Chapter Twenty-Eight: Governing Tibet

Li Dan came this time to talk about this, but before he said it, Wu Zetian said it first, and he had to be surprised.

"How could I not have guessed something so obvious?" Wu Zetian shook his head and said: "Tubo has high mountains and dense forests, which can be attacked and defended, and it is easy to advance and retreat. Even with the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the wisdom of the Emperor Taizong, he has no choice but to Tubo. If Tibet can be destroyed, it will be a great calamity. San Lang has not moved for so long, he is planning, and he wants to give Tubo a ruthless one. ”

Speaking of this, he gasped a little, took a breath, and continued: "The 580,000 army must be the soldiers of Tubo, and if they are completely annihilated by San Lang, Tubo will be empty, as if it is not defended. And San Lang captured Zampu again, this is a godsend, San Lang can completely let Zampu persuade him to surrender, even if Jishi Mountain is dangerous, there are many dangers, it is difficult to stop San Lang's pace. ”

"......" Li Dan was stunned, his jaw fell to the ground, and his face was in disbelief.

What Wu Zetian said was completely consistent with Li Longji's actions, which was also amazing.

Wu Zetian is worthy of being the only empress in Chinese history, and sure enough, seeing the subtle knowledge, she judged that Tubo was destroyed by Li Longji so quickly.

"Majesty, isn't it?" Li Xian was also incredulous, and hurriedly asked Li Dan.

"Mother, the child admires, admires." Li Dan is convinced.

Li Dan and the others received the good news, but they didn't believe it, and they also accused Li Longji of lying about the military situation. Wu Zetian did not have any doubts, and immediately told Li Longji's actions, and he had to be convinced.

"What are you still doing? Hurry up and send Song Jing to Tubo. Wu Zetian glanced at Li Dan angrily.

For this son, Wu Zetian really didn't pay much attention to it. Li Dan's talent is far worse than her

"Song Jing? What did he send him to do? Li Dan was a little confused.

"What else can be done? Of course, it is to govern Tibet. Wu Zetian was a little helpless.

Li Dan is so talented. He was able to become an emperor. If he hadn't had such a good son as Li Longji, he wouldn't have wanted to be an emperor.

"Governing Tibet? Didn't Saburo and Zhang say? Li Dan hasn't understood yet.

"After San Lang destroys Tubo, there will be greater movements, and he will destroy Tianzhu." Wu Zetian had to mention something, and said: "In the past, there was no chance to destroy Tianzhu, but now that the opportunity has come, San Lang will definitely not miss this God-given opportunity." ”

"Mother. It can't be, right? Tianzhu is too remote, what good can it be to destroy Tianzhu? Li Xian interjected.

"You." Wu Zetian took a look at Li Xian, and then looked at Li Dan, these two sons are generally good-looking, they have no extraordinary talent, and they can't even understand such an obvious thing.

"There will be a battle between Datang and Dashi sooner or later, and Datang must prepare as much as possible. This preparation, in addition to ordnance, grain and grass, there is also the occupation of important land, Tianzhu is a very good land. Get Tianzhu. There are so many benefits. Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Think about that Wang Xuance." With 10,000 soldiers, he can sweep half of Tianzhu, and now San Lang has hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, can he not destroy Tianzhu? Sending Song Jing over first is to straighten out the affairs of Tubo as soon as possible, and San Lang will send troops to Tianzhu as soon as possible. ”

Wang Xuance borrowed 10,000 soldiers, and pushed half of India Asan, which happened not long ago, this is a legendary story of the Tang Dynasty, as soon as this matter was mentioned, Li Dan was in high spirits and said: "Xie Niang mention it, I'll do it." ”

Li Dan said goodbye to Wu Zetian, came to the court, summoned Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, Zhang Cambodia, Yao Chong, and Song Jing, said what Wu Zetian meant, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"That's right! Be sure to destroy Tianzhu! Wang Xiaojie stood up violently and shouted loudly: "Destroy Tianzhu and then fight the Great Food, and the chances of Datang winning will increase greatly." ”

"That's right!" Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia, Yao Chong and Song Jing echoed in unison.

"Song Jing, you should rush to Tubo." Li Dan said.

"Yes." After Song Jing received the order, he cleaned up a little and went straight to Luo.

Li Longji summoned Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, Yang Siqiao, Xue Zhi, Su Fan, Li Kuan, Zhang Xiaofei, Pei Xiaoke, as well as the generals, as well as Gesang Licuo, to discuss the matter.

Gesang Licuo is a shrewd person who is very proficient in the art of war, which makes Li Longji greatly appreciated, and this is a talent that can be created. Moreover, this person is loyal and loyal to Tibet, and after surrendering, he was also loyal to Li Longji, and it was Li Longji who asked him to participate in this matter.

The Tang Dynasty was an open dynasty, there were no national differences, as long as there was talent, it would be reused. For example, famous generals such as Heiya Changzhi, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, and Li Guangbi are all of different races, but they took high positions in the Tang Dynasty.

"When I look at your faces, I know that you are glad. That's right, I'm also happy, destroy Tibet, who can not be happy? Li Longji changed his words and said: "Destroying Tubo is not the end, it is only the beginning, there are still many things we have to do, there are two main things: one is to govern Tubo, and the other is to destroy Tianzhu." ”

"Destroying Tianzhu?" An exclamation sounded, and the generals were greatly surprised.

They had never dreamed of destroying Tianzhu, so they couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's right, it's to destroy Tianzhu." Li Longji nodded heavily, affirmed, and said, "You heard it right. ”

"Why do you want to destroy Tianzhu?" Zhang Xiaofei was straightforward and asked first.

"yes." The generals echoed in unison.

"Let's postpone this matter, let's talk about how to govern Tibet." Li Longji said: "Defeating Tubo is not the end, it is just the beginning, and it must be managed well." If it can't be managed well, there is no difference between beating it down and not beating it down. Tell me how you want to govern Tibet. ”

If you can't manage it well, what is the difference between not being able to do it well and not being defeated? It's better not to fight.

Defeated, can not govern, this is the characteristics of nomads, such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turkic, these nomads, although they admire the Central Plains, want to enslave the Central Plains, but they can't govern, just use the Central Plains as their warehouse.

The one who can really be defeated and governed should be the Mongols, and Kublai Khan is the culmination of it.

Fighting down and being able to govern well is the characteristic of China, and our ancestors conquered every place. can be governed. Yes. Our territory is getting bigger and stronger.

The Tang Dynasty was confident that it would govern Tibet well, so it had to act.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Shuo, waiting for him to give an answer.

Zhang said that he is the first in the world in terms of strategy, and he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and this matter of governance will inevitably fall on his shoulders. As for the generals, if they want to charge into battle, there is naturally no problem. Let them rule Tibet. That's to embarrass them.

"Gesang Licuo, you are a native of Tibet, how do you think you should govern?" Zhang said that he didn't have an idea, and asked Gesang Licuo.

"This ...... I'm new, it's hard to say. "Kelsang Licuo wants to avoid suspicion.

"If you have any ideas, just say it. The reason why Datang is strong is that it can make people speak freely and accept what is good. Li Longji encouraged Gesang Licuo and said, "You are one of the poorest people in Tibet, and you can become a general. What you have experienced is very human, and your ideas and insights must be unique. ”

"The prince is so loving. That's what the last general said. Seeing that Li Longji was sincerely asking him to speak, he did not shirk and said: "The last general thinks that if you want to govern Tibet, you only need to do two things well: one is a slave, and the other is hereditary. ”

Tibet is a slave society, and those nobles are slave owners, who have the power to kill and take away slaves.

Slavery in Tibet continued into modern times and was not abolished until the establishment of the Republic.

If the Tang Dynasty could abolish slavery, it would be able to get the support of the Tibetan slaves, and with their support, the Tang Dynasty would be able to get the Tibetan slaves.

Tubo implements a hereditary system, and official positions can be hereditary, and the important ministers such as big discourses, small discourses, and whole affairs are all high-ranking officials because of the blessings of their ancestors, not because of their extraordinary talents.

These people have held official positions, and they have achieved nothing but prestige.

This makes it impossible for those who are talented but of low status to move forward, such as Kelsang Licuo.

"Good! You can say that again! If the Tang Dynasty did it, Tubo would be calm, and Li Longji and Zhang Shuo praised it in unison.

"This alone is not enough, we have to abolish the sub-feudal system and implement the county system." Li Longji's eyes flashed, and he said: "Anyone who dares to obstruct the implementation of the county will be killed." ”

The reason why there are so many problems in Tibet is that the sub-feudal system is also one of the important reasons. The ministers of Tibet owned their own land, owned private armies, and owned many slaves.

If you want to stabilize Tibet, you have to abolish the feudal system and implement the county system. As long as this is successful, those noble slave owners will not be able to have power, and they will not be able to make waves.

"The prince is wise." Zhang said that he very much agrees with this.

"I also want to run a school in Tubo, build a school hall, and select smart children to enroll, so that they can become officials." Li Longji said again.

If we want to stabilize Tibet, it is not enough to abolish the slave, hereditary, and feudal systems, and implement the county system, but also to run schools, export Han civilization, and let the Tubo people accept Han civilization, learn Han civilization, and assimilate them.

This is Huaxia's forte.

An American historian exclaimed after studying Chinese history: China has always been good at assimilating conquerors.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, nomads invaded the Central Plains and were finally assimilated; During the Song and Song dynasties, the Khitans, Jurchens, Mongols, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty all flourished for a while, but were eventually assimilated.

Why is this happening?

That is because the Han civilization is highly developed, far from being comparable to these ethnic minorities.

As long as the Han civilization is promoted in Tibet and the Tibetan people become a part of the Han civilization, the land of Tibet will be as stable as Mount Tai.

For this point, Princess Wencheng did it when she entered Tibet, Tang Taizong deserved to be the emperor of the cow, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, sent a large number of people to bring Han civilization, and reversed the situation that Tubo was deeply influenced by Indian civilization in one fell swoop.

With this good start, it's much easier to do this.

The general direction is determined, and the rest is the details. Then it was decided that Zhang Shuo would take the lead in promoting the matter.

Zhang said that he was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and this kind of governance would inevitably fall on him. (To be continued......)
