Chapter 72 The Tang Dynasty and the Nation Ode to Virtue and Tianshu
In the past three years, Naha has basically done nothing other than attacking cities and plundering land, catching wanderers from the Western Regions all over the world, exploring the land around the Buddha country, and planting barley.
Naha's military strategy is extremely simple, first send the Aries Cypriots to fight, if they can't fight, let Xiao Yuhua take the army of the Buddha Kingdom, as well as the monks from the Shaolin Temple to fight, if Xiao Yuhua and they can't beat it, Naha will directly summon the soldiers of the Tang Beiting Protectorate to go out, and after giving enough money, basically, Naha can be invincible and invincible.
Naha is not a brutal person, and she doesn't like war, but it's too hard to meet a good person in the Western Regions.
Today I heard that the king of Sun Kingdom is cruel and unkind, and likes to eat children when he has nothing to do, you say, can such a demon Naha endure it? So, he sent troops to fight against it.
Tomorrow, I heard that the king of the Tiger Kingdom killed the whole family because he took a fancy to other people's women, and took the women away as slave girls.
After waking up from a sleep, he heard that the dying king of Dan was not a good man, and he was ready to kill 500 slaves for his own burial, so he sent troops to fight against him.
After a long time, the people of the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions have developed a temper that is happy when they hear war.
The main thing is that they can win every battle, and after they win, the life of the people who participated in the war in the Buddha country will be a little better.
So much so that later, they would go all over the world in droves to find some cruel and unkind kings, and after inquiring about their cruel and unkind deeds, they would come back and tell them about King Naha, and then the army would attack......
Fighting, fighting, the queen of the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions became the co-lord of the twenty-eight countries in that area.
It also laid down a quiet and peaceful Buddhist world for the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions.
Even the atmosphere in the Western Regions has improved a lot, and fortunately, a few kings who have never been beaten by Naha have become benevolent and generous.
King Naha once held a conference in the Buddha Kingdom attended by envoys from many countries, and she pointed out at the meeting that if you are not good, you will be beaten!
In the middle, she also learned the Tang Dynasty, and pulled out more than a dozen kings and nobles who she captured and danced for everyone.
If you don't jump well, you will be dragged out and beheaded by the vicious Tang warriors guarding Naha's side.
Therefore, when those envoys saw that the Tang Dynasty was high above the Mengchi Protectorate and the Dadu Protector were saluting Naha, they finally bent down and sincerely wished the Queen of the Buddha Kingdom a blessed life.
Moreover, at this conference, the wandering chieftain of the Persian kingdom, Arosha, took the initiative to propose to Naha that he would join forces with the twenty-eight countries of this country and contact more countries in the Western Regions, and prepare to present a magnificent sculpture to the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
When the old monk Fa Xian, who was stationed in the Buddha country, heard about this, he immediately ran to discuss with the old monkey the feasibility of this matter, and then they came up with a name for this sculpture that would be hot as long as the Tang people heard it - "Tang Dynasty Wanguo Song De Tianshu!"
Naha didn't understand what it was, so she ran to ask the old monkey, who only told her that Master Fa Xian was already arranging, and she just had to agree.
Naha felt that she couldn't be a lord of a country who didn't know anything, so she went to consult Master Faxian again.
After Master Fa Xian's in-depth explanation, she understood that the wandering chieftain of the Persian country, Arosha, was going to gather all the lords who could be summoned to pool money to buy copper, and set up a huge copper pillar at the end of Suzaku Street in Chang'an, that is, in front of the palace gate, so as to pat the emperor's ass.
"Well, yes, yes, I only have one request, when I buy copper, I can only buy it with my brother, they must use gold coins, the best gold coins!"
This is all Naha's perception of the wonder of building the Tang Dynasty Wanguo Songde Tianshu.
What she didn't know was that after the Dadu Protector of the Tang Dynasty Mengchi Protectorate learned the news, he was excited all night and didn't sleep, and when it was not dawn, he gave his long history, Jun Sima ordered, that the lords of the Mengchi Metropolitan Protectorate should all participate, and no one should be missing.
Then, the news spread to Anxi, after the two major capitals of Beiting, the lords of the entire Western Regions also received the action of participating in the construction of the Tang Dynasty Wanguo Songde Tianshu.
This is why Naha returned to Datang with such a large team this time.
And along the way, they were extremely hospitalized by the Datang government, not to mention, the precious soldiers of the Tang Dynasty also escorted them all the way, and the soldiers who blew the trumpet just now used the trumpet to inform the soldiers in charge of the next station to prepare to take over.
After this giant caravan and the envoy team passed Xiao Pass, Naha learned about the Yun family's current predicament from the Yun family's shopkeeper on Xiao Guan's side.
Naha was furious because from a recent letter she received from Li Hong, the scammer also said that everything was fine at home.
My brother became a monk and resigned, and my sister-in-law was being collected for debts all day long with a group of children, and even eating at home became a problem.
This scene reminded Naha of countless cold days under the Tianshan Mountain, when her brother was afraid that she would freeze to death, he wrapped her in his own leather jacket and used his own body temperature to warm her......
The tears in Naha's eyes flowed like a flood.
What happened to my brother that made my brother, who was as strong as a camel, become a monk......
"Lord of the country, Xiao Guan's official mansion asks, how about camping Xiao Guan tonight?"
"Smack!" A whip shadow flashed, even those who were as agile as Xiao Yuhua did not avoid it, and the whip tip brought out a trace on his face.
"Leave immediately, I want to arrive in Chang'an in the shortest time!"
Naha stood on the back of a tall white camel and said condescendingly to Xiao Yuhua.
Xiao Yuhua knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Oh, let's go now!" ”
At this time, Yun Chu had also left Jinyang.
He took the same road as Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty who rebelled against Chang'an.
When Emperor Gaozu passed through Chang'an, he divided the 30,000 troops under his command into two, and he personally led the main force from Xihe County to the south, and the other army was handed over to the commander Zhang Lun, the general doctor, to protect the safety of his flank.
Yun Chu also divided his subordinates into two, and he took Liu Fuzi, Chen Dansheng and other merchants to the south along Hexi County, but sent the army Sima Wang Du with a large amount of money to Lishi, Longquan, Wencheng, which had close business ties with the herdsmen on the grassland, to buy enough cattle and sheep.
The running water brand has been destroyed, and many bulk commodities, including merchants specializing in beef and mutton, are now afraid to continue to fulfill the contract, resulting in this year, there must be no meat to eat in Chang'an City.
Yun Chu asked Wang Dao to take the soldiers to inform those merchants that it was time for them to execute the contract, in view of the fact that Chang'an's flowing water brand was still in a state of stagnation, Yun Chu was willing to make up some money and grain for them, allowing them to complete the contract at a low price, anyway, the flowing water brand has no price now, and it is reasonable to say that the price is reasonable.
They can't collect a security deposit and don't want to supply, which obviously doesn't work.
The re-operation of the Jinyang flowing water brand shook the merchants of Hedong a lot, and Yun Chu killed more than 400 Pei Lin in one go in Jinyang, which made the merchants of Hedong Province fearful.
At this time, with a little force, you can quickly reach the merchants who have accepted the deposit in Hedong Province, and transport the goods that have been delayed for a long time to Chang'an as soon as possible.
When Yun Chu arrived in Huoyi, he received an urgent report from Wang Dao, and he was now escorting 9,000 cattle, 6,000 donkeys, 100,000 sheep, and 200 carts of slaughtered chickens, and was heading to Longmen, preparing to cross the Yellow River from that place, pass through Hancheng and enter Guanzhong, and finally arrive in Chang'an.
Yun Chu knew that so many livestock and convoys, it would not be possible to follow him around the long way, the choice of the royal road was very good, back then, after Emperor Gaozu was frustrated in Jiahubao, he crossed the Yellow River from Longmen to enter Guanzhong.
Yun Chu was going to go to Fenglingdu in Hedong County to visit someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
Moreover, Hedong County is rich in the world, and there are more businessmen who have received deposits from Chang'an but are unwilling to ship goods to Chang'an on time to complete the contract.
This time, he was going to let those people know one thing - the end of not keeping the contract was miserable, very miserable.
When Yun Chu stood in Fenglingdu, he didn't see the one-armed Yang Guo, nor did he see the eagle that ran faster than the galloping horse but couldn't fly.
I only saw a dark-faced, but more energetic young captain Liang Ying.
Lao Liang passed away not long ago, so he still had simple filial piety on him, but he did not resign and go home because of Ding Wei, at this point, Yun Chu was not very satisfied.
It's not that Yun Chu is stupid and filial, but it is very clear that when you are an official in the Tang Dynasty, especially when you are a big official, you must follow the "four virtues and twenty-seven most" in the examiner system.
Among them, the first of the "four virtues" is "morality and righteousness", that is, officials should spread their morality and righteousness and set an example for others.
Liang Ying has no worries as the eldest grandson, this is very inappropriate, once he is accused of unfilial piety in the future, his career will basically come to an end, after all, the essence of the Tang Dynasty's election of officials is - if you want to be loyal to your ministers, you must be filial piety.
A person who can't even be a filial son and says that he is a loyal minister, no one will believe it, and he should pay special attention to this if he wants to be a big official.
"Before his death, Azu dictated that he had people write a "Letter of Love" to His Majesty, one of which was to apply for love for me, His Majesty agreed, and I applied for Ding Wei twice, both of which were retained by His Majesty."
Yun Chu looked at Liang Ying, whose eyes were red, and said: "I heard that before Liang Gong passed away, he was still drinking bitterly, and he died without pain, which should be a blessing for him to fight for the country all his life."
I used to think that Liang Gong had killed all his life without calculation, and he had another lingering illness on the sickbed, and he would suffer before his anger disappeared, but now, as soon as he lives happily, he goes simply, you should be happy for him. ”
