The second thousand and forty-six chapters have nothing to pursue the Holy Son of Heaven
The many thoughts of the Holy Emperor Li Xuan were incomprehensible not only to Edward, but also to people within the Tang Empire.
For example, the global vassal system of the Tang Empire. In fact, many people do not understand why Li Xuan created such a vassal system with such great hidden dangers.
In the 42nd year of Xuanping, Li Xuan officially conferred the title of King of Wei on the thirteenth son of the emperor, and gave the Egyptian province under the Red Sea Affairs Yamen its fiefdom.
Not to mention this, in the past two years, the fiefdoms of the eldest son of the emperor, King Qi, the second son of the emperor, King Zhao, and the third son of the emperor, King Qin, have been adjusted one after another.
The former fiefdom of King Qi was in Beihai Province, which was too close to the mainland. In the early years, King Qi thought that if things changed, he could quickly return to the mainland, but later he felt that it was too close to the mainland.
, not safe at all. It has been active these years just to change its fiefdom.
Instead of a fiefdom close to the mainland like Beihai Province, it would be better to go further, such as America, Europe or even West Asia.
In addition, in the past few years, Li Xuan has also been obsessed with turning Beihai Province and the entire Nanyang region into a local hinterland, and naturally no fiefdoms can be created in the local hinterland.
Therefore, the fiefdoms of the three princes were adjusted one after another.
The emperor's eldest son, King Qi, moved to India's Pomu Prefecture, which was quite large in area.
The second son of the emperor, King Zhao, moved to Beiwan Province in North America.
The third son of the emperor, King Qin, moved to the West Africa Province. This West Africa Province not only has the city of Ceuta, but actually now covers the entire northwest Africa region and some coastal islands, and the entire Kingdom of Morocco belongs to it.
At present, including the thirteenth prince of the emperor, there are already ten princes who have come to various places in the vassal.
The eldest son of the emperor, King Qi, was the vassal of Pam Prefecture in India, the second son of the emperor, King Zhao, was the vassal of Beiwan Province of North America, the third son of the emperor, King Qin, was the vassal of West Africa Province, the fifth son of the emperor, King Jin, was the vassal of Jinshan Province of North America, and the sixth son of the emperor, King Zheng, was the vassal of North America.
In Hu Province, the emperor's seventh son, King Song, vassalized the North American South River Province, the ninth son of the emperor, King Lu, vassalized Pulazhou, South America, the 11th son of the emperor, King Ning, vassalized the African Province of South Africa, the twelfth son of the emperor, King Wu, vassalized the Gohe Prefecture of India, and the thirteenth son of the emperor, Wei
The king took over the province of Egypt in North Africa.
There are also the fourteenth son, the fifteenth son, the seventeenth son, and the nineteenth son. Although they are still young and have not yet been ennobled as princes and given fiefdoms, this will happen sooner or later, and Li Xuan has already chosen the place. The fourteenth son will go to South America in the future, and the tenth son will go to South America.
After my fifth son, I went to Central America, and after my seventeenth son, I went to West Asia.
The Nineteenth Son is quite special. This son is the son of the Holy Emperor and the Spanish Princess, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Chile. He will directly inherit the Principality of Chile and other parts of Elizabeth's fiefs. In addition to his property, he also owns the entire Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Portugal and many other things.
The inheritance rights of the fiefdom are in a mess, but the order of succession is relatively low.
It can be seen from Li Xuan's canonization of these princes that they were all canonized to America, Africa, India, West Asia and other regions.
In the mainland, including Southeast Asia, and even Australia, no vassal kings have been canonized. At the same time, no vassal kings have been canonized in Europe. However, if there are more sons in the future, Europe will probably be divided up.
Li Xuan did this for a purpose that the prince could not understand.
You said you wanted these vassals to establish their own country and rebel outside, but Li Xuan didn't agree. Instead, there were many restrictions.
At the same time, Li Xuan did not limit the power of the feudal princes too tightly. He turned a blind eye to the princes' control of the royal guards, not to mention directly giving the princes fiefs and salaries.
Although the proportion of this thing is a little small, it can still allow the lords to control a large amount of local fiscal revenue.
What can I say? Li Xuan gave the princes troops and funds, and also allowed them to form a royal staff team!
When the three princes moved to the feudal vassal, Li Xuan even allowed them to move with the entire royal staff and thousands of royal guards intact.
But the feudal princes were not allowed to go too far.
This method is like planting a seed, watering and fertilizing it to make the seed germinate, but holding on tight to prevent the seed from growing taller...
However, a dozen overseas vassal kings still needed talents, troops, and even money under their command. This simply laid a dozen huge landmines for the Tang Empire.
It won't explode at any time.
But it's okay if others don't understand, and Li Xuan doesn't need them to understand.
After all, not everyone will be like Li Xuan and know that industrialization will bring about a series of consciousness awakening problems, which in turn will bring about a lot of messy problems.
It’s not nice to say it. You can’t tell when the people of the Tang Dynasty will start to play revolution...
In order to avoid various problems in the future, Li Xuan took precautions and first put the eggs in different baskets, not two or three, but a dozen or even more.
Many of Li Xuan's ideas were ahead of this era, so what he did was not well understood by outsiders, but that didn't matter.
Just like pursuing economic development and lowering the food index, people like Edward can't understand why Li Xuan would do this.
From Edward's point of view, this kind of thing is purely thankless. After spending so much effort to feed the untouchables, it is estimated that the untouchables will have to go through even more trouble.
But Li Xuan felt that allowing all the people of the Tang Dynasty to have enough to eat and live a prosperous life was a matter of great self-satisfaction.
When the emperor reached the level of Li Xuan, there was actually nothing left to pursue.
The Tang Empire is now a veritable empire on which the sun never sets. It has extensive territory all over the world. Most of the Americas have become the territory of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty has continued to contact the Spanish in recent years and is preparing to
Other American colonies controlled by Spain were also obtained.
And there is no need to doubt the probability of success in this matter.
As long as Datang wants to do this, it is impossible not to succeed. Datang was just too lazy to do it before!
Perhaps within a few years, the entire America will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Although there are many indigenous people in India, Africa and Europe, this is simply because the Tang Empire is too lazy to fight. The Tang Empire now has enough territory. In addition to the military, other people in the Datang Empire are basically against
They no longer have much interest in expanding their territory, they pay more attention to their quality of life.
But if a war really breaks out, taking over the whole of Europe is just a matter of words.
Li Xuan no longer had much interest in expanding territory and the like, but he still maintained a relatively large interest in improving the living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the scientific and technological level of the Tang Dynasty.
How should I put it, he just wonders if he can see modern society again in his lifetime!
