bastard seizes tang

Chapter 925
Gongri Gongzan is Tubo Zanpu. With his surrender, it became easier for Datang to surrender the Tubo officials.

Li Ke entered the Potala Palace, detained Gongri Gongzan, recruited Tubo officials in his name, maintained the order of the land, comforted the people, and stabilized the situation in the land in the shortest possible time.

After stabilizing his logic a bit, Li Ke ordered Siru to surrender to the Tang Dynasty with Gongri Gongzan.The Fan tribes in various parts of Tubo were already difficult to defeat the Tang army, but they encouraged resistance, and now they have the order of Gongri Gongzan, except for a very few places that are still stubbornly resisting, the rest are all looking forward to the wind and surrendering.

Tang's army was powerful, far from being comparable to that of Tubo, and there was no one in Tubo who could help Tubo to survive, so the remaining places that were still stubbornly resisting were just dying and could not last for a few days.

One month later, following the trend of the times, the generals of the Tang army had wiped out the entire territory of Tubo, a large plateau country, and all the land in southern Tibet was owned by the Tang Dynasty and accepted as Tang soil.

With the return of the entire territory of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty, the battle of Li Ke Yujia's westward expedition has gradually come to an end, and the rest is how to govern Tubo after the war.

The Great War has been decided, the Tubo kingdom is broken, and the four armies of the Tang Dynasty, more than [-] troops will join forces in this former capital of Tubo.

In Xinde, a land in the south of Tibet, the Tubo people must have a lot of resistance to the control of the Tang army, so the Tang army must have garrisoned in Tubo.

But the garrison is a garrison, how to garrison, where to garrison, and who is the commander, this is what matters, especially the selection of the commander.

Because although Tubo has been settled now, the situation in southern Tibet is not good, so the commander stationed in Tubo this time must be in charge of a heavy army. Li Ke is an absolutely trustworthy confidant.

Luo some city, the Potala Palace.

Li Ke is meeting with his favorite candidate for the coach, the coach of the North Road Army, the governor of Liangzhou - Pei Xingjian.

First of all, when it comes to Li Ke's trust, Pei Xingjian is naturally indispensable. Pei Xingjian is Li Ke's Qianlong hero. When Li Ke was still in Taiyuan as the governor of Bingzhou, Pei Xingjian was at Li Ke's side and followed Li Ke for many years.

As for ability, Pei Xingjian is not lacking. Pei Xingjian comes from a famous family in Hedong. He is a handsome young man. His literature is in Hongwenguan. His martial arts is from Su Dingfang.

And the most important point is that Pei Xingjian knows Li Ke's thoughts, and he can implement Li Ke's will here without any omission, so as to govern southern Tibet.

"The land in southern Tibet is newly acquired, and the ups and downs are uneasy. I don't feel at ease if the non-confidant ministers sit in this place. I have discussed with the king. I want to set up the Southern Tibet Governor's Mansion here. I will take you as the first Southern Tibet Governor. Take the position of the third rank of the Tongzhongshu sect, and hold the position for three years." Pei Xingjian is a confidant, and Li Ke does not beat around the bush, and he talks to Pei Xingjian when he comes up.

The Protectorate of South Tibet is higher than the Protectorate of Northern Anbei, both of which are the Protectorate of the Upper Capital, and the official of the Protectorate is the third grade. This official position is one level higher than that of Pei Xingjian's current Governor of Liangzhou.

Generally speaking, it is a hurdle for a military official to become a governor. For most people, even if they have reached the end, it is not easy to get promoted. But Li Ke's arrangement helped Pei Xingjian directly pass this hurdle , pushing a key step up.

And this is not the most important thing to Pei Xingjian. The most important thing is that Li Ke wrote that Pei Xingjian served as the governor of southern Tibet with the third rank of Tong Zhongshu.

The third rank of Tongzhong Shumen is usually a prime minister. Pei Xingjian is the protector of southern Tibet and is not in the center. Naturally, he will not be a prime minister, but Li Ke has directly given Pei Xingjian the status of a prime minister.

Or it can be said that Li Ke is promising Pei Xingjian in disguise that as long as Pei Xingjian returns to China for three years in the future, Li Ke will use this merit to promote him as prime minister and enter the political affairs hall.

This is a road that many people may not be able to complete in ten, twenty, or even thirty years, but Pei Xingjian only needs three years, and Li Ke's preference for his hero Qianlong has already been written on his face.

"The last general takes the order." Pei Xingjian immediately bowed and took the order.

After Pei Xingjian took the order, Li Ke asked: "The control of southern Tibet must have been a combination of military and government in the early years. This matter must not be sloppy. Do you care about it?"

When Li Ke asked, Pei Xingjian didn't dare to answer hastily, and after thinking for a long time, he replied: "There are two ways, civil and military, to garrison troops at different points, and to administer lenient and severe punishments."

Li Ke heard the words, smiled, and said: "What is the point of garrisoning troops, let's talk about it carefully."

Pei Xingjian replied: "The land in southern Tibet is vast, and the people are scattered widely. If the troops are stationed in various places, the military expenditure will be huge, and the finances will not be supported. Second, the troops will be insufficient and it will be difficult to maintain. Therefore, the general thinks that our army The garrisons do not need to be widely distributed, as long as they guard the important towns and fortresses, and the rest are handed over to the local soldiers and horses, they can be preserved in the south."

Li Ke asked: "Where are the troops stationed, do you care?"

Pei Xingjian replied: "Luoxie City, Gechuanyi, Damu City, Pulan Pass, Pibo City, these few places are enough."

The places mentioned by Pei Xingjian, Luoxie City is the capital of the Tubo Kingdom and the largest city in southern Tibet; Gechuanyi is a fortress that divides southern Tibet and northern Tibet, and military strategists must fight for it; Damucheng is a barrier in Luoxie, the largest city in the north; Pulan Pass separates Tubo and Xiangxiong, and the military strategists lock the key; while Pibo City is the old capital of Tubo, and it is also a place of prosperity.

These places are either important towns rich in resources and people, or fortresses that choke the throat. The main Tang army still holds these places, so the Tang army can always firmly control the situation in southern Tibet and Tubo.

On this point, Pei Xingjian's thoughts coincided with Li Ke's.

Li Ke then asked: "What about lenient government and severe punishment? Since it is severe punishment, how can we lenient the government? What does this mean?"

Pei Xingjian replied: "The so-called lenient government and severe punishment are two things, and they should not be generalized. The lenient government is newly acquired by Tubo, and the people are newly attached to it. The lenient government and lenient laws can win the hearts of the people. But after all, Tubo is not as good as the Central Plains, and the folk customs are strong It is hard to control the common people, if we only practice leniency, I am afraid that it will not work, and those who break the law will be severely punished, and no pardon will be granted, so that everyone can be deterred.”

After hearing these words, Li Ke probably understood the meaning of Pei Xingjian. Tubo has just descended, and there are many rebellious people among the people. Pei Xingjian wants to relax the law and give the Tubo people more freedom, so as to win over and calm people's hearts. , but for those who ignore the law and violate the law, they will be punished severely, so as to imitate others.This can ensure that the Tubo people can obey the control of the Tang army to the greatest extent.

Li Ke nodded approvingly, and said: "What you said is reasonable. I will hand over Tubo to you. I am relieved. I have been away from Beijing for more than half a year. There must be a king in the country. I will return to Beijing soon. It's up to you here."

Pei Xingjian replied, "Let it go, Your Majesty, even if I die, I will live up to your majesty's entrustment."

Li Ke heard the words, thought for a while, looked at Pei Xingjian, patted her on the shoulder, and said: "You are about the same age as me, and you are my confidant and beloved general. You have followed me all the way. No matter what, I hope you live well. Accompany me to the end. In my eyes, you are more important than Tubo, don't lose your life here, I will wait for you in Chang'an."
