The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty looked proudly at Heduluo admitting his mistake, their eyes were disdainful but full of absolute coldness.
After Dahe Duluo finished a lot of begging for his life, Xuanling, the Minister of Punishment, walked out of the row, clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Khitans are barbarians and lowly people who are afraid of power but have no morals. If you let go now
If we cross the Khitan, the Khitan will definitely be a scourge to our Tang Dynasty in the future. I believe that cutting the grass must eliminate the roots, and the Khitan must be completely exterminated!"
Dahe Duoluo, Dahe Mohui, Dahe Kuge and others were stunned.
Is this the same Central Plains dynasty that wants to save face?
How is this different from Turkic?
"No!" Da He Du Luo cried, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister would never dare to do this. Please spare your life, Your Majesty!"
He simply couldn't believe that Tang officials were so bloodthirsty that they directly advised the Tang emperor to destroy Khitan in front of him.
What the hell is going on?
Daheduluo couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out. In the past, even if their grassland tribes plundered the border states of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty would just send envoys to condemn them.
This time, he defeated the Xi tribe. Why did the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers react so strongly?
Forget it by sending out troops, but also want to destroy the Khitan and subjugate the country and exterminate the species?
Although Khitan has not yet established a nation, in the eyes of the grassland people, a slightly stronger tribe is a small country.
However, the name internally and externally is still 'one clan'.
However, after the Turkic subjugation, the vast tribes in the grassland lost their backbone, and they began to act "transgressively" one after another. And because these grassland people had no knowledge and culture, there were not a lot of random kings' titles.
However, when facing the Tang Dynasty, the leaders of the grassland tribes always called themselves "little king" or "foreign minister".
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Du Ruhui also seconded his opinion.
"Your Majesty, the Khitans are like wolves in nature. They are raised without knowing how to mature them, and they are ungrateful. What I said by the Minister of Foreign Affairs is justified. Such a tribe should be destroyed."
"I second the proposal!"
"The general seconded the proposal!"
Tang officials agreed one after another.
In the eyes of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, Khitan slaves were good treasures. Let’s not talk about anything else, just the cement road now built in Guanzhong.
Because there were Turkic slaves to consume at will, roads were paved very quickly. Two-thirds of the official road from Chang'an to Tongguan had been paved, and at the same time, Chang'an and surrounding cities were also connected one after another.
Such as Wannian, Xianyang, Shiping, etc.
Only those who have walked through cement roads know how precious they are!
It is the consensus of all officials from both the government and the public that this road is easy to pass, and what is more important is to be patient!
Compared with the kind of earth official road, the cement road official road looked like an ingenious thing to the court officials of the Tang Dynasty.
In this era, traveling far is not only a mental test, but also a physical test!
If all the official roads in the Tang Dynasty could be replaced by cement roads, the time from Youzhou to Lingnan, and from Chang'an to Donghai Laizhou would be greatly shortened!
The shortened time means that work efficiency is improved, and it also means that materials from all over the world will be able to be transported into Guanzhong more smoothly!
It also means prosperous commerce!
As for the other hidden benefits, all the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty who had any brains understood them clearly.
Therefore, the Khitans must be destroyed, and the Khitans must be captured and used as slaves!
At the courtier's invitation, Li Zhiyun smiled slightly.
"My dear friends, your request is reasonable and I agree." Immediately, Li Zhiyun said in a cold voice: "The Khitan nobles will be beheaded in the downtown area in three days!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
Instilled by Li Zhiyun's ideas, the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty now increasingly feel that except for the Tang people themselves, everyone else is not human.
And because a series of technological reforms were applied to production, courtiers now became increasingly indifferent to enslaving barbarians.
Because, it’s easy to use!
Go out and have a look, who doesn't like riding on smooth and solid concrete roads?
Who doesn’t like holding a coal stove in winter?
Who doesn't love using slaves to mine stone?
Using slaves saves more than just labor costs.
More importantly, the courtiers thought it was good to consume slaves in this way, which not only allowed the barbarians to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, but also allowed them to continuously consume the living forces of the grasslands without losing any blood.
So beautiful.
As for being disobedient?
There is no need to say more about what happened to the Khitan people.
Facing the absolute crushing power of the Tang Dynasty, the barbarians had no choice but to wait for death!
Dahe Duluo and others had pale faces. They still couldn't believe that the Khitan actually perished just because of a Xi clan?
The guards dragged the Khitans away.
Afterwards, rewards were given based on merit. According to the previous decision of the political hall, the land of the Xi tribe was designated as Raole Dudufu, Xie Shufang was appointed as the chief governor, and the former leader of the Xi tribe, Kedu, was appointed as the chief historian of the Dudufu and was awarded the title of General Yunhui.
The Khitan region was designated as the Governor's Palace of Songmo, with Li Junxian as the Chief Governor and Sun Aocao as the Chief Historian of the Governor's Palace.
Wei Yunqi was granted the title of Duke of Tongchuan County and moved to the Ministry of Industry as Minister of Industry.
Zhang Gongjin was granted the title of Duke of Cheng'an County and appointed governor of Yingzhou.
The two captains of the governor's office were handed over to Ke Duzhe and Sun Aocao respectively because they were originally from the Xi tribe and the Khitan. Keeping them can better help Xie Shufang and Li Junxian take over the Xi tribe's land and the Khitan's land.
.
As for whether those who can be saved are willing to be saved?
He is not in a position to be picky.
At present, the Tang Dynasty has established six major governor's mansions in the grasslands. From west to east, they are the Huyan governor's mansion, the Yunzhong governor's mansion, the Sangqian governor's mansion, the Dingxiang governor's mansion, the Raole governor's mansion, and the Songmo governor's mansion.
From now on, the land of Youyan will no longer be called Bianzhou.
Tang Tu has developed a lot to the north.
However, there is not much Tang Dynasty life under these governor's offices, and it is more like a military station on the grassland.
Afterwards, the emperor held a banquet, and the emperor and his ministers enjoyed it together.
Three days later, a group of Khitan nobles were beheaded in a busy city.
The people of Tang Dynasty cheered and cheered.
They like such a powerful country, and they even like such a strong and domineering Holy Emperor who cares deeply about his own people!
The news that the Khitan and Xi tribes were annexed by the Tang Dynasty soon spread throughout the grassland tribes. In fact, the Tang Dynasty did not need to publicize it, because when the war broke out, the grassland tribes knew the news. Unexpectedly, within just two months,
The Khitan was destroyed.
Xue Yantuo, Uighurs, Tongluo and other tribes knew the news and chose to ignore the Tang army's behavior of arresting slaves, buying slaves, and selling woolen clothes in the grassland.
What else can be done?
The Tang army made a slight move, and the Khitan and Xi tribe were defeated at the same time.
None of them dared to go against the Tang Dynasty at this time, let alone stand up and ask the Tang Emperor to return the Khitan and Xi tribe lands to the grassland people.
Because they dare not!
I really don’t dare!
If in the past the grassland tribes only longed for the prosperity of the Central Plains, then since the Tang Dynasty killed the Turks, the grassland tribes have only endless fear for the Tang Dynasty and the young Tang Emperor!
There was no way, Emperor Li Zhiyun of the Tang Dynasty was too cruel.
Burning 200,000 Turks to death was terrifying enough. The subsequent complete killing of the Ashina family and the enslavement of the Turks made the grassland tribes deeply fear the Tang Dynasty.
Fearful of their emperor's cold-blooded ruthlessness, fearful of Tang Qi's invincibility.
The grassland people who were born to worship the strong, faced such a powerful and domineering Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, could no longer resist at all.
Soon after, various tribes in the grassland sent envoys to pay homage to Chang'an and worship Emperor Li Zhiyun of the Tang Dynasty as His Majesty the Holy Emperor Khan.
When worshiping, he shouted loudly: "Wherever the heaven and earth are placed, and where the sun and moon shine, only His Majesty the Holy Emperor Khan rules over the eight wastelands and six places."
This title made Li Zhiyun stunned. He thought that the barbarians in the grassland would call him "Tian Khan".
But it doesn’t matter, it’s just a title. I thought I would get such a title when I destroyed the Turks, but I didn’t expect that I would get it when I eliminated the Khitans.
It's all the same, don't care.
Moreover, the Holy Emperor Khan is not bad, much better than the Heavenly Khan. Li Zhiyun has always felt that the Heavenly Khan is domineering enough but not gorgeous enough.
Yang Jian's sage Khan seems a bit 'weak'.
My Holy Emperor Khan is right in the middle, domineering and gorgeous.
