Chapter 116: Subversion (1)
Killing two Tubo people who they didn't know each other was not because Liu Ji had any ethnic plot, nor was it because he was uneven and drew a knife to help, but he just wanted to simply provoke an incident, the purpose was to test the reaction speed and strength of the local Tubo people.
Of course, there is a deeper purpose.
In the eighth century A.D., the Nebora was in a period of transition in the social structure, compared with a hundred years ago, the current rulers were replaced by the Indo-European race from Tianzhu, squeezing the local dark South Asian race to the edge of the city, although the caste system of the Tianzhu people has not yet been fully pushed out, there are some faint trends.
Coupled with the Tubo people riding on their heads, of course there will be something to do in this, at least for them outsiders, there is still a difference who will rule, Liu Ji hopes to make this distinction more intuitive.
When Dolma came back, it was almost dark, and even the always calm Sterling was a little restless, but fortunately, the child's cleverness was still on their imagination, and they finally didn't let them venture out to pick it up.
"It's fighting, it's fighting." Zhuoma even stroked, dancing and talking for a long time before he explained things clearly.
It turned out that she had been following the settlement of those mountain people, which was a little far away from the city, and the Tubo people were slow to react, so it was too late to go back and forth, because it was hidden, and the Tubo people did not know which part of the mountain people did it, and launched a large-scale search in that area, which would naturally clash with the local mountain people.
In the next few days, the group was still searching for news everywhere, and Liu Ji was responsible for summarizing all the news and sifting out useful information from it.
Kang Laosi made a general understanding of the political outlook of the country through his association with the wealthy merchants in the city, and the dynasty of this generation has only been in power for more than a hundred years, and he still pursues the policy of befriending Tibet, including the current king and most of the courtiers who hold this view, and the powerful and wealthy classes they represent are naturally the same tendency.
The news that others got was a little confused, the garrison of the Tubo people in this country was not much, and there were only more than 1,000 people in the capital, basically all of them were the faction that Liu Ji saw that day, acting as a prestige and oppressing the people, except for these tax collectors, I am afraid that there are not even half of the soldiers who can fight.
As for the ordinary people, they are also divided into several kinds, the order in the city is better, the resentment of the residents is not too big, the farmers, herdsmen, and mountain people outside the city are at the bottom, and their number is the largest.
It is not much different from what was expected, it can be said that it will be put in any place, it will come to a similar result, Liu Ji chose Nepal, with his own considerations, this is the Western Regions, Tianzhu, Tubo three places adjacent to the place, from the Tubo people's ruling core is very close, once there is a change, it will have a very big impact.
With the information, the corresponding plan can be formulated, Kang Laosi and the others, in that small earthen house, watched Liu Ji make a thick document out of thin air, the detailed rules on it, it made people's scalps numb, and there was a strange line of Chinese written on the cover.
Draft Implementation of the Dawning Plan
Liu Ji ignored their surprised gazes, and seemed to be dissatisfied with this crude plan, mainly because the time was too tight and there was no way to deduct the details.
"Lao Kang, tomorrow, you want to open up the joints, go to Tianzhu merchants, let them introduce the dissatisfied people in the country, the more valuable the identity, the better, needless to say, only the Tang Dynasty's conquest is obscure, it is best to let the Tianzhu people speak, you will follow."
"Duguli, you and Zhuoma go to contact the mountain people, and when Lao Kang has accurate news, let them gather in the city, and make them think that there will be powerful and powerful people to support them."
In later generations, subverting a sovereign country is nothing more than those few things, Liu Ji has always regretted that he has not implemented it himself, and now that he has this opportunity, how can he let it go.
The most important thing is to find a suitable entry point, in his opinion, the contradictions in this country are not sharp enough, so the first thing he has to do is to add fuel to the fire.
In any regime, his upper echelons cannot be monolithic, there will be disappointed people who are proud, Emperor He's lost wife is one of them, he is the eighth son of the king, there are seven brothers in front of him, no matter how you look at it, you can't take your turn, and the marriage is just a rich businessman, who belongs to an empty prince who has no power and no power, and only one identity is left.
Because of this, he was picked by Kang Laosi.
"A Sogdian merchant?" For the sake of those gifts, Emperor He's wife did not hesitate, and met him in his own mansion.
At the same time as him came a Tianzhu merchant, they all have good intentions for their peers from the Western Regions, because who doesn't know, that is the place where wealth gathers, maybe one day it will be used, now just help to introduce it, you can make friends, why not?
"Greetings from afar, noble prince, your friend." Kang Lao made a common flat-chested salute.
"Goshawks can't fly over snowy mountains, my friend, what kind of wind brings your greetings?"
Emperor He's lost his wife didn't put up any srest, whether it was to have a plan for the future, or to accept his fate to be a prince of peace, he needed the support of businessmen, and it was impossible for people to come to the door for no reason, just to give a gift.
Kang Laosi took a step back and gave the opportunity to speak to the Tianzhu merchant: "The news comes from our mutual friend, Lao Kang just admires the prince's demeanor and borrows a light." ”
His humility immediately won the favor of the other party, but when the Tianzhu people told what had happened, the polite smile on his face disappeared all of a sudden.
"What do you say? The Tang people want to take advantage of the southern countries? ”
No wonder he lost his color, the Tang and Tibetan countries have been fighting each other for a hundred years, the two sides have been fighting back and forth, and the nearest battlefield to Nepal is also thousands of miles away, and the Tang people are not used to the plateau, and the Tubo people swear that they will not be able to stand even if they fight in.
Over the years, this has been the case, but if you can borrow the Tianzhu States, it is another matter, without going through the land of Zhangxiong, you can imagine how much impact it will have when the army of the Tang Dynasty suddenly appears in the hinterland of Nepal?
"Your Royal Highness, when I set off, this was just a rumor, and you should know that they never wanted to get too much into the strife between the two countries, unless they ......"
Unless anything, the Tianzhu people didn't say it, but Emperor He's lost his wife thought of it, people follow the victors, and whichever side is big will fall to which side, it is the way of survival of these small countries, and no one can say anything.
Nepal is also a small country.
"Did the Tang people win?" He said to himself.
"That's where our new friend comes in." Tianzhu people just rightly pointed out Kang Laosi.
Kang Laosi made an embarrassed expression, and under the eager gaze of the other party, he said helplessly.
"Originally, I didn't want to say such disappointing words, but you are the master, we came from Bolu, it has become a battlefield, when we left, I heard that the Tang people crossed the Poyi River, that was half a month ago, and now where they are, please forgive me for not making unfounded guesses."
"Thank you, my friend, for such important news, please stay in the house for one night, and don't refuse the sincerity of a hospitable person."
"It's our pleasure."
Both of them knew very well that the other party meant to be under house arrest, and sure enough, Emperor He's wife didn't even show up when he was eating, either he was looking for someone to verify, or he was looking for someone to discuss, no matter what it was, it all achieved Liu Ji's goal.
In this calm country, stir up a little wave.
Kang Laosi picked up a cup made of silverware, touched it lightly with the Tianzhu merchant, and exchanged a tacit look.
Under the general trend, it is not only the rulers of the city who follow the trend, but also the merchants who travel from south to north are the most sensitive.
