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion, it was under the jurisdiction of Lingnan Province.

Jieshou Pass is the defense line in the southwest of Datang, while Jiaozhou is the southernmost defense line of Datang.

However, even places like Qianzhou were ignored by the court, let alone submitted to the state.

It can be said that the situation in Jiaozhou is several times worse than that in Qianzhou.

Because there are at least two Zhechong Shangfu guarding Qianzhou, but in Jiaozhou, except for the governor of Jiaozhou who is appointed by the imperial court, the rest of the officials and army are basically established by the natives of Jiaozhou.

It can be said that the governor of Jiaozhou is just a display, with no real power and no military force. If the native officials in Jiaozhou want to kill the governor, it is just a look.

But in the past, perhaps due to the strength of the Central Plains Dynasty, they never did anything out of the ordinary.

But in July 18, they didn't know what was going on. They suddenly chopped up the governor of Jiaozhou, and then raised the banner and declared independence.

I don't know where this courage came from. In short, after independence, Jiaozhou changed its name back to Jiaozhi, and also wanted to take back the split Guangzhou!
Therefore, Jiaozhi dispatched hundreds of cavalry, raided several villages in Guangzhou, slaughtered nearly 2000 people, and left swaggeringly!

The massacre stunned countless people. Li Shimin immediately sent Sun Fujia, Minister of Dali Temple, as the deposed envoy of Lingnan Road to investigate Renhong, the governor of Guangzhou.

As a result, another shocking case was pulled out!
Li Chengqian doesn't care about Dang Renhong's fate, but Li Chengqian will take care of those people in Jiaozhi who went to Guangzhou to kill innocent people indiscriminately!

"Come on, go and call the consultation to join the army!" Li Chengqian shouted.

Yan Zhi is the advisor to join the army of King Qian's Mansion, and counseling to join the army is similar to an aide, but Li Chengqian usually consults Zhuge Liang, a dog-headed military adviser, to discuss matters, and rarely seeks Yan Zhi.

But now Zhuge Liang is busy with Qianzhou's government affairs and can't get away, so he has to be called Yan Zhi.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Yan Zhi was a little surprised. Usually, things in Qianzhou were managed by Zhuge Liang and Yang Chen, but he and Sima Fanwen of the palace belonged to the role of soy sauce.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian summoned him alone today, Yan Zhi was still a little nervous.

"It's all right, here is a letter, you immediately arrange for someone to send it to Guangzhou in the form of an eight hundred li urgent report, and it must be handed over to the governor of Guangzhou, and the speed must be fast!"

"Yes…"

Yan Zhi was full of doubts, but he had a low sense of presence and didn't bother to count the words, so after receiving the envelope, he went out directly.

Li Chengqian sighed, "I hope history won't repeat itself..."

...

Thirteen days later, it was mid-July.

Guangzhou is also called "Yangcheng" and "Suicheng".

According to legend, there were five immortals in ancient times, riding five-color sheep, each carrying a bunch of ears of grain to this place.

The Immortal then floated away, leaving the five sheep turned into stones.

Therefore, later generations also called Guangzhou "Yangcheng", "Wuyang City", "Xiancheng" and "Suicheng".

In the former Sui Dynasty, it was renamed "Fanzhou" to avoid Yang Guang's taboo. In the fourth year of Wude, it was renamed Guangzhou.

Guangzhou has always been an important port city for foreign trade.

During the chaotic period of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty was cut off.

As a result, this actually promoted Datang's Maritime Silk Road.

The merchants of Dashi Kingdom had close trade with Datang, but the Silk Road was blocked, so they had to go by sea.

Starting from the West China Sea, we sailed across the ocean to the South China Sea, and then to the port of Guangzhou.

Therefore, since the former Sui Dynasty, Guangzhou has become one of the most prosperous ports for foreign trade in the Tang Dynasty. Some people also affectionately call it "Yangguang" together with Yangzhou.

The governor of Guangzhou, named Dang Renhong, was originally a military general in the former Sui Dynasty. After Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, he led more than 2000 people to vote for the Tang Dynasty and made important contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he successively served as the governor of Nanning, Rong and other states, and now he is appointed as the governor of Guangzhou, which shows how much he is favored.

This person is very talented, and wherever he goes, he has political achievements and reputation, but he has a small shortcoming.

That is greed for money.

And it's not a petty greed, but a huge greed, so arranging him in Guangzhou, a city with developed trade, is definitely heaven for Dang Renhong!
The businessmen here may not be as rich as Yangzhou, but... they are so bullying!
Guangzhou's foreign trade is very developed, but it is a bit far away internally, because it is located at the southernmost point of the Tang Dynasty and is close to the sea, so it is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Chang'an.

Guangzhou is so far away, even if Dang Renhong is greedy for money, he can't reach Chang'an.

At this moment, in the Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou.

Dang Renhong is calling several confidant officials to drink and have fun.

"Recently the deposed prince Li Chengqian has been in the spotlight, and it has spread to Guangzhou!" an official said casually.

Dang Renhong curled his lips, very disdainful: "Hmph! You're just a brat!"
