A Tang Army officer looked at a corpse, sighed and asked the soldiers around him.  The soldier nodded, squatted down, and closed the eyes of the corpse. It was a girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of beautiful eyes.  "Those Persians have become more and more reckless recently. This is obviously our patrol area. This child has obviously run over, but they still don't let her go!" The officer squatted down and inserted his penis into the girl.  He pulled out the arrow from his back, held the arrow shaft tightly, and glared in the direction of the Persian military camp.  "General, what should we do? Do you want to warn those Persians?" the soldier asked hesitantly.  The officer gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and sighed: "The commander-in-chief has already made a request to the Duhufu. It is difficult for the Duhufu to handle and has been reported to the court. Please make a decision, Your Majesty. We still have to wait for the news. Before that, we will not  You can act rashly. Your Majesty has already ordered to stop the war and rest with the people. If we start a war, we will be responsible for the death." The soldier looked at the girl's body sadly, his eyes full of reluctance: "General, those Persians,  Why would you rather die than rush over?" The officer looked at the childish-looking soldier and asked, "How old are you?" The soldier replied, "Nineteen, you have only been in the army for one year." The officer nodded: "Zhenguan II.  You were born in 1999, right? That was already after the Tang Dynasty unified the world, and the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne. I am already thirty-nine years old. You have not experienced the Sui Dynasty when I was young. Have you ever experienced the feeling of not having anything to eat?  What kind of feeling is it? It¡¯s like being able to eat someone else¡¯s child" The soldier looked at the officer with disbelief.  The officer smiled bitterly and said, "If it hadn't been for the kind-hearted people who gave the family food, they would have been eaten. That's it. When they were hungry to that extent, they acted like this. It's not difficult to understand.  "If you don't have a full stomach and have nothing to eat, it's better to be killed directly than to slowly starve to death People can die in battle, die from illness, die from falls, whatever they want, but they can't die from starvation!"  on the ground.  Looking fiercely in the direction of Persia: "One day, this general will lead his army to defeat Persia and kill those inhumane people with a thousand knives!" The girl's body was brought back to the military camp. The officer looked at it and lined it up.  The corpses on the vast land made no one feel good. Those Persian refugees who came to look for their relatives after hearing the news knelt down and cried when they saw the corpses. According to official estimates of the Tang Dynasty, it started in April of the first year of Chenghe.  It has only been six months until now in October.  The Tang Dynasty alone collected more than 800 corpses of eastward escapees, and the number of eastward escapees that successfully crossed the border was less than 500.  According to them, the number of Persian fugitives who were killed before crossing the border was almost twenty times more than the corpses collected by the Tang Dynasty. This number is a conservative estimate. Persia was very cruel to the eastward fugitives.  If a person flees eastward, whether he succeeds or dies, his family members will be implicated and sent to work as coolies, so the Persians have now reached a consensus.  Either the whole family leaves together, or they don't leave.  The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty took a breath of air-conditioning after hearing this, more than twenty times. That is, more than 1,600 people tried to cross the border into the Tang Dynasty in six months. What kind of cruel treatment could the Persians go there regardless of life and death?  Are you escaping here in Datang?  Officials of the Tang Dynasty also counted the family status of more than 10,000 Persians who successfully crossed the border. Their total relatives who stayed in Persia were less than 1,000. In other words, they fled eastward to seek refuge with their relatives.  It was only a small part of it, and according to the oral accounts of those who fled eastward, their relatives were all sent to the army or worked as coolies, with no way to survive.  This rate of population loss is enough to shock people.  The officer frowned, but at this moment, a cry interrupted his thoughts.  "General Zhao, the commander has sent someone to deliver a letter!" A messenger handed a letter to General Zhao. General Zhao took the letter, opened it, looked at it, his face changed, and his brows furrowed tightly.  Then he stretched out his body, put down the letter, and immediately summoned all officers from the local military camp to the brigade commander and above to enter his military tent for a meeting.  "Everyone, I have received a letter from the commander-in-chief. His Majesty the Emperor personally issued an order to the Anxi Protectorate, ordering the Persian and Tang Dynasty border guards under the Anxi Governor's Mansion to change their attitude towards the Persians from today on, and move to the area ten miles to the west.  Set up more patrols, especially outside the blockade set up by the Persians. The patrols of the Tang army must be able to directly observe the situation there. Once they find Persian refugees crossing the boundary, they must immediately step forward to protect them. They cannot  Like before againJust let the Persian archers shoot him!  "General Zhao raised the letter and said excitedly. The officers in the military camp looked at each other, and one officer asked: "Your Majesty?  Did you promise us?  General Zhao nodded: "Yes, your Majesty promised us!"  Now I will give the order!  You all should go back immediately to organize your troops, prepare for war, and increase the number of patrols. We cannot blatantly move the military camp there, but our troops can pass by. We must be able to monitor the blockade set up by the Persians day and night. Once Persian refugees successfully cross the border,  We must help immediately so that no one will suffer like this!  " All the officers agreed in unison: "Promise!  General Zhao watched the officers leave the military camp and breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was transferred here in the 19th year of Zhenguan, he has been asking the commander of the border army, Jiao Changhe, to do this. Marshal Jiao seemed to want to do this too.  In doing so, Du He, the chief protector of the Anxi Protectorate, seemed to want to do this, but the emperor at the time, the current Supreme Emperor Li Er, had been suppressing the army's request. In April this year, the Supreme Emperor gave the throne to the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.  After ascending the throne and changing his Yuan Dynasty to Chenghe, he immediately asked Jiao Changhe to allow him to do so. Jiao Changhe continued to ask the Anxi capital to protect Du He. Du He petitioned the new emperor Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian did not reply at first. A few months later,  The answer came - permission. The news gradually spread, and the entire Anxi Army was inexplicably excited, especially the military academy student officers who valued honor more than their lives. They had been suppressed for a long time and were in agony. The new emperor and the new principal.  Li Chengqian agreed to their request, which made them feel much relieved, and their impression of the new emperor and new principal suddenly improved. Of course, Li Chengqian's request was made without touching the bottom line of the Persians.  If they want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty can win, the gains will not be worth the losses. There is no more power to govern the Persian homeland and the Persians. Therefore, for the time being, the Persians cannot be overly stimulated and let the Persians continue to fight fiercely with the Romans.  , Use up their little remaining vitality! The Persians are not aware of the changes in the policies of the Tang Dynasty, so they treat the eastward escapers as cruelly as ever. Speaking of those Persian border guards, it is gradually difficult for them to suppress their emotions.  The army originally sympathized with those who fled eastward, but sympathy is sympathy, and no one can bear it. Persia has been at war for many years, and its productivity has been seriously damaged. The upper class has become corrupt, and the lower class of the ruling class has also suffered.  , the polarization in the army is also very serious. The phenomenon of eastward escapers is very serious. At the beginning, there was even a phenomenon where soldiers secretly assisted eastward escapees as long as they gave them property. This phenomenon was not known.  It's okay if someone in the advisory group knows about it. Doesn't this mean that they have less opportunities to enjoy it? One less person means less productivity, and they will have less luxury.  How could he accept it? Then, a vicious plan came up, from an old adviser of the advisory group, to secretly reduce the rations and military pay of the Potang Border Guards, and then set up a system to reward every eastwarder killed.  The border guards were given a bag of grain, a piece of meat weighing five kilograms, or money in exchange for their own choice, and their promotion was determined based on the number of people who fled eastward. After that, the living conditions of the eastward fugitives on the Potang border took a turn for the worse.  This is also the root cause of the situation that even if Eastwarders cross the border, they will be shot dead by Persian archers. Under the temptation of food, money and power, Eastwarders have gone from being objects of sympathy to accumulating experience.  The border guards were very keen on killing eastward fugitives, and even fought over the ownership of a Eastwarding fugitive's body.  This news was discovered by the Bloody Spies in Persia and reported to the new emperor Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian was shocked and angry. There was one-sided criticism within the imperial court for the occurrence of this situation. Although they did not approve of the Tang Dynasty's interference in this matter, this was also  An important reason that contributed to Li Chengqian's change of attitude was that the land and population from now on will belong to the Tang Dynasty. Now you are going on a killing spree and leaving the mess for me. I will wipe your ass?  After Li Chengqian came to the throne, he delivered the first letter of credence to the Persian Empire as emperor, informing them of the current and future decisions of the Tang Dynasty, as well as Li Chengqian's concerns about the attitude of the Persian Empire towards refugees. Li Chengqian said, you are like this  I can't do it. I heard in Chang'an City that I want to send troops to destroy you, let alone the troops I see every day. You said that if I am not careful, I am so far away. It's not good.  Control the border guards there. If they can't help but attack us, how will we end it?  You think so?  The little emperor of Persia was very upset by the credentials of the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He didn¡¯t know the methods of the Tang Dynasty.How did they learn about their internal resolution on those who fled eastward? But now that the credentials of the Tang Dynasty have arrived, and there is a slight change in attitude towards Persia, and they are angry at the cruelty and inhumanity of the upper class of the Persian Empire,  Even the plan to involve the military is "very likely".  The Persian high-level officials have become accustomed to it over the years. From the moment they heard the sound of cannons, they would tremble when they saw the people of the Tang Dynasty, from the heart to the legs and feet. This was true from the government to the army. When they saw the Tang Dynasty, they would soften.  The old emperor Li Shimin was like a lion and a tiger, and he was not polite to them at all. They secretly hated Li Shimin in their hearts, but they were helpless. Finally, when the old emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne, the Persians thought that the young new emperor was gentler, but as a result this  The new emperor is more awesome than his father and directly issued his credentials The Persians felt quite depressed.  But the existence of those who fled eastward really made it difficult for them to sleep peacefully. They were frightened three times in one night. Fortunately, the mainland was fine, but the phenomenon of people fleeing eastward near the border area of ??the Tang Dynasty was very serious. At that time, even some soldiers and officials would flee eastward and enter the Tang Dynasty.  The Persians are also eager to live a good life in the country. How come the Tang Dynasty is so rich and has so much land, but they have no choice. One less person means less strength, and they must definitely prevent this situation from happening.  This is what is said and done, but the effect is not obvious. The Tang army and merchants had a very good impression on the Persians before. The market for those rumors is not very big, except for those Persians who have never seen the Tang people who believe it.  , the Persians who had met the Tang people or even had direct contact with the Tang people did not believe it. Especially in the border areas, the rumors were almost extinct and could not be heard at all.  How should we deal with the phenomenon of people fleeing eastward?  (My novel "Story of Zhenguan" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
