Chapter 357 Zhang Dun pacifies Wuxi Barbarians
The following year, the Song army built two villages in Mingxi, controlling the dangerous roads leading from Xizhou to Chenzhou and Lizhou. Peng Shixi then sent people to discuss peace with Lei Jianfu, returning the plundered soldiers and armor. Lei Jianfu also promised to return the copper pillars and population. In June, Peng Shixi led more than 700 people to Mingxi to join Lei Jianfu in blood. Lei Jianfu wrote "The Name Record of the New Village in Mingxi", which was engraved on the stone wall at the mouth of Mingxi. Because this title record was painted with red paint by later generations, it was called the "Red Character Card".
The war between the two sides, which lasted for more than ten years, came to an end. Since then, Song never used troops to Beijiang again. However, he still harassed the border areas and gathered people to defend Nixi under Shima Cliff on the border of Chenzhou, refused to call for advice and did not return the occupied areas. In the third year of Xining, he was killed by his third son Peng Shicai. Peng Shicai's brother Peng Shiyan attacked Peng Shicai and submitted a statement that Song Ting expressed his intention to surrender.
Zhao Xu then ordered Peng Shiyan to take charge of the prefectures. At that time, there were always divided into the North and South Rivers. There were twenty Tuzhous in Beijiang, and all of them were under the jurisdiction of the Peng family. There were three families in Nanjiang, the Shu family and the Tian family each had four prefectures, and the Xiang family was in charge of the five prefectures. They all accepted the orders of the Song Dynasty. Soon, due to the harshness of the Dong chiefs in Xiazhou, they had no control over the people, and the Barbarians wanted to return to the Central Plains.
According to the fact, the person in Hubei's criminal prison, Zhang Qiao, a commoner in Chenzhou, also wrote a letter to talk about the interests of the North and South Rivers, and suggested that the Song court use the barbarians to fight against each other and fight against each other, and could take advantage of the situation to suppress and pacify the county and county. Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi were about to use troops to intimidate the nations of all directions, so they sent Zhang Dun to the North Road of Jinghu to control barbarian affairs. Zhang Dun proposed to use Pan Su and Pan Zhenzhou, as well as Pan Mingzhou, the brothers stationed in Qingzhou, and Pan Nengzhou.
Pan Su's courtesy name is Bogong, and he is the grandson of Pan Mei's nephew Pan Weiji, and he is also the clan uncle of Pan Mingzhou's brothers. Pan Mei is Pan Renmei of the Yang family generals, and his third son is Pan Weizheng. Pan Tianying, the grandson of Pan Weizheng, once served as the Guanglu doctor and the Xijing workshop envoy. He was good at chanting poetry and was a poet friend with the poet Yu Shi. Because a poem was misinterpreted and framed, he was stripped of Sima in the army.
Pan Tianying's eldest son Pan Zhenzhou vowed to save his father and his family. His brothers Pan Nengzhou, Pan Mingzhou, Pan Yuanzhou and Pan Zunzhou also moved everywhere. Zhao Xu had just succeeded to the throne at that time. With Pan Mei's extraordinary achievements and the relationship between the Zhao and Pan family, he removed the position of General Pan Zhenzhou and General Wuluo from Linqu County, Qingzhou, Shandong Province to exile to Wuxi Xuzhou.
Zhang Dun told Wang Anshi about his intentions, and Zhao Xu listened to Wang Anshi's advice. Zhang Dun then led Pan Su and the army led by Pan Mingzhou's brothers to the south. The entourage also included Li Zi, Mingyi Zhong, Zhang Xu, and a liar master, known as "Monkey Flower". Monk Yuancheng was able to follow Zhang Dun this time because of Wang Anshi's son's recommendation. Because Wang Anshi's son Wang Yu gave birth to a son, the baby cried endlessly at night. One day, Wang Yun, who was playing on the street, heard from people that there was a traveling monk called Yuancheng. As long as he hugged the child and chanted the spell, the baby would not cry and sleep peacefully at night. Wang Yun invited Monk Yuancheng to his home, and later recommended the Monk Yuancheng to Zhang Dun with Wang Anshi's consent.
After Zhang Dun arrived in Hunan, he met Pan Zhenzhou. Pan Zhenzhou had been exiled to Xizhou for four years and had a very good understanding of the customs and distribution of the barbarians in the southwest and provided very reliable information for Zhang Dun and his clan's uncle Pan Su to supervise the troops to break the fort and attack the village, and became their most capable assistant.
According to the situation provided by Pan Zhenzhou, Zhang Dun first sent his subordinates Li Zi, Zhang Xun and others.
People went to recruit the barbarians of Nanjiang. Among the four major tribes of Nanjiang, Xiang had always had a good relationship with the court. When they learned that the court wanted to open up Nanjiang, they immediately expressed their willingness to take the lead in offering land and naturalization. Subsequently, in addition to the Shu clan, the local official of Xuzhou, Shu Dehu, did not express his opinion, other states also expressed their willingness to surrender.
The Su family of Meishan Dongdong also expressed their willingness to surrender. Meishan used to be inconsistent with the Central Plains. His area was connected to Tanzhou in the east, Shaozhou in the south, Chenzhou in the west, and Dingfeng in the north. Zhang Dun summoned them, and the total number of people who registered their people was 14,800 and more than 264,000 acres of land was set for them, and they paid once a year.
Zhang Dun built Wuyang and opened two cities, setting up Anhua County, namely Anhua County in Changsha Prefecture and Xinhua County in Baoqing Prefecture. Soon, Xiang Yongmi and Shu Guangyin from Nanjiang each gave up their land to surrender to Zhang Dun. Yang Guangfu from Chenghuizhou also led his clan surname to the 23 prefectures, so he set up Chengzhou again.
However, when Li Zi, Zhang Hong, and Monk Yuancheng arrived in Yizhou, which was owned by the Tian family, unexpectedly appeared. They went to persuade Tian Yuanmeng, the leader of the Tian family. Yuancheng also made up a story of "Liu Hai ascended to the Immortal", which was the later folk story "Liu Hai Plays with the Golden Toad". This "Flower Monk" liar and Li Zi, Zhang Hong suddenly felt lust when he saw that the Dong women were beautiful and teased and played with many good women, so the three of them were captured by Tian Yuanmeng.
In a rage, Tian Yuanmeng arrested them and tied them to the pillars, and cut them one by one. When it was the turn of monk Jingcheng, monk Jingcheng begged for mercy. Tian Yuanmeng believed in Buddhism and saw that it was a monk, he let him go. This shameful experience later became the capital for monk Jingcheng to show off.
When Tian Yuanmeng killed Li Zi and others, the matter became serious. After Zhang Dun learned about it, he was furious and said, "I will lead the king's order here. Yang, Shu, Xiang, and Su tribes all look at Fengbin. A small clown in the Tian family dares to kill the envoy of the court?" Although Zhang Dun was a civil servant, he was extremely martial. He has always been bold and meticulous, and his attitude is also famous. He once provoked the Song and Liao War because of his words. The court sent him to supervise the battle and defeated the Liao army. In order to shock the Liao Kingdom and kill 400 surrendered soldiers, the soldiers carried guns and brought the first troops back to the court.
Zhang Dun immediately deployed generals and soldiers, divided into three routes: one left and one route leads 1,500 troops to attack the left side of Yizhou; one right and one route leads 1,500 troops to attack the right side of Yizhou; one himself leads 1,000 troops to attack the right side of Yizhou; he led 1,000 troops to attack the middle and attack the city of Yizhou. The deployment was decided, and he passed the order: "This is the first battle. All generals must work hard to show their might and show their might for the country, eliminate the ugly people, and make the disobedient Dongman all fear surrender. Otherwise, even those who have surrendered will have a heart of rebellion. Success and failure are sharp and dull, and everyone will work hard in one fell swoop!" After that, he passed the order to fight Yizhou together.
Tian Yuanmeng received the reward and also divided into three lands to fight: he ordered his chiefs to lead the barbarians, and on both sides, he led the elites to resist Zhang Dun. The two armies faced each other, each showing their mighty power, killing them so hard that blood flowed into a canal, and corpses piled up like mountains. The shouts of fighting shocked the valley. Tian Yuanmeng killed for half a day, but could not retreat Zhang Dun, with a thunder roar, and three spears were used. The barbarian soldiers rushed Zhang Dun like a tide, and immediately wrapped Zhang Dun in the middle and surrounded and killed him from all sides.
Zhang Dun thought to himself: "No, the barbarians are going to fight to the death!" He hurriedly sent his subordinates to fight from all directions and cheered up his spirits. He went back and forth to command the battle. At the time of fierce fighting, the barbarians and left and right were defeated one after another. The two Song troops fought with spears and rushed over. It turned out that the left sent by Zhang Dun
The two right armies had defeated the barbarians and came to meet Zhang Dun's central army.
At this time, Tian Yuanmeng could no longer resist and could only escape with great defeat. Zhang Dun took advantage of the victory and seized the city of Yizhou, divided his troops to attack the barbarians, and Tian Yuanmeng also died in the chaos. The barbarians were shocked when they saw Tian Yuanmeng's defeat and died. Zhang Dun moved Fuzhou, the Xiang family of Hezhou and the Qiantu people in Longshan County to Xuzhou to deal with Shudeyun. They built a Tucheng in Longbiao area on the bank of Yuanshui. Because the Guizhou people were numerous and fierce, they moved to Fu. The Xiang family of Hezhou followed the name of the newly built Tucheng Qiancheng.
Shu Deyun, a local official in Xuzhou who was powerful, faced with the powerful Song army, was feeling uncomfortable and had no choice but to eat and sleep. He only blamed himself for being too harsh to Pan Zhenzhou for four years. Now, as long as Pan Zhenzhou reported truthfully to the inspectors, the heads would fall to the ground at any time. Fortunately, his daughter Shu Jiao had always had a crush on Pan Zhenzhou, and Pan Zhenzhou also had a love for Shu Jiao. However, Pan Zhenzhou already had a wife Jiang at this time, and Shu Jiao had to plead for the sake of saving the Shu family. Pan Zhenzhou let Shu Deyun go and married Shu Jiao as the second wife. Zhang Dun made a favor and saved the lives of more than 60 young and old people in the Shu family. After that, Pan Zhenzhou was appointed as the leader of the Xuzhou Prefecture, with the three powers of politics, army and wealth.
The barbarian chiefs of Wuxi surrendered if they do not die. The north and south rivers were under the control of the court, and the situation temporarily stabilized. Zhang Dun would pacify the achievements of Wuxi and the north and south rivers this time, and sent someone to report to Zhao Xu. He quickly received a reply: Pan Zhenzhou continued to remain as the highest chief executive of Xuzhou. Pan Nengzhou and Pan Mingzhou considered that the situation in Wuxi was complicated, but because of the big brother, they were alone and weak, they decided to stay. Zhang Dun went back to report. Later, Pan Mingzhou was the Salesman of Changsha Prefecture, and Pan Nengzhou was the Guardian of Litang, Guangxi.
In the seventh year of Xining, Zhao Xu ordered Zhang Dun to establish a department for the Arsenal Supervision, establish a special case, and examine the affairs of Zeng Bu. Lu Huiqing ordered the Zhongshu House to count the number of financial and financial income and expenditure of Xining. The statistics were different from what Zeng Bu said. Zhang Dun handled this case, Zeng Bu no longer requested a report. Zhang Dun was deeply appreciated by Zhao Xu and appointed him as the envoy of the Three Divisions.
In the ninth year of Xining, Zhang Dun recruited Peng Shiyan, who surrendered to Xiaxi. Before that, Peng's family lived in Wuxi for generations and was named the governor. After several generations, the court did not dare to interfere. Zhang Dun pacified Jiangnan, and Peng Shiyan surrendered, and all his twenty prefectures were included in the territory of the Song Dynasty, which was Chenzhou Prefecture. The court issued an edict to build Xiaxi City, and named Huixi, where they stationed troops, belonged to Chenzhou, so that they could pay rent like the Han people. Peng Shiyan was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Concierge and the chief supervisor of Jingdong Prefecture.
Besides, Luyi is in the southwest, and the land is close to Lushui. The Song court set up Luzhou, so it is called Luyi. In the early years of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, the Yi chieftain Wuman King Degai lived next to Lushui. His tribe was the most powerful. There was a Yaozhou city nearby, which had been abolished for a long time. Degai then submitted to the Song court and begged for the name to recruit the tribes and follow the Heavenly Dynasty.
Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen, naturally approved the report, so he built Yaozhou and appointed Yu Degai as the governor. After Degai's death, his descendants privately named "Ruo Ghost Lord". However, their power was getting weaker and they could not control the tribes. Wuman also had two chiefs, one was Yan Zi and the other was Geshu, who had always been in charge of the grandson of Degai. However, because Puye's orders were not implemented, the two chiefs gathered the people to rebel and arbitrarily hijacked the six surnames outside Yanzhou Mountain, as well as the twenty-four surnames of Naxi, and the two surnames of Yi, who were sent to him to enslave him. The six surnames of Yi were instructed by them to invade the borders of the Song Dynasty.
