Lingyun was called Sicheng in ancient times.
Since the Song Dynasty established Sicheng Prefecture on Guangnan West Road, Yongzhou Youjiang Road in the fifth year of Huangyou, to the eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Lingyun County has a history of about 600 years of state, prefecture and county governance.
Lingyun was the land of Baiyue in ancient times. It belonged to Guilin County in the Qin Dynasty; Yulin County in the Han and Jin Dynasties; and it belonged to Yongguanjisi Shuangcheng Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty. In the fifth year of the reign of Emperor Huangyou of the Song Dynasty, Sicheng Prefecture was established, which belonged to Youjiang Road, Yongzhou, Guangnan West Road. It was still called Sicheng Prefecture in the Yuan Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, Chieftain Cen of Sicheng Prefecture penetrated into the Guizhou border and administered Luodian, Wangmo, Zhenfeng, Ceheng and Lizhou, Tangxing, Guile, Shanglindong, Anlong, Gukandong, Chengxian and Longchuan.
In the sixth year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Chieftain Cen moved the administration of Sicheng Prefecture to Gukandong, which is now Lingyun City. Sicheng Prefecture became the largest Zhili Prefecture in Guangxi.
The current local magistrate of Sicheng Prefecture, Cen Shaoxun, entered the post at an early age as early as the 30th year of Jiajing. At that time, his father Cen Shi was actually in his thirties. It is said that he asked the court to let his son take the post in advance because he was injured. Yes, when Cen Shi died, Cen Ling had just been born.
Gao Jingshi walked northwest from Tianzhou and followed the road of the Imperial Horse Station. After Tianzhou, pass all the way through Bomayi, Guilemayi and Xiangdianmayi, then turn northeast and arrive outside Lingyun City.
Now Lingyun City is already in sight, but as the ancients said: Looking at the mountains, you can run to death. This Lingyun City is actually among the mountains, with a very high terrain. Looking from afar, you can even see the city in the mountains shrouded in the mountains. Amidst the clouds and mist.
No wonder it's called Lingyun City, it's really not nonsense.
However, this kind of terrain allowed Gao Pragmatic to understand one thing: back then, Tianzhou Cenmeng's strength was the highest among all the chieftains in Guangxi, but he captured Sichengzhou and fought for several years, but he was stunned and failed to capture Lingyun City. Now it seems It's not that Cen Meng is incompetent, but that the terrain of Lingyun City is too easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but feel a little scared, and thought to himself: Fortunately, I didn't plan to attack this city, otherwise the transportation difficulties alone would bring down this poor Guangxi.
As a landowner, Cen Ling accompanied Gao Pingshi as he walked freely while helping him introduce the situation of the Cen family: "According to the source, my Cen family originated from the surname Ji of the Zhou Dynasty. King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang named his half-brother Yao's son Qu Yu Cen Ting, Viscount, was born in the north of Liang State and was known as Cenzi. His descendants took this surname and later moved to Nanyang, Henan Province. It has a history of more than 3,000 years.
There are no written records for more than a thousand years from Zhou to Qin. In the Han Dynasty, he came out of Cen Peng Gong, was ordered to conquer Shu, was granted the title of General of the Southern Conquest, was granted the title of Marquis of Wuyin, and was buried in Sichuan. Since the Han Dynasty, there have been historical records of our Cen clan taking Nanyang as its birthplace.
During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were three prime ministers: Cen Wenwen, Cen Changqian, Cen Xi and Cen Shen Shiweng. Cen Shen settled in Sichuan and spread into the second branch. During the Song Dynasty, Cen Jingquan moved from Nanyang to Zhejiang and formed the third branch. Cen Zhengshu moved from Zhejiang to Guangdong, and Mianyan became the fourth branch. "
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Your family's genealogy research is more detailed than mine. But, if that's the case, how did you end up in Guangxi later?"
Cen Ling smiled, with a look on his face, and explained: "In the fourth year of Emperor You's reign in the Song Dynasty, Cen Zhongshu, the second son of Cen Xiang and Cen Shiheng, followed Di Qing to conquer Nong Zhigao in Guangxi. He was granted a title by the court and settled in Guangxi, becoming Guangxi Cen. The ancestor of the clan.
The Mian family of the Cen family who stayed in Yongzhou became the fifth branch. After that, some moved to Hunan, Hunan and Fujian, mostly originating from Zhejiang. Most of those who moved to Yunnan and Guizhou originated from Guangxi.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the eighth grandson of Cen Zhongshu, Cen Timur, was in charge of Tianzhou Prefecture, Cen Acilan was in charge of Sien Prefecture, Cen Numuhan was in charge of Sicheng Prefecture, and Cen Acixin was in charge of Zhen'an Prefecture, thus forming the four prefecture branches in Guangxi. It can be said that the Cen family in various places in western Guangxi today are basically descendants of branches from these four prefectures. "
"Oh, it turns out that your Cen family was already divided into four by that time."
Gao Pragmatic's expression changed, and he thought to himself: No wonder the Cen family is not as united as the Huang family. I thought it was because of the family's big business, but now I see that there is something else going on. It turned out to be because the family was separated earlier...
This is not easy to handle. Although they both have the surname Cen, the so-called clan affection between them has probably faded away. I want to unite them. I guess there is no chance of relying on blood ties. It is better to stick to the old method. , using coercion plus inducement is straightforward.
Cen Ling talked about the genealogy and introduced the mountains and rivers of Sicheng Prefecture to Gao Jingshi. Gao Jingshi also listened very carefully.
After a while, Cen Ling finished speaking and suddenly smiled and said: "I am the number one scholar in the Sixth Ming Dynasty, the best literary scholar in the world. Today I am coming to Lingyun City. Cen Ling is brave. I wonder if I can leave some literary treasures for you. Rongsicheng?"
Gao Pragmatic was slightly startled and thought to himself: Why has leadership inscriptions become so popular these days?
However, Cen Ling was the person he planned to support, so he couldn't let go of this face, so he smiled slightly: "Since you, Cen Qi Gong, said so, I will send a couplet to Sicheng... But it's not good now. Pick up the pen, Mo Bao Yunyun, I'll give it to you when we get into the city."
Cen Ling was overjoyed and bowed his hands to Gao Pragmatic on his short horse, which is a special product of Yun Gui. "Thank you very much for standing on the stage. I will thank you in advance."
Gao pragmatic raised his head and looked around, pondered a little, and said:
“With four towering mountains and a flowing water, it is often called Sizhong’s beautiful shape;
Liangjiang Shangjun, Baiyue Guanzun, has long inherited the grace from heaven. "
Cen Ling was overjoyed and thanked him again and again. Then he suddenly thought in his heart: Does the phrase "I have been grateful to the emperor for a long time" mean that my family has been grateful for a long time, or does it mean that he hopes that my family will continue to be loyal to the court? "This "favor from heaven"?
Or maybe he meant something else by the "favor from heaven"?
As for "Hundred Guangdong Guzun, Liangjiang County", Cen Ling felt that Sicheng deserved it.
In the early years, the chief secretary of Guangxi reported to the court about the situation of chieftains in Guangxi, saying, "Among the chieftains, Tianzhou and Sicheng are the strongest, followed by Nandan. Tianzhou is adjacent to the river, with flat terrain, hundreds of miles of fertile fields, and many elite soldiers. Thousands of people responded immediately to the call; the local chiefs were rebellious and rebellious, and they were in trouble with the chieftains at times, so they did not have a glimpse of our interior. Sicheng was more than a thousand miles away, and the soldiers defeated Tianzhou. They were scattered in caves. The stone city was dangerous and dangerous, and Bajiao Pass was particularly steep and solid. "
Later, after the Cen Meng Rebellion, Tianzhou was divided by the imperial court, and its strength declined a lot. When Guangxi's chief envoy Si Shangshu visited the imperial court, he said: "Sicheng has the most extensive area and the strongest military force. It is the same as Qing, Tian, and The states of Zhen'an are strong and prosperous with each other."
It can be seen that today's Sicheng Prefecture can be said to have a vast territory, a large number of people, and a strong military. What is this if it is not "a county on two rivers and a hundred Cantonese nobles"?
The only trouble was that there was internal trouble, and Huang Ma secretly put his brother under house arrest, and defended Lingyun City, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As a result, although Sicheng was strong, it was only gold and jade on the outside and weak on the inside. Otherwise, How could Siming Mansion take the lead and achieve the greatest success among chieftains when they put down the rebellion in Bazhai last year?
In addition, this girl Huang Zhiting doesn't know what she is thinking now, she seems to have identified the high patrol officer... To say that this high patrol officer is very powerful, and his background is really strong, but no matter what, he is a patrol officer after all. Only do it for one year!
Huang Zhiting, this girl, makes decisions too easily. If the new Inspector Gao returns to Beijing next year, the political ideas of the new Inspector are completely different from those of the Inspector Gao, I would like to see what you do.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed that a group of soldiers and horses seemed to have come down from the mountain in front of me. It looked like there were at least several hundred people. Cen Ling's eyes narrowed and he took a closer look at the flags carried by the soldiers and horses. He turned to Gao Pingshi and said, "On the platform, Lingyun City sent people down to greet the grand leader. The lower official saw Luo Huhuang's family. Flag—oh, the Luohuhuang family is Huangma’s family.”
Gao pragmatic nodded and asked: "Is Huang Ma himself here?"
"We don't know yet." Cen Ling squinted his eyes and looked ahead, saying, "About 800 people are here. If Huang Ma is here too..."
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Even if he comes, I won't touch him now. Don't worry, just watch."
