Chapter 678: Internal Relocation (I)
The envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty swept through the entire Monan grassland like a violent wind, and almost all the remaining Turkic people received the news that they should gather in the Dingxiang area, and then move to the Tang Dynasty to settle, as for where they were settled, it was not clear where they were settled, but the Turks did not care about this, in their opinion, the Tang Dynasty was the Tang Dynasty, and even Guanzhong was the entire Tang Dynasty, and even other places in the Tang Dynasty, they did not have any concept at all.

In addition, Datang's policy to deal with these Turks is also very flexible, those tribes that are close to Dingxiang and are weak, Datang directly ordered them to gather in Dingxiang within a month, otherwise they will face the force suppression of Datang, and those who are farther away, or the Turkic tribes that are stronger, Datang is mainly based on inducement, of course, if anyone dares to resist, Datang does not mind using force.
The Turks were already disabled by the Tang Dynasty, many tribes not only suffered heavy population losses, but even food became a problem, such as the Ministry of Muddy Waters is a typical representative of it, for these tribes, it is very difficult to even survive, and now the Tang Dynasty ordered them to go to Dingxiang to gather, and provide accommodation, which solved their survival problem at once, which made many people also very excited, after all, life is the most important thing, as for other issues are not at all what they have to consider now.
The most important thing is that the Tang Dynasty will also move these Turks inward, although there are also many Turks who oppose the internal migration, thinking that the Tang Dynasty is uneasy and kind, and even some far-sighted Turks see that the Tang Dynasty is going to completely eliminate the Turks, after all, after leaving the grassland, they may no longer be Turks, and it will not even take long before they will be assimilated by the Han people.
However, in contrast, the Turkic people who oppose it are still in the minority, and most of the Turks are still more in favor of internal migration, not that these Turks are short-sighted, in fact, many of these Turkic people who agree with internal migration are tribes that can barely survive on the steppe like the Muddy Waters, and these tribes either lack food and population, or the original pastures are occupied by other tribes.
In addition, there is one of the most important reasons, that is, when the Turks were strong, they wantonly oppressed other tribes on the steppe, especially Jieli became more Bengali, and when they encountered a heavy snowstorm the year before last, they even did not hesitate to loot the affiliated tribes, which also caused most of the tribes on the steppe to hate the Turks, and many people rebelled, but the Turks were powerful, and they could only make peace with the Turks in the end.
But now the Turks have been defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks have become lost dogs on the grassland, what is even more eye-catching is that the Turks still occupy the most fat and poor Monan grassland on the grassland, it can be said that the current Turks are a naked beauty in the eyes of other tribes in the grassland, and their group of hungry wolves want to jump up and bite at any time, but they are afraid of the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dares to pick this head for the time being.
The Turks are not stupid, many people feel the crisis from their side, and the only way for them to get out of this crisis is to hug the thighs of the Tang army, which is the main reason why so many Turks surrendered to the Tang Dynasty before.
But now the Turks have another choice, that is, to move to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can completely get rid of the danger on the grassland, of course, this may make the Turks lose their traditions, but compared to the bitter cold grassland, the Central Plains has always been the dream land of the steppe people, so the above conditions are combined, so that quite a lot of Turkic people are willing to obey the arrangement of the Tang Dynasty.
Half a month after the news spread, there were Turkic tribes outside Dingxiang City that began to arrive one after another, at first it was only a few scattered small tribes, and some tribes even had only a dozen people left, which was no longer a tribe, in fact, for them, in addition to taking refuge in other forces, there was only a dead end. And as time went by, more and more tribes came to Dingxiang, and the scale became larger and larger.
On the top of Dingxiang City, Zhao Deyan stood at the battlement and looked at the Turks outside, the expression on his face was unwavering, and he didn't know what he was thinking?
At this moment, I saw a young official with a noon figure come to Zhao Deyan's back and report: "Qi Qi transfer envoy, the Turks who came to gather have exceeded 5,000, I don't know when to organize them to go south?" ”
"Are all these Turks registered?" Zhao Deyan asked again when he heard this.
"All of them are registered, and less than a third of the adult men are in the total, and most of them are old and infirm women." The young officials reported again.
"Very well, from tomorrow, collect the weapons of these Turks, and then organize them into a team, and immediately escort them south by the army!" Zhao Deyan said coldly at this time.
"No!" The young official agreed, and immediately turned around to deal with these matters, this time Zhao Deyan came to Dingxiang and brought a group of officials to assist him in organizing the southward migration of the Turks, although many of these officials were very young, but they were full of energy, which made Zhao Deyan also very satisfied.
A few days later, the first batch of Turks left Dingxiang under the escort of a Tang army, and they would go all the way south across the Yellow River, then to Shandong, and then through the canal from the waterway to the south, after all, Dingxiang was too far from the south, if these Turks only walked on two legs, with the speed at which they dragged their families and mouths, it is estimated that it would take at least a year to walk.
As more and more Turkic tribes came to Dingxiang, some of the only remaining Turkic tribes began to send people to see Zhao Deyan, for example, Zhao Deyan met with a heavyweight today.
"Long time no see, should I call you Zhao Yehu, or should I call you Zhao Transfer?" In a mansion in Dingxiang City, he looked at Zhao Deyan in front of him with complicated eyes and asked, he never expected that Zhao Hong, who was sent by the Tang Dynasty to lead the Turkic migration affairs, turned out to be Zhao Deyan, and when he first saw the other party, he couldn't help but be shocked, and it took him a long time to react.
"Hehe, the general has lost a lot of weight, it seems that your life is not good during this time, but the previous Zhao Deyan is dead, and now standing in front of you, it is me Zhao Hong Zhao Zhao Transit Envoy!" Zhao Deyan said with a smile on his face at this time.
Lost thinking is Jieli's favorite general, when Jieli was defeated, he lost his thinking power but took the people of the headquarters to kill it, and he was originally the chief of the Lost Division, and the Lost Department is also a large tribe of the Turks, with tens of thousands of people, but after this war, although the loss of the Department is not small, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it is one of the only few large tribes of the Turks.
"It's really hard to live in the next day, but isn't this all due to Zhao Zhuan's envoy?" Stubbornly lost his strength at this time and gritted his teeth, last year he only knew that Zhao Deyan might have taken refuge in Datang, and he didn't know that Zhao Deyan was a spy sent by Datang, but now he saw that Zhao Deyan was not only in an important position, but even his name and identity had changed, which made him feel that this matter might not be so simple.
"Haha~, it's the wrong person to blame for losing the general, I just followed Jieli's orders and did some things, and it was Jieli himself who really made these decisions, so the general fell to the point where he is now, and Jieli should be blamed!" Zhao Deyan retorted with a laugh at this time.
"You ......" Zhao Deyan's words made it impossible to refute the stubbornness, in fact, what Zhao Deyan said is also true, if it weren't for Jieli's own insistence on going his own way and making the Turks embarrassed internally and externally, I am afraid they would not have been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty so easily, and they would not have fallen to the point where they are now.
Seeing that Zhi Zhi Sili didn't speak, Zhao Deyan couldn't help but smile indifferently, and then spoke again: "General Zhi Zhi, the previous things have passed, let's not worry about these anymore." In addition, with your talent, staying under the hands of Jieli is simply too condescending, my Majesty Datang has always been thirsty for talent, as long as you are willing to belong to my Datang, the glory and wealth in the future will also be inexhaustible, and the Ministry of Corruption will definitely get preferential treatment from Datang. ”
When he came to see Zhao Deyan today, he must have the idea of surrendering, so Zhao Deyan's words above can be regarded as giving him a step down, which makes him feel relieved, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Zhao Transit Envoy, I came today, in fact, I also received a message from the envoy you sent, I heard that you want to move all of us Turks to the territory of Datang, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"It's true, in fact, before the arrival of the general, there were already two groups of Turks going south, and the division was far away from us, so the general may have received the news a little late." Zhao Deyan nodded immediately.
"How is Datang going to settle us, and what do we live on?" Stubbornness is not an ordinary Turk, in fact, he once sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and he also knows the Tang Dynasty very well, so he immediately asked the key to the internal migration.
As for your future life, the imperial court will provide you with land for farming, and it doesn't matter if you don't know how to farm, the imperial court will send someone to teach you, and you can also do business, work, etc., and before you can support yourself, the imperial court will provide you with food, cloth and other necessary daily necessities." Zhao Deyan replied without changing his face, in fact, what he said was also true, but he concealed key information.
Hearing that Datang is not feeding them in vain, but to let them support themselves, it is more reassuring to lose their thinking power, after all, this also shows that Datang really wants them to move inward, not to deceive them.
"General Zhizhi, I have already told you the conditions for relocation, I don't know what your Zhifu Department plans, if you are willing to relocate, I can try to provide us with some convenience!" Zhao Deyan saw that he was stubborn and hesitant, and spoke again at the moment.
