Originally, the city was in chaos and its morale was low, and the Song army soon entered Yongzhou City. At dawn, the battle ended, Di Qing brought his personal soldiers into the city. In this battle, he received tens of thousands of taels of gold and countless jewelry. Not only were they captured from Kuri, but also some of them were robbed by Nong Zhigao from large households in various places, with thousands of miscellaneous animals. Some surrendered rebels chose the importance of the seriousness, and in addition to some of the evil people, they sent envoys to return home.

But a problem arose, Nong Zhigao was missing. Someone took out a dead body wearing the golden dragon emperor robe from the dead body. Everyone thought that this person was Nong Zhigao. Di Qing said: "How can you know that it is not a fraud? It is better to lose the gain, wisdom, and merit, than to falsely abuse the court for being greedy for merit."

So this became a historical mystery, because Zheng Lang, this mystery will continue to exist.

Di Qing reported the situation to Zheng Lang, especially the dead body, which caused great controversy. Zheng Lang came late and brought a hundred men to Yongzhou City.

Because of the rebellion, the once prosperous Yongzhou was full of broken walls. Zheng Lang went straight to the dead body and stared at it. There were many rumors in history that it was not dead. The Song Dynasty sent troops to conquer Temozhai, captured Anon and other relatives, but still did not get Nong Zhigao. Some people said that he fled to Dali again, and the Song Dynasty forced Dali to make friends. Dali Duan Silian had just ascended the throne after a series of open and secret struggles by the royal family. Yang Shengxian, an important official in the country, launched a civil strife. Seeing that the Song army was struggling in the south for several years, Duan Silian had no choice but to send a head. Duan Silian's compromise move made the Song Dynasty even more confusing.

Zheng Lang stayed in front of this dead body, but was thinking about two possibilities in his mind. One was to pretend to die. The Song army was not paying attention and survived in the future. Later, Annon and others were still opposing the Song Dynasty. Why did Nong Zhigao see the head but not the tail? He only said that he was in the leadership, but no one saw it. It was very likely that suicide was. These people were all heroes. For example, Xiang Yu committed suicide on the banks of Ufa. Even if he could escape safely from the heavy siege of the Song army, Jiaozhi was not tolerate it, the Song Dynasty was not tolerated, and the two countries were oppressed, would Dali be compatible? It would be better to take advantage of the most glorious time, wearing a golden dragon robe, living in a luxurious palace to burn all this. He still could still enjoy the wealth on earth when he was taking it to hell.

Thinking of this, Zheng Lang said: "So what if you die, so what if you live? Even if you are alive, who dares to take in it?"

It seemed that Zheng Lang was talking crazy about the victory, but Di Qing's eyes lit up.

You cannot listen directly, but listen indirectly. Nong Zhigao's life and death are uncertain. It may not be a bad thing. This time, it is not only Nong Zhigao's journey south. Many people who are not obeying the jurisdiction of the court must first lobby and then take action. But they cannot fight randomly, and they must be justified when they go out. What if they are charged with taking Nong Zhigao? The troops in their hands are strong enough, and they can use this charge to attack Dali and Jiaozhi.

Zheng Lang suddenly asked in a low voice: "General Di, do you know why the generals insisted that this corpse was Nong Zhigao's body?"

"Fight for merit."

"General Di, you are now the Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but what about these soldiers? When Taizong suppressed the Later Han Dynasty, the generals wanted to ask Emperor Taizong to reward his merits. Taizong was determined to manage the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and said that he would reward both of the two merits, so he did not reward his merits and led his army to the east. What's the result?"

"I understand," Di Qing suddenly realized, bowed slightly and immediately went back to revise the memorial. Everyone carried the flower sedan chair, and everyone's credit, no matter whether Nong Zhigao died or not, the court would give a generous reward, and the morale of the three armies would also be gained, rather than arguing about a dead body like now.

Zheng Lang then convened Yu Jing, Sun Mian, and the generals, and the surrounding magistrates. He first said one thing: "I will write my order, and the prefectures and counties in Guangdong and Guangxi urgently convened the leaders of the major villages and caves, and went to Guizhou for talks on February 15th."

Sun Mian frowned and said, "Xingzhi, I'm afraid that time will not be able to catch up. Some villages are mostly outside the mountains and rivers, such as Qiongzhou and some are far away from Guizhou, such as Chaomei and several states."

Zheng Lang said slowly, "Brother Yuangui, I also know that there is no need to notify Qiongzhou. That can be placed behind. Although Chaomei states are far away from Guizhou, most of them are mixed with Han and Manchus, and the backward situation is not so shocking. In this way, Huichaomeixun can come to Guizhou to meet on March 3rd Shangsi Festival. Other states must not exceed February 15th, otherwise spring farming production will be delayed."

There are many stories behind the scenes, and Sun Mian didn't know them.

After receiving the news of Di Qing's victory in Guizhou, Zheng Lang wrote a memorial to the court. Nong Zhigao was unfair and could not imagine any governance. After the pacification was over, governance would be put first. He first wrote about what he saw along the way. He had not gone to Guangnan East Road, but he saw the situation of some prefectures and counties on Guangnan West Road. The first bad thing was slavery. The masters of each cave were collectively called the main household, but unlike the main households in the Song Dynasty, he had absolute rule over the Tituo who was subordinate to them. He could allocate land and trample on Tituo's children at will. This Tituo was not as free as the Tang Dynasty's tribes. In order to increase wealth, he needed a lot of slaves and often captured the people to be slaves. The overweight often sold them to Jiaozhi as slaves to seek a larger price difference. Including Nong Zhigao, after returning to Yongzhou City, he not only brought back a large amount of captured wealth, but also a large number of slaves.

Zheng Lang did not say that slavery was not good, and it was impossible to make all these monks become civilized all at once. He could only do it step by step, so he asked the court to issue an edict to prohibit all tribes from abducting slaves, especially not to harm past businessmen.

If you grab it, he will snatch it. Business and tourism are not prosperous. How will the economy of a region develop?

This bad habit can also produce a bad phenomenon, such as the tribes' revenge or annexation. For example, it was because of the large-scale annexation that Nong Zhigao and his son finally embarked on an ambitious path. If such a tribe appears in the core area of ​​the Wuling Mountains, it may directly shake the entire wealthy Jiangnan area.

Then I wrote about the backwardness of farming.

Zheng Lang did not use other places as an analogy, but used Guizhou, the most developed Guangnan West Road as an analogy. It is the largest state in Guangxi. Many people are well-informed and know that the kind of mountain-burning slash-and-burning planting is not suitable. A few people also know how to use plows. But Zheng Lang looked carefully and found that this plow made him laugh and cry. It was small and thin, and could not be deeply plowed, nor could he turn over the plowed mud. Even this plow was quite rare in Guizhou, the most advanced in Guangxi. Most of them were pedaling plows, which were less than one day than a day of ox plowing. The situation was very similar to the plows in the Spring and Autumn Period. In other words, compared with the Central Plains, Guizhou was a total of 1,500 years behind!

Not to mention other states.

The third is the situation of miasma. Later generations cannot see the problem of miasma, so they have many doubts. Zheng Lang also has many reports from various places. Zheng Lang has become suspicious, and it is possible. After all, the land is wide and sparsely populated, and the arrow poisonous tree that is sealed with blood. Many barbarians also use it as poison to apply it on arrows. Many closed areas live in large quantities of poison, and even see eels with bowls that are thick in the mouth of the bowl, and are in special subtropical climate zones. These poisonous animals and plants grow, reproduce and metabolize each other. They will inevitably have some impact on the environment. There are also a large number of animals and dead bodies, which will produce ammonia. It will not be as terrifying as rumors, but when you encounter this bad air, you will also cause diseases.

However, Guangdong and Guangxi are a bit too many, almost half of the areas are in the miasma area. Zheng Lang doesn't believe this. Even if it is managed, it will not be so generous. How much does it cost? Pang Ji's heartache, he's heartache, and most of the money is accumulated bit by bit.

The reason is probably because people's lives are getting backward. I don't know what Lingnan looked like in the Tang Dynasty, but it was absolutely not improved in the Song Dynasty. So rumors spread, once some places have natural phenomena that cannot be understood, or other sudden factors occur, they mistakenly think that there is miasma here and mostly migrate. Even confusing malaria with miasma is that people get malaria due to the spread of mosquitoes, rather than miasma. Large areas become uninhabited miasma areas.

It's just the first month of the year,

The miasma in Dateng Gorge in Yangshuo will not occur. Zheng Lang went in and took a look. In fact, many areas are fertile areas and have abundant water resources, which are suitable for planting.

So be sure to identify one by one.

Finally, Zheng Lang also wrote about a situation. After crossing Wuling, he actually saw two groups of wild elephants running, which shows how backward the local situation is.

Therefore, Zheng Lang made a request to ask the court to transfer 1,000 households from the east and west routes of Jiangnan and Fujian Road. These people must be good at farming, or planting cotton and sugarcane. Women at home have good weaving skills, but the family situation must be below the fifth-class household.

When they were transferred to Guangdong and Guangxi, they did not have to teach them, but they were allowed to work themselves and let the local people in Guangdong and Guangxi watch. The time was two years. If they went back, all the income from their labor would belong to them, and the court would pay them back and forth costs and give them a bounty of 100 to 200 yuan. If they did not go back, those who lived and worked in Lingnan would be given more beautiful land. Safety would be guaranteed by the court. In addition, they asked the court for a thousand cows and other supplies such as Jiangdong plows.

Time is very tight. Zheng Lang doesn't need to explain it in detail. If he asked him to choose, he would rather be cautious Yu Jing stayed than Sun Mian stayed in Lingnan. Although this person is proficient in military affairs, he is too greedy. He continued: "By the way, introduce someone to you."

He pointed to a thin black man next to him and said, "He is Huang Shouling, the chief of Jiedong."

When Di Qing was in great victory, Huang Shouling was lucky and came to visit Zheng Lang. He also reported an information, which was what Nong Zhigao had told him about. He was preparing to seize Jinghu South Road and Jiangxi South Road. He retreated to let his mother Anon go to Temo Village and bribe the leader of Temo Village Nong Xiacheng. Before Di Qing's army arrived in Pennsylvania, Anon took Nong Zhigao's younger brother Nong Zhiguang and two sons Nong Jifeng. Nong Jiming went to Temo Village to prepare for war, intending to advance and cooperate with Nong Zhigao, and he could retreat to Dali.

The Temo Village is on the Temo Road, which comes from the Yi language. It is called La, and Mai is a cow. The road is to turn around. When you get here, pull the cow back. It is impossible to walk ahead. Located in the place where the Song Dynasty and Dali communicate, the mountains are larger, the forests are thicker, and the water is more dangerous. It can also be considered as under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, but like Qiyuanzhou and other resident states, it is difficult to say whether it is under the jurisdiction of Dali or the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was not interested, and Dali was not very interested in it.

Huang Shouling said about the situation.

Zheng Lang said: "In this way, let a general lead the soldiers of various prefectures and counties on Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan West Road back first. The spring farming production will be about to be done, and no longer delay the farming work. The soldiers belonging to Guangdong and Guangxi will stay. In addition, five thousand brigades will be sent back."

He glanced at Di Qing and sought Di Qing's opinions.

Going south mainly to prevent the environment and malaria. Whether there is any miasma, Zheng Lang dared not do the test. Even if death row prisoners are imprisoned in Yongzhou City, he dared not do the test. If it is reported, the rumors will make a fuss. Moreover, there are so many miasma areas, and there is no way to use living people to test them one by one. But the environment is definitely worse than in later generations, and there are more undestroyed things or poisons in the forest. Mosquitoes like to grow in these humid and dark places, and the viruses on their bodies will be more contagious.

Malaria is very likely. People in Lingnan are good at witches but not doctors. When they are sick, they use witchcraft instead of medical treatment, which has caused many rumors. The more people, the more harmful it is to malaria. Zheng Lang's first step in preventing and treating malaria is to prevent and control mosquitoes. Use some things to soak them tightly and hold their collars. When night comes, you must carry a mosquito net to isolate the bites of mosquitoes. The same is true for horses. The horses brought by Fanqi are not from the south, but are all northwest horses, and some isolation measures must be used. When the weather is hot, Fanzi cannot adapt to the weather here.

It depends on what Di Qing thought.

Di Qingsi gave it to him. Zheng Lang had a clear idea. The next step was to attack Temo Village. This was not only a village, but also many small villages. There were many people. Although they were not as powerful as Nong Zhigao’s peak, they had the right time, place, and people. The people he could use were the ones that were the ten thousand local soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi, or the ten thousand local soldiers brought by Zhao Xun. He had no knowledge of the power of the troops, but those who came back from overseas had worked hard. I think it would not be worse than some noble soldiers and southern soldiers in the capital. These local soldiers were recruited by the local area, and some of the head households even forced them to join the army to fight Nong Zhigao’s invasion. These soldiers had one advantage, with less burden, but their combat effectiveness was very poor.

His eyes turned around and looked at everyone. There were also some available generals here, such as Zhang Yu, Zhao Xun, Yang Guangwen, Zhong Yan, and Jia Kui. He said hesitantly: "Leave a thousand people."

"Okay, you can choose it yourself. If you have any other needs, just open your mouth. In addition, be sure to bring more anti-malarial medicinal materials such as Artemisia annua," said Zheng Lang. He did not mention how many days Di Qing will complete the task. Zheng Lang didn't like this and continued to give Di Qing the greatest space to freely play.

Huang Shouling felt aggrieved in his heart. Di Qing fought and shocked Yongzhou. Nong Xiacheng was sad when this murderous devil went to Temo Village. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise he would end up like Nong Xiacheng.

When he said that, he would fight, Di Qing led several generals and more than 20,000 troops to kill the West with his guys.

Zheng Lang has been sending Di Qing out of Yongzhou City. Di Qing will work very hard in the south, but in fact he will not be insulted by the literati when he goes back. He may not have to ask Di Qing. He has some taste of cutting chicken with a slaughter knife, but Zheng Lang is still a little sad and said, "Di Qing, remember this sentence, take care of it."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng," Di Qing would definitely not reject Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang still sent a few steps away and watched Di Qing board the warships. Most of these warships were built by Nong Zhigao and were prepared to attack Guangzhou in the second time. They were just used to carry the Song army upstream and go to Hengshanzhai and Wulangzhou. Get off the ship from Wulangzhou. Walking six or seven hundred miles is Temozhai.

After passing Lingnan, there is no distinction between spring and winter. The ice and snow in the north may not have melted, but the banks of the Yushui River are green and there are countless wild flowers and grass growing. The ship is getting farther and farther away. Zheng Lang is about to return when suddenly his eyes are staring at a few grasses on the roadside, then strode up and carefully identify them.
