Chapter 402: The Tiger is out of the cage
In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the whole country of Datang had a bumper harvest, because the people planted vegetables diversely, plus the castrated pigs and sheep, grew faster and bigger, the people's lives were rich, and the food consumption was reduced, so in the past two years, the government has been building new granaries to load the harvested grain.
With more grain and more money in his hands, Li Shimin issued an order and began to further readjust and develop the whole country.
Otherwise, if the people in the remote mountainous areas live in the mountains, it will be inconvenient to manage and they will not be able to collect much tax revenue, because they do not have them, so it is the right way to move them out.
Because of the preferential treatment of the imperial court to the people, to the soldiers, and to all the Tang people, the people in those mountains easily accepted the relocation.
After all, the imperial court has subsidies, and it is to replace more fertile land, and no one is unwilling.
…………
In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Liu Renliang, the general of the navy, drove the latest warship to sea, this time the five big ships, using steel keel, hull, 100 meters long, full load of 5,000 people, can sail for a month without supplies.
Using sails, wheels, and two types of power, the main target of this expedition was the Great Qin (Rome) in the west.
In the same year, Niu Jinda father and son led an army of 100,000 plateaus that had been trained for several years to kill the Tubo Plateau.
I can't stand the constant arrest of the Qin Palace, and the Huns have fled thousands of miles away to plague the ghost party, Rakshasa and other tribes.
The Qin Wangfu sent out the three generals of the white clothes, Meng Quan, and Li Yi, led 100,000 Great Qin iron cavalry, 100,000 Great Qin crossbowmen, and cooperated with Li Jing's 500,000 army to launch a war against the Eastern Turks.
After several years of development, the 500,000-strong army of the Tang Dynasty is well-equipped and more powerful than the previous million-strong army.
The Khitan people were Situ Changfeng's loyal fighters and guarded Liaodong for him, and Situ Changfeng appeared in the land of Tianzhu at this time with 50,000 Tang Dynasty foot cavalry and 200,000 soldiers from the four counties of Liaodong.
At the same time, 20,000 elites from Nanyang, 100,000 Tu people, 20,000 elites from Lingnan, 50,000 sultry people, and slang people were dispatched at the same time.
The Sun family led the team by Sun Nan'an, Sun Xiaohu, and Feng An, the head of the Feng family, is particularly powerful, he has more than fifty children, this time it is his eldest son Feng Zhidai and nine younger sons.
The Feng family earns a lot of canned lychees, dried bananas, and sugarcane every year, so this time they knew that Situ Changfeng was on the expedition, and immediately reported to Li Shimin, and then came to hug his thighs.
Because in the past two years, with a combination of soft methods and a thunderous blow, the four kingdoms of Wajima were destroyed, and the remaining Ezo people have become the same thugs as the Khitans.
In the four countries of Wajima, three million young and strong, all of them have been reduced to coolies, and now all the engineering projects of Datang have been taken care of by slaves.
Therefore, Li Shimin permanently abolished the labor of the people of the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Shimin's prestige reach an unprecedented height.
If anyone wants to rebel now, they will definitely have their heads taken by their subordinates before they have raised an army.
As never before, the people were no longer serving, which was not only happy for the people, but also sang praises from all over the court.
Far surpassing the exploits of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Li Shimin was simply overjoyed, which is why he agreed to Situ Changfeng's expedition to Tianzhu, which was thousands of miles away.
Because Situ Changfeng introduced that it was the birthplace of the hard-working, docile and hard-working Kunlun slaves, thinking that there could be millions of Kunlun slaves, Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little impatient.
"According to the information received, now in this land, the ruler is called the Hou Gupta Dynasty, but the Gupta royal family has no control over the outside, which can be said to be more chaotic than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States." In a hall, Situ Changfeng took out a map and introduced.
"Wouldn't it be easy to knock it down?" Sun Xiaohu asked excitedly.
Listening to Situ Changfeng, everyone else had almost the same idea, but they were not as familiar with Situ Changfeng as Sun Xiaohu, so they didn't ask, but they also looked at it with expectation.
"That's right, just like this county, their defenses are very weak, and there are some castles, built of stone, which are difficult to attack. However, it should be noted that there is a newly built kingdom in the north, which should not be underestimated, and if it is right, do not take it lightly and cause losses to the army. Situ Changfeng nodded and admonished.
"How do you fight, Brother Yihu, right?" Sun Xiaohu couldn't wait to ask.
"The Tianzhu people are divided into four classes, and their status is divided into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras from high to low.
Brahmins enjoyed supreme status, mainly monks and royalty, great nobles, Kshatriyas for minor nobles, generals, etc., Vaishyas mainly for merchants, craftsmen, and Shudras for captives, criminals, poor people, ............. Situ Changfeng explained the situation of Tianzhu to them carefully.
"I'll go! They did this, and no people rebelled! Hearing those privileges of the Brahmins, such as the right to the first night, Sun Xiaohu and the others couldn't help but say in surprise.
You must know that in the Central Plains, thousands of years ago, no one dared to do this, even Li Shimin did this, and people were looking for him every minute to fight hard.
"Therefore, Brahmins and Kshatriyas, all of them will be slaved and will never be able to turn over, and we must erect the banner of liberating the Vaishyas and Shudras, and spread the benefits of the Tang Dynasty among the common people." Situ Changfeng said as he took out a castrated version of the Tang Dynasty people's system and handed it to Sun Xiaohu and Feng Zhidai.
The population of Tianzhu was originally used for farming, of course, it was impossible for them to immediately enjoy the treatment of the original people of the Tang Dynasty.
In this way, it can also reflect the distinction between advantages and benefits, so that those who join Datang first can have a sense of identity, superiority, and strengthen the heart of belonging.
As for whether other people can understand it, Situ Changfeng doesn't care, and he doesn't have the energy and obligation to explain it to everyone, unless it's someone close to him, just follow his plan anyway.
"Understood! Be sure to do it according to the general's instructions. After reading it, Feng Zhidai arched his hand and said.
"The craftsman should be given preferential treatment, and he must tell those tribal soldiers not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and all the harvest will be handed over uniformly, and then the court will be divided into three, the soldiers will be divided into three, the generals will take two percent, and the remaining two percent will be rewarded as the excellent." Situ Changfeng emphasized again.
"Whoa!" For Situ Changfeng's arrangement, everyone has no opinion, and now people with a little vision know that the most important thing is manpower, mineral deposits, people, and nobles' collections, but it is nothing.
"Hehe, don't underestimate Tianzhu, those temples built by monks don't have too many gold and gems." Situ Changfeng said with a smile.
"Well, in the past of Nanzhao, so are small countries such as the country of Bi, and the last time I brought back the pure gold Buddha statues for His Majesty, there were dozens." Sun Xiaohu nodded his head like a chicken eating rice in agreement.
