When Li Shimin received the detailed report of Sun Xiangfu Xuanfu Tubo in Broken Leaf City, he was almost stunned.

Set up a reward system to promote the rapid sinicization of the local people, that is, his brain can think of it, with him to straighten out all the things in Tibet, then after Li Ji passed, it will be much easier, and he only needs to train with peace of mind and strengthen local infrastructure.

In July, the kings of the three kingdoms of Oghus, Jansa, and Bolu arrived in Broken Leaf City and officially applied to the Tang Dynasty to merge into the Tang Dynasty as a whole.

Li Shimin sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to conduct a pretended assessment, and in August, officially declared the territory of the three kingdoms to be the inherent territory of the Tang Dynasty, and all the people under its banner were included in the Datang household registration.

The land of these three kingdoms is not small, enough to be as big as the three provinces of the Central Plains in later generations, and after the incorporation, it added nearly four million people to the Tang Dynasty, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty extended to the west to the coast of the Caspian Sea, and to the south, it is fully bordered by Tianzhu.

This action made the eyes of the entire Western world look at Datang.

Some people are worried about it, while others are happy about it.

Naturally, they are worried that the Tang Dynasty will eventually affect their rule, and they are naturally happy that the small kingdoms that still exist in this region.

Because, the conditions given by the Tang Dynasty for the subjugation and annexation of the kingdom are too generous, roads, cities, houses, that is to say, all government institutions, hospitals, schools, will be quickly established, and even the taxes that should have been paid in the current year are all exempted, and the kings of the three kingdoms have all been awarded the title of duke, and a high-ranking official in the country also has a title reward, and, some, will also be appointed to the actual position.

However, whether it is a happy person or a sad person, they dare not express any different opinions on Datang's decision, and any decision made by Datang now, they can only accept it, and people have set such strict surrender conditions, or there is a kingdom that strives to meet the standards and choose to surrender and merge, what can you do?

Of course, now in the entire Eurasian continent, there are those who have the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty, and there are also those who have the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty, and the Byzantine Empire and the Great Food Empire are not weaker than the Tang Dynasty in terms of the number of troops and population base.

It's a pity that Da Shi is like a dog in the Tang Dynasty, staring at the Byzantine Empire to bite, and at the same time constantly weakening the strength of Persia, when the Tang Dynasty absorbed the three kingdoms, the battle line of Da Shi moved forward again, arrived at the Mediterranean coast, officially bordering the Byzantine Empire, there is no buffer between the two empires, and the big war is about to inevitably begin.

This war must be a protracted war of attrition, and when the old empire faced the nomads, it was the same as the previous confrontation between the Central Plains Dynasty and the northern Xiongnu and the Turks, not one or two battles, which could knock the other side down.

The established strategy of the Tang Dynasty was not to participate in their struggle, and even to intensify their pace of foreign conquest by constantly buying slaves from the Great Cannibals.

Although the largest battlefield was between Dashi and Byzantium, the consequences of the war were constantly reflected in the two empires of Persia and Tianzhu, and Tianzhu Persia was the next target after the Tang Dynasty was incorporated into many small countries.

Sun Xiangfu, who is responsible for farming and production, doesn't need to worry about these strategic things, he just needs to take his wife and children to play and farm in Datang.

In five years, after he came down from the Tubo Plateau, he did a lot of practical things on various state roads in the Central Plains, or two or three months, or half a year, and went to the overseas Tanmo Road, Australia, Wazhou and other places to walk around, and then, he went ashore from Liaodong to Xue Yantuo, presided over the funeral of Yi Nan, divided all the territory of Xue Yantuo into states and counties, and established a relatively complete management system.

The agricultural production of the entire Tang Dynasty, under his continuous planning and transformation, has reached a new level, intensive cultivation, covering almost all state roads in the Central Plains, and even the four ethnic minority areas have also entered the era of semi-intensive cultivation.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Yu Shinan passed away, and Sun Xiangfu, who was in Xue Yantuo's Xuanfu place, received this letter in Ulaanbaatar, and his heart seemed to be relieved, and he began to set off for Chang'an.

This old man lived four years longer than in history, and during this period, those who can live to be eighty-five years old definitely belong to Renrui, and even the mourning posts are red, because this is a happy mourning.

And the reason why he felt relieved was because he knew that the old man had lived a very hard life, and five years ago, when he went out, he had to walk away with two people, and he only insisted on teaching at Jiangling School for one year, and then he returned to Chang'an to recuperate in bed.

In the past two years, it is estimated that the consciousness is sometimes sober, relying on wild ginseng to hang a breath, eating and drinking, relying on people to feed liquid food, Lazar, is there, it flows out by itself, and like the seriously ill patients in later generations, living is to suffer.

Li Shimin also returned to Chang'an at the beginning of the year, because Li Yuan was about to die, in fact, in recent years, there have often been news of the death of ministers in Chang'an.

Zhang Gongjin, Wen Yanbo, Du Ruhui, Liu Zhenghui, Chai Shao, etc., died one after another, and Qin Qiong, who often had to rely on blood transfusions to maintain her life in Shanyang, was almost at the end of her life.

When Sun Xiangfu passed by Shanyang, Qin Qiong couldn't speak, and his eyes just kept looking at his son Qin Huaidao, who had been with Sun Xiangfu for five years.

Sun Simiao was next to the hospital bed and handed a note to Sun Xiangfu, which was vaguely said after Qin Qiong's blood transfusion a few days ago, and was recorded by the medical staff.

It reads, 'I'm tired, if Zhengming and Huaidao come, let them take me back to Chang'an to see.' ’

Seeing this note, Sun Xiangfu's tears slipped down from his eyes, and the invincible general who once galloped on the battlefield finally decided to give up his life.

This is his last wish, while his eyes can still see, and there is still a chance to realize it, Sun Xiangfu decided to satisfy him.

"Does the actual situation allow?" Sun Xiangfu wiped away his tears, put away the note, and asked Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao replied, "The liquid food made of wild ginseng soup is fed on time, and if there are no big bumps, it will be no problem to hold on for a while, but even if it lasts to Chang'an, I'm afraid, it will be very difficult for this month." ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was silent, five days have passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is to say, even if the situation is good, Qin Qiong can last about ten days at most.

There are many places to see in Chang'an, and time is urgent, Sun Xiangfu left Qin Huaidao to help Qin Qiong dress in the ward, and immediately began to arrange a car with wide rubber tires to come over, and at the same time, he also troubled Sun Simiao to make some deployments, and brought several medical staff who were usually responsible for taking care of Qin Qiong with him.

Qin Qiong still had the sense of hearing, knowing that she had been carried into the carriage and was going back to Chang'an, a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes.

Along the way, the windows of the carriage were open, and lying on the comfortable bed in the carriage, Qin Qiong could see the scenery along the way, after two or three rounds of renovation, there were many eaves higher than the city wall.

Taiyuan City, Li Tang's Longxing Land, has also been renovated, and the flat fields and neat houses along the way are all scenery that Qin Qiong likes to see.

Because the car can't be bumpy, you have to rest at night, and this road is relatively slow, six or seven days, before entering Guanzhong.

Here, Qin Qiong saw a lot of exquisite buildings with tiles on the exterior walls, now, these houses are just ordinary houses, and the closer they are to Chang'an, the more such buildings, and when they reach the boundary of Lantian County outside the city, they are neatly arranged in rows, obviously they are villages and towns, but they make people feel like they are in a prosperous city, and they are not beautiful.

Sun Xiangfu was afraid that he would be bored, and he had been telling him about what had happened in Datang over the years, three years ago, the first steamship began to be launched for testing, but it didn't run long, and then it was driven back to the shipyard for transformation, and then, every few months, it would be re-launched, and it was driven back to transform, and it was becoming more and more advanced in continuous repairs and transformations.

This year, the shipyard's first batch of mass-produced steam-powered ships was finally launched, and at the same time, steam-powered vehicles have also entered the trial stage, as for the steam generator, various application tests have begun a year ago, and the simplest lighting function has been used in the palace, of course, it is only the main palace of Daming Palace.

For the time being, it can't be popularized, the operating cost is still a bit high, and things like rubber copper wire, with the current output, it is impossible to pave everywhere.

At present, there are at least hundreds of teams in Weinan to carry out research on hundreds of different projects, even the design of rails and trains has completed theoretical tests and entered the actual construction stage.

Of course, the most talked about is the political issue, Li Chengqian's Khazar Khanate and the Ozgu Kingdom's plan for the Byzantine Empire was basically successful, and the three-year two-front war made the Byzantine Empire more and more difficult, and the money owed to the Tang Dynasty was also increasing, and it was about to embark on the road of the Persian Sassanid Dynasty.

It was a dynasty that mortgaged the royal city of its own country to the Tang Dynasty, and actually existed in name only.

In a year or two at most, together with the Tianzhu Dynasty, which was also weak as him, the whole merger into the Tang Dynasty was already the only path they could choose.

At that time, the entire Eurasian continent will form a three-power situation, and in the next five years, Li Shimin is confident that there will be only one empire in the entire Eurasian continent, and that is the Tang Empire.

"Yigong, Chang'an City has arrived, Your Majesty and the Prince, you have come out of the city to pick us up, speaking of which, I committed suicide Wang Haoqi, and I haven't returned to Chang'an for ten years! I really don't know what has become of it now. ”

After Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, he gestured to Qin Huaidao's eyes, and then, one left and one right, lifted Qin Qiong, who weighed less than 100 catties, into a wheelchair, and carried him out of the carriage together with the wheelchair.

Chang'an City is still majestic and tall, the autumn sun shines on the red glazed tiles of the city tower, and half of the sky is red, Qin Qiong saw Li Shimin, who looked at him with sad eyes and walked over quickly.

He is still as majestic and burly as he was back then, but there are a few more silver strands in his hair, but unfortunately, he can't accompany him anymore, and he can't even salute or say a greeting, and now, he can only watch Li Shimin holding his hand blankly, and tearfully saying that he can't hear clearly.

Inexplicably, he really wanted to go up to the city tower, wanted to see the current appearance of Chang'an City, from his eyes that kept looking at the city wall, Sun Xiangfu understood what he meant, and Qin Huaidao pushed him and walked towards the slope where the defensive artillery carriage was transported, when the bright sun in the sky turned into a sunset, he opened his mouth with a smile, as if he spit out a word.

It was a 'good' word that came out in a faint breath, maybe it was this breath that consumed all the strength of his body, and after he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes.
