Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

"Serfs? Peasants also have slaves?"

All the officials couldn't help but be surprised, knowing that there were no slaves in China for a long time, only farmers and tenants, but there was still the most cruel slavery system in distant Tubo.

Fan Zheng explained: "Serfdom is a unique phenomenon in Tubo. They are between slaves and farmers. They have no property and have to endure cruel exploitation and high taxes by serf owners. They are the lowest class and the poorest in Tubo. A group of people, and they are large in number, accounting for more than [-]% of the population of Tubo."

At the moment, Fan Zheng told the details of the Tibetan serfdom system. Any small mistake will result in the harshest punishment, failure to pay high rent, and even the death penalty.

"Ah! If this is the case, how can the Tibetan serfs not resist!"

The officials exclaimed, "To put it this way, the serfs in Tubo are living in hell, which is even more terrifying than in the last years of all dynasties."

Slavery has long been abolished in China, and the majority of the people in the Song Dynasty were homesteaders. Many landlords recruited tenants to cultivate the land, and they also needed to leave enough income for the tenants to survive. If the Tubo serfdom system had been implemented in the Song Dynasty, there would have been wars long ago. , Thirty-six Road Rebel King, seventy-two puffs of smoke filled the ground.

According to the statistics of the imperial court, as long as [-]% of the people lost their land and livelihood, the imperial court would be on the verge of collapse. However, Tubo was able to carry out such a cruel serfdom system without causing [-]% of the serfs to rebel. In the Manchu Dynasty It seemed like a miracle to Bai Guan.

"The serfdom system can continue to be implemented. In addition to the cruel suppression of the Tibetan lords, which prevents them from resisting, Tubo Buddhism also contributes a lot. It preaches that the situation of serfs is the result of karma." Fan Zheng sneered.

"The consequences of karma?"

Zhao Xu frowned, he was very unfamiliar with this word.

Su Shi immediately stepped forward and explained: "Karma is a Buddhist term, also known as cause and effect, which means the cause of the past life and the result of this life."

Fan Zheng said angrily: "Tubo Buddhism makes the serfs believe that their suffering in this life is because of the sins they committed in their previous lives. Only by enduring suffering can they wash away their sins and be reincarnated in the next life to a better state and live the life of a lord. "

"Do they believe this? Fully [-]% of the Tubo serfs, and only [-]% of the lords and monks. Even if there is reincarnation, they will have to undergo eight more reincarnations before they can enjoy happiness in one turn."

Zhao Xu was stunned.

These serfs are too easy to deceive! Even if you don’t understand such a simple truth?
  on the contrary! There were many unruly people in the Song Dynasty. Even though the Song Dynasty was good enough to the people, bandits still continued.

Fan Zheng said helplessly: "They are a group of foreigners, backward and ignorant, and coupled with the deception of Tubo Buddhism, they believe it. Of course, it is not that there will be no resistance from the serfs, but the resistance will be more severely suppressed. , coupled with physical and mental control, the serfs gradually accepted their fate, but we are fortunate that civilization is in the hands of the Song Dynasty. The Tibetan serfs lived in dire straits, but gave the Song Dynasty the opportunity to quickly pacify Tubo."

"Fan Aiqing means to rescue the serfs?" Zhao Xu said with bright eyes.

In any society, there are the most poor people, especially the Tibetan serfs who lived in dire straits. The army of the Song Dynasty did not occupy Tubo, but rescued the serfs. This was the behavior of the king!

"Wonderful!"

Fan Chunli was enlightened and said.

There were only so many lords in Tubo and how many monks there were. If the Song Dynasty could rescue [-]% of the serfs, it would mean that [-]% of the Tubo people would support the Song Dynasty. Then wouldn't the originally unstable Tubo be instantly pacified? , let alone the worry-free rear in the third step of the great roundabout strategy, Tubo would even become the greatest support for the Song Dynasty to attack Dali.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The Song Dynasty not only wanted to save the bodies of the serfs, but also allocate land, cattle and sheep to the serfs so that they could become homesteaders and independent herdsmen, no longer attached to the lords and temples. They also wanted to save the minds of the serfs. Officials are not I personally ordered that the herdsmen be forgiven the consequences of their karma and the sins of their previous lives, so that they would no longer be under the control of the Tibetan monks."

All the officials nodded. The Tubo serf system was too cruel. As long as the serfs could be freed from the control of the lords and monks, they believed that no one would want to return to the life of serfs. At that time, the only thing they could rely on was the Song Dynasty court.

"Where did those lands, cattle and sheep come from?" Zhang Dun suddenly said in surprise. The Song Dynasty was already financially tight. If a large amount of money was allocated to rescue the serfs, it would probably make the Song Dynasty's finances even worse.

Fan Zheng paused, gritted his teeth and said, "Serfs have worked for the lord and the temple for generations. It's time to get some meager rewards."

"Meager reward!"

All the officials in the court couldn't help but take a breath. Fan Zheng's intention was very obvious, that is, let the serfs directly divide the cattle, sheep and land of the lord and the temple.

"Tubo was an experiment for the Song Dynasty to quickly pacify the occupied territories. If this method was effective, the Song Dynasty would have many new occupied territories in the future to meet the needs of the Song Dynasty's population explosion, which would be enough to expand the Song Dynasty's reach. , eat pots of pulp, and welcome the common people, which not only greatly increases the Song Dynasty's winning rate, but also quickly controls the area." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"This is an evil recipe!"

Zhang Dun was silent for a moment and said solemnly.

The officials also fell silent. They were all big landowners of the Song Dynasty. They were essentially no different from the big lords of Tubo and the monks and temples who owned the land. Fan Zheng suggested that the evil method to rescue the serfs might one day be applied to them. On the body.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "This is indeed an evil prescription, but it is more beneficial to the Song Dynasty. You all know clearly that the Song Dynasty is not very powerful, and Tubo is far away from the Song Dynasty. If Tubo rebels, the Song Dynasty will not be able to do anything at all." Without the ability or time to conduct a second campaign, the only way is to use this evil method to quickly pacify Tubo once and for all."

"But what about the interests of those Tubo lords?" Censor Yang Wei asked.

Fan Zheng's evil method of rescuing the serfs frightened him, and he couldn't help but defend the Tibetan lords.

Fan Zheng was silent for a moment and said: "First, these lords are the most likely source of rebellion in Tubo. They support the serfs to carve up the cattle, sheep and land of the lords and temples. On the one hand, they can weaken the lords and make the serfs return to their hearts. It kills two birds with one stone." Secondly, these lords are not from the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty has no obligation to protect their interests. Thirdly, in order to successfully complete the Song Dynasty's great detour strategy, the necessary sacrifices are worth it."

After Fan Zheng finished speaking, all the officials in the court were silent. From the standpoint of the landlords, they naturally did not want to use Fan Zheng's evil method to save the serfs. But from the standpoint of the Song Dynasty, they had to admit that this evil method must be used. The results would be immediate and the Song Dynasty would be able to firmly control Tubo. The benefits of this would be irresistible to the court.

Although Zhao Xu agreed with this method with both hands, he considered the reactions of the officials and immediately responded: "All of you dear friends have studied the books of saints diligently. The Tubo serfs are in such dire straits. Isn't it contrary to the benevolence of Confucius? We wait How can we turn a blind eye?"

All the officials in the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but wonder. They often claimed to value justice over profit, but now they faced the conflict between personal interests and national justice, and as a result, they were caught by the officials.

"The officials taught you a lesson! We agree with this method!"

All the officials agreed. As Fan Zheng said, the serfdom system is a deformation of the slavery system and has long been eliminated by the Chinese. Their move can be regarded as following the way of heaven and taking advantage of the trend to change Tubo from the serfdom system to the feudal system.

Not to mention, the Song Dynasty still had a great roundabout strategy to complete, and it was impossible to put too much energy on the barren Tubo Plateau.

At this moment, Fan Zheng's evil prescription was once again approved by the Manchu Dynasty.

When Zhao Xu saw this, he was overjoyed and said: "Preaching the decree to cultivate people, use the method of drawing lots from a golden vase in Tubo to select a new Zunsiluo, and at the same time support another Living Buddha in the Buddhist family. From now on, the reincarnation of Zunsiluo and the Living Buddha must be used Lots will be drawn from the golden urn and reported to Kaifeng before he can succeed to the throne. At the same time, all serfs will be rescued, their karma will be pardoned, and land, cattle and sheep will be allocated to them, so that they can become self-cultivators."

"Officials are kind."

All the officials praised him one after another.

All officials believed that once this method was adopted, Tubo would be quickly pacified, and by then the Song Dynasty would only have Dali as its target.

"According to the decree, the descendants of the Gao family in Dali have committed crimes against their superiors, using their ministers to force the emperor. They have forced several generations of Dali royal family to become monks. They are even more ambitious, seeking power and usurping the throne, and establishing themselves as emperors. As a member of the Chinese nation, how can I sit idly by and do nothing, causing Gao Shengtai to immediately Abdicate and return the throne and power to the Duan family." Zhao Xu said proudly.

Zhao Xu's move can be described as an awe-inspiring move. He is an emperor, so he naturally hates powerful ministers like Gao Shengtai. Not to mention that the Song Dynasty, as the suzerain state of Dali, can be said to be justified in standing up for him.

Not to mention that the young emperor's succession to the imperial power was also unstable in Goryeo. The Song Dynasty sent Tong Guan to open up the Silk Road and support the young emperor by the way, allowing the young emperor of Goryeo to completely secure the throne. This time, he can be regarded as a master. .

Fan Chunli, an honest man, frowned and said worriedly: "To the officials, it is said that Gao Shengtai is not in good health and has long wanted to abdicate. If he takes the initiative to abdicate, wouldn't it mean that we, the Song Dynasty, would be a disciple without a name?"

Fan Zheng on the side sneered: "Father is overly worried. Gao Shengtai has long been rebellious. He has just ascended the throne. If there is no external intervention, after his death, his son may support a Duan puppet emperor again and continue. To control the court, now that the Song Dynasty is actively interfering, the Gao family will definitely not dare to give up the throne and imperial power easily, otherwise with the support of the Song Dynasty, once the Duan family takes real power, it will be the end of the Gao family. "

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. The Gao family controlled the Dali court. No matter who became the emperor, it would not damage the Gao family's power. However, if the Song Dynasty took the initiative to intervene, the Duan family would really be able to control the real power. The Gao family would truly feel threatened, and naturally it would be even more unsafe. Will give up the throne easily.

"Furthermore, even if the Gao family takes the initiative to return the throne to the Duan family, they will be completely trapped. The Song Dynasty will take advantage of the trend to pursue the Gao family for the crime of rebellion. If the Gao family loses imperial power and loses military power, then the Gao family will undoubtedly die." Fan Zheng said seriously. Pumping the fist.

In this way, the Gao family, the powerful ministers of Dali, will fall into the trap of the Song Dynasty regardless of whether they abdicate or not. In this war, Dali will be trapped internally and externally. At the same time, it will also face attacks from both sides by Tubo and Sichuan. The roundabout strategy of going south will be completed smoothly.

All the officials couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Fortunately, the evil doctor Fan Zheng belonged to the Song Dynasty. If he had used all kinds of evil prescriptions on the Song Dynasty in other countries, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty would also be poisoned by him.

The meeting is over.

Decisions related to the imperial court were immediately sent to the Tubo Plateau at high speed. It was already half a month later when Zhongpu received the decree from the imperial court.

"General! How many more troops are the imperial court planning to send this time?" Yao Xiong said impatiently.

Last time Qingtang was unstable, they asked the court for help. The court finally sent [-] construction corps to cooperate with the Qingtang defenders. This stabilized the situation. This time, the area of ​​the Tubo Plateau was several times larger than Qingtang. The court had to send at least Come to [-] construction corps, no! Even a hundred thousand construction corps may be able to deter the situation.

Zhong Pu looked at the court's decree and said solemnly: "The court has decided not to send a single soldier here for the time being."

"What?" Yao Xiong couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although they directly killed Xibawen and his son and eliminated the biggest resister in Tubo, the Song army was an outsider in Tubo after all, and all they could control was Luosou City and other larger cities.

Although the Song army was powerful, it went deep alone. Yao Xiong always felt that Tubo was in danger and was cautious at all times.

Zhong Pu continued: "Not only did the imperial court not send troops to come, but they also asked me to wait until spring and cooperate with Sichuan and Shu to divide our troops to attack Dali."

"Which fool came up with this idea? Does this want our Song army to be wiped out?" Yao Xiong cursed immediately after hearing this.

The Song army is already unstable on the Tubo Plateau, and if it divides half of its troops to attack Dali, I am afraid that all the Tibetan tribes that have just surrendered will rebel. By then, the Song army, with few soldiers and few generals, will face a situation of being besieged on all sides.

"This is the strategy proposed by the evil doctor Fan Zheng!" Zhong Pu said.

"Uh! The general must be teasing the subordinates and transforming the soldiers into a construction corps. This is the strategy of the evil doctor Fan Zheng." Yao Xiong didn't believe it.

The Construction Corps is Fan Zheng's proud work. In addition, Fan Zheng's evil methods have always had immediate results. How could he not see the possible crisis in Tubo.

"It was Fan Taicheng who saw the crisis in Tubo, so he thought of another evil method, which could allow the Song army to control Tubo even without sending a single soldier."

Zhong Pu stopped teasing Yao Xiong and handed over his will to Yao Xiong.

"How is this possible?" Yao Xiong didn't believe it at all. However, when he took the decree in his hand and looked at it carefully, his eyes widened.

"Supporting two living Buddhas and rescuing the serfs is indeed the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng! Yao accepted it!"

Yao Xiong immediately praised him.

As a general, he naturally did not care about politics. From a military point of view, if the Song Dynasty could bring [-]% of the serfs back, let alone leaving half of the Song army to guard it, even if all the Song army went out to fight, Tubo would still sit back and relax, and they would even be able to Tubo recruited many soldiers to go on an expedition.

"Come here, please invite the eminent monks from the Jokhang Temple, and at the same time give orders to all the Tubo lords. The imperial court has sent orders for them to come to the city to receive rewards!" Zhong Pu immediately ordered.

The Jokhang Temple enshrines a twelve-year-old statue of Sakyamuni that Princess Wencheng brought from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. It has always been relatively close to the Han people. In addition, the Jokhang Temple today is not the leader of Tubo Buddhism, but it has a certain influence. Strength is the best choice for the Song Dynasty to support living Buddhas. (End of chapter)
