Chapter 378: The Seventeenth Mission: Zhaozong Returns to the Tang Dynasty 20
When Li Keyong died, the imperial court gave him a high honor and a good reputation. This is a free gift to his son Li Cunqiao. Other honor guards or something, Li Cunqiao had to pay for them.
Anyway, the heroes of the Kanto region hated the emperor of Chang'an one by one, and they were obviously rich and oily, but they still continued to draw blood from the Kanto region. The food, weapons, armor, all kinds of Chinese patent medicines. A few years ago, there was a plague in the Central Plains, and the heroes of the Kanto region couldn't hold it anymore, so they asked the emperor to send medicine for disaster relief.
They preferred to restore their tribute to the imperial court, but were sternly rejected by the imperial court. The imperial court not only did not receive the tribute of the Kwantung heroes, but also compassionate and exempted the Kwantung heroes from taxes for ten years, which was a good thing, but the special emperor was edicted to the world.
The Kwantung princes, when they received the news, the people under their rule also knew. How do you let them collect their taxes.
The black-hearted emperor also sells medicines for the treatment of the plague at a high price, and the bags of Chinese patent medicines have no effect to say, but the price is really painful.
Fortunately, you can exchange the people suffering from the plague for medicinal herbs, and it is really a vampire court. The people of one city after another were packed and taken away by the imperial court.
The heroes almost vomited blood, they had never seen such a ruthless emperor. I don't take these divided feudal towns as people at all.
Even the ambitious Zhu Quanzhong was tempered by the emperor, and sometimes he really wanted to simply go to Chang'an and beg the emperor to take him in, it was better than being sucked by the emperor for more than ten years.
In fact, in recent years, in addition to military disasters, there have also been many natural and man-made disasters, such as plagues, floods, and droughts.
Lu Renbing has not taken it to heart, the party members are crying and shouting that they want to be attached, because the disaster is serious, and no one in the party can beat it, Lu Renbing, the emperor, is not as easy to fool as before, and refuses to allocate funds for disaster relief, and what is even more odious is that he has to draw blood from the grassland in the disaster year. Grain, medicinal herbs, and weapons were exchanged for horses and dings.
The Dangxiang people are not savages on the grassland, they are the descendants of Tuoba Xianbei, and they have long been civilized people, and they have great respect for the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, and they are not at all as strong as the later Li Yuanhao when he established the Western Xia. In those years, the Dangxiang people were enemies on all sides, Li Keyong in the east, the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs in the west, and inevitably the powerful Tang Dynasty emperor, and the grassland overlord Huangjiasi on the back.
In 648 AD, a tributary group from the upper reaches of the Yenisei River in present-day Russia, thousands of miles northwest of the Tang Dynasty, arrived in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, under the leadership of its chieftain Tong Lifa Lost Boqu Azhan. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of Chinese history, and in terms of foreign exchanges, it had the reputation of "all the seas are salty, and all countries come to the court", and there was an endless stream of tributary groups from all directions. But this Legation is a bit special, in addition to paying tribute, they also shoulder the mission of "recognizing relatives". The chieftain claimed to be a descendant of Li Ling of the Han Dynasty, and was the same clan as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to "recognize his relatives" with the emperor of the Tang Dynasty - Li Ling was a native of Chengji, Longxi (now Qin'an, Gansu), and the grandson of Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. The ancestor of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty also came from Longxi Chengji, and also claimed to be Li Guanghou.
The chieftain of the Gang was warmly received by Tang Taizong. At the banquet, the chieftain of the Tunis, who had successfully recognized his relatives, drank heartily and asked to belong to the Tang Dynasty. Tang Taizong immediately agreed to set up the Jiankun Governor's Mansion in the jurisdiction of the Yanran Governorate, which was subordinate to the Yanran Metropolitan Protectorate, and named the chieftain of the Huangnes Dynasty, Tong Lifa, as the general of Zuotunwei and the governor of Jiankun. For more than 100 years, the Tang Dynasty maintained friendly relations.
After that, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty also recognized that the Huanggasi was his own family, and the Huanggasi people have always remembered this friendship, helping the Tang Dynasty to fight the Turks and fight back to the Hui, and later helped the Tang Dynasty to quell the Anshi Rebellion, and was later defeated by the Hui, unable to pay tribute, and later turned over and defeated the Hui, and resumed the tributary relationship with the Tang Dynasty. Now he is also helping the Tang family to fight the Hugurs. Anyway, whoever doesn't deal with the Tang people, they don't deal with whom.
It's really a touching good brother, it's this Huangjiasi, after the death of the Tang Dynasty, it also disappeared in the long river of history.
After Lu Renbing learned about this experience, he had already opened up and resumed contact with Huangjiasi. The current form of the Khagis is not very good, and there are constant internal strife, with the Uighurs fighting in the west, a strong challenge from the Murowei in the east, and the challenge of the emerging Zub tribe in the back, and the supremacy of the steppe is in jeopardy.
Lu Renbing sent a caravan in time to send excellent weapons, food, cloth, and various daily necessities to the hardcore younger brother of Huangjiasi, and also sent the officer corps and staff group to help the Huangjiasi Khan family, retrain the army, and control the grassland.
The people in power of the Ghargars were already orphans and widows, and the internal nobles also had their own thoughts. Lu Renbing simply gave the surname to the Khan of Huangjiasi surnamed Li, anyway, they have always believed that they are the descendants of Li Ling, and they still have a complete family tree, and they continue the family tree with Li Shimin's family. It is also a matter of course for them to be restored to their ancestral surnames.
According to the generation, the current Khan Li Shenchen has to be called Grandpa Lu Renbing. It must be reasonable for grandpa to help his grandson take control of the territory. With Lu Renbing's full help, Huang Jiasi quickly regained his strength, and all the tribes that were dissatisfied were subdued, and Lu Renbing helped Li Shenxi draw a sphere of influence for those nobles under his command. The power structure has been reorganized.
These structures strengthened the actual control of the Tang Dynasty center, and the Tang Dynasty actually became the grassland branch of the Tang Company. The officer corps and staff corps sent by Lu Renbing also completely turned the army of the Tang Dynasty into the steppe army of the Tang Dynasty.
Lu Renbing's behavior is not considered to be taking advantage of others' danger for Li Shenxi. On the contrary, it can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow. Because if it weren't for Lu Renbing's action, their orphans and widows would sooner or later be eaten and wiped clean by the wolves on the grassland, and there would not be even a single hair left.
Datang and Huang Jiasi have become a family, and the party members sandwiched between the bigwigs are even more unbearable. Li Sijian wrote every year to ask to join the court. But Lu Renbing insisted on not allowing it. Finally, not long after Li Keyong died, Li Sijian also died with regret. He was succeeded by his nephew Li Yichang.
Li Yichang was quite ambitious, thinking about relying on his own efforts, but in less than half a year, he was killed by Gao Zongyi, the envoy of the Xiazhou Festival. Then the descendants of the Li family began to wage war with Gao Zongyi.
Knowing that at this time, Lu Renbing made a move, and the Dingyan Army had already been infiltrated into a sieve by him. The Bad Water Staff Group around him completely crippled the good Dingyan Army. The Tuoba Li family was almost wiped out, and the rebellious Gao Zongyi was also killed by the Tuoba family. The separatist forces of the Dingyan Army were completely smashed.
Then Lu Ren Bingcai sent a large officer to the Dingyan Army to clean up the mess, and soon pacified the Dingyan Army, and recovered Shuofang by the way. The Hetao area will be re-incorporated into the territory.
