Chapter 341: Chang'an Paper is Expensive
After that, Datang and Tubo began to collect the corpses of their respective soldiers.
On the battlefield, many Tang Dynasty and Tubo soldiers are all dying together, many people are firmly entangled with their opponents until death, which makes it very difficult to collect the corpses of their respective soldiers.
Songtsen Gampo said to Lu Dongzan with a lonely expression: "Dazhuo, Datang is a respectable country, after you have recovered from your injuries, you will go to Datang, represent me in Tibet, and express your submission to the Tang Emperor." The strength of the Tang Dynasty and the strength of the combat power made Ben Zampu deeply impressed. Regardless of whether the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty agrees to Ben Zampu's request to marry the Tang princess, Ben Zampu is willing to establish friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty in order to establish peace between the two countries, so as to ensure that there will be no more wars between the Tang Dynasty and our Tubo, so as to avoid further casualties among their respective soldiers and people. For the elite warriors of our Tubo White Yak who participated in this battle with the Tang Dynasty, Ben Zampu obeyed the promise made before the war, pardoned all of them from slavery, let them become free people, allowed them to own their land and their respective slaves, and canonized them as leaders for those who had outstanding military achievements. Whether it is the status of the head or the freeman, it can be inherited by their children and grandchildren, and it will be hereditary. For every warrior, I in Tibet will compensate them, giving each of them twenty horses, yaks, and sheep, and the number of warriors who die in battle will be doubled. With their loyalty and their bravery, they have made great contributions to our Tibet, and we must not treat them badly. ”
And Niu Jinda, the general of the Tang Dynasty, the general of the Kuoshuidao March, and the general of Zuo Wuwei, in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, after compensating the Tang soldiers who participated in the war, got into a prisoner car, wore thorns, and went to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. asked the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and the Tang court for his guilt.
The results of the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo Dynasty reached Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the entire Chang'an City were shocked. The casualty ratio of one to one made the Tang people feel unacceptable, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, foreign warfare, has always been in an advantage, even in the face of the most powerful and fierce opponent - the Turks, there has never been such a casualty ratio. Everyone did not expect that there would be a country with such a strong military strength in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty - Tubo, which could fight such a war with the Tang Dynasty.
Time. The people of the Tang Dynasty were in turmoil, and they had always asked the imperial court to send troops to crusade against Tibet, completely conquer Tibet, and subdue Tibet. A large number of people from the Tang Dynasty came to the yamen responsible for conscription in an endless stream, and asked to join the army, expedition to Tibet, and severely punish Tibet.
The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty also began to collect information about Tibet. Whether it is the history, system, politics, military, culture, and even folk customs, life and other details of Tibet, they have been collected extensively. In order to fully understand this extremely strange country for the Tang Dynasty people - Tubo.
In the tents and study rooms of Li Jing, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ji, the champion general Li Ji and all the Tang generals, the map of Tubo was also hung, and Li Jing, Li Ji and many Tang generals repeatedly presented themselves to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. Ask to lead the troops to fight and suppress Tibet.
For a while, the entire Datang war machine seemed to be about to be launched in full force. It is necessary to completely flatten Tibet. All the information about Tubo in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was also speculated to sky-high prices by the Tang people, and even the ordinary paper in Chang'an rose in response, skyrocketing one after another. The Tang Dynasty, who are proficient in the Tibetan language, has become a rare treasure and has been hired by the palace and various magnates.
Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Palace, and the Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was wearing a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.
The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty consciously lined up in two columns to serve on the main hall according to their respective official positions.
In an open space in the upper left corner of the main hall, there stands a screen, on which hangs a huge map of Tibet.
Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, said coldly: "Tubo attacked my Tang Dynasty without authorization, and under the city of Songzhou, Niu Jinda, the general of my Tang Dynasty, led 5,000 auxiliary troops and Tubo to a draw, and the casualty ratio of the two sides was one to one. Everyone should know about this matter, let's discuss what to do today, right? ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, he heard Cheng Yanjin, the general of the Left Army's leading guard, stand up and shout: "Your Majesty, what else can I do?" Tubo dared to attack my Datang without authorization, my Datang suffered such a big loss, no matter what I said, my Datang will have to be returned, otherwise the surrounding countries, don't they think that my Datang is easy to bully, and they are vying to bully my Datang? The minister is not talented, he is willing to lead the army, conquer Tibet, and humiliate my Tang Dynasty with snow. ”
After that, Qin Qiong, the general of the left Xiaowei, Chi Jingde, the general of the right Xiaowei, Chai Shao, the general of the left Jinwuwei, Duan Zhixuan, the general of the right Jinwuwei, and Zhang Gongjin, the general of the right army, asked the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to lead the army, pacify Tibet, and be ashamed of the snow country.
Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, looked at the generals of the Tang Dynasty who had asked for his life, and said slowly: "My Tang army is ready to use, and the morale is high. ”
At this moment, the right servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu, the criminal department Shangshu, the Tang God of War, and the Duke of Weiguo Li Jing walked out of the queue and said loudly to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister pacified the Jiangnan Xiao Mill for the south of the Tang Dynasty, pacified the Huainan Fu Gongyou in the east, and pacified the Turks in the north. ”
Seeing that Li Jing took the initiative to stand up and ask for the army to conquer Tibet, all the generals did not dare to compete with Li Jing, the first person in the Tang Dynasty military and the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, for the position of commander of the army, so they said one after another: "The ministers are willing to follow the Duke of Weiguo, conquer Tibet, and pacify Tibet, and be ashamed of the Snow Country, and hope that Your Majesty will agree." ”
The generals of the Tang Dynasty collectively sought to fight, which made Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, look happy, but he couldn't help frowning.
Wei Zheng stepped forward and said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to attack Tubo at this time. ”
All the generals glared at Wei Zheng angrily.
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also looked at Wei Zheng with displeasure on his face, and said coldly: "Wei Zheng." Tubo provoked (xin) my Datang so much, and attacked my Datang first, do you think that my Datang should not severely punish that Tubo, and should not severely punish the hateful Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo?
