Chapter 224: The Southwest is governed in the name of God

Then everyone looked into the sky together. The moon was shining with stars, and a huge bird flew over the heads of everyone. The shape of this bird had never been seen before, and it was very large. Although it was so tall from everyone, it looked as big as a house. It was so tall that everyone could think of how big it was. Nearly ten thousand people were shocked by this vision, and they were silent, and they heard the birds crying in the sky. The big bird finally flew over everyone's heads, very high, but because of its size, it could still see the shape. The big bird hovered over everyone's heads for several times, and then spewed out golden debris.

All these things fall down, and they are definitely not mirages or blindfolded eyes.

Everyone knelt down together, and Li Wei also knelt down.

Pei Xingjian pulled his arm, and Li Wei whispered: "Divine Bird, kneel down. This kneel may lead to a hundred years of peace in the southwest border."

"But……"

"You can't speak at this time."

“…”

A large amount of golden debris floated above everyone's heads, and then the big bird seemed to nod in the sky and flew back.

Xinuluo then came over and asked, "Prince, what kind of bird is this?"

Although these tribes in the south are divided into professional and mature officials, even the familiar officials are far less than those in the Central Plains. The trend of ghost trust is very popular, which is quite like Ye Gong's dragon. When the real dragon comes, its face looks like earthy. The Sei Nuluo was frightened.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Xi Nuluo, have you heard about the four divine beasts? The left green dragon, the right white tiger, the north Xuanwu, and the south?"

I know this and replied: "Surf Bird."

"That's right, this is the divine beast Vermilion Bird. It is this alliance of all races that touched God and the arrival of Vermilion Bird, and blessed us. Today's alliance needs to be remembered in your heart." Li Wei said loudly.

Even the divine horses of the divine beasts have come out. Besides, all races are peaceful, without war, and relatives will not die in battle. They are all happy things. Even if there are still a few people who are dissatisfied, their faces are full of surprise and doubt. In short, this is a good omen. All the people who came here drink and sing and dance. That night, countless people on the banks of Erhai Lake did not get up because of their happiness.

Li Wei retreated.

...

"Zhu Qing, Liu Shiwei, how do you feel?"

"It's so cold," Zhu Jingze kept hunching his neck. By mid-April, the weather in the south was very hot, and he went up wearing only a single dress. He was already released on the top of a mountain with a height of more than 700 meters. He suddenly rose to a height of more than 1,000 meters. He was so cold that he almost rolled up his body on it, and it was not easy to sprinkle gold and paper scraps. He was mainly tall. When he stayed on it, Da Zhu was afraid that he was afraid of altitude, and he had scared his face and had not recovered yet.

Liu Shiwei, who used musical instruments to learn how to play birds, was still in surprise and said, "Your Highness, no wonder you have to use such a long rope. It turns out that you can fly so high."

Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie were also surprised and looked at Li Wei together.

Li Wei spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me, I was helpless when dealing with Ming Chongyan back then. I studied the ability to pretend to be a god. This is also a method."

It seems like a troublesome to explain. Could it be to tell them that air is a substance, with weight and density? So where did you learn it from? Or you heard it from a certain country in a distance? It is better not to say it.

He also said: "We must not disrespect ghosts and gods, but we cannot let some people borrow the theory of ghosts and gods, pretend to be gods and trick our eyes, and we must not waste national and people's strength just because we pretend to be gods and ghosts."

"Here."

Of course, the principle is very simple. Use a large amount of cowhide to make a hot air balloon, and there are wooden sticks inside to support some racks to make the hot air balloon shape a bird when it expands. Cowhide is bulky and uses hot air, with limited load capacity, which is very backward, but the only benefit is safety.

But even so, more than a dozen people who know the truth were still surprised. After all, this is the first time that humans have climbed high altitudes.

...

Since the spread of things, some tribes from farther away came to join us. They were also interested in Li Wei, the southwest. However, with Tubo, the southwest would be uneasy. Without Tubo, the southwest ethnic groups would not be like the north, even if they went further south, the Piao Kingdom with the Shenma was not very powerful. Most of them settled, and they could manage and conquer them.

So Li Wei was not very interested. This was self-knowledge and it was also something that Pei Xingjian admired him.

Caocaodi also divided the territory for them. Until he left, he spread thousands of square kilometers of land. But he left a little late, pretending to be a ghost was helpless. It was very complicated. The southwest tribes rebelled and surrendered, not only the fish and meat of Tang Dynasty officials, the provocations of Tubo, the conflicts of each tribe, but also some tribes had ambitions to grow. For example, in the current Mengshezhao, he saw some ambitions in the eyes of the son of Xinuluo, although Li Wei rewarded Mengshezhao the most...

Helplessly, they got a divine bird out to make them afraid.

But there is another reason: being backward and the people are very poor. Seeing that because of civilization, the people going north live a good life, they became greedy and could not even have enough "king" to eat, and they could do anything when they were hungry. Therefore, Li Wei thought about it and asked his soldiers to familiarize themselves with farming, and even he came to the Great Alliance of the Wanli clans, and many people came to each tribe, so he taught them to do Jiangdong plows, advanced farming, and even taught them to make terraces, which were the new water wheels.

This is to maximize their appetite and then set up a Caoshi in their tribes. These so-called small tribes or small countries, sometimes a village is a small country, which is simply inexplicable. The materials are monotonous and lacking materials, and they cannot be self-sufficient. If they cannot be self-sufficient, they will not be able to settle down. Setting up a Caoshi is to exchange them with the outside world. If they use their own production, they can exchange the materials they want, and then they will work hard to produce and hunt without looting. Without looting, they can be self-sufficient.

Anyway, Li Wei put his heart into it.

But Li Wei was always hesitant about teaching civilization. If he taught them how to make bamboo paper, recognize Chinese characters, and even various books, there were two results. The first result was the Chineseization and the unification of the nation. The second result was to have a "awakening" by himself, and then like the later Xixia. It seemed that there was a history of the Tang Dynasty, which caused harm to the Tang Dynasty. He was always hesitant and endured.

This teaching took more than half a month.

The lakeside where Li Wei camped, so every day was very lively. These chiefs didn't know Li Wei's little care, but saw Li Wei teaching with great gratitude. After teaching, they helped them establish boundary monuments and determine the boundary boundaries of each tribe. Then they enfeoffed official positions, and more than 10,000 small tribes became banished states, and the chiefs of each tribe were governors. Of course, there was no need for the court to pay salaries, and nominal positions did not matter. Li Wei was the chief marshal of Yaozhou Road and had this right. However, dozens of major tribes who had made contributions and other rewards, and Li Wei could not take charge.

But this time the court acted a little quickly. Li Wei did not leave, and the imperial edict was issued, and Xi Nuluo and others were rewarded. The main reason was that they were happy, and they defeated Tubo... but Xue Rengui killed a little fiercely. More than 10,000 Tubo soldiers were almost killed, and only nearly two thousand Tubo prisoners were sent to Luoyang.

Xue Rengui, Liang Jishou and others have not been given a real gift yet. They also need to leave with Li Wei and wait...

Of course, Li Wei did not forget to promise Bier, and asked all tribes to cooperate to catch more than twenty peacocks, which he wanted to bring back to the capital.

Then Li Wei left Erhai. That day, countless chiefs and the people came to see each other off. The barbarians were barbaric and uncivilized, but they were honest and were all lying in tears, and some were beaten their chests and stamping their feet to express their gratitude.

Liang Jishou said: "General Xue, maybe Yaozhou may be a good place in the future."

Yaozhou was poor and was a barbarian, so officials were unwilling to come. Some of them came from demotion, while others were bad officials came from bad officials, and the officials were bad, and the people were tough, so bad things happened from time to time. But the prince was the only one who defeated the people, and it was not so difficult to govern. It seemed that it was not so difficult to govern. On the contrary, it was really easy to achieve political achievements.

Pei Xingjian shook his head and said, "Grandpa Liu is right. It's not because of Your Highness who came in person, the southwest is unfair."

He refers to pacification not to quell the rebellion, but to pacify, including governance. One is the prince's talent, and the other is the prince's prestige. If anyone else had no such good effect unless the emperor came in person.

Di Renjie didn't say anything, but his eyes were shining with glory.

The chiefs of these barbarians kept seeing each other and took the tent all the way to Yaozhou, before stopping reluctantly.

The road back was still in Rongzhou, and he did not dare to walk in Rongzhou, for fear that the Tubo people would be angry and sent troops to retaliate. After leaving Rongzhou, he could finally see the breath of civilization. Li Wei let out a long sigh. As soon as he set out, he welcomed the imperial envoy from the court. The decree was somewhat unexpected. He asked Xue Rengui to be the chief general of Yaozhou. Liang Jishou probably wrote a letter to pardon the death penalty and assisted Xue Rengui in the white clothes to govern Yaozhou. Liang Jishou had several generals under him, and had some positions. Perhaps the court had not heard the specific news from the southwest, and was afraid that the southwest would be temporarily pacified and could not settle down, so he used these two generals to continue to take charge.

Zhu Jingze said: "This must be done, otherwise the generals will not be afraid of failure in the future and will often underestimate the enemy, which will harm the country and the people."

Li Wei looked at the mountains to the west and said nothing, fearing defeat. The Tang Dynasty army was no longer the Tang army a few years ago, and Dafeichuan was the beginning. But he didn't say anything.

I didn't agree very much. Yaozhou was settled and even the iron bridge was destroyed. It was a waste for two generals to take charge. But I couldn't turn my mind around, so I said goodbye to Xue Rengui and others, continued north, and arrived in Yizhou.

The Yizhou officials came out from afar, accompanied them all the way toward Yizhou City. Suddenly, they stopped in front of a mountain, and Li Wei pointed at it and asked, "What's going on."

The governor of Yizhou said: "This is the will of the Lord."

"Issue," Li Wei murmured meaningfully, then walked over slowly.
