Of course, the premise of everything is that the country is strong and wealthy enough. After all, diplomats are not omnipotent. In history, if the Sui Dynasty had not had a strong army and Yang Jian, the "sage Khan", I am afraid that the Turks would not have been honest.
Follow Chang Sun Sheng's arrangements.
Thinking of this, Li Xinchen couldn't help but think of Gu Weijun during the Paris Peace Conference in history. It's a pity that such a talent was born at the wrong time! Although the results of the Paris Peace Conference were criticized by many, Li Xinchen knew very well that the poor and weak people at that time
Under the circumstances, Gu Weijun has really tried his best to do everything he can for this country. At least he has made much more contributions to the country and the country than those keyboard warriors in later generations who pounded on the keyboard and called him a traitor.
But at least now that I am here, I will definitely plan a blueprint for this nation in advance during my lifetime. Li Xingchen will never allow this nation to make the same mistakes in history. Some people may say that things are impermanent, and prosperity and decline are the laws of history, but as a
How could future generations who had witnessed the history of humiliation and experienced the suffering of revival allow themselves to ignore it, even if they knew that such a rule existed?
At least what he should do, Li Xingchen will never fail to do. As for what will happen to him a hundred years later, Li Xingchen will be a little helpless. If the wheel of history is still heavy, so heavy that Li Xingchen cannot change it at all, then at least Li Xingchen will be able to change it.
Just like Gu Weijun at the Paris Peace Conference, he had no regrets.
"At least we can't come here in vain." Li Xingchen murmured.
After coming back to his senses, Li Xingchen realized that Chang Sun Sheng and the others were looking at him quietly.
Although they didn't know why the general was lost in thought at this time, they were smart enough not to disturb him. When they heard the general's whisper, they looked at each other thoughtfully.
What does the general's "can't live in vain" mean?
And Li Xingchen smiled self-consciously. It seemed that it was too early for him to think so far. At least now he was still far away from reaching the position above ten thousand people.
When Li took the lead and walked into the government office, what caught Li Xinchen's eyes was the map of the northwest. Changsun Sheng, Niu Tong and others all subconsciously set their sights on Li Xinchen. Everyone knew that the war in the northwest had been settled, so the next step was the interests.
At the time of division and reward.
Li Xingchen looked at this huge map and felt somewhat emotional. Originally, the northwest was the traditional sphere of influence of several aristocratic families in the northwest. Especially as the center of development of the Northern Zhou Dynasty gradually shifted to the Central Plains, the Northern Zhou Dynasty's control over Bashu and the northwest naturally followed.
Weakened to the minimum, most of the governance in these places has actually fallen under the control of local noble families, and even the appointment of local officials is related to the recommendations of local noble families.
So in other words, if the Tianshui Liang family and the Anding Niu family had not conflicted because of fear of Sun's manpower and the final distribution of interests, they would actually have been able to control the entire northwest situation at the beginning of the incident. However, because of their hesitation, the Northern Zhou Dynasty placed
In the northwest, officials loyal to the imperial court were finally able to take control of the city, causing the situation to become increasingly corrupt.
Some people may think that this Northwest War ended in an anticlimax, as the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Li Xingchen started to cease the war with little contact, but a few people know that in fact, this war could have been avoided.
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and clicked on the map, and said in a deep voice: "The governors of various counties are recommended by aristocratic families from various places. A certain person has appointed Cao Zhong as the general of Anbei and the military commander of Yongliang. He will go north soon to coordinate the formation of the northwest armies."
Several representatives of the aristocratic families looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Cao Zhong is an absolute direct descendant of Li Xingchen who was just transferred from Baidi City. He had no relationship with the northwest before. Li Xingchen asked Cao Zhong to come, which was naturally a warning to these aristocratic families in the northwest.
"Chang Sun Sheng!" Li Xingchen shouted immediately.
"exist!"
"Appoint you as the governor of Yongzhou."
Changsun Sheng's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
How could he, a fledgling young man, serve as the governor of Yongzhou? Changsun Sheng even felt that there was something wrong with his ears, or that Li Xinchen had made a slip of the tongue.
"Why, no confidence?" Li Xingchen said lightly, "A certain person was younger than you when he became a Marquis of Shu. Moreover, a certain person has appointed the Hou Secretary as the governor of Liangzhou. You two worked well together in Tianshui before. This time, as long as you cooperate with Cao Zhong
Just get used to it and stabilize the northwest. Is it considered a difficult task?"
Changsun Sheng felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and he immediately solemnly handed over his hand: "I will fulfill my mission!"
But Li Xingchen had no intention of having a long conversation with these people, and simply said: "In that case, let's go and do our own thing."
After a pause, he looked at Changsun Sheng again: "Ji Sheng (Changsun Sheng's nickname), come with me."
Changsun Sheng did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen turned to the study and said in a deep voice: "Do you know why I want you to stay in the northwest?"
"I secretly think that it is because I know the situation in Guanzhong quite well. The northwest is a passage for the general to enter Guanzhong. It is obviously easier to keep this road open if it is left to my subordinates." Changsun Sheng said immediately. Obviously, this issue is of great importance.
The answer he was asking himself just now.
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "Yes, but this is only part of it. The other part is to deal with the Turks in the north."
Changsun Sheng was startled for a moment, this was something he had never thought of.
"From the northwest to the west is the Hexi Corridor, and to the north is the Hetao, which is the passage for the Turks to go south. Because of Yu Wenyong's Northern Expedition, the Turks have now retreated to Mobei, but it is conceivable that the Turks are likely to make a comeback in the coming spring.
, Yu Wenchun of Jinyang is not that easy to deal with. If the Turks want to test the strength of the Central Plains, obviously we are the best breakthrough." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Changsun Sheng could probably understand at this time that he was one of the few Xianbei people under Li Xingchen, that is, a descendant of the northern grassland people. Naturally, he knew much more about Turks than Cao Zhong, Hou Mi and other southerners, so Li Xingchen asked him to stay.
Naturally, he also helped Cao Zhong deal with the Turks.
"On the Yongzhou-Liangzhou line, there is only the Great Wall to rely on, but the Great Wall is still in the hands of Yang Jian. At that time, the Turks who bypass the Great Wall and take the Hexi Corridor to enter the northwest are likely to turn a blind eye. You have to think carefully.
Countermeasures!" Li Xingchen's voice became more solemn. Historically, at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks were not very honest.
Now it seems that time is almost up.
The look on Changsun Sheng's face was also serious. With the northwest facing a lot of waste, how easy is it to stop the intrusion of the Turks?
However, Changsun Sheng also knew that if the Turks could really be stopped, it must be the credit of Po Tian!
"Cao Zhong has a gentle and steady temperament and is good at defense; Hou Mi is a general and is a reliable general," Li Xingchen said in a low voice, "and you, as the only high-level civil servant placed in the northwest, are responsible for people's livelihood, aristocratic families, money and food.
It’s no small matter, you must know what you should do!”
Changsun Sheng immediately raised his hand solemnly: "General, please rest assured, Sheng will go all out." (To be continued)
