Hearing Qi Bi Ming's reprimanding voice, everyone present looked a little embarrassed and shocked.

Qi Bi Ming ignored how everyone felt and continued, "Governors and Governors of the Nine Prefectures and Eighteen Prefectures, how many people are there?"

The many Hu tribes in Hequ prefectures have their own strengths and weaknesses. Among them, the most powerful ones are Tiel. Tiel itself is a general term for many tribal alliances, the so-called Tiel, but in fact, Tiel, the large and small tribes of Tiel, are far more than nine.

The Qie tribe, which was born in Qie Ming, was divided into several tribes.

At this point, the internal structure of these Hu tribes is actually quite similar to that of the families in the Tang Dynasty. Although they share a surname and county arch, they are divided into many house branches. Qie Heli, Qie Ming and his son were officials in the Tang Dynasty, and their tribes are similar to the fixed houses of the Qie Zhu tribe.

Secondly, during the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the Tielite tribes themselves were the most important ally of the Tang Dynasty among the Huhu. Whether it was the collapse of the Eastern Turks or the expedition to Goguryeo, including the hegemony in the Western Regions, the Tielite tribes helped the Tang Dynasty a lot.

It can be said that without the help of the Tielite tribes, the Tang Empire, which rose to the ruins of the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, would be difficult to establish the only hegemony in the region in such a short time.

For this reason, the Tang Dynasty was reciprocating the Tielite tribes and regarded this alliance as the main target of restraint. The throne prefectures established by the Tielite tribes alone were as many as nine prefectures and eighteen prefectures. For example, the Hanhai Governor's Office led by the Uighur tribes was not only restrained by the tribe, but also replaced the Tang Dynasty to maintain order around the Helan Mountains.

Hearing Qi Bi Ming's words, more than ten Hu chiefs present stood up and bowed to him, but the number was far less than the number of nine prefectures and eighteen states.

Seeing this scene, Qi Ziming's face suddenly sank, and his tone became even worse: "Is there anyone present in Yao Luo Ge's family?"

Among the Tiel tribes, in addition to Xue Yantuo, who had been defeated by the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs was the most powerful. Especially during the Zhenguan period, the Uighur leader Bodhisattva led the tribe, which also enabled the Uighurs to compete with Xue Yantuo, and even dared to raise an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty during the Longshuo period.

The Uighurs are also a small tribal alliance, with nine surnames, and perhaps even more, but the ministers of the Tang Dynasty may love the "nine" numbers and only recorded the nine surnames of the Uighurs. Among them, Yaoluoge is the Khan surname among the Uighurs, and his status within the Uighurs is equivalent to the Turkish Ashina family. They served as the leader of the Uighurs for generations and were the governor of the Hanhai Governor's Office enthroned by the Tang Dynasty.

"I am appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Hanhai Governor's Office. The Tianshan County Magistrate will be the only one who can be transferred to the branch. I will meet with General Qibi!"

After Qi Ziming finished speaking, a thirty-year-old man in his twenties stood up and called himself to come and bow to him.

As for this official position, it was also very confusing. Among them, the Hanhai Governor's Office was established by the Tang Dynasty, and the Uighurs were influenced by the Turkish official system. The Governor's Office added left and right positions to command people. Tianshan County was the county established by its ancestral place after the Longshuo period of the Tang Dynasty. The Tianshan County Magistrate was granted the title of the imperial court, which was basically equivalent to the Uighur's crown prince.

"Only releasing the branch?"

Qi Bi Ming glanced at the Uighur Crown Prince, his eyes flashed, and then raised his hand and said, "Turn him out of the hall, I will tie him up on a torture frame, whip it for twenty years, come and listen to the training again!"

After hearing this, Du Jiezhi's face changed suddenly. Before he could argue, he was pulled out of the hall by the Tang army's strong soldiers. Soon, the sound of whipping and Du Jiezhi's screams sounded outside the hall.

The Hu chiefs present heard this sound and couldn't help but feel even more frightened. The only one who was whipped twenty times and then entered the hall, his clothes were messy, and the whip marks were bleeding, and he could not even stand firm with his own strength.

Qi Bi Ming sat upright in the hall, lowered his eyes and looked at Du Jiezhi and said coldly: "For the country, I am ordered by His Highness Yong to go north to control the chaos and kill the thieves. The governor of Hanhai did not come to see him. This alone can cure his disrespectful crime! In private, if my father had not been ordered to slaughter the old chaos, the Yaoluoge family would have long disappeared. Your father said that he would be a slave in my family in the old year, but the master entered the country but did not see the slave. He should also punish him! Whip you twenty, would you accept it?"

"I am humble in my position, and I am obedient to the master to punish him and dare not resent! However, the reason why my father did not come is that he is getting older and traveling is inconvenient. He was also summoned by Fengzhou Prefecture a year ago and led his troops to Hetao to prepare for thieves. He worked so hard that he is still recuperating today..."

After being whipped, Du Jiezhi did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, but just kowtowed to the ground and said.

Although the Uighur tribe is the most powerful among the Tiel tribes today, it is not afraid to be rude when facing Qie Ming. If it is just a force, the Qie Le tribe is not strong in this Tiel tribe. The nine governors' offices do not occupy a seat, and only own one state.

However, Qi Bi Ming and his son were high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty. In particular, Qi Bi Ming's father, Qi Bi He Li, was highly trusted by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and was named Duke Liang. He was the real loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty court.

In the old years, there was also a female protagonist in the Uighurs. The aunt of Du Jiezhi led several tribes to betray the Tang Dynasty and was defeated in one battle. If it weren't for the edict of Qiheli to besiege the Yaoluo Ge family and to protect the Yaoluo Ge family, he recommended Du Jiezhi's father Bisu to succeed as the Hanhai Governor, but he was afraid that the Yaoluo Ge family would also be destroyed like the Xueyantuo Yi family, so Yaoluo Ge Hezong regarded the Qiluo family as the main family.

As for Qibi Ming, who was also a general and tiger race, had a high prestige among the Tiel tribes. In the old days, Turkic Gu Dulu occupied Yu Dujun Mountain to build Ya to restore the country. Qibi Ming only led more than a hundred troops to Yu Dujun Mountain, and sued more than 20,000 tents of Tiel tribes at one time. This shows how high the prestige among the Tiel tribes.

At present, Qi Bi Ming was just whipping Du Jiezhi. Even if he called on the Uighur tribes to abandon the Yao Luoge family and establish a new Uighur leader, it was just a matter of one sentence. Therefore, Du Jiezhi not only dared not complain, but also had to explain quickly.

"Is it not the responsibility of your troops to lead the troops to prepare for the war? If you are old and stupid, can you control the imperial troops? Not to mention the time being, your troops' Hanhai Governor's Office guards the eastern foot of Helan Mountain and even allows the Turkic thieves to come south, can you be exempted from crime?"

When Qi Bi Ming spoke this, his face became even more serious, and he slapped the table and said angrily: "The great kindness of the Tang Dynasty, I have given you good land to nourish and grow, but your troops cannot guard it. Since that's the case, I will return to your father, rectify the ministry, and prepare to move. The Hanhai Governor's Office will no longer be the leader of the Yaoluoge family!"

"Please, please forgive me! Our army is indeed guilty this time, but it will not die... Our army is willing to accept the punishment of the court, only to be able to stay in the hometown! If it is changed again, even if we donate all the power of the clan to fight, we will never dare to indulge the Turkic thieves to continue to come south!"

After hearing this, Du Jiezhi looked anxious and looked like he was about to collapse.

Although their main body is still nomadic, it does not mean that they can be transferred at will. In fact, if most nomadic peoples are not forced, they will often not carry out large-scale tribal migrations.

Their living environment is fragile and herdsmen have little savings. Once they migrate, the loss of manpower and material resources is astonishing. Not only does a large number of livestock die, but new tribesmen often do not even be born in several years.

There are many tribes in the north and south of the desert, often encountering multiple natural disasters and man-made disasters during the migration process, and eventually dissipating invisible, or the entire tribe dies or integrates into other tribes.

Therefore, if it weren't for the difficulties and there was almost no hope of the tribes living in their hometown, these tribes would not have migrated with their clans, and they would not have been able to bear such a high price.

It is precisely because of this that when the Tang Dynasty opened the Northwest Hequbian Prefecture to provide these Hu tribes with internal living, the tribes were also grateful. Even if there were no other preferential and relief policies, just providing such a resting place would increase the chances of survival of these tribes several times.

Now that Qibi Ming actually ordered the entire Uighurs to move, this was a big blow to the Uighurs. There was no need for another punishment from the Tang Dynasty. Just if this news spread, the Uighurs might have to give up the Yaoluoge family's command of them.

"Since you are willing to accept it, you will never say anything more. Perhaps your troops believe that they are stronger than the Turks, but since I am ordered by His Highness Yong, I can build a Jingguan, and I can build ten or hundreds!"

When Qi Biming spoke this, his tone was full of threats. The reason why he would rather pay a huge price to wipe out the Turkic thieves was to gain the deterrent force in front of him.

Without this deterrence, it would be impossible for him to order the Uighurs to relocate, which was forcing the Uighurs to escape from the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

But now, the Turkic invading elite troops were wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and even the Khans were chased and killed into a dog of a family. It is unknown whether they could survive and return to the desert. The situation in the north of the desert in the future is unpredictable. Even if the Uighurs betrayed the Tang Dynasty, no strong man could provide them with shelter.

When they heard the punishment of Qibi Ming to the Uighurs, the Hu chiefs present were also frightened.

The Tiel tribes are the most powerful Hu tribe alliance around Hequ, and the Uighurs are the most powerful among the Tiel tribes. The tribes have tens of thousands of tents. In other words, the Uighurs have tens of thousands of war-capable men.

But now, just Qi Bi Ming said casually that even if the Uighurs do not have the worries of the destruction of their clan, they will be greatly damaged. Perhaps it will be difficult to develop into such a momentum in the next few decades, and they may be pursued and beaten by other tribes.

When Du Jiezhi heard that Qi Ziming had decided, he was already in tears. Thirty years ago, the Uighurs had suffered serious injuries when they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and could not recover yet. Fortunately, Qi Zihe Li's protection was only survived, but now Qi Ziming wants to drive their Uighurs into a desperate situation, and they are completely unable to resist.

Although the Uighurs had tens of thousands of war-capable men, they belonged to the nine major clans. The Yaoluoge family could directly command only a part of them. Now that the Turks are newly defeated, if they dare to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, they might not even be able to fight out of their ancestral land, and there might be internal fighting and civil strife.
