A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 560

"The governor must beware of those who can be saved."

Li Jinyan reminded Wu Huaiyu, "The more humble he is, the more he shows his ambition. Everything is a disguise."

"I know."

Li Jinyan smiled and said again, "But I heard that his daughter is quite beautiful, and she can talk about Xiqin very well. But the eldest son of Keduzhe worshiped the governor as his adoptive father, and now he is going to give his daughter to the commander-in-chief as a foster father." Concubine, this generation is messed up, what should you call them when they meet?"

Huaiyu shook his head.

People like Kedu are ambitious, but they are also very smart and aware of current affairs. It's just that this kind of person is a grass that falls with the wind, and will never have true loyalty. Tang, in his eyes the strong are respected,
There is no faith at all.

Tuli Na, the old master for many years, also turned his back without hesitation. One moment he was fighting side by side, and the next moment he left without saying hello.

This time the Savior came to Youzhou, he did one more thing.

He brought Tutun, who had been sent by Tuli to the Xi tribe, directly to Youzhou, and all the tribes of Tutun sent them back to Jinlianchuan.

The Turkic Khanate commanded the Xi and the Khitan tribes. They not only granted King Xi and others as jin, but also sent Turkic aristocrats to serve as Tutun, with troops stationed as guardians, and tax collection and military service.

Kedu turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and immediately stopped allowing Tuli to send Tutun and garrison troops in Xibu, and naturally he would no longer pay taxes and perform military service.

Of course, this guy sent the stationed in Xi Tutun, but on the other hand, he offered to invite Datang to send officials and troops.

"Li Kedu really wants to beat Beishan Zhu Xi?"

"Looking at him, he does have that intention,"

This incident was unexpected by Wu Huaiyu. Beishan Xi is making a lot of trouble now. They are unwilling to accept the new boundary line drawn by Wu Huaiyu, and they are unwilling to move away from Tanghe, Puhe, Liuhe and other valleys and mountainous areas. Now even those who can save King Xi don't want to obey.

They want to elect a king of their Beishan Xi tribe.

To these people, the Youzhou Governor's Mansion will naturally not be polite. After all, most of these Beishanxi have been included in the Youzhou territory.

But after all, they are ridicule people, and the people who can be saved have just led their subordinates, so they still have to give some face, but now the people who can be saved are so active in showing their loyalty,
"The Kedu people want to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and use these Beishan Xi to show their loyalty to the imperial court."

There are more than ten small tribes in the five major tribes of Xi. The big tribes have three to five thousand soldiers, and the small tribes have thousands or eight hundred soldiers. The entire Xi tribe has hundreds of thousands of households, and its strength is still quite strong.

Although their tribal alliance is relatively more advanced than the Khitan, and King Xi has greater power, it is a tribal alliance after all, and Duzhe, King Xi's greatest authority, actually comes from the Ahui tribe he directly leads.

He himself usually has only five hundred soldiers, known as Yiluohe, and he is called a strong man in ridicule, which is equivalent to the attached wolf rider of the Turkic Khan.

If you want to fight, then the various ministries will form an alliance, discuss sending troops, and recruit herdsmen.

In the two battles of Jiujiuquan and Yehuling, the Xi army who followed Tuli suffered heavy casualties. They sent ten thousand troops, but only less than a third of them returned.

Such a large number of casualties and failures even shook the ruling authority of the young King Xi, so he decisively abandoned Tuli and attached himself to Datang, and even now offered to be the vanguard to fight Beishan Xi.

Beishan Xi has already disobeyed his royal orders, and these people even openly accused him. If they want to overthrow him, they will become enemies. If Beishan Xi is united with the Tang Dynasty to destroy Beishan Xi, firstly, he will show his loyalty to Tang Dynasty, and secondly, he will re-establish the authority of King Xi In addition, some of Beishanxi's tribe's population and livestock can be annexed to restore some of the strength of the Ahui tribe.

"Or just let the Kedu people clean up the house themselves, and then the people and livestock will belong to him, and the land will belong to us."

The lame Peng Weizhong listened for a long time and gave a suggestion.

Tang Fengxiao, the Kunlun slave, immediately objected, "No, I think this is actually a pretty good opportunity. In the name of the Anton Governor's Mansion, we can recruit Tuli, Keduzhe, and Dahemohui from the 24 prefectures. Fan Hu soldiers and horses marched together to encircle and suppress these Beishan Xi,

At that time, the land will be owned by the Tang Dynasty, and the tribal population, livestock, money, silk, etc. will be divided into half from the Tang Dynasty, and half from the remaining soldiers.
Taking this opportunity to raise the banner of the Anton Governor's Office, it was also a good chance to scare the monkeys with them. After the war, it was a matter of course for them to send out the Governor's Office, the Prefectural Colonel, station troops and build post roads, etc. "

"Feng Xiao's words are very suitable for me," Huaiyu said with a smile.

The Anton Governor's Mansion commanded [-] soldiers, and the [-] soldiers were to be stationed outside the pass, that is, to be stationed within the three tribes of Xi and Khitan, and the other part to be stationed at the border of Liaohe in Yingzhou.

Only by garrisoning troops can we truly ensure the submission of the Tibetans and the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Huaiyu even hopes that Xi Qidan Turks and others can be divided into as many prefectures as possible, and government offices are set up on top of the prefectures. Has the right and obligation to recruit all ministries to fight together.

In each Jidu Governor's Mansion, the governorship is rotated by the leaders of each department, and the imperial court canonizes them. The alliance is held once or twice a year. This is similar to the Mongolian alliance flag system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is to divide them and prevent them from having another great Khan.

Divide the tribes for self-government, and even divide large tribes into several states for self-government. If they are not allowed to unite and unite again, then naturally they can only submit to the Central Plains Great Tang.

Of course, the conditions are still immature if we want to achieve it in one step. First, we must set up the governor's mansion and the state, and the Tang Dynasty will send officials and garrison troops, but it still has to be implemented.

Beishanxi is indeed a good opportunity.

The majesty of Tang Yehuling's defeat of Turkic Jieli Khan is still there, and they dare not disobey.

In the name of preventing Xieli's retaliation, Datang sent officials to garrison the various tribes, which is justified, and they can reluctantly accept it, after all, the threat of Xieli does exist.

"I have a proposal to move all the Sogdian Hu settlements in the ten prefectures of Youfu to these Xishan Beishan territories, and also to eliminate the internal troubles in Youfu." Peng Weizhong said.

Po Kang, who had been listening to everyone talking, couldn't sit still.

He is also Sogdian Hu, and he was the richest man in Boling before, and his family is also Sabao of Boling Sogdian Hu.

"Captain, we Sogdian Hu moved eastward during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Many people have settled down for hundreds of years, and we have always been good citizens."

"I don't have any objection to Kang's participation in the army, but many Sogdian settlements are indeed disobedient to the king. They live together, build ao temples, believe in Zoroastrianism, and even enforce the Hu Law in the Central Plains. Armed, etc., how can they be called good citizens?
Just like He Mingyuan and the others, with three thousand families of Sogdian Hu, occupying three hundred miles in Yanshui in just ten years, they are completely a country within a country.
Many Sogdian settlements are like this now. In the eyes of those Sogdians, there is no national law, or even the imperial court. They are always a hidden danger, unless they can really live scattered in cities and villages and fully abide by the court laws.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they moved all the Sogdian Hu settlements in the ten prefectures of Youfu to the old land of Beishanxi, scattered them again, and formed new villages with the subordinate Beishanxi, Turks, Mohe and some Han people. "

Many ethnic groups live together and enrich the frontier.

Then after their original settlements moved out, their fields could also be sold or become officials, and the land could also be distributed to some landless Han people.

In addition, on the old land of Beishan Xi, post stations, Tunpu, Shouzhuo, etc. were set up, and officials and soldiers were stationed. The soldiers' families were resettled with the army, and the land was allocated. , Do not mix with Zhuhu.

Peng Laizi's meaning is obvious. These military fortresses are the key to controlling Beishan, and the family members of the army can form a more reliable stronghold if they live together and don't mix with Fanhu.

Kang Po objected very much, thinking that the Sogdian Hu settlements like Mingyuan are a minority after all, and most Sogdian settlements are also engaged in business and handicrafts in peace, so it would be unfair to force them to be relocated like this.

"Kang Canjun is right. As long as the registered households are equal to the people, and they serve and pay taxes, they are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty. We should follow the principle of voluntariness. We can encourage Sogdian Hu to move to the north of the mountain, but it is all voluntary.

If they still want to stay in the old place, we can’t evict them by force,” he said.

Wu Huaiyu expressed his position. He also said earlier that the Sogdian Hu autonomous settlement is a cancer that must be eliminated, so now Youzhou not only wiped out He Mingyuan's [-] Sogdian Hu families with thunder, but he has no sympathy.Since then, governance has also been carried out in depth. The main thing is to change the settlements into townships, register the households and register the people, measure the land and register, and then serve in the army and pay taxes. It is even required that these Sogdian settlements must set up social studies and teach Chinese characters and Chinese.

Sabao and priests in each settlement must also be appointed by the government, and they are prohibited from owning armed forces, etc.

These are unfolding,

However, he didn’t want the Sogdian Hu to move to Shanbei because there were many Sogdian Hus besides Beishan Xi in Shanbei. Another thing, after defeating Beishan Xi, this land still belonged to the newly conquered frontier and was still under weak control. area, especially the border area with Xi,
If the Sogdian Hu is relocated, then there will be too many Fanhus such as Sogdian Hu and Beishan Xi, which is not conducive to the control of the newly conquered areas.

The best control is to change the main ethnic group, try to move as many Tang people as possible, and then break up the Fanhu and live together.
The best way to deal with the hidden dangers of the Sogdian Hu is actually to dismantle these small autonomous settlements one by one, and then disperse them into the villages and towns of the Tang Han people, so that they will be surrounded by the vast ocean, and they will assimilate after a long time.

An individual without organization cannot achieve much power.

"Where is Cui Shilang?" Wu Huaiyu asked.

"still on the way,"

"Tuli Khan should be arriving in Chang'an soon, right?"

"Well, it's almost time."

"Has Songmo Governor Li Mo arrived?"

"It should be arriving soon."

Li Jinyan, who was wearing a mask covering half of his burned face, asked with a smile, "The daughter of the saver, the governor will not refuse, right?"

Peng Laizi said, "Why do you refuse this good thing? Is it to make the Kedu people feel that the governor despises them or looks down on them?"

"Both public and private, the governor should accept it with a smile. I think today is a good day. Why don't we go to give gifts and welcome the relatives together, and the governor will be the bridal chamber tonight?"

"It's a good day."

These shogunate officials were very unhappy with each other's comments. Wu Huaiyu was quite helpless. He had never seen the daughter of King Xi.

But looking at them, he also knew that it was really not good to reject someone who could be saved, especially when someone extended a warm face to you, but you stuck a cold butt, which would make no one feel comfortable.

They still have to be used, and Beishan Xi must be taken down.

"Accept it, the governor is so young, and there are so many concubines, are you afraid of having one more?"

"Okay," Wu Huaiyu waved his hand.
