Chapter 839: The Trouble Caused by Jieli
Turkic royal city.
The Tang army, having defeated Jieli Khan, did not enter the Turkic royal city that night, but only the next morning.
After entering, Li Jing entered the palace with soldiers and horses to liquidate the property of Jieli Khan and the Turks, and these things were finally to be obtained to Chang'an City.
In fact, wars are fought many times for the sake of money, of course, this time is different, this time Datang is for face and revenge.
But many times, it's for money, for territory and people.
The royal palace of the Turks can be said to be very magnificent, and the gold and silver treasures that the Turks used to loot from other places and even the Tang Dynasty were basically spent on this, in addition, a large part of the annual coins of the Tang Dynasty were also spent here.
When he entered the palace, Li Jing was almost shocked by the luxury here.
Of course, the reason why this is the case is also because Li Shimin's palace is too dilapidated in the past two years, in order to save money, the palace of the Tang Dynasty has not been repaired for several years, Li Jing used to see palaces like the Tang Dynasty, and when he suddenly saw such a magnificent palace, he would naturally be shocked.
However, after being shocked, Li Jing immediately ordered: "Tear down all the valuable things here and transport them back to Chang'an City." ”
The wealth of the Turks is huge, it is the accumulation of the plundering of the Tang Dynasty over the years, if these things are transported to Chang'an City, the Tang Dynasty will be richer all of a sudden, which is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty getting several years of taxes at once.
In other words, Datang suddenly became rich.
This battle is very good.
After Li Jing gave the order, the soldiers began to loot in the Turkic palace, and these things had to be reported to the imperial court, so they could not hide their secrets.
However, when the soldiers looted, they would more or less hide a little, and as long as it was not particularly excessive, the marshal and general who led the army would not do anything to them.
After all, the soldiers are fighting with their lives, and it is really nothing to hide a little money at this time.
This is already an unspoken rule after the war, even a person like Li Jing will pretend to be deaf and dumb.
There's no way, it's not easy for the soldiers to kill them all the way, if you don't let them get a little money, it will be too ruthless, Li Jing can govern the army, but at the same time he also understands the voices of the soldiers.
And when the Tang army was looting the palace, Li Ji's side had already begun to list Anmin.
There are still quite a few people in the Turkic royal city, and these people have been worried and scared for a long time since last night, for fear that the Tang army will massacre them and plunder them.
However, after Tang Jun came in, he did not do so, and began to show up for the people.
"The Turkic people, as long as they keep to themselves and obey the arrangements of my Datang, then from now on, they will be the people of my Datang, and I, Datang, will ensure the safety of your lives and property, you can rest assured, we can't do anything to slaughter the city......
After Zhang Bang was settled, some Tang army soldiers shouted like this in the Turkic royal city, and they wanted to let any old Turkic people know these policies and situations of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they would not have to worry about anything.
And when these soldiers shouted this, a group of people suddenly appeared in the Turkic royal city.
After this group of people appeared, they stood on the street and burst into tears.
"Long live Datang, long live Datang......"
These people shouted loudly, Li Ji was walking in front, and when he heard this, he immediately stopped, and then, he saw those people.
There were probably several thousand of them, men and women, old and young, and although they were in the Turkic royal city, their appearance was no different from that of the Han Chinese.
Seeing these people, Li Ji walked up and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Soon, a person stood up: "General, we are all the people of the Tang Dynasty who were captured by the Turks before, we have waited for so many years, and finally waited for you, it is really a sky with eyes......"
In the steppe of the Turks, there are still many Han people, these people are doing all kinds of things in the Turks, and even many of them have married wives and had children, but in their hearts, they have not forgotten their identity as Tang people, they will always be Tang people, even if they are enslaved by the Turks.
They believed that their Son of Heaven would one day take them back.
And now, that's how it's happening, and they're excited.
Li Ji already understood the situation of these people, and seeing that these people still miss the Tang Dynasty, he was also quite touched, these people made him think of Su Wu, the person who was shepherding sheep in the Xiongnu at the beginning, for so many years, there is still the Han Dynasty in his heart.
This may be the backbone of their Tang people.
It is these people who have never given up their identity as Tang people that have made Datang what it is today.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you home, I'll take you home."
I'll take you home, Li Ji said it twice, and when he finished speaking, these people cried excitedly again.
The word "home" is what they think about in their hearts, maybe they still have parents at home, and if they can go home and see them again, then everything will be worth it.
Li Ji sent people to arrange for these Han people to return home, while he continued to pacify the Turkic royal city.
The Han people here are easy to say, but many Turkic people must let them understand the attitude of the Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, although many Turkic people felt the pain of losing their country, perhaps because they felt that the Tang Dynasty did not kill them, or because they were afraid of the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, they did not show too much fierceness.
There may be sadness, but if you want to say that it is for the restoration of the Turks or something, they have not stood up, maybe some people have this heart, but they just don't show it.
Of course, for Datang, they just don't show it, because as time goes by, their desire to restore the country will be slowly worn out.
And, as long as the Tang Dynasty continues to be strong, even if some Turks have the heart to restore the country, it is unlikely that they will stir up any storms.
Just leave everything to time, Li Ji thought to himself, and then continued with his own business.
And just when the Turkic royal city was almost pacified, Qin Tian and Su Dingfang escorted the Turkic soldiers and horses that Jieli Khan had surrendered to the Turkic royal city.
The arrest of Jieli Khan caused a commotion in the Turkic royal city.
That's their khan, but now, their khan has become a prisoner.
Many old Turkic people have some fluctuations in their hearts, and even, some Turkic people who have nothing in the first place, but suddenly show a lot of fanaticism, wanting to meet the Turkic Jieli Khan.
The return of Jieli Khan caused some minor troubles in the Turkic royal city, and in the face of those fanatical old Turkic people, the Tang army suddenly felt embarrassed, especially embarrassed.
