Chapter 429 The Woman and the Booty
Chapter 438 The Woman and the Booty

Zhang Xuan lived in the Tubo Palace. Although this towering Tubo-style building is also a tall and majestic building complex, it is far inferior to the palaces of the Central Plains Dynasty in terms of exquisiteness and cultural atmosphere.

There are nearly a thousand concubines, maids and servants of the Tubo king in the Tubo palace, and they are all guarded by Li Siye's soldiers now.

The former kings of Tubo, including the wives, concubines and children of Chisong Dezan, were almost all slaughtered by Stanley. Today, most of the palaces are women and children of Stanley.In other words, there were not many royal families in the direct line of Tubo left.

Stanley has two sons and three daughters. The oldest son is [-] or [-] years old, and the youngest daughter is only [-] or [-] years old.

Zhang Xuan sat high on the throne that originally belonged to the king of Tubo, staring at the children, wives and concubines of Stanley who knelt down on the ground.

How to deal with these people, Li Siye had no choice but to wait for the emperor himself to adjudicate.

According to the general logic, all the children of Stanley should be executed to eliminate future troubles, while the women of Stanley chose young and beautiful ones as trophies to enrich the harem of the emperor Zhang Xuan.

And Guo Ziyi and Li Siye did arrange according to this way of thinking.The young and beautiful ones are registered in a single row and kneel on one side; while the old and pearly ones who have given birth kneel on the other side.

Zhang Xuan got up slowly, looked down at Stanley's two sons and three daughters, slowly raised his hand, slightly hesitant.

It's very difficult to do this, but—if you don't do this ruthlessly, and you have the benevolence of a woman, then there will be serious troubles in the future.Even if Zhang Xuan doesn't consider his own imperial power, he must also consider future generations and the court's long-term rule over Tubo.

The Tubo royal family is immortal, and the resistance of the Tubo people will come one after another in the future.

As if they knew that it was difficult for them to survive, Stanley's two sons, although they were only in their teens, stared fiercely at Zhang Xuan and gritted their teeth.And even the three little Tubo princesses were glaring at Zhang Xuan.The toughness and brutality of the Tubo people in this era are vividly reflected in the children of Stanley.

The fierce eyes of Stanley's two sons projected over, making Zhang Xuan's last bit of unbearable and pity vanish in an instant.

He smiled lightly, waved his hand abruptly and said, "Li Siye, take them down!"

Li Siye complied generously and ordered people to take Stanley's children with him.These children didn't cry or make trouble. While being dragged out, their hatred eyes were like knives, wishing to cut Zhang Xuan into pieces.

Zhang Xuan was silent.

At this moment, his heart was hardened.He would rather be a murderer once than leave troubles for future generations.Incorporating the entire Tubo into the territory and returning to the rule of the imperial court, how could such a huge change be possible without bloodshed.

Zhang Xuan cast his eyes on Duo Lang, the last Prime Minister of Tubo, who was standing there with his head bowed. When he saw Zhang Xuan looking at him, he couldn't help but kneel down in fear, "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, these beautiful women are all dedicated to His Majesty. All the gold and silver treasures in the palace have been sealed up by Duo Lang, and they are all handed over to Duke Guo Ling. Please accept them with a smile."

Dolan walked over on his knees and smiled humbly, "Dolan is willing to be His Majesty's loyal servant, and will always be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live my emperor!"

Zhang Xuan glanced at the group of beautiful Tubo women.He knew in his heart that among them were the concubines of Stanley, and the beauties carefully selected by Duolang from the rich and powerful families in Luoxi City, with extraordinary identities.

Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment.After the destruction of Tubo, accepting the women of the Tubo king into the palace has nothing to do with the emperor's lust. .

Among the four major families in Tubo, they all selected and dispatched their own women.These Tibetan aristocrats may not really take refuge in the Chinese Dynasty, but with a knife on their necks, it will not work if they do not take refuge or pledge allegiance.

Guo Ziyi is ready and ready to send someone to escort the huge wealth of the Tubo palace and many women back to Luoyang, the capital of China. This is the emperor's spoils of war, representing the supreme emperor's authority and powerful national and military strength.

Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind.

What should be collected must be collected, and there is no need to procrastinate.

"Doran!"

"The slave is here!" Duo Lang quickly knelt on the ground and said.

"Speak to the nobles of Tubo, just say that I have captured Tubo and destroyed the Tubo royal family, then this Tubo land will belong to me, and from then on, there will be no Tubo country!" Zhang Xuan's voice was clear but majestic and inviolable.

Dolan hurriedly said yes again and again.

"I divided Tubo into two and set up two roads. Qinghai Road in the northwest and Pingkang Road in the southeast. Some cities were changed to Shenwu City. There was a governor in the road, and under the road, each prefecture and county was set up according to the etiquette system of the Central Plains. Inspectors and county magistrates, for ten years, a unified military and political system will be temporarily implemented, and officials at all levels will be appointed by the imperial court to govern."

"My decree: from now on, no nobles in the two provinces of Tubo are allowed to privately set up courts, raise family soldiers, and the number of servants is regulated. The imperial court will set up the Pingkang Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Shenwu City to lead the imperial court troops. "

"I will pass on my decree again: from now on, all the slaves under the name of the nobles in Tubo, who accept the education of the imperial court, will be expelled and turned into civilians, and will be distributed to the land for cattle and sheep pastures."

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, Duo Lang's face changed suddenly.

It is understandable to set up roads, prefectures, and counties in Tubo and imitate the governance of the Central Plains. Duo Lang has long been aware of it.Tubo has already perished, what else can we expect?
But Zhang Xuan's last "edict to liberate the serfs" directly hit Duo Lang's weakness.The number of slaves owned by the Tubo nobles has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. If the Chinese emperor forcibly turns these people into civilians and lures them to obey the governance of the Chinese court, it will not only take away the privileges of the Tubo nobles, but also directly shake the The root of the Tibetan race.

For most low-level slaves, the Chinese emperor, who provided food, planted land, grazing cattle and sheep, and granted civilian status, was far more tolerable and worthy of following than the princes and lords of his own clan.

Tian Kexin, the general of the Western Expedition Army who stood aside and listened silently, had a smile on his face behind the veil.Draining the fire from the bottom of the pot pushed the Tubo nobles to the abyss of extinction.

"Duo Lang, what do you think?" Zhang Xuan said lightly.

Dolan let out a long breath, and said in a trembling voice, "The slave obeys the order!"

It is very difficult for Duolang to say these four words. He is also one of the largest slave owners. There are at least thousands of serfs in the mansion. If the Emperor of China issues this edict, these lowly slaves under his name will be divided among him. Property and land cattle and sheep.

Zhang Xuan laughed loudly.

"You go back now. When I greet the Tubo nobles, as long as they don't cause trouble and support the imperial government's decrees, I will never kill them lightly. But if anyone dares to quarrel with me, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic .”

"Yes, yes, yes, the servant obeys the order!" Dolan kowtowed repeatedly, and walked backwards.

"Ziyi, write back to the imperial court, ordering Chen Xilie and Zhang Xun to immediately arrange for immigrants to enter Tibet. Kang Dao has been farming for three years, and I have pardoned them all."

"At the same time, let Chen Xilie immediately preside over the establishment of Enke in Zhongjing, and select talents to be sent to Qinghai Road and Pingkang Road as officials."

"Yang Lian!"

"The minister is here!" Yang Lian hurried out of the class and said.

"Yang Lian, I canonized you as Marquis of Pingkang, Governor of Pingkang Road and Governor of Pingkang, Chief of Pingkang's Qinghai March, commanding [-] soldiers and horses, and guarding Shenwu City. Your task is to guard this vast land for me. The land, I give you the right to kill first and then play. I will order the three towns of Hexi, Jiannan, and Longshuo to support you." Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, "You have a great responsibility, and I hope you will not let me down!"

Yang Lian was overjoyed.The emperor handed over all the military and political power of the newly occupied Tubo Kingdom to him. What kind of trust and value is this.

He knelt down on the ground with tears of gratitude, and said with emotion, "Your Majesty Long En, I swear to die to repay you!"

Zhang Xuan smiled, turned his head to look at Guli Pei Luo, and said lightly, "Huihe helped in the war and helped me destroy the Tibetans. I have done a lot. I have designated the grassland with a radius of 500 miles in Naqu as the territory of Huihe, where Huihe can set up their own territory. The prefectures and counties set up their own soldiers and horses, and the production comes from self-sufficiency. They are not subject to the restraint of Pingkang Dao and Pingkang Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and go directly to the court."

Gu Li Pei Luo was overjoyed, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Su Hudong, who was standing on the side, was also happy, and glanced at Zhang Xuan with tender eyes.

In the land of Huihe Mobei, the land is barren.For the Huihe people, getting the large and fertile pasture land in Nagqu is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.He used a piece of land to attract Huihe people to enter the garrison of Pingkang Road, and assisted Yang Lian in guarding a place in Tubo.A large number of Huihe people entered Tubo, and a large number of Han immigrants, plus local Tubo people and foreigners from the Western Regions, etc., basically constituted the prerequisites for the great integration of ethnic groups.

Of course, national integration takes a long time.For Zhang Xuan now, he is just trying his best to do some "pioneering" work for the long-term stability of this land.

On the surface, it seems that the Huihe people have taken a big advantage. In fact, the Huihe tribe will be split up invisible, and the possibility of being assimilated and civilized will be greatly increased.

……

……

The army rested in Shenwu City.Zhang Xuan stayed in the Tubo palace, living a leisurely life, and was not in a hurry to return to Qinghai to destroy Li Gong.

He is not greedy for ease, but the army cannot evacuate at this moment.Nan Jiyun is leading the army to conquer those remnants of Tubo, and there are still many local forces in Tubo that need to be cleaned up, and they need the deterrence of a large army.

Duo Lang took four extremely beautiful Tubo girls into the Tubo palace, and bowed and bowed to the Shence soldiers guarding the palace, flattering him to the fullest.

"Mr. Jun, Duo Lang is summoned to meet you. This is a Tubo woman that Duo Lang recruited for His Majesty. Please let me go."

The soldier glanced at Dolan, then looked at the four Tubo girls who were full of exotic customs, and smiled, "Master Dolan, when you have time, can you find a Tubo girl for us brothers to have fun?"

Duo Lang smiled lasciviously, "That's right, Duo Lang will send a few girls to some military masters tomorrow!"
