Chapter 769: Emperor 3 Since the Tang Dynasty, it has always been the Tubo people who have gone back on their word to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty or troubled the Central Plains, and there has never been a matter of the Tang Dynasty taking the initiative to send troops to attack Tubo.
The Tibetans were very shocked and rushed to meet the battle, but they lost the other.
Kong Sheng personally led the main force of the Shence Army, equipped with artillery and firearms, from the governor of Liangzhou to Tubo, and with the cooperation of the three-way army, it took only one month to reach the city of Luo.
Although the Tibetan Khan Muni took out the previous alliance between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty to sue for peace, Kong Sheng still coldly refused.
Muni Khan had no choice but to lead a small number of Tibetan magnates and 10,000 military horses to flee from Tibet, and entered the territory of the Western Regions Turgish, preparing to unite Qarluq and Turgish and the countries of the Western Regions to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
Kong Sheng was extremely strong in destroying Tibet.
Without any hesitation, he set up the 41st province of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo, and included Tubo in the real sense of the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty in accordance with the Tang system, and planned and governed it as a whole.
The news of Kong Sheng's extermination of Tubo shook the surrounding countries, especially the countries and ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and began to panic.
Under the leadership of Kong Sheng, the Tang Dynasty began to immigrate to Tubo in batches from the populous Jiangnan and other places, although the Tubo Plateau is a bitter cold place, and there are not many people who want to come, but the imperial court has given considerable policy preferences, as long as those who voluntarily come to Tubo to live and work in peace and contentment, the pioneer land is owned by individuals, and the tax is halved for three years.
The Tubo military town was also set up, and part of the troops of the Han army were drawn from the inner army to take turns to garrison Tubo.
After settling down in Tibet for three months.
Muni Khan united with Qarlu and Turgish to raise 100,000 troops to attack, Kong Sheng fought a decisive battle with the invading enemy at Dabolu, and after a month-long fierce battle, most of the coalition forces were annihilated on the spot, except for a small number of people who fled south of the Green Ridge.
Muni Khan died in battle, and so did the Qarlu and the Turgish chieftains.
These two tribes of the Western Regions are also equivalent to existing in name only.
In this battle, Kong Sheng's Shenwei Invincible General Cannon played an important role.
The roar of the cannon turned into a terrifying nightmare for all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions.
Kong Sheng led his army to repair in Tubo Province for three months.
Just when the people of the world thought that Kong Sheng would return to Beijing in triumph, Kong Sheng suddenly ordered the soldiers and horses belonging to the Northwest Military Town to pour out of the nest and attack the north of the Tianshan Mountains from Ganliang.
Kong Sheng, on the other hand, sent troops from the province of Tibet to attack the south of the Tianshan Mountains.
In fact, it means that it is an attack, and where Kong Sheng's military banner goes, dozens of cities in the Western Regions either abandon the city and flee or surrender on the spot.
Kong Sheng established two provinces in the northern and southern regions of Xinjiang in the Western Regions, and adopted the same administrative system as the Tibetan province.
Deposed many of the governors set up by the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and set up two military towns in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, with the same system as Tubo.
As a result, a large number of Han troops were stationed in the newly established provinces of Tubo and the north and south of Xinjiang, and the strength of the army was slightly insufficient.
After careful consideration, in addition to ordering the military department to recruit troops, Kong Sheng ordered the troops of several major military towns in the interior to be reduced, and the troops were dispersed to the border military towns, and at the same time the overall strength of the three military towns in Tubo and the Western Regions was enriched.
A large number of immigrants from the Central Plains migrated to Tibet and the Western Regions under the promotion of the government and the encouragement of preferential policies.
On the Silk Road from Chang'an to the Western Regions, there was an endless stream of Han people who dragged their families to settle in Xinxing Province.
Kong Sheng is not worried about the lack of population.
As long as the economy is removed and fertility is encouraged, the population will explode within a decade.
There's no problem with that.
A year later.
Kong Sheng led the main force of the Shence Army back to Chang'an.
The repeated expeditions to Tibet and the Western Regions did not consume much of the Tang Dynasty's national strength.
Because Kong Sheng adopted the strategic policy of using war to nourish the war and obtain logistics baggage on the spot, and a large number of immigrants entered Tibet and the Western Regions to pioneer, over time, the overall national strength of the Tang Dynasty will surely rise.
Not long after Kong Sheng returned to Chang'an, Hui Khan Ye Hu wrote a letter to the Tang Dynasty and voluntarily became the forty-fourth province of the Tang Dynasty.
Ye Hu was pro-Tang first, and secondly, he was also frightened, the powerful clans in the Western Regions and the relatively powerful country of Tubo were all wiped out by Kong Sheng, and he could still leave a Hui Hui alone Sooner or later, Hui Hui will also be the meat on Kong Sheng's board.
It was precisely in recognition of this that Ye Hu took the initiative to naturalize.
The imperial court immediately set up the Huifu Province and the Mobei Military Town.
Almost at the same time, Nanzhao was automatically naturalized.
The imperial court also set up the Nanzhao Province and the Nanzhao Military Town.
In another year, Kong Sheng suddenly ordered another cross-sea expedition to destroy Goryeo and Silla. and Japan.
The islands of the coastal countries such as Ryukyu, Luzon, and Maoren were all surrendered.
In the past few hundred years, although the Central Plains has set up a governing body in the Western Regions, it has not actually incorporated the Western Regions into its territory.
This is still the case in the Western Regions, not to mention the Tibetans and Hui.
However, in the past few years, Kong Sheng's southern expedition to the north has almost eliminated many hidden dangers in the original border areas of the Tang Dynasty, turned the territory of those friendly neighbors into his own, and achieved effective control.
More importantly, this expedition across the sea, the return of overseas countries and islands, is even more significant.

Kong Sheng was reluctant to give up halfway, he knew that it might not be difficult to take these wild places, but it was not easy to achieve long-term rule.
After much consideration, he still adopted the strategy of mass immigration from the Central Plains, and at the same time vigorously developed the navigation and shipbuilding industries, opened up smooth sea routes for trade and trade, and relied on the Han people to achieve overseas control and cultural assimilation.
Of course, the necessary means of cold-blooded repression are indispensable.
Whether it was the Western Regions of Tibet, the Southern Zhao Hui, or Goryeo and the overseas islands, rebellions against Han rule broke out one after another in the early days, but they were all suppressed by the Han army by forceful means.
In order to make an example and deter overseas barbarians, Kong Sheng even organized more than 100 artillery pieces to bombard a small island surrounded by Japan.
The overwhelming artillery fire almost leveled the island.
Overseas barbarians are frightened, and their resistance is gradually weakening.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the fourth year after the little emperor Li Xi ascended the throne and became emperor, and the territory of the Tang Empire has expanded infinitely, and the territory has nearly doubled compared with the past.
And when it comes to actual control and radiation, there is even more.
Changan.
The autumn breeze is cool, and the military flag hunting is flying.
Emperor Li Xi stood on the gate tower of Chang'an City, looking at the southwest direction, silent.
When he ascended the throne four years ago and became emperor, Li Xi was only a twelve-year-old boy, but now he has grown into a tall young man, with thick eyebrows and a wide forehead, and an angular face, and he has vaguely had a bit of the bearing of the emperor Li Heng.
Zhu Huiguang, the provincial eunuch of the Inner Chamberlain, stood behind the emperor and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Princess Zheng and Mrs.
Ning Guo gave birth to a daughter, and I hereby ask Your Majesty to give her a name."
Li Xi sighed, didn't look back, and said softly: "Provincial Supervisor Zhu, this is King Zheng's fifth child, right Sister Ji Guohuang gave birth to a son the year before last, Su Wu and Guyun County Lord gave birth to a son and a daughter successively, Fengyang County Lord also gave birth to a son, and now Ning Guohuang Sister gave birth to another daughter, Zheng Wangfu Ding Xingwang, it is really gratifying."
"It's the Miss Yang family and Mrs.
Nie who have nothing to do so far."
Zhu Huiguang smiled lightly: "King Zheng has worked hard for the country, and over the years, he has fought in the south and the north, and the time to reunite with several princesses in Beijing is limited.
Now that King Zheng has personally rebelled against Nanzhao, he heard that he is almost about to return to Beijing in triumph. ” "Yes, King Zheng has opened up territory for me in the Tang Dynasty over the years, and has achieved great achievements, although I am not worthy of the name, I have also become the most accomplished emperor since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Provincial Supervisor, do you say yes" Li Xi's voice was clearly a little self-deprecating, and Zhu Huiguang couldn't hear it.
Zhu Huiguang hung his head in embarrassment, not daring to answer the emperor's words.
Today's political landscape is not what it was four years ago.
Under the central control of Kong Sheng, the entire state apparatus of the Tang Dynasty operated in an orderly manner, and the authority that the emperor could have was pitiful.
And the current emperor Li Xi is not the child Li Xi of the past four years.
As he grew older, the little ambition in his heart gradually began to grow, and many unwillingness gradually swelled.
This is actually inevitable.
"Your Majesty, let's give the daughter of King Zheng a name first, this is Mrs.
Ningguo's request."
Zhu Huiguang avoided the topic of the emperor.
Li Xi suddenly smiled lonely: "How can I dare to give the name to the daughter of King Zheng, King Zheng is the descendation of the gods, the Tang Dynasty has a sea of purple gold beams, or wait for King Zheng to return to Beijing in triumph to name his daughter, I will not be disgusting." ” Zhu Huiguang fell silent.
He suddenly realized that the emperor had changed a lot in the last half a year.
Originally, the emperor was hidden in the deep palace on weekdays and rarely interacted with the outside world, but since Kong Sheng personally led the troops to quell the Nanzhao rebellion and left Chang'an, he began to frequently go out of the palace to communicate with the Li Tang clan, and even took the initiative to inspect and observe the Government Affairs Yuan and the Military Affairs Yuan.
Zhu Huiguang's heart chuckled, and the emperor of the heart said that he would not have ambitions, if the emperor wants to seize power and want to be a veritable emperor, this will become a mortal enemy with Kong Sheng.
But the emperor has almost nothing, except for the false name of the emperor, what can he use to fight against Kong Sheng It's a dead end.
Zhu Huiguang broke out in a cold sweat.
Kong Sheng's authority in the Tang Dynasty and the opposition is unmatched, and with the naturalization of overseas barbarians such as the Western Regions of Tibet and the Southern Zhao Hui and Goryeo Japan, the power of the Tang Dynasty has skyrocketed, and the people's livelihood is stable and prosperous.
At this time, even if Kong Sheng took the initiative to cede power to the emperor, no one in the world would agree.
Li Xi turned his head to look at Zhu Huiguang, and suddenly said softly: "I want to go to King Zhao's Mansion to have a banquet with Brother Zhao, Zhu Provincial Supervisor, take someone to open the way."
Zhu Huiguang took a deep breath and bowed down: "The slave obeys the order" Zhu Huiguang led people to accompany the emperor into the palace of King Zhao, and the Li Department of King Zhao personally greeted him in front of the mansion, Zhu Huiguang saw that the two brothers were so close, and his heart became very heavy.
What he feared was finally coming. oshow7 t1706231537:
