Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 221 The world is in chaos, all parties

fair?

Mou Yu Khan snorted coldly, growing up on the grassland, he didn't know what fairness was at all.

His mother was just the daughter of a Lite merchant snatched by Gele Khan. After giving birth to Mou Yu Khan, no one cared about her and lived in the most dilapidated tent in the king's account.

Mou Yu Khan was able to change from an unappreciated son of a merchant to the current owner of the grassland, and he had nothing in fair exchange.

But Mou Yu Khan also knows that equivalent exchange is the most important principle of merchant transactions.

Shang Bo said: "Let the merchants of Datang enter the grassland and trade at our trading post in Datang."

Mou Yu Khan was taken aback, this is what Datang asked for?
However, it was very common for Tang merchants to enter the grasslands before the Leopard Wenshan Tea Horse Market was opened.

After the opening of the tea horse market in Baowen Mountain, the Tang Dynasty restricted merchants from entering the grassland.

Shang Bo said: "Our Datang will set up a trading station on the grassland to directly purchase commodities and sell grain."

Mou Yu Khan was a little strange, he didn't understand why Datang did this.

However, Datang is willing to increase the cost by himself and transport the grain to the grassland, but Mou Yu Khan can't wait for it. He nodded and said: "This is naturally no problem. Ben Khan can agree to the businessmen of Datang to build a trading station and do business on the grassland. trading."

Shang Bo bowed and said: "Great Khan, your mind is as broad as an eagle. May the friendship between Datang and Uyghur last forever!"

Shangbo and Mou Yu Khan signed a secret agreement. Longyou will first transport [-] dans of grain to the grassland for sale, and Datang will build ten trading stations on the grassland. Datang merchants can engage in trade in the trading station, and Mouyu Yu Khan needs to protect the safety of the trading post.

The offensive and defensive situation between Longyou and Uyghur changed, and the news also spread from Longyou to Tubo.

Dong Dao talked about Shang Qixin'er since Dangjinshankou's defeat, she has been holding back her breath.

However, the loss of Dangjin Mountain Pass also caused Tubo to lose the passage from Shazhou to the north.

Shang Qi was suffocating in her heart, and wanted to show Datang a little more color.

A few days ago, the Tubo envoys in Datang reported that the Tubo envoys offered to borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty, and only asked the Tang Dynasty to allow Tubo to enter Longyou to "protect" the trade route. This proposal was rejected by the Tang court.

Shang Qi was annoyed in her heart, now that she lost Dangjin Pass, the passage to the north, her eyes were set on the first of the four counties in Hexi, Wuwei City in Liangzhou!
When Shang Qixin'er sent spies into Liangzhou to inquire about the situation in Wuwei.

The officials and officials of King Jianning finally arrived in Zhangye City, and Yu Chixin, who was guarding Zhangye City, was finally willing to let the four members of the eastbound group continue eastward.

Li Daoyuan and his group set off from Zhangye and continued westward to the last stop of the four counties in Hexi, Wuwei City in Liangzhou.

Yu Xiaoxiao happily rode a horse, finally freed from Zhangye's busy government affairs, and continued to travel!

From Zhangye to the east, the architectural style gradually moves closer to the Central Plains.

Not far ahead is the most important of the four counties in Hexi, Wuwei City in Liangzhou.

Yu Xiaoxiao saw the majestic Wuwei City, and asked Zhang Duanyang: "Mr. Zhang, why does Wuwei City, where the Hexi Jiedushi is located, seem to be more prosperous in Zhangye?"

What Yu Xiaoxiao said is indeed correct. People at the time said "Golden Zhangye, Silver Wuwei". Zhangye's climate and soil conditions are better. In this agricultural era, Zhangye is a fertile area with thousands of miles of fertile fields.

In comparison, the environment in Wuwei is not as good as that in Zhangye. The Hexi Jiedu Envoy is not stationed in Zhangye City, but in Wuwei City, where the environment is even worse. Yu Xiaoxiao doesn't understand.

Zhang Duanyang said: "This is because the location of Wuwei City is too important. Wuwei North controls the road going south from the Mobei Grassland, strangles the Hexi Corridor to the west, and firmly curbs the road to the east of the plateau. You say this city is not important. important?"

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded half understanding, but compared to Zhangye City, Wuwei City's walls are taller, and the city's scale is also much larger than Zhangye City.

Li Daoyuan said: "Liangzhou's terrain is very steep. The vicinity of Wuwei City is still a plain area, but not far from Wuwei City, there are mountains and mountains, and the altitude suddenly rises."

Yu Xiaoxiao still didn't understand and asked: "Is this the reason why it's dangerous in Wuwei?"

Li Daoyuan said: "Our country has a three-tiered geographical structure. It is difficult for the Central Plains dynasty living in low-altitude areas to fight in high-altitude areas."

Now Yu Xiaoxiao understood a little bit, and she immediately said: "That's true, I have been to the plateau once, and the feeling of altitude sickness is really terrible."

Li Daoyuan continued: "Actually, soldiers on the plateau are very uncomfortable to fight in low-altitude areas. This kind of geographical isolation is even more effective than dangerous fortresses."

"Wuwei City is such a place. The low-altitude area here is suitable for farming in the Central Plains, but not far from Wuwei City is the plateau basin. This steep slope makes Wuwei City a bridgehead against Tubo."

So, Yu Xiaoxiao once again realized that geography is such important information, no wonder in the real world, geographic surveying and mapping information is a very important state secret.

Li Daoyuan pointed to Wuwei City and said: "The other three counties in the Hexi Corridor are not as important as a city like Wuwei, which is why Datang has stationed a large army in Wuwei."

The four were about to enter Wuwei City, but at this time the owner of Wuwei City, Tang Zhongshu Ping Zhangshi, Hexi Jiedu envoy Fang Guan, was depressed in the Jiedu envoy's mansion.

The impeachment memorial he presented to the emperor has been sent to the imperial court, but Fengxiang Mansion has not responded at all, and so far there has been no discussion at all about King Jianning's occupation of Zhangye in the court.

This also made Fang Guan very anxious. He originally thought that the imperial court would immediately order King Jianning to hand over Zhangye and Jiuquan.

But the silence of the emperor and the court gave Fang Guan a bad feeling.

In fact, Fang Guan already knew that he was disgusted by the emperor again.

His memorials were sent to Fengxiang Mansion without any response, because Fang Guan had become an insignificant person, his wailing and complaints would naturally not cause any disturbance in the court.

Fang Guan spent the whole day in Jiedushi's mansion ignoring political affairs, and all the people in Jiedushi's mansion looked down on him.

Just when Li Daoyuan and his party entered Wuwei City, Datang Fengxiang Mansion, the temporary capital of Datang, the emperor of Datang was looking at the map.

Datang's 150,000 troops gathered in Qingqu not far from Xijing, which is less than [-] miles away from Xijing, and the recovery of Xijing is just around the corner.

The emperor rubbed his hands excitedly. Ever since he ran away from Xijing in embarrassment that night, Li Heng has always wanted to return to the bustling Xijing.

He ascended the throne in Lingwu, a small border town in Lingwu, where there are not even Confucian scholars who understand the enthronement ceremony.

At that time, Li Mi was the only civil servant and Guo Ziyi was the only general who accompanied Li Heng.

Even Shuofang's generals didn't think highly of him as an emperor.

From this moment on, Li Heng planted a seed in his heart, that only by recovering the two capitals would he be justified as the emperor.

This obsession also made him eager to veto Guo Ziyi's plan to attack the thief's lair first, and instead concentrated his army to recover the two capitals first.

Now in front of Li Heng, regaining the two capitals is the top priority!
As the emperor's former chief conspirator, Secretary Supervisor Li Mi coughed, quietly wiped the blood on his handkerchief, and said to Li Heng: "Your Majesty, Hexi Jiedu Envoy Fang Guan will impeach King Jianning for sending troops to Zhangye to invade Hexi." Ganzhou under the rule of Jiedushifu."

Li Heng was already very tired of this memorial, and Li Heng supported Fang Guan's plan to change the horse into a mulberry, which made him go to Hexi.

But after this guy arrived in Hexi, he failed to change his horse to a mulberry. It also aroused a civil uprising in Suzhou, Ganzhou, and almost caused the court to lose the Hexi Corridor.

Fortunately, his son King Jianning dispatched troops quickly to suppress the civil uprising in Zhangye, which did not make the situation worse.

For this reason, his son specially wrote a secret performance, explaining the reasons for sending troops to Zhangye, and promised to provide more and better war horses to the court instead of Fang Guan.

Let's see who is Datang's loyal minister!

King Jianning calmly quelled the rebellion and promised to provide more horses. That Fang Guan knew how to impeach King Jianning one by one, and what he had done to the four counties in Hexi! ?
What made Li Heng even more annoyed was that Fang Guan sold a lot of Sangtian in advance before he took office as the core.

Those ministers and nobles who bought the mulberry fields also attacked Fang Guan all day long, saying that the mulberry fields they had promised to them had not been leveled until now, and they all shouted for the court to refund the money.

money back?Now that the battle on the front line is tight, where can I get money?
Moreover, this money did not go into the pocket of the imperial court, but into the Hexi Jiedu envoy in Fangguan!
Up to now, the Hexi Jiedu Mansion has not paid any money to the imperial court, but it has caused a lot of trouble for the imperial court.

In contrast, the son of King Jianning was much more at ease.

The imperial court dispatched a large army from Longyou to enter the customs. In fact, the imperial court had already proposed to abandon Longyou.

King Jianning went to Longyou and was able to stabilize the situation in Longyou, which made the emperor very satisfied.

In fact, for Li Heng, whether to give up on Longyou or not is not an important matter.

However, when he was just enthroned, he abandoned the territory and abandoned the land, which is not good for his reputation as the new emperor. More importantly, many lands in Longyou were developed during the reign of the emperor. Now the emperor is still in the middle of Sichuan, so he directly abandoned Longyou It will make more people miss the emperor's era, which is not good for Li Heng's throne.

In the secret performance sent by King Jianning, he also promised to provide Guanzhong with [-] horses and [-] heads of all kinds of miscellaneous animals. This also relieved the urgent need of the emperor who was in short supply of war horses.

Not to mention that in the emperor's heart, there was a vague idea of ​​letting King Jianning restrain the prince.

"Fang Guan's melodies will continue to be kept in the Central Committee and will not be released. In addition, he ordered to reward King Jianning, and ordered the counties and counties in Hexi and Shuofang to do a good job of responding, and send the tribute horses from Longyou to Fengxiang Mansion as soon as possible!"
