Chapter 50 The Queen Mother is immortal (50)

They didn't just plunder the grass and grain, and then ran away after grabbing the things. Ten thousand soldiers was a lot, but if they wanted to rely on these soldiers to destroy the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions and at the same time completely control the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, that would be It is basically impossible. There are not enough manpower to control the situation.

So I want to do this.

There must be support from the rear.

In addition, some of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were actually supported by the Huns, or they were the younger brothers of the Huns. If they were all wiped out, they would undoubtedly have to face the impact of the Huns.

This also requires some preparation in advance.

As for the relevant conditions, Zhu Yu and the others undoubtedly did not have it before, so it is not so much that they did not dare to act rashly, but that they had estimated that it would be difficult to get it perfect. They may need the help of the Queen Mother to clean up the mess and arrange manpower, and Watch out for the Huns.

They were not sure whether Bai Sheng had enough manpower to complete the final work and completely capture the Western Region, so they stopped and came back to report.

Bai Sheng finally realized at this time, yes, she has been climbing the technology tree for seven or eight years, and all the weapons have changed from iron tools to steel, and she has even equipped them with a lot of refined gunpowder. In addition, There are also a total of ten thousand troops. This kind of crushing can almost be said to be a transcendent era. If she can't deal with the small countries in the Western Region that are divided into thirty-six countries, her efforts over the years will not be in vain.

Taking into account Wei Qing's expedition this time, even if he cannot completely eliminate the Xiongnu, he should be able to cripple the Xiongnu, or at least be unable to recover for several years. If he can take this opportunity to completely destroy the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

And control the Western Region.

It will also be beneficial to completely destroy the Huns in the future.

So after thinking about it again and again, Bai Sheng said:
  "Your concerns are right. If you want to completely control the Western Regions, you don't just have to destroy the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. Different cultures and races are not so easy to assimilate and tame. They will have to be suppressed for at least more than ten years. "

"In this case, you can go back and rest first. These captive kings will stay here for the time being and will be handed over to Honglu Temple later. As for the specific methods of conquering the Western Regions.

Wait for the Aijia to discuss this with His Majesty.

You should have a good rest these days. It won't be long before I have to send you on another trip to the Western Regions. If it succeeds, the Ai family will ask you to be appointed a prince! "

"Thank you to the Holy Family of the Empress Dowager!"

Zhu Yu immediately showed joy, kowtowed her thanks and left.

In Daqian, it was not a treasonous thing for a woman to be granted the title of lord, as it had been done since the founding of the country.

Regardless of the reason why they were granted the title of marquis, the Marquis of Yin'an Qiu Sao, the Marquis of Linguang Lu Yu, and the Marquis of Mingnu Xu Negi, it is certain that they enjoy the same title and status as other male marquises. It is a pity that the three of them All were canonized during the reigns of Emperor Gaozu and Queen Lu.

Later, there were no more female marquises.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were no rules, and there was not even a decent enthronement ceremony. Not only were female princes able to be canonized, but male princes had no heirs after their deaths. Their mothers could also inherit the titles. Later, the so-called etiquette was rediscovered, and the country began to Pay attention to rules and decency.

This relative equality has gradually disappeared.

Although women can still be crowned kings, most of them only have honorary titles, which are still different from those of princes.

Bai Sheng has specially cultivated some capable women over the years, hoping that through them they can make meritorious deeds, help them obtain titles, and subtly make some changes.

Some excellent rules left by Emperor Gaozu.

Can't just forget it.    …

As soon as Zhu Yu left, Bai Sheng immediately sent someone to invite Emperor Jianyuan over and recounted the general situation to him. Then the two began to discuss how to completely win over the Western Region through cooperation, and what the benefits would be after winning the Western Region. divide. If successful, Zhu Yu would be rewarded with a noble title, and Bai Sheng also mentioned it to Emperor Jianyuan.

Emperor Jianyuan didn't hesitate before, but when Bai Sheng helped Zhu Yu ask for the title in advance, he hesitated.

He wholeheartedly agrees with Dong Zhongshu's theory of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues, that is, the king is the guideline for the ministers, the father is the guideline for the son, and the husband is the guideline for the wife. Even if Baisheng's identity and status were not special, he would not be able to cooperate with Baisheng, let alone He said that Bai Sheng had these rights, so he was really unwilling to grant a title to the woman Bai Sheng mentioned.

So after hesitating for a while, he said:
  "No matter how you become a lord, she is also Princess Yibi."

During the Warring States Period, Jun was originally the highest title for men, such as Bai Qi, Jun of Wu'an, and Huang Xie, Jun of Chunshen. However, in Daqian, Jun became an exclusive title for women, mainly used to ennoble relatives, the emperor's wet nurse, or powerful ministers. His mother's wife, Emperor Jianyuan, conferred the title of Lord of Pingyuan on his maternal grandmother, the Queen Mother's mother.

He also conferred the title of Xiuchengjun on his half-sister.

This kind of title only enjoys corresponding benefits, but does not have corresponding rights. No matter how it is equal to a princess, it is analogous to a prince, but it does not have the rights of princes and princesses.

"The Emperor Gaozu issued an edict that all the princes should be appointed to their official positions and be given gifts and gifts. Women and princesses should be the ones who live in the towns of the princes. They should be given seals and be given to the eldest family. Since they have meritorious service, why can't they be made princes? Instead, they should be granted more titles to their relatives. , a person of no merit.

Wouldn't it be humiliating if it were given to those who have meritorious service? "

After all, they were the talents she had cultivated. Bai Sheng could not tolerate the injustice of one of her own, so she immediately moved Gaozu out and directly used a super double to suppress the ancestors. Gaozu was the foundation of their old Liu family. Who could he refute? Nor can I refute Gaozu’s words.

Since Emperor Gaozu issued this edict.

Then no one can say that this is inappropriate.

At this time, Emperor Jianyuan had nothing to say. He could only roll his eyes very stiffly, and then said helplessly:
  "If she performs meritorious service, she should be granted the title of Marquis."

Wei Qing went straight to Longcheng, captured thousands of Huns, and was granted the title of Marquis within the Pass. If Zhu Yu made great contributions in wiping out the thirty-six Xiongnu kingdoms, she would naturally be qualified to be granted the title of Marquis. Now Emperor Jianyuan could only place his hopes on Zhu Yu himself made a mistake, or simply died on the battlefield, or he, the imperial grandmother, died prematurely.

Otherwise, I might really have to make him a marquis.

Bai Sheng was not a mind reader. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Emperor Jianyuan's attitude, at least he finally agreed.

So I was quite satisfied with serving tea to the guests.

After sending Emperor Jianyuan away, he began to carefully calculate who else he had in his hands who could participate in this battle, and get some credit along the way, as well as which craftsmen could be credited for their skills or could be of help.

It is too easy for people to ignore the contributions of craftswoman women and people with no status. If Bai Sheng doesn't help to ask for credit, who will remember them?
  Those who are unlucky may not even get the reward.

In this plan to destroy the thirty-six countries in the Western Region, Bai Sheng is planning to sneak them all out, participate in the plan, reward them based on their merits, and strengthen his own power!

At the same time, his subordinates must be more loyal.

After all, who doesn't like a boss who doesn't take any credit, but even helps them remember the credit and ask for credit?
