Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 422 Big Search
In October, search (sōu) in Kunming Lake.

The term Dasou, found in "Spring and Autumn", refers to the military parade every five years.

Of course, five years is only an approximate time, not so precise.

The "Old Tang Book" records that there were two big searches in the Zhenguan Dynasty.

In the first month of the fifth year of Zhenguan, a great search was made in Kunming Lake, and the ruler of the barbarians followed;

In March of the 11th year of Zhenguan, fortunately, Luoyang Palace was searched in Guangchengze, Ruzhou.

The significance of Dasou is to deter the barbarians, let them weigh the gap in strength between themselves and Datang, and avoid unnecessary disputes.

As for the real peace of the border state, it depends on the soldiers fighting on the battlefield.

Those who can fight, dare to fight, and must fight if they provoke, naturally, there are fewer and fewer Fanbangs who dare to be hostile to Datang.

Leaning on one mouth every day and yelling, learn about Liu Zongyuan's "The Donkey of Guizhou".

Even if it is to keep the knife and hide the front, there must be a time when it is drawn out of the sheath.

Ashnadur led a [-] Kunshan Taoist army to expedition to the Western Regions. It is estimated that some people think that the elites of the Tang Dynasty have come out, and they can do it themselves.

Tubo sent the former imperial minister Thonmi Sangbuza to meet him, and he was very respectful.

Don't think that Tubo will be at ease when Lunqiongpo Bangse broke the dome and silver castle of the capital city of Yangtung and captured Nie Xu and Li Mixia alive.

The remnants of Dayangtong still exist in difficult and dangerous places, there are still rebellions everywhere in the land that was brought into Tubo, and calls for restoration of the country are still coming and going-this shows that Li Mixia's prestige in Dayangtong is not low.

A more vivid metaphor is that a giant python swallows an elephant. After eating it, it is still very difficult to digest.

Zanpu Songtsan Gampo understood that it would take time to digest a big sheep who was almost the same size as the original Tubo, so it was better not to provoke the grumpy old man.

There must be someone to take the blame for the wild horse station.

Brother-in-law Murong Nuohebo, it's you!

Sooner or later, Tubo will destroy you!

Murong Nuohebo burst into tears: Why is it always me who gets hurt?
Tuyuhun's new servant, Yifu Maha, wore a brocade robe, and deliberately straightened his body in front of the Tang emperor.

"Young general Yifumaha? I have heard of you. Although you have failed, you are still very heroic."

Li Shimin patted Yifu Maha's shoulder heavily twice.

Tuyuhun was not as tough as Tubo, and even if he went back to Murong Fuyun's time, he was not fully sure that he could win in battle.

This is also an objective law. The worse the living conditions are, the tougher the people will be.

Because those who are not tough enough have long been eliminated by nature.

Tuyuhun's crossing of Tanggula Mountain was originally an away game. Tubo's natural conditions were more difficult than Tuyuhun's, and the defeat was a matter of course. In fact, Yifumaha's vanguard and the commander of this battle did not make any technical mistakes.

Yifu Maha showed a shy smile on his cheeks cut a little by the wind and frost.

Li Shimin stood in front of a female chief, and summoned Fan Zheng who was on the side: "I'll leave it to you."

The young female chief wears a round flat-topped flower hat, a red-collared gown, a small waist tied with a red background ribbon, the sleeves are as long as the wrist, and the thin bracelets are shining in the sun. The silver earrings and silver collars are exquisitely designed. The birds and animals are lifelike.

What's worse is that the female chief stared at Fan Zheng with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and her pink face was tinged with embarrassment.

Fan Zheng thought about it carefully, he probably didn't make any mistakes in this area, didn't have any bad relationship with others, and no one would sing "Aye is a family, Aniang is a family", right?

"You Mian?" Looking at the clothes, Fan Zheng hesitated.

"Soup soup." The female chief jumped up, her silver jewelry swayed, her eyes were like crescent moons.

Fan Zheng quickly recalled: "Bizhou, Pan Ying'er. Ah, they have grown so big."

In fact, it's not too big, but Liao people's standard for calculating adulthood is different from that of Tang Dynasty, so Pan Ying'er stands out as a middle-aged woman.

Liao people have always been relatively lenient when it comes to the gender of the leader, and whoever has the ability will go up.

Li Shimin asked Fan Zheng to greet Pan Ying'er, and it was also targeted. Fan Zheng's prestige among the bureaucrats in Bizhou was indeed unmatched, even Shangguan Huairen, who led troops to sweep the bureaucrats in Bizhou, could not catch up.

The king of Linyi, Fan Zhenlong, was murdered by the rebellious minister Mahamandaga alone, and his family was exterminated. The people of Linyi made the son-in-law of Fan Touli and the younger sister-in-law of Fan Zhenlong Brahman kings, and presented two tamed elephants as tribute.

Huge animals like elephants cannot be raised with two swords like the Shanglin Department and the Goudun Department of the Sinong Temple. The Stable Department of the Taipu Temple has special personnel to raise them. The circumference is three feet in diameter.

Three buckets of rice and bean are provided daily, and one liter of salt is provided. In winter, sheepskins and old felt are used to make clothes for elephants.

In the Tuohuan Kingdom, on the island southwest of Linyi, the head of the country, Chashili Pomapona, sent an envoy to send a white parrot, asking for a horse breed and a bronze bell.

In the country of Heling, in the sea to the south, he eats food with his hands, and sends envoys to send the pinga birds.

Pinga bird is a wonderful sound bird in Buddhist classics. Buddhism calls it Jialing Pinga. Its image is a bird with a human head. It also has this image in Dunhuang murals and bronze mirrors in the Tang Dynasty.

Xie Yuanshen, leader of East Xieman and governor of Yingzhou, Xie Qiang, leader of South Xieman and governor of Zhuangzhou, and Xie Longyu, leader of Zangman and governor of Zangzhou, sent envoys to congratulate them.

Zhao Mo, the leader of the Western Zhao Man, wore a shirt and jacket with wide-mouthed trousers, a slanted belt, and a leopard leather jacket and leather shoes. Grace."

Li Shimin was overjoyed.

Hehe, Aye, did you see, Erlang made a big search, and the Xizhao man returned to Tang!
"Quite! The three provinces and the Ministry of Officials will handle it immediately. It is proposed that the West Zhaoman will be Mingzhou, Zhao Mo will be the governor, and there will be no hereditary replacement."

I am a cow!
The Zhu family, the leader of the Nanping Liao, has more than [-] households. Please enclose, and the land is attached to Yuzhou.

Dongnu state guest (queen) sent Gaoba (female official) from the Tang Pang family to lead the eight kingdoms of Xishan to pay tribute.

Among several official histories, the "Old Tang Book" is relatively accurate in its description of Dongnvguo, but there are also some incomprehensible points.

According to the description, Dongnvguo is located in the west of Sichuan, and "the writing is the same as Tianzhu", which is quite confusing, and it is not bordering.

"It is customary for every tenth month to make the sorcerer go to the mountain, scatter the bad wheat in the sky, and curse the bird. In Russia, there are birds like chickens that fly into the sorcerer's arms. It must be climbed next year, if there is frost and snow, there will be many disasters."

There is frost and snow in the belly of a live bird. Is this a live refrigerator?
The mighty and domineering government soldiers, the Yueqi and the infantry regiment showed their fierce attacking ability in the big horn song.

It is natural for Yueqi to be ferocious, but the real trump card of the Tang Dynasty is the infantry regiment. When there are many wooden spears, who can take advantage of them?
On the Kunming Lake, a small number of sailors also braved the wind and waves. The buildings and ships were huge, and they rushed forward quickly.

There is no way, the ships of this era are just like that, the Tang Dynasty's big boats are the overlords on the water, and the sea kingdoms such as Tuohuan Kingdom and Heling Kingdom do not have such huge ships, and the risk of going to sea is still extremely high.

Walking, riding, and boating, Datang is invincible all around!
