Chapter 726: Rong
() The Han people in the states of Longnan are the majority, but the Tang Dynasty has lost Longxi for 60 years, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is getting weaker and weaker, and the confrontation with the Tubo is often lagging behind, the officials **, the people are not restless, and the attraction of the landless people has plummeted below zero, Li Xianyi recovered the Qin and Wei prefectures in the process, the Tubo people have a weak will to fight, and they will collapse at the first touch, and the most resolute resistance and the strongest fight is the people's army funded by the Han merchant group.
These people are generally equipped, the training is closer to zero, but the will to fight is strong and terrible, they are oppressed by the Tubo people, but they are even more hostile to the Tang army that restored Longxi, because the Tang army has brought them more damage in the previous Tang and Tibetan battles, in their words, it is inevitable to take off two layers of skin in the hands of the Tubo people, but if it falls into the hands of the Tang people, they have to be skinned and cramped.
Another point, the Tubo people have few officials, the Tang people have many dogs, although the taxes of the Tubo people are heavy, most of them are handed over in the Ming place, and the Tang people are in addition to the Ming robbery, there are more dog slaves and dogs fighting against people, extortion, making you miserable.
For these people who have forgotten their ancestors, Li Xianyi's strategy is to kill an example, and he chose Minzhou, which has the strongest will to resist the war, as the breakthrough point, and the maneuver is to besiege the city, not to attack, to send envoys to persuade to surrender, to know the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, to move the feelings of compatriots, to persuade the surrender and persuasion of the above board, vigorously, so that the people of the city know about it, and make sure that the surrounding towns know it. Then he was rejected, then he was rejected, and then he was rejected, and he was persuaded again and again to surrender, and he was still refused.
The matter was only three, Minzhou's attitude hurt General Li's heart, so Li Xianyi set up a high altar outside Minzhou City, was sent to stomp his feet, sacrificed to heaven and earth, beat his chest and feet, howled and cried, and then ordered to attack the city, the city was broken, the city was slaughtered, men, women and children, Han people, and Hu people were all killed.
When he ascended the altar to tell the heavens, he let hundreds of captives witness the grand scene, and then let them live, so that they could recite General Lee's last resort.
The tragic situation in Minzhou has been passed on by word of mouth, and no one in the whole Longnan knows about it, and the guards of the various states have heard about it, and their souls are scattered, and they have disbanded the militia and sent envoys to welcome the army. Wherever the army went, the gentry and people from all over the country opened the city to welcome the king.
Li Xianyi explained that he had no choice but to be under the city of Minzhou, and every time he cried down, he vividly expressed his helplessness that day. Those who hear are sad, and those who hear are weeping.
After Shi Xiong and Zhu Xie Chixin led the army to Longnan, they concentrated on clearing the stronghold of the Tubo people, and re-interpreted the story of the Tubo people when they first entered Longxi 60 years ago, the only difference was that the host and object were reversed, this time the butcher's knife fell on the heads of the Tubo people, regardless of men, women and children, the army passed everywhere, and there was no grass. At the same time, the residents close to Tibet were moved inward into the system, artificially creating a large area of no man's land, according to Li Mao, to clean up the battlefield to meet the invasion of the Tubo people, and turn Longnan into the cemetery of the Tubo Empire.
The second year of Huichang came to an end in the disturbances, this year Longxi was recovered, Jingxi Dading, the grassland was replaced with the old peach, and the military state in the interior of the Central Plains was tormented by the plague. Datang ushered in his last moment in the storm.
At the beginning of the new year, the Tang Emperor renamed Li Mao as the king of Long, and gave the Son of Heaven a sword. He also issued an edict to build Longxi Road, with Li Mao as the envoy of the festival, and at the same time removed the envoy of the two towns of Hedong and Youzhou, with Zheng Xiaozhang as the envoy of the Youzhou festival and Yang Qi as the envoy of the Hedong festival.
At the beginning of February, Mo Qi Shentong broke through Guazhou, and the guards of Sha and Yi surrendered without a fight. The four of them said in unison that the people of Longxi were loyal to Yan and did not obey Tang, and only Li Mao was the first to look forward.
Qian Duoduo conquered Kuozhou, went south at the mouth of the Qingtu River to defeat the Tubo general Hu Dimo, beheaded 700 ranks, and captured Wang Sun alone. The Tibetans sent envoys to negotiate peace with Li Mao, redraw the border, and exchange prisoners. Meet and withdraw together.
Qian Duoduo returned to Lanzhou from Kuozhou, and the generals Shi Xiong, Zhu Xie Chixin, Lu Zhen, and Yan Qin also gathered in Lanzhou.
Zheng Xiaozhang from Youzhou to Longxi, clerk and chief manager, Zheng Xiaozhang to Lanzhou to persuade Li Mao to ascend the throne as emperor, in order to receive the heart of the world. Li Mao said: "Xiaozhang, you have reversed the logic, the world is in the heart, I can be called the emperor, how can I be the emperor to collect the heart of the world." Zheng Xiaozhang apologized.
The next day, the 21st Prefecture of Longxi New Annexation Assassin Shi Qi asked Li Mao to ascend the throne as emperor, Li Mao sharply dismissed it, and swore that he would not betray the Tang Dynasty. On another three days, Li Xianyi, Shi Xiong, Qian Duoduo, Zhu Xie Chixin, Yan Qin, Lu Zhen and other generals knelt down at the banquet to ask Li Mao to be emperor, and Li Mao brushed his sleeves away. At the Lantern Festival banquet, Zheng Xiaozhang, Chang Mucang, Li Jiang, Xie Biao, Li Deyu, Hu Nanxiang and others once again asked Li Mao to ascend the throne and claim the emperor. As soon as the seal was put on, Yang Qi, Zhu Xie Zhiyi, Mo Qi Shentong, Liu Fengshan, Wen Cheng, Zhu Kui (Zhu Jiu), Wang Jian, Ma Hedong, Gao Wen and other local festival envoys were persuaded to enter again.
The left servant of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Liang and other old ministers of the Tang Dynasty also went to the table to persuade them.
Li Mao silently shed tears and said: "I am a Tang minister, how can I bear to rebel against Tang Zili and be a rebel son of a second minister." ”
Zheng Xiaozhang led the persuasion: "The ministers heard the five classics and wefts of the "River Map" and "Luo Shu", and Confucius selected them, and the experience should be from afar. The case "Luo Shu Zhen Yaodu" said: "On the third day of the Red Day, Dechang, the ninth will be prepared, and it will be merged into the emperor." "Luo Shu Bao Destiny" said: "Tiandu Emperor is ready to be the emperor, and he is invincible in order to control the deed." "Luo Shu Lu Yun Period" said: "Nine Hou and Seven Heroes fight for the lives of the people, and the road is registered to carry the head, who makes the master come to Xuan." "The Book of Filial Piety: The Record of the Hook Destiny" said: "The emperor will prepare for the third and nine meetings." When the minister's father group did not die, he said that there was yellow gas in the southwest, standing upright for a few zhang, seeing the coming years, there were always Jingyun auspicious winds, and he should come down from Xuanji, which was a strange Rui. In the past 22 years, the number of qi is like a flag, from the west to the east, and the sky is traveling, and the "map" and "book" say that "there will be a son of heaven out of his side". Plus is the year is too white, glowing, and filling in the stars, often chasing each other from the stars. Near the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the five-star star from the year of the star scheme; The year star doctrine, the Tang is in the west, above the righteousness, so the Tang law often uses the year star to wait for the master. When there is a holy lord from this state, it will be prosperous. Emperor Shi Bian still existed, so the group did not dare to leak it. The glow of the sun is confused and chasing the stars of the year, and it is seen in the stomach; The Pleiades are the Compendium of Heaven, and the "Sutra" says, "The Emperor Star is at the place, and all evils die". The holy precept, the push of the period, in line with the number to, if this is not one. The minister heard that the holy king was born and the heavens did not violate, and the day after tomorrow was worshiped by the heavens, so he was born at the right time and was in harmony with God. May the king obey the people in the sky, and quickly both the flood industry and the Ninghai Sea. ”
Li Mao was silent for a long time when he heard this, and asked everyone: "Sure enough, Li Tang's qi is exhausted, and the world is centrifuged, why do the princes of the world still respect Chang'an Li as the Son of Heaven?" "Not allowed.
A few days later, He Jintao, the envoy of the Tianping Army, Wang Zhixing, the envoy of the Zhenhai Festival, He Sancai, the envoy of the Henghai Navy, the envoy of the Henghai Navy, Zhang Maozhao, and the Huainan Section, made Cui Yi persuade him.
On another three days, Li Quanzhong, the prince and the prince Han Gongwu, and the Xuanwu army made Han Shaozong persuade him to advance.
So far, the attitude of the princes of the world has been clear, Li Mao bathed and changed clothes, went to the altar to worship heaven and earth, accepted local support, called the emperor in Lanzhou, changed the Yuan Daxing, and founded the country Yan. Worship Zheng Xiaozhang, Li Jiang, Li Deyu, and Xie Biao. Imitation of the Tang Dynasty system, retaining three provinces and six ministries, local divisions, prefectures, and counties. The newly established General Staff Office is in charge of military orders, and the Military Protectorate is in charge of supervising the army. Change the town army to the forbidden army, and build a total of 12 forbidden armies of the left and right Longxiang, the left and right guards, the left and right Shence, the left and right Shenwei, the left and right Weiyuan, and the left and right Yulin.
Although the name of the country is established, the country has not yet been unified. In particular, Guanzhong is still in the hands of Li Tang, ten days after Li Mao ascended the throne, Shi Xiong was the left commander, Liu Fengshan was the right commander, Qian Duoduo was the vanguard commander, Zhu Xie Chixin and Lu Zhen were the left and right soldiers and horses of the Chinese army, and Yan Qin was the commander of the rear army. The Yan army traveled thousands of miles in a day, and the guards of the towns along the way surrendered without a fight, and they all returned to the Great Yan Emperor, and the soldiers arrived in Ju County, a suburb of Chang'an, in one day.
