Chapter 736: Desperate Scheme
Fang Niu, who was far away in the Nanzhao Kingdom, was landing in the port at this moment, and Pigro, the king of Nanzhao, personally greeted him on the dock.
Looking at the dense crowd of people, Pigro's eyes were full of haze, Nanzhao, also known as Mengshe Zhao, was one of the six edicts, and now his country's military strength was only tens of thousands, but the Tang envoy brought an army of 10,000 people, what did he want to do?
Despite the gloom in his heart, Piguero greeted him with a smile and said, "The envoy has come from afar, and Xiao Wang has missed the welcome." Please forgive me, forgive me! ”
Pigelow's Tang official words are very slippery, and you are embarrassed to be the king of a country if you don't speak Tang official words these days.
"Where, where, the king is serious. This official has come to clean up a lot by order, and I have to ask the king to take care of it! Fang Niu said heartily, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, after all these years of training, he was no longer a frizzy young man.
"The envoy really has the wind of a big country, and there are so many guards with him, like me and other small countries and widows, and there are only 30,000 people with armor in the whole country."
Pigero seemed to be respectful, but he was actually tempting, he wanted to know Fang Niu's intentions, so many people appeared in his house, he couldn't rest assured.
"Where is this official entourage, these are my warriors of the Tang Dynasty. King Nanzhao received the order~"
Fang Niu said with a smile, but took out a holy decree from his cuffs, and Pigro was stunned for a moment but still knelt on the ground to greet the holy decree.
"The emperor said that I heard that bandits came out on the ocean today, disrupting the trade between the countries and the Tang Dynasty, and the pirates at sea were always in trouble, and the Yangzhou Navy was located far away and could not gallop. Although the garrison of Nanzhao Harbor was careful but insufficient, I was very anxious, so I sent 10,000 warriors from Fusang to Nanzhao Harbor to calm the chaos at sea. The Qing family is the lord of Nanzhao, and he must assist in quelling the chaos so that Fang Niu will kill the chaos. Everything is done cheaply. ”
Fang Niu said and handed the holy decree to Pigelow, who respectfully accepted the holy decree, but felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
"My lord, this king is here by order, and the will of the saint must not be disobeyed, and I will ask the king to help me a lot in the future."
Fang Niu said with a smile, Pigero finally knew what the problem was at this moment. He is a good vassal country, but Emperor Tang gave him such a will, he simply regarded him as a courtier, and he was a courtier who was even lower than Fang Niu, but he hated that he was stupid enough to accept the will.
Thinking of this, he said with a dark face, "The envoy is serious, the kingdom is busy with affairs, and I am afraid that there is no time to help with the affairs of the harbor, so the envoy can make his own decisions." Of course, if there is something involving the border of my Nanzhao, this king can give some help. ”
Hearing Pigelow's blunt words, Fang Niupi said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the king is wrong, not to help, the will of the saint is that all matters are decided by the official, if you need the king's help, the official will send someone to pass on the word to the king." ”
Pigelow's face changed, and when he saw that none of the courtiers around him made a sound, he could only clench his fists tightly and squeeze out a smile and said, "Then the king will wait for good news, and the Holy Son of Heaven will edict that the little king should obey it." Here, please, the king has prepared a banquet and invites the envoy to be sure to come with a face. ”
Fang Niu hugged his fists and thanked him, but he didn't go first, and after the two of them repeatedly excused themselves, they walked forward hand in hand, a good scene of harmony.
After three rounds of drinking, Fang Niu stuck the meat dagger on the table, which startled everyone.
Fang Niu proposed that the harbor was too small, and hoped that Nanzhao would lend the beans fifty miles around the harbor to Datang.
Pigeero's heart was gloomy and almost black, but he made a heroic appearance on his face, and lent the land to Fang Niu with a wave of his big hand.
The two sides immediately signed a new paperwork, and it was pitiful that such a large piece of land was lent out, but the rent did not increase by half a penny, which made Pigeero resentful, but helpless.
After the banquet was over, Piguero personally sent Fang Niu to the palace gate and watched him leave. It is said that it is a royal palace, and this scale is better than knowing that the Houfu is magnificent.
After returning to the dormitory, Pigro threw more than a dozen pieces of fine porcelain in one go.
There is a way that the comer is not good, and in his small country, except for the position under his ass and this land, there is nothing worthy of coveting by the Tang Dynasty.
But this Datang treats him as a soft persimmon, isn't he afraid of biting a stone and breaking his teeth?
Immediately, he summoned his henchmen and eunuchs to arrange for people to keep an eye on the movement of the harbor day and night.
After Fang Niu returned to the harbor, his henchman asked puzzledly, "General, in such a small country, we have 10,000 brothers, and we can kill him three times in and three out in less than half a month, why do you still want to talk to the king of Nanzhao and the snake?" ”
"You know what? What the prince wants is not only this land, but also the loyalty of all the people in this land, and the order will be passed down, and anyone who does not disturb the people will be beheaded. ”
Fang Niu scolded, and his henchman hurriedly replied that he had already been instructed repeatedly. Then he asked, "The general just asked King Nanzhao to sign the document obediently with a dagger, why didn't he take the opportunity to propose an increase of 20,000 troops, this kind of thing is more acceptable to say earlier." ”
Fang Niu pondered for a moment and said, "Of the 20,000 soldiers, General Ben decided not to recruit from Lingnan, but from Nanzhao. ”
"In Nanzhao?"
His henchman said in surprise, Fang Niu nodded and said firmly, "General Ben thinks twice, if the imperial court wants to subdue the people's hearts instead of killing them like Fusang, then it needs to treat the local people in a different way." Most of the people here are poor, as long as we give money and food, they will be given official positions after making meritorious contributions, so why worry that they will not be towards us? ”
Fang Niu's eyes lit up as he spoke, this thought lingered in his mind after it surfaced, and more thoughts kept pouring out at this moment.
"Think about it, if you recruit 20,000 soldiers, then there are 20,000 households that rely on me Datang, if these 20,000 households are farming for us, and we assist other people in business, as long as they taste the sweetness, how can these people be willing to go back to farming? How many people will be attached to us? Coupled with those officials who are already loyal to His Majesty, this Nanzhao Kingdom is the Nanzhao Dao of my Tang Dynasty. ”
"General, the lower officials think that they can also encourage the soldiers to marry the women of this place, and then transfer some scholars from the army to let them open a school in the local area, if the people are all proud of the Four Books and Five Classics and Confucian culture, then even if they are not included in my Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that they will not agree."
Such a desperate plan also appeared in the henchman's mind, Fang Niu immediately high-fived and shouted, if this is the case, it will not be many years before the Nanzhao people will regard themselves as the people of the Tang Dynasty.
"Go and call all the generals above the commander of the army, and the matters need to be implemented as soon as possible, if you can fight without blood, it will be the time when you and I will go down in history."
Fang Niu said excitedly, his eldest brother slaughtered a country and became the leader among the people, if he can calculate a country, the two brothers will definitely become a good story for the ages.
