The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 803

Yang Tong said to a group of captives: "At present, the Great Sui is everywhere, and there is no one in the world that can match it, but you want to fight against the Great Sui, forcing me to go on a killing spree. Now it's all right, the Tubo elite soldiers lost ten. Seven or eight, the national power is empty, and Langri Zanpu is now shrinking outside Jishiguan. As long as my army arrives, there is only one dead end. It’s just that whether it’s the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty or the soldiers of Tubo, they are all innocent and fresh Life, if it is not forced by helplessness, who would have the heart to kill corpses everywhere and blood flow into rivers? You tell me, how to solve it perfectly next?"

Seeing the compassionate look of Yang Tong, who took advantage of the advantage and acted like a good boy, all the captives wanted to stab him to death.

Outside Jishi Pass, the corpses of the Tubo army are strewn all over the field, how can it not be said that they are innocent and fresh lives?
The town of Duoma is bleeding like a river, how did you go on a killing spree?
If the Beijing View on the Bank of the Yellow River was not your Yang Tong's idea, only ghosts would believe it.

The Sui people are hypocritical and cunning, and the leader of the Sui people is even worse...

So disgusting.

However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the captives could only endure the nausea, and Yuba Dianzebu said: "The Holy One is right, the Holy One is compassionate, compassionate, and kind. He is indeed a sage in this world... It's just that we are so stupid. Please Your Majesty give me some guidance."

Yang Tong said leisurely: "After paying the ransom, go back to train and fight again. If you can't win, pay the ransom again, and then fight again. Repeated defeats, repeated defeats, repeated defeats, is enough for a man."

Everyone's faces became even more ugly. In the final analysis, they treated them as herding slaves and squeezed out all their money.

"Your Majesty is joking." Ba Dianzebu swallowed his anger and said, "Although we have offended Da Sui, we really have no choice but to ask Your Majesty to understand our difficulties. If Your Majesty has any requirements, please speak clearly, and we will do what we can. If you can't do it...you can do it as much as you can."

When Yang Tong saw that it was almost done, Tuqiongdao said: "If you are afraid that the great Sui army who entered Tubo to fight will kill you, you can move to Heyuan. As long as you obediently become the people of the Sui Dynasty and change from the nomadic life in the past to settled farming and animal husbandry, you will be fine. Can be the same as the people of the Sui Dynasty."

Everyone was silent, and a small tribal leader was obviously tempted, "What about the ransom?"

"A ransom is a ransom and cannot be confused."

"My Sulan tribe is willing to lead the people into the Sui Dynasty and become the people of the Great Sui Dynasty." He knew that Tubo's life would be difficult in the future, and he only wanted to live in peace, so he didn't care about nomadism or farming.

With their role models, other small tribes also expressed their opinions and led their troops into the Sui Dynasty.

"Your people will live a beautiful life of singing and dancing because of your choice today, and they will thank you in the future."

Yang Tong smiled lightly, and said to Ba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Caibang Suhan who were thinking silently, "You are all from the Subi family with a large population and powerful troops. Pay [-]% of the tax, and I will allow you to establish a country in Tubo and canonize you as kings."

The three of them were taken aback for a moment, and then blushed with excitement!
"Your Majesty's words are true?"

"As long as you are obedient and obedient, I will never break my promise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them were so excited that they were going crazy. They bowed to the ground imitating the etiquette of the Han people, and thanked each other: "We are willing to serve the southwest of Da Sui Ping Fan from generation to generation, and we will never lose each other."

How can they not be excited?
To be canonized by the Great Sui Dynasty is no different from other countries in the Western Regions!Right now, the elite soldiers of Tubo are being beaten to seven or eight by the Sui army. It will not be long before Tubo is fragmented and disintegrated.

This is the supreme glory that their ancestors could not have dreamed of!
Having worked as slaves and lackeys of Subi Kingdom and Tubo Kingdom in turn, they have been exploited by them for generations. Now the San Clan can finally feel proud and become the real master of the plateau.

Although the condition is to become the watchdog of the Great Sui Dynasty, no matter how useless it is, it is still a country, and no matter how humble it is, it is still a king.

As long as the foundation of the country is established and the king's position is firmly established, even if he has been coerced by the Sui all his life, there will always be one of his descendants who can get rid of the control of the Sui and become the real king and the overlord of the plateau!

Yang Tong laughed, "Talking and doing things with smart people is fun and peace of mind! Great Sui is a country of benevolence and etiquette, and it is willing to cooperate with all nations for mutual benefit. The choice of the three is really wise. I hope the three The monarch will create prosperity together with Sui, and become the wise and mighty leader of the empire!"

"I will live up to the great trust of the Holy One."

Ba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Caibang Suhan saluted together, looked at each other, and smiled at each other.

Suddenly, I really wanted to stab the other party to death with a knife...

Although Yang Tong canonized them as kings with equal status, they knew that in the days to come, the other party would turn against them for their respective tribes and ambitions!

"You write a letter to your clansmen, as long as you pay the ransom, you can go back and choose a place as your capital and build your own country."

The ransom that should be demanded is still required, and Yang Tong will not forget about it just because of the promise of the three of them.

"Obey." The three of them retreated excitedly.

"If you want to build a country, you can." Yang Tong asked the chiefs of the small tribes who agreed to move inland just now.

"I'm still willing to become a citizen of the Sui Dynasty." These people knew themselves, knowing that they couldn't bear the blow of the newly established country, so they rejected Yang Tong's "good intentions" without hesitation.

"Okay, step back! Write to your relatives and ask them to move to work as farmers as soon as possible."

"I'm waiting to retire."

. . . . . .

When everyone retreated, only Yang Tong and Du Ruhui were left in the big tent.

Du Ruhui said to Yang Tong in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the slaves of various tribes in Tubo came from prisoners of war. They were exploited and oppressed by the chiefs, and their affiliation to each tribe was not strong. The problem of settled farmers and herdsmen is not big. But their tribes will always respect the chiefs. If they are not handled properly now, they will definitely develop into a local tycoon who pays attention to 'clan friendship' and 'relative concealment' in the future, except Generations after generations of Yurou Township, there are unlimited demands on the inside and unlimited compromises on the outside! For the sake of future generations, the officials thought that these chiefs could not stay, so they killed them all. Without the leader of each tribe, naturally no one will take the lead in making troubles gone."

Yang Tong nodded and said: "Keming is right, but they can't be moved for the time being, I want them to bring the tribes and slaves to the Sui Dynasty, and when they get to Heyuan, if they support and persuade the tribes to separate into the four counties of Qinghai , Hexi counties, I can give them a rich life, if they have different ideas, not one will be left behind."

"Saint is wise."

"What do you think about the Three Kingdoms of Tubo?" Yang Tong asked.

"This method is very powerful. It is very similar to the division of Jin among the three families." Du Ruhui said with a smile: "During the time of Jin Pinggong, the six ministers of Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Zhongxing clan fought against each other. Later, after Zhao wiped out Fan and Zhongxing clan , and united with Han and Wei to destroy the Zhi family, and the Jin family survived in name only, but after the three families were canonized as princes by King Weilie of Zhou, they began to conquer endlessly. I see these three people, Tubo has not been destroyed, and there is already a mess Xin, from now on, for the great cause of unifying the plateau for his own country, he will be like Zhao, Wei, and Han, and the founding of the country will become an old enemy. These three countries plus Tuyuhun, the Tubo royal family and the old nobles, Prince Supi who is determined to restore the country, and Dangxiang With Tuoba Chici, the Tubo Plateau has become the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period."

"When Niang Shangnang's soldiers are gone, we will establish another Niang Kingdom." Yang Tong laughed, "This will become the Allied Forces of Eight Nations."

"My lord, what did you say?" Du Ruhui didn't hear clearly and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, what I mean is that if the Niang family also destroys the country, there will be eight countries on the Tubo plateau."

"Exactly, it is a good idea for the Holy Majesty to support the Six Clans Subi, Ba, Nong, Cai Bang, Niang, and Tuoba to carve up Tubo, but we cannot give them too much freedom." Du Ruhui said: "The Tubo royal family and the old nobles Huge and powerful, even if Langri Zanpu and the Tubo soldiers who entered the Tang Dynasty were extinct, they cannot be defended by one family. Therefore, the Six Clans and Tuyuhun can only rely on our Great Sui to survive before and after the founding of the country. This is the way to control them. In the best time, in order to avoid becoming a border trouble in the future, we must impose heavy restrictions on them."

Yang Tong nodded heavily: "What Keming said is very true, what do you think?"

"Weichen's idea is to start with the army."

"Send our people to be officers? Gradually control the army of the Six Clans?" Yang Tong frowned slightly.

This method is very good, but the risk is also huge. If you teach a few powerful 'rebels', you will be in big trouble.

It’s not that Yang Tong is careful, but there are many real cases in his mind, such as Sui Zhidong/Turk, Li Tang’s Xue Yantuo, Tubo, Silla, Huihe, Shatuo, and later generations of Nanyue monkeys. These are living examples. .

"No." Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "My minister is saying that the Holy Majesty directly intervenes in their army in the name of the saint Khan, and forces them to implement the military system we have drawn up; if they don't agree, they will be killed and replaced."

"Domineering." Yang Tong pointed up in praise, but he was more interested in Du Ruhui's military system.

Without waiting for Yang Tong to inquire, Du Ruhui spoke out his idea, and only heard him say: "Your Majesty, the main purpose of this idea of ​​my minister is to 'use the barbarians to control the barbarians', that is to use the army of foreign tribes to control the foreign tribes. Any designation by the Sui Dynasty is a rebellion. Rebels and dissidents, if foreign soldiers killed him, the Sui Dynasty would reward them generously. The more they killed, the higher the official position they killed, the heavier the reward. The core concept of this system is that wealthy individuals, benevolent families , be mean to its citizens. As long as this system is implemented among its army and people, let them kill ambitious people themselves, and exterminate their families, over time, all ethnic groups will fall into the suspicion of monarchs and ministers, and everyone will be suspicious How can such a foreign race pose a threat to our Tai Sui?"

Du Ruhui saluted, and continued: "In addition, the kings of various countries are required to promote four people to serve as their four generals, but in order to appease the resentment in the hearts of the kings, these four people are appointed by themselves and have a term limit. Step down from your position and enter the Sui Dynasty to enjoy the blessings, and no longer interfere in the country's military affairs, so that the leaders of various countries do not have to worry about the four generals becoming a threat to themselves, so they reluctantly accept this arrangement. And these generals have the Great Sui to hide from their enemies and have no worries. In order to obtain more wealth and make great contributions in exchange for high-ranking positions in the Sui Dynasty, during their short term of office, they will definitely kill the clansmen."

"Not bad, go ahead..." Yang Tong felt that Du Ruhui's cruel and inhumane system seemed to have been done by someone.

Can't say specifically.

"Here." Du Ruhui smiled slightly, "The above is aimed at the domestic countries, and in order to encourage fighting among countries and aggravate the hatred between each other, we have to add a regulation, that is, in addition to our own country, killing people from other countries will be rewarded even more , this method may minimize the harm of the alien race."

"Keming, your method of using barbarians to control barbarians is amazing!"

"Actually, this method of Weichen is also based on the slave trade prevailing in the Eastern and Western Turks."

"No wonder it's so familiar."

When Yang Tong heard the words, he suddenly realized that he and Fang Xuanling started the slave trade in order to let Jieli Khan, Ashina Simo, Yinan, and Qibi fight among themselves in the East/Turks and consume their war potential. And set up a trading city on the border. In order to earn cattle and sheep, all the ministries raised their butcher knives against the small and medium-sized tribes around them, and sold the captured men and women to the Sui Dynasty as official slaves. Minus, all kinds of killings have not stopped so far, and since then this successful experience has been extended to Western Turks, and it has also been a great success.

After the thorns among these slaves were beheaded for public display, under the lure of the nationality of the Sui Dynasty, in order to live a normal life and get the treatment that the people of the Sui Dynasty thought of, they worked diligently and worked hard as free laborers. Large projects were built in various countries in the Sui Dynasty, such as flat official roads and canals, which provided great convenience for the people of the Sui Dynasty to travel.

Tubo is also a tough nomadic people. The method Du Ruhui thought of in terms of the slave system should be no problem. When the Liu Clan establishes a country in Tubo and then releases the slave trade to them, there will definitely be endless wars.

"This system is definitely effective. You go talk to those three guys and say that the condition for Sui to support them in establishing a country is to set up four generals. If they don't agree, we will support their clansmen as kings."

"I obey." Du Ruhui said with a smile: "In order to become kings, they will definitely agree. In order to make them feel at ease, the four generals' terms of office should be as short as possible. "

"Go talk to them."

"Here." Du Ruhui bowed and left.

. . . . . .

The negotiation took much less time than Yang Tong had imagined. It took less than half an hour before and after. Du Ruhui had successfully returned and sent good news to Yang Tong who was handling official business:

Ba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Cai Bang Suhan all agreed to establish four generals with a term of two years, but they requested that after the four generals resign, they would be taken over by the Sui Dynasty, lest these generals become their own country's leader. Cause of civil strife.

This is exactly what Yang Tong and Du Ruhui wished for.
