"Yeluhadi pays homage to His Majesty." By the swamp outside Longhua Prefecture, more than ten Khitan chiefs headed by Yeluhadi knelt on the ground respectfully.
Jiadi has actually surrendered for quite some time.
As a member of the Eight Khitan tribes, he was very pitiful. He actually held power for only a few months, and he also faced the constraints of Yueyelushulu, so his real power was pitifully small. After Hende Jin Khan died of illness and Abaoji came to power,
He was completely marginalized, his influence dropped again and again, and he became insignificant.
In this war, I led a partial division, but there were only 10,000 men. Weapons were scarce, and the personnel were not very good. It is obvious that nothing could be done. Shao Chengjie gave me a hard lesson on the East Road a while ago.
, after the whole army was defeated, they simply surrendered and everything was over.
"Do you know where all the Khitan people have fled?" Shao Shude asked casually while sitting on the carpet, drinking tea.
Jiadi had been silently observing Shao Shude before. He was secretly amazed that at fifty years old, he did not show signs of aging and decadence at all. Power is indeed the most exciting thing for a man. Shao Shengqi owns most of the world and has elite soldiers under his command.
There are countless powerful generals, and it's the time to be high-spirited. Compared with this, he, Shi Lu, Ou Si, Kui Guzhi and others should all retire.
"Your Majesty, Shi Lu and others have been guarding me. My Uluru Si went to the Jie Mansion, but now I don't know where it is." Jiadi replied.
He really knew very little, and as Yi Li Jin, it was really embarrassing to do this.
Xama Ge took a group of people to the Miaojie Mansion, but that happened many days ago, and he doesn't know where they are now.
"Since you have someone who followed Xema Ge to the Miaojie Mansion, you should try to contact him. If you don't succeed, there is no need to blame yourself. Abaoji, Shi Lu's lost dog, will not be able to make waves," Shao Shude said.
"Yes." Jiadi responded.
The sage said so, but he couldn't understand it in this way, so he still had to take it seriously.
Yu Lujian's aunt brought snacks. She was more than four months pregnant, and her lower abdomen was more obvious, which was not convenient. Her daughter Xiao Chonggun took the dishes, knelt on the ground, and placed them one by one in front of Shao Shude.
"Let's sit down and have something to eat together." Shao Shude stretched out his hand and said to Haidi.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Yeluha sat down on his knees.
His son Derrit stood behind him, looking at the two women beside Shao Shude with very complicated emotions.
I heard that this is the third child Ao Gu is pregnant with...
What an identity Ao Gu is! The grassland shepherds feel blasphemy even if they take another look at Ao Gu. When they see Ao Gu, they kneel down respectfully.
But Lord Xia showed no pity at all. He took her captive for just over three years before she became pregnant with three children, just like a fertility tool.
Delite didn't dare to think too much and stood silently beside him.
"I heard that Yelu Qisi died in the battle at Beilou, and his son Huolu and Yu were defeated. Can you appease the tribesmen of Tiela lineage?" Shao Shude asked, caressing Xiao Chonggun's face.
The fifteen-year-old young girl obediently came closer to let the saint touch her more comfortably.
If there had been no war, she would probably have married Yelu Yuzhi when she was thirteen years old - in fact, the two families had already agreed on the marriage.
Nowadays, she is a recreational "item" around the saint. She dances to entertain the saint from time to time, serves and tolerates the saint from time to time, and that's it.
Which one is better? She doesn't know, in fact she has no choice.
"Your Majesty has won a great victory, and this is the right time to appease him," Jiadi said.
His words were clear and concise, without any extraneous content. Although he now really wanted to know how the sage would arrange the eight Khitan tribes, and even more wanted to know his position among them.
"The grassland is the grassland, and the Central Plains is the Central Plains. I will not interfere at will." Shao Shude said.
After hearing these words, Haidi felt happy. The saint was indeed a man of great talent and strategy. He knew that the grassland could not be ruled directly and would not do anything indiscriminately. And this, wouldn't this be an opportunity for their family?
"You can serve as an envoy to Shanxi to appease the clans scattered everywhere." Shao Shude said: "If someone raises his clan to surrender, there is no need to doubt him, just let him come to Yingzhou."
"I obey the decree." Judi responded happily.
"Shanxi" should be the west of the Daxianbei Mountains, which is the territory of the Xi people and the Wugu people, most of whom are vassals of the eight tribes of Khitan. Since there are Shanxi appeasement envoys, there should be Shandong appeasement envoys, and it doesn't matter who the other one is.
Well, he has already benefited anyway, and there is too much room for maneuver here.
"It's a good job, let's go." After talking about this matter, Shao Shude waved his hand and said.
Yeluhadi and his son left respectfully.
After they left, more than ten noble people came to see him one by one. They first paid homage to Shao Shude, and then respectfully saluted Aunt Yu Lujian, saying words of praise and praise.
Shao Shude patiently chatted with them, and after comforting them, he ordered them to lead his troops to the south tower to assemble and await the holy orders.
"Your Majesty, although Abaoji has gone far away, he may still come back. Someone must occupy the pasture vacated by Babu." Aunt Yu Lujian said cautiously.
Shao Shude did not hit her this time. Maybe it was inappropriate in front of outsiders, or maybe what she said made sense. After thinking for a while, he said: "Chen Shilang."
"I'm here." Chen Cheng approached.
"Li Yanling is not accompanying him, so you can handle this matter." Shao Shude said: "We will go to Hongyuan, Yulin, Woyang, Xianyou, and Changxia Five Palaces, and send 6,000 households eastward to Yikun Prefecture, and then from Khitan
Four thousand households were selected from the eight tribes of captives to join, totaling 10,000 households. These 10,000 households are my slaves, and they will graze their cattle in Yikun Prefecture and build the Yong'an Palace. For the lack of men in the six tribes, six thousand households will be selected as captives.
Supplement. Don’t choose Xiren or the like, just choose Khitan."
Khitan vassals such as Xi Ren are easy to rule and there is no need to be slaves.
"I obey the decree." Chen Cheng responded.
"How do you think the arrangements should be made for other places?" Shao Shude asked.
"Your Majesty, Prince Fengsheng is four years old. He is in good health and extremely intelligent..." Chen Cheng said.
"Fifteenth Prince is still young, so we can't become a vassal." Shao Shude waved his hand and said, "However, we can indeed send someone to take care of the pasture in advance."
The Prince of Fengsheng County, Shao Zhizhong, was born to his biological mother, Ashideshi, in August of the fourth year of Jianji. He is about to receive orthodox royal education in Luoyang. It is true that he cannot join the vassal now. However, a part of the Prince's Palace of Fengsheng County has been established, and some are making progress.
The more ambitious Confucian students are willing to go out with the prince. For them, since they can only be a small official in the mainland, they might as well go to the grassland and try their best. If they can become the royal secretary, record things, participate in the military, etc.
It is also good to have high-ranking officials.
"The decree is to combine the Yuewang City and the West Tower into the Fengsheng Prefecture, and the Sima Keyu of the Royal Palace will temporarily take over the post of governor." Shao Shude said.
Ke Yu is the magistrate of Tongding County in Yingzhou. He took the initiative to apply for an official position in the Fengsheng County Prince's Palace a while ago and was hired. In fact, there were very few competitors, and his attempt was ridiculed by many people. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that Yingzhou also
Not bad, he changed from a county magistrate to the de facto governor of Jisu Prefecture, which doesn't sound bad either.
The City of the King of Yue was located in the area of Halahada Town in the later Bahrain Left Banner, and the West Tower was nearby. This area of Fengsheng Prefecture was roughly equivalent to the area around Bahrain Left Banner and Right Banner.
In fact, the people under the jurisdiction of the Fengsheng County Prince's Mansion are mainly descended from the Yinshan Tatars. They are still among the Yinshan tribes, and most of them are slaves. Previously, Shao Shude planned to use money and silk to redeem them, and he has counted nearly 8,000 households. Now,
I don't plan to pay any more, and will directly send 10,000 Khitan households to surrender to them.
In this way, Liang Hanyong and others had digested most of the people they captured in the North Tower.
"Canonize the Sixteenth Prince as the King of Pengsheng County, and use the Khitan Longhua Prefecture as the Pengsheng Prefecture. Slowly identify personnel to establish the Prince of Pengsheng County." Shao Shude said again.
After saying that, he added in his mind: If his son is lucky enough to grow up.
The sixteenth son's name is Shao Jingtong, he is two years old this year, and his biological mother meets his aunt in Yulu.
Pengshengzhou was governed in the area of Ximengjiaduan Village in the northeast of Later Naiman Banner, and its geographical scope was roughly Naiman Banner and the southern boundary of Kailu County.
"I obey the decree." Chen Cheng responded again.
He has no objection to the saint's arrangement. The only things that need to be paid attention to are whether the Khitans will obey and the supplies needed for personnel exchanges. The latter is not difficult, while the former requires a large army to suppress it. But this is what the people below them need to worry about
Yes, the sage doesn't care about this. He only gives orders. The six departments of Shangshu, Lifan Yuan, and Beiya Privy Council will jointly handle the specific details.
"Your Majesty." Yu Lu saw Aunt's face glowing red, her eyes watering.
She is indeed greedy and not a good person, but it would be false to say that she doesn't care about a child who was born in ten months of pregnancy. Especially for this child, who she often breastfed and raised with her own hands, she has a deeper affection for him.
"Okay, my child, of course I have to think about his future." Shao Shude hugged Yu Lujiangu, took a look, and felt a little more favorable to her. After all, he is not the kind of person who only loves himself. He knows why
Biological children fight for their own interests.
"Your Majesty, there are still a few places left, how should they be arranged?" Chen Cheng coughed and asked.
Shao Shude patted Yu Lujiangu, who was getting excited, and went aside. After thinking for a while, he asked: "You mean the Khitan Yamen, South Tower, and North Tower?"
"Exactly." Chen Cheng replied.
"Do you have any good suggestions?" Shao Shude asked.
"It is the national policy of this dynasty to treat the Han people under the Han system, and to treat the Tibetan people under the Tibetan system." Chen Cheng said: "Liao Ze is vast, and the two counties and princes are not enough to cover the entire territory. Your Majesty has many heirs, and you may be able to select one or two adult princes.
Just a vassal. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that we would take advantage of Yeluhadi and the ancient people?"
"Did you accept someone's request?" Shao Shude suddenly laughed.
Chen Cheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said: "The deep love Concubine Zhao has for her son means she has far-reaching plans."
Chen Cheng only said half a sentence, but Shao Shude still understood it. His face suddenly fell and he said: "That's ridiculous! Why is she worried?"
Chen Cheng remained silent. The courtesy and expenses paid to Concubine Zhao in the harem were the same as those of the empress. Isn't this something you did?
Shao Shude sighed, his expression was not very good, and after thinking quietly for a long time, he said: "Promote Khitan Miyun County to Protect the Holy State."
Miyun County is probably located in the area of Wengniute Banner in later generations. There are more than 3,000 households settled there, mostly Bohai people, who farm and herd along the river.
In fact, the three Jisi prefectures of Ensheng, Pengsheng and Protector are very similar. The annual rainfall is just over 300 millimeters, which is lower than evaporation. In this climate and environment, large-scale land reclamation will definitely not last long with the technology at this time. In the end,
The best way is to focus on animal husbandry and supplement farming.
"Let's do this for now, I still have to think about it." Shao Shude stood up irritably and said.
"Yes." Chen Cheng responded.
He was entrusted, of course, not for King Zhao, but for the eighth son of the emperor, Shao Duanfeng. This son was born in May of the fourth year of Qianning (897) to his mother, Concubine Zhao, who is eleven years old this year.
If it weren't for the fact that the Eighth Prince was smart and studious, respected his teachers, and happened to have something going on in the grassland, he wouldn't have interfered with the affairs of the Tian family. But then again, he had done a lot of deeds to seek death, and he was not bad at this.
One pile and two piles.
The saint only said half of what he said, but he knew that this matter was already in the heart of the emperor and would not change.
On July 23, Shao Shude left Longhua Prefecture and headed east, heading straight to the South Tower.
