() The news that Luoxie City was breached and Aligu was captured alive spread like wind across the Tubo Plateau.At this time, Song Qing and Zhu Wu had already led an army to surround the Tubo army on the border.

When they heard that Luoxie City was occupied by the Liangshan army and the leader was captured alive, everyone lost their fighting spirit. After being besieged for two days, under the powerful threat of Liangshan artillery, they finally chose to surrender.

On the other hand, the Medog defenders, who were trying to resist, finally put down their weapons and surrendered to the Liangshan troops under Guan Shengyi's artillery fire.

It is indeed unexpected that the battle of Tubo will end in this way.

This victory can be said to be inseparable from factors such as Song Qing's strategizing, Liangshan soldiers' bravery, sharp firearms, and finally Yue Fei's long-distance raid.

Victory on the battlefield does not mean that the occupation of Tubo has been completed, there is still a lot of meticulous work to be done!

The first is the placement of these hundreds of thousands of captives. It is unrealistic to let them all be disarmed and returned to the fields. Song and Qing have no appetite for all of them.

Another urgent issue is the issue of ethnicity and religion. If Zhuopuba was alive, it might be easier, or if he died in another place, Song Qing would not be scratching his head like this.

Before Liangshan, Tubo had always practiced slavery. Some nobles, tribal leaders, and even many living Buddhas had a group of slaves.In their view, this is perfectly normal, but under the Liangshan regime, this is absolutely unacceptable.

The existence of slavery is bound to seriously restrict the development of society, but this system has been practiced in Tubo for thousands of years. If it is broken at once, it will easily cause a collective reaction from the Tubo nobles, so this issue must be treated with caution.

Under Liangshan's military power, some living Buddhas have rushed to Liangshan camp one after another.

After Song Qingxian ordered people to settle them, he did not meet with them immediately, but pulled Zhu Wu to study how to govern Tubo.

The area of ​​Tubo is several times that of Xixia, and when it was in the Han Dynasty, it did not belong to the Central Plains Dynasty, so it is even more difficult to govern. It must have a wise and brave person.

In fact, Song and Qing are most interested in Zhu Wu, but Xiliang is equally important. It is an important passage connecting the Western Regions and Mongolia. If Zhu Wu is not there, how can Song Qing rest assured?

After much deliberation, Song Qing decided to talk to Zhu Wu first.

It seemed that he had already guessed why Song Qing was bothered, so after saying a few gossips, Zhu Wu said with a smile: "Who is Qiantui worrying about guarding Tubo?"

Song Qing couldn't help sighing and said: "My brother knows me! Looking at my brothers in Liangshan, all of them are brave, but when it comes to governing the region, I really can't think of anyone else except my brother. Brother Wu Yong It's a temporary candidate, but he's too old, and his health hasn't been very good in the past two years, so I really don't know who to send here."

Zhu Wu was moved in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "I have someone to choose, but I don't know if Qiantui dares to use it?"

Song Qing couldn't help laughing, and said: "It must be extraordinary to be admired by you, why would I dare not use it? Tell me! Who is he?"

"Uncle Zhang Ye"

It turned out to be him?This guy is a loyal member of Song Dynasty, how could Zhu Wu recommend him to him?

Facing Song Qing's suspicious eyes, Zhu Wudao: "Zhang Shuye is a great talent. I have dealt with him when I was in Liangshan. I know Qiantui's concerns, but at this moment and at that moment, as long as there is a slight Anyone with knowledge can see Zhao Song's end, and it can be said that this end is entirely their own fault, and I, Liangshan, just took advantage of the situation."

"I have learned from others that he has stayed in Dengzhou these years, and he seems to be very leisurely, but he is also paying attention to the situation all the time. Qiantui's collection of Yanyun, Pojindu, Pingxixia, and Dingshuzhong are not beneficial. The one who promotes the national prestige of my great Han? His impression of Chitose has long since changed."

"As Chitose said, my brother Liangshan killed the enemy on the battlefield, all of which are unambiguous, but when it comes to governing the region, it is really far behind, so I boldly recommend Zhang Shuye to serve in Tubo, and at the same time he will be supplemented by a general. The military power is always in the hands of Chitose, even if he has ideas, it is useless."

Zhu Wu's words can be said to be selfless. The area of ​​Tubo is almost as large as the Central Plains, and as long as he asks, Song Qing will definitely give him such a large area to manage, but he just recommended someone else, and he is a former friend. Liangshan is the enemy.

People who talk about loyalty every day may not be really loyal, but Zhu Wu used his actual actions to prove his utter loyalty to Song Qing.

When it comes to the relationship between Song Qing and Zhu Wu, some words need not be said.

Song Qing pondered for a moment, finally nodded and said: "Wen You Zhang Shuye, the general sent Qin Ming!"

"Qiantui is wise, but I don't know how Qiantui plans to deal with these Tubo soldiers?"

"Just now I thought about it. The Tubo army of Medog here is no less than 30. If they are all abolished, it will inevitably form a new hidden danger, so I plan to abolish the old and weak among them, and then disperse them to Yue Fei, The subordinates of Lin Chong and Han Shizhong. At the same time, [-] troops were drawn from the armies of Yue Fei and Guan Sheng, and stationed in the Luoxie area."

"Of course, this is just a stopgap measure. After we have established a firm foothold in Tubo, we can recruit recruits from the next generation of Tubo, and take turns defending against soldiers from the three sides. Calculated in this way, I believe that within ten years, we will be able to completely Erase the shadow of the Tubo army"

In fact, Song Qing didn't tell Zhu Wu about the hidden worries about slavery in his heart. He planned to have a good talk with Zhang Shuye when he arrived and listen to Zhang Shuye's thoughts.

Luoxie City is the Lhasa of later generations. If Song Qing didn't bring her son with her, she would really like to visit the Potala Palace!He has not been there in later generations.

Because Yue Fei captured Ali Gu alive, his conspiracy to get rid of Zhuo Puba under the guise of Song Qing's hands was finally made public.

After knowing the truth of the matter, more living Buddhas rushed to Song Qing's camp, nothing else, they all knew that the prince favored Buddha, so they all wanted to get the most benefits from Song Qing.

Song Qing did not disappoint them, and reiterated his purpose of respecting their beliefs and not interfering with their Buddhist affairs. In addition, Song Qing also promised to build a Buddhist temple in the old place of Tubo, and Luoyang would be directly responsible for supporting them.

Hearing this news, the Living Buddhas were all overjoyed, but soon they couldn't laugh because Song Qing also raised the knife in his hand.

The Song and Qing Dynasties required them to first not interfere with local affairs, second, not to raise serfs, third, common people could believe in Buddhism, but they were not allowed to become monks casually, and the last one was even more ruthless, that is, they were required to release the existing serfs and restore them to normal life. the identity of the people.The food, clothing, housing and transportation of these serfs were temporarily provided by the government.

After these few articles were announced, all Buddhas were dumbfounded.This Liang Wang is too ruthless?Although he promised that Luoyang would support them, would he be able to have a large number of slaves with himself, call them around, and be supported by believers at ease?

A fat monk with a red face immediately stood up and objected.

He bowed his palms together and said: "Thousands of years' words are wrong. Favoring Buddha and believing in Buddha are all voluntary believers, and Buddhism is so vast that everyone in the world is my Buddha's disciple. How can we forcefully reject him? Please, my lord." take it back"

Song Qing listened to him with a smile, and then said: "What is a real Buddha? Why does the master believe in Buddha?"

Many Tubo people were born, and their family members made a wish to pamper the Buddha in front of the Buddha statue until they grew up and officially became Buddhist believers.

In the hearts of the Tibetans, all this is normal and justified.No one had ever asked them that before.

So Song Qing's words stopped the fat monk. He opened his mouth and said for a long time: "Saving the world from the sea of ​​suffering and making all beings equal is the true meaning of my Buddha. This master has been working hard in this direction. What's the point?" Isn't it right?"

"This king has always firmly believed that the great wish of the Buddha is to save the world, so that the world will not be tortured by suffering, and finally achieve the equality of all living beings, but does the master think that all living beings are really equal? ​​Are the slaves in your temple also sent by the Buddha to practice? "

"This,,"

When it comes to discussing Buddhist scriptures and Zen techniques, the ten Song and Qing dynasties are no match for the Great Monk, but Song Qingjian took the lead. Looking at this matter from a Lingering point of view, the Great Monk was immediately questioned.

"This king knows that there is a great master who never lives in famous mountains and ancient temples, never preaches scriptures to people, and never asks for alms, but he has countless disciples. Do living Buddhas know why?"

"The master said that the Buddhist scriptures were annotated by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. If there are more explanations, they will become more fragmented. If others say it, it is not as good as an idiot's dream. The master also said that there are many factors in this world that can disturb his pure cultivation. How can you become a Buddha if you don’t plow to eat, don’t weave to make clothes, and just wait for others to provide for you?”

Song Qing had actually heard this story before, and he didn't want to embrace Buddhism temporarily, and wanted to educate these great monks through this story.

And if this story was told from other people's mouths, these Buddhas would not have the patience to listen to it.But after Song Qing finished speaking, none of these monks spoke.

It's not that he agreed with Song Qing's will, but he couldn't think of any words to refute Song Qing.No one dared to say that he became a monk to study Buddhism carefully in order to be worshiped by thousands of people, and he could recruit slaves and be supported by others.

Because once such words are spread, his reputation is bound to plummet, and there is no need to pretend to be a Living Buddha anymore.

There was only so much ink in Song Qing's belly, seeing that they were shocked, he immediately started to finish.

He said earnestly and earnestly: "Masters, I just said that I will build a temple for you, and all the support will be borne by me. You just need to study Buddhism with peace of mind. Isn't that great? Why bother with those mundane affairs? "

After a pause, he continued: "Tubo will only be the name of a nation in the future, and will no longer exist as a country. This king will soon send officials to Luoxie City. This king here promises to you that we will treat Han and Tubo The people of the two ethnic groups will treat each other equally and will never deviate from each other, but if someone deliberately disobeys the order of the king and destroys the peace between the Han and Tu ethnic groups, the sword in the hand of the king will never agree."

Although Song Qing's last words were spoken slowly, they were loud and murderous.
