Chapter 1218 Big murder
San Francisco.
The typhoon destroyed many houses and damaged many crops.
After the typhoon, the floods raged, and it was a mess. Many boats were parked in the bay to shelter from the wind. During the typhoon, even the big treasure boat of the Qin family did not dare to go out to sea easily.
Fortunately, the typhoon comes and goes quickly, the rain is over and the flood is starting to recede.
Qin Lang was busy directing the people to clean up the damaged houses, clean the wells, and disinfect the villages in the city to prevent epidemics after the flood.
Fortunately, San Francisco has a good location and was not flooded. Other villages were also located away from low-lying areas. Although some crops were damaged, at least people, houses and property were not lost.
With food in hand, don't panic in heart.
After the disaster, everything is recovering in an orderly manner.
This typhoon is not all bad. Anyway, under the ravages of this typhoon, the indigenous coalition forces have completely collapsed. Now they have retreated to the east and south banks of Houhu. They all retreated to the eastern mountains.
The locals suffered heavy losses this time. Not only did they fail to touch the Qin family, but they not only lost their troops, but also lost almost all settlements in the Batangas Peninsula and the Luzon Plain.
Almost all the women, children and children who stayed in the village were taken away, which made the natives extremely dissatisfied with those who proposed to send troops. On the way to retreat, fierce internal strife broke out, and even led to several internal strife and gang fights.
The alliance that was barely established collapsed in an instant.
A large number of natives have become bereaved dogs. After retreating into the jungle, they are all very confused.
Qin Lang was not in a hurry to recruit, he planned to wait a little longer, let these natives be confused and anxious for a while, and try to recruit after they had suffered more.
But when recruiting again, the conditions will definitely be more stringent. At least, the land that has already been occupied will not be returned to them, and they can only be resettled elsewhere.
In the Dudu Mansion, everyone was congratulating Qin Lang, saying that this attack was extremely beautiful. Let the natives beat the natives, and the Qin family will send them to others.
Qin Lang just smiled. Although this victory is rich, it is not worth mentioning.
After all, the natives are still too weak, a real dimensionality reduction blow. Think about the age of great voyages in history, when those colonists landed on the coasts that were backward to the natives, often a sailboat with only a few dozen people could defeat thousands of people.
The most famous one is that the Spaniards sailed directly from the port of Spain with less than 200 people and embarked on a journey to conquer the Inca Empire of 6 million people. Although the Inca Empire broke out at that time, it was an indigenous country with millions of people. However, colonists with less than 200 people can conquer them, so you can see how crazy it is.
When they landed in the New World, they took the initiative to attack the Inca emperor with 80,000 soldiers and horses with 168 people. As a result, they captured the Inca emperor alive, killed almost all the important officials around the emperor, and killed more than 4,000 Inca soldiers. .
Since then, the Spanish colonists have launched four more battles. In each battle, tens of thousands of Inca troops were defeated, and the troops dispatched by them in the four battles were 80, 30, 110, and 40. .
And when Qin Lang came to Luzon, he didn't just have a boat with dozens of people. He had been running here for several years. The Qin family was already rich and powerful, and its strength was no worse than that of some small countries. For the natives, no victory is too great.
This is also the reason why Qin Lang was not surprised when he heard that the aboriginals were going around in circles to gather hundreds of thousands of people.
There are many people coming, so it’s easy to scatter to catch them.
For example, this time they assembled and attacked from the north and the south, and the Qin family fought on two fronts, plus a few troops from the outside line, dozens of battles before and after, but the total number of deaths in the battle did not exceed ten, and several of them were due to bad luck. It is caused by falling into the sea and falling from the horse.
However, the number of prisoners they captured was astonishing. Not to mention tens of thousands of people were taken from the outside line, but tens of thousands of people were captured back after defeating the natives on both sides of the north and south.
These so-called Barangay warriors or Dajiawu warriors were directly distributed to the vassals and generals by Qin Lang, and he also kept some of them.
"Sanlang."
"This is a secret letter from Taiping Port."
Qin Lang took it over, and there was a special person at Taiping Port who collected and forwarded the letters from all over the Central Plains to Qin Lang for Qin Lang. preliminary processing.
He first looked at the political news of the imperial court during this period. Due to the typhoon, communication with the Central Plains had been cut off for seven or eight days.
Wei Wang's major case of rebellion.
When Qin Lang saw this case, he couldn't help being surprised.
Jingzhao Du's family is going to collapse this time.
Wei Shi was also quite miserable. Wei Ting was originally the father-in-law of Qi Wang Li You, but his son-in-law was killed first for rebellion, and then he himself was involved in Wei Wang's rebellion case. Fortunately, the emperor forgave him a little, and he just went to the end.
Yang Shidao was also pushed to the end.
Fang Yiai was not convicted, and Fang Xuanling also escaped.
The battle in court is really dangerous.
He shook his head involuntarily, was Li Tai wronged? It should not be regarded as injustice. This little fat man has always been quite ambitious, and he can pretend to be very good at acting. With the emperor's favor, he almost won the position of crown prince. Some are unwilling to give up, and there are many small tricks in secret.
He just didn't expect that he would be turned upside down all at once.
The cause of this incident seems inconspicuous, but Qin Lang always felt that it was not that simple. Chengqian's third son, Li Yi, died, and Chengqian said that someone murdered his heir, and then found out that King Wei and King Han, King Qi waited until his head went up, but he always felt that it was not that simple.
Li Shimin actually took advantage of the trend to cleanse Li Tai again. I always felt that Li Shimin was actually following the trend, or even taking advantage of the trend. To change, you must help the prince again, after all, Li Shimin always said that he was going to die.
The little fat man was a little unlucky, he thought Li Shimin still doted on him, but he forgot that Li Shimin was actually a very cruel person, once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change his mind. At this moment, at that moment, Li Shimin was still swinging between Chengqian and Li Tai, so of course he was very kind to Li Tai.
But now that he has made up his mind, Li Tai still dares to play with fire. He really loves him enough not to be killed.
Could it be that Cheng Qian directed this incident?
possible.
Of course, Li Shimin may also understand it all, but Li Tai was still purged. The reason is also very simple, because even if Chengqian deliberately directed it, it is true that Li Tai, Li Yuanchang and others rebelled, especially when Li Yougan blatantly raised troops and even proclaimed himself emperor. In the first place, then Li Shimin had to consider the worst outcome, so he took advantage of the situation to clean up a wave and it made sense.
Even if Chengqian planned this matter, he was just beginning, and the emperor knew that nothing would happen.
Of course, it is also possible that some people are so insane that even the East Palace dares to kill them.
If someone really dared to kill his sister's newborn son, then he really deserved to die.
Qin Lang speculated from the other side that Li Shimin might really be dying, otherwise this matter would not have been dealt with so quickly and ruthlessly.
Fang Xuanling was left behind. First, although Fang Xuanling supported Wei Wang Li Tai in the past, he may have cut off contact with Wei Wang after the last beating. Moreover, it may be that Fang Xuanling's merits are indeed high enough. Couldn't bear it, so Fang Xuanling was spared this time.
Thinking about the purges of the royal party of Wei in the past few years, the emperor is indeed ruthless. Those who once supported the king of Wei, Wang Yu, Liu Ji, Chai Shaocen, Wenwen and Du Chuke are all dead, and there are several veterans who supported Li Tai, such as Yuwen Shiji, Chen Shuda, etc. also died of illness, and Cui Renshi, Wei Ting, etc. were beaten to the end.
Basically, those who were associated with the Wei Palace did not escape this catastrophe. They were either killed, exempted or demoted.
But after this, there is no longer any Wei Wangdang and Wu Wangdang in the court.
Now the emperor does not care about political affairs on the grounds of recuperation, and the military and state affairs are all handed over to the prince, and the newly adjusted and appointed seven prime ministers of the Zhengshitang are assisting the government.
Xu Jingzong has actually made the Zhongshu Ling and became the head of the Zhengshitang.
Putting down the letter, Qin Lang picked up another one.
The above is the news about the Western Regions and Mobei. When the Tang army under the command of Ashina Sheer and Guo Xiaoke respectively broke through the secret department of Chuyue Chu and recaptured Yanqi, Ye Hu Ashina Helu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. .
Yugushe, who claims to be Yipidulu Khan, is still conquering Zhaowu. On the way to attack Kang, he broke through the country of Mi and seized a large number of people and wealth. Ni Shuchu was dissatisfied, and took captives and property without authorization and distributed them to the tribe. As a result, he was executed by Yugushe.
At this time, the Tang army sent troops to the Western Regions, and the defeated Yuechu secretly seized Yanzhu. The news of Helu's surrender came, so the Nishuchubu led Hu Luwu to attack Yugushe to avenge the master. Yugu set up his tribe to disperse and retreat to Baishuihu City. He sent people to recruit all the tribes, but all the tribes refused to be loyal to him any more, and refused to fight for him again. They all bluntly said that even if the tribe died to the last person, they would never fight again. follow you.
Yugu set up people to betray their relatives, and the situation was over, so they had to flee to Tocharo.
After Yugushe fled, most of the remaining tribes surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Yipi Shekui Khan took the opportunity to recruit all the tribes, and launched a surprise attack on Helu who had already descended to Tang Dynasty.
He Lu was caught off guard and was defeated.
The defeated He Lu fled to the territory of Tang Gaochang to ask for help. He got the support of Sheer and obtained a large number of Tang army banners, drums and ordnance. .
For a while, He Lu and She Kui fought non-stop in the Western Regions.
The imperial court then granted He Lu the title of Nifu Shaboluo Yehu, and promoted him to General Zuo Xiaowei. In order to show his loyalty, He Lu introduced all his subordinates as Tang Qianfeng to assist Qiucha.
