Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 746
The Lord of Silla realized the problem, and by the time the newspaper ban was imposed, it was already too late.

The printing machine is actually not very technically difficult. It belongs to the technology that can be completed by piercing the window paper.

Although the Science and Technology Trade Department of Datang had included the printing presses in the embargoed export list, the results were not great, and the sanctions on printing press exports were soon abandoned.

However, special waterproof inks are still on the export embargo list, because the Ministry of Households has been considering the implementation of the banknote system, and special inks are important raw materials for printing money and special tickets.

Newspapers were banned in Silla, but the newspapers sold on the surface were squeezed underground. These underground printing houses simply didn't want money and started distributing newspapers for free.

As for the place of Silla, because of the monopoly of the real nobles, there is no room for ordinary poor families to rise.

Newspaper editor is also a profession that few scholars in China can engage in.

Before the newspaper ban was enforced, these contributors and editors could still survive with their manuscript fees and wages, but since the newspaper ban, several newspapers have gone underground and naturally have no advertising revenue, and the articles in the newspapers have become more sharp and provocative .

"Silla New Talk" takes Silla North Province as an example, and keeps writing about the good days after Silla North Province was merged into the Tang Dynasty.

The remarks in "Silla Xinshuo" are not the most intense, but "Wuzhou Shilun" is even more intense.

Wuzhou (Gwangju) was originally the territory of Goguryeo, and it was once ruled by the Tang Dynasty as a county. In "Wuzhou Shilun", it was pointed out that Silla was originally a small regime in the south, and it was not the legal principle of the people of Wuzhou. The ruler, Wuzhou even demanded to be merged into Datang immediately and become a county of Datang.

With all kinds of extreme remarks appearing in underground newspapers, the old Silla court finally realized that it would really become a puppet regime no matter how it went on.

However, the long-term autocratic rule made the Silla court think of the simplest solution. This time, the Silla court once again issued an order to destroy the academies in Silla.

This time, the perverse behavior of the Silla court completely offended all the scholars.

For these scholars studying in the Tang Dynasty, the academy was the only decent job they had after returning to Silla.

Although the salary of teaching in the academy is only subsistence, being a teacher is a high-status job and will be respected by the villagers.

Otherwise, if you don't want to be an official, are you really going to be the accountant for those big businessmen?

The order to destroy the academies reached the grassroots, and it was even more difficult for the grassroots of Silla to do so.

An academy like Chun Zuohuan is no longer just an academy, but a super group that integrates an academy, a collective farm, a dock workers' association, and a newspaper office.

While raising his reputation among the people, Quan Zuohuan selected elites for training in the countryside and on the wharf in Incheon, organized these farmers and dock workers to form various associations, and even took in some desperadoes who opposed the Silla imperial court. He was no longer a grassroots yamen Dahao who can fight.

And because Quan Zuohuan often criticizes the Silla court under his real name in newspapers, and often speaks for the people, many grassroots officials are his admirers.

When the county magistrate of Silla received the order, he felt that his butt was sitting on a volcano.

The county magistrate felt even more terrified when he thought that he was the one who applied for the first issue of "Xilla Xinshuo". If Quan Zuohuan was really caught, he might be implicated too.

Without doing anything, the county magistrate simply gave up his official position and ran back to his hometown.

Now the Silla court is even more frightened. They told you to destroy the academy, and you all ran away if you didn’t dare to do it. Then those guys like Quan Zuohuan are no ordinary academy teachers. They must be rebels, and they must punch hard!

The Silla court simply mobilized the army, preparing to wipe out Quan Zuohuan's academy.

The Silla court sent troops, but they forgot that South Silla had not fought a war for many years.

There was no war for a long time, and corruption was serious in the Silla army. The generals were all fat and round, and they treated soldiers as slaves on weekdays. The army was not loyal to the Silla court at all.

In other words, it is strange to be loyal to such an imperial court. There are quite a few real bone nobles in Silla, and the number of nobles who have reproduced peacefully for a hundred years is even more terrifying.

This was the case in the court hall of Silla. A large number of real nobles filled every corner of the court hall. Naturally, the army would not be spared by these nobles.

Even if ordinary soldiers make great contributions, there is no possibility of promotion. Anyway, there is no hope of promotion in their lifetime, so what's the point of doing meritorious service?
There have even been many cases of being robbed of credit by superiors for meritorious service, and finally framed and ruined. There have been many cases in the past century. Silla soldiers have lowered their requirements for their superiors to the minimum. officer.

The result of this kind of army's expedition can be imagined. The army of the Silla court was about to be defeated before it entered Incheon.

And the real bone noble officers who commanded the army were still reciting poems in the barracks, and they even brought Jincheng's wives and concubines to fight.

Outside Incheon Port, Quan Zuohuan led the army he had trained and stared at the official road ahead.

In fact, Quan Zuohuan's men didn't have much training. Before a month or two, they were all farmers and dock workers.

The Tang Dongchang Banzi who was in charge of training Quan Zuohuan was depressed. These guys couldn't even tell the left from the right, whether they could fight or not.

But it has come to this point, Quan Zuohuan can only bet all his wealth and life.

This war, known as the Incheon Great Victory in the history of Silla, was actually the scale of the village war.

It can be said that the Silla army was about to collapse at the first touch, and without even a decent resistance, they dropped their weapons and a large amount of luggage and fled.

Those officers with fat stomachs were not as fast as the soldiers, and all of them became Quan Zuohuan's captives.

Quan Zuohuan was often bullied by these nobles on weekdays. He simply chopped off their heads and hung them on the wharf in Incheon.

Now the small court of Silla was terrified, and once again recruited troops to put down the rebel Quan Zuohuan.

However, at this time, with the connection of academies from all over the country, Wuzhou and other Silla states rose up one after another and began to denounce the Silla court.

By August of the third year of Zhide, only the capital, Jincheng, remained under the control of the Silla court.

At this time, Datang's consolation envoy in Silla came forward and called on the rebels from all over the country to hold talks with the small court of Silla.

Although Quan Zuohuan and other leaders of the rebel army did not want to talk, they did not dare to disobey the orders of the Tang supporters behind them, so they could only reluctantly go to Jincheng for talks.

Under the mediation of the Tang Dynasty, in September of the third year of Zhide, all parts of Silla announced the cessation of rebellion, but the Silla court also reorganized.

The original king of Silla abdicated and passed the throne to his 11-year-old son.The Silla king originally revered Buddhism, and after he abdicated, he voluntarily went to the Tang Dynasty to practice Buddhism.

Abolish the bone product system, burn the bone product roster, and no longer determine official positions by blood.

Silla held imperial examinations, but due to the low style of writing in Silla, all scholars who took part in the imperial examinations must have studied abroad in the Tang Dynasty, and those who did not have overseas study experience were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.

Quan Zuohuan and the leaders of the rebel army temporarily served as cabinet ministers and temporarily controlled the government of Silla.

After Silla entered a new era, Balhae, which had a close trade with Silla, was very familiar with it, and immediately submitted a form to the Tang court, requesting that the Tang Dynasty be included.

Li Tan, the crown prince of Jianguo, admired the Lord of Bohai's knowledge of current affairs very much, and built a magnificent mansion in Chang'an for the Lord of Bohai to live in. He even kept the lineage of the Lord of Bohai, allowing his family to continue to be dukes in Bohai.

The four barbarians are obedient, and Li Tan's reputation has reached its peak.
