Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 187

Liang Jianfang, the general of the right guard, pondered: "That is to say, to prevent Tubo from going down the mountain, Songzhou, Kunmi, Tuyuhun, and Khotan all have to be blocked? It's really troublesome, why don't you choose to go directly up?"

Liang Jianfang's name is not biographyed separately in Tang history, but he is also a rare heroic general.

In the Battle of Luoyang that year, Yuchi Jingde attacked forcefully, Liang Jianfang and Gao Zengsheng were assisted, and Wang Wan was captured alive.

To be able to be the support of a brave general like Yuchi Jingde, Liang Jianfang's force would at least not be much weaker than Cheng Yaojin.

At that time, Gao Zengsheng, who was traveling with him, mixed up with the governor of Lizhou. When he was fighting Tuyuhun, he was the marching officer of Yanze Road. He was punished by Li Jing for delaying the schedule. He was not convinced and accused Li Jing of treason. was exiled.

Li Jing said that he would not be sick, but in fact it was the same as his reaction to impeachment when he came back from the Turkic war.

The master of high meritorious service just happens to have impeachment as a step down.

Fan Zheng replied: "Because Tubo is located on a high plateau, there is a huge gap. The soldiers from the Central Plains will go immediately, and they will easily get sick, dizzy, and vomit. In severe cases, they may die. Well, you can think about why there are mountains in Tuyuhun that make Han cry. .”

The name of this mountain must have an insulting meaning, but the meaning expressed by others is also very clear. The mountain is too high, and the Han people must not be used to it!

Even under the conditions of later generations, people on the plateau are still not completely exempt from high altitude sickness, and occasionally die due to altitude sickness.

In Datang, without sufficient conditions to support, the casualties must be not small, even exceeding the battle damage.

Because Niu Jinda easily won in Songzhou, the generals underestimated the ferocity of Tubo.

Fan Zheng solemnly reminded: "It is only because Tubo was founded not long ago that the style of play has not been improved in time. The victory in Songzhou was also due to General Niu Jinda's night attack. It must not be underestimated!"

"Each military unit in Tubo is Dongdai, with thousands to tens of thousands of people. The chief is Dongben. The official sergeant is called Gui; under each Gui there is a group of slave soldiers called Yong."

"Because of the harsh living environment, Tibetans are tough by nature and respect warriors. All those who escape must wear a fox tail on their heads and be pointed at by their neighbors."

"Tubo is unique in smelting and medicine, and its weapons are not bad."

The most important point is the Tuyuhun, Kunmi and other barriers. Because of the vast land and sparse population, high mountains and dense forests, Datang really didn't work hard to control them.

To the Southwest and other places, the attitude of the entire Tang Dynasty, with its nostrils turned to the sky, looks down on it!
Tsk, I don't know where they got the confidence. They would rather expand to the west of the Western Regions than take a closer look at Yunnan and Guizhou.

"I think that the Great Tang is biased towards the southwest direction. Besides, the copper and iron mines near Kunmi Kingdom are rich enough for the Great Tang Shaofu Supervisor to build a few more stoves."

Of course, shipping is a big problem.

Don't Wumeng Mountain, Ailao Mountain, and Wuliang Mountain all have a lot of copper and iron?

It's a pity that the mines in Wumeng Mountain, taking the largest Tangdan mine as an example, that road, even Wumeng's legs tremble immediately, and the slope is prohibitive.

So, even if Tangdan Mine belongs to Tangxing County, Tangxing County belongs to Quzhou, and Quzhou is an economic state, so what?
Zhuti County, the prefecture of Quzhou, is 330 miles away from Chang'an. There are a total of 94 households in the two counties of the prefecture.

Don't you think it's unusual?
This is equivalent to saying that Zhaoyang District of Zhaotong, with a permanent population of more than 5000 and a rural population of more than [-], together with Dongchuan, had only [-] people in the Tang Dynasty.

Is it possible?
There is only one reason. For the local Wuman, the government is unable to control them, and naturally they cannot register their households.

Don't listen to the bragging in the history class, how excellent the national strategy of Datang is, don't look at the advertisements, just look at the curative effect.

Juzhou retreated from Jingzhi Prefecture to Jimi Prefecture, and the Mengshezhao in the Erhai area of ​​Jimi suddenly emerged. What is the reason?
Was it true that all parts of Nanning Prefecture, which were determined by Duan Lun's propaganda, were naturally rebellious?
The Tang Dynasty shifted its focus to the Western Regions, striving for the Silk Road with all its strength, and neglected the Wuman and Baiman in various places. If you don't care about it yourself, don't blame others for taking it.

The officials do not understand the local customs, and they always act like a domineering, and then the southwesterners who are originally bad-tempered will inevitably get into trouble.

The method of governance is to give kindness and strength together.

Liang Jianfang asked Ying: "Since this is the case, take the Kunmi country! I am willing to be a pioneer and take the Kunmi country!"

"Kunmi Kingdom has a total of more than [-] households and tens of thousands of soldiers. There are more than a hundred tribes whose surnames are Yang, Li, Zhao, and Dong.

"Near the Xi'er River, the Baiman, Wuman, and Huama countries are mostly ethnic groups separated from the ancient Ailao country, and local taboos must be taken into account."

"It's like when the lower official went to Bizhou to investigate the rebellion of Liao people. It turned out that the governor deliberately invited Liaoren to eat dog meat. This is precisely what Liaoren hates the most. Can you not oppose it?"

"Regarding this matter, I would also like to ask Your Majesty to order the Ministry of Civil Affairs to preside over the collection of taboos of all ethnic groups in various places, print them into books, and distribute them to all ministries, prefectures, and county yamen, as well as all government offices and guards. Every newcomer to the yamen must read it One time, clear in the chest."

Li Shimin stood up: "Does the man from Jianguo County in Huarong mean to bow his head to all ethnic groups?"

Fan Zheng shook his head lightly: "No such intention at all! The purpose of my minister is to reduce unnecessary friction between the officials and the people. Liao people don't eat dog meat, and they won't forcefully rush into Han people's gathering places to force Han people not to eat dog meat. Don't let the hunters eat dog meat, at most, just be careful not to eat dog meat in front of others."

Li Shimin's eyes brightened: "What if someone insists not to eat dog meat?"

Fan Zheng chuckled, "All the local officials and superiors are dismissed."

Ok?
Cheng Yaojin slapped his legs and laughed loudly: "Baby, there is something! Go to old Cheng's house to eat beef some other day!"

Wu Heikai laughed and said, "That's right, he only corrupted a pot of diliang wine from the servant Yushi in the palace yesterday!"

Cheng Yaojin smiled complacently: "Is that called falsehood? That's what he willingly accepted."

Wu Heikai revealed the shortcoming: "It's true that Zhang Xingcheng promised one jar, but you snatched two jars by the way."

"Can a robbery be called robbery? That's borrowing! You forget your origin!" Cheng Yaojin pointed at Wu Heitai, black and white reversed extremely smoothly.

Even Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

This is very Cheng Yaojin.

Thinking about it carefully, Fan Zheng's last sentence made sense. If you can't control this, why do officials eat?

"What do the three provinces think, what is the opinion of the men in Huarong Jianguo County?" Li Shimin asked.

"I think it is feasible to order the Ministry of Civil Affairs to collect and sort out the taboos of various ethnic groups, publish them in a book, and then distribute them to the yamen, government offices, and guards!" Wei Zheng, a servant under the door, nodded.

"The old minister thinks, is it causing trouble for Tubo, and the same as Dayang..." Yang Shidao's words stopped abruptly.

Obviously, he also thought about the road problem.

Fang Xuanling thought about it for a while: "It's hard to decide. Whether the Tang Dynasty will move westward or take care of the southwest will require a lot of manpower and financial resources. I need to think carefully."

Fang Mou is decisive, Fang Xuanling has many ideas, but it is easy to get stuck in the choice.

Gao Shilian nodded: "The old man thinks, on the southwest side, you might as well take a piece of land and let people have a try."
