1043.Chapter 1043
Wang Xuance trained as a soldier for a winter, and finally set off to Tianzhu in early spring with three thousand Tang iron horsemen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the same time, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had already gone to different vassal states to borrow troops before them.
However, after the envoys of the Tang Dynasty came to Tubo and told the praise of the Tang Dynasty to the praise of the Tang Dynasty, the praise of the Tubo did not immediately agree, but gathered the ministers of the court and the central government together, and they needed to discuss whether to borrow troops or not.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all understand what Datang means, tell me your opinion, whether we borrow this soldier or not." Tubo Song looked at the ministers and asked.
At this time, a minister stood up: "If you don't borrow it, this Datang is too good at thinking about good things, and he wants to destroy Tianzhu with three thousand iron horses?" It's not that you want us to contribute, how can I, a Tibetan boy, become a mercenary of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"No, no, the Tang envoy said very clearly, destroying Tianzhu will give us a lot of benefits to Tibet, there are so many benefits, why don't we?"
"Hmph, that little benefit, we might as well directly attack Tianzhu and destroy them."
"You can say a big thing, without the help of Datang and the surrounding countries, do you think Tianzhu is so easy to destroy, although they are divided, but they are also very powerful, besides, if we don't cooperate with Datang and send troops to Tianzhu alone, do you think Datang will sit back and wait for us to do this?"
Some people oppose it, some people support it, but they all want to convince each other, Tubo praised this, and said: "If the benefits are not good, if the Tang Dynasty can destroy Tianzhu, it is not a good thing for us, after all, if Tianzhu is destroyed, we will have no worries." ”
"Your Majesty, you can't say that, if Datang controls Tianzhu, I, Tubo, will be attacked from front to back, so it is unlikely that I Tubo will have any ideas about Datang."
Tubo Songzan thought for a while and said, "Three thousand soldiers and horses, do you think Datang can control Tianzhu?" They may really be able to defeat Tianzhu, but it is unlikely that they will be able to control it, they are too far away from Tianzhu to transfer a large number of men and horses, so the gains outweigh the losses. ”
After the Tibetan praise was finished, everyone pondered, and then someone said: "So what does Your Majesty mean?" ”
"Bing is definitely going to be borrowed, and the next thing we have to do is to see how much benefit we can get."
"Extremely, we sent people to fight, and it won't do any good."
Everyone talked nonsense, and finally made a list to show the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, after the envoys of the Tang Dynasty read it, they inevitably felt that Tubo was a bit of a lion's mouth, but it was still acceptable for the rich Tang Dynasty, so there was no hesitation.
After the two sides reached an agreement in this way, Tubo sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to assist the Tang Dynasty in attacking Tianzhu, and allowed Wang Xuance to use Tubo as a guide.
At the same time, other envoys also borrowed more or less soldiers and horses from the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and agreed on a local meeting.
The matter on Tianzhu's side, because Wang Xuance had already been entrusted by Li Jing, as long as he did what Li Jing ordered, the chance of success was 70 percent, so it was not a big problem.
On the other hand, Chang'an City is a different scene.
-----------------------------
The matter of using troops against Tianzhu was only spread among some officials in the DPRK and China for a few days, but the illness did not cause much repercussions in Chang'an City.
The Tang Dynasty fought wars, and in the past, it was tens of thousands of battles, but now they used 3,000 soldiers and horses to destroy Tianzhu, and they really didn't think it was a big deal.
So after a few words, I felt bored and no longer paid attention to this topic.
And what makes the people of Chang'an discuss the most is the recent rush to buy Kunlun slaves on the market.
Kunlun slaves are some very dark-skinned slaves from other countries, they are as strong as oxen, gentle temperament, down-to-earth and upright, many Chang'an City magnates want to buy a bodyguard behind them, not only safe, but also very face-saving.
Because of this, it also gave birth to a lot of business selling Kunlun slaves.
Datang banned the sale of women before, but for these foreign Kunlun slaves, there is no restriction, after all, for the people of Datang, other foreign people are very lowly, more lowly than their handmaidens in Datang, so what's the problem with buying and selling goods?
"Did you hear that? Yesterday, Lin Mazi brought twenty Kunlun slaves, but they were snatched up in half a day, do you know how much a Kunlun slave costs? ”
"How much?"
"A thousand dollars."
"A thousand, so many, I can buy several handmaidens."
"It's not, but who made these Kunlun slaves strong, docile and obedient, those sons of the family bought back as bodyguards, and they had more face, now you may not know, if anyone has a Kunlun slave at home, it is worth showing off for a few days."
"Really, fake."
"Of course it's true, tomorrow, Lin Mazi will send another batch of Kunlun slaves, if you are interested, you can go and have a look."
“………………”
The people of Chang'an City are discussing the matter of Kunlun slaves, Tang Zhou has also heard a little, but for this, he has no intention of interfering, these Kunlun slaves were bought by human traffickers and then transferred to the magnates of Chang'an, the fate is indeed a lot more miserable, but they were slaves in their own country at the beginning, and their living conditions are not much better than here.
If it was bought by the son of the family, it might not be a bad thing for them, and he Tang Zhou only banned the trafficking of women into the Qinglou at the beginning, and did not prohibit the trafficking of slaves or servants, at most, he gave these people some necessary rights, so Tang Zhou had no way to interfere in this matter at all.
And just when these news spread in Chang'an City, Cheng Chumo, Yu Chi Baolin and others suddenly came to Tang Zhou.
"Brother Tang, Kunlun Nu has been very popular in Datang recently, do you know?" Cheng Chumo looked at Tang Zhou excitedly, as if if Tang Zhou said that he didn't know, he would proudly introduce Kunlun Nu to Tang Zhou.
However, Qin Huaidao next to him smiled: "Brother Cheng, Brother Tang is the assassin of Chang'an City, he won't know about this, and your question is too unqualified." ”
When Qin Huaidao said this, Cheng Chumo pursed his lips, but Tang Zhou said: "I heard, but you are also interested in Kunlun Nu?" ”
"Yes, now Chang'an City is proud to have Kunlun slaves, if you walk on the street and follow a Kunlun slave, everyone looks at you differently, not only do you dare not provoke you, but also envy you."
Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Tang Zhou was speechless, as far as he knew, Kunlun Nu was a native of some places, with dark skin, such a person really had no beauty at all, he really didn't understand what it was worth showing off to bring such a person with him, they were quite powerful, but could they have Li Hu's strength?
I have to say that the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty people are still very problematic, but their ability to tolerate these people also shows that they are broad-minded, and they do not refuse to come, and no one rejects them.
