Chapter 76 On the Turks

Xiao Yu continued, "Back to Your Majesty, the political hall has discussed that since the Turkic captives have entered the Tang Dynasty, they must not be easily released, and this 200,000 population can just make up for the multiple hukou in Shandong. The government suggested that 200,000 Turkic captives and 100,000 Han slaves should be dispersed and resettled in various prefectures of Shandong, so as to enrich the local population, distribute land and rations, and let them multiply. ”

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, most of the Wenchen expressed their approval, Shandong after the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande caught all the soldiers he could catch, and later Liu Heimin's anti-Tang Dynasty made the Shandong states worse, the population is not one in ten, especially the scarcity of men, and many counties have ten wives for a man, 300,000 people sound like a lot, but after it is scattered, it can't actually make any waves.

Wei Zheng also said, "Xiao Xiang's method is good, the old minister thinks that the household registration system is attached, the scattered Turkic population will be resettled in batches, the household registration will be established, and it will be controlled. One person violates the law, and a group is punished, as long as they survive the initial stage, they will experience the benefits of Datang, and they will naturally settle down. ”

Li Shimin listened to it and did not object, it is a good suggestion, the current household registration in Datang is only 2 million, and the population is too small. Turned his face and looked at the generals to see if there were any other suggestions, when Li Shimin saw that Li Ji, Li Daozong, and Chai Shao were sitting in danger on the military general's side, and the rest of Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chi Gong and a few others were all in a state of high hanging up, and they didn't mean to make suggestions at all, and Cheng Biting Jin was still digging his nose. Li Shimin secretly scolded the fool.

Thinking that Li De should have it again, his eyes swept over the military general class and he didn't find it for a while, so Li Shimin could only ask back to the civilian group.

"Do you have any other opinions, if not, then follow Xiao Xiang's plan."

The new Zhongshu Order, Yu Guogong, Wen Yanbo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the subordinate has another suggestion. ”

"Your Majesty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a way to settle nomadic tribes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved all the captured and surrendered Huns to the northern border to settle all the land of the five states, to preserve their tribes and customs, so as to appease with kindness, one can allow them to enrich the dilapidated border land, multiply and enrich the population, and second, let them really feel my Tang Dynasty, the Heavenly Empire, Your Majesty's grace and generosity as the Heavenly Khan, show that you have no suspicion of them, if according to the arrangement of Xiao Xiang and Lord Wei, Breaking them all apart is contrary to their customs and customs, and forcing them to change their customs is not the original intention of our education. ”

Wei Zheng was furious when he heard this, pointing at Wen Yanbo and saying, "This statement is extremely ridiculous, dare to ask Lord Wen, is the Xiongnu surrendered and captured by himself, it is not the Xiongnu who was fought by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the northern expedition, the Huns and the Turks are steppe nomads, since ancient times, they have been invading the land of our Central Plains, it is our feud, the Huns face the heart of the beast, not my race, their hearts will be different, when the Han Dynasty was strong, they were submissive, and when the Han Dynasty was declining, they immediately invaded the south, this ruthless and unjust, treacherous white-eyed wolf, they will inevitably enter the bandit invasion when they are strong, when they are weak, they pretend to surrender to the Central Plains, they are so natural in nature, are there still few examples like Qin and Han. Today, Your Majesty sent a large army to break through the Turks, you should scatter them all and settle them in the interior, this is 200,000 captives, and they must not be sent back to the grassland in the same way as the Han Dynasty, otherwise in a few years, they will have great strength after recuperation, and at that time our Tang Dynasty will be in danger, this is a problem for the henchmen, and the future troubles are endless, Your Majesty,"

Wen Yanbo said without giving in, "My Tang Dynasty is booming, the country is thriving, Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts far surpass the Qin and Han dynasties, since the Turkic Jieli has been defeated by our dynasty, and the remaining Turkic tribes must all submit to our dynasty, Your Majesty should take a soft policy, pity them, care for them, and properly settle them, how can you break them up and force them to change their living habits, this is by no means the principle of natural survival, how can such a disposal reassure those tribes who belong to it, and the truth that people like this are so stupid know it. It should be said that they should be resettled back in a place they are familiar with, so that they can appreciate the kindness of our court, so that they will not have the heart of rebellion. ”

Wei Zheng argued and said: "When the Jin Dynasty replaced the Wei State, the Hu tribe often operated in the surrounding areas, Jiang Tong persuaded Emperor Wu of Jin to expel them from the Saiwai, Emperor Wu of Jin did not listen, and a few years later, the power of the Hu tribe increased greatly, and many places were taken for themselves, and the lessons from the past are not far away." If His Majesty adopts Wen Yanbo's advice and allows them to live in the area south of the Yellow River, it is the so-called raising of tigers to leave a disaster for themselves. ”

Wen Yanbo said: "I have heard that the way of the saint is all accessible. The remnants of the Turkic tribes surrendered their lives to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty placed them in the interior of the Central Plains, and taught them the laws of etiquette, selected their leaders, and sent guards to garrison there, so that they were afraid of the majesty of the Tang Dynasty and grateful for the kindness of the Tang Dynasty, what is there to worry about? ”

"Emperor Wen of Sui mobilized the people, exhausted the treasury, supported the Turkic Khan, and let him return to the old land, and later the Khan treacherously besieged Emperor Yang of Sui in Yanmen. Now, Your Majesty is merciful and generous, and obeys their wishes, whether it is Henan or Hebei, let them choose where to live, there are many Turkic tribes, each tribe has its own chieftain, they are not unified internally, and their forces are scattered, how can it be harmful to our Central Plains government? ”

In the middle of the matter, Du Chuke and Wen Yanbo also stood up and said: "The alien people in the north have a beast's heart, and it is difficult to influence them, and it is easy to make them surrender by force. Now let their tribes be scattered south of the Yellow River, close to the Central Plains government, and in the long run, there will be disaster. As for the fact that Emperor Yang of Sui was trapped in Yanmen Pass, although it was caused by Turkic treachery, Emperor Yang of Sui was also an important reason. The Central Plains declined and perished because of this incident, how can it be blamed on the Central Plains government's supportive policies for ethnic minorities? Ethnic minorities will not disturb the Chinese nation, this is the experience summed up by the sages. Let those who are dying live and let what is about to become extinct perpetuate, this is the common principle of the ancient sages. I'm afraid that if you don't follow the ancient precepts, it will be difficult for Datang to last long! ”

The three of them were arguing endlessly, each of them did not give in to each other, at this time, Li Jing and Li Ji would never agree with Wen Yanbo and Du Chuke in their hearts, and they took the Turkic barbarians who were finally pressed on their bodies by Han Jiaerlang to defeat, and you civil officials came to stir up the situation at this time, and in two sentences, you wanted those captives to go back easily, isn't this a slap in the face. Did the soldiers die in vain? Li Jing and Li Ji are both civil and military figures, how could they not know that releasing the Turkic captives is a bad move, but unfortunately the two of them are representatives of the military, this kind of internal affairs is really not easy to participate in, Li Ji turned his head and saw a certain figure hiding behind, and exchanged a few words with Li Jing softly, Li Jing nodded, and Li Ji picked up the jade pendant at hand. Directly threw it at the man's head.

Li De was hiding behind a pillar and was sleeping. Anyway, this kind of stinky and long meeting of singing praises and virtues, whether it is in later generations or now, makes him think of it, with Li Shimin pretending to be forced on it, he is also happy and leisurely, just hiding to make up for sleepiness. Since he succeeded, this day has not been too pleasant, and he was caught by Li Shimin for a meeting before dawn, and he was sleepy.

"", the jade pendant is in Li De's big head, Li De in the dream was woken up by the jade pendant, touched his head and touched a piece of cold jade pendant, his eyes scanned back and forth to see who was so stingy, not letting him sleep, Cheng Yanjin was watching a good show with Wei Chigong, Li Jing and Li Ji sat straight, but Li De's sharp eyes saw that the jade pendant on Li Ji's body was gone, it was estimated that it was this one, I wanted to go over to find Li Ji's stubble, and I happened to hear the conversation between Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo.

"Damn, you have to be mentally retarded to make such a rubbish suggestion," Li De didn't have to think about whether he was being used as a gun at this time, even if it was true, he would do it himself. Labor and management were behind for a while, and they almost made a big deal.

After listening to their conversation, Li Shimin was actually very useful in his heart, how to say that he is also a heavenly khan, the Tang Dynasty is like the sky, how can it not be Fan Yangguang's mistake, if according to Wen Yanbo's words, put the Turks back, then his voice will inevitably go to the next level, Li Shimin was moved, and was about to make a decision. was interrupted by Li De.

A shout of rage came. "This king looks at who is so bold and dares to be a traitor."

Li Shimin and the ministers looked at Li De, who walked out with a burning face and a swagger, which is very good-looking.

Li Jing quietly gave Li Ji a thumbs up, and Li De came out. That's going to be it.

Wei Zheng, Wen Yanbo, and Du Chuke didn't know how to provoke this prince, but they saw Li De walking in front of Wei Zheng, his eyes revealing a sense of respect, which made everyone unexpectedly Yes, Li De immediately gave Wei Zheng a big gift.

"Lord Wei, please accept my worship."

Wei Zheng hurriedly dodged to the side in fright, and said, "Why is the prince like this?" ”

Li De said, "This king, I respect you as the backbone of my Han family, and you can accept this gift." He turned around and said to Li Shimin, "Brother Huang, Master Wei is a man of true insight and thinks about the Tang Dynasty." It is thought by thousands of people of Datang. A true doctor for His Majesty's sake. You can't listen to the tricks of these two traitors, otherwise my Datang will be in danger, and my Li family will be ashamed of the subjects of the world! ”

Li Shimin looked at his unusually younger brother in shock, and before he could speak, Wen Yanbo and Du Chuke next to Li De were anxious. Traitor, these two words have been used by Li De since Li De charged Zhao Deyan, and his charges have spread all over the Tang Dynasty, the name of traitor has been infamous for 10,000 years, and anyone who is said to be a traitor is more uncomfortable than dead.

Wen Yanbo said unceremoniously, "King Wei, why do you slander us so much, although you are a prince, you can't be contemptuous of a certain person." ”
