Li Zhi first talked about the Turks.

In Li Wei's mind, the Turks were just a border scourge, and he didn't even regard the Turks as his subjects. What you say doesn't count, it's soothing. But in Li Zhi's heart, it was not, the Turkic and Silla kingdoms were of the same nature, and they were fake submissions. Since the annihilation of Xue Yantuo, almost all the forces in the desert have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and in Li Zhi's heart, the desert is also the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people are also the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If there is an incident, it is called rebellion, and it will not be tolerated. [bsp; Several people looked at Li Wei suspiciously, this was another time the emperor mentioned it, but it didn't happen after all.

Li Wei said: "Everyone, don't believe it, not only are some Turkic people unwilling, but our generals are getting weaker, and there are other reasons. ”

sighed and said, "In the past, His Majesty Taizong once said that my soldiers should treat Erzhuhu with one as ten. Will it work today? ”

None of the prime ministers could answer.

There are many reasons for this, one is the soldiers who fought for a long time, and the other is that at the beginning of the founding of the country, the population was sharply reduced, there were many empty fields, and the rewards were heavy. There is not much money, but the fields can be rewarded. Therefore, all the soldiers fought bravely and were rewarded for their meritorious service.

But will it work today?

Could it be that he has become a training soldier, regardless of the strength of the country, to come to a poor army? Besides, what field is there to be rewarded? Even Li Wei felt regret in his heart, and he faintly felt that it was time to eliminate. Conscription can be used, and the state cannot afford it. Therefore, I thought of the compulsory military system, which looks very good, and when you are a soldier for a few years, you can be discharged from the army, and the country does not have a heavy burden. But in this way, most of the soldiers are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness is still very low.

On the way out of the tour, I talked with Liu Renliang, the emperor's henchman, and he was willing to humbly ask for advice, and Liu Renliang knew everything. The two of them discussed and came up with a way to use the conscription system to bring the compulsory military system, that is, to retain some brave soldiers in battle, and to become professional soldiers to support all the troops, and the country could not afford to raise some troops. In this way, the essence of the army can be passed on and supplemented by compulsory arms.

After discussing it, there are also a lot of controversies, and I didn't dare to say it when I came back this time.

But no matter how you do it, the soldiers are not as good as the early Tang Dynasty.

He also said: "The decline of military power will also lose the strongest backing to maintain the policy of restraint. Even the integrity policy itself has its own mistakes. ”

"Hong'er, don't talk nonsense," Li Zhi said.

The policy of restraint was the foundation of the Tang Dynasty's pacification of Zhuhu, and Li Wei's spearhead was pointed at it, and Li Zhi inevitably lost his color.

"Father, please listen to what your sons say. Li Daliang and Wei Zheng said during Zhenguan that the Chinese people (not only the Han people, but also the Xianbei people who have been sinicized in the north) are the foundation of the country, and the Yi people are its branches and leaves, damaging its roots, and strengthening its branches and leaves, which has never been seen since ancient times. His Majesty Taizong was willing, but he still did not find a good way to solve it, so he had to use his strategy to maintain Huyi. If I am not mistaken, Xue Yantuo also said that the Supreme (referring to Li Shimin) broke the Turks, and when he used the Turks as slaves and maids and gave them to the people, why did he adopt them like adopted sons? Up to now, the state has also given a large amount of gold and silver to the Turkic Zhuhu every year, which is also one of the heavy burdens of the people of the Central Plains. But isn't it possible to buy good ones? No matter how you treat it, it will not surpass Emperor Wen of Sui to treat Qimin, what about later? ”

Just this question, all of them are speechless.

"Since it is divided into bonds, there is a difference between them, but the people of the Central Plains despise them in their hearts, how can there be no two hearts? Pei Qing, I asked you to draft a plan to treat Hu, why didn't I approve it in the end, do you see this? But as soon as Li Wei's voice changed, he took the initiative to call him for Pei Yan to change his life today, and asked him to cooperate so that he could not trouble him, and said: "But they are Hu Yi after all, and their living habits are different, even me, and I have not come up with a good idea so far." ”

It's not that there is no idea.,No policy works.,Only comprehensive sinicization.,But I don't dare to say it.。

"In order to appease, although there is no tribute, the court continues to give, reward, help the army, eat the city, eat Lu, at the peak, almost half of the court. But he didn't let them discuss things, but he was only kind to them. If you are Turkic, will the consciousness of Tianjiao rear-rise? He continued to go out to fight with my court, and when he saw the gradual decline of our soldiers, he had more rewards for the war, and brought more slaves and maids. Ask them what kind of thoughts will arise in their hearts. Why did the Monan tribes request the re-canonization of the khan fifteen years ago (the Xue Yantuo tribe was eliminated, and the Tang Dynasty canceled the title of Turkic khan)? After so many years of development, even in the event of a disaster, the imperial court took the initiative to provide disaster relief, and the Turkic people gradually recovered. What will they think when the price goes up? ”

There is only one result, and there is no doubt that it will be the opposite!

"Also, socio-economic deformities. Today I will say this paragraph, just on the facts, I hope you don't make a fuss about it," he said, looking at Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Hong'er, just talk about it, and let everyone discuss it, you might as well." ”

With Wu Zetian's consent, Li Wei continued, saying: "When the Turks were at their strongest, they reached the East China Sea in the east, Persia in the west, Yanmen in the south, and no man's land in the north. Even the countries of Lingyou. Shi, Paona Khan (Han Zhi Dawan), Kang, Cao, Mi, He, An, Shi, Huoxun (Flower Thorn Mold), Tocharo, Huo (Yan Dan, extinct), Fan Yan, Punishment Bin, Jian Daluo, Gu Lu, Hu Mi, Ju Mi, Hu Shi Jian, Xie Su, Jiu Yue Dejian, Dole Jian, Heng Wu, Barihei, Shi Khanna, Shi Yin so many large and small countries, different races, different customs, but almost all of them are Turkic. This is not counting, if you look at Tibet, how many tribes have been swallowed up, but now there are a few tribes, especially in the plateau area of the nuclear area, that have not been Tuboized. No matter how far away, there is also the Great Eclipse, the French Party, Byzantium, all of them. How do they rule, they are expropriating and expropriating, and they rarely treat these tribal chiefs and people well! Why can we only use incorruptibility in the Central Plains? Without fetters, it is impossible to even rule, isn't it attractive at all? ”

This question was very sharp, and the side hall was dumbfounded again.

"Awareness! Because of the arable land, it is forbidden to kill horses and cattle, and the people only raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, do not drink milk, do not eat beef, do not wear woolen clothes, eat Taiji, and wear mulberry and hemp. I am also afraid that the people of the world will value profit over righteousness, emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and taxes will only come from agricultural rents. Now the father and the queen mother handle the state affairs, which is good government, and the ministers are also dedicated to their duties, so the state expenditure can still be balanced. That's how it happened a few years ago. Once he couldn't make ends meet, he had to make a circle on salt, tea and wine to record the people again. It is the industriousness of the people that keeps the regime alive. But how did Yihu do it? Some of them have a poor living environment, and in order to survive, they can farm, pasture, and business. The reason why Dashi is so big and can expand so quickly is that there is a developed business system. Ladies and gentlemen, Hugh wants to say that the big food is not good, and the national strength of the big food today is no less than that of our Tang Dynasty. What can be the attraction of these two different lifestyles to the Hu people? So I had to fight, and then I was soothed after the fight, but no matter which one it was, it was increasing the burden on the people and the country. ”

It can be said that this is the first time that Li Wei has sharply raised this drawback.

Everyone frowned, but they couldn't refute it.

"This is fundamental, and when it comes to strategy, Taizong did not do it very well......" refers to the border Ansaihu people, but does not say explicitly. After returning from the breakout, Pei Xingjian tactfully criticized him for coming to Qinghai to raise the matter. Then he euphemistically said the reason Li Jinggong returned, Li Shimin reprimanded Fu Li for five capital crimes, and then sealed the right guard general, Tuli even sealed the king of Beiping County, and ate thousands of households, far more than Li Jing's Weiguo Gong and 700 households. Ashina Simo was named the king of Huaide County, and the other chieftains of Hu were rewarded higher than the Han generals.

This is not only a reassurance, but also a constraint.

At that time, the generals were outstanding, and they set up many immortal heroes, especially Li Jing, and they were not like Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, who were Li Shimin's real descendants, and the high seal of Zhuhu was also a kind of constraint and balance.

Later strategies are also a product of this context. Most of the courtiers' ideas were the same as Li Wei's later practice, which was to disperse in the Central Plains and force these Turks to sinicize, but in the end, Li Shimin adopted Wen Yanbo's strategy, which was also a constraint. Wen Yanbo's reason is very far-fetched, saying that it is against human morality, and he also makes these tribes unable to disperse, what they were like in the past, and what they were like later, scattered on the border. It is also a different living habit, so how many Han people in Guanzhong, Henan today, are the Xianbei people who moved under the leadership of Emperor Wei Wendi?

This was to restrain Li Jing and other generals who had made great achievements in the world, and as soon as Li Jing returned to the court, Wen Yanbo immediately colluded with Xiao Li to impeach Li Jing for lax governance of the army, causing Hu Yuqibao to scatter in the hands of the rebels. Li Shimin immediately reprimanded, and rewarded Li Jing after the reprimand. Speaking of this, Pei Xingjian said with admiration: "This is a vivid performance of the emperor's mental technique. ”

Balancing constraints is what the emperor must do, but he must do practical things and distinguish between the important and the important, rather than Li Zhi ignoring everything for the sake of power.

Later, Li Shimin also realized that there were many troubles, and they were plugged edges, but they were too heavy, and they were not very relieved. At about this time, Li Shimin probably regretted it a little, but the original department did not move before, and now it is difficult to disperse and settle in the Central Plains. I had to let Ashina Nmo lead many Turks to transport them back to the steppe again.

However, in the hands of Li Zhi, many Hu people were stuffed at the border, and the Sui Dynasty strategy adopted by Li Shimin later was also used to divide and govern the grassland. For example, supporting the puppet Yin Wang Wheel and Bisu. But it was not done very well, such as Bisu, the nine surnames of Mobei were not compatible, and their strength was comparable, but the Tang Dynasty made the Hui people respected, which led to the four anti-Tang Dynasty divisions of Fumu, Tongluo, Sijie, and Dia Yegu, and as a result, Tianshan (Inner Mongolia is Yudu Jin Mountain) made Xue Rengui fight very badly.

Therefore, this strategy is not very successful, so it is said that it is to win over, but it is better to say that it is a powerful force to forcibly make the nine surnames of Mobei Tiele surrender.

After all, one is his grandfather and the other is his father.

And these two people did a good job, if they didn't have Pei Xingjian's almost heart-to-heart enlightenment, they also didn't understand why the grandfather of the wise and martial arts made this seemingly low-level mistake?

But at that time, it was a constraint, and Li Jing was very honest when he returned to the court, and he almost closed his door, so as not to worry about getting into trouble. Li Wei didn't feel much disgusted, compared to Han Gaozu and Zhu Yuanjiang, for the heroes, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Xiu and his grandfather, who had never met, did a good job.

It can leave hidden dangers for future generations.

So he changed his words and said, "Today, my soldiers are weak, and his soldiers are strong." Moreover, Qinghai has a heavy army and brave generals to defend Tibet. In addition, Pei Shilang went to the Western Turks, and there was a possible instigation of Qinling, at this time they did not rebel, when will they wait? ”

There is a reason why it is said that the Turks will rebel, but Li Wei did not say it until today. If you don't say it, these people don't believe it either.

Guo Zhengyi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, then what should I do?" ”

The Tibetan people are ambitious, and Qinghai is not peaceful. The Western Turks were in chaos, Silla went north, and the Eastern Turks were plotting again, and it was a headache to think about it.

"There is no way to stop it, the difference in living habits dooms me to be unattractive, I want them to surrender, only I can stay strong." Then looked at Li Zhi, that means, you should come, don't think too much about the Turks, and think about how to make the Tang Dynasty stronger.
