Chapter 1876 The hardliners in the desert meet with Heble Khan
The concerns of the Ulyanha and other tribes are not unreasonable. The more tribes join the alliance system, they will gradually squeeze the living space of other tribes in the desert. Over time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Mongol tribes who still have to maintain the old system.
The Wei tribe is jealous and jealous, which will lead to conflicts among tribes in the long run.
However, Xiao Tang's purpose of deliberately promoting internal division and opposition among the Mongol and Wu clans and Wei has been achieved. In addition to the Mongolian Plateau, including the areas around Linhuang Prefecture, the Liao and Jin Dynasties were sympathetic to these tribes who were willing to surrender.
It also includes territories directly governed by a large number of nomads. These territories are vast and sparsely populated. The prefectures and cities are relatively far apart, and the land suitable for farming is limited. The Hetao area was originally a large area of grassland suitable for grazing, until Genghis Khan unified the grasslands.
At that time, the total population of Mongolia was only a few hundred thousand, and the tribes that were allowed to move southward under the League of Guardians plan are still only part of them. Is it not enough to support these nomadic tribes who are struggling to make a living?
What's more, in view of the fact that they will inevitably continue to attack and annex the remaining territory of the Jin Kingdom in the future, Xiao Tang also promised to the Wuliangha and other tribes that if they are willing to send their men who are good at bow and horse to form the Meng, Wu, and Wei coalition forces to listen to the Qi Dynasty's dispatches.
The order was given to assist in compressing the territorial space of the Jin Kingdom from the direction of the Mongolian Plateau to the east, and only focused on military support. At that time, it would still be under the rule of the Jin Dynasty, and it was adjacent to the northeast with Liaozuo, connected with Xuanfu, at Nenjiang, Wuyu
Large areas of the Er River, Tao'er River and other river basins with the most abundant water and grass can also be planned to be controlled by tribes willing to obey Xiao Tang's orders, and the leaders of each tribe can be given greater benefits in terms of power, handicraft material support, and technology transfer.
After some further negotiations, the tribes led by Wuliangha and others readily accepted Xiao Tang's proposal. Some things in Zhemo still have to be decided...
For more than a hundred years, wasn't it the case that the Uuliangha tribe still attached themselves to the Ming Dynasty, and each of them took charge of their own tribes on that piece of land to provide livestock and livestock, and became one of the three tribes of Duoyan?
However, compared to the Ming Dynasty's tyranny management policy for the three guards of Duoyan, the current Wei alliance system of the Qi Dynasty undoubtedly strengthened the direct rule over the tribes within the territory. Many Mongol and Wei tribes chose to accept it, knowing that today's Qi Dynasty
Under the current situation, if you want to get the protection and support of the Qi Dynasty, you don't have much room for bargaining.
After all, during this period, the social structure of the Mongolian tribes and Wei tribes was loose, and there was little centripetal cohesion. Xiao Tangxin said that he only had to refer to the alliance and flag system of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to govern Mongolia. As for the Qing Dynasty, it spread the Yellow religion among the Mongolians.
, encouraged and ordered a large number of young and strong men to become lamas, adopted an isolation policy to cut off their connection with the Han civilization in the Central Plains...Intentionally contributed to the long-term backwardness of the Mongolian Plateau, resulting in a cliff-like decline in the population of Mongolia, etc.
There is no need to imitate the tactics. On the contrary, Xiao and Tang would treat these tribes who were willing to surrender in order to speed up the process of integration and assimilation, and teach them the sense of responsibility to defend the territory that is now their homeland under the rule of the Qi Dynasty. Then
In the long run, these Mongol Shiwei tribes, like the people of other tribes and tribes under their rule, will be brothers who can share the same hatred when foreign enemies invade...
It is naturally much easier to teach the scattered and independent tribal lords to surrender than to recruit a nomadic civilization group that has formed the core of national consciousness and is tightly cohesive.
For a period of time, there was intensive exchange and settlement of the envoys from the various tribes of the Mongwu and Wei Dynasties. Hebule and Hebule of the Qiyan tribe also negotiated through their respective negotiators. After three days, Emperor Xiaotang of the Qi Dynasty and Hebule
Khan will also meet and negotiate in person on the grassland fifty miles west of Linhuang Mansion.
On the day of the meeting, Xiao Tang marched to the agreed meeting place under the escort of thousands of elite soldiers. According to etiquette, the emperor could not arrive before the leader of the grassland tribe, but had to teach the other party to wait respectfully. Yibiao had gone to check it out earlier.
The light cavalry horse just looked at it and galloped back. The three generals Zhang Qing, Gong Wang, Ding De and Sun, who were tired of travel, turned over and dismounted cleanly, crossed their hands and saluted Xiao Tang: "Your Majesty, Hebule Khan
We have set up tents three miles away with the leaders of the Qiyan tribe and several other tribes, and are waiting for the imperial commander to come in person. I have inspected him and found out clearly, so I came here to reply."
Xiao Tang nodded and continued to teach the imperial guard to meander westward. After walking for a while, he saw an open field ahead, with dozens of felt-covered dome huts lined up on the grassland. Guards here
As soon as Xiao Tang's guard of honor showed up, the desolate horn sounds suddenly sounded. The rumble of horse hooves gradually began to tremble on the ground. There seemed to be dense drum beats everywhere on the grassland. As the sound of hoofbeats gradually became heavier,
Groups of Mongol and Wei cavalry galloped out from the felt-covered dome huts. Although most of the nomadic riders were in ragged clothes and carried a variety of weapons, there was a fierceness and vigor in the galloping, and each cavalry formation seemed to be full of vigor.
The kinetic energy that burst out was also filled with a kind of aggressive aggression.
The generals who were escorting Xiao Tang all the way couldn't help but tense up when they saw this. However, just when they ordered their sergeants to be on guard, the groups of Mengwu and Wei Qizhong did not act rashly anymore.
Approaching Xiao Tang's chariot, the riders on both sides, led by the leaders of each department, have already dismounted to treat each other. Although the loose and loose postures cannot be said to be very respectful. This kind of momentum is said to be for Xiao Tang first.
It doesn't look like Tang is showing off his power, it seems like he intends to show off his power to Yaowu, but he still maintains the courtesy he deserves for you, the king and emperor who is about to take over the desert, and you can't find any reason...
..
Xiao Tang looked around coldly and thought to himself: According to legend, this man dared to pull the beard bought by Wu Qi, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. He seemed to be an unruly and unruly leader of the Qi Yan tribe. With his temperament, he would not be able to survive in today's grassland landscape.
I was indifferent during the period of drastic changes. But I have made many Mongol Shiwei tribes sincerely join me. Now I meet with the leader of the hardliners in the grassland tribes who have established themselves as khans in person. What will his attitude be towards me?
I'm a little curious...
While Xiao Tang was thinking about it, another group of cavalry came rushing from the direction of the felt-covered dome hut. There was a big man riding his horse forward surrounded by leaders such as An Bahai and Hu Tu La. But he saw that the big man was also tall and tall.
He was tough, with a very typical appearance and temperament of a northern nomadic man who was accustomed to the wind and frost of the desert. However, his pair of slender eyes narrowed slightly, and when he leaned towards Xiao Tang and looked at him, he suddenly seemed to have hit the target.
There is light flowing, and the demeanor is completely different from the ordinary straightforward and simple nomadic people.
And the eyes of the Mengwu room Wei Dahan, whose eyes were slightly narrowed and his face was gloomy, soon fell on the powerful and mighty generals in the various military formations escorting Xiao Tang.
Soldiers, especially when he saw the opponent's sophisticated armor and weapons, the neat military formations with all kinds of weapons pointing towards the sky like a forest, and the majestic and majestic military appearance, the big man nodded silently,
Then he said hello again, took off the scimitar from his waist and threw it away at the entourage behind him. Then he continued to urge the horse forward with his bare hands, and walked proudly for a distance towards the imperial guard of honor where Xiao Tang was. Waiting until the distance between the two sides was almost invisible.
When he was ten steps away, he called out another greeting, and ordered the leaders who were accompanying him to roll off their horses neatly.
The big man Wei from the Mengwu room immediately ran forward for more than ten steps. When he could roughly see Xiao Tang's face, he touched his chest with one palm, bowed his body slightly, and immediately looked at him from between his teeth.
A thunder-like sound burst out: "Hebule, the Khan of the grasslands, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Qi Dynasty!"
