The most important thing is that with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty's rule over Jiaozhou, there is no need to negotiate with the barbarians in Jiaozhou like in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, grant them various officials, promise many benefits, and let them slowly
Chinese.
The Tang Dynasty can now implement various methods of sinicization in Jiaozhou according to its own ideas. There are only two methods that the barbarians can choose.
Either meekly accept Chinese culture, or close the door and let Li Jing go.
Um...it's a bit exaggerated to let Li Jing go. Li Jing is not that unpopular. Letting Yu Wenbao or Xue Wanche go is enough.
These two are killers who act completely according to the thoughts of the superiors regardless of the reason. With the help of the two of them, coupled with the cooperation of the local government soldiers in Jiaozhou, it is enough.
"Let the merchants lure the barbarians down the mountain and accept Chinese culture?"
Feng Ang couldn't believe his ears for a while.
Is this something that businessmen can do?
There are so many smart people in Jiaozhou, and there are countless prisoners assigned to Jiaozhou, but they can't do anything against those brainless barbarians. What can the merchants do?
Li Yuanji nodded and roughly told Feng An his thoughts.
After Feng An listened, he pondered over the feasibility.
After a long time, Ruo had some enlightenment and said: "This method is feasible, but it takes a long time and cannot meet the more convenient requirements mentioned by His Highness."
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "It will definitely not work just like this, but if you add the method you just mentioned, wouldn't it be faster?"
On the one hand, we recruit and assimilate those who can be recruited and assimilated, and on the other hand, we attack those who stubbornly resist.
Let those who have been recruited and assimilated also attack those who are stubbornly resisting. Under the triple attack, those who are stubbornly resisting will collapse faster.
When the barbarians faced the Han people, they might unite as one and fight against the Han soldiers and horses together.
But when facing their own people, I'm afraid they won't be so united.
After all, without a common enemy, internal fighting will always be the main theme.
Feng An was stunned again when he heard this, then nodded and said: "That will indeed be faster..."
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "If that's the case, then you can discuss it with King Hejian."
Whether it was sending merchants to attract the barbarians or establishing a marriage relationship with the female leader among the barbarians, it was a trivial matter. He, as the leader, did not need to personally take action. Li Xiaogong and Feng Ang were enough.
Anyway, the two of them are now in charge of shipping, and they have a lot of merchants they can borrow, so they can handle this kind of thing easily.
As for who should marry the female leader among the barbarians, let them choose on their own. Whether it is a prison officer assigned to Jiaozhou or a basic officer in Jiaozhou, it is up to them.
"Here!"
Feng An quickly stood up and bowed in agreement.
Li Yuanji smiled and waved his hand to signal Feng An to sit down and continue talking.
Later, Li Yuanji discussed some detailed issues with Feng Ang, and asked Feng Ang to bring up all the conspiracies and conspiracies when he visited Jiaozhou.
The half-civilized brains of barbarians are not worthy of exposure in the face of various conspiracies and intrigues.
What kind of nobleman fell into trouble with the barbarians, and was rescued by the barbarians, and wanted to give the barbarians a great fortune; what kind of wise man avoided troubles with the barbarians, and casually guided the barbarians to get rich through various means, and stood on the top of other barbarian villages.
, can fool the barbarians into collective death.
Anyway, as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are far more solutions than difficulties.
Take the prisoners assigned to Jiaozhou, if you let them succeed, they may accomplish nothing, but if you let them fail, or kill all the people in a certain place, then they will do better than loyal ministers and good generals.
After all, they are absolutely professionals when it comes to taking care of human lives.
By using conspiracy to win over a group of people and physically destroying a group of them, the barbarians will be Chineseized very quickly.
After the barbarians were sinicized and registered locally and registered as household registers, the number of Dingkou households in Jiaozhou alone in the Tang Dynasty would probably reach 700,000 to 800,000.
Some people may think this is an exaggeration, but it is not an exaggeration at all.
There were two million Dingkou households registered in the Tang Dynasty, but they were not registered, and under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there were probably more Dingkou than registered households.
Not to mention the hidden houses that still exist in various wealthy families, there are only the Dingkou of various affiliated tribes of the Tang Dynasty, as well as those in Jing, Yi, and Jiaozhou who are not recognized by the Tang Dynasty or are unwilling to register in the Tang Dynasty.
The number of barbarians may reach two million households.
Li Jing conquered hundreds of thousands of barbarian households in Jiaozhou alone, not to mention those in Jingzhou and Yizhou.
Although they suffered some damage in the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the damage was far less than that of the Han people.
After all, whether the Sui Dynasty unified the north and south or the Tang Dynasty unified the world, they did not pay attention to the barbarians, nor did they use heavy troops to attack the barbarians. Except for the Turks in the north and Tuyuhun who came to ask for help, the south
The barbarians received little harm.
The biggest damage was caused by Li Jing when he accompanied Li Xiaogong to conquer Nanliang and recruit Jiaozhou. However, even if Li Jing was famous for killing people, it was far less than the killings that could be caused in troubled times.
Therefore, the southern barbarians suffered almost no damage, their overall strength was well preserved, and the number of Dingkou was very large.
It's just that they have been living in the mountains and speak different languages. Many of them do not have their own culture and do not have much ambition. Otherwise, if they were to unite and invade the Central Plains together, it would be a big trouble for the Central Plains.
This is also the greatest tragedy that a nation without its own culture must face.
This is also the greatest foundation for the Han people to continue to exist.
After giving Feng An many ideas and setting the tone for the military strategy of Jiaozhou, Li Yuanji let Feng An leave the Taiji Palace.
In addition to showing his loyalty to the imperial court, Feng An's biggest task when he came to Beijing this time was to take over some important tasks from the imperial court and prove that he was still useful, lest the imperial court would miss him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now that the two tasks have been completed, it is not easy for him to stay in Chang'an City any longer.
After all the willows on the Ba River were withered and yellow, and all the persimmons in the forest were hung with lanterns, Feng Ang rode on his horse and left Chang'an City with his entourage in a low-key manner.
Not many people came to see me off, only Li Xiaogong.
It's not that others are unwilling to see him off, but that they don't have a deep friendship with Feng An.
It would be very despicable to rush to see off Feng An.
Among the dignitaries in the court, although there are many people who rely on Feng An to make a fortune by shipping, but even so, they have to carry it when it is time to carry it, otherwise a group of dignitaries with high status will go to see Feng Ang off together.
Ang, wouldn't Feng Ang become the number one among the powerful?
The most important thing is that if they go to 'praise' Feng An together, they will not only look despicable, but will also be feared by those in power.
Well, you are all important ministers of the country. You all gather around Feng An and take Feng An back and forth. What do you want to do?
Make Feng An your enemy and fight with the royal family?
Is it that you don’t want to live anymore, or that you don’t want Feng An to live?
"Whoa!"
In the left arsenal, Li Yuanji slashed down with a big knife. When the big knife was about to touch the ground, he quickly put the knife back and stood up with the knife, ending the day's morning exercise.
Since the reorganization of the palace guards, the left arsenal has been abolished, and the weapons stored in the left arsenal have also been transported to Xinwan.
Li Yuanji ordered people to tidy up the Zuowu arsenal and turned it into his exclusive martial arts training ground.
After not practicing for a long time, some of his hands were raw, so after putting away the sword, Li Yuanji still had some unfinished ideas, but seeing that Feng Zhidai had been bending aside and waiting, he could not continue to practice.
Waving to Feng Zhidai, Feng Zhidai quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness's sword skills are getting more and more exquisite. I can feel the sharpness of His Highness's sword from a long distance away."
Li Yuanji took the sweat towel from Zhao Chengyong's hand, wiped the sweat that had not appeared at all, gave Feng Zhidai a blank look and said: "I remember this is the first time you watched me practice swordsmanship, right?
How did you see that my sword skills are getting better and better?"
Feng Zhidai looked embarrassed.
My lord, you don't do this.
You clearly know that I am flattering you, so just cooperate with me. Why expose it?
How can I take pictures in the future?!
Li Yuanji did not dwell on this matter, and changed the topic: "I summoned you here today to ask you if your father had any complaints when I didn't go to see him off when he left Beijing."
Feng Zhidai looked stunned and shook his head without hesitation.
Not to mention that his father didn't complain, even if he did, he didn't dare to admit it.
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "It's fine if you don't. It's not that I don't want to send it off, but it's not good for your father to go."
Feng Zhidai nodded quickly to express his understanding.
With Li Yuanji's current status, if he sends the military minister out of the capital, it means that he will risk his life for the Tang Dynasty. He also wants his father to live a long life, and does not want his father to serve the Tang Dynasty.
Tang risked his life.
Although there was nothing in Jiaozhou that was worthy of his father risking his life...
"I have called you here this time. In addition to asking about this matter, I also have an important task for you to handle."
Li Yuanji stared at Feng Zhidai and continued.
Feng Zhidai hurriedly bowed and said: "Please give me your instructions..."
Li Yuanji said: "A few days ago, Chen Shizhong and officials from the Ministry of Rites have persuaded the Lin Yi envoy and agreed to open a border market with the Tang Dynasty. I originally wanted to hand over this border market to your father, but your father had other plans.
It's a big responsibility, so I'm going to leave it to you.
Do you have confidence?"
Feng Zhidai was stunned and raised his head in astonishment, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Li Yuanji pretended to be displeased and said: "What, no confidence?"
Feng Zhidai hurriedly said: "No, I just didn't expect that His Highness would let me go back."
Li Yuanji said calmly: "Isn't this unexpected? Now that your father has come to Beijing, he has proven his loyalty, and you, Mrs. Feng, have a reputation of being loyal and upright. If I keep you here any longer, I will look like a petty person."
Whether Feng rebels or not actually has little to do with whether Feng Zhidai is a proton in the capital.
If Feng wants to rebel, let alone Feng Zhidai being a proton in the capital, even if Feng Zhidai’s other brothers are also protons in the capital, Feng will still rebel.
Rebellion will never stop because of one person or a few people.
Therefore, Feng Ang's sending his son to the court as a pledge was just an attitude at best, not a restriction at all.
So if you really take protons seriously, you will lose miserably.
Now that Feng An has proved his loyalty, Li Xiaogong's people will also go to Jiaozhou, and the barbarians who conspire with Feng An to Jiaozhou can also restrain Feng An, so there is no need to keep Feng Zhidai.
Staying any longer would not only make the court look petty, but would also make Feng An feel unhappy.
Although this unhappiness may not turn into a knot, nor may it cause Feng An to rebel, but now that the imperial court wants Feng An to work hard to appease the barbarians in Jiaozhou, it must give Feng An some benefits.
Even if Feng An cared about promotions, the court would not give them to him. After all, Feng An was already the general manager of a small state, and he also influenced the large state of Jiaozhou. If he was given more authority, then his power would be
If it is too big, it will be difficult to control.
So the only benefit that can be given to Feng An is Feng Zhidai.
