The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 801 Self-stigma Festival
The great roc flies and vibrates the eight descendants, but the sky is destroyed and the strength is exhausted.

The rest of the wind will stir the world, and the left sleeve will hang on the Fusang.

Later generations got it and passed it on, who is crying when Zhongni died.

——"Dying Song" Li Bai

……

After Liu Zhan was executed, the rebels fell and dispersed, no longer stubbornly resisting, and surrendered one after another.

Yang Huiyuan of the Tang Army defeated the rebel general Wang Jun in Huainan. Wang Jun fled to Changshu with the remnant of his troops. He was desperate and surrendered to the Tang Army.

Zhang Jingchao, the rebel general, had assembled more than [-] people and was about to attack Hangzhou again. When he heard that Liu Zhan was dead, he handed over the army to his general Zhang Falei and ordered him to continue attacking Hangzhou. Then he fled to the sea alone and disappeared.

Zhang Falei immediately led his troops to attack Hangzhou, but was defeated by Li Zangyong and had to surrender.

So far, Liu Zhan's chaos has been declared settled.

However, the Hu people who assisted in countering the rebellion soon realized the decline of Datang.

The Allied Forces of Dashi and Persia set out from Guangzhou instead, took the water route, and returned to Dashi and Persia on the merchant ships of Dashi merchants.

Bai Fuxiong was so talented and generous, and Ding Jiuqu and Sheng Hailiu, the leaders of the rebel army on Daonan Road in Hebei Province, were invited to go south, from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River.

......"

Dashi and the Persian allied forces were greedy for the prosperity and wealth of Guangzhou, and saw that the defense of the place was empty, so they simply made a vote before returning to China, and cooperated with the Dashi merchants in the city, jointly captured the city, looted wantonly, burned the treasury and private houses, Bloodbath Guangzhou.

After the Battle of Talas, Datang's influence in the Western Regions was not shaken, and the Tang army in the Western Regions quickly recovered.Only two years later, Feng Changqing, who was promoted to Anxi Jiedushi, attacked Dabolu controlled by Tubo in the twelfth year of Tianbao (753), defeated the enemy army, and occupied Dabolu Bodhisattva Laocheng. (14) reached the peak of the Western Regions.

On the other hand, Bai Fu asked the Persian general Alberts to build a naval academy in Guangzhou to train naval warriors for the Tang Dynasty.

……

Bai Fu has repeatedly appealed to the court, hoping to re-establish the Jianghuai Navy.However, the court was noncommittal.On the one hand, the imperial court’s financial resources were insufficient, and more importantly, almost no court officials realized the importance of naval construction.

Bai Fu frowned, and asked, "My lord, which song are you singing?"

Bai Fu's words are from the bottom of his heart.

……

Why do you prefer sailors so much? "

To the west of the Great Tang, there are countless kingdoms, large and small. Among them, the Great Qin and the Great Food Empire have a large population and a vast territory, and their strength is comparable to that of the Great Tang.

After a little thought, Bai Fu guessed a lot.He raised his eyebrows and asked, "My lord, are you asking me to stigmatize myself?"

The Yangtze River waterway is the territory of the Dajiang Gang.

It is 1.2 li from the Anyuan Gate of Chang'an to the west of the Tang Dynasty. Longyou, as the throat of east-west exchanges, has become the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty.

Fuer, in the first battle of the Jianghuai River, you defeated Liu Zhan and wiped out the Japanese pirates, and made an indelible contribution.

Since the Guangzhou Rebellion, I have made up my mind to form a navy capable of fighting across the sea.

Bai Fuguang distributed hero stickers, sincerely inviting disciples of Jianghu gangs to join the Tang army.

In April of the tenth year of Tianbao (751), General Gao Xianzhi personally led [-] Fan and Han soldiers to attack Dashi, penetrated more than [-] miles into its territory, and arrived at Talas City (near the city of Zhambul, Kazakhstan today). The army encountered, and the two sides fought fiercely for five days, but there was no victory or defeat.At the critical moment of the stalemate between the two sides, Ge Luolu's troops in the Tang army suddenly rebelled and joined forces with Dashi to attack the Tang army, and General Gao Xianzhi was defeated.

The Anshi Rebellion has not yet been settled, our Tang treasury is empty, our navy is weak, and we are unable to fight at all. We can only swallow our breath and turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the Dashi and the Persian coalition forces, and cannot avenge the unjustly killed people in Guangzhou.

The subsequent naval battle on Tsushima Island allowed me to see the strength of the Japanese navy.The Japanese are wolfish and ambitious. Once they have the opportunity to take advantage of it, they will be as harmful as the prairie horsemen who go south to herd horses...

They burned, killed, looted, and raped women in Guangzhou. Their crimes were even worse than those of Huihe soldiers in Luoyang City.

Changsun Yanxing twisted his long beard, nodded, and said slowly: "That's right.

The Dashi merchants living and doing business in Guangzhou are by no means ordinary businessmen, but a powerful armed private group, with their own private soldiers and warships, ready to go into battle at any time in case of danger.

Bai Fu contacted the Dajiang Gang through the Chuan Gang.Under Bai Fu's mobilization, the Ruan brothers joined the Tang Army's naval division, and quickly trained the Tang Army's troops proficient in Yangtze River water warfare.

Now, you have become a marquis and prime minister, an extremely human minister, and you have no rewards.If you want to reward you, you can only crack the earth and seal the king!

As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get but a general is hard to find.If you want to build a navy, you also need to rely on generals.

After the Anlushan rebellion, in the first year of Zhide (756), the Bahanna and the Abbasid dynasty who participated in the Battle of Talas even sent troops to assist the Tang Dynasty in suppressing the rebellion.

In the third year of Zhide (758), Tubo took advantage of the Anshi Rebellion and took advantage of the situation to seize the Hexi Corridor, cutting off the Dashi and Persian allied forces returning home by land.

After Bai Fu looked at it, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Bai Fu looked at the bonfire in the distance, and the Persian general Alberz was singing and dancing with the crowd.

Changsun Yanxing chuckled and said, "These are your life insurance."

Bai Fu pointed to the Persian general Alberts and said, "Albers told me that the Great Tang is not the center of the world.

After talking about the Great Tang Navy, Changsun Yanxing took out a few letters from the wooden box beside him and handed them to Bai Fu.

After ransacking Guangzhou, Da Shi and the Persian Allied Forces boarded the ship and crossed the sea to return home.And Guangzhou was reduced to a sea of ​​flames and turned into scorched earth.

These thousand-year naval battles have made the shipbuilding techniques of Persia, Daqin, and Dashi extremely developed, and they can even travel across the ocean to trade in Datang. "

"Whoever commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away!" '

Changsun Yanxing asked: "Fu'er, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, except for a few battles such as the Battle of Chibi, most of the wars that rewritten history took place in the Central Plains and the area outside the Great Wall. Therefore, all dynasties have paid attention to horseback riding and archery, and neglected the construction of naval forces.

These kingdoms, large and small, are scattered around the West Sea, Leizhu Sea and other vast oceans, and most of the wars between them are naval battles.

After the Battle of Dengzhou, the Jianghuai Navy of the Tang Dynasty was wiped out, and Chen Honghu's whereabouts were unknown.

After the celebration banquet, Changsun Yanxing and Bai Fu dismissed everyone and had a long talk all night.

These letters were all written by Changsun Yanxing to the imperial censor of the dynasty. They fabricated a lot of falsehoods, accusing Bai Fu of withholding military pay, squandering military expenditure, extravagance and waste, and fabricating the results of battles.

After Changsun Yanxing listened, he couldn't help nodding, praising Bai Fu's extraordinary strategic vision.

At the celebration banquet, all the generals toasted and raised their hands, which was very lively.

Without a strong navy, without the military power to fight across the sea, once my Tang Dynasty shows signs of fatigue, these barbarian merchants will suddenly turn into pirates, like bloodthirsty sharks, and bite off a few pieces from Datang's body. The meat comes.

In desperation, Bai Fu begged his eldest grandson Yanxing and other aristocratic families who had migrated to the south of the Yangtze River to contribute money and food.The food and salaries raised were handed over to Sun Dashan to build warships in Quanzhou and build nests to attract phoenixes.

One day, I, Bai Fu, will lead the "King of the Seven Seas" into the West Sea and Leizhu Sea, and make the barbarians and pirates tremble under the strong ships and cannons of the Tang Dynasty! "

Even Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, has not been crowned king. You boy, how can you let the Li Tang royal family crown you king?

If you don't bow your head, I don't know how many people will regard you as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and you will be hard to guard against.At least, it will ruin your marriage with Qingluan; at worst, it will send you to prison for questioning and take your life. "

Changsun Yanxing dialed a little bit, and Bai Fu immediately understood the advantages and disadvantages here.

However, what you know is what you know, and self-stigmatization is easier to know than to do.Bai Fu's face turned livid, his chest heaved and heaved, filled with resentment.
