Chapter 480: Good News from the Quartet
The four years of Zhenguan in history was a decadent and colorful year, in which Li Shimin destroyed the Turks and began to embark on the road of the Heavenly Khan.
And now the four years of Zhenguan are even more colorful than in history.
The fall of Goguryeo, the destruction of Tuyuhun, the destruction of the party departments, the destruction of the Yunnan tribes, the fall of the Western Turks, and even the main army on the Tibetan Plateau were also defeated in Guanzhong.
There are also many small countries like Silla, Baekje, Wa, Linyi, and many other small countries to submit to it, and the Tang Dynasty is about to become a well-deserved overlord in Asia, which is much more than the name of a heavenly khan.
In Chang'an City, knowing that the war had been decided, Empress Changsun finally let go of a hanging heart, Fang Xuanling asked her to move back to the palace, and escorted her, only some chamberlains and art troupe members, because the palace guards, are still on the battlefield outside the city, this war, almost the entire Guanzhong manpower used to the extreme.
Lu Dongzan was tied up, Fang Xuanling would temporarily lock him up in the prison of the imperial city, after all, he was a high-ranking official at the level of the prime minister of Tubo, and it was up to Li Shimin to decide how to deal with it.
As for the rest, the courtiers are not welcome.
The intact Tubo Plateau horses, which are valuable trophies, there are more than 300,000 horses! As for the baggage that came immediately, there was not much, and the big guys basically looked down on it, but there were more than 100,000 dead horses, and everyone felt that they could not waste it, and they would share the meat among the people who participated in the war, and it would be good to take it back to fight for tooth sacrifices, a horse has hundreds of catties of meat, even if more than two million people came to share it, one person could share a lot.
Of course, the cleaning of the battlefield is not only these, some saddles, iron tools, and all valuable things on the Tubo sergeants must be cleaned up, this victory belongs to all the people, and the spoils and benefits should also be enjoyed by everyone.
The clean and slippery Tubo soldiers who were scraped will be temporarily dispersed by Fang Xuanling and assigned to open mines mined by several major government governments, and the senior generals will be temporarily detained in prisons, in fact, according to the civil system of the Tang Dynasty, prisoners of war are all third-class citizens, and after that, Li Shimin may reward some of them to meritorious ministers.
Sun Xiangfu was too lazy to watch everyone busy at the scene, he had some other understandings for this 'Battle of Yanpingmen' that may be recorded in history, and he needed to go back and be quiet and think about it.
When he went down the city wall, he saw Yan Liben's huge easel, this guy, since the beginning of the war, has been painting, for several hours, but he has drawn the whole scene down seven or eight times out of ten.
Seeing Sun Xiangfu coming over, Yan Liben hurriedly put away his pen and said, "Does Sun Dudu have a poem to mention?" ”
"No, no, it would be nice if you drew the difference between the costumes of these ethnic minorities who participated in the war······
Sun Xiangfu waved his hand, prompted, and turned to leave, his suggestion, but made Yan Liben's eyes shine, this time to participate in the war, but there are many ethnic minorities from all over the country who have newly moved over the people, if they are allowed to stand out on this painting, then this is a painting of national unity, fighting together, and its political significance will be higher.
For this kind of one-sided slaughter-style battle, Sun Xiangfu feels that there is nothing to praise, the key is that Sun Xiangfu did not treat these Tubo people as foreigners, when he remembered it, the Tubo Plateau has always been an inseparable inherent territory of our country.
After finishing business, it is very important to go home to accompany the children, and their babbling and smiling faces can make Sun Xiangfu forget those bloody pictures on the battlefield.
Hongmei lost to Chun Tao, although she gave birth to a child a few days earlier, but she gave birth to a daughter, so the title of Duke of Shanyang County was given to the child born to Chun Tao, Sun Feng, the name means a bumper harvest.
Because of the title problem, Hongmei was unhappy for a while, and it wasn't until Sun Xiangfu came back that she spoiled her baby daughter Sun Wanyu and didn't want it, and she felt better.
Not to mention, among the four children, the one who looks most similar to Sun Xiangfu is the second daughter Sun Wanyu, who is more than two months old, and her eyebrows, eyes and head have grown round, as if they are carved out of Sun Xiangfu's mold.
The eldest Sun Jing and the eldest daughter Sun Wanting, who are more than a year old, can already walk uphill, always run unconsciously, and are easy to fall down when they run fast, and they like to imitate adults to speak, however, the longer sentences are not clear, some short words, the words are quite clear, there is no logic, I like to be sticky, and I always have to grasp something in my hand.
As soon as Sun Xiangfu returned to the house, he played with them in his own fun hall, so he couldn't hurry up and accompany them! The war is still going on in the east! After the matter of Chang'an is settled, he has to return to Shanyang again.
"Husband, it was earlier than the concubine who came back, and the queen mother was still looking for you in the imperial city just now!"
After Yu Xiu'er returned home, she glanced at the two little ones who were sleeping in the stroller, and walked to Sun Xiangfu, who was playing with the two big guys.
"Why, do you want to be rewarded for meritorious deeds? Then give my Wanyu girl a title of county lord or something. ”
When Sun Xiangfu said this, Hongmei, who was shaking the stroller, suddenly had a happy face, and looked at Yu Xiu'er with great anticipation.
Yu Xiu'er shook her head with a smile and said, "For such a reward, Your Majesty has to come in person, Niang Niang just wants to ask you how to deal with the affairs in Yunnan." ”
"If you should fight, keep fighting! We have to be convinced before we can implement our policy, but the imperial court still has to send a letter to General Chai, and Wang Hao must take it, this person is too dangerous. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Xiu'er thought of Zhang Ruyan again, since she handed over the letter to Yu Xiu'er, she was taken by the secret guard for questioning, and now she has been locked in a cell in the palace, and now, the matter on the letter has been verified, and the eldest grandson queen mentioned it to Yu Xiu'er, although this person is somewhat implicated in Zhang Cheng's rebellion, but he can hand over the letter in time, it can be seen that people are not bad.
"That, sister of the Zhang family, what to do?"
"This has nothing to do with her, let it go! However, before Wang Hao was ambushed, he had to be placed under residential surveillance, and maybe Zhang Cheng could be caught. ”
"Husband, don't you have any other ideas?"
"Something else? Should I have any ideas? Oh yes, this is the girl that Cheng Chumo has a crush on, and he begged me to ask you to help recruit her into the art troupe. ”
"Hah!"
When Yu Xiu'er heard this, her face was disappointed, it turned out that she had misunderstood.
Seeing Yu Xiu'er's face, Sun Xiangfu knew that she was probably planning to take a concubine for herself again, but it reminded him of the previous Zilan incident, and asked, "Zhang Ke has done a lot of his best to follow me before and after the saddle over the years, he now has the status of a military attache of the captain of Zhiguo, Zilan girl marries him as a wife, no loss, if she agrees, you can arrange for their marriage to be done!"
By the way, there are also those veterans of the escort team, this time, they have made great contributions to Goguryeo, and His Majesty will definitely have a heavy reward when they look back, and they are not short of money, you have a wide network in this regard, just help them arrange all the family affairs, they have given our family a few years of death, but you can't treat them badly. ”
"This, the concubine will do it when she turns back, they are out of our Sun Mansion, I am afraid that there are many official women who are willing to marry them! It's you, husband, who is a dignified and state-honored person, and there is only one wife and two concubines in the family, some of them are too unreasonable, and now, the concubine is the highest-ranking female official in the Tang Dynasty, if she is scolded as a jealous woman······"
As soon as Yu Xiu'er talked about this problem, Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to stretch out his hand to interrupt him, Datang, among the nobles at the level of Guogong, there is only one wife for Fang Xuanling, and the rest, the double-digit people on the concubine, basically account for the majority, Sun Xiangfu is so young and strong, and only accepts the two dowry maids of the main wife as concubines, which is rare.
"Uh, that, Xiu'er! Can't because of your face problem, I have to take a few more concubines as a husband! Shouldn't people be based on feelings······
With abundant food and clothing, the country and the people are safe, everyone will think about how to have more children, which is a common problem of ancient people, and Yu Xiuer has not been exempt from vulgarity.
Therefore, the topic finally shifted from concubinage to fertility.
There are only two men in the Sun family, and because Sun Deshou wants to be a concubine, it is impossible to help the Sun family spread out and breed as many people.
Since he is unwilling to take a concubine, then to strengthen the family, he can only have more children with the existing wife and two concubines, and the parting is imminent, and the task of giving birth to a child must be completed quickly, so Sun Xiangfu wants to call someone to help him buy all kinds of whips on the street, not the whip of firecrackers!
Before leaving, Sun Xiangfu convened a meeting of all the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, and arranged in advance the matter of next year's spring ploughing, because now Guanzhong has more people to feed, and it is estimated that the war will not end next year, and Goguryeo may need a large amount of grain output, so in terms of crops, it is still mainly to grow grain.
Anyway, this year's excellent wheat seeds have been left, next year, the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture only need to arrange cultivation in accordance with this year's plan, after all, the entire step of planting wheat, the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture have a detailed record, as well as the skilled farmers of Xingfu Village to lay the foundation, the people of Guanzhong, can not only rely on the help of the army, after all, the intensive cultivation here has been implemented for several years, with the help of a large number of useful agricultural tools, they themselves, but also almost master and adapt to this slightly more complex farming technology.
Ten days later, Sun Xiangfu returned to Shanyang again, and during this period, Li Shimin's mood was up and down.
The news that Chang'an was raided by more than 200,000 Tibetan cavalry almost made him spurt blood for the second time, but the results of the later battle almost made him jump into the sky with joy.
Tubo, the most difficult enemy in the Tang Dynasty, was crippled by the First World War, and the price paid was almost negligible, without the 200,000 young and strong population, he was a little worried about the women on the plateau.
And Wang Lin's behavior, Wang Hao's series of plans were revealed, which can be regarded as touching Li Shimin's scales, so the entire Taiyuan Wang clan needs to bear his anger, and now, Wang Rui, who has just died of his eldest son, is worrying about how to solve the complicated situation faced by the Wang family.
Therefore, as soon as Sun Xiangfu returned to Shanyang, he was visited by him again and again, but he slowly negotiated a lot of things.
The whole October was victorious, and when the time entered November, the good news of the Datang Quartet also began to come.
The first to arrive was the war report of the Western Turks, Yi Bi Boluo successfully killed Mohedo, and was successfully led by Cheng Yanjin, the multinational coalition led by the Tang Army was killed, if you want to say why these small countries support the Tang Dynasty, it is because the Tang Dynasty controls here, unlike the Western Turks who control here, only know exploitation, the Tang Dynasty will help develop the local people's livelihood economy, and the taxes collected will be very low.
In this battle, the Tang army captured more than 70,000 people of the Yibi Boluo tribe, collected the small tribes of the Western Turks who surrendered, more than 30 of them, with a total population of more than 200,000 people, millions of cattle and sheep, and actually occupied more than 10 large and small cities in the city of Broken Leaves and the surrounding thousands of miles. Abolish the state system of these small countries, set up prefectures, prefectures and counties, and control the entire western part more closely in the hands of the imperial court.
As for Li Ji, who took Fu Yun, and the good news that Niu Jinda, who had forced the coalition forces of the party departments to no way to escape, and finally captured all of them, it was first transmitted to Chang'an, I am afraid, now they have escorted more than 100,000 prisoners to Guanzhong, but before Li Shimin's Eastern Crusade ended, they invited several important figures of the surrounding forces to Chang'an for prison food.
