Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 878

Dazhou Shaoming 11th year, AD 957, Dongyue.

Some drunken privy deputy envoys, General Youbalin Wei, defense ambassadors of Batang and Hehuang provinces, ambassadors of Batang seven prefectures for investigation and disposal, chief of Tianzhu conquest camp, and Wei Guogong Li Cunhui drove in the emperor's car.

Guided by Jin Yi's guards who were in charge of the emperor's ceremonial guards, Jin Jialuan returned to his Duke of Wei's mansion.

Oh, we can't call Li Cunhui the Duke of Wei now. During the banquet in the palace that just greeted him, the Emperor Yifu personally canonized him as the King of Xiping County.

This is the first prince in the inner domain, and it is enough to show his great contribution to Li Cunhui.

As for what this credit is?
Emperor Shaoming of the Great Zhou specifically allowed it to stand on a five-foot-long iron halberd in front of his mansion, and the human head that swayed with the wind was speaking silently.

In the eighth year of Shaoming, Li Cunhui, with the support of Guo Tiance, completed the missions to the border between Tubo and Tianzhu, Leh, Gar, Purang, Manjushri (Kathmandu, Nepal), Rongba Tiancheng (Sikkim Gangtok), Paro (southwest of Thimphu, Bhutan) and other seven prefectures.

These seven prefectures start from Gilgit, Pakistan in the later Pamirs in the west, and end in the southwest of Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, in the east.

The big mansions set up soldiers and horse supervisors, and the small mansions set up soldiers and horses Yuhou. Each mansion will give five horses, fifteen yaks, and eighty sheep. As for the land, as long as you are willing to cultivate it, you will be given as much as you want.

At the same time, each household of the government soldiers did not have any taxes except for paying a consistent amount of money to the imperial court every year. On the contrary, they could also receive salaries from the imperial court every year, and occasionally rewards from the royal family were awarded.

The only thing they have to do is to prepare their own weapons, obey the edict, and be ready to fight at any time.

But, the Bingma Supervisor and Bingma Yuhou of the seven major prefectures are only in charge of military affairs, while civil and administrative affairs are in the hands of the local Six Dharma Sect Masters.

At the same time, seven of the Dharma Masters of the Six Dharma Schools, the Bingma Supervisor, and Bingma Yuhou of the Seven Houses are directly Han Chinese, and five of them have close ties to the Han land. Only two of them were promoted from the local area.

There are also many middle- and lower-level officers in the government soldiers of various prefectures who come from Dafeichuan, Hehuang Valley, and Songpan Prefectures who are interested in the imperial court.

This is not a small project. It is a full four thousand miles from west to east, and most of them are in areas with relatively harsh environments and climates.

Li Cunhui ran at least eight thousand miles in total in two years before he assisted the Six Dharma Sects to establish the soldiers of the seven prefectures.

In addition, it can also be seen from the place names that although these places belonged to the scope of the Tubo Empire during the prosperity of Tubo, after the decline of Tubo, these key points that can dive to the Great Plain of the Ganges River in Tianzhu at any time are basically all has been lost.

Therefore, Li Cunhui is not only as simple as establishing a military organization in these seven mansions, but also needs to conquer them one by one.

For example, Manjusri City, which is Kathmandu, the capital of later Nepal.

During the prosperous period of the Tubo Empire, it belonged to the scope of the Tubo Empire. The name of the city comes from the fact that Manjushri Bodhisattva used divine power to move mountains and fill lakes.

But by this time, the city had been gradually occupied by the princes from Tianzhu, the ancestors of the Gurkhas who ruled later generations.

For this reason, Li Cunhui mobilized an army of [-] people twice, and went out of the Everest Mountains twice, which took nine months.

A total of more than 6 Kasi people were killed, more than [-] people were captured, hundreds of villages were burned, and they were completely beaten into slaves.

The same is true for Rongba Tiancheng (Gangtok, Sikkim). The Rongba people were originally a branch of the Tubo people, but after the decline of Tubo, they have begun to evolve their own culture and refuse orders from Jasa.

In order to conquer them, Li Cunhui went to the front line in person. In the approaching winter, when the Rongba people thought it was impossible for them to send troops, they braved the ice and snow and climbed thousands of meters of snow-capped mountains and glaciers. His younger brother Li Cunzheng lost his heels After the finger, it is determined that the magic soldier will descend from the sky and fight.

And the human head on the halberd at the door was Zhang Shengren's most hated person before that, the uncle of Xianfei Cao Yanmianzhitang, who advocated Bingzhong in Zhenyuan Kingdom.

In the ninth year of Shaoming (AD 955), after Li Cunhui completed the construction of the seven prefectures, he concentrated [-] troops in Juwei and Liecheng each, crossed Congling in two routes, and suddenly appeared in the north of Zhenyuan Kingdom.

Since the Zhang family took control of this Zhenyuan country, it was branched out for a few years at the beginning, but they were not directly descendants of Zhang Tie, they had not undergone strict training, and they were not hard-working and tenacious Han soldiers.

Secondly, they were originally bitter people who had been oppressed. Once they arrived in the honeypot of Tianzhuzhong, how could they maintain their combat effectiveness. From the national advocate Bingzhong to the soldiers below, they all began to decay rapidly.

By the time Li Cunhui pacified the battle of the three sons of Jidnimagun, the combat effectiveness of the Zhenyuan soldiers was no longer as good as that of the Tubo people on the high mountains.

This is also the main reason why Zhang Bingzhong wants to break away from Zhang Bing's control, because originally according to the regulations, Zhang Bingzhong was only the lord of the country, not the king.

The former is an official position, while the latter is the throne, so [-]% of Zhenyuan Kingdom's profits must be handed over to Khotan.

However, after the corruption of Zhang Bingzhong's whole family, they became extremely greedy, and they felt that it was not enough to share the profit among their own people, so they were not willing to hand it over to Khotan.

With the situation in the upper and lower corrupt cities, naturally when Li Cunhui's army arrived, they did not organize any decent resistance at all.

Zhenyuan City (Tianfangjiao Fort) had 10,000+ people and theoretically more than 4000 soldiers. However, it was attacked by Li Cunhui's [-] people in less than three months.

Uh, it wasn't breached yet, but it was attacked, and the people in Zhenyuan City immediately messed up because their defenses collapsed.

In this battle, Li Cunhui went on a killing spree after entering the city, except Zhang Bingzhong's second son led hundreds of people to escape.

At that time, more than [-] men of Zhang Bingzhong's clan who were arranged by Zhang Yu in Zhenyuan Kingdom were killed, regardless of their age.

At the same time, Li Cunhui also looted Zhenyuan City, and the wealth, cloth, and spices piled up in the city became the trophies of the Zhou army.

Among the people in Zhenyuan City and the surrounding area, there are still a total of [-] Indian men and women who were taken captive to the Batang Plateau.

Afterwards, with Zhang Ting's consent, Li Cunhui asked Guo Tiance to reward these treasures and half of the population in the name of the emperor and the court to the soldiers at all levels of the seven frontier prefectures, and all the soldiers would get something.

Not only them, but also the obedient nobles in Jasa and other places were rewarded.

Since then, Li Cunhui has gathered troops from Manjusri City (Kathmandu), Rongba Tiancheng (Gangtok) and other places several times to plunder all over Tianzhu.

It took Li Cunhui less than two years to restore Tubo's old habit of going south to Tianzhu to hunt grass valleys.

Since then, from the traditional nobles to the slave soldiers on the Batang Plateau, everyone believes that the supreme Zhou Dynasty is more fierce and benevolent than the former Tubo Empire.

Well, on this Batang Plateau, if you can make people feel that you are invincible and at the same time speak nicely, it means that they are sincerely surrendering to you.

Therefore, when Zhang Bingzhong's family was escorted back to Luoyang, the capital of God, Zhang Bingzhong was sentenced to a broken car, and 13 descendants were sentenced to be cut in half.

Daughters and granddaughters were given to Lu Wang Qian Hongchu, Wu Wang Li Jing, Jin Guogong Yan Jin, Zhao Guogong Pei Yuan and other honorable ministers.

Li Cunhui was named the king of Xiping County because of his meritorious service, which is a matter of course.

You must know that just the seven prefectures on the border of Batang, even the Central Plains court, and even the Tubo Empire did not have a firm control.

If in later generations, who can conquer northern Pakistan, Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan with only [-] cavalry allocated by the imperial court and [-] indigenous cavalry, it is estimated that they will become holy immediately.

However, as soon as I, the smug and smug Duke Li, entered the palace, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Without him, waiting to greet Li Cunhui in this newly expanded county mansion is a vast number of men and women, so many people that the wide small square under the platform of the mansion can hardly stand.

These are the wives, concubines and children of my Prince Li of Xiping County.

Among them, there were 13 wives and concubines with titles, and 21 wives and concubines who had no titles but gave birth to him, a total of 34, which was more than the number of concubines of his adoptive father, Emperor Zhang.

As for the children, cough cough!A total of 29 sons, 36 daughters, a total of 65 people.

You must know that Li Cunhui is one year younger than Murong Nobunaga. He was born in 920 AD and is only 37 years old this year!Counting him as an adult at the age of 15, the suitable age for childbearing is 22 years.

Well, in 22 years, 65 children were born, an average of three a year. If you count the time spent by Li Cunhui in the Southern and Northern Wars, this fertility is simply amazing.

The ability to see through the stitches is really strong!

Li Cunhui's official wife, the Song family from the Song family of Zhang Ting's grandmother, sighed secretly, and then led 88 Li Cunhui's wives, concubines and children to bow down beamingly.

Li Cunhui's eyes were straightened. To be honest, he just couldn't take it easy. When he was free, his demand for bed affairs would increase.

In addition, he is the third son of the emperor Yichao, and he is also known as the Shuangbi of the Guiyi Army with Murong Nobunaga. grandmother.

With this kind of status, there are a bunch of people fawning on him wherever he goes, and all kinds of beauties send him in front of him without money, but he still has no resistance to this aspect, so it is not surprising that the current situation has resulted.

King Li Dajun took a closer look, good guy, at least [-]% of the wives and concubines in front of him didn't have a deep impression on him, and he didn't know any of the little babies who were obviously arranged by his mother and were hugging his thigh and shouting yeah!

"My God! I'm going to die on the Batang Plateau!" Li Cunhui slammed his head and muttered in a low voice.

No wonder the righteous father, the emperor, said with a narrow smile just now that his bounty had already been taken away by his wife Song in advance.

It's no wonder that Song's letters in the past few years are all about the lack of family.

Any family with ninety members of the owner alone, and maintaining the scene of the Great Zhou Wushuang, the emperor's adopted son, and the fifth-generation grandson of the great hero Zhang Yichao, would be unable to make ends meet.

"Qingqing really worked hard!" Li Cunhui felt guilty for no reason.

When the Song family married him back then, she was also a well-known beauty in Dunhuang City. Now, in order to manage this huge family for him, she was so tired that crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Song's eyes also turned red. It would be a lie to say that there is no complaint, but what can be done?I met such a pillow man who couldn't control his crotch.

But fortunately, her father-in-law and mother-in-law all take pity on her and support her. Although her husband likes to flirt with others, he still regards her as the main one. No matter where the beauties come from, he dare not be arrogant.

Resisting tears to wet the newly painted makeup, Song smiled and lifted a three-month-old baby wrapped in swaddling clothes to Li Cunhui.

(Fuck dish)
!!!

"Grass!" Li Cunhui was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly became furious, his eyes burst into flames, and he looked around in extreme anger, roaring loudly:
"Who did this good thing? Damn it! I'm in Batang and haven't been home for four years. How can I have a baby?"

"Ah!" Mrs. Song was dumbfounded, "Puff, hahahahahaha!" Then he laughed uncontrollably.

Seeing Mrs. Song laughing, the rest of the concubines couldn't help it, especially the concubines from Songpan Mansion couldn't help it, and they started to tremble all over.

Li Cunhui still dared to laugh seeing them, and became even more angry. He thought it was because he had not been home for a long time, and his wives and concubines began to despise him.

With a wave of his hand, he immediately shouted loudly to let the trilogy outside the door come in with sticks to enforce the family law.

At this moment, a slightly thin man walked forward to Li Cunhui with a face full of dumbfounding, and said hesitantly: "My lord, this is not your son, this is your grandson!"

Li Cunhui:
At this time, King Li Dajun realized that the man in front of him, whose fluff had faded from the corners of his mouth, with sharp edges and sharp eyes, was his eldest son Li Zexian.

Li Cunhui blushed all of a sudden, he sighed for a long time, tears finally slipped out of his eyes.

In his impression, the eldest son Li Zexian was still a little boy with a thick head and a tiger head.

yes!When he went to Batang, Li Zexian was only 14 years old, but now he is an adult and even has a son.

Li Cunhui took the grandson in Song's hands, choked up twice, "I'm sorry for you!"

This sorry, can be said to come from the heart, Li Cunhui married early, consummated the house with the Song family at the age of 15, had his eldest daughter at the age of 16, and the eldest son Li Zexian was born to him at the age of 19.

He has been fighting outside these years, and there are not many days to return to Shendu.

When the eldest daughter got married, Zhengzhi refused to accept Wang Hua and killed the officials sent by Guo Wei. Li Cunhui was ordered to lead an army of [-] as the main force to pacify central Guizhou.

When the eldest son got married, he was in charge of establishing the seven prefectures on the Batang border on the Batang Plateau, and beat up the Gurkhas in Manjusri City (Kathmandu).

For a father, this is very unqualified.

At this moment, the Song family had some sympathy and understanding for Li Cunhui. With the emperor's adopted son and the reputation of an invincible commander on his back, no matter where he fought, he would definitely be indispensable.

Under this kind of pressure, I am afraid that Li Cunhui can no longer hold anything in his heart except fighting. When he suddenly looked back, he realized that he owed a lot to the people around him, and wanted to make up for it.

This is a pure soldier.

Mrs. Song affectionately picked up the towel and wiped away the tears from the corners of Li Cunhui's eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Alang fought for the country, went to the snow-capped mountains in winter, and went to the south of the Yangtze River in summer. He suffered so much and died a few times. Without you, there would be no us." The security and glory of the whole family.

When Zhenniang came out of the pavilion, it was her aunt who came from the palace to see her off. Qian Shishilang was handsome, personable, knowledgeable and good at poetry and painting, and he was a good match.

When the eldest brother got married, his father summoned him to the Ziwei Palace to preside over the wedding in person according to the ceremony of the emperor's grandson. For this, King Jing married Jinshan Yinshan as a dowry, and the sending team ran across the gods. Your husband should be very happy. "

Li Cunhui's eldest daughter Zhenniang married Qian Hongxin, the fourteenth younger brother of Lu Wang Qian Hongchu, and his eldest son Li Zexian married the daughter of King Jing Gao Baorong.

The two weddings were extremely grand, and Zhang Tie gave them high treatment in order not to chill Li Cunhui's heart. After all, he couldn't even rush back for his son and daughter's wedding because he wanted to fight for the country.

Although Li Cunhui knew that Zhang Tie held the wedding ceremony very grandly, but when he said it from Song's mouth at this moment, it was another feeling.

He gratefully kowtowed in the direction of the palace, thanking his adoptive father, the emperor, for being so considerate.

However, after thanking his adoptive father Zhang Shengren, Li Cunhui's frown still did not relax.

You must know that at this time, not only do you need to spend gift money to marry your daughter-in-law, but you also need to pay a large amount of dowry to marry your daughter.

The money is equivalent to the start-up capital for the young couple to build a new home, so every time a daughter-in-law is married and a daughter is married, the parents have to "bleed" once.

Not to mention Li Cunhui's status and status, if he is missing, he can't do it at all. 29 sons and 36 daughters, it's scary to think about it.

After the lively family dinner, Li Cunhui looked at the 16-year-old second son Li Zeyi, the third son Li Zeyan, and the 15-year-old fourth son, including six sons over 13 years old, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

The children are all grown up now, and the eldest son has graduated from Longtao Academy. He is now serving as the Marquis of Xuchang County in Xuchang Mansion. He is not very capable and has not inherited the genes of the famous generals of the Li family ancestors.

But the second son, Li Zeyi, and the third son, Li Zeyan, were different. They grew up in an environment where they raced all the way in the big week and watched their parents make great achievements.

Therefore, although they are not very old, they are all as strong as Xiong Wei, and their personal martial arts and the ability of marching commanders are not low.

In particular, the third son, Li Zeyan, was a blockbuster in last year's martial arts examination and won the Zhili martial arts examination Yuan. A horse spear defeated all the heroes in the thirteen prefectures of Zhili. Even a sharpshooter like Fan Changgong praised him greatly.

Now, the country is safe and sound, and some small rebellions will not make a difference at all.The unruly people on the grassland have long been called under the banner of the Six Dharma School.

Isn't it a pity to stay in the country and earn his qualifications step by step in the pro-military or regretful mountains with his own ability like Saburo.

Thinking of this, Li Cunhui looked at his sons and asked, "Do my sons dare to leave this gentle town and build a great career outside?"

Li Cunhui still underestimated his sons, they were no longer those eleven or twelve-year-old boys when Li Cunhui left.

The third son Li Zeyan's eyes lit up, and he replied loudly: "Why don't you dare, the children have long imagined that Yeye will go to the Extinction Domain, destroy powerful enemies, capture and kill the lord of the enemy country and dedicate it to the saint."

The second son, Li Zeyi, was even smarter. He looked at Li Cunhui and asked abruptly, "Yeye, do you want our brothers to go to Tianzhu Xiajun Yimin?"

Good guy, Li Cunhui was completely shocked, he didn't say anything, the children had already guessed everything, and stuffed all the bold words he thought of back into their stomachs.

King Li Dajun groaned for a long time, and could only nod his head and said: "Yes, I have conquered Tianzhu several times for my father, and I know that there are rich and prosperous places. There are at least 150 million households on the banks of the Xindu River and the Suga River (Ganges River). Thousands of people.

Its people are dark and weak, and the armaments of all countries are poor. With the power of our great Zhou warriors, hundreds of people can occupy a large area and rule tens of thousands of households with ease.

Although the place is hot, but when it is hot, you can go to the Batang Plateau to escape the summer heat. If the aborigines revolt on a large scale, there is no need for the imperial court to send troops, and the soldiers from the seven frontier prefectures will go south to quell the chaos. "

Li Zeyan's eyes became brighter, "Yeye is the envoy of the seven frontier prefectures to observe and deal with them, and the soldiers of the seven prefectures were established by Yeye, so it would be better for me to take advantage of it when I go!

Brother, the opportunity has come, you and my brothers go with Yeye, after arriving in Tianzhu, everyone can be a prince of ten thousand households! "

Li Zeyi was also agitated by his younger brother's words, but he became a little discouraged after being excited for a while.

"The foreign vassals haven't been conferred with foreign surnames yet. You can't let Yeye go to Tianzhu to become the king. Besides, our family has no money. If we don't have money, where can we go to recruit parts?"

Li Cunhui chuckled, "What are you afraid of? We don't have money, but your aunt and grandma have! You can't be the king of foreign vassals, but your cousin Li can do it!"

Li Cunhui's aunt, Li Wenxiu, can also be regarded as one of the emperor's favorite concubines. Brother Li is Zhang Xianli, the ninth son of the emperor born by Li Wenxiu. He is 12 years old this year.

"Yes!" Li Zeyi laughed and said, "With the support of my great-aunt, we can work together to push Uncle Jiu up, let him go to Tianzhu to become the king of the feudal kingdom, and we will be the princes under him.

Our brothers worked together to build a big country with [-] households, let Jiushu govern [-] households, and our five brothers assisted him, each governing [-] households. "

The father and son talked more and more enthusiastically, and wished they could fly to Tianzhu now and become the princes of ten thousand households.

Li Cunhui is also very happy in his heart, if he can really have a family of [-] households in Tianzhu, these brothers will work harder, and the bride price and dowry of his younger brothers and sisters will be settled.

At this moment, Li Cunhui's younger brother Li Cunzheng limped and ran over quickly, "Brother, the saint and the fourth aunt have already visited your house in secret."

Li Cunhui was overjoyed, and laughed three times excitedly, "It seems that the sage is what we think, sooner or later you will have a share in Tianzhu."

But right away, Li Cunhui looked at his sons and said in a deep voice: "Just now, no one is allowed to tell about my mistake!"

Li Cunhui knew it, so he took the virtue of his adoptive father Zhang Tie who liked to laugh at him. After knowing this, he must not laugh at him for decades!
The sons nodded hastily, but it's a pity that before they went out, they heard someone laughing outside:
"Hahahaha, Cun Hui'er, I heard that you treat your grandson as your son, and you are still furious and cursing? Hahahahaha!"

Li Cunhui groaned while holding his forehead, and almost fell to the ground.

"Who is this? Such a big mouth!"
