Zhang Xuanbiao is confident that he does this.
Wang Hua made a deal with him. As long as he dared to do it, Wang Hua would give him troops to support him and also give him fifty cannons.
Wang Hua's cannon stopped, and the important craftsmen quietly sent it away. It's not that they didn't do it. First, it's too expensive. Now the technology is not perfect, so using this kind of steel-making as a cannon barrel is not worth the cost. Second, it was made and given to the Tang Dynasty. Wang Hua didn't expect that these cannons would appear too many, which would change history.
Therefore, the number of artillery was limited, so Zhang Xuanbiao naturally knew about this. There were only so many artillery, who would have fallen into the end? Now that he got the hands, he was his. So as soon as he took office, he had an attack. And doing so also shows the world that I am no worse than Guo Yuanzhen, and I dare to attack the Tubo people.
But this kid was very smart. He listened to Wang Hua's advice and focused on guarding and harassment as the supplement. He first guarded each checkpoint, and then took small and sudden military operations from time to time, which made the Tubo people uncomfortable, and at the same time, the Tuyuhun people saw the strength of the Tang army. These tyrants have no morals to say. The strong are kings. The more capable you are, the more convinced you. If you are not capable, it will be useless to treat him. This style is very similar to the later Japanese.
Zhang Xuanbiao took action in front, and Wang Hua sent Ge Shuhan to lead 5,000 troops to Jishishan. He built a military camp at the southern end of the Sinuoluo, which was very strong. Of course, he had no confidence in his heart, but there was a wall better than none.
Geshuhan's vocation brought a lot of explosives, trenchers, and artillery.
As Wang Hua thought, because of the simplicity of the longbow, Tubo now also had a longbow, but this time Geshuhan brought all the artillery and suddenly silenced the Tubo people. Then the catapult approached and then put the explosives on. After only two hours, the soldiers in the military camp began to explode the camp and fled one by one.
This battle killed more than 700 Tubo soldiers and captured more than 600 prisoners.
The prisoners were captured and there were not so many roads and water conservancy projects in the twenty-three states. There were certainly some, and the more they were built, the better. Whether it was water conservancy or roads, it would be a major event that benefited hundreds of years. But Wang Hua didn't want to start construction. Construction requires money.
So he concentrated the prisoners to Yinshan or Jishishan to build cities and castles one by one, which would be very beneficial to future border defense. In fact, until now, Wang Hua did not want to expand his territory. To the south, he was the Bailan tribe. The climate was cold and the sea was higher, and the people were not adapted to this environment. To the north, he passed Yinshan, and the climate was colder and there was no terrain to defend. Now he captured it, it would be better to lose his money. Until a more powerful firearm appeared, causing the nomadic people to lose their immediate advantage, that was the time for them to truly surrender.
Not only did I build a city, but I also only gave me two porridge meals a day.
There was also a popular name, "It's not that I'm unkind and righteous. I haven't seen it. I've given you food and drink, and I haven't killed you. But you, Tubo, don't want to ask you anymore, and only asked to exchange 20,000 Central Plains people captured by you Tubo. But what about the Turks? They have more than half of their prisoners of war, but they have used nearly 100,000 people. Are you really worthless? I can't afford to raise it now, so you can only drink millet porridge.
After a month, these prisoners of war were so thin that they were skinny and boneless.
These prisoners of war were released and after hearing Wang Hua's bewitching, they would probably not be very loyal to Tubo.
Wang Hua did not take this war seriously. Now that Tubo saw that he had reconciled with the Tang Dynasty, he probably did not dare to launch a large-scale battle. Besides, Li Longji was also ambitious and would never sell his country and seek honor for the sake of the country like Wei.
Therefore, he immediately disbanded all 40,000 militias.
This is also the biggest weakness of the twenty-three states. In such a large area, there are only about one million people. This is still the 100,000 people brought back from Dafeichuan and other states, as well as the Turks. Otherwise, the number of people would be reduced by more than 300,000.
But although the people's lives have improved over the past two years, tens of thousands of soldiers have been sacrificed, that is, one member of every three households has died or been seriously injured.
Now it is time to practice and nourish and rest.
Then there is the wedding.
Before the wedding, Wang Hua found Li Chiying again and talked to her for a while.
Unlike Li Guer, her parents are not alive, but Li Chiying's father and brother are all still in the world. Wang Hua did not expect that Master Sun would take Liu Chan back to Dongwu several years later.
The little girl gritted her teeth and thought for a long time, but Wang Hua was not disappointed. Thinking carefully would be good for everyone. If Li Chiying immediately agreed like Mang Zhang Fei, Wang Hua would be a little worried.
Finally nodded.
It's not easy. Wang Hua and Li Guer have been here today. Before the wedding was held, they asked Wang Hua to see him away. She has also been withstood for many years. She has been withstood since Wang Hua's scientific examination. She was kidnapped by her father, and then the kidnapped has not been found yet.
This wedding was also grand.
Wang Hua once again gave a lot of heavy gifts like he was hiring Li Guer. He was not in a hurry to pay more debts, and Li Chiying felt wronged.
But at this time, Song Jing said something untimely: "The court has lost all its face."
After all, Li Chiying is the most noble princess now. Even if Wang Hua married Li Chiying, he obediently held a wedding in Chang'an, even if he returned to Lingzhou after the meeting. But now he was in Lingzhou, and even the Prime Minister did not attend. In order to be in peace, the court did not care about his self-esteem at all.
After hearing the news, Wang Hua wrote a letter to the Song Dynasty, which said that a gentleman also has the beauty of becoming a human being. Besides, I have helped you a little bit. You asked me to go back to Chang'an to hold a wedding. Think about it, can the wedding be successfully completed?
The Song Dynasty did not reply, and probably didn't like Wang Hua's arrogantness now.
However, the Song Dynasty and Yao Yuanzhi were prime ministers. The two worked together to eliminate Li Xianshi's various shortcomings, and appointed loyal, righteous and virtuous people, demoted and repelled evil and unfilial people, and imparted and punished fairly. The bad habit of bribery and pleading ties immediately disappeared, and all laws were rectified. The court was a righteous trend, and the court and the people agreed that the country had returned to the atmosphere of the Zhenguan Yonghui period.
Moreover, the two of them wrote a letter with Bi Gou and suggested: "All the slanted officials appointed by the previous dynasty should be dismissed."
It was this suggestion that thousands of officials were removed from their posts in one go.
This is a good pressure relief at one time. These thousands of officials do not say that they embezzle and accept bribes, but the country will spend a lot of money on their annual salary.
Wang Hua remained silent after hearing this, and his subordinates were also talented. Elva Hsiao and Song Wen were steady and conscientious, Zhu Tong’s wisdom, and Mo He Gan’s harmony, but when it comes to governing government affairs, they are far from these two.
But he knew that the biggest hidden danger in the court had emerged.
After receiving the news that Wang Hua got married, Li Dan could no longer bear it this time, and asked Princess Taiping to lift Li Chongmao off the dragon throne again. Li Dan sat on the dragon throne as she wished.
Although the Xuanwu Gate coup was initiated by Li Longji, in recent years, Princess Taiping and Li Dan have relied on each other and made important contributions to the preservation of Li Dan. When Li Longji launched the coup, she also participated in the planning.
Later, she took the world's most atrocities and scolded Li Chongmao many times, and carried Li Chongmao off the dragon throne twice, so her contributions were no less than that of Li Longji.
Because of his great achievements and have tried his best to help over the years, Li Dan trusts Princess Taiping very much.
In addition, she was decisive and skillful in dealing with things, and was full of power and strategy. Li Dan often discussed the major national affairs with her. Every time she entered the court, she would sit with Li Dan for a long time and talk to her for a long time. Sometimes she did not attend court, and Li Dan would send the prime minister to her home to ask about things that had been discussed for a long time.
Another point is that Li Dan himself is also wise, but in recent years, he has developed a very bad habit of playing Tai Chi. This playing Tai Chi is like Su Wei, ambiguous. Being a subject or an emperor is not good, and he has to wait for him to reply.
Therefore, when there is a matter of undecision or a major matter, he will ask: "Have you discussed this matter with Princess Taiping?" or ask: "Have you discussed it with Sanlang (Li Longji)?"
In just two or three months, because of Li Dan's delegation of power, Li Dan did not agree with anything that Princess Taiping wanted to do. The promotion of civil and military officials in the court almost came to her words. Her power clearly exceeded that of Li Dan.
At first, Princess Taiping worked diligently to help Li Dan consolidate his country, but because of Li Dan's indulgence, Princess Taiping began to indulge.
Wang Hua's evaluation of this matter is: "Yang Gongshu Duan."
However, something happened at this time. Zheng Yan saw that the court had just replaced him and the political situation was unstable. He thought he could take advantage of the opportunity. He gambled and sneaked back to Junzhou. At this time, Li Dan had issued an edict to let Li Chongfu become the governor of Jizhou. This appointment was because he was afraid that Li Chongfu would operate in Junzhou for many years, and he was transferred from Hubei to Sichuan at once, cutting off his foundation.
Just before Li Chongfu was about to take office, Zheng Yan found Zhang Ling Zeng Se and had a secret conversation for a while. Zhang Lingjun began to lobby Li Chongfu: "Your Highness, you are the eldest son of the late emperor and should inherit the throne. Although the Prime Minister has made contributions, he should not inherit the throne. The people of the Dongdu all hope that you can come to Luoyang. If you sneak into Luoyang, mobilize troops from left and right camps, accidentally kill Dongdu left behind, and then occupy Dongdu, without any strange magical weapons coming from the sky. Then you can capture Shanzhou and take the two sides of the Yellow River to the east, and then the world will be issued an edict."
It cannot be said that it makes no sense, but the soldier he is in his hand?
If Wang Hua helps, he will have half the chance of success. However, Wang Hua saw that this prince is even more undesirable than Li Chongjun, so he had no idea of catching a cold at all.
But Li Chongfu really believed it, so he sent Zhang Lingjun to plot with Zheng secretly and gathered dozens of dead soldiers. At this time, Zheng Yan had been demoted from the secretary to the governor of Yuanzhou again, but he sneaked back to Luoyang and stayed without leaving, waiting for Li Chongfu to arrive. He even drafted the book, changed the year name to Zhongyuan Kefu, and appointed Li Dan as the emperor Ji Shu, and appointed Li Chongmao as the crown prince. He himself served as the left prime minister and presided over civil affairs within and outside the court; appointed Zhang Lingjun as the right prime minister and the general of Tianzhu, presided over military officer affairs; appointed Yan Shansi, the chief servant of the Right Cavalry, as the Minister of Rites, presided over affairs of the Ministry of Personnel.
The old boy suddenly promoted himself to the first prime minister.
Li Chongfu and Zhang Lingjun sneaked into Luoyang by postcar, and Zheng Yan arranged for the son-in-law Pei Xun's house to secretly receive Li Chongfu.
When officials in Luoyang heard about this, they went to Pei's house to inquire. When they saw Li Chongfu, they didn't know how many people Li Chongfu had brought in. After hearing the news, many people fled or hid in fear.
But not all the officials fled. Cui Riyong's cousin, Cui Rizhi, was not considered a good official, but he was very brave. He immediately prepared to mobilize the army after hearing this. On this side, Li Chongfu took his hands to the left and right palaces, and was very unlucky and met Li Yong again.
He was riding on a horse, conceiving the tasks assigned by Wang Hua. Wang Hua looked at him very much, asked him to write and write poems, and wrote essays in total, which was a total of three tasks. This was a long-faced thing. Seeing these people rushing over, there were hundreds of followers this time. I immediately rushed to the camp and told the soldiers: "King Qiao Li Chongfu was convicted of the late emperor. Now he has entered the Eastern Capital for no reason. He must be preparing to cause trouble. You should take this opportunity to make contributions to the court and seek wealth and glory."
"No" replied in unison. This time, the ten thousand cavalrymen in Chang'an had a long face, which made the Yulin soldiers in Luoyang very jealous.
So as soon as Li Chongfu arrived at the camp, arrows fell like rain. Li Chongjun had to go to Zuoye Gate and wanted to recruit left-behind troops in the Dongdu, but these troops had long been greeted by Cui Rizhi. The city gate was closed and no one paid attention to him. He angrily sent someone to set fire to the city gate. Before the fire could be burned, the soldiers in the left and right camps had already been forced to come over because of their desire to make contributions. Li Chongfu was desperate and had to escape from the east gate and escape into the valley to hide. But he did not have the ability of Wang Hua, nor did Li Chongjun's good luck. He got Wang Hua's help. Cui Rizhi led the army to search the mountains. Li Chongfu had no choice but to commit suicide by throwing into the canal.
Another mastermind Zheng Yan saw that something was wrong, so he combed his hair bun, put on a woman's clothes, and hid it in the car to run away. However, although he was good at literary talent, he looked ugly and had a beard. It was better to pretend to be someone else. He even didn't look like a woman, so he immediately grabbed him. When he was interrogated, his legs were trembling. Seeing him like this, Zhang Lingjun said regretfully: "No wonder the King of Northwest refused to cooperate with us and how could he be defeated if he was a coward like you?"
So both of them were beheaded in Nancheng, Luoyang.
Zheng was also capable in his life. He first sent Lai Junchen to be promoted. After Lai Junchen was killed, he was judged again based on Zhang Yizhi, and was still rich and prosperous. After Zhang Yizhi was executed, he immediately defected to Wusansi and Wei. However, the last gamble finally failed. The Zuo Prime Minister did not take it as a result, but was killed by the clan together with his family.
After hearing this, Zhu Tong said to Wang Hua: "Master Wang, the country is really troublesome."
Wang Hua said sarcastically: "Nine Five Supreme, who doesn't want to?"
Zhu Tong sighed and said, "Maybe, what you said is right."
If the emperor did not have such great power, then so many changes would come? However, without an emperor, Zhu Tong was also confused about how to govern the world.
At this time, Wu Luan Guo found Wang Hua again.
Tubo is very passive now, and the Blood Camp has only attacked once. However, Zhang Xuanbiao has attacked three times and has not gained much, but it has made the Tubo people feel anxious.
They were not afraid of Zhang Xuanbiao. Without the support of the Blood Camp, Zhang Xuanbiao would be just a tiger without teeth.
So this time they had to endure the pain and make huge concessions.
Wang Hua did not talk about it, but said another thing: "The barbarians in Yaozhou (Yao'an, Yunnan) rebelled and killed the imperial official Li Zhigu, but were you instructed by the Tubo people?"
Wu Lun Guo hurriedly said, "Master Wang, we are negotiating sincerely. You cannot get rid of the crime, so why not worry? When did this happen? Last winter, it had nothing to do with this plan."
This happened last year. The cause was that the barbarians of Yaozhou depended on Tubo. Li Zhigu asked the army to conquer the army. The barbarian tribes were afraid of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty again. However, Li Zhigu once again requested to build a city wall in Yaozhou. However, Xu Jian, the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate, thought that this could not be done, so his suggestion was not adopted. However, in order to be greedy for merit, Li Zhigu privately mobilized Jiannan troops to build a city wall, and deliberately brought the barbarian leaders Yin* over and then killed them. As soon as the leaders died, he thought that the major matter could be settled, so he lent his taxes to the people, and then plundered their children as slaves, which made the barbarian tribes angry. So Tubo troops came over, killed Li Zhigu, and sacrificed his body to heaven. So Yaozhou and Wuzhou fell into the hands of Tubo again, and it was not opened for many years.
Wang Huazhu grinded for a while and said that the incident was caused by Li Zhigu. The Tubo people probably only participated passively, because Yaozhou and Wuzhou were mainly based on mountainous terrain, which was a useless rib for the Tang Dynasty. For Tubo, the road was also far away and the meaning of it was not very important.
But if the situation had not changed, the Tubo people would have definitely expanded the southern situation from this breakthrough.
Thinking of this, he said, "I believe you Tubo people once."
Guo Cai breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Wang Hua would ask Yao and the other states to manage the Tubo people.
So this time, we finally negotiated in a friendly atmosphere. Wang Huashuang slacked the pineapple, and Tubo promised to repay 50,000 people, and had to increase the number. The current political situation is different from the one a few months ago. But it is impossible for 100,000 people. Once a princess was given to Tubo, it would be a loss of face and had to shake the foundation.
However, Wang Hua reduced the number this time, but he also put forward a condition.
The 50,000 people and Princess Jincheng were not sent to Lingzhou, but directly entered Tianzhu from Tubo. Because of the transaction of grain in this area, Lu Ergou and others were very familiar with the local tribes and the small princes. They boarded the boat and went directly to Oceania.
Otherwise, after returning to Lingzhou, there would be trouble. Maybe the court would ask Princess Jincheng to return to Chang'an again. Wang Hua could not stop him. Then several years later, the court might make a fool of himself and give Princess Jincheng to the Tubo people again.
But these people's king paintings were from the other school. In name, they went to Oceania, but in fact most of them were transferred to the north.
When we arrived in Siberia, the people were not catching colds and the weather was too cold. But the Tubo people were different. They stayed on the plateau and adapted to the cold weather. They distinguished these people and transferred them all over. It was not that China did not want this area later. In ancient times, living conditions were backward, and the people thought they could not survive and no one was willing to go. Therefore, this vast and resource-rich area became a homeless place.
But Wang Hua prepared a lot for today, including sending people to transfer grain and finding coal mines. Now, there is still time to go, so he can only transfer a lot of grain, build a house for them, and survive this winter. But this behavior is not noticeable, and they are far north of the Outing Xing'an Mountains, which is to prevent the Marines from being noticed in the north. In the north, there are not only Marines, but also Shiweis, Tieli, Sumo, Yulou, Heishui, and Mo Yi. Even the Junli tribes live in the sea of Heilongjiang. There are the Kushu people living on Sakhalin Island, which is one of the Jurchen ancestors later. It is probably because the weather is relatively warm now.
Therefore, these tens of thousands of people only started to land on the north side of the Ewentsk Sea. Their future development will also develop westward and not southward.
Wang Hua sent two soldiers to escort the blood camp.
After this matter, he had no other concerns and finally began to prepare for the production of the Kyushu Cauldron.
Chapter completed!
