The grassland tribe is a nomadic people, its cultural concept is that the living customs and the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains have always been very different, since ancient times there have been constant conflicts, never stop when - whenever the Central Plains is strong, will send troops to conscript the grassland tribes, and whenever the Central Plains is in decline, the grassland tribes will invade the Central Plains, for the Central Plains regime, the border trouble is always a headache, that is, as strong as the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably deal with the disturbance of the grassland people, even if the Han Wu Emperor completely defeated the Xiongnu Empire, it will not help, As far as Li Zhen knows, it was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations that this matter could not be completely resolved.

For nomadic civilization, plunder is the foundation of their survival, which is of course caused by the hardships of nomadic life in the grassland, however, the lack of basic moral concepts is the root cause of the predatory nature of the nomadic people, but it is also this predatory nature that emerges from the bones, which makes the combat effectiveness of the nomads extremely strong. In later generations, Meng Yuan's sweep across the Eurasian continent was a concrete manifestation of this wolf nature after it developed to the extreme.

The Central Plains farming civilization has never found a good way to deal with the nomadic civilization of the grassland, in addition to fighting is to pull, as for fighting, it is needless to say, strong Qin, strong Han, strong Tang are mainly based on fighting, supplemented by pulling - when the strength is insufficient, it is harmony, when the strength is enough, it is to sweep the grassland, even if the Qing Dynasty, which was transformed by the nomads in later generations, has never found a good way to deal with the Mongolian tribes that are also nomads, in addition to wantonly crowning the king, the Mongolian tribes into countless small tribes, And then add that there are actually no very good moves outside of harmony, this series of various historical facts, as a traverser, Li Zhen naturally knows in his heart, but how to deal with the wolf-like grassland people, although Li Zhen has some ideas, but he is not too sure.

And pro? Li Zhen's least favorite thing is to be close, not to mention that he has never succeeded since ancient times, it's just an expedient measure, even if it is really effective, Li Zhen will never like it, without him, it is a shame to pin the hope of peace on the weak shoulders of women, how others Li Zhen can't care, but if Li Zhen is the emperor, he will never use his daughter to do such bullshit, besides, it won't be useful, right?

Beat? Of course, it is necessary to fight, for the grassland people, if you don't beat him to be afraid, he will not believe you at all, but beating will not solve the fundamental problem - the wolf is a wolf after all, even if it is beaten, it will never become an obedient dog, even if it stops temporarily, at the end it is just to stop and accumulate strength, and when the time is ripe, it will still bite you.

Completely exterminate the steppe tribes? This can't be done at all, not to mention how such a massacre exterminates humanity, even if it can kill all the grassland tribes close to the Central Plains, it is not a top matter - didn't the strong man destroy the Huns? So what? After all, the grassland is too big, and there are too many tribes scattered on the grassland, even if the stubble is wiped out, there are still nomadic people migrating from other places.

Eclectic? This is a method, Li Shimin is playing this trick at this moment - but all the grassland people who are attached to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will move them inward, give the land and give money and grain, but what is the result? The anti-the-counter is not the same - in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the Turkic nobles of the Beijing division rebelled, tried to assassinate Li Shimin, and then took advantage of the situation to rebel, although under the iron-fisted suppression of Li Shimin, this rebellion was beaten down as soon as it emerged, but the living facts proved one - the wolf is the wolf, and it will not become a dog because of the enclosure, unless all the wolves are scattered and resettled, so that they can intermarry with the dog, maybe after a few generations, the wolf will become a wolf dog, but well, this kind of thing is not so simple, without him, it is easy to enpen the wolf, But it is difficult to separate a pack of wolves, after all, wolves are social animals, and the price of wanting to disperse the wolves is that the wolves will rise up and rebel.

It is not easy to tame the wild wolf of the grassland tribe, at least in the era of cold weapons, or even the initial stage of firearms is an impossible thing, without him, the grassland people are a nation on horseback, regardless of men and women, young and old, on horseback is a warrior, the combat effectiveness is very strong, to agricultural civilization of the warrior to fight with the grassland people, in fact, it is a thankless thing, the only thing that can suppress the grassland people is the era of firearms, especially after the invention of the breech gun, The advantage of the cavalry impact of the steppe people was mostly neutralized, and the steppe civilization embarked on the road of decline, and with the invention of breech guns and machine guns as tanks, the steppe civilization became the most difficult civilization, and it could no longer set off any waves, and completely became the object of arbitrary bullying.

Self-improvement is the fundamental way, this Li Zhen knows in his heart, for gunpowder, firearms Li Zhen may not be as good as those arms experts in later generations, but in his previous life, he didn't know much about this knowledge, aircraft, tanks and other things Li Zhen knows some, but, limited to the current level of production, Li Zhen can't get it out at all, even if it's a prototype, of course, it's not difficult to get out * and even breech guns, guns, if the conditions are ripe, even smokeless gunpowder, breech guns and the like, Li Zhen can also get eight or nine without leaving ten, but what is needed is not only time, technical personnel, but more importantly, timing, if there is no good reason, Li Zhen does not have the courage to play those sharp things, after all, Li Shimin is not so easy to fool, a careless is the end of being beaten into the abyss by the old man, then the fun is great, therefore, although he has been in this dynasty for more than ten years, Li Zhen did not dare to make a move except for sorting out some simple knowledge and secretly teaching it to the orphans taken in by the "Yan Ji Firm", Of course, the foundation has been laid, and it is really fast to move, isn't it?

As for how to look at the people of the grassland, Li Zhen has never really thought about it seriously - this era is different from the later generations from which Li Zhen came, the concept of territory and national boundaries is actually very vague, even if the territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, but it is really necessary to say clearly where is the land of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can say it, even Li Shimin himself is not clear, of course, Li Shimin is respected as the Khan of the Heavens, whether it is the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty or the vast prairie, it can be regarded as the boundary of the Tang Dynasty, Whether it is the grassland tribe or the people of the Central Plains, they can be regarded as the people of the Tang Dynasty, but the territory actually controlled by the Tang Dynasty is not too big, except for the Central Plains, the other areas are independent or semi-independent, so Li Zhen really didn't think much about the people of the grassland, and listened to Li Long ask about this matter, which really made Li Zhen a little confused for a while.

Headache, real headache, facing this huge problem, Li Zhen had a headache, and repeatedly thought about the key points, but never found the answer - what are you talking about? Say that if it is not my race, its heart will be different? Hey, Li Zhen is not a person of the times at all, he knows very well that those grassland people are all Chinese in the end, there is no reason to exclude them, saying that they are his own people? But at present, the grassland people are not the people of the Tang Dynasty, at least not yet, so they can't talk nonsense with their eyes open.

Dog, where did this Li Long come from? It's a good problem to annoy Lao Tzu, it's really fucking inauthentic! Li Zhen glanced at Li Long, who was standing on the side with a smile to himself, and suddenly found that this guy's body was very clean, and there was no trace of water, and he was stunned for a moment - he stood in the snow all night, but he was in good spirits, not to mention, even his body was clean and tidy, this person's internal strength should not be underestimated, and he said that he was not as good as himself, but it was also commendable, coupled with his good speech, he was really a talent! Li Zhen's heart for talent rose, and when he saw this person's face slightly dark, he already understood that this person must be from the grassland, but he still had some doubts in his heart - this person speaks fluent official dialect, which is completely the accent of Chang'an, and a grassland person can speak Chang'an official dialect, unless this person has stayed in Chang'an, but Li Zhen has never heard of such outstanding talents in Chang'an.

Anyway, I can say whatever I think, and let's see how this kid reacts! Li Zhen narrowed his eyes, smiled and said: "Sir, this question is too big, this king can only answer reluctantly, hmm, this king thinks that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, what does Mr. think?" ”

Li Long's face immediately turned pale, he was silent for a long time, and lowered his head and asked, "Could it be that the prince's intention is to use force to pacify the grassland and do Han martial arts?" ”

Ha, sure enough, I guessed it, this kid is really from the grassland, damn, interesting, hey, if such characters can't be taken for their own use, then they can only be removed. Li Zhen has moved the murderous intention in his heart, but he has never said anything, and said with a smile indifferently: "Otherwise, one is that this king is just a prince, and has no right to decide, and second, even if this king can have the right to decide, this king does not disdain to learn the massacre policy of the Han Dynasty to destroy the Huns, in the eyes of this king, the grassland tribes respect my father and the emperor as the heavenly khan, then even if it is my people of the Tang Dynasty, of course, those who are unruly and unruly do not use force to calm down, but the rest only need to obey, it is the people of my Tang Dynasty, why do you need to slaughter it." ”

Li Long was not moved by what Li Zhen said, but just asked with a frown: "Assuming that the prince has the right to decide, what should happen after pacifying the grassland?" ”

Li Zhen had already thought through this question when he pondered before his head, but he didn't hide it at this time, and said with a smile: "This king has said, this matter is not up to this king, but well, if this king can decide, there will be no country outside the Saiwai, it can only be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the tribes will be the people of my Tang Dynasty, enjoy all the rights of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally should also bear all the obligations of the people of the Tang Dynasty. All ministries are not allowed to kill or annex each other, and all disputes have their own rulings set up by the imperial court, and those who violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty will not be pardoned! ”
