Four hundred and seventy-three Tubo chaos
Things related to the Tang Dynasty have always been pressed down on the east side, and gourds floated up on the west side. Perhaps God was disliked by the Tang Dynasty and felt that the development of the Tang Dynasty was too incredible. Some of them were beyond the scope of this era. The areas around Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty have the highest development level, and have reached the level of at least being able to fill their stomachs. On the premise that both meals can guarantee the quantity, His Majesty Li Er ordered that people with conditions allow three meals a day without worrying about being regarded as a transcendence. Although before this, three meals a day were the privilege of the nobles... Read the latest and most complete novel
After the large-scale enrichment of material production, the nobles lost this privilege. To be precise, in addition to the nobles, many people in the surrounding areas of Chang'an City also obtained this privilege. Therefore, even if this privilege is not a privilege, other areas in the world still stayed in the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood or when the poor were poor and unable to eat. The area within a radius of hundreds of miles of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty has become the most civilized and material rich in the world.
With Chang'an City as the center, it radiates to the surroundings step by step. Guanzhong region follows Chang'an's footsteps, planting a large number of high-yield crops and economic crops, raising livestock to provide meat, and introducing a large number of greenhouse technology so that vegetables can be eaten in winter. The plans for Shandong's revival and Jiangnan's rise are also being steadily carried out. The people in these two regions have gradually settled down and developed vigorously according to the Chang'an model.
The education popularization plan also began the second round of popularization. This time, the popularization areas were the most severely hit in Shandong, as well as Yangzhou and Jingzhou areas in the south of the Yangtze River. One thousand enlightenment teachers were sent to various places on time to carry out relevant preparations, and labor reform policies continued to be implemented. Most of the north had successfully stopped corvee labor. All work would be completed by prisoners of war under the surveillance of the army. Young and strong men did physical work, women and young people did some work such as sewing clothes and raising livestock.
The immigration policy for foreign races has also been implemented rapidly. Foreign immigrants can only be considered legal through five major channels to enter the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it is illegal. After entering the Tang Dynasty, they can only choose to live in four major cities. Foreign merchants cannot get involved in other places. If you want to walk on the land of the Tang Dynasty, you need a pass or a permanent residence permit. You can become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Only after becoming a permanent resident of the Tang Dynasty can you enjoy a series of powers possessed by the Tang Dynasty.
The ID card has received unanimous praise from officials of the Tang Dynasty. They all believed that after this thing was made, it had good evidence for counting the number of households and collecting taxes. In addition, the identification methods such as the five finger marks and physical characteristics on the identity certificate also hit the black household registration a big blow. The black households who came out of the mountains finally became famous in the world, and there were hundreds of thousands of people.
The preparations for the imperial examination are in full swing. This is the first time that the imperial examination will be opened to the public. The names and official positions required by the imperial court will be made public to the world, so that everyone in the world will know what kind of position they can get. The highest is the county magistrate, and the lowest is also considered civil servants. Official positions above the county magistrate cannot be awarded without a certain experience, because the standards for assessing officials in the Tang Dynasty are becoming more and more stringent.
The first-class students of the Military University officially graduated. Military generals flocked to the Military University to grab people. Yes, rob people. Those particularly outstanding students, such as Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Du He who are still guarding the borders of the Western Regions, were specially named. Almost every officer who came to the military academy to ask for people was robbing people. Several generals rushed to fight and said they wanted to use force to decide whether these outstanding students will stay or not. Xue Rengui and the other two had no idea that they had been sold by the military academy.
As for other students, such as Xiao Zhou Yu, a famous military academy star Xiao and Meng Yu and other members of the security department were also named to leave. Cheng Yaojin showed the style of a general. He rode a high-headed horse with his own horse spear and fought with Duan Zhixuan who was also trying to steal people. The fight was so thunderous. Li Shiji competed with Li Daliang with a dark face. The two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche turned against each other and compared boxing.
The military academy ushered in the most lively day, and all the teachers suspended classes tacitly. The second-term students and newly recruited third-term students went to watch the fun to see how the first-term seniors were captured by the generals. Generally, they could take away five people by winning one. The comprehensive ranking of the military academy was listed by Li Jing, written on big red paper, and posted on the speech stage in the playground. Dozens of generals were fighting together on the field, first in a melee, then fighting against each other, and finally a decisive battle. The first winner could take away the best five people.
In the end, Cheng Yaojin acted like a rogue and got the first place. So he happily planned to take away all the top five students in the military academy, and then was stopped by Li Jing - the top twenty outstanding students could only take away one at a time.
Cheng Yaojin was furious and was about to make a fist to reason with Li Jing, but he was pressed to the ground by the ecstatic generals who were catching up with him and beaten violently. Yuchi Gong was the most excited and kept shouting that he had already disliked you, the old guy, and he was so greedy that the top five wanted...
In the end, Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance were stolen by Cheng Yaojin, Du He and Changsun Chong were taken away by Li Shiji, Su Dingfang stolen Meng Yu and Zhao Liang, Duan Zhixuan stolen Jiao Changhe and Cheng Chumo...
In short, the students of the military academy were taken away by dozens of generals and packed them up and taken away. At the end, a group of generals were carried away by the students they selected with bruised noses, swollen faces, and disheveled clothes. Follow them to the military camp. While walking, a group of old thugs were still cursing each other, saying that the best next year must be mine, etc.
This became a tradition in the future. Every year when the military academy students graduated, they were in the arena for the generals and generals of the guards. The fights were so wonderful that His Majesty Li Er also heard about the news and presided over the snatching ceremony himself. In order to gain a face in front of the emperor, these old guys fought even more happily.
When the older generation of generals retired and the new generation of generals grew up, for example, in the era of Xue Rengui and others several years later, the previous year's military merit competition was introduced, various temptations of fame and fortune, various martial arts and promotion systems, and finally, there were a series of competitions of military food, military pay, reward and punishment systems, and a competition site for a good army in the Tang Dynasty.
Because the emperor was in charge, no one dared to be clever. The generals even brought out the former military academy students who were taken away in the previous year or the previous year to show up, telling how good he lived in this army, how great his military merits were, how much preferential the generals treated him, how rich they were in food and drink... So this unintentionally enhanced the transparency of the army and the momentum of mutual competition and progress, laying a good foundation for the continuous improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Tang army.
The Tang Dynasty was booming, but Tubo was getting worse and worse. The counterattack that Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan dreamed of did not bring peace to Tubo. It brought about an almost unstoppable melee, because the power of Buddhism and Taoism was relatively stable in the south, especially around Luxue City, so after the divine religion around Luxue City was expelled, the order in those places was very good. It was easy to manage. It gave Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan a blind faith.
But unexpectedly, the more you go north, the more you find that the situation is in chaos. There are no Taoist priests and monks from the Tang Dynasty going there to preach and organize sects, but inexplicably a large group of mobs who are hostile to each other under the banner of Buddhism and Taoism. They call each other a thief, and support Buddhism here and there, but they do not abide by the rules, nor do they know what Buddhism and Taoism are. The fundamental nature is a local gang that competes for hegemony.
It was better to be a little further south. When we went north, Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan realized that the situation was indeed serious. These areas had been divided and occupied by the so-called Buddhist sects and Taoist sects. They took the weapons left over from the Divine Sects, and both sides attacked each other. They treated the civilians with excessive taxes and even robbed them, resulting in a large number of people being displaced, losing their houses and land, and losing cattle, sheep and grassland.
Where Buddhism and Taoism had never reached, there were mutual hostility and revenge between the Buddhist sects and Taoism, which surprised Ziyun Zhenren and Master Changjie. Then they learned that this was not Buddhists and Taoists at all, but just a group of bandits who were under the names of Buddhists and Taoists. They then suggested that Buddhism and Taoism were insufficient and it was difficult to go to preach and quell the matter in a short time. They did not expect the situation to be in chaos. This should be the crazy revenge caused by the local people being oppressed for too long. Buddhism and Taoism are just slogans.
Songzan Gampo and Lu Dongzan urgently discussed whether to send troops to suppress the rebellion, but because a large number of troops were suppressed, the army that could be trusted was only 50,000, and too many troops could not be dispatched. So Songzan Gampo decided to ask Lu Dongzan to contact more than a dozen lords from the north to jointly send troops south to suppress the unrest and stabilize the situation in the shortest time. As soon as Lu Dongzan was about to send a letter, he received a letter from a blood-covered messenger...
Six of the lands of the twelve lords in the north have been captured by mobs, and the remaining six are in a group to defend hard. However, the number of mobs is too large, even exceeding the number of premeditated people of the Divine Cult at the time. The defense line is almost collapsed, and Lu Dongzan's territory has been lost in half. Lu Dongzan's eldest son and third son were killed by mobs, and the rest of the family fled to other places and asked Lu Dongzan to lead troops to support as soon as possible.
Lu Dongzan suddenly panicked...
Songtsen Gampo took a breath and finally realized that something was wrong. The Gods did oppress all the people very badly, but they also played the role of maintaining order. Once they lost their prestige, it is not difficult to imagine how tragic the rebound of the deceived people would be. After the rebound, the Gods collapsed, but the people who maintained order at the same time no longer existed. If the people who lost the power of Buddhism and Taoism did not have time to reach those places, what would happen? Is this difficult to imagine?
Songtsen Gampo made up his mind to mobilize 25,000 elite troops and 75,000 ordinary troops, a total of 100,000 troops to Lu Dongzan, so that he could go north to suppress the rebellion and save his own family and his territory. He should also pay attention to his own safety. He led 25,000 elite troops and the remaining troops to take charge of Luoshecheng and stabilize the southern territory of Tubo.
Lu Dongzan did not stop at any time and quickly took the order. A few hours later, the 100,000 army set out in a mighty manner. Ziyun Zhenren was surprised to find that the army was carrying food, so he asked the Tubo officials. The Tubo officials said that the Tubo army always fought wherever they fought, and they were dealing with mobs. After killing them, they could just rob their food and supply themselves.
Ziyun Zhenren was stunned...
Things have reached this point. The intelligence forces that had been hidden in the Tang Dynasty for a long time finally didn't have to hide. Most of the Tubo was trapped in extreme chaos. In the chaos, intelligence personnel were the least likely to be discovered, so this is a great time for intelligence exchange!
So, at night, just look up and look carefully, you can see a bird's figure flashing by under a bright moon and flew northeastward... (To be continued...)
