Chapter 642 Feeding the wolf with one’s body(2/2)
"The guilty minister Wu Huaiyu didn't know that the saint was coming, so he missed the opportunity to welcome him from afar..."
"Stop it," Li Shimin waved his hand, "How are you doing your reflection at home?"
"I am fully aware of the seriousness of my sin..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I came here tonight to ask you something,"
Li Shimin was not too polite and directly asked how to resettle the Turks. Fang Xuanling also briefly stated the five opinions of the court.
"It all makes sense," Wu Huaiyu said.
Li Shimin stared at him, "This is not the main hall of the court, and there are no other people there. Let's be honest."
"The minister is bold, so he should be treated differently and dealt with differently according to the actual situation. This time the imperial court defeated the Turks. In fact, it means severely damaging the Jieli headquarters and the Yugushe tribe, and several other tribes such as Tuli, Yusheshe, and Shaboluohan.
Although he has been reduced, his strength has not been lost.
However, Tuo She had already traveled far to the Western Regions and had not even surrendered to the Tang Dynasty."
"Then how do you deal with it?"
"Fight when you need to fight, pull when you need to pull back, don't be lenient just for the sake of fame, and there is no need to do things that you can't do now.
Some things should be done slowly and not in a hurry, but some things should be done and the consequences will be endless.
After a few steps, the headquarters of Jie Li and Yu Gushe and his son were basically defeated. They were even defeated by Wu Huaiyu, Li Jing and others outside the fortress. They directly rewarded the prisoners to the soldiers, and some young men were handed over to the court.
This portion was handed over to the imperial court to the tune of about 100,000 yuan.
These people were captured on the battlefield. Although many of them were captured by Wu Huaiyu and others during raids in Baidaochuan, Tieshan, Qikou and other places, since they are already prisoners, don't be polite anymore.
There is no need to fight with these people. They are just prisoners and slaves, so don't worry about them.
The 200,000 Turkic prisoners who were enslaved as a reward to the soldiers, plus the 100,000 Turkic prisoners currently in the hands of the imperial court, this is 300,000 people, which is equivalent to 50,000 tents. If the imperial court swallows it in one go, that is
It severely damaged the Turks and at the same time made the imperial court greatly replenished.
Of course, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition also gained a lot, and all of them were grateful to the imperial court.
As for the Turks who were not captured at the beginning, especially those in Dingxiang and the north and south of Yinshan Mountain, Huaiyu suggested that they should be comforted.
Take a small part of them, about 30%, and move them to the inland, disperse them a little, and resettle them into villages one by one. Try to keep these Turkic villages surrounded by Han villages.
Or we could simply move about half of the 30% to Lingnan, Bashu, and Nanzhong areas to graze and guard the border, away from the Saibei grassland.
The remaining 70% or so will continue to be placed in the same place, but the various departments will be re-adjusted. Major divisions will be split and smaller divisions will be merged. A Dudu's Mansion will be set up in the north of Yinshan Mountain, and another Dudu's Mansion will be set up in the south of Yinshan.
Under each governor's office, six to eight states were set up. Each state was a tribe. Draw the boundaries and let them swear allegiance to the Tang Dynasty under the supervision of Datou. They would protect the northern border and not cross the border or attack each other. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty could
Call on all tribes to fight together.
The north and south of Yinshan Mountain used to be the base of Jieli. They have suffered the most damage this time, so they have to be harsher and split up more thoroughly. The stronger tribes have to move some people inland to Hebei and Hedong, or even to Bashu in Lingnan.
Waiting for a place to go,
Don't let any tribe become the dominant one.
"What about Yu Sheshe in Hetao and Shaboluohan in the northwest of Hetao?"
"The land of Hetao belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and has been the land of the Central Plains since the Qin and Han Dynasties. The imperial court can restore Fengzhou and Shengzhou, restore governance, and station troops and immigrants to guard it.
Let Yu Sheshe retreat to the north of the ancient Great Wall of Hetao to graze herds, and set up a governor's office in that place. The nine tribes under his command, each of them being the governor of a state, were divided into nine states.
Shaboluohan in the north of Hexi also did the same. He established the governor's office in Beining to command his land and the people of various tribes."
Li Shimin listened very carefully.
Compared with the five opinions of the ministers in the court, the biggest difference between Wu Huaiyu's plan is that it does not treat all the Eastern Turks as a whole, but treats them differently.
The sudden and powerful Bei'an Governor's Mansion will not move for now.
The key point is to break up the people and territory of Jieli and Yugushe. Li Simo and Zhihuansili divide the two governorates of Dingxiang and Sangqian in the north and south of Yinshan, and they also need to remove the stronger ones from the remaining tribes.
About 30% of the population was moved inland to weaken them, and some weak tribes were integrated into a group to form a Jizhou state.
As for Yu Sheshe of Hetao, he took back the Hetao grassland and asked Yu Sheshe to take his men and horses to the north of the mountain to graze. He was given a Yunzhong Governor's Palace and divided into nine states.
As for the 50,000 troops lost by Shaboluohan Suni in the west of Hetao and north of Hexi, we can also ignore him for now, set up the Beining Governor's Palace, and divide it into several more states. Specifically, we should not interfere too much. Anyway, as long as
Just don’t enter Hetao and Hexi.
The meal must be eaten in one mouthful, but the purpose must be clear and cannot be confused by the professing Turks.
Fang Xuanling said, "Yu She set up 50,000 tents, and Sha Boluohan set up 50,000 tents. These add up to 100,000 tents. Even if the strength has been damaged in the past few years, if they are ignored, it will ultimately be a disaster."
"Prime Minister Fang, now the imperial court is unable to control the truth. As Prime Minister Wei said, drive them to Mobei? Or as Prime Minister Wen said, move them to Longyou, Hebei?"
Do you think Mo Mo and Suni would be willing to hold on to so many people by mistake?"
"Step by step, don't be impatient. As long as the imperial court can chew up Jie Li and Yu Gushe's relationship first, it will be a disaster. Don't forget, there is also Xue Yantuo in Mobei who is rising with great momentum. Let's
You can't make a wedding dress for Yi Nan,
From now on, we must focus on guarding against Xue Yantuo in Mobei, and we must win over and appease the eastern Turkic tribes so that they can support Xue Yantuo for the court and cannot allow Xue Yantuo to cross the desert and go south."
"Then, as Erlang said, if Yu Sheshe refuses to hand over the Hetao and go to the north of the mountain to graze, what about becoming the governor of Yunzhong and the king of Huai'an County?"
"Although Momo was very rebellious towards Jieli, he was only twenty-three years old. As soon as Jieli was defeated, he immediately asked the King of Jiangxia to surrender. He didn't dare not hand over Fengzhou, Hetao."
"What if we don't move north?"
"Then we can unite with other Turkic tribes and send troops to attack. Then we can defeat Yu Sheshe and divide the 50,000 people and livestock. It will not be a loss. We will return the troops and make a name for ourselves." Huaiyu said with a smile. As long as we He promised that after killing Yu Sheshe, he would give Suni lost, Zhi lost Si Li, Tu Li, Simo and others some people and livestock, and they would respond positively.
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but nod. Wu Huaiyu's suggestion indeed drew on the five opinions from the court and was more practical.
Bei'an, Sangqian, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Beining, the five major governor's offices are lined up from east to west.
If the Ashina community can be established and attached to the Tang Dynasty, then a new Beiting Governor's Palace can be built directly to the north of Gaochang.
