Since late September, leaders of the Tibetan tribes from far and near have been coming one after another. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)
Shao Shude looked at the list of leaders presented by the ministers and felt that it was terrible, so he asked them to add the original text in Tubo.
What about "burning a Zhuduo", "Hunjia Shabo", "retreating Hun camp", "Qingzi novice monk", etc., see what you can do, and be honest and elegant when translating!
After reading the original text in Tubo, Shao Shude probably understood.
The two men, Hunjia Shabo and Tuihun Yingtian, were obviously Tuyuhun tribe leaders, but they had lived in the Helong area for a long time, and their appearance became increasingly similar to those of Tubo, so officials were too lazy to distinguish them.
"This Hun family Shabo..." Shao Shude opened his mouth and heard the name translated by the ministers. He only heard him say: "From Haixi? Tuyuhun pastoral land in the former Tang Dynasty?"
Secretary Lang Cuimiao, who is knowledgeable about ancient times, immediately said after hearing this: "During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, this place was the territory of the Tuyuhun Kingdom and was subject to the Tang Dynasty. During the Longshuo period of Gaozong, it was attacked and destroyed by the Tubo, and Lacheng Delun (Jiedu Envoy) was established. After the Xuanzong Dynasty, and
Like Khotan, it gradually got rid of Tibetan control. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, because His Majesty moved Dangxiang from the northern part of the Guan Dynasty to Qinghai, various tribes raided and looted very frequently. The Tuyuhun in Qinghai could not bear the disturbance, and some of them moved far west and were merged with the Tuyuhun in the Haixi."
"I see." Shao Shude nodded and said, "This man claims to command a hundred thousand accounts. How possible is it?"
"Your Majesty, one hundred thousand accounts is definitely a boast, one hundred thousand accounts is still somewhat possible." Yang Yao said.
"Most of the population of 100,000 is also called 100,000, at most 70,000 or 80,000. I estimate that they were claiming 100,000. Before leaving, they wanted to increase their momentum and changed the 100,000 to 100,000. Haha, it was a little trick." Shao Shude.
said.
He already has experience in this area.
The Rehai Turks were originally known as "200,000 tents" to the outside world, but after a rough inspection, it was found to be at most 50,000 tents and 200,000 people. Therefore, it is useless to play word games in front of him. How can the place in Haixi be virtuous and support people?
One hundred thousand accounts, four to five million people?
"There are also Shao'azhuduo from the Tongji tribe. What do they think, do they want to return north together?" Shao Shude asked again.
Strictly speaking, the Tongji people are a mixed tribe.
In the Tubo era, Tongjia was a kind of service, mainly serving as scouts in the army. It was first established in the Qingtang area, and later moved with the advancement and retreat of the Tubo front. Before Xuanzong regained Hehuang, they also appeared in Hexi -
—Even now, the Tongjia tribe still exists in the Liangzhou and Shazhou areas.
But there is more than one ethnic group within this tribe. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a record of Sogdian cheek-piercing in the Tubo army. It was only because Tubo organized all the scouts into one tribe and centralized management that they were allowed to have cheek-piercing.
The face of the tribe is just showing to others.
After Daxia took over the Qinghai area, the nearby Tongjia tribe continued to retreat southward. Recently, they have been active in the Goluo area of later generations. Their life seems not to be very good, so they have the intention of surrendering.
In the final analysis, Tubo was still in decline and was no longer a viable force.
At the meeting of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty itself was in such a mess that a large number of Tubo tribes still surrendered. Later, Khotan and other vassal states were freed from control, but the Tubo could not conquer it. It can be seen that they were divided and preferred to tear apart internally.
Forced, I no longer have the ability to invest my energy outside.
On this occasion, it is normal for tribes with some ideas to find new leaders. Otherwise, are they waiting to be plundered by Daxia's party lackey tribes?
"Your Majesty, some Tongji people are already scattered in Hexi. It seems unnecessary to burn Azhuduo and ask to return to the north." Yang Yao said.
"Have the Hun family Shabo and the Hun camp established a country?" Shao Shude asked.
"No."
"The country has not yet been established -" Shao Shude glanced at Brother Tie and his younger brother Yansun who were standing in the corner of the hall, and said: "Build the Haixi Governor's Mansion and Haixi Prefecture (the state's territory was roughly the Haixi Prefecture of Qinghai in later generations).
Shabo of the Hun family was named 'Shao Zhongchen' and became the governor of Haixi; when he retreated to the Hun camp, he was named 'Shao Guozhen' and was appointed the governor of Haixi Prefecture, ordering him to guard the territory and become a vassal of Daxia."
"According to the decree." This was another area managed by Beiya Jisi, and Yang Yao immediately agreed.
"As for burning Adhu Duo's request, we will discuss it tomorrow." When he said this, Shao Shude looked at Brother Tie and Yan Sun again.
They are the direct descendants of the last Tibetan Zanpu.
During these days, Shao Shude finally understood their twists and turns of life.
After Langdama was assassinated by a monk, the nobles were divided into two factions. They supported the princes Yundan (not Langdama's biological son, but the nephew of the concubine Wei) and Ersong (Langdama's posthumous son) to fight for the throne.
.
This fight lasts for 23 years.
Before they understood it, the people could no longer bear it, and large-scale serf uprisings broke out one after another.
The rebel army was once so powerful that they captured Shannan Qiongjie, excavated the Zanpu tombs of past dynasties, took out the burial objects and divided them up...
About twenty years ago, due to its relatively weak strength, Ersong lost ground one after another and was forced to flee to Tibet.
In the fifth year of Jianji (905), Esong died, and his son Bekzan succeeded to the throne, with Zhongbalaz as the capital.
He had two sons, the eldest son Tashi Zibabai and the second son Jide Nyimagun.
For unknown reasons, Tashi Zibabai's two sons, Wei De and Jide, suddenly fled and first went to the Zhongyun Kingdom in the north. Then they couldn't stay any longer and fled to Gaochang, where they settled down.
Wade is Brother Tie, who is 23 years old this year; the third son named Jide is called Yansun in Gaochang, and he is 17 years old this year.
These two people are valuable, Shao Shude knows it very well.
The Tubo tribes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau may not be willing to listen to Daxia, but the descendants of Zanpu are still very appealing. They can do things that the court cannot do, especially with support.
And when Shao Shude's attention was focused on them, the two of them raised their heads almost at the same time, their eyes were burning, and they stopped talking.
Shao Shude had not yet made up his mind and was not inclined to interfere in plateau affairs, so he left the hall without giving them any response.
The two looked away in disappointment, and then looked at each other warily.
****
On September 30th, more and more leaders arrived in Qingtang, and the most eye-catching ones were two groups.
The first group are naturally those who have been canonized and given names.
Dafu Zhongyun King Shao Xianzhong (Duierji) held his head high and his chest high, and he was extremely proud.
Behind him were four of the nine prime ministers, as well as Taishi, Taifu, General and other officials. It is hard to imagine that a city-state with a population of 30,000 actually has so many officials.
Today the saint gave a feast on the grassland outside the city.
After Shao Xianzhong took his seat, he quickly found Tie Ge (Vide) and Yansun (Jide) sitting next to him, and was immediately startled.
"Two princes..." Shao Xianzhong looked a little embarrassed. He just heard him say: "What happened last time is really not my fault. If someone wants to take you, I can't resist it."
Brother Tie and Yansun's faces darkened.
Although their father, Tashi Zibabai, was the eldest son, he was born to the second concubine. Their uncle, Jide Nyimagon, was the son of the principal concubine and was the heir to the Eight Classics. The relationship with his father was very tense and often even violent.
The said thing happened.
It was precisely because of this situation that they fled in a hurry, leaving only the eldest brother Bai De to help his father.
I originally thought that I would go back when the storm was over, but I was arrested by the Xia people who occupied Gaochang. I really wanted to cry without tears.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Brother Tie was old and relatively mature. He quickly calculated the gains and losses and said, "Zhongbalaz, alas! There may be places where we can rely on King Zhongyun in the future."
Shao Xianzhong said a few words modestly, but he understood in his heart.
Bekzan's life was difficult, and he knew it.
The serf uprising that swept across Tubo was not completely over.
Although some of the uprising leaders transformed into new aristocrats and formed separate factions, there were still many troops moving around.
For example, because they were driven to the top of the mountain to dig canals, the group of slave soldiers who rebelled angrily and shouted "It's difficult to cut off the mountain, but it's easy to cut off the head" has already begun to move towards Zhongbalaz. Can Bachzan withstand it?
, it’s hard to say.
He would not be surprised at all if Bakzan was ultimately defeated under the attack of the serf rebels and Chi Degunnian, a descendant of Yundan from Luoxue.
Brother Tie, it's not necessarily a bad thing for brothers Yansun to escape outside.
However, the best way is to return to eastern Tubo.
The descendants of Yun Dan did not control the area, and the rebel army also left far away. Most of the people who control the area now are the local officials and nobles of the original Tubo.
To be honest, among the two sons of Dharma Zampu, who is more inclined to be a local official or a noble? It is obviously Ersong.
Before Zamp was assassinated, the second concubine was pregnant. The principal concubine was so angry that she directly took a child from her brother and said that she had given birth too. Isn't this child's play?
What's more, many nobles rumored that the princess was actually the son of a beggar, which was even more outrageous.
Everyone has their own judgment. Although the concubine's mother's family is powerful and her brother is the prime minister, many people support Yundan out of conscience, but Yundan is really not the flesh and blood of Bodhidharma Zampu, and this fact must be acknowledged.
"I said -" Shao Xianzhong took a bite of the food, glanced at the saint who was joking with the chiefs who came to pay homage, and whispered: "If you two want to succeed, you have to fall in love with the saint of Daxia."
"Is there any way?" Brother Tie's eyes lit up and he lowered his voice.
Yansun also looked over, his breathing slightly rapid.
"Convince the saint to send troops to escort you back." Shao Xianzhong said: "After you go back, it will depend on your ability. Whether you can convince those officials and nobles to support you is the key to your success."
Brother Tie thought silently, his expression changing.
Yansun swallowed subconsciously.
"Will the Great Xia Sage agree?" Brother Tie asked.
"Then it depends on whether you are valuable or not." Shao Xianzhong smiled and said: "The saint conquered the Western Regions, Gaochang, and Karasha fell one after another. I am not afraid of your laughter. After I heard about it, I was scared to death. Fortunately, let's go ashore now. Yes, haha."
Brother Tie and Yansun looked at each other and quickly looked away.
Brother Tie knew that his younger brother also had ambitions in this area, which made him uncomfortable. However, he was not too worried because his younger brother was only seventeen years old, which was his biggest disadvantage.
If the Great Xia Sage only supported one person to return, he would most likely choose him instead of his younger brother.
Thinking of this, I feel more at ease.
At two o'clock in the morning, the banquet finally ended. Brother Tie returned to his tent in a daze, still thinking about what Shao Xianzhong had just said.
After a while, I heard noises coming from the tent next door: my brother Yansun’s low scolding voice, and my brother-in-law Cai Bangshi’s faint cry.
There's something strange about him.
Soon, the scolding and crying stopped.
Not long after, rustling sounds were heard, as well as the sound of footsteps that were deliberately muted.
Ignoring the surprised looks of his wife and children, Brother Tie quietly moved to the entrance of the tent and opened a crack, only to see his younger brother grabbing his wife's hand and disappearing into the darkness.
