The existence of Longchi Palace has greatly changed the economic structure of Anyi County, which can be seen from the lively scene in the first month of the fifth year of Dashun (894).
This place is in the wild, with beautiful scenery, including salt ponds and lush mountains and forests. However, there are really not many people, and there are no farmland or villages. It is originally a very deserted place.
It might be better if the saint lived in it. The hundreds of officials accompanying him, the concubines who served in the palace, and the guarding sergeants would all make the area around Longchi Palace crowded with businessmen and travelers, and the economy would be prosperous. It is a pity that the saint has not been here for many years.
, until a warrior came who was called "Lingzhou Shaosheng" by the ignorant Tibetan people.
His pomp seems to be no less than that of the emperor.
Longchi Palace has been continuously repaired and expanded, and it is now slightly larger than when it was first built. The space occupied by "Shao Sheng" and his family is not very large, but there are many office workers, filling various palace rooms.
They built many houses outside the city and brought their families over one after another, making the area around Longchi Palace more prosperous and lively.
"What a Longchi Palace, what a grand pomp..." Tuoba Sijing arrived at the newly built Longchi Post with more than a hundred carriages. As a result, he couldn't find a place to stay. As a last resort, he had people set up tents outside.
.
Tuoba Yichang is sixteen years old this year, and he has dozens of descendants of the Tuoba family to act as bodyguards.
His grandfather Tuoba Sigong died in the Yinshan grassland, and his father Tuoba Renyou died young. He was almost raised by Tuoba Sijing. He always regarded him as his grandfather. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and under Tuoba Sijing's instructions
He has studied Han Chinese articles and classics for ten years, and he is actually a man of literary and military skills.
In fact, he doesn't hate Shao Shude very much.
These days, warriors are fighting for territory and property. Some things are too normal. More importantly, he can't hate it.
How can you hate someone who has 200,000 troops and an area of thousands of miles? At first, he could have killed all the Tuoba clan, but he let it go lightly. Now think about it carefully, there is no way that the Tuoba clan can separate their empire.
Lingxia, it’s not a bad thing to stop this thought early.
The tribe is gone, and the Tuoba clan has now become the Tuoba clan. The descendants of several uncles who have multiplied on the grassland have come back one after another to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan. From now on, they will learn from the Linzhou Yang clan and Fengzhou Wang clan, and honestly become one
A big family in the border areas. As for the Zhe family, they have fallen so far behind them that there is no point in comparison.
"Aweng, do you want to stay here and meet the King of Lingwu County?" Tuoba Yichang, who left Xiazhou for the first time, came over and asked.
"Do you want to see him? Is he willing to see you? She is your aunt, ugh." In front of his nephew, Tuoba Sijing finally sighed and couldn't help but complain a little.
Tuoba Yichang's face also turned ugly. He was raised in his uncle's house since he was a child, and his aunt was very kind to him. She was almost half a mother to him who lost his parents when he was young. But for so many years, Zhe's eldest wife has always been
I refused to let my aunt in, and now I have become a nun. How can I bear this?
Tuoba Yichang suddenly wanted to join the army. Wei Dingli, the envoy of the Guzhen Army, was from the Xiangwei Mu tribe of the Pingxia Party. He had been married to the Tuoba family for generations and was a vassal of their family in the past. Maybe you can beg him?
Tuoba Yichang buried this idea in his heart and planned to find an opportunity to mention it to his uncle.
After Tuoba Sijing finished complaining, he went to the motorcade to greet him.
Some family members of middle- and lower-level officials from Lingzhou came with them. It was basically a favor transaction, and the money was confiscated or only a small amount was collected.
It is impossible to do business without official support. Middle and lower-level officials are often the most troublesome and difficult to deal with. Merchants flock to them because they can earn personal favors.
The area near Longchiyi has become a large open-air tent market.
The Qiang, Tubo, Fu Mo, and Dangxiang tribesmen from the Hewei tribe, big and small, gathered here. Everyone brought more than ten Beiwei and their disciples. They had nothing to do at the moment, wrestling and playing around.
Tuoba Yichang went around and communicated in Dangxiang and Tubo, and they were able to understand each other almost 80% of the time.
"Tuoba clan? What does it have to do with Tuoba Huaiguang back then?"
"It shouldn't matter. Tuoba Huaiguang is a subordinate of Shangnuo, and he has been fighting with Lun Feire for many years. This Tuoba is from the Tuoba clan of Xiazhou."
"How do Tuoba Reconstruction compare with Tuoba Huaiguang? Haha."
The Heweifan people, of course, are mainly from the four prefectures of He, Lin, Wei, and Lan. They are different from the Qin, Cheng, Jie, Xing, and Fengfan tribes in the east, and they are also different from the Qingtang and Tang people in the west.
In their history, the names of Tuoba Huaiguang and Tuoba Huaiguang are astonishing. Is it qualified to compete with them? Even Gao Pian of Qinzhou in the Tang Dynasty was more famous than Tuoba Reconstruction.
Not to mention the descendants of Reconstruction, who are they?
"The ancestors of the Tuoba clan in Xiazhou are from the royal family of the Later Wei Dynasty. Who is Tuoba Huaiguang?" Tuoba Yichang couldn't help but argue because he was young and energetic.
The leaders of the Heweifan people laughed collectively.
Hengshan Dangxiang, like the Shatuo people, was just a lost dog during the Tubo period.
Tuoba Yichang was a little angry, but very powerless. The Tuoba family was once the co-owner of most of the tribes in Pingxia Dangxiang. Hengshan Dangxiang, Hexi Dangxiang, and Yinshan Dangxiang were also closely related to them. Maybe there was hope for great achievements?
But it's too late to say anything now. The time has passed and there is no possibility of rising.
The Tuoba clan who once established the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Tuoba clan who will establish Xixia in the future. Even after the fall of Xixia, the Tuoba clan went to Sichuan to establish the third regime - the Lawei people, "King of Western Wu", "Xixia"
"King", served as chieftain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties until the Kangxi period, about four to five hundred years.
But now there is nothing. Tuoba Yichang sighed deeply, and his thoughts of making contributions became stronger.
"You bastards are causing trouble again?" A loud thunder-like sound was remembered not far away, and the laughing leaders of the Heweifan people shut up one after another.
Tuoba Yichang looked around and saw a warrior wearing a helmet and carrying armor, slowly walking past the tent with more than ten soldiers. His fierce eyes kept scanning everyone, and everyone he saw bowed their heads.
Don't dare to look at each other.
"This is how you should be as a human being!" Tuoba Yichang was secretly excited and envious, and his desire to join the army became even stronger.
"You will receive your reward in a while. Whoever dares to cause trouble will withhold the reward. When the warriors of the tribe ask, I will see how you answer." The armored warrior threatened a few words and said: "Who makes my life difficult?
New Year, I will make it impossible for anyone to pass the New Year."
When he passed by Tuoba Yichang, he glanced twice and then left.
The sound of sighing came one after another in the field.
The Hewei Fan tribe, which had been ruled with an iron fist for many years, was not as good as the Qing Tang Dynasty. The Hexi Fan tribe was still very afraid of Lingzhou Shao Sheng.
Tuoba Yichang observed silently and found that these people did not seem to be so united and were not aligned with each other. Considering that the governor of Longyou was Xiao Yu of the Xiao family of Lanling, he knew very well the methods of these Han families.
However, divisions and disintegration occurred, and one faction fought against another. The Qiang, Tubo, and Dangxiang people were clearly divided by them, and they could never unite.
In addition, the local Shuofang Yamen and state soldiers who garrisoned the local area should have taken action several times. The Shuofang Army's local rule seemed fragile and rough, but no one could really overthrow them and replace them.
Small rebellions continue, but there are no major ones. Elite troops suppress them, organize the people into households, extract young men, and continue to consume them. In another ten years, even the small rebellions will disappear.
Tuoba Yichang was not interested in staying any longer, so he returned to the camp. Tuoba Sijing looked at him, then turned to look at the post road.
On the post road, a large group of prairie people wearing green clothes were passing silently.
There were not many of them, about a hundred or so. They were well-dressed and well-mannered. They should be the upper echelons of the grassland.
The leader was not very young, his weather-carved face was filled with perseverance, and he was holding a little girl with dark eyes in his arms, looking left and right.
"The Uighurs who went to Longchi Palace to present horses to King Lingwu." Tuoba Sijing whispered: "Li Renyu from Ganzhou, thousands of his family members were moved to Henan."
"And uncle Tuoba Renfu's tribe..." Tuoba Yichang added in his heart.
"The little girl in his arms should be Li Renmei's daughter." Tuoba Sijing sighed and said, "The Ganzhou Uighurs are going to work in Henan."
"It's not just them." Tuoba Yichang also sighed: "It seems that a war is about to break out. This time it may not be a small fight. Many people will die."
…
"Be prepared for a big war." In Longchi Palace, Shao Shude was hosting a banquet for the six inspection envoys and the two leading men from Hengshan.
The leaders of the eight major tribes, the Weicai clan, the Qibi clan, the Geshu clan, the Zhuanglang clan, the Hun clan, the Wang clan, the Yeli clan, and the Muzang clan, each rushed to Longchi Palace with dozens of followers.
According to the order, one thousand troops each will be sent out. They are still on the road and have arrived in Weibei.
"The five tribes of Yinshan have been at peace for many years. Now the Tatars and Uighurs on the grassland are not entangled with you anymore, right?" Shao Shude walked around the room with his hands behind his back.
He doesn't want others to answer him, he just wants others to submit to his will.
The Tatars, Uighurs, Xigas and even the Dangxiang tribes on the grassland are of course not very honest. In fact, they have been competing with the five tribes of Yinshan for pastures and water sources, and wars break out from time to time. But in terms of scale and intensity, they are indeed smaller than before.
Shao Shude believes that this is the contribution of his Northwest Khan.
"There is nothing going on in the grassland, and if the population grows beyond a certain number, it will not be a good thing for you." Shao Shude said: "Last year, I asked you for six thousand soldiers, and you are going to die or live?"
"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Everyone responded one after another.
"This year, I will send these one thousand people to fight Zhu Quanzhong. Many people may die. Do you have any opinions?"
"No objection! No objection!"
Shao Shude turned around, looked at these prairie men who looked rough but were cunning on the inside, and smiled: "Here comes someone!"
"Commander!" Zheng Yong came in and saluted.
The people on the grassland were startled, and subconsciously touched their waists, but their weapons had been confiscated, and they were a little panicked for a while.
"Bring your things in."
"As you command!"
The soldiers brought in many boxes and opened them one by one. The jewels and jewels immediately dazzled people's eyes.
Gold, silverware, pearls, jade, and all kinds of brocades were all copied from the houses of the generals who were purged from the river. Some of them were given to the soldiers who had made meritorious service in the battle, and the rest he planned to give to the grassland leaders.
"Don't say I sent hungry soldiers. Take these things and share them." Shao Shude said: "They are all yours. I have other preparations for the rewards of the warriors."
"Wuzi is so generous..." Nori Nori nosumi glanced at the treasure casually. In fact, he didn't care much, but he still pretended to be grateful and said.
"There is a reward for sweating, but we dare not to die for it!"
"Kill Zhu Quanzhong and make the Great Khan the emperor."
"We can build the city of Ketun in advance, snatch Zhu Quanzhong's wife and daughter, and serve the Khan day and night."
Shao Shude laughed when he heard this.
Heyang, I'm coming in.
If Zhu Quanzhong still has a fluke mentality and wants to eat Zhu Xuan so that Zhu Jin can go on a western expedition, then let's give it a try.
