Six hundred and eighty-two Doomsday
The fall of the Tibetan Empire was extremely dramatic and legendary, so much so that it was widely sung a long time later, and the most legendary was the death of Tubo Zampu, when he didn't react at all, he was killed by the commander of the Tang Dynasty, and then was beheaded by a Tang general, and his death was unknown.
Strictly speaking, the Tibetan government perished from this moment, and the inheritance of Tubo was also after the Tubo royal family was caught by Li Boyao and others, and Li Shiji, who was rushed over with a very unhappy look the next day, ordered all the heads to be beheaded, and directly destroyed the inheritance of the Tubo royal family.
Three powerful forces - the Tibetan government, the Shenming Sect and the mob army, so far completely collapsed, the Tang Dynasty army in the city of Luo Qi three days after the rectification, under the leadership of Li Shiji, marched to the west, ready to completely exterminate the power of the Shenming Sect, five days later, the Shenming Sect nest was captured by the Tang army, from the sect leader below hundreds of high-level cultists were not spared, Gu Wei Li Shiji ordered to be killed, not one left.
All these can be put into the history books for future generations to understand.
Of course, there are many things that are not enough for outsiders, and they will not be recorded in the official history, but if someone can record them in the form of wild records and essays for future generations, it is also acceptable, in fact, a large part of Chinese history was originally recorded in the form of a field record essays, after all, the process of a war of annihilation is not just the process of the battlefield, and the curtain of battlefield fighting is lifted. You'll see a lot of amazing things.
For example, a day before Li Shiji led the army to Luoqi City, a mysterious man quietly approached the army while resting at night, and generously handed a waist card to the night watchman, asking him to give this waist card to Li Shiji, and he could only give it to Li Shiji.
The night watch soldiers regarded him as an intruder assassin as if he were facing a great enemy, and were about to kill him, but this waist card made them very puzzled, and handed this waist card to Li Shiji under close surveillance, Li Shiji took this waist card and looked at it, and immediately showed a clear look. Immediately ordered the man to be brought into the military tent. And no one was allowed to enter the tent, and the soldiers, though puzzled, had to obey this order.
The mysterious man entered the military tent very respectfully and saluted Li Shiji. Li Shiji nodded. asked, "Blooddroplet agent?" β
The mystery man takes the black cloak down. showed his face: "The deputy leader of the Tubo group of the second group of blood drops, Hei Yan, and his colleagues all called his subordinates Hei Ye." β
Li Shiji nodded: "Before the start of this battle, the Marquis of Sanyuan told the old man that you were waiting for the deposit." You have already created very favorable conditions for our army's victory, and since you have appeared, it means that Tubo has perished, right? β
Hei Ye nodded: "When the army arrived at the military camp of Luoqicheng for a surprise attack, his subordinates and the team leader killed the leader of the people's army, and the commander of the Shenming Sect, Zhang Wuregret, was the leader of the Tubo branch of the second group of blood drops, and the two of us have been lurking for a long time, and have completely mastered the people's army and the Shenming Sect legion, as long as nothing happens, Songtsan Gampo is dead, and the city of Luoqi has also been breached, and Tubo is almost destroyed, the Tang Dynasty has won, and the subordinates are the handsome!" β
Li Shiji waved his hand: "Do you know which army made the first contribution?" β
Hei Ye shook his head: "I don't know, it's not easy for my subordinates to get out of the army." β
Li Shiji nodded: "That Ben Shuai knows, this time you and other blood drops have made an indelible contribution to my Tang Dynasty's elimination of Tubo, and you will definitely be rewarded, next, do you have any other preparations, do you need to inform Ben Shuai?" A must-do? And where are you going? β
Hei Ye said with a smile: "Team leader Zhang Wuregret has brought the Shenming Sect into a dead end, only the commander needs to lead the army to annihilate all the resistance forces of the Shenming Sect, and the team leader will take his cronies and retinue to capture all the important leaders of the Shenming Sect and the main messengers behind them and hand them over to the Dashuai, the Dashuai doesn't have to worry, after the destruction of the Shenming Sect, Tubo will really be no longer a threat." β
Li Shiji was a little surprised: "You guys actually sat down to this point?" It's really a little surprising to Ben Shuai! It seems that the first merit of this battle is not the commander and the army, but you waited. β
Hei Ye shook his head, and said sternly: "The cause that the blood droplets are engaged in is a cause that cannot be known to everyone, only those who are qualified to know the blood drops can know it, and the rest of the people can't know the storage of the blood droplets, even if it is hundreds of years and thousands of years later, the storage of the blood droplets will only be recorded in the secret files of the blood droplet headquarters, and only the chief officer of the vertical and horizontal division and the emperor's majesty can read it, so we don't have any credit, and the credit is all the army's, all of them are handsome." β
Li Shiji frowned slightly: "Isn't that a ...... for you and the others?" Are blood droplets really so important? β
Hei Ye nodded: "Even if it is a handsome, you can't know the specific organization and specific tasks of the blood drops, just know that there are such an organization as blood drops and such a subordinate person who belongs to the blood drops, and there are only three people in the whole Datang who can fully understand the blood drops organization and confidential tasks, Emperor XiΓ , Du Xiang, and Su Hou, and once the name of the blood drops becomes a household name, it will be a disaster for Datang."
We have decided to give up fame and fortune since the day we joined the blood drops, and to be an unknown person for the rest of our lives, we have our own identities and jobs in front of people, and the identity of the blood drops after people cannot be revealed even if they are close relatives, because I am engaged in this important task related to the safety of Datang, and it must not be known to outsiders, Li Shuai, his subordinates are all they say, and tomorrow I will ask Li Shuai to arrange for people to send his subordinates back to Datang as businessmen who were maliciously kidnapped by Tubo, and his subordinates naturally have their own places to go, Don't bother Li Shuai. β
Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, then nodded very strictly, stood up, and smiled at Hei Ye: "You are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty, good sons of the Han family." β
Hei Ye was also a little stunned, smiled, turned to leave, Li Shiji arranged a qiΔ for him according to his request, sighed deeply, and then dripped the wooden waist card with mutton fat. Burning it with candles imprinted the scene of tonight's meeting deeply in my heart.
The next day, Li Shiji led the army to arrive at Luoqi City, which was the second team of 10,000 people to arrive in Luoqi City, seeing Chai Shao's smile on his face, and the members of the Tubo royal family kneeling in a row trembling, he was quite depressed: "Who are these people?" What to pull it out for? β
Chai Shao boasted very much: "If you go back to the big handsome, these are all members of the Tubo royal family, Songtsan Gampo has been ambushed, and Tubo is dead." These royals are left. Don't know what to do? β
Li Shiji held back the anger in his heart and said coldly: "It's all old and weak, women and children, all of them are as fat as pigs, they can't lift their hands and shoulders, they can't be carried, and they can't be used as coolies." What do you want him to do? The head of Songtsen Gampo and the Tubo table, the register, and the place register were sent to Chang'an for His Majesty to read. All of this waste is cut down. It's a waste of food to keep it! β
Chai Shao didn't mention how cool it was: "Obey!" Dashuai, I don't know this first achievement? β
Li Shiji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of Heiye. Then he looked at Chai Shao, who had a look of hope, and sighed slightly in his heart: "General Chai Shao led the army to break through the city of Luo, kill Songtsen Gampo, and destroy the Tubo country. β
Chai Shao's happy eyes narrowed into a slit: "Thank you, Dashuai!" Thank you, Dashuai! Dashuai, the Tubo treasury still has some inventory, and the last general also found a tunnel under construction, which has a large amount of grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry, and please move there! β
Li Shiji nodded and followed.
The army rested for three days, and during the three days, some other things happened, such as Li Shiji's personal visit to Master Changjie and Ziyun Zhenren who were still staying in Luoqi City, but after meeting, they were sneered at by Ziyun Zhenren, and Master Changjie closed his eyes from beginning to end without looking at him, and now, they finally realized that the so-called Buddhist and Taoist mission group was not for preaching at all, but a move by the Tang Dynasty to eliminate the Tubo State, and they were just chess pieces in the hands of the Tang Empire.
Of course, Li Shiji will not have any pity for these monks and Taoist priests, they still just stay honest, the cause of the rebellion of the gods and religions, the root of the demise of Tibet, has long been ordered by Li Ermajesty XiΓ to write into the new edition of the "Zhenguan Law", which basically means that the tax problem of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples and the number of believers allowed to become monks, Li Ermajesty XiΓ in view of the lessons of the Shenming Sect rebellion, decided to suppress and control some religious groups in the Tang Dynasty.
Buddhism and Taoism, the two largest groups, are naturally the primary targets, just at the time of the Tubo Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty nationwide inventory of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples and the number of monks and Taoist priests has been launched, and the amount of land owned by these Buddhist temples and Taoist temples has been measured, and then the corresponding restrictions have been made, their income is taxed at a certain rate, the construction of new Buddhist temples and Taoist temples needs to be reported to the state government and even the central government for approval, and the government needs to issue vouchers and so on if you want to accept believers.
They wanted to object, but there was no way, the gods and sects were not only worried about the emperor, they were also shocked, Li Shiji was also in a bad mood after he was bored, and after he smiled and warned them not to do anything inappropriate after returning to the Tang Dynasty, they retired, Master Changjie and Ziyun Zhenren looked at each other helplessly, and sighed.
The chaos and destruction of Tubo not only made Li Ermaxi feel extremely comfortable in his heart, but also made Li Ermaxi feel a little more worried about his country and regime, and made corresponding actions, the demise of Tubo in exchange for the lessons of the Tang Dynasty, which is worth it, religious groups always need to be controlled, although Suning has a lot of complaints about this, and does not agree much, thinking that people need a thought, and having a thought in their hearts is better than being empty in their hearts. There will also be more consideration when doing things.
However, Li Ermaxi did not listen to Suning's opinions, and most of the courtiers supported Li Erma's behavior, so this bill was passed, and Suning had no choice but to retreat to the second, and with the psychology of revenge, he added the concept of free education for all to Zhenguan Law, and allocated a large part of the money and property that could have entered Li Erma's small treasury to the education department, which was strongly supported by Wei Zheng and others.
But in any case, Tubo died, three days later, Li Shiji led the army to attack the territory of the Shenming Sect, and five days later destroyed the Shenming Sect, and hundreds of thousands of people in the jurisdiction area were captured, because the brainwashed Cheng DΓΉ was obviously exceeded, Li Shiji, who felt troubled, had to turn to Zhang Wuregret for help, Zhang Wuregret easily handed over the leaflet that had been written to Li Shiji and asked him to mobilize all literate people to copy it, and then sent the leaflet to every Shenming believer, two days later, the Shenming Sect believers had a great turmoil.
At the same time, Li Shiji secretly sent people to purge all the behind-the-scenes supporters of the Shenming Sect and obtained a large amount of money, Li Shiji couldn't help but sigh, this hooligan and liar group didn't know what Cheng DΓΉ had harmed the Tubo people, and sure enough, it was right to strictly control Buddhism and Taoism.
Zhang Wuregret easily resigned from his position, handed over the waist card to Li Shiji, and returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty as a kidnapped Tang merchant who was rescued by the Tang army. (To be continued......)
