Chapter 973
Xiao Yu was dismissed from prime minister, but he was still able to be given the title of Prince and Young Tutor and was granted the title of Duke of Xuande. It can be seen that he did not offend the emperor. Seeing Xiao Yu's result, the prime minister and minister of the Central Secretariat should not be punished, and he should not be demoted to the place.
Although I want to leave the capital and go to the Qilian Mountains to take a vassal state, it cannot be considered a demotion.
Qianhu is a true title and a hundred miles is a state of state. This is the third prince in the court to be officially granted. The first two are the emperor's brothers, and Xiao Yu is the first prince of a different surname.
the next day.
The emperor then issued an edict, granting Fang Xuanling the title of Minister of the Secretariat and Chen Shuda as the title of Minister of the Sect.
In this way, the two ministers of the Secretariat were Hou Mo Chen Yi and Fang Xuanling, the two ministers were Wei Zheng and Chen Shuda, the left and right servants were Du Ruhui and Wang Ziming, the other Privy Councilor Zhang Xutuo, the Minister of War Wei Wensheng, the Minister of Personnel Qu Tutong, the Censor Du Yan, the Master of the Hanlin Academy, the Master of the Hanlin Academy, and the eleven prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were prepared again.
Xiao Yu's removal of the phase did not affect any major response.
The two prime ministers Zhang Xutuo and Wei Wensheng also went to the front lines of Jincheng County and Wuwei County to take charge. Qin Qiong Yuchi Gong and other five tiger generals also rushed to the edge of Qinghai Lake.
Every day, flying pigeons are sent to the front line military information.
In Qin Qiong's memorial to the emperor, he repeated his confidence several times.
"This battle will definitely win!"
The war machine of the Qin Empire has been fully launched.
Along the two routes of Longyou and Hexi, countless supplies, food, soldiers, and civilians gathered in Qinghai Lake.
The Lintao, Xiping and Jiaohe counties on the border also strengthened their combat preparations in all respects.
People along the way were gathering towards the city of Fuqi, Qinghai.
In Chang'an City.
The emperor summoned Tang Jian, who had just returned to Chang'an from Qinghai.
Facing this somewhat brave envoy, Luo Cheng asked him to wait outside the hall for a full two hours before summoning him.
"Tang Jian, you are so brave!"
Tang Jian knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I think Tuyuhun has a wolf's ambition. Instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative first and take the initiative in his hands."
"But you have not succeeded. Even if you have a plan, you should report to the court first and then plan it. If the court planned this matter, there would definitely be no such failure. It would be impossible for Murong Ke, Murong Anyuan, Tianzhu Wang and others to escape, leading to today's Qinghai Rebellion!"
However, although he scolded Tang Jian, Luo Cheng did not blame him in the end.
After all, he was far away in Tuyuhun at that time, thousands of miles away from the capital, and there were no time to ask for help in some situations. Although he was a little braver, as envoys and generals, sometimes he really needed this kind of decisive power.
Although he failed, he couldn't blame him all.
"Tang Jian, I now give you a chance to atone for your sins. To the south of Jishi Mountain are the Dangxiang Qiang tribes. Now most of the Dangxiang Qiang tribes have been persuaded by Tubo and sent troops to attack north. I send you secretly to the Dangxiang Qiang tribes and bring my decree."
Dangxiang Qiang is south of Tuyuhun, close to Sichuan, sandwiched between Tuyuhun and Supi. Now Supi is annexed by Tubo, so the two major tribes, Dangxiang Qiang and Bailan Qiang, are directly connected to Tubo.
These Qiang tribes are located in remote and wilderness, so they are very barbaric, with some benefits, so they are moved.
This time I wanted to go north with Tubo to grab one.
Luo Cheng asked Tang Jian to go to the Sefeng tribes of Dangxiang Qiang to lobby these Dangxiang Qiang to join the Qin Dynasty. Luo Cheng promised that as long as they joined the Qin Dynasty and attacked the Tubo and the Tuyuhun rebels, the land occupied by the Tubo, the Qin Dynasty would grant them the title of Subi.
In addition, the court will also grant official positions and titles from the Dangxiang Qiang tribes, trade with them, open border markets, and exchange tea for horses. They will exchange silk cloth, salt and wine from the Central Plains for their cows, horses and furs.
Opening border bans and trade between trade has always been extremely tempting for those tribes on the border. Generally speaking, the Central Plains will restrict transactions with those tribes, making it difficult for them to obtain enough Central Plains materials they need, thereby limiting their development and growth.
Even some smaller tribes have no qualifications at all, so they can only trade with large tribes that are qualified to trade with the Central Plains and spend more money.
Not to mention, the granting of the Central Plains is very valuable. If you can get the enthronement of the Central Plains and get the promotion of the Central Plains, they can sometimes order the surrounding small tribes, and even use the banner of the Central Plains court to conquer those hostile forces. Most people dare not interfere.
Of course, Dangxiang and Qiang had already agreed to the Tubo people's request to send troops first, so it was not easy to convince the Dangxiang people successfully.
"If you successfully convince Dangxiang and Qiang to surrender, I will not blame you. If you cannot do it, then the new and old accounts will be settled together, and the two crimes will be punished together, so I am willing?"
Tang Jian immediately said, "I am willing to redeem my merits and atone for my sins and send an envoy to Dangxiang Qiang!"
Luo Cheng smiled and nodded, "Since that's the case, then step down!"
Dangxiang is also a branch of the Western Qiang, so it is also called Dangxiang Qiang. Their famous historical point is that they later established the Western Xia Kingdom in Gansu.
But at the earliest times, the Qiang people mainly originated in the Yellow River area southeast of Qinghai, which is the area around Heyuan County at this time.
During the Han Dynasty, a large number of Qiang people moved to Helong and Guanzhong areas, but the Dangxiang people remained in the Maijishan area at the source of the Yellow River, living a primitive nomadic tribe life without knowing the crops and plants and trees.
They divided the units with tribes and used surnames as tribe names. By this time, the Eight Dangxiang Tribes gradually formed.
Among them, the Tuoba clan and the Xifeng clan were the most powerful.
In history, they also relocated to the inner world during the Tang Dynasty, and gradually concentrated in eastern Gansu and northern Shaanxi. Later, taking advantage of the Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, Tuoba Sigong, the governor of Xiang Youzhou, sent troops to serve the king. He was granted the title of Duke of Xia and the surname Li by Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty.
As for the Dangxiang people, they finally stepped onto the political stage. During the storm period from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, they gradually controlled several states, gained military power, and became tyrants of the vassal states who dominated the country.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, he rebelled against the Song Dynasty and established the Western Xia.
But at this time, Dangxiang Qiang could only be regarded as a relatively backward branch among the Qiang people. There were a large number of Qiang people in the Guanlong Hexi area, many of which were moved intravenously during the Han Dynasty. They were already considered to be Qiang.
But Dangxiang Qiang always stayed in his hometown at the source of the Yellow River and lived a nomadic life behind the primitive, but these people were very fierce and fierce.
If these party members can be instigated to rebel, they will be stabbed Tubo in a crack.
As for whether Dangxiang Qiang had to surrender and was granted official positions and fiefdoms, would it take the opportunity to rise and separatist like in the late Tang Dynasty in history? This is what happened in the future. Luo Cheng believes that under normal circumstances, they would not have such a chance again.
Luo Cheng also sent several other envoys to Bailan Qiang, Duomian, and the eight kingdoms of the East Nv Kingdom. These were the Qiang tribes north of Subi, and most of them surrendered to Tubo after Tubo conquered Subi.
However, he still retained his actual independent status. Luo Cheng also hoped to instigate these Western Qiang countries to surrender to the Qin Dynasty and counterattack the Tubo through diplomatic means.
Before he left Luoyang, he sent an envoy to Mobei to send an edict to King Xueyantuo Khan, asking the King Mobei Khan, who belonged to the Qin Dynasty to send troops to the Western Turks.
He even sent two missions to pretend to be caravans, intending to go west, cross the Western Regions controlled by the Western Turks, to Persia and Rome, respectively, to send missions to the two countries, form alliances with them, and deal with the Western Turks together.
The enemy is a friend. Luo Cheng doesn't mind attracting a few more helpers. He just wants to end the war sooner because Daqin is now unable to hold on.
