Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 792 The most typical rise and fall in darkness (reward for the leader Chen Yingwan)
Chapter [-] The most typical ups and downs

"Yes, of course!" He Luoshi was afraid that Chen Ying would not be willing to order an attack. From Yilie River Valley to Yibohai, it was actually the sphere of influence in the eastern part of the sea. Other tribes of Western Turks could escape, but they could not.

Once they fled with other tribes, the Western Turks did not have such a vast pasture to support hundreds of thousands of people.Compared with farming peoples, nomadic peoples need more space.For example, in this era, although agricultural output is extremely low, farmers need an average of [-] mu of land per person to support themselves, while nomads need a hundred times the grassland. Almost a herdsman needs at least [-] mu of grassland to ensure food and clothing. .

A tribe as large as Haidong needs at least 40 square kilometers of land.If they fled with the Western Turks, unless they became vassals or slaves of other tribes, there would be no way to settle such a large population.

He Luo said anxiously: "We in the east of the sea are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and take refuge in Datang, please accept it by General Chen!"

"If you are willing to surrender, it would be great, you Haidong..." Chen Ying listened to the translator's translation, and said: "Haidong has 450 eight falls and Dingkou [-]. There are more than [-] people who have lived as nomads for generations, taking the west of the Ireh Valley as their pasture area, winter and spring in the west, summer and autumn in the east.”

"General, please give Haidong a way out!" He Luoshi murmured while looking at Chen Ying pitifully.

Chen Ying ignored He Luoshi's expression, but said indifferently: "However, the Yilie River has been droughted for years, the river has dried up, and the pastures have not grown. My Majesty the Tang Dynasty is kind, and I have decided to write a letter to exchange a piece of land for Haidongdong." The more fertile pastures, you can change the name to the West Sea in the future, and I will give you all the fertile pastures from the west of Ershi City to Karal and Naryn!"

He Luoshi, who was already grief-stricken and unable to restrain himself, froze when he heard the words, he couldn't believe his ears, he really wanted to listen to Chen Ying's order again, but he was roughly pushed aside by the soldiers.He Luoshi begged the translator to translate again, and the translator impatiently repeated Chen Ying's words. He Luoshi was overjoyed when he heard the words. The area Chen Ying mentioned was actually the middle and lower reaches of the Syr Darya in later generations. The area is about 54 square kilometers and is the most fertile area of ​​the Syr Darya.The grasslands here are lush and the rainfall is sufficient. It is not a problem for the huge grassland to feed a population of 20.

He Luoshi kowtowed to Chen Ying again and again.

In fact, Chen Ying didn't have good intentions. The most fertile land in Central Asia actually belonged to the pastureland of the West Turkic Ashina family, and replaced it with the Ashina family's pasture land in Haidong District in the east of the sea.A went to land B, B went to land C, and so on. The small tribe occupied the territory of the large tribe, and the large tribe occupied the land of the larger tribe. As for the largest tribes, they would naturally disappear.

This is a story about going from side to side, or from time to time, which is a method used by monkey breeders to deal with dissatisfied monkeys. Although it is very crude, it works surprisingly well.To manage a country, the most important thing is to unite the majority, reject a small group, and lose the interests of a small group of people, so that the country can be governed well.

To be precise, any law is established by adhering to this principle. As long as you grasp a certain degree, Chen Ying thinks that you can play with it as you like.

As a vested interest group in Western Turks, the two huge tribes, the Ashina family and the Anad family, occupy the most fertile pastures in the Eastern and Western Turks, and hold more than 60.00% of the resources of the Western Turks. As the former overlord of the grassland, the Ah The Shina family, the Anade family, and the Tang Dynasty are not half as cute as can be eased. Just like in history, when Ashina Helu was at the end of his life, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but he gathered a little strength and pulled the flag in Central Asia Rebellion, he thought that with an army of [-] gathered and thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with him.

But no one thought that Su Dingfang only led [-] cavalry, and swept all the way, hitting more with less, defeating Ashina Helu, and destroying the Western Turks.

Although Su Dingfang's Western Expedition went very smoothly, Chen Ying knew that this battle was very brutal. Tang soldiers took over [-] casualties to completely capture the Western Turks and occupy Suiye Town.

Su Dingfang did a good job in history, but left sequelae. This sequela is that the strength of the Western Turks and the vassal ministries has not been fundamentally hit. The Ashina family, with the appeal of the Turkic golden blood, can pull tens of thousands of people in an instant. people who support.

Now Chen should give the Ashina family's fertile pasture to Haidong.

In fact, the eastern part of the sea has already extended three feet to the lower reaches of the Syr Darya controlled by the Ashina family, but they are not as strong as the Ashina family, so they dare not grab it.

Now, Chen Ying is backing them up. In fact, without Chen Ying’s urging, they will boost their morale and snatch the Ashina family’s ranch back. Of course, in order to allow Haidong to sleep peacefully, even without Chen Ying’s order However, the trilogy under He Luoshi's command will spare no effort to kill all the strong men of the Ashina family who are taller than the wheels. If they don't kill all the Ashina family, they may not be able to sleep well in the east of the sea.

Just after He Luoshi left, Chen Ying looked at the generals and said, "What do you think of the decision to protect the capital?"

Luo Shixin curled his lips and said: "Why bother, if you want me to say, let me lead the Xiaocavalry to attack He Luoshi's trilogy, arrest all the young and strong in the east of the sea as slaves, and go to mine for us Or build roads!"

Chen Ying just smiled at Luo Shixin's words, and naturally did not comment.

Luo Shixin looked at Chen Ying's expression, and asked in puzzlement, "Did I say something wrong?"

"You're right, it's just that the timing is wrong!" Chen Ying pointed to the night sky outside and said, "The world is so big that we can't imagine. Let alone the Tang Dynasty, we only have less than 2000 million people, even if we have 40 million people, It is also impossible to occupy the whole world. In this case, it is necessary to use solidarity to unite and fight against one faction. What's more, our Tang Dynasty has a small population, and I will feel sorry for the death of one, not to mention that there are [-] Western Turks. Those who control strings, once the war breaks out, the casualties will definitely not be one or two people, but tens of thousands of people, so the Metropolitan Guard has no choice but to take the strategy of driving away wolves and killing tigers."

Zhang Shigui said thoughtfully: "The general has made a good plan, and he is generous to others!"

Chen Ying laughed out loud.

The next morning, the sun rose in the east.Although the wind was still strong, it was still possible to march. Chen Ying ordered the troops to move out, and the generals of the Anxi Army marched towards Shule City in the Western Region.

……

Chang'an, His Royal Highness Wude of the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan looked at the memorial of Li Jiancheng being ambushed in Jizebo, and said with a gloomy expression: "Come here, quickly declare Pei Ji to enter the palace to discuss matters.

The servant left in a hurry.

Just when Li Yuan was impatient, Pei Ji came quickly and saluted Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took the memorial of Li Jiancheng's attack and said, "Pei San, what do you think?"

"This..." Pei Ji murmured. Li Jiancheng would definitely think that it was Qin Wang Li Shimin who did it. After all, the struggle between Qin Wangfu and the East Palace became increasingly fierce. Once Li Jiancheng encountered an accident, Li Shimin would be the No. 1 choice.However, everything has two sides. If Li Jiancheng wrote, directed and acted in a play, and wanted to blame King Qin, it is not impossible.

Pei Ji thought for a while and said: "I think this is the work of the remnants of the Hebei rebels. Since His Royal Highness is safe, why don't you order to kill the captured bandits!"

Hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Yuan took it for granted.

If Li Jiancheng was really tested, he was probably caused by Li Shimin, but now that Li Jiancheng is safe and sound, there is a lot of knowledge in it.Li Yuan said: "What do you think about the Western Region...?"

Pei Ji murmured: "Your Majesty, are you worried about raising tigers?"

Li Yuan nodded.

Pei Ji smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. The two rebellions in Hebei are a lesson from the past. Now that the rebellion in Hebei has just subsided, the Turks are staring at them again. How can we get rid of General Chen and the Protector of the Western Regions?"

Li Yuan frowned and said: "Chen Ying is still a hero of the imperial court. If there is no reason, how can he be dismissed from the post of Protector of the Western Regions at will. In this way, I am afraid that the civil and military hearts will be chilled."

Pei Ji rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, I have a way..."

Li Yuan asked curiously, "What way?"

Pei Ji said: "Taiwei, Sikong, and Situ are called the three lords. Your Majesty He Shui is above the three lords. He added three masters. They are called Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao. They are Shanggong...

Li Yuan showed surprise: "Shanggong?"

"That's right!" Pei Ji said, "Although Chen Concubine is the younger generation of His Majesty, but the difference between monarch and minister is that public affairs come first and then private. General Tu can be promoted from Minister of the Ministry of War to Taiwei, and the post of Minister of the Ministry of War will be vacated, and Du Fuwei will be rewarded. His Royal Highness King Qin can be promoted to Situ, and Prince Chen can be promoted to Situ. Minister, you won't lose power!"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Pei San, I really have you, Feng Chen should be Sikong!"

Situ was in charge of civil affairs, the suburban priests were in charge of saving animals, and there was a big funeral in Anzi Palace.It's just a false job, and usually doesn't have any real power, but Sikong is different, Sikong is a real job, mastering water and soil affairs.All the matters of building cities, dredging ditches, and repairing tomb defenses should be discussed for their benefits and made of their merits.All the water and soil homework in the four directions will be rewarded and punished at the end of the year.For the affairs of the suburbs, the hand sweeps the musical instruments... Every state has great doubts and admonitions, and it is the same as the Taiwei.

This Sikong is actually another name for Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but his rank is far higher than Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

In this way, Chen Ying can be stripped of his military power.

Sikong doesn't control the army, he only cares about the construction of various places.

This is the most typical rise and fall in officialdom!
PS: Finally got through, good night everyone!
