Chapter 1020: cut Nanzhao
Chapter 1020 Slaying Nanzhao
On the first day of the first lunar month, Qin Lang gathered all the barbarian chiefs in Dianchi by the Dianchi Lake.
Thousands of barbarian chiefs, big and small, came to see them. All the barbarians had just sat down. General Zuo Xiaowei of the Tang Dynasty, General Jiahao Zhenjun, the governor of Xining Prefecture, who was named Baoguogong, and Duan Xiong, the governor of Lizhou. Duan Zhixuan was dressed in black armor and led two hundred swordsmen into the arena.
Duan Zhixuan was full of murderous intent, and went straight to the place where the chiefs of the Heman under the Erhai Governor's Mansion were at the meeting place, causing all the Heman to be shocked, and they all stood up uncomfortably.
"Sit down!"
"Bold rebel Seronu, don't kneel down!"
Duan Zhixuan yelled loudly, and everyone turned their attention to Nanzhao Wang Xiluonu, who was officially conferred by the Tang court as Inspector of Mengshe Prefecture under the Erhai Governor's Mansion, was stunned.
Several Nanzhao generals around him stood up to protect him.
Duan Zhixuan snorted coldly, waved his hand, "Take down this traitor, and kill him on the spot if he dares to resist!"
Xiluo's slave soul flew out of the sky, somehow Duan Zhixuan, who had always been on good terms with him, suddenly behaved like this, and hurriedly asked the people around him to step back, "Mr. Duan, I don't know what is wrong with me. Where did the theory of rebellion come from?"
Duan Zhixuan beckoned, and the soldiers behind him immediately handed over a roll of documents. With his hand, the document unfolded.
"This is your crime. The evidence is solid. How dare you argue?"
"read!"
Xilonu looked at the long scroll, which listed a lot of his crimes. The most important ones were colluding with Dong Cuan, privately reporting the movements of the officers and soldiers to Dong Cuan, and secretly smuggling supplies and weapons with Dong Cuan. The second is secretly communicating with Tubo, smuggling trade with Tubo, especially smuggling prohibited ordnance and so on.
Then there was Xiluonu who had already attached to Datang and accepted the canonization of the governor of Datang, but still claimed to be the king of Dameng in the territory, and set up a total of six people, Tanchuo, Buxie, and Jiuzan, following the example of Datang. His name is Qingping Official, but he is actually called Prime Minister of Great Mongolia.
Arrogance everywhere, pretending to establish a country, setting up a hundred officials of the court...
Xi Luo Nu also imitated the Tang Dynasty's system of equalizing land and mansion soldiers, secretly recruiting and buying horses to expand its strength.
There are six prime ministers and Qingping officials, and twelve generals in the army.
Under the generals of the army, there are also large and small military mansions. There are six chiefs under the generals of the army. , the master of Xiaofu will be called Mu, and the deputy will be called Mu Lan.
All members of the Mengshe tribe are obliged to undertake military service. Young and strong men serve as soldiers, and those with horses serve as cavalry troops. Each soldier prepares his own equipment. The military organization is mainly rural soldiers. For the four armies, each army has a general, leading 1,000 or 500 men. Therefore, Guan Jun's mansion is also divided into four levels: large, medium and low.
Every year in November and December, when the farming work is over, Bing Cao Chang travels to various cities, towns, villages and valleys to collect troops, practice martial arts, check equipment, and select the most elite rural soldiers as forwards, called Luo Ju. Zi, which means tiger son in Baiman language.
Every hundred people are led by one Luo Juzuo, each of the four armies has Luo Juzi, and they are also standing troops.
In case of sending troops to fight, make a battalion of 2,500 men. The general will lead four armies, one with 1,000 men, and the other three armies with 500 men each. In addition, the military law stipulates that if a soldier is injured in the front, he is allowed to be treated, but if he is injured in the back, he will be executed.
In addition to Luo Juzi, the vanguard of each army, who is the standing army, Mengshezhao also has several standing armies directly under the Nanzhao King, the military numbers are Wangjuzi, Yuyi Army, Negative Platoon, and White Clothes Deathless Army.
Luo Juzi is both a pioneer and an old guard. He has to be selected at various levels and has a high social status. Once selected, he will give priority to farmland.
Yuyi Army and Negative Platoon are the guards of the Nanzhao King, Qingping officials and generals, and the Negative Platoon is selected from Luo Juzi, known as the elite of the elite.
Yuyi has no fixed number of staff, which is equivalent to the inner three guards and five mansions of the Tang Dynasty. It is also selected from the children of senior officials and generals such as Qingping Guan and Da Junzhu to serve as the guard of honor for the Nanzhao king and senior officials.
Usually, no one is allowed to wear weapons when they see the King of Nanzhao. In front of the King of Nanzhao, only Yuyi Chief Yuyi in the Yuyi Army can wear weapons, similar to Qianniu with a Qianniu knife.
White-clothed Immortal Army is a death squad wearing white clothes. These people in white clothes actually refer to white-clothed men, and Wang Juzi is a soldier and horse composed of Wangman tribe.
In addition to these soldiers and horses, Xiluonu also often attacked other barbarian tribes in the territory, and even attacked other edicts in Erhai Lake, plundered the population as slaves, seized land, and expanded the territory.
Because he has always been obedient to Datang, especially in recent years to Duan Zhixuan who guards Xining Prefecture, he keeps giving gifts and often flatters Duan Zhixuan, making Duan Zhixuan very comfortable, so he has a lot of favoritism towards this guy. Datang's banner was made of tiger skin, and it attacked other imperial edicts. It took the opportunity to annex and expand many territories and plundered a lot of people. The number of soldiers and horses in the Great Mongolian Kingdom also continued to expand. It even bought it from Datang through Duan Zhixuan before. Many weapons and equipment, as well as strategic materials such as iron and cowhide.
It can be said that the Great Mongolian Kingdom of Xiluonu has been low-key and docile in the past few years, but in fact it has expanded fiercely. If Duan Zhixuan hadn't been protecting him, it would have aroused public anger and attacked him.
Xiluonu is also smart, he keeps giving gifts to Duan Zhixuan, and often pays tribute to the court, even every time Duan Zhixuan wants to use troops, whether it is to fight those Xirong and Qiangdi, or to fight against the rebel barbarians in Yunnan, Xiluonu is very quick to send troops to cooperate, Even taking the initiative to send troops, it is very hard to fight.
Before, Xi Luonu's strategy was still very effective. He even directly worshiped Duan Zhixuan as his adoptive father and called himself his son.
It's just that Duan Zhixuan felt that this guy was not much younger than himself, so he didn't recognize this son, but Xi Luonu called him foster father every time he met, and he didn't have much objection.
With this godfather, Xi Luonu has been going smoothly for the past few years. This time he came to fight Dong Cuan, and even thought of using Duan Zhixuan's hand to drive Xi Cuan away, and then occupy the Dianchi Lake area by himself.
These days, he still wants to establish a relationship with the famous Duke of Wei through Duan Zhixuan, and even secretly thinks that if he can worship this Duke as his righteous father, then it will be possible for him to replace Cuan and become the real king of Yunnan in the future. No longer out of reach, but within reach.
Although Wei Gong is much younger than him, he can be Wei Gong's adoptive father, but for the sake of power, so what?
Duan Zhixuan looked at Xi Luonu coldly, this southern barbarian who had knelt down in front of him and was extremely obedient, unexpectedly, he was playing with him, and was almost implicated.
After Xi Luonu destroyed the Baizi Kingdom and usurped the throne of his father-in-law Zhang Lejin, his ambitions were too great. He followed the example of the Tang court, promoted the land equalization system, the government army system, and expanded the army. A series of actions have fully proved Qin Lang The approval of this guy, this guy's behavior is already full of negative signs.
It is absolutely impossible for Datang to tolerate such an ambitious guy continuing to exist in Erhai Lake, let alone allow him to come to Dianchi Lake.
Since the traces of antipathy have been revealed, it is natural to cut the weeds immediately.
Today, in front of the barbarians, he will be taken down, convicted, and then executed.
When Duan Zhixuan read aloud the incriminating evidence of Seronu in front of all the barbarians, the audience fell silent.
None of these barbarian chieftains know how powerful Xiluonu is. This guy has beaten invincible opponents around the past few years, and smuggled and traded everywhere, whether it is salt tea, mules and horses, or slave population, gold, silver and ivory. There is no business that this guy dare not do, and even cowhide and iron materials that are banned by the imperial court are also smuggled to Tubo and others.
But this guy used to use the banner of the Tang Dynasty, and worshiped Duan Zhixuan as his adoptive father. Although everyone often complained to Duan Gongbao, Xiluonu was favored, and there was no way to file a lawsuit. Retaliation, this guy has gradually become a tyrant in Erhai Lake, and even openly said that he wants to unify the various edicts.
Now, this reversed too quickly.
They just heard some rumors, saying that this guy is about to worship Duke Wei and become the righteous son of Duke Wei, and that he is about to drive Xi Cuan away and replace Xi Cuan as the master of Dianchi Lake?
Why did it suddenly fall?
"No, I didn't, these are not facts!"
Duan Zhixuan looked around, "You are all from the tribes of Erhai Lake, which is adjacent to Mengshe Prefecture. Do you think these are facts?"
The leaders of Yuexi Zhao, Langqiong Zhao, Sheli Zhao and other Zhao Zhao didn't understand what happened. At this time, they all stood up, and immediately began to echo loudly, and began to complain bitterly about Mengshe Zhao's disobedience and lawlessness. Behavior.
One pile after another, anyway, the wall is falling and everyone is pushing.
If you want to blame, you can blame Meng Shezhao for being too arrogant and ambitious at ordinary times. He has offended everyone around him and everyone has been bullied, so at this moment, everyone only wants to beat him to death, and no one thinks about the death of lips and teeth, the death of a rabbit and the sorrow of a fox. thing.
When the rabbit dies, the fox may be injured, but if it is a tiger or a wolf, it is too late for everyone to be happy.
As a result, Xi Luonu quickly added hundreds of incriminating evidence, some of which were true, but most of them were imposed by those rivermen who fell into trouble.
Many of them are embellishments or even out of thin air. Anyway, everyone only wants to think about Xi Luonu. It is best to completely uproot and destroy this **** Mongolian country, so that everyone will not be worried all day long.
Qin Lang sat on it, watching the scene, very satisfied.
This is exactly what he wanted.
He knew that Xi Luonu had a bad reputation, but what made him most murderous was because he knew that today's Dameng Kingdom would become Nanzhao Kingdom in less than a hundred years, and this Nanzhao Kingdom in history was Southwest China. The shit-stirring stick is not very strong, and the soldiers and horses are not very strong, but it happens to be between the two powerhouses of Datang and Tubo, so they sit on the wall in the middle and send the wind to step on two boats on both sides, disgusting He has done countless things, and even often took advantage of the fire to rob Datang.
It can be said that the Tang Dynasty's war against Tubo has been in a disadvantageous situation for a long time, and this Nanzhao should bear more than half of the responsibility.
