Han Shizu

Chapter 1196
"The yellow-headed thieves are finally dealt with!" When Li Chuyun explained his intentions and first reported Hexi's battle report, Emperor Liu's reaction was very real, and he directly commented: "Yang Tingzhang lived up to my expectations and the court's entrustment." !"

Emperor Liu's mood suddenly improved. Of course, these remnants of the Uighurs could not be regarded as his heart disease, and they were not even very eye-catching.But these years, they have still caused some troubles to the big man in the northwest. Tigers certainly don't care about the bites of flies and mosquitoes, but those noises are naked provocations.

If the Liao Kingdom invaded the border of the empire wantonly, Emperor Liu would not be so angry, but a group of subjugated survivors who were defeated dared to be so rampant and violated our people, which made Emperor Liu feel ashamed.

Therefore, in recent years, the imperial court has paid close attention to the suppression of the Yellow-headed Uighurs, and has issued several instructions.The civil and military forces in Hexi, including Wu Tingzuo, were under a lot of pressure, so Yang Tingzhang attacked wildly, and even ran long distances several times regardless of the risk.

Now, with the good news, Emperor Liu's attitude has also changed drastically, and he will praise the soldiers who have made meritorious deeds.Directly ordered to Liu Yang: "Report the meritorious personnel, let the Ministry of War step up the approval, and approve it as soon as possible, especially the soldiers who braved the wind and cold for seven hundred miles this winter, we must pay special attention!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, this time it's not just the remnants of the Uighurs. Our army also wiped out the Tubo tribal captives who colluded with them. We conquered [-] tribes and captured more than [-] men and women. Although there are not many cattle, sheep and horses, they can make up for the consumption of the expedition! "Li Chuyun talked about the harvest and significance of eliminating the yellow-headed Uighur:

"At this point, in the southwest of Guasha, the troubles have been cleared, and the land has been successfully expanded for more than [-] miles. At the same time, at this time, our army's prestige must be displayed, and the surrounding Hulu will be frightened again, and they dare not look sideways!"

Emperor Liu got up and walked to the map of the Great Han Dynasty, and cast his eyes on the northwest region, cooperating with Li Chuyun's explanation.Although it is difficult to be completely accurate, Qinghai Luo has been completely reduced to the inner lake of the imperial court. At the same time, the newly expanded land roughly includes the Qaidam Basin.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Emperor Liu said again: "Very good!"

"Wu Tingzuo, Lu Duoxun, the captured Uighurs and Tubo people, let them be responsible for resettlement. For the Tubo people, the Lord recruited and absorbed them. As for the Uighurs, Ding Zhuang was detained to do labor, the old and weak, women and children, all demoted to official slaves !" Emperor Liu said plainly again, and his light words meant that the suffering of thousands of people was about to happen.

The difference in the treatment of the Uighurs and the Tibetans is naturally treated differently.After all, in the northwest region, the Tibetans are more widely distributed and have a greater influence.It can be said that for a long time to come, the imperial court will mainly deal with the Tubo people. Compared with the Uighurs who have been conquered and eliminated, their attitudes and methods will naturally be more relaxed.

"In addition, let's go to the Wenzhengshitang to ask them to draw up a state and county system for the new land, and how to digest the results and stabilize the rule. They must also come up with specific measures!" Emperor Liu continued to order Liu Yang.

Staring at the Northwest map, it is obvious that the territory of the big man has expanded again. Even if you look at the world on the map, you will inevitably feel ups and downs. After all, this is his achievement!

Pointing to the area in the southwest of Guasha, Gansu, Emperor Liu asked, "If I remember correctly, this northwest territory does not include the four counties that Emperor Yang of Sui set up!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuyun's face froze immediately, he didn't have such broad knowledge.Shi Xizai, who was still a erudition, relieved his embarrassment, and took the initiative to say to Emperor Liu: "In the fifth year of Daye, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Tuyuhun to the west, seized all of its city land, and placed Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, and Qiemo in the old place of Tuyuhun. .

In my opinion, the Han Dynasty now covers most of the West Sea and Heyuan, Shanshan, and a part of Qiemo in the northwest territory, which is indeed inferior to the territory of the Sui Dynasty! "

Shi Xizai was telling the truth. After all, apart from the four counties, he also had achievements in managing the Western Regions. In this regard, Emperor Liu was even worse.

However, he didn't take it seriously, he just looked at the map and thought for a long time, and finally said with emotion: "Even though Emperor Yang of Sui was arrogant, violent and unkind, causing the heavens to turn against him, and died in the second generation, he can still be called the hero of a generation." Already!"

It is probably the "sympathy" between the heroes. For Emperor Sui Yang and Emperor Liu, the senses and evaluations should be relatively objective.After all, he is the Son of Heaven, so he doesn't need to be politically correct.

There is one thing to say, before the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty was definitely the peak period of all dynasties in terms of Wenzhiwugong.Even with the heyday of the later Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to completely take away the light of the Great Sui Dynasty. The system of Tang Cheng Sui is reflected in all aspects.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Emperor Sui Yang should be taken as a warning!" Shi Xizai heard the affirmation in Emperor Liu's tone of Emperor Sui Yang's tyrant, and immediately reminded him seriously.

Regarding this, Emperor Liu chuckled and continued: "For so many years, the imperial court has expanded a lot of land in the northwest and recovered a lot of land occupied by the Tubo people. Do you think this will force the Tubo people to feel threatened? Unite and unite again?"

Hearing this, Shi Xizai replied with certainty: "Absolutely not! The collapse of the Tubo Kingdom lies in the disintegration of slavery. It is from top to bottom. , It has been divided for hundreds of years, each has its own politics, endless disputes, and continuous decline, and now there is no one lineage that has the strength and prestige to unify Tubo. What's more, with a big man on the side, how can it be tolerated?"

Never thought that Shi Xizai, a Confucian scholar, could have such insight.Emperor Liu smiled slightly, and moved his eyes from the Western Regions to Qinghai-Tibet. After a long time, he gave instructions: "In the future, we should strengthen ties with the Tubo tribes, use food, tea, cloth and salt to clear the way, and focus on buying and absorbing, and subtly influence them to belong to them! "

"Yes!"

Of course, this is also the policy towards Tubo that the imperial court has summed up over the years. In a divided and chaotic plateau, there is too much room for the imperial court to operate.

And the one that has done the best is naturally the southwest region.Under Zhao Pu's leadership, to the west of Jiannan, the territory actually controlled by the great Han has expanded to the Batang and Mangkang areas of later generations, and its influence has spread to the upper reaches of the Nu River.Longyou has gone west, and it has also advanced to the Jishi Mountain Range.

Counting the results of the war against the Yellow-headed Uighurs, the huge "Qinghai-Tibet" area is showing a state of being encroached upon by the big Han. Although it is still swallowing jujubes whole, with indigestion, and high management costs, it is undeniable that these areas It has been officially restored to the land of the Han Dynasty, which is recorded in the map.

After the Hexi incident was finished, Li Chuyun immediately reported the military situation in the Southwest. Hearing this, Emperor Liu was completely happy, and his eyebrows couldn't help jumping.

If the expansion of land in Hexi is worth explaining, then the victory in the Southwest should be sung.Even without listening to specific reports, Emperor Liu could see the positive impact of Dali's surrender.

In terms of governing policy towards the Southwest, the imperial court still decided to adopt gentle appeasement. Therefore, as long as the Duan clan surrendered, other big and small forces and tribes could all be appeased and bribed.

Left and right, what Emperor Liu wanted was not to exercise complete rule over the Dali area, and that was unrealistic. To obtain the legal ruling power and the administrative and military power of the main city, the rest could be distributed to those indigenous tribes.

What really needs to be dealt with is the Duan family and those big clans. Now that they have surrendered, it means that the Southwest War will come to a victorious end.This was earlier than Emperor Liu expected, and it was a surprise,
How can you not like it.It also has to be said that even if the big man can be called a rich family nowadays, it is not easy to maintain a war of such a scale in the Southwest, and the consumption of various items has doubled.Not to mention anything else, just the dead and wounded soldiers, that is a huge loss. If you look at this war from an economic point of view, it is definitely a loss-making business, and it is basically a business that cannot be recovered.
Now that the war is coming to an end, it also means that the court can start to stop the bleeding, and Emperor Liu is happy to see it.

Furthermore, even if it is aimed at the once again sharply increased territory, it should be said that compared with encroaching on Tubo, Dali is swallowed up. If it is bitten down, it will not only expand the land for thousands of miles, but the entire southwest will be completely connected. In one piece.
