Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 169
Time has entered October, and although the cold has started to worsen in western Liaoning, everyone is working hard and everything is on the right track. The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing very well, and the cucumbers have begun to climb on the shelves. Planting vegetables in winter, but taking care of them attentively.

Qinhuangdao belongs to the Bohai Bay, even if it is cold, it will not freeze, and the water temperature is still as warm as ever. With the arrival of winter, the number of fish has not decreased, but has increased.

There are dozens of boats in the area, which is not worth mentioning for the output of the huge sea. A large amount of dried fish from the four counties in western Liaoning was transported to Guanzhong. Each accounted for half of the country.

Since the west of Liaoning is more convenient than the south of the Lingnan, Chang'an is now basically full of fish from here, but the South China Sea produces more varieties, which Bohai Bay can't keep up with.

For the people in western Liaoning today, eating fish is like pickles. They have it in every meal. For breakfast, there is fish sauce, watercress fish for dinner, dried fish at noon, and dried fish at night. For the people who used to not have enough food It's like living like a fairy.

……

Liaoxi is busy, and there is another group of people who are even more busy. Headed by Guanzhong four surnames, five surnames Qiwang, and several aristocratic families in central Shu, under the instruction of Li Shimin and under the guidance of Changsun Wuji, a [-] army is formed to go to Nanzhao after the spring.

Now Li Shimin has also learned to fight for every minute, all the food for the [-] army is controlled by the imperial court, and the weapons and equipment are also purchased from the imperial court with money from the aristocratic family.

To be on the safe side, [-] young and strong men are currently being trained by Li Ji to increase their combat effectiveness. As soon as these people are in Li Ji's hands, they are immediately assigned to many political departments to start brainwashing.

Since the Political Department was very clever in brainwashing, it only included patriotic education in the training, so the aristocratic family did not find anything wrong with it, but in the future, these people estimated that except for some diehard loyalists, they would all become the imperial army.

Of course, no one in the aristocratic family is an idiot, and even an idiot can't live until now. Although the spoils of the attack on Nanzhao have to be distributed to the imperial court, many of them will be bought with money.

After calculation, the aristocratic family still has huge profits. After calculation, the aristocratic family's think tank found that there were not enough generals, mainly because they had no combat experience in the mountains and dense forests, so they asked the court to borrow them.

It just so happened that Li Shimin followed Feng Daiwen's suggestion and formed a mountain army.

Neither of them was very famous in the army, and the aristocratic family was assured that they would not be controlled as soldiers. They assessed the two of them again, and were satisfied with letting them command the troops.

Although it cost a lot of money, the effect is obvious. I have also learned a lot about the children of the family fighting in the mountains, and the soldiers' combat effectiveness has improved a lot compared to before.

The anti-snake medicine developed by Lingnan also sold a lot to the aristocratic family for preparation. The aristocratic family has many talents, and naturally there are also many doctors, who immediately arranged to follow them to learn how to deal with trauma and make medicinal materials.

With so many soldiers under the control of the family, Li Shimin tried many methods, but he was still worried, so he ordered the veterans in the army, Niu Xiu and Niu Jinda of Langya County, to select five thousand soldiers and distribute food and grass.

Now, under Feng Daiwen's intrusion, Datang has gone on another road. On the grassland, Xue Yantuo and the Huihe family have cleaned up the East Turks several times. Those who can be arrested have been arrested, and those who have not been caught have also fled to other places. up.

Moreover, the clutches of these two families are extending towards the Western Turks. After all, not only can a lot of cattle, sheep and horses be captured in war, but the people captured can also be exchanged for items, weapons, Tang wine, porcelain, silk, cotton clothes, etc. tempting.

Whether it is a person or a tribe, they have become accustomed to a life of luxury. It is very difficult to return to the old days of hard work, grazing, freezing and not having enough to eat.

But they are not the opponents of the Turkic people. They can only do things secretly on the border of the Western Turkic people. They are also nomads. Naturally, they are very familiar with each other, so they can easily find those tribes.

The Western Turks were also unwilling to provoke the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but the Huihe people were not so polite to Xue Yantuo, and fought back several times without hesitation. At one time, several parties suffered casualties, and the hatred became deeper and deeper. possible.

The Huihe people were more honest. After all, they had said in the morning that they would join their clan, but now they saw that there was no advantage to take advantage of, so they hurriedly submitted a table and let Li Shimin slaughter them.

After discussing with the ministers of the court and central government, Li Shimin divided the Huihe people into three groups, one part helped to graze on the grassland, and the other part moved inland to Shuofang County, where the people of the Tang Dynasty guided the cultivation of the land, selected [-] elites, formed an army, and handed it over to Li Jing for arrangement train.

As for Xue Yantuo, he asked Li Shimin for reinforcements many times to attack the Western Turks together, but was rejected on the grounds that the Western Turks invaded the Tang Dynasty, but increased the weapons and equipment sold to the Xue Yantuo tribe.

Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan has no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on. After all, the East Turks are gone, and Xue Yantuo is the biggest on the grassland. There are dozens of small tribes who have taken refuge in him. He can't admit that he is cowardly. The prestige that is so hard to establish no more.

For the control of the grassland, not only the family and the family support it, but Zhang Gongjin’s Anxi Dudu Mansion has been established at the foot of the Yin Mountain, separating the tribe from the Tang Dynasty, and 20 professional soldiers recruited from the new components guard it, even if it is a [-] army. Want to take over quickly.

After the cement was produced, there have been many Ubuds on the grassland. These were built by several families, and they can safely guarantee the safety of the people. You can't steal villages like you did in the past when you invaded the Central Plains.

The Central Plains family habitually builds Wubao. Basically, the old nest of a family is a small city. After all, they all know that the wealth of the family is amazing, and it is impossible to be represented by a mansion. Generally, [-] to [-] bandits are not enough to attack. Otherwise, there would not be so many thousand-year-old families.

Some aristocratic families like Wuxing Qiwang directly control a county, or the county is under its control. The supervision of the people under their rule is stricter than that of the imperial court. If the people leave them by various means, they can only die. For example, the aristocratic family In the city under the control, all the merchants in it belong to themselves, and only some small traders are local people. The people have no access to outside information. It can be said that in their old nest, the people only know the family, not the emperor.
