In Samarkand, in the palace of King Kang, Li Chenghua met King Constantine.
From a personal perspective, Li Chenghua really hated this sinister old king for actually killing Jin Shanling, and she wished she could chop off his head with a knife.
But Li Chenghua now represents the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the interests of the Tang Dynasty. She must not push the Sogdian forces to the side of the Great Eclipse.
Li Chenghua suppressed the hatred in his heart, showed unusual calmness, and said to Constantine: "The requirements of the Tang Dynasty are not high. First, Kang State must return Xianhai County to the Tang Dynasty. It belongs to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
The fiefdom was the land that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty seized during a fierce battle with the Turkic tribe of the Khazar State. It had never belonged to the Kang State. This was the prerequisite for all negotiations."
The Tang Dynasty's request was expected by Constantine. When he occupied Aral Sea County, he knew there would be future troubles, so he did not incorporate it into the territory of Kang State, but directly granted it to Prime Minister Anbol.
Anbolzai has been waiting for too long and his tail is too big to be lost. You can use the hands of the Tang Dynasty to kill him.
Constantine took out a map and said to Li Chenghua: "General Li, please look at this map of Kang State. Aral Sea County has never been included in Kang State's territorial map. It was Prime Minister Anbol who occupied Aral Sea County without authorization. We
I tried to persuade him many times, but he despised Datang from the bottom of his heart and turned a deaf ear to my persuasion. He has become powerful and there is nothing I can do against him. If the Tang army wants to retake Aral Sea County, they can just kill him. I have no objection at all.
"
Li Chenghua sneered, "Are you trying to borrow a knife to kill someone?"
Constantine shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether he killed someone with a borrowed knife. What's important is that if the Tang army wants to take back Aral Sea County, they must kill him. Aral Sea County is in his hands and his son is in charge. He will never hand it over."
Li Chenghua nodded, "Since Xianhai County has nothing to do with Kang Guo, let's not talk about it. Let's talk about things that both of us are concerned about."
"General Li, please speak!"
"We, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are willing to help the Sogdian countries defeat the Dashi Army and recapture Anguo, but after the war we will station troops in Sogdiana."
Constantine was agitated and said nervously: "Could we become just like Shi Guo?"
Li Chenghua shook his head, "The silver mines in Shiguo are what we need, but the Sogdian countries don't have what we need. We only need Sogdian caravans, so we will not infringe on your interests or take your land."
, and will not rob your treasury."
Constantine felt a little relieved and asked again: "What are the conditions?"
He knew in his heart that Tang Jun was not here to do charity. Tang Jun must have some agenda.
Li Chenghua discovered that this king was cunning and cunning. He could completely see through the Tang Dynasty's plans. When talking to such a person, there was no need to be secretive. You could just speak directly.
"The king is a smart man, so let me tell you straight. The fundamental purpose of the Tang Dynasty is not to allow the food forces to invade the river. The Tang Dynasty is not interested in your religious disputes, but the Silk Road is extremely important to the Tang Dynasty. You can help
The products of the Tang Dynasty are sold to China and the far west, bringing huge profits to the Tang Dynasty and benefiting the Tang Dynasty's finances. This is fundamental. Does the king believe what I say?"
Constantine nodded, "This is something I have understood for a long time. The river is too far away from the Tang Dynasty and there is not enough interest. The Tang Dynasty will not care about our life and death. The Silk Road has been very important to you since the Han Dynasty.
"
Li Chenghua smiled slightly and said: "If we can reach this consensus, then it will be easy to understand. The Tang Dynasty will station 10,000 troops in the river, which will be supported by the Sogdian countries. You can reduce your own army and the Tang Dynasty will protect you. You can
Reduce your own military spending."
Constantine pondered for a moment and said: "I understand the truth, but we need to discuss it with all countries. General Li, just say it directly!"
Li Chenghua said slowly: "Actually, this is the condition. Ten thousand troops will be stationed and the army will be supported by you. In addition, Datang will establish a liaison office in Samarkand, and nothing else."
Constantine sighed and said: "Actually, this condition is not harsh. As the king of Kang, I can accept it, but I understand the concerns of other countries. They are afraid that the leader of this army will annex the Hezhong area and he will establish his own
If the kingdom is separated from the Tang Dynasty, how will the Tang Dynasty control the army?"
Constantine's use of others to talk things out was actually his concern. Kang was the largest country in Sogdia and the leader of all Sogdian countries. As long as Kang agreed, other countries would agree.
But this is indeed a problem. Gao Xianzhi is a typical example in history. He attacked various small countries in Hezhong and Tochara at will.
But Li Ye had a plan and thought deeply about this issue.
Li Chenghua pondered for a moment and said: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was also worried that the army would be out of control. We have five preventive measures. The first is to establish a liaison office. The liaison office is the imperial envoy's office in Hezhong. It has nothing to do with the army. If it is found that military discipline and the army are out of control,
You can report the inappropriate behavior of the Tang general to the liaison office, or even complain to Suiye General Manager's Mansion, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will immediately change the general.
The second measure is to monitor the army. A garrison of 10,000 people will be equipped with a censor to monitor the army. His main task is to monitor the general against the court. If he has the idea of independence, if the general contacts you privately, you can also notify the monitor.
The third measure is the hostage measure. The families of all the garrison officers and soldiers are in Datang, and the family members of the general are in Chang'an. Even if the general wants to abandon his wife and children and rebel, the officers and soldiers below him will not follow. Not everyone can abandon his wife and children.
The fourth measure is to insist on using Han generals, so the middle-level and above generals will all be Han people, and there will be no need for Hu generals. This is a profound lesson from the Anshi Rebellion. Han people will cherish their homeland, but a large number of Hu generals will not.
The fifth and most important measure is to implement a rotation system. Each batch of garrison troops will only stay in the river for four years, and then be replaced by another batch of garrison troops. The general will not be able to station in the river for a long time, and he will not have a sense of belonging.
, there will be no alienation.”
Li Chenghua's words completely dispelled Constantine's concerns, and he nodded and said: "If the above five measures can be strictly implemented, I believe that all Sogdian countries will be willing to accept the Tang garrison to protect us from the invasion of Dashi.
The Society of Saints was completely destroyed after a fire. The governing body was gone. The Nine Saints of the Presbyterian Church were also burned to death. The premises and temples were burned to the ground. The remaining few thousand key believers were also taken over by the Illuminati.
More importantly, the tens of millions of gold coins accumulated by the Holy Maiden Society over the past decades disappeared out of thin air. Tens of thousands of kilograms of silver were used to build the Silver Temple, which was also dismantled and carted away by the Tang Army of the Shi Kingdom.
What is left is the land and real estate in various places, which basically belongs to whichever country it is located in. It is completely divided among the Sogdian countries.
After the demise of the Holy Maiden Society, the last Queen of Xiaoshi Kingdom also sadly stepped down and handed over the royal power to her son. Xiaoshi Kingdom resumed its normal royal power.
Nasebo, the capital of Xiaoshi Kingdom, is the third largest city in Sogdia and the largest gem producing area in the Hezhong area. Xiaoshi Kingdom is highly valued by all countries. The return of Xiaoshi Kingdom is a sign, which means that the Holy Maiden Society has been rampant in the river for nearly fifty years.
The historical mission was finally completed, and the saintly system was completely eliminated in the Hezhong area.
However, the saintly system still exists in Persian Zoroastrianism and will continue to do so.
Currently, the kings of the Sogdian countries are in Samarkand. On the one hand, they are avoiding the invasion of Dashi, and on the other hand, they are jointly annihilating the Holy Maiden Society.
Except for the king of Shi, the other eight kings were summoned by Constantine to the palace of King Kang.
"I have completed negotiations with the special envoy of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I will now inform you of the progress of the negotiations."
Constantine is the leader of the kings of various countries. He does not intend to cause trouble. If any king has an opinion and does not accept his plan, he can withdraw from the Eight-Nation Alliance and let the Tang army handle it.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is willing to help us defeat the invasion of the Dashi Kingdom and regain Anguo. He helped us more than ten years ago. Everyone should still remember him. This time he requested to garrison troops. After the war, the Tang Dynasty will
There are 10,000 troops stationed in the river, supported by our Sogdian countries. In addition, the Tang Dynasty will not interfere in our internal affairs, will not interfere in our religion, will not occupy our land and mines, and will not rob our treasury. Everyone, I think this condition
It was very good, so I agreed to be the special envoy of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
