Chapter 40 Dunhuang Ancient Gods
[Zhang Yichao was white, and he started in Shazhou in 848 and ended in 861.
After thirteen years, it finally succeeded in recovering the hometown of Hehuang, which had fallen for a hundred years.
"Yiwu in the west, Lingwu in the east, more than 4,000 miles of land, and a family of one million. The mountains and rivers of the six counties are like the old. ”
The Zhongxing of the late Tang Dynasty was essentially pushed to the top by Zhang Yichao himself.
And Zhang Yichao's legendary road did not end there.
After the Hexi Corridor was completely opened, the Tang Dynasty restored the Liangzhou Festival, which was led by Zhang Yichao.
In 866, Zhang Yichao went to Chang'an, and the cities of Xizhou, Beiting, Luntai, and Qingzhen were also recovered.
In October of the same year, Zhang Yichao ordered the Uighur king to face the battle against the fear of heat, and won a great victory, and the discussion of fear of heat was transmitted to Chang'an.
In the same year, the Khotanese Dynasty in the Anxi region followed Zhang Yichao's example and raised troops to recover southern Xinjiang, and was intimidated by the prestige of the Guiyi Army and reasserted his vassal status to the Tang Dynasty.
At this point, the power of Tubo in Hexi was finally swept away.
From Chang'an through Hexi to Beiting, Khotan to the Western Regions again unimpeded.
At this time, the late Tang Dynasty finally had a prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The following year, Zhang Yitan, who stayed in Chang'an as a hostage, died, and Zhang Yichao took the initiative to go to Chang'an as a hostage and handed over the affairs of the Guiyi Army to Zhang Huaishen, the son of his brother.
Zhang Huai was deeply grateful for his uncle's achievements, so he ordered someone to paint the "Zhang Yichao Unified Army Travel Map" in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and set up a biography for it.
When Zhang Yichao arrived in Chang'an, the people of Chang'an welcomed it, and the civil and military forces in the city sighed.
The emperor granted him the right god to command the army, gave him land and house, and entered Situ.
In 872, Zhang Yichao died of illness at the age of seventy-four, and was given the Taibao, and Hexi mourned.
This hero of the late Tang Dynasty was born in Shazhou and died in Chang'an.
Raise troops to return to the east, sweep Liuhe, and complete his dream:
Return to the Don. 】
"What a warrior of the Tang Dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty!"
The eldest grandson Wuji took the initiative to praise everyone.
Li Shimin didn't speak at this time.
The words "for quality" and "receiving the Taibao" came into view, which made him very unhappy:
"What the future generations said is true, such a merit should be loyal to the martial arts!"
"Still little Taizong, when did I become so stingy!"
He still remembered the few loyal martial arts that the light curtain had said before, and one of them came from him.
This grandson emperor is so famous, how can he Li Shimin feel like he is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai?
Could it be that I was really stingy later?
Li Shimin couldn't help but introspect.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and Du Ruhui shook his head slightly.
Regarding the name, the two important ministers had the same idea in their hearts.
But if you say it, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be even more furious.
In this case, it is better to hide it in your heart and not say it.
Du Ruhui calmly changed the topic:
"Zhang Yichao can be called a famous general through the ages!"
"Looking at his life, we can basically come up with a draft to sort out the Western Regions, congratulations."
Du Ruhui was right, Li Shimin looked at the simple map in the light curtain again.
Although it is only a simple color, you can already get a glimpse of how the states and counties are divided.
Moreover, looking at Zhang Yichao's route of raising troops, we can also estimate the distribution of the Tubo people's forces, so as to infer the invasion route of the Tubo.
In short, even if only the scales and half-claws are revealed in the later generations, the two famous ministers can still get a glimpse of the information from it.
"Keming's words are very good." Li Shimin approved:
"Let's wait for the pharmacist's good news, and then ......"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with murder, and he had already drawn up a list in his heart:
Western Regions, Tibet, Goguryeo, and Unu...... Come one by one, don't worry.
Then he sighed again, this discussion tide was really born at the wrong time.
That little Taizong can't do it, how can he be as good as me, the true Taizong, the first emperor through the ages?
……
"That's how a good man should be!" Guan Yu stroked his palms and praised:
"Alone in troubled times, the court praises his name. If you win, the people will be happy, and if you die, the people will be sad. ”
"Such a life, it can be described as no regrets!"
Huang Zhong felt quite inspiring:
"When this Zhang tide was raised, it was still one of the two major forces in Tibet."
"And just ten years later, everyone from Chang'an to the Western Regions knows the name of Zhang Yichao, and the once great enemy of fear of heat can be destroyed in a word."
"It's really ......" Huang Zhong shook his head and admired it quite a bit:
"A true hero."
The generals were all convinced, and even Zhang Fei had already begun to complain for Zhang Yichao:
"Such a merit, such a good man, but it turns out that there is only one point of meteorology in the Tang Dynasty?"
"So harsh?"
Wei Yan also felt quite unconvinced, he was also a military general, and in his opinion, this discussion tide had almost done its best:
"One person is still said to be only one-tenth of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Then Sheng Tang can destroy the country with one word?"
Everyone looked around and shook their heads, and they also felt that the light curtain was mostly smooth.
In fact, this discussion tide also relies on a partial division, but the Quartet that can fight, chisel through Hexi, and lead thousands of miles of land back to China, how can it not be considered powerful?
Liu Bei also shook his head and said casually:
"I don't know which of the Han and Tang dynasties is weaker and which is stronger."
As soon as the words fell, I saw the civil and military people looking at me with burning eyes, and hurriedly changed his words:
"I think it's not as good as a strong man."
Pang Tong commented unceremoniously:
"Although this Tang has strong martial arts, the Hu people who can't be killed are discouraged!"
"Whether it is the former Han Dynasty or the present dynasty, how can the people be so humiliated by the Hu people?"
Everyone couldn't help but nod secretly, or my big man is better.
As for the Wuhu Chaohua or something, how many years had the Han Dynasty been usurped at that time?
[The Tang Dynasty has a good poetic style, poetry has witnessed the rise of the Tang Dynasty, and it has also witnessed the decline of the late Tang Dynasty.
A year before the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu had already smelled the rot of this empire and scolded angrily:
"Confucianism is nothing to me, Kongqiu is full of dust."
Before Zhang Yichao raised his troops, the twilight of the late Tang Dynasty was heavier, and Xu Hun also sighed at that time:
"The clouds are rising and the sun is sinking, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings."
And Zhang Yichao's uprising allowed the people of Hexi to see the dawn of returning to the Tang Dynasty.
The Dunhuang testament, now in the National Library of France, records the praise of the Hexi people:
"Dunhuang has been a god in ancient times, and I feel the admiration of Zhufan...... Sooner or later, kill the wolves, and worship the holy face together. ”
After Liangzhou recovered Hexi and opened up, Zhang Qiao, a remnant of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem with a pen and wrote a poem with his complex feelings:
"The young entourage will ask for the river, and return to his hometown when his head is white. The 100,000 Han army was scattered, blowing alone and bending towards the remnant sun. ”
Three years after Zhang Yichao's death, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao revolted one after another.
Wei Zhuang also used poems to describe the end of the Tang Dynasty he saw:
"Maiko singers donate all their secrets, and babies and girls are all abandoned...... The inner library was burned into splendid ash, and the heavenly street stepped on the bones of the minister. ”
Zhang Yichao failed to turn the tide and helped the building to fall.
He is just a bright color like a meteor in the late Tang Dynasty, and he is the last dignity given by history to the giants of the Tang Dynasty. 】
"Dunhuang Testament...... How did it turn out in France? ”
Kong Ming leaned forward slightly, puzzled.
He remembered that when he introduced the national treasure Bai Zhen, the first person to do it was France.
The generals have never had a good impression of these, and Zhang Fei disdainfully guessed:
"Maybe it's like that stick, robbing our things and using them as your own."
"I only hate that the later dynasty was lax in its armaments, and it was taken advantage of by this law fang!"
Kong Ming shook his head and could only suppress these doubts temporarily, but his heart was curious about the history before the establishment of the monarchless dynasty.
"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings... That's a good point. Pang Tong silently tasted poetry.
I just feel that the light curtain is picked out separately has its own uniqueness.
Although the rhetoric of this poem that was robbed by the law fang is not gorgeous, it is better than the sincerity of feelings.
"The hearts of the people of Hexi are available, what a heroic remnant."
In the partial hall of the public security county, the poems of the Tang people are slowly figuring out, and I only feel that the cultural governance of the Tang Dynasty seems to have made quite achievements.
And the scene of Tang annihilation, everyone just sighed.
Dong Zhuo's disaster is only 20 years, and Luoyang has been burned for a hundred years, and the original disaster is so ordinary.
……
Perhaps because he had been mentally prepared before, Li Shimin just kicked a Dengzi next to him.
"Anshi Rebellion?! So far? ”
Li Shimin was depressed, it felt like knowing that there was a defeat waiting for him.
But I don't know who the enemy will be or how to defeat him, and I am full of powerlessness.
"The army of 100,000 was lost, and the living became a white-haired army."
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also noticed another novelty.
"Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao...... Uprising? ”
Fang Xuanling was sluggish for a moment: "This is not ...... The people revolted? ”
In the eyes of the two important ministers, the uprising is the meaning of the rebel army, but ......
"That Tubo was swept away by Zhang Yichao." Du Ruhui said word by word:
"After Zhang Yichao returned to Chang'an, there was no record of leading troops, which shows that there may have been no external troubles in the late Tang Dynasty at that time."
"Therefore, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chaoqi are rebels...... Anti-Tang? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was startled and wanted to refute something, so he quickly glanced at His Majesty's face first.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin's face was not uncertain, but he just looked at the small light curtain quietly.
So the eldest grandson Wuji also decided to keep his mouth shut.
Du Ruhui boldly arched his hand and said:
"Please treat the crime of the minister's speech, according to the minister's opinion, the future generations are neither Tang people nor Han people, this Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao are praised by this."
Or because of the internal and external troubles of the late Tang Dynasty, the officials became the enemies of the people. Just like ......"
Li Shimin shook his head, do you still need to talk about this example? It's just too much.
He had inherited the praise of the first emperor of the ages, and at that time he had imagined that he might really create a dynasty for a thousand years.
But now, based on Zhang Yichao, Tang Zuo is only 300 years at most.
"Can an emperor last for a hundred years?"
At this moment, as if he had marched and fought as the king of Qin, Li Shimin's thinking was extremely clear:
"If Tang Zuo is extended, it will first be extended for a hundred years, and the longevity of a hundred years of prosperity will be in my descendants, and even more in my cultural and martial arts."
I am going to create a stronger Zhenguan Tang!
Li Shimin is ambitious, first of all, he wants to surpass the self in the history of the light curtain!
[Looking back at history, Zhang Yichao was also one of the few saviors in the late Tang Dynasty.
It's just a pity that Zhang Yichao, who relied on the Tubo Rebellion to take advantage of the situation to raise troops to recover his homeland,
It is a congenitally stunted force, and it was also constrained by the Tang Court after opening up Liangzhou.
The 100-year rule of Tubo in Hexi has not only achieved Zhang Yichao's prestige.
He also destroyed the hopeful Guiyi Army from the roots. 】
The second part is a little later, and the next chapter ends with this part, so it needs to be written fairly.
