After leaving Yu Dian Kingdom, Luo Zhang's next stop was originally called Qiemo Kingdom. Why should we mention the original name because now this country has been renamed Tubo Kingdom.
Yes, it was the Tubo. The place where Songtsen Gampo and his party fled was called the Qiemo Kingdom.
At first, when Songtsan Gampo and his party arrived at Qiemo Kingdom, they behaved honestly, but over time, they had other thoughts.
Qiemo Kingdom is neither big nor small. It is equivalent to half of Jiangsu Province. It is the center of the Eighteen Kingdoms and an important transportation route from south to north. Merchants will stay here for some time and do some repairs. , and then go to the next stop.
Therefore, the Qiemo Kingdom is still quite prosperous, and its soldiers and horses are naturally not weak. Otherwise, if it could occupy such a place, it would have been annexed by other countries. After all, this is a big piece of fat.
Of course, this is only relatively powerful compared to the eighteen countries.
After Songtsen Gampo lived for a while and found out the details of the Eighteen Kingdoms, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but be tempted.
In Songtsen Gampo's view, these eighteen kingdoms were the place where he made his fortune, and the last kingdom was the first step towards his restoration.
By occupying the Qiemo Kingdom, he would have a lot of resources, and he could recruit troops and expand his strength. With the masters he brought, it would not be a piece of cake to encroach on the other seventeen countries step by step.
After several months, Songtsen Gampo was finally ready, overthrew the king of Qiemo Kingdom, and took the position of king of Qiemo Kingdom.
This news caused an uproar in the other seventeen countries. Unexpectedly, the Qiemo Kingdom, which was not weak in strength, would be replaced by others.
At that time, there was a roar of wind and thunder, and everyone was extremely nervous.
Songtsan Gampo was also a figure. He sent people to show goodwill to the other seventeen countries, indicating that the reason why he was like this was because he had enmity with the king of Qiemo.
This made other countries recognize Songtsan Gampo. Of course, recognition is relative. Who would have trouble with money? Songtsan Gampo has said that if you come to do business with them in the future, all taxes will be reduced by half. This is good news. .
Songtsen Gampo was completely treating a man's son as a human being and was stealing from a country. Naturally, he wouldn't care too much. What he cared about was just letting the other seventeen countries relax their vigilance.
Only when he gathers strength will he reveal his fangs.
It is said that if this development continues, it is really possible for Songtsen Gampo to succeed. After all, he has a living Buddha with an innate realm, and there are no reports of innate powerful people in the other seventeen countries.
If there really was an innately powerful person sitting in charge, the Qiemo Kingdom would not have existed for long and would have been annexed by others.
It can be inferred from this that Tubo, with its living Buddha, is the most powerful among the eighteen countries in the Western Regions.
Just waiting to gain a foothold, Songtsen Gampo can implement his grand plan.
When he unifies the Eighteen Kingdoms, his strength will reach a higher level, and he will probably be much stronger than before. After all, he does not have the constraints of those big tycoons and high priests now. It is all about his words. Who dares Anyone who disobeys or disobeys him will be killed with just one word!
When he first came to the Western Regions, Songtsen Gampo killed so many people that many high priests and wealthy people were silent. Anyone who dared to show his teeth to him was looking for death.
But Tubo had no room for their survival, so they could only swallow their anger and stay under the command of Songtsen Gampo.
It has to be said that Songtsen Gampo is indeed a figure. No wonder he has made such an important mark in history.
But the good days must eventually come to an end. On this day, Luo Zhang and his party rode camels into the capital of what is now called Tubo.
Looking at the more lively city, Luo Zhang admired Songtsen Gampo quite a bit.
Along the way, I also asked about a lot of things about the Tubo Kingdom, and the answers I received were all praises. After all, half of the taxes can be reduced, which has never been done before.
Most monarchs would not think that it would be good to increase taxes, and who would reduce them, but Songtsen Gampo did just that.
Naturally, they have the support of a group of merchants. Although these are not the richest and most powerful people in the Western Region, they are a group of people with the largest base. Together they are very terrifying.
With the support of these people, one can imagine how huge materials Songtsen Gampo will control.
Only with huge supplies can we develop faster, and Songtsen Gampo's brain is quite easy to use.
