Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Yunguo South County, Yangon Prefecture.

Although the seaside city in front of me is a prefectural city, it doesn't look like a prosperous city, especially the city is cramped and the walls are short, compared to other cities in Yunguo, it looks very shabby!
But speaking of it, it can't be blamed.Ten years ago, this Yangon Mansion was still called "Dagon" city, but it was the capital of a small country called "Gongbang" founded by the Meng clan of the Nanban.

Although the country is small, it is quite rich.Especially in the plains near the capital, the terrain is flat and fertile, taking advantage of fishing and salt, and even rich in gold and precious stones.

Being so rich, but not having enough strength to protect himself, naturally attracts people's attention.

When Wang Xiao was in power, he sent soldiers and horses from Yunguo to destroy the country, take all of its territory, remove its people, and set up prefectures and counties under Nanjun.

From then on until Xiao Cheng came to power, in order to win over the Ailao clan, he allowed the people of the Ailao clan to recuperate in this sparsely populated and rather barren land of Nanjun.

Now in Yangon City, there are nearly 10 people from the Ailao people in the city, plus the poor people from the Yun Kingdom who were relocated, and the people from the six counties in the southwest of the Xia Kingdom who were forced by the military chaos and plague.

This former capital city of a small country has finally returned to its original population, and is even more prosperous!

On the pier, many young and strong gathered in twos and threes on the pier.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, this Yangon Prefecture is facing the sea and has a marine terminal.During the slack season, the young and strong men who have nothing to do will gather here to help the merchant ships carry goods, which can be regarded as earning some extra money.

Among these people, some were dressed by ordinary people from the Central Plains, and some were dressed in Ailao costumes.Each speaks Mandarin with an accent, chatting casually with each other.

An older man first sighed, smacked his lips and said:

"The number of boats coming to Yangon this year is much less than in previous years! If it wasn't for the fact that the fields have started to produce in the past two years, otherwise this year should be more urgent."

"We are fighting. It is said that our Dayun navy has already occupied Leizhou, and Xia Kingdom's merchant ships are not allowed to pass through. Naturally, there are many fewer merchant ships!" A middle-aged old man of the Ailao clan continued.

"Leizhou, what is that place?" The person next to him interrupted casually.

For ordinary people like them, if they have never been out of Fucheng, how do they know where Leizhou is?
"Leizhou is...in the east, right? I don't know, but when my second boy came back to visit relatives, I heard him mention it. Anyway, Xia Guo is now beaten to the ground by us."

The middle-aged man of the Ailao clan who spoke, his tone became a little more serious when he mentioned his second son.Immediately, he glanced at everyone around him, revealing a bit of showing off.

The people next to him have long been used to his pretentious showing off, so they took advantage of the opportunity to compliment him, saying:
"The second boy of his family is amazing. He is serving in the army now, and now he is a Dubo. The future is boundless!"

"Amazing! Your second boy is so young, he might even be a captain or a general in the future!"

This Ailao man couldn't help grinning when he heard everyone praise his proudest second son.She wanted to be humble, but couldn't hide the joy in her heart.

...

After complimenting for a while, everyone's topic naturally shifted to other topics.

"Hey, these Xia people just can't figure it out! Our holy emperor is in court, and he always comes to provoke our big cloud!"

"Who says it's not! Xia people, you are really stupid."

"Hey, you are not from Jiangyang County, you are also from Xia Guo, why did you scold yourself?"

The person who was being teased suddenly lost his temper at this moment, almost jumped up on the spot, and said excitedly:
"Bah, you're only from the Xia Kingdom! Those officials in the Xia Kingdom didn't treat us as human beings, and immediately watched us fend for ourselves. Only His Majesty cared about us poor people and gave us a way to survive... In short , whoever wants to be a member of the Xia Kingdom should go, my family is not anyway!"

At the beginning, the people in the six southwestern counties were first looted by Jiangmen rebels, and then devastated by the plague, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

At that time, the Xia Kingdom court had already lost its low-level administrative ability, and could only sit back and watch the people fend for themselves.

Naturally, the common people don't understand these twists and turns, they only know that the officials of the Xia Kingdom sit idly by and feel hatred in their hearts.All I know is that His Majesty the Emperor Yun took the initiative and spent a lot of material and energy to accommodate them.

"Okay, well said!"

These words immediately aroused the applause of many people.

This South County is just a "county" in name.But in fact, it is a collection of several small southern countries. The territory is vast, but it is wild and poor. It has been the exile of Yun Kingdom before.

Logically speaking, Nanjun is full of criminals and criminals who came from exile and have resentment in their hearts.Xiao Cheng, the current His Majesty the Emperor of Yun, and the reputation and prestige of the court of the Kingdom of Yun will not be very good here.

But since Xiao Cheng came to power, all the Ailao people who had been trapped in the mountains for hundreds of years, the desperate people in the six southwest counties, and the impoverished people in the Yun Kingdom were all sent to Nanjun for proper resettlement.

Construct water conservancy, light corvee and low tax, and renovate acres of land.Grain, cattle, medical care, all provided...

Under Xiao Cheng's exhortation and the local government's best efforts, in just two or three years, Nanjun has been thriving.

In the eyes of some people, Nanjun is not good at all.But for the people who have no way to live, it is today's emperor who takes pity on them and gives them a place to live and work again.

In this way, how can the local people not be grateful for the holy grace of today's son?
It can be said that in terms of people's hearts, among the prefectures in the territory of Yunguo, there are probably not many places that can compare with this Nanjun!

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Sign In to God"

And when everyone was chatting in detail, they suddenly heard someone shouting:

"Look, the boat is coming!"

The people chatting in detail on the pier suddenly looked up.

In the distance, on the western sea surface, several ships loomed faintly, heading towards Yangon Mansion.

And as the ships above the sea got closer, someone said in surprise:
"Hey, these ships look a little different..."

When everyone looked again, they saw four or five seagoing ships in the distance, not much different from the Central Plains ships.

The most astonishing thing is that there is a flag flying above these ships.

...

Those with sharp eyes can already see clearly that the golden brocade flag is embroidered with the pattern of cloud and dragon soaring to the sky, which is the cloud dragon flag that symbolizes the Dayun Kingdom!

"It's the Yunlong flag of our big cloud!"

"This is the official ship of the imperial court..."

At this time, among the fleet that was about to sail into the wharf, Xuance, the king of the Ministry of Rites, led the envoys to the various countries in Tianzhu. It took nearly a year and after several trials, they finally returned from Tianzhu. return!
Seeing the same Yunlong flag hanging on the pier ahead, all the members of the mission who had been away from Yunguo for a long time all had red eyes and excited expressions.

Even Wang Xuance couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief at this time, with a relaxed look on his face.

Among the missions, there were several envoys from Tianzhu countries, as well as a dozen monks from Tianzhu, who came together.

At this time, these people seemed a little strange looking at Yangon City in the distance.

The leading Indian monk looked at Wang Xuance strangely and asked:

"Master Wang, is Dagon City ahead?"

The person who spoke was the Tianzhu monk Analu who went to Zhongqing City to ask Xiao Cheng for help on behalf of the Tianzhu Buddhist sect!
Hearing Anaru's question, Wang Xuance nodded slightly, and said:

"This is its previous name. Now, this is my Yangon Mansion in Yunnan County."

Analyud heard the words, nodded slightly, and then asked:
"The poor monk heard that the former king of Gongbang believed in my Buddhism and built a pagoda with a height of several tens of feet. It was decorated with gold leaf and hung gold and silver bells. The pagoda is a wonder. Now I am not far from Yangon City, why didn't I see this pagoda?"

The Shweda Light Pagoda in Yangon City has a good reputation among Buddhism and can be called a landmark building.

At this time, all the Tianzhu people didn't see it, so they were naturally curious, and even wondered if they lost their way on the sea and went to the wrong place!

Hearing Anaru's question, Wang Xuance laughed lightly, nodded and said:
"That's right, there is a Shwe Daguang Pagoda in the city of Yangon. Even the word 'Yangon' in Yangon Mansion is derived from this pagoda."

Hearing Wang Xuance's words, all the monks from India suddenly showed excitement and curiosity.

They couldn't help but want to take a look at this famous pagoda, known as the most luxurious Buddhist pagoda.

But at this time, Wang Xuance paused slightly, shook his head and said:
"It's a pity that when the Gongbang Kingdom was destroyed, some local leaders called on the local people under this pagoda that symbolized the Gongbang Kingdom to resist our Dayun Heavenly Soldiers."

Having said that, Wang Xuance's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice:
"Disobey the heart of my Great Cloud Heavenly Soldiers, and offend the leading generals. Immediately order to demolish this Ruida Light Pagoda!"

"The tower is destroyed, the country is destroyed, the people are eliminated, and Nanjun is settled!"

With just a few words, Dayun's unstoppable and domineering power to sweep across the countries has been revealed without a doubt.

And when Wang Xuance's cold words reached the ears of the envoys from Tianzhu, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood emerged before their eyes, a tragic scene.

It made them feel cold in their hearts, their bodies trembled, and they lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look directly into Wang Xuance's eyes.The chest was even more dull, as if he couldn't breathe.

...

But the next moment, Wang Xuance suddenly laughed twice, changed the topic, and said:
"Okay, so far, although we have set foot on the border of our Dayun Kingdom, there is still some distance from the capital Zhongqing City. Everyone, make a little preparation and rest for a day in Yangon City tonight before setting off."

The solemn and heavy power just now dissipated immediately, as if nothing had happened.

But all the envoys from Tianzhu knew clearly that the power that made them dare not resist just now really existed officially.

Facing Wang Xuance, how dare these people say anything more at this time?Naturally trembling and startled, one after another responded.
-

On the Mobei Grassland.

The grass is green, spreading to the end of the field of vision.The north wind is blowing, pushing down the grass, and contrasting with the blue sky, it immediately makes people feel free to gallop!
At this time, I heard the sound of roaring horseshoes stamping on the ground.

More than a thousand prairie cavalry came galloping at this time.The army is powerful, and it looks like a murderous spirit. At first glance, it looks like an elite army, and I am afraid that it is not inferior to the elite tiger division army that is directly under the Turkic Khan in the Megatron Grassland!
Since the Xia army defeated the Turkic army in the Battle of Zaumend half a year ago, it has been a long time since such a high-moralized and powerful army has appeared on the grassland!
The leader of this thousand cavalry suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, and asked the guide beside him:

"How long will it take to reach the pasture of the Uighur Ministry?"

"Go back to Khan, and gallop forward for two days, and you will be able to see the Uighur tribe." The guide quickly replied.

The leader is a handsome Turkic man with a calm demeanor.

And the few warriors who followed him were also outstanding, and they were so brave that people dare not look directly at them.

At this time, the only one who appeared on the Mobei Grassland with such an elite army and led so many brave men was ordered by Xiao Cheng to come here when the Turkic royal court was weak. Gather Ashinasheer from all parts of the grassland!

Ashinasheer, hearing what the guide said, nodded slightly, then turned his horse's head, looked at the four brave prairie men beside him, cupped his hands in the direction of Zhongqing City, and said in a deep voice:
"I am following His Majesty's order to come back to the grassland from thousands of miles away, just to gather the power of the grassland and use it for His Majesty!"

"The Uighur tribe in front is the first tribe we want to conquer for Your Majesty! You are His Majesty's eagles, show your bravery and eradicate those who do not submit!"

Borhu, Muhuali, Bormu, and Chilaowen are the fierce generals under the command of Genghis Khan Temujin in history. Together with Temujin, they founded the huge Mongolian Empire. Whether it is ability or spirit, All are outstanding.

Hearing Ashinasheer's words at this time, the four people's chests were full of energy and blood, their expressions were excited, they stroked their chests and saluted, and shouted one after another:

"If anyone disobeys His Majesty, I, Bormu, will kill them all, leaving no one behind!"

"I ask for orders to lead the troops, to charge ahead, to publicize His Majesty's power and make the enemy feel terrified!"

"Please Dubu Khan give the order, I, Chi Laowen, would like to fight to the death."

Ashinasheer heard the words, and immediately said:
"Bormu, I order you to be the vanguard. Lead two hundred soldiers and horses. As the vanguard, charge ahead."

"Follow Khan's order!"

"Borhu, Chi Laowen! You two each lead two hundred soldiers and horses, as the left and right wings, outflanking the two sides of the Uighurs."

"I'll obey!"

"Mu Huali, you follow me to sit in the central army, and the forward, left and right wings are all at your disposal!"

"Yes."

Ashinasheer stood upright on the horse and shouted sharply:

"Be the whip of the emperor, whip the grasslands, to show your majesty's majesty!"

The four looked dignified and shouted in unison:
"I would like to die for His Majesty!"
