Chapter 1464 Baochen

Beijing, Fanyang Prefecture.

The emperor was in deep thought as he looked at the news sent back from Mobei. Nishu's arrogance could be said to have allowed the court to enter Mobei in advance. If he had not been ecstatic, the court actually had no plan to send troops directly to Mobei so soon.

It's okay now. Nidun went crazy and Xue Yantuo was defeated.

The court not only destroyed Xue Yantuo, but also witnessed the birth of another loyal famous general. In this battle, Luo Keyong not only showed his loyalty, but also proved his generals.

In this battle, even Li Jing, Su Dingfang, who were far away in the border areas, Qin Qiong, and Xu Shiji, who were in the court, praised them all.

It is a good thing that the county was established in the northern part of the Mo River and the Tiel tribes surrendered.

Now Luo Ke has used the construction of cities and buildings in Mobei to build beacons and also to build official ranches. These are all done well, but it is obviously not enough to completely consolidate Mobei.

"The Bodhisattva's actions were unexpected."

It was already February in the palace. The Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Luoyang City had just passed and the imperial examination was about to be held again. However, in Fanyang Prefecture, Beijing, it was not so lively. Before the New Year, because Xue Yantuo invaded the territory, even Fanyang Prefecture was an important northern town, and martial law was once in a while. The government soldiers, county soldiers, and township regiments also gathered and practiced to prepare for war.

Fortunately, the mud comes quickly and is defeated quickly. Now even Mobei is a county of the court, so many merchants gathered in Fanyang and prepared to enter Mobei to dig a bucket of gold.

"This Bodhisattva is indeed not simple. He was able to resolutely raise an army when Xue Yantuo was as strong as he was, and he could still hold on. Now that Xue Yantuo is defeated, they have no intention of dominating Mobei. They are so obedient. If this person is not a loyal person, he will be a traitor." Secretary-General Wang Gui said, "I think it is most likely a traitor. Such people should be careful."

Luo Cheng asked, "How should you beware of your intention?"

"I think that Bodhisattvas appear to be docile and do not show signs of rebellion, so the court cannot use some tough means, otherwise it will backfire. Therefore, they can use rewards and marriages to win over him. On the other hand, they should partially transform the Uighurs, collapse or even isolate him by establishing counties."

Luo Cheng was very satisfied with this answer. He was able to become an important minister of the imperial meeting with a purple robe and jade belt. Wang Gui was indeed a prime minister, with a big vision and a long vision.

The Qin Dynasty did not marry, but before, she only married daughters, but also accepted foreign vassals to send daughters into the palace. In recent years, the emperor would even take the initiative to ask the vassal states to send princesses, and the daughters of noble officials came, and then the emperor would give marriage to noble princes and ministers.

This unilateral marriage system has indeed strengthened the connection between the Qin Dynasty and its vassal states.

The two items of marriage and the entry of protons into the capital can not only strengthen the connection with the vassals, but also play some restraining and controlling roles on them.

However, the emperor was not only considering this level.

He also considered it further, and could not truly rule the northern desert by rewards, marriages and divisions alone.

The north of the Mohe is not as good as the south of the Mohe. Although the south of the Mohe is also separated from the northern part of the Central Plains, it is still directly connected. However, the north of the Mohe is too far away from the vast desert.

"The Uighurs were also named Yuan He and Wei He before. I gave the Uighur tribe a surname Yuan, and the Bodhisattva's surname Luo, and the name Baochen."

Giving a surname to a country means being included in the royal family. From the Han patriarchal system, this is equivalent to becoming a royal family. In feudal society, surnames are also divided into high and low.

The emperor's surname is also called the national surname, so it is naturally the most noble. Being able to grant a national surname is the highest spiritual reward for the ministers. Only those who have made great contributions to the country and the country can receive this honor, let alone those who receive a national surname are classified and later managed by Zongzheng Temple, becoming relatives and nobles of the royal family.

The Emperor of Qin gave many names to his ministers, but not many gave him surnames.

Previously, the emperor gave the country a surname and name, including King Xi, Khitan Khan and others, as well as the former Turkic Special Forces Ashinasmo, etc., and even the adopted sons accepted by the emperor, not all gave them names.

The emperor gave the surname Yuan to the main tribe of the Uighurs, and gave the leader Bodhisattva both the surname of the country and the name, and then gave the remaining eight Uighurs, each with one Han surname.

Of course, the emperor also took this opportunity to simply give the Han surname to Tiele, the twelve counties in the north of the Mo. The leaders of each tribe were granted the surnames and names of the country.

At the same time, the emperor gave the surname the same as the Uighurs. It was not given the surnames according to the twelve major counties, but gave the county and divisions under the twelve major counties and each gave the Han surnames.

The surnames given were all chosen from the clan chronicles compiled by the court before.

So the emperor gave 108 surnames to the thirteen counties in the north of the Mo River, and even Xue Yantuo was changed to the surname Xue, Jin, etc.

One hundred and eight surnames mean that the court actually divided 108 counties and departments in the north of Mo. The emperor gave the titles of Duke, Marquis, Bozinan and other officials to the heads of each county, and granted them official positions and positions to the court.

"The throne of the princes in the northern Mobei can be hereditary."

The emperor was trying to win over these barbarians in Mobei. The princes of the 108 counties in Mobei would send their daughters to China and the emperor would give their daughters to the royal family or nobles, or be selected into the harem. They would also send the eldest son to the capital to the capital as a lord. On the other hand, the emperor also decided to select the noble daughters of the right age from the royal family or nobles to the marriage to the princes.

This means that the marriage of the princes in Mobei will be granted by the Emperor of Qin, and their wife must be a Han daughter. In the future, she will give birth to a legitimate son and then go to Beijing to study and guard. Then, when she becomes an adult, she will return to Mobei, and then the emperor will give the marriage of the Han daughter, and then inherit the title in the future.

In this way, the upper level of Mobei Tiel can be slowly Chineseized.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted!"

Several ministers praised it, but in fact, this assimilation strategy was not created by the emperor. It has existed since ancient times. Not only did the Han Dynasty assimilate the barbarians, but some barbarians also wanted to transform into the Han people. For example, the Xianbei people took the initiative to transform into the Han people, but they also gave the Xianbei surname to the Han people, hoping to transform into the Han people.

Yang Jian’s father Yang Zhong was once called Pu Liuruzhong, and Li Yuan’s grandfather was also once called Da Yehu.

In the past, there were always strong people in the tribes in Mobei. The strong people dominated and the tribes depended on them. This was a tribal alliance system, and Khan was the leader of the alliance.

Now, the Qin army stationed in Mobei, and Mobei is not allowed to have a dominant leader. Even the large tribes would classify him as a small tribe, with most of them as counties, but the lower parts were placed into counties. In the future, the court would even further divide those counties into several township departments, so as to draw a yard into prison, divide them and govern them.

In Mobei, the only overlord is the imperial court.

"The princes need to come to the capital to worship the emperor every year!"
