Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 997: Ye Chen's Three Strategies for Peace
Ye Chen said with a smile: "Yingcheng Linbuchi has already agreed, and the loser always has to pay some price. Yingcheng Linbuchi is a sensible person, and he is also a smart person. We will move the Tubo people to Taozhou, Liangzhou, etc. After settling in Wuzhou and Wuzhou, arrange people to teach them farming, let them transform from nomadism to settlement, set up schools there, let their children learn our Han culture, encourage Han people, Qiang people, Dangxiang people and Tubo people to intermarry, and downplay their When these children grow up, they have been acquainted with the culture of our Xiangfu country for a long time, and they are all Han people. They speak our language, and even the best of them will be admitted to Xiangfu College, and finally become Our officials, young and strong warriors among them will also become our fighters, think about it, how much difference will there be between the Tubo people and our Han people after more than ten years?"

Ma Wentao thought to himself, Your Majesty, this is a strategy of dredging the bottom line. It has been planned for more than ten years. If everything goes well, after more than ten years, these 60 Tubo people will be completely assimilated into Xiangfu people. Of course, use this as a reference Perhaps the other two Tubo kingdoms on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau combined more than 100 million Tubo people will be conquered by His Majesty's army sooner or later, and become a member of the Xiangfu Kingdom just like the Hehuang Tubo kingdom.

"Your Majesty's plan is so far-reaching, it really breaks my heart. In this way, although there will be some troubles in the migration process, but for the sake of descendants, it will indeed solve the hidden dangers of the Tubo people once and for all, so that I will enjoy the long-term peace and stability of the country. " Ma Wentao said solemnly.

"It's just that this move will cost a lot of money at the beginning, and Mr. Jia Xian of the Household Department must have a headache again!" After a pause, Ma Wentao laughed again.

Ye Chen smiled and said: "These money should be spent. This is the three strategies for me to pacify Tubo. Your Zhongshu Province must quickly dispatch capable civil officials to be responsible for the construction of cities and government offices in Qingzhou, Hezhou, and Wuzhou." As for this Taozhou, leave it to Zhang Bo! I have counted up and down the court, and it is really difficult to find a more suitable candidate than Zhang Bo."

In the second year of Tianding, on September [-]th, Tubo corner servant Luo Zanpu met Ye Chen in the Wusheng Army, formally represented the Hehuang Tubo Kingdom to express his surrender to Ye Chen, the emperor of the Xiangfu Kingdom, and voluntarily surrendered all the land of the Hehuang Tubo Kingdom, All the people were merged into Xiangfu Kingdom.And when Jiao Siluo left from Wusheng Army, the [-] Tubo cavalry around him and the [-] Tubo cavalry who had just returned from Xizhou stayed behind. Jiao Siluo returned to Qingtang under the protection of Han Tao's [-] troops. city.

September 60th was the day Ye Chen returned to Lanzhou with [-] Heavenly Guards, [-] Dark Guards, and [-] Tubo cavalry.Ye Chen's three major policies regarding the treatment of more than [-] Hehuang Tibetans were divided into three parts and announced sequentially.

The property preservation order was announced on September [-].As soon as this order came out, the Tubo people in the Hehuang area rejoiced, from the noble leaders to the ordinary people, all rejoiced.Although Xiangfu Kingdom has achieved no crime since it actually took control of the Hehuang area, and there is no looting, burning, killing and humiliation as imagined by these Tubo people, but when I think of the deeds of looting the village when I broke through the cities of other countries in the past, They were all worried, day and night worrying that the Xiangfu army would break into the door.Every time the Tubo nobles in Qingtang City heard the uniform footsteps of the Xiangfu army on the street, they would tremble with fear.The decree announced by Ye Chen stipulates that their property is inviolable in legal form, and the severe punishment for violators shocked the Tubo nobles, and many of the punishments were beheading.

Amid all the jubilation, the abolition of slavery was announced on September [-]th, the third day after the property preservation order. This time, the happy ones were those Tibetan slaves who had nothing but their own bodies. The abolition of slavery allowed them to become free citizens without spending a penny. Although they still have nothing, they are free. Is there anything more exciting than this?On the day when the decree came out, many daring slaves packed up their simple packages, boldly walked out of the original master's tent and house, walked into the field or on the street, and took a breath. Free air, although you don't know where your next meal will be, but as long as you have two hands and a handful of strength, you will never die of hunger.

With the leader, more slaves started to go to freedom, and some were dissatisfied. The leader of the Tubo nobles did not want their slaves to leave. They sent out family warriors to chase down the escaped slaves, but they were immediately suppressed by soldiers sent by Han Tao. Not only did the slaves not come back, but even the family warriors who had been sent were folded in. "If you want to save these warriors and their families, yes, you can redeem them with money." Han Tao answered neatly.

Well, as long as the money is still there, even if there are no slaves, it is not impossible to live. The Tubo nobles endured it.

But when the migration order came out on September [-], the entire Hehuang Tubo people were in a rage. Those slaves didn't have much attachment to their homeland, but almost none of the Tubo nobles and ordinary Tubo people were willing.

This day was also the most tense day for the [-] troops led by Han Tao. All the soldiers entered the first level of combat readiness.And Wu Shengjun's [-] Azure Dragon Corps has also entered a state of war readiness, and intelligence from the Ministry of Security has also been continuously gathered at the desk of Hu Sanguang, who was deliberately left in Hezhou by Ye Chen.

"The nobles of Tubo in Qingtang City are all out of their homes now. The destination is Jiaosiluo's palace. According to the order of the brigade commander, we did not intercept them and let them go." A spy came to Han Tao According to the report, Han Tao is standing on the tower of the city wall at this time, which is at the highest point of Qingtang City, overlooking the entire city, ready to respond at any time.

Han Tao nodded and said: "Okay, it's okay, since they went to see Jiao Siluo, the matter has become seven or eight points. Miss Shangguan on Jiao Siluo's side has already told her what to say, I believe Jiao Siluo To convince these guys, it is more effective than the deterrence of our army. However, I will keep an eye on the tribes located in the west near Kunlun Mountain. Once they have the intention to move out of the country, let Deputy Brigadier Zhou take the initiative Attack and wipe out these tribes to frighten all Tubo people." Han Tao let out a sigh of relief, what he feared most was that some ignorant guys would rise up to resist brazenly, hitting a thousand waves with one stone, and there was a first wave. One, then there will be a second, and a third, at that time, Qingtang City will be bloody, this is not what he wants, Han Tao, the most important thing is definitely not what His Majesty wants to see to the result.

"Zanpu, you have to be the master for us!" The noble heads, big and small, knelt down in front of Jiao Siluo, weeping and cursing.

Jiao Siluo's face was full of red, and his mental state was much better than when he was the puppet Zanpu. He was sitting on Zanpu's throne at this time, without saying a word.

"Zanpu, Ye Chen, the emperor of the Xiangfu Kingdom, has bad intentions. He made our family leave our hometown and the hometown where our ancestors have lived for hundreds of years. He is digging our roots and breaking our inheritance. My lord, we absolutely cannot Agreed!" A nobleman shouted hoarsely.

Jiao Siluo slowly opened his eyes, and said slowly: "Everyone, when the property preservation order was announced a few days ago, why didn't you come to me to cry and complain? Three days ago, when the abolition order was announced, you also lay down in peace. As soon as the migration order came out, you were anxious and afraid, and only then did you think of me."

Everyone couldn't help but calm down for a moment, with shame on their faces.

Jiao Siluo's face improved a little, he went to the group of people kneeling in front of him, helped up an old man with white beard and hair from the front row, and said: "Master Shi Tiangela, please get up!" Helping the old man up, Jiao Siluo looked at the crowd in front of him, and said: "Some Han people are murdered by knives, and I am killed by fish, so I don't need to explain to you! If you don't want blood to flow in rivers in Qingtang City, just go ahead and make trouble!"

"Lord Jiaosi Luo, we still have tens of thousands of tribesmen in Qingtang City, and 50 to [-] tribesmen outside Qingtang City. As long as Zanpu ascends to the top, we can gather tens of thousands of warriors at any time. Let's fight with them." Fight." Among the crowd, one person said loudly.

Jiaosiluo was furious, and said: "Fart, you bastard, you have tens of thousands of warriors, you are letting these young brats go to death, think about what they use to fight, are they holding sticks and guns, or The kitchen knife at home, do you want all the young people in my family to be killed? Come on, beat me out of this ignorant bastard."

A few burly men rushed out, and mentioned the nobleman like an eagle catching a chicken. Without saying a word, he rushed out, opened the door of the palace, and threw him out casually.

Seeing this situation, everyone in the room seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water over their heads. Looking at Jiao Siluo's appearance, it was clear that they fully agreed with the decree.

"Master Shi Tiangela!" The old man seemed to be respected by Jiao Siluo, Jiao Siluo turned to look at him, "Our Hehuang Tubo clan has been incorporated into Xiangfu Kingdom, including all the troops, your son Shi Tiangemu will be reused. His Majesty the Emperor of Xiangfu Kingdom decided to divide the 5000 troops of our family into five brigades, each with 5000 people, and organize them into the Xiangfu Kingdom's White Tiger, Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and White Wolf Legions respectively. When I was in Wu Shengjun, I recommended Shi Tiangemu to His Majesty the Emperor as the brigade commander of a brigade of the Qinglong Army. With His Majesty's approval, the letter of appointment will be sent to Qingtang City soon. Shi Tiangemu holds the letter of appointment Go to Lanzhou, take your own [-] people to the Qinglong Army, and report to Zhang Dawei's army commander. Think about it, your grandson is leading the army outside, why don't you go to Xiajing, the capital of Xiangfu Kingdom?"

Shi Tiangera's old face twitched a few times, and finally heaved a long sigh, and stepped aside. For the sake of his grandson's future, he could only agree.
