Chapter 132: Envoy to Tibet 2
readx;?everybody! This time about the matter of Tibet, this official arranged it like this! At present, the Mongols are busy with the western expedition and the war against Jin, and they have no time to look south in a short time, and there should not be a large-scale military conflict with our dynasty! Even if they commit a crime, it may only be in the Jingdong area, and the scale will not be too large, with the strength of the Jingdong garrison, it should be enough to deal with it! Therefore, the DPRK will have more troops on the Lizhou side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Nowadays, there are the most Kadampa monasteries in the Tibetan tribes, the most virtuous King Dalongpa, the most powerful master of Drikung Pajing, and the Sakya Panditsu is rich in learning, so the official wants to invite Saban Gongga Gyaltsen to Chengdu Mansion for a talk.
After several days of deliberation, this official and you have decided to send 10,000 elite soldiers to Lizhou to form a mission, carry some gifts, and send an envoy to the Tibetan Sakya sect to meet with Saban, explain our thoughts to him, and invite him to envoy to our court!
The purpose of this trip is to show off their strength to the Tibetan tribes, so that the Tubo people know that our army is not weak, either they choose to submit to our court, or our dynasty will send troops to fight against it, and it should not be a problem to deal with individual tribes in Tibet with the military strength of Lizhou under our court! Let them know that if they dare to take refuge in the Mongolian Tatars, they will definitely be retaliated by our thunder!
I wonder if you have anything else to remind you?
In the lobby of the Privy Council, the decision-making level of the entire Southern Song Dynasty was concentrated, including Hua Yue, Fang Shuda, Liu Dayong and others from the military general line, as well as Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng and others from the civil official department.
In the opinion of this official, it should be possible, the Mongol Tatars have already attacked our dynasty once through the passage of Tibet, and no one can guarantee whether they will do this again in the future, with the strength of the Tubo tribes, it is not enough to fight against the Mongol army at the moment, so even if they do not agree, they can only let the Mongol army force through, and let the Tubo tribes surrender to the Mongol Tatars, it is better for me to subdue them first! In this way, our dynasty can deploy troops in Tubo to help the Tubo people resist the Mongol army, so Sichuan will have no worries from now on!
The tall man admires this plan very much, so the official thinks that this plan is feasible! It's just that this time, I don't know who the prime minister will send to Tubo as an envoy? Jin Deok-so stroked his beard and nodded in agreement, but he also asked his question.
Gao Huaiyuan immediately replied: This time he sent an envoy to Tibet, and this official thought that this candidate must be familiar with various customs and affairs of Tibet, and must understand the Tibetan language, so as to facilitate communication with the Tibetan people! This official has found a suitable candidate in Chengdu Fulu, this person used to be the jurisdiction of the field, and has been dealing with the Tubo people all the year round, and is very familiar with the various customs and customs of Tubo, and also has some understanding of various esoteric religions in Tubo. This person's surname is Zhou Mingcong'an, and now he has been promoted to the governor of Yazhou, and the official thinks that this person can take on this responsibility!
After Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng touched their heads, Wei Liaoweng nodded and said: This person also knows it, but as Lord Gao said, this official has no opinion on using Zhou Cong'an to envoy Tubo!
But Fang Shuda asked Gao Huaiyuan worriedly: Gao Shuxiang! After all, this trip will enter the territory of Tibet for thousands of miles, passing through many areas of Tibetan influence, and this trip will carry a large number of valuables, I am afraid that there will be Tibetan forces coveting these valuable things and attacking our mission, so that the lives of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers will be involved! I don't know what arrangements Gao Shu has for the people who led the army this time?
Gao Huaiyuan turned his head and walked back to the back of the big case in the middle of the lobby, put down the thin wooden stick in his hand, and said with a smile: This matter has already been considered by the official! The jury has long been made for this candidate!
After the official went to Lizhou to quell the rebellion the year before last, he repelled the Mongol army, so he ordered Li Ruohu to lead a cavalry to attack the territory of Tubo, and carried out a crusade against the Tubo tribes that borrowed the way from the Mongolian army.
This Li Ruohu lived up to expectations, led the army to break five Tibetan tribes in a row, killed tens of thousands of Tubo enemies to our dynasty, and plundered back countless cattle, sheep and horses, and was exclaimed by the Tubo people as a god of killing!
This person is familiar with the terrain of Tibet, and is good at controlling troops, witty and bold, and is a good general! Therefore, this official decided to let this person lead the army to escort the mission to Tibet, with him, as long as the general small forces hear his name, they will immediately flee, and he has a 3,000 elite cavalry composed of the remnants of the Western Xia, called the Zhongwu Army, even if it is really in Tibet, encountered a large number of Tubo army attack, as long as he is there, he can ensure that the mission is foolproof!
At this point, everyone present had no other opinions, and the matter was settled, and in early April, a holy decree was sent to Yazhou and Jiezhou, Sichuan, and Zhou Cong'an, the governor of Yazhou, was appointed as the envoy of Tubo Xuanfu, and led the delegation into Tubo to meet Saban, while Li Ruohu was appointed as the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, and led the troops to escort the mission to Tubo.
For this purpose, the imperial court allocated a large number of gold and silver utensils, silk brocade, fine tea, fine porcelain, and some craftsmen, and a lot of things, which were transported to Lizhou by Zhao Kui, who was made by Sichuan, and handed over to Zhou Cong'an and Li Ruohu, and handed over a holy decree to them, as well as Gao Huaiyuan's handwritten letter, and handed them over, so that they could set off from Lizhou, enter the territory of Tubo, and start this long trip to Tubo.
The affairs of the capital have basically stabilized, and all kinds of affairs destroyed by Zheng Qingyi's party have also been restored, and even greatly strengthened, Gao Huaiyuan can basically be said to have controlled the military and political power of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is impossible for anyone to threaten his position in a short period of time.
Zhao Yun was honest in the palace this time, after he talked to Gao Huaiyuan, his heart also cooled, although he was unwilling to do so in his heart, but he also understood that Gao Huaiyuan would never treat him like before, and the current Gao Huaiyuan could tell the world at any time that Shi Miyuan had made him ascend the throne, and come up with enough evidence to invite Zhao Hong back to Beijing and ascend the throne as the emperor.
Although the taste of being a puppet emperor will definitely not be more comfortable than mastering the world by himself, at least he can still enjoy the honor of the emperor with fine clothes and food, but once he annoys Gao Huaiyuan and invites Zhao Hong back to the capital, then he, the puppet emperor, can only be driven out of the palace, and if he doesn't get it, he will end up in a different place.
So Zhao Yun finally chose to hand over all the power to Gao Huaiyuan, and stayed in the palace to be the puppet emperor, and even his jade seal was handed over to Gao Huaiyuan. Even some of the original little yellow doors in the palace have to listen to An Jie's scheduling.
In this way, in Gao Huaiyuan's opinion, there is basically nothing that can threaten him in the government and the opposition at the moment, so he turned all his energy to the rectification of the army.
Under the strong implementation of Gao Huaiyuan and Hua Yue, the commanders of the local commanders finally recognized the situation, and no longer dared to give an edict to the Privy Council, and finally set up all the martial arts halls according to the requirements, and sent elites to the martial arts halls for training.
In the case of abundant funds, in a very short period of time, the Wuchang camp outside the capital was able to be rebuilt, and the original facilities were improved, and Gao Huaiyuan once again made a bad move, setting up a high-ranking officer training class in the Wuchang camp, and issued an edict ordering all the officers above the adjutant general level of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Metropolitan Command Division, who had not participated in large-scale operations, to rush to the Lin'an Wuchang camp in turn to participate in the training.
The requirements are that every general who goes to the Wuchang camp for training is not allowed to bring his female dependents into Beijing, and each person is only allowed to bring two or three accompanying guards to take care of their lives, and it also stipulates a time limit for them to report to the capital from the time they leave for duty, and they are not allowed to take the opportunity to travel at public expense.
After receiving the order, these men had no choice but to get on their horses and rush in the direction of the capital day and night, and the slightest negligence would delay their arrival in Beijing, and any officer who did not arrive within the required time would be immediately demoted by one rank.
In normal times, these officers can be said to be like uncles in the army, clothes come to reach out for food, open their mouths, and hug before and after entering and leaving, where have they suffered this crime! But because the edict was very strict, they could only put down their shelves and hurried towards the capital with their lives.
However, after arriving at the Fifth Standing Camp, they found that this place was simply hell for them, as soon as they reported to the Fifth Standing Camp, their own soldiers would be taken away immediately, and another place would be arranged to participate in another training, and they would have to live in a small room for two people, and strict rules were prescribed for them in food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything could only be done by themselves, and the meals were even simpler, all of them were big pot rice, whether they were officers or soldiers, they all lined up to eat, and they were required to receive their own meals.
And from the second day of reporting, these people will be gathered in the morning, lined up for exercises, and surrounded the Wuchang battalion to go cross-country in full gear, such a cross-country run seems to be nothing, but for these high-ranking officers, most of them can't bear it at all, and they are used to being pampered, and after a lap, they are basically tired and lie down more than half.
