Chapter 541

"Datou is so beautiful." Yi Feng sneered a few times, "In my plan, Dato will be a rich idle man in the capital, and he will do nothing and can't save anything."

Pei Shiju asked, "Does Your Majesty still want to send troops to the grassland?"

"Of course, the Northern Expedition has not been fully achieved this year. The war in western Liaoning is not yet decided. After the recovery of western Liaoning, the court will make another northern expedition and completely resolve the grassland problem in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty, the grassland cannot be cultivated, and even if it is occupied, it cannot be defended for a long time. It is not good to send troops to the grassland. It is better to accept the surrender of the Turks, which will not only avoid the burden of food and grass transportation, but also prevent the soldiers from using troops. At that time, His Majesty Gaozu's strategies against the Turks were all differentiated and attacks, and they were separated from the strong. This made the Turks unable to become bigger. The court was not immune to the threat of the Turks, but also the expense of using troops." Pei Shiju persuaded.

Yi Feng flicked his robe, "That's right, but this strategy is not perfect. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the last year's Datou unified the Turks, and the imperial court had a northern expedition this year. The imperial court had to change its strategy for the Turks and the grasslands. The people of the grassland have always surrendered if they are weak, and rebelled if they are strong, and they are capricious. Now that the Turks are newly defeated, there is Tielle rebellion. This is the best time for the imperial court to solve the Turks and the grasslands once and for all. If they miss this time, they will regret it for the rest of their lives."

Pei Shiju was surprised to see Yi Feng raise the Turkic military service to such a height, "Does Your Majesty have a better strategy to solve the grassland problem?"

"Of course there are solutions, but I have to conquer them first before I can implement them."

Pei Shiju saw that the emperor did not explain the new strategy. He had to resist asking at the moment. However, in his heart, he still didn't believe that the emperor had any omnipotent and good solution. He could solve the threat of the grassland once and for all. After all, he had been on missions to the grassland many times and had an understanding of the grassland. He could claim to be the top three officials in the court. He could not think of a better strategy to deal with the Turks than Emperor Wen, but he could only believe so first when the emperor said so.

"You just came back, and you should have reunite with your family at home for more days. But now I am not waiting. I plan to wait until next autumn when the horse is tall and fat, and immediately send troops to the northern expedition again. Therefore, there are still some diplomatic work that requires capable officials like you to do. In a few days, you will go to the Western Regions and bring my will to the ancient Gaochang countries. Let the kings of the Western Regions come to the capital to participate in the Zhengdan Dynasty next year and meet the emperor of the Central Plains. In addition, we will also meet Datou and let him come to the capital. Of course, if he is not willing to come, it will be fine. At that time, I will send generals to lead troops and lock him into the capital directly. In addition, I have asked Changsun Sheng to lead the delegation to Tielle in Mobei and ordered them to prepare. Next autumn, we will fight Datou together with us."

Pei Shiju saw that the emperor really wanted to send troops to the grassland and had to play the big ones once, but he couldn't help asking, "I don't know what kind of tricks your Majesty has. He can solve the grassland problem once and for all."

"Actually, it's not worth much money to say it, but since you want to hear it so much, it's okay to tell it to you. But you can't reveal it."

"I must keep my mouth shut like a bottle." Pei Shiju said hurriedly.

Yi Feng's plan to solve the grassland problem is actually quite simple. He just borrowed from the old ways of conquering the Mongolian grasslands in later generations. To conquer the grasslands, of course, you have to defeat them first, otherwise. The other Xiuti. It is not enough to defeat them. There are not many of the Central Plains dynasties who defeated the grassland nomadic tribes. For example, Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns in a very embarrassing manner and kept retreating north. But in the end, the Han people did not really solve the Huns, let alone establish rule on the grasslands. To put it bluntly, the grasslands are completely unsuitable for planting food. If the Han people immigrate to the grasslands, it will not take long to become a nomadic tribe. The lifestyle of nomadic people living by water and grass is difficult to adapt to, let alone establish rule. In the end, the Han people's set of Han people does not work on the grasslands.

In the end, the Qing Dynasty successfully controlled the Mongolian grasslands. After all, they still used the Mongols to rule the Mongols, but the Qing Dynasty won over and controlled the upper Mongolian aristocracy. They only needed to control the upper aristocracy, and then let the Mongolian aristocracy control the Mongolian herders, and they controlled the entire Mongolian grasslands the same. The Qing Dynasty had no secret to controlling the Mongolian aristocracy. One was to fight until the Mongols subdued it. At the beginning, the Mongols also worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. They had been long overdue by the Ming Dynasty.

The Chao was defeated and was also a mortal enemy with the Later Jin. But in the end, the Later Jin defeated the Mongols and called them fathers. Then, the Qing Dynasty began to win over, first marrying, the Emperor Princes of the Qing Dynasty, Beile and the Emperors of the Qing Dynasty married the daughters of Mongolian nobles, and then married the Princess of the Qing Dynasty to the grassland to the leaders of the Mongolian tribes, so they would marry each other, share interests, and get married, and naturally they would become a family. Of course, if it was just a marriage, it would not completely guarantee control of the Mongolian grassland.

The most powerful move for the Qing Dynasty to control the Mongolian grassland was to enfeoff the Mongolian nobles, divide the land of the Mongolian nobles, and then stipulate that they should not cross the boundary. As a result, a huge Mongolian grassland was divided into relatively independent tribal territory, which allowed the Mongolians to disperse one piece and then unable to integrate into a complete force, and there was no more Khan who could command the entire grassland. Once someone wanted to cross the boundary and expand his strength, he would inevitably attract other tribes.

The joint suppression of the tribe and the Qing Dynasty. This system of land-dividing and feudal division was also a good thing for the Mongolian nobles on the grassland. They became aristocrats from generation to generation, their descendants were hereditary territories, and even could receive salary from the Qing Dynasty. Especially after the grassland surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the trade between the two sides strengthened, and the Mongolian nobles could easily sell their output to those foreign merchants from the grassland in exchange for a large amount of various materials they wanted, and could easily become an extremely comfortable noble.

Especially after the Qing Dynasty, the monarch provided them with security protection and helped them prevent the invasion and plunder of the ambitious Mongolian nobles, they really lived a very free life, and no one was willing to return to the era when the grasslands were fighting each other and tribes took turns to dominate. Of course, the Qing Dynasty also had many other strategies to control the grasslands, such as causing Buddhism to rise to the Buddhist temple on the grasslands, allowing those originally aggressive grasslands to believe in Buddhism and worship Buddha, and slowly erode their fighting spirit. In short, the Qing Dynasty's control over the grasslands was indeed the best thing that did in ancient China's dynasties. It was them who completely included the grasslands that were free from the Central Plains into the system of the Central Plains dynasty.

Yi Feng didn't care about using the Qing Dynasty's set. He first took advantage of the great opportunity to defeat the Turks, and then he also gave a large seal, demarcate the fiefdom, prohibit crossing the border, and strengthened trade with the grassland. In short, it was to allow those nobles to be pigs and live a comfortable and worry-free life. If this continued, the grassland would naturally become a pool of stagnant water, and it would be difficult to cause any turmoil.

"First join forces with the countries of the Western Regions and Tielle to destroy Datou and Dulan, then use the surrendered troops of the Turks to destroy Tielle, and then reorganize the Western Regions. Finally, the areas south of Yinshan are directly included in the rule of the court, setting up prefectures and counties, building cities and garrison troops to emigrate and cultivate fields, and push the border line northward. For the wider eastern and western grasslands, you can surrender to the court early, and then divide the noble leaders who have made contributions to the court's war. I plan to enfeoff them in the fifth grade, Khan, Ye Hu, Special Military, Shi Jin, Tutun. At that time, he will be granted ten or eight Khans, and then he will be granted dozens of Ye Hu, hundreds of Shi Jin, Tutun, and divide the grassland into hundreds or thousands of territories of large and small. And most importantly, it is necessary to specifically stipulate that the five-grade territories of the titles shall be granted the titles of the fifth grade.

The territory is mutual. Although the Khan's territory is larger than Yehu's and his title is higher than Yehu's, the Khan cannot control Yehu's territory. Their territory is mutual. Moreover, the imperial court must specifically stipulate the number of troops that can be possessed by all levels of titles. It is strictly forbidden for each leader to cross the boundary, and it is not allowed to invade other divisions. However, if there are fouls in the border, the Great Sui general will send troops to join forces with the tribes to fight and destroy them. The territories will be inherited by the lords from generation to generation, and the Emperor of the Great Sui emperor will guarantee that their territory's hereditary power will be sacred and inviolable. If anyone dares to seize the throne and power, the Great Sui general will send troops to attack and return the right to the legal heirs of the territory. Well, we must spread Buddhist paths to the grassland, build temples, build schools on the grassland, build shopping malls, build roads, and marry Han and Hu."

Pei Shiju opened his mouth wide. He never thought that the emperor's new strategy was actually this way. At first, it sounded too natural. The Turks were willing to obey the emperor's enthronement? But when they thought about it, they felt that it was very operational. The premise was that they could really defeat the tribes on the grassland, but this seemed to be not a problem. Now, His Majesty the Emperor already has many Turkic nobles such as Poshi and Nili, and some of them were originally little Khans. Now, there are 200,000 Turkic surrendered troops who are loyal to His Majesty in the Central Plains. These people are still waiting for His Majesty to let them return to the grassland. If His Majesty the Emperor asked these Turkic nobles to fight back to the grassland and then promised to enthrone them as Khans, they would definitely be willing to kill them.

The first class is desperate. Use these Turkic soldiers who surrendered to Tiele to unite to destroy the old forces of Datou and Dulan, and then turn around and destroy Tiele, the tribes that want to stand on their own. Then what remains are the Turkic nobles who surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty. Then the emperor will confer fifth-class titles to them in the name of rewarding merits and then divide the territory. Most of them will definitely be happy. A few great nobles may be dissatisfied, but under the general trend, they still have room for resistance? Dare to resist, just give the court a chance to unite with other Turkic nobles to destroy them and divide their territory. When everything is settled, the grassland has been divided one after another. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
