Chapter 136: Sending Zhang Xuanbiao did this because he was confident. Wang Hua made a deal with him. As long as he dared to do it, Wang Hua would support him with troops and also give him fifty artillery pieces. Wang Hua¡¯s artillery stopped, and the important craftsmen quietly sent it away. It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t do it. First, it costs too much money. The current technology is not perfect. Using this kind of steel to make gun barrels is not worth the gain. Secondly, they were made and given to the Tang Dynasty. Wang Hua did not want these cannons to appear too much and change history. Therefore, the number of artillery pieces is limited, and Zhang Xuanbiao naturally knows this. With so many artillery pieces, who will end up with them? Now that he has it, it is his. So as soon as he took office, there was an attack. And by doing so, I also showed the world that I am no worse than Guo Yuanzhen and dare to attack the Tibetans. "But this kid is very smart. He listened to Wang Hua's advice and focused on defending and harassing as a supplement. First guard each checkpoint, and then conduct small-scale sudden military operations from time to time, which makes the Tubo people uncomfortable and at the same time allows the Tuyuhun people to see the strength of the Tang Dynasty army. These Fanzi have no morality to speak of. The strong is king. The more capable you are, the more he will trust you. If you have no capability, it will be useless to him no matter how nice you are. This style is very similar to the later Japanese people. Zhang Xuanbiao launched an operation in the front, and Wang Hua sent his brother Shuhan to lead 5,000 people to march out of Jishi Mountain. A military camp was built at the southern end of Xinuoluo, with stone walls and very strong walls. Of course, he didn't have the confidence in his heart, but a wall was better than nothing. Ge Shuhan and his party brought a large amount of explosives, trebuchets, and artillery. As Wang Hua thought, because of the simplicity of the long bow, Tubo now also has a long bow, but this time Ge Shuhan brought all the artillery and suddenly silenced the Tubo people. Then the trebuchets approached and the explosives were fired. They only lasted for two hours. The soldiers in the barracks began to blow up the camp and fled one by one. This battle resulted in the death of more than 700 Tibetan soldiers and the capture of more than 600 prisoners. The prisoners were captured, and now there are not so many roads and water conservancy projects to be built in the twenty-three states. There is definitely something. The more we build, the better. Whether it is water conservancy or roads, it is a major event that will benefit hundreds of years. But Wang Hua didn't want to start construction. Construction costs money. So the prisoners were gathered in Yinshan or Jishi Mountain, and the city was built one by one. This will be very beneficial to the future border defense. In fact, until now, Wang Hua did not want to expand the territory. To the south, there was the Bailan Department, where the climate was cold and the altitude was higher. The people were not adaptable to this environment. To the north is the Yinshan Mountains, where the climate is also colder and there is no terrain to defend. Now that we have captured it, the gains outweigh the losses. It wasn't until more powerful firearms appeared that the nomads lost their immediate advantage, that was the time for them to truly surrender. Not only were they building the city, they were also given only two meals of porridge a day. There was also a person who said with a nice name, "It's not that I'm unkind. Did you see it? I've given you food and drink, and I haven't killed you yet, but you, Tubo, don't want you anymore. I only agreed to use 20,000 to be taken captive by you." The people of the Central Plains were exchanged. But what about the Turks? Their prisoners of war are only half as many as yours, but they use nearly 100,000 civilians. Are you really so worthless? I can't afford it now, so you can only drink millet porridge. "It's pitiful that after a month, these prisoners of war were so thin that they were only skin and bones. "After these prisoners of war were released, they would probably not be very loyal to Tibet after listening to Wang Hua's bewitchment. Wang Hua didn't take this war seriously. Now that Tubo saw that it had reconciled with the Tang Dynasty, it probably didn't dare to launch a large-scale war. Besides, Li Longji was also ambitious and would never be like Webster. The country sells itself for glory. Therefore, he immediately disbanded all 40,000 militiamen. This is also the biggest weakness of the Twenty-Three Prefectures. In such a large area, there are only about a million people. This is the 100,000 people Wang Hua brought back from Dafeichuan and other states, as well as from the Turks. Otherwise, the number of people It will also be reduced by more than 300,000. Although people¡¯s lives have improved in the past two years, tens of thousands of soldiers have been sacrificed, that is, one member of every three families has died or been seriously injured. Now is the time to cultivate your health and recuperate. ?Then there¡¯s the wedding. Before the wedding, Wang Hua found Li Chiying again and had a heart-to-heart talk with her. Unlike Li Guoer, her parents are no longer alive, but Li Chiying¡¯s father and brother are all still alive. Wang Hua did not expect that a few years later, Master Sun would take Liu Chan back to Soochow. The little girl gritted her teeth and thought for a long time. Wang Hua was not disappointed. It would be good for everyone to think more carefully. If Li Chiying agreed immediately like Zhang Fei did, Wang Hua would be a little worried. Finally he nodded. It¡¯s not easy either, Wang ??After getting to this day with Li Guoer, the wedding hadn't even been held yet, so they asked Wang Hua to see them off. She has also been suffering for many years. She has been suffering since Wang Hua's scientific examination. First she was kidnapped by her father, and the person who kidnapped her has not yet been found. This wedding was also very grand. Wang Hua once again sent a large number of heavy gifts just like the time when he hired Li Guo'er. He had many debtors and was not in a hurry, so he could not make Li Chiying feel aggrieved. But at this time, Song Jing said something inappropriately: "The imperial court has lost all face." Anyway, Li Chiying is the most noble princess now. Even when Wang Hua married Li Chiying, he held the wedding in Chang'an obediently, even if he didn't return after the wedding Lingzhou. But now it was actually done in Lingzhou, and not even the Prime Minister participated. The imperial court did not care about self-respect at all in order to survive. After Wang Hua heard the news, he wrote a letter to the Song Dynasty. The letter said that a gentleman still has the beauty and virtue of an adult. Besides, I have helped you to some extent. You asked me to return to Chang'an for the wedding. Think about it. Look, can the wedding be successfully held? Da Song didn¡¯t reply, probably because he couldn¡¯t stand Wang Hua¡¯s current arrogance. However, when the Song Dynasty and Yao Yuanzhi became prime ministers, they worked together to eliminate all the shortcomings of Li Xianshi. They promoted and appointed loyal and virtuous people, demoted and dismissed the treacherous and unscrupulous people, rewarded and punished fairly, and the bad habits of bribery and intercession disappeared immediately. The laws and regulations have been corrected. The government and the public agreed that the country had returned to the atmosphere of Zhenguan and Yonghui. Furthermore, the two of them, together with Bi Gou, submitted a letter suggesting: "All Xiefeng officials appointed by the previous dynasty should be dismissed." With this suggestion, thousands of officials were dismissed from their posts at once. This is a good one-time stress relief. Not only do these thousands of officials take bribes, but they also cost the country a lot of money every year in salary. Wang Hua was silent after hearing this. He also had talents under his command. Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wen were steady and conscientious, Zhu Dian was wise, and Mo Heqian was mellow. But when it came to managing government affairs, they were far different from each other. But he knew that the biggest hidden danger in the court had emerged. After receiving the news of Wang Hua's marriage, Li Dan couldn't bear it anymore and asked Princess Taiping to lift Li Chongmao off the dragon chair again. Li Dan sat on the dragon chair as he wished. Although the Xuanwu Gate Coup was initiated by Li Longji, Princess Taiping and Li Dan had supported each other over the years and made important contributions to Li Dan's preservation. When Li Longji launched a coup, she also participated in the planning. Later, she braved the disdain of the world and rebuked Li Chongmao many times, and removed Li Chongmao from the throne twice. Therefore, her contribution was no less than that of Li Longji. Because of her great achievements and her efforts to support her over the years, Li Dan trusted Princess Taiping very much. In addition, she was decisive, sensitive and rich in contingency strategies. Li Dan often discussed national affairs with her. Every time when he went to court to play something, he would sit with Li Dan and talk for a long time. Sometimes when she did not go to court, Li Dan would send the prime minister to her home to ask about matters that had been discussed for a long time. Another point is that Li Dan himself is also wise, but in order to protect himself in recent years, he has developed a very bad habit of doing Tai Chi. This Tai Chi exercise is just like Su Weiwei, ambiguous. It's OK to be a minister, but not an emperor. You have to wait for his reply. Therefore, when there is an undecided matter or something important, he has to ask: "Have you discussed this matter with Princess Taiping?" Or ask: "Have you discussed this matter with Sanlang (Li Longji)?" In three months, because of Li Dan's delegation of power, Li Dan disagreed with everything Princess Taiping wanted to do. The promotion to the civil and military officials of the DPRK was almost just a word from her mouth. Her power clearly exceeds that of Li Dan. At first, Princess Taiping worked diligently to help Li Dan stabilize the country, but due to Li Dan's indulgence, Princess Taiping began to indulge. Wang Hua's comment on this matter was: "Yang Gongshu Duan." However, something happened at this time. Zheng Min saw that the court had just been replaced and the political situation was unstable. He thought he could take advantage of the opportunity. He took a big gamble and sneaked back When they arrived in Junzhou, Li Dan had already issued an edict for Li Chongfu to be appointed governor of Jizhou. This appointment was made out of fear that Li Chongfu, who had been operating in Junzhou for many years, would be suddenly transferred from Hubei to Sichuan, cutting off his foundation. Just before Li Chongfu was about to take office, Zheng Min found Zhang Lingzengse and talked secretly for a while. Zhang Lingjun began to persuade Li Chongfu: "Your Highness, you are the eldest son of the late emperor and should inherit the throne. Although the prime minister has meritorious service, he should not inherit the throne. The people of Dongdu hope that you can come to Luoyang, mobilize the troops on the left and right, kill Dongdu by surprise, and then occupy Dongdu, and then attack Shaanzhou. , we can take the areas on both sides of the Yellow River to the east, and then the world will spread the message. "It can't be said to be unreasonable, but the soldiers he has in hand? If Wang Hua helped, there would be half a chance of success. However, Wang Hua saw that His Highness the Prince was even less desirable than Li Chongjun, so he had no idea of ??catching a cold at all. But Li Chongfu really believed it, so he sent Zhang Lingjun and Zheng to secretly conspire and gathered dozens of dead soldiers. At this time, Zheng Min had been demoted from secretary supervisor to governor of Yuanzhou again, but he sneaked back to Luoyang and stayed there, waiting for Li Chongfu's arrival. Even the book was drafted, and the reign title was changed to Zhongyuan Kefu, Li Dan was honored as Emperor Ji's Uncle, and Li Chongmao was named Emperor Taidi. He himself served as the Prime Minister of the Left, presiding over civil affairs inside and outside the court; appointed Zhang Lingjun as the Prime Minister of the Right. , General Tianzhu, presided over the affairs of the military attache; appointed Yan Shansi, the Changshi of Yousanqi, as the Minister of Rites, in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. The old boy suddenly promoted himself to the first prime minister. Li Chongfu and Zhang Ling both sneaked into Luoyang by post, and Zheng Min arranged for the prince-in-law Pei Xun's residence to secretly receive Li Chongfu. Officials in Luoyang heard about this and went to Pei's house to inquire. When they saw Li Chongfu, they didn't know how many people Li Chongfu had brought to sneak in. After the officials in Luoyang heard the news, many people ran away or hid in fear. But not all officials fled. One of Cui Il-yong's cousins, Cui Il-zhi, could not be considered a good official, but he was very brave. After hearing this, he immediately prepared to mobilize the army. On this side, Li Chongfu ran to the left and right palaces with his hands on his hands. He was very unlucky and met Li Yong again. He was riding a horse, conceiving the task assigned by Wang Hua. Wang Hua looked up to him and asked him to write calligraphy, poems and rhymes, a total of three tasks. This was a shameful thing. Seeing these people rushing over, there were hundreds of followers this time. He immediately rushed to the camp and told these soldiers: "King Qiao Li Chongfu was guilty of the late emperor's crime. Now he has entered the Eastern Capital without any reason. He must be preparing to cause chaos. You should take this opportunity to make meritorious service to the court and seek glory and wealth." "Nuo" replied in unison. road. This time Chang'an's Wanqi became very angry, which made the Yulin army in Luoyang very jealous. So as soon as Li Chongfu arrived at the camp, arrows rained down. Li Chongjun had no choice but to go to Zuoyemen and wanted to recruit the remaining troops in Dongdu, but these troops had already been greeted by Cui Rizhi. The city gate was closed and no one paid attention to him. He was so angry that he sent people to set fire to the city gate. Before the fire started, the soldiers stationed on the left and right had already forced over because of their eagerness to perform meritorious service. Li Chongfu had no choice but to escape from the upper east gate and hide in the valley. But he did not have Wang Hua's ability, nor did he have Li Chongjun's good luck. With Wang Hua's help, Cui Rizhi led the army into the mountains to search. Li Chongfu had no choice but to commit suicide by throwing himself into the canal. Another mastermind Zheng Min saw that something was not going well, so he combed his hair in a bun, put on women's clothes, hid in the car and prepared to escape. However, although he was good at writing, he was ugly and had a full beard. He could pretend to be other people better, but he couldn't look like a woman no matter how he pretended to be, so he was immediately arrested. During the interrogation, Zhang Lingjun was so frightened that his legs were shaking. Seeing him like this, Zhang Lingjun said regretfully: "No wonder the king of the northwest refused to cooperate with us. How can we be undefeated when trying to plot against a coward like you?" So both of them He was executed in Luoyang Nanshi. Zheng¡¯s life was considered to be one of ability. First, he was promoted to a handsome minister. After Lai Junchen was killed, Zhang Yizhi judged the situation again, and it was still glory and wealth. After Zhang Yizhi was executed, he immediately defected to Wu Sansi Wei. But the last big gamble finally failed, and Prime Minister Zuo did not take it seriously. Instead, he was executed by the clan together with his family. After Zhu Dian heard about this incident, he said to Wang Hua: "Mr. Wang, the country is really in troubled times." Wang Hua said sarcastically: "Nine-five Supreme Lord, who doesn't want to?" Zhu Dian sighed and said: "Maybe, Or what you said is right. "If the emperor does not have such great power, what will happen to him? However, Zhu Tong also felt at a loss as to how to govern the world without an emperor. At this time, Wu Lunxiang Guo found Wang Hua again. Now Tubo is very passive, and the blood camp only attacks once. However, Zhang Xuanbiao has attacked three times, with little gain, but it makes the Tubo people panic. They are not afraid of Zhang Xuanbiao. Without the support of the blood camp, Zhang Xuanbiao is just a tiger without teeth. So this time they had no choice but to endure the pain and make huge concessions. Wang Hua did not talk about it, but said another thing: "The barbarians in Yaozhou (Yunnan Yao'an) rebelled and killed the imperial official Li Zhigu, but was it instigated by you Tubo people?" Wu Lunxiang Guo said quickly: " Mr. Wang, we are negotiating sincerely. You can't seek revenge, so why bother? When did this happen last winter? It has nothing to do with this plan. "This happened in the twelfth lunar month of last year. , the reason was that the barbarians in Yaozhou were attached to Tubo. Li Zhigu requested an army to conquer, and the barbarian tribes were afraid of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty again. However, Li Zhigu once again requested to build a city in Yaozhou, but HuangXu Jian, the minister, thought this could not be done, so his suggestion was not adopted. However, for the sake of greed for power, Li Zhigu privately mobilized Jiannan soldiers to build the city, and deliberately seduced the barbarian leaders and then killed them. As soon as the leaders died, he thought that the matter was settled, so he levied excessive taxes on the people, and plundered their children as slaves. This made the barbarian tribes resentful, so he brought the Tibetan army over, killed Li Zhigu, and used his The body was sacrificed to heaven. So Yaozhou and Xizhou fell into the hands of Tubo again, and they were not cleared up after many years. Wang Hua thought about it for a while and concluded that Li Zhigu was the cause of this incident. The Tubo people probably only participated passively, because Yaozhou and Xunzhou are mainly mountainous terrains, which was useless to the Tang Dynasty and useless to the Tubo people. It is said that the same road is far away and the gain is of little significance. But if the situation had not changed, the Tibetans would definitely have taken advantage of this breakthrough to aggravate the situation in the south. Thinking of this, he said: "I will trust you Tubo people for once." Wu Lunxiang Guo was relieved. He was afraid that Wang Hua would ask Yao and Xun for two states, and the Tubo people were also managed by Ji Mi. So this time we finally negotiated in a friendly atmosphere. Wang Hua relaxed and Tubo promised to repay 50,000 people, but had to increase the number. The political situation now is different from that of a few months ago. But that is impossible for one hundred thousand people. As soon as Tubo gets another princess, it will also lose its face and the foundation will have to be shaken. However, Wang Hua reduced the quantity this time, but also put forward a condition. Fifty thousand people and Princess Jincheng were not sent to Lingzhou, but directly from Tubo to Tianzhu. Due to the trade of grain in this area, Lu Ergou and the others were very familiar with the local tribes and small vassal states, so they boarded the ship directly to Oceania. ¡°Otherwise, we will be in trouble after returning to Lingzhou, and the court may let Princess Jincheng return to Chang¡¯an. If Wang Hua still can't stop her, then a few years later, maybe the court will get stupid and give Princess Jincheng to the Tubo people again. ???????????????????????? But these common people Wang Hua were sent to another camp. They were nominally sent to Oceania, but in fact most of them were transferred to the north. When we arrived in Siberia, the people didn¡¯t like the cold very much because the weather was too cold. But the people of Tubo were different. They stayed on the plateau and adapted to the cold weather. Separate these common people and transfer them all. It is not that China did not want this area later. In ancient times, the living conditions were backward and the people thought they could not survive. No one was willing to go there, so this vast and resource-rich area became an unclaimed land. . But Wang Hua had prepared a lot for today, including sending people up to move the grain and find the coal mine. If you go now, you still have time. All you have to do is transfer a lot of food and build houses for them to survive this winter. But this behavior is not noticeable, and it is far north of the Waixing'an Mountains. This is to prevent the Mohe people in the north from noticing. In the north, there are not only Mohe people, but also Shiwei people, Tieli people, Sumo people, Yulou people, Heishui people, and Moyiji people. People from Junlibu live even where Heilongjiang enters the sea. On Sakhalin Island There lived the Kushuo tribe, one of the later Jurchen ancestors. It's probably because the weather is warmer now. Therefore, these tens of thousands of people did not start landing until they reached the north of the Evintsk Sea. Future development will also develop westward, not southward. Wang Hua sent two more soldiers from the Blood Camp to escort him. With this matter behind him, he had no other worries and finally started preparing to make the Kyushu Cauldron []
