Chapter 293: Fragmented Western Tibet

In Zhaode Fang, there is an extra door in Yang Lin's study, which is connected to an incense pavilion.

At the beginning, I thought that Yang Lin was the champion, presumably because he was a book-lover, so he built the study to be extraordinarily spacious, who knew that the champion did not read at all...

Yang Lin in line with the good character of making the best use of things, sent someone to add a partition in the middle, and opened up a fragrant pavilion.

There is a screen inlaid with gold and jade in the room, the four walls hang curtains, and there are two silver smokers more than three feet high in front of the couch, and jade antiques are placed on the shelves.

The whole floor is a thick carpet, and you have to remove your shoes and socks before you come in, but fortunately, the earth dragon stove makes it warm like spring.

Yang Lin was lying barefoot on the couch, holding a Taoist scripture book and reading vigorously, when suddenly the door opened outside.

Those who can enter their study without knocking on the door, there are only a few people back and forth, and Yang Lin doesn't care, sure enough, the door of Xiangge was pushed open, and it was Duan Miaozhen, who had not been seen for a long time.

When Princess Dali saw Yang Lin, her heartfelt smile was like a flower blooming, and she was incomparably beautiful.

Yang Lin threw away the book and made a gesture of opening his arms, Duan Miaozhen took off his shoes and socks and threw herself into his arms.

"Did you miss me?" Yang Lin asked knowingly.

With a slight hum, Duan Miaozhen had just come in from outside, her body was slightly cold, and she didn't want to move when she got into Yang Lin's arms.

Suddenly hearing a faint gossamer gasp, Duan Miaozhen was startled, looked up and looked back, and immediately blushed with shame.

I saw that under the screen, Li Yunnianghao had a red rope on her wrist, and she was hanging and squatting in front of the screen, with a rattan in her mouth.

"Lin Lang, what kind of Zhang Zhi is this, blame the poor man?" Duan Miaozhen said in a low voice.

"This lewd woman has been disobedient several times, brushed my mind, and taught her a lesson while she had nothing to do." Yang Lin said while touching Yun Niang with his toes, which made her even more embarrassed.

Li Yunniang's appearance was looked at, her face was red as if she was about to drip blood, Duan Miaozhen couldn't bear it even more, and pleaded: "Sister Yunniang must know that she is wrong, so you can spare her." ”

Yang Lin hugged Duan Miaozhen's thin waist, hugged her on her lap, and said with a smile: "My Zhen'er baby pleads for you, count your fate, will you dare in the future?" ”

Li Yunniang was ashamed and humiliated, shook her head gently, it turned out that the other end of the red rope was tied to Yang Lin's hand, and she sat down on the carpet with a gentle tug of the live buckle and untied it.

......

An hour later, Yang Lin panted slightly, told Yun Niang to get dressed and go to bring a cup of tea, lowered her head and asked Duan Miaozhen in her arms, "What has your father been busy with lately?" ”

Duan Miaozhen twisted her body, adjusted her comfortable posture, and said, "Daddy recites with his uncle every day, otherwise he teaches his brothers and brothers to do their homework, and I don't see anything else to do." ”

Yang Lin nodded and said, "Your Duan family has profound Buddhism, I am ready to play the emperor, and when you fight Tubo in the coming year, let your father go too." The Tibetan people believe in Buddhism, and they can't blindly attack it, so they have to find a way to make the Tibetan people return to their hearts from the religious point of view. ”

The Tubo Dynasty had long since collapsed, but the Great Song Dynasty and even the later Yuan and Ming dynasties habitually called those scattered tribes Tubo or Western Tibet.

If the Tubo were hit, the divided Tubo people would not be able to unite, and they would not be able to resist the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty. However, if you want to completely subdue them, you must start with Buddhism.

After the death of the last Tibetan king in the late Tang Dynasty, due to the dispute between his two sons, Yongdan, who was raised by the eldest princess, and Ou Song, who was born to the little princess, the ministers were divided into two factions, and the Tibetan royal family was divided into two branches and fought for many years.

The Tibetan generals in various places also supported the army and competed with each other, and some tribes that belonged to Tibet in the past also broke away from the jurisdiction of Tibet.

This was followed by a great revolt of slaves and commoners that swept across Tibet, and the Tibetan Dynasty collapsed with the decline of Buddhism.

After the establishment of the Western Xia, it posed a common threat to the Great Song Dynasty and Tibet, and the Great Song Dynasty distributed bows and arrows and other weapons to the Tibetan tribes in the Hexi Corridor and other places, and recruited Tibetan archers to establish a military system similar to the Great Song militia among the Tibetans, so as to jointly defend against the invasion and harassment of the Western Xia people.

The Song general Wang Shao opened up a large amount of land in the area of Linxia and Lintao in present-day Gansu Province, and recruited more than 300,000 Tibetans to engage in cultivation. The famous tea and horse markets were also held in the special markets of the Great Song Dynasty in present-day Ya'an, Sichuan, Linxia, Gansu, and some parts of Shaanxi, beginning the regular and fixed trade of horses from Tibetan areas and tea from Han areas for hundreds of years.

In other words, now that the Great Song Dynasty has sent troops to Tibet, there will be hundreds of thousands of leading parties.

At that time, it is only necessary to send a Buddhist representative to stabilize the place with religion from top to bottom, and it should be possible to slowly bring this group of people who have been tormented by the war into the arms of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although Tibet is divided, its ancestors conquered the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in one go, starting from the south of the Tianshan Mountains in the north, Juyanhai, to the southern foot of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and India, and the entire Kashmir region is the territory of Tibet.

Duan Zhengchun has completely lost the popularity of Dali, let alone becoming the emperor after going back, even if he sends him back to Dali, he doesn't dare to go back by himself.

The former Emperor Dali, it is still okay to go to Tubo to be a living Buddha, after all, they are all real Buddhists.

The south is becoming more and more stable, and it will be confident to clash with the strong enemy in the north in the future.

If he succeeds in taking Tubo, Zhao Ji, the mascot emperor, will surpass Zhao Kuangyin in just a few years...

However, thinking of the intricate power relations in Tibet, if you want to completely pacify Tibet, I am afraid that it will take a long time. And unlike Dali, there are no shortcuts here, fortunately, Yang Lin uses it as a whetstone for Song Jiang.

The Great Song Dynasty still has time, and the Jin soldiers have not yet had a chance to go south.

The Jurchens are not very confident now, and they will inevitably be a little afraid in the face of the behemoth of the Khitan.

Therefore, they will agree to the Khitan's request for peace, and also hope to establish diplomatic relations with the Great Song Dynasty, eager for recognition from the outside world.

Once Yelu Yanxi's personal expedition failed, and the Khitan's external strength and middle cadres were completely exposed, it was the time for the Jurchens to release their bestial nature.

In later history, in the face of the Great Song Dynasty, they were the same.

It was because Tong Guan was repeatedly defeated in the war against Yan, and the Jin people saw that the Liao soldiers they bullied at will could kill the Song army to the point of losing their armor and abandoning their armor, which aroused the desire of the Jurchens to go south.

This year, the Liao and Jin people sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty at the same time, and the two groups of people met, but they must not have an accident in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

The battle of Liaojin was an opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty to strengthen itself, and with the joint efforts of Cai Jing and Yang Lin, the Great Song Dynasty could intervene sideways and profit from it when the war was stalemate.

But now, the Song Dynasty had better not help each other, not to be dragged into this big war, and lose the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
