Chapter 357: Anxi Dao Jing slightly appeased the envoy
Cui Dunli really went to ask the emperor what to do with Li Xiao's spoils?
"What to deal with, how is Li Xiao going to deal with it?"
Li Zhi was very dissatisfied with Cui Dunli's performance, and this old man became more and more ignorant of current affairs. In the early years, Li Zhi was quite satisfied with him, although he was one of the five surnames of the Boling Cui family, but he would stand in line, but now he always disagreed with him.
Master Zhang has been by the emperor's side every day recently, there is no way, the emperor has a lot of things to ask him.
"Li Jingluo is now in Chishanpu, advertised in the Chang'an News, and is now waiting for people from all sides to participate in his slave auction, it is said that he has given three parts of the spoils obtained from the mouth of the Hunjiang River in Pyongyang to the troops and family members of the operation, and the remaining seventy percent is owned by him and each family, according to the agreement between them, half of this seventy percent is owned by Li Xiao personally, because Li Xiao has more ships and people."
Thirty percent belonged to those tribal masters who robbed and fought, thirty and a half belonged to Li Xiao, and thirty and a half belonged to Cheng Xue, Zheng, Cui, Wang Lu and more than ten others.
There are more than 8,000 slaves, and Li Xiao alone can get 3,000, and this time Li Xiao is indeed a good harvest.
"If there is an agreed division, why do you still have this auction? Isn't it just a proportional division of each family? Li Zhi asked.
"It is said that they were going to auction the slaves together and divide the money."
There are men and women, old and young, and not everyone is willing to share slaves, so in the end, Li Xiao decided to bring the slaves back to Chishan in Dengzhou for a unified auction, and those who are willing to have slaves can also go to the auction. At that time, the proceeds of the auction will be divided among everyone in proportion.
"Li Xiao made a windfall this time." Master Zhang said with a smile.
Li Zhi pouted, "That's also this kid is bold, for so many years, I also know that there are many wealthy families who often do slave hunting and slave trading, and they dare to hunt slaves anywhere, Lingnan, Yunnan and even the Turkic steppe, Sogdia in the Western Regions, etc., there are also many slave traders who go to Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and other places to catch slaves, but no one has ever been as bold as Li Xiao, in just half a month, he has caught more than 8,000 and returned, who can do it?" ”
Seeing the meaning of the emperor's words, he seemed to be quite satisfied with Li Xiao's boldness, and Master Zhang didn't say anything more. As the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, as the third elder of the Zhang family of the three halberds, Master Zhang understood the emperor's attitude. In this matter, the emperor supported and approved of Li Xiao's behavior, and Li Xiao's bold behavior this time would not only not be punished, but it was estimated that there would be a few non-public words of appreciation.
In addition, there are Li Ji and Li Yifu on the side of the political affairs hall to protect Li Xiao, it seems that Li Xiao, a bold guy, has once again passed the test.
"Zhang Qing."
"The minister is here."
Li Zhi looked at Master Zhang, "Do you know, I have always regarded the Hundred Cavalry Division as my eyes and ears, but this time the Hundred Cavalry Division is a little derelict in its duties. ”
"The minister is terrified." Master Zhang didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this, and he couldn't even figure out where the dereliction of duty was.
"You hundred horsemen not only have to keep an eye on Chang'an, but also the nobles and magnates in Chang'an City, the civil and military officials, and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army and the Southern Yawei Army in Gyeonggi, you have to observe more for me." Li Zhi sighed and said with some disappointment, "Actually, do you know that many people are staring at the more than 8,000 Goguryeo people that Li Xiao robbed, and how much money he grabbed, but I noticed Li Xiao's three boats. ”
The three new-style Mulan boats that followed the monsoon to reach the mouth of the Pyongyang Hunjiang River from Dengju in just five hours were able to return to the port of Chisanpo in Dengju in only five hours.
What does this mean?
It shows that Li Xiao's new Mulan boat has a very valuable new technology, which can return against the wind without waiting for the monsoon, and has the technology to easily and quickly travel back and forth between Dengju and Pyongyang.
These are more precious, far more valuable than the eight thousand slaves.
If the Tang Dynasty had this kind of navigation technology and this new type of warship, then the 40,000 Tang sailors far east of the sea would no longer be a lone army that flew away.
Then the Korean Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula will no longer be enclaves facing each other across the sea and inconvenient to travel to and from each other, but will be fertile land with convenient travel to and from each other.
"Dereliction of duty!" Master Zhang hurriedly pleaded guilty.
As the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, Master Zhang naturally discovered the value of Li Xiao's new style of ship and new navigation, but he did not report it to the emperor immediately, because he already knew that Li Xiao had partnered with Wu Yuanqing, the assassin of Xiangzhou, to establish a new shipyard, and in addition to Wu Yuanqing, there were also a large number of relatives and magnates, such as the brothers of the Wu family.
Wu Yuanqing is Concubine Wu Chen's brother, who doesn't know that Concubine Wu Chen is the most powerful now?
If the emperor doesn't ask, Master Zhang won't say.
And now that the emperor asked, Master Zhang had to say, but he just looked like he had just found out and briefly explained the matter.
"It turns out that Li Xiao has really mastered a lot of navigation magic weapons, watertight compartments, navigation compass and compass, and sails on seven sides, well, this guy doesn't know where to get these strange skills. At first, he offered me the decolorization and purification method of frosted sugar, then he offered Pingliaoce, and then he offered corn, and now he even knows the technology of shipbuilding, how much did Li Xiao learn in the five years that he disappeared from Guanzhong? ”
He seemed to be saying to himself, "Since Concubine Wu Chen's mother and Li Xiao have partnered to build a shipyard, then forget about this matter." Let the Ministry of War send someone to the shipyard in Xiangzhou to take a look, and if the ship is really good, order some of these sea ships. ”
Li Zhi is sometimes ruthless, but sometimes he is very benevolent, when he is ruthless, he will be more narrow-minded than his father Emperor Taizong, but when he is benevolent, he is more benevolent than his father.
For example, when dealing with the clan and the elders, Li Zhi was too impatient and ruthless, but when the other party surrendered, he was too merciful and could not be ruthless to never suffer from future troubles, he seemed to be such a contradictory person.
The same thing, if Emperor Taizong dealt with it, he would never let such sharp weapons be in the hands of Li Xiao and Wu Yuanqing, and he would definitely find a way to bring this kind of shipbuilding and navigation skills into the hands of the imperial court, but at the same time, he would not treat Li Xiao and Wu Yuanqing badly.
But when Li Zhi dealt with this matter, he only remembered Li Xiao's loyalty to him, and thought that Wu Yuanqing was Concubine Wu Chen's brother, so he forgot it, not mentioning that the new shipyard would be nationalized, but let them operate it privately.
"Tell the ministers of the government hall that Li Xiao has not yet arrived in Baekje to take office, and he has caught a few Goguryeo slaves in Pyongyang, this is nothing, and there is no need to disturb the ministers of the government hall."
"Also, Ashina Helu in the Western Regions rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and became independent, and Xizhou was not peaceful." Li Zhi paused and continued, "Edict, add Cui Dunli Guanglu Doctor, who is also the prince of the school Zhan Shi, and order Cui Dunli to be the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protector and the Anxi Economic Strategy and the envoy to pacify the Western Regions, and the Pingxi Turkic Ashina Helu rebelled and appeased the Hui Hui. ”
The Anxi Protectorate was set up in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, after Hou Junji destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom, and was later upgraded to the Dadu Protectorate, which was the second-grade yamen. From the fourteenth year of Zhenguan to the present, there have been four protectors.
The current Dadu Protector Zhizhan is the younger brother of the last King Gaochang, and he was knighted after the Tang Dynasty. However, since the appointment of this post in the second year of Yonghui, Koji Zhizhan has actually been only a fictitious award, and he has not been in office, and he has been in Chang'an City.
Therefore, the position of Dadu Protector has always been vacant, and Changshi and Sima are in charge.
Master Zhang knew that the emperor thought that Cui Dunli had been disobedient recently.
kicked to the Western Regions, obviously guarding the Western Regions with festivals, in fact, he was demoted from the court, and he had not quit the prime minister for the time being, but he was not in the political hall and was not in Chang'an, what kind of prime minister was it.
Besides, the Western Regions are not peaceful now.
At the time of Zhenguan, the imperial court first destroyed the Eastern Turks, and then subdued the Western Turks, especially after Zhenguan directly destroyed the Gaochang State that fell to the Western Turks in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty set up Xizhou in Gaochang, and the power penetrated deep into the Western Regions, which dealt a great blow to the Western Turks.
In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, the Western Turkic Yipi Lu Khan sent troops to invade Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and was defeated by Guo Xiaoke, the protector of Anxi. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to establish the Khan of Yibi.
The Khans rebelled and fled to Tochar.
But later, the Tang Dynasty supported the Yibi Shekui Khan also began to expand his power, infiltrating his own power to Qiuzi, Yanqi and other countries, in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty sent the chief administrator Ashina Sheerping Qiuzi, defeated the power of the Yibi Shekui Khan in the Western Regions.
After defeating the Shotkui, the Tang Dynasty made Ashina Helu, a subordinate of the original Yibi Lu Khan, the governor of the Yaochi Prefecture, gave him the drum of the Tang Dynasty, and sent him to appease the other Western Turkic tribes that had not yet obeyed the Tang Dynasty.
Later, he also gave He Zhong as the mud and sand bowl Luo Ye protection, and waited until Taizong died, at this time Helu's strength was already very strong, so after the death of Taizong, he established himself as the Sha Boluo Khan.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks were the strongest.
At the time of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks, and the Western Turks rebelled infrequently, and under the intervention of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks had internal strife and frequent changes of khans.
The strength is constantly weakening, but every time Datang defeats a khan and supports a new khan within a few years, as soon as the new khan is strong, he will betray Datang.
From the Ebi Lu Khan, to the Ebi Shekui Khan, and then to the Shabala Khan, in just a few decades, three khans have been replaced in a row, but each Khan will eventually betray the Tang Dynasty and start a war with the Tang Dynasty.
In the face of the white-eyed wolf Helu, Li Zhi had no other good way for the time being, so he had to use the old method to send someone to appoint Zhenzhu Yehu, the son of the deceased Ebilu Khan, as the new Western Turkic Khan, and then let him lead his subordinates to crusade against Helu.
Cui Dunli also went to the Western Regions with the army many times when he was chaste, and also sent several envoys to the Western Turks and Hui Hui, and the emperor asked Cui Dunli to go to Xizhou as the protector of the capital at this time, but there was a good reason.
"The edict conferred the title of Deputy Protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the General Zuo Xiaowei."
"The edict canonized Zhenzhu Yehu as the Khan of Lulu Yehu, awarded the right general of Wuwei, and the deputy protector of the Dadu Protectorate of Jia'anxi."
Let Cui Dunli go to the Western Regions, and take the Hui tribe and the Western Turkic Five Crossbow Lost Bi tribe to jointly crusade against Helu.
The edict was issued to the political hall, and Cui Dunli was dumbfounded.
Although he was the secretary of the military department, he also sent many envoys to the Western Regions in his early years to appease the Hui and Western Turks, but in the final analysis, he was a civil servant.
Let him sit in the Western Regions with a prime minister, and lead the Hui and Turks to crusade against the rebellious Helu, which is too difficult for him.
And at the same time that the emperor granted him the protector of Anxi, he also added him the title of appeasement envoy of Anxi Jingluo, which had not been seen by the previous four protectors, and he always felt disgusted with him.
Li Xiao, a Wuzhenzhou assassin history, also added an Andong Daojing slightly appeased envoy, and now he is a dignified envoy, and he also adds an Anxi Daojing slightly appeasement envoy, which means that he is a dignified envoy, is it a grade with Li Xiao?
Shame and Li Asan are both strategic and cautious, Cui Dun wanted to resist and disobey the order, but Li Ji had already signed and agreed with a smile.
This damn Li Ji, Mei Jun's traitorous minister, is not a good thing like Li Asan.
