Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3263
Since the early years of the Tang Dynasty, after His Majesty Li Er pacified the Turks in the four directions, he established the "Jimizhou" system in various places.

"Ji, the head of a horse's head;

"Ma Yunji, Niu Yunyu, saying that controlling the barbarians is like cattle and horses being restrained."

In this way, the Hu people in the frontier were restrained and governed.

However, even though they are both "Jimizhou", the actual situation is quite different, and they are divided into various jurisdiction methods.

The first type is Jimi prefectures and counties established in areas under the influence of the military power of the Tang Dynasty. Its chiefs are hereditary from the tribal leaders, and their internal affairs are autonomous, and they pay tribute, but they have some responsibilities, such as being loyal to the central government and providing Army supplies even assisted the Tang army in combat and so on.

Datang regards it as part of the territory, and the document uses "Chi".

The second type is the internal vassal state, such as Nanzhao, etc., which are generally named khan or county king, and have their own territory, but the political legitimacy of their leaders comes from the canonization of the Central Plains government, and they cannot be autonomous. The Central Plains regime regards them as Your servant, the document uses "the emperor asks".

The third type is the so-called "enemy country" and "absolute country", such as Goguryeo, etc. Although there may be canonization, most of them are ratification of the actual situation. The documents promulgated by Chang'an often use "respectful questions from the emperor".

Undoubtedly, the first type is actually the territory of the Tang Dynasty, while the latter type is just the surrounding vassal states to show respect for the Tang Dynasty, and is actually no different from foreign countries.

The people of Huihe are fierce, brave and good at fighting, and the tribe is prosperous with more than one million people. If such a powerful tribe is allowed to obtain a place where they can multiply and live, it will become a behemoth in a few decades, which will not only seriously threaten The rule of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions may even raise tigers, which directly threatens the stability of Guanzhong.

The reason why the Turks enslaved Huihe was that they must be pushed forward in every battle. It was precisely this that consumed Huihe so that it could not grow bigger and became a confidant's trouble.

Fang Jun naturally knows the bravery of Huihe, but he knows more about its rebelliousness. Such a tribe can only be used by me under the suppression and restraint of the Tang Dynasty. How can I let it multiply and grow until it becomes as dangerous as Tubo? The existence of the Datang regime?

So he shook his head resolutely and said, "It's absolutely impossible!"

Tu Midu's eyes were wide open, he held the two corners of the table in front of him with his hands open, his upper body leaned forward slightly, and his whole body burst into momentum, like a goshawk flying above the nine heavens swooping down, intending to catch the prey on the ground , Shen Sheng said: "This is the wish of all Huihe people. If Datang agrees, Huihe people will be loyal to Datang from generation to generation. If there is a rebellious heart, both humans and gods will abandon it! If Datang does not agree, Ben Khan will leave at this moment , and in the future, we can only let the Turks drive us to fight against the Tang Dynasty!"

As a Huihe Khan, he has a noble status and authority, and the Hu people in the grassland are naturally bold and unrestrained. This time, he is aggressive and aggressive. If he is replaced by someone with a weaker heart, he may be oppressed before he turns back. The next one is submissive and frightened.

But how could Fang Jun be afraid of him?

Even more indifferent to his threats, he still sat upright like a mountain, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "The sweat is majestic and majestic, he is an outstanding person in the world, and I admire him. Datang is close to Huihe, but for Huihe's But the attitude will not change, and the national policy of the Tang Dynasty is even more impossible to change. In this way, the Great Khan please go back to the Yazhang, and from now on, he will still be the lackey of the Turks, let him be driven, and be slaves for generations, so that generations of Huiheerlang will be The Turks go to charge and fight until the last drop of blood is drained and the last person dies, and the bones of the Huihe people are used to build a monument for the Turks across the Western Regions! It is the same sentence, if the soldiers meet on the battlefield in the future, I will definitely collect the bones for the Khan and choose a place to bury them, so that the sympathy we have today when we meet today is worthwhile."

Inside the Yuting, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point, the two looked at each other, their swords were on the verge of breaking up, and they were about to break up and go their separate ways.

However, after a while, the situation gradually eased down.

Tu Midu, who kept saying that he was willing to let the Turks drive him to fight the bloody battle with Datang to the end, remained motionless. He spoke harshly, but he didn't have the slightest intention of getting up and leaving.

With a tough attitude, Fang Jun, who seems to have regarded Huihe as a strong enemy, has no intention of leaving...

The wind whistled outside the rain pavilion, and snowflakes fell on the coarse linen curtain.

After a long time, Fang Jun took off the jug on the charcoal basin, filled the wine glass in front of Tumidu with warm wine, and said with a smile, "It's not too late to leave after drinking the wine."

The muscles on Tumidu's face eased up, a puff of air came out of his nostrils, he let out a "hum", retracted his hand holding the corner of the table, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, ignoring the boiling water.

Fang Jun also raised his glass and took a sip, relaxed his limbs slightly, and said with a smile: "Khan is so heroic, I admire it very much. It's just that a man who understands current affairs is a hero, and he should see the current situation clearly and make rational decisions in order to lead the way. Huihe embarked on the road of stability and prosperity, and became a hero worshiped by future generations."

Tumidu ignored Fang Jun, filled another glass of wine on his own, held the glass in his hand, pondered for a while, and asked: "Mr. Yue may as well tell you about the conditions of the Tang Dynasty, so that Ben Khan can think about it. So as not to test each other like this and hurt your relationship."

How could he not know that it is absolutely impossible for the Tang Dynasty to allow Huihe to establish a country on its own, but only to belong to the Tang Dynasty in name?It was just a trial just now.

Asking prices all over the place to pay back the money on the spot, the price is higher, and there is naturally more room for bargaining...

Fang Jun put down his wine glass and said, "First of all, Huihe can build Jiji Prefecture by itself, but it must be under the jurisdiction of Datang. The appointment and dismissal of khans must be canonized by the Emperor of Datang, and a certain amount of taxes must be paid every year. Some troops will be sent to assist Datang in the war. obligation."

"no!"

Tu Midu categorically rejected it, and glared at him angrily, "What's the difference between that and now? Right now, he is enslaved by the Turks, and his clan sons are treated as livestock and driven ahead, and there are countless casualties in every battle. After the surrender, he will be enslaved by the Tang Dynasty." In the war, Huiheerlang still has to charge forward, so why should Ben Khan take the risk of being hated by the Turks and surrender to the Tang Dynasty?"

Fang Jun knocked on the table, frowned and said, "Self-government! Doesn't Khan not understand these two words? The Turkic people regard Huihe as slaves, and drive you ahead in battle, regardless of casualties. But After being attached to the Tang Dynasty, although the Jimi Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, the affairs of the state were all managed by Huihe himself. The Turkic people are all dancing happily, but as long as His Majesty ends the Eastern Expedition, and millions of troops return to Guanzhong and go straight out of the Western Regions, can these jumping beam clowns stop the Tang army's full blow? At that time, these guys will be like chickens and dogs. One hit and one blow! Will Huihe be willing to be driven by the Turks to fight to the death with the Tang army, to accept the fierce attack of the Tang army's strong bow and firearms, or to stand in the Tang army's formation and pacify the Western Regions with a crushing force?"

Tumidu fell silent.

Huihe is not strong enough, and can only survive by relying on the strong, and which one is stronger and weaker between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, so it goes without saying?The Turkic Khanate founded by Ashina Tumen back then occupied Mobei when it was at its strongest. Its territory was from the west of the Liaohai Sea in the east, thousands of miles away from the West Sea in the west, from the north of the desert in the south, and five or six thousand miles in the north to the North Sea. , there were more than [-] people who controlled and dazzled, and they dared not obey the order, but it was not because they were defeated by the Tang Dynasty, which was not long after the founding of the country. Even Jieli Khan became a prisoner and was escorted to Chang'an Yu Li Er Dance in front of His Majesty?
Right now, the strength of the army in the Tang Dynasty is more than double what it was back then. Naturally, there is no need to argue about the strength of the army.

Being driven by the Turks to fight against the Tang Dynasty and helping the Tang Dynasty counterattack the Turks are two completely different things...

After a long while, Tu Midu said gloomyly: "What else?"

Fang Jundao: "Secondly, the Khan intends to build the Jumi Prefecture in the old place of Shule Kingdom, which is definitely not possible. The sky is over, and the imperial court can allow Huihe to settle the situation in Khotan."

Shule Kingdom is the later Kashgar, surrounded by mountains on three sides and open on one side, with the Tianshan Mountains lying on the north and the Pamirs in the west, the Karakorum Mountains in the south, and the Taklamakan Desert in the east.The alluvial plains of the Yarkand River and Kashgar River surrounded by mountains and deserts are like green gemstones embedded in it.

It is located at the intersection of the southern and northern roads of the Western Regions, and is one of the most important towns on the Silk Road. It has been the main import and export of east-west traffic since ancient times.

How can such an important town that tightly strangles the Silk Road make it fall into the hands of the powerful Huihe?

As long as the current situation fluctuates slightly, the Huihe people can easily cut off the smooth flow of the Silk Road and isolate things, and the harm is too great.
