Li Chen has a lot of things to worry about, he wants to completely control the grassland, and take a multi-pronged approach, so that the northern plain will never be able to turn over the big waves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He knew that in the next few hundred years, it would be the most prosperous period for these nomads, starting with the rise of the Khitan and the establishment of the Liao State, to the Jurchen Jin, and finally the Mongols.

Among them, of course, there is the problem of China's national fortunes, a strong cadre and weak branches, and the Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature and light on military force, but also encountered the loss of border defense. But there are also climatic problems, and the difficult times on the grasslands have forced them to expand outward, and not only China, but also many countries and countless cultures have been destroyed.

Li Chen hated the Manchu Qing Dynasty in ancient times, not to mention that he was weak and weak, and he was still a minority ruling the majority of ethnic groups, and he was destined not to reform. But I hate the Mongols even more, the Mongols only destroy and do not create. The place where it passed was desolate, with only destruction and no construction.

As for the promotion of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, only the West has benefited, and the damage has been the least, and it is China that has fallen behind. Does China have any benefits from this? What technology or culture has been introduced? Only China's four great inventions were introduced to the West. The Mongols, on the other hand, had an iron hoof and stopped when they reached Venice, and the countries of Western Europe were not damaged at all.

Look at Timur in the future, almost the same period as Ming Chengzu, he destroyed most of Asia, and everywhere he passed, his army carried out the three lights very thoroughly, and there was only one Baghdad left, and he moved all the treasures, women, and craftsmen back to Baghdad for his own enjoyment.

It was also Asia that suffered and collapsed, and the Europeans also began to embark on the route to find the East due to the cut off of the east-west land route, which prompted the beginning of the great geographical discoveries.

This kind of barbarian people who can stand side by side with the Spaniards, even if there is even the slightest chance, he will not give them a chance to get back on their feet, he wants to take advantage of him still alive to completely put an end to the possible crisis.

In fact, he is already doing it, Wukong represents the Buddhist court, like Li Chen expressed his willingness to take on the responsibility of preaching, Li Chen is just the last piece of the puzzle, completely subjugating all the northern nomads.

Li Chen decided the fate of the nomads of the steppe, they didn't know it, there was a lot of noise on the grassland at the moment, everyone wanted to decide their own fate, their own way of life, and indoctrinate others.

"As long as you surrender to the Tang Dynasty and abide by the order of the Tang Dynasty, our tribe has lived like this for thousands of years. As it turned out, the Heavenly Khan was too powerful to resist, and we didn't want to send warriors to struggle in vain.'

"For thousands of years, none of us Khitan people have a history of thousands of years, and you Xi people dare to call yourself thousands of years old. The Khitans are all brave, not cowardly."

"We Xi Ke is from Xianbei, how come there is no thousand-year history. Otherwise, it is better for yourselves to resist, and you are brave, and you will go up yourselves.'" On the grass in the open air, a group of grassland nobles are arguing, the Khitan people want to resist to the end, the Xi people are unwilling, and the two sides have quarreled more than once.

"Noisy, what's the use of arguing, Ye Lan, you don't have to say a word, Ru Xi, this time the Tang Dynasty is menacing, it's different from before, it's not a soft one, just say two good words." , The two quarreled for a long time, and someone came out to mediate.

"This time, Datang has made it clear that the policies that will be implemented on those fetters will also be used on the grasslands. In the past, the Tang Dynasty divided everything to protect the government, and they all used the locals, even if they surrendered, it was not a big deal, but it was just to change the names, and the head was still us, and now, the Tang Dynasty is completely going to divide us."

"Those are all rumors, and they didn't spread like this last time, and they didn't turn out to be. In the past, the Han people ploughed their fields, and we tended our sheep. I'll be like this again.'" "Xi people are cowards, and they have lost the face of your ancestors." The mediators each played fifty big boards, but what they said was equal to not saying it, and it was not that they didn't know these words, but they understood differently, so they quarreled again.

The quarrel was caused by the different attitudes of the tribes towards the Tang Dynasty's dispatch of troops and the expedition to Mobei. And there will be such a difference, all of which is related to Datang's attitude, which is very unsettling.

First of all, Datang sent troops this time, and the reason was very strange. Li Chen condemned the tribes for disregarding the lives of the people and constantly attacking each other, resulting in a continuous fire outside the Saiwai, the displacement of the people, and even the Tang caravan being constantly harassed, so he had to send troops to restore the tranquility of the grassland and fulfill his duties as a khan.

For the grassland peoples, they have the wisdom that they have passed down from their ancestors, and the reason why they didn't take the words of the Tang envoy seriously before was because the Han people would not send troops in order to be taken away from the people and robbed of the caravans that were traded out of the fortress.

As long as they don't attack the Tang Dynasty and don't blatantly oppose the Tang Dynasty, the Tang people usually don't pay attention to them. Because of this, they all shirked the envoys of the Tang Dynasty before. will quarrel, but it is just a pretext, no one at all, or not many people really take the condemnation of the Tang Dynasty Emperor seriously. So, this time Datang sent troops, everyone was beaten, and they really came? Isn't that a joke.

Originally, come on, take a soft soften, send some tribute, say a few good words, and everything is business as usual. It's just that Datang asked this time that all tribes should come to the court. The heads of the tribes are required to come to the court in person, and no representative can be appointed.

For example, Xi has five departments, and in the past, the court meeting was that King Xi himself went to Chang'an, or sent an envoy to represent Xi. It's just that this time it can't be like this, not only King Xi himself is coming, but the leaders of the tribes are also coming in person. That's intriguing.

This alone makes people very uneasy, but it is understandable that this time the Tang Dynasty is the Tian Khan's personal expedition, and the leaders of all tribes will come to see the Tian Khan, which is understandable. It's just that, plus the second half, Li Chen said that if he wants to fulfill his duties and restore the tranquility of the grassland, he has to make people think more.

How to reply? The various ethnic groups on the steppe, and even among the tribes, were not very peaceful in the first place. The Tang army pressed the border, and maybe it could keep peace for a while, but as soon as they left, everything was the nephew playing the lantern, as usual. Could it be that the Tang army wants to be stationed in the grassland, like the Bohai Sea that has been controlled by the Tang Dynasty? Or, simply control the leaders of the various departments, kill them all, and then reassign them by Datang?

The two measures are connected together, and people have to wonder, what are the Tang people going to do? Coupled with the news from the Datang caravan coming and going to the grassland, Datang seems to have made a big move this time, which makes many people unhappy.

The Tang Dynasty seems to be planning to redefine the grasslands. There is news in the caravan that in order to stabilize the situation in the grassland, let the people of the grassland live and work in peace and contentment, and never start a war, this time the Tian Khan wants to completely solve the grassland problem, demarcate the border, and want the tribes to be safe and sound from now on.

They will be reassigned to the territory, and the Tang Dynasty will send Han officials to manage it, and they will not be allowed to move at will in the future, and the tribes will guard their own boundaries and will not cross the border to intrude.

Datang is too lenient, although they accepted the canonization of Datang in the past, Datang generally didn't care about them, but this time, Datang wants to limit the scope of their lives, which makes it difficult to accept. That's why everyone didn't agree.

Li Chen's things to several confined states, they all saw it, all of them were registered, had to pay taxes, and served in the army, and accepted the management of Han officials, if these were bearable, the most unbearable thing for them was that a tribal leader would lose control over the people under his rule, and everyone would be reduced to the same as ordinary people.

It's absolutely unbearable, losing their rights, how they live their lives, how they enjoy their food, and power, life and death, and the feeling of winning. Rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow, the mentality is not only Han people.

However, after all, this news has not been confirmed, the last time I heard this news, plus I wanted to go to Datang to grab a handful, they sent troops, and they were taught a bad lesson. Although this time it was the Tang Dynasty that sent troops to the outside world, these people who have been taught a lesson have not yet healed their wounds.

This makes people very contradictory, should they go or not? Xi De's mentality is easy to understand, they don't want to fight with Datang, they want to continue to obey Datang's rule as before, they are closest to Datang, and they have been taught the worst, they have been taught countless times by Datang in history, and they really don't want to do it again.

But they have also been taught a lesson, but the Khitan people are thousands of unwilling, and Yelan is unwilling, and always wants to return to Yicheng. In other words, he really wanted to drag the others into the water, and tried his best to persuade them to form a coalition again. To confront Datang to the end, we want to fall the frieze, and everyone will pour the frieze together.

Led by these two sides, the other tribes are ambiguous. Don't know what to do. To be honest, the treatment of those confined states is very attractive, those people are living very well, in order to win the hearts of the people, the construction of the confined state has been at the forefront, building water conservancy, guiding farming and animal husbandry, medical care and education, Li Chen is slightly biased towards the state that was restructured from the confined state.

The treatment they have received has made many leaders very envious, whether it is the culture of the Tang Dynasty or the life that is better than the applause, it has made many people very popular.

However, more leaders are unwilling to give up their status, anyway, their identity is there. Even if the life is poor, it is better than ordinary herdsmen.

Therefore, in the end of the debate, it was the Khitans who had the upper hand. They are determined to resist to the end, and they are unwilling to get Ru Xi, so they have to cooperate with them, otherwise others may unite to deal with Xi first under the instigation of the Khitan.

"Grandfather, what the hell are they arguing about?" , Outside the place where the high-level arguments of the various tribes are held, there are many tribe leaders on the grassland, because this time the Tang Dynasty designated that the tribes should meet each other, in order to prevent them from running to the Tang Dynasty without permission, the leaders of the tribes were brought together, and they had to monitor each other, and there was no one less.

Can't go, doesn't mean you can't connect with each other, discuss, people gathered around the venue, a cold bystander behind the old man, a child asked in a whisper.

"They are arguing, what are they going to do to Datang?" "What to do?" , the child was confused, "Tang Bing is here, let's go and welcome it, the candy given by those soldiers is delicious." "If you have to pay taxes and can't graze yet, can you stand it?" The grandfather shook his head, he said to such a young child what is the use of this, who knows that the child said happily, "Very good, I can't graze, I can go to school, go to school and learn things, when the time comes, I will go to Chang'an, where to find a job."

"Grandfather, let's go to Chang'an, I heard that Chang'an is very lively, and there are a lot of people." "People won't let us go." The old man said helplessly, "Why don't you let us go? Doesn't it mean that the Han people and we Xi people are all brothers, and they are all made by Nuwa? It's just that the place where you live is different.'"

One sentence made the old man's heart feel uncomfortable, but he was unable to answer, and the child had to talk to children, but he told the truth, but no one could understand these heads.

He watched the battle of these leaders from a distance, and felt that few of these leaders understood the current situation, and this argument was meaningless.

Whoever comes to this meeting, no matter how big or small, is a big person. Look at them, the clothes they wear are from Datang, the spirits they drink come from Datang, the jewelry they wear is also from Datang, and the cups that fly are also from Datang.

Everything comes from Datang, these leaders, no matter how they resist, but they all have more or less things from Datang, and even in life. Resist Datang, how can they resist?

If it's just like this, only the head person is not adaptable, maybe it's not a big problem. The bigger problem is that Datang has to spread its thoughts, and children have children's words, which is only one aspect, and many people are very envious of Datang's life, Datang's clothing, lifestyle, and eating habits.

In the past, they had no way, no ability, and no way to learn, and their biggest hope was to go to Datang to grab a hand. Over the years, however, things have changed.

The influx of various commodities in Datang, the life of herdsmen on the grassland has improved a lot, and the closer they get to Datang, the better their life will be. In the past, they were just envious, but now they have a way to improve their lives through their own hands, don't look at the low-level herdsmen, they may not be as luxurious as those leaders, everything comes from the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, they are inseparable from Datang, iron pots, tea, cloth, coarse grains for winter, and even Datang's veterinarians, all of which have benefited those herdsmen a lot.

He heard a sentence from the Tang people and felt that it was very reasonable, the Tang people said that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Once they turn their backs on Datang, their lives will be even more difficult than before, these leaders are fine, and they are not used to being ordinary herdsmen.

He could almost predict that once he rebelled from the Tang Dynasty, the entire tribes, and even all the grassland tribes, would be divided, and some people would be willing to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty, in order to live a better life, they would rather deviate from the original tribe, anyway, without the tribe, it would not be worse than before.

These leaders, no one understood this, and quarreled in vain. Even, the capitulation faction did not really see through this, but because they were already in front of the Tang army, they were bleeding from each other, they felt that there was no hope of victory, and they were worried that Tian Khan would have means and was lucky, so they wanted to surrender.

(It's time to think that the tribe has to stay.) The old man bowed his head and sighed silently, thinking so.
