Chapter 2122 The despicable actions of the Tang Dynasty Yaozhou Governor's Office
Songtsan Gampo and the important civil and military ministers who returned to Luoxue City all looked at the Tibetan Deputy Prime Minister Tashi in bewilderment.
"Tashi's little talk, did I hear it correctly? You mean that there was a rebellion in Yangga City, not far from Luoxe City?"
Tashi Xiaolun saw that the person who spoke was veteran minister Basang Qiben, and nodded helplessly.
"Exactly, the rebels are all slaves of the Sunim clan not far from Nianga City."
"They suddenly broke out and killed the Sunim clan leader and his family. They even robbed a lot of cattle and sheep. Then they attacked several surrounding tribes."
"They recruited slaves from various tribes along the way. From the beginning, there were only a few hundred people. In just a few days, there were 3,000 people."
"Suruoma of Nianga City personally led five hundred soldiers and horses to suppress the rebellion. However, he was ambushed by those damn slaves and died on the battlefield. Of the five hundred soldiers and horses, less than a hundred escaped back to Nianga City."
"We received an urgent report from Nianga City, which is not far from Luoxue City. If this rebel army continues to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"So Marshal Du personally led three thousand cavalry to quell the rebellion. Early this morning, I received a messenger from Marshal Du. The rebellion has been put down."
"Most of the rebellious slaves have been beheaded, but many are still scattered..."
Although his expression remained calm, his eyelids were twitching wildly. Songtsen Gampo finally asked.
"Tashi Qing, why did those slaves rebel?"
Seeing Songtsen Gampo's solemn expression, Tashi Xiaolun quickly bowed and stiffened his head and replied.
"Because those slaves... they don't want to be slaves anymore."
"What are you talking about?!" An important Tibetan minister couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Slaves, then they will be slaves for generations. If slaves don't want to be slaves, do they still want to become human beings?"
#####
As soon as this statement came out, all the important Tibetan officials nodded in agreement.
"That is, we have mercy on them, feed them, clothe them, and allow them to survive. That is enough mercy."
"They actually have the guts to betray us. It seems that they are really full and exhausted."
"That's enough!" Songtsen Gampo raised his hand to stop these important ministers, and at the same time, they were also the complaints of the big slave owners.
His eyes fell on Tashi Xiaolun again.
"Zanpu, we have to start with those Tang people."
These words finally made Songtsen Gampo change his expression.
"You mean that the troops of Tang State have already arrived near Deluoche City?"
"No, no, no, please be patient and listen to me tell you in detail. This has to start with the Governor's Palace of Yaozhou in the Tang Dynasty that invaded the southern part of Tubo."
Another minister with a bad temper couldn't help but shouted and asked.
"The Governor's Mansion of Yaozhou in the Tang Dynasty? Could it be that the dog thieves from the Tang Dynasty sent spies to cause trouble near our Luoche City?"
Zhaxi Xiaolu couldn't help but retorted.
"How many of those arrogant Tang people do you think can understand our Tubo dialect?"
"..." Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but glare at the interfering minister. He waited until the other minister stepped back and then signaled to Tashi to continue his essay.
Tashi Xiaolun looked at Zampu with a sigh of relief. Even after traveling to the north for a walk, his skin not only did not turn plateau red, but became increasingly whiter, before he continued.
"The Governor's Office of Yaozhou in the Tang Dynasty issued an official document "The Governor's Office of Yaozhou in the Tang Dynasty reported to Tubo Slaves", which was to tell me about the slaves of the various tribes of Tibet."
Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, slavery was prohibited. Today, Tubo treats all ethnic groups on the plateau as slaves and treats people like cattle and horses.
His Highness King Wu, the governor of Yaozhou in the Tang Dynasty, was very angry and decided to tell all the Tibetan slaves to come and come to the land under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as you set foot in southern Tibet, you will become human beings, not slaves of the Tubo people.
Almost at the moment that Tashi Xiaolun said the report against the Tibetan slaves, the whole room was in an uproar.
Even Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but change his face.
Unfortunately, this mother-in-law is not the worst news, there is also the Bon Religion master Jiacuo who is very famous in Tubo.
That is, the eldest disciple of the former Imperial Master also sent many disciples to spread the word throughout the Tubo Kingdom.
All Bon believers could freely preach in the lands under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
"Among the Tubo people, there are many who are deeply poisoned by the Bon religion.
After listening to the words of those Bon believers, some families even migrated to the south..."
Not only that, those Bon believers, after receiving the call from Master Jiacuo, took the initiative to publicize the Slavery Notice for the Tang Dynasty throughout Tubo.
Although many Bon believers who were preaching were arrested, some were even killed directly.
But nothing could be done to stop these fanatical guys, and the reason why the Sunimu tribe near Nianga City rebelled.
It was because the Sunim tribe captured a Bon believer who was preaching those reactionary remarks in the tribe.
And those slaves, in order to save the Bon believer who had his tongue cut off, caused this turmoil.
#####
"Zanpu, actually the situation in this area of Luoshu City is pretty good."
"As for tribes large and small in Medog, Bowo and other places near the south, large-scale escaped slaves have appeared."
"There are even some tribes. The slaves directly exterminated the tribe and then fled. When the local Maben rushed there, all he saw were corpses without heads..."
Songtsen Gampo's face was no longer white at this moment, but iron blue.
What kind of trick is this? Damn the Tang Dynasty, damn the King of Wu Li Ke, for actually thinking of such a vicious trick.
He actually teamed up with those Bon believers to induce slaves from all over Tubo to rebel. This was simply an attempt to turn the entire plateau into a pot of chaos.
"Zanpu, we must use all our troops to drive the Tang bandits out of the south with thunderous momentum.
Otherwise, they will be allowed to collude with those Bon believers who eat inside and outside, and act so wantonly."
"I am very worried that more and more tribal slaves will be bewitched by him."
Seeing Songtsen Gampo's expression, Tashi Xiaolun quickly fell to the ground.
"Zanpu, I think that the army has been running for days before returning to Luoche City. At this time, it is not appropriate to immediately raise troops to go to the south."
"The place where our Tibetan slaves are most concentrated is Luoxue City and the surrounding city-states. Now the chaos around Luoxue City has become apparent."
"I am very worried that if the army is outside and the slaves in Luoxe City and surrounding tribes start a rebellion, then Tibet will be in real danger."
Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but raise his arm and gently rub his heart. No, no, no, he must not get excited.
You must hold on, hold on.
The fourth update has been delivered. I’ll take a rest now. Thank you all for your understanding and support. I’d like to express my gratitude to the bosses. I’ll continue tomorrow.
