Chapter 78: The Surrender of Tibet
Ka Qinling launched a ruthless, it was really terrifying, a pair of meteor hammers flew left and right, and he died when he touched it, at this time he was crazy, he only knew that he had opened a bloody road, and he had already killed the red eyes, and the people who stood in the way, whether they were enemies or friends, had become the unjust soul under his meteor hammer, and it was really a river of blood to kill, which made people avoid it.
Nazajilie's bravery also surprised Lu Dongzan very much, and while guarding Zampu Songtsen Gampo, he shouted and ordered someone to stop Nazajilie.
Nazajilie was still some distance away from them, and the battlefield was full of people, and it was not easy to catch up with them, so he could only desperately fight to open a bloody road.
However, in order to cover the escape of Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, some Tibetan soldiers were also completely fearless of death, so that Nazajilie killed people to the point of softness, but they still could not get close, and Kaqin Ling and Songtsen Gampo and their teams could only watch them go farther and farther.
After the Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo led the hundred officials to escape, the Tubo soldiers on the battlefield, under the leadership of the low-level generals, no longer fell in love with the battle, but went all out to break through.
The enemy and us have been completely mixed up at this time, and the Tubo have long been at a disadvantage, and after the team on the edge of the rear desperately broke through, the Songzhou army did not send people to chase it, but went all out to encircle and kill the Tubo soldiers who had not fled on the battlefield, and shouted surrender from time to time.
Feeling that there was no hope of breaking through, the Tibetan soldiers finally had to choose to surrender, and the fighting gradually stopped.
After the war, Tubo Zampu Songtsen Gampo was reorganized, and he was almost so angry that he vomited blood and was busy.
This time, he led 200,000 troops, but now he has lost more than half, and now the remnants of the army are less than 100,000.
Tubo Zampu Songtsen Gampo was very unwilling, since he sat on Zampu, he personally led the troops to fight dozens of battles, he has always defeated others, and others are called ministers and tributes, when have he suffered such a big loss.
Songtsen Gampo ordered another 150,000 soldiers and horses to be transferred from the city of Raksha, and he wanted to avenge the blood hatred.
However, the old ministers below resolutely disagreed, and then used some cities to transfer troops, but persuaded him to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and wait until the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was completely unified, and then fight against the Tang Dynasty after Tubo became strong.
Songtsen Gampo resolutely disagreed, and still wanted to transfer troops from the city of Luo to avenge the defeat, but what moved him was that seven old ministers died in front of him with death.
If it's just one or two old ministers, if they die, they will die, Songtsen Gampo can not take it to heart, but seven of them died at once, plus the previous one, there are a total of eight old ministers, and they use death to advise them not to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo has to obey, otherwise, if the old ministers are all dead, then he will really become a loner.
And just when Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo withdrew his troops without doing anything and paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, the news from Luoshu City made him have to order to withdraw immediately.
The rebels of the same country are attacking the city of Logos, and the newly subjugated tribes in various places have also defected.
Compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is obviously more important to pacify the civil strife, which is more important, Songtsen Gampo knows very well in his heart.
Knowing that Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo had withdrawn from the army, Li Zhonghua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In this battle, the results were obviously huge, and the Tubo soldiers who surrendered added up to more than 60,000 people before and after, and the casualties on their own side also exceeded 20,000.
Li Zhonghua was very satisfied with such a result.
Among the surrenderers, the warriors of the former Subian country accounted for more than half, and the restoration army of the Subian country was expanded to 45,000 people.
The rest of the troops were all used to build new cities, and this free labor force must of course be used.
As soon as the Tubo army retreated, the tribes that had originally migrated returned to the place where they lived, and this place, of course, was attached to the Tang Dynasty from then on, and was under the jurisdiction of the Songzhou Jiedu envoy.
Everything returned to normal, except for the 10,000 soldiers and horses brought out from Chang'an, stationed in Xincheng in Yazhou, the other soldiers and horses were re-disrupted and scattered in various states.
The battle report was rushed for 800 miles and sent to Chang'an, plus Han Xian, the governor of Songzhou, sent someone to submit a credential to Songzhou Mansion about Songzan Gampo, expressing his willingness to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty Khan, and sent a great discourse to Lu Dongzan, and went to Chang'an to pay tribute, which was also sent to Chang'an almost at the same time.
In the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City.
Li Shimin received two 800-li urgent reports before and after, and he was really surprised and delighted, summoned all the ministers to discuss, and at the same time ordered someone to send an order to gallop to the soldiers and horses of Songzhou and pause their advance.
Li Shimin suddenly remembered that Li Zhonghua had already predicted that Tubo would send troops to capture Tuyuhun, and then capture the Bailan Zhuqiang tribe of the party and threaten Songzhou City, all of which seemed to have been verified.
He named him as the envoy of the Songzhou Festival, after a little twenty-five detention states, and now it is less than a year, he has made a great contribution, this son is really a blessed general!
Since Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo is willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is of course willing to accept it, and Li Shimin did not pay attention to the barren land in Tubo, even if he defeated Tubo, it would not be of much benefit.
For meritorious people, Li Shimin has never been stingy, those who should be awarded will be awarded, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be promoted will be promoted.
Although the troops in Li Zhonghua's hands are all unorganized, it does not prevent the imperial court from rewarding them.
It's just that Li Zhonghua is young, and he has already been made an envoy of the Songzhou Festival, and if this official rises again, even Li Shimin feels a headache, and he doesn't know what official to promote him.
"Your Majesty! It is better to hand over the detention prefectures under the jurisdiction of Maozhou and other places near Songzhou Mansion to Li Zhonghua, but it is not appropriate to call it Songzhou Jiedu Envoy again, it is better to change the name to Xichuan Jiedu Envoy and manage all the Detention Prefectures in Jiannan Province. Wang Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.
"Xichuan Jiedu is not appropriate, the scope of Xichuan is too wide, since he governs the Zhuqiang tribe's confined states, it is better to call him the Zhuqiang Confined Prefecture Jiedu Envoy, and let him have full authority to control the Zhuqiang tribes adjacent to Tubo." Wei Zheng suggested.
Under the consultation of the ministers, Li Shimin issued several holy decrees, conferencing Li Zhonghua as the envoy of the Zhuqiang tribe to the state festival, and sealing the title of viscount of Shuangliu County, as for the rewards of gold and silver, he was exempted, but Li Shimin knew that Li Zhonghua was terrifying in earning money.
At the same time, Xue Rengui was also rewarded, who was named the captain of Zhiguo and the military attache of the seventh grade.
Nazajilie was also named Captain Renyong, and other generals who led the troops also received different rewards.
Even Li Zhonghua's wife, Yang Xue, was also crowned as the Lady of the Five Grades.
After this war, many tribes threatened by Tubo wrote to the Tang Dynasty court, requesting to be attached, and Li Shimin accepted them one by one, and set up a state in his territory, and named his tribal leader as the state assassin history, and still belonged to the Qiang tribe to make Li Zhonghua moderate.
This year, Chang'an has undergone great changes, the people have become accustomed to using paper money to shop, His Royal Highness Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, took advantage of the emperor Li Shimin to lead the ministers, when he inspected the eastern capital Luoyang, he intended to rebel, and the result was that the Son of Heaven was furious, demoted to the common people, and sent to Qianzhou.
This year, merchants from all over the world gathered in Chang'an, just to buy Chinese brands of high wine, fruit wine, soap, soap, perfume, and flower water.
Under the management of Wu Zetian, the various industries under Li Zhonghua's name have developed day by day.
Bank of China, China Restaurant, and China Brand Stores have opened all over the major states, counties, and governments in Datang. Every day brings Li Zhonghua huge wealth, and the tax revenue created also surprises the imperial court.
Those princes, gate valves, and aristocrats who have a cooperative relationship with Li Zhonghua are also smiling in the face of considerable dividends.
