Capital Datang

After Tang destroyed the Beiting of the Western Turks, he immediately sent an army of [-] Han people into the Beiting. Instead, the Great Khan of the Western Turks divided the Western Regions controlled by the Western Turks into two parts. The eastern side next to the Tang Dynasty was assigned to the Anxi Protectorate, and the western side was assigned to the newly established Northern Territory. The court is under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate.It is worth mentioning that Weihai has been included in Beiting Protectorate.

The two capitals of Anxi and Beiting have a large area, and they are all Hu people of various ethnic groups. Although there are a small number of Han people, most of them are doing business here, and few Han people live here. Generally speaking, if you want to live here It is very difficult to strengthen the rule of this kind of place.

However, Li Shimin has a ready-made reference object, that is Li Yin's experience of ruling various places overseas. Although the mainland is different from overseas, as long as there are slight changes, there will be no major problems.

First of all, in the name of promoting enlightenment, Li Shimin promoted Sinicization in the three major guard houses of Anxi, Beiting, and Anbei. It is divided into four grades, and each grade needs to have a corresponding Chinese level.

Compared with overseas countries, these countries around the Great Tang have longed for the prosperity of the Central Plains and admired the Central Plains. Therefore, in the process of promoting Sinicization, most people not only did not resist, but cheered for it, and even Some big businessmen of the Hu nationality also volunteered to help Datang build schools and roads in the local area.Capital Datang 557

However, when the above news reached Li Yin's ears, he felt extremely depressed, thinking that when he promoted Sinicization in Japan, Luzon, Linyi and other places, he was suppressed by the army and lured by interests, and exhausted all means. Only then can the Sinicization policy be implemented.But looking at the Tang Dynasty now, it's all about one sentence, and all the Sinicization policies have been implemented smoothly.

In fact, this is not surprising. First, those places have been affected by the Central Plains for thousands of years. Second, the Tang Dynasty is indeed extremely powerful. While these people are envious, they also desire to become Tang people, so the implementation of Sinicization is so smooth. Also within reason.This is the result of millennialization effects.No matter how envious Li Yin is, it's useless.

However, in order to stabilize the rule of the three major protectorates, it is not enough to simply implement Sinicization. After all, the impact of Sinicization is too slow, and the effect will not be seen within a few decades.So Li Shimin copied Li Yin's second trick, which was to garrison troops in different places.He transferred the local troops from Anxi and Beiting to the Anbei Protectorate to help him guard the prairie people.Then he transferred the prairie army of the Anbei Protectorate to the Western Regions. In addition, the officers in these foreign armies were all Han Chinese, and the continuous stream of military school graduates made him not worry that no one would be available.

Of course, whether it is the northern grasslands or the Western Regions, there are a lot of Han troops stationed there, and they are all elite troops.It can ensure that in the event of a foreign army rebellion, it can be suppressed in time.However, these troops are only temporary. After the rule of the three capitals is stabilized, the number of Han troops will be gradually reduced.After all, stationing a large army in such a far place requires a lot of annual consumption.

After Li Shimin explained the situation of Anxi, Beiting, and Anbei to Li Zhi, there was a hint of worry on his excited face and he said: "Now the Sinicization of the three major guards is going smoothly, but because This is the first time that Datang implemented the Sinicization policy. Therefore, the officials sent there were a little unfamiliar, which also led to problems during the implementation process. Although the impact is not great now, my father is worried that it will follow the Sinicization in the future. What kind of adverse consequences will it produce if it goes deeper?"

Hearing his father's worry, Li Zhi suddenly had an idea, and after thinking about it for a moment, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Father, my son has thought of a way, but I don't know if it is feasible?"

"Oh, pheasant slave, what can you do?" Li Shimin asked in surprise, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that the decision to let his son go out for an excursion this time is indeed correct, at least his brain is much easier to use than before.

I saw Li Zhi chuckled, and said the method he thought of, but Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing it, and finally pointed at Li Zhi and said: "Pheasant slave, pheasant slave, you even plan on your sixth brother. Are you not afraid that he will trouble you when we meet next time?"

Li Yin, who was far away in Taiwan, soon received a letter written by Li Shimin, but after reading the contents of the letter, he frowned suddenly, because Li Shimin discussed with him one thing in the letter, and then I just want to exchange some officials with him, and I also ask that the officials sent by Li Yin should preferably be officials with experience in promoting Sinicization, because these officials will be sent to the three major guards in the Western Regions and Grasslands to be responsible for promoting Sinicization. .

For this matter, Li Yin was naturally unwilling, because after he exchanged the officials who promoted Sinicization, he exchanged some officials sent by Datang. It takes a long time to get used to.Although the officials he sent to Datang will face the same problem, what Datang needs is their rich experience in promoting Sinicization, so it is obvious that Datang took advantage of this matter.

Another point is that when Li Yin sends a group of experienced officials, his Sinicization policy in Japan and other places will definitely be affected, and as those officials promote Sinicization in the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely bring out a group of officials who promote Sinicization Experienced officials, even if these officials return to Taiwan in the future, Datang will also earn a group of experienced officials, so no matter from which aspect, Li Yin has suffered a loss.

Although Li Yin didn't mind helping Li Shimin in the promotion of Sinicization, it was on the basis of his voluntary, but now he was calculated by Li Shimin's method, which made Li Yin feel a little uncomfortable.It's a pity that he didn't know that this method was thought up by the ninth brother he had just sent away.

But Li Yin's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of, especially when he doesn't want to.So he quickly replied to Li Shimin with a letter. Although the letter agreed to the proposal of exchanging officials, he made some modifications. For example, the exchange of officials cannot be done at the ratio of one person for one person, but three people from the Tang Dynasty. , the proportion of one person from Taiwan, and the exchange period is only three years. After three years, these officials must choose for themselves, and neither side can embarrass these officials.

After the proposal revised by Li Yin was sent to Chang'an, Li Shimin laughed again, and then called Li Zhi to let him watch it. After watching it, Li Zhi smiled helplessly and muttered: "It seems that Brother Six is ​​really cheap." It’s not easy to take advantage of, those officials sent out are used to life in Taiwan, so it’s strange that they will come back in the future!”

The exchange of officials is just a trivial matter, and Li Yin didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he has been busy since last year. Malacca has just stabilized, and the development of Ceylon Island has also been on the right track. As for Li Zhen and Li Yuna On the other side, they defeated the coalition forces of the surrounding small countries very easily, and are now doing something ghostly and Chongchong. I heard it is very interesting.

In addition to the above things, Li Yin has to prepare for an upcoming event, which is the American exploration fleet led by Lu Wan.Now Lu Wan is moving around, looking for some of his former brothers, hoping to persuade more experienced people to join the exploration fleet, and it may take another month to return.

Now most of the people participating in the fleet have arrived at the base, and the exploration ship specially designed for them has also been built. After Lu Wan and his team are all here, they will be sent to the open sea for a trial voyage, and by the way let the crew familiarize themselves with it. Take a look at the performance of the new ship.In addition to ships, there are also some nautical tools and supplies, the most important of which are food and drinking water.

Li Yin from later generations knows that the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world, and it will take at least a few months to cross it to the Americas, and Lu Wan and the others have to go along an unknown ocean current. Whether there will be islands on the road, so the food and drinking water prepared on board must be sufficient. For this reason, Li Min also specially asked people to study several kinds of foods that are easy to preserve and nutritious. Just increase the water storage capacity on board.

A month later, Lu Wan finally came back with a group of old brothers, but Feng Shijie was not here, because he came to Keelung last year. I often deal with Li Yin.In addition, he also went to the palace to meet his younger sister Feng Shuyu several times, trying to persuade her to marry again, but the other party shook his head and remained silent.Capital Datang 557

After the crew of the fleet arrived, the ships also went out of the shipyard. This time there were eight seagoing ships. In order to build this ship, Li Yin organized the best shipbuilders from Taiwan, Dengzhou and other places. It took more than half a year to complete the construction. It can be said that these ships represent the highest sailing technology of the Han people. The hulls of the ships are made of high-quality pine trees. Withstand the impact of big wind and waves.

After a few days of sea trial and inspection, Lu Wan felt very satisfied with these built ships. After Li Yin's consent, all their crew members boarded their respective ships, and then they were pulled to Luzon Island for inspection. The sea trial, and this sea trial will take a long time, it is estimated that it will take at least two months to return, and the ship is full of food and drinking water, and even during the sea trial, they will try to avoid landing, although Simulate the real environment of crossing the Pacific Ocean, let the crew adapt temporarily, and prepare for the next exploration of the American route.
