Chapter 1307: On the side of the Qing emperor?
Chapter 1307 On the side of Qing Emperor?
Qin Lang nodded, "Population, the imperial court has been holding our immigration necks all these years, and there is nothing we can do about it. Up to now, the number of Han Chinese in Luzon is only one million, which is far lower than our expectation. If we want to control such a large Luzon Islands, there must be at least five million Han Chinese, which is barely enough."
Today, there are only one million Han immigrants in Luzon, but the number of natives and slaves from Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo, Funan, Chenla and other places is as high as three million. Han people do not make up the majority in Luzon. , although Qin Lang also paid great attention to this point, and deliberately transported a large number of local islanders from Luzon out through slave replacement and other means, in exchange for slaves of Turkic, Tiele, Goguryeo, Silla and other races, so that the Han talents It can be regarded as the largest clan, but the total number of slaves and subordinate natives is still twice as many as the number of Han people, which are hidden dangers.
"I'm very glad that you are still sober. In this way, after autumn, you will lead the Shiyilang and lead the fleet to attack Boni, and teach King Boni a lesson."
It would be best if Boni could be forced to sign a treaty to pay tribute to Luzon. Build a free port like Karatsu, Japan.
Now Luzon has established free trade ports in concessions in Waguo and Linyi, which have brought very rich benefits to Luzon.
"I see."
"It would be too cheap to just sign a trade treaty. The Sandakan Bay in the northeast of Borneo is a good natural port. In recent years, our merchant ships from Luzon have often traded here. Now it is considered a It's a very lively port, and the bird's nest, lobster, and timber here are all good, when you send troops to occupy Sandakan, then it will be named Yancheng."
Although there is no effort to annex Borneo for the time being, Qin Lang still plans to occupy Sandakan, which is close to Luzon and has such an excellent location and harbor.
This can be regarded as a lesson for Bo Ni to dare to support the natives of Qianhu Island to rebel against the Qin family.
"At that time, I will assist Eleven Lang with all my heart, and I will try my best to let you make decisions."
"It's still up to you to host, he just needs to learn more."
While speaking, Wei Chang, who is in his eighties, came in with a sense of immortality.
"Sanlang, there is news from Luoyang that something happened to Changsun Wuji."
"I issued an edict to cut Wuji Taifu and fief Shiyi, resettle them in Qianzhou, and supply them with first-class products."
Seeing this edict, Qin Lang frowned even tighter.
Is it finally here?
Changsun Wuji assisted the current emperor for thirteen years, but in the end he didn't get half a cent, instead he ended up ruined.
Qin Lang sighed, if Changsun Wuji knew today's result, he would have retired like himself at the beginning, and he would not have tried his best to bring up the two major cases of King Wu's rebellion and Fang Yiai's rebellion for Li Yin. Case closed.
We must know that the two major cases raised by Changsun Wuji not only killed Li Tai who was sealed in Haidong, but also further cleaned up the remnant party of King Wei, and also killed Li Ke, King of Wu, Yuanjing, King of Jing, Daozong of Jiangxia, and Li Sili, the son-in-law. , Xue Wanche and others cleaned up one by one.
Among the several prime ministers who left the edict to assist the government, Zhang Xingcheng, Gao Jifu, and Du Zhenglun have all passed away.
Li Ji was transferred to be a privy envoy, and has been fighting abroad for these years. At first, he fought against Goguryeo, then went south to fight against Silla, and then pacified Baekje. Then the Tang Dynasty fell out with Xiqi, because Li Yin spent ten years in the war After finally pacifying the Korean peninsula, the two countries of Tamra and Gaya were abolished, and the land was returned to the people. The two small countries were originally supported by the Tang Dynasty. Now it is not dead.
After the two countries accepted the reform of the land, Li Yin was full of confidence. Although the Haidong War had been fought for ten years, and Datang had suffered some damage because of it, Li Yin still believed that he had established great martial arts.
So not only did he not follow the advice of the prime ministers to recuperate, but he immediately stared at Xi and Qi again. The reason is that after Datang opened up Liaodong and North Korea, there was a huge territory in the east, but because Xi and Khitan were stuck between Liaoxi and Youzhou, the land outside the customs of Datang could only pass through the narrow and long Liaoxi Outline.
Liaodong and North Korea are so thousands of miles away, the area connected to the Central Plains is too narrow, and there are very serious strategic hidden dangers, just like the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor. If Tuyuhun occupies Qinghai, it will not be safe for the Tang Dynasty to open up the Western Regions. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty in Zhenguan Several wars were fought against Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun was finally destroyed, and only then did the prosperity and security of the Western Regions prevail.
So Li Yin believes that Xi and Khitan must be taken, otherwise they will be very uncomfortable.
Li Yin issued an edict to Xi Qi to reform the land and return it to the natives.
The two countries of Xi and Qi used to be the younger brothers of the Turks, and later they belonged to the Central Plains. These years, they have existed in the form of the governor's mansion of Juli. Because they are close to the Central Plains, there has been no war in these years. The Central Plains are prosperous, and the two countries of Xi and Qi have also enjoyed a lot of dividends. Very prosperous.
To Datang is quite respectful.
But once the Tang Dynasty wants to reform the land and return to the country, this will touch the lifeline, so naturally it is not allowed.
Ever since, the Yanshan frontier fortress started fighting again, and there was a ping-pong-pong fight.
As the top leader of the military, Li Ji's attitude in this matter is actually in support of reforming the land and returning to the bloc. The reason is of course that the two ministries of Xi and Qi continue to be imprisoned, which seriously threatens the safety of Liaodong and North Korea. After all, the imperial court has used it for so many years. Time is the hard-won ground.
With Li Ji, the privy envoy, who has always advocated reforming the land and returning to the bloc, Li Yin naturally had more confidence, so when Xi Qi rebelled and raised troops, Li Yin did not panic, and sent Li Ji to return from Liaodong and North Korea to continue his work. That's it.
It's just that Li Yin probably didn't expect that this Xi Qi is actually very strong now. Anyway, he has been fighting for two or three years, and he still fights back and forth. Although Tang Jun has always crossed Yanshan to attack, after all, the opponent can It is true even now.
At this time, Li Yin's sudden decree to remove Wuji's official title and fiefdom seemed quite sudden, after all, there was still a war outside.
But in fact, Li Yin's liquidation of Changsun Wuji and other veterans had already begun. After Changsun Wuji set off two major conspiracy cases to cleanse Wu Wangke's bereaved wife Xue Wanche and others, Li Yin started.
First, Liu Shi, who was part of the Changsun Wuji party, was demoted to the governor of Zhuzhou on the grounds of leaking the forbidden Chinese language, and then he was demoted to the governor of Rongzhou, completely kicking him far away.
Then Chu Suiliang was dealt with again. Chu Suiliang was demoted once before and served as the governor of Tongzhou for three years.
But after staying in the court for another ten years, this time he was first demoted to the governor of Tanzhou, and then the governor of Guizhou.
And another important member of Changsun Wuji's party, Han Yuan was also demoted to be the governor of Zhenzhou.
By this time, the eldest grandson party was almost completely cut off.
In addition, Gao Jifu, Zhang Xingcheng, Du Zhenglun and others have passed away long ago, so there are only Xu Jingzong, Li Ji, and Yu Zhining left in the old school.
During the struggle between the emperor and Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining and Li Ji always stayed out of it, which made the emperor eliminate Changsun Wuji and others one by one.
As for Xu Jingzong, he still switched to the emperor after all, and Changsun Wuji was finally eliminated by Xu Jingzong's plan.
Xu Jingzong offered a plan to conspire against the elder Sun Wuji, just as the elder Sun Wuji conspired against his wife, Wu Wang Li Ke and others. With power in hand, it is easy to carry out a treason case.
This incident was originally planned by the emperor and Xu Jingzong, so Xu Jingzong tried the case himself, and Changsun Wuji was imprisoned without even seeing the emperor. Demoted to Qianzhou.
"Xu Jingzong is really ruthless. This is also the friendship with Changsun Wuji for many years. If you say you turn your back, you will turn your back."
Qin Lang just chuckled.
Although Xu Jingzong was supported by him alone, Qin Lang knew very well that when Xu Jingzong had interests, it was okay to be an ally, but it was impossible for him to treat him wholeheartedly.
What's more, Xu Jingzong is such a smart person, he has long seen that the conflict between Li Yin and Changsun Wuji is fierce, he will either be like Chu Suiliang and others, stick to the same heart with Changsun Wuji, and fight the emperor to the death, but the consequences can be seen, Absolutely not good. So he had secretly turned to the emperor for allegiance, and it was better to follow the emperor than to follow the uncle of the country.
The emperor wanted to kill Changsun Wuji, but Xu Jingzong was just using a knife.
In essence, it was still a conflict caused by Li Yin's dissatisfaction with the veteran prime ministers and his desire to take back his power. Although Xu Jingzong was also a veteran prime minister, he didn't want to and dare not fight with the emperor.
"Changsun Wuji has fallen, and there will probably be a bigger storm!"
At the beginning, grandson Wuji set off two major rebellion cases, and how many people were purged. Famous generals like Xue Wanche and Li Sili could not escape death, but the emperor's uncle Jing Wang Yuanjing, emperor Pu Wangtai, Wu Wangke, brother-in-law Fang Yiai, etc. All were killed.
Now, how could Li Yin let Changsun Wuji and his comrades go.
Before, Han Yuan, Chu Suiliang and others were only demoted, but that was because Changsun Wuji hadn’t fallen yet. Now that Changsun Wuji has fallen, there must be a final reckoning.
It is impossible for Changsun Wuji to really give him the first-class treatment and enjoy his old age in Qianzhou.
"Isn't Saburo going to do something?"
Qin Lang smiled, "What to do? What can I do, do I want to play the banner of the Qing emperor?" Wei Chang is one of his own, and there are no other outsiders here, so Qin Lang speaks directly.
Although many people now say that Zhongshu Ling Xu Jingzong, Shizhong Li Yifu, etc. are treacherous ministers, they quote each other with Wang Dejian, Cui Yixuan, Yuan Gongyu, Hou Shanye, etc., and they are in collusion, stealing power, and bewitching the emperor.
But Qin Lang couldn't be on the side of the Qing emperor, Lu Song had much power.
He is now the king of Luzon County, the grand master, and his status is respected, but if he really raises troops, how many people in the court will support him.
With Li Ji's **** nature, it is estimated that the first one will write a letter and lead troops to crusade.
Perhaps a disciple like Su Dingfang would not stand by his side.
"Forget it, we just need to take care of ourselves, we can't take care of so far, so much!"
"Are you really sitting back and watching Changsun Wuji and the others get killed?"
"Actually, I persuaded him before I retired, but he didn't want to leave." Qin Lang sighed, "Besides, how many people were unjustly killed when he launched two major treason cases, who doesn't know how these two cases turned out? What? I wrote to persuade him, did he listen to my advice? "
Wei Chang also sighed, "Indeed, if the emperor is like this, what can the courtiers do? Pei Ju served Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty, and the world called him a traitorous minister. In the Tang Dynasty, he served the two emperors, Gao Zu and Sheng Zu, but he was called loyal and virtuous. Hehe .”
"Yeah, huh!"
