There are many ways to war, and it doesn't have to be a real fight to the death. XsHuoTXt

Now the disadvantage of the Great Min is the strength of the troops, the real history of the Battle of Dafei Sichuan Tubo against the Tang Xue Rengui, on the Qinling mobilized 440,000 troops, even if this era does not achieve a complete victory, the mobilization of 200,000 Tubo with all the soldiers is not a problem, Li Jin has only 70,000 troops at hand, or scattered on the Himalayan border, if you really want to fight, you will basically fall into passive defense, which is the disadvantage of Damin.

However, Damin is not without advantages, this is Li Jin's comprehension, strong economic strength.

About seven or eight days later, the weather-covered from the plateau with altitude sickness back, the haggard and unadult-looking Tang Laosan was still excited to find his father, leading more than 50 yaks, driving more than 1,000 green sheep to the Governor's Mansion Taxation Department, after queuing for a long time to check, holding the ticket stamped with the tax stamp, and leaving Yadongguan with the convoy in a chic manner.

The inside information of Curly Beard is that there is as much tax exemption as he can buy from the Tibetan Plateau.

From 10 percent to 100 percent, this tax is simply murderous, and the merchants who got the inside information are really like wolves, and in a short period of time, they bought all the surplus grain and livestock from the neighboring Tibetan tribes, so that the governor's mansion is almost full of cattle and sheep.

However, the tax department, who was passing by Sven in a carriage and was busy driving sheep, once again sent an envoy to Tibet, showed a heartfelt smile on the face of the handsome man from the family.

It was still difficult to pass through the knife wind of the Nathula Pass, and once again arrived at the large military camp where the Assassin Ling Brother Gui gathered several large parts of Tubo, so that the welcome of the fox was obviously much warmer than a few days ago, and before the camp area, more than a dozen tribal leaders had already come from afar.

"Oh, I've seen Lord Linghu, I haven't seen him for a few days, and my demeanor has a little more charm, I really deserve to be a child of the Guanzhong family!"

The one who spoke was the owner of Dongdai who had no Lu. Da Yan was happy, but his armor was completely the same as the Tang Mingguang armor, and his red face did not have the small pigtails that the Tubo people had tied in the past, but the serious Jinxian crown, if it wasn't for a slightly obese body, and a plateau red face, it would be the same as the old man in the Beijing Division.

As soon as the people from the Lu family finished speaking, a thin monk like a bamboo pole also grabbed Ling Hu's hand and invited enthusiastically: "Lord Linghu is coming from afar, it's not the time to catch up with the old days, the old monk has prepared butter tea in the tent, Lord Linghu should go with the old monk to warm up." ”

After contact with the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism began to spread in Tibet, and after the last confrontation, Buddhism seemed to overwhelm Bon, began to spread out, Tibet is a religious country, Zampu represents divine power and royal power, so many noble families are also monks.

However, the monk of Tubo is completely different from the monk of the Han Dynasty, in addition to shaving the ordination and living in the temple, the woman does not need to be taboo, and the power is greater than that of the family, after all, the exploitation of the slave tribesmen by the lord of Ru and the lord of Dongdai will also cause resentment, and the foolish people who worship the Buddha are wholeheartedly.

It is precisely because of the rise of the power of Buddhism caused by the addition of the aristocracy that the Buddha has become quite important in Tibet, and the monasteries that occupy a large number of lands have raised monks.

Such a warm welcome ceremony didn't look at all because it was the same group of people who locked Ling Huqian out of the door a few days ago, it looked funny, Ling Huqian didn't break it, but nodded modestly and politely: "In this way, I thank you for your kindness." ”

In the large military camp, the yak tail banner of the Chinese army is not there, and the commander who came to see this time, Brother Tingling, is not in the barracks, and glanced at it with interest, followed by the Tibetan monks and a group of Tibetan nobles into the tent, Ling Hu asked meaningfully: "Why is Lord Ru not here today, is it not to hunt?" ”

Ru is the administrative and military unit of 10,000 households in Tubo, and the lord of Ru is Brother Gui of Thorn Ling, the commander of Tubo this time, in the name of hunting, Brother Gui of Thorn Ling gathered all the Dongdai near the south near the Naitula Pass, so Ling Hu Qian had this question.

But listening to this question, the old monk who pulled Ling Fox into the tent didn't have a house. Kari Lunzan scratched his bald head with particular disdain.

"Hunting? Heh, Brother Tingling was called back to Luoqi City by Zampu. ”

touched the hot butter tea handle, which made the smile on the fox's face even stronger.

As I said before, Damin is a commercial empire, capitalism is sprouting everywhere, and the vast territory can produce all the products and luxury goods that people need, because of this, if you want to be rich, you have to deal with the Min people, almost all the large and small tribes in Tubo have business dealings with Damin, and some Tubo people even directly act as middlemen, and transport the goods of Tianzhu to Chang'an through the right to make a profit.

In this era, Tubo was still semi-nomadic and semi-farming, and the Datang science and technology support brought back by Lu Dongzan in history was robbed by Li Jie, the broom star who was born out of nowhere, and now Tubo has not entered farming, and after making friends with Damin, the nomadic herding industry that cannot feed many people has become more developed.

Nearby Damin, a major agricultural producing area, exports cheap and delicious rice, and many people are reluctant to cultivate barley except for barley wine.

Tibet was still a slave society at this time, and the slave owners relied on the slave-like people to make a fortune and live a luxurious life like a prince, especially in recent years, groups of slave owners were even more degenerate, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, these days, Damin suddenly raised tariffs, grain, imports were greatly reduced, barley wine, butter tea, yak dried Tibetan silver and other special products export is also becoming more and more difficult, the biggest loss is the slave owner class.

Zampu Mangsong Mangzan wants to take back the power from the Gar family, and then oppresses the Great Min to establish power, at first the slave owners are quite supportive, after all, it is also the fun of the nomads to go to the border robbery point, but in just a few days, the revenge of the Great Min came, and many people could not support it.

This is the warm reception after Ling Fox Silk's mission.

If at this time, if there is a male lord in Tubo alive, killing people and taking the Tubo people south to plunder Damin, he can also survive this crisis, and even make Tubo stronger and more powerful, but unfortunately, Mangsong Mangzan does not have this courage.

Recently, Fujian businessmen bought grassland cattle and sheep grain at a large price and even pit the Tibetan people, and when the slave owners who were greedy for money sold out the surplus grain, they found that the Min had not exported too much grain for half a month, and there was not enough food and pleasure, and the slave owners panicked and pressed their emotions on Zampu, who was also supported by slave owners in order to protect the interests of their own class.

This is the effect of the economic war in Damin, which is why Brother Gui of Tingling returned to Luoqi City in such an embarrassment.

Ling Huqian received hospitality in Ru in southern Tubo for two days, and then Brother Gui returned and summoned Ling Huqian in the tent.

Compared with the previous two meetings, this Niang Tubo general, who was in the prime of life and seemed to be a little arrogant, obviously withered a lot, it seemed that he had just summoned Ling Huqian after returning from Luoqi City, and Brother Tingling still had wind and frost on his face, his clothes were full of dust, and there were two more dark circles at the corners of his eyes, he looked listless, and he did not have an arrogant and aggressive momentum.

"Meet Lord Ru, I haven't seen you for a few days, why did Lord Ru's complexion become so bad?"

Typical knowingly asked, showed the talisman, and fulfilled the etiquette of the envoys of the great powers, full of fake concern, which made the fox ask gloatingly.

It's a pity that Brother Tingling is obviously not in the mood to play word games with him, and the blackened panda eyes glared at Ling Huqian viciously, but he weakly threw the hidden knife that was still hanging from his waist on the table.

"Your prince won, my family Zampu agreed not to give a dowry, and at the beginning of next month, you can let Min officials go to Luoshu City to choose the daughter of the clan and kiss."

"This is not very good, my Da Min is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and there is no dowry at all, what do the people of the world think?" Tubo gave in too quickly, but it made Ling Huqian a little embarrassed, and reluctantly took out a gift list from his arms, and the prince Xian Ma held it with his graceful hands.

"My Great Min Rite Department has redrafted a gift list, this year's Tubo New Year's reward of grains and tea can be improved, as well as weapons, I heard that the recent Zampu crusade against the Qingqiang Mitang tribe of the Eastern Female Kingdom, and the Great Min can also open weapons restrictions......"

"Zampu said no, just don't! I don't want any property dowry in Tibet, there is only one condition! ”

"Oh? What are the conditions? ”

"Kiss for kiss!"

Seeing that Ling Huqian couldn't help but shudder, mother. Brother Tingling, this Zampu's henchman slammed his eyes on the black, slapped his hands on the table, his attitude was extremely resolute, and he roared viciously: "Tubo can continue to be loyal to Damin, and Zampu also promised to mobilize 20,000 noble warriors in the country to conquer the Arab barbarians for Damin, but Zampu must marry Princess Chenxi!" ”

Seeing that there was no concession, and even a little crazy, Lord Tubo Ru, for a while, Ling Fox was embarrassed and even frowned.

This is a bit of a problem.
