216 The Tang Dynasty is mighty
After studying all the information, fine beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the iron man, it seems that the Han people were completely enraged this time, and treated all the tribes, whether they were involved in the Lingzhou rebellion or not, it was a very violent iron-blooded policy, the latest intelligence shows that the vanguard army led by the terrifying Hou Ye Suning, who burned the main army of the eastern Turks with a fire, has wiped out the remnants of the four tribes that escaped more than 3,000, and there is no prisoner, only Yixiong is left to live and die.
At present, what is the progress, the intelligence does not show, it is inconvenient to collect intelligence on the prairie, and it is the result of many years of operation to be able to get so much information, and every time the iron man takes a step forward, he will release the scouts, with the army as the center, almost more than 20 miles within the scope of scouts, as for 20 miles away, it belongs to the scope of the Hu Xue spies to explore intelligence, and the Western Turks also took a fancy to the Hu Xue Department's ability to explore intelligence, which is exactly what they urgently lacked, so they agreed to accept the Hu Xue Department, Otherwise, they would not have risked a war with Datang to accept Hu Xue.
But even so, Tie Han is still very uneasy, he always feels unstable in his heart, many years of grassland life told him that if he has such a feeling, such a thing will definitely happen, but what this thing is, he doesn't know, so every time he has such a feeling, Tie Han will send scouts around to investigate intelligence, and then strengthen the guards around him, find a group of people to analyze intelligence together, brainstorm, and repeatedly succeed, preserving the survival of the relatively weak Hu Xue Department.
This time, it has to be like this. If he is caught by that devil master, it will definitely be more terrible than death!
Suning's reputation, after the burning of Yin Mountain, spread among the surrounding tribes, his reputation and his terrifying degree is no less than those generals, although he is very young, but the prairie does not look at your age, only to see whether you are brave, whether you are victorious, Suning conforms to their aesthetics. outlook on life and values. So Suning was enshrined as a very terrifying character.
Sure enough, the failure of Jieli Khan was not an accident!
In Lingzhou City, Li Daozong was calmly handling various affairs and military affairs. As the Grand Governor of the March. At this time, Zhao Liang, the assassin of Lingzhou, was seriously injured and did not recover. Therefore, Li Daozong temporarily took on the task of assassinating the history of Lingzhou, assumed full military and political powers, and handled a huge number of government and military affairs. However, this is not a big deal for Li Daozong, he has a lot of experience in this area, and he once served as the governor of Lingzhou, so he is familiar with it and quickly gets started.
What he saw and heard in the Lingzhou camp that night, he almost lost his mind, during the period of time when he was trying to find his senses, the other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty lost their minds, and saw such a scene, they were completely divided and killed out of the Lingzhou camp, first to find the trouble of the mouths of the four tribes, the army was defeated, they didn't know yet, so they didn't go, and they were still living there, probably thinking that their army would definitely be able to defeat, who knew that they were still fantasizing a second ago, In the next second, they became completely objects on the coffee table.
The violent Tang soldiers slaughtered into their tribe in one go, wantonly killing them, leaving no trace of mercy, not leaving a little confidence to let them live, all the resistance was instantly defeated, the young and strong people in the tribe who had combat effectiveness were killed by the Tang army, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people simply did not have enough combat power to compete with the angry Tang soldiers, not to mention that this was a sudden attack, not a declaration of war.
The first tribe was almost slaughtered, there were not a few species left, the angry Tang army killed the second tribe, and it was a bloody storm, which made the third tribe have a slight defense, but it was still defeated by the angry Tang army, the more fierce the resistance, the more violent the Tang army, only put down the weapon and knelt down and trembling surrender to survive, the fourth tribe learned to be obedient, everyone put down their arms, when the Tang army killed over, all kneeling and shouting Long live the Tang Dynasty, and also tied up many relatives of the soldiers who went out to the Tang DynastyAfter venting their anger, the Tang soldiers also let go of the fourth tribe and captured them all as slaves.
But Tang Jun still felt unhappy, very unhappy, a fire in his chest still could not be extinguished, just to see a neighboring tribe is very unhappy, under the leadership of a captain, the army began to go over to rob their cattle, sheep and horses, not to mention whether they were used as military food or military funds, the main thing is that there is no place to vent their anger, so they have to take these unlucky ghosts out of anger, these guys at the beginning of watching the fourth tribe all kneel down to escape the catastrophe, so they also want to learn to kneel all the people, show loyalty, and say that they did not participate in the rebellion.
The Tang army didn't care, just took away the cattle, sheep and horses they relied on for survival, but these people didn't do it, the young and strong were there, and began to resist, the Tang army had an excuse, and immediately began to massacre, and the troops divided the road to launch a bloody national revenge war, slaughtering five tribes overnight, and there were sporadic killings after dawn, until the next day Li Daozong ordered to stop the killing, capture slaves on the spot, and the national revenge stopped.
Li Daozong frowned and inspected this tragic situation, the minced meat and organs everywhere made him feel that this was not very good, and it was not good to say, so that the Tang Dynasty lost a lot of labor, so he instructed the royal literati to polish and change, focusing on writing the tragic situation of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and the people, as for the Lingzhou Massacre, so under the wonderful pen of these royal literati, this Lingzhou Massacre was rendered into a history of blood and tears of the Han people in Lingzhou, sprinkled with nearly 10,000 words, and a war report flew to Chang'an.
The war report tried its best to exaggerate the tragic situation of the Lingzhou camp, the misery of the people, and the insults of the sergeants, and the matter of writing the skull tower, as well as countless daughters of the Han family who were raped first and then killed......
The string of jade beads in Li Erbixia's hand was smashed by him, his face was distorted, making people feel cold all over his body, and the people around him didn't dare to say a word when they were frightened by this murderous aura, of course, these generals and the main battle faction Wenchen basically lost their minds, and the murderous aura that rushed to the sky rose from inside the palace and went straight into the sky. The Lord and Pai Wenchen were silent, and they didn't dare to say a word, the heads of the Tang Dynasty soldiers were cut off and made into a skull tower, such a shame is unacceptable to any emperor, let alone Li Erbixia, the hardcore hawk main battle emperor.
"Tell me about Li Daozong! No matter what method he uses, no matter what method he uses! Definitely, definitely! Yes, by all means! Be sure to let those barbarians know! Let them know! Datang, it's not something they can violate! I want them to tremble forever under the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty! They will always only have the right to be cattle and horses for the people of the Tang Dynasty! Kill me! Kill! Kill them until they don't dare to rebel again! Cut off their heads! Pile it up! Show the barbarians! Show them! Dare to make a little more move! Annihilation! Young and old are not left behind! Leave no !! ”
Li Erbixia's self-esteem was greatly hurt, which was unbearable for him, and Zhenguan has been in the past five years. He had a rare outburst. The vigorous aura of the superior made the entire court full of coercion, and the ministers looked at the thunderous emperor in horror, no one dared to find the emperor's unhappiness at this time, that is, to find death. In a fit of rage. The emperor did everything.
Li Erbixia's edict was immediately issued to Lingzhou. Li Daozong read this edict with a smile, and in an instant, he stopped the restriction order to restrict the Tang army from killing too much, and the Tang army was like a tiger out of the cage. Tear all the enemies who dare to resist to pieces, as long as someone dares to resist, it is rebellion, there is nothing to say, kill all, kill all those who dare to resist, and take all the others as slaves.
Lingzhou City has become a huge transit station, the logistics troops coming and going are not only to transport wounded soldiers and supplies, but also to transport these captured slaves, Lingzhou is insufficient, Chang'an has replenished five thousand logistics troops, which is just enough to transport slaves, due to Li Daozong's anger, so that less than 100,000 people of the four rebel tribes were killed, and the rest had to be captured from other tribes, and they also resisted with great interest, so five and a half days after the Suning pursuit force set off, A day and a half after Li Erbixia's edict arrived, more than 30,000 slaves were recorded, and Li Daozong exceeded the target, and according to Li Erbixia's requirements, he began to choose an address outside Lingzhou City and build a new skull tower.
The attached tribes near Lingzhou were frightened three times a day, and many tribes with Han blood debts in their hands were frightened to relocate, but such tribes often became the primary target of the Tang Iron Cavalry, not only the end of the resistance being killed and the rest being taken captive, but with a more tragic end - the tribal leaders and powerful middle-aged men were all killed, and their heads were cut off for the construction of skull towers.
So all the tribes trembled and stayed where they were, not daring to move, and constantly bowed and saluted the Tang Iron Cavalry who came and went here, for fear that the Tang Dynasty would make any moves against them, which would lead to the extinction of their clan, Zuihou, these intimidated tribal leaders gathered together to discuss, and paid tribute to a batch of wealth that made Li Daozong smack, in exchange for their own safety - these days, the unscrupulous behavior of the Tang Iron Cavalry has scared their courage, and they have lost the courage to resist, commonly known as fear.
This is often the case, just like the founder of chaos science, the uncle of the last king of the Shang Dynasty, Jizi, said that a country will be destroyed on a pair of exquisite ivory chopsticks, and when the monarch gets the ivory chopsticks, he will feel that the bowl is not matched enough, and when he gets the exquisite bowl, he will feel that the other food utensils are not matched enough, and he will feel that the table and the seat are not matched, and then he will feel that the palace is not matched, the palace is not matched, and the country is not matched, so that everything in the country is not worthy of himself.
Li Daozong's appetite was raised, Li Erbixia's appetite was also raised, and the Tang Dynasty's appetite was raised, under the iron-blooded policy of repression, the steppe tribes accustomed to submitting to the strong showed their cowardly and stupid side, and adopted the stupid strategy that only a short-sighted, incompetent and cowardly regime would use-exchanging money for peace, they would not have thought that this huge amount of wealth would improve the malnourished body and extremely small stomach of the entire Tang Dynasty, and from then on, less than this amount of property, will not make Datang feel satisfied.
Suning intentionally or unintentionally guided the war goal of the Tang Dynasty from the supremacy of national prestige to the supremacy of interests, a labor reform policy made the Tang Dynasty court and Li Erbixia want to stop, such a policy, but it will greatly liberate the production capacity of the people, and now, the huge benefits brought by the war have made almost every decision-maker in the Tang Dynasty red-eyed, in the past, they were generally regarded as a war that burned money, but it would bring such huge benefits to the Tang Dynasty, the payment of 10,000 horses, but it can bring ten times a hundred times the return, It's more than enough for them to eat with a mouthful full of oil.
Interests, who would be too much? The appetite will only grow, not shrink.
If Suning knew all this, he would definitely bring the concept of unequal treaties to Datang a thousand years earlier, so that Datang could taste the benefits that war could bring, and stimulate Datang's infinite desire for exploration and aggression. The thriving Tang Dynasty, the Han nation that has gradually entered the peak and will continue, and the empire on which the sun never sets, seem to be a little small, to what extent will the appetite of the Tang Dynasty expand?
Although the country is large, the belligerent will perpetuate death, and this sentence is not entirely correct, because the person who said this sentence does not understand what it means to be an unequal treaty. (To be continued......)
