Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Chronicle of the Expedition to the Prairie

Li Yunqing listened to the man's words, and the smile on his face became a little brighter, there is indeed a sun on the grassland that wants to rise. He was not surprised by this, and there was not much anger or turmoil in his heart. When the black song was killed, he never thought that the grassland would be peaceful forever. Even if Hei Ge dies, a new hero will appear in this closest place to the sky. There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, how can the heroes of the world be willing to be lonely in obscurity?

Perhaps in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there will be no forces that rebel against the rule of Li Yunqing and the Li royal family. As long as the emperor is wise enough, the hinterland of the Central Plains and the interior of Daqian will be peaceful forever, and there is nothing to doubt about this. Even in the old land of Bingao, Li Yunqing was not worried that there would be too many and too dangerous threats. What the people of that place crave most is a peaceful life, and what they want in their bones is to live their lives well, and they are very content if they eat and drink without worrying about clothes and clothing, in other words, they are not aggressive in their bones.

But the grassland people are an exception, which Li Yunqing has always been clear. The boundlessness of the grassland, the wildness that shaped the character of this nation. They have wolf nature in their bodies, they are brave, they like to solve problems in the simplest way, and they respect heroes! All this is destined to be a place where heroes are created, and a place that is not willing to be lonely.

In fact, in the 10,000-year imperial history of this continent, the northern grasslands have never been truly conquered. Even in the previous dynasty, when the Dahong Dynasty was at its strongest, the grassland was only nominally under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Imperial Court, but in fact, even this nominal attribution was very weak, and it could even be said to be fake! Because every year the grassland will worship the court of Dahong, the son of heaven of Dahong. Every time they went to Beijing to worship, although they would bring things such as cattle, sheep or furs, the things that the imperial court rewarded them often exceeded several times. That is, they are nominally here to pay tribute, but in fact they are here to receive silver or gifts.

Not only that, they even have their own khans, they have their own rulers, their khans even have more real power than the princes of Daqian, they hold the highest power in the steppe, the appointment and dismissal of officials, the final trial of sinners and crimes, and even the determination of capital crimes, are all within the authority of their khans.

Until the establishment of the Great Qian, after Taizu Li Shanhe pacified the Central Plains, the millions of troops took advantage of the murderous spirit directly into the grassland, killed the Khan Mondo on the grassland at that time, and the grassland surrendered to the soldiers of the Great Qian, so that the grassland departments were divided again, and the Central Plains Dynasty further increased its control over the grassland, which was really the northern grassland under the king. The emperor of the Central Plains even sat on the throne of the steppe khan, and in order to highlight the greatness and dignity of the emperor of the Central Plains, the title of Tian Khan appeared.

Since then, the grassland has been peaceful for more than 40 years, that is, the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao. However, the lull often doesn't last long. Taizu died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the grassland began to be restless again. But fortunately, Emperor Taizongren was not a soft persimmon, and he strangled the disaster in the cradle in time. Even if it was not dealt with too thoroughly at that time, at least there was no chaos in the grassland of the Xingye Dynasty, and it was precisely because Emperor Taizong Li Hongyuan inherited the policy of Taizu Li Shanhe very well, and it was highly praised in the history books. However, it is said that the sun's rays cannot shine everywhere in the blazing heat, that is, in the Xingye Dynasty, the grassland eagle tribe gradually grew. In the end, there was the war in the early years of Longwu to pacify the grassland, and there was a good story of Emperor Longwu's first battle.

After that battle, the whole Daqian cheered, but it was Li Yunqing who was in the calmest mood. He was unfazed, because he knew that he had just killed a hero on the prairie, and that was it. The grassland may be too peaceful, and it will be too peaceful for a long time. But one day there will be a time when a character like Hei Ge will appear again, and then a new contradiction will appear again, and they will once again challenge the imperial authority of Emperor Daqian.

Li Yunqing clearly knew that it was very difficult to completely solve the grassland problem, but the plan in his heart was to solve the grassland problem once and for all. This is an extremely long process, and it is not by force, but by the culture of the great cadres to completely assimilate the grasslands, and even if it cannot be assimilated, it is necessary to integrate the culture of the great cadres into the culture of the grasslands and establish a unified national consciousness. Only when the people of the grassland have the idea of one family in the world, then the crisis in the northern grasslands of Daqian can be completely solved.

Since this is a long process, there will definitely be people who will come out to resist in this long process. Therefore, all this was expected by Li Yunqing. Before recovering his memory, he might have felt that the appearance of Heige's orphan was a crisis for Daqian, but now that he didn't take this matter to heart at all, what was there to worry about what was bound to happen?

Seeing that Li Yunqing fell into deep thought, the man laughed and said, "Brother, you don't need to be worried, although we people on the grassland are eager for a free and easy life, what we need more is a stable life." Emperor Taizu of Daqian said that the world is one family, and in order to let the people on the grassland live a stable life, Taizu also specially sent many people to help the grassland increase production. The life of the steppe people is getting better and better day by day, we ordinary people are willing to be the people of the Great Qian, and not many people are willing to follow those so-called heroes to resist the rule of the Great Qiandi, so you don't have to worry, this world will not be chaotic. ”

Li Yunqing nodded when he heard this, he naturally believed this. Zhuoma's sons all want to be officials of the imperial court, which shows that Li Yunqing's national integration strategy is correct, and has achieved remarkable results, and the grassland people's recognition of the Central Plains Dynasty is already very high, which Li Yunqing is happy to see, he believes that only a small part of the so-called heroes want to be heroes.

But I heard Li Yunqing say: "Brother, I'm not worried, both we and the imperial court are willing to believe that the people of the grassland are eager for a peaceful life in the world." Emperor Daqian and his soldiers will protect the kind grassland people. Even if someone commits rebellion against the imperial court and challenges the majesty of the emperor, you must believe that my soldiers are capable of defeating all enemies and defending the world. Li Yunqing, a soldier against Yi Daqian, naturally has absolute confidence, and he believes that his soldiers are invincible in the world.

Hearing this, the man nodded again and again, and said in a loud voice: "Of course I know this, although the soldiers in the Central Plains do not look as strong as the grassland children, their skills are very powerful. Thousands of troops and horses rushed down like a great river, and there was only an unstoppable might. I heard that Emperor Daqian relied on these soldiers to win countless wars, and even subdued those with high noses and big eyes! The man's eyes were full of reverence when he spoke, and he had already regarded the soldiers of Daqian as people who could protect him.

Zhuoma's son looked at Li Yunqing and asked: "I hope to take the test for Daqian's martial arts, I want to be a general, a soldier to defend this empire with my own hands, brother, do you think Emperor Daqian will agree?" Will he let the steppes into his army? ”
