L Shitan, this is a Gobi area on the edge of the desert. In front of Di Renjie is an endless rocky area. What kind of crisis can force people to survive on this land?
The wind is the sharpest sword in the world. It cuts the original rocky mountains into countless large and small stones. The largest stone is bigger than the Wanmin Palace, and the smaller stones are two feet wide.
, randomly scattered on the edge of the desert, perhaps many years later these boulders will be cut into finer grains of sand by the wind, and finally become part of the desert.
Elder Heifeng's head was wrapped in linen. Just now he wanted to hit his head on a rock and die, but the captain who was watching him pulled him back. He was trembling and begging Di Renjie.
"Okay, okay, okay, just leave a piece of land for my people to live on. We have already dedicated Loulan City, and we don't want the fertile land anymore. Leave this rocky beach to us.
"
Di Renjie didn't seem to hear Hei Feng's plea. He kept looking at the rocky beach with half-squinted eyes, as if he saw a treasure land full of gold.
A few days ago, Mr. Jin Zhu also said that the life of the people requires water, space and land. Since these Loulan people can survive here, they must not be lacking in these factors, not to mention that they are a group of tens of thousands.
Black Rock Mountain is not a suitable place for building a city. There are many mountains there and it is deserted. Although it can block the way for the Tibetan people to leave the mountain, it is also a big test for the Tang people to stick to the mountains. There is no water source and no extra land.
, the emperor wanted to build a city there, and he was already prepared to pay a huge price. He just marked a black spot on the map, and never considered how his men would complete it.
"Perhaps it is feasible to build a big city here. There are stones, manpower, and large lakes and flat land. The Loulan people don't know how to organize their living environment. Let the Han people teach them."
Di Renjie muttered a few words to himself in a low voice, then lowered his head and said to Hei Feng: "Call out your tribe. It's a good thing. I can guarantee that you will not be bullied from now on. Maybe it should be given to you from now on."
He has the identity of a Tang Dynasty man."
"How do you guarantee it? What guarantee do you have? You are wearing a green robe and there is no guarantee of your qualifications!" Hearing Heifeng's shouting, Lieutenant Bian hit him hard on the shoulder and back with a horizontal knife.
This made him more resistant.
As Cheng Chumo waved his hand, countless soldiers dressed in black began to jump forward on the rocks. They did so easily because the Loulan people have never been a nation that likes to resist. They have been resigned to the situation for thousands of years.
When encountering danger, their first reaction is not to resist but to run away. This is different from the tough Guanzhong people. They always want to build a high wall to surround themselves, but things go against their wishes. No matter how tall they build Loulan City
, he never withstood the test when it was time to fall.
The experienced scouts of the Tang Army quickly found a correct path. Cheng Chu smiled silently and led a large group of people into the rocky area.
The road was very narrow, only two horses could pass side by side, and it was bumpy. Black Wind, who wanted to resist just now, screamed again. This time, no one paid attention to him. Everyone was marching with their heads down, and on their own.
Teams of sergeants are constantly left on the road to guard against being fired. This is standard procedure. You cannot be too careful when marching and fighting.
After walking for half a day, the vision suddenly opened up. Di Renjie's first reaction was to shout: "What a paradise!" Everyone thought that in this most desolate place, there was a hidden paradise.
Not only Di Renjie was stunned, but Cheng Chumo also opened his mouth. Outside, the wind blew in the face, and the dust was flying, but inside, it seemed as if they had arrived in Jiangnan in an instant. They could hardly believe their eyes, since there was still green grass growing here.
Beside the clear lake.
Di Renjie leaned down and took a handful of water from the lake. The water here was actually hot. Everything was very similar to the palace on Lishan Mountain, except that there were no tall and gorgeous pavilions. Master took him to the palace on Lishan Mountain.
However, Li Tai had a large property there, and he never expected to see such a place outside the Great Wall.
"This is the land given to us by the Sun King. You can't take it away." Heifeng didn't know whether he was begging or threatening. The soldiers who had been fed up with the sandstorm laughed and rushed towards the low thatched huts.
.For them, being able to spend the winter here is definitely the most memorable thing in their lives.
"Restrict your subordinates not to kill!" Cheng Chumo was also very happy. He gave his order to the dumbfounded captain, then turned around and said to Heifeng: "Restrict your tribesmen not to resist. Without resistance, there will be no killing."
Black Wind, who was lying sadly on the ground, followed the sergeant into the village like a walking zombie...
"Xiaojie, do you think this is a suitable place to build a city? Do you plan to build an official residence for your master here as the Beiting Protectorate?" Cheng Chumo sat down by the lake, took off his shoes and socks, soaked his feet in the water and groaned with comfort.
There was a sound.
"Impossible. Xiao Wu said that my master will definitely choose Luntai for the treatment. This place is a desert. It's impossible, especially since it is more than two thousand miles away from Luntai. It is too far and can only serve as a fortress to defend against Tibet.
, If the army wants to enter Tubo in the future, attacking from here will have the effect of making Tubo vulnerable to enemies, and it can be stationed here for a long time. Blackstone Mountain is not a good choice. I will ask Mr. Xu to write to your majesty, and I hope your majesty can allow it.
Cheng Chumo laughed, rubbed the head of Di Renjie who was sitting next to him and said: "Your Majesty has never been a stubborn person. As long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, he will change his mind faster than anyone else. In the past two years, His Majesty has changed his mind faster than anyone else."
My temperament has become much gentler, which may have something to do with getting older.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the others have become decrepit old men. Even Wei Zheng, who has a fiery temperament, has begun to hide his power and bide his time since his eye disease was cured. His Majesty did not go to court for three months in a row and did not hold him accountable. Instead, he sent an imperial
Go to the doctor before going to the doctor.
My father and other senior generals were all recalled to the capital by Your Majesty. He said that he misses him very much and plans to spend his remaining years with all of his old friends. This is interesting. Your Majesty is forty-three this year, and my father and the others are still less than sixty. For
For a general, it is a good time to make achievements, and His Majesty is also in the prime of life. How can he talk about growing old?
If you look at the generals your Majesty has promoted in the past few years, it will become clear. Your master is one of them. Su Dingfang will definitely be reused after returning from Beiting this time. Liu Renyuan is one of them. Xue Rengui, who guards the palace gate, actually became a captain.
Now he is Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, who is at the same level as your master. I heard that your uncle Jianhu is also going to be re-employed. Yuchi Baolin is now the governor of one side.
As for the inner palace, have fewer students from the academy entered it in the past few years? The copper coin case that shocked the country last year was carried out by the disciples of the academy. Wang Xuance, who had endured hardship in Tubo, finally came to fruition and entered Tianzhu as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty.
Xiaojie, you are the youngest among them. I don’t understand why your master arranged for you to enter Dali Temple. I asked him, but he just smiled and didn’t say the reason. I guess he had some considerations.
Uncle Cheng, the reason why I say so much is to tell you that His Majesty is planning a big game of chess, and your master's appointment in Beiting may be the beginning of this game."
Just as Cheng Chumo finished speaking, Xu Jingzong's words came from behind: "Listen carefully, your Uncle Cheng may seem like a rough guy, but he actually has a lot of talent. I dare not say these words, so you are right to listen to him.
Your master ran outside on his own. He didn’t leave you here to make achievements, but to eat and die in Chang’an. If you want to make achievements, you have to wait until the next emperor appears. This is all your master’s fault.
, What’s wrong with following me to learn from historians? You have to learn arithmetic.”
Xu Jingzong grinned and stuffed his feet into the small lake. He looked around and said to Di Renjie who just smiled and said nothing: "You masters and disciples are so lucky. I just asked you to solve the problem of Black Rock Mountain by yourself, and you found this."
A piece of treasure land, you don’t plan to kill all the Loulan people, do you?
Boy, the era of killing in the empire is over. Now it's time to stabilize the border. This stage will last for a long time, maybe hundreds of years. But from now on, there is no killing. Your master has become a general in Chang'an. This is his
The first military order issued, violators will be severely punished, hahaha, boy, I can already smell blood."
Di Renjie took the military order, looked at the panicked Loulan people and said: "I was planning to kill a group of people. They are very cowardly. It only takes a little blood to make them obey. This is the fastest way. Now we have to think about it."
There is no other way."
Cheng Chumo put on his shoes and came to the Loulan people with Di Renjie. The noisy scene immediately became quiet. Suddenly, two girls were pushed out of the crowd by the Loulan people. They trembled and fell on the ground waiting to be released.
Di Renjie suddenly felt that he was overthinking, and it was enough to scare such a group of people. In order to survive, these people not only pushed out the beautiful woman, but also pushed out the three of them, Hei Feng, who had just been released.
The meaning is obvious, the beauty bribed him, and Elder Heifeng was pushed out because he planned to kill him to vent his anger. These people thought very carefully.
If Heifeng could still maintain the dignity of a tough guy just now, now Heifeng is lying on his back on the ground, looking at the sky with tears streaming down his face. This is a truly heartless person.
"From now on, Heifeng will be your clan leader. You can still live here. And from now on, you will be officially included in the territory of Datang. Your household registration will also belong to the Jisi Prefecture household registration. In addition to not being able to enter the customs at will,
The treatment will be the same as that of the people of the Tang Dynasty." Di Renjie issued his order lightly.
Xu Jingzong smiled hoarsely, but Heifeng, who was lying on the ground, slowly sat up. The sergeant untied him, and he spoke loudly to the tribesmen.
The tongue-talker said in Di Renjie's ear: "He said that from now on, he is the clan leader!"
