Zhizhang Datang

Chapter 462 Wen Zhi Wu Gong
Lin Sen's reward came down with the triumphant army, and his position had reached its peak for the time being, and he could not be promoted any further.

Most of the people in front of him were senior generals like Niu Jinda. They were all there in terms of seniority and seniority, and their meritorious service was not bad. It was impossible to give Lin Sen his position.

At a young age, he became the General of the Sixteenth Guards. There is really no way to get promoted, so he just promoted his honor and title.

Now he can barely be called "Grandpa", but it is a bit early to say Duke, because he is the lowest founding county Duke among the Dukes, but it is indeed a great honor.

Among his peers, apart from Chang Sun Chong, who was lucky enough to inherit his father's title early, he, a self-made guy, actually had the highest title.

However, he didn't have much time to rest at home. After arranging the necessary retreat routes for his wife and children, he set off with the army of the Wa Kingdom.

In addition to leaving some necessary defenders in Goguryeo, they relied more on partial divisions to harass them, affect their farming seasons, cause famine, and drive more Khitan and Mohe people to fight Goguryeo.

The main energy of the Tang Dynasty was still put on the side of the Wa country.

Facing the well-prepared Tang army, the Wa country, which hastily responded to the battle, was obviously very passive, and the pressure it could put on the Tang army was extremely limited.

Now they are far from the samurai sword manufacturing technology in the future. Facing Tang Jun's knives, guns and bows, their poor bamboo armor and paper are no different, and their swords can cause Tang Jun's armor. And extremely limited.

In addition, the Japanese warriors who had not experienced large-scale borrowing in China were generally short in height. Facing the tall Guanzhong elites of the Tang army, they were beaten to the point of crying like adults bullying children.

The advance speed of the Tang army is faster than when facing Goguryeo, especially the big killer such as the incendiary tank, which is also more fully prepared, and the warship is constantly being replenished.

Coupled with the fact that most cities in this island country are very limited in distance from the coast, the Tang army can fully take advantage of the fact that it has already fully occupied the dominance of the sea, and replenish food and supplies from the sea to its heart's content. It's smooth sailing.

If Li Chengqian hadn't issued an order to capture the entire island of the Wa Kingdom, the Tang army would have bloodbathed all the cities of the Wa Kingdom by now.

Right now, it is better to bring those important gold, silver and copper mines into the actual control area of ​​Datang.

All those who participated in the battle and became prisoners of the Tang army were undoubtedly put into various mines and became slaves to contribute to the development of Datang.

After obtaining these mines, Li Chengqian did not blindly start the three-level currency system of gold, silver and copper, but first supplemented the resources of copper coins, established that Datang Tongbao had enough credit, and then gradually relaxed the restrictions on gold and silver , the official gold and silver reserves are also limited to flow into the market.

This was of course all due to Lin Sen's guidance. After he talked about a few typical cases of currency collapse, Li Chengqian quickly put away his idea of ​​throwing all the gold and silver into Datang.

Development does not happen overnight, and if you are eager for success, you may kill Datang.

If it was not destroyed by foreign enemies, but instead was supported by a half-baked economy, then Li Chengqian would have to laugh at him generously. It is not impossible to have a bad reputation for thousands of years, so he cannot be allowed to be careless.

After seeing the benefits of the Wa Kingdom, Datang unified its thinking, first recruited a large army, and defeated the entire Wa Kingdom.

Based on several major mines, the entire Wa country will be built into a wealth base of Datang.

As for the local people of the Wa country, they naturally have to accept the enslavement education carefully prepared by Datang.

Let's talk about their origins from the time when Xu Fu Dongdu was there, and arrange them all the way to the time of Datang.

The purpose is one, to tell the local people of the Wa country that in fact, you are destined to be slaves of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, as long as you work hard, you can still hope to live a decent life like the people of the heaven.

Compared with the untouchables who don't even have a name, even being an ordinary person in the Tang Dynasty is definitely an extremely happy thing.

So, struggle, work hard.

After that, civil strife finally broke out in Tubo, and Songtsen Gampo was successfully assassinated by the old-school nobles who had been at odds with him.

The name Lu Dongzan is also the patriarch of a powerful tribe, and he is unable to turn the tide, because he has also become the target of all other nobles.

Just when they were fighting in full swing, a force supported by Datang was obviously the one established by those Gurkha war slaves under Lin Sen, under the banner of "overthrowing the slave owners and dividing the land as masters" , successfully gained the support of a large number of Tubo serfs, and began to grow rapidly.

In the end, Tubo ceased to exist, and the newly established Tibetan government directly declared its surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Taking a closer look, it is not difficult to find that in fact, there are many real Tang people in their ruling class. They are all the guys who used to do business on the plateau with the hired Nibra warriors.

After tidying up Tubo, Goguryeo fought with Khitan and Mohe people almost, and their vitality was exhausted.

For the Khitan and Mohe tribes, because they have been trading women for spirits with Datang all the year round, their own breeding speed has been greatly affected. There are no children from women, and their long-term alcoholism caused Nearly sterilized, their offspring became extremely scarce.

In the process of fighting against Goguryeo, most of the mature fighters died in battle, and the threat was naturally greatly reduced.

At this time, the new generation of Datang has grown up, and the number of Ding population may more than double. The original land can no longer meet the needs of so many people.

Some people naturally went to the relatively more prosperous south. With the increasing exchanges between the north and the south, the northerners will no longer regard the south as a daunting way as before.

We all know that the food over there can be harvested several seasons a year, and the output is very rich. In addition, commerce and trade have also become developed. With the encouragement of official policies, there will always be some people who will either actively or passively move there. It took root there.

The same situation also appeared between the white mountains and black waters.

After the industrious and capable Han people from the Central Plains came, relying on their strong assimilation ability and perseverance, those Khitan and Mohe people either integrated into the Han people or moved to other places, and it was difficult to become popular again.

After a period of development, the Tang Dynasty, with a strong army and a vast territory, finally freed up its hands after completely digesting the Tubo Plateau in the southwest, the black land in the northeast, and the country of Japan, and aimed at the still The exhilarating Western Turkic strife.
