Not long after Xu Qian left, the court meeting ended, and except for Wang Meng and the other six Shangshu, everyone else left the Qinzheng Palace. "Let's all discuss! What should be done about asking for surrender on behalf of the country! Li Xin glanced at everyone and asked.

Everyone understood what he meant, not a question of acceptance or not, but a question of how to arrange after accepting the other party's invitation.

After all, everyone doesn't want to say that after the other party is obedient, they only give him a name, and everything else remains the same. If this is the case, then this submission will have no meaning for Datang.

Now, or before, before the emergence of the Huashan Army, it is basically the way the forces of all parties have adopted this approach to those who surrender.

Whether it is the Yan Kingdom, or the Jiangzuo, or even the Han and Wei dynasties in the future, it is the same. As long as the other party submits to him, he will give the other party a set of official names, as well as a bunch of honor guards, and appoint him as a local official to continue to rule the old ministry and territory.

The advantage of this approach is that many people are willing to submit, after all, the cost is very low. But the disadvantage is that loyalty is very low, and people are not constrained because of their strength. Therefore, when you are not satisfied, you want to rebel, just like Lu Hu and Zhang Ping before.

Li Xin doesn't want this to be the case! After all, this creates constant turmoil within your borders, and you end up exhausting yourself.

It's like putting a bomb on your side, and you come to blow yourself up from time to time, and no one can stand it for a long time!

Since you want to submit to yourself, then stay honest and serve Datang. As long as Datang is well, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to them. Li Xin hated these guys in the twilight.

"Surrendering on behalf of the country is the number one force in the Tang Dynasty, and if you do a good job in this matter, it will play a good role as an example for others in the future!" After discussing it for a while, Wang Meng said first.

Speaking of which, everyone knows what he is referring to. What he meant was that if the surrender of Shiyiqian could be handled properly, it would be an example for these forces such as Liangzhou, Qiuchi, and even Yanguo.

After all, when they saw that the treatment was indeed good after the return of Shi Yiqian, then they might be tempted. Especially if you press militarily, you can avoid a big war in many cases.

What is especially important is that the power of the country is different, and it is a powerful power in the north. Especially among the Hu people in the north, it has a decisive weight. If he surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, he will be able to drive more Hu people to join and alleviate the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, after the news comes out, it will inevitably make the world shake, and the power of Datang will be even stronger. Let everyone in the world see the strength of Datang, which will be very attractive to many people, especially those who deeply feel the incompetence of the Jiangzuo court.

After all, who doesn't want to live with dignity and dignity. No one wants to be a citizen of a weak country and let outsiders bully them all day long!

"That's why we have to be very cautious! First, this king does not want Daiguo to become a worry for the Tang Dynasty in the future. Second, it is hoped that the other party will truly become a subject of the Tang Dynasty! Li Xin nodded and said solemnly.

"If this is to be the case, the first thing is to take over the military power of the country. Otherwise, if the military power is autonomous, the imperial court cannot control it! Moreover, the country of Dai is located in the north of the country, the territory is vast, and the people are all nomadic for a living, and it may not be so easy to govern with the law of the Central Plains! Also, it is Shi Yiqian and his family, who are the kings of the north in his lifetime, and have a high reputation in the hearts of the Hu people, and it is impossible for us to transfer them out of the north, I am afraid that they need special handling! Liang Ping, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said.

His words hit the nail on the head, and the most important thing to make these followers honestly submit is to deprive the other party of the right to lead troops. At the same time, it is better to separate their financial rights, so that there is no big problem with the rest.

"The idea of the minister, it is better to imitate the Han Dynasty, and let him build a city north of Yinshan Mountain, thinking that the northern part of the Tang Dynasty is a barrier to the interior. In this way, Shuofang and other places will be much safer! In addition, the Northland is prolific in horses, and we can make them trade freely in Shuofang County, but we need to hand in a certain number of horses every year! Xue Zhan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, proposed.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu that year, and finally the Xiongnu were divided into two branches, the north and the south, and the Southern Xiongnu later asked the court to surrender and asked to attach the Han Dynasty. As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established several cities such as the surrendered city in the north of Yinshan Mountain for the Southern Xiongnu and other tribes to live.

However, while letting them live, the Han Dynasty also sent officials and soldiers to supervise them. By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu directly set up the Xiongnu Zhonglang General and led his troops to monitor the attached Huns.

It's just that in the later period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the national strength declined and was very chaotic, and these attached Huns slowly rebelled again. Until the time of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao divided the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes, each appointed its nobles as its leaders, and sent Han Chinese to supervise its Sima.

At the same time, he also incorporated the Huns in the Bingzhou area into the army. In this way, the Southern Xiongnu were all integrated into the Han nationality. For example, Liu Yuan, who later established the Han Zhao Dynasty, his father was Liu Bao, the left marshal of the five Xiongnu.

So, if you follow this approach, it seems to be a feasible approach. But for Li Xin, it is still a lot worse than the ideal state.

"It is a good idea to build a city inside, but the example of the Huns attached to the Later Han Dynasty, we must not ignore it!" Li Xinyan said.

"It's better to set up a county in Saibei, divide its land, and appoint the acting princes as the county commanders, and then we will send people to serve as the envoys and generals of the town army. At the same time, the troops in the Shuofang area are not too much to be reduced as a precautionary measure, what does Your Highness think? Wang Meng thought about it for a moment and then proposed.

In fact, judging from the development of the Central Plains Dynasty over the years, the establishment of counties is the best system. However, the situation in the Central Plains is different, one is that the agricultural production area is relatively fixed, and the settlement civilization will naturally develop.

Coupled with the fact that the population is larger, it will inevitably require centralized governance. The grasslands are full of nomadic people, who are here today and may go elsewhere tomorrow, and it is obviously not easy to engage in a county system.

The other is that the Saibei tribes have a low degree of civilization, and the set of rules spoken by the Hu people is different from that of the Central Plains Dynasty. Therefore, it is impossible to copy the set of the Central Plains Dynasty.

But this idea made Li Xin feel very good.

"What Jing Luo said is exactly what I want! So be it! After Shiyiqian returned to obedience, he was demoted to the prince of Daijun, and the current land of Daiguo was newly set up as Daizhou, and it was used as the history of Daizhou! The state governor ordered it to build a city as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Industry sent people to plan and supervise it! In addition, Yu Song was appointed as the general of Daizhou, and 10,000 troops were led to be responsible for guarding Daizhou, which was under the jurisdiction of General Zhenbei! The border of the country is divided into five counties, and officials are selected by the ministry to take up posts, and at the same time, some of the existing princes and ministers of the country are selected and transferred to the mainland! ”

"Also, in addition to the 10,000 Shuofang soldiers and horses under the command of Yu Song, the existing soldiers and horses in Daizhou will be eliminated immediately after the establishment of Daizhou, and finally 50,000 people can be retained. This part of the soldiers and horses did not have an edict not to cross the Yin Mountain, and they were stationed full-time in Daizhou, and obeyed the orders of the imperial court at any time. Competent personnel are dispatched by the Ministry of War to serve as officers at all levels. ”

"The affairs of Daizhou can be based on rather than learning from the Central Plains County ~ things, Daizhou is vast and sparse, and it is inconvenient to govern. Therefore, each county should establish a county city, and then each county should establish a county seat. The key is to settle these Hu herdsmen as soon as possible, and they do not need to live in the city for a long time, as long as they gradually form a fixed settlement! As long as this is done, Daizhou will slowly be owned by Datang! ”

"In addition, for these Hu people, to teach Confucian classics, the Ministry of Rites must be properly prepared in this matter. Once their level of education is improved, they can teach the law and etiquette again, and maybe in our lifetime, we can see that there is no longer any difference between the people of Daizhou and the people of the Central Plains! In the end, Li Xin said with hope on his face.

In fact, to a large extent, he is referring to some practices of later generations. Although it is impossible to completely copy it due to the actual conditions, it is no problem to learn it.

In the final analysis, for these Hu people, the most important one is to show their kindness and faith, understand their reasoning, and at the same time, put on enough majesty!

Of course, because of the different living habits, the people outside the Saiwai and the people of the Central Plains are almost completely different civilizations. But in any case, as long as you do it, you should be able to slowly integrate into it.

What Li Xin has to do is to lay a foundation first when he has the ability as much as possible. As for whether he can see Daizhou really become a state and county of the Central Plains Dynasty, in fact, he himself has no confidence.

But as long as you do it, you will be able to achieve certain results. As long as this problem is solved, the Saibei grassland will be truly stable, and it is unlikely to pose a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty in the future.

This is the conclusion that Li Xin has drawn from more than 2,000 years of history, especially for the reference of some successful experiences in later generations. This is not only a territorial expansion, but also a major event of national integration, and it can accumulate some experience for solving problems in other places in the future.

However, this is just his own idea, what kind of situation will be encountered in the real implementation, and what reaction Daiguo's side will have, all of them are still unknown.
