After arranging for complete military control of the Sogdian armies, the generals were assigned their respective tasks and led their troops to their respective garrisons. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Sheng with 3,000 elite cavalry stationed in Huoxunguo, Servant Gu Huai'en with 2,000 cavalry stationed in Anguo, Xuan Yi with 1,000 cavalry stationed in Shi Guo, Xuan 2 with 500 cavalry and 1,000 infantry stationed in Mi country, Xuan 3 with 1,000 cavalry stationed in Cao State, Xuan 4 with 500 cavalry stationed in He State, Xuan 5 with 1,000 cavalry stationed in Bahanna, as for some other small countries, Zhao Ziliang only sent 500 people to station, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were stationed in Kangguo.
The ministers and people of the Sogdian countries have already received that their lords have gone to Chang'an with Cao Lingzhong to meet the Tang Emperor, the ministers of the Sogdian countries are very frightened, the people do not care, the Tang army did not burn and plunder here, after the Tang army came, the public order here is better than before, and life has not been affected in any way, so the ordinary people of the Sogdian countries do not care much about this matter, and it is the ministers and generals who are panicking.
After the army was sent, Zhao Ziliang began to set out how to fully control the Sogdian states politically, and wanted to fully control the Sogdian states politically, but he was afraid that it would not be possible to only send Han officials, Zhao Ziliang also knew that the civil officials he brought from Beiting were not very familiar with the government affairs, folk customs and customs of the Sogdian countries, and if the Han officials were allowed to directly take over the power, he was afraid that it would be counterproductive, and the only effective way was to govern Sogdia with Sogdians, and in terms of principle and general direction, it was grasped by the Han officials sent. The economic and other aspects of the total encroachment of Sogdians, military control can not be real control, only by making all Sogdians accept Han culture, can the Han people fully rule this land.
On this day, Zhao Ziliang convened all the officials who came with the army to discuss the matter, and said: "We have already sent out the army, and it may take some time to fully control the armies of the Sogdian countries. Now we can't sit back and wait for news from all over the world, in addition to fully controlling the armies of the Sogdian countries from the army, we also have to start from the political point of view, and fully control the political affairs of the Sogdian countries, only from the military and political aspects of the control of the Sogdian countries, we can be regarded as a firm foothold here, this is our first stage of the task, after these two tasks are completed, we can establish the Taisi Protectorate! How can we politically control the affairs of the Sogdian states? I wonder if you have any solutions? ”
Dugujun stood up and bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang and the other officials: "Marshal, colleagues, I think that the first thing to do is to abolish the names of the Sogdian states, only if the countries do not become countries, their people will have no sense of belonging; secondly, to remove the principal local officials in various parts of Sogdia from their official posts, to reduce them to the people, so that they no longer have influence over the people under their rule, and to kill and destroy the prestige of particularly powerful local officials; Again, send our officials to take over the political affairs! ”
After listening to this, Zhao Ziliang asked, "Do you think Mr. Dugu's suggestion is feasible?" ”
Someone stood up and questioned: "Commander, colleagues, this Sogdian population is not large, but it has always been grouped, and most of the people in various places have the same surname and clan, which is very xenophobic!" Is Lord Dugu's strategy too aggressive? Xia Guan thinks that this is only afraid that it will provoke a popular uprising! ”
Someone stood up and said: "Dashuai, the lower officials think that Lord Dugu's strategy is suitable for the current situation, this Sogdian land has been volatile for a long time, often descending and rebelling, rebelling and descending, just like the grass on the wall, the wind blows on both sides, treating such people, only by thundering means to deter them, killing chickens and monkeys can be used to set an example, if we blindly tolerate it, it will only be counterproductive!" ”
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, some in favor and some against.
At this time, Gao Shi stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang and other officials: "Jieshuai, colleagues, the lower officials think that in order to rule all parts of Sogdia politically, we must first start from the top, and the various parts of Sogdia are actually no different from the system of the people under the rule of the Western Turkic tribes, and all countries are composed of many small tribes, and these small tribes are the people under the rule of the chief, and it is not easy to provoke local resistance from the top."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Mr. Gao said that he started from the top, I wonder if he can be more specific?" ”
Gao Shi said: "First of all, we have to win over the upper echelons of various countries, especially the ministers of various countries, but all the local ministers and nobles who are close to my Datang and accept the customs and culture of the Tang Dynasty are the objects of our wooing, let them come out to be officials, give them certain rights and benefits, they will naturally be loyal to our Datang, and for those ministers and nobles who oppose our Datang and do not accept the culture and customs of the Tang Dynasty, we must resolutely kill a hundred and resolutely get rid of them!" Secondly, after solving the problems of the upper strata of the countries, we began to solve the middle class of the people of the countries, these people did not have the power and wealth of the ministers and nobles, but some of them were wealthy merchants, and some were landlords with a large amount of land, as long as we protect the interests of these people, allow them to come out as officials, and give certain benefits in commercial taxation, they will naturally not only have no reason to oppose us, but will also support us; Third, in dealing with the local people, we can appropriately reduce or exempt their taxes and forced labor, abolish some of the harsh policies formulated by the governments of various countries in the past, and then abolish some unreasonable miscellaneous taxes, and at the same time respect some of their customs, and do not oppose or destroy! Fourth, after the above measures have been implemented, if the results are good, after a year and a half, order will be stable in all parts of Sogdia, and then the names of various countries will be abolished, and at the same time, the Taixi Protectorate will be established! Fifth, in order to strengthen the Sogdians' desire for our Tang Dynasty in the future, we can send literati to establish academies in various places to teach the local Sogdians our Tang culture and writing! The Taixi Imperial Protectorate can also hold imperial examinations every few years, and recruit local students who have passed the imperial examination as officials, even if local students who fail to pass the examination, they also have the advantage of being given priority to become government officials; Sixth, this Sogdian land is not very populated, it can be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and we can migrate people from the interior to settle the situation here, and when our Han people occupy more than half of the local population, we will completely assimilate this land! “
Gao Shi said that Zhao Ziliang's heart went, he was overjoyed, and he was so happy that he got up and said: "Okay, Mr. Gao is talented, listen to your words, it's better to read for ten years!" Mr. Gao's strategies are exactly what I want, so I will deploy them from now on according to Mr. Gao's strategy! The scribe wrote it down, and then transcribed it in multiple copies! Now let's consider the officials to be assigned to each country! ”
After some recommendation, recommendation, self-nomination, and detailed discussion, a list of officials to be assigned to the Sogdian countries was finally released, and the officials were soon notified to arrive, and each of them was given a copy in their hands.
Zhao Ziliang looked at these officials who were about to go to various countries and asked, "You all know which country you are assigned to, right?" ”
The officials stood up and replied: "If you return to the commander, the lower officials and others will be clear!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Okay, after you arrive at your respective destinations, you will be the highest official of my Datang in the local area, representing the face of my Datang, no matter what you do, you can't fall into the prestige and dignity of my Datang, everything is in the interests of my Datang, don't always think about making profits for yourself and making money!" If that's the case, you'll never have this pattern, and you won't be able to do great things or the climate! Only when things are done well and beautifully, the boss will pay attention to you and rest assured that more important errands will be handed over to you to do! If you want to be ambitious, you must be strict with yourself and take a long-term view, you will see further, go further and climb higher! ”
All the officials said in unison: "The lower officials and others remember the teachings of the marshal!" ”
"The text you have in your hand, the content of which is our political strategy for dealing with the various parts of Sogdia and the general strategy for ruling all parts of Sogdia in the future, you must carefully study and memorize it by heart, this letter cannot be left in your hands, once it is left outside, it will definitely cause an uproar, so you can only destroy it after reading it, and keep it strictly confidential, whoever leaks the secret, Ben Shuai will punish whoever is guilty! Now give you two quarters of an hour, you take to the next room to study and recite, after two quarters of an hour, Mr. Gao will assess you one by one, those who pass the assessment will immediately go to work, and those who can't pass the assessment will stay here and continue to recite until they are recited word for word, if you can't recite it within two days, the commander can only cancel your qualification to go to the post, and then send another candidate, go! ”
"No!" The officials agreed and entered the next room in turn.
After everyone entered, Dugu Jun stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Listening to the words of the commander who encouraged the officials just now, the lower officials feel that the whole person has been sublimated, this is an amazing word for people to be an official!" The lower officials thought that they should let all the officials and generals under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate listen to these words, and transcribe them into the admonitions of the upper officials and distribute them! ”
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Since Mr. Dugu thinks that this is necessary, then leave this matter to Mr. to handle!" There will definitely be a lot of military and political affairs in the future, but I am afraid that I will have to bother you gentlemen a lot! ”
Dugu Jun, Gao Shi, Cen Shen and others stood up one after another, bowed over and said, "Xiaguan and others dare not do their best!" ”
Huo Kan is Zhao Ziliang's old subordinate, this time he also followed Zhao Ziliang to Samo Jiancheng, his task is to control the Kangguo army, make Kangguo's army completely obey the order, and seize the military power of the Kangguo army.
After several wars, Kangguo's troops are not much, the existing troops are less than 2,000 people, all of them are cavalry, Kangguo was originally a place to produce horses, and these thousands of horses are still available.
The army of less than 2,000 men was still composed of four armies, each less than 500 cavalry, each led by a general. (To be continued.) )
