Chapter 474: People's Power

The education and living environment that the young Dusongdezan received since childhood made him naturally believe that Daqian should regain political power and status for him.

His father also told him that Daqian would help their Zanpu lineage regain power, and as a condition, Tibet would once again become a vassal state of Daqian.

Dusong Detsen believed in his father's words so much that he went all the way to Daqian to seek help.

Now Song Yang bluntly said that this was impossible. Tubo or Dusongdezan must pay a corresponding price, not just a vassal state.

Song Yang also said that surrender is all nonsense and there is no point in bringing it up.

Tubo was originally a vassal state of Daqian, so there was no question of surrendering again.

Dusong Dezan never thought about this question. He was speechless when he was asked and could only stand there stupidly.

I didn't expect that the trip to Daqian would be so unsuccessful.

After being imprisoned for two years and finally escaping, I had to face these problems that I had never thought about.

The teenager is depressed, blue and thin mushrooms.

"Xiao Dusong... Xiao Dezan! You should go back first. Think carefully about the question I just raised, think about what you can give in exchange, and then come to talk to me."

"As for the Tibetan army outside, you can rest assured that the Tibetans will not be able to pick you up before the final decision is made."

Song Yang waved his hand and sent Dusong Dezan back, and also gave him a reassurance to ensure his personal safety during his stay in Stone Castle City.

Dusong Dezan was a little disappointed. Although he wanted to say something, he didn't know where to start.

When Song Yang spoke, he could only salute, bow his head respectfully and retreat.

"Everyone, let's talk. Should we help this kid? Should Tubo fight? If not, how should we deal with him? If we fight, how should we fight him?"

After Du Songdezan left, Song Yang looked at everyone and asked.

"Hmm... I think Tubo wants to fight! But we can't fight unconditionally like this guy said." Yu Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Tubo is our vassal state. If Tubo is defeated, there will be a barrier in the southwest of Daqian. In addition, Jiannan Road, Longyou Road, and other places in the Western Region will also be in peace."

"So I think Tubo wants to fight!"

When Tubo was powerful, it often threatened certain areas. During the confrontation with Tibet, Daqian built many fortresses in these areas.

Stone Castle was built during that era.

"As for what Tibet has to pay...in addition to money, food and some military power, it must at least change its status and return to its homeland."

"With the management of floating officials, it will be more convenient for us to control Tubo."

"You can use exiled officials to carry out Daqian education in various parts of Tubo. As time goes by, the people's sense of identity should increase."

“Only when people have a sense of identity can long-term peace and stability be facilitated.”

Some fresh vocabulary words were learned by Yu Ming from Song Yang.

In the end, Yu Ming's opinion was to fight and turn Tubo into the state it was in before the four towns in the Western Regions, and send floating officials to manage local government affairs.

At that time, the four towns in the Western Regions were in charge of government affairs, and the military affairs were in charge of military affairs.

The local petty kings were only responsible for managing their own national affairs.

After Yu Ming finished speaking, it was Wei Nan's turn.

Wei Nan thought about it for a while, looked at Song Yang and Yu Ming and said: "Otherwise, just do it in one step. Directly establish the Production and Construction Corps! Make Tubo a direct state! In this way, Tubo will truly be a part of the Daqian!"

"Our force is enough to conquer Tubo, and if we overthrow that imperial master, we will directly take control of Tubo!"

His idea was more radical, and he directly turned Tubo into the Northern Frontier Army and the current four towns in the Western Regions.

In this way, the Central Plains Dynasty's management of Tubo became more centralized.

After hearing what they said, Song Yang did not express his position, but looked at Zhao Yang, who was sitting at the bottom.

Originally, Song Chengwang should have participated in this kind of meeting.

But this guy and his Yuhua girl just fell asleep when they arrived at Shibao City.

Both of them had extremely severe high reflexes. It has been four or five days now and they still haven't recovered. They didn't even come to participate in today's city defense battle...

When Zhao Yang saw Song Yang looking over, he stood up and wanted to reply.

"Sit down and talk. I am used to sitting down and talking in meetings." Song Yang pressed his hands and said.

Zhao Yang thanked him, sat down carefully and said, "Your Majesty, the two generals. The last general's idea is...is..."

Zhao Yang was hesitant and seemed he didn't dare to say anything.

Song Yang smiled and gave him an encouraging look. Zhao Yang was still a little hesitant, but Song Yang simply said:

"General Zhao, feel free to speak your mind! It's a meeting, you just need to express your thoughts! It's not like you will use your method after you say it. I will judge what is right and wrong."

With Song Yang's words, Zhao Yang finally plucked up the courage and said, "The general feels that it's okay not to want the land of Tubo!"

As soon as he said these words, Song Yang and the three of them were stunned.

Song Yang also wanted Tubo, and he also wanted to complete the unification.

Tubo is also an integral part of Daqian.

This was the understanding of Song and Yang, and it was impossible for him to separate Tubo.

I didn't take care of Tubo in the past few years because I simply didn't have the time and energy.

This time, because of Dusong Dezan's incident, the army has arrived at the Tibetan border, so the Tibetan issue must be put on the table in advance.

Zhao Yang saw that the three of them, especially Song Yang, looked unkind, so he hurriedly explained:

"Your Majesty, the people in Tubo are not yet civilized. Especially the lower class people are basically serfs and have no personal freedom at all. And the common people are also restricted by the chieftains and chieftains to a large extent, and they are not truly free.

.”

"Because the local people are under the control of the chieftains, the chieftains, so when sending officials to Tubo, their power will be greatly restricted by the local chieftains, or they will not be able to play the role of local officials at all."

"As for the Production and Construction Corps... I have heard that the Northern Frontier Army is doing it. That model is indeed very good in the north or the plains, but it may not work in Tubo."

"The land in Tubo is very barren, and ordinary food crops cannot grow at all. Most areas can only grow some highland barley, and only river valleys can grow wheat. However, good farmland is basically controlled by the chieftains, and it is difficult to find a suitable piece of land.

land.”

"So when it is difficult to be self-sufficient in food, the general will feel that the Production and Construction Corps is of little significance."

"If we want to seize some good land, we need to eliminate the leaders. This will lead to resistance and hatred among the Tibetan people. Over time, conflicts will definitely break out."

"That's why...the last general felt that it doesn't really matter whether you want the Tubo land or not. All you need to do is make them surrender."

Zhao Yang finished speaking in one breath and concluded that Tubo should maintain its status quo, or return to the state it was in before Emperor Gaozong when it surrendered to the Qian dynasty.

At that time, the relationship between Tubo and Dagan was relatively harmonious and close, and there was no need to garrison too many troops at the border.

Both sides can recuperate, and Daqian can devote more energy to developing his own strength.

This was also Dusong Dezan's father's idea, so he was sure that Daqian would help Tubo.

After listening to Zhao Yang's words, Song Yang, Yu Ming, and Wei Nan all fell into deep thought.

Song Yang also understood that what Zhao Yang said made sense and that the internal situation in Tubo was indeed the same.

The lower class people have almost no personal freedom.

In other words, government decrees cannot reach the level of the people at all.

If the leaders do not implement this decree, the official will be useless.

As for the Production and Construction Corps, it can neither control the people nor be self-sufficient.

Having a few nodes of military strength is meaningless, and it is not a long-term solution.

Song Yang flipped through the history books of his original era in his mind, trying to find some history that he could learn from.

After a while, he saw a word in the history of Tibet: "Great riot by the people."

At that time, Tibetan serfs and lower-class civilians could not bear the oppression of slave owners and years of war, and a large-scale uprising broke out against the slave owners.

The incident spread to the entire Tubo region.

As a result, the Tubo slave system collapsed, and Zampu and the royal family had no choice but to flee for their lives.

Tubo took a big step forward from slavery to feudalism.

Let’s look at the current situation in Tubo.

Before the natural disaster, Tubo experienced more than twenty years of turmoil, with forces from all directions fighting each other, and the lives of slaves and ordinary people were extremely difficult.

After encountering natural disasters, slave owners increasingly exploited slaves and civilians in order to quickly recover blood.

In the last few years, the national counselor Dingchi Gongjia came to power. Although the various forces in Tubo temporarily compromised and stopped the war.

But the lives of slaves and civilians at the bottom have not improved.

On the contrary, in order to satisfy the ambitions of the national master, many civilians were captured and became members of the French Guard Army.

This also means that they have been reduced from civilians to slaves, and their social status has dropped again.

Although Tubo can maintain temporary peace by relying on its strong military power, as long as a point of contradiction appears, everything will soon come to nothing.

At this time, the Tibetans were somewhat similar to the Huns.

The power of forcible bonding can completely destroy it by just breaking a few nodes.

Thinking of this, Song Yang suddenly said in a deep voice:

"I understand!"

Song Yang said a word, and all three people looked at him.

I don't know what he understood.

Song Yang looked at the three of them and said, "I am saying that what you three said is correct."

"Well……"

What are the concepts of all three, and whose opinion is adopted?

"What you three said all makes sense, so your opinions can be adopted." Song Yang said with a smile.

"ah?"

The opinions of Yu Ming and Wei Nan are at least somewhat similar and can be blended together.

But Zhao Yang's opinion is to ignore it, which is contrary to Yu Ming Weinan's opinion.

Song Yang took the pen and paper and looked at everyone and said, "Zhao Yang is right. What is the biggest problem in Tubo now?"

"slave!"

The three of them agreed on this point.

Both officials and the construction of corps need ordinary people, but slave owners need ordinary people the least.

Zhao Yang ignored what he said because the slave owners had too much power.

"Yes! Slave or slavery!"

Song Yang wrote three words on the paper: "Slavery."

"As long as this is overturned, the problem of Tibet can be fundamentally solved."

"Without the slave owners, the people will become civilians. Whether they are exiled officials or production and construction corps, they can be established."

Song Yang put a cross on slavery and looked at the three of them and said.

“Overthrow slavery?”

The word slavery has never been officially mentioned.

Dynasties change, times evolve, everything goes as it should.

The ancients summed up their experience and the rule was that most commanders summarized the previous dynasties, but not the present.

It has been almost a thousand years since the slavery of the Central Plains Dynasty was overthrown. The changes a thousand years ago were also due to the change of dynasties, which prompted changes in the system.

Regarding the abolition of slavery, the ruling class's understanding is that the rulers feel pity for the slaves.

And no one has considered that this is an issue of liberating productivity.

Song Yang first explained to Yu Ming the necessity of overthrowing slavery and liberating productivity.

Then he talked about the inevitability of slavery being eliminated by the times.

These things are included in the history section of the encyclopedia, Song Yang only needs to read from the text.

Yu Ming and the other two felt that it was unfathomable.

Once again, I admire Song Yang’s summary and observation skills.

"So slavery in Tubo is bound to perish. Now this demise has reached a critical point. We only need to set a fire to completely overthrow the slave owners in Tubo."

Song Yang is confident about this.

The current time point and development status of Tubo are very similar to the early stages of the great uprising of his era.

"This...the opinions on arranging the generals..." What Zhao Yang just said was that he ignored Tubo.

Song Yang first said that he agreed with his opinion, and then said that he would overthrow the Tubo slave owners.

In Zhao Yang's view, overthrowing the Tubo slave owners would involve touching the Daqian army.

Song Yang shook his head and smiled: "General Zhao, the best way to overthrow a system is to dismantle its foundation from the bottom up."

"Bottom up?" The three of them were a little confused.

"That's right! To overthrow the rule of the Tibetan slave owners, we must rely on the power of the Tibetan people! The power of the people is great! As long as the Tubo people are mobilized, the slave owners will be vulnerable!" Song Yang said while writing on the paper

Four more words were written on it.

“People Power!”

Yu Ming and the others looked at these four words and frowned.

Yu Ming and Wei Nan were thoughtful and quickly understood.

Jiangzhou and Fangzhou both used the power of the people.

Song Yang distributed the land to the people and won the support of the people. Whether it was suppressing bandits or resisting foreign enemies, he was able to do whatever he wanted.

The people of Jiangzhou have unprecedented support for Song Yang.

Zhao Yang said with some worry: "The power of civilians is too great, will it endanger..."

Having said this, Zhao Yang did not continue talking, but looked at Song Yang.

Song Yang smiled and said: "As long as we maintain the advanced nature of the ruling class and give the people what they need, this ruling class will continue."

"We might as well think about the problem from another angle and regard ourselves as the ruling class. What are we going to do? Is it to rule and exploit the people?"

"If it is just to exploit the people, will we also reach our critical point when the people are too poor to be exploited?"

"I think there will be a day when the people, because they cannot stand the exploitation, will rise up and overthrow our regime."

"So how to deal with it?"

"It's just a matter of putting our identity and status in the right place."

"We must change from rulers to servers!"

"Serve the people and seek welfare for the people."

"The people are living a good life, and we are living a good life. If we can gain the support of the people, our status can be stable. Will the material security we receive be less than the wealth obtained from exploitation?"

"Suppose the people only have ten copper coins, and we just take away eight coins from them, the people will fight us tooth and nail."

"But if the people have ten taels of silver, what if we only take one tael?"

Song Yang listened to the words. He said a lot today, but he also knew that these three people might not be able to understand.

"Forget it, let's not mention this for now. Let's talk about Tubo."

"The difficulty in Tubo lies in slavery. The best way to overthrow slavery is to launch a movement of civilians and slaves in Tubo."

"And what role do we, Dagan, play in this movement?"

"I think it should be a guide rather than a direct participant."

"Free the slaves and civilians in Tibet and let them live a better life."

"We must provide them with basic support in terms of ideas and concepts, and we must also provide them with weapons support from the master."

"But the battle needs to be fought by themselves!"

"The angry slaves took it upon themselves to eliminate the slave owners and eliminate the mountains pressing on their heads, so that they could satisfy their own grievances."

"Only when you vent your grievances can you truly transform from a slave to a commoner."

"I think that by then, the Tibetan people will thank us and actively invite us to take over the government affairs of Tibet."

Song Yang seemed confident when he said these words.

But Yu Ming, Wei Nan and Zhao Yang were a little worried.

If Tubo civilians could solve everything by themselves.

Then what else is there to do?

This is like making a wedding dress for someone else.

"The guiding ideology, strategic principles, weapons and equipment all come from Dagan. I believe that the Tubo people will eventually choose to stand with Dagan."

"Also, don't forget, we still have Dusong Dezan in our hands!"

Song Yang said meaningfully.

Mentioning the boy Dusong Dezan, Yu Ming and the others understood it instantly.

The Tibetan people had overthrown the rule of the slave owners, and they would need a nominal leader like Dusongdezan.

Daqian could even manipulate Dusongdezan to lead the people in such a revolution.

The war was left to the Tibetan people to fight, and Da Gan was responsible for managing it.

In this way, the situation in Tubo can be firmly controlled.

"Your Majesty has far-sighted vision, and I can't reach it!" Yu Ming and the other three stood up at the same time and clasped their fists.

Song Yang smiled and said nothing.

This is not his foresight, but the contribution of the encyclopedia.

History can not only be used for reference, but also directly used for learning and application.

"I have already stated the overall policy, but we still have to think about how to operate it in detail."

"When the mountain camp arrives, we will have more room for maneuver. Let's listen to Lao Xiao's opinion then. He also knows a lot about Tubo."

"If we need to support Dusong Dezan in returning to Tibet, we may need to do it ourselves in the early stage."

"If we plan for the lower-level people to move, we will need to invest a lot of manpower to go deep into the Tubo area."

"How to operate it specifically? You go back and think about it carefully. We will discuss it at the next meeting."

Song Yang assigned tasks after the meeting, and the three of them took their orders.

Just as they were about to adjourn the meeting, the guards came to report, and the Tibetans came to call for formation again.
