Chapter 136 I am from the Tang Dynasty

In Tubo, they were slaves, their master's property, and their master's item, and they were not even valuable as their master's hunting dogs. Only the Tang Dynasty treated them as human beings, not only giving them freedom, giving them property, but also allowing them to join the army. No matter what they had never dreamed of in their dreams! Now, they finally felt like being a human being! They could finally be proud! The joy in their hearts could not be described by pen and ink. As they roared, they shed tears!

Those slaves who were not elected to the army were also excited. At least they had hope, freedom and property. This was also worth celebrating, and they also shouted: "I am from the Tang Dynasty!"

For a moment, the whole field was boiling, and the shouts of "I am a member of the Tang Dynasty" went straight to the sky.

This was the beginning of the entire abolition movement that swept the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau! The serfs in Tibet were not abolished until the founding of New China. Chen Wanrong ended this unpopular system more than 1,200 years ahead of schedule, which was a great historical contribution of Chen Wanrong.

There are two main consequences of the abolition movement. One is that the Tang Dynasty achieved great success in Tubo!

Since Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns, China has implemented the strategy of "using barbarians to control barbarians". The Han Dynasty used the Huns to suppress the vassal states to play a very good effect. This strategy has always been used by later generations, and the Tang Dynasty's application of this strategy was even more perfect. Using the thunder cavalry to resist the attack of the Dashi Empire, the Tang Dynasty benefited a lot from it.

Abolishing slaves, getting the support of slaves, and organizing them to establish an army to assist the Tang army in fighting, maintaining order, and alleviate the pressure on the Tang army. This was an important reason for the unprecedented success of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo.

Tubo is a slave country, and abolishing slaves is no different from digging the cornerstone of the Tubo social system, which is the fundamental reason for the demise of Tubo.

Undoubtedly, the Tang army was very powerful and good at fighting. The Tubo army could not stop the Tang army from advancing. However, if military victory was not supported by appropriate power and measures, the victory would be very short-lived. Later Mongolians achieved unprecedented success in military affairs. However, because the Mongols were not good at governing the country, Kublai Khan had to read Han books and learn from the Han people before unifying China.

Zhang Shuo, who had a successful governance of Tubo, concluded afterwards, "If the slaves were not abolished, the court would not have succeeded in Tubo, and all this started with Chen Wanrong!"

At dawn, the rain finally stopped. The Tubo people who blocked the heavy rain in the tent could finally walk out of the tent and breathe the fresh air.

After being cleaned by heavy rain in Sunset City, it was a fresh atmosphere that made people look particularly comfortable.

Although Sunset City is not big, it is an important city that controls this road and has high military value. This road is an important channel connecting the south and north of the mountains. There are many goods and exchanges passing through Sunset City, and there are many pedestrians. When the heavy rain stops, they emerge and discuss in groups of three or five whether the rain will stop for a short time or whether the sky is clear.

Just as they were talking, a muffled thunder sound came, and I couldn't help but look at the sound. A group of people and horses appeared at the intersection, rushing towards the Sunset City. The mud splashed from the horse's hooves was flying, and from a distance, it was very spectacular.

"What a purgatory team!" Someone raised his thumbs up and praised it.

"The riding skills are superb, all the horses are horses, and the riders are like iron towers!"

"This is the best horse team I have ever seen! Even our army in Tubo cannot catch up!"

"Look, they are wearing helmets and armor, as if they are troops!"

"Yes, it's the army! What kind of knife is that? It's not our Tubo knife?"

"It seems to be Tang Jun!"

"Tang Army? Don't talk nonsense there! Can the Tang Army come here? Unless the sun comes out from the west!"

Just as people were talking, the horse team rumbled by under the leadership of a big man, with a very majestic momentum, which surprised the Tubo people.

Iron helmets and iron armor, horizontal swords, horse lances, bows and arrows, standard equipment for the Tang army's cavalry. However, these Tubo people still did not believe that the Tang army would appear here until the Tang army galloped away, and they still did not believe that this was true.

This army was the 500 artillery soldiers led by Geshuhan. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the road was difficult to walk. When we arrived at the mountain pass, it was already midnight last night and there was no more people. Geshuhan decided to rest and wait until dawn to take action.

After resting for a long time, the artillery recovered and rushed out of the mountain pass and headed straight for Sunset City.

Sunset City is like Cuonuo City. The city is not big, but only two or three miles a radius. There is no vitality, no pedestrians, no houses, only a few tents.

The Tubo army stationed here only had 300 people, led by a large 500.

This Big Five Hundred is called Yu Zebu. He is different from Zupu and Puwang. He went to the battlefield, fought several battles with the Tang Dynasty, and made military achievements before he was promoted to Big Five Hundred. In the Tubo army, it was difficult to promote it. Officials with over 100 commanders were hereditary. If nothing unexpected happens, Yu Zebu's official position has reached its peak. No matter how much contribution he has made in this life, he will be placed in this position.

However, Yu Zebu didn't think so. He always believed that to do his own thing well, the army he led must be trained, and he must train his army into warriors.

The rain finally stopped and he could train his army. Yu Zebu was dressed neatly under the waiter of the female slave, drank a bowl of butter tea, and then left the tent to prepare to train his army.

The horn sounded, and his three hundred men rushed over and quickly formed a formation. He put some effort into his army. The formation was completely different from that of Zupu and Puwang. The soldiers stood straight, as if they were staked into the soil, with their chests, their heads raised, and their eyes ahead, and they felt a sense of spirit.

Yu Zebu fought several battles with the Tang army and had a deep memory of the Tang army's training. Since he became the 500th century, he has used the Tang army's methods to train his army. Through his efforts, this army has great combat power and is very powerful. In a battle of martial arts, he defeated the opponent's 500 people with 300 people.

His army was one of the few Tubo troops in this area with strong combat effectiveness. It was precisely because of this that he sent him to guard the strategic location of Sunset City.

"Today, as usual, run twenty miles first, and then ride and shoot! It's raining heavily these days, and there is no training. I hope you haven't forgotten what I taught you! Turn right and set off!" Yu Zebu ordered.

His army was well-dressed and set out on his way.
