Chapter 2277: Hope in the eyes of the Tibetans
This can also explain why Jiao Siluo reduced his troops to avoid conflicts with the Song Dynasty. He was stabilizing Tubo's thoughts, changing the religion of Tubo, and strengthening the Tubo system.
Faith is a "wistling stone". Sometimes it sharpens the long sword in your hand, but sometimes it gets shorter and shorter. Faith can make people fall into depravity or become an unparalleled warrior.
The choice between these two depends on how the controller decides.
Zhao Zhen thought Jiao Siluo was a smart man. He saw the power that religion brought to Tubo. Buddhism had a greater impact on Tubo than the Han Dynasty, and the benefits it brought were also greater than those in the Song Dynasty.
When a dynasty has strong enemies outside and differentiates inside, the best way is to connect the entire dynasty together and form an iron plate so that there is a way to continue to compete.
Jiao Siluo used religion to unify Tubo's thoughts, but what he did was not just that. In fact, the Unblocked Conference was not a simple Buddhist debate, nor was it a Dharma assembly that was only related to Buddhism.
There have been many people on the huge racecourse in front of the Red Palace, with many monks and ordinary people, but there are also officials from the Tubo Dynasty.
Almost all the heads of each tribe have become officials in the Tubo court. This is an exchange of interests, and their tribes are used to exchange for the nobles in the court.
Originally, in the eyes of the leaders of various tribes, this was a foolish act by Jiao Siluo. No matter what kind of person he became, the tribe will always be their own, and the tribe will never betray him.
But soon reality gave them a heavy blow. Jiao Siluo revoked the rights of the leaders of each tribe in the tribe, and at the same time sent lower-level officials to establish a government system in each tribe.
These officials are all Tubo talents trained by Renqin Sangbo. They have methods for how to regulate the management of local areas in their minds, and many systems are constantly being promoted
Changing the tribe into the prefectures of the Tubo Dynasty was what they were doing. As for those relatives, there were only two ways to choose from, either leaving the tribe and going to the city of Luoshe, or dying under the butcher's knife. Choose one of the two!
The Toulao family is the one who exerts influence on each tribe, and their disappearance also means that the tribe Toulao's influence completely disappears in the tribe.
When the tribes were liberated, the only person who could rely on was the young officials sent by Jiao Siluo to various places. Each of them had an army that could conquer and fight well!
Jiao Siluo had no choice but to do it. He did not want to distribute military power, but he had to distribute it. Only when the local government formed a stable state system that finally the imperial court could Tubo become complete.
The brand new dynasty system took shape quickly in Tubo. The reason why it was so fast was that Jiaosiluo and Renqinsangbo had quickly adopted the ready-made political system of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, it is the fastest and most convenient when copying something. "Copying homework" is sometimes not a bad thing. As long as the person who "copied homework" is smart enough, he will form his own answer.
This is the case in Tubo at present. Jiao Siluo's "homework" was copied very successfully, not to mention that he also had Renqin Sangbo and Wuma assisted him.
The abolition of the serf system was his core policy and one of his goals. Although this would affect the interests of various departments, these leaders have now held official positions in the court.
The tribes in various parts of Tubo quickly collapsed, either replaced by the prefecture system, or the head families were slaughtered. The fundamental purpose of this was to liberate all serfs and civilians.
Let them obtain land, cattle and sheep, and make them ordinary people, and become Tubo people rather than slaves.
To a certain extent, these people only belong to the Tubo Zampu, Jiaosiluo, rather than other tribes. Tourafa is just a joke.
Liberating serfs and establishing a complete political system were all methods for Jiaosiluo to develop the national strength of Tubo. At the same time, the Tubo dynasty officially formed a transformation from slavery to feudal system.
The backwardness of a system determines the growth of a dynasty. Siluo saw this very clearly. He knew that the Song Dynasty was changing now and was changing to another form, but he did not come out.
The only thing he has to do now is to turn Tubo into another "Song Dynasty" and strive to catch up with the Song Dynasty.
The improvement of the system and the unity of ideas are all powerful tools in his hands. There was once a proverb from Tubo, "People who climb from low-lying places can always climb higher than those who are high-altitude!"
Jiao Siluo had seen the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and understood the decline of Tubo. In contrast, he believed that Tubo had better development space and future.
Not only did he think so, but Renqin Sangbo and Wuma also think so.
The convening of the Unblocked Conference was also a political dynasty meeting. The monks debated how to unify and formulate a perfect Buddhist teaching, and what Jiaosiluo wanted to do was to make Tubo a powerful feudal dynasty.
The Red Palace is full of Tubo’s existing powerful people. They gathered together to wait for the orders of Jiaosiluo, Tubo Zamp.
The huge palace was filled with pairs of expectant eyes. Jiao Siluo has not "encouraged" this time. If he wants to build a powerful Tubo, he must start from these powerful people.
His will was always full of confidence and strength, with great temptation, and was full of temptation for the Tubo people.
Jiaosiluo described the once powerful Tubo, and at the same time made up his mind to change the current situation of Tubo, and even surpass the original Tubo. His passionate words and loud words gave the Tubo people hope.
In addition to his identity as a "living Buddha", the Tubo people have regarded him as a "god". As expected, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was the "god" of the Song Dynasty. Why couldn't he become the god of the Tubo?
A huge iron tripod was placed in the main hall of the Red Palace. No one knew what the iron tripod was used for.
Jiao Siluo looked around and said slowly: "My ministers, Benzanpu has a big event to summon you and others to come. From now on, we will no longer need to be afraid of Song Rao's firearm!"
As soon as this said, everyone was shocked. Song Rao's firearms have always been the nightmare of Tubo warriors. During the confrontation between the two sides, Tubo warriors lost many of the Song people's firearms. The fear of firearms is something that penetrates deep into their bones.
Seeing the confusion and fear in everyone's eyes, Jiao Siluo waved his hand, and Ru Tuola, who was beside him, walked forward with the wooden barrel in both hands, placed it in the iron cauldron and ignited the lead.
"sensation…………"
A loud bang came, the iron tripod was split into pieces, and the heat waves rolled out, and the broken iron pieces burst into pieces on the iron shield that had been prepared, making a jingling sound.
The people in the Red Palace were stunned, and then suddenly burst out with mountain cry. The Tubo people saw hope in the iron tripod...
