982. Divide the spoils after the war
Li Shimin entered the palace of the king of Goguryeo, and this will also be Li Shimin's palace. As for the king of Goguryeo, she can only move out, and she will even have to move to Chang'an in a short time. This palace will be a monument to history, or simply a garbage dump that has been swept away. And then, the war is almost over, and the next thing is not necessarily more worry-free than the war, because there are some more important things after the war, especially this multinational joint operation, so it is even more troublesome. If you don't deal with these troubles, the consequences will be very severe.
"Your Majesty, our Xi and Shen tribes want to return to the territory where we have lived for generations, I think the emperor should return it to us! The Goguryeo people occupy our territory, and we can't survive, so we especially ask Datang to call the shots for us! The leader of the Xi clan said.
And Li Shimin smiled and said: "Wait a minute, after we negotiate the contract with Silla, we will deal with your affairs immediately!" ”
Anyway, in Li Shimin's eyes, the Xi clan and the Yan clan are going to be cleaned up, so Li Shimin doesn't plan to talk nonsense with them. Because the territory they want to go to is the hometown of the Han Dynasty that belongs to the Central Plains, so if they are allowed to occupy it, won't Datang come out this time for nothing? Therefore, the Xi and the Taya tribe were either destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, or they accepted the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and as for the third way, they rushed to the more northern region, that is, the forests in the area of the Great Xing'an Mountains to become monkeys. However, Li Shimin thinks that these Xi people and the Yan tribe should not be monkeys, after all, after becoming humans, they will not be willing to be animals, so they will not be willing. Then the only way to do that is to perish or to remain as a submissive people.
"Your Majesty, we Silla have also contributed a lot to this war, and we should also gain our benefits." Silla Queen Kindman said.
Although Silla sent troops relatively late this time, it was considered to have sent troops anyway. Therefore, it should be normal for Silla to ask for benefits, but how much benefit can be shared. This is worth studying. Next, the matter of discussing the division of interests should be mainly with Silla.
According to the previously discussed strategy for Silla, Datang would not destroy Silla, after all, Datang had no excuse to take the initiative to attack Silla. In addition, the destruction of Goguryeo this time is actually a taboo. The Central Plains Dynasty has always let the surrounding small countries call them ministers and pay tribute, and will not destroy them. The main reason for this is actually that the Central Plains Dynasty has not been able to have much strength to conquer them, and if they are destroyed casually, then they will also be wary of the Central Plains.
For these vassal states, in fact, the Central Plains Dynasty will let them be vassals even if they do not have the strength to conquer. Once the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, it will also find a reason to attack them and swallow their land. As for the reason, in fact, this is very convenient, there is no need to find more at all, and there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. And this can be seen from the Qin, Qin and Han dynasties, and the countries facing South Vietnam are also the same. The Kingdom of Nanyue was also a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, but it was later destroyed. As for the Liaodong generation, it was actually a country called Weiman Joseon. They also served as vassals of the Han Dynasty. However, from the monarch to the people, all of them were Han Chinese, so they were not the same as those places in Goguryeo in the south. But later, when the Han Dynasty became stronger, it also took advantage of the situation to destroy this former vassal country.
So these subject states. They are all lambs to be slaughtered, but it depends on when the Central Plains Dynasty swallows them. And this task has always been completed by generations of Central Plains Dynasty, and it is only in this way that the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty can gradually expand.
But though, everyone plays like this. But you can't swallow too many countries at once. It's enough to swallow one at a time, but it's a long time before you want to swallow it again. After all, if there are too many annexes at once, it will irritate them. Let them collude against themselves. Therefore, Silla must be left behind this time, and if Silla is destroyed together, then I am afraid that those subject countries will also be stimulated too much, so that they may also unite to defend the Central Plains Dynasty, and they will face a situation where they are enemies on all sides. Therefore, it is certain that a part of the benefits will be given to Silla. But how to divide it and how much it depends on Datang's means.
"Your Majesty, all kinds of wealth seized from Goguryeo belong to our Tang Dynasty, there is no problem with this, right?" Jingwen asked.
And Kindman also said: "I can agree with this, we Silla are not here for these riches. ”
"Oops, this Silla has a lot of appetite!" Jing Wen said secretly in his heart.
Jingwen just wanted to test the appetite of this Silla, that is, Jingwen deliberately said that he wanted to monopolize the wealth seized by Goguryeo, and Silla actually agreed. And although Silla didn't really contribute much, they should be able to get a part of the hard work! But now the Queen of Silla actually promised not to pay this hard money, there are only two possibilities. One possibility is that Silla tacitly acquiesced to working for nothing this time, so don't work hard. And the second type, that is, they have a greater appetite, and definitely not just want some money to get away.
But Jingwen can think with his ass, will Silla be a person who works for nothing? Since this Jindeman can be the head of a country as a woman, he is definitely not an easy person to dismiss. So I'm afraid she wants more, definitely more than just some wealth can solve. She now took the initiative to say that she didn't want wealth, but what she meant was to let Jingwen give them another part of the benefits, maybe this part of the benefits could not be measured by money at all. Jindeman took the initiative to say that he didn't want wealth, so it seemed that Datang owed them, and it would be difficult for Datang to continue to chase and fight elsewhere.
And Jingwen immediately guessed what this part of the interests was, after all, people's appetite is not small. And this time, the strategic goal of the Tang Dynasty is to return to the four counties of Liaodong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so the hometown of the four counties of Liaodong must not be discarded. If the four counties of Liaodong can't come back, then this time they really attacked Goguryeo in vain.
"Damn, this woman is not ordinary, and she accidentally fell into his way for a while. Hunting eagles all day long, he was pecked in the eye by a sparrow. It seems that you have to be careful of this woman, who has been blinded by her for the past few days, thinking that she is just an ordinary woman. Now it seems that she can be the monarch as a woman, not a fluke! Jing Wen thought to himself. (To be continued......)
