Chapter 490: Silence
The blueprint that Lai Zonghan planned for Gewa is actually very simple, that is, to stick to his roots, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and gradually grasp the military and political power of the entire Tibetan, this grasp is stable, stable, and firm, not like now, with high-pressure means to force everyone to submit, this is only a surface after all, not stable at all.
According to Lai Zonghan's plan, after the last ten years and eight years, the rights are stable, and when the time is ripe, Gewa has too many choices, abolishing and replacing, and can choose calmly.
During this period, the heavy use of the Han people was increased, because for the Tibetans, the Han people were foreigners, and their rights could only depend on those in power, which was of little harm, and then carried out reforms to suppress the wealthy families with different aspirations in the country and consolidate their own rights, which was the right way.
Lai Zonghan once told Gewa that after the defeat of Hebei in the later years of Pingzong, the country was shaken, the emperor's authority was discredited, and there were sons vying for the throne, and the government was chaotic. Although Zhao Zhi is not the king of Shengming, but he has the courage, dare to use people, dare to delegate power, and continue to reuse a group of good talents such as Liu Wei, Yang Daosi, Hong Qian, etc., but also the only remaining military force of the Jin Dynasty at that time, handed over to Zhao Zhi's friend in distress, Li Zhong who was born in poverty, it turns out that Li Zhong is indeed a military wizard who is rare in a century, he and Liu Jian worked together, it took less than three years, several times to win more with less, defeated the Hu people and Tubo, and completely stabilized the overall situation of the entire Longyou, but also with this prestige, shocked the princes of the world, so that it reattaches importance to the imperial court and does not dare to be presumptuous.
Lai Zonghan has always been Gewa's most trusted confidant and strategist, without his assistance, Gewa would not be able to go to this point today, in the past, Lai Zonghan's advice, Gewa has always been obedient, but there is a good saying, the head turns with the buttocks, the status is high, and there are more ideas.
In recent generations of Tibet, Zampu has the same habit, that is, after succeeding to the throne, the first thing to do is to gather troops, master military power, and establish prestige in the name of going out to Longyou, which has almost become a tradition in Tubo for decades.
After Gewa supported Nisson Hun Shi to succeed to the throne, many generals spoke out one after another, asking to send troops to Longyou, and Gewa had the intention to obey the public opinion, but was finally persuaded by Lai Zonghan.
But two things happened that completely changed Gueva's mind.
First, the Jin Dynasty is the nominal suzerainty of Tubo, and this relationship has lasted for hundreds of years, so after Tubo Zampu succeeded to the throne, he should send an envoy to Fengjing to ask for canonization.
Lai Zonghan and Ge Wajiji's personal relationship is extremely bad, the hatred is very deep, Ge Wajiji is a person, very brave in battle, but also quite strategic, is not only Ge Wa's own brother, but also his right-hand man, but Ge Wajiji's shortcomings are also obvious, like to form a party, protect the short, the eldest brother is extremely heavy, and Lai Zonghan has always advocated strict military law, no favoritism, Ge Wajiji's henchman, is also his most favorite concubine's younger brother, his guard captain raped Anka's second wife, after the incident, Ge Wajiji tried his best to intercede, Gewa was originally going to beat a hundred rods, cut his post for the people, and even if he was punished heavily, he didn't kill it, it was Lai Zonghan who thought that his wife could also be humiliated, who dared to serve his life as a rhetoric, and finally persuaded Gewa to punish him heavily, and the five horses were divided, and his sister, Gewajiji's favorite concubine, so he was overly sad, and it didn't take long for him to die, since then, Gewajiji hated Lai Zonghan to the bone, the two described fire and water, and Anka Porgan was grateful to Lai Zonghan, and the two gradually became friends.
Second, Gevajiji vigorously opposed Lai Zonghan's political line, not only because of the personal enmity between the two, but also because Gewajiji represented the hardliners of the Tibetan military, and the first battle of Longyou ended in the fiasco of Tubo.
It is in this context that Gewa finally gave up Lai Zonghan's development route, but he did not give up completely, for the useful Han people, began to have a limited use, as for the ordinary civilian Han people, their life and death, Gewa didn't care much about it, really promoted, wantonly killed Han people, the driving force behind the scenes, in fact, was not Gewa, but Gewa Jiji, he did this, completely to take revenge on Lai Zonghan, he succeeded, many of Lai Zonghan's friends and students, were killed in this turmoil, since then, Lai Zonghan began to become reticent, giving less and less advice, or even not speaking.
Longyou is not easy to fight, even if the entire Longyou North Road is beaten, in the face of the Jin Dynasty's all-out counterattack, Tubo still has no chance of winning, Lai Zonghan's reminder, Gewa still listened to some of it, so, the second battle of Longyou has just begun, Gewa has 100,000 troops in Broken Dragon Fort, the number of troops is not much, not too little, for most of the month, there has been no action, just to see the reaction of the Jin Dynasty, what is the reaction of the Jin Dynasty? It is not contemptible, but it is not particularly important, it is just the use of the troops of Longyou North Province for defense, and it is even sent to Liu Zhigu, who has a great reputation, but does not know the soldiers, to Longyou and serve as the highest military and political chief.
The arrangement of the Jin Dynasty made Gewa have a contempt, and with this kind of psychology, he was naturally bolder, but even at this time, Gewa was still not ready to go to war, after all, the fiasco of the first battle of Longyou had just passed, and the defeat at that time was like a lost dog, and the memory was still deep.
Subsequently, Gewa increased some troops and formulated a military plan to raid Liangzhou, this plan was just a sudden thought of him, and his original greatest luxury was just to take such a big bite from the big fat meat of Anbei, achieve a victory, and gain some prestige for himself.
However, the development of the situation, really much beyond Gewa's expectations, a night attack, Anbei Jiedu was seriously injured, nearly 20,000 enemies, Anbei army retreated, Liangzhou was breached, the subsequent progress, it was smooth sailing, the state and Langzhou were taken one after another, the military power of the Jin Dynasty in Longyou North Road was almost completely destroyed, and only a precarious Shanzhou remained.
The situation has developed to this point, and Gewa's ambition has been completely stimulated, that is, the entire land of the eleven states of Longyou, at least the seven states in the west of Longyou. Fupin Chinese
