Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2457 For Tubo plan
"Give slaves a chance to serve their country."

Hearing this, Songtsan Gampo's expression moved slightly. Although it was only a short sentence, he already understood the meaning of the sentence.

What they practiced in Tubo was the slave system. Many dignitaries and others had a lot of slaves in their hands. These slaves were the property of those slave owners and could be traded at will.

And these slaves are also human beings, and they were treated as slaves, so the population of Tubo decreased a lot.

If these slaves could be given a chance, these slaves would definitely have to make military exploits in order to be human, and their killing might be crazy.

As long as these slaves can be recruited into the army, there will be no problem in doubling their Tubo troops.

But there is a problem. These slaves are the property of the slave owners. If you let them be exiled, it is tantamount to depriving those slave owners of their property and affecting the interests of the slave owners. Are they willing to let it go?

Faced with this situation, Songtsan Gampo needs to think carefully, whether to choose to offend those slave owners, or to ensure that Tubo will not be wiped out by the Tang army.

This seems to be nothing to consider. He has already offended many people, and he doesn't care about offending some more people.

If Tubo can be kept, no matter how many people he offends, he will have no problem.

And after the slave problem is resolved, his Tubo will surely be able to go further and further.

The reason why Datang has such a large population is because they have no slaves.

If this matter is really done, it will be very helpful to the current and future Tubo.

Songtsan Gampo glanced at Erbao, neither of them said any other nonsense, but they already understood a lot of things they didn't say.

"Okay, you can go down."

Hearing this, Erbao knew that Songtsan Gampo was tempted, so he didn't hesitate, and quickly retreated.

After Erbao left, Songtsan Gampo called several important ministers in the court.

These people have a high status in Tubo, and they all support Songtsan Gampo.

After these people came, they were a little curious.

"Zanpu, why did you ask us to come?"

Everyone looked at Songtsan Gampo, and Songtsan Gampo preached: "The prime minister is going to persuade other tribes to join forces against the Tang Dynasty. There is no news so far. Even if they agree to fight, I don't know if it will be delayed. You know the strength of the Tang army." Yes, breaking the city may be within a day or two, pin all your hopes on them, it is a little risky, what if the conditions they want are too harsh?"

Hearing this, everyone didn't think there was any problem with this, because it was indeed the case, they couldn't pin all their hopes on those tribal leaders, they had to find other ways.

"So, I decided to use a group of slaves. If those slaves are willing to serve in the army, as long as they make military achievements, they can all become free people. Not only can they themselves become free people, but their family members can also become free people."

After saying this, the whole room was suddenly silent and very silent. Those important ministers suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. What, their Zanpu actually wanted to abolish slavery?

Although some restrictions are given, this is the abolition of slavery.

Is this okay?

They suddenly felt a little heartbroken and wanted to object.

You know, they are also rich and powerful in Tubo, they are also slave owners, and they have a lot of slaves in their hands.

If the imperial court wants to abolish slavery, their losses will be serious, especially serious. This behavior has already touched their interests.

They finally understood why Songtsan Gampo asked them to come here. They are considered great slave owners. If they did not object, it would be much easier to proceed with this matter.

And now that this is the case, can they object?

Tubo has reached the time of life and death. If Tubo dies, everything they have now will cease to exist.

But if Tubo gets through this difficulty, they will lose those slaves.

They are a bit tangled and don't know what to choose.

The room was still silent. Songtsan Gampo didn't seem to be in a hurry. After he finished speaking, he gave them some silence, but it wasn't too long.

"My dear friends, what do you think about this?"

When he said this, Songtsan Gampo's eyes showed a murderous look. They all knew Songtsan Gampo very well. Under normal circumstances, when he showed such eyes, it meant that he was murderous. Heart, if anyone blocks his affairs, there will only be one consequence, death.

They had no doubt that if they refused, they might not live without this room.

Several people looked at each other, and then someone stood up: "Zanpu, for the sake of Tubo, I think this method is feasible."

No matter what, let's get through this difficulty first, as long as Tubo can save it, it's not impossible to get slaves again in the future. Now, let's agree first.

After the official agreed, even though the other officials were particularly unhappy, they quickly followed suit.

"Zanpu, I also think this method is good. If you can use slaves, then there will be no problem in doubling the troops in the royal city. At that time, there will be 20 troops. Isn't it easy to stop the Tang army?"

"Extremely, extremely, if the prime minister persuades those tribal leaders, we will have 30 soldiers and horses, and 30 soldiers and horses will repel the Tang army easily."

"The minister also agrees."

"........."

A group of people were muttering non-stop, Songtsan Gambo nodded in satisfaction when he saw them like this, and said: "If you can support this matter, there will be no problems if this matter is completed. If Tubo can overcome this difficulty, you will all be my Tubo heroes, and I will never treat you badly."

Let them bear the pressure to support the abolition of slavery, Songtsen Gampo must give them some benefits, otherwise they must be unhappy.

When everyone heard this, they felt a little more balanced.

"Zan Pu said seriously, this is what we should do."

After they said this, they retreated one after another. Songtsan Gampo finally breathed a sigh of relief. If this matter is a success, Tubo will be able to save it, right?

He didn't believe that the Tang army was really so powerful that he could break through his 20 soldiers and horses in the Tubo royal city.

"Qin Tian, ​​Ben Zanpu has always lost to you, but this time, Ben Zanpu must win. No one should try to destroy this Tubo." Songtsan Gampo held tightly own fist.
