Chapter 55: Fifty-fifth Chang'an Fanghua
Tang Zhangwei's troops, on the Khitan steppe, achieved very good results.
Bai Cunxiao's exploits were the first, and then Tang Zhangwei set his sights on Fusang.
During the Tang Dynasty, Fusang continued to send students to the Tang Dynasty, hoping to acquire the advanced cultural knowledge of the Tang Dynasty.
However, as soon as Tang Zhangwei thought of Fusang, the so-called big country in the sea, he couldn't help but want to send a large army to conquer.
At this time, the people of Fusang temporarily gained peace because of the competition between Tang Zhangwei and the Khitan Khan, but Tang Zhangwei had been letting his subordinates build warships.
When the Khitan grassland gained a temporary calm, the extermination of the Japanese people was included in Tang Zhangwei's plan.
Tang Zhangwei sent people to launch a tentative attack on the island of Kyushu in Fuso.
On the eve of Tang Zhangwei's personal training army and preparing for the conquest of Fusang, Yu Feiyan came to Tang Zhangwei's mansion with wine.
Yu Feiyan's eyes were drunk, and she said: "Do you think the territory of the Khitan grassland in the Tang Dynasty is stable now?" ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "It's okay! I think it's pretty solid. ”
Cao Yanyan, the servant girl who followed Tang Zhangwei, poured wine with Yu Feiyan while constantly driving away mosquitoes and flies for them.
Yu Feiyan said, "Why don't you use Biluo Tent? ”
Tang Zhangwei said: "Aren't the soldiers of the Tang Army suffering from mosquitoes and flies in this grassland like me? ”
Yu Feiyan said, "You! Sometimes I'm too myself. However, the fact that you let the Tang Dynasty soldiers marry Khitan widows and girls is indeed a trick. ”
The golden bowl brought by Yu Feiyan shone with amber light, and the wine in the golden bowl and the milk wine in the silver bowl turned the whole tent into a warm color.
The two were drunk, and the maidservant Cao Yanyan lit wormwood and Zhilan, and the whole tent was restless.
The next day, when the morning glow dyed the sky red, Yu Feiyan got up, and she said: "This is harmony, in fact, the earth is the best bed in the sky." Let our Tang Dynasty men lie on the bed of grassland beauties, this is the best way to integrate and appease the people. ”
The men of the Tang Dynasty have already begun to do this.
On the grassland, the strong bodies of the Tang Dynasty soldiers gave the women of the Khitan grassland great satisfaction.
Their energy and experience have nourished a new generation of women on the grassland, and the heroes of the grassland have begun to slowly give birth.
With these families, the Khitan steppe became a solid rear of the Tang army.
Bai Cunxiao led the army and continued to search for the traces of the Khitan Khan's spur in Lingbei.
The Don army conquered one snowy tribe after another, and the army occupied Lake Belga, then known as the North Sea.
The Tang army relocated many immigrants from the Central Plains to the far north, and these immigrants built their hearts and homes out of wooden houses.
The vast prefectures and counties of Lingbei have become the newest territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the precious timber in various parts of Lingbei has been cut down in pieces, and of course, according to Tang Zhangwei's orders, they have left a reserve forest every ten miles to protect the local ecology.
The timber was transported to the Khitan steppe via newly built roads or rivers and then into Youzhou City.
Tang Zhangwei's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and Tang Xizong is worried that if he really sends troops to Chang'an, his throne may not be guaranteed. Fortunately, Tang Zhangwei didn't mean this.
In Chang'an City, Tang Xizong learned that Tang Zhangwei completely conquered the Khitan grassland and occupied the entire Mobei, he sighed and said: "My Tang army fought against the Khitan, and every time it suffered heavy losses to win, today Tang Zhangwei is an unborn genius, he fought the world with a machete, pacified the land of thousands of miles, and was really a generation of war gods." ”
Zhongguan Tian Lingzi said: "Since Tang Zhangwei wants to send troops to Fusang, it is better for us to make him the lord of Fusang, so that we don't have to spend a penny, and we can also bring trouble to the east." Thinking that Fusang country is thousands of miles away, Tang Zhangwei will definitely spend a lot of money to attack this place, and we can rest for a while. ”
Tang Xizong said: "The lord of Fusang is not appropriate, I still named him the governor of Fusang, and he is also the secretary of Lingbei Province. ”
Tian Lingzi said: "Tang Zhangwei is a good governor, he will definitely spend a lot of money for this." ”
To fight a war is to fight for money, but Tang Zhangwei has a better way.
Tang Zhangwei opened all the generals and grasslands in his territory, as well as the fishing and hunting tribes, to attack Fusang.
From Zhenhai and other places, to the various peninsulas of Lingbei Province newly conquered by Tang Zhangwei, and then to Yanzhou Port, there are Tang soldiers and civilians who are busy like ants and worker bees.
Many landlords and wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty organized their own teams of servants and servants.
3,000 warships headed for the island of Kyushu in Fuso.
Fujiwara Ketsune summoned Fujiwara Shinji, and he inquired in detail about the combat strength of the Tang army, and the lord of Yangcheng heard that the Tang army was coming. He immediately ordered Fujiwara Ketsu to go to the Dazaifu line in Kyushu to defend it, but Fujiwara Ketsune ignored this order.
After hardships, Fujiwara Miko, who absconded and returned, also advised Fujiwara Kijing not to fight the Tang army without authorization, and it was best to focus on peace talks.
Fujiwara Kitsune smiled wryly, and he said: "If you can talk to the Tang Army, who is crazy and has to fight them?" ”
Fujiwara Kei led 30,000 Fuso samurai and 100,000 Ashigaru to Dazaifu on Kyushu Island to garrison Dazaifu.
Tang Zhangwei's branch has three roads, one route to Andong Metropolitan Protectorate into Ezo Island. One route was led by Tang Zhangwei himself to attack Kyushu Island, and the other route was led by Wei Youji to directly attack Honshu Island.
On Ezo Island, there are only the aboriginal Ezo people, and these people are of the Dongyi race.
They have established a country of high and high age, and their people, men and women, are tattooed and brave. Ezo Road, also known as Hokkaido, is fertile and open, and Bai Cunxiao led a thousand warships into Ezo Road.
Due to their small and scattered numbers, the Ezo people are relatively backward in productivity, and their country is actually a tribal alliance.
Therefore, the well-equipped Don army easily occupied the island.
Tang Zhangwei fought a fierce battle with Fuso's army on Kyushu Island, and Matsumae Fukuyama, the local feudal lord of Kyushu Island, and Fujiwara Shinji, the Kyushu pioneer envoy, and seven Fuso brave generals, relied on Dazaifu as a base to fight against the Tang army.
The Fuso army drove a thousand small boats and fought with the Tang army.
Tang Zhangwei ordered the Tang warships to attack the Fusang fleet with Greek fire, and as a result, 30,000 Fusang sailors were burned to ashes along with the warships.
Of the 30,000 Fuso samurai, none of them survived, and seven brave generals, Suda Mitsuju, Nagao Keiaki, Shibabe Terumaga , Chisaka Takatsu, Kiyono Yuhide, Tarogawa Nobukin, and Hirabayashi were all killed in the war.
One hundred thousand ashichi was saved for the time being, and Fujiwara Shinji was extremely sad to see that Fuso's army had suffered another crushing defeat since the Battle of Shiraekou.
