Chapter 254: News from Chang'an

"It's no problem to advertise! Anyone can do it, but you have to give money. How to give money, you go and ask the editor-in-chief of the Southern Daily, he has a special price list. On a first-come, first-served basis, the competing sections are won by the highest bidder. ”

Li Hao is very talkative, and after these guys ran over, they agreed, isn't it just advertising, the more the merrier. However, how to give money, that is a matter of the newspaper, this kind of thing Li Hao has already discussed with them, what section should be how to collect money, this has a saying.

As a person who came from later generations, Li Hao naturally knows a little about how to advertise in later newspapers and magazines to make money. So he directly moved that set here, and counting the cost of distributing the newspaper, the Nanfang Bao founded by Li Hao only issued one issue and began to make a profit.

This result was also unexpected by Li Hao, he was originally preparing for this newspaper to lose money for half a year, but he didn't expect that now only one issue will be profitable, which makes Li Hao more and more confident in the future of Nanfang Daily, maybe it can be bigger, and it can go further.

The thirteenth year of Zhenguan passed quickly, and after the war in Lingnan Province subsided, everything was developing towards prosperity. This is also good news for Datang. After Li Er of Chang'an City received the battle report from Lingnan, he was overjoyed and then knighted Li Hao, and also rewarded a lot of fields, and the soldiers who fought were rewarded.

This reward was also unexpected by Li Hao, he thought that he would get a small reward at most, and those guys in Chang'an City would definitely say that they killed indiscriminately or had no benevolence, but now they didn't.

Li Hao also roughly knew some things that happened in the imperial court at this time, and this kind of thing should have been opposed by many people who were unhappy with Li Hao. But an incident happened this year that silenced everyone, and no one dared to say anything about this war of conquest of foreign peoples.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Taizong was fortunate to be ninety into the palace. The younger brother of the Tuli Khan, Zhonglang, led the Ashina Association to lead the Yin Junction Division, and supported the Tuli son He Luohu to invade the imperial camp at night, and the matter was defeated, and they were all captured and beheaded. This is a big event that happened in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, and it happened like the original history, and this incident also made Li Er start to reflect on what he had done before.

Taizong was not a direct Turk, repented of his subordinates in China, returned his old troops to Hebei, built a tooth in the old Dingxiang City, and set up Li Simo as the master of Yimi Ni and the Khan of Libi. Because the courtier said: "The Chinese people, the foundation of the world, the people of the four yi, are the same branches and leaves, disturbing their roots with thick branches and leaves, and seeking long-term peace, there is no one." At first, he didn't accept Wei's words, but he felt that his labor was getting worse and worse, and he lost the way of long-term peace. ”

This is a classic violent terrorist incident, and the consequences are far-reaching. Thinking about Zhenguan for nine years, Li Shimin once boasted of his three major achievements, one of which was national reconciliation, he said: "From the Zhou Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty, the surrounding ethnic groups have invaded from time to time. Now that the surrounding peoples have surrendered, that is to say, from the perspective of the Huairouyi people, I have surpassed the ancients again. ”

Prior to this, there had been a heated debate among the ministers about how to settle the defeated and surrendered Turks. The courtiers all suggested that they move to Henan, scatter in counties and counties, and implement sinicization. Prime Minister Wen Yanbo disagreed, advocating the adoption of Emperor Wu of Han's practice of resettling the Xiongnu and placing the Turks in Shuofang to preserve their tribes and customs.

At the beginning, there was a lot of controversy in the imperial court, and Wei Zheng jumped out and said: "...... The Huns have a beast's heart, not my race, the strong will be robbers, and the weak will be humble, regardless of kindness and righteousness, and their nature is also. …… Your Majesty lives in the interior, and now there are several to 100,000 people, a few years later, the nourishment is too doubled, living in my elbows and armpits, Fu Er Wangji, the disease of the henchmen, will be a trouble, especially not punished in Henan. ”

Wen Yanbo immediately objected: "The Son of Heaven is to all things, the heavens and the earth are contained, and those who belong to me will be raised." Now the Turks are broken, the remnants are attached, Your Majesty does not have pity, abandons and does not accept, it is not the way of heaven and earth, the meaning of blocking the four yi, the ministers are foolish, and it is appropriate to deal with Henan. The so-called death and life, death and survival, with my kindness, there will be no rebellion in the end. ”

Wei Zheng also said: "When there was Wei in the Jin Dynasty, the Hu tribe was separated from the county, and Jiang Tong persuaded him to expel him. The previous generation overturned the car, and Yin Jian was not far away. His Majesty will use Yan Boyan to send him to Henan, and the so-called beast breeding will be self-inflicted. ”

Wen Yanbo objected again: "When you hear the way of the sage, you know everything. The remnants of the Turkic souls, with their lives returned to me, took in the interior, taught etiquette, elected their chiefs, sent the guards, feared the prestige and Huaide, what is the trouble? And Guangwu lived in Henan Shan Yu Nei County, thinking that Han Fanhan, the last generation, did not rebel. ”

He also said: "Emperor Wen of Sui worked soldiers and horses, spent warehouses, set up a khan, ordered the restoration of his country, and then lost his trust and besieged Emperor Yang in Yanmen." Now His Majesty is benevolent, from what he wants, Henan, Hebei, live at will, each has a chieftain, not subordinate to each other, the force is scattered, and the security can be harmful? ”

gave Du Chuke the opinion of supporting Wei Zheng in the matter, and said: "Beidi people have a beast's heart, it is difficult to be virtuous, and it is easy to be subdued. Now his tribe is scattered in Henan, approaching China, and it will be a trouble for a long time. As for the Battle of Yanmen, although it was a Turkic betrayal, there was no way to be free and Sui. If China is in turmoil, how can it be that Yunxing will restore the country and cause this disaster? Yi does not mess with China, the former philosopher and the Ming training, survival and extinction, and the holy general rules. I am afraid that things will not be taught by the ancients, and it will be difficult to last long. ”

Soon after, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, discovered the problem, and he said: "...... The Chinese people, the foundation of the world, the people of the four yi, are like branches and leaves, disturbing their roots with thick branches and leaves, and seeking long-term peace, there is no one. Since ancient times, the king of the Ming Dynasty has transformed China into faith, and he has the power to control Yidi. Therefore, the cloud of "Spring and Autumn": "Rong Di jackal, not to be tired; Zhuxia is intimate and cannot be abandoned. ’…… With China's rent, for the evil captives, its many benefits, not China's benefits. ”

It is a pity that as a result of this debate, Li Shimin did not listen to the opinions of others, but insisted on adopting the gentle policy of Wen Yanbo and adopting the way of a saint to those people in Fanbang.

"From Youzhou to Lingzhou, the governor's mansion of Shun, You, Hua and Chang is everywhere, and its people live in Chang'an near and 10,000 families. Since the Turkic Jieli Po, the leaders of the tribes have come to surrender, all worship the general Zhonglang General, the Bulie court, more than 100 people above the fifth grade, and half of the courtiers. But the extension could not come, and he sent to comfort him, and the messengers looked at each other in the way. ”

Taizong adopted Wen Yanbo's suggestion, but Wei Zheng objected, and the two argued over it for years. This is also what Li Hao has been criticizing in the past, and Li Er didn't pay much attention to Li Hao's suggestion. Now Li Er finally tasted the bitter fruit he planted, which led to this attack in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan.

In the past year, because of the garrison of several generals, the complete destruction of the Tubo civilization, the killing of a large number of Tubo nobles, and the large number of Taoism in Tubo, the degree of differentiation and sinicization of the Tubo people has accelerated a lot.

And because of the opening of the trade route of Jiannan Road, the trade here has developed rapidly. The cattle and sheep raised by the Tibetan people were sold to merchants, and then exchanged for daily necessities from the merchants, plus the hot sales of various special products, so that the trade with the Tang Dynasty here became extremely frequent.

The abolition of the slavery system made the Tibetan people do not have to hand over the things they earned through their own labor to those nobles, and their lives were better than before, which made their recognition of the Tang Dynasty higher and higher.

After comparing the two sides, the superiority and inferiority, coupled with Li Hao's consistent sinicization remarks, make Li Er now more and more inclined to Li Hao's thoughts. Therefore, for Li Hao's achievements and progress in the south, Li Er naturally did not hesitate to reward and praise him.

The establishment of the Ryukyu Prefecture Prefecture, Li Er maybe, and also arranged for officials from Chang'an to go over, preparing to open a prefecture in Ryukyu and establish several states to move the Han people over. It's a pity that because Ryukyu belongs to the land outside the country, anyone who has a little relationship on the Chang'an side is unwilling to go to work there, which is cheap for Li Hao's students.

After the imperial examination, they were originally just holding a small official position waiting to slowly climb, but because of the opening of the Ryukyu Prefecture, they were all assigned to serve here under the operation of Comrade Xiaowu, and they were also promoted to official positions, which was a surprise to Li Hao.

In addition to the establishment of the Ryukyu Prefecture, Li Hao did not let go of Qiongdao. This side was originally under the jurisdiction of a state on the side of Guangzhou Prefecture, and after Li Hao came over, he felt that this management was not good, so he simply asked the imperial court to open a separate mansion in Qiongzhou.

Li Hao's plan was to separate the prefectures on Qiongdao, and then set up several prefectures below, just like the Ryukyus. Then people will move to the two large islands and vigorously develop these two places. It's a great place, there are a lot of resources that can be exploited, and you have to develop them in advance.

Li Eryi agreed to it, and all of them were placed under the rule of Lingnan Province. Wu Shun also benefited from this reward, and was awarded the title of Lady of Command, so that her status was immediately promoted.

It is more difficult for several other women to get this, and Li Hao can't help it. At least when Li Er was there, Li Hao had no way to let the women around him get the gift of a lady of fate.

All the rewards went to Lingnan before the Spring Festival, which allowed those under Li Hao to live a happy New Year. At this time, Li Hao began to adjust the strength of Lingnan Province to prepare for a new campaign in the coming year.

The total strength of 20,000 troops has not changed, and the original generals have not changed. However, the soldiers who were originally fighting were returned to Tanzhou by the soldiers transferred from Tanzhou, and those from Guangzhou and Quanzhou were returned to the state capital.

Then the auxiliaries who had been defending the city were recruited from these two state capitals, changed to the main soldiers, and formed 20,000 new soldiers and horses to join the training. The next year's campaign will be based on these forces, and 20,000 auxiliaries.

After the 20,000 recruits have passed the war, Li Hao will send them back again, and then rebuild the recruits with the original 20,000 main soldiers as the main force. In short, Li Hao on the Lingnan Road side has always planned to maintain 20,000 regular soldiers, and will not add one person.
