Datang ancient martial arts system

Chapter 397
In the 14th year of Zhenguan, the whole country of the Tang Dynasty had a great harvest. Because the people planted a variety of vegetables, and the pigs and sheep after castration grew faster and bigger, the people's life was rich, and the food consumption was reduced. Therefore, the government has not stopped in the past two years. The newly built granary was used to store the harvested grain.

With more food and more money in hand, Li Shimin issued an order to begin further adjustments and development across the country.

The people in remote mountainous areas should be relocated to places with fertile land and resettled together. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for people in mountainous areas to manage and they would not receive much tax revenue because they do not have much tax revenue. Therefore, relocation is the right way.

Because the imperial court gave preferential treatment to the people, soldiers, and all Tang people, the people in those mountains easily accepted the relocation.

After all, the imperial court has subsidies, and no one is unwilling to replace it with more fertile land.

…………

In the 15th year of Zhenguan, Liu Rengui, the navy general, drove the latest warships to sea. This time, the five large ships were built with steel keels and hulls. They were 5000 meters long and fully loaded with [-] people. They could sail for a month without supplies.

Using sails, rotation, and two kinds of power, the main goal of this voyage is Daqin (Rome) in the west.

In the same year, Niu Jinda and his son led a [-] plateau army that had been trained for several years to attack the Tubo Plateau.

Unable to stand the constant arrests by the Qin Palace, the Huns have fled thousands of miles away to harm Guifang, Luocha and other tribes.

The Palace of the King of Qin dispatched three generals, Bai Yi, Meng Quan, and Li Yi, leading one hundred thousand Qin cavalry and one hundred thousand Qin crossbowmen, and cooperated with Li Jing's 50 army to launch a war against the East Turks.

After several years of development in the Tang Dynasty, the 50 well-equipped army is more powerful than the previous million-strong army.

The Khitans were Situ Changfeng's loyal thugs, guarding Liaodong for him, and Situ Changfeng brought 20 great Tang cavalry and [-] warriors from the four counties of Liaodong to appear on the land of Tianzhu.

At the same time, [-] Nanyang elites, [-] Tu ethnic groups, [-] Lingnan elites, and [-] provocative and slang people were dispatched at the same time.

Sun Nan'an and Sun Xiaohu led the Sun family, and Feng An, the patriarch of the Feng family, was very powerful. He had more than 50 children, and this time it was his eldest son Feng Zhidai and nine younger sons.

The Feng family earns a lot from canned lychees, dried bananas, and sugar cane every year, so this time when they knew that Situ Changfeng was going to fight, they immediately reported it to Li Shimin, and then came to hug him.

Because in the past two years, with a combination of soft methods and a thunderous blow, the four islands of Wajima were wiped out, and the remaining Ainu people became the same thugs as the Khitan people.

In the four kingdoms of Washima, the 300 million young and strong were all reduced to coolies. Now all the engineering projects in Datang have been taken care of by slaves.

Therefore, Li Shimin permanently abolished the labor service of the people of the Tang Dynasty, which brought Li Shimin's reputation to an unprecedented height.

If anyone wants to rebel now, he must be killed by his soldiers before he raises his troops.

Unprecedented, the people are no longer doing hard labor. This is not only happy for the people, but also sang praises from all over the court.

Far surpassing the achievements of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Li Shimin was completely elated, which is why he agreed to Situ Changfeng's expedition to Tianzhu, which is thousands of miles away.

Because Situ Changfeng introduced that it was the birthplace of the docile and hardworking Kunlun slaves who were willing to endure hardships and stand hard work. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little impatient when he thought that there would be millions of Kunlun slaves.

"According to the information received, the rulers of this land are called the Later Gupta Dynasty, but the Gupta royal family has no control over the outside world. It can be said that it is even more chaotic than the Spring and Autumn and Warring States." In a hall, Situ Changfeng He took out a map and introduced it.

"So, wouldn't it be easy to defeat?" Sun Xiaohu asked excitedly.

After listening to what Situ Changfeng said, everyone else had almost the same idea, but they were not as familiar with Situ Changfeng as Sun Xiaohu, so they didn't ask, but they looked at him expectantly.

"In general, just like this county, their defenses are very weak. There are only some castles built with stones, which are difficult to attack. But one thing to note is that there is a newly built Jieri Kingdom in the north, which should not be underestimated. If you match up, don't take it lightly, it will cause loss of troops." Situ Changfeng nodded and warned.

"How to fight, Brother Yihu, can you tell me?" Sun Xiaohu asked impatiently.

"The people of India are divided into four classes, and their status from high to low is divided into Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras.

Brahmins enjoy the highest status, mainly monks and royal families, big nobles, Kshatriyas are small nobles, generals, etc., Vaishyas are mainly businessmen and craftsmen, and Sudras are captives, criminals, and poor people... "Situ Changfeng explained the situation of Tianzhu to them carefully.

"I'll go! They did this, but no one rebelled!" Hearing the privileges of Brahmins, such as the right of the first night, Sun Xiaohu and the others couldn't help but say in amazement.

You must know that in the Central Plains, thousands of years ago, no one dared to do this. Even if Li Shimin did this, people would fight against him every minute.

"Therefore, Brahmins and Kshatriyas are all slaves and cannot be turned over forever. We must raise the banner of liberating Vaisyas and Sudras, and publicize the benefits of Tang Dynasty among ordinary people." Situ Changfeng said, While taking out a castrated version of the Great Tang Civilian System, he handed it to Sun Xiaohu and Feng Zhidai.

The population of Tianzhu was originally used for farming. Of course, it is impossible for them to immediately enjoy the treatment of the original people of the Tang Dynasty.

This can also reflect the benefits and create a sense of identity and superiority for those who join Datang first, and strengthen their sense of belonging.

As for whether other people can understand, Situ Changfeng doesn't care, and he doesn't have the energy and obligation to explain to everyone, unless it is someone close to him, anyway, just follow his plan.

"Understood! You must follow the general's instructions." After reading, Feng Zhidai said with his hands in hand.

"Craftsmen want preferential treatment. They must tell those tribal soldiers not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. All harvests will be handed over. Then the court will get [-]%, the soldiers will get [-]%, the generals will get [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​will be rewarded for the outstanding ones." Situ Changfeng emphasize again.

"Here!" Regarding Situ Changfeng's arrangement, everyone had no opinion at all. Now anyone with a little foresight knows that the most important things are manpower, mines, common people, and nobles' collections, but they are nothing.

"Hehe, don't underestimate Tianzhu, those temples built by monks don't have too many gold and precious stones." Situ Changfeng said with a smile.

"Yeah, well, after Nanzhao passed, the same happened with Piao and other small countries. Last time I brought back dozens of pure gold Buddha statues for His Majesty." Sun Xiaohu agreed, nodding his head like a chicken eating rice.
