Chapter 606

Henry Zhang has the confidence to do this.

Wang Hua made a deal with him. As long as he dared to do it, Wang Hua would support him with troops and also give him fifty artillery pieces.

Wang Hua's artillery stopped, and the important craftsmen quietly sent them away. It's not that they don't want to do it. The first thing is that it costs too much money. Now that the technology is not perfect, it is not worth the loss to use this kind of refined steel to make the barrel.Second, it was made anyway, and it was also given to the Tang Dynasty. Wang Hua didn't want these cannons to appear too much and change history.

Therefore, the number of artillery is limited, and Henry Zhang naturally knows this. With so many artillery, who will end up with it?Now that it's in his hands, it's his.So as soon as he took office, there was an attack.And by doing so, I will also show the world that I am no worse than Guo Yuanzhen, and dare to attack the Tibetans.

But this kid is very smart, he listened to Wang Hua's suggestion, focusing on defense and supplemented by harassment.First guard all the checkpoints, and then take small-scale sudden military operations from time to time, which makes the Tubo people very uncomfortable, and at the same time allows the Tuyuhun people to see the strength of the Tang Dynasty army.These fools have no morals to speak of. The strong are kings. The more capable you are, the more he will trust you. If you are not capable, it will be useless to treat him well.This style is very similar to the later Wa people.

Zhang Xuanbiao launched an operation in the front, and Wang Hua sent Ge Shuhan to lead 5000 troops to Jishi Mountain.At the southern end, Xinuoluo built a military camp with stone walls, which are very strong.Of course, he didn't have the confidence in his heart, but it was better to have a wall than none.

Ge Shuhan's line brought a lot of explosives, trebuchets, and artillery.

As Wang Hua thought, because of the simplicity of the longbow, now Tubo also has a longbow, but this time Ge Shuhan brought all the cannons, which suddenly silenced the Tubo people.Then the trebuchet approached, and the explosives were placed again. After only two hours, the soldiers in the barracks began to bomb the camp, and they fled in all directions.

This battle resulted in the death of more than 700 Tubo soldiers and the capture of more than 600 prisoners.

The captives have been captured, and now there are not so many roads and water conservancy projects to be built in the 23 states.There are definitely some, the more repairs the better, whether it is water conservancy or roads, it is a major event that will benefit hundreds of years.But Wang Hua didn't want to start work.It costs money to build.

So the captives were gathered in Yinshan or Jishishan, and the city was built, and the castles were built one by one, which will be very beneficial to the future border defense.In fact, until now, Wang Hua did not want to expand the territory. To the south is the Bailan tribe. The climate is cold and the altitude is higher, and the people are not used to this environment.To the north is the Yin Mountain, the climate is also colder, and there is no terrain to defend.Taking it down now is still not worth the loss.Until the emergence of more powerful firearms, the nomads lose their immediate advantage, and that is the time for them to truly surrender.

Not only did he build the city, but he also only gave him two meals of porridge a day.

I also came up with a nice name, "It's not that I'm unrighteous. Did you see that I've given you food and drink, and didn't kill you, but you, Tubo, don't want to beg you anymore, and only agreed to use [-] yuan to be captured by your Tubo?" The obtained Central Plains people were exchanged.But what about the Turks?Their prisoners of war are only more than half of yours, but they have used nearly [-] civilians.Are you really so worthless?I can't afford it now, so you can only drink millet porridge.

Unfortunately, after a month, these prisoners of war were so thin that only skin and bones remained.

These prisoners of war were sent back, and after listening to Wang Hua's bewitching, most likely they would not be very loyal to Tubo.

Wang Hua didn't take this war seriously. Now that Tubo saw that he had reconciled with the Tang Dynasty, he might not dare to launch a large-scale battle. Besides, Li Longji was also ambitious, and he would never, like Webster, do it for the sake of The country betrays the country and seeks glory.

Therefore, he immediately disbanded all [-] militiamen.

This is also the biggest weakness of the 23 states. In such a large area, there are only about a million people. This is the 30 people brought back by Wang Hua from Dafeichuan and other states, as well as from Turkic. Reduced by more than [-].

But in the past two years, although the lives of the people have improved, tens of thousands of soldiers have been sacrificed, that is, one member of every three families has died or been seriously injured.

Now is the time to cultivate your health.

Then there's the wedding.

Before the wedding, Wang Hua found Li Chiying again and talked with her for a while.

Unlike Li Gu'er, neither of her parents is alive, but Li Chiying's father and brother are all still alive.Wang Hua didn't want to know that a few years later, the story of Master Sun carrying Liu Chan back to Soochow.

The little girl gritted her teeth and thought about it for a long time, but Wang Hua was not disappointed. It would be good for everyone to think carefully.If Li Chiying agreed immediately like Mang Zhang Fei did, Wang Hua would be a little worried instead.

At last he nodded.

It's not easy, Wang Hua and Li Bao'er have been sent away by Wang Hua before they got married.She has also been suffering for many years, and has been suffering since Wang Hua's scientific examination. First, she was kidnapped by her father, and the person who kidnapped him has not been found out until now.

This time the wedding was equally grand.

Wang Hua also sent a large amount of gifts like the time he hired Li Bao'er. There are many debts and there is no rush, and Li Chiying can't make Li Chiying feel wronged.

But at this time, Song Jing said a word inappropriately: "The imperial court has lost all face!"

Anyway, now Li Chiying is the most honorable princess, even if Wang Hua marries Li Chiying, she will obediently hold the wedding in Chang'an, even if it is over, she will return to Lingzhou.But now it was done in Lingzhou, and even the Xiangwang didn't participate.In order to live in peace, the imperial court did not care about self-esteem at all.

After hearing the news, Wang Hua wrote a letter to Da Song, saying in the letter that a gentleman still has the beauty and virtue of an adult, and I have helped you to some extent. You asked me to go back to Chang'an for the wedding. Think about it. Did the wedding go smoothly?

Da Song didn't reply to the letter, probably very displeased with Wang Hua's arrogance now.

However, Da Song and Yao Yuanzhi worked together to eradicate Li Xianshi's various disadvantages, promoted and appointed loyal and virtuous people, demoted and repelled treacherous and unscrupulous people, rewarded and punished fairly, and the bad atmosphere of bribery and intercession disappeared immediately. Items have been rectified.The wind is positive, and the ruling and opposition parties agree that the country has returned to the atmosphere of Zhenguan Yonghui.

Moreover, the two wrote a letter together with Bi Gou to suggest: "All the oblique officials appointed by the previous dynasty should be dismissed."

It was this suggestion that suddenly dismissed thousands of officials from their posts.

This is a good one-time decompression. These thousands of officials don't say that they are corrupt and accept bribes, but the country spends a lot of money on their salaries every year.

After Wang Hua heard this, he remained silent, and his subordinates also had talents. Xiao Yaxuan and Song Wen were steady and conscientious, Zhu Dian was wise, and Mo Hegan was harmonious. When it comes to governing government affairs, they are far from these two.

But he knew that the biggest hidden danger in the court had come out.

After receiving the news of Wang Hua's marriage, Li Dan couldn't bear it anymore this time, and asked Princess Taiping to lift Li Chongmao off the dragon chair again, and Li Dan sat on the dragon chair as he wished.

Although the Xuanwumen coup was initiated by Li Longji, in recent years, Princess Taiping and Li Dan have supported each other and made important contributions to the preservation of Li Dan.When Li Longji launched a coup, she also participated in the planning.

Later, she was the one who rebuked Li Chongmao many times and lifted Li Chongmao off the dragon chair twice, so her contribution was no less than that of Li Longji.

Because of his great achievements and his efforts to help her all these years, Li Dan believed in Princess Taiping very much.

In addition, she is decisive and sensitive in dealing with affairs, and is full of contingency strategies. Li Dan often discusses the country's major affairs with her.Every time he entered the court to play an event, he had to sit with Li Dan and talk for a long time.Sometimes when she did not go to court, Li Dan would send the prime minister to her home to inquire about long-deliberated matters.

Another point is that Li Dan himself is also wise, but in order to protect himself, he has developed a very bad habit in the past few years, and he likes to practice Tai Chi.This practice of Tai Chi is just like Su Weiwei's, ambiguous, it's okay to be a courtier, but it's not good to be an emperor, you have to wait for his reply.

Therefore, when there are unresolved matters or important matters, he will ask: "Have you discussed this matter with Princess Taiping?" Or ask: "Have you discussed this matter with Saburo (Li Longji)?"

It was only two or three months, because of Li Dan's decentralization, Li Dan did not agree with anything that Princess Taiping wanted to do.The promotion of the military and military officials in North Korea and Chinese was almost a word in her mouth.Her power implicitly surpassed that of Li Dan.

At the beginning, Princess Taiping also conscientiously assisted Li Dan to stabilize the country, but because of Li Dan's indulgence, Princess Taiping began to indulge.

Wang Hua's evaluation of this matter is: "Raise the uncle Duan."

However, something happened at this time. Seeing that the imperial court had just been replaced and the political situation was unstable, Zheng Yin thought he could take advantage of this opportunity. He took a big gamble and sneaked back to Junzhou. Governor of the state.This appointment was precisely because Li Chongfu had been operating in Junzhou for many years, and he was suddenly transferred from Hubei to Sichuan, which would break his foundation.

Just before Li Chongfu was about to take office, Zheng Yin found Zhang Lingzeng, and after a secret conversation, Zhang Lingjun began to lobby Li Chongfu: "Your Highness, you are the eldest son of the first emperor, and you should inherit the throne. Although the king has merit, you should not inherit the throne." The people in Dongdu all hope that you can come to Luoyang. If you sneak into Luoyang, mobilize left and right battalions, kill Dongdu and stay behind by surprise, and then occupy Dongdu, it will be like a miracle. And then attack Shanzhou , to the east, you can take the areas on both sides of the Yellow River, and the world will spread the message."

It can't be said that it doesn't make sense, but the soldiers in his hand?

If Wang Hua helped, there would still be a half chance of success. However, Wang Hua saw that His Royal Highness was less desirable than Li Chongjun, so he didn't have any thoughts of catching a cold at all.

But Li Chongfu really believed it, so he sent Zhang Lingjun and Zheng Mi to conspire and gathered dozens of dead men.At this time, Zheng Yin had once again been demoted from the secretary supervisor to the governor of Yuanzhou, but he sneaked back to Luoyang and stayed there, waiting for Li Chongfu's arrival.Even the drafting of the book was drafted, the year was changed to Zhongyuan Kefu, Li Dan was respected as the emperor's uncle, and Li Chongmao was named the emperor's younger brother. He himself served as the left prime minister and presided over the civil affairs inside and outside the court; , General Tianzhu, presided over military affairs; appointed You Sanqi's regular servant Yan Shansi as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the affairs of the Ministry of Officials.

The old boy suddenly promoted himself to the first prime minister.

Li Chongfu and Zhang Lingjun sneaked into Luoyang by post car, and Zheng Yin arranged for Li Chongfu to be secretly received in the mansion of Pei Xun, the son-in-law captain.

Officials in Luoyang heard about this and went to Pei's house to inquire. When they saw Li Chongfu, they didn't know how many people Li Chongfu had brought in to sneak in. After the officials of Luoyang heard the news, many people fled or hid in fear.

But not all officials fled.Cui Rizhi, a cousin of Cui Riyong, was not a good official, but he was very brave. He immediately prepared to mobilize the army when he heard about it.On this side, Li Chongfu ran around the palace with his hands, but was very unlucky, and ran into Li Yong again.

He was riding on a horse, thinking about the tasks assigned by Wang Hua. Wang Hua looked up to him very much and asked him to write calligraphy, and compose poems and poems, a total of three tasks.This is a long-faced thing. Seeing these people rushing over, there are hundreds of followers this time.Immediately galloped to the camp and told these soldiers: "King Qiao Li Chongfu was convicted by the late emperor, and now he has entered the Eastern Capital for no reason.

"No!" replied in unison.This time Wan Qi from Chang'an has a long face, which makes the Yulin soldiers in Luoyang very jealous.

So as soon as Li Chongfu arrived at the camp, arrows fell like rain.Li Chongjun had no choice but to go to Zuoyemen, wanting to recruit the troops left behind in the Eastern Capital, but these troops had already been greeted by Cui Rizhi.The gate of the city was closed tightly, and no one paid attention to him. He was furious and sent someone to set fire to the gate of the city.Before the fire ignited, the soldiers in the left and right camps were forced to come over because of their eagerness to do meritorious service.Li Chongfu was desperate, so he had to escape from the upper east gate and hide in the valley.But he didn't have Wang Hua's ability, nor did Li Chongjun's good luck. With Wang Hua's help, Cui Rizhi led the army and searched for him in the mountains. Li Chongfu had no choice but to commit suicide by throwing himself into Caoqu.

Seeing that something was wrong, the other mastermind, Zheng Yin, combed his hair in a bun, put on women's clothes, and hid in the car to escape.However, although he is good at writing, he has an ugly appearance and is full of beards. It is better to pretend to be other people. No matter how he pretends to be a woman, he can't pretend to be like him, so he was arrested immediately.When he was being interrogated, his legs trembled with fright. Seeing him like this, Zhang Lingjun regretted and said, "No wonder Northwest Wang Er refused to cooperate with us at the beginning. How can we be undefeated if we conspire with a coward like you!"

So both of them were beheaded in Luoyang Nanshi.

In Zheng's life, he can be considered capable. First, he voted for Junchen and got promoted.After Lai Junchen was killed, the judgment was based on Zhang Yizhi again, and he was still prosperous and rich.After Zhang Yizhi was executed, he immediately defected to Wu Sansi Webster.But the last big gamble finally failed, Prime Minister Zuo didn't take it seriously, and instead was punished by the clan along with his family.

After Zhu Dian heard about this, he said to Wang Hua, "Boss Wang, the country is really troubled."

Wang Hua said sarcastically: "Ninth Five-Year Supreme, who wouldn't want that?"

Zhu Tong sighed and said, "Maybe, what you said is still right."

If the emperor didn't have such great power, why so many accidents?However, without an emperor, Zhu Dian also felt at a loss as to how to govern the world.

At this time, Wu Lunyang Guo found Wang Hua again.

Now Tubo is very passive, and the blood camp has only attacked once, but this Henry Zhang has attacked three times, and the gains are not great, but it makes the Tubo people panic.

They are not afraid of Henry Zhang, if there is no support from the blood camp, Henry Zhang is just a toothless tiger.

So this time they had to reluctantly make a huge concession.

Wang Hua didn't talk about it, but said another thing: "The barbarians in Yaozhou (Yao'an, Yunnan) rebelled and killed the court official Li Zhigu, but you Tibetans ordered them?"

Wu Lunyang Guo quickly said: "Mr. Wang, we are negotiating in good faith. You can't get back the crime. Why do you have no excuses? When did this happen? Last winter, it has nothing to do with this plan." .”

This happened in the twelfth lunar month of last year, and the reason was that the barbarians in Yaozhou attached themselves to Tubo.Li Zhigu asked the army to conquer, and the barbarian tribes were afraid of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty again, but Li Zhigu asked again to build a city in Yaozhou, but Xu Jian, the servant of the Huangmen, thought it could not be done, so his suggestion was not adopted.However, Li Zhigu privately mobilized Jiannan soldiers and horses to build the city for greed, and deliberately lured the leaders of the barbarians over, and then killed them.As soon as the leaders died, he thought that the big thing could be settled, so he lavished miscellaneous taxes on the people and plundered their children as slaves, making the barbarians resentful, so he led the Tubo army to kill Li Zhigu The corpse is sacrificed to heaven.As a result, Yaozhou and Xunzhou fell into the hands of Tubo again, and they did not get through after many years.

Wang Hua took a while to find out that this incident was caused by Li Zhigu, and the Tubo people probably only participated passively, because Yaozhou and Xizhou are dominated by mountainous terrain, which is a weak point for the Tang Dynasty, but for Tubo. That being said, the same road is far away, and it doesn't make much sense to get it.

But if the situation hadn't changed, the Tibetans would definitely expand the southern affairs from this breakthrough.

Thinking of this, he said, "I just trust you Tibetans once."

Guo Cai heaved a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Wang Hua would ask for the two prefectures of Yao and Xi, and the Tubo people would be managed by Jimi.

So this time finally negotiated in a friendly atmosphere.Wang Huasong let loose, Tubo promised to repay [-] people, and had to increase the number. Now the political situation is different from the political situation a few months ago.But it is impossible for one hundred thousand people.As soon as Tubo gets another princess, he will also lose face and have to shake the foundation.

However, Wang Hua reduced the number this time, but also put forward a condition.

The [-] people and Princess Jincheng were not sent to Lingzhou, but directly entered Tianzhu from Tubo. Because of the food trade in this area, Lu Ergou and the others were very familiar with the local tribes and small vassal states, so they boarded a boat and went directly to Oceania.

Otherwise, after returning to Lingzhou, there will be troubles, maybe the court will let Princess Jincheng return to Chang'an.If Wang Hua can't stop it, then after a few years, maybe the imperial court will make another foolish move and give Princess Jincheng to the Tubo people again.

But these common people Wang Hua belonged to another sect, and they went to Oceania in name, but in fact most of them were transferred to the north.

When they arrived in Siberia, the people didn't catch a cold because the weather was too cold.But the people in Tubo are different. They stayed on the plateau and adapted to the cold weather.Separate these people and transfer them all. It’s not that China didn’t want this area later. The living conditions in ancient times were backward, and the people thought they couldn’t survive. .

But Wang Hua prepared a lot for today, including sending people up to move the food and find the coal mine.Going now, there is still time, all we have to do is transfer a large amount of food, build houses for them, and survive this winter.But this behavior was not noticed, and it was farther north in the Outer Xing'an Mountains. This was to prevent the Mohe people in the north from noticing.There are not only Mohe people in the north, but also Shiwei people, Tieli people, Sumo people, Yulou people, Heishui people, and Moyei people. Even the place where Heilongjiang enters the sea lives in the Libu people. There lived people from the Kushuo tribe, who was one of the later Jurchen ancestors.Probably because the weather is warmer now.

Therefore, these tens of thousands of people did not start landing until they reached the north of the Ewentsk Sea. The future development will also develop westward, not southward.

Wang Hua sent two more soldiers from the blood battalion to escort them.

This matter is over, and he has no other worries, and finally started to prepare for making the tripod of Kyushu!
