Full of joy, Lu Dongzan came, full of depression, Lu Dongzan left again. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]
Indeed, Li Jie is rare to be generous, really to the land of six states, near the Himalayas, the fertile Ganges Plain was once the political ambition of the three invasions of Tianzhu by Tibet, and now Tibet is not a giant in later generations, and the millions of people in the new territory are about to catch up with the population of Tubo itself, and the land area is also one-third of that of Tibet.
However, the territory was not taken for nothing, with 80,000 people in Tubo as mercenaries, Li Jie asked him Lu Dongzan to wash all the thirty subject countries under the Jieri Dynasty, which is equivalent to the follow-up war He Tubo has to fight for the Fujian State, originally Lu Dongzan also wanted the benefits and hurried back, but he didn't want to be dragged in Tianzhu.
And he is not allowed to refuse, the previous three Tubo invasions of Tianzhu, each time it is easy to enter, as soon as the army leaves, the Tianzhu people will just lay the land back, although it is indeed a pile of loot snatched back, but in Lu Dongzan's view, in addition to satisfying the luxury of the nobles, there is no benefit to the country.
In order to ensure the stability of the newly acquired territory of the six states, Tubo and Fujian must rely on each other on the Tianzhu issue, so the military strength saved in the decisive battle in the north, Lu Dongzan had to be sadly thrown into the cumbersome siege.
Fortunately, the state of Northern Tianzhu has been weakened to the extreme, and the dragons are leaderless, sometimes as soon as the Tubo army arrives, the city directly opens the city and surrenders, and the resistance is not too fierce, especially in this war, the morale of the Tubo army is particularly high.
In addition to a small number of nobles, the vast majority of the Tubo army is civilians and even herdsmen, Tubo is still a compulsory military service system, there is no money to take for service, the largest income comes from washing the city, although it can not be set on fire to reduce the irritation, for the weakened capital of Tianzhu State, every time to the siege battle, these Tubo steppe people are particularly excited, wearing simple leather robes and armor, holding a broken wooden shield to attack upward, in just one month, the Tubo army swept through the North Tianzhu.
In the northernmost part of the Jieri Dynasty, under the city of Mengtan, the capital of the subject country of Garuda, the hot war scene is also being staged, this is already belonging to Tubo itself, the last subject country, on the city, the Tianzhu people are holding a long Tianzhu bow and shooting down desperately, in the sky, ten counterweight trebuchets have been more powerful and poured coal fire one after another to the city, and the thick smoke of gunpowder burned all over the battlefield, because it is not their own city, the trebuchets of Fujian are particularly excited, and they are very happy.
Fortunately, Lu Dongzan doesn't care about this, what he cares about is how much wealth he will bring to Tubo in the future, how much income from grain and grass, how many slaves he will bring, and how many connections he can bring in in the noble circle of Tubo.
The trebuchet shot wildly, in the end the city of Tianzhu soldiers and horses can not withstand the fear of the red briquette bombardment on the head, panicked retreat a distance, seize the opportunity, the city waiting for a long time Tubo people carry the rod, the ladder is crazy to the city, the pole and the top of the ladder, also with a most courageous sergeant, and the Tang Dynasty, the brave Tubo has never lacked warriors, it seems that the brave and dare to fight is the unique brand of this era, defeat pushed back for hundreds of years, alone and take the lead on the city wall, To face several times more than ten times the enemy, this kind of courage Huaxia can't find a few.
In order to defend their homeland, the Tianzhu people also broke out of their last blood, roaring and fighting desperately with the Tubo warriors on the city wall, but unfortunately, the balance of victory is still tilted a little bit like the direction of Tubo, and a steady stream of Tubo troops ascended to the top of the city along the city wall.
In particular, when the ladder made by the Tang Army was slowly pushed to the side of the city wall, and rushed directly to the city wall like a ten-meter-high inclined ladder like a staircase, everything was doomed.
Even after the opening of the city gate, several elephants rushed out of the city gate frantically under the drive of the elephant slaves, but it was only a flash in the pan, and in less than a quarter of an hour, several war elephants without infantry protection fell under the special elephant-killing spears of Tubo, and as the cavalry of the four guards poured into the city wall, thick black smoke began to spread in the city.
The first unlucky was actually the Brahmin sacrificial monks, who made them the richest and the most faced, one by one the Brahmins in robes cried and cried wildly, and finally accumulated lapis lazuli, spices, gold and jade were coaxed and robbed by the Tubo people, and some gave up their wealth to hold the crazy robbery, but the Tubo people who poured in were stabbed head-on, and the viscous plasma was sprayed on the idol violently, and the mighty and hideous idol became more fearful and pressing.
However, Lord Shiva, who has always been known as the god of war, only sat indifferently on the idol belonging to him and watched the miserable situation of his believers, without any hint of appearing at all.
The frenzied raiding lasted for two hours, and the Tubo soldiers who had released enough **** dragged their tired bodies out of the city slowly, followed by the Tianzhu captives who were tied up with ropes and became a long line, the Brahmin lord and the Shudra slaves were pressed together, and the noble Kshatriya nobles and the untouchable ones he ignored were tied to a rope with their hands.
It is ironic that the Buddha said that all beings are equal, but the real equality of all beings is before the end of the world.
Half of Mengtan City was destroyed in the war, the exquisite statues of gods were broken, the houses collapsed, and the streets were full of corpses, but walking in the city, Lu Dongzan finally breathed a sigh of relief, especially when he climbed the city wall, looking at the huge prisoner of war camp outside the city, there were cars of gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, and beautifully carved statues of gods and Buddhas, all of which were packed into the car, and the corners of Lu Dongzan's mouth were particularly charming.
This time swept Tianzhu actually broke through the twenty-one cities of the sixteen countries, with the cooperation of the Tang army's siege equipment, it was really invincible, even if it was frightened, the fourteen feudal states that sent people to desperately lose their sincerity to Qunu City, were still extorted a lot of money, countless children of slaves, and the wealth of the specific looting Lu Dongzan was no longer countable, and the slaves were also more than 200,000, plus the military exploits of the land, this trip back to Luoqi City, the huge spoils of war will no longer be a nobleman who dares to talk to himself.
Just when Lu Dongzan was so beautiful that his snot was bubbling for the bright political prospects in the future, several cavalry members under the city rushed over, and after a while, Qinling, who had originally organized the army, hurriedly climbed the city wall, knelt down on one knee and said: "Father, the Fujian State has sent an envoy, and King Shuo will hold an enthronement ceremony in two months, and the eldest father is specially invited to watch the ceremony." ”
"Enthronement ceremony? He Li Jie wants to rebel? "I was really stunned for a moment, and then Lu Dongzan came back to his senses, expedition to India, occupy an area and claim the king, Li Jiezhen is no different from rebellion, and occupies such a big foundation, if you don't improve the specifications, your subordinates are easy to become unstable, who is desperate to fight the country is not for the glory of the ancestors and the son of the wife?
"This King Shuo, in the end, let him calculate the old man's head, it's okay, Qinling, you go and screen the spoils of war, and pick out the best products as gifts for King Shuo's enthronement, let's go back to Tubo half a month later to support King Shuo."
"Whoa!" With a promise, and with a shake of his armor, Qin Ling turned around and got ready, and his capable appearance once again made Lu Dongzan nod with satisfaction.
On the other hand, the North Tianzhu on the Ganges Plain also came to a big change, through a large-scale war, Li Jie finally completely controlled the entire inheritance of the King of the Ring of the Sun, and the emperor Luo Shun, who was still on the border to wait and see, finally fled south in despair and went to the kingdom of Chalou Prakoxin II.
For more than a month, the Fujian Governor's Mansion was simply busy, the Tubo army in front of the city pulled through, and left after the robbery, and the Fujian * team that followed quickly took over this mess, saying that it was a mess, but in fact it was Li Jie who was most willing to see, the plundering Tubo army, the first to bear the brunt of the rich Brahmin temple plus the Kshatriya nobles, it can be said that the original Tianzhu power layer was completely broken, and the original high-level ten* either died at the hands of the Tubo army, or was looted.
Now it's good, the old forces are gone, the Kshatriya and the monks who are pointing fingers are gone, the monasteries, the aristocratic grange, this is the great real wealth, smoothly and smoothly into the pocket of the Fujian Governor's Office, the notoriety of killing people is all returned to Tubo, every time Tubo washes the city, every other day, the army of Fujian has entered the city with a savior posture, and also brought a large number of food, clothing, medicinal materials for relief, burying the victims, and suddenly gathering the hearts of the people.
At the same time as the territory expanded dramatically, Fujian faced an embarrassing situation, with an official position and a lack of officials! Before and after this Eastern Crusade, almost all the talents available to the Jiangnan family and the Guanlong Group were sent to Bangladesh, plus the long-term people in Lingnan who were made out by Li Jie, and also provided a large number of scholars and scholars, and even many family officers in the army were split out and directly awarded local official positions, and finally even screened a large number of Tianzhu elites in Qunu City, which finally filled the 26 state capitals and officials needed by the feudal states.
In fact, the official team of Fujian far exceeded the original Jieri Dynasty, during the heyday of the Jieri Dynasty, there were only one or two thousand officials in the country, but the number of officials assigned by Fujian from Bengal reached 20,000, and some official positions that the Tang Dynasty did not have were placed, such as magistrates, judges, police stations, tax officials, agricultural officials, and the huge bureaucracy did cause a bit of lag in the operation of government affairs, but for Tianzhu, the newly occupied area, this power structure was more able to control the city.
The abundance of Tang bureaucrats also brought great changes to Tianzhu, the original piles of temples in various cities have now changed their appearance, a small number of them are still regarded as Buddhist temples, and the rest are more Taoist temples, medical halls, various yamen, especially more out of the Xue Palace, the local Chongwen Museum, began to spread the culture of the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, for a time, the remnants of the Tianzhu noble group, but to speak the Tang language, wear the Tang Dynasty clothes, learn the four books and five classics for pride.
The original social structure of Tianzhu, which had been handed down for thousands of years, was finally cracked by all kinds of hammers in the Fujian State and began to slowly collapse.
However, the territory is bigger, there are more officials, and the power is greater, which has brought new problems.
As a result, the call for the King of Min to be called for the system became louder and louder, and even some close ministers began to persuade them.
As a result, a large delegation carrying tributes from all sides entered Tibet from the foothills of the Himalayas and began to eagerly march to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Half a month later, Chang'an, which has been reduced by half a small scale, in the newly completed Daming Palace, Hanyuan Palace, Gaozong Li Zhi, who has been on the throne for more than a year, was extremely angry and slammed the Fujian edict to the ground, no emperor demeanor at all, he was really manic and threw his sleeves and roared: "He Li Jie is going to rebel, gather the army, I want to personally crusade against him!" ”
His Royal Highness Han Yuan, the few important ministers who were summoned by a few were all chilling, standing at the forefront, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was dressed in a purple robe and had a big belly, looked at the edict that was thrown under his feet, but frowned and .......
