Chapter 15: Wang Xuance's Rise (8)

There are many rumors similar to this, but in general, they are all preaching that everyone is equal in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no distinction between high and low.

And these are exactly what the people of Tianzhu want most.

As we all know, the caste system is very serious on Tianzhu's side, and the caste system is divided into four levels, namely Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras, the first two are the ruling class, and the last two are the exploited class, but in Tianzhu, the ruling class is in the minority after all, and ninety percent of the people are Vaishyas and Shudras.

There was no intermarriage between castes, and the lower castes (Vaishyas and Shudras) had no political privileges and could not be officials for the rest of their lives, especially the Shudras, who were nationals of conquered countries, and not only did they have no political rights, but they also did not even have a proper occupation, either as farmers or as servants, and as for merchants, this was something that only Vaishyas could do.

The Shudras were the most heavily exploited caste, but they were the largest in number of Tianzhu, and they did the hardest and most tiring work, and they created ninety percent of the country's property, but they had to endure the exploitation of those who were on high and high, and not only did they not receive the corresponding status and respect, but they did not even have the guarantee of their lives—it was impossible to say that they had no resentment in their hearts.

Wang Xuance didn't believe that they were all ninjas, and he didn't have any complaints about the so-called human masters, and the reason why no one resisted was just because no one guided them and aroused their thoughts to resist.

This situation reminded Wang Xuance of the Tubo of the past, how similar the shape of the Tubo was back then, the serfs did not have any freedom and dignity at all, and even their lives could not be effectively guaranteed, once they became serfs, not only would they be serfs all their lives, but even their descendants would be serfs, and there would never be a day of change.

The Tang Dynasty saw this point, and after attacking the plateau, the first order was to abolish the serfdom system, realize equality for all, and promise to give the serfs the allergy treatment they deserved.

It was precisely this order that the Tang Dynasty's conquest immediately won the support of 90% of the people in the Tubo region. Those serfs even took the initiative to lead the way for Datang in order to get recognized by Datang as soon as possible, and in order to live the life depicted in Datang's propaganda, they took the initiative to offer their last mouthful of food to Datang. It can be said that it was this policy that completely aroused the courage of the Tubo serfs, and under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, completely overthrew the rule of Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo.

Later, after Tibet was conquered by the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty immediately fulfilled its promise, and all Tibetans became legal citizens of the Tang Dynasty, with all the benefits that ordinary civilians in the Tang Dynasty could get, and they could join the army, do business, study, and participate in scientific expeditions...... As long as you have the ability, it is not impossible to become an official directly.

Until now, Tubo is still one of the most stable regions in the Tang Dynasty, and even Chang'an is proud of its stability, and the Tibetans are also the most loyal supporters of the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty conquered here, it was not that no one wanted to set off a riot to try to overthrow the Tang Dynasty's rule in Tibet, but such chaos often did not wait for the Tang Dynasty to send troops over to conquer, and Tibetans would take the initiative to arrest them and send them to the Western Tibetan Protectorate to receive the reward - that enthusiasm, not to mention how high.

People, it just can't be compared, although the life of the people in Tibet is still not very good, they still need the annual subsidy of the Tang Dynasty, and many people still die of various natural disasters and diseases every year, but compared with the previous days, the current life is undoubtedly heaven. At least compared to the serf who could only be a serf for a lifetime before, even if you generate more wealth, it will be taken away by those old men, now at least the life has a head, even if it is still poor, but as long as you work hard, after a few years, it will definitely be no problem to save a little money.

And under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, no one will rob you of your things, even if someone robs it, you can go to the official and let the government uphold justice, compared to the previous lack of a way to ask for help, it is definitely much better.

The Tang Dynasty has established a lot of colleges in Tubo, and sent a large number of gentlemen to give free classes to the children in Tubo in the past, imparting knowledge, if the children in the family are angry and admitted to the Jinshi, the life of the family is really bitter, and since then it has become the envy of everyone's official family, completely jumping over the dragon gate to become a dragon, flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix.

This is true in Tibet, and the same is true in Tianzhu.

The two are too similar - the same inferior people have no human rights, the same are classified, and the same inferior people have been enslaved for thousands of years......

has also suffered thousands of years of oppression, since the Tang Dynasty's policy of emancipating serfs can arouse the courage of the Tubo serfs and successfully disintegrate ninety percent of the resistance forces in Tubo, it makes no sense that this trick cannot be used on Tianzhu's side.

Even in Wang Xuance's view, as long as the operation is good, the effect may be a little better than that of Tibet - as for the Tianzhu people who were brainwashed by Buddhism and then Hinduism, they no longer have the heart to resist......

This is impossible, otherwise why do you think the Blood Dragon Guard can take root in the Tianzhu Subcontinent so easily? Or is there help from the local natives? In other words, among the local natives, there are many who have joined the Blood Dragon Guard and worked for the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as he thought of it, Wang Xuance quickly formulated a plan and handed it over to the Blood Dragon Guard to implement.

The Blood Dragon Guard divided the plan into three steps, the first step was to let the people in the city know that Datang was good.

This step has already begun, and it has already paid off, with the help of the Blood Dragon Guard, most of the people in Qunu City know what life is like for the Tang people, there is no oppression, no caste, and no hierarchy. Although there may be some unfairness, at least there is a law to protect you, not like now, even if you are killed by the higher castes, the higher castes will not pay you for your life, at most it is just a little compensation for you, as for the higher castes being killed by the lower castes - this is basically impossible, a society at the bottom that cannot support each other is cold. The vast majority of criminal cases are basically cannibalism between people at the bottom, and very few people at the bottom steal and rob to deliberately hurt the top class. Because of the areas where the top high castes are active, the bottom low castes can't get in at all.

More importantly, as long as you have the ability in Datang, you can be appreciated by those in power, unlike Tianzhu, even if you have the talent to reach the heavens, as long as you are a person from the Shudra or Vaishya caste, you can only be a farmer or a businessman, and your talents will never be brought into play, you will never be able to be a master, and you will not be able to enjoy political privileges.

And Datang does not have this restriction, and even since ancient times, there has been no such restriction in Huaxia, not to mention that you are an ordinary civilian, even if you are a slave, as long as you have the ability, then you can be reused - Baili Xi is a slave, who was exchanged for five sheepskins by Qin Mugong, and Yi Yin, his parents are slaves, and he is naturally also a slave, but he has not been discovered by Shang Tang and has become the first hero of the destruction of Xia, Wei Qing is the riding slave of Princess Pingyang, and he is also the lowest person, but in the end, Salted Fish turned over and not only became a general, and in turn married his former master (this is the general manager, as the CEO, marrying Bai Fumei, the ancient version of the pinnacle of life) and so on, there are countless similar examples, this is called the counterattack of Dick Si in China, but in other countries, it is simply incredible, how can a slave go to the top? This is simply a big rebellion.

Especially for the nobles on Tianzhu's side, this is definitely the biggest blow, but for the lower castes, it is undoubtedly the most attractive.

After learning about the living conditions of the people of the Tang Dynasty, for a while, there was a commotion in the entire Qunu City.

This is exactly what Wang Xuance wants most, after learning about the dynamics of the people in Qunu City, he immediately smiled - the first goal has been achieved, and the next step is the second step......

Soon, in the city of Qunu, there was new news spread - it is said that a few years ago, the situation in Tubo north of Nibora was worse than that of Tianzhu, although there was no Chinese surname system, but the life of serfs was worse than that of the lower castes, and it was better than the untouchables (the Tianzhu caste system was actually not the fourth class, but the fifth class, and below the Shudra, there was also the rank of untouchables, that is, Dalits, because they were too low, so they were not included in the fourth class), and their lives were not guaranteed.

But now after being conquered by the Tang Dynasty, it is said that they are already the people of the Tang Dynasty, their lives are very good, everyone is equal, and some people have been admitted to the Jinshi and become officials in the Tang Dynasty.

Under the guidance of the above main information, the resentment of the people in Qunu City was completely aroused.

It would be great if we could live in Datang.

The life of Datang is really good, there is no racial discrimination, and all conquered people are treated equally.

The Tibetan people are so lucky, there is at least hope for life, and I really want to live such a life.

Archou: What is that? It's just a robber, and he can sit on the throne.

It's none of my business for Arjuna to sit on the throne, but why did his taxes increase by thirty percent after a few of them? Is this going to kill us?

Aljouna was nominally a tax to strengthen the city's defenses, but most of the money actually went into his pocket.

If only we had become the people of Datang......

After this last sentence was spoken, there was a sudden silence in the Qu Nu City, but everyone's eyes flashed with a strange light - this sentence was said to be in their minds, and they were really moved.

Compared with the life of Datang, they are really not as good as pigs.

After learning of this situation, Wang Xuance showed a smug smile on his face - the second step is to make them have admiration for the life of the Tang Dynasty, inspire resentment against the current ruler, and complete.

Now there's the third step......

Overnight, the city was suddenly full of leaflets.

The content of the leaflet is very simple - the people in Qunu City, listen, the 200,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty have gone to all parts of the Ring Sun Empire, and all your reinforcements have been blocked by us, at least for a few months, don't you want to wait for the so-called rescue...... If you can surrender and kill Al Qiuna, then the envoy Wang Xuance promises that we will give you the treatment of the Tang Dynasty, and you will never have to be bound by caste hierarchy again. As long as you don't break the law, you can do whatever you want, and you can go wherever you want, and no one can restrain you from now on, and you will be completely free......

Wang Xuance's writing is not very good, and his words are too straightforward, but because of his straightforwardness, the people can understand it better, after all, those who are willing to read these leaflets are basically people of the lower castes, and most of them are illiterate, if you give them classical Chinese, they will definitely not understand.

After learning the content of the leaflet, Qunu City was completely sensational, and the minds of all the low-level people began to be active, and for a while, the atmosphere in Qunu City was strangely silent.

But Wang Xuance knew that the people were not really silent, they were just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Al Qiu Once this opportunity came, then these low-level people would definitely burst out with strong vitality, open the gates of Qunu City, welcome the Tang army, and also welcome the arrival of a new life.

Different from the excitement of the people, those big men who are high on weekdays, after learning the content of the leaflets, are all pale - a few years ago, Tubo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, but it completely caused a sensation in the whole of Asia, after all, Tubo is a great power in Asia, although it is not as good as the Tang Dynasty and the Great Eclipse, but compared with the Jieri Dynasty, it is not much worse.

It is such a big country, it was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in just one war, which is really too incredible, and ordinary people are not interested in it, but almost all the high-level leaders of Asian countries have an in-depth understanding of the specific process of this war.

In addition to being shocked by Datang's powerful attack power, what made them even more frightened was Datang's neat and neat strategy - in the whole world, except for Datang and a few countries, almost every country has a hierarchical racial policy.

The Great Food Empire forced the people of the newly conquered lands to change their faith.

The oppression of the common herdsmen by the Western Turkic aristocracy.

The samurai daimyo of the Wa Kingdom and the samurai class bullied the common people.

As mentioned earlier, Tianzhu's caste system and so on.

Even Datang's own ass is not clean - isn't that the countless slaves the best proof?

However, Datang is not just blindly oppressing the slaves, but giving them enough hope.

But Tianzhu didn't give them hope, once you were born in a lower caste family, then your children and grandchildren will be lower caste, and you will never have a chance to turn over.

The caste system is too similar to the serfdom system in Tibet, so they are the most wary of the Tang Dynasty. But it's just a vigilance, but they have no solution to this trick at all, and they can't let them give up the caste system, right? This is impossible, not even with the prestige of the King of the Sun.

There is no solution, and they can only pray in their hearts that Datang will not attack them.

I'm sorry, I know it's been a little wet lately, but the memories are almost finished, and in one or two more chapters, we're going to get to the point, and the Age of Discovery will be completely kicked off.
