Chat group: People are in fantasy, investment is in the world

The Turkic soldiers were startled and immediately dismounted and bowed in submission.

"May I ask the Immortal, is the Heavenly Khan His Majesty Emperor Taizong?"

"Exactly!"

"His Majesty Taizong is back!"

The Turks were very happy and said, "We are willing to die for your Majesty!"

Although the Turks were beaten many times by Li Shimin.

However, they did not have much hatred in their hearts, but rather admiration.

This emperor was a man of great talent and vision, and he dared to do what others dared not to do.

Whether it is the Turks or other ethnic minorities, they are recruited based on their talents. As long as they have talent, they can serve as officials in the Tang Dynasty.

This was an unprecedented move for them.

The Central Plains Dynasty treated them as human beings!

As a result, Li Shimin became the Heavenly Khan respected by all ethnic groups and was recognized by all ethnic groups around the Tang Dynasty.

This recognition is not just lip service.

The appeal of the Tang Dynasty far exceeded the imagination of people in later generations. As long as Li Er gave an order, all ethnic groups would send troops to respond to Li Tang's will.

Unfortunately, after Taizong, this kind of thing no longer existed.

After Taizong, they became a foreign race and were no longer treated as human beings!

Now, Li Shimin has returned with his army, and the Turks are so happy that they almost shout out: "We are willing to be dogs of the Tang Dynasty."

Chapter 862 We Want to Be Datang's Dogs!! (5/5, please subscribe)

No race wants to be treated as beasts that eat raw meat and drink blood.

Neither the Turks nor the Uighurs are willing!

Every nation desires to be respected.

And since ancient times, only Li Shimin has achieved this.

In terms of military force, he conquered the four barbarians.

In terms of policy, the four barbarians were submissive.

Tian Khan is definitely the highest praise that the ethnic groups surrounding the Tang Dynasty give to Li Shimin.

From the perspective of later generations, some people always think that Li Tang’s policies were problematic, which nurtured foreign races and caused unrest in later generations.

This is actually a bit nonsense.

The policy towards the four barbarians actually has historical roots.

Employing the four barbarians would bring great benefits to Li Tang.

First, it can check and balance the aristocratic families.

Before Huang Chao, even with the imperial examination system, the selection of talents was still controlled by the Five Aristocratic Family and the Seven Families. At most times, nearly 70% to 80% of the officials in the world were people related to the Five Aristocratic Family and the Seven Families.

Under such circumstances, how could Li Shimin not think of a way to check and balance the aristocratic families?

Giving official positions to people of different races was not a solution at that time.

After all, although foreign races are harmful, they are far less harmful than letting the five noble families and seven surnames damage the government.

Even the foreigners who became officials because of Li Shimin's grace became extremely loyal.

Secondly, to annihilate a nation, not to mention the harm to nature and harmony, it is not cost-effective just from an economic point of view.

When the Tang Dynasty was established, many things needed to be done.

The treasury does not have much money or grain, and the population is not large. Once a war of annihilation really breaks out, the Tang Dynasty may not be able to withstand the turmoil.

Don’t you see how much Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, paid to destroy the Huns?

The day when the Huns were defeated was also the day when the Han Dynasty was dying.

The lesson of the past was still there, and it was impossible for Li Shimin not to see it.

What's more, during Li Shimin's reign, the country's national strength was not necessarily as strong as during Emperor Wu of Han's reign.

Fighting a war to annihilate a country is simply courting self-destruction.

In this situation, conquering all the tribes becomes the best solution.

To defeat the enemy without fighting is the best strategy.

Third, there is another benefit of having the four barbarians submit to you: economy.

With foreign troops, whether it is to attack the Western Regions or other places, the Tang Dynasty does not need to send many people, only an imperial decree is needed.

This is also extremely good for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

The battlefield is a dangerous place with fierce fighting.

It prevents the people in the Central Plains from having to go through so much war, which is also a form of protection and allows the people to recuperate.

It is said that raising a foreign race will bring disaster to future generations (dadg).

This is a little strange.

Before Li Shimin, no one cared about foreign races. Whether it was the Five Barbarians or the Xiongnu, weren't they extremely powerful and caused headaches for the Central Plains dynasties?

Should we blame the previous dynasty for the bad deeds of later generations?

As for the outflow of technology, there are indeed some problems.

However, no matter how powerful Li Shimin was, he couldn't want the horse to run without letting it eat grass, right?

In order to encourage all ethnic groups to fight hard, the rewards and benefits they deserve must be present.

Moreover, not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, various encryption technologies are very advanced, and it is very difficult to block technology.

Unless we completely close the country.

However, the harm caused by closing the country to the outside world is much greater than that caused by technology outflow.

This is not what a wise person does.

"Chief, are you really going to Chang'an to pay homage to the Khan?"

"Not bad!"

The Turkic leader was adjusting a piece of clothing, his eyes full of nostalgia.

This was bestowed by the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty decades ago.

Although it has gone through decades and is a bit old, it has still been preserved.

"Now that His Majesty has returned, I will naturally go to see the Emperor!"

Although I'm not from that era.

However, having heard the legend of Tian Khan since childhood, he still yearns for that period very much.

All ethnic groups gathered in Chang'an, and only the talented were selected.

What a prosperous era this is!

What's more, now that the immortal emperor has returned, if the Turks don't follow the pace of the Tang Dynasty, will they seek their own destruction?

at the same time.

The leaders of the Huihe, Shiwei and other ethnic groups also made intensive preparations, loading carts of jewels and specialties onto horse-drawn carriages and heading towards Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

The legendary man came back, causing turmoil in the world for a while.

Changan.

A month passed quietly.

Although Li Shimin's return was a big deal, it did not cause much turmoil.

The people support him and he is in favor of the people.

Only the officials from aristocratic families suffered heavy losses and were purged by Li Shimin.

Among them, the Wu family was naturally the focus of the purge, and all three clans were exterminated.

Except for Wu Zetian, all the arrogant members of the Wu clan were beheaded one by one.

"This is Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty."

"I hope that His Majesty is still here on earth. Otherwise, we will come all the way here, but won't we even be able to see His Majesty?"

Outside the Honglu Temple, people of various ethnic groups lined up and drove their heavy horse-drawn carriages to enter.

People were joining in the fun from a distance.

It has been a long time since we have seen foreigners come to pay homage in such an orderly manner.

Take the Turkic people, for example, who loved to stir up trouble during the empress's reign. Now they are very well behaved.

Looking towards the direction of the imperial palace with eyes full of reverence.

This makes it impossible for the people to associate him with that rebellious image.

"Are these people here to pay homage?"

In the crowd, an old lady looked at the scene outside the Honglu Temple with a complicated expression.

When she was in power, these foreign tribes were very arrogant and some even launched an invasion.

Now, they are all as obedient as grandsons, driving carts full of treasures to Chang'an City to pay homage to the king.

"Is the gap between him and me so big?" Wu Zetian murmured to herself, clenching and unclenching her old hands.

She was very unwilling.

She obviously works very hard!

Why can't we get the support of other ethnic groups?

Do not!

Not to mention the foreign races, even the people in the Central Plains did not support her!

What a failure she was as an emperor!

The maid following behind Wu Zetian did not speak, but just looked at the scene in the Honglu Temple with stars in her eyes, thinking to herself: "It is indeed His Majesty Taizong. As soon as he came back, even if he did not issue an order for people to come to the court, the surrounding ethnic minorities came to pay homage."

"Your Majesty has issued an order to summon the leaders of all tribes to the throne!"

Suddenly, a eunuch came hurriedly and announced loudly.

"Your Majesty is willing to see us!"

"Great, great! We Turks will once again serve Your Majesty and go through fire and water for him."

"It's the same with us Huihe!"

"We are willing to be your Majesty's dogs!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Is it possible to say this?

Although everyone is doing similar things, how can we follow you after you say that?

Chat group.

Li Shimin: "【Video】Old Zhu, did you see that? This is what the people want!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "How shameless! You even said that I would be your Majesty's dog. Aren't you ashamed?"

Zhao Kuangyin: "I'm so jealous. When will I have this kind of fortune?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Old Zhao, don't even think about it. Your Song Dynasty was known as a coward in later generations. It's good enough that the alien race didn't beat you up, but you're still acting like a dog?"

Zhao Kuangyin: “…”.
