Chapter 296: Fusang
"If you want to rise fast, you still have to rely on military merits, but it is troublesome if there are too many military merits. How many of my Datang veterans don't have a lot of military merits on their hands? But they're not in a good place right now. ”
Li Hao sighed after hearing this, "It's me, as soon as the war between the two fronts ends, it is estimated that I will return to Chang'an immediately, and then I will put Nanshan on horseback." ”
Li Hao could already think of this kind of result, and he was ready to take the initiative to go back to Chang'an. Otherwise, if no one else uses any means, even Li Er himself will not rest assured that Li Hao will not be assured.
Li Hao has been staying here in Lingnan for several years, and he has leveled Shanyue and destroyed Nanzhao in a row, and now with Lin Yi and Fusang, which is about to be destroyed, he doesn't have too many military exploits in his hands.
Although these countries are all small countries, and they are not considered to be introductory roles in the Tang Dynasty, they are a war of annihilation after all. Li Hao is still very young now, and if he is promoted to an official, some of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in Li Second-hand will not be enough for Li Hao's merits.
There is a lot of water in the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, which is completely based on Li Er's personal hobbies and friendships. If you really want to talk about military merits, some people are embarrassed to be on that list.
Wang Xuance was stunned after listening to Li Hao's words, and he didn't know how to comfort Li Hao. But fortunately, he is still a little far from this step now, even if Li Er doesn't need to guard against him after the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate comes out alone.
"You don't have to worry about this for the time being, but don't use troops around in the past two years, a small knock is fine. In addition, my student union has arranged for a lot of positions here, so I have to ask you to take care of them. ”
The past two years have not been very stable, this is Li Hao's speculation. According to the course of history, there was a period of great turmoil in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, and Zhenguan would still use troops against Goguryeo after the seventeenth year.
Therefore, the process of the original history is very likely to continue to happen, this is the result of Li Hao's speculation, and he doesn't know what it will become in the end, so he can only wait to see the specific situation when the time comes.
Annan's victory did not cause much turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, but when the seizures here were counted and sent to the imperial court, the Tang Dynasty was shocked. And Li Hao also took the opportunity to apply to Li Er for permission for private livestock to raise beef cattle on the Lingnan Road side, and then the official slaughtering permit was issued, and the slaughter of cattle began to be allowed here.
This is a big improvement because there are many cattle on this side of Lingnan Road now. Although most of them are buffaloes, it also marks that there is no shortage of cattle in Datang from now on.
Over the years, countless cattle have been seized from Gaochang, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Nanzhao, and now Linyi. The cattle breeding technology under Li Hao's name has also improved a lot, so that the output of cattle has increased a lot, coupled with the wide application of the Quyuan plow, which has saved a lot of animal power, and also made Datang a lot less dependent on cultivating cattle.
Therefore, Li Hao applied to the imperial court for a license to develop a license to slaughter cattle on this side of Lingnan Road, and after Li Shuangzhong's request was reached, he did not hesitate to allow it. At the same time, Chang'an will also allow several companies to slaughter cattle, while other people and places are still not allowed to slaughter cattle without permission.
After the official order for the slaughter permit arrived in Lingnan Road, Li Hao did not immediately open the slaughter permit. Instead, they selectively selected one in each of Nanzhao, Linyi, Lingui, Qiongzhou, Ryukyu, and Guangzhou and Quanzhou to allow slaughter.
As soon as these slaughterhouses opened, the demand for beef went to the point where demand outstripped supply. And the all-cattle banquet launched by Li Hao's restaurants also made the businessmen and wealthy people everywhere boil, and they flocked to it, and the business was very good.
Li Hao returned to Guangzhou Mansion when Tu Zai's permission arrived, and then spent the New Year with his wives. The Wu family didn't come over this year, and they didn't even come here with Xiao Wu and Wu Yue to celebrate the New Year.
I heard that the Wu family was still having a headache about Comrade Xiao Wu's marriage, and at this time, even if the Wu family didn't pay much attention to it, they also found that something was wrong. It's not that her second daughter can't find a partner, but she has someone in her heart. But she didn't know who the person in Comrade Xiaowu's heart was, and she didn't ask anything from Comrade Xiaowu's mouth.
Chen Sanniang became pregnant after returning from Linyi, and now she has become a national treasure in the house. However, several women in Li Hao's mansion have experience in childbirth, and there are now many gynecology and child professionals on Lingnan Road, so she doesn't need to worry too much about her daily life.
As soon as the Spring Festival was over, Li Hao set off from Guangzhou to Ryukyu, and then went to Fusang from there. This time, only Li Hao's students were casual, and Wushun didn't bring any of them, because the conditions in Fusang were very poor, and because there were still children in the house to take care of.
In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, for Datang, not much happened in this year, but every thing had a great impact. First of all, Wei Wangtai was rewarded by Li Er, and since then his arrogance has become more and more arrogant, and the prince Chengqian has become more and more depraved because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, and has been reprimanded by several of his teachers from time to time.
Don't die in silence, just explode in silence. Even if Li Hao is in Lingnan Road, he can still feel the thoughts in Li Chengqian's heart, this baby has been forced by his aggressive brother and others who are fueling the trouble.
In this year, Taizong migrated to Shixi Prefecture, and it was forbidden to injure himself, and Guo Xiaoke served as the governor of Liangzhou, the protector of Anxi, and the assassin of Xizhou. Xizhou was the old capital of Gaochang State, where the soldiers and exiled prisoners lived together, and it was separated from the Central Plains by a desert, so it was isolated from the imperial court. After Guo Xiaoke took office, he comforted the people with sincerity and won the hearts of the local people.
It's just that at this time, after being broken by Li Jing and them, the Turkic Yibi Lu Khan began to toss again, this guy killed Shabo Luo Yehu, attacked Tocharo, and detained the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. He invaded the Western Regions and sent troops to invade Yizhou, trying to return to the supreme honor of his ancestors.
Guo Xiaoke led 2,000 light cavalry to attack from Wugu, and Yibi Lulu sent the Yue and Chumi tribes to besiege Tianshan County. Guo Xiaoke repelled the Western Turks, took advantage of the victory to occupy the city where Yue Qijin lived, and pursued it all the way to the Suo Mountain, collected the secret soldiers at the place, and then returned triumphantly.
To tell the truth, there are really not too many fierce generals in the early Tang Dynasty, on the west side, pick a few out at random, they are all fierce generals. For example, this Guo Xiaoke, who led two thousand light horsemen to start a war with the Turks, can be regarded as fierce enough.
Li Hao didn't pay much attention to these things that could be in the history books, in fact, the things that couldn't be in the history books on Lingnan Road made Li Hao care a little more. For example, the appearance of penicillin sulfonamides, such as the launch of treasure ships, and the beginning of round-the-world voyages.
These things can't be on the official history of the Tang Dynasty, but Li Hao won't let these things be buried. The Southern Weekly adheres to the principle of not talking about the affairs of the imperial court, but it is no problem to report these things. Moreover, the Taoists also deliberately carved stones to record the production of penicillin and sulfonamides, which are actually more meaningful than those chicken feathers and broken skin recorded in the official history.
And the southern side also paid enough attention to the ocean-going global fleet, not only all the merchants from the south came over, but Li Hao also personally presided over the departure ceremony of this voyage. They left this time, and it would be years before they came back.
In addition to these things this year, there is also another heavy stroke, a record that can be recorded in the history books. In the spring of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Hao, the head of the march of Lingnan Road, led the army into Fusang, and won successive battles, and broke Fusang before the winter of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan.
At the same time, the imperial court moved 10,000 households in Jiangnan Province to Fusang, and set up the Andong Protectorate in Fusang. This is very different from the original history, which was not located many years later, and it was not located in Fuso, but on the Goguryeo side.
was brought back by Li Hao here, and at the same time, Fusang's original people were also scattered or arrested by Li Hao. At this time, the war of conquest of Fusang was fought perfectly, and Datang killed Fusang without almost any losses.
In fact, when Li Hao came to Fusang, Xi Junmai had already conquered many places here from the south to the north. Because the two factions before the Dahua reform have now entered a state of turning their faces in advance, the entire Fusang is actually full of chaos.
This greatly facilitated the offensive of the Tang army, and in the era of barbarism and chaos, there was nothing more attractive than being alive and being fed, and the huge influence of the Tang Dynasty on Fusang's side also added a lot.
In addition, Li Hao let the Taoist missionaries take place in advance to preach something, and even set off several rebellions on Fusang's side, which seriously damaged Fusang's strength.
In addition, the slave trade provided by Li Hao with the nobles on Fusang's side in advance also greatly weakened Fusang's strength. Those prisoners who were captured in the war, or the people who were directly captured, were bought cheaply by the nobles here and given to the Tang Dynasty, and then exchanged for food and weapons.
Now when the Tang Dynasty really came over, even if some people of insight here found out that something was wrong and wanted to resist the Tang army, in the end they found that they couldn't even gather a decent army, so they simply committed suicide in shame.
At this time, the people of Fusang, who were too oppressed by the aristocracy, also entered their own resistance, and the Tang Army supported them to carry out various liquidations on the nobles on Fusang's side.
Li Hao divided a part of the land and property of the nobles here to those who led the way or rebelled against the party, and the rest was all the spoils of this war. The soldiers and captives of Fuso were all taken as slaves, and Ryukyu and Qiongzhou and Oceania were divided into many places.
Only a small number of strong people remained on Fusang's side, and the rest were all women and children. Li Hao asked his students to summarize the course of the war, and then sent a copy to the imperial court. In the future, a large number of people need to be relocated from within the Tang Dynasty, and all the soldiers brought by Xi Junmai will stay here, and the Andong Protectorate will also be established on the capital of Fusang.
