    Chapter 438 Women and Trophies

    Zhang Xuan moved into the Tubo Palace. Although this towering Tubo-style building is also a tall and majestic building complex, its exquisiteness and cultural atmosphere are far inferior to those of the palaces of the Central Plains Dynasty.

    There are nearly a thousand people in the Tubo palace, including the Tubo king¡¯s concubines, maids and various servants, and they are all now under the strict supervision of Li Siye¡¯s soldiers.  [com]

    Almost all the Tubo kings, including the wives, concubines, and children of Trisong Detsen, were massacred by Stanley. Nowadays, those in the palace are basically the women and children of Stanley.  In other words, there are not many royal families left in the direct line of Tubo.

    Stanley has two sons and three daughters. The eldest son is 17 or 18 years old, and the youngest daughter is only 6 or 7 years old.

    Zhang Xuan sat high on the throne that originally belonged to the King of Tubo, staring at Stanley's children, wives and concubines who were kneeling on the ground.

    Li Siye couldn't decide how to deal with these people, so he waited for the emperor to punish them personally.

    According to general logic, Stanley¡¯s children must eradicate all evil to avoid future troubles, while Stanley¡¯s women choose young and beautiful ones as trophies to enrich the emperor Zhang Xuan¡¯s harem.

    And Guo Ziyi and Li Siye did arrange it according to this idea.  The young and beautiful ones were registered separately and knelt on one side; while the old and pearly ones who had given birth knelt on the other side.

    Zhang Xuan stood up slowly, looked down at Stanley's two sons and three daughters, and slowly raised his hand, hesitating slightly.

    It¡¯s very difficult to do this, but if you don¡¯t do this ruthlessly and continue to be kind to a woman, you will definitely be in serious trouble in the future.  Even if Zhang Xuan does not consider his own imperial power, he must also consider future generations and the long-term rule of the imperial court over Tubo.

    The Tibetan people's resistance will come one after another.

    As if they knew it would be difficult for them to survive, Stanley's two sons, although they were only teenagers, stared at Zhang Xuan fiercely and gritted their teeth.  And even the three little Tubo princesses glared at Zhang Xuan.  The toughness and barbarism of the Tubo people in this era are vividly reflected in Stanley's children.

    The fierce moonlight cast by Stanley's two sons made the last trace of intolerance and pity in Zhang Xuan's heart disappear in an instant.

    He smiled lightly, waved his hand suddenly and said, "Li Siye, take them down!"

    Li Siye graciously obeyed the order and ordered people to take Stanley's children down.  These children didn't even cry or make a fuss. As they were being dragged out, their eyes were filled with hatred like knives, wishing they could cut Zhang Xuan into pieces.

    Zhang Xuan was silent.

    At this moment, his heart felt hard.  He would rather be a killer once than leave trouble for future generations.  Incorporating the entire Tubo into the territory and returning it to the rule of the imperial court, such a huge change could not be possible without bloodshed.

    Zhang Xuan's gaze was cast over. Duolang, the last Prime Minister of Tubo, was standing there with his head bowed. When he saw Zhang Xuan looking at him, he couldn't help but fell to his knees in fear and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty!"

    "Your Majesty, these beautiful women are all presented to Your Majesty. Duolang has sealed all the gold and silver treasures in the palace and handed them all to Guo Linggong. Please accept them with your Majesty's approval."

    Dolan walked over on his knees and said with a humbly smile, "Dolan is willing to be your majesty's loyal servant and be loyal to your majesty forever. Long live my emperor!"

    Zhang Xuan glanced at the group of beautiful Tubo women.  He knew in his heart that among them were Stanley's concubines, and Duolang's beauties who had been carefully selected from the powerful families in Luoche City. Their status was extraordinary.

    Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment.  After Tubo was destroyed, the inclusion of women from the King of Tubo into the palace had nothing to do with the emperor's lewdness. It was a symbol of victory, because these were his spoils of war. The inclusion of some Tibetan noble girls also had a certain political and affinitive significance.  .

    Each of the four major families in Tubo sent their own women.  These Tubo nobles may not really surrender to the Chinese dynasty, but with a knife on their necks, it doesn't matter if they don't surrender or be loyal.

    Guo Ziyi is ready to send people to escort the huge wealth of the Tubo Palace and many women back to Luoyang, the capital. These are the emperor's trophies, representing the supreme emperor's authority and powerful national military power.

    Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind.

    ¡°What needs to be collected must be collected, there is no need to drag things out.

    "Dolan!"

    "The slave is here!" Dolan quickly knelt on the ground and said.

    "Let me tell the Tubo nobles that I have captured Tubo and destroyed the Tubo royal family. Then, this whole land of Tubo will belong to me. From now on, there will no longer be a Tubo country!" Zhang Xuan's voice was clear but majestic and inviolable.

    Dolan quickly said yes again and again.

      "I divided Tubo into two and established two roads. Qinghai Road in the northwest and Pingkang Road in the southeast. I changed Luoche City into Shenwu City. There are governors in the road, and under the road, states and counties are divided according to the Central Plains ritual system.  , establish governors and county magistrates, and within ten years, a unified military and political system will be temporarily implemented, with officials at all levels appointed by the imperial court to govern."

    "My edict: From now on, no nobles in the Tubo and Tubo provinces are allowed to set up private courts or maintain family soldiers, and the number of servants is regulated. The imperial court will establish the Pingkang Governor's Office in Shenwu City to command the imperial troops.  "

    "I will pass on my edict again: that is

    Starting from i, all the slaves in the houses of Tubo dignitaries who accepted the imperial education were expelled and turned into civilians, and were given land, cattle, sheep and pastures.  "

    As soon as Zhang Xuan said these words, Duo Lang's expression suddenly changed.

    It is understandable to establish Tao, prefecture, and county in Tubo and imitate the Central Plains for governance. Duolang has already known it.  Tubo has already been subjugated, what else can we expect?

    But Zhang Xuan's last "Edict to Liberate the Serfs" directly hit Dolan's weakness.  The Tubo nobles owned a large number of slaves, exceeding the imagination of ordinary people. If the Chinese emperor forcibly turned these people into civilians and induced them to obey the governance of the Chinese court, this would not only take away the privileges of the Tubo nobles, but also directly  The foundation of the Tubo race was shaken.

    For most of the slaves at the bottom, the Chinese emperor, who provided food to eat, land to plant, cattle and sheep to graze, and civilians to have status, was far more tolerable and worthy of following than the princes and gentlemen of their own race.

    Standing aside and listening silently, Tian Kexin, the military advisor and general of the Western Expedition Army, had a smile on his face behind his veil. He couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, thinking that the emperor's move was really wonderful.  The fire was drawn from the bottom of the cauldron, pushing the Tubo nobles into the abyss of destruction.

    "Duolang, what do you think?" Zhang Xuan said calmly.

    Dolan let out a long breath and said in a trembling voice, "I obey the order!"

    It is very difficult for Duolang to say these four words. He himself is also one of the largest slave owners. He has at least thousands of serfs in captivity in his mansion. With this edict from the Emperor of China, these lowly slaves in his name will  He divided his property, land, cattle and sheep.

    Zhang Xuan laughed loudly.

    "Please retreat. When I greet the Tubo nobles, as long as they do not cause trouble and support the imperial decree, I will not kill lightly. But if anyone dares to make trouble with me, then don't blame me for being merciless.  .¡±

    "Yes, yes, yes, I obey the order!" Dolan kowtowed repeatedly and walked away backwards.

    "Ziyi, write back to the court and order Chen Xilie and Zhang Xun to immediately arrange for immigrants to enter Tibet. The more the better. In addition, the good-hearted criminals in the prisons in various parts of the court will be released and escorted to Tibet. If they can rest assured in peace,  Kangdao had been working in the fields for three years, and I pardoned them all."

    "At the same time, let Chen Xilie immediately preside over the opening of Enke in Zhongjing and select talents to be sent to Qinghai Road and Pingkang Road as officials."

    "Yang Lian!"

    "I'm here!" Yang Lian hurriedly came out of the classroom.

    "Yang Lian, I canonize you as the Marquis of Pingkang, the Governor of Pingkang Road, the Governor of Pingkang, and the Commander-in-Chief of Pingkang Qinghai March. You will command 40,000 soldiers and horses to guard Shenwu City. Your mission is to guard this vast area for me.  Land, I give you the right to kill it first and then report it. I will order the three towns of Hexi, Jiannan and Longshuo to support you as much as possible." Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and said, "You have a heavy responsibility, I hope you will not let me down!"

    Yang Lian was overjoyed.  The emperor handed over all the military and political power of the newly occupied Tubo country to him. This is how much trust and respect he has.

    He knelt down on the ground with tears of gratitude and said with emotion, "Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I swear to repay you!"

    Zhang Xuan smiled, turned to look at Guli Peiluo, and said calmly, "The Uighurs helped me in the war and helped me destroy the Fans. Their contribution was not small. I have designated the 500-mile radius of the grassland as the Uighur territory. The Uighurs can set up their own territory here.  Prefectures and counties set up their own troops and horses, and are self-sufficient in what they produce. They are not subject to the control of Pingkang Dadu and Pingkang governors, and go directly to the imperial court."

    Bone Strength Pei Luo was overjoyed, cupping his fists and saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Su Hudong, who was standing on one side, was also happy and glanced at Zhang Xuan with tender eyes.

    In the desert north of Huihe, the land is barren.  For the Uighur people to be able to obtain a large piece of fertile pasture land in Nagqu, it is like giving timely help.

    Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.  He used a piece of land to attract the Huihe people to garrison in Pingkang Road, and assisted Yang Lian in guarding Tubo.  A large number of Huihe people entered Tubo, as well as a large number of Han immigrants, plus local Tubo people, foreigners from the Western Regions, etc., which basically constituted the prerequisite for great ethnic integration.

    Of course, national integration takes a long time.  For Zhang Xuan now, he is just doing his best to contribute to the long-term governance of this land.Jiu'an does some "pioneer" work.

    On the surface, the Uighur people have gained a big advantage. In fact, the Uighur tribe will be invisiblely divided as a result, and the possibility of being assimilated and civilized will be greatly increased.

    The army rested in Shenwu City.  Zhang Xuan stayed in the Tubo Palace and lived a leisurely life. For a while, he was not in a hurry to return to Qinghai and destroy Li Gong.

    He is not coveting comfort, but the army cannot evacuate at this moment.  Nan Jiyun is leading his army to conquer the remaining Tibetan soldiers. There are still many local Tubo forces that need to be cleaned up and require the presence of a large army to deter them.

    Duolang brought four extremely beautiful Tibetan girls into the Tubo palace, and he nodded and bowed to the Shence soldiers guarding the palace, and was extremely flattering.

    "Master, Duolang has been summoned to see you. These are the Tibetan women that Duolang has recruited for your majesty. Please let me go."

    The soldier glanced at Duolang, then looked at the four Tibetan girls full of exotic style, and chuckled, "Master Duolang, when you have time, will you find a Tibetan girl for our brothers to have fun with?"

    Dolan smiled lewdly, "That's that, Dolan clearly

    I will give a few girls to a few military lords!  "
