Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 1223
These are only the governor's prefectures in Mobei, while Xi, Qi, Qi, Shiwei, Mohe, etc. in the east are not affiliated.

The Xiqi tribes in the east are all under the jurisdiction of the Zhendong Metropolitan Government located in Liaodong City.

The jurisdiction of Zhenbei Metropolitan Government is equivalent to the entire territory of Outer Mongolia north of the Uga River in Inner Mongolia today, the upper reaches of the Irtysh River and the Yenisei River in Russia, the Angara River, and the surrounding areas of Lake Baikal.

24 Dudu's Mansion is ruled by Jumi, and the tribal leaders canonized as Dudu and Shishi, hereditary.But different from before, this time Qin Lang suggested that the imperial court must make an alliance with them and make an oath to demarcate the borders. Response to confederates.

As for the Xueyantuo territory currently seized by the Huihe, part of it was allocated to the Huihe, and the rest was shared by the Tang Dynasty and other tribes.It was not taken away by the Tang Dynasty, but shared with other tribes, so that Huihe could not get the support of other tribes.

Xue Yantuo used to occupy the best grassland, and there was a large number of people and livestock. Datang was willing to share it with each family. There is no reason why each family should not be tempted.

"After the establishment of the 24th Governor's Mansion, every autumn, the heads of the various ministries will go to the town of Beizhou in Yudu Junshan to hold an alliance and adjust the conflicts between the various ministries together."

"At the same time, Zhenbei Prefecture, as the imperial court is in Mobei Zhengzhou, will also become an important trading port for the imperial court in Mobei, supporting various ministries to come to trade."

In Qin Lang's design, he actually borrowed from the Mongols' own alliance system and the alliance flag system when the Manchu Qing ruled Mongolia.

First divide Mobei into 24 tribal territories, make an oath to establish boundaries, and then retain a court Zhengzhou.

Then we will form an alliance with the various tribes, and according to the will of the emperor, we will divide the 24 tribes into prefectures and counties. It is divided into several states and many counties, and even more townships and villages.

Then, after the layers are divided, it will be fixed in the form of an oath, a monument and a contract, so the territory can no longer be disturbed in the future, and the territory can be inherited from generation to generation. It's fixed.

And the succession of each ministry has to go through a decree of the imperial court, which strengthens the authority of the central government.

In Yudu Junshan, an alliance system of one alliance per year was established, and the leaders of each department entered the capital for one tribute system every three years, and they were also allowed to implement this alliance meeting discussion system in each territory, in fact, it was to disintegrate the authority of the leaders of each department .

Gradually, the power of each ministry was no longer always in the hands of the leader, but was dispersed among the various families.It's like Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and enfeoffed each of his sons as kings.After his death, his prince succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Although he could also entrust his sons as princes and kings again, those princes and kings granted by Liu Bang would not change, which dispersed his power.

And after a few generations, for example, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che arrived, those princes and kings had been separated from the emperor by several generations, and their recognition of Liu Che's central court must have been even worse.

This is inevitable.

And if according to the traditional customs on the grassland, although the ministries are also divided into feudal systems, after the new leader succeeds, he will always use his own sons and brothers instead of his father's brothers and uncles to seal the town and manage the people. It can ensure that the power of the tribal leader is relatively centralized.

Even so, there are often internal strife on the grassland, such as the weakness of the powerful Turkic Khanate, and several famous Khan succession disputes. He was severely beaten by the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains to be honest.

If they can be divided into layers and then fixed, then the tribes in Mobei will basically be abolished. It will be fine in one or two generations. They are all brothers and nephews. After a few generations, they will not be so close.

Qin Lang proposed to actively interfere with the tribes in Mobei, but not to conquer by force. The cost would be too high and it would be unsustainable. Focus on enfeoffment and alliances, supplemented by tribute and trade, and control them all to truly realize The purpose of restraint.

Whoever dares to break through the restrictions of the covenant, immediately summon other ministries to destroy him, stop his trade, ban him from trading, let the ministries rise up and destroy him, and then entrust his territory to the children of the ministries.Divisions such as prefectures, counties, and even villages remain unchanged, but the enfeoffed lords can be changed.

Whoever is obedient will be canonized forever, and whoever is not obedient will be destroyed, and another person will be canonized.

For Mobei, the imperial court does not need to levy taxes, it only needs to maintain trade, and the profits from trade plus the taxes levied by Tangbian City are enough.

When the tribes dominated by the Tiele people in Mobei solidify and the environment becomes stable, these people will slowly become corrupt and degenerate, and they will have the benefits of trade. These people can live comfortably without robbing at all. , Even when trade is developed, the nomadic people in Mobei no longer have to worry about white disasters, yellow disasters and black disasters. The grasslands do not produce grain, but they can use cattle, sheep, livestock, horses, camels, and fur to buy grain and salt.

When they gradually became pure shepherds, horsemen, cowherds, etc., they no longer pose a threat to Datang.

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this step. First of all, Datang needs to maintain a strong deterrence of force.Now that the Tang Dynasty has destroyed the Xueyantuo Kingdom after destroying the Eastern Turks, it is a good time, especially because there are still many Tang Army cavalry still in Mobei, so this new system is launched at this time, regardless of the degree of confusion. No matter how ambitious you are, you have to think about it carefully.

And as long as this system is established first, then whoever dares to violate it in the future, Datang will be famous as a teacher.

From the earliest Turks dominating the grasslands, to Xue Yantuo and Huihe sharing control of Mobei, and then turning them into the 24 Dudufu under the Northern Dudufu in Datang Town, they were gradually disintegrated and disintegrated.

If the plan is successful, Datang will add a huge commodity market in the future, and at the same time, it will be able to obtain more abundant and cheaper livestock, fur and dairy products. In the long run, this is of course a very good thing.

"Wei Gong is playing a big game of chess, but how can the tribes in Mobei be willing to be commanded? Those people are barbarians, how can they be restrained?"

Cui Dunli immediately refuted Xiao Laopao's doubts, "I think Wei Gong's discussion is very good. The imperial court's governance of Mobei has actually achieved great results. Although the land of Monan has only implemented the detention policy for a few years, Soon it will be fully economically controlled Zhengzhou, but by dividing the border of the grassland and strengthening trade, the Turkic people resettled in Monan are now very safe. There is no more war on the border, and there are no grassland barbarians who often go south to plunder. , I don’t have to go north every year in the Tang Dynasty to prevent autumn, Monan has become the best pasture in the Tang Dynasty, and the Turkic people have become the best herdsmen in the Tang Dynasty, isn’t that true?”

"How can it be the same in Monan and Mobei? How many military towns, fortresses, and troops have been stationed in Monan? Can it work in Mobei?"

"I think Wei Gong's plan is very good. Does Xiao Gong have a better plan, or just give up blindly, so what kind of strategy is it to make Mobei a hidden danger?"

Xiao Yu was also refuted and had nothing to say.

The resettlement of those Turkic people in Monan has been carried out for more than ten years, and the policy has been adjusted several times. Now it seems that the effect is indeed good.

The Turkic people on the northern border are almost no longer a threat to the imperial court, and have even become an important pastoral area and tax source for the imperial court.

"24 The tribal leader of the Dudu Mansion can be granted the title of duke of the country, increase the rank of general, and confer the positions of governor and governor. His children will be granted the titles of marquis, general, and governor, and then the earl, general Zhonglang, and county magistrate. Then the viscount captain, the village chief, the baron, the school lieutenant, the village chief..."

Everyone always finds it weird that a village chief with the title of baron is a school lieutenant, but if they are all just loose lords, they are worthless.

"From now on, all the tribes in Mobei will be officials of the Tang Dynasty. Whoever dares to call himself a Khan is a rebellious official and thief. Everyone will be punished!"

"What if Yaoluoge Tumidu refuses to accept this, what if he refuses to divide the territory and livestock population of the annexed Xue Yantuo tribe, and refuses to get rid of the Khan?" Xiao Laopao asked.

Cheng Qian smiled slightly.

"Wei Gongxin said later that if he confuses his fans and is ignorant of current affairs, it means that this person has already had a different intention and will definitely rebel in the future. If this is the case, then my Tang Dynasty might as well strike early, strike while the iron is hot, and kill him first. , At that time, the territory, livestock, population, etc. of Huihe will be divided among the other 23 tribes, why are the tribes unwilling?"

For Datang, at that time, the 24 Dudufu will become the 23 Dudufu.

"Wei Gong's suggestion is to separate the Rong, Di and barbarians. Mobei and Monan should be divided, and the Liaodong and Western Regions must also be separated from Mobei. Several large areas must be subdivided layer by layer. This way No worries."

"Wei Gong also recommended Su Dingfang, the governor of Songzhou Procuratorate and the envoy of the Ningyuan Army, as the governor of Zhenbei, the governor of Zhenzhou Prefecture and the envoy of the Zhenbei Army, and Xue Rengui, the general of Zhonglang, as the Sima of Zhenbei Prefecture and the deputy envoy of the Zhenbei Army. Do you guys think it's okay?"

An army is permanently stationed in Mobei, with 24 Tang cavalry, and then [-] Hu soldiers in Mobei are recruited, each with [-] troops, for a total of [-] cavalry.

Some of the captives who killed Xue Yantuo were used to graze sheep and horses in Zhenbei Prefecture, and opened a commercial port market in Yudu Junshan.

With such a standing army of more than [-] cavalry, it can always threaten the tribes in Mobei, and if there are conflicts between the tribes, they can also go to resolve them as soon as possible.Whether it's grassland competition or livestock robbing, there are [-] elite riders, and the referee's words are even more dignified.

Anyone who dares to ignore the ruling of the Metropolitan Government must consider the existence of this elite cavalry.Even if a powerful tribe is not afraid of these three thousand horsemen, they still have to consider the million-strong army of the Central Plains Datang.

If there is no such a soldier, thousands of miles away, only relying on the imperial court's order, those people may not be honest and willing to listen.

Sometimes the emperor in Luoyang may not be more effective than the three thousand cavalry in Mobei!
