Chapter 19 The Second Ceremony
But Li Xian's weakness and mediocrity were destined to be the result.
If it were Li Shimin, Wei would probably be deposed because of this. Of course, if Li Shimin was alive, even if the country would be in chaos, he would also eliminate the unstable factor of Wang Hua.
No one knows what happened in the palace. Is it whether Li Xian saw the couple's kindness and voluntarily letting Wei down again, or whether Wei used some clever words. In short, Li Xian expressed silence on this matter.
However, the Wei family stood up in a boo, saying that it was just a coincidence. Di Dayan just loved money and had nothing to do with the Wei family. Zhang family was good, Wang family was good, and he would be moved as long as he gave him money. The Wei family did not send anyone to murder Wang Hua. Perhaps because of the misunderstanding between Wang Hua and the Wei family, Di Dayan believed it even more. But Wang Hua's approach undoubtedly deliberately slandered the dignity of the thousand-year-old family.
The Wei family has no history of thousands of years, and even King Cui Lu Zheng and Li have no history of thousands of years. This is a gild on the face.
But no matter how they explain it, there is no one who believes it.
Wang Hua did not explain it, so he took it slowly and was not in a hurry. Moreover, after presenting this memorial, Wang Hua was waiting and watching.
The court also accepted the gift, but there was no movement or sending troops. It turned out that he was hesitant to send troops or not. After this battle, he did not dare to send troops. However, he would not give Wang a clear name. Once Wang Hua was given, he would be more at ease to develop in the Eight Prefectures.
But in a distant place, something is changing.
The Chi Daizhu Dan is still very young now, and the regime is controlled by the Empress Dowager Wulu.
After hearing the news of Di Dayan's defeat, she was shocked. Why did she dare to arrogantly treat Princess Jincheng? Why did she dare to ask Princess Jincheng by name? It was because the Tang Dynasty fought against Tubo and suffered repeated defeats. This time it turned out to be the other way around, what does this mean?
It may not cause great harm to Tubo. Although there are few Tubo people, the whole people are soldiers. This time, Di Dayan was just stealing, that doesn't count. Look at each time Tubo fought against the Tang Dynasty, it was calculated in units of 100,000 people.
But as Wang Hua expected, the situation in Tubo is a bit bad now, so without absolute certainty, he will not resist Wang Hua.
The main reason is that she has a bad premonition through this trend.
She summoned all the ministers.
After discussion, he immediately transferred Di Dayan back to Tubo to replace another brave general who was fighting in Nipola. This was the prince of the Supi tribe. The year before yesterday, Supi was rebellious and was suppressed by Tubo and surrendered to Tubo. No one expected that this person would become the Pang De of Tubo. He was extremely fierce when he suppressed Nipola and showed his strong military ability.
Use him to exchange it with Di Dayan. Di Dayan has a psychological advantage over Ni Bharu.
Of course, the Tubo monarchs and ministers would definitely not let Wang Hua go, but they would not be able to send troops in one fell swoop until the rebellion in the south was completely quelled.
When Wang Hua heard the name, he looked at Wang Junchuo and showed a strange smile.
This general has a close relationship with Wang Junchuo in history. Sinuoluo led his army to attack Liangzhou. Wang Junchuo was afraid of his reputation and shrank and hid in Liangzhou City. Even if his father was captured by Sinuoluo, he did not dare to fight. However, Wang Junchuo was not simple. When Sinuoluo withdrew his troops, he sent surprise troops to burn all the dead grass on Dafei River. In addition, the weather was cold and the land was frozen, and he lost the horse grain. He came to invade without success. As a result, he was trapped in the horses and made Wang Junchuo defeat his rear army in one fell swoop and avenged his father's revenge. However, Sinuoluo was still the mainstay of Tubo and became a major concern in the border areas of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. It was not until Xiao Song used a counter-espionage plan and made Tubo kill this brave general. The battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo gradually became the upper hand.
This person's military talent is definitely above Di Dayan.
Wang Hua also felt a little headache when he heard this name.
Wulu used another second move.
Because of backward civilization, there are not many records of this woman in history. But this woman is definitely Empress Dowager Liu of the Song Dynasty, a very amazing woman. After her husband's death, Tubo rebelled continuously and suffered from plague. Her son was young and all tribes were ambitious. When many princes participated in the throne, not to mention a woman or a man, she would have a headache when encountering these things. But she covered the sky with her hands and forced Tubo to support her and achieve a smooth transition to the regime.
Although as an enemy, Wang Hua sometimes admires this woman when he thinks of him.
The second strategy is that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty came. The person who came was from the Wei family, the Si Nong Shaoqing Wei Coo. Wang Hua was attacking the Wei family, but the Wei family was very big, and not everyone was bad. In fact, after hundreds of years of depth, there were many outstanding talents in the Wei family.
Although Wei Coo was born in the Wei family, he was just right. He was sad to Zong Chuke some time ago. Zong Chuke went to Wei to complain, and Wei was about to transfer him to Beizhou as the governor and sent him out to avoid chattering in the court. Just as Princess Jincheng's letter arrived, he asked him to go on a mission to Tubo to observe Princess Jincheng's situation. But he was a civil servant, and his vocation was very slow. In addition, after hearing the news that Wang Hua fought with Tubo, his speed was even more intentionally slowed down.
After the battle, I have more investment in negotiations. So I just arrived in Luoshecheng.
But at this time, he had time to prepare some cities and began to officially build the city. Whether it could be built was two different things, but the foundation was large, half the area of the Potala Palace. Then he ordered the servants who served Princess Jincheng to fight back and scold them, not only could they not fight back, but they also had to greet them with a smile.
Then he took Wei Coo and let him see it for himself.
Did you see? It’s not that we Tubo is not good to you Tang princesses, but that the princess was bewitched by Wang Hua and wanted to return to the Tang Dynasty and make unreasonable trouble. As long as she grows up and understands the truth, she will be better.
Of course, Princess Jincheng also complained about the wrongdoer, but in this way, Wei Coo didn't know which one was the truth or the other was the lies. After all, Princess Jincheng stayed with Wang Hua for a long time, and Wang Hua was a hard minister who opposed the couplet, so he would be somewhat affected. Although it was logical to listen to Princess Jincheng's words, Princess Jincheng was too young and could not distinguish the truth clearly.
Unable to judge, he had to perfunctorily say that he could not make the decision and could only go back and report to the emperor truthfully, depending on what the emperor meant.
Although Princess Jincheng was young, she knew that she was ruined when she saw Wei Kou's attitude. She didn't expect him to be. She had already received the news from Wang Hua and told her about the victory of Da Dayan. Wang Hua also said that at most three to five years, she could take her back to the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Coo had no result and had to go back, but Tubo sent a large group of envoys to follow him to the Tang Dynasty, saying that he was apologizing, which made His Majesty the Tang Dynasty worry about a crime and brought a lot of gifts. In fact, the apologies were fake, mainly to strengthen relations with the Tang Dynasty, unite and isolate Wang Hua. No matter how powerful Wang Hua is in the eight states, as long as he loses the Tang Dynasty as a big backer, he will not be generous. Of course, it is best to provoke the Tang Dynasty to take the initiative to join forces with Tubo to defeat Wang Hua.
Therefore, he secretly brought many expensive gifts, which were given to ministers such as Zong Chuke, so that they could provoke them in front of Li Xian.
Wei Coo didn't know either, but he even knew that Tubo sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and he could not stop him.
A group of people set out on the road in a mighty way. But they did not follow Dafeichuan, but took the road of western Sichuan, for fear of being cut off by Wang Hua in Shanzhou.
Wang Hua knew that Sinuoluo came to Dafeichuan, but he didn't know about the mission. It took a long time before the group arrived in Dalizhou and he heard the news. He didn't care. He allowed him to use a plan, so he would not allow Tubo to use a plan. It depends on who has strong strength and high strategy.
He was also very busy during this period. When Sinuoluo arrived, he did not intend to fight again. It may not be next summer, it depends on the timing. But the defense must be prepared, and the army stationed in Shanzhou to Hezhou was added. Then the most troublesome thing was arranged.
The people of the five tribes arrived, and Sinuoluo and Didayan changed their defenses. This was not a change from Luoshe City, but from Nipola. It took a lot of time to go back and forth. Now Tubo handed over military affairs to Ke Zanre, who was slightly more eye-catching in this battle.
But Ke Zanre was only eye-catching, but he didn't have the courage to face Wang Hua. Moreover, due to the two battles, Tubo's troops were severely exhausted, and now it has almost formed a vacuum zone from Jishishan to Dafeichuan. This gave the five tribes enough time. So they gathered their tribes with peace of mind. This convening, and other tribes also participated.
Then, like a snowball, more than 177,000 people were rolled.
When he saw that something was wrong, he stopped immediately. Then he slowly drove away, but on the way, various tribes joined in. When he arrived in Shanzhou, he rolled into more than 190,000 people. Wang Hua turned dark and almost fainted. It was so lively that he had to prepare 800,000 stones of grain, but now he had to prepare at least 1 million stones of grain. Moreover, the tribes that could roll in were all bitter. Even if the food was sufficient, Wang Hua would pay the subsidy, otherwise he would not be able to survive next year's autumn harvest.
Ke Zanre was anxious when he heard this news. How many people could there be in the entire Tubo? He asked Wang Hua to get more than 300,000 away, which was great. He immediately sent 3,000 troops to stop him. But he was still a little short of fighting with Wang Hua.
Wang Hua had already sent Wang Junchuo and Geshuhan to lead 5,000 troops to cover the migration of these people. It would be strange if the Tubo people didn't notice such a big disturbance.
Before they could fight, Ke Zanre came and went quickly when he saw Ge Shuhan, the god of killing, and was like a panicked little rabbit, quickly leading the army away.
This time, Wang Hua was filled with joy and sorrow.
What is happy is that except for the army, the population is close to 500,000 people. With so many population bases, it is amazing once productivity is restored. Moreover, with the population base, a huge source of troops has also been generated. What is worrying is not only about food, but also about land.
With so many people, even if they are cultivated, they must have a large amount of land to settle down.
While discussing, rewarded the soldiers, cloth, money, and official positions in the army. There were also various tribes who sent warriors from tribes to participate in this battle, especially the thirty tribes in the five prefectures, rewarded livestock, some of the shortage of daily necessities in tribes, and even seized weapons. These tribes were at least more loyal than other tribes. Including the Mi family, the somewhat speculative nature, the Tuoba tribe of Lingzhou, and the Tuohun tribes who had a good impression of Wang Hua, Lingzhou, Huizhou and other Tuohun tribes who had a good impression of Wang Hua, and some of the weak and speculative Shiwei tribes. Not only did they give them weapons, but they also gave them some prisoners of war as slaves, enriching and strengthening the strength of their tribes.
Other tribes were a little jealous, but now Wang Hua dared not say anything with the power of great victory.
Then I sent someone to send a letter to the family that was friendly to him. I never asked you for yours during the most difficult time in Yashu. Now after this battle, the surrounding forces dared not make any decisions about me unscrupulously. And hundreds of thousands of people came, and their power became even stronger.
You all get my benefits, of course, I can't say that in the letter, but that's what it means. Not only the benefits of the maritime association, the negotiations with Dashi, after a long-term tug-of-war, finally reached an agreement, which is thanks to the Dashi merchants, whose persuasion played an important role. Of course, after the canal is completed, they are also the biggest beneficiaries. The agreement is that Wang Hua contributes capital, Dashi provides manpower. Tax income, Dashi is 90% and Wang Hua gives 10% of the tax. Although it is very rare, the territory belongs to others and there is no way. However, after the canal is completed, if commerce is developed, even 10% of the taxation, it will take less than ten years to completely recover it.
In fact, the benefits don’t matter. Wang Hua mainly uses this canal to broaden the horizons of the Chinese people and avoid the situation of being in seclusion in the future.
Then there is taxation for various commodities, and this has to be negotiated. Otherwise, a tax of 200% or 300% will appear in the future, or a tax of 200% will be a tax, and the Tang Dynasty will have another tax, so the construction of this canal will be meaningless.
However, negotiations are negotiations, God knows whether the cannibals will break their promises in the future?
But when this news came, it cheered up the hearts of these families.
Not to mention the twenty huge families that have already benefited.
So Wang Hua said this too much. Wang Hua wrote again, so it is not a waste of help. Now the people in my hands, especially the migrant Party and the Ministry of Education, have a large amount of livestock to be sold. But I don’t want money, just food. Let you talk. After the talk, as long as each stone of grain is transported to the Eight Prefectures, I will add another subsidy of 200 ci.
There was no way. With the arrival of huge immigration, the food he had saved and the food he had stolen was decreasing sharply every day, and he was really anxious.
Then we arranged for immigration.
He had negotiated with various tribes that performed well and had a rough judgment in his mind. The tribes that had not negotiated were all stubborn tribes, and he had abandoned them. Under his intentional or unintentional suppression, one or two years later, these tribes will become vulnerable groups in the Eight Prefectures.
First of all, it is temptation. A few workshops will be built soon, and Wang Hua gave up some shares to them. Then he made a subsidy.
In this way, they moved out their territory, exchange pastures, moved out the place, and then digging ditches. Now it is at the end of August, the water level has begun to weaken and construction can be started. Maybe we can still grab some summer harvests a little. Then we can circle out the fields to weed and plow. This must be done in winter, so that the ice and snow will be frozen for a winter, which is more beneficial to the growth of crops.
But the number of people pouring in was too large. No matter how he arranged it, the land became tense.
So the conflict arose, which was led by a group of Shatu people in Huizhou. The Shatu people mainly live in the east of Tianshan Mountain and are also a powerful force in the Western Regions. This is a wandering Shatu people, with more than a thousand people, which is also considered a large tribe in Huizhou.
Wang Hua sent people to mediate, but the Shatu people did not listen. It turned out that Wang Hua had already squeezed out a large number of pastures to arrange tens of thousands of captured people. Now we no longer give in, and we joined in the fun with several other tribes. As the people were too much, they became enthusiastic and rushed to drive away the people placed by Wang Hua.
When Wang Hua heard this, he continued to mediate, and this time he deliberately pretended to be weak.
As a result, Wang Hua really thought that Wang Hua was weak and the matter became more and more troubled. Eight people were beaten to death by the fierce Shatuo people, and more than twenty people were injured. At this time, Wang Hua sent Ge Shuhan to lead two thousand soldiers, and only gave one task, quickly wiped out, and was not allowed to show mercy.
When Ge Shuhan heard this, he knew it and took two thousand soldiers to the scene. He didn't say a word and started chopping and killing half of the Shatuo people. When the other half saw that the situation was not good, he ran away and even wanted property.
With just one blow, this tribe completely disappeared from the Yashu.
This time, the iron-blooded treatment was silent, and they remembered that Wang Hua was easy to talk when he was good at talking, and he was also a god of killing when he was not easy to talk. This made things really go smoothly.
This is called being polite first and then being soldier. First, you can be ruthless. Once you go on the court, even if you are afraid of it, you will not accept it.
For each division, we first rituals and then soldiers, and for the paintings of the imperial court, we also first rituals and then soldiers.
The first gift was given.
He gave another big gift. The time when Luoyang was seriously damaged, Wang Hua took out one million yuan of money to Luoyang to voluntarily to pay the damaged people, and the officials did not care. It was worthy of it. At the same time, he took out one million yuan of money to buy a large amount of daily necessities and distributed it to the people. This was for compensation.
Although it is a huge sum of money, he now has an amazing annual income. When will he spend it? Not only this money, hundreds of thousands of people in the eight states want to make a smooth transition to next autumn, and the subsidy costs will be even greater. Wang Hua has to pay for agricultural tools, grain and daily necessities and other supplies.
Then, because the court also suffered losses, he took the initiative to give 1.5 million yuan to the court again. He did a very kind and righteous manner. In fact, many people in Luoyang hated Wang Hua because of their damage. Wang Hua's compensation this time also regained a lot of influence.
Then a memorial was submitted. Now the fifth department of the Dangxiang people brought more than 190,000 people to join the Tang Dynasty. However, I had no food in my hands. Can I allow me to send one million stones of grain to Lanzhou?
How much does one million stone of grain cost? Although the price of grain is rising quietly, the price of rice per bucket of rice in Chang'an is only more than 30 cents in the coming season of autumn. One million stone is only more than 300,000 yuan. However, Wang Hua's time was equivalent to exchanging more than 300 cents for a bucket of rice. The previous tribute was not included, and the grain was still his own, and the transportation cost was his own.
In this case, if the court does not agree, it will be unreasonable.
But can you agree? Wang Hua is now a difficult situation, and the court is not unaware of Wang Hua's development of water conservancy and reclaiming fields. As long as he walks through it and survives next year, the eight states will reach nearly 500,000 people. Not to mention production, in other words, in addition to tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, he can also immediately draw at least 50,000 soldiers.
At that time, with his abilities and huge resources, even if he rebelled, no one could control him.
Even Zhang Shuo would not agree to Wang Hua's development in this way.
Everyone stared at each other again for any excuses to refuse.v
