Chapter 1829 Absurd logic
Ganyu Palace fell into silence. In the past, court officials would discuss and discuss after hearing the surprised news. The long-winged hat could not stop their whispers, but now it is different. Everyone looked at the gold medal entering the hall in surprise and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Zhen was also in aphasia. This was a hurry to send a letter from Yunnan Road. He originally thought it would be about Tubo, but in fact, there was a new movement in India.
Yunnan Road is close to Tianzhu, and the information is transmitted quickly. Tianzhu is no longer the Tianzhu who was originally bent on the Song Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty and Tianzhu banned contact, Tianzhu himself began to fight back.
The prefectures on the border of Yunnan Road in the Song Dynasty were imperceptible, and the main areas occupied were land, mountains and forests and other areas.
Local officials turned a blind eye to this. After all, the territory of the Song Dynasty was vast, and the Indians occupied mostly some barren land. There was no clear dividing line between the Song Dynasty and the Indians. The Indians sent not soldiers, but poor and lowly castes to cultivate land.
Local officials in the Song Dynasty were unwilling to intensify conflicts, so they did not pursue them. It would not matter if the poor people in India came to the border of the Song Dynasty to make a living, right?
But soon they discovered that this idea was wrong. The Indians continued to occupy the border land of the Song Dynasty, constantly eroding the border line, and even began to occupy the land of the people of the Song Dynasty!
Local officials finally cannot sit idly by. This is a matter that concerns the dignity and interests of the country. If they are not dealt with seriously, the superiors will inevitably be unable to take advantage of the situation after investigation.
More importantly, Yunnan Road is an important production base for the Song Dynasty. The locally grown coffee and glass produced are all things that the Song Dynasty has absolutely kept in secret. The seeds and seedlings of coffee must not be leaked out.
The coffee beans supplied throughout the world came from the Song Dynasty, especially the Seljuk Dynasty and the Roman Empire. They had a great demand for these coffees and brought a lot of benefits to the Song Dynasty.
The coffee shops opened by merchants in the Song Dynasty all over the world need plantations on Yunnan Road for supply. Once they are scattered to other countries, the coffee monopoly trade in Song Dynasty may be completely replaced by others.
Not to mention glass, the profits earned by the Song Dynasty through glass every year are not only 10,000 yuan. Glass is synonymous with huge profits. Stones can be turned into crystal clear glass through firing and refining, which is a wealth that cannot be leaked in any case.
Local officials quickly mobilized border troops to drive away the Indians and strengthened patrols on the border.
This is a matter of course. You have occupied our garden. I see, you have tolerated you for a while, but there is no reason to let you continue to occupy it for nothing, right?
But this principle doesn't work for the Indians. They naturally believed that the land they cultivated should be theirs. The Song Dynasty was occupying their fields and treating the Indians as hard work to reclaim wasteland for free.
As a result, conflicts began to break out between the two sides. The system of the Indian Polo dynasty was different from that of the Song Dynasty. The centralization was not so strong, and the local armed forces had almost no unified dispatch.
The system of the Polo dynasty was similar to the feudal system of Europa, or the pre-Qin era of Chinese civilization.
The royal family gave land to the recipients, and the recipients obtained tax, administrative and judicial powers on the land. However, this fiefdom phenomenon is only similar to the feudal system of Europa. In fact, the fiefdom of India is almost limited to religious temples. The dynasty will donate a large amount of land to temples. The five villages were given to the famous Nalanda Temple by King Devapora alone, and it is extremely rare for secular bureaucrats to obtain fiefdoms.
This time, the conflict broke out with Yunnan Road was the local tribes and religious temple forces. In their eyes, the land reclaimed by the caste belonged to them. They didn't care who they had belonged to before, and they only knew that it was natural to take the land from the caste.
Even if the Song Dynasty is in trouble, it should be found in people with lower castes, which has nothing to do with their higher castes.
This absurd logic seemed ridiculous to the Song Dynasty, but it was reasonable to the Indians. They sought the officials of the Song Dynasty to reason and condemned the "robbers" behavior of the Song Dynasty.
The skill of turning around the cornered officials "scared" the Song Dynasty officials. Are there such shameless people in the world?
Yunnan Road is not the inner trunk of the Song Dynasty. Compared with those prefectures and Yunnan Road, the prefectures and Yunnan Road have extremely elite border troops. Most of these border troops were transferred from the northern defense line and were all conscripts who were about to retire. After resting on Yunnan Road, they could retire after staying for a while.
This period was the most difficult for the soldiers. They had the opportunity to earn military merits in the north on weekdays, but after arriving at Yunnan Road, these tiger and wolf troops had no place to use their skills.
This is the foundation laid by Su Xun back then. He almost wiped out the bandits and bandits on Yunnan Road. After that, the people's lives improved and the environment was stable. There were even fewer people stealing. Where could there be bandits and bandits?
The border army has almost nothing here, just waiting for the retirement time to return to the Central Plains, but the soldiers don’t think so. This is their last time in the army. Who doesn’t want to make a military contribution in the last time?
So after receiving the transfer order from Yunnan Road, the border troops gathered without hesitation and began to expel the Indians on the border. At the same time, as long as there is any resistance or suspicion of resistance, they will be attacked and killed.
Perhaps it was because Tianzhu's attitude was outrageous, maybe it was because the border troops had been holding it in for too long, or maybe it was intentional, the Tengchong army in Tengchong Prefecture took the lead and reported to the court to kill more than 10,000 enemies...
They were directly dispatched by the state prefecture, and they were all brave soldiers from the north. They were simply one-sided massacres against the Indians who were suitable for the south and had no combat experience.
The forces of the Indians also began to counterattack, and there were reciprocity between the two sides. The Song Dynasty drove away the Indians, and the Tianzhu also began to send troops to intimidate the Song Dynasty...
But their intimidation was something that the Tengchong army could not seek. Any intimidation was regarded as an attack by them. Any Tianzhu army appeared on the border of the Song Dynasty as an invasion of the Song Dynasty.
Wu Wanquan, the general of the Tengchong Army, tried his best to shrink the army and control the army so that they would not attack rashly. The soldiers in the army were holding on. They had long wanted to kill to Tianzhu, where there were a lot of military achievements waiting for them!
Who is Wu Wanquan? He is known as Wu Tiebang in the army! He is as brave as iron attack, and there is no enemy camp that he dares not attack. When he rushed to the enemy in the Western Regions, he was the general of the army and rushed into the enemy camp first and captured and killed the king of a small country in the Western Regions.
