Chapter 70: Short-sightedness
“…… This battle captured the Turkic Jieli Khan. Han Rui talked eloquently, and said with great fascination: "The Tang army suddenly shook the eight wildernesses, and the surrounding tribes called them ministers and paid tribute, respecting His Majesty as the Khan of the Heavens, and the northern border can be described as silent, which is all the credit of Li Gong." ”
Several big men were full of red light, and they all looked at the handsome middle-aged, and suddenly felt honored.
"This is the decision of the Son of Heaven, the service of the soldiers, the right time and place, not the work of one person." Junyi middle-aged smiled faintly: "Since the external troubles have been decided, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and looking at the world, I am afraid that there is no place for it." ”
"Not really." Han Rui said: "After the Turks died, hundreds of thousands of people surrendered, and Wei Zheng, the secretary and supervisor at that time, suggested that the Turkic world was the enemy of China, and now it will be destroyed, and it should be sent back to Hebei." The ambition of birds and beasts, not my race, if it is weak, it will be subdued, and if it is strong, it will be rebellious, and its natural surname is also. Moreover, the Qin and Han Dynasty attacked Henan as a county with sharp divisions, so as not to make China closer. And the one hundred thousand, if it is ordered for several years, the yield is slightly doubled, and it is close to Gidian, and the heart and abdomen are also sick. ”
Wei Zheng felt that the Turkic wolf species, these people are the descendants of wolves, they can't teach benevolence and righteousness, they can't punish the law, and these people can't eat hard and soft, so it is recommended to kill all their chiefs and disperse their people in the north and south of the river.
Everyone understands the truth of raising tigers, but unfortunately, the Confucian ministers who don't know if they are stupid to read and read, open their mouths to the way of sages, and keep their mouths closed to teach without class, and feel that as long as they move people to fertile places in the interior, teach them etiquette and law, work as farmers, and choose chiefs to be guards, what is the danger.
However, when people are moved to the interior, there is a problem, what to do with the Turkic homeland, sending troops to garrison, it is difficult to defend, and if it is occupied by other nomadic tribes, it is a pity, how can the people who have worked hard to fight it cheaper than others.
At this time, someone came up with an idea, called Rise and Extinction. Seeing that this Turk was about to be extinct, and that it was going to be extinct, and that it was the most remarkable thing to rise and perish, and that it was the noblest thing in ancient times, Li Shimin adopted a suggestion and took the Turkic khans and nobles to live in Chang'an, but let the local people serve as governors and govern their own tribes.
It is equivalent to that if I defeated you, I will let you be an official, I will also let you govern, give land, and seal officials, and the treatment is simply better than that of the Tang Army soldiers who won the battle. Thinking of this, several big men looked angry, but the handsome middle-aged man said calmly: "The whole tribe, follow its customs, use the empty land, make it for China, surrender to the four Yi, be grateful to the court, and respect Your Majesty as the Khan of Heaven, what's wrong." ”
"The country is easy to change, the surname is difficult to change, and the benevolence and righteousness of Yidi are like playing the piano to the cow, and sooner or later it will harm the Central Plains." Han Rui sighed, thinking of more than a hundred years later, the division of Fanzhen, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the Liaoxia Jinyuan, all kinds of tribulations.
"Haha, country boy, but with Wei... The elder of the pavilion is generally worried about the country and the people, but the court is so decisive, it is not unreasonable, when the Han military poor soldiers for more than 30 years, tired of China, and gained little, now it is said that the court is virtuous, so that the poor land, all for the household, is not more clever. ”
Han Rui shook his head and sighed, indeed, the Han Dynasty had been fighting for decades, the Great Wall was full of smoke, victory was a victory, and the result was not any benefit, but the treasury was emptied, with this lesson from the past, Li Shimin must not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, after all, compared to the flower world of the Central Plains, the grassland is too barren.
It is also a model of the emperor and the emperor through the ages, it is so short-sighted, Han Rui can only scold in his heart, there is no way, who called the emperor's minister not a traverser, he knows that the grassland tribe is a scourge, but he can't imagine how serious the scourge is, so he has to let it go.
"Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered, the wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows again." Han Rui said in a low voice: "Don't look at the grassland tribe is now tame and obedient, but the heart of encroaching on the Central Plains is not dead, if the grass is not eradicated, and the imperial court is negligent in taking precautions, sooner or later they will lead troops to attack." ”
“…… The spring breeze blows and grows, good poetry. Junyi middle-aged sighed, smiled and said: "But you are also too worried, military affairs, how can the monarchs and ministers of the court take it lightly, whether it is to cut down or caress it, naturally know in their hearts, if the enemy's thief heart does not die, the 100,000 armor soldiers guarding the border pass are not decorations, dare to lead the crowd to attack, they will definitely be defeated and flee, and then destroy their country." ”
The word "destroying the country" vaguely reveals the incomparable self-confidence of the handsome middle-aged, quite talking and laughing, and the feeling of being strong and dusty, which makes people hear it, and the pride is born, Han Rui is like this, this kind of looking at the world, respecting me, and committing my Tang Dynasty, although it is far away, it will be punished, which is not something that future generations can experience.
After being intoxicated for a moment, Han Rui said: "It's not too much to worry about, it's been four years since the imperial court broke through the Turks, and some people have forgotten the military power of the imperial court, so they should be ready to move." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Junyi's middle-aged eyebrows raised slightly, and his heart moved slightly.
Scratching his hair and recalling carefully, Han Rui said: "Turkic, but not just a khan, there are many tribes, the Turks died back then, some tribes either attached Xue Yantuo in the north, or went west to the Western Regions, at the beginning of this year, Jieli, who was captured to Chang'an, died, there must be someone who can't bear the loneliness and makes excuses to make trouble." ”
Looking at Han Rui in surprise for a moment, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "What do you call the little brother, how old is this year." ”
"Boy Han Rui, now seventeen." Han Rui saluted.
"Judging by your speech and demeanor, you should be a scholar, how can you be so interested in military affairs if you don't think about taking the exam." Junyi said with a middle-aged smile: "Don't you want to learn from the class, and throw your pen from Rong." ”
I just wanted to answer, but when I saw that outside the hall door, Ah Fu beckoned, Han Rui owed his guilt, and said with a smile: "A few people came from the dust, a remote village, no better than a high-ranking mansion, and a simple dust washing banquet was also set up, please be invited." ”
Looking at the sky, groaning slightly, Junyi's middle-aged plan to leave happily agreed.
Han Rui stood at the door of the hall, bowed slightly and stretched out his hand to guide, and when the middle-aged and handsome people walked out of the hall door, they saw Han Zhuang step forward, gently tugged at his clothes, and said in a low voice: "...... Where did the family get the wine banquet? ”
"Brother Eighteen, don't worry, I have already made people prepare just now." Han Rui whispered: "These people are distinguished guests from afar, and the seventh uncle is not at home, so we can't be rude and slack." ”
"Okay." Han Zhuang said, his eyes flashed with a hint of gratitude, hesitated, his lips moved slightly, and he said thank you as if he didn't want to, and then walked away. Han Rui smiled, and also followed, and walked to the fence courtyard on the side of the hall, the banquet had been set up, and everyone was waiting to sit down.
Respecting the handsome middle-aged, the others sat down according to the seats, Han Rui was at the bottom, and said with a smile: "There are friends from afar, the celebration of life, but only turbid wine and coarse rice are treated, please don't mind." ”
"Little brother has a heart." Junyi middle-aged smiled: "Bowl of wine and meat, what else is not satisfied." ”
Several big men at the side said that they were indeed satisfied, because when preparing for the banquet, Han Rui ordered to go down and let the chef cook the dishes of the north, which naturally suited their tastes.
"Needless to say, in the love wine, the kid drank it first as a tribute."
