Wu Yuanqing couldn't help but think of an article he had seen in later generations advocating the strength of Tibet, saying that the Tubo Empire had a strong army, developed science and technology, strong economic strength, and was powerful all over the world, conquering vast places, such as India in the south, the Arab Empire in the west, the Turkic Empire in the north, and a part of the Tang Dynasty in the east, all of which were conquered and brought under his rule. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThese neighboring countries are not afraid to obey, compete for tribute, and bow down to orders. They all offered their daughters to please the Tibetan Emperor Zampu (Emperor). The maiden princess of the neighboring country was honored to marry Zampu. Moreover, the economy and technology of Tibet were among the best in the empire of the same era.

However, before Songtsen Gampo, Tibet was only a small tribal alliance country in a remote corner.

Those who can be conscripted by Tubo also know that they are either inferior to Tubo, or they are stronger than Tubo and limited.

Just like the Zhangxiong or Yangtong that was annexed by Tibet two years ago. Tubo can annex it, which means that Tubo must be a little more powerful, right?

But you have to look at the information about Zhangxiong in later generations, in the Baidu entry, you will find that the Zhangxiong advocated there can scare you to death. It is said that he is the true origin of Tibetan civilization, and that the ancient kingdom of Zhangxiong (in fact, it is a tribal alliance), known as Qiangtong and Yangtong in history; It reached its peak before the 7th century. According to the article "A Brief History of the Tibetan Population", according to the proportion of the army, the population of Zhangxiong should not be less than 10 million.

A nomadic people with a population of 10 million can easily organize an army of millions and make up three or four million men with all their might?

If this is the case, can it still be destroyed by Tibet? To what extent did the Tibetan cattle fork go?

With a population of 10 million, this is only Zhangxiong and not to mention other tribes.

How is it possible that such a powerful country that can be called an empire has not left a name in history?

It's terrible to blow. Whether it is the Old Tang Book or the New Tang Book, Xiangxiong or Yang Tong in it appears as a supporting role, a small ally under the jurisdiction of Tubo.

The most detailed record should be the Tang Dynasty historian Du You's "General Dictionary", which records: "Dayangtong, east of Tubo, west of Xiaoyangtong, north straight to Khotan, more than 1,000 miles from east to west, 80,000 or 90,000 victories." “

And this record is in the decline period of the Tang Dynasty after many years of the Anshi Rebellion, because Du You was a person in that period, and the record will definitely not be the situation in the early Tang Dynasty.

At that time, the national strength was greatly reduced, and the Hexi Dangxiang tribe secretly colluded with Tubo to take the opportunity to invade the Tang Dynasty, that is to say, at that time, Tubo and the sheep under its jurisdiction took advantage of the weakening of the Tang Dynasty's national strength to invade the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhangxiong or Yangtong is in its heyday, and the army is only 80,000 or 90,000 people, and the total population is only hundreds of thousands.

Where did such a country come from with a population of 10 million, dreaming?

In fact, not to mention these things, just talk about the living standards of the people in the 21 st century, what is the level of life expectancy, and what are the medical conditions, the population of Tibet is only about 3 million, and even if you count the population of Qinghai, it is less than 10 million.

Not to mention that at this time, Tuyuhun occupying Qinghai was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun and Tubo are basically equal in national strength, and Tubo is not too strong at all. How many people can there be in Tibet without Qinghai.

Datang migrated to Tuyuhun with more than 100,000 people, which means that the original population of Tuyuhun is only a few hundred thousand, and Datang feels that more than 100,000 people are enough to achieve the purpose of mixing sand.

Now that the Tang Dynasty occupies more than half of the area of Tibet, the answer given by the Ministry of Household Affairs is to migrate at least 500,000 people, and the population of Tibet exceeds 3 million. This Nima, there is no end to the.

Sure enough, according to the statistics sent back from the plateau, the land that the Tang Dynasty now occupies is not the population of Tubo, the population of the original Subi country is more than 300,000, the party is more than 50,000, the Tubo people are less than 100,000, and the total population is less than 500,000.

And the population of Tibet, which is less than half of the country's land, is now about 500,000, certainly less than 600,000.

The disparity in statistics made the faces of the household officials crackle, and the ministers who opposed it didn't say anything, only 500,000 aborigines, and the real Tubo people were less than 100,000, in this case, the imperial court finally decided to emigrate more than 200,000 people, which was quite a high proportion.

In addition, the nomads chase water and grass and live well, and are not good at farming, and the population growth cannot be compared with the Han people, and it will not take many years for the population of the Han people to catch up with and surpass the aborigines, and then the rule of the Tang Dynasty here will be much more stable.

The matter of immigration is the most important task of Li Chengqian, the prince of the prison country, this guy has been in charge of the country almost every year in the past few years, and he has done a very good job, so Li Shimin is relieved and bold to take a boat to Luoyang.

It is said that taking the waterway is faster than the land route, especially down the river, or from the Loess Plateau located in the second stage to the North China Plain in the first stage.

That guy can't stop crying on both sides of the river, the light boat has crossed the ten thousand mountains, uh, this is suitable for the Yangtze River, especially the Three Gorges section, and it is a little reluctant to use it in the waterway from Weishui to Guangtong Canal and then to the Yellow River, well, forget it, anyway, that's what it means.

Departure at the beginning of February, the mighty royal car more than ten days later drove to the Xianren Palace, which had to be left on the land route to the emperor's travel with the concubines, courtiers, and guards, the frame of countless flags and displays, a day can walk thirty miles to die, want to come to the Xianren Palace without walking for a month or two is impossible to arrive.

But it's that fast to take the waterway. Xianren Palace is not far from the west of Luoyang, it is a palace outside the city in Luoyang, also called Qingcheng Palace, the first stop to stay here, Li Shimin is also a revisit.

"In the second year of Wude, Wang Shichong was proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, and I led the army to conquer at that time, and now this piece is a battlefield back then." Li Shimin said to the left and right with emotion.

"That's right, back then, the old minister followed His Majesty here to kill a refreshing one. Your Majesty, do you remember, when the minister followed you to inspect the mausoleum of Emperor Xuanwu of Wei, Wang Shichong led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to suddenly kill, and later Qu Tutong led troops to reinforcements, and defeated Wang Shichong's army in that battle, and captured its champion general Chen Zhiluo alive, and Wang Shichong finally escaped alone." Speaking of the Jin Ge Iron Horse back then, Wei Chigong, a participant in person, was also very impressed.

"Yes, speaking of which, thanks to Jingde, if you hadn't blocked Shan Xiongxin, you jumped on your horse in time and shouted, stabbed Shan Xiongxin off the horse, and finally protected me from the encirclement, I would have been killed on the spot by Shan Xiongxin's stab." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Where, Your Majesty's destiny returns, even if there are no ministers, Your Majesty will definitely be safe." Wei Chigong's face was straight, but the sycophants came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hahaha." Li Shimin laughed.

"Let's go, let's go in, you can also take a good look at this Xianren Palace, which was stationed here for a while when I conquered Wang Shichong." Saying that, Li Shimin walked in first.
