Chapter 372: The Seventeenth Mission: Zhaozong Restored Tang 14

Nanzhao has been a king for nearly 100 years since Xuanzong, and now it has entered the end of the dynasty. The king of Nanzhao was given the surname Meng by Xuanzong, and after Meng Longshun ascended the throne a few years ago, the name of the country was changed from Nanzhao to Dafeng Republic of China, and I don't know what he thought. After changing the name of the country, he was drunk and dreamed of death all day long.

In recent years, the serf uprisings in Nanzhao have continued, and Annan, the seat of the Jing Navy Jiedu Envoy who had the ability to send troops to attack the Tang State, was beaten back a few years ago.

Even if Lu Renbing doesn't sow discord, in a few years, this Meng Longshun will be killed by his powerful minister Zheng Maihei and close ministers. In a few years, this Zheng Maihei will launch a coup d'état to kill all the hundreds of members of the Mengshi royal family, and then come to power to establish the "Great Changhe Kingdom".

I don't know what's going on with these buddies, the names they give are so similar to the names of Goryeo and the island countries, and they all like to add a big word. Mr. Lu suspected that they had passed through these two countries.

The Jing Navy, that is, the border of Yunnan and Guizhou, is not very good. The territory of the Jing Navy included Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as the entire Jiaozhou. The festival envoy is led by the prime minister Dugu Loss, this Dugu Loss is a literati background, and all his energy is focused on the court battle.

As a result, the Jiaozhou family has become bigger, and a de facto secession has been formed. After a few years, Dugu was assigned to Hainan, and Qu Chengyu, a local hero in Jiaozhou, would lead the Jinghai Festival by himself. Then after five dynasties and ten kingdoms, Jiaozhou was completely separated from the Central Plains.

This Qu Chengyu also became a hero of the Annan people in later generations. In fact, Qu Chengyu has no blood relationship with Annan Monkey at all, he is an authentic Han Chinese. It's just that he actually helped Annan separate from the Central Plains.

Lu Renbing actually didn't want to stretch the battle line too long, his original intention was to finish Sanchuan and finish it. However, the enemy is too weak, and the leaders of the gang of meritorious soldiers under his command are too eager to fight.

The Jingyan Army made Dugu lose and returned to Chang'an in a hurry, and Lu Renbing pushed the boat down the river to open the copy of Nanzhao and the Jingnan Army.

For Nanzhao, Lu Renbing had already passed the caravan to give strong support to the serf uprisings in various places, and the beautiful scenery of Nanzhao came and went, and the leaders of the uprisings in various places were all specially trained by Lu Renbing, and the head of Dongchang was surrounded by officials, and Lu Renbing's staff department "Conspiracy Department" also formulated a plan for the liberation of serfs, and sent advanced ideas to these serf troops who did not have unified ideals.

So the serfs of Nanzhao Kingdom mastered it, turned over the big killing weapon, killed the toast, divided the fields, and the masses who turned over sang their brothers, just waiting for the king to be added to the knighthood as soon as the king arrived.

At the same time, Lu Renbing also let the contradiction between Zheng Maisi and the royal family break out in advance, and Dali City became a pot of porridge. The meritorious Southern Expeditionary Army easily crossed the mountains and mountains and killed under the city of Dali.

In the city of Dali, where blood flowed like a river, there was no decent resistance organized at all. and was conquered. Only three or two kittens were left in the Mengshi royal family, and the red-eyed minister Zheng Jia, who was killed, was called a prisoner. The wealth of Montessori's management over the years has dazzled the eyes of military leaders of all sizes.

It's a pity that the powerful forbidden army was loyal to their great emperor Lu Renbing, so the majority of the captured heads were all given to Lu Guan's family in Chang'an. Fortunately, Lu Renbing had already anticipated this situation, and set a ratio of three or seven to the military leaders, in addition to the royal wealth, the wealth of other Nanzhao wealthy households and Tusi was allowed to be used by these military leaders, but it was to be distributed to the emperor seventy percent.

The emperor's edict was issued, and the whole army cheered. At the same time, Lu Renbing also dispatched his henchmen from the General Staff Headquarters to Nanzhao to coordinate and command the forces of all parties, ensuring that all Nanzhao must be taken and the separatist forces in Nanzhao must be uprooted. The main force is the Nanzhao rebel army that is full of slaves.

Only that struggle is the most effective means of resolving the rural problem. The forbidden army only occupied the fortress and fully mobilized the serfs, which was the most important means of this Nanzhao attack. In order to protect his own interests, the upper echelons of Nanzhao were quickly trampled into the dust by the turned serfs.

At the same time as the implementation of the Nanzhao strategy, the military strategy of Jingyan was launched at the same time.

Now the situation in Jiaozhou is still under the control of the imperial court. It is necessary to deal with the local families with serious separatist tendencies. For example, the composer. So the strategy here is precision strikes, scalpel operations. The army went straight to the dock fort of the Annan family, killed chickens with knives, and directly exterminated the clan, and then divided the Jingnan army.

Qianzhou has a separate town and a road, and Jiaozhou is divided into several provinces. In accordance with the new strategy of separation of military and government, governance will be restored.

Jiaozhou has never been a wild place, but because of the climate and distance, it is easy to separate. This forbidden army's trip to Jiaozhou also made a lot of money.

Anyway, Lu Renbing launched a strategy of fighting to feed the war, and looted the local heroes without a bottom line. Jiaozhou is also a grain producing area, so there is no need to worry about the lack of food for the army. Lu Renbing's first fortune from Burma and Jiaozhou in several worlds is quite experienced in how to deal with epidemics and damp heat.

Jiaozhou, Nanzhao, and Qianzhou, these are all remote areas, and the heroes of the Central Plains have no time to take care of it for the time being. happened to be taken advantage of by Lu Renbing. Nanzhao has copper, iron, rich products, Jiaozhou is an important food town, plus the country of abundance of Bashu, and then run Guanzhong, Lu Renbing said that we have been in an invincible position.

However, because of the development of Nanzhao and Jiaozhou's strategy, it occupied most of Lu Renbing's energy. The previously planned strategy of the Guiyi Army in the Western Regions had to be postponed.

In the second year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (848), the Han people of Shazhou took advantage of the weakening of the power of Tubo to hold an uprising under the leadership of Zhang Yichao, drove away the generals of Tubo, and sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to report the return of Shazhou to the Tiande Army (now the southeastern edge of Wuliangsuhai in Inner Mongolia). Then, Zhang Yichao sent his brother Zhang Yitan to bring the maps of 11 prefectures, including Gua, Sha, Yi, Xi, Gan, Su, Lan, Shan, He, Min, and Kuo, and the household registration to the imperial court, which showed that the Hexi region was once again owned by the Tang Dynasty. It took the imperial court to get the performance in the fifth year of Dazhong, and decided to place the Guiyi Army in Shazhou, with Zhang Yichao as the Guiyi Army's festival envoy and the eleven states as the observer envoy. The first wave of Xiantong regained Liangzhou.

In fact, the Guiyi army had been fighting against the powerful Ganzhou Uighurs, and the center of the Tang Dynasty was also suspicious of the rising Guiyi army in the Western Regions. On the surface, they welcomed the Guiyi Army, but secretly supported the Uighur tribes of Ganzhou in Hexi to balance the Guiyi Army.

In order to show his loyalty, Zhang Yichao invited himself to join the court, and died in Chang'an a few years ago. The Guiyi Army was entrusted by Zhang Yichao to his nephew Zhang Huaishen. As a result, after Zhang Yichao's death, the Zhang family fell into an internal struggle over inheritance.

In the first year of Dashun, Zhang Huaishen and his wife, who had experienced a hundred battles, were killed by Zhang Yichao's son-in-law Suo Xun. Zhang Yichao's son ascended to the throne, and then was killed by Suo Xun. This year, Suo Xun was killed by Zhang Yichao's fourteenth son-in-law.

Anyway, the Guiyi Army fell into a leaderless state. The Uighur forces, the Dangxiang tribe, and the Tibetan tribes, which were suppressed by the Guiyi army, all took advantage of the opportunity to rise up and encroach on the territory of the Guiyi army.

At this time, it is the best time for the center to join the righteous army and control the Western Regions.

It's a pity that passerby Bing is now being pulled back by the Southern Expeditionary Army, so he has to temporarily put down the Western Regions strategy.

Fortunately, the civil strife in the Guiyi Army is still continuing, and Zhang Yichao's grandson, who has just taken power, has to fight with other forces for several waves. When the time comes, let them fight first, and then go and clean up the mess when they get tired.
