    As Fan Touli's strength increased greatly, Fan Touli was also complacent and prepared to rebuild Linyi, so he ordered his army to continuously attack the Sui army.

    At this time, Huang Mingcong had not yet completed the integration and lacked strength, so he reduced his troops to the area of ??Duonong City (today's west of Hoi An City, Vietnam) and continued passive defense.

    In April of the third year of Daye, Fan Touli led a gathering of 30,000 troops to attack Duonong City in an attempt to completely destroy the Sui army's stronghold in Duonong.

    Not far to the north of Duonong is Tiannan Port, where Ma Yuan erected the bronze pillar.  Tiannan Port is the most important foreign trade port in Nichinan, so it cannot be lost.  Therefore, Huang Mingyuan had no way to retreat in Duonong City and had to fight the opponent decisively.

    At this time, Huang Mingcong only had more than 9,000 men and some new soldiers, so it was difficult to fight Lin Yi's army in a decisive battle.  In order to defeat the enemy, he sent his main force to Doron City and prepared to hold on.  Yang Hongli was also ordered to lead more than 2,000 people westward along the Guangnan River (today's Thu Bon River in Vietnam) and detour back to the flank of Lin Yi's army to stand by.

    Fan Touli arrived at Duonong City. Huang Mingcong had laid out Duonong City like a copper wall and an iron wall. It was difficult to capture it in a hurry.  Fan Touli then dug trenches outside Duonong City and prepared for a long siege of the city.

    Lin Yi's army besieged the city for three months and suffered heavy losses.

    Although Lin Yi¡¯s army is massive and has a large number of people, it looks very serious, but it actually has fatal flaws.  That is, these troops are not the army of Fan Touli alone, but the army formed by many forces supporting Fan Touli.  The origins of these people were complex and varied, and even the owners of many of the troops were enemies when they were in Linyi.  Because Fan Touli's momentum was strong, these people followed Fan Touli to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.  Most people wanted to take advantage of the situation when the main force of the Sui army returned. Regardless of whether they could restore the Linyi Kingdom, they could at least redefine their sphere of influence.

    But this battle was unexpected. Lin Yi's army, which was large in number, suffered a bloody blow at the foot of Duonong City and suffered heavy losses.  For most people, they are here to pick up bargains, not to fight bloody battles with the Sui army.  Seeing that the casualties were increasing, everyone no longer wanted to stay in Duonong City to waste their troops, so they all persuaded Fan Touli to retreat.

    Although Fan Touli is the new king, he is only twenty years old and does not have much strength.  Many matters in the DPRK were controlled by a few important ministers, and he himself had no control over them.

    At this time, everyone discussed and returned to Gulei Cave to make further calculations.  Although Fan Touli was not satisfied with the result, he could not defeat everyone.

    The exhausted coalition forces withdrew their troops south, and the Sui army was also ready for a counterattack.

    During the retreat of the coalition forces, Yang Hongli, who had been ordered to lurk, led more than 2,000 men to attack the coalition forces from the flank of the Linyi people. The coalition forces, which had long been overwhelmed, were immediately defeated.  More than 20,000 people fled in all directions and were completely defeated.  Huang Mingcong caught up from behind and covered up the enemy.

    Fan Touli returned to Gulei Cave in a panic, and all the guards around him died in the battle.  Fan Touli finally fled to a village with dozens of people, where he was killed by his mutinous subordinates and dedicated his head to the Sui army.

    Fan Touli died on the way to escape, and the Linyi rebels also lost their leader.  Huang Mingcong led his troops to pursue and defeat the Linyi rebels' most important strongholds, Anle City and Guleidong, completely destroying the Linyi rebels.

    At this time, Zhang Zhenzhou also led 5,000 Jiaozhi troops to arrive from the north and strongly supported Huang Mingcong.  Huang Mingcong had sufficient troops and gained great momentum.

    Huang Mingcong and Zhang Zhenzhou's troops attacked in two directions. Huang Mingcong led his army along the coastline, while Zhang Zhenzhou went deep into the interior.

    The two Sui armies swept through the rebel forces in various places and defeated another main force of the Linyi rebels in Xixipinai.

    In October of the third year of Daye, the Sui army finally completely wiped out all the rebels in Linyi after an arduous battle.

    After stabilizing the situation in Linyi, Huang Mingcong began to gradually take back power.

    There were originally three states in Jiaozhi during the Sui Dynasty, namely Jiaozhou (Jiaozhi County), Aizhou (Jiuzhen County), and Huanzhou (Rinan County). After Linyi was conquered, Dangzhou (Bijing County) and Nongzhou were added.  (Haiyin County), Chongzhou (Linyi County) three states.

    Among these six states, except for Jiaozhou, the other five states have very small actual control areas and small Han populations.  And because the location is too far south, the entire Lingnan land is vast and sparsely populated, making even immigration unfeasible.

    ¡°You can¡¯t immigrate here from Henan or Hebei. Not to mention the cost, even the natural environment and climate cannot be tolerated for a while.

    In order to facilitate management and reduce overlapping administrative systems, and to give Huang Mingcong the opportunity to completely control the entire Jiaozhi, during the merger of prefectures and counties in the third year of Daye, Huang Mingyuan suggested that "the land of Jiaozhi has few people and many officials, making it inconvenient to manage".  Jiuzhen and Rinan were merged into Jiuzhen County (Han Jiuzhen County), and Bijing and Haiyin wereThe three counties of Linyi were merged into Rinan County (Han Rinan County).

    Yang Guang actually didn¡¯t know much about Jiaozhi. As for the local situation, he basically learned about it from memorials.

    The establishment of the merged Jiuzhen and Rinan counties was the territory of the Han Dynasty, so it was not out of the ordinary, so Yang Guang quickly agreed to Huang Mingyuan's suggestion.

    Huang Mingyuan took the opportunity to introduce Huang Mingcong as the prefect of Rinan County and Shen Ying as the prefect of Jiuzhen County.  Coupled with Cui Renhan who served as the commander of Jiaozhi, the entire three counties of Jiaozhi basically fell into the hands of Huang Mingcong.

    The people of Linyi originated from the ancient Baiyue tribe, and they broke away from the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Eastern Han Dynasty.  The common people do not yearn for the culture of the Central Plains, and they have no sense of belonging to the Central Plains dynasty.

    Therefore, it is extremely difficult to occupy this place for a long time.

    After Huang Mingcong put down the rebellion, he first generously gave his generals and soldiers a home in Linyi. Through marriage and other methods, each of them married one or more wives in Linyi.

    The soldiers have become families and their hearts are at peace here.

    Huang Mingcong began to Chineseize the land of Linyi.  In addition to requiring everyone to speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, wear Hanfu, and use Han rituals, they also used Linyi people to govern Linyi people, and promoted a group of small and medium-sized Linyi nobles who were willing to follow the Sui army.  As for the big nobles, they were basically all killed.

    Huang Mingcong set up fifteen centralized management areas in Linyi, each of which was composed of soldiers and civilians.  In order to speed up the reclamation of wasteland, increase grain production, and turn Linyi into a grain-producing area, a large number of prisoners were sent to various centralized management areas for reclamation and planting.  Huang Mingcong used Lin Yi as his supervisor and implemented quota management, and used Sui people who were good at cultivating as technicians. He soon reclaimed a large amount of wasteland and harvested a large amount of grain.

    Because of the lack of manpower in the management area, Huang Mingcong encouraged the slave trade and absorbed a large number of people from various places into slavery.  A large number of people were trafficked and kidnapped to Linyi from Zhenla, Funan and other places.  Linyi's food production is also rising amid exploitation and cruel oppression.

    The whole Linyi began a kind of prosperity that was abnormal but in line with the interests of the Sui Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
