MTL - After Becoming a Taoist-Chapter 863 Li Fude's promotion

   Chapter 863 Li Fude's promotion

   Li Fude had just rushed back from Yangxi and saw that his wife and children were safe. Even if he was reluctant, those Luo Hong's ships, shipbuilders, and ready-made docks were still very important to the Li Tang court.

  Feng Ang didn't mean to **** it, he didn't even come forward.

   But Feng Ang had an officer named Xian Xuan who happened to meet a group of water bandits who had escaped from Yangxi, Luo Hong's former subordinate, during a patrol at sea.

   Seeing that Li Fude was only a small county magistrate with little energy, and there was a grandfather behind him, he suddenly got up and said that the sea boat was their profit.

   wanted to suppress Li Fude's military exploits and concealed them as his own exploits.

   Who is this Xian Xuan? The relationship with Feng Ang is the brother-in-law of the aristocratic family.

   Feng Rong's son, Feng Bao, married Mrs. Xian, the daughter of the Xian family in Gaoliang, Lingnan, and became the leader of the Yue people in the Gaoliang area. The Southern Liang appointed him as the prefect of Gaoliang.

   And Feng Bao and Mrs. Xian gave birth to a son Feng Pu, Feng Pu, the father of Feng Ang, was made the prefect of Shilong.

   In other words, the Xian family is the family of the leader of the Yue nationality, and the relatives of Feng An's grandmother's family.

   It’s just that Songyan married the daughter of the chief of the Zhaoshe tribe of the Yue ethnic group, and this tribe is not in harmony with the Xian ethnic group.

   Besides, before leaving, Li Fudode instructed Songyan to stabilize Yangxi County, do things according to his previous arrangement, and stationed some of the peasants and soldiers trained in Yangxi.

  Songyan is loyal and loyal, and although Xian Xuan surrounded Yangxi with thousands of people, he was not a mob like Luo Hong.

   It is a South Vietnamese rattan soldier who is proficient in water warfare, jungle warfare, and wears wizards in the army. He can heal wounds, can poison weapons, and can also lead souls and bring dead souls into their hometowns.

Because they are not afraid of being a ghost after death, these Nanyue rattan soldiers are often not afraid of death. When fighting, various strange means emerge in an endless stream. Although their strength or battle formation is not as good as that of the Central Plains soldiers and horses, when they arrive in Lingnan, they are First class troops.

   "You Kunlun slave, you really don't know what's wrong. I waited for the brave general under the seat of Duke Geng to defeat the rebels, so why don't you let us into the city!"

  Songyan didn't bother to pay attention to her. One was guarding the sea defense line and gathered the ships. Two, the peasants and soldiers were gathering the people and repairing the city wall.

   At the same time, the iron tower is like an iron tower, guarding the key points, and there is a tendency for a husband to be the gate, and there is a tendency for thousands of people to not open it.

  Xianxuan just had a fight with Song Yan as a "dou general".

  Xian Xuan's weapon is an oar, and his martial arts are also very powerful. In the army, he is known as a hundred enemies, and an oar dances like a black python born.

  I also have the martial arts of the ancient Yue nationality, imitating the boxing of the crocodile in the water, and can be said to be an outstanding child of a large family.

   But just loose smoke with a big stick, both sides are covered with iron, the moves are not very beautiful, just go back and forth.

   But the water didn't get in, and the breath was long, and the physical strength seemed to be endless, and the strength was still strong, and the next stick, the tiger's mouth would be numb.

   After playing for thirty or forty rounds, he had to get out of the stick to avoid death.

  Xianxuan was impatient, so he asked the few strangers accompanying him: "Can you guys do anything?"

   "There is a forbidden magic enchantment here, which is very powerful. Within three days, no spell can be cast, and the other party has a master."

Those aliens looked embarrassed: "General, as far as I know, Li Fude from Fuyang Xi County is a rare and good official, who can judge yang by day and yin at night, and has a divine general who protects the law, but he is a shadow. God."

"Besides, there is a Xuanzhen Dao who was born in the sky a few years ago. The headmaster of this Xuanzhen Dao is this nephew. The crocodile **** originally worshipped by the Yue people was beheaded by the three swords. We All the great wizards died because of this backlash."

   This is actually an acquaintance, one of the sorcerers who worshipped the Crocodile God when the Xiaoliang regime was broken.

  Xiao Liang was broken, the tree fell and scattered, and they each found a way out, and the Xian family and the Feng family were undoubtedly a good owner.

   But I didn't expect that the newly loyal owner would die again now.

   "It's just a Taoist, who confuses the people with ghosts and gods. I watched those Taoists cut down mountains and ruin temples recently, but they didn't show any great skills. Instead, several of them have different techniques. How can they increase their prestige?"

   Those aliens smiled wryly, this one really doesn’t understand, or is fake.

   At this moment, a black shadow appeared from the ground, like a pond, from which a team of soldiers and horses appeared, all covered in black, each with a black flag.

The word "Fengdu" was written on the    flag, and a bronze carriage appeared from the shadows along with the soldiers and horses of Fengdu.

   Then a handsome young man seven feet tall came out of the bronze carriage.

   "My nephew, the bronze chariot and horse that I gave to travel is really convenient."

   Li Fude said with emotion.

Next to    is a very elegant man with a mask, who has already won the "shadow puppet foundation", and may become the **** of hundreds of operas in the future, Ji Jingxu.

   He is the God of Taoism, sent by Li Dandao to protect Li Fudao.

   "Be careful sir."

   "Don't be afraid. Although I don't practice martial arts diligently, I have good breathing skills and a strong body." Li Fude didn't care.

   And Xian Xuan, who saw Li Fudode emerge from the shadows, felt incredible: "Is he a ghost?"

   "This is the magistrate of Maoming." The alien next to him said.

   Li Fude also saw the Fujijia Yue soldiers outside the city.

   asked Xiang Songyan: "What's going on now?"

  Songyan said: "Master, this guy wants to come in, and he also killed those who jumped into the sea and escaped, saying that the ships we seized belonged to them, but I didn't let them in."

   Li Fude figured out the situation and said, "Leave them."

   couldn't help laughing again: "Songyan, I have a son and a daughter!"

   "The mistress was born?" Song Yan was also very happy: "That's really nice, what does it look like? Does it look good?"

   "Looks more like your mistress." Li Fude said again.

  Na Xianxuan originally thought that Li Fude would be forced to talk to himself under the pressure of Feng Ang, but in the end, he ignored him.

   said immediately: "We withdraw."

   However, before they retreated for a while, a group of water bandit pirates, who did not know where they came from, landed at sea and snatched the ships.

   Suddenly, "Hey!"

  There is actually a crossbow on the city wall, shooting spear-like arrows, which is simply a weapon of war.

   "How could he have such a thing?"

  Xianxuan looked at it in the dark and found that there was such a weapon. He was in a cold sweat: "This kind of siege weapon is all the baggage of the three armies. Does the court really think that we are rebelling?"

As soon as the    car crossbow appeared, those pirates naturally knew that it was impossible to take these ships away without the use of human lives.

   still wanted to take his own boat to escape, but found that his boat could not go, one by one iron claws had pulled the side of the boat. Many people flew out from the bottom of the water and boarded the ship's side with iron claws and flying ropes.

  This branch is the South China Sea Tuomin, Luo Hong's slave, used to pick pearls from the sea, and after Li Fude broke the city, he took it as his subordinate.

   They are good at diving, and can dive for more than half an hour. Some even have gills behind their ears, webbed hands and feet, and their bodies are abnormally smooth, as if there is a layer of oil film.

   Those pirates are also very powerful, but these scorpions ignore them, and their scimitars are like butterflies spreading their wings, so they are beautiful.

   But soon the pirates had a hole in their waist.

   exposes the upper waist, press it again, the waist will pop out from the wound, and once again cut, the entire waist will be cut off.

   This is the way the people take pearls. The way to slide the mouth is to pry open the shell of the mussel, and press the meat to squeeze out the pearls.

   But now it is as pure as fire, and the waists of these people are also taken out, and the wounds are still very small.

   But where have those pirates seen this kind of battle, it hurts to the death.

  …

  Li Fude sits in the town of Yangxi, and writes down the story of quelling Luo Hong's rebellion.

   also stated the current situation in Lingnan: "Feng Ang has only the ambition of a prince, and he has no rebellious heart. He can send messengers to appease and hostage his son."

   After writing the book, he handed it over to Ji Jingxu, who had his own means to deliver the letter.

   then asked Xiang Songyan: "How are those people?"

  Songyan has never met a danmin who knows how to hold a waist, so he honestly said, "I have already fled."

   "Then write another letter to Duke Geng and tell him that some pirates took his name and plundered the people. In order not to hurt his reputation, we drove him away."

   Li Fude's headache now is the food and drink of these people. Yangxi County is not big, and it is already a large county that supplies 20,000 people.

   But Luo Hong gathered 100,000 people, and even with the addition of overseas islands, it would be difficult to feed these people. Grain and grass had to be transferred from Maoming County, where Li Fude had worked hard for two years, but it was difficult to maintain.

   So now, we just use cash for work instead of letting these people eat idle meals, and we want to run Yangxi County.

   However, quite a few people in Yangxi County were originally slaves. And the population composition is complex, overseas wild people, coastal Vietnamese people, Han people refugees, and Dan people.

  The skin color and language are not the same between them. Originally, Luo Hong ruled the land by religion, and divided them into three, six, and nine classes, and bound them with faith.

   But Li Fude, as a "benevolent man", immediately freed the slaves, collected the land, and distributed it again.

   Some people like this have self-esteem, but some people feel that they have been insulted, so they are constantly conflicted, and they dare not fight against the government, and do they dare not do anything to the untouchables who were originally slaves?

Therefore, Yangxi had only been occupied for a few days, and there were constant problems, which were basically fights. Therefore, Li Fude could only assign people from different races to different places and divide them into separate areas, so as not to live together and cause more trouble. thing.

   But there are still hidden dangers.

   There are also those boats, no matter how they are used, it is a waste to park there, and it has to be profitable. Otherwise, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all money, and food and grass alone will not be enough.

  Li Fude intends to open the port, but how to ensure the safety of maritime trade still needs to be improved. Feng Ang's fleet is the overlord of the sea, and it is still okay to play a pirate occasionally.

   That's why Li Fude wrote to the imperial court, saying that Feng Ang had no intention of rebelling, and then wrote to Feng Ang, saying that there were pirates who used his name to do evil.

   It’s been seven or eight days since these things were busy. Li Fude was really sincere, put people’s livelihood in his heart, and did things for the people. Although he missed his wife and children, he insisted on waiting for the reply from the court.

  The first is to promote Li Fude's official, as the governor of Gaozhou, at the same time, Gaozhou, Yangxi, Maoming, etc., turned into "Western Guangdong".

   At the same time, Li Shimin also dispatched Wei Shuxie, the regular servant of the Sanqi, and Li Gongyan, the waiter of the Sanqi, to go to Lingnan to condolence Feng Ang, and to give Feng Ang an award, saying that he had a good governance in Lingnan and was a pillar of the court.

   But Li Gongyan stayed behind and served as the acting prefect of Western Guangdong, and Wei Shuxie was the governor of Western Guangdong.

  Li Gongyan was originally Dou Jiande's long history of Cao Dan. Later, when Dou Jiande was defeated, he was persuaded by Wei Zheng to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

   After that, Wei Zheng joined Li Jiancheng, but Li Jiancheng was indecisive and did not listen to Wei Zheng's opinions very much.

   Therefore, after Li Shimin captured Wei Zheng, he even took all the resources in Wei Zheng's hands, including Li Gongyan.

   It is meaningful to call Li Gongyan to condolence to Feng Ang this time. After all, Li Gongyan dedicated the whole of Shandong to the Tang Dynasty.

  It doesn't make sense that you have already named Duke Geng, and you still plan to support your troops, take over the mountains as kings, and stop delegating power to the imperial court. I'll give you all the face, don't be shameless.

   Wei Shuxie is not well-known, but he is actually a member of the Jingzhao family, a member of the Wei family, and the second queen of Li Xian is their family.

   also belongs to Li Shimin's cronies.

   Li Gongyan and the others came to Lingnan by boat. They didn't go to see Feng Ang first, but they first came to see Li Fude.

   First, he praised Li Fud for being young and promising, and then it was the official promotion decree of the Ministry of Personnel. He was promoted three levels in a row.

   Then Li Gongyan took full control of the military forces controlled by Li Fude, took over the original Luo Hong's ships, etc., and planned to train a navy in the South China Sea.

  Wei Shuxie started to learn about the livelihood of Lingnan people from Li Fude and started planning.

   actually took away Li Fude's power, even though he was the prefect of Gaozhou.

   But you must know that Feng Ang's official position in the Sui Dynasty was the governor of Gaozhou, and the title was the Duke of Yue, who led the eight states of Gao, Luo, Chun, Bai, Ya, Dan, Lin, and Zhen.

   His son Feng Zhidai was the prefect of Chunzhou, and Feng Zhi might be the prefect of Donghezhou.

  , the land of Kyushu, is the territory of his Feng family.

   Although he is now Duke Geng, his territory is not small but large, and the Feng family is the emperor in the entire Lingnan Road.

   Li Fude, the governor of Gaozhou, is a tougher bone, and I don’t know whether Li Shimin wants to experience Li Fude or embarrass Li Fude.

   However, Li Fude was not unhappy, nor did he say that he wanted to leave Lingnan, but was rather happy.

   On the contrary, Li Gongyan was a little reluctant. To be an official in Lingnan, in his opinion, was to be demoted, and he was far away from the center of power in Chang'an.

   The two of them understood the general situation, but they still did not dare to go directly to Feng Ang to declare the decree. Although Li Fude said that Feng Ang would not rebel, what if they killed the two imperial officials to rebel?

   In the end, Feng Ang heard that Li Shimin had sent someone, and thinking about the letter Li Fude wrote to himself a few days ago, he sighed in his heart: Why can't this person be used by me.

   Then he sent someone to invite the three of them to a banquet.
