Chapter 165: Tou Tang Nian Thoughts

Liu Bei regretted it for a while.

I regret leaving my saber outside when I came in.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Bei's gaze wandered around the palace and looked at the wall next to him.

There hangs a decorative ceremonial sword.

Zhang Fei hurriedly jumped up:

"Zilong and I are brothers, and we need to help with cavalry!"

Liu Bei sat down again.

Watching Yide and Zilong get together and mutter, Liu Bei looked at the light curtain again.

What he cares more about is that this strength of Gaochang can tear the earth and claim the country, and it will be passed on for more than 100 years.

This Western Regions, how does it feel so good?

Liu Bei couldn't help but be leisurely fascinated.

……

Yan Lide and Yan Liben's horseshoes listed on the speed light curtain were traced.

"The horseshoe is easy, this horseshoe nail is not easy."

This is Yan Lide's evaluation after taking a closer look.

Even Yan Lide is no stranger to this, isn't this what the people commonly call horse iron shoes.

And as the light curtain said, the people knew that this thing was easy to use, but it was too troublesome.

One is that in the severe cold season, the horse iron shoes are easy to slip when stepping on ice and snow, so that the horse falls and is injured.

The other is the iron nail, which is too expensive for the people to afford, and cheaper for blacksmiths to be unwilling to build.

Therefore, looking at the emperor who was deep in thought, Yan Lide tried to give his own advice:

"Your Majesty, if you want to put this thing in order, you should set up a nailer."

Li Shimin also silently calculated in his heart, and then felt a little smacked.

The horseshoe listed in the light curtain requires at least three nails to be secured, and some even have eight nail holes.

Fitting a squad of 4,000 cavalry with the most rudimentary horseshoe would require almost 50,000 nails, which is not a small amount.

Li Shimin directly opened his mouth to designate the candidate:

"After the light curtain is over, Lide and the pharmacist will stay and talk to me about this iron nail."

Hou Junji next to him was a little injured for a while:

Can you give the protagonist a little respect?

[For Datang, the destruction of Gaochang is just a casual matter, and how to govern it is a problem.

The ministers of the DPRK and China, headed by Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang, believed that it was appropriate to set up Xichangzhou.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, believed that it was appropriate to establish Xizhou.

Xizhou and Xichangzhou, although there is only one word difference between the two, the meanings they represent are completely different.

Because in the Tang Dynasty, if the name of the state was two words, it meant that it was a state of bondage.

Bondage, that is, enveloping control, which is commonly known as Hu autonomy, can listen to the tune and not listen to the propaganda, and has strong autonomy.

The appointment and dismissal of officials, the collection of taxes, and the financial expenditures of the prefecture are all decisions made by the prefecture itself, and it only needs to be reported to the central authorities.

However, if there is only one word in the name of the state, it means that it is a territory directly under the central government of the Tang Dynasty.

The appointment of officials, the collection of taxes, the system and the army were all decided by the central government of the Tang Dynasty.

After arguing for two months, it was not until Hou Junji was arrested and imprisoned that Li Shimin successfully suppressed the opposition and decided on the name Xizhou.

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang are very strange, because controlling the Western Regions with the Bondage Prefecture was a means of the Han Dynasty, and it is an advanced experience that can be followed.

Moreover, Li Shimin was not so resistant to the establishment of the state before.

As for why Erfeng's attitude changed suddenly, it was related to a rebellion case the year before the fall of Gao Changguo. 】

For a while, everyone's eyes converged on Hou Junji.

Even Fang Xuanling, who has always been steady, couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Dare to love Lu Guogong is not the first to rebel?

The rebellion of Li Xiaochang, Luo Yi and others in the first year of Zhenguan can only be regarded as the aftermath of Wudenian.

And Hou Junji doesn't have time to think about it so much for the time being.

"It must be the ministers who do not obey the holy order, and the royal majesty is not strict, but they are to blame."

There is no need to infer that Hou Junji pleaded guilty on the spot.

Anyway, no matter what you commit, these two charges can be trapped.

Li Shimin glanced at Hou Junji and said quietly:

"Later generations said that when you broke Gaochang, you took the lead in plundering the army, and disposed of the nobles of Gaochang on your own initiative."

Sweat crawled all over Hou Junji's forehead:

No wonder what happened to him after returning to Chang'an was so strange!

"The minister is arrogant and violates discipline, this is a crime that he deserves!"

Hou Junji was about to bow down and plead guilty, but his arm was grabbed by Li Shimin:

"When you do do this, it's not too late to make a judgment."

Relieved, Hou Junji hurriedly promised:

"The minister must remember this matter and be vigilant every day!"

Du Ruhui was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his smile if he continued to look at it, so he analyzed:

"The light curtain put it together, saying that everyone abandoned it because of this."

"It can be seen that this rebel is a person who is bound by the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin immediately concluded:

"It must be Turkic!"

In Li Shimin's view, Hu Rendu is the person who gave face to shame as later generations.

And the Turks are really the best in this!

[After Jieli was captured by Li Jing and returned to dance for Erfeng, there were still some little khans left in the Eastern Turks.

Among them, two people stand out:

One is Ashina Sheer, who was supposed to guard the west side of the Eastern Turks, and after Jieli was captured, he fled directly to the Western Regions with his troops, and conquered half of the territory of the Western Turks, calling himself Dubu Khan.

After serving as Khan for two years, Dubu Khan raised a large army to conquer Xue Yantuo to avenge the destruction of the country by the Eastern Turks.

It can only be said that it is very reasonable, I can't beat Datang, I can't beat you?

As a result, he really didn't fight, and after being beaten by Xue Yantuo, Dubu Khan directly realized:

I'm not a fool!

As soon as the so-called vote Tang thought of it, he suddenly felt that the world was wide.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Dubu Khan led his troops to defect to the Tang Dynasty, destroy Gaochang, Pingxi Regions, and fight Goguryeo.

The most important thing is that he also followed the famous general Li Tao to destroy Xue Yantuo and successfully took revenge.

In the end, he worshiped the general and sealed the country, which is another star of the Tang Dynasty. 】

"This is all cloth, but it is a lively mind."

Li Jing commented:

"After the investigation of the remnants of the Eastern Turks, I heard that this person was running west, and I thought that it would definitely be intolerable to the Western Turks."

"I didn't expect ......"

Li Jing shook his head, this person changed from a general of the Eastern Turks to a khan who confronted the Western Turks.

In the end, he became a general in the court, fought in all directions, and became a general and a prince of the Tang Dynasty, with rich life experience.

"The credit of Mao Gong has been settled." Li Jing said with a smile.

Li Shiyun's eyes were shining, he could be regarded as waiting for him, and the protagonist this time was really himself!

Then he excitedly glanced at Su Dingfang, who was hiding his loss:

Young man, you have to respect your seniors, understand?

However, the light curtain said "swinging the three kingdoms and capturing the three kings", this Xue Yantuo is only one, what about the other two?

Li Shimin's face was calm, after all, there were Ren Hu people as generals when the Tang Dynasty was opened, which was not a big deal.

And now as a heavenly khan, he naturally has to take in all the talents who are unwilling to do so, so that they can all be used by Datang.

For a while, Li Shimin pinched his chin and considered:

Do you want to compile the resumes of such generals as what later generations will say?

Shepherd was born, was despised by the tribe, and finally voted for the Tang Dynasty and left a name in history.

Depreciate the barbarism of the Hu people, and worship the openness of the Tang Dynasty.

And the poems that this junior later wrote nonsense are also right.

As soon as he thought of it, he suddenly felt that the world was wide.

Our Datang territory is quite wide.

I am a khan this day, and I am quite broad-minded.

[The other is the Turki Khan.

After Jieli was captured, Tuli was a man who raised troops to join the Tang Dynasty, was the governor of the state, had a house in Chang'an, and lived a very leisurely life.

But there is a person who has a very good opinion, the younger brother of the Turki Khan, Ashina association rate.

He couldn't get used to seeing his brother being drunk all day long and having no ambition as a prairie man, so he reported his brother on the spot for rebellion.

After being found to be falsely accused, the Tuli Khan and Li Shimin were bloody, and even cut off half of the scolding dog, and he was not happy when he landed.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Ashina Association heard the news that Li Shimin moved to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer.

So this man gathered forty old Turkic ministers and announced a plan of rebellion:

That Li Shimin's son Li Zhi will go out of the palace every day to ride a horse, let's lie in ambush on both sides, and when the palace door is wide open, we will rush in and kill Li Shimin!

As soon as Li Shimin died, the Tang Dynasty was in chaos, and we will lead the old Turkic tribe back to the steppe and rebuild the Turkic Khanate!

As a result, the plan began to be executed in an unexpected way:

There was a strong wind that night, and seeing that the weather was not good, Li Zhi did not leave the palace.

The Turks, who had been in ambush outside for a long time, finally decided to attack with the idea that they would come.

Jiucheng Palace was just a summer palace, and more than 40 Turks successfully forced their way in.

After a moment of fighting, seeing that there was no hope of assassination, he seized his horse and tried to flee north to his Turkic homeland, but was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards and executed on the way.

The biggest impact of this rebellion was that the Turkic tribes who were imprisoned in the Hetao were restless.

Li Shimin was almost forced to re-canonize a Turkic khanate and let him re-lead his Turkic tribes back to their native lands.

Regarding this matter, Li Shimin's evaluation of himself is two words: embarrassed.

And sighed afterwards, regretting not using Wei Zheng's words.

Because there were also two factions in dealing with the Turks in the first place:

Wei Zheng thought that the Turks were ambitious, so they either completely dispersed and moved them to Hebei to educate them, or drove them to Mobei to check and balance with Xue Yantuo.

Wen Yanbo believed that Liu Xiu's policy of restraint against the Southern Xiongnu should be emulated, and a piece of land should be set aside nearby to facilitate management.

Li Shimin eventually adopted Wen Yanbo's opinion, which eventually led to the assassination.

It is also for this reason that Li Shimin's attitude towards Gaochang has changed from fetters to direct jurisdiction.

This also meant that the Tang army officially entered the Western Regions in person, thus setting off the vigorous territorial expansion of the Tang Dynasty. 】

Fang Xuanling's face was subtle:

"Previously, for the strategy of the Turkic relics, Wen Dalin, the Chinese scholar, did have a strategy of restraint."

However, the few people who stayed in the Ganlu Hall had a different view of the Turks than before, so the fetters were not adopted in the end.

What Wei Zheng did in the north at this time was jointly finalized by them.

Most of them are divided into small parts to make them live next to each other, and they are not allowed to have private connections.

The small department was scattered into households, and it was compiled into various states and counties and registered as Tang Min.

And the party Li Shimin immediately jumped up:

"Spread the edict to Wei Zheng, just the brother of this Tuli Khan, how far is the distribution!"

He is still patient with Hou Junji, but he doesn't have that good color for Hu Ren at all.

Not to mention the defeated, he still intends to assassinate him?!

And it's just that the distribution is not executed, even Liu Bei has to praise him for being kind-hearted!

Doesn't this Hu man like the grassland, then send him to a place with poor mountains and bad water to see enough!

At this time, Li Shimin understood why the Turks had been wiped out at this time.

But later, Na'an Lushan could still be born in a Turkic tribe and was still an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

What a mess, it's just playing off!
