Not many Hu people could resist the temptation of naturalizing in the Tang Dynasty, let alone declining nobles like Ju Wendou who had been under the oppression of the Turks for many years?
So Ju Wendou had already thought about it, and now that Fang Jun mentioned it, he showed his loyalty with little hesitation.
Living in Chang'an, the He family can enjoy peace and stability, and will not suffer massacres by the Turks. Furthermore, with the connections of the Ju family in the Western Regions, even if they become naturalized in the Tang Dynasty and move to Chang'an, they can still do business along the Silk Road and remain wealthy and prosperous.
, making money every day, where can there be anything more beautiful than this?
Fang Jun raised his glass, clinked it with Ju Wendou and drank it down in one gulp, and then said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, the Tang Dynasty is so powerful that it conquers the world and embraces the world. How can it chill the hearts of its allies? I will write a letter of resignation right now.
, send people back to Chang'an, no matter the success or failure of this battle, the Jingzhao Mansion will be prepared for the naturalization of the Ju family. When the Prime Minister submits the name list of the clan to the Jingzhao Mansion, the naturalization documents will be issued."
Ju Wendou's eyes were bright, and without saying a word, he filled the wine glasses in front of them with a pot, raised his own glass, and said with emotion: "Commander, please be happy, you are actually the parents of the rebirth of my Ju family! Without further ado, thank you for your kindness.
The Ju family will keep this virtue in mind and will not dare or forget it. One day, they will repay it tenfold! I will do it first as a token of respect!"
He raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. He suddenly felt happy and burst into laughter.
Akagi Hague on the side was envious, and he also knew that it was not Fang Jun who favored one over the other, but that the two families were in completely different situations.
Although the foundation of the Ju family is still there, in the final analysis, it is just a subjugated clan, and it has been struggling to survive among all the forces in the Western Region for a long time. The situation is precarious, and if you are not careful, you will encounter catastrophe. Therefore, they will be destroyed.
Moving the whole family to Chang'an would not only gain the gratitude of the Ju family, but would also not cause any hidden worries to the Tang Dynasty.
Akagi Hague's family is different.
As a Uighur noble, with the entire Uighur community behind him, they are still the most powerful force in the Western Region after the Turks. How can such a family easily be naturalized in the Tang Dynasty? It should be noted that once successfully naturalized in the Tang Dynasty, any
Everyone enjoys the same treatment as the people of the Tang Dynasty. They are recommended to serve as officials, serve as officials in the imperial examination, join the army, and their political status is the same as that of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, if Akagi Hague wants to be naturalized in Datang, although Fang Jun can solve it with just one sentence, no one dares to be so rash.
This requires joint and several liability...
…
Standing at the door of the tent, watching Chimu Haiya and Ju Wendou walk into the wind and snow under the protection of their confidants, and gradually go away, Fang Jun then returned to the tent, sitting behind the table with a golden sword,
He was minding his own business and used a silver knife to cut off the lamb leg meat grilled on the charcoal pot. He ate a bite of the meat and drank a sip of wine. His mind was spinning rapidly, wondering whether there were any risks in this cooperation with Akagi Hague and Ju Wendou, and how to proceed.
, how to deal with the aftermath, and what impact it will have on the situation in the Western Regions.
Not long after, Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting came in hand in hand.
The two of them had just returned from a tour of the camp. They took off their raincoats and shook the snow off their bodies. Then they came to Fang Jun one after another and bowed to salute.
Fang Jun came to his senses and waved his hand casually: "Sit down."
"Here!"
The two of them agreed and sat down under Fang Jun, one on the left and the other on the right. Cheng Wuting took over the job of barbecuing, while Pei Xingjian held the pot and poured wine. He drank a glass first, let out a breath of cold air, and then asked: "The commander-in-chief and those two people."
How is the discussion going?"
Fang Jun understood what Pei Xingjian meant by asking, shook his head and said: "These two people can believe that Ju Wendou is a noble who lost his country. Although the Ju family still has some heritage in the Western Regions, it is actually difficult to get ahead, especially the Turks who covet their clan.
The wealth accumulated over the past hundred years is no longer something that can be accumulated in a day or two, but if there is a chance, the Ju family will definitely be swallowed up with their skin and flesh, and there is no reason to survive. As for Chimu Hague, this old guy is much more cunning, and he is the best at seeing things.
The wind steers the rudder, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. However, the one who is actively cooperating with us this time is Uighur Khan Tumidu. Akagi Hague is just acting as an intermediary to liaise and grab some benefits by the way, but he cannot take the lead, so there is no need to worry about him.
Playing tricks.”
Pei Xingjian felt relieved.
Since ancient times, no force has ever been able to completely control the Western Region. It is too vast, too remote, and too sparsely populated. Moreover, all tribes of Hu people have always been unruly and disobedient. If there is an advantage, everyone will rush forward, but if there is any difficulty, everyone will retreat.
They are like savages, and it is difficult for civilized society to control them.
Therefore, the barbarians in the Western Regions are all dishonest and have no moral restraint. They only have interests in their eyes, betrayal and betrayal are commonplace, and they have no burden at all. When cooperating with them, the first thing to worry about is not the success or failure of the matter, but whether it will happen.
Betrayed halfway...
Seeing that Fang Jun had already considered this issue and was not blinded by his achievements in eradicating all the forces in the Western Region, he was completely relieved.
As long as Fang Jun is clear-headed, restrained and calm, any decision he makes can be trusted. Pei Xingjian knows this very well.
Of course, even if sometimes this person seems to have lost his mind and acted arbitrarily, in fact, if you think deeply about the purpose behind his actions, you will often find that there is a very clear purpose hidden, and most of them can hide the truth and get to the point.
.
Therefore, the outside world uses the word "stick" to mock Fang Jun's impulsive behavior from time to time. In Pei Xingjian's opinion, this is simply funny. Those who mock Fang Jun as a "stick" are the real "sticks"...
Pei Xingjian said: "The Uighurs are cunning and have a strong temperament. We can instigate them to fight against the Western Turks, but we cannot seriously hand over the Western Region to their management. Ultimately, they are no different from the Turks. We cannot drive away the tiger through the front door and drive away the tiger through the back door.
Such a stupid thing as welcoming a wolf."
As an adjutant, it is natural to remind the general at key points and to check for deficiencies and make up for them.
It is the same for any Hu people. They admire the Tang Dynasty and lament its power, but they are also wary of the Tang Dynasty, fearing that the Tang Dynasty will become militaristic and expand in all directions. At present, the Uighurs are deeply enslaved by the Turks. Whenever there is a war, the Turks will
People must put the Uighurs in the vanguard and charge into battle for them, resulting in countless casualties. Generations of Uighur ancestors have been eager to get rid of the enslavement of the Turks.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so Huihe has always been close to the Tang Dynasty over the years.
But it's definitely not really close.
Once the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty join forces to expel all the Turkic forces from the Western Regions, the Uighurs will inevitably replace them. In this way, the Uighurs will occupy the current position of the Turks, and their own interests will begin to conflict with the Tang Dynasty. In a few years, they will reappear today.
The hostility between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.
Therefore, the Uighurs can take advantage of them, but they cannot be trusted, let alone allow them to replace the Turks.
After all, the Turks originated in the Mobei wilderness. Because of their strong power, they entered the Western Regions. However, they have been subjected to overt and covert resistance from all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and they have never been able to overwhelm all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions. However, the Uighurs have lived in the Western Regions for generations, and they are closely related to the Western Regions.
There are countless connections between various ethnic groups, and they are even connected by blood.
Once the Uighurs become stronger, the Hu people will accept the Uighurs to a much greater extent than the Turks do today, and it may even be possible to unify the Western Regions...
That is, Youtunwei personally established a strong enemy for Datang. Not only did it hand over the Western Regions to the other side, but it also threatened Guanzhong at all times.
Fang Jun nodded: "I understand the importance, but now is not the time to be on guard. Not only do we need to unite with the Uighurs to cut off the claws of the Turks who penetrate into the Western Regions, but we also need to use the power of the Uighurs to deal with the swarming Arabs. We must
Give me some sweetness, otherwise who would be willing to work for you?"
Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "I just want to remind you that the choice will be decided by the commander-in-chief. No matter what decision the commander-in-chief makes, the right guards will follow them to the death without any second thoughts!"
Cheng Wuting also nodded and said: "Commander, don't worry, that guy who holds the ball dares to be half-hearted, and I will be the first to pluck his head off!"
Pei Xingjian: "..."
Although these words were spoken in accordance with my words, why did they sound directed at me?
Immediately he said angrily: "How about roasting your meat raw? The foam is spitting out. How can the commander eat meat?"
Cheng Wuting quickly shut up and continued to barbecue.
In fact, without him having to say that, no one in the Youtun Guards dared to disobey Fang Jun's orders. Xue Yantuo was overthrown, Tuyuhun was defeated, and Lien Zhan's victory shocked the world, and is now even known as "the most powerful army in the world."
Which soldier of the Youtun Guards is not proud and full of confidence? Which one does not sincerely admire Fang Jun and regard his every word as a guide?
The power of the army is gained by winning battles one after another.
The prestige of a commander-in-chief is also gained by leading his soldiers in battle after battle, and there is absolutely no trickery.
