Watching the old soldiers wolfing down their food with tears in their eyes, Li Yuan, Li Er and others felt as if their hearts were stabbed by a knife, and they were extremely sad.
Li Longji squatted alone in the back like a beggar, not daring to speak or cry out in pain.
After a while, the old soldiers were full.
Wude Li Er couldn't wait to ask: "What year is it now in your place?"
Several old soldiers looked at each other and couldn't answer at all.
Li Zhongfu interrupted and said: "Do you have money? Give me a few."
The old soldiers gathered together and collected a total of 18 Dali Yuanbao, Jianzhong Tongbao and Yuan and Zhongzi coins.
These 18 coins were simply shoddy and not beautiful at all.
After Li Zhongfu took them, he felt that they were unusually heavy.
In his eyes, their color was no longer brass.
But blood red.
"Doctor Li, what are you doing?" Li Yuan asked.
Li Zhongfu said: "The history of the Anxi Army that you have seen in history books is not comprehensive.
If you don't know it specifically, it is easy to overlook the details. I haven't given you a popular science for a long time. Let's get back to my old job today."
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty said in unison: "I would like to hear the details."
Li Zhongfu said: "In 760 AD, the first year of Emperor Suzong of Tang, in the fourth month of summer, the Tubo army captured Hexi and continued to penetrate into various parts of the Western Regions, successively capturing Qiuci and Bahuan City.
Soon after, the four towns of Anxi were all captured by Tubo.
During this period, the Tang Dynasty army guarding the Western Regions, led by Guo Xin and Yang Xigu, lost contact with the court and cut off foreign aid, and launched many fierce battles with the Tubo army.
In this period of crisis in which the king's orders were blocked and Anxi was isolated outside the Great Wall, on the one hand, it had to maintain On the one hand, the Anxi region had to maintain stability and economic development, and on the other hand, it had to raise military funds to fight against the Tubo army and maintain the Tang Dynasty's rule over the Western Regions.
Under the influence of the "invisible" buff for more than ten years, self-minting of currency became the only way for the Anxi military and civilians to save themselves during this period.
Archaeologists of our time unearthed some Tang Dynasty Dali Yuanbao, Jianzhong Tongbao, and Zhong and Yuan character coins in the Aksu area. According to inference, they were all minted by Qiuci in this historical period.
In Cave 223 of Kizil Grottoes, they also found a Chinese inscription in the tenth year of Zhenyuan, that is, 794 AD, which is the last known record of the Anxi defenders.
At least in this year, the Anxi region was still under the protection of the Tang Dynasty military and civilians, not as people often said before, in 790 AD, Anxi and other The land fell to Tubo.
A grain loan contract was unearthed in the ancient city of Tungusi Xixi in Xinhe County, with the fifteenth year of Dali written on it.
Another unearthed cultural relic, "Yang Sanniang's loan contract", was signed in the sixteenth year of Dali in the Tang Dynasty.
As we all know, Dali was the reign of Emperor Daizong Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty, which only lasted for fourteen years.
But the people in Anxi didn't know, thinking that Dali would still exist after fourteen years.
The fifteenth year of Dali should be the first year of Jianzhong, that is, 780 AD, and the emperor at that time was Emperor Dezong Li Shi of the Tang Dynasty.
It was not until the second year of Jianzhong that Guo Xin sent envoys to the court through the Uighurs to report to the court. The court then learned that Hexi, Anxi and other places, as well as Gua, Sha, Gan, Liang and Su states were still there.
At that time, the Tang court was already weak and had no intention or ability to manage Anxi. It could only reward Guo Xin for Anxi. The Western Protector General, the Four Towns Jiedu Observation Envoy, and the imperial edict that the soldiers of the four towns were promoted seven levels according to their ranks, and Guo Xin was named the Prince of Wuwei. He continued to be in full power and let his subordinates fend for themselves.
Although the Jianzhong era lasted only four years, the Jianzhong Tongbao coins should have been minted in the second year of the Tang Jianzhong era, and only minted for less than three years in Chinese history.
Combined with the precarious situation faced by the Anxi army and people under the leadership of Guo Xin after the first year of Shangyuan and the self-minted currency, the batch of coins minted by the Anxi garrison unearthed and discovered in the Tang Dynasty ruins in the Aksu area are the ironclad evidence of the Anxi army and people's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. "
Li Xian cried when he heard it: "I understand, because they can't contact the court, they can only find ways to hold on by themselves, and they don't know what year and month the Tang Dynasty is, and who the emperor is! They are loyal to the Tang Dynasty in their hearts! "
Wu De Li Er patted the shoulders of the veterans one by one: "Forget it, don't ask, no matter what year or month it is.
Since you are here, the Tang Dynasty will support you. From the four towns of Anxi to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, I will fight for a smooth journey.
I will destroy Tubo and Uighur. When I go to Chang'an to see the emperor, no matter who is in power, I will beat him up. "
Li Yuan nodded: "Erlang's words make sense, Doctor Li, it is already October. The Tang Dynasty is not short of food, but there are not many vegetables and fruits. There is no way to reward the Anxi Army. This..."
Li Zhongfu waved his hand: "Just take it from the back kitchen, don'tThe money is for my invitation to the heroes. "
"Thank you, Doctor Li!"
The other emperors of the Tang Dynasty also said in unison: "Thank you, Doctor Li."
Li Zhongfu said: "After you go, you can also arrange for those old soldiers to come over for a physical examination first. If you can save one, save one."
"Okay."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Your Tang Dynasty has not been peaceful in the past two years. It has suppressed the Anshi Rebellion, the Huang Chao Rebellion, and saved the chaotic world at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Do you have enough soldiers? Do you want us to support you?"
Wu De Li Er weighed it and said: "Okay, then ask the Ming Dynasty to borrow 50,000 soldiers. The Tang Dynasty will pay the military expenses according to the highest commission."
"Okay."
"To fight foreigners, the Sui Dynasty must also join in the fun. Let's also support 50,000." Yang Jian said.
Li Yuan clasped his fists: "Thank you, uncle."
The First Emperor said: "My Great Qin is naturally not willing to lag behind. I will lend you 30,000 cavalry."
"Thank you, the First Emperor. ”
“Wei Qing is the best at fighting foreign tribes, so I will let him lead 20,000 troops to help.” Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, said.
“Thank you very much.”
Guo Wei, Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao and others also asked for troops.
They gathered together 200,000 troops for the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty did not even need to send troops.
With these 200,000 elite soldiers, not to mention Tubo and Uighur, a few small countries would not be a problem.
After some discussion, Wude Li Er personally led the expedition.
Li Chengqian was happy to be promoted to the position of regent.
