Chapter 276: The Question of the Ownership of the Captives
For the first war drama of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Xiangfu's opinion is actually very complicated, this thing can indeed enhance some people's sense of identity with the country, however, it may deepen the hatred between ethnic groups, after all, now the Turkic people and lands have been ruled by the Tang Dynasty.
However, this is to give Xiangfu some inspiration, drama! If, in the plot, the focus is on the Turks going south, because they encountered a white plague, and they had to do it, and then show the spirit of the Han people to defend their homes and defend the country and not be afraid of death, then they can tell the world that no one is wrong in this war, but the way of the world.
Then, Sun Xiangfu saw the root of the matter, and strived for the two peoples to stop fighting, jointly fight against natural disasters, and solve the difficulties of the idea of expressing, and finally, let everyone see the success, isn't this an opportunity to promote the benefits of cultural integration to the people of the two ethnic groups, after all, the example of Shanyang is there!
Therefore, at this moment, although Sun Xiangfu verbally agreed to Wang Deyong, what he was thinking about was how to help Li Chengqian revise the script and give this war film greater significance.
The cement roads in Guanzhong are basically repaired, even if there is some snow, the hard and smooth cement road can also be used for the carriage to walk quickly, the people enjoy the convenience brought by the development of transportation for the first time, before the winter, they learned the planting technology of the happy village, and in the month of La, the farmers who transported vegetables to Chang'an for sale earned a lot of money.
Sun Xiangfu also enjoyed the benefits of convenient transportation, and his men and horses took less than two days to rush from the east of Guanzhong to the west of Guanzhong to join Li Jing.
Li Jing was still a little embarrassed when he saw Sun Xiangfu, in his heart, the value of 5,000 repeating crossbows and ten pairs of binoculars was far higher than the more than 20,000 young and strong men and 50,000 war horses that Su Dingfang brought back. After all, in the human tooth market, it costs less than 100,000 yuan to buy more than 20,000 young and strong, and the price of a pair of binoculars, if you take it out for auction, you can definitely sell it at this price, which is even more magical than the mirror that Sun Xiangfu auctioned out in Shanyang.
Keenly grasped Li Jing's mentality, as soon as he came up, Sun Xiangfu didn't plan to be polite to him, and said with a smile, "General Li, Your Majesty deliberately ordered me to come here to meet you, which means you know!"
"Well, I understand, I understand, the old man has received an order from His Majesty, and he is waiting for you here, that is, he knows that His Majesty should hand over the disposal of these captives to you." Li Jing nodded.
He thought that Sun Xiangfu would take a letter from Li Shimin asking him to transfer the captives to Sun Xiangfu, but Sun Xiangfu did not, pretending to be inexplicable, "What Turkic captives are there here?" These are clearly the people under the rule of my Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate! They were just taken captive to the battlefield by Jieli, and now, their families are still in Shanyang, waiting for them to return! If you don't believe me, you ask Jieli. ”
"Ask Jieli?"
When Li Jing heard this, his eyes rolled wildly, and he quickly understood what Sun Xiangfu meant, this kid, don't look at his young age, his means are really high! Soon, he made a decision, saying, "Yes, ask Jieli." ”
After a while, Jieli, who was tied to his wrists, was pushed into Li Jing's tent.
"Jieli, did those herdsmen and most of the generals under your command forcibly kidnap the people under the control of my Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate?"
Hearing this, Jieli was stunned, and said in his heart, when Ben Khan raised his army, what was the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, you are crazy!
Snorted coldly, Jie glanced at Sun Xiangfu with the eyes of a fool, then tilted his head up and ignored him.
"Hmph, I am Sun Zhengming, the Metropolitan Governor of Anbei, what I just said is the answer I want to hear, if you obey me, I can protect you from death, and let you live in Datang for a lifetime, on the contrary, your wife and concubines, children, will soon fall to the ground, and you, after arriving in Chang'an, may be a glass of poisonous wine, may be a white tomb, or, five horses divided into corpses······"
The more Sun Xiangfu said below, the paler Jieli's face became, he now finally understood what Sun Xiangfu meant, don't look at this person is just a young man, he represents the emperor Li Shimin, and Li Shimin needs him to say so now.
"You, can you really keep me from dying and have children?" Jieli stammered a little, and looked at Sun Xiangfudao worriedly.
"Of course, otherwise why bother with you."
Sun Xiangfu replied calmly, Jieli thought about it, he didn't even kill Li Shimin, and he was knighted, if he obeyed Li Shimin's orders, what reason did he have to kill himself? The living self is more valuable than the dead self.
"Well, Ben Khan promises you, I hope you will fulfill your promise."
Li Jing was a little surprised, Jieli would be so easy to get on the road, but Sun Xiangfu was not surprised at all, after he was arrested by Li Shimin in history, he didn't seem to be very backbone, Li Shimin asked him to dance to entertain the ministers, and he danced, just to live a few more days.
Of course, Li Shimin asked him to dance, let Feng Zhi wear Yongshi, and finally said "Hu Yue's family, ancient and unprecedented", also to promote national integration, not to kill him, or humiliate him, Zhenguan Shengshi, it can be said that it is fused, it can also be said to be melted, with the support of the surrounding ethnic groups, it is difficult for Datang to be strong.
After Jieli was escorted down, Sun Xiangfu snapped his fingers and beckoned Xue Li outside the tent to come in.
"There is a big task entrusted to you, lead our people, escort all the Turks here to Shanyang, and tell them that when they arrive in Shanyang, they will have food, grass, and a warm house for the winter. No matter if anyone along the way wants to embarrass you, just beat him, you know? ”
"The last general commands."
"Wait, Masaaki, you're going to get everyone to Shanyang?" Li Jing couldn't look at it anymore and stopped.
The captive soldiers and herdsmen had a population of more than 200,000, and the people brought by Sun Xiangfu were only 3,000 horsemen. First of all, whether it can be escorted or not is a question, and besides, it is appropriate to take it all away and leave nothing behind? Your Majesty is going to hold a grand ceremony to sacrifice the prisoners.
"Well, then leave those Turkic generals and their families behind!"
Sun Xiangfu also thought of some questions and changed his words.
"According to the old man, it's better to leave half of it." Li Jing said with some concern.
"Anyway, they will spray as much as they want, why leave them behind, except for those generals and their families, take them all!"
Sun Xiangfu actually didn't even want to stay with those generals and their families, after all, in the Turkic tribes, a person with an identity is often followed by a large group behind him, and they judge the size of a tribe by their reproductive ability, so what is left behind is likely to be tens of thousands of people, these populations, when they arrive in Shanyang, are enough to support Sun Xiangfu to open one more industry, after all, Sun Xiangfu from later generations has too many things in his head, and he needs to be realized by manpower.
However, there is also a benefit to keeping them, those Turkic people do not have their own leaders, and it is easy to manage, after all, their general IQ is far from that of the Han people.
"In this way, I am afraid that the pressure from the court will be very great." Li Jing quickly thought of the next question.
"It's okay, if there is something in the DPRK, I will bear it alone." Sun Xiangfu packed the ticket.
He is not like Li Jing, a man of fifty or sixty years old, he is still a county duke, like Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin and other juniors, the titles and official positions are above him, and sometimes when he stands in the court, he will be a little embarrassed, so the credit for the battle of destroying Jieli is still somewhat important to him, because if he can't enter the duke of the kingdom this time, there will not be so many opportunities to fight in the future.
After all, now that history has changed, with the strength of Li Shimin's military at this time, it is very likely that the internal rebellion and border troubles that could have occurred will not happen.
And Sun Xiangfu, who is only twenty years old, is already the title of the county duke, coupled with the credit of persuading Yi Nan to surrender to the Tang Dynasty this time, can he be crowned the prince of the country before he is twenty years old? Is it still sealed like this after that?
Therefore, Li Shimin asked Sun Xiangfu to deal with the problem of these captives, and it is very likely that he had the intention of making Sun Xiangfu make mistakes, so as to offset the merits and take some practical benefits, while avoiding the embarrassing situation that he was young and could not be promoted in the future.
Sun Xiangfu guessed Li Shimin's thoughts, so, of course, he had to cooperate with him well, not to mention the Duke of Guo, even if he was the current county duke and the position of the governor of Anbei, he was a little too high, if it weren't for the fact that he really needed such an identity to manage the northern land, he would have found an opportunity to make a mistake and demote his title.
Look at the ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty, as long as they want to do something, that one is not up and down several times, with Xiao Yu as the most, and then the eldest grandson Wuji, almost all the members of the same level on their front line have ups and downs. When there is no reason, there is a solar eclipse in the sky, it is all a reason, in the New Tang Dynasty Book, in the early years of Zhenguan, as soon as there is a record of a solar eclipse, it will be accompanied by a record of the prime minister being demoted, which is a very interesting thing.
Listening to Sun Xiangfu's vow, Li Jing finally nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then Zhengming please do your own thing!" The old man didn't see it, so he set off for Chang'an. ”
The army garrison is not far from Chang'an, and if you ride a horse, you can get there in one day, but Sun Xiangfu has no intention of letting Li Jing go back, and obstructs him, "Anyway, there is still a period of time before the day of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and the general should stay here with me for a few days." ”
"Why?"
"Of course, let my subordinates escort the people away for a few days! This large group of people is walking slowly, what if His Majesty can't withstand the pressure and let people chase it back? ”
Hearing this, Li Jing pointed at Sun Xiangfu with a smile, and said in his heart, this guy is too chicken thief, and he acts impermeable.
So, Sun Xiangfu and Li Jing lived leisurely next to the Wei River for six or seven days before setting off for Chang'an, and at this time, the number of escorts in the entire team was only more than 10,000, as for Xue Li, who was escorting nearly 200,000 people to Shanyang with 3,000 people, had already gone out for seven or eight hundred miles, and when they arrived at the border of Bingzhou, they received an urgent letter from Sun Xiangfu and led 10,000 horses to meet Abu Tusi, who had successfully joined him.
