Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 294
This birthday banquet specially held by Zhang Zhao lasted for seven days, and during these seven days, congratulatory gifts were continuously presented.

Among these congratulatory gifts, the most eye-catching ones did not come from any temples, nor did they come from major families in Liangzhou.

They came from young adults who had just finished repairing Liangzhou City and Liangzhou Five Forts, as well as the two counties of Guzang and Shenniao.

They either hold a chicken, or foxes and rabbits they hunted by themselves, or dried meat, and those who are richer may have a sheep.

Limited by the gap between the rich and the humble in this era, young and strong men did not dare to come to celebrate Zhang Zhao's birthday, but silently put their gifts in the alley outside the mansion of the Jiedu Yamen.

Even at the very beginning, no one found out how the gifts piled up here came from?What is it for?

It wasn't until one day that Guo Tiance and others found someone prostrating here that they realized that it was a gift from young men who had been favored by Zhang Zhao.

For these Ding Zhuang and their families, the corvee service of repairing the inner and outer cities of Liangzhou left a deep impression on them.

Because no one died due to overwork as usual, and no one was treated unfairly. On the whole, Zhang Zhao remained relatively fair.

Delicious stewed mutton and sweet white flour steamed cakes have even become the fondest memories of many people and the capital to show off to their neighbors, all of a sudden.The reputation of Dharma King Bodhisattva's benevolence spread throughout Hexi.

So much so that when Zhang Zhaoda held a birthday banquet, these people at the bottom with the simplest thinking still wanted to use their own methods to repay this rare Dharma King Bodhisattva.

Among them, Zhang Zhao did pay real money to win them over, making them feel fair and just and being valued, but part of it was because of Zhang Zhao's title of Dharma King Bodhisattva.

Contrary to what many people think, in fact, in the history of China, Buddhism is not just an enclosure.

Historically, even at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Buddhism was still an important tool for the Song court to win over the frontier leaders and even expand the territory. It is not uncommon for great virtuous monks to be in the Song army in the northwest and southwest.

Back then, the Northern Song Dynasty was almost at the end of its year, and it was still able to beat Xixia to that level. Buddhism actually made a lot of effort in this.

Even for the current people of the six tribes of Yanmo, Buddhists and monks are second only to the leaders in their daily life.

. . . . .

Xuanwumen, the north gate of Liangzhou, and the gate tower of Xuanwumen are the highest places in Liangzhou.Standing on the second floor of this city gate tower, you can just overlook half of Liangzhou City.

Today, the chiefs of the six tribes of Yanmo, the patriarchs and officials of the Han people in Liangzhou, and the chiefs of the four surnames of Sogdian all followed Zhang Zhao to the Xuanwu Gate.
Although the Dharma Conference in Liangzhou City has been held for the seventh day, there are still quite a few Buddhist believers who came from all over the place.

Many of them wore leather robes and their hair was braided in various braids. The Tubo people who came down from the Dafei River, who had nothing to do with Liangzhou, rushed to Liangzhou city one after another.

The leaders of the six tribes at the end looked at each other, and all of them had to admit that Zhang Zhao at this moment had basically won the respect of hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Liangzhou.

And Zhang Zhao is also observing the leaders of the Six Ministries. Although they have established their self-identity as Yan Mo, they have also become the leading force in Liangzhou City in history, and they have sucked in all the remaining Han people in Liangzhou. In the category of the end.

But it is a pity that even a ruthless person like Zhebu Jiashi failed to completely make this ethnic group between the Han people and the Tubo people into a real nation in the end.

In history, after several leaders of the Zhebu family, Pan Luozhi from Songpan was the one who replaced them to rule the six tribes of the Momo.

Pan Luozhi was actually an authentic Tibetan compared to the Gamo people, and he, a northern Sichuan native, was able to go to the distant Liangzhou to replace the Zhebu family precisely because of his status as a Tubo nobleman.

It can be said that after the Central Plains court had abandoned them, these Gamo people finally returned to the embrace of Tubo.

Zhang Zhao guessed that in history, the local tyrants of Gamo must have thought about making Gamo an independent nation, but in the end they lost to reality.

What's even more unfortunate is that after Pan Luozhi from Songpan ruled here, the Yanmo people still have a chance to rise.

But it is a pity that after Pan Luozhi killed Li Jiqian, the god of war in Jinze, he was dramatically murdered by Li Jiqian's son Li Deming, which led to the sudden interruption of the process of Yan Mo's self-reliance as a nation.

After Pan Luozhi, the most famous leader of Gamo was Gasila from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Zongsiluo is not a name but an honorific title. It is a Tibetan transliteration, which literally means Buddha son.

And Zanpu himself is also a descendant of Tubo Zanpu. The leader of Zanmo, Pan Luozhi, a nobleman with Tubo noble blood, directly became Zanpu with Zanpu blood, which proves that they have gone through a series of self-discipline After agreeing, he still chose to return to the Tubo people.

This is also the root cause of the disappearance of the Gamo people in history, because they failed to become a truly new nation in the end.

Their final fate is that some of them defected to Dangxiang Xixia, and some of them returned to the various ministries of Tubo.

But in this era, the hundreds of thousands of Gamo people who are good at fighting, these are actually the descendants of Longyou Hexi soldiers, they have another choice.

That is to return to the Tang Dynasty with Zhang Zhao and be a man again. This is why Zhang Zhao would rather take some risks and invite the envoy of Guge King Jidnimagun to Liangzhou.

Bursts of Buddha's chant came, and the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures could be heard clearly even on the second floor of Xuanwu Gate. Zhang Zhao looked at Liangzhou City with a particularly emotional expression.

Pointing to the crowd who did not listen to the cheers and chanted Buddhist scriptures, he said to the leaders of the six tribes of Gamo, the Han people in Liangzhou, and the leaders of the four surnames of Sogdian.

"I'm afraid Liangzhou City hasn't seen such a beautiful scene in decades, right?

In fact, I guess that since the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the capture of Longyou in Hexi by Tubo, this city has never been so prosperous and glorious again!

Speaking of it, you are the same as me, whether you admit it or not, in fact we are all survivors of the Tang Dynasty, a group of people who lost their country and family. "

"For example, Guo Canjun." Zhang Zhao pointed to Guo Tiance and said, "He is the Jiedu Envoy of the Four Towns of Anxi, a descendant of Lord Guo Xin, the king of Wuwei County, and a descendant of the Anxi Army of the Great Tang Dynasty."

Speaking of which, Zhang Zhao pointed to Li Qilang again, "This Li Qilang was once the grand-nephew of Li Yuanzhong, the king of Ningsai County, the governor of Beiting, let alone XX."

Zhang Zhao pointed at himself this time, "A certain Zhang family lived in Dunhuang, and they are descendants of the officials and generals under the jurisdiction of the Jiedu Yamen in Hexi."

Finally, Zhang Zhao pointed to the leaders of the six tribes at the end of the valley, "Among you, the ancestor of Shen Dazhang was the Yamen of the Lintao Army of the Longyou Jiedu Envoy, and the ancestor of Zhao Zhen was the Wucheng Shouzhuo under the jurisdiction of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy. The descendants of the town general.

You have never been any Gamo people, but just like a certain person, you are the remnants of the empire who went far away, and you are the orphans of Tang'er who have suffered all kinds of hardships but are not understood.

I know that many of you don't understand, I don't understand that I, Zhang Zhao, already have such a large foundation in Anxi and Hezhong, why do I have to return to Liangzhou?Come here to build from scratch!

I can tell you now that I, Zhang Zhao, are not convinced. I just want to ask, to ask the Central Plains court, to ask the emperor on the dragon chair, why did he abandon us and the soldiers and children of Anxi, Hexi, and Longyou? Like shoes?

If it is said that Anxi is far away and there is no way to rescue them, that's fine, but Liangzhou is not far away. How innocent are the descendants of our Longyou soldiers in Hexi?
When my ancestor Zhang Taibao entered Liangzhou City, your ancestors and my ancestors worked together to defeat the fear of fear and get rid of the status of slaves.

We have been reduced to Hu Chen for decades, but we never forget the court of our country. Such loyalty should be comforted and rewarded.

But why do they treat those we don't distinguish as barbarians?

A certain Zhang Zhao just wanted to ask for clarification, just to go to Chang'an and Luoyang. There must be an explanation for the grievances of hundreds of years.

I also don't want my descendants to become a Hu'er who doesn't know their ancestors. The identity of a certain Han family was passed down to me by my ancestors with blood and culture. I can't cut it off from me just because the court ignores it!
Today, the envoy of Zanpu's descendant, Guge King Jidnimagun, is here. He has come here from thousands of miles away, and he is the one who was specially invited to release the centuries-old shackles on you. "

Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Jidnimagon's envoy hurried forward although he was a little embarrassed.

He held a roll of parchment dyed yellow in his hand, which was the edict issued by Tubo Zanpu.

Although Jidnimagun is not Tubo Zan, but today when the Tubo Empire is disintegrating and Zanpu's descendants are scattered, the Guge royal line still has certain legal principles.

The envoy faced the leaders of the six ministries and read the content of the edict aloud, "The grandson of Zanpu, the true god king with the power of transformation, and King Guge, who is protected by the Buddha, issued an edict:
To the east of Dafeichuan and the West Sea, there is the Liugu tribe that used to be the end of the god king Zanpu. Now the god king loves virtue and respects the meaning of Buddha equality. From now on, you and others have no affiliation. "

Shen Zhihai, Zhebu Jiashi and the others glanced at each other, and only then did they know what Zhang Zhao was doing when he summoned the envoy of Guge King Jidnimagun.

It turned out that it was to help them get rid of the status of slaves and servants imposed on them by the Tubo people.

It can be said that from this moment, from the moment when this edict came into effect, the descendants of Tubo Zanpu gave up their legal control over the six ministries of Gamo.

It can be said that from now on, there will be no Gamo in the world, and they will no longer be able to become Gamo
This seemed like a good thing, but Shen Zhihai, who was quick-witted, knew that Zhang Junshi in front of him had made a very clever move.

Because they have always been Gamo people, using the grievances of being bullied and oppressed and not being vented, to gather surrounding tribes and improve their self-identity.

But at this moment, Yan Mo's identity suddenly no longer exists, and they have lost the bond that brought together all the tribes of the Liugu tribe and even the Hehuang Valley.

Zhang Zhao also turned around at this time. In Liangzhou, there are only 10,000 to [-] Han people, and only [-] Sogdians. At the end of the day, there are too few and too few.

If the identity of Yan Mo is not broken, even if he has obtained the allegiance of the Six Parts of Yan Mo, it will be a very dangerous thing for Zhang Zhao.

Because the main body under his rule will become more than 700,000, and the number will be even larger after adding the Hehuang Valley, which can reach [-].

This is a typical pretentious guest!

Therefore, even if Zhang Zhao took the risk of letting the descendants of Jidnimagun return to Luoxie, he would exchange for Jidnimagun's status as a descendant of Tubo Zanpu to remove the status of the Gamo people from the Six Divisions of Gamo , Let them lose their identity of being in a group.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Zhao to express his thoughts clearly, so Zhang Zhao turned around suddenly, and with an excited expression, he took the hands of Shen Zhihai and Zhebu Jiashi's two main leaders, respectively.

After several years of training, Zhang Zhao's acting skills have become more and more proficient. He looked at the bewildered leaders with red eyes and said in a trembling voice.

"From this moment on, since the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the chains imposed on us by the Tubo people are gone! You can finally get rid of this humiliating identity and return to the identity of the adherents of the Tang Dynasty!

During the Xiantong period of Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, my ancestor Zhang Taibao wrote to the court many times for this purpose. Today, a certain Zhang Erlang finally fulfilled his ancestor's last wish!

I wonder if you are willing to work together with me to reproduce the glory of Tang'er in Longyou, Hexi?
Come with me to the Central Plains court that once abandoned us, and ask where we come from?

Are you willing to return to your homeland again and get back your identity as Tanger? "

With impassioned words and excited expression, Zhang Zhao understands the importance of this window period better than anyone else.

If more than ten years later in the evening, Zhebu Jiashi completed the first gathering of the various ministries behind him, they would never go back.

Shen Zhihai was very excited, but Zhebu Jiashi couldn't get excited, nor could he and the leaders of various ethnic groups who didn't seem to be Han Chinese behind him.

Liangzhou has been in turmoil for hundreds of years. Are their ancestors soldiers from Longyou, Hexi?In fact, they themselves are not very clear.

But at this moment, Zhang Zhao was using his power to overwhelm them, one ring after another, so they had no choice but to regard themselves as descendants of Hexi Longyou soldiers.

"May the envoy of the army return to his homeland and be Tang'er again!" Shen Zhihai was the first to kneel down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhebu Jiashi, who had no choice, also knelt down, and he stuck his forehead on the floor tiles of Xuanwumen.

"The Oribu family is also willing to work with the military envoy to recover the lost glory."

Seeing Zhebu Jiashi also kneeling on the ground, Zhang Zhaoxuan's heart finally fell to the ground. This is why he said Tang'er, but not the Han people.

Tanger, it can include people of all ethnic groups. If it is Haner, then he can only kick out the Zhebu family who are likely to be descendants of Dangxiang, Yangtong, or Tuyuhun people. This is for sure No way.

Following the Shen family, the leader of the six tribes at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the Zhebu family, the leaders of other ethnic groups, expressed their allegiance, General Zhao Zhen, Zongge's family and other clan leaders also knelt down on the ground.

From now on, they are not Gamo.It was Tang Er under Zhang Zhao!
