Chapter 112 The origin of Turks

What kind of existence were the Turks to the Tang Dynasty?
He definitely loved and hated him, after all, from the beginning to when Emperor Li Yuan raised his army.

Without the help of the Turks, it is absolutely impossible for the Tang army to achieve a very good result among so many rebels.

That must be a very difficult thing. After all, Li Yuan was slow to raise troops at that time and was based in Taiyuan.

Taiyuan was in the northernmost part of the Sui Dynasty to guard the Turks. If something happened to Taiyuan's troops, the entire Central Plains would be in danger.

Therefore, it can be said that for Li Yuan, it was a situation of internal and external troubles. He wanted to save the King of Qin, and he also wanted to resist the Turkic invasion. After all, the Tang Dynasty was currently in civil strife. If Li Yuan had not taken action, the Tang Dynasty would definitely have Precarious.

So at that time, Li Yuan wanted to cooperate with the Turks, but the Turks gave me a condition at that time, that is, if you want to cooperate with me, then you have to become the king, you have to be self-reliant, and you cannot become the Sui Dynasty. The emperor of the dynasty.

Because the Turks also need benefits. After all, if you become the emperor, then our benefits will definitely be greater.

At first, Li Yuan did not agree. It was Prince Li Jiancheng and King of Qin Li Shimin who tried hard to persuade him, saying that it was absolutely undesirable to serve the former dynasty again when the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits.

After careful consideration, Li Yuan considered the matter and finally agreed.

Then the Turks mobilized thousands of elite soldiers without saying anything, and then sent you thousands of war horses, and then directly supported Li Yuan's cavalry rebellion.

Until Li Yuan invaded Chang'an and proclaimed himself Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks had actually given them tremendous help.

But in the later period, Li Yuan may feel that after he became the emperor, he and the Turks gradually broke up, and finally the Turks took the initiative to attack.

From the second year of Zhenguan to the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin led troops to fight back the Turks, dispersed the Turks, and killed the Khan.

In terms of power and strength culture, the Turks back then were definitely stronger than the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was oppressed in the Central Plains at that time, and they did not have the horses needed for cavalry.

But later, through Li Shimin's heroic management, the military power of the Tang Dynasty slowly increased, and then it led to the current grand situation.

It can be said that some events in history have their reasons, and they are not chaotic.

If there were no Turks back then, then there would be no current Tang Dynasty. If there were no Turks back then, then it would definitely be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to be established on such a huge scale.

But later the interests of the two sides conflicted, and the two sides went in opposite directions, which led to Li Shimin later sending troops to attack the Turks, but this was also a victory for the Central Plains people.

Since the Turks were dispersed, the Tang Dynasty officially became the most powerful dynasty in the Central Plains, and the Turks were also dispersed into East Turks and West Turks. The East Turks were destroyed and the West Turks became subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

Since then, countless grassland frontier dynasties have submitted to Li Shimin.

The Tang Dynasty also became the most powerful at that time. It was a rare dynasty in the entire history when the whole dynasty and all the kingdoms came to the dynasty.

Then the rule of Zhenguan's prosperous age was established.

It can be said that this dynasty is a dynasty that countless literati and historians yearn for.

No one can imagine how powerful this dynasty was. Li Shimin, a dynasty that relied on force to build a country, was gathering local forces.

It can be said that the power of the Tang Dynasty at that time was unmatched by the world.

If there is really a problem with the Turks, then the Tang Dynasty has already provided assistance in accordance with the governance of the motherland, so there is no problem.

Although Lin Tangqing had doubts, he still handed these things to his superiors, and the superiors also handed them over to Li Shimin.In the palace, Li Shimin also received this memorial and frowned slightly after reading it.

After all, he has a clear understanding of the current internal situation of the Tang Dynasty.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Revenue was too poor to get any cash, and finally got money. If you Turkic people really need coins, then I can't give them to you now.

All my money comes from donations from the people. I can't use the money the people give me to help you.

However, we also took into account the relationship between a vassal state and a vassal state.

If you don't give it, it seems that the Tian Khan of your motherland may not be friendly to these frontier grasslands.

After all, he also has Hu blood.

Sometimes he just relies on the Hu people's blood to get closer to the Turks and the grassland people.

Everyone knows that Turks and grassland people are very powerful in combat. If they can get along reasonably, it will definitely be good.

But after some thought, Li Shimin agreed to the matter.

After all, we still don’t know the true nature of the matter.

Then I can really mobilize some of the past, but maybe not much.

If you need to see this year's fiscal revenue, you can mobilize more as appropriate. After all, your country's difficulties and difficulties must be understood by the other party.

Every country cannot be very powerful. If it can provide assistance, then provide assistance to a certain extent.

After all, after so many years of friendship, if it was really too much of a disaster, then Li Shimin had no choice but to let the people below write.

Then let them send envoys, and then the matter will be settled.

After completing this matter, Li Shimin had almost finished handling the government affairs that he had to deal with today. He then came to Yiqiu Palace where Li Lizhi was.

Li Lizhi is the most favored princess of Changle Princess Li Shimin, and it is even said that there is no other princess.

Back then, he even tried to destroy Li Lizhi's sanity by more than tripling the size of Li Lizhi's wedding and the items that came with her marriage.

The size is much larger than that of Princess Jianing, who was about to get married.

But Princess Jianing is Li Yuan's daughter after all, and Li Lizhi's aunt after all, so it must not be higher than that standard.

But there was still no way, after all, Li Shimin doted on her very much, but after the persuasion of his courtiers, he gave up the idea.

Then Princess Jianing's wedding was an unprecedented event, which shocked the Tang Dynasty for a while. It was conceivable that all the people would bid based on the current scene, which was already a very huge amount.

But if Princess Changle is to be married to Princess Changle, or Li Shimin wants to marry Princess Changle, two or three times the standard, then you can imagine how powerful she is and how much money she will waste!

Therefore, the ministers at the time felt that their admonition was still necessary, and then Li Shimin came to Li Lizhi's palace.
