Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1342 Overseas Colonies

"Back to the sage, Xu Xiaofeng's father was the prefect of the Sui Dynasty, and later attached to the sage, and died in the decisive battle with the Turks. The sage remembered his merits and specially recruited his son Xu Xiaofeng into the army as a seventh-rank guard. Later, the meritorious service was released as the capital. , and then promoted to battalion commander. Then when the army was disarmed, all his troops were laid off, and he also retired. After retiring, he convened an old army department and bought a few boats. These years, he has been on the coast of Baekje and Waguo Looting, I don’t know why this time, but it’s still happening in Najin, Japan.”

What Wang Gui said inside and outside, was actually speaking for Xu Xiaofeng.

"He's very good at making trouble. I remember that this guy is tall and thin. He always smiles, but he is extremely ruthless and has a bit of a bad temper. I didn't expect to retire, let alone, now he is in Changsun Wuji. Seeing him in the memorial, and causing such a big event."

"Young man, he is more impulsive. Originally, the decree had been issued and he was not allowed to plunder the Wa country. He purchased five shipments of goods from Tamna port and went to Najin for trade. The business was doing well, but there was a misunderstanding. Fortunately, The misunderstanding is gone now," Wang Gui said.

"Don't speak for this bastard, I know it's definitely not a misunderstanding, it's just that these people are too reckless. But this happened in Dongpu after all, and the result is fine, so I don't care too much. If it's his people If you dare to do this anywhere in the Central Plains, I will never forgive you lightly."

"Then what does the sage think about it? The eldest grandson Xuan Shuai intends to reward him, and Shiga is listed as an overseas colonial stronghold!"

Luo Cheng smiled.

"It's another Li Shimin, the master who can cause trouble, but fortunately he also has the ability to deal with the aftermath."

"Has the golden seal he offered delivered?"

"It's already here, do you want to present Your Majesty's Royal View?"

"No need, it's just a golden seal. Whether it was the slave country in the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Yamatai Kingdom in the Cao Wei Dynasty, although envoys were sent to pay tribute, the central principle was canonized and sealed, but in the final analysis, there was no actual rule at all. The only way to really bring it into the territory and implement rule is to immigrate and change species, instead of relying on canonization and detention."

Canonization is impossible to be useful at all, just like the examples in Yunnan and Vietnam.

Because of its remote location and inconvenient transportation, the land of Yunnan was controlled earlier by the Central Plains dynasty than in Vietnam. However, in the end, Vietnam still broke away from the Central Plains, but Yunnan became an inviolable part. Why?
"The reason is that in ancient times, although the land of Jiaozhou could be reached by sea, the Lingnan land in the north at that time was always sparsely populated by Han people. Guangdong and Guangxi stabilized.

However, Jiaozhou in the south has always had the problem of too few Han people, and it is also separated from Lingnan. Therefore, although there are officials in the area, the people below are mostly local barbarians, and they continue to absorb the Central Plains. However, they have never been assimilated. Once the strength is strong, and there is civil strife in the Central Plains, they will take advantage of the breakaway to stand on their own.

On the other hand, Yunnan is just the opposite. For a long time, the highlands of Yunnan were difficult for the Central Plains Dynasty to rule deeply, so the local barbarians stood on their own. However, the Central Plains Dynasty did not really begin to cleanse the upper class of the natives until the Ming Dynasty, and implemented large-scale immigration. , but this trick was very effective. The Han people who kept moving over in a steady stream finally surpassed the natives, so the Han family successfully stabilized their position, and finally did not let the natives turn the tables.

The examples of Yunnan and Vietnam made Luo Cheng always firmly believe that it is necessary to achieve real control over Goguryeo, Baekje, Lingnan, Linyi, and even Yunnan, central Guizhou, Xishan, Qinghai, and Anbeiting , there is only one way, to immigrate and change species.

In addition, it is basically impossible to conquer assimilation.

In the Han Dynasty, the Wa people professed their vassals to the Central Plains and accepted canonization, but what is the use?The island is full of Japanese, so even if they accept Han culture and Confucian culture, they are still Japanese in the end.

"Let the Ministry of Officials issue Xu Xiaofeng the Shiga County Magistrate to sue him, and grant him the seal of the County Magistrate. In addition, according to the previous edict, I will assign Shiga Island in Shiga County to Xu Xiaofeng as his fief, and grant him the seal of the county magistrate. The founding baron of Shiga Prefecture gave him [-] households of Zhenfeng Shiyi. Shiga County is an overseas colony, and he can enjoy one-third of all tax revenues from the land, and the remaining two-thirds will be turned over to the imperial court."

Shiga Island is located at the export point of Natsu Harbor, and it is very beneficial to control this island in hand.

A strategic master like Luo Cheng can see the importance of this island at a glance.

Natsu Port will surely develop rapidly and become more prosperous in the future, so the importance of Shiga Island will become stronger and stronger.

Xu Xiaofeng once served as the emperor's personal bodyguard, this is a loyal nail.

Needless to say, the overseas colonial policy was originally launched by the emperor, and now Xu Xiaofeng's role model is certainly worthy of standing up and pushing.

In order to gain the support of the imperial court, Suga Mazi of Dongying is willing to give up half of the fat country, not to mention the small Shiga Island. Even if he knows the role of this island, he still gave it away, which shows that According to his attitude, he wants to show his loyalty to the court.

Of course, the emperor was also happy to accept this loyalty.

For example, Su Wo Mazi not only sent his young daughter to the emperor's palace, but even sent his two sons to the Central Plains as soon as he returned to Japan. They were called escorts and served the emperor. It is the proton.

"Five hundred households were transferred from Shandong to Shiga Island, and another two hundred households were transferred from Baekje and Goguryeo. Since Shiga is a county, it must look like a county, even though it is a county. It’s under Dongying Road, but the imperial court can let Baekje Road take care of it.”

Wang Gui immediately understood.

This is the same as Hizen County, which was separated from Fei Country. In name, it is under the Chikushi County of Dongying Road, but in fact it is managed by Baekje Road and Dongming County.

Immigrants change species, Hizen and Shiga go first.

Wang Gui took the order to retreat, thinking in his heart, this Xu Xiaofeng is really lucky, he can cause trouble just like Li Shimin, but the emperor just admires such a person.

Li Shimin captured the Lion City, and now he has become the Xuanshuai and prefect of Lin Yidao.

Xu Xiaofeng robbed Najin and occupied Shiga, and now he is also the founding baron of Shiga County.

With these two role models, I am afraid that in the future, there will be countless bold people who will follow this path.

Wang Gui doesn't know what kind of changes will be brought about by this opening, but think about a retired soldier from Daqin who is now occupying the land of the Japanese, building a colonial stronghold, and then immigrating and colonizing. Very excited.
