Chapter 4 The vassal state

This sleep was deep.

When Zhang Jun opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.

I stretched my waist and got up, asked someone to bring clean water to scrub it, and ate a large bowl of mutton soup cakes, and I was immediately refreshed.

After rinsing his mouth, he called someone to call the deputy envoys to discuss the matter.

The ancients emphasized balance, everything was symmetrical, and even official positions were the same.

The two deputy envoys, one who saw yesterday, was in charge of the military and the other who was in charge of logistics, supervising food, grass and military equipment.

There were quite a lot of foreigners in the Tang army, and they were dynasties in ancient times that particularly trusted foreigners and promoted foreign officials. The most common scene in the battles of the Tang army was that one group of foreigners beat another group of foreigners.

However, Xiao He is successful and defeated. His combat power has also caused chaos in the later stage.

The two deputy envoys, Zhang Liang, who was in charge of the army, had the same name as Zhang Liang, and was appointed as the commander of Guoyi. Fengxiang was the governor of Guoyi. This commander of Guoyi was from the fifth rank, and was only a little lower than Zhang Jun. He was considered a deputy director.

Another deputy envoy was the commander of the army, who was the military chief. The civil servant in the army was Li Yingyou, who was a member of the Marines and was a family with the rebel general Li Huaiguang.

There were many foreign officials in the Tang Dynasty who had the surname Li, most of whom were given surnames by the emperor for his merits to express his rewards.

Li Huaiguang's father is Ru Chang from the Marine, and he is the general of Shuofang. The two of them are from the Bohai Kingdom, and they are now from Naga, Dunhua, Jilin.

Going further north of the Bohai Kingdom, the Heilongjiang area is the base camp of the Marine tribe, which later became the Jurchen tribe. After entering the pass, it was changed to the Manchu tribe. However, there are quite a few Marine people living in the Bohai Sea, such as the wild boar skin family that later entered the pass. (Born, mature and real)

Uighurs, Shiwei, Mohe, Bohai, Xi, Silla, Nanzhao, except for Tubo, the Tang Dynasty, these foreign countries were all vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and were even part of the Tang Dynasty in the early stages.

Later, during the Xuanzong period, the Uighurs and Wei Weishi were both semi-independent, but they still paid tribute every year, and the following ministers regarded themselves as themselves. After arriving in Anshi, they even saved the tribute and were completely independent.

After Dezong ascended the throne, due to practical reasons and for the sake of balance, he simply gave up the tribute from Nanzhao and Silla in Bohai. In fact, they were all independent small countries.

Nanzhao is the most part of Yunnan now, including part of Guizhou, Sichuan, and part of Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar.

This area has never been unified since the Qin Dynasty. There are countless small countries. With the support of the Tang Dynasty, it was unified into a vassal state of Nanzhao. Later, because of the humiliation of the prefect of Yunnan Zhang Qiantuo and the wife of the Nanzhao King, they resigned to Tubo.

The King of Nanzhao was also a fierce man. This guy led his troops to destroy the robbery states and killed Zhang Qiantuo. (Zhang Qiantuo was also an awesome person. He told the King of Nanzhao that he wanted to sleep with his wife)

The few major defeats of the Tang army were defeated in Nanzhao three times, which led to the fact that the Nanzhao king repeatedly expressed his willingness to put down his old grievances and join the Tang Dynasty and return to Yunnan's land, but he was rejected and could only follow the Tubo road to the darkness.

Nanzhao destroyed the country at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and then Dali Kingdom was born a few years later. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it completely belonged to the Chinese territory.

The Uighurs were originally called Uighurs by the Emperor of Tang, but later they became semi-independent, so they asked to be changed to Uighurs.

When Dezong's father succeeded to the throne, he married the princess to the Uighur Khan.

Then this guy was very particular and wrote to Daizong: We used to be brothers, but now you are my father-in-law, I am half a son. I will help you with Tubo, so you can live a life without worry.

So the Uighurs opened the stance and began to fight Tubo, saving time for the already shaky Tang Dynasty to rest. You must know that Tubo had captured Chang'an at that time.

Tubo had no choice but to let the Tang Dynasty go and fight the west. The Uighurs behind helped the Tang Dynasty intermittently and repeatedly.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty received more than 150 years, but unfortunately there were more than ten emperors. Only Daizong and Xianzong were still considered to be the only one. The rest were all useless people like Dezong, one was worse than the other, and in the end they broke the country.

This is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty history after Anshi in history was transcended: there is nothing to say for more than 150 years.

...

"I've met Mr. Lang."

"We don't have to be polite, sit down." Zhang Jun pointed to Hu Shui in front of the case, asked the two deputy envoys to sit down, picked up the copper pot and pour them goat milk: "These few days, I have been asking you to worry."

"Our duties."

"Well. That, Lao Li, we don't have to be so polite. Although I am a regular, I am younger than you. I have always respected my two brothers."

"A man is kind and righteous." Damn, can you still speak well?

"What good advice does Mr. Lang have?" Zhang Liang asked.

"I can't talk about a good plan. I thought about it all night and I had some ideas. Let's talk, listen, let's discuss it."

Zhang Liang twitched the corner of his mouth. He stayed outside the tent until midnight. Zhang Jun thought about what he thought or not, but he didn't know, just listening to the little snoring, which was quite smooth.

"Now, the world is in chaos, and the Holy Driving Southern Tour, the fate of us people is quite bad. Do you agree with your words?"

Li Yingyou didn't say anything, Zhang Liang nodded. This is nonsense. Who doesn't know that the situation is not good now?

"Brother Li," Zhang Jun patted Zhang Liang's arm lightly, turned his face to look at Li Yingyou, and then said, "Your Madam is so angry that he jumped up, and he bows to him, "Your husband has something to do, but he is instructed, and he can't afford it."

"Brother Li is so polite. We are now strung together on a rope, and there are only three of us in the tent, so there is no need to do so."

Zhang Jun reached out and pulled Li Yingyou back and let him sit down.

His official position is from the fourth rank, Zhang Liang is from the fifth rank, and he is also a military general. It is okay to call him Big Brother, but Li Yingyou's position is still low, and he is from the seventh rank, and he is from the official position, so it is no wonder he can't afford it.

Moreover, Zhang Jun also had some miscellaneous positions as officials. Although he was just a few false and real positions with low rank, his status was very different.

He was a civil servant who was appointed as a seventh rank, but this false position can be directly used to meet the saint, and cannot be judged by the rank.

At the same time, he was also a member of the Ministry of Justice of the School Secretary, and this was another false position from the sixth rank.

Picking up a school is a special official system. Picking up a school means that it has not been taught in real time, but is already engaged in this matter, or is capable of doing this work, which can also be understood as a reserve cadre.

In other words, if Zhang Jun now picks up the school's secretary, the Ministry of Justice, is vacant, he can be transferred to the post immediately.

He also served as the Censor of the Sixth-rank Under the Secretariat Gift Fish Bag, which is amazing.

The Censor and the official belonged to the Taiyuan, which is equivalent to the embroidered clothes pointing directly in the Han Dynasty, that is, the secret police. They can supervise and report court officials, face the Holy Holy Decree directly, and be directed by the emperor to execute some special orders.

This is a great power.

And I also gave a bag of red fish.

Only those who were above the third rank of the Tang Dynasty could have a scarlet color (the fourth and fifth rank were shallow color), and the fish bag was a seal letter entering and leaving the palace to prove their identity. The emperor gave him a scarlet bag, which was a bit self-evident.

What else do you have to say if an official from the fourth rank is asked to take a scarlet fish bag to prove your identity?

Moreover, Zhang Jun had already secretly watched it. He used a gold belt and an eleventh dish, which was something that third-rank officials could only bring.

A gold belt means that the decorations on the belt are golden, and the silver is hook.

In ancient times, men were accustomed to hanging commonly used things on their belts, fans, swords, wallets, fish bags, jade pendants, hand towels and even musical instruments, which were both convenient and practical.

With this arrangement, it is no wonder that Li Yingyou's reaction was so great.

Not to mention that Li Yingyou is a seventh-level official, even if he is a fourth-level official, he will respect Zhang Jun when he meets him, unless he wants to rebel. The fourth-level official is equivalent to an i-level official cadre.

The third rank is a senior official, equivalent to a deputy state-level position, and the second rank is a real position in the country and can enter the Political Affairs Hall (Tongping Zhangshi). The first rank in the Tang Dynasty was a false title and did not have real officials.
