"Serfs? Peasants also had slaves? ”

The officials couldn't help but be surprised, you must know that there were no slaves in China for a long time, only peasants and tenants, and there was the most cruel slavery system in distant Tibet.

Fan Zheng explained: "Serfdom is a phenomenon unique to Tibet, between slaves and peasants, they have no property, but also have to bear the cruel exploitation of serf owners, and high taxes, they are the lowest and poorest group of people in Tibet, and the number is large, accounting for more than ninety percent of the population of Tibet. ”

At the moment, Fan Zheng will go through the details of the serfdom system in Tibet. The slightest mistake will be punished with the harshest punishment, failure to pay high rent, and even the death penalty.

"Ahh In this way, how could the Tibetan serfs not resist! ”

Baiguan exclaimed, in this way, the serfs in Tibet are like living in hell, and they are even more terrifying in the last years of the previous dynasties.

China has already abolished the slavery system, and the Great Song Dynasty is the most self-cultivated farmers, many landlords recruit tenants to cultivate the land, but also need to leave enough income for the tenants to live, if according to the implementation of the Tubo serfdom system in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it would have been in flames long ago, and the 36 roads against the king and 72 puffs of smoke and dust are everywhere.

According to the statistics of the imperial court, as long as thirty percent of the people lose their land and livelihood, then the imperial court will be on the verge of collapse, but Tubo can carry out such a cruel serfdom system, and has not let ninety percent of the serfs rebel, which is simply a miracle in the eyes of the Manchu officials.

"The serfdom system can be carried out, in addition to the brutal suppression of the Tibetan lords, so that they dare not resist, and the Tibetan Buddhism is also indispensable, and its preaching of the situation of serfs is the result of karma." Fan Zheng sneered.

"Karmic consequences?"

Zhao Xu frowned, extremely unfamiliar with this word.

Su Shi immediately stepped forward and explained: "Karma is a Buddhist word, also known as cause and effect, which means the cause of the past life and the effect of the present life. ”

Fan Zheng said angrily: "The Tibetan Buddhism made the serfs believe that they suffered in this life because they had created sins in their previous lives, and only by constantly suffering could they wash away their sins, and they could be reborn in a better state in the next life and live the life of a lord." ”

"And they believe it? There are ninety percent of the serfs in Tibet, and only one percent of the lords and monks, even if there is reincarnation, they will have to be reincarnated for eight more times to be reincarnated to enjoy happiness. ”

Zhao Xu was dumbfounded.

These serfs are too easy to deceive! Even if you don't understand such a simple truth?

Opposite! There are a lot of Diao people in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is clear that the Great Song Dynasty has been good enough for the people, but there are still bandits.

Fan Zheng said helplessly: "It was a group of outsiders, backward and ignorant, coupled with the deception of the Tibetan Buddhism, which made them believe it, of course, it was not that there were no serfs resisting, but the resistance would be more severely suppressed, coupled with physical and mental control, the serfs gradually accepted their fate, but we are glad that civilization is in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Tibetan serfs are living in dire straits, which gave the Great Song Dynasty the opportunity to quickly pacify Tibet." ”

"Fan Aiqing means to rescue the serfs?" Zhao Xu's eyes lit up.

In any society, the most poor people, especially the life of the Tibetan serfs, is even more prosperous, the Great Song Dynasty army did not occupy Tubo in the past, but to rescue the serfs, this is the behavior of the king!

"Wonderful!"

Fan Chunli Daigo empowerment said.

If the Great Song Dynasty can rescue the serfs who occupy ninety percent of the number, it means that ninety percent of the people of Tubo will stand up to support the Great Song Dynasty, and the originally unstable Tubo will not be instantly pacified, not to mention the third step of the Great Detour Strategy, and even Tubo will become the biggest help for the Great Song Dynasty's attack on Dali.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The Great Song Dynasty not only wants to free the body of the serf, but also to distribute land and cattle and sheep to the serf, so that they can become yeoman farmers and independent herdsmen, no longer dependent on the lord and the temple, but also to save the thoughts of the serfs. ”

The officials nodded one after another, the system of serfs in Tibet was too cruel, as long as the serfs could be freed from the control of the lords and monks, they believed that no one would want to return to the life of serfs, and at that time they could only rely on the Great Song court.

"Where did the land and the cattle and sheep come from?" Zhang Dian was suddenly surprised and said that the Great Song Dynasty was already financially tight, and if a large amount of money was allocated to rescue the serfs, I am afraid that it would make the Great Song Dynasty's finances worse.

Fan Zheng paused, gritted his teeth and said, "Serfs have worked for lords and temples for generations, it's time to get some meager rewards. ”

"A small return!"

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but gasp, Fan Zheng's meaning was obvious, that is, let the serfs directly divide the cattle, sheep and land of the lord and the temple.

"Tubo is an experiment in the rapid pacification of the occupation of the Great Song Dynasty, if this method is effective, there will be many new occupation areas in the Great Song Dynasty in the future to meet the needs of the Great Song Dynasty's population explosion, enough to make the Great Song Dynasty wherever it goes, eat pot pulp, and the people will welcome it, which will not only greatly increase the victory rate of the Great Song Dynasty, but also quickly control the area." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"This is an evil recipe!"

Zhang Duan was silent for a moment and said solemnly.

The hundred officials were also silent, they were all big landowners of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were essentially no different from the great lords of Tubo and the monks and temples that occupied the land, and Fan Zheng proposed to rescue the serfs, and perhaps one day it would be applied to them.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "This side is indeed an evil party, but it is more beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, you adults know in your hearts that the Great Song Dynasty is not strong, and Tubo is far away from the Great Song Dynasty, if Tubo rebels, the Great Song Dynasty has no ability or time to conduct a second conquest, the only way is to use this evil method to quickly pacify Tubo once and for all." ”

"But what about the interests of those Tibetan lords?" Yushi Yang Wei asked.

Fan Zheng's evil recipe for rescuing the serfs made his heart tremble, and he couldn't help but defend those Tibetan lords.

Fan Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "First, these lords are the most likely source of rebellion in Tibet, and they support the serfs to divide the cattle, sheep and land of the lords and temples, on the one hand, they can weaken the lords, and on the other hand, they can make the serfs return to their hearts, killing two birds with one stone." Second, these lords were not Song people, and the Great Song Dynasty was not obliged to protect their interests. Third, for the successful completion of the Great Song Dynasty's great detour strategy, the necessary sacrifices were also worth it. ”

After Fan Zheng finished speaking, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, standing in the position of the landlords, they naturally did not want to use Fan Zheng's evil recipe to save the serfs, and from the position of the Great Song Dynasty, they had to admit that this evil prescription would have immediate results, so that the Great Song Dynasty firmly controlled Tubo, and the benefits of this made the court unable to refuse at all.

Although Zhao Xu raised his hands to agree with this law, he considered the reaction of the hundred officials, and immediately cooperated: "All of you Aiqing are all studying the book of the sage, and the serfs in Tubo are so dire and dire that it is not against the benevolence of the Confucian sage, how can we turn a blind eye." ”

The Manchu officials could not help but be Hao Ran, they often proclaimed that they valued righteousness over profit, but now they are faced with the conflict between personal interests and the general interests of the country, and as a result, they are seized by the officials.

"The official family teaches a lesson! We agree with this method! ”

Hundreds of officials chimed in.

As Fan Zheng said, serfdom is a deformation of the slavery system, which has long been eliminated by China, and their move can be regarded as conforming to the way of heaven and changing Tibet from serfdom to feudalism.

Not to mention, the Great Song Dynasty still had a great detour strategy to complete, and it was impossible to put too much energy on the barren Tubo Plateau.

At the moment, Fan Zheng's evil prescription was once again approved by the Manchu Dynasty.

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he saw this: "Spread the decree to plant Pu, in Tubo using the golden bottle to choose a new Buddha, and at the same time support another living Buddha in the Buddhist family, from now on, the reincarnation of the Buddha and the living Buddha must use the golden bottle to draw lots, report to Kaifeng to succeed to the throne, and at the same time rescue all the serfs, pardon their karmic fruits, and allocate land and cattle and sheep to them, so that they can become homesteaders." ”

"The official family is merciful."

Hundreds of officials complimented.

Baiguan believed that as soon as this method came out, Tubo would definitely be pacified quickly, and the goal of the Great Song Dynasty would only be Dali.

"Spread the decree, Dali Gao's following offenses, with ministers to force the king, forced Dali to become a monk for several generations, more wolf ambitions, seek power and usurp the throne, self-established as the emperor, I am in the middle of China, how can I sit idly by, so that Gao Shengtai immediately abdicated, and returned the throne and imperial power to the Duan family." Zhao Xu said proudly.

Zhao Xu's move can be described as righteous and awe-inspiring, he is the emperor, and naturally he hates Gao Shengtai very much, not to mention that the Great Song Dynasty, as the suzerainty of Dali, can be said to be justified for his appearance.

Not to mention that the small emperor succeeded to the throne in Goryeo at the beginning, and the imperial power was unstable, and the Great Song Dynasty sent Tong Guan to open up the Silk Road, and by the way, he supported the little emperor, so that the little emperor of Goryeo completely sat on the throne.

The honest man Fan Chunli frowned and said worriedly: "Qiqi official family, it is said that Gao Shengtai is not in good health, and he has long had the intention of abdicating. ”

Fan Zheng on the side sneered: "Father is too worried, Gao Shengtai has long had the intention of rebellion, he has just sat on the throne, if there is no external intervention, after his death, he may let his son re-support a puppet emperor of the Duan family, continue to control the court, now that the Great Song Dynasty has taken the initiative to interfere, the Gao family will not dare to give up the throne and imperial power easily, otherwise with the support of the Great Song Dynasty, once the Duan family controls the real power, it will be the time when the Gao family will be destroyed." ”

Zhao Xu bowed slightly, the Gao family controls the Dali court, whoever becomes the emperor will not affect the power of the Gao family, and the Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to interfere, the Duan family is really likely to control the real power, and the Gao family will really feel threatened, and naturally they will not give up the throne easily.

"And even if the Gao family takes the initiative to return the throne to the Duan family, then it will be completely trapped, and the Great Song Dynasty will take advantage of the situation to investigate the Gao family's crime of rebellion, the Gao family has lost the imperial power, and if they lose their military power, the Gao family will definitely die." Fan Zheng swung his fist hard.

In this way, whether the Dali minister Gao family abdicated or not, will fall into the trap of the Great Song Dynasty, the battle of Dali internal and external difficulties, but also face the Tubo and Sichuan Shu land on both sides, the southward detour strategy will be completed.

Baiguan couldn't help but gasp, fortunately, the evil doctor Fan Zheng belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, if he used all kinds of evil prescriptions on the Great Song Dynasty in other countries, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty would also suffer from his poisonous hands.

The pilgrimage ends.

The decision of the imperial court was immediately sent to the Tibetan Plateau by a fast horse, and it was half a month after Chongpu received the decree from the imperial court.

"General! How many more soldiers is the imperial court going to send this time! Yao Xiong couldn't wait.

Last time Qingtang was unstable, they asked the imperial court for help, and the imperial court finally sent 30,000 construction corps to cooperate with the Qingtang defenders, which stabilized the situation, this time the area of the Tubo Plateau is several times larger than Qingtang, and the imperial court will send at least 50,000 construction corps, no! Even the 100,000 construction corps may be able to deter the situation.

Chong Pu looked at the will of the imperial court, and said with a solemn face: "The imperial court has decided not to send a single box soldier for the time being. ”

"What?" Yao Xiong couldn't help but exclaim.

Although they directly beheaded Xibawen and his son and eliminated the biggest resisters in Tibet, the Song army was an outsider in Tibet after all, and all they could control was the larger cities such as Luoscheng.

Although the Song army was strong, the Song army was lonely, and Yao Xiong always felt that Tubo was in danger and was cautious everywhere.

Chong Pu continued: "The imperial court not only sent soldiers to come, but also asked me to wait for the beginning of spring, cooperate with Sichuan and Shu, and divide troops to attack Dali. ”

"Which fool came up with this idea, is this to annihilate our Song army?" When Yao Xiong heard this, he immediately scolded.

The Song army was already unstable on the Tubo Plateau, and if half of the troops were divided to attack Dali, I am afraid that all the Tubo troops that had just surrendered would rebel, and the Song army, which had few generals and few generals, would face an embattled situation.

"This is the advice of the evil doctor Fan Zheng!" Kind of Pu Dao.

"Ugh! The general must have teased the subordinate officials and transformed the soldiers into a construction corps, which was the strategy of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Yao Xiong didn't believe it.

The construction corps was originally Fan Zheng's proud work, and if Fan Zheng's evil side was not immediately effective, how could he not see the possible crisis in Tibet.

"It was Fan Taicheng who saw the crisis in Tibet, so he thought of another evil party, even if he didn't send a single soldier, he could let the Song army control Tibet."

Chong Pu no longer teased Yao Xiong, and handed over the will in his hand to Yao Xiong.

"How is this possible?" Yao Xiong didn't believe it at all, but when he took the will in his hand and looked at it, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Supporting the two living Buddhas and rescuing the serfs is really the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng! Yao is served! ”

Yao Xiong was immediately full of praise.

As a general, he naturally doesn't care about politics, from a military point of view, if the Great Song Dynasty can make ninety percent of the serfs return, let alone let the Song army leave half of the troops to defend, that is, the Song army will all go to the battle, and Tubo will still sit back and relax, and even they can collect a lot of soldiers from Tubo to go to the army.

"Come on, go and ask the senior monks of the Jokhang Temple to invite, and at the same time give an order to a group of Tubo lords, and the court will send a decree to let them come to some cities to receive rewards!" Chongpu commanded immediately.

The Jokhang Temple enshrines the twelve-year-old statue of Sakyamuni brought by Princess Wencheng from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, which has always been closer to the Han people, and now the Jokhang Temple is not the head of the Tibetan Buddhism, but it has a certain influence, which is the best choice for the Song Dynasty to support the living Buddha.
