Chapter 202 Control (seeking monthly ticket subscription)

Tudiji is a man of action, and after receiving various promises from Yang Tong, he left with a few merchants after breakfast.

In Chaoyang Hall, only Yang Tong and Ling Jing were left.

"His Highness intends to support Su Mobu?" Ling Jing asked:
"It should be said that Emperor Wen supported Sumo Mohe. This Tudiji is still very loyal. It would be good to let them participate in the prevention of Heishui Mohe and Goguryeo."

The farther north of Pegasus County and Xiangping County is surprisingly cold, which is not suitable for the people of the Central Plains to live in. Moreover, the Central Plains Dynasty did not even develop the treasure land of Jiangnan. How could Yang Tong have the interest to go to this bitter cold place?

Direct rule will not be realized at all. This arrangement is to bring the Sumo tribe into the sphere of influence of the Sui Dynasty, and drive a nail into the interior of the Mohe, thereby reducing the pressure on the defenders in the Liaodong area; the second is to add a shackle to the Sumo Mohe , obeying the Xiangping decree, they would not be able to take up the banner of the Sui Dynasty and annex the neighbors, because he knew that both Wanyan Aguda and Nurhachi started their businesses in this way.

Although Mohe is divided into eight parts, the main ones are the Sumo part in the south and the Heishui Mohe in the north.

in history.

Due to different political orientations, the Mohe people took different paths. Sumo Mohe was deeply influenced by the culture of the Han family, and they were attached to it during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. They actively accepted the civilization of the Central Plains, and finally established the civilized and developed Bohai County. However, due to the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Bohai County lost the support of the Central Plains Dynasty and was eventually annihilated by Khitan.

Heishui Mohe rejected the civilization of the Central Plains. They still maintained the traditional fishing and hunting life and serf society. They finally evolved into the Jurchens and established the Jin Dynasty and later the Qing Dynasty.
Yang Tong understands this very well, so he also attaches great importance to Sumo Mohe who is willing to attach himself to Han civilization.

Moreover, it was not the first time that Tudiji, the chief of the Sumo tribe, had been in contact with the Sui Dynasty.

As early as the Kaihuang period, Goguryeo aggressively invaded Sumo Mohe, and Sumo Mohe was invincible. The eight tribes of Hulai, Poxi, and Bubukuoli, with tens of thousands of people, moved from the northwest of Fuyu City to the south of Liaodong, requesting to be attached to the Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty arranged them to live in Liaoxi County. After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne and passed away, Tudiji was promoted to the leader of the Sumo Tribe and led his tribe. Yang Guang named him Doctor Jinzi Guanglu.

In the eighth year of Daye, Tudiji led his troops to follow Yang Guangdong to conquer Goguryeo. He made meritorious service in every battle and was rewarded generously.Soon, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty set up Liaoxi County, appointed Tudiji as the prefect of Liaoxi, and granted him the title of Marquis of Fuyu.

In the ninth year and tenth year of the great cause, Yang Guang once again conquered Goguryeo, and Tudiji also led his troops to follow him.When they arrived at the siege of Yanmen, Tudiji was ordered by King Qin, and soon returned to Liucheng.It's just that the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty made him and the tribe feel insecure, and they were afraid of being retaliated by Goguryeo, so the tribe returned to their homeland.When the power of the Tang Dynasty extended to Youzhou, Tudiji sent envoys to pay tribute.Later, Liu Heikai rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and Tudiji led his troops to follow Li Shimin to defeat Liu Heitai on the bank of Luoshui River. , Sudiji led his troops to break through and open the way.The first official of Zhenguan paid homage to General Youwei and gave him the surname Li.

His son Li Jinxing was even more remarkable. He was a famous general during the Li Zhi period. He suppressed the rebellion of the Goguryeo general Jian Mucen and defeated Silla who supported the restoration of Goguryeo.Tubo Lun Qinling and others led 10 people to attack Huangzhong. Li Jinxing retreated the enemy with an empty city plan, and defeated tens of thousands of Tubo people in Qinghai.As a minority general, he made outstanding military exploits on the east and west battlefields of the Tang Dynasty, and made outstanding contributions to the consolidation of the Tang Dynasty's border defense. After his death, he was given to the governor of Youzhou and buried with Qianling. The only fan general among clan relatives and heroes.

In general, the Tudiji family has fought hundreds of battles for the Central Plains Dynasty since the Sui Kaihuang year, which can be said to have contributed to the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Central Plains!

Yang Tong was very happy to accept such a loyal alien. What made him even more satisfied was the attitude shown by Tu Diji when he said that he wanted all the children of Mi Mohe to go to Liucheng, Shuangliao County. In the past 20 years, a solid foundation has been laid for complete Sinicization, which is much easier than assimilating Turks.

Although it is temporarily impossible to extend his hands to the wider Northeast territory beyond the Great Wall of Liaodong to achieve real occupation, it does not mean that Yang Tong has no way to control it. Yamen like Duhufu are just military deterrents. The so-called 'Guardian's Mansion' is somewhat similar to an embassy in nature, and there is no way to intervene in local military and political affairs.

The centralized teaching of Sumomohe children is only part of Yang Tong's gradual Sinicization of Sumomohe, but the real killer move is the vendors who will flood into Liaodong.

These people can use good wine, porcelain, silk and other goods to continuously flow the wealth of millet mohe into the Sui Dynasty. When all millet is used in Yanhuang Tongbao, the Sui Dynasty will form economic control over millet mohe. Mohe was disobedient and closed the Great Wall pass, making them cry with a bunch of Yanhuang Tongbao.

Ling Jing said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Sumo Mohe will become the second Turkic."

Yang Tong said: "I didn't let the Mohe people grow up, and I didn't want to support it as the overlord of Liaodong. I just asked Sumo Mohe to guard against Goguryeo and Heishui Mohe. Of course, if they were attached, they would accept the arrangement of ten households and one village. system, I will accept it.”

Ling Jing saw that Yang Yu had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him, but reminded: "Those who are not of my race must have a different heart. I think Tudiji is very similar to Qimin. Your Highness uses him, but we must guard against him. It’s safe to think long-term.”

"So control it culturally and economically!"

"I understand the culture, it's the Sinicization of Sumomohe; how can this be explained by the economy?" Ling Jing was a little confused.

"I asked the officials of the Ministry of Commerce to evaluate and price the items of Su Mo Mohe. In name, it is convenient for trading, but in fact it is not kind! When Su Mo Mohe collects Yanhuang Tongbao as a symbol of wealth, we only need to change a coin , the wealth earned by Su Momohe can be plundered and all of them become paupers. This kind of inhumane and inhumane tactics, I call it economic warfare..."

Looking at Yang Tong's bright smile, Ling Jing shuddered: This King of Qin, I really don't know how he grew up, but in the blink of an eye, he carried out such a trick on Su Mohe.

"You are the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce. You should know this economic war. If you play it well, it is more terrifying than hand-to-hand combat!" Yang Tong introduced the economic warfare of later generations, and then explained the various methods one by one. Ling Jing heard the epoch-making war. Nodding again and again, just like a child being taught.

Ling Jing is also a resourceful person in the world, and his ability to understand new things is not inferior to others.Yang Tong's uncommon words that only later generations made him a little confused, but as long as he contacted the upper and lower sides, he could guess out nine out of ten, and generally understood what Yang Tong meant. His expression was deeply shocked, and he couldn't help it. Shouting at the case, he said: "It turns out that wars can still be fought like this! Your Highness has a wonderful idea, and I am convinced!"

He stood up, and said with strange eyes: "Your Highness, I want to manage the Ministry of Commerce for the rest of my life, and carry out this kind of economic plundering war to the surrounding tribes.!"

"Do you want to manage the Ministry of Commerce for the rest of your life?" A look of surprise flashed across Yang Tong's face. The economy can be said to be the most boring. He originally thought that Ling Jing would like the army more. After all, he is good at intriguing military strategies. .

"His Royal Highness's economic war has deeply inspired the people. If the Ministry of Commerce is built well, it will surely become the foundation of the world. I am willing to use my whole life to lay the foundation for Your Highness's great cause and create a great dynasty that surpasses the strong." Ling As soon as Jing Jing said this, a strong arrogance spread, like a phoenix flying nine days, looking down on the mountain top.

"I didn't expect Jingzhi to attach so much importance to economic warfare!" Yang Tong smiled admiringly.

Ling Jing's eyes showed a trace of admiration: "Your Highness has a long-term vision, and you can see the lifeline of controlling the surrounding alien races from the coins, which will make future wars more complicated. As long as my Great Sui coins go, the alien races will be controlled by them." I am Da Sui, this is definitely an immortal pioneering work, and the humble minister has really benefited a lot."

Yang Tong nodded and said, "Diversification of wars is inevitable for the development of the world, but these are just speculations. If I can't rule the world, economic wars are meaningless."

Ling Jingdao: "Your Highness knows how to use people well, cares about his ministers, and loves the people. There are countless elite soldiers and strong generals under his command. The layout of the world is vast and profound. As long as the three and a half states are consolidated, they will surely sweep the land of the Central Plains, end the troubled times, and complete the unification of the world."

"Our monarchs and ministers are united as one, and I am not afraid of any challenges! For the great cause, everyone should encourage each other!" Yang Tong said with great confidence.
