Chapter 364: Marriage Wenxi County Lord
Chapter 364 Marriage Wenxi County Lord
Buying and selling can’t be done with benevolence and righteousness!
Qin Lang didn't turn his back on him. Since Ge Leng had so many concerns, he couldn't force him to raise the flag to revolt.
However, Ge Leng is also a wonderful person. He has many scruples and dare not overturn the table of the Western Turks, but he wants to board the boat of Datang, and wants to use the banner of Datang to suppress the Turks to protect himself.
"Yi Guogong, I was really shocked by the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty when I came to Chang'an to congratulate the emperor. The Tang Dynasty is really majestic and mighty, and the emperor is a hero. I am very yearning for the princess to be married to you!"
Qin Lang looked at Ge Leng. At this age, his head was full of frost and snow. Although the old soldier who ate beef and mutton still had muscles in his arms, he was too old for his age.
Still want old cows to grow tender grass?
What's more, Datang gave marriages to Qin Guozhong, Li Simo, and Li Sili, which is equivalent to recruiting a door-to-door son-in-law, not marrying a daughter.
This is fundamentally different. The son-in-law recruited, no matter what his status was before, will be the Tang family in the future.
"Goleng Teqin, since the emperor of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, I have set a rule, that is, no marriage, no land, no compensation, no surrender. The emperor has never promised to kiss."
"Duke Yi, we really admire Datang and want to get married."
"I really admire Datang and there are many other opportunities."
Ge Leng didn't want to offend the Western Turks, and he didn't want to lose Datang's thigh, so he proposed to marry him with nice words.
"So, when I saw Gelen Teqin that day, your grandson is very majestic and majestic. I don't know what his name is?"
"It's Qibi Heli!"
This is his favorite eldest grandson, the eagle on the prairie, mighty and brave, and will be the future leader of their tribe.
"What do you think of this, why not let Lingsun stay in Chang'an, join the left and right Qianniuwei as guards, and protect the emperor?"
Ge Leng hesitated.
"Young eagles on the grassland should broaden their horizons. Staying in Chang'an to serve the emperor can also increase their knowledge. Not to mention, Ling Sun's mighty and majestic appearance, maybe one day His Majesty is happy, and may give a The county lord is getting married, isn't it a good thing?"
Ge Leng hesitated, but He Li was the eldest grandson, the best young man in the tribe, and the future leader.
"Can you let my second grandson Shamen stay in Chang'an to serve the emperor, he is also a very brave young man!"
"Secret Service, how can we bargain for this matter!"
Datang wants He Li to stay, of course, mainly as a hostage, so as to contact the Qibi Department, the identity of the eldest grandson is of course more valuable, and the second grandson is not good.
On the same day, Ge Leng handed over his eldest grandson Qibi Heli, who was escorting him to Chang'an, to Qin Lang, and he took him to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin asked Ge Leng to sit on his couch and talk.
Finally, he took him to the imperial garden to shoot arrows and ride horses. The emperor was very pleased with this warrior of the Qibi tribe.
"To General Zuo Xiaowei, to Gu Zangjun, and to Wenxi, the niece of the married emperor! Chang'an bestows the first seat!"
·······
"This Qibi Gelen is an old fox, he won't easily change his banner and name to join Datang! The current chaotic situation in the Western Regions is a good opportunity for Datang to restore the Western Regions. It's a pity." Li Shimin sighed.
Qin Lang didn't take it seriously.
"Your Majesty, it's better to let them mess up the Western Regions for the time being. We can deal with the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan with all our strength first. It is not suitable to fight on both sides. Although Ge Leng refused to stand on his own, he showed his loyalty to Tang Dynasty and stayed behind. Eldest grandson, this can be regarded as a chess game, when the time comes in the future, Qibibu's chess game will be of great use."
Li Shimin took a sip of tea.
"How did Yi Nan plan?"
"Yi Nan hesitated because of Ge's stunned attitude, but I think he is already moved. Back then, Yi Shibo led 100,000 tents to move from Jinshan to Yudu Junshan. Now Yinan leads 70,000 tents. They are powerful and powerful, and they are the most powerful among the tribes of Tiele in the east. His grandfather’s prestige is still there, and he is still the one who has lost his ears among the tribes of Tiele in Mobei!"
Yi men are young and powerful, so this kind of young man is very ambitious. Whenever he has the opportunity, he wants to get rid of others and become the boss.
After the death of Tong Yehu, he was even more unwilling to be the younger brother of Mo Hedu or Si Yehu, and he was unwilling to surrender to the East Turkic who had the hatred of killing his father.
Ge Leng is old, lacks ambition, seeks stability, and dare not win easily, but Yi Nan is young and energetic, and his eyes are always burning with the fire of ambition.
"Your Majesty, I think that since Ge Leng is old, it is better to confer the name of Yinan as Tie Le Da Khan, and let him build teeth in the old Khan court of the Turks. Power, and secondly, the possibility of Tietu alliance can be differentiated."
Of course, the most important thing is to make it impossible for Jieli to retreat.
First set a fire in his backyard, so that Jieli would have no chance to return to Mobei, and he would not be given a chance to make a comeback in Mobei Khan Court.
Use barbarians to control barbarians.
The land of Mobei is too far away, and it is not convenient for the Tang army to send troops to the Northern Expedition.
So let Tie Le and the Turks fight in Mobei, and Datang only needs to concentrate on dealing with Jieli Khan in Monan.
"I have another strategy, which can destroy Jieli's last hope, that is, canonize Tuli Little Khan as Turkic Great Khan, and let him replace Jieli. In this way, the uncle and nephew will fight each other, and Jieli's last reinforcements will be wiped out. , the reinforcements have become enemies!"
Shibobi, the little Tuli Khan, was the son of Shibi Khan. Because of his young age, his uncle Tilif set up the throne as Chuluo Khan, and after he was executed, he was succeeded by his third uncle Tubi. For Jieli Khan.
Originally, the Turkic Khan succession system is that the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother ends up with the younger brother. It means that the elders do not establish the young, and brothers, nephews and even uncles have the opportunity to inherit the sweat.
Tuli's Khan succession order is very high, but it is a pity that he has not been able to inherit it. Although he is established as a small khan and manages the Khitan and other tribes in the Turkic East, he has been suppressed by Xieli, especially when he came to Chang'an last year. However, after Datang came up with a divorce plan, the relationship between uncle and nephew became even more tense, and it has not eased up to now.
The Central Plains has never broken the strategy of dividing and dissociating the grassland, but the grassland people have always followed this strategy.
"But Datang just reached a new covenant with Xieli!" Li Shimin was a little scrupulous and wanted to show some face.
"Your Majesty, there are several covenants reached between Tang and Turkic, but which Turkic people have kept them? Right now, he is taking advantage of his illness to kill him. You must not be kind to women, and you cannot learn from Song Xianggong!"
Between countries, the so-called peace agreements are actually just an agreement based on equal strength. Once the balance of power is broken, these agreements are actually not as effective as a piece of paper.
"Will Tuli agree?"
"Your Majesty, it's best if you agree. It's okay to attack Xieli from both sides. Even if you don't agree, it doesn't matter. We can be fair and aboveboard, even with great fanfare. Not accepting is another matter, even if he does not accept, will Xieli believe him? They are already suspicious of each other, but now that the edict is issued, it is even less likely that Xieli will believe him!"
"What about the Western Turks?"
Li Shimin asked again.
After the death of Tong Yehu, the Western Turks are now in great chaos. The left and right five sides each support a big sweat, and the right five sides even have different opinions, which is a mess.
"Your Majesty, this is easy to solve. Let's go east and west first, so we don't really need to pay attention to them for the time being. The minister suggested that Khan Moheduo and Khan Siyehu should be bestowed with banners and canonized as Khans respectively, so that they can be designated as khans." The land is separated, with the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary, the Siyehu Khan and the Wunushibi tribe on the right side govern the land to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Moheduo Khan and the Wudulu tribe on the left side govern the land to the south of the Tianshan Mountains .”
Qin Lang is very bad.
It doesn’t matter whether your uncle murdered your nephew and usurped the throne as a Great Khan, or the five tribes in the right wing supported Yehu’s son as a Great Khan, our Tang Dynasty doesn’t care about these, but only recognizes both Great Khans.
My Tang Dynasty doesn’t care whether you are a Western Turk or not, we only recognize the actual two khans.
In this way, you continue to fight yours, and the more chaotic the fight, the better. Anyway, it will not affect the relationship between Datang and the Western Regions.
As for who can defeat the opponent in the future and become the only profuse sweat, let’s talk about it at that time.
The status of the suzerain country will ultimately be realized by the victory of the war, but now it does not prevent Datang from taking advantage of the momentum created by this great court, and playing a little tricky.
Sometimes, although this method is based on real military strength, it can also exert an effect far superior to thousands of troops.
After all, the strength of a big country is there, and sometimes it can force the other party to submit if it is not triggered.
This is the true strength of a great power.
First encircle and suppress Jieli, regain control of the entire Monan, and slowly plan the rest.
Li Shimin liked Qin Lang's ghost ideas very much, "Pei Ju actually offered similar strategies to me before. These are the strategies he offered to Yang Guang back then. Yang Guang used his strategies back then, and they were somewhat effective. , broke through Tuyuhun, opened the four counties in Haixi, it's a pity that Yang Guang was defeated early, otherwise the Western Regions might really have been reproduced by him as the Han Family's Protectorate."
The emperor gave Qin Lang a new errand.
"You are responsible for picking an empty square in Chang'an, presiding over the construction of a number of mansions, as a reward for the residence of the Tibetans who came here this time."
Li Shimin demanded that the grandeur of the building should not lose the face of Datang.
Qin Lang immediately objected, "Your Majesty, I thought it would be good to give them a piece of land. As for these people who want a mansion, I can find someone to help them build it, but there will be a fee. I can't just pay for the face and pay for the inside. The Fan people are all very rich, and they don’t lack this kind of money.”
Li Shimin had a headache, "There is no need for the imperial court to care about these things everywhere. If it doesn't work, just withdraw money from my internal treasury."
"Your Majesty, it's not a matter of money or not. It's that things can't be done this way, or you'll start a bad start. It's true that you should treat these people preferentially, but there must be a bottom line. Your Majesty grants marriages and Isn't it enough to grant a surname, reward a title and make an official?"
Qin Lang suggested that two squares could be marked out on the edge of the West Market, and the original square area occupied by Buddhist temples should be re-planned to build a square area with both Hu and Yi characteristics and inclusiveness. This square area will be developed into a commercial area. Like Pingkangfang, it integrates the attached high-end residences of Hu Yi and the characteristic commercial district of Hu Yi, which not only facilitates centralized monitoring and management of these attached barbarians, but also engages in characteristic businesses, such as Hu Yi merchants, what Hu Ji barbarians Girl, you can do whatever you want to eat.
It can not only enrich the quality of life of Chang'an residents, but also broaden their horizons and exchange cultures between the East and the West. By the way, the imperial court can also make a fortune by selling houses, renting out shops, and collecting industrial and commercial taxes. Not very good?
Li Shimin felt that the money was also earned, which was unreasonable.
Qin Lang said very bluntly, why don't His Majesty bestow the land, and then hand over the rest to the ministers or the East Palace for development?
It would be too stupid to have money but not make money. How can money not be money?
Li Shimin thought for a while, but in the end he was still embarrassed to make the money, so he nodded and agreed to give it to Donggong for development. Anyway, Chengqian made money, and the fat water didn't flow to outsiders. At most, Qin Cheng and other families would also share the profit. That's all.
"Money can be made, but things have to be done for me, understand?" Li Shimin warned with widened eyes.
"Your Majesty can rest assured that I will handle affairs! Absolutely let those barbarians sing their praises and praise His Majesty's wisdom and generosity!"
These attached barbarian leaders are all local emperors, and all of them are very rich. It would be too stupid not to make money.
Designate two places for development and development, this is only profitable.
There are so many real local tyrants living in Chang'an, and they will drive a lot of consumption in the future!
