Huang Yuanshou was able to be promoted to the position of commander-in-chief when there were so many generals at the beginning of the founding of the country, which already shows his extraordinary military skills, and the soldiers around him were also carefully selected brave people.
Under such conditions, it was naturally easy to attack a small village with few iron weapons. He quickly defeated all the surrounding villages one by one, and there were nearly a thousand Han people available under his command.
The land and houses owned by the indigenous people were later given to them, and the young men were selected and trained a little, and soon they had usable servants. Although they were not elite, they were useful here.
Although this move was successful, it also exposed one's own identity. Many surrounding forces had already heard about the exceptionally ferocious nature of this group of Han people, so they contacted each other and prepared to destroy them.
The Han people will always jump out to make trouble from time to time. They have not been able to cause trouble in these years, and there will be no exception now. When the time comes, they will catch some and kill them as a warning to others.
Coming with such an idea, the result can be imagined. Huang Yuanshou set up an ambush at the mouth of the river and killed almost all of them. Countless limbs and broken bodies flowed down the river. From then on, the Ban people were extremely afraid and turned the river into a river. Renamed Broken Hand River.
Huang Yuanshou worked hard and took advantage of the situation to sweep away the surrounding areas and promote the Han people. However, he no longer easily slaughtered the Han people, and even used the good ones.
Huang Yuanshou asked himself that although he had never shown his talents in troubled times, he was still an old pawn who followed the Holy Emperor in conquering the world. From expelling the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty to defeating Chen Youliang and flattening Zhang Shicheng, he was reduced to bullying the barbarians. He was really killing a pig with a sledgehammer. .
But there is also a problem, that is, the soldiers who followed from the Ming Dynasty still called themselves the general soldiers, while the local Song and Yuan survivors and Fan people called him La Ge, which means king.
This was undoubtedly taboo, but thinking about the prince's instructions before leaving, Huang Yuanshou did not rebuke them to change their words. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly. Since he wants to be accepted by the people, a suitable identity is very important.
[In view of the general environment,
With the expansion of his power, he soon made contact with the Shunta Kingdom. However, at this time, Huang Yuanshou no longer looked down on the so-called elites prepared for him by King Shunta, and Shunta was really far away from the Broken Hand River.
Huang Yuanshou set his sights on Bo Ni, the alternative country prepared by the prince. This country is also in crisis now, so it is expected that he will not refuse to agree.
……………
The old king of Bo Ni has a silk cloth wrapped around his head and a necklace around his body. He wears a golden crown on his head, which is more than a foot tall. It is shaped like a bien, decorated with seven treasures, and has a gold sword. He sits sideways on a high golden seat, supported by silver pedals. On their feet, the maids are all decorated with gold flowers and miscellaneous treasures, or they hold white whisks and peacock fans.
He shook his head and put down the letter in his hand and said to his eldest son in jerky Mandarin: "He is indeed a mighty general from heaven. I thought he would have to rely on my soldiers and horses in Bo Ni."
The prince of the Balni Kingdom is not young, and he is very luxurious in gold and silver. However, his Mandarin is also stumbling, and he has obviously just learned it: "Father, wouldn't that be better? We don't have many available soldiers." Well, Sulu sent troops to invade the territory again and plundered several villages."
"Stupid!" King Bo Ni scolded his son unceremoniously, but obviously he didn't understand, so he had no choice but to curse again in native dialect: "If we are useless to the Ming Dynasty, how will we be able to secure this position in the future? Really Do you think it’s enough to just rely on the promises in those few letters?”
The prince looked gloomy. No man in his thirties or forties would be willing to be scolded by his father in front of his slaves, but he could only endure it at this time.
Sunta is already too weak to withstand any coup, otherwise how could he take the initiative to lead the wolf into the house? If there is no change, the country will be carved up by Sulu, Indonesia.
The king sighed heavily. It wasn't that he didn't want to hand over power to his son, but that he was too incompetent. He had no courage to advance and was incompetent to retreat. He was a mediocre person.
But just as the prince did not dare to rebel, he also did not dare to change the heir rashly, otherwise other countries would take advantage of him. The father and son hated each other but had to work together to maintain the situation.
"Has the news spread?"
"It has been arranged. We all know that the Han escaped from our Bo Ni.
The general who went out is a traitor. "
The old king took off the heavy golden crown on his head and said: "Be more sincere. I am old and frail and cannot do anything on my own. You go to see him and ask him to return to Bali. Say that you will fight for him and kill him." He sent all his people into exile, and was willing to make him a general and give him the command of all the troops in the country."
"Will he agree?" The prince's expression was a bit tangled. With such a strong man in charge, he no longer had to worry about invasion from neighboring countries, but he was also worried about usurping power after handing over his troops.
"Definitely not." The old king replied sadly: "How can a general from heaven look down on our general from Bo Ni? So you have to go there again after you come back, taking your youngest sister with you. Ask him to become the Manaragana of Bo Ni.”
Manaragana means the same as the king, and can also be called the side by side king.
This is the only bargaining chip that Bo Ni can still get.

The climate is hot, just like the midsummer of the Ming Dynasty. The grains become riper every year, the vegetation is always flourishing, and snails and purple clams emerge from the sea. There is a stone called Clam Bello. It is soft when first picked, and becomes stronger when it is carved and dried.
The people of his country were dressed in silk cloth and decorated with gold ornaments, and lived in extravagance. When the king came out, he would ride an elephant on his carriage, and the carriage would be filled with mixed incense and covered with feathers. The bead curtain is guided by blowing conches and beating drums.
The laws of the country command that those who kill and steal will have their hands amputated; those who do it to women will have their feet chained for a period of years; the sacrifices must be made under the dim light of the moon, and the wine and food must be stored in trays and floated on the running water.
The country is divided into fourteen states. They worship Buddha statues strictly, and each has a population of ten thousand. The country is mainly engaged in farming. It is rich in dipterocarp. It boils the sea into salt and brews rice into wine. There is no wheat in the land, but there is sesame rice and some. Sheep, chickens and fish, without silk, were woven into cloth with gibe flowers.
The countries in the east and northwest of Hainan are poor and borderless, each with its own territory, with strange mountains and strange seas, and strange species and species. They have never been heard of in the past and ancient times, and the past ultimatums are not recorded. Therefore, we know that beyond the Jiuzhou, there are eight wilderness areas, and we can know the origin of the land. , don’t take it to the extreme.
The envoy who came with the army recorded everything he learned, and from time to time he was a little clumsy in the local dialect. He was originally a student of the Imperial College, but because he learned the dialect very quickly, he was called into the main hall by the prince, carrying a mission. Follow the army here.
In addition to customs and geography, he also recorded Huang Yuanshou's recent actions in detail, then carefully sorted them out and handed them over to the young man responsible for protecting him.
To be honest, he didn't know why these young men were appointed. After asking a few questions on the way, he found out that they were not from the Beijing Camp or the Palace Guards. However, they did not seem to be in the style of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, so they somehow got the job. Such an important position.
Mr. Huang was also very evasive towards them, rather keeping a distance from them. He obviously knew some inside information, but it had nothing to do with him, so it was better this way.
Unexpectedly, Nanyang is also so interesting. At first, he envied his classmates who could go to sea with Marquis Jiangyin. Now it seems that his job is not bad. Although he doesn't see as much and as wide as they did when they went to sea, he still has time to stay there for a long time. This goblin studied it carefully.
After sorting out his thoughts, he went out with great interest to look for the survivors or to inquire about the news. His Highness the Crown Prince had promised that as long as they did their jobs diligently, all the records they would write down in the future would be compiled into a great book, which would be able to be recorded. Your name and surname are engraved on it and passed down to future generations along with the book.
Huang Yuanshou, who was passing by, looked at the scholar squatting next to Fan Ren in the distance and writing something with a pen and paper from time to time. A close confidant next to him came over and said, "Yesterday, a brother told me that this guy asked many people and asked many questions. If you hear some of these words, I’m afraid it might be detrimental to you.”
The man licked his slightly dry thick lips and whispered: "If you don't arrange for someone to get rid of him at night, he will die of illness if he goes out. There are many brothers who have died of illness these days, let alone a weak scholar. It’s not surprising that he died of illness.”
