Chapter 1280 Nagqu League
Nagqu, a small town with only a thousand people, has never been so lively.
A large number of believers poured into the newly renovated temples. They used bricks and wood with devout expressions to build temples belonging to Buddhism, including many foreign soldiers from the Tang army.
In just ten days, a majestic Buddhist temple stood up and became the most majestic building in Nagqu.
After hearing the news of the Tang army, the nobles naturally learned about the crisis of the Tubo headquarters. Many people couldn't wait to change their surnames to Buddhism, and then came to Naqu City with trepidation.
The so-called Naqu Zanpu was naturally defeated and killed, and the land was completely accepted, and the Naqu family was defeated since then.
There were about 11 countries in the Tubo headquarters, and they attacked seven countries, and there were still four countries left. They were basically in the logic, and they were considered relatively wealthy but narrow countries nearby.
Faced with the invitation from the Tang people, they abandoned Zamp's title without hesitation and came to Nagqu as a nobleman to worship him.
In addition to being shocked by the powerful strength of the Tang army, more importantly, these families knew very well that they were the ruling class of the entire plateau.
Without them, the Tang army would not be able to rule Tubo at all, nor would they come to the scene in person, communicate with and dominate the herdsmen.
Relying on this advantage, they came to Naqu half nervous and half calmly.
Guo Shouwen certainly understood this truth, so when he met these nobles, he was very relaxed and amiable.
For a time, they seemed to be friends who had not seen each other for many years, discussing the situation in Tubo, customs and customs, and their understanding of Buddhism.
At this time, it must be noted that in the early period of the Tubo Empire, it was actually not a feudal state or a slave state, but a semi-primitive and semi-slavery country.
In other words, the robbed land and wealth must be divided by Zamp, rather than taking it by yourself.
Similarly, the herdsmen are not slaves or ordinary taxpayers. They do not have their own land and can only cultivate publicly owned land.
The country is composed of tribes, cultivate tribal land, contribute to the tribes, and serve Zamp.
Then the military household is Gui, and the civilian households who pay taxes are mediocre, and belong to the free people.
Later, the war broke out, which led to the continuous development of slavery, a large number of tribes disappeared, the herdsmen became slaves due to the war, and the land was plundered by the nobles.
Now that the Tubo Empire collapsed, Tubo has been completely slaved, without free people, and is basically centered on slave owners.
Therefore, to rule the Tubo headquarters, one must compromise with the slave owner and the ruling class.
After a while of exchange, the Nagqu League was officially held.
Since Guo Shouwen is the dominant party, he put forward the conditions to unify the nobles. If they don’t agree, they will discuss together. If they really don’t work, they can only fight.
First of all, Guo Shouwen forced himself to comply with Buddhism and not implement measures to destroy and suppress Buddhism, officially announcing the end of the dark age of Buddhism.
This is because Bon religion is dominant and has no competitors, and has begun to decline. At this time, everyone agrees with this condition.
In other words, this is Guo Shouwen’s basic line and the legal principles for entering Tubo. Isn’t this disagreement obviously uncooperation?
After discussing the premise of Buddhism, Guo Shouwen smiled: "Now, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has also agreed to the hereditary places. Tubo people can be officials, business, farming, and even go to Luoyang for a pilgrimage."
The nobles were happy, this was what they wanted, but unfortunately, there is still the following:
"However, as a punishment, you need to sacrifice 50% of the land and slaves to obtain hereditary land and recognize its status."
Half the land with slaves.
This made the nobles dumbfounded and their faces were full of disbelief.
Unless the knife is placed on their necks, they will never surrender. It is absolutely difficult to give up the interests.
Guo Shouwen didn't care about bargaining with them directly, and changed from 50% to 20%, which made the nobles feel relieved.
It is worth it to be able to use 20% of the land and serfs to obtain legality and power.
As for these 20% of the land, Guo Shouwen decided to give all the foreign soldiers who came to Tubo, so that they would become small slave owners, responsible for monitoring the Tubo nobles.
Since the land was plundered, the two will inevitably be incompatible, which will help consolidate the rule.
Two percent is enough, no matter how many people are, there are not so many people who have divided it.
As for Wu Ru and Ye Ru, who were located in the city of Luss, they were naturally directly under the imperial court, and their stubborn death and their land was confiscated.
Those who surrendered, deprived most of the land and slaves, and became small slave owners.
Guo Shouwen decided to distribute these lands to these slaves, so that they became military households, which belonged directly to the court, and were also the real foundation of rule.
"You must submit a document to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and will never stop and continue to live for generations. Under the testimony of the Buddha, make a vow!"
Guo Shouwen said loudly that only by allowing them to submit documents verbally and in writing and with substantial evidence can the Tang Dynasty rule over Tubo in terms of true legal principles.
As for whether to set up a palace or a protector's palace, he could not decide.
Allegiance is necessary.
By name and family, they swear to submit Chinese characters, with land, slaves, fiefs, etc. on it, according to the handprints.
In this way, it is considered to be a true rule of Tubo.
The Naqu Conference nominally recognized the Tang Dynasty's rule over Tubo. Instead, the Tang Dynasty also recognized the dominance of these slave owners and nobles and benefited each other.
As for the dead nobles, they naturally didn't care.
After the successful end, all the nobles in the audience chanted the Buddhist scriptures together to express their belief in Buddhism.
Buddhism and the Tang Dynasty were completely bound together.
However, Guo Shouwen still sent more than a thousand people to Lushecheng, the former capital of Tubo, which is a symbolic existence.
The Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Jokhang Temple will all belong to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"Quickly, put these fast horses and send these documents to Luoyang!"
Guo Shouwen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the nobles who were talking, and couldn't help but quickly ordered.
A total of 174 nobles, occupying 70% of the land on the plateau and half of the population, they signed the documents of loyalty to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Just like in the Tubo Empire, the emperor did not interfere with the internal affairs of slave owners and nobles, but the nobles were obedient and obeyed the obligations of sending troops.
Just like the states of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Guo Shouwen also promised to all the nobles that if a war starts, he will be wiped out by the Tang army and other nobles.
In other words, the nobles could no longer start wars and expand their territory at will.
