Chapter 434: A Sense of Crisis

Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet may be said to be a strategic move under the dominance of the Tang Dynasty, occupying the moral high ground in name, but this is a harmony after all, Lin Sen feels that this is tantamount to an insult to the generals, when does the safety of the Tang Dynasty need to be obtained by sacrificing a woman's happiness.

What's more, Princess Wencheng in history entered Tibet, which is equivalent to giving Songtsen Gampo a big banner, in a sense, allowing him to borrow the momentum of the Tang Dynasty when he integrated the internal in the future, and also gave him an external environment for stable development.

And more importantly, Princess Wencheng did not go empty-handed, accompanied by a variety of advanced planting and smelting techniques, as well as many craftsmen, these things were sent over, but they really quickly improved their productivity and combat effectiveness, and the improvement of the entire national strength can be said to be immediate.

It turns out that a knife can't break the armor of the Datang soldiers, but with the Datang weapon production method, you can do it, isn't this equivalent to helping them deal with their own sergeants, and it's not like this to play with great joy.

At this point, Lin Sen also specifically stated the benefits and disadvantages to Li Shimin, no matter whether he can stop the harmony or not, he must stop the spread of this stupid fork's technology, this is the real behavior of the enemy, of course, Lin Sen did not dare to scold Li Shimin so blatantly, but it was not so tactful.

On the contrary, it is to send some old scholars and so-called monks and great virtues, Lin Sen must be very happy, the Confucians can practice their ideals and beliefs, and educate the locals not to use swords and soldiers, it is best to teach those Tubo nobles to be humble gentlemen who can only move their mouths and not their hands, that is the great blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

When the monks enter Tibet, they must also focus on harming those nobles, making them all quails and sheep who are obedient, and they must not preach to those slaves, if this makes it as strange as the Tianzhu Sect in later generations, so that the slaves who are not as good as pigs and dogs in those days are still content with the status quo, it will become a good thing for Tibet.

Lin Sen also hoped that there would be a few more Spartacus-like characters on their side, leading many local slaves to rebel from time to time, and giving Songtsen Gampo and them more fun, which was a direct drain on their national strength.

Well, can Datang encourage them more? Hey, a slave country, a righteous country like Datang can't be seen at all.

As for the common people, it is better to have more followers of local sects, and if there is unfair treatment, they will do it, and if there is good things, they will burn them and worship the gods.

Sow discord, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, multi-pronged, let its internal and external troubles break out together, I don't believe that they can rise so quickly.

As for how Lin Sen knew this? It can't be said that the future generations will know, Lin Sen must have been prepared.

Do you really think that he has been simply staying at home with his wife and children all these years, and he is not enterprising at all? I must have to prepare for it in private.

For example, the ones he bought, no, the Gurkha warriors who should have been sent as a partner were sent out by Lin Sen early and went to the Tibetan Plateau, just so that they could give full play to their skills.

After special training, compared with ordinary Gurkha warriors, they are not a little tough.

Of course, they didn't go to fight, no matter how tough they were, but after all, the number of people was limited, Lin Sen sent them there as a caravan, at least on the surface.

There is no shortage of gold and silver jewelry and all kinds of gemstones on the plateau, and there is no shortage of high-quality skins and medicinal materials, in short, there are not a few goods that can be traded.

And because of the unique environment of the plateau, it has always been regarded as a daunting path by the people of the Tang Dynasty, so this trade route has not been developed very well.

Then the corresponding plateau goods become a rarity, although it will definitely take a little longer to go back and forth, but it is definitely profitable to transport it back.

Also brought back were other Mulbhara warriors, of course, mercenary in nature.

Because he missed the battles in the early days of the founding of the country, there was no other way to quickly increase the strength of his subordinates, so he had to find a way under the existing conditions.

Slaves and mountain people on the expansion of Zhuangzi, these two methods have never stopped, and mercenaries are also a way.

The Lin family caravan can now be said to be the largest caravan in the Tang Dynasty on the plateau, and when it comes to understanding the plateau, no one can match it.

And the goods brought back by the caravan were not simply sold, but were sold as luxury goods with higher profit margins as always.

Some of them became new products launched by Lancôme, which received a good response, while others became fine items at auction and fetched good prices.

With the information about the plateau brought back by such a caravan, can Li Shimin not believe it?

Of course, in fact, in addition to treating this place as a trade route and a source of soldiers, Lin Sen also has the intention of operating this place as a retreat, and intelligence has indeed always been one of the focuses of their attention.

As the relationship with Li Chengqian deepened, and there was revenge from other princes, Lin Sen's sense of crisis and unsteadiness became stronger and stronger.

The plateau is also very vast, and in the entire history of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that there has been no successful counterattack on the plateau, at least there is no experience of going deep into the hinterland of the plateau.

I really encountered the worst situation and had to retreat, and retreating into the plateau may also be a good way out.

It is really necessary for Lin Sen to show some real miracles, and in a place like the plateau, which is more primitive in terms of environment and humanity, it is not difficult to package himself as a real immortal.

As far as his ability to transform and give birth to plants is revealed, not to mention on the plateau, even if it is placed in the Tang Dynasty, it is also a living immortal.

He also has an equally miraculous medical skill, and it is not too easy to be worshipped, and even have a large number of fanatics.

Not to mention occupying the plateau, it is guaranteed to have its own place, and there is still no problem.

In fact, those Gurkha war slaves were able to run around the plateau for him so loyally because they had witnessed the magic of Lin Sen.

Of course, Lin Sen did it on purpose, after all, it was to be used as a retreat place, and if the early manpower was not loyal enough, it would not be able to carry out in the future.

Moreover, the Gurkhas returned to the grassland, without the constraints of the household registration system on the side of the Tang Dynasty, it is not too easy to escape.

Without revealing these things as a guarantee, and worrying about their existence, it strengthened the power on the plateau.

These are not the same as ordinary warriors, they are all the top killing machines that have been fully trained, and they still know how to think, after all, they are guys who can graduate from the special forces training camp, and there can be no stupid people.

After returning to the grassland, it is not too difficult to develop your own force.

In fact, Lin Sen has indeed arranged for some people to do this, but they have only selected the most loyal ones.
