On March 25, Kublai Khan led his concubines and royal family, civil and military ministers, guards and palace guards, rare birds and beasts, and with thousands of vehicles of wealth and classics and Buddhist scriptures, he left Dadu in a mighty manner under the escort of 400,000 troops.

Kublai Khan, who was already 75 years old, sat in a carriage, looked back at Dadu and the majestic Daming Palace, and his eyes were wet.

It has been more than twenty years since he seized the Khan throne and entered the capital. For more than twenty years, the Daming Palace in the capital is his home.

Originally, he thought he would die in Dadu. Now, he is leaving.

"Bayatai, Khanbali and Tuo! (Goodbye, the capital)" Kublai sighed, his old face could not hide the helpless sadness.

"Bayatai! Khanbali and Tuo!" The Mongolian Seminary nobles living in the capital also shouted with tears in their eyes.

They have lived in Mostu for so long, but once they leave, they are really reluctant to leave. Many young people are born and raised here, and for them, they are mostly different from their hometowns in the grassland.

Kublai Khan pointed at the capital and said loudly: "Remember it, remember this capital, this is Kyoto, which was once the Great Yuan Dynasty, and Khan Bali of the Great Mongolian Kingdom!"

"Remember it firmly, the Mongolian army will come back sooner or later! I may not see that day, but I hope you will remember my words and one day, kill you back!"

"Care back! Kill back!" The Mongolian nobles shouted together.

"Brush!" Kublai Khan shouted. In a moment, the brush and ink served in front of the emperor. Kublai Khan, who had a good academic cultivation in Chinese, wrote:

I'm using a book reading app recently. There are many books, all books, and fast updates!

"Looking back at the capital is like wind and smoke, I am so sorry that the Han area is beautiful. I will make a comeback in the year and will rule the Central Plains for hundreds of years."

After writing with great simplicity, Kublai Khan said: "Press it to the gate of the capital and let the Tang army see that Dayuan will wait for them like tigers and wolves waiting for their prey to take a nap."

"Zhe!" The guard of Qiexue immediately followed suit and posted the domineering declaration of the Mongolian Khan on the gate of the capital.

"Set out!" Kublai Khan turned around resolutely and never looked at the capital again.

Hundreds of thousands of people and more than one million horses went north in a mighty manner, planning to go out of Yuguan (Shanhaiguan), then go east and move westward through the grassland.

Han officials wrote poems one after another to bid farewell to the Central Plains. However, compared with the arrogant poems written by the Mongolian Khan, their poems were written better, but their artistic conception was sad and graceful.

Because of his contributions, Wang Silang, who was promoted to the Minister of Rites, also wrote a poem and said:

"This time I went to the Western Desert to bid farewell to the Central Plains, and I don't know the year when I fly to the ends of the world. Tears shed my dreams every night, and flowers bloomed every year. If you ask where the hometown is, you should be on the other side of the sea. The tombstone will face eastward in the future, and the fox dies and looks at the hometown hill."

Kublai Khan and the Yuan court ministers were the last group to move westward. Once they left, the entire northern land was truly deserted for thousands of miles.

The Tang army crossed the river and fought north often could not see anyone all day long. Even the prosperous cities in the past could only see some old, weak, sick and disabled people.

The entire northern country is full of abandoned villages, with no smoke from cooking, no dogs barking, no chickens crowing. The desolate scene makes the Tang army soldiers heartbroken. Even at this time, the spring is shining brightly and the sun is shining brightly, it makes people feel a sense of absurd and illusory discomfort.

The Tang army was not so much a Northern Expedition as a Northern Expedition. However, it seemed that the Yuan army retreated and the Tang army advanced. Speaking of which, it was also considered a regaining by force.

By late April, several Tang troops had occupied a vast area from Hedong to the east, from north Shandong to the north, and from the Great Wall. Yang Xu, on the east road, led his army 50,000 north to recover Liaodong.

On April 22, Tang Lord Li Luo finally led an army of 100,000 to Yanyun and the city of Dadu.

The big-food BMW that Li Luo rode could not help but neighed gently and shook his hooves. Because it was the foal that grew up in the capital, and was later awarded by Kublai Khan to the famous general of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, Li Luo, "Mergen uprooted the capital".

The so-called old horse knows the way. The horse is very smart and has a deep memory of the places you have been with for a long time.

The dragon and phoenix flags, flirting in the spring breeze of April, and the phoenix flags of fire-fire battles, stood high at the south gate of Dadu. Lord Tang looked up at the city gate and said nothing for a long time.

Ten years ago, he came to Dadu with the Goryeo delegation and came to this place that Cui Xiuning called the "City of Sin". At that time, he silently swore in his heart that one day, he would let the Han family's flag be inserted again on the top of the city.

Ten years later, he came to Dadu again. He came with a large army. However, the Mongolian army was forced to leave the city in a hurry and move westward.

He did it.

Have done it.

Who else?

The only regret is that Cui Xiuning presided over the government affairs in Luoyang and did not come with him.

Now, almost all the Han family’s homelands are in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, I have done what you have done, and it will be better than what you have done!

"Your Majesty." Yan Jun, who was accompanying him, stepped forward, "This is a poem left by the Tartar Lord Kublai Khan, and his seal was stamped." Yan Jun respectfully handed a piece of paper to Li Luo.

When Li Luo took it, he saw that it was a Yan style character, which was written in a bit of heat. The poem above was also very simple, but the poetry was very arrogant.

"Ha, come back and reign with the Central Plains." Li Luo sneered, "The Tartar Lord is really ambitious. Unfortunately, I can wait, but he can't wait."

"Turn the order to send this poem back to Luoyang intact, and let the Ministry of Rites print it and post it all over the world. Tell the Tang soldiers and civilians that the Tartars were undead of ambitions in the Central Plains and would never have swords and guns to enter the warehouse, and they would never be able to sing and dance and peace, thinking that the world was fine!"

"Abide by the order!" Yan Jun received the order.

Kublai Khan wrote this poem with the original intention of encouraging the morale of the Yuan court and showing a strong attitude to the Tang Dynasty. Li Luo simply used this poem to promote it widely to alert officials and the people that they should not forget the battle for a day and the enemy for a day.

After the army entered the city, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the intact city and palace.

Kublai Khan finally did not burn most of the capital. However, this also shows that the Yuan court was determined to be in the Central Plains ambition and still wanted to make a comeback.

In his master's posture, Li Luo swaggered into the palace that had been strictly searched by the guards, and then went to the hall in the Ming Dynasty to accept congratulations to the civil and military officials.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty! Long live! Long live! Long live!!"

Let the civil and military officials go down to worship together, and shout long live the mountain.

Li Luo sat on the throne that Kublai Khan had made, and looked at the people below and couldn't help but feel excited.

Entering the capital and sitting on this throne really means that he completely recaptured the Central Plains, expelled the Tartars, and overthrew the rule of the Mongol Yuan and Jin Qi in the Central Plains region of nearly a Jiazi.

It means that since Shi Jingtang, the Youyun area, which has been in the hands of a foreign race for 350 years, has returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty again.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty. From today on, the Tang Dynasty will be completely restored to the Central Plains." Wei Su said with joy. "I will not only congratulate Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty, but also congratulate the Han people, history, and ancestors!"

Zhang Yanghao also said: "Your Majesty's great achievements are far away from the Han and Tang dynasties, and are comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. He is truly a saint who has never been born in the world."

Li Luo smiled and looked at the eyes that shot to the palace gate, looking at the palace outside the hall, and couldn't help but feel confident.

He patted the armrests on the dragon chaise and squeezed them secretly. The texture of the golden painted red sandalwood came truly, making the most noble man in the East feel happy.

It's not because of this gorgeous chair, but because it's Kublai Khan's throne.

Back then, when he was in His Highness, he had to bear humiliation and surrender. But now, Kublai Khan was driven out of the Central Plains by him and moved west in a hurry. And he was the person on Kublai Khan's throne!

It’s the feeling of ousting the boss whom I once secretly hated and sitting in the president’s office by himself. This feeling of replacing it is really... very sour.

"I passed the order and changed the name of Dadu to Beijing! I thought it was the Northern Capital of the Tang Dynasty." Li Luo's first intention was to change Dadu to Beijing and set it to the Northern Capital of the Tang Dynasty.

"Issuing an order to inform the world that China has been completely restored. April 22nd is the day of resurrection! The elderly over 70 years old in the country will be rewarded with a silver ball."

"The order was sent to the Zhengshi Hall, and the land of Qilu was restored to Bingzhou, with Jinyang as the capital. Hebei was designated as Jizhou, and Baozhou (Baoding) was restored to ancient counties, and established as the capital of Jizhou. The land of Qilu, north of the Yellow River, was assigned to Yanzhou."

"The south of the Hei River in Liaodong, the east of the grassland, the west of the East Prefecture, and the north of Jizhou, including the former Khitan area, are classified into the four prefectures of Liaozhou, Bozhou, Jiangzhou and Songzhou!"

There were six more states at once. However, the huge population of the six states on the map, including Ji, Liao, Bo, Jiang and Song, is estimated to be left without a population of 100,000, and is uninhabited thousands of miles away.

"Abide by the order! Your Majesty is wise!" Wei immediately drafted an edict.

Li Luo once again issued an order: "Appoint Yang Xu, the governor of Dongzhou, to conquer the entire Liaodong to regain the entire Liaoshui (Heilongjiang)!"

Why is it just Heilongjiang occupying the entire foreign northeast of later generations? Because the distance is too far, it is enough to temporarily reach the Heilongjiang River.

Although almost all the tribes in the northeast of later generations were carried by the Yuan army to move westward, the northeast almost became an open space, but the distance between the army was too far, and the soldiers also worked very hard. The desert south and northeast, including the North Sea (Lake Baikal), had to be brought back, but not at the moment.

Don't be anxious, take your time, the steps are too big... unsafe.

"The order was passed to change Taiyuan to Jinyang County, and Zhu Han divided his troops and stationed Juyongguan and Yanmen Pass. When the Yuan army left the south of the Mo, he went out to the frontier to capture Fengzhou (Hohhot), and restore Fengzhou to Yunzhong County."

"As for the four prefectures of Liao, Bo, Jiang, Song, and the capital will not be determined for the time being, and there will be no prefecture and patriarchal yamen for the time being, and only garrison will defend."

"Abide by the order!"

Li Luo did not forget one very important thing, "Yan Jun, you lead the army to the outer border, bring back the Jizhou Ding, and be careful to transport it back. Do you still remember that place?"

Yan Jun said with a little excited expression: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will remember that local minister for the rest of my life. I will definitely bring the Jizhou tripod back to Luoyang."

Li Luo stroked his beard and nodded and smiled, "You will lead a 5,000 army to set off today, don't walk. The Yuan army hasn't gone far yet."

"Abide by the order!" Yan Jun took the order out of the palace.

"The order was issued to the people who moved south, once several major projects were completed, they would return to the north in batches. The Tang Dynasty would provide relief to them for at most two years, and there would be no more. Such a large northern land should not be without a population. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue encourages the people from the south to immigrate to the four prefectures of Guandong and enrich the new land."

Zhang Yanghao bowed: "Your Majesty, the four states outside the pass are cold. Why not let the people of Bingzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, migrate, but let the people of the south move?"

Li Luo said: "The people in the north are only five million people who have moved south. If people are drawn to enrich Guandong, the huge northern city will be sparsely populated."

"And to the south of the Yangtze River, there are a large population, but millions of people can be moved. Is this cold-resistant? It's better to get used to it. The land in Guandong is black soil, and once it is cultivated, it will be extremely fertile. And it has rich resources, but it is a great treasure land."

"What if the court granted 100 to 200 acres of land to each immigrant household in the south, the more land it goes north, and the agricultural tax and commercial tax are exempted from 10 years of taxation and commercial taxation, and then hundreds of thousands of slaves are dispatched to help reclaim wasteland and build houses?"

Wei Su smiled and said, "The court is so generous, so the people in the south will definitely not be short of people willing to immigrate."

The people in the south only give only more than 20 acres of land per household. If they go to Guandong, the number of land granted will be several times higher.

Li Luo nodded, "These four states will immigrate four million and move in batches. The sea ships will be mobilized and the migration will be completed within five years. This year, one million will be immigrated first and 300,000 Nanyang Tianzhu slaves will be issued to open up the land."

Well, there are more than two million official slaves in the Tang Dynasty, most of whom are natives of Nanyang and India. With so much cheap labor, it is very convenient to do anything.

The Tang court was tacitly aware of this. The Tang court's strategy was to not only consume slaves, but also to constantly demote the indigenous people to slaves to supplement their labor through various excuses. In this way, the Tang Dynasty did not lack cheap labor, and the proportion of the indigenous population in the colonies would become lower and lower.

Slaying two birds with one stone, boiling a frog in warm water is very sinister.

A series of decrees were issued, and the great immigrants from Hongwu, which had a far-reaching influence in later generations, began.

…………

On April 30th, Li Luo, who had been in Beijing for only eight days, issued an edict to return to Luoyang in the south.

More than 100,000 troops remained in the north and turned the six states into a garrison area.

When Li Luo returned to Luoyang, the court officials once again submitted a letter asking for an increase in honor of Gao Ming Guangshi.

After all, if you completely recover the Central Plains and have such great achievements, how could the emperor not be honored?

Therefore, Li Luo, who already had the title of sixteen characters, became the "Gao Ming Guangshi Shishi Shintoshi and handsome virtues to open the sky and establish the extreme of literature and martial arts, and great heroes to the great emperor"!

Twenty words of honor!

What can be a bright world? Isn’t it the sun?

It means, your majesty, you are the sun.

This is also the origin of the later Emperor Hongwu, the nickname "Sun Emperor", which is even taller than his ancestor Emperor Ming of Tang.

Li Luo issued an order to hold a grand banquet, with the king and his ministers having fun together to celebrate the full restoration of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. At the banquet, "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" was staged, and a new drama "Yan Yun Fu" created by Guan Hanqing, the literary and artistic temple minister, praised the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to recapture Heshuo and expel the Tartars.

The emperor and ministers of the Tang Ting also watched Cuju and polo games. They had fun for two days and everyone was very happy.

At this time, new projects such as planting trees, repairing the Yellow River, and rebuilding the Xiyuan have begun, and more than two million labor is invested in the project in full swing. The food quality allocated by the Tang Ting Finance Department was also continuously transported to Jiangbei through sea routes and canals to provide relief to refugees from the north.

The entire Henan and Guanzhong are full of labor scenes.

The price is that the Tang Ting consumed extremely amazing food. The excess food from the twelve Taicang had been eaten up, and the empty ones could starve the mice to death. The food obtained from the agricultural tax was still being collected continuously and shipped to the mouths of refugees.

The food flowed out like a flowing water. The people of the Tang Dynasty raised five million refugees and could only support the court by cutting food. Of course, there were many people in the Tang Dynasty, and each person ate a few less bites of food, so they could deal with it.

The problem is that this situation of food shortage will not end in the short term. After all, the Tang Dynasty was established only a few years ago, and there were insufficient oxen, so many places were short of food.

The theaters in various places, from the city's Liyuan and rural social dramas, are performing dramas created by literary and artistic temples and opera academies everywhere, promoting the concept that the people of the Tang Dynasty are supported by all sides when they are in trouble. Coupled with local propaganda and the education of rural school teachers, the ideological realm of the people of the Tang Dynasty has greatly increased.

"Eat a few fewer bites of food and overcome difficulties together." This slogan is now known to everyone. Under the educational propaganda like a combination of punches, most people have no complaints about the government and the court, but think that it should be.

Even many people who had surplus food at home took the initiative to donate to the government. The court also gave gifts to the people, and under the order of Cui Xiuning, he awarded 10 points for donating grain to the people.

The moral points such as honorary points were used in the Tang Dynasty for the first time. Of course, according to His Majesty the Queen, it is necessary to grant humanitarian points fairly and justly. Local officials who commit ill-fals or do nothing will be deducted points.

The court did not explain the honorary points. But many people already know that the so-called humanitarian points are rewards that follow humanity. Even if they cannot exchange the benefits in front of them, they are still an honor.

On the third day of the fifth month, the Tang Dynasty discussed and began to discuss a major event.

Recover Tubo.

The proposal to recapture Tubo was proposed by the Military Advisor's Office. The Military Advisor's Office believed that after the Yuan Dynasty moved westward, it would definitely strengthen its control over Tubo. The Tang Dynasty must take advantage of the weakening of the Yuan Dynasty's control over Tubo and recapture Tubo from the Yuan army.

Jiang Jun, a military advisor of the Military Advisor's Office, reported: "According to the military situation, the Yuan court only had thousands of troops left in Tubo, and the Tubo tribes suffered heavy losses in the two previous eastern invasions, and the territory was seriously insufficient. The Military Advisor's Office believed that the Tang Dynasty was at its right time to use troops at this time."

The Minister of War Du Lie agreed: "Your Majesty, although the food is tight at the moment, the military ration reserves have always been sufficient. I think that although Tubo is too high and difficult to fight, it will take a year for a hundred thousand troops to spend enough."

Li Luo had long been thinking about using troops against Tubo. After all, Tubo is the land of China, how could he tolerate being continued to be occupied by the Mongol Yuan?

"Ministry of War, how many soldiers are there now in the military personnel from the Qinzhou and western Sichuan provinces?" Li Luo asked.

Du Lie thought about it and reported the exact number: "The soldiers from Dianzhou can have about 30,000 people. There are probably so many soldiers from Qianzhou. There are fewer soldiers from western Sichuan, about 20,000."

Why did Li Luo ask about these soldiers from his hometown? Because the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and western Sichuan are also high-altitude areas, second only to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The soldiers who grew up here are easiest to adapt to plateau reactions.

"The Ministry of War has dispatched all the western Sichuan soldiers of Dianzhou, Qianzhou, and then transferred the Mongolian cavalry of the Hszha tribe of Huaihua, and 10,000 cavalry stationed in Songpan to form a large army of foreign troops." The Mongolian soldiers were also very adapted to the climate and plateau reactions of the Tubo, so Li Luo also used the Mongolian cavalry of the Hszha tribe.

"Abide by the order." Du Lie followed the order, "There are 100,000 troops in total. As for military rations, let's use the Dali Warehouse first."

Li Luo said: "This route of march is based on the remarks of General Mabalangjie. He marched from the north of Myanmar, like occupying Chayu, and then occupying Medog. He went north along the Yarlung Zangbo River, heading straight to Gongbu and collecting more logic!"

A 17 or 18-year-old heroic guard at the corner of the hall suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "Submit Li Wangzhu, please ask Your Majesty to allow him to follow the army to fight and recover Tubo!"

This Li Wangzhu is the son of Mabalangjie. He was appointed as the sixth-rank B guard and was promoted to the title of Songpan Marquis, and his original name was Mabawangzhu. Because of Mabalangjie's last words, Li Luo gave him the surname Li.

Since Mabalangjie was able to be a member of the Yuan Dynasty, he was of course from a Tubo noble family. The Maba family has a great origin. Speaking of which, he has a close relationship with the former Tang Dynasty.

Logically speaking, he has a little blood relationship with Li Luo, a "descendant of the former Tang Dynasty".
