Tang's dining table

Yunchu was still in the Qinling Mountains, but Shici had already arrived in Chang'an.

After looking at it, Wen Wen's face was like a flat lake, and there was no thunder in her chest.

After looking at it, Di Renjie just let out a long sigh and felt the blood boiling in his chest and could not rest for a long time.

After Liu Rengui saw it, he only said, "A true general" and nothing else.

Only the people in Pingkangfang were Yunchu's confidants. The musicians abandoned all kinds of musical instruments and only used the sound of swords and swords, the water in earthen jars to break, and the sounds of thousands of horses contending to harmonize with the high-pitched sounds of the heroes of Kansai, so they composed these three songs. The performance of the Sixteen-Character Order is thrilling.

The general led a victorious army of 50,000 tiger warriors and returned to the court!

In the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, there were no more robbers, and the people were singing and dancing in peace.

Such a powerful army and such a general are the crown of the Tang Dynasty.

Yun Luan was sleeping soundly on his back, paying no attention to what was going on outside. Even though Aye's footsteps were approaching, he was still sleeping soundly.

Just when the sun turned west, he opened his eyes, shouted "continue", and went back to busying himself with his homework.

Yu Xiurong has been very busy these days, mainly entertaining the families of the southwest soldiers who came to inquire about the news.

Fortunately, no more than 300 soldiers were lost in the southwest battle. Therefore, when Yu Xiurong received the families of those soldiers, most of them smiled and sent out congratulations without paying for them.

The news of the soldiers who died in battle was naturally delivered in advance, and those who were not included in the death list were naturally meritorious officials.

When the soldiers went on an expedition, their families took the initiative to move closer to the Yun family, and the Yun family was the main one everywhere. This was also a common practice during the Tang Dynasty when the generals went on expeditions. Speaking of which, the Yun family had the obligation to take care of the soldiers during their expeditions. Their families support their families in the absence of men in the family.

In the past two years, Yu Xiurong has been very qualified as the general's wife. Whenever the family members of the lieutenant generals have something difficult to deal with, Yun will take the initiative to help.

Over time, among the thirty-six military prefectures in Guanzhong, there were families related to the Yun family. The families of those soldiers and soldiers were willing to come to the Yun family's house to say something when they encountered difficulties or had something good happen to them.

Those who can become government soldiers are basically from upper-level households with a well-off family, otherwise they would not be able to afford such expensive outfits. Moreover, because military households are inherited, conflicts and disputes among military households are more likely to arise. I am willing to go to my general, not the government.

The general leads his men on an expedition, and if the women at home have something they can't solve, or if there is any conflict between the two parties, they will naturally find Yu Xiurong, the woman who has her destiny.

At this point, the Yun family has truly become the general of the Tang Dynasty. From now on, the Yun family has a group of people in the thirty-six states of Guanzhong who are willing to listen to the Yun family and are willing to follow the Yun family.

The reason why Li Zhi was so afraid of Li Ji was because there were too many families in various parts of the Tang Dynasty who were favored and promoted by Li Ji.

This is also the reason why the imperial court is so guarded against the general in charge who leads troops on expeditions and can control them.

Yun Chu used local money and food from Chang'an for this expedition. After repaying the investment of the Chang'an government, what was left was the income of the soldiers and did not need to be handed over to the court.

Many people think that the southwest is a barbaric land and that large armies will not gain much benefit.

The court also saw it this way, and they were even worried because they had deceived Yun Chu. After all, Yun Chu was famous for not suffering losses.

However, they forgot one thing. Yunchu's expedition to the southwest basically took away a layer of the land in the southwest. All the good things in the southwest are now in Yunchu's hands.

The food, cloth, salt, and even furs that the Southwest people valued were ignored by Yunchu's army and gave them more.

However, the southwestern people do not pay so much attention to gold, silver, cinnabar, natural mercury, copper, nickel ore nuggets, tungsten ore nuggets, and even pearls, gems, clams, tortoiseshells, and corals that the southwestern people traded with the Baiyue people. Yunchu thought that the people in the southwest might not be able to use them, so he brought them all back.

Of course, there are also an uncountable number of bronze vessels covered with patina. Yunchu also feels that the people in the southwest may not be able to use them. If they know that these items are good in the future, he will return them some with inscriptions and tripods. Bronze, so that they can truly realize that everyone comes from one or three ancestors.

In order to take away these worthless things, Yunchu frantically delivered blankets, pots, linen, knives, scissors, saws, salt, and food in the southwest. He even did not hesitate to use an army to hunt and deliver them to the people in the southwest. Their favorite wild boar cub.

In short, this great gift not only made the southwest people who had no leaders, no wizards, and no smart people very satisfied, but also made them feel the warmth from the Tang Dynasty government for the first time in their lives.

It's not that Yun Chutian is shameless for doing such a thing, but that these things themselves have nothing to do with ordinary people in the southwest. At the same time, the original chiefs, chiefs, clan heads, and cave masters in the southwest have never told the people under their rule these things. The true value of something.

In the Battle of Southwest, Yun Jin and the others killed almost all the clan leaders, chiefs, and cave masters. His father Yun Chu also killed all the inherited families of the Cuan people. Finally, in Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, they also killed the upper-class people of the Baiman people. Also killed one cleanly.

Coupled with the disappearance of a large number of men, the people of the southwest are basically disconnected from the previous inheritance.

As long as the officials who stay in the southwest don't be too greedy and can provide the people in the southwest with an environment to live and work in peace and contentment, in less than twenty years, there will be no distinction between black barbarians, white barbarians, and Cuan people in the southwest. Only some living habits are different from those of the Central Plains people. It’s just a Tang Dynasty.

Killing Sheng Luopi is nothing, killing the Cuan Hongda clan is nothing, even killing 300,000 southwestern men is nothing.

While killing people, he made the people of the southwest return to the Tang Dynasty and ensured that there would be no chaos in the southwest for fifty years. This was Yunchu's real strength.

While the people of Chang'an were still boasting that the county magistrate led his troops to pacify the southwest, and how many formations were killed, people with a discerning eye had already keenly noticed that Yunchu's expedition was similar to that of Zhuge Wuhou's May expedition to Lu. Wonderful, and even better than it is.

Zhuge Wuhou killed a lot of people in the southwest. Thirty thousand people were burned alive by the rattan armor alone, not to mention others. Moreover, after Zhuge Wuhou returned to Shu, the rebellion of the southwest barbarians has not stopped...

Chen Shou, an authority on the history of the Three Kingdoms, did not mention Zhuge Wuhou's seven captures of Meng Huo, and he does not know why.

Yunchu's expedition to the southwest will definitely be written down by Tang historians. However, there may be only one sentence in the writing: In the second year of Qianfeng's reign, the general Chu sent 50,000 troops to attack Buchen in the southwest. , a great victory the following year, and the southwest was flat.

As for the crusade against the Southwest Central Committee, it is not important to historians. They are just calm and objective bystanders and recorders. As for the torrential blood and tears contained in this passage, after being mixed into the long river of time, it swirls and disappears. No trace...

"The rolling water of the Yangtze River passes eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The country is still there, and the sunset is red several times..."

With Wen Wen and Di Renjie here, Yun Chu's seizures in the southwest were sent to the Chang'an Liushui brand, which was gradually prospering, and the goods were swallowed up by the greedy Datang market.

In the blink of an eye, a massive amount of copper coins flowed out.

These copper coins have been clearly divided by the county government accountants in Chang'an and Wannian counties according to their merit books, so that everyone can divide the money easily after the soldiers return.

Yu Xiurong has already taken away the share that belonged to Yunchu. This time she will not send such a large sum of money to the Xiangji Kitchen of Daci'en Temple. Instead, she will discuss it with Naha and the copper coins will become one piece. A huge gold brick was sent back to the Yun family. Only Yun Chu and Yu Xiurong knew where the money ended up.

Where there is money, there is business. This is common sense to Chang'an merchants. There is no way to hide how much money will be paid to the soldiers. There are too many people handling the money.

Chang'an merchants have called this business a big business of 100,000 cattle.

The soldiers returned home with a full load. The biggest expenses were building houses, buying cattle, buying land, and marrying wives. Chang'an merchants had already thought about it. They would never let the soldiers bring such a large sum of money back to their hometowns. They must It would be better if there was not a penny left in Chang'an.

Dozens of cars of gold entered the house, and Yu Xiurong finally no longer felt that he was poor.

Naha looked at her sister-in-law sitting in the hall, arrogantly giving awards to retainers and servants, and felt that her sister-in-law felt a little like a poor man suddenly getting rich.

He glanced at his daughter Li Huarui, the princess of the Western Regions, who was throwing herself on Yun Luan's back and refused to get off, and said to her sister-in-law who was drinking tea from a tea bowl: "When will brother come back?"

Yu Xiurong said: "There are still three days, but the soldiers will be dismissed in Chang'an. Your brother cannot return home. He has to go to Luoyang to face the Holy Spirit and be truly relieved of his military duties before he can come back."

Naha sighed and said: "I just came back from Luoyang, so it's not easy to go to Luoyang with me."

Yu Xiurong said: "It's okay, Mrs. Pei is also a princess, so it's right to save some face for others."

Naha said: "It's none of my business. It's Li Hong who stayed with me all day and didn't go back to the East Palace. He can't even drive him away."

Yu Xiurong rolled his eyes at Naha and stopped talking.

Naha sighed and said, "I checked, and the men of the Li family always think that women outside are better than women at home. This problem has been true since Li Hong's grandfather's generation."

Yu Xiurong said: "You have completely cut off your own way into the palace, right?"

Naha shook her head and smiled: "Wouldn't it be better for me to be the queen of my Buddhist kingdom in the Western Region? I am not a Han woman. If I catch a man, I will tie him to his belt. If Li Hong is alive, I will follow him. , if he dies, of course I will find another one, maybe many."

Yu Xiurong waved his hand feebly and said, "As you wish."

Naha burst out laughing and said to Yu Xiurong: "If my brother dies, will you stop looking for him?"

An exquisite vase flew over and was firmly grasped by Naha. She placed it carefully on the table. Seeing that her sister-in-law was already looking for the stick, Naha lifted up the hem of her skirt and jumped out of the window to escape...
