Thinking about the war, Liu Che also became a little worried.
It was not that the Han army would suffer a loss, but that the Huns would escape.
If the main force of the Huns escapes this time.
Then, the Han and Hungarians will be entangled next.
The vast desert, the boundless Gobi, and the tens of thousands of miles of grassland.
Thinking of this, Liu Che had a headache.
However, no matter what, the war has started so far, and the Han family can still secure Munan in the worst case scenario.
If we fight well and eliminate a large number of the main Xiongnu forces, then Hexi will be within easy reach!
Hexi plus Munan, almost half of the entire territory was occupied by the Han Dynasty.
"You can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately..." Thinking of this, Liu Che sighed.
Drive out the Huns and defeat the nomads.
In history, Han Wu, Zhaoxuan, Tang Zong and Tang Gao all did it.
Even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Chinese army pushed all the way across the Congling Mountains, pushing China's territory deep into Central Asia and touching the wall of the world.
A battle in Talos brought everything to naught.
From then on, the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu and the Buddhist Kingdom of Central Asia became a dream.
Chinese clothing, the birthplace of Li Bai, is no longer visible.
Many people say that all this is because of the Anshi Rebellion.
If there had not been the Anshi Rebellion, with the national power of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and ten more Talas, the Tang Dynasty could have reversed the situation.
but……
Liu Che knew that the Anshi Rebellion was only a symptom.
The biggest problem is order and strength.
The Tang army was too weak in Central Asia at that time.
Moreover, local resources and strength have not been effectively utilized.
To put it simply, he is a loser who has no loyalty.
If among the nine surnames of Zhaowu at that time, there was a goddaughter like Goryeo who was willing to sell her liver and kidneys for her father in the Tang Dynasty, it is still unclear who will win in the battle of Talas.
It is unlikely that Central Asia will be freed from Chinese control in the future.
And the root of all this was due to the Tang Empire's own chronic shortcomings.
Since Wu Zetian, the Tang army has been focusing on external affairs and neglecting internal affairs. Moreover, the Han people have lost their most reliable force to rely on.
Before the Anshi Rebellion, how many Jiedushi were born among the Han people?
But the Hu generals and soldiers were spread all over the country.
And Li Longji even tried his best to abolish the military system, so that all the military power of the country fell into the hands of the Jiedushi, but these Jiedushi were all Khitans, Turks, and Goguryeo.
To be honest, only one An Lushan rebelled. This is really the virtue of Li Tang. The other Hu Jiedu envoys were loyal and did not forget their roots!
Otherwise, there will be another Wuhu chaos in China and Shenzhou and Luchen in every minute.
As for Central Asia specifically, before the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Army in Central Asia was not only small in number, but also filled with a large number of alien servants. The most important thing was that these guys had no brainwashing at all and no concept of loyalty to China.
If you have breasts, you are a mother.
The Battle of Talos and the defeat of the Tang Army were all stabbed by these guys.
Just like the fall of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was because of the An Lushan rebellion.
Taking history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs.
The fall of the prosperous Tang Dynasty made Liu Che understand that force and the barrel of a gun must be in his own hands.
Don't leave others behind.
Hu people and Yi Di can be used, but cannot be relied on.
The Han army must always be strong in order to subdue them and prevent them from having any different intentions. Even if they have ambitions, they can only tuck their tail between their legs and act like huskies.
For example, the Manchu and Qing methods were good.
The Eight Banners system, religion and the reduction policy are two-pronged approaches.
But it's not suitable for now.
Liu Che didn't want to do this either.
In essence, the entire grassland and the Western Regions, in Liu Che's eyes, are the mainland. Since it is the mainland, it cannot be a colony, lest it become a chronic disease in the future, bleed endlessly, and become the Ireland of the Han family.
Thinking of this, Liu Che understood.
He must guide the nomads on the grassland in terms of system and order.
The first step is to assimilate their nobles.
Then, guide their people and settle down.
To achieve this, the business of the Han Dynasty must be more prosperous and agriculture must be more developed.
At least, there must be a market that can absorb at least one million cattle and sheep every year.
Of course, these policies are only prepared for those who are willing to become Han subjects and members of the Xia nation.
As for those who neither want to be Chinese nor want to leave.
That……
Liu Che could only say, Nanyang welcomes you!
While thinking about these things, Liu Che walked forward.
Soon I walked out of this village and came to the broad road.
Chang'an during the examination was really lively and noisy, as if it were in later generations.
However, the traffic on the road turned into horse-drawn carriages.
And when there are too many horse-drawn carriages, it is naturally easy to get stuck in traffic jams.
It was the same at this moment. The whole street was blocked by carriages carrying goods and vehicles carrying people.
The young scholars stood on both sides of the road, watching this grand event that could not be seen in other places, and sighed.
The officers and soldiers who were in charge of the Jinwu Yamen were holding sticks and shouting loudly in the crowded streets to divert traffic.
"It seems that it is necessary for the imperial court to establish an yamen specifically responsible for transportation..." Liu Che said softly.
"Like the urban management story?" Zhang Tang asked.
"Like the urban management story!" Liu Che nodded clearly.
I remember that when he was in charge of the nine cities in Chang'an, he established the original urban management agency, with Zhang Tang in charge, specifically to extort money.
If someone's house is not clean and tidy, if it is left in a haphazard manner, it will be beaten hard.
Liu Che, who was short of money at the time, also benefited a lot from this, and the people below made a lot of money.
After Liu Che came to the throne, the urban management yamen naturally improved. Now it has become the most important department under General Wu Guan Zhonglang. It has maintained thousands of servants and placed dozens of officials. It has made outstanding contributions to the employment of Chang'an and also contributed to the treasury of the Han Dynasty.
Made outstanding contributions.
Today, places such as Qili and Shangguanli can be so clean and tidy, which is indispensable to the efforts of the urban management personnel.
As a result, Linzi, Suiyang, and Luoyang are now learning from Chang'an's advanced experience and taking advantage of it.
And this transportation, in Liu Che's eyes, is also a considerable source of wealth!
Apart from that, you can make tens of millions per year just by issuing fines, right?
As long as it is money, Liu Che is not willing to let go of the opportunity to make money.
Thinking of this, Liu Che suddenly thought of how to deal with the Munan incident in the future.
He turned to an eunuch beside him and ordered: "When you return, show me the list of meritorious generals in the Zhongyong Army and Loufan Army..."
The Zhongyong Army and the Loufan Army are now loyal and reliable armies that have passed the test of blood and fire.
Especially meritorious officers are completely loyal ministers of the Han family and defenders of the interests of the Han Dynasty.
They do not speak with their mouths, nor do they beat their chests, but do it with their lives and blood.
Naturally, benefits should be given to such people.
Not only should we give benefits, but we should also give big benefits. We will use the money to buy horse bones and let the world, especially the grassland tribes, know that if we follow the big man, we will have meat to eat! (To be continued.)
