20. Article 6 of Commercial Routes
At this point, in the Battle of Taideng City, the Tang family once again achieved a brilliant victory.
After passing Qingxi Pass, the Tang army once again expanded hundreds of miles of land, captured the entire marquis, killed the Great Lun of the West, Yunling, Xifan, and the Great Lun of the City Defense Envoy Lun Dongchai, the Lacheng City Defense Envoy Sita Yang Zhu, and the Taideng City Defense Envoy Da Xi Xiaojun. They also defeated the Qinghai City Defense Envoy Lun Tujiali, captured the Huichuan City Defense Envoy Lun Qiyan, and surrendered the Cage Officer Ma Dingde, and killed the Xifan enemy's seventeenth, the cage officer 54, the sixth marked tiger and leopard skin warriors, and more than 13,000 soldiers below, captured Xifan soldiers, 20,000 men and women, and destroyed seventy places in the fortress, seized more than 10,000 armor, weapons, flags, two thousand war horses, and thousands of cattle and sheep.
Xifan lost not only the sacrificial states and tens of thousands of soldiers. This disastrous defeat also means that their decades of operations in Yunnan and Jiannan were destroyed by the loss of the army, garrisons, cities, and land, and Nanzhao also betrayed. Now, the southern road of Xifan is only the only one-line base such as Nangong, Saigong, Lacheng, Guhong, Wuyoucheng, etc., and the original soldiers and horses of Shenchuan and Huichuan were almost all lost, and they could only hide at the iron bridge.
The change of hands in the state caused a chain reaction - Ma Chongying's plan to siege Dunhuang in Shazhou failed and he retreated back to Liangzhou in Hexi in panic.
The great host Shang Qixin'er faced the Gao Yue Shoshi Army who fought from Hechi and Weiyuan, as well as the Shence Weirong Army, Shence Xuanwei Army, Shatuo and Tuyuhun and other tribes with Tang, and was too tired to deal with the military strength. Since July, the Shoshi Army has captured Qiuchi Mountain and opened up the road from Xingyuan to Qin, Wei and other prefectures; the Weirong Army and Xuanwei Army have captured Shuiluo, while Shatuo and Tuyuhun have captured half of Huizhou.
Shang Qi Xin'er was so angry that she impeached Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying, and asked them to be responsible for the chain failure after the confrontation with the Tang family!
In the city of Luoshe, Chisong Dezan had grown ten years old almost overnight. He had no energy to arbitrate the internal strife and disputes between the important officials. When the wooden slips that were begging for hiding and covering the blood were placed in front of him, Chisong Dezan actually burst into tears, and tears were sprinkled on it, spots.
"Ceed peace from my uncle's family, ask for peace..." Chisong Dezan called Qu Jizan and asked him to send the Tang envoy.
Qu Jiazan was very frightened and said that I was also one of them when I planned the Xiji Jie Alliance. If I were to be an envoy, I would probably be cut off by the Emperor of the Tang family.
"You, Shang Jiezan, Ma Chongying misled Ben Yongzhong!" Zanpu beat his chest and stamped his feet, but Qu Jizan had no life to kowtow, and refused to go to Chang'an City. Zanpu had no choice but to bow his head and cry.
At this time, in the museum in front of Samye Monastery, Zamp's favorite concubine, Po Yong, worshipped Padmasambhava in front of Padmasambhava in red and horror.
Padmasambhava hurriedly asked what was going on.
Concubine Bo Yong covered her face and started crying, then pointed to her abdomen and said that I already had Zanpu's child. If it was a daughter, it would be fine. If it was a son, it would definitely arouse Queen Cai Bang's jealousy, and the mother and son would be killed by her.
So Bo Yongfei begs Padmasambhava and said that the entire plateau said that you are the most powerful monk. Please help me to overcome this disaster.
Padmasambhava accepted the request of Concubine Bo Yong, and entered the palace and told Zampo: "The child in this concubine's womb is the reincarnation of your deceased eldest son, Mu Chisongbo!"
Before Zanpu could get out of the sorrow, he listened to Padmasambhava's words in a daze, and he was still a little suspicious, "Why did Mou Chisongbo lead to Boyong's belly?"
"He can't give up his love with his parents and brothers."
Upon hearing this, Zamp's tears came out again.
Then, Queen Cai Bang slapped the golden cup with cheese on the ground, and the snow-white juice splashed on the smooth floor, and the queen's face twisted, "Mu Chisongbo is my eldest son, how could he be born in the belly of that yasha-like slutty woman?"
She knew that she was in a silence, and Concubine Bo Yong and Padmasambhava colluded with her, making her afraid to attack the child in Concubine Bo Yong's womb: Who would have caused her to reincarnate her dead eldest son?
"The Madhyamaka school of Padmasambhava and the Han Zen school of Mahayana monks, no matter which monk, they swayed their lips and tongues full of lies and bewitching, sucked the country's ointment and blood, and took away my two sons (Muni and Moudi). Our true belief in the plateau should be Bon religion, Bon religion!" In the end, Queen Cai Bang vented all her resentment on Buddhism, but Zanpu worshipped Buddhism. She dared not speak out, but buried her hostility in her heart.
Fortunately, she can still rely on Mou Ru, who has not entered the Buddhist temple, her true third son.
Now, within Xifan, the contradiction between the queen and the concubine, the contradiction between the Madhyamaka school and Zen school, the contradiction between Bon religion and Buddhism, and the contradiction between the important minister Shang Lun quickly began to intertwin, and continued to expand with the military defeat.
Sooner or later, it will turn into a glutton, devouring and destroying this country.
At the foot of Taideng City, Gao Yue, Wei Gao and Zheng Xi looked at the various tributes sent by Nanzhao with interest. These were about to be delivered to the Daming Palace in the capital, but it also means that through border trade, they will also enter Xichuan, Dongchuan, and even Xingyuan, Fengxiang as commodities.
There are five major trade routes that Gao Yue has mastered:
Hanchuan can lead to Shandong East Road, Jingnan and even further away Eyue. Where can I buy good lacquerware, porcelain, fruit, and wood;
Dazhu Road leads to Banan and Kui Mansion, and buys goldware from there;
The trade between Lizhou Road connects Xichuan, Dongchuan, silk fabrics, salt and tea is very prosperous;
Feng and Xing all the way to Fengxiang, Jingyuan, cattle and sheep, grains, wine, tea and cotton cloth trade is also very developed;
Of course, there was also the Jingyuan Water Transport that he had mastered. He directly did business with the Uighurs through the Yellow River, and sold luxury goods such as blankets, diamonds, pearls, jade, spices, etc. in the Western Regions and Central Asia. He then sold silk, tea, paper, etc. produced in Tangyuan, and increased his wealth by one after another.
Not to mention that Yangzhou leads to famous Jinzhou, Shangzhou, and Luogu Road directly leads to Jingji and other secondary commercial roads.
But now, Gao Yue is very determined to get a share of the trade with Nanzhao.
The person responsible for introducing the tribute was Zheng Zhi. He went all the way to Nanzhao and knew the local customs, specialties, astronomy and geography, and now he is well aware of them.
Now Zheng Zhi is preparing to write his experiences and experiences for "Nanzhao". Gao Yue naturally supports him and says that he will give it to the paper and Diaozifang in Yangzhou to carry out printing.
The first one introduced by Zheng Zhi was a specialty of the Nanzhao war: the horse from Yuechengchuan.
In fact, when Gao Yue saw the horse of Yue, he was shocked.
In his impression, the horses in Yunnan are Dian horses, and Dian horses should be short, gentle, good at endurance, and good at walking on mountain roads.
