While Li Chengqian was busy stabilizing the domestic situation and winning over the people's popularity, he did not deviate from the outside world.

After all, there are so many old, middle-aged and young generals here, it can be said that Datang is still star-studded at the moment, and there are many famous generals among them, and they can actually take care of every direction.

The use of Cheng Yanjin and their group of veterans is more to be able to smooth the transition, their name is louder, and the deterrent is stronger.

However, those who really manage the military and border defense in various places mainly rely on the middle-aged and young generals who have gradually grown up.

At present, Datang is still in a stage of drawing swords and looking around, and no country dares to come to brush the tiger's whiskers, which just gives the new generation of generals the opportunity to grow.

Of course, the situation in the surrounding countries is not static, but with the active response of generals from all walks of life, it does not seem to pose any decent threat.

Although there is a lack of awe and understanding of Li Chengqian, the new emperor, this does not delay the surrounding countries and nations, and the memory of the strength of the Tang Dynasty army is still fresh.

What's more, those border troops have to go out from time to time, constantly reminding them of this.

The situation on the grassland is complicated, but there is a foundation left by the previous and the previous policy is continued, so Datang still has unparalleled influence.

is still the arbiter with the hardest fists and the best speakers, but this referee will occasionally go down the court to pull a bias.

After Tang Jian, a long-sleeved dancer who was about to become a recognized boss of the Zongheng family, went to the Tubo Plateau to continue to show off his mouth, a guy named Wang Xuance was very eager to take over his mantle, and now he has begun to emerge on the grassland.

Under Wang Xuance's joint vertical and horizontal lines, there is a strong army of the Tang Dynasty behind him, and the situation on the grassland makes him stir up, which is called a wonderful one.

Today I will beat you, tomorrow you will beat him, and the storm is so lively.

But on the whole, there is actually one point, which tribe is strong, which tribe is almost unlucky.

Either it was besieged by bandits, or its opponent suddenly had foreign aid, and the one who often killed it was called an anxious and incomprehensible one.

There are a few more battles like this, and all the combat power is almost consumed by it.

Many tribes have no choice but to find that they are about to be unable to stay on the grassland, so there are more and more tribes requesting attachment.

Xue Yantuo, who had already become a climate and seemed to be expected to be able to take over the Turkic wolf banner and become the co-master of the grassland, has now lost its original momentum, and his actual influence is not as good as before.

Except for a few core tribes, the other peripheral forces are already in a state of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and it can be said that this steppe khanate, which was originally the greatest threat to the Tang Dynasty, has already existed in name only.

Within a few years of Li Chengqian's ascension to the throne, Tiele Jiu, who should be counted as the main force of Xue Yantuo, had nine surnames and twelve divisions, and all the big leaders led the people to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the same year, the chiefs of the various departments went to Chang'an City to make a pilgrimage to Li Chengqian, and once again "begged for a lawsuit".

In the first month of the following year, the Tang Dynasty officially established the Mobei Prefecture of the Governor Prefecture, including six prefectures and seven prefectures, with a total of thirteen administrative units.

However, this feudal state is still relatively autonomous, and those officials are actually the original patriarchs and nobles of various tribes.

Many affairs are also handled internally by them, and the Tang Dynasty court does not interfere much, unless it is a big matter such as changing the patriarch.

So in fact, it's more of the same team, and it's just changed the name of Datang.

The benefits to them after the annexation are obvious, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can no longer attack them at will, and the trade with the inland of the Tang Dynasty is much more convenient, and it is no longer only tributary.

Of course, they also have an extra obligation, and when the Tang Dynasty needs it, they can also draw warriors from their tribe at any time to participate in foreign wars.

The two sides are a win-win relationship, and the connection is much closer than before.

After that, a tributary group from the Tang Dynasty, thousands of miles northwest of the Tang Dynasty and later from the upper reaches of the Yenisei River in Russia, arrived in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, under the leadership of its chieftain Lost Boqu Azhan.

At this time, there was an endless stream of tributary groups from all directions, but this Legation was a bit special, in addition to paying tribute, they also shouldered the mission of "recognizing relatives".

The chieftain claimed to be a descendant of Li Ling, and he was of the same nationality as Li Chengqian, and he wanted to "recognize his relatives" with Li Chengqian.

Because Li Ling is a native of Chengji, Longxi, and the grandson of Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. And the ancestors of the Li Tang royal family are also from Longxi Chengji, and they are also Li Guanghou.

According to historical records, Li Ling was named the queen of the right school by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and was responsible for governing the area around Jiankun that was conquered by the Xiongnu at that time, and Jiankun happened to be the ancient name of the Huns.

In addition, most of the people are red-haired and green-eyed, while the people who claim to be descendants of Li Ling are black-haired and black-eyed, which obviously has the characteristics of mixing with the yellow race.

Therefore, the credibility of the chieftain of the Qiangs claiming to be a descendant of Li Ling is still very high.

Chief Huskis and his entourage were warmly received by Li Chengqian. At the banquet, the chieftain who had successfully recognized his relatives drank happily and asked to belong to the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Li Chengqian didn't say anything, and immediately agreed to set up the Jiankun Governor's Mansion in the jurisdiction of Huangjiasi, which was subordinate to the Yanran Metropolitan Protectorate.

He also named the chieftain of Huangjiasi, Tong Lifa, as the general of Zuotunwei and the governor of Jiankun.

After this kind of thing got off to a good start, it came like dumplings.

Soon after, the Khitan tribes were also attached to it and became the Song Desert Governor's Mansion of the Tang Dynasty.

Then the Xi people were also not to be outdone, and also came to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty placed the Raoledu Governor's Mansion in its place.

This series of good news can be regarded as making Li Chengqian's face grow greatly in martial arts.

Although more of it is the prestige of Datang over the years, the influence that has slowly formed can be said to have been influenced by Li Shimin's aftermath, and it is almost cheap.

But after all, it is a great contribution to the expansion of the territory, and it is also very similar to the posture of foreign countries coming to the DPRK, whether it is in the Tang Dynasty or in the surrounding countries, Li Chengqian's prestige has also been greatly improved.

Of course, this period of time can't be this kind of good thing that everyone can collect almost without a single soldier, and it is impossible for Datang to pick up all the cheap things in the world.

However, I have to say that the surrounding situation during this period is really extremely beneficial to Datang.

Taking advantage of the internal strife in the Western Turks and the fight was in full swing, the Tang Dynasty sent Ashina Sheer, a member of the original Turkic royal family, to lead more than half of the tribal cavalry attached to the Turks, as well as the world-famous Mo sword soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, to pacify Qiuzi together.

It added another guarantee to the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty, and also allowed the power of the Tang Dynasty to go deeper into the Western Regions and establish its own position here.

At the same time, the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty also moved to the capital of Qiuci, and at the same time built castles in the four cities of Qiuci, Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule, and built military towns, which are the famous four towns of Anxi.

It played a very important role in the Tang Dynasty's pacification of the Western Turks, the protection of the land communication arteries between China and the West, and the consolidation of the northwest frontier.

At this point, Datang's martial arts can be said to have reached an extremely high level. But this is not the end of Datang.
