Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 774 The Basic Situation of Tubo in Southwest China

In the first year of Yining in Sui Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo was born in the Mujueling Palace in Jiangba. His father was Zanpu, the [-]nd generation of Tubo, named Nangri Songtsan.

The common saying is that Xiongqiang is called Zanpu, and her husband is called Pu, so the emperor of Tubo called Zanpu.The term Zanpu has more religious meaning than secular meaning, and mainly emphasizes that the power of Zanpu comes from heaven, that is, the so-called "divine right of kings", emphasizing that Zanpu's blood belongs to the gods, and the monarchy comes from the gods.

Nangri Songtsan sent troops to wipe out the Subi tribe when his son Songtsan Gampo was three years old, and briefly unified the tribes of Tubo.However, due to his overly high status, his own ability to operate was low, which finally led to the rise of the new aristocrats, that is, the original Supi aristocrats, which caused dissatisfaction among the old Tubo aristocrats, and the two tigers fought, and finally killed Nangri Songtsan up.

Under such circumstances, the [-]-year-old Songtsan Gampo ascended to the position of Zanpu.Three years later, that is, the sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo reunited the tribes of Tubo, and cleaned up the old and new nobles who were making troubles, and completely controlled Tubo.

Songtsen Gampo at this time was fifteen years old.

Proper protagonist script.

Then, this year, Songtsan Gampo, a young monarch, moved his capital a bit more.

No matter how you comment on Tubo, Songtsen Gampo has his specific abilities.There is no doubt about this person's ability, otherwise he would not have reintegrated the entire Tubo in such a short period of time.

However, Tubo was still a baby at this time.Around it, there are all major powerful ministries.For example, Su Pi, who was not long after the restoration of the country, Xiaoyangtong in the southwest, Dabu, Luoza, Gongbu in the south, and the number one powerful enemy, Dayangtong.

Big Yangtong is also called the Kingdom of Zhang Zhung.

In addition, there are two major divisions, Qiangtang and Domi.

It can be said that Songtsan Gampo started with the collapse of the sky, but he turned the world around and finally killed a bloody road.

Love some palaces.

Sixteen-year-old Songtsan Gampo was very calm, just like his name implies.The word Songtsan means "dignity and dignity" in Tubo, and Ganbu means "deep and deep".

Today, Songtsan Gampo summoned his confidant ministers to discuss the great affairs of Tubo. This is a habit he has maintained since he succeeded to the throne.

The ministers present included Uncle Lun Kerr, Da Lun (Prime Minister) Shangnang, and Xiao Lun (Deputy Prime Minister) Rulaijie.

"When Subi rebelled, I want to completely pacify the land of Supi. Can you teach me?"

Da Lun Shangnang said: "Don't worry about Zanpu. Although Prince Supi has connected with the nobles in his country and wants to revive the country, it is useless after all. The greed of the nobles of Supi is far deeper than that of Namtso Lake. As long as you defeat the They, and appease them, everything can return to the original. The minister's idea is to take two steps.

First, send troops to defeat the Subi army, and then give the Subi nobles a promise to allow them to retain their territory, but they must pay tribute according to regulations.

Second, treat the common people of Supi the same as the local people of Tubo, so that Supi can be completely calmed down. "

Songtsan Gampo nodded again and again, "What Da Lun said is really good, then I will leave this matter to Da Lun."

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Lun Keer said: "We got news from the Domi tribe that Tuyuhun has been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty."

"What?" Songtsan Gampo stared wide-eyed, "Tuyuhun perished in the Tang Dynasty?"

Although Tuyuhun was far away from Tubo, he also got a lot of news about Tuyuhun from the Domi tribe who was close to Tuyuhun.In terms of strength, Tuyuhun is definitely not much weaker than Yangtong.

Correspondingly, due to the thousands of mountains and rivers separated, Songtsen Gampo didn't have much impression of the Tang Dynasty. He only heard that the empire in the far east was very powerful, but he didn't have much emotion.

"What's the matter?" Songtsen Gampo asked.

Lun Cole shook his head, "I don't know, we have no contact with Tuyuhun or Tang Dynasty, and we don't know the specific reason."

"Is this Tang Dynasty very powerful?" Songtsen Gampo asked again.

Shang Nang is relatively old and knows a little more. He explained to Songtsen Gampo: "Zanpu, we don't know much about the Tang Dynasty, but what is certain is that the country is very powerful. They can To eliminate Tuyuhun, it can be said that the strength is not much worse than that of Yangtong. But Zanpu doesn't have to worry too much, because that country is far away from us."

"Is it very far away?" Songtsan Gampo pondered for a while, and said, "I want to send someone to visit that Tang Dynasty and inquire about it."

Zhu Laijie said: "I can arrange it."

After a pause, he said, "Zanpu, there are some merchants from the Tang Dynasty in China, do you need to meet them?"

"Oh?" Songtsan Gampo was very moved, and ordered: "You go and find him."

"Yes."

After Ru Laijie went down, he found his deputy, Lu Dongzan, and told him to find some Tang Dynasty merchants and send them to the palace, and Zanpu wanted to receive them.

Lu Dongzan was ordered to go to the market to look for it.

Right now, those who can trade in this area of ​​Tubo are fierce men, with strong physical fitness like monsters, otherwise the altitude sickness of Tubo can directly kill the caravan.

Therefore, the number of these merchants is not large, only three or two are Tang people, and the rest are slaves hired by Tang people from Tuyuhun.Such a team is called Tang Shang here.

Due to the rough and difficult roads, Tang merchants did not bring many products, but they were very precious.Needless to say, silk and porcelain, all of which can earn a sky-high price in the hands of the Tubo nobles.As for the soap and white sugar, it was out of stock immediately, and the price was very expensive.

Distance produces beauty. Primitive tribes like Tubo have no resistance to the goods of the Tang Empire that have entered the feudal civilization.

Lu Dongzan quickly found the three Tang merchants.After all, they are foreigners, and they come from the distant Tang Dynasty, bringing all kinds of rare goods, and their popularity is equivalent to that of international Internet celebrities.

It was very easy for Lu Dongzan to find these people.

"Lu Dongzan."

"Tang Yi."

"Don Er."

"Tang Umbrella."

After the four people reported their names, Lu Dong praised: "How many people do we want to see in our Zanpu, please come with me."

The three Tang merchants looked at each other, and Tang Yi said, "Lead the way."

Lu Dongzan nodded, and led the three of them to the palace.

Along the way, Tang Yi and others narrowed their eyes and looked at the unfinished Tubo palace, full of contempt.

Soon, Lu Dongzan took them to meet Songtsan Gambo.

"Dear Zanpu, I am very glad to be received by you, and may God bless you." Tang Yi dragged the unfamiliar greeting.

Learning the Tibetan language is a kind of torture for them.

Songtsan Gampo looked at them and nodded, told them to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I see you, I would like to say hello to you."

When Songtsan Gampo was looking at them, Tang Yi and others were also looking at Songtsan Gampo.

They thought that the sixteen-year-old Zanpu would be very young, but after a closer look, they found that he was very old, as if he was in his thirties.

"I heard that you are from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes Zamp."

"Can you tell me about your country?"

"Of course." Tang Yi said: "Your Majesty, I am great and holy. At the beginning of my succession, there was a powerful enemy in the north of our country. , has repeatedly invaded the territory of our country. His Majesty led the generals to attack him in one fell swoop and completely occupy the grassland."

Seeking truth from facts and bragging has become the instinct of Tang people who are doing business outside.The harder they blew, the more awed and fearful those kings of the small country became.
