The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 384 Tang Jun with Full Fighting Attributes
Yin Hongzhi soon brought his brother-in-law Yan Hongxin to visit Li You, and showed Li You his superb martial arts on the spot.

Then he came up with a comprehensive plan for recruiting and training strong men, including what excuses to recruit, how to hide from others, how to train, and so on.

It is said to be a strong man, but it is actually a private soldier.

Sure enough, Li You was persuaded by him and authorized him to take full responsibility for the matter on the spot.

Yin Hongzhi was very excited when he finally convinced Li You.

Once some things are done, there is no going back, and this is the case with training private soldiers.

It doesn't matter whether you are a prince or nobleman, or a prince or grandson, even if you are a prince.

Only the imperial court is eligible to recruit and train sergeants, and anyone else who touches them will die.

From the moment Li You agreed to recruit strong men, he had no way out.

Either succeed in seizing the throne, or fail to rebel, there is no other way to go.

Can he succeed in seizing the heir?Yin Hongzhi knows better than anyone that this is wishful thinking.

The queen's three sons are here, which round will they get someone else?
Even if these three prostitutes are all killed, as well as Li Ke, and other princes, the cruel and childish Li You will never be able to turn it around.

Not to mention how terrifying that woman in the palace is, only those who have personally contacted her will know.

Back then when Li Shimin was away in command of the army, she was alone among the Da Nei, the East Palace, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, mediating and maintaining the relationship between the Qin Palace and various factions.

Absolutely called a long-sleeved dancer, playing with countless people between applause.

On the day of the change of Xuanwu Gate, I personally sat at the gate with a knife, on the one hand, to calm people's hearts.

On the other hand, it is to lead the remaining palace maids and servants of Prince Qin's mansion, preparing to deal with possible enemies.

It is true that such a woman wants to snatch her son's throne.

There is only one way for Li You to rebel on the day he is discovered.

The father and son turned against each other, which would be a huge blow to Li Shimin's prestige.

It would be even better if Li You could stir up some other turmoil and cause instability when Li You rebelled.

In any case, Yin Hongzhi's goal has been achieved.

He just wanted to create conflicts and stains for Li Tang and avenge the family, and the consequences were completely out of consideration.

The elder sister in the palace and the nephew Li You were completely ignored.

Li You is Li Shimin's son, damn it.Concubine Yin forgot her family's enmity, and if she didn't want to take revenge together, she deserved to die.

Fearing that Li You would repent, Yan Hongxin acted quickly, bought a manor outside Chang'an, and recruited a hundred bad people to step up training.

This is only the first issue, for junior officers.

When they are well trained, more people will be recruited on this basis.

With the help of Yin Hongzhi to cover it up, the manor escaped surveillance smoothly, and everything seemed to be peaceful as usual.

However, it only seems so.

The Yin family was murdered by Li Yuan back then, and Yin Hongzhi escaped because of his young age.

But it was also because almost all the members of the family were killed that he could not receive a complete education.

Later, when he went to Qin Wangfu to work, he just learned how to be knowledgeable and how to do things.

There are many deeper things that no one taught him.

For example, if a prince refuses to entrust the land with an excuse, no matter how good your reason is, it will arouse suspicion.

If it were someone who had received systematic aristocratic education, he would never take chances on such things.

It's a pity that he didn't realize this, thinking that as long as the reasons he gave Li You were good enough, he wouldn't be exposed.

Little did they know that Li You had already become the brightest light bulb in Chang'an City, dazzlingly bright.

Only they thought they were hiding well.

Their actions will appear in the palace in time, as if they are transparent.

After Zhangsun Wugou received the information, murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he passed a note to Zhangsun Wuji.

Only three words were written on it: Yin Hongzhi.

Changsun Wuji knew what it meant after a little thought, and immediately started to act.

Naturally, Li Shimin immediately received the information that Li You had privately saved a strong man, and his face was livid with anger.

But the way he dealt with it was, wait.

But in private, more people were sent to monitor Li You and Yin Hongzhi, and fine-tuned the defense mission of the imperial army.

The generals related to Yin Hongzhi were transferred to the outer defense zone.

……

The list of the first batch of princes and kings was determined, which completely ignited the entire Chang'an, and spread throughout the Tang Dynasty with the release of the new Hope Month.

The common people were very excited, although whoever entrusted them had nothing to do with them, but gossip is human nature, and now they have more things to talk about after dinner.

This topic can go on for a long time, such as how these princes and kings build their own kingdoms, how to spend their days and nights, and so on.

This is also an opportunity for those underappreciated scholars.

A brand new vassal state will inevitably need a large number of officials, so will this be his opportunity?

First go to the vassal states to engage in politics, and then use it as a springboard to find a way to return to Datang when you have achieved results.

Even if the grades are not outstanding, you can complete the transition in status, from a commoner to an official, and the officials of the vassal states are also officials.

All many people were tempted and prepared to come to the capital to try their luck.

Of course, only a small number of people have this kind of courage, after all, the vassal state is a new thing.

Especially the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty are all outside the mainland, no one knows what is going on there, most people choose to wait and see.

The officials are relatively ordinary, and this matter really has nothing to do with them.

It's not their turn to be entrusted, and they are naturally unwilling to go to work there.

Letting the officials of the Tang Dynasty be improper, and going to the vassal states to become an official, that is something wrong with the brain.

The ones who are really excited are Xungui and the army.

No matter how many promises the imperial court made before and how much preparation it made in advance, as long as the first batch of lists is not completed, there is still the possibility of repetition.

Now that the list is down, that is the real finality.

The hearts of the nobles were completely relieved, and then they were looking forward to the next batch of enfeoffment, looking forward to when it would be their turn.

The army is boiling because the value of military merit has been substantially improved.

A large reason for the high combat power of the Tang army is because of the military merit system.

I have done meritorious service, and it can be exchanged for corresponding benefits immediately.

Countless young and middle-aged people dared to go to the battlefield to fight desperately in order to change their identities and achieve a leap in class.

We are not afraid of death, what we fear is that death is not worth it.

Xungui is indeed very valuable, but the valuable Xungui is not as valuable as the real vassal states.

Facing enfeoffment, the army is naturally the most excited.

The impact of enfeoffment doesn't stop there.

The soldiers fought more bravely, the number of Tang troops did not increase, and the combat effectiveness increased a lot out of thin air, which brought greater pressure to all the surrounding enemies.

Even some frontier soldiers have shown signs of restlessness in order to make military achievements.

As a result, many tribes living around the Tang Dynasty began to migrate to distant places on their own initiative, and those who could not move could only pay tribute to Beijing more actively.

The civil society has once again set off an upsurge of joining the army, and countless young and middle-aged people with dreams choose to join the army.

Datang turned into a wind-up machine in a very short period of time, just waiting for Li Shimin to press the start button.

……

The turbulence outside had no effect on Chen Jingke, and the high wall of Zixiao Temple blocked all the storms.

After sending Li Chengqian away, he first discussed with Wu Shu how to help the princes and kings build a feudal state.

Naturally, their family also has a map of the world. Chen Jingke drew it himself, and the young couple looked at the map for analysis.

Wu Shu frowned and said, "The Zhuzi Kingdom and the Ryukyu Islands are only the land of my Tang Dynasty, but it has to be divided into two kingdoms, two principalities and one marquis. The land is too small."

"No." Chen Jingke drew a circle on Honshu Island, Shikoku Island and the surrounding islands: "These lands will be the land of the five major feudal states in the future... but they are temporarily occupied by the Japanese Nu Kingdom."

"When we have completely conquered the entire island and wiped out the Wanu regime and the Ainu tribe, we will redefine the territories for the five countries."

Wu Shu had no doubts about this, nodded, pointed to the islands further north, and said, "Where are Yezo Island and Kuye Island? What are you going to do?"

Chen Jingke said: "Ezo Island will be entrusted to another prince and king. The harsh environment of Kuye Island is not suitable for establishing a feudal state. It will be directly under the Tang Dynasty."

"In the future, a supply base will be built here to ensure that the waterway to another continent is unimpeded. The envisioned North Sea Fleet will also use this as its headquarters."

He briefly introduced the future plan for the direction of Wonu Island. This plan was originally determined after Li Shimin listened to his opinion.

As for when it will be fully completed, that is a matter for the future.

At least for now, Datang, as the central empire, wants to occupy the key nodes and plan for the future global strategy.

Even if you won't be using it for a long time, plan it well.In order not to find that the road was blocked before when it is used in the future.

After a general understanding of the plan, the two officially began to discuss the issue of closure of the country.

Wu Shu said: "The most important thing in a fief is people and things. We can't do anything about population. We can only help with property."

If Taoism can help the princes and kings get the population, I am afraid that Li Shimin will be the first one who can't sleep.

It can provide some talents, but what the princes and kings lack most is the grassroots population, followed by management talents.

Chen Jingke thought for a while and said: "It's not that there are no people here. There are native people on the Ryukyu Islands. It is estimated that there should be between 3 and [-] people."

"These indigenous people are still living a primitive life, living separately in various places and islands as tribes, and have relatively little communication with each other."

"If you conquer them, you will be able to build the framework of the feudal state. At that time, you will be educated, giving them Han names, wearing Han clothes, and speaking Chinese..."

"Another one or two thousand households immigrated from the Central Plains will live and intermarry with them, and within ten years these primitive people will become Chinese."

"Taoism can send some people with good language talents to learn their language in order to spread the Taoist belief... Once these people convert to our teaching, the follow-up operations will be very easy."

Wu Shu nodded again and again: "This method is good. It not only spreads my teachings, but also helps the princes and kings to absorb the natives to solve the population problem... It's just that this method may not work well for the people of the Zhuzi Kingdom."

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "It is useful, why is it useless. You underestimate the strength of the Central Plains civilization and its attraction to the surrounding vassal states."

"As long as we admit that they are part of China, they will eagerly integrate into us."

"I wrote in the book "Chinese Civilization" that the people in the entire Wonu area are descendants of the pre-Qin period."

Xu Fu led [-] boys and girls, as well as many boatmen and soldiers, to the Wonu Island, where they married the local aborigines and evolved into the current Wonu people.

Datang has consciously spread the book "Chinese Civilization", and almost no vassal congress denies it.

On the contrary, they were all very happy.My ancestors have been barbarians for generations, and they have suddenly become descendants of China, how could they be unhappy.

"Besides, the Zhuzi Kingdom was wiped out and enslaved by the Wonu Kingdom before. The people there hated the Wanu Kingdom very much, but they were also afraid of the strength of the other side...they will only move closer to us."

"The Lord Zhuzi is willing to give up three-fifths of the land to Datang, because he hopes that we will establish a feudal state there and help them resist the invasion of the Japanese slave state."

Speaking of this matter, Wu Shu still couldn't believe it, and said: "These lands were really given up by Lord Zhuzi on his own initiative?"

Chen Jingke said affirmatively: "This can be false. At that time we said that we would build several feudal kingdoms here, and the Lord Zhuzi was happier than anyone else."

Wu Shu was puzzled and said, "Why? That's his country."

Chen Jingke explained: "Those lands were not originally from the Zhuzi Kingdom. The small land on the Onu Island was divided into hundreds of countries at most, and the smallest was not as big as a village on our side."

"There were several countries on Chikushi Island in the earliest days, but they were conquered by the Japanese slave country... My Tang Dynasty only helped the Chikushi country to restore the country, and the other countries perished by default."

"At that time, for the convenience of management, the entire Chikushi Island (Kyushu) was temporarily placed under the management of the Chikushi Kingdom. In fact, the people of those countries did not recognize the Chikushi Kingdom.

"Especially the last time when Su Wo came into the deer and the Lord Chikushi escaped alone, he completely lost his support."

"Those places are actually managed by Datang's ocean-going fleet. It is said that Lord Chikushi let it out, but in fact it is just an excuse for legitimacy."

That piece of land originally belonged to the Japanese slave country. If the Tang Dynasty sent troops to occupy it and then divided it into princes and kings, it would be too unpleasant to say it, and it would cause panic in some vassal states.

Now pretend that these lands belong to the Zhuzi Kingdom, and then they will take the initiative to send them to Datang for asylum.

At least the face can be said in the past, and there is no problem with the legal system.

Wu Shu suddenly realized: "So that's the case. Thinking about it this way, the people there should also welcome the princes and kings of the Tang Dynasty."

Chen Jingke said: "Yes, I heard that the Tang Dynasty wants to establish a vassal state here to rule, and the people there welcome it very much."

The few nobles who are not welcome are also afraid of losing power, and then they really lose power.

Not only power, but some who were more repulsed by Datang even lost their lives.

And it is Liu Rengui, captain of the Datang Navy stationed in Zhuzi Kingdom, who controls all of this.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but praise: "Liu Rengui really deserves to be a great talent when he gets on the horse, and when he gets off the horse."

"It is indeed a rare talent." Wu Shu didn't know these things very clearly, so he didn't feel deeply, so he simply echoed and asked:

"How many people does the imperial court plan to give to each vassal state?"

Chen Jingke said: "There are two thousand households in the Kingdom, fifteen hundred households in the Principality, one thousand households in the Marquis State, and five hundred households in the Uncle State and below."

Wu Shu thought for a while, and said: "This number is indeed good. It can not only allow the princes to put up airs, but it will not cause too much loss to the court."

"It's also good for my teaching. Just let the preacher go there to preach, and then send some farm tools, cattle and other resources."

Things are easier said than done.The most troublesome thing is to appease the local people and complete their education.

Even if Taoism is very good at doing this, it can't be done in a while, it can only be done slowly.
