Chapter 450 Nanzhao Urgent!

Zhang Xuan smiled, and his movements became gentle. update

He leaned down, gently stroked Su Hudong's high bulging lower abdomen, and said softly, "Su'er, for this child, I have worked hard for you!" ”

"This child is pregnant in Tubo and Tibet, after you give birth, if you are the prince, I will turn the land of 3,000 miles in the north of Tubo into his fiefdom and canonize him as the king of Pingkang!"

Su Hudong was ecstatic when he heard this, and grabbed Zhang Xuan's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "What Your Majesty said is true?" ”

"I never speak∞ lead the army to pacify the Quartet, sitting on tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, my son, each of them will get a vast fief!"

Zhang Xuan laughed and raised his hand.

"Concubine, thank you for your grace!"

Su Hudong was in tears, and Xuan attached importance to this child∨ that is, he valued her as a concubine. Su Hudong has always been a princess of different races, and the prince she gave birth to is afraid that she will not be able to get the emperor's hòu seal. But Zhang Xuan's casual words tonight completely dispelled the hidden worries in her heart.

Day 2.

Zhang Xuan personally saw off the 500 cavalry units in the five-way diplomatic mission, all of which were brave and elite in the Chinese army, although they were small in number, they were all well-equipped and equipped with powerful firearms.

Today, the Firearms Division in Lingzhou, under the support of the whole country, has formed a scale for the production of three varieties and 18 types of firearms, and the mass production is enough to equip the whole army. It's just that Zhang Xuan didn't do this, but mainly supplied the Shence army. The rest of the troops, such as the Shenwu Army and the Flying Tiger Army, each had a firearms battalion.

At present, the 150,000 troops resting on the front line of Liangzhou have been reorganized into three armies by Zhang Xuan, one is the Shence Army, one is the Shenwu Army, and the other is the Flying Tiger Army.

Each of the three armed forces has 50,000 troops, and they are not only independent troops, but also accept coordinated command, and each army has its own system, which can not only fight independently, but also deploy formations in a joint manner.

That is to say, there are also infantry and archers, Mo knife hands, shield bearers and other regular formations in the Shence Army, while the Shenwu Army is mainly a Mo Sword Army, but it also has firearms battalions and infantry.

As for the Flying Tigers, they were mainly infantry, but they were also equipped with cavalry and firearms battalions.

The three armies are training and recuperating on the outskirts of Liangzhou, and their morale has reached its peak.

Guo Ziyi grasped the military and the whole army, while Zhang Xun focused on internal affairs and logistics. All parts of the world, especially the rich provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the grain and grass baggage were continuously transported to Liangzhou and Hexi, and various official grain transportation teams on the official roads were endless, and the people along the way knew in their hearts that the emperor's westward expedition was imminent.

"Report! Jiannan Urgent! ”

Zhang Xun was dealing with complicated government affairs in the government office, and a recital from Jiannan arrived in Liangzhou, and he was on his desk.

Zhang Xun chuckled in his heart, and immediately grabbed the report to watch.

At present, the emperor is preparing the whole country to conquer the west to pacify the Western Regions and the Northern Court and even the countries above the green mountains, and go straight to the land of Persian food.

After reading the report, as expected, just like him, there was an abnormality in the Nanzhao people.

Zhang Xun hesitated for a while, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up to report to the emperor.

When Zhang Xun rushed to go, Zhang Xuanzheng, accompanied by Guo Ziyi, held a banquet to entertain the representatives of the mission sent by Yang Lian, the chief military and political officer of the two provinces of Tibet. Soon is the Spring Festival and Shangyuan Festival, Duo Lang led a team of more than 100 people, with dozens of cars of Tibetan specialties, thousands of miles to Liangzhou, to pay tribute to the emperor and congratulate the Spring Festival.

Also present at the banquet was Dorang's daughter, Tibetan Concubine Dolma.

Zhang Xun hurriedly entered the door and bowed, "Your Majesty, Jiannan is in a hurry, and the minister has a book!" ”

The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, but his face remained unchanged and smiled, "Today, for Duo Lang to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and don't talk about state affairs Zhang Xun, you will take a seat." ”

Although Zhang Xun was anxious, he also knew that the emperor was unwilling to talk about state affairs in front of Duolang, so he patiently prepared to take a seat according to his words.

Duo Lang stood up respectfully and said, "This is Lord Zhang, the head of the household department?" Duolang has heard of Zhang Xiang's name in Pingkang Road for a long time, and when he saw it today, it was indeed worthy of his reputation. ”

Although Duolang is a subordinate of Tubo and has no real power, he is the father of the emperor's concubine after all, and he is nominally the main official under Yang Lian of Tubo and the emperor's canonization, so Zhang Xun can't be too rude.

He smiled slightly and replied, "Lord Duolang is polite, Zhang is just a small minister under His Majesty's command, and his name is unknown, how can he be enough?" ”

In terms of fame, Zhang Xun is indeed inferior to Guo Ziyi and others, because he has been busy with behind-the-scenes affairs. But when it comes to the emperor's reliance and trust, no one dares to underestimate Zhang Xun. Duo Lang naturally knew a lot about the emperor's close ministers, and hurriedly greeted Zhang Xunji.

Zhuoma sat next to Zhang Xuan, and when he saw his father greeting the ministers beside the emperor, he was quite charming, and he couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Zhuoma playfully, and suddenly fell into her ear and said lightly, "Zhuoma, your father is actually a person with brains, who has the power to change, and can bend and stretch... After the banquet, you meet him and tell him that after three years, when the situation in the two provinces of Tibet is stabilized, he can enter Beijing as an official ∞ among the courtiers of the court, there can be no Tubo people∞ in the future, there will be two provinces in the Tubo province to select talents, and fill them as officials in all parts of the world.

Dolma pursed her lips, nodded and chuckled, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine ......"

Before Zhuoma's words were finished, Zhang Xuan laughed loudly, and her hand was firmly grasped by Zhang Xuan.

Zhuoma's face was crimson, and she was just about to subconsciously break free, when she suddenly saw the emperor's expression clear and awe-inspiring, she blushed and lowered her head slightly, and was pulled up by the emperor's hand, and stood there together to face Guo Ziyi, Duo Lang, Zhang Xuan and others and raised their glasses and smiled, "Now the situation in Tubo is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which has laid a solid foundation for the imperial court to pacify the Western Regions and the Green Mountains in the next step." ”

"The return of the two roads of Tibet is of great significance∞ I think that the focus of the future development of the imperial court is one in Longshuo, Qinghai, the second is in the two provinces of Tubo, the third is in the land of Dongyi in the Bohai Sea, and the fourth is in the green mountains of the Western Regions."

"Qinghai Longshuo and Tubo can be developed into the south of the Yangtze River and become an important grain and grass reserve base for the imperial court, while Dongyi is the front station for the imperial court to expand the sea frontier in the future. As for the Western Regions and the Green Mountains, in my mind, as long as they are properly developed and operated, and trade is strengthened, the vast territory of the Western Regions will surely become the gateway to trade and frontier defense of our dynasty. ”

"I believe that in ten years, you will witness the rise of a great country with a prosperous culture, a vast territory, ethnic integration, and strong national strength! Whether it is the Tubo people, the Han people, or the people of the Western Regions, the Hui people, the Dongyi people and even the Lingling Zhuhu people, they are all a family! I'm convinced of that! Come, let's fill this cup! ”

Zhang Xuan's voice was generous, and he held up the wine cup and took the lead in drinking it all.

Guo Ziyi and the others also drank it all, and then bowed to the ground together, and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor!" ”

The banquet was over.

After the dispersal, Dolang went to his daughter Dolma's private courtyard to get together. He came to Liangzhou this time, firstly to show his loyalty to the emperor, and secondly, to see his daughter Zhuoma. He knew that his daughter was rebellious and stubborn, and he was afraid that she would anger the emperor by her side, which would cause the entire family to suffer.

Duo Lang was a man of the times, he witnessed the emperor's great talent and strategy, and knew that China's national strength was strong and the army was incomparably strong, so that Tibet would no longer have any chance of "making a comeback", and even if there was a small-scale rebellion, it would be quickly wiped out by the army.

In this case, it is better to do things for the court with peace of mind and be a courtier under the emperor's control, so as to ensure the glory and wealth of the Duolang family. In fact, with the emperor's trust and his daughter Zhuoma in the harem, the Duolang family has become the number one family among the Tibetan people, and their land and wealth are far greater than before.

Listening to his father's chattering advice, Zhuoma felt a little helpless.

She stayed with the emperor and was accepted as a concubine, which was reluctant at first. But after so long, whether she accepts it or not, she is the emperor's concubine, and there is no change≥ but Tubo makes a comeback, and she is still the emperor's woman.

Therefore, she has actually slowly accepted her identity. Although, since that night, the emperor has not been blessed with her again.

Zhuoma sighed and said, "Father, you don't have to say it, Zhuoma has already accepted his fate] Ma just wants his father and family to be safe and sound in Tibet, and that's it." ”

Duo Lang looked at Zhuoma with complicated eyes, and said softly, "Daughter, how does Your Majesty treat you?" You have to fight to give birth to a prince and a daughter for Your Majesty, so that our Duolang family can really gain a foothold in the future......"

"The emperor is good to his daughter. It's just..."Zhuoma's cheeks were crimson, and he shook his head and said, "My daughter can also see that the emperor has taken his daughter as a concubine, just to appease my father and the hearts of the Tubo people, father, the emperor said that in the future, you can go to Zhongjing as an official, and you can even be put as a governor." ”

Duolang was ecstatic, stepped forward and grabbed Zhuoma's hand and said hurriedly, "Daughter, is Your Majesty's words true?" ”

Zhuoma frowned and said softly, "The emperor shouldn't lie to me." But "... Father, our roots are in Tibet, and we have left Tibet." ”

Dorang smiled, "Daughter, you don't understand. ”

"When I go to Zhongjing, it doesn't mean that our Duolang family's property and family business are gone. You are right, Tubo is the root of our Duolang family, as long as my father can gain a foothold in the imperial court, this family business in Tubo will definitely get bigger and bigger. ”

"Starting from my father, our Duolang family has been an official in the court for generations, and the powerful position in Tibet has also been consolidated. If you can be favored, we can even ......" Dorang smiled with a smile on his eyebrows, "It is not impossible for my father to become a vassal king. ”

Zhuoma sighed faintly, "I'm afraid my daughter can't help her father with anything, and my daughter herself doesn't know where to go......"

Duo Lang's heart was anxious, and he lowered his voice and said, "You stay by the emperor's side, what a good opportunity to enter... If you wait for the emperor's class to return to Beijing, there are many concubines in the harem, daughter, you will no longer have the opportunity to be favored..."

Dolma turned his back and didn't want to say a word.

She accepted her fate and status, which did not mean that she would rack her brains to please the emperor. Moreover, in her opinion, even if she went to please the emperor, she might not necessarily be favored. And even if he is favored, what should the emperor do or what will be, the Duolang family wants to "go further" because of this. "I'm afraid it's hard.
