Li Zhiyun once struggled with whether to implement the enfeoffment system outside the Central Plains. Because these places are very close to the Central Plains, once the Central Plains is weak, disasters will inevitably occur in the future. But later he figured it out, and he could only experiment first, that is, take the grassland
and Tuyuhun. If the effect is good, then do it. If not, then split the prefectures and counties.
The current productivity and population do not support his direct development of these places and large-scale immigration to occupy them.
We can only wait for time to slowly pass, just like the development of history. After the population of the Tang Dynasty exploded and the Tuyuhun natives were almost dead, it should be much more suitable to start immigrating at that time. For example, the current grassland, the court has begun to use grassland
People cultivate land suitable for farming. It is called teaching them to produce and live, but in fact it is just using them.
But there are some places where Li Zhiyun will definitely not enfeoff vassal states, such as the future generation of Goguryeo and Silla. That place is related to sea power and cannot be messed with.
As for distant places, such as overseas islands, he not only wants to ennoble the children of the royal family, but also the descendants of heroes in the future.
The emperor had always been consistent in matters of military affairs. After Li Zhiyun decided to build a governor's palace, the ministers no longer dared to express different opinions.
"This is what I have considered. For now, we will implement the system of the governor's office, and then we will divide the prefectures and counties after the king's transformation shines upon the people of Tuyuhun."
This is the safest approach.
However, this does not prevent Li Zhiyun from conducting small experiments.
Du Ruhui said: "May I ask Your Majesty, how to divide the Tuyuhun land?"
Li Zhiyun said: "Tuyuhun is so vast that it should be divided into three. In the western part, Luo Shixin is the governor of Shanshan Governor's Palace and governs Shanshan. In the middle part, Li Daoxuan is the governor of Fuqi Governor's Palace, and the administrative seat is Fuqi City.
In the eastern part, Li Daliang is the chief governor of the Mantou Governor's Office, and his administrative office is located in Mantou. The rest of the important positions such as chief historians can be discussed by all the ministers."
Every time a Dudu Mansion is established, an official position cake is divided into periods. The emperor eats the big head, and the officials share the small head.
Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, I think that King Haizhu, King Dazhao and King Sunbo can be the governors of the governor's office. Using them will help stabilize the Tuyuhun area. As for Murong Shun, he should be called back to the capital to keep him in order to avoid future disasters.
Things will happen later.”
"I second the proposal." Wen Yanbo said: "This system has been used in the grassland and it has been stable and can be used."
The governor's mansion on the other side of the grassland always uses a grassland noble as a memorial arch, and the same is naturally true for Tuyuhun.
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "King Haizhu and others cannot be in their original territory. In this way, King Sun Bo will be the chief historian of the Shanshan Governor's Palace, King Dazhao will be the chief historian of the Fuqi Governor's Palace, and King Haizhu will be the chief historian of the Mantou Governor's Palace.
.”
"yes."
After the Grand Governor and the Chief Governor have decided, all that remains is for the ministers to recommend candidates to serve in other governor's offices. However, this does not need to be discussed in the Liangyi Hall. After the discussion in the Political Hall, it will be reviewed and approved by Li Zhiyun.
Li Zhiyun established the Governor's Palace in Tuyuhun, one of which was to plunder population resources, and the other was to prepare for Tubo in the future.
If you want to conquer the plateau area, you must let the soldiers adapt to the environment in advance.
Later, another topic was about the rewards for the generals. This item was also decided by the emperor, especially the rewards for the leading generals.
Regarding this matter, Li Zhiyun was very familiar with the matter and soon established regulations on the rewards for ordinary soldiers.
Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty received very generous rewards for their military achievements. In addition to fields, they also received gold, silver, wealth, and nobles.
The former is more common, while the latter is specially awarded to senior generals.
This time, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Li Daoxuan, Luo Shixin, and the eight lieutenants were all promoted to one rank. They were already Dukes, so naturally they could not be promoted anymore, but were instead given food and town rewards.
"Li Jing, Xu Shiji, I have another reward, let's discuss it later."
After hearing what the emperor said, the officials immediately understood that they wanted to reward these two people heavily.
Manna Hall.
Li Zhiyun stood on the map and watched as the servants removed the map of 'Tuyuhun' and replaced it with the maps of the three governor's offices that had just been established.
After finishing Tuyuhun, Li Zhiyun's eyes fell on the map of Tubo. That area would also be captured in the future, but that was the future. Songtsen Gampo, the man who unified Tubo in history, should soon show his talents.
Thinking of Tubo, Li Zhiyun smiled. According to historical records, Tang and Tubo were the same family. But in fact it was just a compromise by the Tang Dynasty.
According to historical records, Songtsen Gampo sent people to propose marriage to the Tang Dynasty. On the surface, it seemed that he was envious of the Turks and Tuyuhun, who had proposed to marry princesses of the Central Plains Dynasty, but in fact it was just their ambition.
This is not Li Zhiyun's malicious speculation, but a fact. The first time Songtsan Gampo sent someone to propose marriage to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin did not agree. Then what did Songtsen Gampo do?
Send people to attack the Tang Dynasty!
However, the drama lies here. The Tang Dynasty sent Hou Jun to attack the Tibetans and defeated the Tubo army in Songzhou.
Then what did Li Shimin do?
He did not accuse Tibet, but instead married Princess Wencheng to Songtsen Gampo.
Isn’t this nonsense!
If you win, you will marry the princess.
According to Li Zhiyun's guess, there should be two possibilities. First, Li Shimin found that Tubo was very strong and had high mountains and long roads, so it was not suitable to conquer it, so he simply married a princess in exchange for peace.
Secondly, when the Tang Dynasty fought against Tubo, it was not a great victory at all, but a tragic victory!
Accordingly, Li Shimin chose to settle the matter and indulge Tubo.
Otherwise, with Li Shimin's arrogance, how could he let Tubo go? Of course, there may be other reasons, no one knows.
However, this did not prevent Tubo from annexing Tuyuhun, marching into the Western Regions, and occupying Liangzhou and other places.
In fact, in the history of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was conquered by Tubo.
Li Zhiyun could probably understand what Songtsan Gampo did. It was nothing more than showing off his muscles and telling Li Shimin.
If you don't marry the princess to me, then we will be enemies!
Li Shimin gave in and won the battle and married the princess. Perhaps Li Shimin also considered that Tubo occupied the right time and place and the Tang army could not fight. He simply married a princess in exchange for peace on the border.
As for the treatment Princess Wencheng would receive in Tubo, would Li Shimin care?
Haha, of course he doesn't care. It's not his daughter anyway, so he doesn't care. The so-called emperor is nothing more than this, why should he admire her?
Princess Wencheng is the daughter of Li Daozong, and Li Daozong is a die-hard Li Shimin. He can marry his daughter to Tibet regardless of the clan's feelings. What's there to say?
You must know that the first battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo took place in the twelfth year of Zhenguan in history, when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak.
Can this also indulge the Tubo people?
Li Zhiyun couldn't understand.
However, now and in the future, there will no longer be Princess Wencheng.
The Tang Dynasty would not let Tubo go either.
Any threat must be nipped in the bud, especially since Tibet has done evil things in history.
Bang!
Li Zhiyun stepped on the Tubo map.
"Let you run for a while first. When my soldiers adapt to the plateau climate, you will die."
Tang and Tubo were the same family?
fart!
In front of the empire, there are only two choices: surrender and death, and there is no such thing as allies.
Tubo must die, and it must die cleanly.
If it is not dead, how could Li Zhiyun enter Tianzhu through Tubo territory?
Putting aside Tubo for the moment, Li Zhiyun turned his attention to Goguryeo.
The next target is either Goguryeo or the Western Regions.
We must fight, we must fight!
Only by plowing all these foreign tribes back and forth several times can we expand the territory of the empire. Only by plundering a large number of slaves and letting the slaves build roads, dig mountains, mines and connect rivers can the people of the Tang Dynasty reduce the pressure of labor and let them live with peace of mind.
