Man Tanghong

Chapter 879 The Role of Protons

There is no need to pay two or three generations at all.

The most important thing is that with the strength of the Tang Dynasty's current rule over Jiaozhou, there is no need to discuss with the barbarians in Jiaozhou like Song, Ming, and Qing. Sinicization.

Now Datang can implement all kinds of Sinicization methods in Jiaozhou according to his own mind, and the barbarians can only choose two methods.

Either accept Sinicization obediently, or close the door and release Li Jing.

Uh... It is a bit exaggerated to close the door and release Li Jing. Li Jing is not so unpopular, and it is enough to release Yu Wenbao or Xue Wanche.

These two are killers who do things completely according to the mind of the above, regardless of the reason. It is enough for the two of them to go out and cooperate with the local government soldiers in Jiaozhou.

"Let merchants lure barbarians down the mountain and accept Sinicization?"

Feng An couldn't believe his ears for a while.

Is this something that businessmen can do?
They have so many smart people in Jiaozhou, and countless criminals who have been sent to Jiaozhou. They have nothing to do with those brainless barbarians. What can merchants do?
Li Yuanji nodded, and roughly explained his thoughts to Feng An.

After Feng An finished listening, he pondered over the feasibility.

After a long time, Ruo realized something and said: "This method is feasible, but it will take a lot of time, and it cannot meet the more convenient requirements His Highness said."

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "It's definitely not enough to just do it like this, but if you add the method you just said, wouldn't it be faster?"

While recruiting and assimilating those who can be recruited and assimilated, while attacking those who are stubborn.

Let those who have been recruited and assimilated also attack those who are stubborn. Under the triple target, those who are stubborn will collapse faster.

When the barbarians faced the Han people, they might unite as one and fight against the Han soldiers together.

But when facing their own people, I am afraid they will not be so united.

After all, without a common enemy, infighting is the eternal theme.

Feng An was taken aback when he heard this, then nodded and said, "That will indeed be faster..."

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you should discuss it with King Hejian."

Whether it is sending merchants to attract the barbarians, or entering into an marriage relationship with the female leader among the barbarians, it is a trivial matter, and it does not need him, the ruler, to do it himself, Li Xiaogong and Feng An are enough.

Anyway, two people are now in charge of shipping, and there are a lot of merchants under their hands that can be borrowed, so it is easy to do this kind of thing.

As for who to marry the female leader among the barbarians, let them choose by themselves, whether it is a prisoner assigned to Jiaozhou or a basic military officer in Jiaozhou, it is up to them.

"Here!"

Feng An hurriedly got up and bowed in agreement.

Li Yuanji smiled and waved his hand to signal Feng An to sit down and continue talking.

Afterwards, Li Yuanji discussed some details with Feng An, and asked Feng An to involve all such things as conspiracies and conspiracy when he went through Jiaozhou.

Just the barbarian's half-civilized head is not worth showing off in front of all kinds of conspiracies and schemes.

What kind of nobleman is deeply trapped in the barbarians, and is rescued by the barbarians, and wants to make the barbarians rich; what kind of wise man avoids disasters from the barbarians, casually instructing the barbarians to make a fortune by various means, and stand on the top of other barbarian villages! , can fool the barbarians to die collectively.

Anyway, as long as the mind does not slip, there are far more solutions than difficulties.

As for the prisoners assigned to Jiaozhou, if you let them succeed, they may not accomplish anything, but if you let them fail, or kill all the people in a certain place, then they will do better than loyal ministers and good generals.

After all, they are definitely professionals in such things as disregarding human life.

In the case of resorting to conspiracy to win over a group and then physically destroy a group, the speed of barbarian sinicization will be very fast.

After the barbarians were sinicized and registered in the local area, and the household registration was obtained, the number of Dingkou in Jiaozhou alone in the Tang Dynasty may reach 80 million households.

Some people may think this is an exaggeration, but it is not an exaggeration at all.

There were 200 million households in Dingkou registered in the Tang Dynasty, but there were probably more Dingkou households that were not registered and under the rule of the Tang Dynasty than there were registered households.

Not to mention the hidden households that still exist in various aristocratic families and wealthy families, just the Dingkou of the various affiliated tribes of the Tang Dynasty, and those in the three prefectures of Jing, Yi, and Jiao who were not recognized by the Tang Dynasty, or were unwilling to register in the Tang Dynasty The number of barbarians may reach 200 million households.

Li Jing conquered hundreds of thousands of barbarians in Jiaozhou alone, not to mention Jingzhou and Yizhou.

Although they suffered some damage during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the damage was far less than that of the Han people.

After all, whether it was the unification of the north and the south in the former Sui Dynasty or the unification of the whole country in the Tang Dynasty, they did not pay attention to the barbarians, nor did they use heavy troops against the barbarians. Except for the Turks and Tuyuhun in the north who came to ask for a fight, the southern The barbarians were barely harmed.

The biggest injury was also caused by Li Jing and Li Xiaogong when they conquered Nanliang and recruited Jiaozhou, but even if Li Jing killed people in the name of massacre, it was far from the killing that could be brought about by troubled times.

Therefore, the southern barbarians were hardly harmed, and their overall strength was well preserved, and the number of Dingkou was very large.

It's just that they have been living in the mountains, and they speak different languages. Many of them don't have their own culture, and they don't have much ambition. Otherwise, if they are unified and enter the Central Plains together, it will be a big trouble for the Central Plains.

This is also the greatest tragedy that a nation without its own culture must face.

This is also the greatest foundation for the Han nationality to continue.

After giving Feng An a lot of ideas and setting the tone for the strategy of Jiaozhou, Li Yuanji let Feng An leave the Taiji Palace.

When Feng An entered Beijing this time, apart from showing his loyalty to the imperial court, his biggest task was to take some important tasks from the imperial court and prove that he was still useful, lest the imperial court miss him.

Now that the two tasks have been completed, it is not good for him to stay in Chang'an City any longer.

After the willows on the Bahe River were all withered and yellow, and the persimmons in the forest were all hung up with lights, Feng An rode a horse and left Chang'an City with his entourage very low-key.

Not many people went to see them off, only Li Xiaogong was alone.

It's not that other people are unwilling to send them off, but that they don't have a deep friendship with Feng An.

It would be very mean to rush to see Feng An off.

Among the dignitaries in the DPRK, although there are many people who rely on Feng An to get rich because of the food shipped by sea, even so, they have to carry them when they should, otherwise a group of dignitaries with high status and status will go to send Feng An together. Ah, wouldn't Feng An become No.1 among the rich and powerful.

The most important thing is that if they go to 'flatter' Feng An together, they will not only appear despicable, but will also be feared by those in power.

Well, all of you are important ministers of the country, and you all gather around Feng An to pick Feng An up and down, what do you want to do?

Take Feng An as an enemy, and fight with the royal family?

Is it because you don't want to live anymore, or do you don't want Feng An to live anymore?
"Shh!"

In the left arsenal, Li Yuanji slashed down with a big knife in his hand. When the big knife was about to touch the ground, he quickly retracted the knife and stood with the knife, ending a day of morning training.

Since the reorganization of the palace guards, the left arsenal has been abolished, and the weapons stored in the left arsenal have also been transported to Xi Neiwan.

Li Yuanji ordered people to tidy up the left arsenal and it became his exclusive training ground.

After not practicing for a long time, some hands were raw, so after putting away the sword, Li Yuanji was still a little unfulfilled, but seeing Feng Zhidai bowing and waiting, it was hard for him to continue practicing.

Beckoning to Feng Zhidai, Feng Zhidai quickly came forward, patted the horse and said: "His Highness's saber skills are getting more and more exquisite, and I can feel the sharpness of His Highness's saber from a long distance."

Li Yuanji took the sweat towel from Zhao Chengyong's hand, wiped away the traces of sweat that hadn't come out at all, gave Feng Zhidai a blank look and said, "I remember that this is the first time you've seen me practice swords, right?
How did you see that my knife skills are getting better and better? "

Feng Zhidai looked embarrassed.

My lord, don't bring such a thing.

You clearly know that I'm sycophant, you just cooperate, why do you want to expose me?

This makes me how to shoot in the future? !
Li Yuanji didn't hold on to this matter, and changed the subject: "I called you here today to ask you, when your father left Beijing, I didn't see you off, does he have any complaints?"

Feng Zhidai's expression turned pale, and he shook his head without hesitation.

Not to mention that his father didn't complain, even if he did, he dared not admit it.

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "It's fine if you don't have it. It's not that I don't want to send it off, but it's not good for your father to go."

Feng Zhidai nodded quickly to express his understanding.

With Li Yuanji's current status, if he sent that military official out of Beijing, it would mean that this military official would risk his life for Datang. Tang Huo went with his life.

Although there is nothing in Jiaozhou that is worth his father's life...

"Besides calling you here this time, besides asking about this matter, there is another important task to be entrusted to you."

Li Yuanji stared at Feng Zhidai and continued.

Feng Zhidai quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, please give me instructions..."

Li Yuanji said: "Recently, Chen Shizhong and the officials of the Ministry of Rites have persuaded the envoys of Linyi and agreed to open a border market with Datang. I originally wanted to hand over this border market to your father, but your father has other ideas. It is a heavy task, so I am going to hand it over to you.

Are you confident? "

Feng Zhidai was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head in astonishment, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Li Yuanji pretended to be displeased and said, "Why, no confidence?"

Feng Zhidai hurriedly said: "No, I just didn't expect that His Highness would let me go back."

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "This is unexpected. Now that your father has entered Beijing, he has proved his loyalty, and your Feng family is known for being loyal and upright. If I keep you, it will make me look petty."

Whether Feng's rebellion actually has nothing to do with whether Feng Zhidai is a proton in the capital or not.

If Feng Shi wants to rebel, let alone Feng Zhidai is a proton in the capital, even if Feng Zhidai's other brothers are also protons in the capital, Feng Shi will still rebel.

Rebellion never ends because of one person or a few people.

Therefore, Feng An sent his son to the court as a hostage, at best it was just an attitude, not a restriction at all.

So if you really take the proton seriously, you will lose badly.

Now that Feng An has proved his loyalty, Li Xiaogong's people will go to Jiaozhou later, and the barbarians who conspired with Feng An in Jiaozhou can also restrain Feng An by the way, so there is no need to keep Feng Zhidai.

Staying any longer would not only make the imperial court appear petty, but would also make Feng An unhappy.

Although this unhappiness may not become a pimple, nor may it cause Feng An to rebel, but now that the imperial court wants Feng An to try his best to appease the barbarians in Jiaozhou, it must give Feng An some benefits.

Even if Feng An cared about being promoted to a noble position, the court would not be able to give it to him. After all, Feng An was already the head of a small state, and he was affecting Jiaozhou, a large state. If he was given authority, then his power If it's too big, it won't be easy to control.

Therefore, only Feng Zhidai can benefit Feng An.
