Section 302 Tibetan Countermeasures (2)
Withdraw, to put it lightly, Changbayo is now engaged in trade with the Tang border army I don't know how prosperous, the Tubo people buy Tang tea, porcelain, silk, wine and utensils with gold (sand), silver (ingots), copper coins, medicinal materials, furs and yaks, and make a lot of money, and also give large bribes to high-ranking officials and magnates below the Qinling (without their consent, Changbayo can't do it, in fact, on the Qinling belongs to the Zhitang faction) The people close to Changbayo also have a share of the profits. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The appetite of the Tang Dynasty is very great, and the above-mentioned items of the Tubo people will be collected as much as they want, for example, the tribes on the banks of the Jinsha River produce placer gold, that play is useless for the tribe at all, and other tribes do not accept it, and the tribes stay at the low level of bartering, for them, the first value is livestock, the second is daily necessities, and a bucket is better than a handful of placer gold.
However, the Tang people are very fond of gold dusting, and the gold placer produced in Tibet was sold to the Tang Dynasty, and the silver sand was also sold very well.
For example, the Tang Dynasty taught the Tubo people to find a kind of "Cordyceps" medicinal materials, and they also harvested as much as they wanted, and a large number of them were supplied to the Tang Dynasty every year, and it was the harvest season.
In the past, the trade between Datang and Tubo was relatively difficult, and there was a lack of mutual trust between the two sides. And the official magistrates and border generals dare not do trade, for fear of impeaching the officials, not a joke, who would dare to do a big hat that colludes with Tibet to be pressed down and cause the hat to be lost?
Now the trade is much better, the border general of the Tang Dynasty called Feng Xiaobao dared to do trade, he established a field, managed by them, the Tubo people came to trade are protected, and it is really protection, a while ago the Tang army also fought a battle for the Tubo people and other Tubo people! The trade is very fair, and the magnates of Tubo have finally tasted the sweetness of trade!
There is also summer in Tibet, and it is also very hot when it heats up, and only the clothes made of silk from the Tang Dynasty can show the difference of the magnates, and in summer, they wear silk, while the other Tubo people also wear thick leather clothes (at most one arm is exposed), and the heat is so hot that it is scratching, and the sense of superiority is very different.
The Tibetan people eat a lot of meat, and the barley they eat is coarse, which is difficult to digest, and the local bitter cold vegetables are difficult to grow, and the stomach is often uncomfortable if they do not drink tea.
The plateau does not produce tea, the source is lost by the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty sells tea (this is a strategic item, the Tubo people must exchange gold and silver), and the dignitaries of the Tubo do not lack tea to drink.
Speaking of wine, the Xihai wine produced in the Tang Dynasty has conquered the entire Tubo in a short period of time, this is the wine, strong enough, the barley wine produced by the Tubo people is sugar water!
Even the golden tent where everyone is meeting now is ordered to buy it from Datang!
The Tubo people couldn't do the business of sticking tents with gold leaf, so they had to buy it from Datang.
……
As soon as the trade opened, there was no gold tael and more than 100,000 copper coins, and no one in the upper echelons of Tubo who got the benefits wanted to touch this golden rooster that could only lay eggs, but some tribal leaders were unhappy.
They didn't have anything to participate in trade, and they couldn't get any benefits, so they used the identity of Feng Xiaobao, the big Tang border general who did trade, to attack Changbayo, saying that he was a Tang traitor and a Tang fan!
Feng Xiaobao dared to do trade, and he also dared to kill people, and killed a lot of Tubo people, he had a knife on his side and silver on his side, maybe he would not be suspicious of the imperial court.
Zermatt is one of them, this guy is a good fighter, the tribe can fight, and the production and trade are completely unleveled, and it is better to touch the hillside (referring to the collection of cordyceps) than to cut people to make money.
He stood up and shouted, "There is a lot of farmland in Tonghuang County, and there are mountains of horses and animals!" Changbayo was ordered to attack there, but he didn't move, he was not a spy who else was, he colluded with Tang Jun, and Tang Jun actually ran to his territory to open a trading shop to receive goods! ”
At this moment, it is absolutely impossible to recognize, Changbayo stood up and argued loudly: "There is no such thing at all, Tang Jun came to my territory to do business?" Joke! The reason why I didn't get through Huangxian was because I lost the fight with them, so I had to stop fighting, and my plateau man counted......"
What to recognize and what not to recognize, Changba is about to be measured.
The two sides argued, and had a good discussion about who was the spy on Tang Strategy, and as a result, he slapped the table and said, "Don't quarrel!" ”
Everyone had no choice but to stop, and said on Qinling's fingers Dulun and Valentin: "Tell me about it!" ”
He's shielding Changbayo!
But is it really?
Du Lun gave an account of the information of Songzhou, Maozhou, Minzhou, Hezhou and other states bordering Tibet on the western front: "They have all strengthened the city defenses, actively trained government soldiers, and prepared for war very intensely, if our army attacks, it may lead to certain losses." ”
"Okay, everyone knows the third-line military situation, and the prime minister has decided that after the thaw in spring, maintain the pressure on Shanqi in the Western Regions, and invade the four prefectures of Sha, Su, Gan, and Liang with a small number of rangers, not to fight fortified cities, but only to fight in the field, concentrate more than 30,000 horses, attack Fuzhou, and teach the Tang people a lesson!"
Yes, Tonghuang County is an important supply point for the Tang Army, and Qinling actually ignored it and let Tonghuang County go, and Changbayo's business is only afraid to be even more prosperous!
Thinking of the goods and beautiful orchids that Changbayo got (the Tang people don't sell Tang girls, other bearded girls are also sold), Zermatt called out to the general and said: "What kind of mountain infantry division are the Tang people are engaged in in Tonghuang County, I don't know how many people are gathered, they want to attack our castle, and they can't ignore it, in case they are trained out, I'm afraid that our mountain danger is useless!" ”
This guy knows a lot, Changbayo and the tribal leaders involved in the trade hate him so much, if he takes his advice to Ron Qinling, it will be ruined.
A clever smile flashed through Qinling's mouth and said: "It is useless to train how many mountain soldiers, as long as we defeat their cavalry, the mountain soldiers will be trained in vain, and they dare to go out?" Our cavalry will destroy them! ”
"The Prime Minister is absolutely right!" The respected uncle agreed with Migu: "The focus of our war with the Tang people is their cavalry, as long as their cavalry is eliminated, the Tang army will not dare to attack our country at all!" ”
"Find a way to destroy their cavalry!"
……
After the meeting, the personnel dispersed, and the Qinling and the Migu walked out of the golden tent, and there were no outsiders beside them, and the Migu smiled and said: "When the meeting was dismissed just now, Zermatt had a lot of opinions on whether to attack Tonghuang County!" ”
On Qinling smiled faintly and said: "Zermatt is a fierce general, but unfortunately he has no brains!" ”
"Not bad! The prime minister mobilized the Tang army to the front line of Fuzhou, what is good there! Don't move Tonghuang County, that's the right time at the moment, and he can't see it! ”
"Wait until autumn!"
"It's autumn!"
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled, and when the autumn harvest season came, they would go and thank the Tang people for the crops planted by the Tubo people, and thank them with knives and arrows!
……
At the same time, at the Shanzhou camp, Liu Renliang discussed military affairs with Feng Xiaobao, and Feng Xiaobao said categorically: "We must find ways to eliminate their cavalry!" (To be continued.) )
