Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 491

The Tang court is dispatching troops and generals to escort food and grass to suppress the East Turkic rebellion.

East Turkic was not idle during this period of time, and launched attacks on Datang's defense many times.

Datang had been on guard for a long time and repelled the attacks of the Eastern Turks many times.

Seeing that there was no hope of raiding the Central Plains, the Eastern Turks instigated and lured Xi and Khitan to invade Yingzhou. Cao Tang Xiujing, a householder in Yingzhou, led his troops to defeat Xi and Khitan's invasion.

When the imperial court learned of this, the emperor was furious. Fortunately, after a month of preparations, Datang was finally able to send troops to quell the rebellion.

"Mr. Di, the Eastern Turkic rebellion has not yet subsided, and now that Xi and Khitan are invading Yingzhou again, what do you think His Majesty will do?" Li Jingxuan and Di Renjie met on the way to court, and Li Jingxuan asked.

They used to be officials of the East Palace, and they followed Li Chengqian all the way from the East Palace.

"How your majesty will handle this matter is your majesty's responsibility. As ministers, we only need to do our duty well, and we don't need to do meaningless things." Di Renjie did not express his opinion on this matter. Opinion.

Li Jingxuan saw that Di Renjie didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions. We have been colleagues for so many years, and we still don't understand each other's thoughts.

"See Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" In the early court, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs paid homage.

"Everyone is in peace!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Minister of Civil and Military Affairs Xie En stood up and knelt down.

"Your Majesty! Xi and Khitan were bewitched and lured by the Eastern Turks, and sent troops to harass our Datang Yingzhou. Please send troops to pacify Xi and Khitan."

"Use this to cut off the delusions of the Eastern Turks and defeat the conspiracy of the Eastern Turks!" The Minister of the Ministry of War came out and saluted.

"Xi and Khitan invaded my Datang's Yingzhou only because they were bewitched by the Eastern Turks. They were confused for a while and couldn't stand the temptation. There is no need for my Great Tang to mobilize people to go on expeditions."

"It only needs to send an envoy to solve the problem between Xi and Khitan. The most important thing now is to put down the Eastern Turkic rebellion."

"As long as the East Turkic rebellion is put down, Xi and Khitan will naturally be completely at ease."

"After a month of preparations, this time the Eastern Turkic rebellion is bound to be completely put down, and all efforts will be made to completely resolve the Eastern Turkic issue."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Wang Quan who was beside him, "Let's announce the edict!"

Wang Quan nodded, stepped forward and read out the imperial edict: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty: Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Pei Xingjian, who is both civil and military, is specially appointed as the general manager of the Dingxiang Road Marching, and he will lead the imperial servant Li Siwen, the governor of Yingzhou, Zhou Daowu and other troops. 18, together with Cheng Wuting of the Western Army and Li Wenxuan of the Eastern Army, etc., jointly attacked the Eastern Turks, and the book was made like the one on the right, and the letter was implemented."

"Minister Pei Xingjian (Li Siwen) is hereby ordered." Pei Xingjian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Siwen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, hurried out of the line to salute.

As for Zhou Daowu, the governor of Yingzhou, as well as Cheng Wuting of the Western Army and Li Wenyu of the Eastern Army, they are all on the front line. In addition to reading the edict here, they will also send other people to announce the edict to them.

After the emperor's edict was read out, Zhou Daowu, Cheng Wuting, Li Wenzhen and others would listen to Pei Xingjian's transfer.

This time, in order to completely solve the problem of the Eastern Turkic rebellion, Datang sent a total of more than [-] troops to crusade against the Eastern Turkic.

This is a feat that the Tang Dynasty has never done in the crusade against the Turks since the founding of the country, and it also proves how much Li Chengqian attaches importance to the suppression of the Eastern Turkic rebellion.

"I look forward to your triumphant return." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Pei Xingjian and Li Siwen saluted.

"Report to Your Majesty! There are quite a few Turkic people who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and they do not want to rebel with Ashi Dewenfu and the second rebel."

"Lingzhou sent an official letter, how should these Turkic people be dealt with?" A minister came out and saluted.

"Not all Turkic people want to oppose us, Tang Dynasty, there are still people who are loyal to Datang among the Turkic people."

"I passed an edict to the governor of Lingzhou. I decided to set up six prefectures in the southern border of Lingzhou, including Lu, Li, Han, Sai, Yi, and Qi, to accommodate these Turkic settlements and prevent the East Turkic incident from happening again." Li Cheng dry road.

"Since your majesty is worried that these Turks will rebel one day if they settle down, why not kill them all, cut the weeds and root them out, so as to avoid future troubles." The minister came out and said.

"Killing them all will not solve the problem, but it will also arouse the hatred of the Turkic people towards Datang, which will only be counterproductive."

"All the Turks who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty will be resettled in these six states. This time to suppress the Eastern Turkic rebellion, these six states can be used as the Tang Dynasty to transport troops and supplies, suppress Dewen Fu, and serve in the second department. transfer station."

"At the same time, in order to prevent the East Turkic incident from happening again, the Turkic settlements are placed in these six states, which can also rule and effectively manage the Turkic settlements, and allow them to serve as tax collectors for the Great Tang Dynasty."

"For Datang, this is beneficial and harmless. Why don't I do it? The Turkic people are brave and good at fighting. They are the source of cavalry for the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

The resettlement of these households can not only show the magnanimity of the Tang Dynasty, but also increase the number of people who pay taxes and serve for the Tang Dynasty, and also provide the Tang Dynasty with a source of troops.

The most important thing is the existence of these Turkic settlements, which can disintegrate the hearts of the East Turkic people invisibly.

It will be easier for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to fight against the Eastern Turkic rebellion. Some Turkic tribes who are unwilling to follow Ash Dewen Fu and serve in the second rebellion.

Seeing these Turkic surrenders, they will also surrender. In this way, the East Turkic rebellion can be completely suppressed and disintegrated in the shortest time.

This is tantamount to invisibly using these Turkic surrenders to recruit those Turkic people who are hesitant.

"Is there anything else you love to play?" After talking about some basic work, Li Chengqian asked.

"Report to Your Majesty! An official letter has been sent from the Persian Governor's Palace. The Persian Governor and Persian King Belus has passed away. The Persian Governor's Palace has requested the Persian Prince Nirvana to return to Persia."

"The envoys from Tubo sent news that the king of Tubo, Zanpu Mang Songmanzan, asked the court to confer the title of Zanpu's son Qi Nuxi Nong as the king of Tubo." Dian Ke ordered to come out and salute.

"Nirvana master." Li Chengqian said.

"Master Chen Ni Nirvana is here!" Hearing that his father had died, Master Ni Nirvana was very sad. When he heard the emperor's call, he hurriedly wiped away his tears, and hurried out of the line to salute.

"The King of Persia, Belus, has passed away. You immediately set off to return to Persia to inherit the throne of the King of Persia and become the governor of Persia." Li Chengqian said, looking at the Persian prince who grew up in Chang'an.

"I obey the order!" Master Nirvana saluted.

"Order General Zuo Xiaowei and Song Lingwen, a scholar of Xiangzheng, to go to Tubo to attend the funeral of Tubo Zanpu, and canonize Qi Nuxi Nong as the new Tubo king." Li Chengqian said.

"I obey the order!" Song Lingwen came out and saluted.

Seeing that the minister had nothing to report, Li Chengqian announced his resignation.
