Power and Empire: Three thousand two hundred and six Jagged Xinjing (3)
Xupu Province, Southern Central Biya
From the perspective of the entire southern region of Central and Biyah, Xupu’s location should be regarded as the extension of the southern mountains. Because it is close to the southern mountains, the terrain gradually rises from the plain to the south, and occasionally there are small plains and basins, but It’s not really a densely populated area, but the Xupu area is a corridor zone in the south of Central-Bialand. A few decades ago, the Central-Balien Empire built two military towns in order to suppress the southern mountains. One is the Southwest Longjia and the other It is the Lujia in the southeast. The Xupu Wetland is the link between the two areas. Although the two military towns have fought against the southern mountain people for decades, the Xupu area is rarely affected by the war.
Many times, Xupu people just watched the army coming and going. Xupu people do not treat the mountain people harshly, because as the Bai family who ruled Xupu area for many years, even decades ago, The Bai family is the prominent part of the southern mountains, but because of its considerable prestige in Xupu, coupled with the Bai family’s firm support for the central government of the court, and the central government of the court also needs to cultivate a southern power to contain the powerful The Song people naturally have a lot of blue eyes on the Bai family. Not only did they hand over the entire Xupu to the Bai family, but they also gave considerable power. As part of the line of defense that also suppressed the southern mountains, the Bai family was definitely a clear stream. /
Heyangji was established by the Bai family. It is the largest trade fair set up to face the entire southern mountains. The neutral attitude for decades has made the Bai family's rule in Xupu increasingly stable
But in the past two months, Xupu can be described as a **** storm, mainly because of the refugees from China and Biya that came all the way from the north, and 60% of them have been imported into Xupu area. It is a good thing for Xupu, which has a small population and large land, but because there are too many inflows, and the deliberate promotion of the central government of the court, the number of refugees in the Xupu area, which is more than 300 miles, is only two. At three million, Xupu simply couldn’t accommodate so many refugees. In the end, the refugees turned their eyes to the mountains further south. Millions of people flocked in at once, and the entire southern mountain edge was overcrowded. The refugees were already chaotic. I don’t know how many mischievous people have been miserable. In the chaotic situation, they do everything they can. The act of reclaiming land to the south quickly turned into a **** plundering of the people of the southern mountains.
At this point, the Bai family is also unable to control it. He once submitted a few reports to the court, but in the end it was all settled.
Baijia Base Camp, Guyekou, this city located at the entrance of the largest basin in Xupu area, is only a medium-sized city. The population of Guyekou is only 50,000 people. It is completely comparable to the cities in the central area, but it is located in the southern mountains. In other words, it is definitely a magnificent city. The Guyekou City, built on Guye Mountain, is all built with large blocks of granite and stones. It is a city rather than a fortress. It is more secure and has a radius. There are three city walls along the road from the foot of the mountain. Only the outermost stone city wall is one meter high. The widest part at the top can walk four people side by side. The bottom is the passage gate. The winding mountain road separates each area. Open, each area has a stone fort, which is like turning the entire mountain into a city. As far as defense is concerned, it takes at least three to five times the price to capture Guyeguchi. And at this moment, In the Baijia Hall in the Guyeguchi Center, a middle-aged man in casual clothes is squinting at the famous Baijiatang in front of him
The sun shone on his sturdy body, seeming to be slightly distorted, and behind him, followed by two guards, standing tall and tall, still standing silently between the sky and the earth, in the hall, The guards of the Bai family glanced over the middle-aged man in casual clothes. They couldn’t help but straighten their bodies. Not because of anything else, but because he was at the time when Zhongbia was overthrown. The strength to bring light to the entire Zhongbia, because of his name, the lord of the Long Family, Long Po, because he is alone, represents an era!
" Even if Long Po-sama came in person, I still said that, my Bai family is not miserable and this time the Southern Alliance, I will not interfere with what you are going to do. This is the Bai family’s motto. I also ask Patriarch Long Po to forgive me. "An old man in casual clothes walked in tremblingly, and the guards at the door saw his figure, showing respectful expressions. They all bowed to him and saluted him. The old man is in his fifties, but his body It's still strong, and the legs and feet are also smart, and soon came to Longpodi's side
" It's a pity, I thought Patriarch Bai Lie could change his mind," Long Po nodded respectfully and said,
The old man in front of him is called Bai Lie, who is the current Patriarch of the Bai family. Because of its neutral status, the Bai family's relationship with the Long family is not bad. Even among the children of the Long family, there are many marriages with the Bai family, and The family motto of the Bai family is to maintain neutrality, and Long Po also knows it, so he did not express any anger. This time the three major forces of the Long family, the Lu family, and the Song clan have joined forces to form the Southern Alliance of China and Bahrain. In terms of controlling the entire south, it is enough. This time I come to the Bai family, more is to force the Bai family to express their views
"Long Po, please tell the other two families. Although my Bai family does not join, I still consider myself a member of the South, and I will never do anything to betray the South." The old man said calmly, "In order to express my Bai family’s Sincerely, my Bai family is willing to contribute 30,000 gold to support the Southern League"
"So, thank you very much." Long Po looked excited and arched his hands. Originally, he did not expect the Bai family to join in. After all, the neutrality of the Bai family over the past decades is obviously more inclined to the southern mountains. If you really join in , It will only benefit the Song people, as the Bai family said it’s the best. The Bai family’s head is indeed a smart person. The Bai family is sandwiched between the Southwest Long’s family and Luzhou’s Lu family. It’s great to be able to do this. The biggest advantage is that the Bai family of Xupu has acquiesced to the dominance of the Southern Alliance. With this, the Southwest Long family and the Luzhou Lu family can be connected through the Xupu area, completely connecting the southern part of China and Biya from Luzhou, Xu Pu Yixian and the Central Court are completely cut off
Longpo was the prime minister of the court. Naturally, he knows what it means for the court of Zhongbia once the south is separated from the central government. Because of the relationship between the war with the steppe people, almost all the central part of the court of Zhongbia was destroyed. It's broken, not to mention tax increases, it needs a large amount of capital investment to restore it. This is why the Zhongbian court prefers to stay away from Xinjing~IndoMTL.com~Because there is no money, ministers They were rich, but they all guarded their own pockets. They refused to take out a copper plate. The emperor also had money, but the emperor was obviously more willing to collect taxes than to pay for himself. The end result was that the war-damaged areas were basically There is no money to rebuild. For example, the southern Linhang area, which was once the most prosperous area, is still an unpopulated area for dozens of miles.
Watching Long Po turn around, the old man Bai Lie heaved a sigh of relief. Who would want to fight the three major forces in the South and join forces for a day? As expected, there is no enemy before the interests. The Long Family, the Lu Family, the Song Clan, originally It is a deadly enemy who beats life and death, and it is unprecedented at this moment; united together, there is the general gate of Luzhou, and all the 19 provinces in southern China and Biya are divided up. It should not be more than three months. Longjia No. 4 The character's Long Hua made a trip to Luzhou in person. One day after returning, the 40,000 dragon family army drove out of Guanglingchuan and drove directly to the border of Xupu in a murderous manner. He once promised not to advance northward for the rest of his life, the lord of the Southern Song clan. Song Que, also blatantly broke his current oath, and dispatched Song Lu, the number three character in the family, to miraculously build 60 big ships again, led by Song Lu, loaded with 20,000 elites, and went straight up the current for some time. The southern areas where large numbers of refugees went south and opened up. It is said that after Song Lu arrived, he unilaterally expelled the officials stationed by the court and declared that these areas were under the management of the Song nationality. The population increased by two to three million, which was almost an increase. In the entire southern mountainous region, all the restrictions on the south were completely opened up. The Bai family insisted on neutrality. Is it right or wrong?
"Patriarch, the empire is here" A child of the Bai family cautiously approached Bai Lie and whispered.
