Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 846 Migration No

"Go back to the palace."

Li Shimin's goal has been achieved.

The reason why he left the palace was firstly to appease the hearts of heroes like Li Jing, and secondly, he wanted to reprimand Jieli Khan in front of the people of Chang'an.

But now that the goal has been achieved, how to deal with it next is a matter for their court, and the people don't need to know.

Everyone naturally understood this truth, so Li Shimin asked him to go back to the palace, and they all quickly followed back to the palace and came to the main hall.

Li Shimin was sitting in the hall, and Jieli Khan, as a prisoner, was naturally not qualified to go to the hall.

"My dear friends, now that the Turks are gone, how should Jieli Khan deal with it?"

Li Shimin asked, the officials in the court looked at each other, and then Changsun Wuji stood up and said: "My lord, the old Turkic people still have some feelings for Jieli Khan. Killing him may cause a civil uprising. There are quite a few people here, so it would be the best if we don’t make extra troubles, so I think it’s better to give Jieli Khan a title and let him live in Chang’an City for the rest of his life.”

What Changsun Wuji said was nice. He said it was old-age care, but he was actually under house arrest. Jieli Khan was put under house arrest in Chang'an City, and his subsequent actions would be subject to surveillance.

After Changsun Wuji said this, although some officials in the court felt that the punishment of Jieli Khan was light, they also knew that Jieli Khan could not be killed, so they didn't say much.

"Your Majesty, I think what the eldest grandson said is true."

"My lord, I also agree."

"........."

Some ministers stood up to express their support, Li Shimin nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, let's do this, choose a house for Jieli Khan, let him stay in it for the elderly, and I will ensure that he will be rich and honored all his life."

When they heard the words "a lifetime of wealth and honor", all the officials in the court smiled wryly. Without freedom, what's the use of being rich?

But it wasn't them anyway, so the court officials just laughed it off and didn't take it too seriously.

"Holy One is merciful."

"Saint is wise."

"..."

Li Shimin's arrangement for Jieli Khan gave people the feeling that he was a benevolent king, and this was what Li Shimin wanted to show, so there was nothing wrong with the officials flattering him like this.

However, Li Shimin only listened to a few words, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, it's easy to talk about how to deal with Jieli Khan, but how to deal with the old Turkic land is not easy to solve. Dear friends, what can you do?" suggestion?"

The environment of the Turkic grasslands is relatively harsh, and the land is not good, so it is not suitable for growing crops. However, this place has been hard-earned, and it cannot be abandoned. How to deal with it has naturally become a major problem for the court. .

Of course, there are also people in the former Turkic lands. Now that their country is subjugated, many people may not be able to accept their identity as Tang people. Therefore, there must be a proper arrangement for how to treat these people.

The officials looked at each other, and then someone stood up: "Your Majesty, it is useless for us to take the Turkic grassland. The most we can do is to raise horses. If you see it, you can directly set up a guard house on the grassland and send troops to protect it." Keep guard and prevent the Turkic people from rebelling."

The Turkic people are not used to the Han people's way of life, and the Han people are not used to the Turkic grasslands, so in the eyes of many ministers in the court, the Turkic grasslands are as barren as they are, and they have never thought of doing anything with the grasslands.

They just felt that this place had been fought so hard, and it would be a pity not to want it.

Just send troops to guard and prevent the old Turkic people from rebelling.

After the official said this, many people in the court stood up to express their agreement.

"Your Majesty, I think this method is acceptable. Although the Turkic people have not resisted now, they will not rebel if they are not in order. We can just garrison troops on the grassland."

"That's right, that's right, it's useless to have the grassland anyway. After setting up troops, it's enough to collect taxes from the Turkic people every year. Don't they have cattle, sheep and horses, so they use this instead of taxation, so that my Tang Dynasty will have no shortage of war horses." .”

"........."

The officials in the court said, Li Shimin didn't think there was any problem after listening to it, and he didn't think about making use of the Turkic grassland, but when Li Shimin was thinking this way, he saw Qin Tian standing Laughing lightly below, he couldn't help but whisper in his heart.

"Qin Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Shimin looked at Qin Tian and asked, Qin Tian came out and said: "My lord, I think that conquering a piece of land is not a complete conquest. Sooner or later, those old Turkic people will still take this land back, my lord It means that it might as well be thorough and conquer the Turkic people."

As long as the Turkic old people are still on the grassland, it is undeniable that they may really become stronger again, and then plunder the grassland that belongs to them.

Everyone turned their gazes to Qin Tian's side, and Li Shimin's expression froze for some time.

"Then Qin Aiqing means how to conquer the Turkic people?"

"Your Majesty, move some Turkic people to the interior of our Tang Dynasty, and then move some people from our Tang Dynasty to the grassland. We can build Jimifu Prefecture on the grassland. In this Jimifu Prefecture, we build houses. And everything we have in Chang'an City or other places now, so that there is no difference between those prefectures and prefectures in other places in the Tang Dynasty, and strive to Sinicize the people on the grassland, let them learn Chinese and learn Chinese culture , learn our etiquette, so that if they recognize these things in our hearts, they will naturally not think about rebelling, and they will also recognize the identity of Tang people."

In Qin Tian's view, Han culture is very broad and profound, and has a strong inclusiveness. He can assimilate many other cultures. Among the ancient civilizations of later generations, only China survived. This is a big reason It is because this kind of Chinese culture has not been lost, and there is no fault.

No matter what kind of foreign invasion China suffered, after the invasion, they still had to accept Han culture, such as the Yuan Dynasty, such as the Qing Dynasty.

If Datang could promote this culture on the Turkic grasslands, it would definitely have a better effect than simply conquering their land.

However, after Qin Tian finished speaking, Li Shimin's brows became a little deeper, and then someone from the court stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what joke are you talking about, moving the Turkic people to the inland, and moving the people from the inland to the mainland?" Do you think it is possible for the people to migrate to the grassland?"

"That is, let's not talk about whether the Turkic people are happy or not. If they are relocated here, who will solve their livelihood problems, they will only be able to herd. What else can they do?"

"That is, the Turkic people migrated to the interior, and they must have conflicts with our people. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
