Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 169 Yuantong's Epic Mission
Is this all as it should be?
Bawu, the lowest-level warrior, didn't have any grain in his family's barn, and the tax collectors had to come over and exploit it again and again.

But the castle owner in Tianjun City lived a life of extravagance.

Bawu once fantasized about becoming a castle master after establishing military exploits.

But in the last battle against Datang, all Bawu got was humiliation.

I only heard Monk Yuantong continue to say: "If the Buddha is supported by living beings, isn't there a lot of bones of living beings behind the golden Buddha Kingdom?"

Ba Wu was horrified, the monk's words were already treasonous.

Bawu pulled out the long knife in his hand, put it on Yuantong's neck and asked, "You monk, what nonsense are you talking about! The noble castle owner is a fief for Tiansheng Zanpu to expand the territory!"

Yuan Tong said with a smile: "That's the credit of the castle owner's father. The current castle owner hasn't been on the battlefield for a day."

Bawu had no way to refute Yuantong's words, he just stared at the monk and said, "You monk, you are bewitching people!"

Monk Yuantong smiled and said: "Whether it's a demon or not, but you, the castle owner, have already been shaken. The castle owner exploits the manor owner, and the manor owner exploits the farmers. This is not a Buddhist kingdom, but a purgatory on the ground painted with gold paint. That's all."

After saying this, Monk Yuantong bowed to Bawu and returned to his room.

Bawu was stunned holding the long knife, Yuantong's words made him start to think, what did he get in return for the money, food and taxes he handed over to the castle owner?
The protection of the castle lord?When fighting, they also need to prepare their own food and horses. The castle owner seems to have never provided any protection for his manor.

The castle owner just kept sending out tax collectors, but what did they bring to Bawu's manor?
Bawu began to think about this question, but at this time Monk Yuantong didn't say anything, and no one gave him an answer.

In the next few days, Bawu worked in the fields in a daze. His previous lord was his father, and his belief that the castle lord was supreme began to waver.

However, Yuantong has been very busy recently. Ever since he posted his actions in Tubo on the forum, his private chats have not stopped.

Countless players are curious about what Tubo looks like, and Yuantong posted another guide, detailing how he disguised himself as a monk from Leiyin Temple and sneaked into Shang Qixin'er's monastery pretending to be a monk.

Then Yuantong took advantage of Shang Qixin'er's great opportunity to build a Buddhist temple and went deep into the hinterland of Tubo.

Just after Yuantong entered Tubo, he received a systematic mission, which is also an epic mission!

[Establish a resistance organization in Tubo host! 】

[Task Reward: Title - Secret Spy of the Tang Dynasty, you can use the exclusive badge in the forum.

Contribution point reward: 800 points. 】

Yuantong quickly lurked in the territory of Tubo, and was assigned step by step to the castle owner of Tianjun City, and then to Bawu's manor.

This is an epic mission!And get a unique title in the game!
The players who won the title before have all become the top players in the game. This is the proof of high-end players!
Although the game title and the forum exclusive badge don't have any attribute points bonus, but this is handsome!
If you can't play a game, is it still called playing a game?
Originally, Yuantong was ambitious and wanted to achieve a career on his own and set up a resistance organization in Tubo.

But soon Yuantong realized this. In this inconvenient place, it was almost impossible to pull up the resistance army by himself.

Although Tubo is an empire that can come and go with the Great Tang militarily, its society is still quite backward.

Castle owner-manor owner-manor farmer-serf.

Such a strict hierarchy is almost unshakable for generations.

The son of the castle owner is still the owner of the castle, and the second son of the castle owner can become the owner of the manor.

The son of the manor owner is still the manor owner, while the second son of the manor owner can only become an ordinary farmer.

Such a strict hierarchy bound the Tubo people firmly to the land. If it wasn't for his status as a Yuantong monk, he would not have been able to get in touch with so many people.

But this is also the limit distance that Yuantong can move. If it is too far beyond Bawu's manor, a wandering monk will arouse the vigilance of the manor owner.

Since there is no way for one person to complete the task, Yuantong simply posted the process of sneaking into Tubo's Tubo on the forum to attract more players to complete the task.

Anyway, as the triggerer of the epic mission, I can naturally get the biggest part of the reward.

Sure enough, after the mission was announced, it really aroused the interest of many players.

Some adventurous players also began to pay attention to this epic mission.

In the game Datang Fengyun, the most criticized thing is the obvious first-mover advantage.

The players of the first test and the second test are generally not too bad now. Even with the accumulated contacts, they can get a job with a stable contribution point.

Compared with the players of the first test and the second test, the players of the third test, the fourth test and the fifth test are relatively lucky, but it is very difficult to get ahead.

As for the six-test and seven-test players, basically they can only work hard to accumulate contribution points, and don't think about participating in various ranking activities, and their status is similar to that of cannon fodder.

According to the experience summed up by the old players in the game, if the players behind want to get ahead, they can only rely on "curve overtaking".

That is to discover new tracks. If you just follow the old players, it will be difficult to get to a higher position.

Obviously, the task discovered by Yuantong is a good opportunity to overtake.

However, crossing the Qilian Mountains or Daxue Mountains and getting into the monastery founded by Shang Qixin'er has stumped most players.

But there are also many players who shaved their heads, put on cassocks, and began to prepare to cross the Snow Mountain or Qilian Mountain.

The fire seeds have been planted, and they are waiting for the opportunity to germinate. Li Yan is not stingy with rewarding these brave players.

However, counterattacking Tubo is still a long way off for the Jianning King's Mansion, which has just begun to develop. Now he is looking at the letter that Cui Tao just submitted, and his brows are frowned again.

As the leader of a force, Li Yan must consider the direction of future development.

The dispute between going west and going north ended with the Uyghur invasion. King Jianning had to go north to end the dispute. After occupying Xizhou, he followed the plan of going north, using Xizhou to control Tingzhou and Beiting Duhufu, so as to further Control the northern part of Longyou Dao.

The plan to occupy Xizhou has cleared the obstacles at the Shazhou Conference, the old aristocrats have died down, and Dasuo Maangyue is also proceeding smoothly.

But the plan of Beikong Tingzhou has encountered a lot of obstacles.

Cao Lingzhong, the Protector of Beiting, is the actual controller of Beiting after staying behind the Protectorate of Beiting.

After staying in the Duhufu, he was a member of the Lite tribe among the nine surnames of Zhaowu, who was naturalized in the Tang Dynasty. However, the Cao family has been Sinicized for several generations. Apart from the alien features in appearance, everything else is completely different. Han Chinese.

Cao Lingzhong guarded Beiting and defeated Uyghurs and big cannibals many times. It can be said that he has outstanding military exploits.

However, during the emperor's period, Yang Guozhong suppressed Jiedu envoys from all over the country, and the Beiting was vacant for a long time. Cao Lingzhong was not promoted to the governor, and he was only allowed to command Beiting as deputy.

Cao Lingzhong has been serving as the Beiting Governor for ten years since he stayed, but Cao Lingzhong is deeply supported by the Beiting generals and has a high reputation among the Beiting's various ministries.

According to Cui Tao's intention, use the imperial court's order to make Cao Lingzhong surrender, and then use the players to slowly reorganize the forces in Beiting.

But I didn't expect that the first step would hit a snag. After Li Yan was sent to Beiting Governor's Mansion under the order of Longyou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Cao Lingzhong directly refused to obey the order.

Not obeying the order can only be said to be Cao Lingzhong's rebellion, but Cao Lingzhong wrote a letter in turn, saying that the Han Navy defeated the Uighur rangers, and in turn asked Li Yan for a reward.

This time, Li Yan was annoyed. You, Cao Lingzhong, didn't follow orders, but you are still asking for money. Does this mean that you are a soft persimmon when you are the king of Jianning?

However, a letter from Cui Tao explained why Beiting Dufu Mansion would behave so strangely.

Beiting Duhu is a high-ranking official of the second grade, and he governs a large frontier territory in the north of Longyou Road.

Although the entire Longyou Road is divided into one, it is roughly divided into three areas.

Starting from the Hexi Corridor, several prefectures including Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, including Gaochang, were the state capitals where the imperial court established counties and appointed governors.

Politically, this place is under the command of the governor's office, and militarily, it is under the control of the Hexi Jiedushi's office.When there is a war in Longyou, the Hexi Jiedushi can also govern the civil affairs of these few prefectures.

This system is the same as the state capital in Datang Pass, and it can be regarded as the direct territory of Datang.

In the north of Longyou Road, including Zhisuoting Prefecture, Beiting Duhufu did not set up a state capital like the Hexi Corridor, but adopted the method of detention.

The method of confinement is that the Tang Dynasty only set up cities in several places such as Tingzhou and Luntai, and stationed troops in several places to protect the cities. For those small kingdoms living in Beiting, the Tang Dynasty controlled these small kingdoms through the canonization and tribute system. to control the area.

The same is true for the Anxi Dufu Mansion on the west side of Longyou Road. The Tang Dynasty only stationed troops in the four towns of Anxi, but also retained many small countries in Anxi, supporting the pro-Tang forces in these small countries, acting as protectors and arbitrators of these small countries, so as to control these areas.

Under Beiting Duhufu, there are three armies of Hanhai, Tianshan, and Yiwu, which govern the three counties of Jinman, Luntai, and Pulei. There are also sixteen Jimi prefectures. These Jimi prefectures do not have state governors. The Tang Dynasty canonized a group of nomadic peoples The leader is Khan, who rules these states.

In Cui Tao's letter, he also clarified the situation of the Beiting Protectorate in Tingzhou, that is, the Tang Dynasty's ruling authority over Beiting is disintegrating, and the control of the three armies of Beiting and the tribes in northern Xinjiang has been reduced to the minimum. Not only did the tribes in the court not pay tribute, even the Beiting Governor's Mansion disobeyed orders several times.

Beiting is already on the verge of going alone!
