Send people to pacify the southwestern barbarians
"What Li Xiang said is very true, the southwest is in the wilderness, and the labor expedition is not the best policy, God has the virtue of a good life, or do less killing, and accumulate more yin virtue!"
Su Wei stood up and echoed Li Dezhao.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the ......"
The civil officials stood up one after another to support Li Dezhao and Su Wei, and they didn't want to make a big move for the sake of a little suspicion.
Every time there is a war, it costs a lot of money and food, how many soldiers will be lost on the labor expedition, and there is not much oil and water to be fished on the southwest barbarian.
It really doesn't have to go through a lot of effort, not to mention wasting manpower and material resources, and always beware of the intrusion of the remnants of the southwest barbarians, which is not beneficial to Datang.
If you appease the southwestern barbarians, not only will it not cost a single soldier, but you can also get these small countries to be attached to them, and let them pay tribute every year, wouldn't it be more fragrant!
"Sage, the minister thinks that it is just appeasement, and it may not make the southwest barbarians obedient, and the necessary demonstration will be more effective than simple appeasement!"
Xu Da stood up and made a different suggestion.
If you blindly tolerate it, the other party will not be polite to you, but will feel that you are weak and bulliful, especially now when the other party has bad signs, you should show your muscles to the other party.
Only by combining grace and power can the southwest man be truly obedient and dare not have the slightest evil thoughts.
"The general is right, the Tang Dynasty is benevolent and righteous to the southwest barbarians, but the southwest barbarians will think that we are weak, and only by showing martial arts can we deter the southwest barbarians."
The generals agreed with Xu Da's suggestion, if they could subdue the barbarians just by talking about it, what else did they want these generals to do? What do you need the army for?
With the combat power of Yushi, just by spitting stars, he can smoke the seven orifices that the barbarians say, and be angry to death.
Pity!
The barbarians don't eat the literati at all.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the ......"
The generals all support Xu Da's point of view, whether they fight or not, they must show their fangs to the barbarians, and let the barbarians know that the Datang is not easy to mess with.
"Ridiculous, my Datang is a country of etiquette, how can I be like a barbarian who can only be rude, and should know it with reason, move it with affection, and let them understand it......"
For the general's proposal, the civilian official was very dissatisfied, showing his muscles to the barbarians, how much would it cost, and what else could a group of martial artists do besides fighting and killing?
Do you know how much Datang pays every year? Do you know how much money and food is spent on armaments every year?
I don't understand anything, I know every day that I want to give the barbarian a good look, no matter how hard his fists are, can he eat it?
For the demolition of civilian officials, the military generals naturally can't get used to them, the papers are taken, and the military generals are not much worse than the civilian officials, and there are many Confucian generals who abandon their pens and follow the Rong among the military generals.
The two sides quarreled inextricably, Li Jing was quarreled with a big head, can't he talk about one thing calmly?
The two sides have to be happy when they are afraid of each other, and the court will be in a miasma, just like the vegetable market!
"Shut up!"
Li Jing shouted angrily, full of anger, and his voice echoed above the main hall, and the ministers immediately closed their mouths.
Seeing the furious Li Jing, the ministers were sitting precariously, not daring to make a little more noise.
"Did I make you quarrel? Above the court, what kind of noisy and noisy thing has become!"
"I hope you can come up with a workable plan, instead of letting you quarrel here......"
Li Jing angrily scolded the ministers, don't quarrel for a long time every time there is a little thing.
These civil officials, don't look at what they shout about the state of etiquette, benevolence, righteousness and morality, you can't shout and kill the barbarians, you have to educate them and so on.
In fact, it is a wild land, there is no oil and water to fish, and it is necessary to invest resources to govern the wild land, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to let them attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year.
If there is a lot of oil and water to be fished in the barbarian place, the first to shout that they want to occupy the other party must be these civilian officials, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they will support the use of troops against the barbarians.
If after occupying the territory of the barbarians, the interests belong to them, they will even go into battle in person, even if they can't defeat the barbarians, they will pay money and food, and recruit a large army to attack the barbarian land.
For the sake of profit, these people can not even want face, let alone some money.
"The minister thinks that he should still send someone to pacify the southwest barbarians, if he can, he can't use troops, try not to use troops!"
Li Dezhao said.
"The minister still thinks that he should show the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers to the barbarians, so as to deter the barbarians with bad intentions."
Xu Da still insists on his own ideas.
"Then send the superintendent Pei Huaigu to appease the Southwest Barbarians and show the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty to the Southwest Barbarians!"
In order to prevent them from continuing to quarrel, Li Jing decided to send the Overseer Imperial History to pacify the Southwest Barbarians.
Smack, smack, smack......
When the civil officials heard the great joy, they held the wat board in their right hand and slapped the palm of their left hand, making a sound of applause, and they were extremely supportive of the saint's decision.
Li Jing looked at the civil official with a high-spirited look, and couldn't help but sneer:
"In order to prevent the southwestern barbarians from plotting against each other, the Ministry of War immediately issued an official document ordering the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate and the Zhennan Metropolitan Protectorate to conduct military training!"
"In case of emergency, when Pei Huaigu appeases the southwest barbarians, deter Xiaoxiao and escort Pei Huaigu!"
Li Jing finally decided to use both grace and power, which can not only show the benevolence of Datang, but also show the strength of Datang!
In this way, there must be no small barbarian country that dares to test the strength of the Tang Army like that!
"Also, send an edict to the Zhennan Governor's Mansion and let them make every effort to exterminate the remnants of the Linyi Kingdom entrenched in Zhennan Mansion."
Li Jing is determined to completely eradicate this time, and the remnants of the Linyi Kingdom entrenched in Zhennan Mansion can no longer tolerate them to make waves!
This matter is completely settled.
After the minister played some inconsequential things, he announced his retreat from the dynasty!
……
In the mansion of the ten kings, Li Ying, the king of Xu, was discussing with the officials of the palace how to thank the emperor.
"His Royal Highness King Xu, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to give the saint the title of honor to praise the merits of the saint!"
Wang Fu Changshi suggested.
"Give the imperial brother a honorific title, so what honorific title should be given?"
Li Ying was also a little moved, his great-grandfather, Emperor Gaozong, once gave himself the honorific title "Emperor"!
Since he wants to give the imperial brother the honorific title, he must not be so casual, and he must show his loyalty.
"The title is the Emperor of Honggong Shengde Shenwu!"
Wang Fu Changshi said.
"Emperor Shenwu of Honggong Shengde, good! Wonderful! Just use this honorific name!"
Li Ying stroked her palms and was overjoyed.
Honggong: Carry forward the great deeds of the saints!
Holiness: Supreme Morality!
This is to say that Li Jing's imperial virtue is supreme, and such a great feat needs to be carried forward and let the thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty know.
"Would the Imperial Brother like such an honorific title?"
Li Ying asked.
"The saint will definitely like it, Your Highness, let's hurry up and play the fold!"
The palace governor Shi urged.
