Chapter 192: Liaodong Chaos
This kind of story happens in many places, so that the sons of poor people can also have books to read, and they can also have the opportunity to become a scholar like the children of rich and noble families, which is what many poor people dream of.
In this way, the emperor Li Zhonghua has become incomparably great in the hearts of the common people, and every common person supports and respects this emperor from the bottom of their hearts.
When Li Zhonghua went on patrol, the people along the way, everyone shouted from the bottom of their hearts, Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live.
Since Li Zhonghua ascended the throne and became emperor, although he has experienced a series of rebellions, there has been some turmoil in the society, and the common people in many places have also paid huge sacrifices.
But the rebellion did not last long, that is, three or four years before it was quickly put down.
After the rebellion was quelled, earth-shaking changes were taking place everywhere in Datang, and some of the people affected by such a war were also relieved by the imperial court, and the lives of the people could be said to be getting better and better.
The treasury is rich, the country is rich, driven by the China Ocean Trading Company, many businessmen have looked at maritime trade, shipwhen, after ship of goods go to sea, from overseas in exchange for a large number of materials needed by the Tang Dynasty, as well as real gold and silver.
To do foreign trade business, of course, the imperial court has to levy import and export tariffs on them, and because the profits are really huge, the tariffs imposed are quite heavy.
However, the exact amount of tax charged depends on what goods the merchants bring back from overseas.
What spices, coral, amber agate, pearls and gold jewelry and other luxury goods, that must be heavily taxed, if it is food and other materials needed for the people's life, it must be very low tariffs, and even tax exemption is possible.
When Li Zhonghua put down the rebellion, he vigorously developed the economy of the Tang Dynasty, but the border was not very peaceful, some countries that had submitted to the Tang Dynasty, seeing the civil strife in the Central Plains, Li Zhonghua, the emperor, did not seem to be very right, so they began to have different intentions.
Not only that, but even some tribes that once took the initiative to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty also began to be uneasy with the status quo, such as the Yan tribe on the Heilongjiang River, after seeing the emptiness of Liaodong, they started the idea of Liaodong.
After the emptiness of Liaodong, not only the people of Liaodong were greedy, but they were ready to get the Liaodong region, and the neighboring Khitan tribe, Xi people, Turkic, Rouran and other departments all coveted the fertile land of Liaodong.
Although the Goguryeo Kingdom was about to fall, the Tang Dynasty had to stop its conquest of Goguryeo and withdraw from the Korean Peninsula due to the turmoil of the Tang Dynasty and the rebellion that followed.
But how could it be possible for Silla to give up such an excellent opportunity, Goguryeo was strong in the past, and Silla was only bullied, but now Goguryeo has been crippled by the Tang Dynasty, and the population has plummeted a lot, almost to the point of existing, how can it be Silla's opponent.
After a few years of recuperation, Silla's national strength has been greatly enhanced, so it is really not easy to clean up a crippled Goguryeo.
Although Goguryeo perished, the people of Goguryeo would not all die, although some of them became the people of Silla and became the common people of Silla.
But there are still a large number of people who are unwilling to submit to Silla because they hate Silla and because they are unwilling to commit treason.
The Ya tribe is divided into seven tribes, and only two of these seven tribes are related to Goguryeo, namely the Sumo Ya and the Baishan Ya.
In the late 5th century, the Sumo Gang had just migrated from the north to the Sumo Water Valley, and gradually clashed with the Goguryeo regime over land.
In the early period of the Sui Dynasty, the Sumo Jin Dynasty was gradually at a disadvantage in the war with Goguryeo, and the eight Sumo tribes fled to the west of the Liao River under the leadership of the leader Tudiji, and the Sui Dynasty specially set up Liaoxi County in order to settle them. And the Baishan indigo is "attached to Goguryeo".
When Goguryeo was strong, it was attached to Goguryeo for a long time, and now Goguryeo is extinct.
Although Li Zhonghua received a military report from Xue Rengui, the political situation within the Tang Dynasty was unstable at this time, and rebellions broke out everywhere.
Therefore, Li Zhonghua could only order Xue Rengui to give up most of the place, hold Liaodong, and hold Jinzhou.
Seeing that Sushui was gaining power, the Khitan and Xi tribes were not lonely, and joined the team fighting for Liaodong, and they also protected Liaodong under the banner of the Tang Dynasty.
The Western Turks saw that Liaodong was in chaos, and the Tang Dynasty couldn't take care of it at all, so it was a joy, how could they be polite at this time, so they also joined in.
Liaodong is such a big piece of fat, who doesn't like it, the Tang Dynasty has withdrawn its troops, it is equivalent to a piece of borderless land, who is not red-eyed, who can still sit still, it must be robbed.
When Li Zhonghua sent troops from Liaodong, he had already made mental preparations, knowing that Liaodong would definitely be in chaos.
Therefore, although he ordered Xue Rengui to shrink the defensive line, he also asked Xue Rengui to gather the people as much as possible and move the people to Jinzhou.
In this era, population is the greatest wealth, as long as there are people, there is no place to worry.
The Golden State is not short of money or food, and some of them are jobs, but the most lacking thing is people, labor.
Although Li Zhonghua did not want to give up Liaodong City, if it was impossible to disobey it, he would rather give up Liaodong City and keep Jinzhou, if Jinzhou was lost, the loss would be incalculable.
Although Li Zhonghua saw the melee in Liaodong and lost most of Liaodong, Li Zhonghua was not in a hurry at all, because this situation would happen sooner or later and could not be avoided.
Liaodong is an important place in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Tatar people, there are also Goguryeo people, Khitan people, Xi people, Turkic people, etc., ethnic problems are prominent, and turmoil is inevitable.
It would be strange if there had been no turmoil at this time.
Whether it is the Khitan people or the Xi people, they are all dependent on the strong and survive.
If the Tang Dynasty is strong, they will attach the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks are strong, they are not attached to the Turks, and in turn they are enemies of the Tang Dynasty.
If Goguryeo was strong, they would also choose to attach themselves to Goguryeo.
If whoever wins in this scuffle is likewise attached to the winner.
The reason why Li Zhonghua is not in a hurry is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let these restless steps weaken their respective strengths in fighting each other, and then send troops to clean up the mess.
But what Li Zhonghua never expected was that Da Zuorong, the son of Da Qixiang, the leader of the Sumo Shuijing tribe, was a very troubled figure, and he quickly stood out in this melee and won victory after victory.
Da Zuorong led the brave and warlike cavalry to defeat the Xi tribe first, and the leader of the Xi tribe had to surrender.
After that, Da Zuorong incorporated the soldiers of the Xi tribe, and selected a large number of young and strong people of the Xi tribe, and after they were dispersed, they were incorporated into his own army, and the combat effectiveness was immediately doubled.
After the combat effectiveness was improved, he took the initiative to challenge the Khitans, using the method of sneak attack, defeating the Khitan soldiers and horses, and finally forcing the Khitan to attach itself to the Su Mo Yan as a whole.
In this way, the entire Liaodong does not have that, and there are still troops to resist the Su Mo Yan Ya.
Originally, the Tang army was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, looking at the Yan Ya army under Liaodong City, but now they have become, directly facing the soldiers and horses of Su Mo Ya.
