Chapter 105: Whose Father-in-law Are You?
[One question, when the Tang Dynasty opened the Yuan Dynasty, as a low-level "miscellaneous hu", how could he achieve class leapfrogging?
At this time, the road of the imperial examination has been basically blocked, after all, the game of "Xingjuan", which depends on both the background and the money, is really not a good choice.
During this period, the imperial examination has already been evaluated as "indiscriminate tribute, powerful disciples, drunk with mutual rewards, handsome from poor families, and six or seven out of ten".
The imperial examination can't go, and there is no one above who can't rely on the shade of the door, so there is only one way in front of you:
Military exploits.
Since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, relying on the perfect military merit system and Erfeng's personal example, the word Shangwu has been engraved into the genes of the Tang people.
One of the proofs that can be passed down to the present is Zhao Yishen's family letter.
Zhao Yishen, a native of Luoyang, was stationed here after Erfeng insisted on destroying Gaochang Zhifu.
3,000 kilometers away from home, Zhao Yishen would write family letters when he missed home, and Zhao Yishen was buried in Gaochang after his death, and these family letters were his funeral objects.
1,300 years later, the ancient tombs of Astana have rediscovered, so we can see the letter received by Zhao Yishen in the 20th year of Zhenguan.
In this vaguely recognizable family letter, Luoyang's parents told Zhao Yishen that his eldest brother had been awarded the rank of Cloud Captain.
The Tang Dynasty commander turned twelve, and the cloud cavalry lieutenant belonged to the second turn, which was regarded as the seventh grade, only higher than the first turn of the martial cavalry lieutenant.
In this regard, the reaction of Zhao Yishen's family is "indescribable joy", the value of military exploits in the Tang Dynasty and the worship of military exploits by the people can be seen.
It was this martial spirit that enabled the Tang Dynasty to create an empire that was unprecedentedly vast and prosperous.
And An Lushan, who started as a miscellaneous hu and finally served as the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, naturally took military merit as the step to advance, thus realizing his "Tang Dream". 】
Everyone in the Chengdu Mansion is quite relaxed now, after all, this Tang Dynasty has been away from them for four or five hundred years, and it is relatively not too much to do with it.
You can't still backstab them in the future, right?
However, when they saw the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty, everyone still sat up straight to show their respect for these hundreds of years of soldiers.
The heroic soul is immortal, and the border is endless.
They are now powerless to conquer the Western Regions in troubled times, so their emotions are quite complicated.
"This is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?" Kong Ming was interested.
Keep writing down the ideas you observe.
For example, in the Tang Dynasty, this seems to be an extension of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and the method of distinguishing grades by numbers is quite good.
"This system should be appropriate." Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said:
"After all, later generations also said that this thief died quickly, but it was also chaotic for eight years."
It can be seen that neither the early death of Xuanzong nor the early death of this thief can be quelled...... Contradiction. ”
Everyone nodded, and in a sense they were in a similar situation.
Dong Zhuo is dead, will the chaos be peaceful?
Zhang Fei has always been open-minded, peeled two ground beans and threw them into his mouth, and sighed:
"This Zhao Yishen is a good man."
Although he understands that later generations are more concerned about opening tombs, Zhang Fei still feels weird.
Especially when I think of my grave, I don't know where it is......
[In 712 A.D., this year, Anzhenjie, who was then the commander of Lanzhou, Hedong Province, received a message:
The Turkic tribe where his brother An Xiaojie lived was wiped out by the Turkic Khanate, and his family came to vote.
An Zhenjie naturally did not dare to slack off and went to greet him in person.
After the brothers met, An Xiaojie praised the An Yanyan family who rescued him from escaping to his younger brother.
With the grace of saving his life and the Kang people who are also surnamed Zhaowujiu, the two parties quickly became acquainted and agreed that the children of the two families would be brothers.
However, there is a discordant one among these younger brothers, the Luo Mountain.
His mother was Turkic, and his father died shortly after he was born, so his mother remarried An Yanyan.
An Zhenjie was very tolerant of this, and still agreed to be brothers, and promised to roll the mountain with the surname An, so it was named An Lushan.
At that time, there was also his nephew An Sishun who escaped with An Yanyan, An Sishun and An Lushan are cousins who are not related by blood, but the personal relationship is very good.
Under the recommendation of An Zhenjie, the two brothers embarked on a completely different but different path:
An Sishun chose to join the army, and soon went to the right line of defense in Long, where he worked for thirty-eight years.
Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi and other famous generals were once An Sishun's subordinates, and finally achieved the envoy of the two towns.
An Lushan rejected the military, chose a business trip, and became a Yalang, which is now commonly known as an intermediary.
In this job, An Lushan learned six foreign languages and practiced a good eloquence, and when he was about to develop his ambitions, the economic crisis ...... Ah no, the Tibetans are coming.
Tubo attacked Hexi and blocked the Silk Road, and An Lushan's commercial ambitions were shattered before they took off, so he made a new career plan for himself:
I work as an intermediary during the day and steal sheep at night.
So An Lushan was naturally twisted in front of Zhang Shouqi, the governor of Youzhou, and got a verdict of "pushing out and beating to death with a stick".
Of course, An Lushan couldn't accept this, and shouted out in a hurry, "The doctor doesn't want to destroy the two people?" What is killing Lushan! This sentence.
Of course, An Lushan did not understand military strategy, and although he successfully aroused Zhang Shouqi's interest, he was eventually sent to work as a "life general", a position similar to that of a scout, mainly in enemy-occupied areas.
In 732, An Sishun had already been appointed to Taozhou as the assassin and military envoy of the Momen army, and was rewarded with 200 satin, 300 taels of silver, 500,000 yuan, and 5,000 soldiers and horses.
And An Lushan looked at Shi Siming, the only subordinate, and felt that tears were about to fall.
An Lushan, who came back to his senses, learned from the pain:
Since you don't understand the military strategy and can't be a staff member, then be a hero like Lu Bu! 】
Li Shimin's attention focused on An Lushan was finally temporarily pulled away:
"The Eastern Turks were destroyed by me, and the Western Turks were high...... After the emperor ascended the throne, he was destroyed, where did he come to the Turkic Khanate? ”
The Tang Emperor's unintentional complaint made Sun Simiao's heart tremble:
The crown prince ascended the throne? What about the Prince?
Your Majesty called me over so heartily...... Sun Simiao's face turned a little pale for a while.
Cannot! No choice!
Yan Lide, on the other side, has seen the storms and waves in politics, and seeing that his younger brother and other courtiers have the same faces, he understands what should be the inside story at the moment.
The Turkic Khanate is a good judgment, Du Ruhui speculated from the position of this chastity of Lanzhou:
"This Turkic Khanate is still north of Hexi, and there is no doubt that it will be a cunning person to return to the country!"
Restoration! Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder if his treatment of these Turkic remnants was a little more tolerant?
After the defeat of Jieli, after discussion between the DPRK and China, the Turkic remnants were first set up as a prefecture and the tribal leader was placed as the governor.
Later, the Governorate was set up, and the Turkic remnants were divided and divided, and the good ones moved inward, and the disobedient remained in place as a line of defense against the north.
This was the consensus reached by the DPRK and China after discussions, but it does not seem to be perfect.
Fang Xuanling is relatively optimistic:
"Don't worry, the Western Turks have not been destroyed, and there is still room for the Turkic strategy to turn around."
"On the contrary, this An Sishun, who is not only the brother of An Lushan, but also the envoy of the two towns, with the power of An Lushan, no wonder there is a shocking chaos."
A very reasonable guess, Li Shimin nodded with a sigh, but looking at An Lushan's deeds, he still wanted to grind his teeth a little:
How could a sheep thief create such a shocking scourge...... Why didn't this Youzhou Jiedu envoy kill him on the spot!
……
Zhang Fei looked at Lu Bu's words and laughed:
"This An Lushan recognized the Tang Emperor as his father-in-law, and as a result, he rebelled and defeated Chang'an."
"That Lu Bu recognized Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, and killed Dong Zhuo as a result."
Fa Zheng was familiar with this, and said with a smile:
"Lu Bu's killing of Dong can be called a thief, this An Lushan rebellion......"
The implication is self-evident, even if later generations sigh that Xuanzong will not die early, this An Lushan will still rebel after all.
Zhang Fei also smiled and sighed:
"Father-in-law, it's not easy to be a good person."
Saying that, Zhang Fei also looked at Kong Ming:
After all, Adou is now in Chengdu, and the eldest brother said before that he wanted Adou to worship Kong Ming as his father-in-law.
Kong Ming's face suddenly darkened, and he waved his hand in disgust with the feather fan:
Don't want me to teach you arithmetic! However, Liu Bei looked at An Lushan's account and sighed:
"If there is no rebellion in Tibet, this An Lushan may not be a mediocre businessman for the rest of his life."
But then Liu Bei himself laughed at himself:
"Why?"
I don't say anything.
[In a desperate situation, An Lushan found that this job was quite suitable for him for the first time.
After all, An Lushan himself is a miscellaneous beard, and he is proficient in six languages, and he is good at observing words and feelings.
And these skills honed in Yalang's career can basically be seamlessly used in the position of a catcher.
It can even be used on his boss Zhang Shoujue, observing what he likes, Zhang Shouju hates obese people, so he takes the initiative to diet to lose weight, and even takes the initiative to wash Zhang Shoujue's feet is commonplace.
can be so flattered by An Lushan, of course, Zhang Shouqi is quite talented, this Youzhou governor is from a good family, and he was promoted by fighting the Turks.
Before coming to Youzhou, the Tubo Rebellion that caused the economic crisis in An Lushan was also quelled by Zhang Shouqi.
The purpose of being transferred to Youzhou was also to pacify the "two Tibetans" in the Anlu Pass, that is, the Khitan and Xi people in the north.
Zhang Shouqi himself is online, and after arriving in Youzhou, there are also frequent good news, An Lushan is very happy to hold Zhang Shouqi's thighs and mix experience, and at the same time try to bribe officials, and the results are remarkable.
In the end, Zhang Shouqi accepted An Lushan as his righteous son, and so far An Lushan also relied on his father, stepfather, and stepfather to reluctantly form a three-company.
But trouble also came soon, An Lushan himself was not a traditional military general, relying on foreign languages and appearance, he was completely an exceptionally good survival general, but leading the army was a disaster.
Zhang Shouqi relied on his advantage to plan to give his righteous son a little benefit, and ordered An Lushan to lead 60,000 troops to fight the Khitan, but the result was that the Xi people rebelled and attacked the Khitan.
What about An Lushan? He was hit by an arrow in the saddle, broke his crown and lost his tracks, and fled from the battlefield with more than 20 horsemen under his command, resulting in a great defeat for the Tang army.
Zhang Shouqi is not a prime minister who can slash horses with tears, so he hesitated and chose to protect Yizi again and again.
How to protect? escorted An Lushan to Beijing, and Chang'an was already half of An Lushan's home field. 】
Now I still remember Qin Official, and I sincerely hope that the big guy in July will be healthy and smooth.
