Chapter 42 Governance of Tianzhu

"What? Massacre of the city? Yang Siqiao slaughtered the city? Zhang Shuo rushed over, and after learning the news of Yang Siqiao's massacre, he was dumbfounded.

Needless to say, the courage of Zhang said is too scary, but the slaughter of the city is too scary, even with the courage of Zhang said, it is also terrifying.

"Did he really slaughter the city? Prince, you didn't lie to me, did you? Zhang said that he didn't believe it.

Li Longji was a little speechless, shook his head, and said, "I didn't expect that Yang Siqiao would dare to slaughter the city." I want to take Nan Tianzhu Liwei, I just want to slaughter the army, I didn't think about slaughtering the city, he dared to do it, it's really a good dog's guts. ”

Tu Jun, Li Longji definitely dares to do it. Slaughtering the city, Li Longji may not dare to do it, because the psychological burden is too great.

Tu Jun said that they were soldiers, they were fighting, and there was nothing to be afraid of killing them.

The slaughter of the city is the same, killing the unarmed people, even if it is the people of the enemy country, there will also be a heavy psychological burden. Only those who are particularly fierce and brutal would dare to do this.

"How dare he slaughter the city?" Zhang Shuo was stunned.

Asking himself, Zhang said that he would not dare to give the order to slaughter the city.

"Zhang said, how do you say this matter should be handled?" Li Longji's brows furrowed.

"Prince, the slaughter of the city is scary to say, and it may not be a wonderful method." Zhang Shuo took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and thought: "Since we marched into Tianzhu, it has been too smooth and we have not been able to establish authority. ”

"Hmm." Li Longji nodded and said, "It depends on the reaction from all over Tianzhu after this matter spreads." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately sent the latest military report.

Li Longji took a look. The mouth is wide open. I was amazed for a while.

"Prince. What's the matter? Zhang asked hurriedly.

"What else can happen, the impact of Yang Siqiao's slaughter of the city is coming." Li Longji handed the military newspaper to Zhang and said, "At the moment, it seems that it is not bad. Originally, there were still some people who were resisting sporadically, but when they heard about it, they dispersed in a hurry, and they didn't dare to make trouble anymore. ”

The Tang army captured Tianzhu, which was a preliminary control. It will take some time to fully control zhì. There are still sporadic resistances in many places. The news of Yang Simiao's massacre spread, and these forces no longer dared to be enemies of the Tang army, and they scattered.

"Oh, there's this good thing?" Zhang Shuo took the military newspaper and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Tianzhu people are still afraid of being ruthless." Xue Zhi's slaughter army, although it has a good deterrent effect on the Tianzhu people, is far inferior to Yang Simiao's slaughter of the city. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "The Eastern Governor of Great Food, Yusufu, is a ruthless man, fierce and brutal. Murderous, he could slaughter 120,000 people at once in Khorasan. Now it's okay, Datang also has a ruthless person, and Yousufu has an opponent. Prince, in the war with the Great Food, you must send Yang Siqiao over. When he meets Yusuf, a ruthless man, it will be very brilliant. ”

What Yusuf did in Khorasan had already been inquired about by the Nirvana Master, and Li Longji and they were naturally clear.

"Makes sense, too." Li Longji nodded and said, "Ruthless people have to be ruthless." Yousufu is fierce and brutal, and has a thirst for killing, when he encounters a ruthless man like Yang Siqiao, what other tricks can he have? ”

"Huh." Zhang said that he was quite expectant, and let out a burst of laughter.

"However, it is better to do less to slaughter the city. Do it once in a while, and it can still have a good deterrent effect. If we do too much, it will arouse hatred and make the people of Tianzhu hate us. After Rong Yang Siqiao comes back, I will reprimand him well. Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said sternly.

"It should." Zhang said that he also felt that Yang Siqiao should be beaten.

"Nan Tianzhu has been destroyed, Tianzhu has been conquered by us, the next thing is the matter of governance, you came just in time, let's discuss it well." Li Longji beckoned Zhang Shuo to sit down.

Zhang said and sat down and said: "Prince, Tianzhu is no better than Tubo, the territory is wider, there are more people, and there are more affairs to be dealt with, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it in a short period of time." In my opinion, Song Jing should be transferred, and with his help, this matter will be much easier. ”

Tibet is very small, and the population is small, so there are not too many government affairs to deal with. That's it, Li Longji and they are also tired enough. And Tianzhu's territory is much larger than that of Tubo, the population is much larger, and there are more official affairs to deal with, if Song Jing is not transferred, relying on Li Longji and Zhang Shuo alone, they will be exhausted.

"That's very good." Li Longji greatly agreed, and said: "I want to take advantage of the opportunity to report to my father and ask my father to send more officials to Tianzhu." ”

If you want to completely control Tianzhu, you must have a large number of officials coming, otherwise, it will be impossible to do it, which is inevitable.

"Prince, we have to negotiate a charter first, and after Rong Songjing arrives, he only needs to make slight modifications, and he can dispose of it." Zhang said that he said.

"Not bad." Li Longji glanced at Zhang appreciatively and said.

Zhang said that he deserved to be a great talent, and he thought about everything.

Song Jing came from Tubo and needed some time. Li Longji and the others can take this opportunity to negotiate a charter and come up with a general direction. As soon as Song Jing arrived, he only needed a little sum to implement it.

"Zhang said, you must have thought it through, tell me, how should we govern Tianzhu?" Li Longji said.

"I didn't dare to say it after much thought, just a little thought. If there is anything missing, please correct the prince. As soon as Zhang Shuo's opening remarks were finished, he went straight to the topic and said: "Tianzhu has a vast territory, and it is too far away from Datang, and it is difficult and not feasible for Datang to implement the county system. According to my intentions, it is still up to the Tianzhu people to govern the Tianzhu people. ”

"You mean to rule the razor?" Li Longji summed it up.

"That's what it means." Zhang Shuo nodded and said, "Use the Tianzhu people to govern the Tianzhu people, and we Datang only need to control these Tianzhu people." ”

This is the same approach that the British did in India, and it was by virtue of which the British ruled India for four centuries.

Zhang said that he was able to propose this method, and his intelligence was very remarkable.

"Tell me more." Li Longji said.

"The crown prince, according to my wishes, can still set up a king in Tianzhu. With the false name of the king, it is much more convenient to do things. Zhang said that he looked at it very far-reaching and said: "In order to prevent Tianzhu's power from becoming too large." Tianzhu is to be dismembered. We can support a dozen or twenty kings in Tianzhu. ”

Tianzhu has a large territory. If it is only to set up five kings in the east, west, south, north and middle, their strength is not small, and the Tang Dynasty has some difficulty in controlling it. If Tianzhu is dismembered and a dozen or twenty kings are supported, each king has a small amount of land and a small number of people, and it is difficult to cause trouble, it will be much easier for the Tang Dynasty to control zhì.

"It's a good idea. Feasible. Li Longji was immediately approved.

"For the sake of better governance, these kings were divided into different local ministers. We can set up five major blocks, east, west, north, south, and middle, and assign five capable ministers to sit in charge, and they only need to manage the king well. "There are many ways to say that.

This is similar to the "viceroy" introduced by the British in India, where the governor does not directly intervene in specific governance matters, but only needs to manage the king well.

Of course, in order to prevent the king from rebelling, the king is only a fictitious position, in name only, and the real power is in the hands of these ministers. These ministers can manage the staffing arrangements. It was to bypass the king.

The specific management of the personnel is assigned by the minister who sits here, and this trick is quite powerful. These people will definitely bow down to their orders.

"As for the garrison, I thought it was necessary to garrison, but not too much." Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows and said: "Although Datang has many mouths, if a large number of troops are stationed in Tianzhu, it will also be a heavy burden, and it is still necessary to implement the policy of 'governing raze with raze'." We only need to garrison a small number of troops in Tianzhu, and then transfer people from Tibet to garrison Tianzhu. ”

The Tang Dynasty had a large number of people, more than 37 million, and many troops could be recruited. However, it is not possible to garrison Tianzhu in large quantities, because that will make the Tang Dynasty's mobile forces smaller, and it will make the Tang Dynasty a little strategically passive. Moreover, it is also a heavy burden, even with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to be competent.

It is a good idea to gather the Tibetans, train them, arm them, and ask them to garrison Tianzhu.

The Tang Dynasty only needed to garrison a small number of troops in Tianzhu and act as the core. These Tang troops only need to deter the Tubo people, and the Tubo people have to obediently obey the order, and Tianzhu is also under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Another advantage of this is that the Tibetan people will be very happy. Because the Tang Dynasty rewarded military exploits very richly, the Tubo people stationed in Tianzhu would get a good military salary, and the income was much higher than that of grazing in the high mountains and dense forests, and the Tubo people would definitely be happy to do it.

"In addition to this, we have to do one thing, that is, to gather the Tianzhu people, train them, arm them, so that we can conquer the countries of the Western Regions in the future, and we can send them to garrison." Zhang said.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Li Longji lightly high-fived, greatly appreciated, and said, "Zhang said, you came up with a good idea!" Very good idea! ”

Use the Tubo people to guard Tianzhu, and then use the Tianzhu people to guard the countries of the Western Regions, which forms a cycle and is interlocking. The Tang Dynasty only needed to deter the Tubo people at the source to make them bow down.

Not long after Li Longji and Zhang Shuo took out the charter, Song Jing rushed over, and the three of them discussed it a little, listened to Song Jing's suggestions, and made a slight revision, and the program for governing Tianzhu was determined.

Then, there's the question of implementation.

There is no shortage of talented people among the Tianzhu people, and they only need to be selected and let them run, and the Tang people will supervise them in the back. This governance affair proceeded quite smoothly.

Chang'an, Daming Palace.

Li Dan was handling official business, looking focused.

"Your Majesty, Prince Junbao." Jia Mingle came and reported: "The prince has lived up to His Majesty's high expectations and has conquered Tianzhu. Congratulations to Majesty, congratulations to Majesty. ”

"Haha!" Li Dan did not have any doubts this time, but accepted it happily, looked up to the sky, laughed, and said: "Not long after I was reinstated, I conquered Tubo and Tianzhu. Jia Ming, you say, how is my work? ”

"Your Majesty's deeds are about to catch up with Emperor Taizong." Jia Ming was busy making fun.

Li Dan's restoration did not take long to destroy the two countries in a row, this is a great achievement, and he can't help but be happy. Jia Ming's funny words made him doubly happy, and said with a smile: "Catch up with Emperor Taizong? There are still some gaps, although not much, after all, there are still gaps. ”

Tang Taizong's shining emperor, although Li Dan is happy, he will not be arrogant enough to think that he can catch up with Tang Taizong. (To be continued......)
