Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 419 Pilot Project (1)

Farming civilization and nomadic civilization are like a pair of contradictory sides. There has never been real peace between each other. War is always the main theme. Even if there is occasional short-term peace, it is just a break between the games. It is just that the two sides are saving to solve each other. It’s nothing more than energy, the resolution of the conflict will eventually lead to war. This is the fate of the two civilizations. This is always the case. Only when one side completely overwhelms the other can the contradiction be eradicated. In Li Xian’s view, Only in the age of firearms with relatively advanced science and technology can farming civilization truly defeat the nomads and completely assimilate the nomads. Although this is the direction of Li Xian's efforts, it is obviously impossible to achieve it in a short period of time, even in his entire life , may not be able to see that scene, but Li Xian will not give up the effort that should be made, even if his hands are bloody because of it, Li Xian will not hesitate to do so.

Not avoiding blood is a necessary condition to solve the nomadic tribe, but it does not mean that the problem can be solved by hacking and killing. The reason is very simple. If everyone is killed, it will certainly solve the internal problems, but what Li Xian wants Where should human resources be found?It is obviously impossible to count on immigrants from Guanzhong. Could it be possible to let another group of tribes enter Hexi? Wouldn’t the previous bloody massacre be futile? In this sense, although things have to be done, they cannot be done indiscriminately. , there must be a pilot point before the planned plan can be pushed forward step by step. For this, Li Xian has a comprehensive consideration. The first step is to take the leader of the Sala tribe captured in the Battle of Hezhou Guth was brought out of the prison.

"Your Majesty!"

The Tang army has always hated rebels, and the two guards of the Royal Palace who escorted Ning Gusi to the hall were no exception. They kicked Ning Gusi hard. Du's legs were bent, and Ning Gusi was kicked so hard that Ning Gusi fell to the ground screaming miserably.

"Oh, forgive me, forgive me..."

After nearly two months of prison life, Ning Gusi has lost a lot of weight. Although he is not to the point where his bones are broken, his deeply sunken cheeks and bluish-white complexion are even disheveled. The hemp beard all show the hardships of prison life. The unlucky Ning Gusi has long lost his dignity as a leader in the past. Rao, while sneaking eyes at everyone in the hall, his rapidly rolling eyes were full of complex expressions, including fear, expectation, and even more cunning suspicion.

"Head up!"

As soon as he saw Ning Gusdu's wicked look, Li Xian couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart, but then again, people with this kind of character are the right candidates to implement the pilot plan For the sake of big things, such a little disgusting feeling is not a big deal. Of course, if you want him to do things obediently, you can't do it without a little wrist. This is not difficult for Li Xian. The evil spirit on Li Xian's body was already very strong, and if it released even a little bit, it would be enough to make Ning Gusi shudder.

"Ah, ah, yes, yes, my lord, spare my life, my lord, my little one, my little one..."

Ning Gu Sidu was originally secretly guessing Li Xian's identity, but when he was stimulated by the sound of drinking, he shivered suddenly, and when he felt the bloody aura coming from Li Xian, his heart immediately panicked. He dared to raise his head, but instead lay down completely on the ground, begging for mercy one after another.

"Read!"

Li Xian didn't bother to listen to Ning Gusdu's nonsense at all. He waved his hand and squeezed out a word in a cold voice.

"No! Ning Gu Sidu, male, forty-two, the leader of the Salar tribe, on September 230th in the third year of Xianheng, colluded with the Tubo bandit army, secretly sent spies [-] and three people to sneak into the city of Fanghan, in an attempt to cooperate with the inside and outside, Captured Fanghan, was spotted by our defenders of the Tang Dynasty, wiped out its spies, on September [-]th..."

As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, a personal guard standing beside him stood up, holding a thick case file in his hand, and read out Ning Gu Sidu's crimes one by one.

"Inspector Zhuang, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, how should such a criminal be dealt with?"

Li Xian didn't even look at the shivering Ning Gusi, tilted his head, and asked the new governor of Hezhou, Zhuang Mingyi, who was standing next to him, unhurriedly.

"Return to His Highness, cut off, exterminate the clan!"

Zhuang Mingyi didn't hesitate at all. As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, he had already given an answer.

"Ah, no, no, Mr. Zhuang, the younger ones are all forced, Mr. Zhuang, for the sake of our friendship for many years, you can help the younger one, and the younger one kowtows to you..."

Ning Gusi is not a hero who disregards life and death. When he heard the word "genocide", he was shocked and stunned. After a lot of acquaintances, which can be regarded as some wine and meat friendship, he suddenly knelt up, walked in front of Zhuang Mingyi on his knees, and stretched out his hands wildly, intending to hug Zhuang Mingyi's thigh.

"Hey, Lao Ning, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you. Look at what you've done this time. The crime of treason will not only kill you, but also the whole family of Sarah. , who else can help you except Your Highness."

As a member of "Ming Di", Zhuang Mingyi knew the purpose of the scene in front of him. Seeing Ning Gusi crawling over, he took a step back calmly, avoiding Ning Gusi Du hugged him, sighed, expressing his own helplessness with emotion, and at the same time, calmly pointed out Li Xian's identity.

"Your Highness? Ah, His Royal Highness the King of England, please forgive me. The little one is willing to be an ox and a horse to repay your great kindness. I implore you to show your noble hand and spare the little Manchus. You adults don't care about villains. I will give you the little ones." Kowtow, please raise your hand high, please..."

Ning Gusi can become the leader of the Salar tribe, he is not a fool, at this time, how can he not know that the mighty young man sitting at the top is the famous British King Li Xian, he is shocked, and he doesn't care about it anymore After getting close to Zhuang Mingyi, he crawled back into the hall on his knees, kowtowed a few times, and begged bitterly.

Li Xian didn't rush to speak, but just looked at Ning Gusdu coldly, his cold eyes were full of murderous intent that couldn't be concealed, Ning Gusi was flustered when he looked at Ning Gusi, his begging for mercy became lower and lower, at the end , was completely silent, and just looked at Li Xian with a terrified look on his face, with a pitiful look on his face.

"Ning Gu Sidu, you are so courageous, dare to eat inside and out, and say, what can I do to you in Tang Dynasty? An dare to hook up with Tubo bandits. Hey, do you think Gu Dao is not fast, huh?" Seeing that Ning Gusi was silent, Li Xian snorted unhurriedly, and asked in an extremely indifferent tone.

"Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, calm down. Although the small ones are deluded by ghosts, there is nothing they can do about it. The small tribe is close to Tuyuhun, and they failed to escape the plague that rampaged across the grassland. Nearly half of the cattle, sheep and horses in the tribe were lost. I really can't go on, and the younger one often seeks help from the government, but... well, Mr. Zhuang knows about this, and the younger one has run back and forth countless times, but he got nothing. Dong, the little one, just..."

As soon as he talked about colluding with the Tubo army, Ning Gusdu's already bitter face suddenly became a little bit more bitter, and he babbled all the blame on the government's inaction in disaster relief.

"Huh? Master Zhuang, is it true?"

Li Xian raised his brows, with a look of astonishment on his face, he suddenly turned his face to the side, and asked Zhuang Mingyi in a bad tone.

"His Royal Highness, I have indeed received a letter from Ning Gu Sidu, and it has already been reported to the former Inspector Yao, but the matter has not been approved by the Inspector Yao, so the matter has not been settled."

Zhuang Mingyi was the Sima of Hezhou at the beginning, so he knew the ins and outs of this matter - Ning Gusi had indeed submitted a document, and he was also talking about asking for disaster relief. Zhuang Mingyi specially sent someone to the Sala Department to understand the disaster situation. However, it was found that the disaster situation of the Ministry was not as severe as described in the report, the loss was only a drop in the bucket, and it could not meet the standard of a disaster at all. The petition was rejected, and Zhuang Mingyi had already reported this matter to Li Xian, but for the sake of acting, Zhuang Mingyi simply and neatly shifted all the responsibility to Yao Wangshu, who had defected to the enemy.

"Well, it turns out that's the case, so there's a reason for it. It's a pity that the laws of the country are ruthless. This fact alone cannot forgive you for treason, and your family still cannot escape the punishment of death. What, what." Li Xian expressed regret. Looking at Ning Gusdu in disbelief, he shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"Ah, no, no, Your Highness, please be merciful, I beg you for the little ones, I can do anything for the little ones, I just ask you to let my Sarah family go, please..."

When Ning Gu Sidu heard that he was still going to die, he immediately collapsed and lay on the ground, begging bitterly, with snot and tears all over his face.

"Forget it, God has the virtue of good life, you have committed a heinous crime, there is no place for forgiveness, but Gu can't bear to wipe out your whole family, desperate to be impeached, and try to save you a way out. " Li Xian seemed to be extremely embarrassed and sighed, and made a promise.

"Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace, the little one should always remember His highness's great kindness, and never dare to do unrighteous things again, the little one can swear to the sky, be loyal to the Tang Dynasty forever, and never rebel, if you break this oath, heaven and earth will perish! Little... ..." Ning Gusi thought to himself that he would surely die, but when he heard Li Xian opened his golden mouth, he immediately became excited, swearing all over his mouth, and looked ecstatic.

"Enough! Thank you? How can I thank you? I have taken such a big risk alone, and I can finish the matter with such a simple oath. I am afraid that this is not such a cheap thing in the world."

Before Ning Gu Sidu could finish speaking, Li Xian slapped the copy suddenly, interrupted Ning Gu Sidu's words unceremoniously, grinned grimly, and curled his lips in disdain to say something.

"Ah, little one, little one..."

Hearing what Li Xian said, Ning Gusi was stunned again, staring at Li Xian dumbfounded, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the master in front of him.
