Li Mu tried hard to recall that although he was good at history when he was in school, his knowledge about Xue Yantuo was basically only one sentence or two, which was not the key point, and his memory was not very clear.
I searched it in my memory and found that it was the plot of a TV series, and I remember it more deeply.
The scene in my mind is like this. Xue Yantuo kept harassing the border. Li Shimin couldn't bear it, so he summoned all the officials to discuss. The officials came up with two solutions. The first solution was to summon an army of 100,000 to destroy Xue Yantuo, so as to protect the border.
A hundred years of peace, and secondly, allowing marriage and adopting fetters, which is enough to ensure peace on the border for thirty years.
One was for a hundred years and the other was for thirty years. It was supposed to be an easy choice, but in the end the second plan was chosen. Civil servants headed by Fang Xuanling supported the second plan because if the first plan was adopted, too much money would be spent.
If it is too much, the loss will be too great, and it will waste people and money. But the second plan only costs one princess.
It happened that General Qibi Heli was detained by Xue Yantuo when he was returning to his tribe to visit his mother. Yi Nan knew his bravery and wanted to persuade him to join Xue Yantuo, but Qibi Heli refused and even cut off his left ear to show his ambition. After Li Shimin found out,
She was so moved and worried about his safety that she finally agreed to the marriage and promised Yi Nan to marry Princess Xinxing to him after Qibi Heli was released.
After Qibi Heli was released, he felt deeply the humiliation of being captured and tried his best to persuade Li Shimin not to agree to the marriage. Li Shimin was unwilling to break his promise, but could not withstand repeated persuasion. Qibi Heli said that if the princess married
Given Yi Nan, Yi Nan's position as khan will have greater legitimacy in Chile, and it will be more difficult for the Tang Dynasty to control Xue Yantuo. Li Shimin was persuaded and was considering giving up the marriage, but he was afraid that the teacher would be unknown, so he thought
As a way, he asked Yi Nan to go to Lingzhou in the Tang Dynasty to marry the Xinxing Princess. If Yi Nan didn't dare to come, he would have a reason to refuse. But he obviously underestimated Yi Nan's determination to get married, and he didn't say anything.
I agreed.
When this plan failed, Li Shimin came up with another plan. He wanted 100,000 livestock as a betrothal gift. Raising 100,000 livestock in a short time was an impossible task even for Xue Yantuo. Moreover, the weather was so cold that the livestock died on the road.
Most of the time, it was even more impossible to complete. Because of the betrothal gift, the marriage was eventually cancelled.
Later, Yi Nan died of illness, and Li Shimin sent people to make his two sons khan respectively, successfully dividing Xue Yantuo, and Xue Yantuo was finally defeated.
…
If the trajectory of history proceeds as before, this would be a good result. But now that he has come to this era, Li Mu wonders if he can change it. At least in this matter, what Li Shimin did is a bit sorry.
The three words "Khan".
Li Mu wanted to protect Li Shimin's reputation. He was not hypocritical, he was completely sincere. Even if he knew that Li Shimin was afraid of him, he was still grateful to Li Shimin, because Li Shimin's tolerance and magnanimity allowed him to continue to serve the people of this era.
If he had done something, if it had been another emperor, he would have died countless times by now.
Li Mu has never thought about rebelling. Because he always feels that he is outside this era. For example, this world belongs to Li Shimin. Without him, the wheel of history will still follow its original plot.
Scroll, why do people outside his own era want to 'rob' other people's things? If history is changed, what chain reactions will occur? This is all unforeseen, and he is not curious about what it will be like.
Fortunately, he came to this era, and he just wanted to do more for the people of this era. And Li Shimin was the person who truly dominated this era, and the role he could play was to assist him as much as he could.
Li Mu thought for a moment and wrote a memorial.
"...I have a brief view of Xue Yantuo's current troubles. Although Xue Yantuo's voice is strong, people are not united. People are not united, and they are a mob. We should adopt a strategy of differentiation, while inciting the resentment of the people, and at the same time canonizing the nine surnames of Tiele, ordering
They fight against each other..."
After writing thousands of eloquent words, he ordered people to send them to Chang'an on flying horses. This was a formal edict, not a private letter sent by flying pigeons. Li Mu chose to do this because he wanted all the officials in the imperial court to see his remarks.
, because he is not sure whether his method will work, or it will be safe to find out and fill in the gaps after discussion at the court. If his suggestion is rejected, it doesn't matter, at least it provides an idea. Anyway, no matter what
Neither Xue Yantuo nor Xue Yantuo had the ability to shake the Tang Dynasty. It was just a matter of length of time and whether it was decent or not. The result would be the same.
After seeing Xue Yantuo, Li Mu's eyes continued to move clockwise downwards. In the later generations, the Northeast was still a "barren land". It was said to be a barren land, but it was not uninhabited. Khitan, Shiwei, Mohe, and many others
Small tribes and ethnic groups live in this place. Due to the climate, these tribes are unable to grow, and they are also enslaved and oppressed by neighboring countries, such as Goguryeo, Xueyantuo, etc., and their living conditions are very unoptimistic.
Of course, they did not pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and because of their weak strength, they were not even qualified to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. But Li Mu attached great importance to these ethnic groups. In addition to his relationship with Li Chongyi, he knew that these ethnic groups would become more important after the Tang Dynasty.
brilliant.
These ethnic groups, the Khitan and the Mohe, are the ancestors of the later Liao and Jin Dynasties. They only limited the development of their tribes because of the place where they lived. In fact, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they were not weaker than any nomadic people at all.
Li Mu stared at this area for a long time, finally picked up a pen and wrote something on a piece of paper.
He was using English. English had not yet been born in this era, so he was sure that no one would know him, so there was no need to worry about anyone being able to understand him.
Further east, there are Goguryeo and Baekje. As a thorn in Li Shimin's side, many strategies have been formulated to deal with them. Li Mu feels that he can't waste any more brain cells on them.
The surrounding countries were basically like this. Li Mu set his sights on the vast sea. News came back from Japan that with the help of Shanbei's elder brother Wang Yixiu and Li Chongyi, he had captured two of the four Japanese islands.
Evenly matched with the Suga clan, it was basically a confrontation, and no one could do anything to the other. Of course, if Li Mu wanted to take over the Japanese country, it would be very easy. Hou Jun gathered an army of 20,000 here, and he only needed to transport 5,000 people by ship.
In the past, the balance will be broken.
You must know that Hou Junji's men were the most elite 20,000 people in the Tang Dynasty. They had the best configuration of the Tang army, but what they faced was a lack of copper and iron, basically no metal protective gear, and forging technology had not yet developed.
The dwarf warriors of the Japanese country rose up, and five thousand people landed on the Japanese country. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were invincible. Unless they were ambushed, there was no possibility of losing. But Li Mu didn't want to do this. What good would it do to him to capture the Japanese country? He
It is impossible to live there. It is better to maintain the current situation and let the eldest brother Shanbei need him all the time so that he can continue to squeeze the resources of the Japanese country. Otherwise, once the Japanese country is "unified" again, there is no guarantee that this group of ungrateful Japanese people will not
Have some other thoughts.
Further down, the corners of Li Mu's mouth turned up slightly.
The largest island in China in later generations, there are now almost no people on it. Most of the time, it was used as a port of call between Guangzhou and Yangzhou, to replenish fresh water or to avoid wind and waves. The ground was frozen, and most of the livestock died on the road. Even more
