ps: Thanks to brothers Yifeng, sailorren, eagleduke and other brothers for their monthly votes. By the way, Laofan is actively participating in the party’s mass line education and practice activities. The update cannot satisfy everyone. I hope you will understand. I will update everything after I have learned something. The learning content is gradually integrated into the book, haha.
In this plan, the first step is to realize the settlement of various tribes so that the grassland tribes will no longer move around. Of course, it will take a step by step process to completely let the herdsmen give up the lifestyle of living in pursuit of water and grass. It cannot be done immediately. , this requires changing the way of grazing, from extensive to intensive grazing, which is very difficult. To be honest, it may not be possible to do it well in a hundred years. "" Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! . But at least What can be done now is to let the nobles settle down.
The Yijings of the Pinbu tribe completely settled in Liucheng and Yanjun, and the Wukui tribe also initially settled in Huaiyuan Military City. This change in lifestyle is irreversible. Once they taste the benefits of settling down, they will not want to give up their comfort and stability. , almost no kěnéng.
After being divided, the Diela Tribe can be considered settled down. There is no problem with this. What Yingzhou needs to do is to continue to expand the size of Fuyu City and include the Chu Te Tribe and Nirvana Tribe who are dependent on the Hua brothers. What still needs to be considered now is to build a city in the Royal Court of Raole Mountain, and completely stick the Yishi Department, Tulubu Department, and Tuju Department to this land. At the same time, Li Chengzhong also plans to place the new Yelu Department and Shulu Department in The new city abandoned by the Wukui tribe sandwiched them between Yingzhou and Bohai, realizing a transformation in their lifestyle.
Then there is the road construction, connecting these cities with Yingzhou through official roads. If there is a change, the army can arrive quickly.
In order to change the Khitan people's way of life, trade is a powerful tool. In addition, education must be strengthened. Let the lower-level people of the Khitan people also learn Tang dialect, understand Tang Wen, understand Tang etiquette, and be obsessed with "how to behave in the world." "Principle". As the saying goes "Education must start from childhood", Li Chengzhong plans to take this step starting from the flowers of Khitan.
The above is a huge plan, and Li Chengzhong's plan is to take effect in "ten years". But in the end, he couldn't even get enough of it.
In the three consecutive days after entering the enemy camp on a snowy night, all parties in Western Liaoze carried out intensive negotiations on how to unify the thoughts among the top leaders of Yingzhou, how to coordinate interests among the servant armies, and what price the loser should pay. Important issues were involved. A series of issues such as personnel appointments and dismissals, re-division of tribal territories, modification, improvement and signing of the "Huaiyuan Treaty", distribution of prisoners of war, compensation to the defeated nobles, etc. were all finalized one by one in these three days.
The reason why nénggounàme can quickly complete the negotiations between the parties is that in addition to the fact that the leaders of all ministries are in Western Liaoze at the moment, the more important reason is the existence of Li Chengzhong. The so-called "one word and nine tripods" refers to this state.
On November 20th, Lieutenant Commander Li Cheng returned to Mount Raole with his army, accompanied by Khan Hende Jin and the Khitan royal court.
The Khitan Yishi tribe, the Diela tribe, the Yelu tribe, the Shulu tribe, the Tulubu tribe, the Tuju tribe, the Chute tribe, the Wukui tribe, the Niraka tribe and the Pinbu tribe gathered together at the foot of Raole Mountain with their elders. Among them were the newly-appointed Pinbu Qi Jin and Li Suomo who were urgently recruited from Liucheng and Yanjun, the eldest elder Wan was blind, and the elders of the Wukui tribe who were busy doing business in Huaiyuan Military City.
In addition to the elders of the Pinbu, there were also a large group of middle- and upper-class nobles who followed Li Suimo and Wan Blind to the north of Raoleshan. Many of them were directors of the "Yingzhou Social and Livelihood Development Welfare Fund" and these people came voluntarily.
The intention is self-evident.
As for the beggars and buyers of the Wukui Department, he has been following Li Chengzhong. After three months of training at Bailangshan Military Academy, the current beggars and buyers resigned from the position of the Huaiyue and Yuhou Joint Headquarters and officially
He took office as the first director of the newly established Zhongnanhai Guard Bureau, and currently has a team of fifty guards under his direct control. Is this Shime's responsibility? This is the command of the personal bodyguards of the army commander! Shihou, who has graduated from officer training by begging for money, can't even think of it.
Ji Ji actually defeated many competitors, including Li Chengzhong's favorite general Zhou Xiaolang.
On the night when he returned from the Khitan camp in Western Liaoze, Qihuomai received authorization from Li Chengzhong to instruct him to expand the Zhongnanhai Security Bureau with the help of Jiang Miao, the envoy of the capital.
The coalition forces, even the Khitan ministries, Kumoxi and even Shiwei people selected elites to form a guard battalion with a strength of 500 people!
In addition to the Khitan tribes, there were also tribal leaders who joined the Huaiyue coalition from the northern part of Shiweishan, such as the eldest brother of the king of Bohai State Supervisor, Jin Chengyeol, the uncle of the king of Honglu Temple of Silla Kingdom, Zhenxuan, the governor of Xiongjin Prefecture, the elder Kumo Xige, and the northern part of Shiweishan.
Rush to Raole Mountain.
On the first day of December, Li Chengzhong met with the foreign ministries of the alliance in Raoleshan, re-signed the "Huaiyuan Treaty" and a number of subsequent clauses, and expanded the Huaiyuan Yuhou Joint Headquarters and the Huaiyuan Allied Forces in accordance with the treaty.
The new Huaiyue and Yuhou Joint Headquarters consisted of fifteen people. Zhong Shao continued to serve as the Duyuhou and the commander of the Huaiyue Allied Forces. Yingzhou occupied five seats, Khitan ministries occupied three seats, and Bohai Kingdom occupied three seats.
Luo has one seat, Xiongjinzhou has one seat, Kumoxi has one seat, and Shiwei has one seat.
The expanded Huaiyue Allied Forces totaled 10,000 people, with half cavalry and half infantry, divided into ten battalions. The Yelu Tribe, the Wukui Tribe, the Diela Tribe, the Gao Family of the Bohai Kingdom, and the Kumo Xi people each sent a thousand cavalry.
The Yang clan, the Wushi clan, the Xiongjin Prefecture, the Khitan Shulu tribe, and the Shiwei tribe each sent out a thousand infantry. At the same time, in addition to the Pin tribe, the Khitan tribes also had to allocate troops, following the example of Yingzhou, in Raoleshan, Fuyu City, and Xincheng.
A reserve battalion of 250 standing troops was established, under the command of Yili Jin, to maintain public security in the three cities in peacetime, and to supplement the losses of the Waiyo coalition forces in wartime.
With the joint recommendation of the leaders and elders of various ministries, Li Chengzhong was given the title of "Prestigious Khan" and became "the most noble and authoritative man on the grassland." He was as noble as the kings of various countries, ministers of various ministries, leaders and even the Khitan Khans.
Up! "Prestige Khan" is an honorific title on the grassland. It has no actual power, but it is extremely honorable. Those who win this title are the ones who are truly respected by all the tribes in the grassland. What Li Chengzhong said, Li Cunxu
More than ten years later, I will obtain this title by force, but my mother-in-law passed away...
For Li Chengzhong, although he was only a military general and not an emperor, adding this title was indeed a transgression, but who made this an era when the status of a warrior was at its peak? What's more, Li Chengzhong himself did not have such a yidiǎn, and most of his subordinates
They are the top soldiers who have made a fortune at the bottom, and they are even more confused about the secrets involved. The few insiders, such as Han Yanhui, who came after hearing the news, don't care and even secretly rejoice.
Only those from Bohai seemed to vaguely feel that it was inappropriate, but amid the unanimous cheers of the crowd, no one dared to issue a warning without permission.
This alliance was called the "Tianfu Alliance" in subsequent history. Li Chengzhong and the leaders of various tribes and countries worshiped the sky with three sacrifices. They vowed to "respect the Tang Dynasty together" and commemorated it on a stone. This oath was also recorded
Known as the "Tianfu Covenant", it was the legal basis for various tribes and countries outside the Guan Dynasty to regard the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain for hundreds of years.
On the third day after the alliance, on the fourth day of December, the alliance meeting of the ten Khitan tribes was held. The elders and nobles of the ten Khitan tribes gathered together at the foot of Raole Mountain and by the Raole River. Li Chengzhong, as the governor of Datang Yingzhou,
As Weixin Khan, he supervised and presided over this grand event. High-level officials from Yingzhou and leaders from Balhae Kingdom, Silla Kingdom, Ungjinzhou, Kumoxi, Shiwei and other tribes attended the ceremony.
The Chai Ce Ceremony is the most important ceremony among the Khitan tribes. It was created by Zuwu Khan, the founder of the Yaochun style tribal alliance. It is the etiquette for the tribal alliance to recommend the khan. But Hende Jin has always been recognized as the khan by all tribes, with the title of "
"Xianzhi Khan", he had already experienced the Chai Ce Ceremony when he ascended the throne of Khan in his early years, so this Chai Ce Ceremony was not held for him.
Since Da Yue Shilu took control of the military power of the Khitan Alliance, he established his own official position of "Da Yue", titled "General Inspector of Military and State Affairs". However, this official position was not recognized by the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Chang'an was not recognized by the Tang Dynasty at all.
After paying attention to these things on the grassland, in order to strengthen the authority of this official position, Shi Lu forced a firewood ceremony to be held when he took office over Yue.
Li Chengzhong's purpose in holding this Chai Ce Ceremony was to continue Shi Lu's practice and use Chai Ce Ceremony to perform the inauguration ceremony of Yue Yue. This was not only the case for Da Yue, but also for the inauguration of Yili Jin. At the same time, he also wanted to represent Da Yue.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Chai Ceremony officially recognized Yu Yue and Yi Li Jin, two positions that were not recognized by the imperial court in the past. Through this approach, the authority of the two official positions of Yu Yue and Yi Li Jin could be increased, and the real authority of the two official positions in Khitan
The concept of separation of powers among the three powers has been erected in people's minds.
Hendejin Khan held out the "Seal of the Khitan Military State" from the king's tent, and two elders from the Yaonian clan of the Yishi tribe held the seal of "General Yunhui" respectively, followed by the Khan's great scroll. "The Khitan Military State"
The "Seal" and the "Yunhui General" seal were awarded by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to Qu Shu, the Khitan Khan at that time, more than 60 years ago. The seal and the large seal have always been the symbol of the power of the Khitan royal court Khan, and they are extremely noble.
The three of them came to the Chai Ce Hall amidst the solemn sound of drums. The Chai Ce Hall is an altar made of stacked firewood. The so-called Chai Ce Ceremony means accepting various jade volumes at the Chai Ce Hall.
The three of them placed the objects in their hands respectfully on the altar, and then Hende Khan led the nobles from various tribes to bow. After that, Hende Khan sat on the throne above the altar, and the two elders got off the altar.
Then, the Khitan tribesmen gathered around the new Yue Yue and Yili Jin, and came to the northeast of the altar to worship the sun. The new Yue Yue was Brother Hua, and he finally sat on the throne of Yue Yue as he wished. Although the military power was gone, he was still
Extremely excited. However, Yili Jin is still under the control of the Die La tribe. This is a result that all parties can reluctantly accept.
After the ceremony, the two distant chariot-style elders who just got off the altar personally drove Hua Ge and Haidi respectively, and galloped around the Chaice Hall. The two cars stopped at the entrance to the altar. Hua Ge and Haidi got off the car, and Li Chengzhong stepped forward.
, it was Li Chengzhong's decision to personally put blankets on the two of them, with the purpose of strengthening the Tang Dynasty's authority in Chai Ceyi. After putting on blankets, Hua Ge and Jiadi kowtowed three times to Li Chengzhong, of course they were from far away in Chang'an.
Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengzhong helped the two men up and personally led them to Chaice Hall. They sat on the left and right sides of Khan Hende Jin respectively, while Li Chengzhong stood on one side of the high platform.
Each tribe came to the altar one after another and handed over two jade albums from the Ziji tribe to Brother Hua and Judi. The one given to Brother Hua was the list of nobles in the tribe, and the one handed to Judi was the list of the nobles in the tribe.
List of warriors with the identity of Tarma.
At this point, the original Chai Ceremony will be interrupted, and the rest of the ceremony will be continued the next day to show solemnity. However, Li Cheng was seduced, so the rest must continue.
As in later generations, Hende Jin, Hua Ge, and Judi made important speeches in the Chaice Hall. The various ministries supported each other and the elders expressed their firm support. Then Li Chengzhong made a concluding speech on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. The meaning of the speech was "
You three, work hard and don’t let down Datang’s high expectations.” This program of the concluding speech was of course written by Li Chengzhong.
After the speech, the four people walked around in a circle on the high platform of Chaice Hall, accepted the cheers from the nobles of each tribe, and then stepped off the stage. Someone had been prepared for it. After they got off the Chaice Hall, they used earth and rocks to move the people.
This Chai Ce Hall was named the Earthen Terrace, and this earthen terrace was to be used as the viewing platform when the Khitan Alliance would gather again in the future.
At this point, Chai Ceyi ended, and the three-power coexistence system of the Khitan Ten Tribes Alliance was formally completed.
As for Li Chengzhong, on the early morning of the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the headquarters of the Shuai Zhong Army and the generals quickly headed south, while the Yingzhou Army took battalions as units and returned to Liucheng one after another under the leadership of the commanders of each battalion. The Huaiyue Allied Forces left Jieli
He was appointed as the deputy capital commander and secretly marched westward from Raoleshan in batches until the Guangbian army assembled in Guizhou. (To be continued.)
