"Ow~"
When Lin Xuan's family was eating together at night, there was a sudden roar of tigers.
The horses raised by the Lin family and the servants in the family were frightened by the sudden howling sound, and they became a mess.
Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing shook their hands in fright, and almost dropped the bowls in their hands.
"Mother, I'm afraid." Lin Duoduo was so frightened that she threw herself into Zhang Qing's arms.
"Xuan'er, what's going on? Is there another assassin?" Lin Dongyang asked worriedly.
The last time the assassin came over from the backyard, the tiger whistled to remind him, but because the rain covered part of the sound, and he was asleep again, the feeling was not as strong as this time.
He thought it was another assassin.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly, he also thought of this, but since the number of his personal soldiers increased to 500, there were people patrolling around the Lin family, but now there was nothing abnormal except for the frightened cries of the servants.
"Father, it shouldn't be an assassin. I'll go and have a look first." Lin Xuan confessed, and hurried to the back door.
When Lin Xuan saw the tiger, he was a little dumbfounded.
It turned out that two big tigers were mating, while the two smaller ones were watching not far away.
Is it really good for you to broadcast live like this?
But he knows that tigers are beasts after all, so how can they know the meaning of etiquette, righteousness and shame.
According to the survival rules of tigers, these two little ones should have lived alone long ago.
Even male tigers and female tigers will separate after the estrus period.
Tigers generally come into heat around December in the Gregorian calendar. There was no solar calendar in ancient times, and now there are more than October. Wouldn’t it be around December in the Gregorian calendar?
Knowing that it was a false alarm, Lin Xuan didn't have the time to watch the two tigers mating, so he went back directly.
After ordering the housekeeper to appease the servants in the family, Lin Xuan returned to the hall.
Lin Dongyang and the others had calmed down at this time, and when they saw Lin Xuan came back, they quickly asked, "Xuan'er, what's going on?"
Those tigers were domesticated by Lin Xuan, and some people put some livestock into the barren hills behind them every day, so they seldom barked, and even when they barked, they were not so loud.
Because Lin Duoduo was here, Lin Xuan couldn't explain clearly, so he explained in a roundabout way.
Lin Dongyang's eyes widened, while Zhang Qing's face turned red.
Where did they raise tigers, and they didn't even know that tigers were in heat.
"Xuan'er, they won't hurt people, right?" Zhang Qing asked worriedly.
Lin Dongyang said: "Yes, there are so many children in the village, if someone ran over without paying attention, it would be troublesome if they were eaten."
"Father and mother, don't worry, as long as no one attacks them, they will not take the initiative to attack people." Lin Xuan said.
In the tiger's eyes, animals that are taller than it will not take the initiative to provoke them, except when they are fighting for territory, food, and protecting their cubs, they will actively attack humans.
The four tigers in the back mountain have been domesticated by Lin Xuan for so long. Although they are still wild, as long as no one actively attacks them or is hostile, it is impossible for them to actively attack humans.
What gave Lin Xuan some headaches was that tigers usually give birth to two or three babies in one litter, and some even give birth to five.
And it takes about three or four years for tigers to mature. If this goes on, after more than ten years, won't there be a group of tigers in the mountains behind his house?
It's not that he can't afford it, it's just that it's not a problem if it goes on like this?
Tigers have become protected animals in later generations because of the development of science and technology, environmental pollution, human beings squeezed the living space of tigers, and coupled with hunting, the number of tigers has become scarce.
But there was no shortage of such things in ancient times, and Lin Xuan had no idea of saving tigers from extinction.
When the fetuses are born and can live alone, Lin Xuan plans to release them back to the forest. Four tigers are enough for the family.
"Although I say this, I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, so let's inform Zhuang Shang." Lin Dongyang said.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "I'll ask the housekeeper to find Li Zheng when I turn around, and ask him to inform the people in the village not to go to the back mountain."
The back mountains are all barren hills, and few people usually go there. Lin Xuan is not worried that preventing the people from entering the mountains will hinder the lives of the people.
After the meal, Lin Xuan asked the butler to notify Zhou Mancang, and asked him to notify the people in the village.
The people in Zhouzhuang had heard that there was a tiger in the mountain behind the Lin family, and they had also heard the roar of the tiger just now, so they dared not go there.
Hearing Zhou Mancang's explanation, they all expressed that they would never go.
…………
"Your Majesty, there is news from Tubo." Li Mugong said.
When Li Shimin heard the words, he didn't care about dealing with political affairs, so he quickly took it and looked at it.
Since Lin Xuan told him that Tubo might attack Datang in the future, Li Shimin sent people to Tubo to investigate the news.
Because Tibet is located on a high plateau, most people will experience headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, chest tightness, vomiting, purple lips, general fatigue and other conditions when they go there.
This symptom will not be relieved unless you leave immediately, otherwise death will occur.
But not everyone will have these symptoms, and some people will experience short-term chest tightness and shortness of breath, and adapt quickly.
Baiqi sent people many times, a total of hundreds of people were sent, and finally more than ten people successfully entered Tubo.
This news was discovered by them and sent back in a hurry.
After reading the information, Li Shimin frowned deeply.
It is naturally impossible for the Baiqi people to investigate any confidential information in such a short period of time. This information is all about what happened in Tubo after Songtsan Gampo succeeded to the throne.
Songtsan Gampo's father, Langri Songtsan, was the 32nd Zanpu of the Tubo Dynasty.His father led troops to destroy the Subi tribe, unified the Tibetan Plateau, and became the monarch of various tribes in Tubo from the leader of a small state in the south of Shanshan.
Tubo is a slavery country, and the territory won by the nobles is owned by the nobles, and the common people are reduced to slaves of the nobles.
The power of the original Subi nobles annexed the Jiqu River Basin and other places, so that the status of the new nobles surpassed the old ones.Although the territory of the Tubo Kingdom has grown larger, it has violated the interests of the old nobles and aroused the dissatisfaction of the old Tubo officials. Therefore, they harbored resentment and conspired to rebel.
The old aristocrats poisoned Langri Songtsan to death, and then raised their troops to rebel. Many places in Tubo were occupied by the old aristocrats, and the enemy Supi also echoed the old aristocracy. country.
Yangtong in the western part of Tubo also stared at Tubo, and Tubo was precarious for a while.
It was in this situation that Songtsan Gampo inherited the position of Zanpu, and he was only 12 years old at this time.
After Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne, it took three years to pacify the internal rebellion forces, and completely brought the land, people and army they occupied under the control of Zanpu.
In addition, Yangtong's attack was repelled. After Yangtong retreated, Songtsan Gampo took the initiative to send his sister to Yangtong for a marriage.
In addition to these, there is also the situation about the military strength of Tubo.
To be honest, Tubo currently only has more than [-] troops, and Li Shimin doesn't take it seriously.
What he valued more was Songtsan Gambo.
There are many countries around Datang, many of which are stronger than Tubo, but he doesn't take it seriously.
Whether a country is strong or not, the strength of the country is not the most important thing, the most important thing still depends on the monarch.
The Sui Dynasty was even stronger than the current Tang Dynasty.
However, Yang Guang died 14 years after he succeeded to the throne, which shows the importance of a wise monarch to a country.
As for Songtsan Gampo, he didn't lack either ability or skill, and he didn't dare to underestimate such a person.
