Capital Datang

"Prairie cavalry?" Li Yin looked at Wang An in the study with some doubts.As soon as Wang An came back from Dengzhou today, he immediately ran to tell himself that there was a prairie cavalry that could be used by him, which made Li Yin a little puzzled for a while, wondering why Wang An suddenly mentioned the matter on the prairie to him?

Seeing Li Yin's "confused" expression, Wang An smiled slightly, and told in detail what he had learned from the previous meeting with Duer, especially the tragic situation of those tribes that were not tolerated by the Tang Dynasty.And Li Yinyuehou was also very excited, and finally slammed the table and said: "Wang Fu, I agree to this matter!"

But as soon as Li Yin's words fell, he thought of another question, and immediately frowned and said: "I am indeed short of troops now, and these grassland people are a good sword, but they definitely can't stay on the grassland anymore , In this way, it is also a trouble to arrange them."

Duer's tribe obstructed Datang's grassland plan, so there is no place for them on the grassland, and Li Yin wants to use them as his sword, and he will never allow their tribe to stay on the grassland , Only when these tribes are completely in his own hands can Li Yin use them with confidence.

However, Wang An had thought of this problem a long time ago, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, this matter is extremely simple for you. There are many overseas islands. As long as those grassland tribes are placed in a place suitable for living They are allowed to multiply and thrive on the islands, but they are not allowed to master any shipbuilding and sailing skills. Only the men are recruited into the army immediately after they reach adulthood, and they are allowed to reunite with their families at regular intervals. They must stay in the army at other times. In this way, Your Highness will have an inexhaustible source of troops, and as long as the island is within our control, then we don’t have to worry about any backlash from them!"

Hiss~, Li Yin gasped after hearing this, and looked at Wang An with some weird eyes. People say that the most poisonous woman's heart, but now it seems that Wang An is the most poisonous. The heart of a scholar.The method he proposed was too poisonous. It was like raising these prairie people in captivity like livestock, but unlike livestock, they had to sacrifice their lives to their masters.Fight bloody for the master.

Seeing the expression on Li Yin's face, Wang An immediately guessed what he was thinking, but he did not show any embarrassment, but smiled and said: "Your Highness, the barbarians in the grassland have always been me. The confidant of the Central Plains Dynasty has long had an indissoluble hatred with us Han people for thousands of years. Now the court wants to wipe out this feud in one fell swoop, so as long as those who dare to resist, they will inevitably be destroyed. Even Xue Yantuo Most of them can't do it, so the demise of Duer and his tribe can be said to be inevitable, and now if His Highness can save his life, he will naturally ask for some due reward!"

After hearing this, Li Yin also nodded.Anyway, Duer's tribes will perish sooner or later, he might as well use the waste and become a sword in his hand.In order to continue their tribe, let alone after going overseas.Maybe their living environment is much better than that on the grasslands, at least they don't have to worry about the heavy snow disasters they encounter every now and then.

Think here.Li Yin finally felt at ease, and began to discuss with Wang An on which island should the attached prairie people be placed?This is a big problem. If you want the prairie people to have no rebellious heart, then this island cannot be too close to the mainland, but too far away is not conducive to Li Yin's control, and the area should not be too small. After all, those prairie people are not It's just Duer's Luoyun tribe, and some other grassland tribes. I'm afraid there are not a few of these people together. If the area is too small, they won't be able to accommodate them at all.

With so many requests, Li Yin and Wang An couldn't think of a suitable place for a while. Finally, the two took out the map and discussed each place. Taiwan would definitely not work first, which is one of Li Yin's scheduled base camps. These prairie people will not be allowed to live there at all, and Luzon is a big island, but the status there is too important, and there will definitely be many ships in the future. It is not safe to put the prairie people there. A large number of ships can be controlled immediately, and several other large islands in the South China Sea are too far away, so it seems that none of them is a suitable place.

Now Li Yin and Wang An were scratching their heads a little. Finally, when Wang An moved his finger to Wa Kingdom, he suddenly said with some regret: "Wa Kingdom is a good place to house them, but unfortunately it is too close to the mainland. There is only one strait, and when the weather is fine, a sampan can cross it, which is really not suitable for housing those barbarians in the grassland."

Um?Li Yin was taken aback when he heard this, but Wang An's words reminded him that there is a place in the Wa Kingdom that is very suitable for housing those Hu people. To be precise, that place is not the territory of the Wa Kingdom, it should be called Eminu.

Ezo is the Hokkaido of the later generations. It is the second largest island in the four islands of Japan after Honshu Island. It is located at the northernmost tip of the Japanese archipelago.

The livestock production area, and Ezo is quite a distance from the mainland. If the strait between Ezo and Honshu Island is blocked, then it will almost become an isolated place, coupled with the remote location, few The ship will go there, it can be said to be a very ideal place to settle.

"It's here." Thinking of this, Li Yin suddenly slapped the table and pointed to the northernmost point of Wa Kingdom on the map.But there is nothing there, because Ezo still belongs to the Wa Kingdom, and few people even in the Tang Dynasty know that there is a very huge island at the northernmost tip of the Wa Kingdom. It is precisely because of this that Wang An mentioned the Wa Kingdom , but did not mention Ezo.

Wang An looked at the blank space pointed by Li Yin but was puzzled, wondering if His Highness wanted to throw all the barbarians into the sea?If that's the case, it's better to leave them alone and let people like Duer fend for themselves.

Seeing Wang An's expression, Li Yin couldn't help laughing complacently. The so-called knowledge is power. No matter how wise Ren Wang An is, it's a pity that he doesn't know that there is a big island in the north of Wa Kingdom, so even if he wants to break his head, he can't. Can't think of a place to put the Hu people.

And when Wang An heard Li Yin's explanation, he was also a little surprised at the moment. He thought it would be a difficult problem to settle the barbarians, but he didn't expect that there is a big island in the extreme north of the country of Wa. Even God is helping His Royal Highness King Qi.

After discussing the resettlement of the barbarians in the grassland, Li Yin summoned Duer again, asked about their tribe's situation, and also briefly talked about his arrangements for them, telling them that if they want to survive, they must listen to their own. He arranged to leave the grassland, but he didn't tell them about their going to Ezo in the future.

Duer is a very self-aware person, and he also has a very clear understanding of the difficulties faced by the tribe, so he agreed to Li Yin's conditions without any hesitation. Compared to this, the conditions proposed by His Royal Highness King Qi are undoubtedly extremely generous.In addition, Duer also said that he will do everything possible to contact other desperate tribes and try his best to persuade them to follow His Royal Highness King Qi.

For Duer who is so knowledgeable, Li Yin also appreciates it very much, and told him very straightforwardly that as long as their Luoyun tribe can gather 10 people, then he will appoint Luoyun tribe as the leader of these tribes and manage these tribes on his behalf .

Hearing Li Yin's promise, Duer was shocked immediately, knelt down and promised to do his best to recruit people.And Wang An also smiled back, thinking that His Highness's methods are really powerful. Once this promise is made, the Luoyun tribe will definitely try their best to win over other tribes. After all, the more people there are, the better people they will manage in the Luoyun tribe. , and the benefits they get from it will naturally be greater.

For Li Yin, who is currently short of troops, these grassland tribes like Duer are undoubtedly troops that fell from the sky, and these barbarians are different from Silla, Baekje, and the slaves they bought. They are much stronger than the Baekje soldiers, and the family members are in their own hands, so Li Yin can fully trust these people and regard them as a sword for his outward expansion, just like the Cossack cavalry in the hands of the later Russian tsars.

For such an important matter, Li Yin couldn't just let Duer's Luoyun tribe do it, and Wang An also understood the significance of this matter to Li Yin, so he volunteered to go back to the grassland with Duer on purpose, With him as Wang Fu, the Luoyun Tribe will be more confident when persuading other tribes.Capital Datang 358

Although Li Yin is very reluctant to part with Wang An's arm, there is indeed no one more suitable than him around him. After all, their Taiyuan Wang family has a great influence on the grassland, and Wang An is also very familiar with the situation on the grassland. , so if he comes forward, it can get twice the result with half the effort.

Based on the above considerations, Li Yin finally agreed to let Wang Andur go to the grassland, but in order to protect his safety, Li Yin divided the guards of the palace around him into 500 people.This made Wang An very grateful. After preparing some things, he left Sibi by boat the next day, directly entered the Yellow River channel to Taiyuan, and then reached the grassland via Taiyuan.

At the same time, Li Yin wrote a letter to Li Shimin in his own hand, explaining the difficulty he wanted to face in terms of military strength and the plan of the grassland tribes like Duer, and hoped that the emperor would provide some convenience and stop attacking for the time being. Dur these tribes.

After Li Yin wrote the letter, he sent someone to Dengzhou immediately, and then sent it to Chang'an by means of flying pigeons. With such a speed, when Wang An arrived on the grassland, Li Shimin's order would also be issued to the grassland. The Tang army will not delay Wang An's recruitment of grassland tribes.

As for whether Li Shimin will agree to this matter, it is not in Li Yin's consideration. First, his emperor's father is very supportive of him, and second, he recruited those grassland tribes away, which can be regarded as helping Datang solve a problem. Trouble, after all, if he really raises his troops to attack, Datang will have to pay a certain price. Now that he can send those prairie barbarians away without spending a penny, Li Shimin has no reason to refuse.It's just that Li Yin didn't know it, but Chang'an was already arguing about one thing.To be continued. )
