Chapter 288
After confirming that ten thousand horses were really war horses, not ordinary horses, Yang Jian was even so happy that he couldn't help laughing out loud...
Yang Jian took out a copy from the memorial on the imperial case and opened it, "Xi, Wu, the three Khitans wrote a letter to request to submit to China, and they are willing to entrust their land into prefectures and counties, and from then on, they will always be the people of the Chinese people and the imperial court will keep the vassals. Several Hu tribes actually had this intention, which really surprised me!"
Yi Feng couldn't help but feel a sudden heart. This matter really had nothing to do with him. He was also surprised that Sanfan would come up with such an idea. However, looking at Yang Jian's tone and attitude at this time, it was clearly considered him planning this matter. Of course, this is a good thing. For the court, Sanfan had been unstable for many years and did not stand firmly on the side of the court, and had always been like a fence. Seeing that the battle between Sui and Tu was about to be imminent, Sanfan's attitude and position became very important at this time. Although these Sanfans were not very powerful, they were not successful enough, but they had more than enough failure. If they fell to the Turks at this critical moment, the overall situation would tilt the balance of the war. What Yang Jian was most worried about was that if Sanfans defected to the Turks, the Turks and the Goguryeo people would probably join forces together from east to west, which was the most feared.
"What a young hero!" Yang Jian knocked on the imperial case and showed joy. "You have been in the people for more than ten years. Although you have no teachings from famous teachers, your intelligence is not buried in the wild. Even if you fall in the wild, you are not a wild thing after all. Golden scales are not a thing in the pond. It turns into a dragon when you encounter wind and clouds. Good, very good. You decisively led your troops north to face Tielle. Rescue Sanfan and make Sanfan submit to the court. This is a great good thing. A great contribution." Yang Jian was in his heart, although ten thousand war horses were precious, it was not as important as Sanfan's thoroughly invested in the court at this time.
"Did Your Majesty agree to change the land of the three foreign countries?" Yi Feng pursed his lips and waited for Yang Jian to praise for a long time. After a long time, he asked loudly.
"Change the land and return to the flow?"
Yi Feng looked up and saw a trace of confusion in Yang Jian's eyes. He suddenly remembered that changing the land and returning to the flow was actually a matter of the future. It generally refers to the central dynasty's rule over the southwestern Yi people, using the liberated officials instead of the chieftains to enhance their dominance. The situation in the three northern banks is somewhat similar at present. After Sanfan was strongly oppressed by Goguryeo and the Turks, Sanfan had no other choice after receiving the strong support of Yi Feng. He no longer had the qualification to swing and wait and see again. Therefore, he tried his best to embrace the Great Sui thigh. They took the initiative to go to the court.
The report asked to include the territory of Sanfan as directly under the Great Sui Dynasty, and even transform the tribe into prefectures and counties, which clearly showed a sincere attitude. In fact, in the end, it was just that they felt the fear of a great war coming soon. Before the storm, they could only hold on to the backer of the Great Sui Dynasty. The court may not care much about the inclusion of the Hu tribes. But for Yi Feng, this was a very touching thing. If he made efforts to promote things and get things done, the person who is the greatest benefit should be Yi Feng, Huai Huang.
Even if Sanfan set up prefectures and counties, it would be impossible to really change the land and return to the current. In the end, it would be just like the Jimizhou in the Tang Dynasty. The prefectures and counties appointed were still the leaders of those tribes. The court was just a nominal ruler, and it was actually difficult to manage them. But no matter what, only by changing it to prefectures and counties would be a great opportunity for Huaihuang. They could further contact and influence Sanfan. After all, Huaihuang was the closest to Sanfan. In some aspects, Huaihuang was the representative of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Jian smiled and shook his head: "The Hu tribes who are thousands of miles away from the Great Wall really set up prefectures and counties, and the court will not be able to send misleading officials to govern. If the leader of the Hu tribe is appointed as the governor, it is no different from the original. It is just a name for setting up prefectures and counties." Yang Jian still had some ideas that he did not directly tell Yi Feng. Since the court could not actually control the Sanfan, the biggest result was that these Qian people used the name of the court to act, and in the future, the three men would rise up into an emerging force outside the border under the banner of the Great Wall. Wasn't the rise of the Eastern Turks the only one who took advantage of the banner given by the Great Wall and then attacked the Western Turks under the banner of the Great Wall and reversed the situation of the Eastern and Western Turks in one fell swoop?
"Your Majesty, it's not the case." Yi Feng said directly.
The court really looked down on Sanfan. In the eyes of the Sui people, many people may even not know the name of Sanfan. Compared with the Turks and Goguryeo and other powerful forces, Sanfan is indeed too weak. However, after Yi Feng contacted Sanfan, he knew that Sanfan did feel a bit dispersed, but their potential was not small. The combined population of more than a dozen tribes in Sanfan exceeded one million, which is a very strong potential. Only when the court operated well, these people were the best thugs used by the court to deal with the Turks and Goguryeo.
"Why?" Yang Jian looked at Yi Feng with a smile. He was not angry about Yi Feng's direct denial, but instead looked at the young and energetic grandson with great interest.
"I believe that prefectures and counties should be set up in Sanfan, and there are two reasons. First, when the Sui Dynasty war is approaching, the court should unite all available forces. Although the Sanfan is weak, the total number of troops is still a million. Although the troops are small, the outside tribes can be blocked with all soldiers, and no less than 100,000 troops can be gathered at any time. As long as the imperial court sets up prefectures and counties in Sanfan, the Sanfan will no longer be able to speculate and watch, and can only follow the footsteps of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Secondly, setting up prefectures and counties in Sanfan is an effective means to curb the rise of Sanfan. Although the tribes of the Sanfan are still scattered, under the current situation outside the Great Wall, they have a tendency to integrate gradually. If the court sits alone, then it will not take long to appear a unified Xi tribe, a unified Wu tribe, and a unified Khitan. At that time, its momentum will be difficult to control. If the court sets up prefectures and counties, it can actively interfere."
"To be more specific, how should the court interfere?" Yang Jian sat upright and his interest became increasingly strong. The Hu people outside the Great Wall were always a major threat to the Central Plains dynasty. Although the Turks are the strongest enemies at present, the grasslands have declined and the other has risen. One tribe has weakened, and another tribe will always rise and replace it quickly, Rouran replaces the Huns, and Turks replaces the Rouran people. This is exactly the case.
"Xi has five tribes, ten tribes of Khitan, and six tribes of Khitan." Yi Feng explained to Yang Jian carefully, "To curb the three tribes, the most important thing is to prevent tribes from being dominated by the three tribes. Therefore, the best way is to set up more prefectures and counties. For example, the court can set up twenty-one tribes in Sanfan, five tribes of Xi, five tribes of Wu, and six tribes of Khitan, and ten tribes of Khitan. Set up one state in each major tribe and use its tribe leaders as the governor. In this way, one family can be avoided from being dominated by the dominant power. As long as the power of the three tribes is balanced, the court can occupy the most active position. Even if it is more detailed, this method can be used for these large tribes that set up prefectures. The tribes under them can be divided according to the same method. The tribes under them can be established into counties."
Yang Jian stroked his long beard with his hand and fell into thinking.
"Okay!" Yang Jian slapped the imperial desk and shouted "Good". Wang Hai, who was standing in a corner of the hall, couldn't help but look up slightly at the two people in the hall, with a smile on his face, and his hands in his sleeves pinched the bottle of perfume, and was happy that he had established a good relationship with the emperor who had been called several times in a short time. The emperor was indeed very aware and he didn't miss it. He served the emperor. It had been a long time since he had seen the emperor as happy as today, laughing, and shouting again, and slamming the table from time to time.
Yang Jian was really happy. His style of conduct was good at using force to fight and pulling out a thousand pounds. Regarding the Hu people, he had always advocated separation, weak and strong, and using barbarians to control barbarians. Yi Feng's view on Sanfan made him care about these three Hu forces that he did not originally think about. Especially Yi Feng's view on establishing prefectures and establishing counties made him feel a little more about the strategies for dealing with the Hu people, so naturally he was not unhappy. "It was just that twenty-one more states came out at once..."
When the Great Sui Dynasty established a country, hundreds of prefectures and more than a thousand counties were found in the world, and there were a large number of counties between prefectures and counties, resulting in the phenomenon of nine out of ten sheep and pastorals. At the beginning of his ascension, he began the reform of the imperial division, abolished the county-level administrative division among prefectures and counties, and greatly reduced the number of prefectures and counties, and finally formed the current pattern of more than 300 prefectures and more than 1,000 counties. He was still a little hesitant to establish twenty-one prefectures at once.
"In fact, this is just a means for the court to interfere in controlling the Sanfan. The establishment of various prefectures and counties has no substantial impact on the court." Yi Feng said with a smile.
"That's true, but since you want to set up prefectures and counties, you can't be arbitrarily. Yang Lin, the general manager of Wuzhou, obeyed the order!" Yang Jian suddenly said in a serious voice, "You will be fully responsible for the establishment of prefectures and counties in the three foreign countries. All the newly established twenty-one prefectures are under the jurisdiction of the general manager of Wuzhou."
"I received the order." Yi Feng took a few steps forward and knelt down to receive the order. He was a little surprised that Yang Jian made a decision so quickly, and did not even discuss with the prime ministers and ministers in the court. He also handed over the twenty-one states of Sanfan to the Wuzhou General Administration directly under the jurisdiction of the Wuzhou General Administration. This was what Yi Feng wanted most. With this edict, his influence and control over Sanfan was well deserved.
Yang Jian waved his hand and signaled that he could retreat.
"Let's go, you are my grandson, and the royal grandson, you must have the ambition of my Tian family. Although you have been wandering among the people and bent over the grass, the dragon will not keep swaying. Now you have already entered the sea, and it is the time for you to travel."
Yang Jian lowered his head and continued to review the memorials, stopping speaking.
The first time he met the Saint seemed to be unexpectedly successful. Yi Feng felt that he could not see through Yang Jian, so he lowered his head and bowed to exit the hall.
Yi Feng's background just disappeared outside the hall gate, and someone walked out behind the screen beside Yang Jian. The graceful Queen Dugu walked out slowly.
"This child has a completely different personality from the prince, but it is somewhat similar to King Wei back then." Dugu said lightly.
"It's very similar to Lao Wu." Yang Jian stopped writing, "It's better than I thought. Unexpectedly, he grew up in the folk grass, but he was much better than the group raised in the East Palace."
"The Yang family's seeds are good, but unfortunately the people who teach them are not good. Look at the Eastern Palace, and I saw that the prince who had been the crown prince for 18 years, but I still don't have any sense of the master's spirit. What kind of future can the sons he raised have? And this child has been living among the people since childhood, born and dead, and has gone through hardships. This is the sharpness of the sword from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold. Jade cannot be used without grinding!"
Yang Jian smiled slightly, "I saw a temperament from him. When I saw him for the first time, I realized that temperament." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
