Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2472
Its daybreak.

The sun is rising and the temperature is very high. People who are hot are a little uncomfortable.

The smell of blood has not dissipated, and it can be smelled from a distance.

The Tang army has already controlled the Tubo royal city.

When Qin Tian reappeared in Wangcheng with his soldiers and horses, some Tang soldiers had already started to deal with the battlefield.

Many corpses of Tubo soldiers need to be disposed of, and some of their Tang army corpses also need to be disposed of, and then their ashes will be taken back.

Although the general died in hundreds of battles, and the shroud of horse leather is their destination, they don't want their souls to be buried here, they want to go home.

They can't go home alive, but the ashes also go back.

War is cruel, but for people like them, there is no choice.

Now that you are a soldier, you must obey orders and be prepared to die in battle.

Qin Tian's expression was indifferent. Looking at the corpses of so many men from the Tang Dynasty, it must be impossible for him not to feel pain in his heart.

Qin Tian walked all the way, and when he arrived in the city, he called Qin Huaiyu over.

"From now on, appease the people here and tell them that as long as they are willing to surrender to my Great Tang and become my citizens, my Great Tang will treat them equally and will never treat or bully them badly, their lives and property They can also be protected, but if they are enemies with my Great Tang, then don't blame me for being rude."

After breaking through a city, it is necessary to appease the people here, but appeasement is not connivance. If someone refuses to obey orders and refuses to surrender, it is useless to keep them, but it will become a potential danger, so when appeasement , bloody cases abound.

There is no problem with Qin Tian's order.

After Qin Huaiyu took the order, he asked again: "Brother Qin, do you want to talk about those slaves as well?"

Slavery has not been abolished. Now that they have captured the Tubo King City, they will have to face this problem.

And this situation is a bit embarrassing for them.

If they don't abolish slavery, these rich and powerful people in Tubo will easily surrender, because for them, it doesn't make much difference to be a citizen of that country, as long as they can keep their valuables.

However, Qin Tian has already agreed to Gu Gua, if the slavery system is not abolished, Gu Gua and the others will be disappointed and angry, and there may be troubles at that time.

Qin Huaiyu felt that this problem was very serious, but Qin Tian only thought about it for a moment, and then said: "The slavery system is a backward system. I did not have this system in the Tang Dynasty. Now that Tubo has been destroyed, all the territory of Tubo belongs to us. Don’s territory, then in this place, I don’t want to see so-called slaves, they are all human beings, just like us.”

Although after making this decision, it would be difficult to quickly appease the people here, but Qin Tian still decided to do so.

Qin Huaiyu nodded, he already understood what to do.

In comparison, being able to pull those slaves over is stronger than those powerful people. Those powerful people are not familiar with them, even if they have money, it is useless.
-
The work of appeasement is going on in the Tubo royal city.

There were guards announcing Qin Tian's order over and over again on the streets of Tubo King City, and when the order was issued, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

They were all afraid that after the Tang army repelled the Tubo soldiers and horses, they would massacre the city and wash the entire Tubo royal city with blood. In that case, the doomsday for them would come.

Although Datang seldom massacres cities, it is not without examples that Datang has slaughtered cities before, so they are definitely worried.

But now, Tang Jun has said that they will not massacre the city, and will protect their lives and property, as long as they surrender to Datang and become citizens of Datang.

Betraying one's own country and becoming a citizen of another country is difficult for many people to accept. The people here in Tubo King City have a greater sense of identity with Tubo. If so, let them betray Tubo , it becomes more difficult.

What's more, now the Tang army only broke through the Tubo royal city, but did not kill Songtsan Gampo.

Therefore, while the people here breathed a sigh of relief, they also had some reluctance in their hearts. Therefore, although most of them did not want to betray Tubo in their hearts, they did not appear to be hostile to Datang.

Everything depends on who can win the final victory.

If Datang really wins, they don't want to be Tang people, but they have to be Tang people.

However, the situation that these people wanted to remain neutral was quickly broken.

Just when Qin Huaiyu announced the complete abolition of slavery, the entire Tubo royal city erupted in excitement.

"How did this happen? Why did Datang abolish slavery? Didn't they say they wanted to protect our property? Those slaves are our property, and they are plundering our property."

"That's right, that's right, the people in Datang are indeed uneasy and kind, they say one thing and do another, it's really chilling, chilling."

"That's right, that's right, how can the people of Datang behave like this? They promised to protect our property, but why didn't they protect it?"

"We can't let them do this, we're going to protest, protest."

"Yes, we will protest."

"........."

The powerful and wealthy people in the royal city of Tubo were very angry. When Datang's decision touched their interests, they would show their fangs.

A group of people mightily stopped the officers and soldiers of the Tang army patrolling the street.

"Why abolish slavery, why, tell us why?"

They yelled that they didn't believe that the people of Datang could do anything to them. You must know that Datang had just controlled the city.

The patrolling soldiers stopped, glanced at the troublemakers, and said coldly: "There are no slaves in the Tang Dynasty, and this place has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so slavery must be abolished naturally. Do you think there is any problem with this?"

"There is a problem, of course there is a problem, those slaves are our property, how can you just take them away?"

"That's right, that's right, this is robbery, robbery."

"We are against the abolition of slavery, we are against..."

This group of people kept yelling, and the momentum was quite loud, but those Tang soldiers were not afraid at all. The leading guard smiled coldly: "These slaves have already been restored to freedom by Songtsan Gampo. When are they still your private property, if you want to make trouble, go to Songtsan Gampo or our Datang, then you are looking for death."
