Chapter 951: That Man
Emperor Shi and Heirloom Protector of the Kingdom, although these two are just a name, but with this name, Leng Feng can almost walk sideways in Datang like Li Shimin.
Yong'an began, but the old ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty did not disappear in the passage of time, but insisted on shining in their respective fields. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's book was published in the end, and the literary world was a sensation for a while, and with the influence of this time, archaeology gained a firm foothold in the Tang Dynasty. Although Wei Chigong and the others have retired, they still occasionally go to the martial arts academy to have a good time. The martial arts academy only teaches knowledge, but lacks sufficient arguments, and with the experience of these old generals as a comparison, students can better appreciate the wonders of the art of war.
Because of these, instead of becoming obscure, the glory of Zhenguan Laochen overshadowed the incumbent officials, which made the incumbent officials extremely helpless.
On the way out of Leng Feng, the officials he met were all extremely enthusiastic, and they were proud to personally entertain the protector. The rich are a little better, and some poor officials will do their best to receive him by smashing pots and selling iron.
Now that he has successfully arrived in Gaochang, Leng Feng can't help but sigh.
It seems that you really can't just come out in the future.
Living outside the city to remember the previous big war is a bit silly. So the next day, Leng Feng entered the city under Du Yang's persuasion. Throughout the night of guarding, many sergeants were frozen.
Today's Gaochang City is a little depressed. Although it was an important stronghold of the Western Regions Trade Road, the war on the side of the Great Food affected commerce.
The stele outside the city is still there, recording the tragedy of the battle of Gaochang, although five years have passed, but there are still people who spontaneously come to worship, and the stele is full of incense and candle paper ashes.
Du Yang said: "Actually, the people of foreign tribes are also very easy to manage. As long as those of us who are officials don't push them too much, they won't care if they are ruled by the Han Chinese. Here in Gaochang, the people already believe in the government very much, so they also understand the hardships of the government in the battle of Gaochang and the government to let them evacuate, and they are also grateful to these soldiers who guarded Gaochang. ”
Looking at a few foreign people who burned paper for sacrifice, Leng Feng couldn't help but nodded.
The Tang Dynasty has never resisted foreign races, or rather, the Central Plains people have had a strong tolerance since ancient times. No matter where the civilians are, as long as they obey the management, the Tang Dynasty government will never excessively torment them. Of course, the race that is superficially obedient but actually rebellious like Goryeo, or the race that carries original sin on the island, is a different matter.
Perhaps because of the influence of his master, Li Chengqian also hated the Japanese people, and even vetoed the idea of the military sending troops to the Japanese country and conquering the land. This place in the Wa Kingdom is really a bit chicken for the Tang Dynasty. Its only advantage is probably that the island is rich in volcanic products and gold and silver minerals. But these are not necessary for Datang. There is no need to attack it, as long as the ships of the East China Sea Fleet drive to the gate of the Wa Kingdom, if they need something, just open their mouths.
No matter which of the three kingdoms of Silla and Baekje had the last laugh, they could not escape the fate of becoming a mining slave.
Seeing Gao Chang's indoctrination of foreign tribes with his own eyes touched Leng Feng a lot, so he decided to go a little further and go to the Western Regions Road to have a look.
It took five years for Wang Xuance to pat his chest and tell the court that there was no problem here. As a gentleman, Leng Feng felt that it was necessary for him to verify the results of his students with his own eyes.
The center of the Western Regions Road is in a place called Karshi, where Tang Jin is also located.
Karshi was not far from the border of the Tang Dynasty, and when Leng Feng arrived, Tang Jin had already completed the deterrence of the Turkic Great Eclipse in the Western Regions.
"Sir, the Turks are truly shocking. In just a few years, they actually unified the countries of the Western Regions and took them into their own strength. Moreover, it was the kid Ashina Helu who completed all this, which is really surprising. ”
For this news, Leng Feng was not surprised. The strength of the Turks was originally the largest in the Turkic Alliance in the Western Regions, and although the countries in the Western Regions seemed to be a rope, they actually had their own ghosts, and it was not impossible to be defeated by the Turks. What's more, although Ashina Helu is a bit stupid, he is decisive enough to kill, and with the help of his sister, it is not difficult for him to unify the Turks and then pacify the countries of the Western Regions.
Although the kar stone is the center of a piece, it is not as prosperous as Gaochang.
Thinking of the purpose of his visit, Leng Feng asked Tang Jin: "You have been here for a while, what do you think of the residents here?" Do you still resist the rule of our Tang Dynasty? ”
Tang Jin replied: "Mr. Hui, the students think that the residents here are quite obedient, and I want to requisition a place for the army to live." Their leaders immediately emptied a lot of their houses, and insisted on not taking money, but only seeking refuge from the army. Although I forced them to take it, they exchanged it for food and gave it back to the army. ”
Li Erniu said: "I heard Wei Guogong say that this place in the Western Regions has been a chaotic place since ancient times, and the residents here are accustomed to obedience, as long as they can live in peace under the protection of powerful forces, they have no reason to resist." Even if there are some people who are ambitious and immortal, I am afraid that they have been pulled out by Wang Xuance to make an example of them over the years. ”
Leng Feng stretched out his thumb to Li Erniu, this guy actually has the wind of a general inexplicably. It's just a pity that he lost this opportunity, so he can only hope for his youngest son.
When he came to the border of the Tang Dynasty, Leng Feng originally wanted to see a more border place, but he was stopped by Tang Jin and the Western Regions.
In desperation, Leng Feng could only give up this idea.
Turkic-royal camp
A little boy dressed in luxury jumped into a tent and hugged his aunt's thigh.
Ashina Ayi smiled and picked up the little boy and pinched his nose.
Five years have passed, and traces of wrinkles have also appeared in the corners of Ashina Ayi's eyes. She likes her younger brother's youngest son very much, perhaps because he speaks Chinese very well.
The little boy pinched his nose, but he was not angry: "Auntie, why do you want me to learn the Han language." When I told other people, they didn't understand. ”
Ashina Ayi walked out of the tent with his nephew in his arms, pointed to the east and said, "Jena, you remember, in the east, there is a powerful country called the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty speak this language. ”
"People from Datang say such things? That aunt, when we finish fighting the big cannibals, how about beating Datang down? ”
Ashina Ayi smiled bitterly: "Datang, you can't beat it now, and you can't beat it now." We can only always look up to the country of Datang. Jena, you are my smartest nephew, you have to remember, don't be like your father who refuses to accept the reality and is still stupidly calculating Datang. Because of the existence of that person, Datang is now as invincible as the wolf king who crisscrosses the grassland, and anyone who dares to provoke it will only attract bites. ”。
Jena scratched her head: "That person, is my aunt talking about the person called the Protector?" ”
Ashina Ayi corrected: "He is not called the Protector, he is called Leng Feng, and the Protector is his title." Jena, the reason why I teach you personally is that I want you to be as much like that person as possible. Only in this way can you lead our Turks and pass them on forever! ”
