Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin can be described as a great joy and sorrow these days.
In December, the second day of the first lunar month, when the Turki Khan went to Chang'an to plead guilty, Li Shimin said to the ministers: "In the past, the emperor endured humiliation and proclaimed himself a vassal to the Turks for the benefit of the people, and I often felt sad about this matter. Now the Turkic chiefs kowtow to me, which can somewhat wash away the shame of the past. ”
Since the Sixth Route Army conquered ****** this autumn, there have been great victories one after another, and now there is Tuli to ask for guilt, and Li Shimin naturally deserves to be exposed.
However, the extremes of things must be opposed, and great joy must be accompanied by great sorrow.
On the 17th, Li Shimin relied on the right-hand man of the humerus and humerus, and Fang Xuanling, and called Fang Xuanling, the good minister of the auxiliary state - Shangshu's right servant Du Ruhui, was seriously ill and resigned to Li Shimin.
However, Li Shimin's luck is still bursting, and he is worthy of being the son of luck who belongs to the destiny of heaven, and the road of the Khan of Heaven is soaring and unstoppable.
On the 24th, the Turkic Yu Sheshei led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
On the 11th day of the 12th month of the leap month, Xie Yuanshen, the leader of the Eastern Xie tribe, and Xie Qiang, the leader of the Southern Xie, came to join the Tang Dynasty. The Zhuxie tribe is a branch of the Southern Barbarians, living in the western part of Qianzhou. The Tang court ordered that the location of Dongxie be changed to Yingzhou, and the location of Nanxie to Zhuangzhou, both of which were subordinate to the governor of Qianzhou.
On the 29th, Xie Nengyu, the leader of Ke, and Chongzhou offered tribute, and the edict set up a state in Ke; The leader of the Dangxiang clan returned to the Tang Dynasty and took his settlement as the rail state; He also appointed its leader as a assassin. The party is based on three thousand miles, each surname is a part, not subordinate to each other, fine Feng clan, Fei Ting's clan, Xiang Li's clan, Pochao's clan, Ye Ci's clan, Pang Dang's clan, Mi Bao clan, Tuoba clan, are its big surnames. Bu Lai has been courteous by the Tang Dynasty, the rest of the ministries have come to surrender, the Tang court with its settlements for Feng, Yan, Yuan four states.
At the end of the year, the household department said: The Tang Dynasty returned from outside the Saiwai and the Sifang Yi people returned to the Tang Dynasty before and after the total number of men and women was more than 1.2 million.
When Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, there were 29.09 million people, a total of 5.59 million households, and after the destruction of Chen, the number of households increased to 7.6 million.
When the Sui Dynasty had the largest population, it was the fifth year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, with more than 8.9 million households and more than 46 million people.
After the toss of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population and household registration plummeted, and there were only more than 200 households in the Wude period.
Therefore, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, encouraging childbearing was a basic national policy.
Of course, what excites Li Shimin the most is of course Fang Xu's gasoline and gunpowder.
"Good news, good news for eight hundred miles, great victory in the north......" The soldiers reported the victory, and the hoarse voice came into the Taiji Palace.
The one who came to report the victory was not an insignificant pawn, but Li Jing's personal guard deputy general, and naturally he didn't know the word "big victory".
There is also Li Jing's good news, accompanied by a detailed document written by Ma Zhou.
After reading it, Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed, the smug and arrogant, no one in his eyes made people want to shave his ears.
Of course, no one dared to do this, and the people next to him laughed very cooperatively.
Looking at the small black clay pot containing gasoline and gunpowder brought back by Li Jing's personal guard.
Li Shimin stared at it like a stunning beauty, and said, "Is it this small clay pot that wiped out the entire army of ****** 20,000 elites?" ”
Vice General Li Jing's personal guard replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, it is exactly this thing." ”
Li Shimin asked again: "This is made by Fang Xu?" ”
Deputy General Li Jing replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it is from the hands of General Fang Zhonglang. ”
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Go, give me the power of this small clay pot." ”
Li Shimin was dozens of feet away, watching the ****** burn, the flames soared into the sky, and Li Jing's personal guards threw the fire thunder violently.
Rumble!
The earth shakes and the mountains shake.
The guards around Li Shimin were frightened, not to mention the palace maids and eunuchs.
Li Shimin is worthy of being a generation of British lords and emperors immediately.
At this moment, he was excited. Lian Hu is domineering.
Then it seems to be lost in thought.
After a long time, Li Shimin said slowly to Li Jing's personal guard lieutenant: "Fang Xu is a person who knows how to measure, and ordered him to keep it well, this thing is a secret recipe, and I will set up a firearms supervisor in addition to the weapons prison, which will be built in Tongshan outside Chang'an City, and Fang Xu will be the supervisor." ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked at the gasoline fire that was still burning in front of him, and laughed happily.
