The issues concerning Nanzhong are not so simple.
The various conflicts in Nanzhong originated since the Qin and Han dynasties, primarily falling into two categories.
First, there was the Han-Yi conflict. With the Qin and Han dynasties' development of Nanzhong, an increasing number of Han people poured in.
The Yi people, squeezed out by these Han influxes, were forced from the more fertile plains to the harsh, cold mountains, where their lives became increasingly difficult, naturally leading to resentment towards the Han people…
Furthermore, many Yi people had already been pushed out of the Central Plains to these remote regions; further marginalization only exacerbated their pent-up resentment.
Second, there was conflict among powerful clans. These various clans, having migrated from elsewhere, were also vying for territory and resources.
In fact, the so-called rebellions during Zhuge Liang's southern campaigns were actually triggered by these clan struggles.
These two conflicts were not something Zhuge Liang could resolve in a short time, nor were they truly resolved even after thousands of years. Records of unrest in these regions can be found in almost every dynasty.
In ancient times, with limited habitable land and resources, this was an inherently unsolvable problem. Only advanced productivity could ultimately solve it.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang relocated some of the Yi people back to the plains, returning some of their original lands…
He then taught these Yi people farming and irrigation techniques, striving to improve their living standards. This is why the Yi people are still grateful to Zhuge Liang.
However, it's obvious that after Zhuge Liang, his attention was focused on the Northern Expeditions.
The Yi people in the southern regions would inevitably continue to be oppressed by the local Han Chinese powerful clans. Even those Yi people relocated back to the plains would inevitably be gradually pushed back into the mountains, making rebellion unavoidable.
Understanding these factors makes it clear how to solve the southern problem.
Productivity is key. Once people are fed, subsequent governance will be much smoother.
Environmental development can be done gradually…
And if all else fails, population control can be implemented. All of this requires someone to concentrate all resources for development…
And I am the most suitable person for that…
However, what needs to be done now is to eliminate the Yi kings of each prefecture and defeat the three great kings.
Then let the relatively powerful clans take over.
Once everything transitions smoothly, we can then target those powerful clans.
The key is to cultivate our own talent; relying on external forces could easily lead to an awkward situation where the master is weak and the servants are strong.
On a high mountain, guards stood watch below.
Lu Ming looked down from here, able to see the battlefield.
Unlike the battles in the Central Plains, the Yi people here prefer strange and unusual things…
And their equipment is rudimentary; they fight entirely with brute force.
He had initially expected the battle to be extremely fierce, but to his surprise, even without his intervention, his men were ruthlessly cutting down the rebel Yi King's army, overwhelming them with sheer force.
Sun Shangxiang appeared through the imperial harem. Her beautiful face, with its well-defined features and refined features, gave her a pleasingly capable air.
Having practiced martial arts for many years, she possessed a decisive and efficient temperament, combining the gentleness unique to women from the Jiangnan water towns with the boldness of women from the North.
At this time, Sun Shangxiang was still developing, yet she was dressed up, wearing light makeup and high-heeled sandals. Her white heels appeared somewhat plump, making her very tempting.
"Greetings, husband!"
"Xiang'er, I want to fuck you!"
Lu Ming licked his lips. He had summoned Sun Shangxiang specifically to have sex with her!
If Zhang Chunhua and Bu Lianshi hadn't been pregnant, he would have continued to have sex with them.
Now, those swollen bellies were the result of his countless days and nights of sowing seeds, meant to make them pregnant at a young age, leaving an unforgettable mark!
Sun Shangxiang trembled violently.
She knew how painful childbirth was; this day would come sooner or later.
So many girls in the harem, some younger than her, already heavily pregnant.
Some older than her mother, yet already bearing Lu Ming a child.
As a concubine, she couldn't escape bearing offspring!
Her trembling stemmed not only from the impending violation but also from a kind of excitement—the excitement of bearing children for her beloved man!
Even mature women had succumbed.
What could a young girl like her do?
"Yes, my lord."
Sun Shangxiang first knelt before Lu Ming, pulled down his trousers, opened her mouth, looked up at Lu Ming, and under his gaze, began to suck on his glans. Looking up was meant to give men a sense of conquest, thus increasing their excitement.
These techniques were taught by women in the brothels, and she wanted to learn them too.
At first, she was a little embarrassed, but after going a few times, she got used to it.
Now, if she saw Lu Ming having sex with a woman, she was no longer surprised. Whether in a room or in the wilderness, in her mind, Lu Ming having sex with a woman was perfectly natural.
"Hiss! Whew!"
Lu Ming comfortably squinted his eyes, enjoying the service of his prize.
After giving Sun Shangxiang oral sex for a while, he picked her up. Her petite body gave him a feeling of driving a small car.
His large hands grasped her plump buttocks and lowered her, letting his glans, carrying Sun Shangxiang's weight, slowly penetrate her. The process of his glans forcing its way into the girl's tender vagina and piercing her wet, tight opening was itself a pleasure.
His glans struggled to push open the moist vagina; the vaginal opening was very tight.
As his glans passed through the vaginal opening...
The sensation of being scraped from all sides almost made him ejaculate.
The vaginal opening was already small and tight; it had to be fully dilated to accommodate his penis...
The tender flesh inside the vagina was full of elasticity. With each scrape, the tender flesh tightly enveloped and stimulated the nerves in his glans, making it easy for him to ejaculate!
Fair skin, fair thighs, and a pink slit between them—a completely innocent and untouched vagina, clearly undeflowered.
Sun Shangxiang had already been deflowered, but she still retained the purity and pinkness of a young girl. Whether looking at her or having sex with her, it was an ultimate pleasure!
His penis went in and out; it was more like a dance with his hands around Sun Shangxiang, a human-shaped masturbation device!
