Chapter 1013: I'm Hungry
The scenery of Tubo is completely different from the desert, and the northwest of Daning is also slightly different, the grain yield in the northwest of Daning is not high, most of the area is a plateau, and there are not enough water sources so agriculture is restricted, but fortunately, Daning is rich enough, although the materials that are subsidized to the northwest every year sound huge, but it is not much pressure for Daning.
The rivers here in Tibet are densely packed, and although the waterways are narrow, the water is turbulent and cannot be navigated, but the irrigation of water is very good, so the grain production is quite abundant.
The most important thing is that Tubo also produces horses and minerals, which has contributed to Tubo becoming the overlord of the Western Regions.
However, the most serious problem in Tibet was that even though they were rich in goods and self-sufficient, and could obtain a large amount of gold and silver by selling iron tools and war horses to the Western Regions, the people lived in poverty.
First, the taxes levied by the Tibetan court were extremely heavy, and second, a quarter of the land of the Tibetan kingdom was in the hands of Zen Buddhism, and these lands did not pay tribute or grain, and they also enjoyed many privileges.
A quarter of the land was not taxed, so the imperial court compensated by leaning heavy taxes on the peasants.
The aristocracy lived in great luxury, and the common people would starve to death if they had some bad years.
Speaking of which, the existence value of the people here in Tibet is slightly better than that of Lou Ran, most of the people are serfs, and their lives are inferior to a cow, less than a horse, and barely equivalent to a mule.
If you want to enter Tibet from the west, you have to break through the city wall built by the Tubo State for several years and a lot of manpower and material resources, and the city wall adjacent to Daning stretches for nearly a thousand miles.
With the combat power of the Gengzi battalion and the Wuzi battalion, it is naturally not difficult to break through a city pass, but the consumption is incalculable, Shen Leng does not intend to let the soldiers pay a tragic price in this place, so he sent someone to contact the right sage king of Tubo Mo Dio for the first time, about a month ago, after Shen Leng cut off the head of the king of Tubo with a knife, the general talked about Kyushu and knew that Tubo would become a breakthrough in this battle, so he sent a secret envoy into Tubo to contact Modio, the right sage king.
In the country of Tibet, there are thousands of nobles of all sizes, among which the strength of the royal family is naturally the strongest, but the king is dead, the strength of the royal family has become difficult to estimate, in addition to the royal family, there are many people who have the qualifications to compete for the king of Tibet, such as the left king Dodio, the right king Modio, the general of the Tibetan country, the general of the Tibetan country, the general Deng Keduo and others.
The most powerful person outside the royal family is Zuoxian Wang Dodio, he is the cousin of the king of Tubo, has a large number of fiefs and private soldiers, rich and rival the country, and he himself is a branch of the royal family, and has reached an agreement with the royal family, he becomes the new king of Tubo, at least the royal family will not decline.
It is the Zuoxian King Dodio who supports the rest of the people, so he is even more domineering, and has killed more than a dozen courtiers in the court who disobey him in a row, and has also entered the capital of the Tubo State, and has not yet ascended the throne and called the emperor, so he feels that the name of the capital of the Tubo State is not pleasant, and the capital is renamed the Heavenly Emperor City, this huge ambition, anyway, it sounds very like that.
In addition to King Zuoxian, the second most powerful is the general Yash, he is the leading general in the southeast of the Tubo country, with no less than 100,000 troops under his command, Dodio entered the capital to prepare to inherit the throne, he was the first to stand up against it, and Dodio did not give him face, and directly declared him a traitor.
Yash sits on a land of thousands of miles, and there are 100,000 troops, of course he is not afraid of Dodio, he sent a letter half a month ago, saying that he would lead the army into the capital to support the royal family and assist the young lord, but if the young lord is really so good to assist, it will not make Dodio so rampant, the so-called young lord is not the son of the king of Tubo at all, the two sons of the king of Tubo have not been intercepted and killed halfway back to the capital from their fiefdoms, their brothers thought that whoever ran fast was the king of Tubo, but they didn't expect that whoever ran fast would die first, As for who did it, no one will admit that this young lord is the grandson of the king of Tubo, and was rescued from the fiefdom mansion by the general Yash.
Speaking of which, the right sage king, who has contact with Kyushu, is a little embarrassed, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers, and there will be no more than a dozen, and the place he is in charge of is close to Ningdi, which has been barren for so many years, not because the land is barren, but because it is too close to Daning, so he does not dare to be inhabited, even if he orders to seize a lot of serfs, it will not take long to escape.
Later, the Right Virtuous King listened to the advice of the advisors, and all the farmers who came to cultivate here could get rid of the slave status, and in the first year, they could receive free grain seeds from the Right Virtuous King, and only the same amount of seeds needed to be returned after the grain was beaten, and in the second year, about one-third of the grain production was collected, which was relatively attractive, so the Modio fief of the Right Virtuous King had only a little more color in the past few years.
The difference between him and other Tibetan nobles is that he is friendly with the Ning people, if it weren't for the last time the king of Tubo thought that he could rely on hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops to break through Ningxi Xinjiang and dissuade him, his life would not be so sad, he is not from the royal family, this right Xian Wang is inherited from his ancestors, his ancestors used to be a branch of the royal family, but the blood relationship has long faded, the Western Regions are chaotic, his ancestors led the army to expand the territory of the Tubo country to the west by more than a quarter, the credit is too great, so he has to be named the right Xian King, hereditary replacement.
In Modio's generation, the original fief was deprived and given to the Zuoxian King Dodio, and he was forced to go to a place close to the frontier, because of his good war, the Tubo king did not like him and had to use him, counting on him to be able to block the Ningren.
After being suppressed, Modio was also disheartened, and he just wanted to live a good life now, but he didn't expect that after the death of the king of Tubo, Dodio, the king of Zuoxian, sent someone to give him an order to let him enter the capital, and he was not stupid, of course he knew that there was no return, even if he did not have the heart to be the emperor, he would be regarded by Dodio as an opponent in addition to the fast, so he simply began to build an army, but the fief was so big, and there were so many serfs, and it was only more than 10,000 troops.
Before Shen Leng came, the general talked about Kyushu and said that Modio would definitely send someone to pick him up, because it was no one else who gave Modio the idea to expand his strength, it was Tan Kyushu who instructed him to respond.
Talking about Kyushu is naturally not about Modio as a friend, but he intends to support Modio to confront the Tubo royal court, and there is another thing in Kyushu that he told him before Shen Leng set off, and there is also an internal response he sent by Dodio's side, and it is this internal response that gave Dodio the idea to quickly summon Modio to the capital and then design to get rid of it, the situation in Tibet is so chaotic, and it has a lot to do with the people who talk about Kyushu.
It can be said that now Modio has made up his mind to compete with Dodio, which is the result of the general's talk about Kyushu behind the scenes, His Majesty the Emperor Daning was furious because Shen Leng went to Houque State, and wanted to write a letter to scold Kyushu, but in the end the letter was only eight words...... Fight hard, I can trust you.
It is precisely because His Majesty the Emperor Daning has the wisdom to know people, if Tan Kyushu is not a qualified general, and he is not so far-sighted and unable to strategize, how can he rest assured that he will hand over the western Xinjiang to Tan Kyushu?
Running the Western Xinjiang is not just as simple as keeping the enemy from entering.
It's just that there has been no opponent in Kyushu for so many years, and now Galocleo is here.
This is also why Shen Leng said that he wanted to lead the army into Tubo to talk about Kyushu and did not have any special objection, in Tubo, he should have more than one inside, there are others around King Zuoxian, there are also people around King Youxian, and even there are people around the royal family of the capital, but there are people who should not be placed in the general Yash, that person hates Daning, don't say that there are Ning people around him, even if he hears someone mention the Ning people, he will be furious, he once said that his greatest wish is to lead the army to break through Chang'an and exterminate the Ning people.
When His Majesty Emperor Daning heard about Yash's grand wish, he couldn't help but smile and said that famous sentence...... God's fairness is reflected in the fact that anyone is given the right to brag at will.
The frontier of the Tibetan state.
Shen Leng waited outside the city wall with more than 60,000 troops, he had been waiting for half a day, and the people sent had not replied, so Shen Leng's patience had not become so great, he was not a person who could be patient with the people he didn't like, if he wanted to take a ranking of the people he didn't like, the rest people would be the first, the Tubo people would be the second, the Heiwu people would barely be the third, and the fourth would be the Bohai people.
Just when Shen Leng ordered the army to compare, the city gate opened, Shen Leng still thought that the right sage king Modio should still be swaying, and he didn't believe that Daning could still divide troops to support him at this moment, so Shen Leng planned to let the soldiers compare and let the Tubo people defending the city feel what strength is.
The city gate opened, Shen Leng led people into Tubo, Yang Hatshui, the general of the Gengzi battalion, led the team first, Shen Leng was in the center, and Luo Kedi, the general of the Wuzi battalion, led the team as the rear team.
Chen Ran sat on the back of the horse as if he had been thinking about something, and Shen Leng glanced at him: "What are you thinking?" ”
"Thinking about the name of the Tibetan people, I heard a joke, saying that in a certain place, a child was born, and the father ran out as soon as possible, and named the child what he heard it, so I thought at first that this is the case here in Tibet. Later, I thought about it, and I couldn't do it, you see, Modio...... If you say it in our dialect, you just don't have a dick...... According to the joke, his father saw something when he rushed out. ”
Shen Leng thought for a while: "He's okay, what do you think about Prince Zuo Dodio and his father saw when they rushed out?" ”
Chen Ran snorted and laughed: "But if you think about that Tubo General Yash, didn't his father happen to see a duck pooping when he rushed out?" ”
Chen Ran thought for a while: "What you said may be right. ”
At this time, the greeting officials sent by Modio, the king of the right sage, arrived, and ran over quickly, his face was full of fear when he saw Shen Leng, Modio was indeed very entangled, he was not only worried about whether the Ning people could really support him to become the new king of Tubo, he was more worried that once the Ning people were put in, it would be to lure the wolf into the house, and it was easy to invite the gods to send the gods.
The people of Koning were his only hope, and after struggling for a long time, he finally chose to believe in talking about Kyushu.
"Will ...... Checkmate. ”
The Tubo officials who greeted him knotted their tongues: "His Royal Highness the Prince has sincerely set up a banquet in Luhu City and waited for the general to arrive. ”
Shen Leng nodded: "How far is it from here to Luhu City?" ”
"It's going to take three days."
"Then your prince is indeed very sincere."
Shen Leng looked at Chen Ran, Chen Ran smiled and said, "In three days, we will have a bad meal......"
Shen Leng leaned over and looked at the official: "I'm not a person who has a lot of things, and I don't pay so much attention to food, and I am especially casual about eating, mainly because I don't like to eat bad food, so I bother you to go back and tell your prince that he will come here to invite me to dinner, I want to eat fresh." ”
Shen Leng waved his hand: "Ordered the Wuzi battalion to occupy the city wall, and the city gate must be in our own hands, and ordered the Gengzi battalion to set up a camp in front." ”
Shen Leng jumped down from his war horse and moved the activity: "Let your prince come faster, I'm hungry." ”
