Hearing Qi Ming's reprimand, everyone present showed a little embarrassment and shock.

Qi Ming ignored how everyone felt, and continued: "The governor of the nine prefectures and eighteen states, the assassin history, how many people are present? ”

There are many Hu tribes in the states of Hequ, and their forces are strong and weak, among which the most numerous and most powerful are none other than Tiele. One Tiele itself is a collective name for many tribal alliances, the so-called nine surnames Tiele, but in fact, Tiele is far more than nine large and small tribes.

Like the Khama tribe from which Khamming was born, it is itself divided into several tribes.

At this point, the internal structure of these Hu tribes is actually more similar to the family families in the Tang Dynasty, although they share a surname and county, but they are divided into many house branches.

Secondly, in the process of the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the Tiele Zhubu itself was the most important ally of the Tang Dynasty among the Zhuhu. Whether it was the overthrow of the Eastern Turks or the expedition to Goguryeo, including in the hegemony competition in the Western Regions, the Tiele tribes were of great help to the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that without the help of the Tiele Tribes, it would have been difficult for the Tang Empire, which rose from the ruins of the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, to establish the only hegemony in the region in such a short period of time.

It is precisely because of this that the Tang Dynasty can be said to have reciprocated the Tiele tribes, and regarded this alliance as the main object of restraint. The prefecture capital set up for the Tiele tribes alone is enough to have as many as nine prefectures and eighteen prefectures. For example, the Hanhai Governor's Mansion led by the Hui Ministry not only restrained its subordinates, but also replaced the Tang Dynasty to maintain order around Helan Mountain.

Hearing Qi Ming's words, more than a dozen Hu chiefs present stood up and bowed their hands, but the number was far less than the number of nine prefectures and eighteen states.

Seeing this scene, Qi Mingming's face suddenly sank, and his tone became even more unkind: "Is there anyone in the Yao Luo Ge family?" ”

Among the Tiele tribes, except for Xue Yantuo, who had been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, the Hui Dynasty was the most powerful. Especially in the Zhenguan period, the Hui leader Bodhisattva led the tribe, which enabled the Hui to fight against Xue Yantuo, and even dared to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty during the Longshuo period.

The Hui is also a small tribal alliance, some of which have nine surnames, perhaps more, but the Tang courtiers or the 'nine' number are fond of the 'nine' number, and only the nine surnames of the Hui are recorded. Among them, Yao Luoge is the surname of the Khan King in the Hui Dynasty, and his status in the Hui is equivalent to that of the Turkic Ashina family, who has served as the leader of the Hui for generations and the governor of the Hanhai Prefecture canonized by the Tang Dynasty.

"The lowly Hanhai Governor's Mansion has set up a unified army on the left, and Tianshan County has ordered the independence to dismantle the branch, and knock on the head of Qibi!"

After Qi Mingming finished speaking, a bearded man in his thirties stood up and called himself to enter the front to see him.

As for this official position, it is also extremely tongue-twisting, among which the Hanhai Governor's Mansion was established by the Tang Dynasty, and the Hui Governor was influenced by the Turkic official system. Tianshan County is the county set up by its ancestral land after the suppression of the Hui rebellion during the Longshuo period of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tianshan County Order was awarded by the imperial court, which is basically equivalent to the prince of the Hui Dynasty.

"Alone?"

Qi Biming glanced at this Hui Prince, his eyes flashed, and then he raised his hand and said: "Push him out of the hall, I will be tied to the torture rack, whipped for twenty years, and then come to listen to the training!" ”

After hearing this, the Dujiezhi's face suddenly changed, and before he had time to argue, he was pulled out of the hall by the Tang Army's strong soldiers, and soon the sound of whipping and the screams of the Dujiezhi sounded outside the hall.

When the chieftains heard this voice, they couldn't help but be even more frightened for a while. And when he re-entered the church after being whipped twenty times, his robe was disheveled, and the whip marks were oozing blood, and he could not even stand firm on his own strength.

Qi Ming sat upright in the hall, looked down at Du Jiezhi and said coldly: "As far as the country is concerned, I was ordered by His Royal Highness King Yongwang to go north to control chaos and kill thieves, but the Governor of Hanhai did not come to see him, so this alone can cure his crime of disrespect!" Privately, if it weren't for my father's order to settle the old chaos, the Yao Luo Ge family would have long since ceased to exist. Your father said in the old days that he would be a slave for my family, but the lord entered the country but did not see the slaves, and he should be punished as well! Whip you twenty, do you accept it? ”

"Humble and servile obey the punishment of the master, and dare not hold grudges! However, my father did not come, because he was getting old and inconvenient to travel, and he was summoned by the Toyosu Prefecture to lead his troops to Hetao to prepare for thieves a few years ago, and he worked very hard, and he is still recuperating ......"

After being whipped, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, but just bowed to the ground and said.

Although the Hui tribe is the most powerful among the Tiele tribes today, they also dare not be rude in the face of Qi Ming. If it is just a force, the Khambi Department is not strong in this Tiele Department, and the nine major governors do not occupy a single seat, and only have one state.

However, Qi Biming's father and son were high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty, especially Qi Biming's father Qi Bi He Li won the trust of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and he was awarded the title of Duke of Liangguo, and he was the real minister of the Tang Dynasty.

In the old year, there was also a female protagonist in the Hui Dynasty, and the aunt and grandmother of the Du Jiezhi led Tiele to betray the Tang Dynasty and lost the battle, if it were not for the fact that at that time, Qi Bi Li was edicted to pacify, and tried to protect the Yao Luo Ge family, and recommended the father of the Du Ji Zhi to succeed as the governor of Hanhai, but I was afraid that the Yao Luo Ge family would also be wiped out like the Xue Yan Tuo Yi male family, so the Yao Luo Ge Hezong was all based on the Qi Bi family.

As for Qi Biming, he is also a tiger species, and he has a high prestige among the Tiele tribes. In the old years, the Turkic bone Dulu occupied the Yu Du Jun Mountain to build a tooth and restore the country, and Qi Bi Ming only led more than 100 troops to go to the Yu Du Jun Mountain, and recruited more than 20,000 Tiele troops at one time, which shows the high prestige of Qi Bi Ming in the Tiele tribes.

At the moment, Qi Biming is just whipping the Dujiezhi, even if he calls on the Hui tribes to abandon the Yao Luo Ge family and set up a new Hui leader, it is only a matter of one sentence. Therefore, not only did he not dare to complain, but he also hurriedly explained.

"Isn't it the duty of your subordinates to lead the thieves to help in the war? Bisu is old and faint, can you still control the royal people for the time being, not to mention, your Hanhai Governor's Mansion guards the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain, and you actually let the Turkic thieves come south, can you avoid the crime? ”

When Qi Ming said this, his face became even more serious, and he said angrily: "Datang Tianen, give you a good land to nourish and grow, but your ministry can't keep it." In this case, report to your father, rectify the people, and prepare to relocate, and the Hanhai Governor's Mansion will no longer be the lineage of the Yao Luo Ge family! ”

"Please, please spare your life! Our ministry is indeed guilty this time, but it is not unto death...... How the court wants to punish it, our department is willing to accept it, but I want to be able to stay in my homeland! If it happens again, even if you donate all the strength of the whole clan to fight, you will never dare to indulge the Turkic thieves and continue to come south! ”

When Du Jiezhi heard this, his expression was anxious and he looked like he was about to collapse.

Although they are still mainly nomadic, it does not mean that they can be transferred at will. In fact, the vast majority of nomadic peoples, unless they are forced to do so, do not carry out large-scale tribal migrations.

Their living environment is already fragile, and the herders have little savings, and once they migrate, the loss of human and material resources is staggering, not only do large numbers of livestock die, but often no new people are born for several years.

There are many tribes in the north and south of the desert, and they are often hit by natural and man-made disasters in the process of migration, and eventually dissipate into invisibility, or the entire tribe dies, or merges into other tribes.

Therefore, if it were not for the difficult situation and the fact that there was little hope for the survival of the ethnic groups in their homeland, these tribes would not have migrated and could not bear such a high price.

It is precisely because of this that when the Tang Dynasty opened the northwest Hequbian states for these Hu people to live in during the Zhenguan period, the tribes were also grateful to Dade. Even if there are no other preferential policies, the mere provision of such a refuge will increase the chances of survival for these tribes several times.

Now I heard that Qi Ming actually ordered the entire Hui to relocate, which was a big blow to the Hui. There is no need for the Tang Dynasty to punish them again, just when this news spreads, maybe those Hui people will have to give up the leadership of the Luo Ge family over them.

"Since you have received it willingly, there is no more to say. Maybe your ministry thinks that it is stronger than the Turks, but since I am ordered by His Royal Highness King Yong, if I can afford to build a Jingguan, I can build ten or a hundred! ”

At this point, Qi Ming's tone was already full of threat. The reason why he would rather pay a great price to annihilate the Turkic thieves is to obtain this kind of deterrent power in front of him.

Without this kind of deterrence, it would be impossible for him to order the Hui Ju clan to relocate, which was forcing the Hui to break away from the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

But now, the Turkic invasion of the Kou Jing army has been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and even the Khan has been hunted down and killed as a dead dog, and it is unknown whether he can survive and return to the desert. In the future, the situation in Mobei is also unpredictable, even if Hui Hui turns his back on Datang, there is no strong person who can provide them with shelter.

When they heard Qi Ming's punishment of the Hui people, all the Hu chieftains present were also frightened.

The Tiele tribes were the most powerful Hu tribe alliance around the river meander, and the Hui were the most powerful among the Tiele tribes, with tens of thousands of people among their tribes, in other words, the Hui had as many as tens of thousands of capable warriors.

But now, just a casual remark from Qi Ming, even if Hui Hui does not have the worry of dying in the clan, he will be greatly injured, and it may be difficult to develop to such a momentum in the next few decades, and he may be chased and beaten by other tribes.

When the independent solution heard that Qi Ming's mind had been decided, he was already in tears of sorrow. Thirty years ago, the Hui and anti-Tang Dynasty had already suffered serious damage, and they have not yet recovered. At that time, it was fortunate that the protection of Qi Bi He Li survived, but now Qi Bi Ming wanted to drive them back into a desperate situation, and they were completely powerless to resist.

Although there are tens of thousands of capable warriors in the Hui Dynasty, they belong to the nine major clans, and only some of them can be directly commanded by the Yao Luo Ge family. In the current situation of the newly defeated Turks, if they dare to oppose the Tang Dynasty, they may not even be able to rush out of the ancestral land, and they may have to fight internally and start civil strife.

Of course, Qi Ming did not completely deny the opportunity to return, and then said: "The Turks went south to plunder, and it is difficult to escape the guilt of nine prefectures and eighteen states. When you are ordered to come to see you, it can be seen that you are still respectful for a while. But those who are disrespectful and do not see can not stay, and allow your troops to make meritorious contributions, and go out with the army tomorrow to destroy the unsubordinate! ”
