Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1364 Baochen
Beijing, Fanyang Mansion.

The emperor looked at the letters sent back from Mobei and fell into deep thought.Ni Shi's arrogance can be said to have allowed the court to enter Mobei in advance.If he didn't go crazy, the imperial court had no plan to directly send troops to Mobei so soon.

It's okay now, Nidun went crazy, Xue Yantuo was defeated.

The imperial court not only destroyed Xue Yantuo, but also witnessed the birth of another loyal general.Adopted son Roque was used in this battle, not only showing his loyalty, but also proving his general talent.

In this battle, even Li Jing and Su Dingfang who were far away in the frontier, as well as the generals Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji who were in the court, were all full of praise.

It is a good thing that Mobei established counties and counties, and all the tribes of Tie Le surrendered.

Now that Rock is building a city in Mobei, opening roads, building Fengbao, and building an official ranch, these are all done very well, but these are obviously not enough to completely stabilize Mobei.

"The behavior of the Bodhisattva was unexpected."

Wei Zhengdao in the palace, it’s already February now, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Luoyang City has just passed, and the imperial examination is about to be held again, but in Beijing’s Fanyang Mansion, it’s not so lively. As an important town in the north, martial law was once imposed, and the government soldiers, county soldiers, and township regiments also assembled and practiced to prepare for war.

Fortunately, Niyi came quickly and lost quickly. Now even Mobei is a prefecture of the imperial court, so many businessmen gathered in Fanyang, preparing to enter Mobei and dig a pot of gold.

"This Bodhisattva is indeed not simple. Before when Xue Yantuo was so strong, he was able to resolutely rise up and survive. Now that Xue Yantuo is defeated, they don't have the slightest intention of dominating Mobei. They behave so obediently. Loyalty is big treachery." Secretary Supervisor Wang Gui said, "I think most of them are big treacherous heroes, such people should be careful."

Luo Cheng asked, "According to your opinion, how should we guard against it?"

"I believe that the Bodhisattva is docile on the surface and has not shown signs of betrayal, so the court can't use some tough methods, otherwise it will backfire. Therefore, we can win him over by means of rewards and marriages. On the other hand, we should set up counties. Huihe partially, disintegrated, and even isolated him."

Luo Cheng was very satisfied with this answer. To be able to become an important minister of the Imperial Council in purple robes and jade belts, Wang Gui is indeed a prime minister with a grand layout and far-sighted vision.

Daqin did not get close to each other, but in the past, it was just to marry off daughters, but it also accepted foreign feudal clans to send daughters into the palace. Even in recent years, the emperor would take the initiative to ask the feudal states to send daughters of princesses and noble officials, and then The emperor gave marriages to noble princes and ministers.

This unilateral marriage system has indeed strengthened the connection between Daqin and the vassal states.

The two items of marriage marriage and proton entering Beijing can not only strengthen the relationship with the vassals, but also play a role in restricting and controlling them.

But the emperor didn't just consider this level.

He also considered going further, that it was impossible to truly rule Mobei only by rewards, marriages, and divisions.

Mobei is no better than Monan. Although there are Yinshan Mountains and other places in Monan that are separated from the northern part of the Central Plains, there is still a direct connection, but Mobei is separated by the vast desert, which is too far away.

"Huihe was also named Yuanhe and Weihe before, and I gave the Huihe tribe the surname Yuan, and gave the Bodhisattva the national surname Luo and the name Baochen."

Giving a country's surname means being included in the clan's membership. From the patriarchal system of the Han family, this is equivalent to becoming a royal family.In feudal society, surnames were also divided into high and low.

The emperor's surname is also known as the country's surname, which is naturally the most honorable. Being able to bestow the country's surname is the highest spiritual reward for a subject. Those with the surname will be incorporated into the genus, and will be managed by Zongzheng Temple in the future, becoming relatives of the clan.

The Emperor of Qin gave many names to his ministers, but not many gave names to the country.

In the past, the emperor bestowed the country's surname and names on people such as King Xi, Khitan Khan, and the former Turkic Teqin Ashina Simo. The rest, even if they were adopted sons adopted by the emperor, were not all given names.

The emperor bestowed the Yuan surname on the Huihe tribe, gave both the national surname and the first name to the leader Bodhisattva, and then gave each of the remaining eight Huihe tribes a Han surname.

Of course, the emperor also took this opportunity to simply give Tie Le, the twelve prefectures in Mobei, a Han surname.The leader of each department is given the surname and first name of the country.

At the same time, the surnames granted by the emperor were the same as the surnames given by Huihe. They were not given surnames according to the divisions of the twelve major counties, but to the counties under the twelve major divisions, each with a Han surname.

The given surnames were all chosen from the clan annals compiled by the previous imperial court.

So in the thirteen counties of Mobei, the emperor gave the surname [-], and even Xue Yantuo was changed to the surname Xue and Jin.

One hundred and eight surnames means that the imperial court actually divided and governed one hundred and eight counties in Mobei. The emperor bestowed titles such as Gonghou and Bozi on the heads of each county, and conferred official ranks and positions on the imperial court. .

"The titles of princes in Mobei can be hereditary."

With hereditary titles, surnames, marriages and bodyguards, the emperor is trying to win over these Mobei barbarians.The princes of the [-] counties in Mobei had to send their daughters into China to be married by the emperor to the clan or princes and nobles, or to be selected into the harem.They also wanted to send their eldest sons to Beijing as guards as hostages. On the other hand, the emperor also decided to choose suitable-age nobles and concubines from the clan or princes and nobles in the future to give marriages to the princes of Mobei.

This means that in the future, the marriages of the princes in Mobei must be bestowed by the emperor of Qin. Their main wives must be Han daughters. Married men and women will inherit the title in the future.

In this way, the upper class of Mobei Tie Le can be slowly Sinicized.

"Your Majesty has far-sighted plans!"

Several ministers praised it unceasingly, but in fact this assimilation strategy was not created by the emperor, it has existed since ancient times, not only the Han Dynasty assimilated the barbarians, but also the barbarians wanted to assimilate the Han nationality.Just like the Xianbei people who took the initiative to sinicize, but also gave the Han people the Xianbei surname, trying to make the Han people Huhua.

Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong was once called Pu Liuru Zhong, and Li Yuan's grandfather was also named Daye Hu.

In the past, among the tribes in Mobei, there would always be the strong, the strong would dominate, and the tribes would be attached. This is a tribal alliance system, and Khan is the leader.

But now, the Great Qin army is stationed in Mobei, and Mobei does not allow any more dominant leader, and even the big tribes will classify him as a small tribe, most of them will be counties, but the lower parts will be set up as counties. It will even further divide those counties into several townships, so that they can be divided and ruled.

In Mobei, the only overlord is the imperial court.

"The princes need to go to Beijing to worship the emperor every year!"

"The tribes of the counties and counties meet every year in summer and autumn."
