Chapter 127 Li Shimin, why do you still have two faces? (Please recommend tickets, thank you!!!)

"Immortal Master." Li Shimin was quite proud, "You don't know that Turkic is already in my pocket!"

"Oh? Are you very confident?" Jiang Sheng joked.

However, he did not doubt Li Shimin's words.

You know, in the original history, it was only a year later that Li Shimin took down the Turks.

And even now, in the second year of Zhenguan, there are constant disputes within the Turks.

Counting the days, there is already a deep gap between Xieli and Tuli.

The Tiele tribe was still making trouble for Jieli in the background, and Ashina Dubi himself was in a state of desperation.

In addition, Zhao Deyan and a group of Hu merchants "shone brilliantly" in the Turkic political arena, and the Turkic interior has long been a mess.

Jiang Sheng gave Li Shimin a few more ideas. As long as they are implemented properly, the people's livelihood in Turks will be paralyzed in a short time.

If this fails to solve the Turks this winter, Li Shimin can really go home and farm.

"Master Immortal, I went to the border in person a few days ago!"

"Those Turkic savages treat my banknotes as treasures!"

"If you want to do business with them now, you must have a bank note."

Li Shimin told Jiang Sheng in detail what he had seen and heard along the way.

Li Shimin was not angry but happy when those Turkic people spoke rudely to him.

The more so, the more he knew how defenseless the Turks were to paper money.

"And that rinderpest." Li Shimin turned his head to look at Yu Chigong, who had a great time drinking with Wang Ben, and said loudly, "Jingde! Tell the fairy master what you have done!"

Yu Chigong patted Wang Ben's shoulder beside him, signaling him to slow down first.

Although Wang Ben was a bit over the top at this time, he could distinguish the priorities, restrained his posture, and listened attentively.

"Master Immortal, I led a team of cavalry, disguised as a caravan, and went all the way deep into the hinterland of the Turks."

"There were countless Turkic tribes passing by along the way, and the collected cattle and sheep carcasses were scattered on the places where the herds were active."

"I didn't let go of the water source. Presumably, at this time, many cattle and sheep have already suffered from this plague."

"The Turkic people are probably still begging for the protection of their gods, hahahaha!"

Yu Chigong was very happy, and his expression was quite presumptuous.

Yingzheng didn't hear Fusu tell him about it, so he inquired about it carefully.

Meng Yi and Wang Ben also pricked up their ears, listening carefully to Li Shimin's explanation.

Li Shimin was naturally happy to show some limelight in front of Ying Zheng, and told the whole story.

"Hiss!" After hearing this, Ying Zheng gasped, "This is a desperate plan!"

Meng Yi and Wang Ben also had a hint of fear on their faces.

This move is too ruthless!

The Turks were originally nomadic peoples in the same line as the Xiongnu. How did the three people in Daqin not know the situation on the grassland?

As for the plague, it was even more distasteful.

Once the rinderpest spreads on the grasslands, without Li Shimin mobilizing troops, how many of these Turkic people will starve to death?

Will it spread?definitely!
Ying Zheng and the others had already seen the large number and density of cattle and sheep in the Xiongnu tribe.

In this environment, it is difficult for rinderpest not to spread.

Taking a step back, perhaps the Turkic people's territory is large enough, and there is no intersection between tribes on weekdays.

But I can't stand Yuchi Gong doing this!

All the big tribes he passed sprinkled the carcasses of sick cows.

Once these big tribes collapse, what kind of waves can the small and medium tribes below make?
Meng Yi and Wang Ben looked at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

The immortal master, when he is soft-hearted, considers the common people in the world, but when he is cruel, he is beyond ordinary people.

Hundreds of thousands of souls were buried in his single thought.

Among the people they knew, this ruthlessness was comparable to that of Wu An Jun Bai Qi.

"Do you think I've done too much?" Jiang Sheng asked after pondering for a while.

He could see all the expressions of the people present, he was afraid of alienating them, so he simply made the words clear.

Meng Yi and Wang Ben shook their heads. Although they thought Jiang Sheng's methods were a bit cruel, they were not pedantic.

The Qin people were harassed by the Huns, and they didn't have a good impression of the barbarians.

Especially after listening to Jiang Sheng's talk about the later generations, the chaos in China and the invasion of Japan made them hate foreign countries even more.

"This is the hatred of the country and the family, and the immortal master is not at fault for doing this." Ying Zheng sighed: "Since it is a war of the whole country, there is no room for personal affection!"

Changsun Wuji and Yu Chigong didn't object either, or else they would have advised Li Shimin not to do this.

Li Shimin also said: "Compassion does not command soldiers, since the Turks are going to harm the Central Plains, I can't tolerate them!"

"If you want to blame, you can only blame them for being born in the wrong place!"

In history, Li Shimin's attitude towards Yi Di has been repeated.

"Since ancient times, China has been valued and barbarians have been despised. I only love Ruyi."

This sentence is what he said, and it is indeed true.

But he also said: "Rong Di has a beastly face, and if he is slightly unhappy, he will definitely backfire."

"The lowly breed of Diyi has a human face but a beast's heart. If you are strong, you will invade the bandits. If you are weak, you will be subdued. They will not serve kindness and righteousness, and they will use their ears of prestige."

In fact, in Jiang Sheng's view, this is not repeated at all, Li Shimin is an old political master.

Only the barbarian who surrendered to Datang, he will "love as one".

Those who failed to be assimilated by Datang were beasts!

Of course, Li Shimin still made some mistakes later on.

For example, after conquering the Turks, they tried their best to relocate them to the first generation of Hetao, and even gave them a lot of preferential treatment.

However, Lao Li also regretted it later. After Ashinashe led the betrayal, Lao Li said this:
"The Chinese people are the foundation of the world. The people of the four barbarians are the same branches and leaves. If they disturb their roots with thick branches and leaves, they seek long-term security, but there is no such thing. At the beginning, they did not agree with Wei Zhengyan, but they felt that the labor cost was increasing day by day, and the long-term security was almost lost. way."

It is a pity that the later emperors of the Tang Dynasty did not learn their lessons and still reused Hu people. This caused the "Anshi Rebellion" and destroyed the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Now Jiang Sheng was not surprised when he heard Li Er's answer, but he was relieved:

"Old Li, you are right, let me tell you, don't forget what you said today!"

"For these barbarians, you must beat them until they are afraid of you. These barbarians are afraid of power but not moral, so don't try to influence them with love!"

"I've made a note of it!" Li Shimin said seriously.

"Hmph, I want you to remember it more deeply." Jiang Sheng simply told him about that period of history.

"In the original historical trend, after you defeated the Turks, you asked the ministers how to stabilize the frontier."

"At that time, there were three opinions. One was to break up the Turkic tribes, move them into the interior, and Sinicize them."

"The second is to preserve their customs and habits, and let the Turkic people relocate to Hetao as a whole, as a barrier for the Tang Dynasty."

"The third is to suppress them by force, send troops to assimilate them, or at least let them stay north of the Yellow River."

"Guess which one you chose?"

Jiang Sheng stared at Li Shimin with a smile.
