Great Tang Southern Emperor

Chapter 121 Hands-on (4)

And the destruction of the mechanism is also the main reason why the mechanism that died together is ineffective. After all, although the mechanism is reliable and convenient, it is not without weaknesses-to put it bluntly, the mechanism is actually a set of machine systems, which means that this thing is just a machine .Well, since it is a machine, it naturally follows the mechanical principle, that is, it must be composed of various parts or units to be called a machine. It is impossible to call it a machine just by a single workpiece, which is just a part. .

And a whole set of mechanism is divided into many units and parts, each unit and part is essential, lack of any one can cause the mechanism to fail or even be damaged, in other words, as long as the mechanism is destroyed At any link, the entire mechanism will stop running, and it may even only need a mere stone to jam the key parts, thereby stopping the operation of the entire mechanism or even scrapping it directly.

However, this problem should not be considered a weakness in the eyes of the Tianzhu people. After all, the location of this mechanism is in the basement, which is the headquarters of 'Mahe Tian', and those who can enter this basement are the core members of the PL religion. It will not damage the mechanism here, but will carry out maintenance and overhaul every once in a while to ensure the normal operation of the mechanism.

But looking at the current situation, there is obviously something wrong with them internally. It is very likely that there are spies, and they must be the high-level officials of 'Mahatian'. Hands and feet above.

Such an important thing as an institution cannot be interfered with by ordinary congregants. Those who are maintained are all cultivated by 'Mahatian' and are responsible for the dead soldiers who are absolutely loyal to the PL. These dead soldiers only recognize their identities and do not recognize It doesn't matter, your identity is not enough, even if you are the biological son of 'Da Maha' Singh, don't even think about going in, if you dare to break in and kill on the spot, even Singh dare not say anything about it-so you can contact It is definitely the high level of 'Mahatian' who went to the organ and destroyed it.

But now, according to what the captain said, this mechanism has obviously been tampered with by someone. Although it will not be scrapped, at least it should be a part of the card owner, and it should not be repaired in a short time. alright.

"Hehehe, it's really a good plan. We didn't lose this time." The Tianzhu people were also desperate. You must know that destroying this place should be unreliable. Now he just hopes that he can delay here and let the people in the database All the information in it was destroyed—they also stored a lot of oil in the database, in order to be able to destroy it in the first place.

In addition, after all, this is the most important database of the entire "Mahatian" or PL sect. It not only records all their spies and hidden members in the Tianzhu Continent, but also records some secrets and information about the Tianzhu Continent. Almost all the internal secrets of the PL religion, if these materials are released, not only will Datang get huge benefits, but it will also make the losses of 'Mahatian' and Brahmans even more painful, and it is not impossible for them to recover from a setback .

The most important of these is the list of spies. If this list is obtained by Datang, and if they follow the instructions, more than [-]% of them will definitely be arrested, because many spies have single-line contacts, and the communication conditions are not developed. Even if some of them were arrested, the rest of the spies would not know about it. Even if Datang never announced the identities of these spies, those spies who were still hiding might not even know about Datang's arrest. They will know that these people who were arrested are their companions.

Once this happens, it means that the hundreds of years of operation of 'Mahatian' in Tianzhu mainland will be turned into cannon fodder. Even if Singer escapes, it will be difficult to lead 'Mahatian' to rise again .

Another example is Tianzhu Mixin, which also records a lot of secrets. For example, in the mineral data, there are many secrets that have been discovered by "Mahatian" but have not been announced, but have been controlled by the PL Sect. The mines, including what is suspected to be the largest gold mine in the history of Tianzhu, the reserves are not clear, but at least PL has been mining for 50 years since its discovery, but it has not been dug out yet.

And this is just a gold mine. In addition, there are silver mines, copper mines, iron mines, etc., and even some treasure maps. It can be said that if this batch of information is obtained by Datang and the minerals inside are mined If it comes out, then it will be enough for Datang to live a dozen fat years - just five years of rest and recuperation, Datang has already surpassed the previous peak. If they are given another ten years, who knows what they will develop Where to go?Which country in this world can check and balance them?Can their desire to restore the country be realized?

The last is the secrets of the PL religion, which contains a lot of information that cannot be released to the public and must be recorded and preserved. These things are the most important secrets of the PL religion, and there are many records about wet work. If they are stabbed out by Datang, then the reputation of the PL religion, which is not well-known in the first place, will be completely stink. Even if Datang is driven away in the future and the country is re-established, the rulers and people will never trust them again ——Because in these wet activities, many dynasty overthrow incidents are related to them, and some of them are even done by them, but they are just pretending to be done by outsiders, and the reason is because of these countries They were not respected as the state religion (not all Tianzhu countries are pl believers), which blocked their interests, so they were plotted by pl.

Such a sect that can subvert a country for its own benefit at any time, which king would dare to believe in it?

So these materials must be destroyed—now that it is impossible to complete the plan to let the Tang army be buried here, then we must choose the most important thing to do, and destroying the materials is the most important thing. This is also the main task that Singer gave him before he left.Moreover, he believed that some of his companions had already discovered that there was a problem with the mechanism, and they probably had already started to ignite the fire manually. His own task was to hold back Datang's army as much as possible and buy time for his companions.

But it's a pity, although he wanted to do this very much, but Datang is obviously not a fool, and it's not like they don't understand the reason why the villain died because of talking too much, so when the Tianzhu man opened his mouth to speak, a bullet sealed his mouth Mouth——Bullets were shot from his mouth and shot out from the back of his head. He also lost the ability to speak forever, and could only slowly sink into the darkness with endless regrets.

Chapter 1175 Turkic Sinicization

Chapter 122 Turkic Sinicization

"Bah! You're really overthinking yourself, you're just an ant, and you dare to resist Datang Tianwei?"

Sighing at the corpse, the captain put away his pistol and ordered: "Everyone immediately search all the Shimen according to Wu Shi's team, and must find out all the databases."

"Yes." Everyone agreed loudly, and began to go to every corner of the hall under the leadership of their respective corporal leaders or chiefs—in these corners, there are various stone gates, and inside the stone gates are likely to be the ones they need to find. data of.

Soon, one stone door after another was opened, and there were all kinds of things inside, including armor, supplies, food, toilets, and housing, as well as the database they needed most—— Rows of bookshelves, with stacks of bay leaves (the ancient Tianzhu people mainly used them to record their qualifications. At this time, the paper of the Tang Dynasty had just been introduced to Tianzhu for a few years, and "Mahatian" did not have that Time and effort moved all the contents on the Bayeux onto the paper) to be neatly stacked, and this is what Datang needs most.

Datang now urgently needs to understand Tianzhu in depth, and it is undoubtedly the most convenient and direct way to understand it from the text, but Tianzhu mainland has been beaten and beaten for thousands of years, and you have come and gone, and finally calmed down. Foreign enemies have invaded again... Basically, when there is no stability, it is often divided into many countries, and the entire continent is in chaos.

Therefore, there are very few forces that can gather the data of Tianzhu, but it is also a coincidence that the PL religion is just that few forces-they have taken root in Tianzhu for thousands of years, even if they are collected unconsciously, The stored information is definitely the most comprehensive, just need to sort it out briefly, that is an encyclopedia of Tianzhu, an epic masterpiece called Tianzhu, which is very helpful for Datang to understand Tianzhu.

……

The stone gates were opened one after another, and the contents inside were slowly moved out—of course, things were not always so smooth. With the opening of the stone gates, there were occasional gunshots and shouts. The sound of killing and screaming.Obviously not all the warehouses are empty, and some warehouses still have dead soldiers who have been left behind. They either hid in the warehouses in an attempt to ambush the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, or, as the Tianzhu man guessed, hid A fire is being lit in the database in an attempt to burn the data within.

Fortunately, Datang was also fully prepared for the people in the warehouse, so there was no loss of manpower, only a few unlucky ones were attacked and injured a little bit. Bayeux's database has nothing to lose.Although it is a pity that some materials have been burned, more than [-]% of the materials are still there, and even some databases have not been accessed by anyone, and the materials inside are still there intact.

This is undoubtedly good news for Datang. It can be said that once the translation of these materials is completed, Tianzhu will truly become the territory of Datang, and it is impossible for anyone to take it away from Datang.

"My lord, all the original materials are here." All the materials were packed and carried outside, and there happened to be a large square inside the candy factory, just enough to store the harvest this time for inventory.

As for the lord mentioned by the captain, he is the lord of Tacheng, the highest consul in the entire Tacheng—Biande.

Biande is not a Han Chinese, in fact he is a Turkic. Since Eastern Turkic was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty 20 years ago, the old Turkic land has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty carried out various reforms and immigrants here. Realizing borders, encouraging breeding, building cities, building roads, etc., but the most important point is to change customs and popularize education. There are schools built by the Tang Dynasty in various parts of Turkic, and countless Turkic children have entered the school to study and study.

Now that 20 years have passed, many Turkic children have become successful in their studies. What's more, they have passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. A few years ago, there was even a child who was ranked the top three, which completely caused a sensation in the whole world. In the Turkic prairie, countless Turkic people cheered happily, and they were quite honored, and they recognized Datang even more in their hearts-I believe that in another ten years, after more children graduate from the school, the Turkic place It will completely become the land of Datang.

In other words, it may not be more than ten years. In fact, there are already signs of Sinicization in the Turkic prairie today. All Turkic people have been influenced by their children and Han neighbors around them, and they have begun to learn Han culture. Chinese, write Chinese characters, celebrate Chinese festivals, follow Han etiquette... Some people speak Chinese more fluently than Tang people. If you close your eyes and talk, you may not know that the person opposite you is a Turkic person, but you may think it is a Han person. Well - these people have been gradually sinicized by the Tang Dynasty, and they always call themselves Tang people, and their recognition of the Tang Dynasty has long surpassed the former Turkic Empire.

Today's Turkic people only know that there is Tang but not Turkic. They only think that they are Turkic people of the Tang Empire, not the people of the Turkic Empire (just like the Eros in later generations are a nation of China, but Not like the Ross Nationals).

The reason why under such circumstances, Li Zhen felt that it would take another ten years to kill, was because although the younger generation of Turkic people recognized the identity of the Tang people, after all, the older generation had not disappeared completely. He still occupies a very high position in the Turks. If they can't think about it one day or the Tang Dynasty suddenly declines, then they are likely to rebel again-but without the support of the people, their rebellion is destined to be nothing but It's nothing more than a lot of thunder and rain, but this is a rebellion after all, and it will bring a lot of trouble to Datang.

But it will be different after ten years. Twenty years ago, the older generation of Turkic people were all over the age of 20 (as for those under the age of 15, they were all sent to schools to learn Chinese culture. After 15 years of baptism, they have long been naturalized as Han Chinese), and now 20 years have passed, they are all in their 20s and 40s, and most of them are still alive, but if we wait another ten years, there will be a large number of these people death—the average life expectancy in the Tang Dynasty was about 55 to 40 years old, while the Turkic land with harsh living conditions was harsh and the average life expectancy was lower. It should be about [-] years old, which means that after ten years, the Turkic people now The older generation in China will disappear in batches, and will no longer become an invisible obstacle to the Tang Dynasty's rule of Turks.

Chapter 1176 Biander

Chapter 123 Biander

Of course, the average life expectancy is the average number after all. Although there are many who died early and may not have lived past the age of 30, but there are also many who are old and immortal. Maybe after another 20 years, they may not be able to survive. But judging from the situation of the Turks, even if they didn't all die, they would eventually become a minority among the minority, and they would never be able to cause a big storm.

What's more, after ten years, the new generation will also grow up and become the new backbone of the Turkic prairie, and become the new controller of the prairie. When Tang's incident came out, even if the older generation conspired to rebel and the new generation supported them, even if they wanted to rebel, how much trouble could they cause?

Especially when some of the children entered the court and became the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, they even brought their tribes and became the vested interests of the Tang Dynasty. They had no worries about food and clothing, and no longer suffered from hunger and cold, but These benefits are based on the stability of the Tang Dynasty. Only when the Tang dynasty is stable and the situation is stable, can they enjoy the power and benefits that the Tang Dynasty brought to them.Therefore, in order to protect their own interests, in order to continue to live a life without worrying about food and clothing, they will take the initiative to appease the grasslands and prevent their own ethnic groups from rebelling, even without the ruler taking the initiative to order them to do so.

And as the first group of children to receive Sinicization education, Biande is one of the representatives-speaking of which this person's tribe has appeared before, that is the Biande tribe, Li Daoyuan back then, and now the big shopkeeper of Li Zhen Trading Co., Ltd. The imperial court's sheep cannibalism policy, personally went to the grassland to sell goods in exchange for wool, and this Biande tribe was the first tribe he experienced.

It is precisely because of this that the Biande tribe saw the great strength of the Tang Dynasty in that transaction, so they were also the first tribe to accept Sinicization, and in order to shorten the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, they also changed their clan surnames, The original Biande tribe was changed to the current Bi's tribe. The whole tribe took Bi as their surname, and they were fully Sinicized. Biande is the best among them, and also the most perfect fruit in the whole tribe.

Speaking of Biander, this person’s ability is absolutely extraordinary. He was able to become a Jinshi in high school ten years ago (counting from 20 years ago, it means that he only studied for ten years before he became a Jinshi, although Everyone talks about the ten-year cold window, but everyone should also know that studying has nothing to do with the length of time. Some scholars may not be admitted to Jinshi after studying for a lifetime. If they can become Jinshi in ten years, his talent is absolutely top-notch. ), and then spent five years to climb to the position of the city lord of the tower city on the fifth rank, and finally spent another five years to govern the tower city into what it is today. Naturally, there is no doubt about his ability. The most important thing is that once he returns to Datang, his promotion will definitely be faster than taking a rocket. As for his position is only a mere fifth rank, this is also the meaning of the court. After all, Tianzhu belongs to a colony, and its status is not even as good as that of overseas islands like Borneo. Therefore, in the same position, they are naturally much lower than those in Datang, and the officials working there are basically lower in grade.

Therefore, although Tacheng is a big city, deterring an area hundreds of miles away, the area under its jurisdiction is no less than that of a big state, and its economic strength is similar to that of a Shangzhou, but the grade of the city lord is only below the fifth rank, which is only equivalent to a state. Don't drive in middle states.But despite this, the power of the city lords of Tianzhu is very great, even if it is a governor of a state, it is far inferior. They can be called a small governor, an absolute emperor of the land.

Because this is a colony, we advocate simplicity in everything, including the composition of the city lord's mansion (there is no way, with the expansion of the territory, the imperial court is now scarce of officials, and there are not enough local people, let alone a colony like Tianzhu), except Except for some necessary positions, most of the remaining positions are held concurrently by the city lords or entrusted by the city lords to their confidantes. Therefore, these city lords have great power, and life and death are in their hands.

In addition, Tianzhu and the Central Plains are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to disseminate information in a timely manner. It is even difficult to communicate with Tianzhu itself because of the underdeveloped transportation. Therefore, the imperial court directly ordered that most of the things under the jurisdiction of the Tianzhu city lords can be carried out first. Solve it by yourself, just write two official documents afterwards and hand them over to the court and the governor’s office. This can be seen from the fact that the highest officer is the city lord, not the governor or other titles—after all, the city lord is the lord of a city It means, that is, the master of a city, this position has never appeared before.

It can be said that as the city lord here, except that the military power is still out of control, all the remaining rights, including legal power and financial power, are controlled by the city lord, and there is a lot of freedom, as long as the amount of taxes paid to the court every year is sufficient That's fine. As for what bad things you did in Tianzhu and how much money you embezzled, under normal circumstances, the imperial court will not care about it—as long as you don't go too far, causing people's resentment to boil, and you can start an uprising.

There is another advantage of being an official in Tianzhu, that is, as long as you complete your term of office and do not make any major mistakes during your term of office, most people can be promoted to one or two levels after returning to Datang.And if you can be like Biande, not only survive the full term of office, but also make a lot of achievements during the term of office, manage the place in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it will be even more terrible, the imperial court will definitely give you a big reward Yes - if Biander can return to Datang, then his promotion speed will also be the fastest, after all, he has already proved his ability in Tacheng, and the imperial court has seen what he has done in Tacheng , such a capable person, as long as the court is not blind, he will be reused. Although he will not be directly rewarded with a title, he will be promoted several levels in a row, and then transferred to an important port appointment.

And Biande's five-year term of office has almost expired, and if there is no accident, he will resign this year and return to Chang'an to report on his duties. To be precise, in terms of time, he should have already started packing his things and preparing to leave. Waiting for the new city lord to take over the official seal and take over the affairs of Tacheng, he can leave. Prepared for this a few months ago, but things went wrong...

Originally, the imperial court was very optimistic about his deputy, that is, the deputy city lord Lian Chengyi as the successor of the city lord, but it is a pity that Lian Chengyi was assassinated some time ago, and he can only continue to be the city lord temporarily, waiting for the arrival of the newly appointed city lord by the court before returning .

Chapter 1177 Singer

Chapter 124 Singer

And at this time, when Li Zhen's order came, Biande, who had always respected Li Zhen, immediately accepted Li Zhen's order without hesitation, and fully cooperated with the army to clean up the dens of the PL sect in Tacheng. Because of the urgency of time and the need for confidentiality, he didn't even report it to the governor's office. I believe that with Li Chengqian's personality, if he knew about it, he would definitely be furious.

But Biande is not afraid of offending Li Chengqian, because he is about to resign, no matter how angry Li Chengqian is, can he still be sent to Chang'an to take revenge on him?

This is of course impossible. Li Chengqian is indeed powerful in Tianzhu, but his power is only limited to Tianzhu. So, of course we dare not offend you, but if you really want to find a job, then we are not afraid of you.

Secondly, Li Chengqian's status is indeed noble and unparalleled, but he is just a former prince with no future at all, not to mention that Li Zhen is not bad, even if it is true, Li Chengqian, the eldest brother, should be regarded as Li Zhen's subordinate.Biande's behavior did offend Li Chengqian, but he followed Li Zhen's order, and Li Zhen asked him to keep it secret. Would Li Chengqian still dare to trouble Li Zhen?

What's more, Biande is working for Li Zhen, which is equivalent to climbing into Li Zhen's relationship, so does it need to look at Li Chengqian's face? ——Although he offended the former prince, he flattered the present prince. No matter how you calculate this deal, it is not a loss.

Besides, Li Chengqian, the governor of Tianzhu, is about to come to an end soon. After he resigns from this position, then he will only have the title of Hengshan King. Of course, he can be king and hegemony in his one-acre three-point land, But in Tianzhu, it was never his turn to decide, not to mention that Hengshan Kingdom was surrounded in all directions, and there was no room for development, so what would be the future?
