Chapter 863: King
Lassa.
Tonghai Governor's Mansion is called Yuanjiangba, and Lasha is literally translated as Luopandian.
When Heman moved south and crossed the Yuanjiang River (the upper reaches of the Red River) and came to Yuanjiang Bazi, it was still an uninhabited and inaccessible primitive forest.
Heman caught sight of Yuanjiang Dam, which is flat on both sides of the strait and rich in water and grass, so he stopped and began to develop this land.
And the barbarian language, the compass is the place where the great rivers of the Yimapingchuan flow.
After settling down, Heman multiplied rapidly in Yuanjiang Dam, and gradually expanded to the south. On both sides of Ailao Mountain, Yuanjiang reached to Yuanjiang in the east, Lancang River to the west, and both sides of Lixian River spread to Heman tribes. Arrived at the bank of the Nongren River.
However, the Heman village in Yuanjiang Bazi has always been the center of the Heman people. With Yuanjiang Village as the center, the Luopan and Ni tribe alliances were established with the barbarians. The tribes in Er, Xishuangbanna, Pu'er, Lancang and many other places all respect Yuanjiang Luopan Lord as their leader, and they each manage their own tribes.
They mainly focus on agricultural planting, are proficient in terraced fields, and also engage in hunting at the same time, and gradually formed a tribal kingdom with a control area of more than 30,000 square kilometers.
Nong Jinhu led the tribe and retreated all the way to Lhasa Dazhai along with Meng Guji.
In this big village with thousands of households and Nepalese, they finally found stability for the time being.
Adjacent to the Yuanjiang River in the east, and leaning against the Ailao Mountains in the west, a Bazi Plain between the mountains is uniquely endowed with natural dangers.
Modao River Valley, Manyang Ditch, where Nong Sanniang buried her son.
The urn containing the ashes of the eldest son was put into the coffin, and a wooden sculpture was used to replace the son's body. Nong Sanniang also put on the royal robe and crown of King Juding for his son, and put a gold and silver bronze sword with the one he had used during his lifetime. Put the horse-killing sword together in the coffin for burial.
Picking up the soil and spreading it on the coffin, Nong Jinhu's face was frosty.
Tears have already dried up.
The great ghost master Meng Guke put on a ghost mask and a ghost robe, and performed sacrifices in front of the grave.
"Hani-Maru-Naolong, Aniu-Male-Qiangabao..."
The Honi people will no longer run away, they will stay and prosper, they will stay and fight to the end, and they will defend their homeland to the death. The Puni people were blocked on the other side of the water by La Shabama, and they will never be able to invade us again!
Meng Guzhu did it for a long time.
"Sanniang, the Puni people will not come, the river will stop them, and I have buried white cow heads, white cow feet, white cow bones, etc. along the way, if the Puni people dare to follow, they will be cursed and die of the plague."
Juding also worships ghosts and gods.
But Nong Jinhu stood in front of his son's tomb, but he didn't believe it.
Since the Tang people were able to fight all the way from the Central Plains to Juding, the Yuan River would not be able to stop them. Perhaps it would not be long before the Tang army would cross the Yuan River and come after them.
Luopanzhu believes that Yuanjiang Bazi has natural dangers, and it is a strong and strong army in Heni Dazhai. However, Nong Jinhu, who once commanded the nine tribes of Juding and even successfully returned to Zuoxidongman, is not so optimistic.
Unless all the Honi tribes are united, which is hardly likely.
The great ghost master in Luopandian was willing to accept them, not because of the blood of the clan, but also because of the nearly 100,000 horses they brought.
With such a large population, any tribe would be tempted.
"Ghost Master Meng, Tang Jun will definitely come, it's just a matter of time."
"Yuanjiang can't stop them. You have also seen the navy of the Tang people. Their boats can sail freely on the Yuanjiang River, but we, the tribes who have lived on both sides of the river for generations, only have small boats. With these small boats, we can't stop them at all. Their warships..."
This is a heavy topic, Meng Guji didn't want to go deep into it, but he also admitted in his heart that it was a fact that the Tang people would come sooner or later.
"Qin Lang has now established a new Tonghai Governor's Mansion on the other side of the Yuanjiang River. It reaches the Yuanjiang River in the south and the Nanpanjiang River in the north. He pulled a tooth out of Cuanshi's mouth abruptly. Could it be that Cuanshi will allow it? I thought that Tang people We will definitely turn against Cuan, maybe when they fight, we will have a chance."
Meng Guchen was very concerned about the situation on the other side. The Cuan clan was indeed weak, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. Could it be that the Cuan clan's branches were so incompetent, watching the Tang people gradually encroaching and annexing their territory without moving?
The people of Tang wanted to set up the Nanning Governor’s Mansion in Wei County, the Kunzhou Governor’s Mansion in Kunming, and now the Tonghai Governor’s Mansion in Zhalu Lake. Can the Cuan family really allow it?
The people of Tang pressed forward step by step, and they would always touch the bottom line of the Cuan clan. In the end, some of the Cuan clan's children would definitely stand up and shout, and the whole Yunnan might be in a state of turmoil.
At that time, the Tang people would fall into the rebellion of the Cuan family, so how could they have the ability to cross the south of the Yangtze River?
Nong Jinhu just shook his head.
"No one of the current Cuan family is promising, especially that Cuan Hongda, who has been a slave in Chang'an for many years, and his knees have long since softened. When the Tang people were in their knees, their knees were soft, and these idiots dare not oppose the Tang people at all, even if there is someone who opposes them, they will not be successful, and they cannot be counted on."
Meng Guchu took off the ghost mask on his face, looked at this junior, "San Niang is afraid?"
Nong Sanniang turned her head and left her son's cemetery with bitterness on her face, "I was never afraid of the Tang people before, but after this fiasco, I realized how powerful the Tang people are. We are far from them."
"Are you afraid and shrink back?"
"No, I understand their strength, but it doesn't mean that I will give in. On the contrary, after the fiasco, it just strengthened my unyielding fighting spirit. It just made me understand a truth, we can no longer be as reckless as before , In that case, it will be impossible to deal with the Tang people."
"what's your plan?"
Nong Sanniang looked at the gray-haired Meng Guchu.
"If we want to defeat the people of Tang, we must unite first, but Lord Luo Dian's attitude at the moment is disappointing. He is an old, fatuous, but greedy person. Do you know what he said when he summoned me yesterday? This Seventy How old and immortal, he still wants to take me as a concubine, he really has a good plan, he wants to swallow my tribe's troops, and he also wants to take my people."
Meng Guchu didn't speak, he responded to her. His wife is the elder sister of Nong Sanniang's husband, and the two families are relatives by marriage for generations. Besides, the Meng family was also forced to leave Yuanjiang Bazi back then, and the various branches in the village have always been fighting openly and secretly.
"Don't pay attention to him, forgive him and don't dare to mess around."
Nong Sanniang sighed, "But don't we just want to live in the world? Don't we want revenge and blood hatred, don't we want to return to the old place, and even build a real career?"
"Brother-in-law, I have a proposal. I am willing to lead all the tribes in Juding to help you become the Compass King."
Meng Wuke was stunned for a moment by saying the king of the compass.
"Brother-in-law, please believe me. If we don't strike first, Luopanzhai will attack us sooner or later. Don't think that only the old man is stupid. Look at his children and grandchildren. They are all greedy, but conceited and incompetent."
"You come to be the master of the compass, or even establish the Luopan country, and become the king of the compass. Only in this way can we unite with the Ni tribes and rely on Yuanjiang to build a real line of defense, instead of waiting until the Tang people gain a firm foothold on the other side, and then take it easy. When crossing the south of the Yangtze River, who can we rely on at that time, can we rely on the old man and his incompetent descendants?"
"San Niang, we are guests after all, Luopan Village has taken us in, we are indebted to you!" Meng Guzhen said.
Nong Sanniang looked at this old man. At the critical moment, she led her troops to reinforce without hesitation. In the end, she was implicated and took the whole family away from home. The price she paid was too high. He trusts it completely.
"I will never forget this kindness, but we can't put our 100,000 people and even more Heni and other tribal brothers in danger because of this. The time left for us is running out."
"Believe me, let's pre-emptively strike. It is not difficult to take Luopanzhai. After killing the old and immortal family, the rest will not oppose you as the master of the capital. When the time comes, we will embrace you as king, and you will grant us the title." Make the heads of the various ministries vassals, let us unite, train soldiers and horses, prepare money and food, build ships, and establish river defenses."
Meng Guchu hesitated for a long time, and finally felt moved.
"My Meng Clan has few soldiers, if we really want to start a rebellion, Sanniang, you should be the leader."
Nong Sanniang refused without hesitation, "I would like to lead the Juding Department to help you become the king. Only you can be the king of the compass. You are from Hani, and I am from Juding, not from a tribe. How can I I can give orders and the Ni tribes. If one day we can successfully repel the Tang people, I have a request. I hope that brother-in-law, you can send troops to help me fight back to the other side of the river. I want to return to my homeland and rebuild. Juding country."
Nong Sanniang even directly suggested that the Yuanjiang River be used as the boundary, the west bank of the river would be the Luopan Kingdom, and the east bank would be the Juding Kingdom.
Meng Guzhen was moved by what Nong Sanniang said.
The ghost masters of the Meng family and the Man family, and the great ghost master of Luopandian, are of course far less attractive than a king of Luopan.
"If you really want to do it, you have to think long-term, plan carefully, and don't allow for the slightest mistake. Otherwise, the 100,000 people of your two clans will die without a place to die."
"Of course I know that."

Qilu Lake, connected to the sea.
Tonghai City is still in its infancy. Qin Lang planned a Tonghai City and a smaller Tonghai Fort next to it.
Although the fort is small, it is easy to defend and guard.
And the city is slightly larger, which is convenient for accommodating more residents and establishing markets, schools, warehouses, etc.
A castle and a castle are adjacent to each other across the river, and construction starts at the same time, and many prisoners of war work under the supervision of whips.
Horseshoes thundered, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
Cheng Chumo, who was proclaimed by Qin Lang to the court as the governor of Tonghai, but has not yet been formally appointed, came back covered in dust. Behind him were the heads of the knights on their spears, and behind him, the long A long line of captives.
Cheng Chumo turned over in front of Qin Lang and jumped off the horse, wiped the dust off his face, ignoring the chapped lips, "Running for hundreds of miles, the stockade that dared not respect Duke Wei's conscript and sent people to rob the army rations is broken, chief!" He and his warriors have all been beheaded and stuck on spears, and the rest have all been captured by us and returned."
Zhang Chao also got off his horse covered in dust, "Zhiniang thief, so arrogant, I thought he had three heads and six arms, but when we arrived, he dared to come out of the village to fight. Zhiniang thief was shot by me with one arrow, and he died. , What an idiot, if I knew it was this kind of thing, I wouldn't even bother to make this trip, it hurts my ass!"
Qin Lang looked at the group of prisoners who were frightened and tired, but he didn't show much sympathy, "The manpower of Xiucheng has increased a lot!"
