Then everyone looked at the sky together, and the moon was sparse in the sky, and a huge bird flew above everyone's heads with a flash of fire. The shape of this bird has never been seen before, and it is very large, although it is so tall from everyone, it looks like the size of a house, so high, and how big it is, everyone can imagine. Nearly 10,000 people were shocked by this vision, and the birds fell silent, so they heard the chirping of birds faintly in the sky. The big bird finally flew above everyone's heads, very tall, but because it was big, it could still see the shape. The big bird circled over the crowd's heads a few times before spewing out golden debris.

There are such things falling down, and they are definitely not mirages, or eyes are dazzled.

Everyone knelt down together, and Li Wei also knelt down.

Pei Xingjian tugged on his arm, and Li Wei said in a low voice: "Divine Bird, kneel, this kneeling may be able to kneel for a hundred years of peace in the southwest border." ”

"But ......"

"You can't speak at this time."

“……”

A large amount of golden debris floated above everyone's heads, and then the big bird seemed to nod its head in the sky and flew back again.

Only then did Xinuluo come over and ask, "Prince, what kind of bird is this?" ”

Although these tribes in the south are divided into raw bureaucrats and familiar bureaucrats, they are familiar bureaucrats, and the degree of civilization is far less than that of the Central Plains. The real dragon came, but his face was as white as the earth. Shinura was frightened.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Xinuluo, have you heard about the four divine beasts?" What is the green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, the Xuanwu in the north, and the south? ”

This is still known, and replied, "Suzaku." ”

"Exactly, this is the divine beast Suzaku, it is this alliance of all races that moved the heavens, and the Suzaku came down to bless us. Today's alliance needs to be remembered by everyone. Li Wei said loudly.

Even the divine beasts and horses have come out, besides, all races are peaceful, there is no need to fight, and relatives will not die in battle, they are all happy things, even if there are still a few people who are dissatisfied, their faces are full of surprise. In short, this is a good sign, all the people who came over drank and sang and danced, and that night, I don't know how many people on the shore of Erhai Lake did not get up because they were happy and drunk.

Li Wei retreated.

……

"Zhu Qing, Liu Guard, how do you feel?"

"It's so cold," Zhu Jing couldn't stop shrinking his neck, in the middle of April, the weather in the south was very hot, and he went up wearing only a single coat, which was originally released on the top of a mountain six or seven hundred meters high, but this time it rose to a height of more than a thousand meters, and it was so cold that he almost rolled up his body on it, and it was not good to sprinkle gold confetti. The main thing is high, stay on it, Da Zhu is afraid that he still has some fear of heights, and his face is scared white, and he has not recovered yet.

Guarding Liu, who was learning to play birdsong with a musical instrument, was still amazed, and said: "Your Highness, no wonder you can really fly so high with such a long rope." ”

Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie were also strange, looking at Li Wei together.

Li Wei spread his hands and said: "Don't look at me, when I dealt with Ming Chongyan, I was helpless, and I studied the ability to pretend to be a god and a ghost, which is also a method." ”

It seems to be troublesome to explain, do you say to them that air is a substance, and it also has weight, and what is dense? So where did you learn it? Or did you hear it from a distant country? It's better not to say it.

He also said: "We can't disrespect ghosts and gods, but we can't let some people borrow the theory of ghosts and gods, pretend to be ghosts, and deceive our eyes, let alone waste national strength and people's strength because of pretending to be gods and ghosts." ”

"Whoa."

Of course, the principle is very simple, just make a hot air balloon with a lot of cowhide and have wooden sticks in it to support some shelves, so that the hot air balloon can be inflated into the shape of a bird. The cowhide is bulky, uses hot air, has a limited load capacity, and is very backward, but the only benefit is safety.

But even so, more than a dozen people who know the bottom are still surprised, after all, this is the first time that human beings have gone to the sky.

……

Since the news spread, some more distant tribes have come to vote. Li Wei is also interested in opening up the territory. But with Tibet, the southwest is not at peace after all. If there is no Tibet, the ethnic groups in the southwest are not like the north, but even to the south, the country of Pi with its gods and horses is not very strong, and most of them are settled, and they are easy to manage and can be subdued.

So Li Wei is not very interested, this is self-knowledge, and it is also what Pei Xingjian admires about him.

The hastily divided the territory for them, and after he left, he spread out thousands of square kilometers of land. But the time to leave is a little late, and pretending to be a ghost is a helpless move. It is very complicated, the southwestern tribes rebel and surrender from time to time, not only the Tang Dynasty officials, the provocation of Tibet, the contradictions of each tribe itself, but also some tribes have ambitions to grow, such as the current Mengshe Zhao, he saw some ambitions in the eyes of Xinuluo's son Luo Shengyan, although this time Li Wei rewarded Mengshe Zhao the most......

Helplessly, get a divine bird out and make them afraid.

But there is another reason, backward, the common people are very poor, and seeing that because of civilization, the people in the north live well, so they become greedy, and even the "king" can't eat enough, and people can do anything when they are hungry. Therefore, Li Wei thought about it, and let his soldiers be familiar with agricultural affairs, and even he himself came forward, and it happened that many people from all departments came to the Great Alliance of All Nationalities, so he taught them to make Jiangdong plows, advanced farming, and even taught them to make terraces, that kind of new waterwheel.

This is to maximize their ability to eat their bellies, and then set up grass markets in their tribes, these so-called small tribes or small countries of gods, sometimes a village is a small country, it is simply inexplicable, the materials are monotonous, there is a lack of materials, and they are also not self-sufficient, they cannot be self-sufficient, they will not be safe. Setting up a grass market is so that they can exchange with the outside world, and with their own production, they can exchange for the materials they want, then they will work hard to produce hunting, and they do not need to obtain it through looting. If there is no looting, you will be able to keep to yourself.

In short, Li Wei put his heart into it.

But Li Wei has always been very hesitant to teach civilization. If you teach them to make bamboo paper, recognize Chinese characters, and even all kinds of books. There are two results,The first result is sinicization,National unification。 The second result is to have a "awakening" of a god horse, and then like the later Western Xia. It seems that there has been a history of **, which has caused harm to the Tang Dynasty, and has been hesitant, so he forbears.

This teaching is more than half a month.

The lakeside where Li Wei camped was bustling every day. These chiefs didn't know the careful eyes in Li Wei's stomach, but they saw that Li Wei was teaching with his heart, and they were very grateful in their hearts. After the teaching, he then assisted them in erecting boundary markers to determine the boundaries of the tribes. and then divided the official positions, more than 10,000 small tribes have become a state of bondage, and the chiefs of each department are assassins. Of course, if you don't need to be paid by the imperial court, it doesn't matter if you hold a nominal position. Li Wei is the marching marshal of Yaozhou Road, and he has this right. However, there are dozens of major clans with meritorious service, and there are other rewards, what kind of general or other Yunyun, that Li Wei can't be the master.

But this time the court moved a little fast, Li Wei did not leave, the holy decree was issued, and Xinuluo and others were rewarded. The main thing is to be happy and defeat the Tibetan ...... It's just that Xue Rengui killed a little ruthlessly, almost all of the more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers were killed, and only nearly 2,000 Tubo prisoners were sent to Luoyang.

Xue Rengui and Liang Jishou and others, the imperial court has not yet been awarded. They also need to leave with Li Wei and wait......

Of course, Li Wei did not forget to promise Bi'er, and asked all tribes to cooperate and caught more than 20 peacocks, which were to be brought back to the capital.

Then Li Wei left Erhai, that day, countless chiefs and people came to see each other, the barbarians were barbaric and uncivilized, but their hearts were real, one by one they were crying, and some beat their chests and feet. Express your gratitude.

Liang Jishou said: "General Xue, maybe Yaozhou may still be a good place in the future." ”

Yaozhou is poor and barbarians, so the officials are reluctant to come, some of them are demoted, and some officials with bad reputations come, the officials are not good, and the people are fierce, so bad things happen from time to time. But the crown prince is equivalent to the people, it is not so difficult to govern, and the area is large, it seems that it is not so difficult to govern. On the contrary, it is really easy to make political achievements.

Pei Xingjian shook his head and said, "Liu Xianggong is right, if it weren't for His Royal Highness's personal visit, the southwest would be uneven. ”

The peace he refers to is not peace, but peace, including governance. One is the crown prince's talent, and the other is the prince's prestige. Anyone else, unless His Majesty the Emperor came in person, would not have such a good effect.

Di Renjie didn't speak, but his eyes shone brightly.

The chiefs of these barbarians kept sending each other, taking tents all the way to Yaozhou, before reluctantly stopping.

The way back was still Rongzhou, and he didn't dare to go to Yunzhou, for fear that the Tubo people would be angry and send troops to retaliate. Out of Rongzhou, you can finally see the breath of civilization. Li Wei let out a long breath. As soon as he set off, he ushered in the imperial court's envoy, and the will was somewhat unexpected, so that Xue Rengui served as the governor of Yaozhou, and Liang Jishou was probably because many chiefs wrote letters to pardon capital crimes, and assisted Xue Rengui in governing Yaozhou as a white-clothed person. Liang Jishou originally had several generals under him, and he was pardoned for capital crimes and had some positions. About the imperial court has not heard the specific news of the southwest, and is afraid that the southwest will be temporarily pacified and will not be able to settle down, so these two members will continue to sit in the town.

Zhu Jing said: "This must be done, otherwise in the future, the generals will not be afraid of defeat, and there will be many actions to underestimate the enemy, misleading the country and the people." ”

Li Wei looked at the mountains in the west, did not speak, afraid of defeat, the Tang Dynasty army is no longer the Tang army of previous years, Dafeichuan is just a beginning. But it was not said.

I don't agree with it in my heart, Yaozhou is stable, even the iron bridge has been destroyed, and the two generals are in charge, which is quite a waste. But he couldn't reverse Lao Tzu's thoughts, so he said goodbye to Xue Rengui and the others, continued to go north, and arrived in Yizhou.

Yizhou officials greeted them from afar, accompanied them all the way, and walked towards Yizhou City. Suddenly stopped in front of a mountain, Li Wei pointed at it and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Yizhou Thorn Shi said: "This is the will of the Holy Lord. ”

"Holy Decree," Li Wei muttered meaningfully, and then walked over slowly.

I thought about it again, and I started again. But it's good for the people of the country...... Lao Tzu's vision is still very vicious, and he is also a person who does practical things.
