Wang Lin ignored Nalatu. He was silent for a while, and then faced the ministers and said slowly and calmly: "I heard what you were arguing about just now, and I have no intention of suppressing your rebellion.
But I did say something first.
Before I went out to conquer the Naiman, and before I mobilized the troops of Gaochang, the remaining Khitan and the Tatar people, I made a promise that after the Naiman was defeated, each of us would take his own territory.
So, now that the barbarians are destroyed, do you, my ministers, want me to break my promise and become fat?"
Zhang Jun said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what is called this moment is the same as that moment.
Since the land occupied by the barbarians is extremely vast and the land is fertile, we, the Great Yan, should be merciful and not give in. We can station the king's troops to educate the natives. This will be our great contribution to the Yan Dynasty for all generations!"
Liu Qi also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I second your proposal!"
Gu Qingchuan also stood up impatiently and said: "Your Majesty, the homeland of Naiman should be included in our territory of Great Yan. As for where to place the Tatar Mongols, I have a suggestion."
Wang Lin took a deep breath and thought that someone who could finally come up with a solution to the problem came to his mind.
You can't just object, you have to come up with solutions to the problem, right?
You are the important ministers of Dayan and the pillars of the country. You are not street hooligans. You cannot just bicker and not show your heart.
Gu Qingchuan looked deeply at the emperor whom he respected, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, when I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that the reason why the foreign tribes in the north, such as Jin and Liao, covet our country in the Central Plains is mainly because their people live in the bitter cold remote areas.
There is no good land for cultivation, and no produce for regular needs.
I am thinking that if the more than 100,000 Tatar Mongolian people are moved to Henan, Hebei or Shandong, or even Jiangnan, Huainan, or simply Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, a few counties will be selected for them to live, and we, the Han people, will teach them farming techniques.
…
Within ten years, the Mongolian people will surely live a prosperous life and live a good life where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."
Wang Lin was stunned, and he almost laughed.
Gu Qingchuan actually wanted to move the Mongols to the interior and divide and rule them.
This will destroy their inheritance.
Evil intentions.
Can Mongolians who have left grasslands and pastures still be called Mongolians?
Within a few years, their national nature will begin to deteriorate.
Before Wang Lin could speak, Naratu on the side became anxious: "Your Majesty, this must not be done! We Mongolians have lived on grasslands and pastures for generations and are not good at farming. If we move to the inland, we, who are more than ten thousand people, will
What do the generals do for a living?"
Gu Qingchuan responded with a sneer: "Since you have lived on the grassland for generations, why do you always want to invade the Central Plains?
As for you who are not good at farming, don't worry, the Han people will teach you the art of farming.
Besides, even if you have no income from farming at first, the imperial court will arrange relief. Your Majesty is kind and will never let you, hundreds of thousands of Mongolians, starve to death."
Gu Qingchuan retorted Naratu until he was speechless.
What he means is that you don’t have to worry about anything else. As long as you agree to move inland, even if you are raised by the court, you Mongolians will not starve to death.
If this is the case in the future, or if it is still feasible, in fact, when that time comes, there will be no need for official intervention at all, and spontaneous migration among the people will begin.
But now, the Mongolian cavalry is still an important military force that Wang Lin wants to use in the future, and Wang Lin will not kill the goose to obtain the egg.
Wang Lin suppressed laughter and shook his head: "The Mongolian cavalry will still be of great use in the future. It is not appropriate to move the Tatar people inland at this time.
Gu Qingchuan, do you have any other ways to settle things? I'm all ears."
Gu Qingchuan rolled his eyes and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the north of Wuchuan is to the east of the barbarians. The grasslands are vast and there are oases everywhere, enough to accommodate millions of Mongolians.
According to my wishes, all the Mongolians who came to join Dayan from the Tatar Tribe, the Qiyan Tribe, the Borjijin Tribe, and even all the Mobei Tribes will be settled here, and each area will be defined.
In the thousands or even tens of thousands of miles here, a Mongolian province can be established, which will be governed by officials sent by the imperial court."
Naratu's expression suddenly changed.
This guy named Gu is really ruthless, and this move is even more powerful.
This is directly to wipe out the Tatar tribe, and let the Qiyan tribe and the Borjijin tribe, which have always been under Dayan's management, annex Tatar.
Wang Lin squinted his eyes and smiled, "Go on, I'm all ears."
Wang Lin found it a bit interesting.
"Your Majesty, the various Mongolian tribes do not interfere with each other and are not subordinate to each other. They accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court and the Mongolian province. Three cities can be built here to protect the Mongolian province and house the three Mongolian tribes respectively.
Regardless of the Borjijin, Qiyan, or Tatar tribes, they all exercised autonomy, and their khans commanded the troops of their tribes. The Mongolian provinces did not interfere, but they accepted the dispatch of the Imperial Privy Council.
The rank of the khans in each department is equal to that of the king of our dynasty. They are allowed to be ministers only and not to pay tribute.
In addition, the imperial court should build a large city in Altay, the former homeland of the Naiman tribe, and move Han people from the interior, Xia people from Xixia, Uighurs from Gaochang, and even Khitan, Mongolian and other ethnic groups who are willing to settle in the new city.
The imperial court can approve it.
The imperial court stationed troops in this city, followed the Tang system, and established the Anbei Protectorate here to appease the barbarians.
The homeland of the Naiman, south of Mongolia and north of Wuchuan, is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian province, and will be adjusted when the time is ripe."
Gu Qingchuan talked eloquently and clearly, and presented a very feasible plan.
To put it bluntly, it is in the best interest of Dayan to establish the province of Mongolia and directly incorporate it into its territory.
Moreover, the Mongolian tribes were allowed to settle here, listening to the tune but not the propaganda, and not subject to local control. It seemed to give the Mongols great privileges, but in fact it was intended to allow the Mongols to resist the future attack of the Jin Kingdom and serve as the external force of Dayan.
strategic barrier.
In other words, use the Mongols as cannon fodder.
The establishment of the Anbei Protectorate in the hometown of Naiman, where multiple ethnic groups live together, is undoubtedly the most beneficial national policy for Dayan at present.
The control of this place by Dayan is equivalent to firmly cutting off the retreat route of the countries in the Western Regions and the Gaochang Uighurs.
future……
All the civil and military ministers of the court had moved expressions on their faces, and they all looked deeply at the high-spirited Gu Qingchuan.
Li Gang couldn't help but wonder, with Gu Qingchuan's mind, he could come up with such a plan to kill three birds with one stone? This must be His Majesty's idea.
In fact, it was not only Li Gang who thought this, but the other ministers also slowly came to their senses. Seeing that Gu Qingchuan was singing harmony with His Majesty, he was clearly playing a double act to fool the Mongols?
Realizing that this move was very beneficial to Dayan and was truly a way to get the best of both worlds, Li Gang immediately stood up and echoed without hesitation: "I second the proposal!"
After Li Gang, Wu Min, Huang Qishan, Guo Zhishun, and Zong Ze walked out one after another and seconded the proposal.
Now even the old party agreed, and people in the new party rushed to support the proposal.
A deep smile appeared on the corner of Wang Lin's mouth.
This was actually not his idea, but the result of a joint discussion between Gu Qingchuan and six or seven military ministers, and it was just said through Gu Qingchuan's mouth.
The overall strategy is like this. As for whether the Tatar people should be placed in the old land of Naiman or in the north of Wuchuan, whether they are adjacent to the Qiyan tribe and Borjijin, this is not the key to the problem.
The key is the Mongolian province.
Wang Lin thought about it again and again and thought it was feasible.
After all the ministers had finished their opinions, Wang Lin looked at Nalatu with a smile: "Nalatu, what do you think?"
Naratu knew that this could only be the case.
Dayan will never rest assured that the Tatars will become the second Naiman.
In fact, not only Dayan, but also other Mongolian tribes will not sit back and watch the Tatar family dominate.
Naratu remembered the words of his sister Xiulan: "Brother, don't be resentful and think that your Majesty does not care about my sister's affection. First of all, state affairs are state affairs, and public affairs cannot be abolished for personal reasons. Your Majesty will never do this.
Furthermore, Your Majesty said, if I were not here, you might not be the khan of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Tatar Tribe.
Brother, in the future, relying on Dayan, you can lead your tribe to become an independent king and live a stable life with your tribe. Isn’t this the dream of us Mongolians? What else are you dissatisfied with?
Brother, sister, that’s it. Think about the current Borjijin and Qiyan tribes. They rely on the Great Yan, and their population and livestock are increasing day by day. If the Great Yan hadn’t suppressed them, these two tribes would have become the overlords of Mongolia.”
As soon as he thought of this, Naratu immediately bowed and paid homage: "Your Majesty Naratu, I obey the decree!"
There is no problem with Narathu.
Wang Lin laughed loudly, then looked at Prince Xilan of the Gaochang Kingdom and said: "Xilan, this is indeed unfair to Gaochang. You sent troops to attack Naiman, resulting in many casualties and a high price.
Well, Ceylon, go back and tell your king that I will allow your Uighur merchants to do business in the territory of Dayan, and the taxes will be reduced by half. This should be enough to compensate you Uighurs for their losses."
Ceylon was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.
There are hundreds of thousands of Uighur merchants scattered throughout Dayan. They also serve as a bridge for trade between Dayan and other countries in the Western Regions and even the more distant Congling region. The interests in between are very huge.
Official tax exemptions are definitely a great benefit to Uighur businessmen.
Wang Lin finally looked at Xiao Wan: "Xiao Wan, you are quite talented. I intend to appoint you as the Grand Governor of the Anbei Protectorate. You will lead 10,000 Khitan wolf cavalry to assist the Western Army's 10,000 elite troops to permanently suppress the Anbei Protectorate.
Are you willing?
As for the remaining Khitan tribes, we will choose someone else to lead them."
Xiao Wan's heart moved slightly, but he bowed and said: "I obey your order!"
He is actually a man with great ambitions. Since he has taken refuge in Dayan and obeys the emperor's command, he certainly wants to achieve great achievements and benefit future generations.
Wang Lin laughed and announced his resignation.
The barbarian affairs were settled.
After the affairs of the Mongolian province were finalized, the next complex affairs were handled by the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department. Wang Lin was only responsible for major strategic decisions.
The cabinet team focuses on state affairs and the military aircraft department team focuses on military warfare, but both will take care of other things.
The next day, news spread that the imperial court had established the Mongolian Province and the Anbei Protectorate.
…
News came from Luoyang, and Xue Qiang finally spat out after being tortured by Jin Yiwei.
Confessed and identified the mastermind behind it.
The Jin Yiwei Luoyang Thousand Households Division did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered two hundred households to lead 300 Jin Yiwei to quickly escort the main criminal Xue Qiang and relevant witnesses and evidence to Beijing.
Not to mention.
Royal Palace.
In the royal study.
Yan Qing hurriedly entered with a solemn expression.
At this time, Kong Lin was working with Shangguan Qing to arrange the emperor's lunch.
A few side dishes, the same meat, and two plates of snacks. In terms of the emperor's treatment, Wang Lin can be called the simplest king since ancient times.
"Xiao Yi is here, let's use something together."
Yan Qing cupped his hands and said, "How dare I have dinner with Your Majesty? Your Majesty, I have an urgent military report that I need to report."
Yan Qing looked at Kong Lin and Shangguan Qing who were waiting on the side.
Wang Lin frowned: "Lin'er, Shangguan Qing, you guys go down first, I'll talk to Xiao Yi."
It was a matter of military and state secrets, so Kong Lin and Shangguan Qing did not dare to neglect, so they quietly bowed and retreated.
Yan Qing stepped forward slightly and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, Xue Qiang spit..."
Wang Lin's expression changed slightly: "Who is the person behind the scenes?"
Yan Qing's face was complicated. He came forward and leaned in front of the emperor and whispered a few words. Wang Lin's face instantly darkened.
Yan Qing slowly stepped back, and Wang Lin's breathing was a little heavy.
