I Can Control My Ancestors-Chapter 336 - 25: Erecting the Stele in Lingnan, Migrating the People and Changing the Era
This letter of declaration completely represents the final declaration made by the Great Han.
This battle offers no retreat whatsoever.
The Great Han will not retreat;
neither do they have any path of retreat!
As this letter of declaration gradually spreads, the legend of the Gu Clan is continuously mentioned among various tribes.
Faced with such a situation, more and more tribes choose to surrender.
They simply have no choice.
The land on the path of the Han Army’s advance is the foundation for countless tribes.
And when internal conflicts erupted.
Relying on other tribes is equally a very dangerous choice.
Gu Yi is not just about threats!
——His past deeds in the Northern Border have already given him experience.
The more dispersed tribal systems like Shanyue are even easier to scatter than the Barbarians of the Northern Border back then.
Under such immense pressure.
Gu Yi hardly needs to do anything, just a slight expression of goodwill is enough to drive these tribes, already inclined to surrender, into madness!
Qianji Year 21, April;
The three divisions of the Han Army gathered in Panyu.
Gu Yi did not hesitate at all and immediately launched the final attack.
In the current situation——
The Han Army no longer feels any pressure.
Everything is really just like the Northern Border back in the day, with the tribes that have already surrendered to the Great Han vying to prove their loyalty.
Indeed, some do want to resist.
Among the Baiyue of Lingnan, the strongest tribes wanted to continue stalling.
Even though things have reached this point today.
They still cling to fantasies.
Hoping the Han Army would, as always, retreat after winning this battle.
This battle.... the Han Army barely expended any effort.
The Shanyue tribes hardly resisted, still hiding in the deep mountains as they used to.
They are compromising.
Hoping the Han Army will quickly achieve its goals and then retreat as before.
But this time, they are destined to be disappointed.
Gu Yi had long made his arrangements for the Shanyue.
...
Panyu.
In truth, Panyu essentially belongs to the Great Han, at least nominally it still belongs to the Great Han.
But the problem is that Lingnan and the Great Han have completely disconnected.
Especially after the previous chaos across the country, Panyu has long since completely separated from the rule of the Great Han.
Entering this city.
After years had passed, Gu Ye finally saw Gu Han again.
Gu Han had changed greatly.
He no longer resembled a gentleman of noble grace, though his conduct still showed Han etiquette.
Yet, whether it is his dark skin or his resolute eyes, they all indicated his transformation.
"Brother."
Gu Han was truly a bit excited, walking up to Gu Ye upon seeing him and deeply bowing: "Your younger brother greets you."
He is Gu Ye’s own brother.
Though they have not seen each other for many years, the bonds of family certainly remain.
"Mo Qing." Gu Ye was also very emotional, immediately stepping forward to lift Gu Han, looking carefully at his changes, his eyes full of concern.
Gu Yi did not interfere at all.
After so many years apart, the two brothers surely have a lot to say.
Why should he interfere?
Besides, he also wanted to hear about Gu Han’s experiences in these years.
Gu Ye has always been someone who holds himself to high standards, but on this night he rarely got drunk.
The two brothers spoke to each other about their experiences over the years.
Gu Han indeed has changed.
In the years with the Women’s Department, he reformed based on the Gu Clan’s family teachings, thus enhancing the Women’s productivity.
This includes suggestions in farming;
and overall development strategies, continuously increasing the influence of the Gu Clan through these means.
What surprised Gu Yi was — he already had a progeny.
And the child was born with the daughter of the leader of the Women’s Department.
According to Gu Han, this would be the future leader of the Women’s Department.
Even Gu Yi hadn’t noticed this.
Upon hearing this, he immediately opened the "family information" section and indeed saw a newly born child of the Gu Clan there.
Named Gu Sui.
The attributes weren’t exceptional, merely mediocre.
Gu Han wanted Gu Yi to take the child back to the Gu Clan for education.
Gu Yi naturally would not refuse this.
As time goes by, the influence of the Gu Clan is destined to grow bigger, and the entire family will not be confined within Kyushu.
Maintaining the bonds of family is a key point among them.
The journey ahead is still long, and at least for now, the children of the Gu Clan cannot be completely scattered.
The two brothers talked the whole night.
Experiences are often the best way for a person to progress.
Gu Han found it so, now truly understanding what Gu Ye meant by the Gu Clan’s path.
Seeing the white hairs gradually emerging on Gu Ye’s head, the brothers shed tears in moments of deep emotion.
Fortunately — Gu Ye will not leave Lingnan immediately.
The key task of this southern expedition comes next!
..... 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Qianji Year 21, July;
Gu Yi orchestrated a grand celestial ceremony with Gu Ye in Panyu, formally beginning his governance in Lingnan.
For those tribes that fled into the deep mountains.
Gu Yi didn’t hastily attack.
His first command was to officially relocate the tribes that had surrendered out of the mountains, choosing fixed settlements for them throughout Lingnan, forming a settlement system that spread outward from Panyu as the center.
All in accordance with the Great Han system——
