Chapter 82: The Dawn (I)
After thinking for a while, Wang Fangyi said: "The ministers have a way, but it may not be appropriate. ”
"Tell me about it."
"In terms of the history of Ashinache and Qarluq, the Dulu Khan was defeated by the Khan and fled to Tocharo. Shooting the Khan and attacking the Les Chuan's Yehu Helu, Helu defected to our court Tingzhou, part of Ge Lulu came with Helu, and some continued to stay in the west of Jinshan, merged into the nose of the car, Taizong once sent Guo Guangjing to welcome the two departments, but did not enter the court. Later, he sent Hanwha to greet him, but he still refused. So Li Fu led the Hui Hui to attack with the Fugu Department, and the three surnamed Ge Lulu took the initiative to cooperate with our court, divided the nose of the car into two, and placed it in Hanhai and Shan Yu Erdu Hufu, so that the nose of the car was destroyed. The remnants of the Qarluq and Chebi tribes are scattered in the Jinshan, Wolf and Oude Mountains. This is the fate of the main body of the Chebi tribe, and there are also some people who fled westward to form a new race with other tribes, which is the origin of the Chebi tribe. Although they became part of the Turgish, they had a slight difference in their habits. The nose of the car and the Qarlu department are still black, and the nose of the car is also black, so the Tuqi Shi internally calls them the black surname. And the Wuzhile Wang clan and the people of their own clan are still Huang, also known as Huang surnamed Tuqishi. ”
Li Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Although they are other tribes of the Turgish, their strength cannot be underestimated, such as the rebellion of the Che Nose without the consent of Uzil. It is possible that Uzile is waiting, or it is possible that he acquiesces, but Uzile is also only restrained and tolerant to them. If His Majesty wants to dismember them, he can only start from here. His Majesty made a book, set up another state, and stationed the Chenose Department. In addition, he set up Ashina Touchturo as the Khan of the Western Regions, and ordered through his mouth to let Wuzhile be the protector of Ye. Then select a talent from the nose of the car to protect the second leaf. It can not only show His Majesty's grace and generosity, but also allow Touchelo to take the opportunity to buy people's hearts. But the minister is still very worried, the Che Bi Shi Department has his own ideas, and the minister can be successful in this plan. But if they are loyal to the Turks, they will have more opportunities to grow. ”
There is still a way.
If that's the case, the Chebi Shibu has a criminal history this time, and the imperial court has not dealt with it, and if you want to deal with it, you can find an excuse at any time.
But in the end, it is an excuse, and it will lead to a series of consequences.
His wisdom is superhuman, and after getting along with Li Wei for so many days, he somewhat understands Li Wei's real intentions.
The river also has to be managed, but it is not the main purpose of the emperor's visit.
If it is the crown prince, he must not leave the capital at this time, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of him, he cannot retreat half a step. Otherwise, after the death of the Emperor, anything can happen. But he has already won the title of emperor, and the righteousness has been obtained, and it is a good thing to leave the capital. Emperor Taishang had a lot of ideas at this time, but when he arrived in the Western Regions, no matter how much he thought about it, Emperor Taishang could only sigh with joy. In case something happens to the emperor, isn't the emperor the emperor? Could it be that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Qinghai drank the northwest wind? Maybe after the Western Regions are pacified, more than 100,000 people can easily be pulled from the Western Regions. The emperor led hundreds of thousands of troops into Beijing, can it be regarded as a rebellion?
This was a wise approach, and the main reason why the emperor came to the Western Regions.
But there is a premise, the Western Regions can't be too chaotic and drag its feet.
So far, everything seems to be dancing at the emperor's pace.
For example, the envoys of the countries in the river, the emperor said how it was, and the envoys of various countries quarreled about it, and stayed in the barracks for the past few days, arguing during the day and arguing at night. But isn't it? No, even if Hezhong pays 500,000 taels of silver a year, it is impossible for Li Wei to lead the Tang Dynasty army to directly confront the big cannibals again and again. There is a possibility of fighting, but it is also a stealing engagement. Having said so many things, including asking for money, this is to show that the Tang Dynasty has changed its policy towards the Hezhong region, and with our backing, resist boldly.
It can't be said that this practice is harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, once the Great Eclipse swallows up the river, it will threaten Broken Leaves, and it can even shake the situation in the entire Western Regions. I don't plan to eat in the river, and I can't let the big cannibal cross the thunder pond by half a step.
Therefore, there is a need for a stable environment in the Western Regions.
Li Wei pondered for a while, and said, "Let's wait, send some more scouts, and go to the Turk to investigate." ”
"Whoa."
The various departments were already dividing up the throat, and Li Wei led the army towards Broken Leaf City. At this time, the last two generals also arrived, Qi Ming and Luo Wu carried weapons and baggage, led 2,000 heavy soldiers and 2,000 soldiers of the Qi tribe, after thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally joined the army.
These two fierce generals, as well as weapons, added weight to Li Wei.
Wu Zhile was detained, and he didn't want to go to Chang'an to retire, so he had to persuade the other four surnames. Seeing the arrival of the two tiger generals and a large number of weapons, the other four surnames finally agreed to Li Wei's move.
When they arrived in Shattered Leaf City, all the surnames were already arranging for the relocation of their clansmen.
Li Wei just nodded when he heard it. The five surnames will agree sooner or later, without him, the fist is big in the Tang Dynasty. But along the way, he carefully observed the water conservancy, and a small number of people began to make a living from farming, and the Shaba River has a typical Central Asian climate, dry and rainless. However, there are many rivers flowing down from the snow-capped mountains, and the groundwater resources are abundant. Therefore, Central Asia also has the same long history of water conservancy projects as the Central Plains.
For example, dams, and qanats and culverts. This ensures a source of drinking water for irrigation for the people of Central Asia. Broken Leaf Chuan will also be used in the future, and even Li Wei sent a request to the envoys of Kangguo, asking them to transfer some experienced farmers to come and guide.
Wen Goutong didn't think of anything else, and happily agreed.
This is when we arrived in Shattered Leaf City. In fact, Broken Leaf existed very early, Wang Fangyi built Broken Leaf City, which was expanded on the basis of the original, but the scale of the expansion was very large, with a total of twelve gates, and it became the leading city in this radius of thousands of miles. After the city was repaired, the leaders of the Western Turks came to watch, and they were all unfathomable, and they were convinced.
Putting the captured cattle and sheep on the grassland, Li Wei set out to cultivate the fields.
But I heard good news.
The envoys from the countries in the river have received a lot of news, and when it comes to the great food, it is as if they have been oppressed for 800 years, and they are like Yang Bailao, who is aggrieved and tells all kinds of suffering.
Thirty-two years ago, Muawiya was the governor of Syria, but more than two years ago, Persia fought with the Great Eater of Khadiasia, and Persia was defeated. When Muawiya took over, he led his army to attack the Persians, and a year later, the Persians were defeated again in the battle of Havin. The Persian king Iji fled to the eastern part of Persia. When the Turks heard the news, they came to the rescue, but the Turks were furious and conspired with the husband Taishou Maga to kill the guards of the Isi. Iji fled in a hurry and rested in a mill, but he was covered with jewels, which aroused the greed of the miller, and while Iji was asleep, he cut off his head and threw it into the torrent of the water mill.
Persia lost its king and the dragons were leaderless, and the Great Cannibals quickly defeated the remnants of Persia and the Turks, gaining the entire Khorasan region. But further east, however, there was a remnant of Persia, whose son Belus had stubbornly supported the city and appealed to the Tang Dynasty for help.
Twenty-one years earlier, he had made Belus governor of Persia, and the following year Belus was made king of Persia. Five years later, the Great Eclipse conquered Lower Tocharian (referring to the small states to the west of the Tocharian Kingdom, and Wang Fangyi sent the Ni Nishi to Tochar, referring to Upper Tocharo) and Galgystan (the mountainous area around the city of Jiling). Belus was forced and fled to the Tang Dynasty a few years later. That was also the time when Li Wei came to the Tang Dynasty. A few years later, the city of Jiling was once again submerged into the Great Food and became the Sestan region of the Great Food.
Having obtained the area of the city of Jiling, as well as the Lower Tocharians, the Great Cannibals further encroached on the Upper Tocharians, and twelve years ago, the governor of Khorasan, Aal, crossed the Wuhu River and harassed it. The rabbis who took over also harassed the Transoxiana region. But no large-scale offensive was launched.
By this time, however, Muawiya's regime had been stabilized.
This Syrian governor has finally become a nightmare for the people of the river. The second caliph of the Great Eclipse, 'Umari, was assassinated by a slave of the Sect, and the succeeding Uthman was killed while quelling the rebellion, and then succeeded by Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali. At this time, there was a serious split in the Great Eclipse, including sects, which supported Ali as Shia, but there was also a faction that believed that only staunch Muslims could serve as caliphs, regardless of their origin and social status, called the Kharjites. After years of fighting, the Khargit faction was finally eliminated, but a Khargit element was not convinced, and waited for an opportunity to stab Ali to death in Kufa.
When Li Wei heard this, he was stunned, which reminded him of many things in his previous life......
It's too fierce, it turns out that the terrorist activities are there at this time.
Avia, the governor of Syria, seized the throne because he was from the Umayyad family of the Qurayish clan in Arabia, so the Central Asian countries called it the Umayyad dynasty. After Avia stabilized the Great Eclipse, Central Asia was his birthplace and began to focus on Khorasan. Nine years ago, Ubaidullah, the son of Ziyad, a great eclipse, was appointed to rule Khorasan. Ubaidullah was ordered to cross the Wuhu River, and the first attack was the city of Peiken in Angola. The city was also an important political and economic center in the river, with a dense population and a thriving commercial scene. After a winter of fighting, capturing Peiken City and Lamitan, the Empress Dowager Anguo fled to Kangguo in panic. The shoe was lost that year, and the value was accurately heard, 20,000 dilem (silver coins, in order to promote Islam, the Great Food rewarded the people of the river with two dilem for worship in the mosque. A Buddha statue worth 4,000 tiles in Anguo was destroyed by the Great Food, and a pair of exquisite pearls of the Buddha's eyes were also plundered by it. After the Samanid Empire broke away from the Caliphate, the tax revenue of Central Asia under its jurisdiction amounted to 45 million dilmu. Therefore, it is estimated that one Dilemu is equivalent to more than 200 Wen in the Tang Dynasty).
And that's the beginning.
The Empress Dowager Anguo had no choice but to sign a peace treaty with Ubaidullah, promising to pay a tribute of 1 million dilem to Dashi every year. In this way, Ubaidullah returned to Moufu with four or five thousand slaves, as well as a large number of stolen war wives, gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, clothing, and utensils. Not even the big trees on the side of the road were spared. Ubaidullah returned from his meritorious service, and then came to Khorasan as governor of Ottoman's son Said.
The Empress Dowager An Guo thought that it would be okay to pay tribute. Who knows that this Seid is even more greedy, overturning the treaty signed by his predecessor together and continuing the offensive. At this time, Anguo's wealth was empty, and the soldiers were almost defeated, so they had to surrender. He not only attacked Anguo, but also attacked Kangguo, Zhongcao and other countries in the river, and defeated the coalition army composed of the countries in the river and the Turks. Khora Mazi was also forced by him, and the whole country was not eaten. The Empress Dowager An Guo had no choice but to let more than 80 of the most noble nobles in the country take hostages and send them to her husband.
However, Said's treachery led to the dissatisfaction of the countries in the river, probably because of the great victory of the Tang Dynasty, the countries revolted one after another, including the eighty nobles of Anguo who were taken to Moufu, at this time showed their bloody nature, and assassinated Sede in Moufu, but failed, all committed suicide and died heroically. However, this assassination led to Said's death.
So why did Li Wei go against the norm and demand that the Hanzhong region pay taxes, although some countries opposed it, more countries were in favor of it? That's why if you look at an Anguo, you'll be forced to pay 1 million dillem a year, and the national tribute tax alone will be close to 200,000 yuan. According to the price of silver in the river, it was closer to 300,000 taels of silver. One is 300,000 taels and the other is 3,000 taels, what kind of concept is this? Hearing this tribute, Li Wei, Wang Fangyi, Li Jinxing, and Qi Mingming all glanced at each other almost at the same time.
If an Anguo had paid a tax of one million dileffs, the Tang Dynasty would not have been welcomed in the river. Don't forget, Angola accounts for only one percent of the river and Tocharian in terms of population and area, and at most one-fiftieth of it.
If the Tang Dynasty had really taken these areas as its own, and levied one-tenth of the tax, and the exploitation of the river was not heavy, it would have been possible to collect more than 5 million dilem taxes. 200,000 taels of silver is not worth the Tang Dynasty's temptation, but what about more than 1 million taels or even 2 million taels of silver?
Of course, tyranny also had tyrannical side effects, and the entire Transoxiana region, including Lower Tochar, was like a powder keg that could erupt at any moment. Not only in the Transoxiana region, but also in the Khorasan region, the people are also suffering heavy oppression.
Li Wei had heard some of this information before. But after coming to the Western Regions, I learned such detailed information. After listening to the cries of the various envoys, Li Wei sorted out what they said. I vaguely felt that it was a good time.
But only the timing.
But just then, the scout returned.
In order to obtain more accurate and detailed information, Li Wei sent many scouts, and even gave them a lot of money, and went deep into Baghdad, Damascus and Medina, the major capitals of Dashi. These scouts will come back very late, but some of the scouts are only spying on Khorasan's intelligence, which is also divided into two types: deep and shallow, and the scouts who spy on intelligence in the area around Khorasan have returned with news.
And it's definitely good news!
: Does it count as stuffed information? However, it was so hard, more than a dozen books of information in my hand, different statements, I had a headache to read, and after a simple research, I felt that the most reliable choice was made. It can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the following content. The following chapters should be made up with odd ends as much as possible.
