Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    July is approaching in a blink of an eye.

    Even outside the Great Wall, the weather is getting hotter. White light and wisps of water vapor appear on the vast grassland, allowing the sun's blazing light to squeeze out from the ground and transpire into the sky.  Li Wei returned to Shuozhou again.

    Open each newspaper.

    There are some doubts in my mind. In my memory, the Eastern Turks, which is what historians call the post-Turkic era, are very impressive.  []

    Why failed so miserably?

    It will be defeated, and it must be defeated, but in Li Wei's prediction, there will be many bloody battles, and the time of failure is also expected to be later.

    There were some errors in his thinking.  In the post-Turkic era, it was not the Gudulu period that was scary, but the silent era that was scary.  In comparison of strength, during the Wu Zhou era, Wu Zetian almost killed all the famous generals. In order to maintain the security of the regime, the people employed were mainly relatives, so the generals selected were of low caliber.  Even though Guo Yuanzhen and Tang Xiuluo stood out at that time, they had to guard against the Western Regions and Tubo, and had no energy to guard against the Eastern Turks.

    At this time, he brought almost all the elites of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the powerful warriors from the west of Qinghai who had experienced previous battles.  The soldiers of all the tribes in the river and the western regions are not strong in combat effectiveness, but they are not weak individually. They are mainly scattered and do not have a capable general to guide them.  In fact, the individual combat effectiveness is still very strong, and they are more suitable for fighting here and on the vast prairie.

    The Eastern Turks did not become truly powerful. As they did later, they first annexed the Tiele tribe in the north and east.  If the Eastern Turks in history have grown into a towering tree in ten years' time, then at this moment the Turks are just a small seedling with a large population and no huge economic support due to Pei Xingjian's two attacks in the past few years.  There is still some psychological cowardice, and we have not even had time to develop various industries, including various industries that make weapons.

    The war almost started when the Tang Dynasty was relatively powerful and when the Turks were relatively weak. The contrast was huge.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbmbmbmbmbmbmbgs????????????????????????????.  Leave the rear empty.

    The wealth Li Wei brought from the Khorasan, Sind, and Tehran areas was constantly rewarded, which boosted morale.  Another sharp contrast was formed.

    So the sudden pressure people failed miserably.  But in terms of scale, this also became the largest battle in the history of the Tang Dynasty.  A total of more than 400,000 troops were dispatched. Even in the later period, Nuogebo defected from Tuyuhun, Xiayan and other state officials, and successively added 50,000 to 60,000 troops to Fengzhou and Heisha The total force  It almost reached an army of nearly half a million men.  This has never happened before in the history of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

    In June, it became the harvest season. A large number of captured livestock and slaves started from Shuozhou, all the way to Fengzhou, to Lingzhou, Juyanhai, Jinshan, and even to the north, all over the wild. After distribution,  Taken to various places.

    Li Wei gave an order and it basically ended here.

    I originally took down some Tiele tribe by the way.  They even stamped their faces and tied silk scarves on their sleeves for identification.  However, when the situation developed to this point, Li Wei couldn't help but worry that the Huihu people would become dominant in the north.

    The way to balance is here.

    This is a must-have technique for emperors.  But it was time to go back.

    My mother asked Zhou Xing to interrogate Pei Yan, but I don¡¯t know what method was used. Pei Yan admitted that he was the one who deceived the late emperor and his mother.  And together with Guo Zhengyi and Guo Daiju.  He roughly knew that Wei Xuantong and Ben Changqian had a good relationship with him, so they did not move.  The mother beheaded three peopleand the whole family was exiled to Lingnan.

    Next, Zhou Xing was tortured. He did not come to Junchen, nor did he invite the king to enter the urn. He just tortured him in the same way Zhou Ju tortured people.  In order to make Zhou Xing confess, he also deceived Wu Zetian and used torture to make the suspect confess and interrogate the crime, resulting in many unjust cases.

    So he killed Zhou Xing again.

    "Anyway, the Ai family is at fault, but the Ai family is a female generation with short-sightedness. These ministers are not good, so they made mistakes.

    Then he issued an edict to blame himself. Wu Chengsi had ulterior motives and was demoted to the governor of Tangzhou.

    A meat show came. Not only did he lose the car, he lost his car, but also lost his artillery, lost his horse, and lost his death.  Then he returned the power, but he did not come back, and handed over the power to several prime ministers.  I have admitted my mistakes and killed some bad ministers to make room for you to come back. No matter what, I am still your mother, what can you do to me.

    Some people think so too.  Wu Zetian does not deal with government affairs. Once there is peace, let's find out.  But the ability of several prime ministers, and the government affairs are handed over to them, can be imagined.

    The country was almost in chaos. In fact, there were still ways, such as sending memorials from various places to the north. However, under the pressure of Wu Zetian, the officialsThey dare not propose it.  Li Wei even wondered if his mother did this deliberately. Take a look, what would the Ai family be like without it?  Otherwise, is there really nothing we can do?  As long as one person is promoted, the decree will be unimpeded immediately.  Qiu Renjie!

    Maybe not as good as Wu Zetian, maybe better than Wu Zetian, but definitely better than the current situation.

    Therefore, he was forced to go back.

    He called Ashina Daozhen and told him one thing: "The couple will return to Beijing soon."

    "Your Majesty, I want to return to the capital. The country is the most important thing."

    "Well, Lian asked you, what do you think of Lian's actions in the north?"

    "Your Majesty, I am also a descendant of the Tang clan. Please rest assured." You can still hear the simple words. The emperor is afraid that he will be dissatisfied with his treatment of the Turks.  Therefore, saying that I am a descendant of the Tang Dynasty clan does not refer to his father, Ashina Sheer, but to his mother, Princess Nanyang.

    "It's good if you think like this, the official will entrust you with an important task."

    "Please give me your orders."

    "The League's methods this time were somewhat brutal, but due to the helplessness of the workers, they rebelled many times, which made the League lose patience. But the Prairie League did not want it to become a desert. Lenovo, you led the Turkic tribes loyal to the imperial court to move to the grassland from Shuofang and other places.  . And the joint general will confer on you the post of Shanyu Daduhu, King of Dule."

    "Your Majesty, I don't dare," Daozhen said in fear as he lay down.

    The King of Dule was conferred with Dule Shen, which is equivalent to the prince.

    In the title of Tang Dynasty, the emperor's brothers and princes were all named princes.  The son of the crown prince is the king of the county.  The prince's son and direct descendant will be the heir king, and the sons will be the county princes. Those who have made great achievements will be granted the title of county prince.

    There is no one who can best reward meritorious officials than the Duke of the country.

    Only four or five Turkic khans, including Ji Li and Chu Luo, received this title among kings with different surnames.  They are also among the rare kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty so far.

    King Dule did not refer to the country, but it was equivalent to referring to the country, the Turkic country!

    So Ashina was really scared.

    It¡¯s still very clear who you are and what your abilities are.

    "Lian knows that the reward is too heavy, but your status is not important, and the tribes are not convinced. Lian gave you the title of Dule King, which not only gives you the qualifications and rights to manage the tribes, but also appeases people. Otherwise, the tribes who are loyal to us in the Tang Dynasty will see  If the Lian's actions are stopped, you will feel very uneasy and may cause bad things to happen. At the same time, you will move the ministries to the north. The task is difficult and you cannot accept this title. Moreover, the Lian will also implement the previous policies of the Tang Dynasty. If you encounter  In disaster years, the country will continue to provide some relief to various ministries. The federation will guide you on some policies, such as setting up customs markets, conducting transactions, and stocking up some food and materials to prepare for unexpected years. Of course, you must also implement some policies for the federation in the north.  The policy allows the people to learn the language and characters of the Central Plains and strengthen their affinity with the Central Plains. In the future, the United Nations will send special personnel to cultivate some cold-resistant grains. You also guide the people to cultivate in Duleshui and Jialunshui. From the lifestyle  Go up and get closer to the people of the Central Plains. Otherwise, differences in culture and lifestyle will always have centrifugal forces. Rebellion and rebellion are not good for them and not good for the Central Plains."

    The suppression was so severe that the number of Turkic people shrank by almost two-thirds.  If we move them to the north of Yinshan Mountain and do not provide some preferential policies, the people will be dissatisfied, even though they are awarded the title of King Daozhen Dule.

    After passing the Yinshan Mountains, the territory is vast, and a large amount of vacuum space has been opened, which is enough to contain many people. The Turks have not changed their living habits outside the customs in these years, and they can adapt.  But the most feared thing is the bad years, a severe cold, most livestock will freeze to death, restricting the reproduction of the people in the north.  The Huichun and other tribes have never been opponents of the Turks, because they cannot keep up with the number of workers. However, the Turks recovered quickly by taking advantage of the south of Yinshan Mountain.  Therefore, Tiele tribes have always lived under the influence of the Turks.

    The Khitans are powerful because they live in the north of Youzhou.  If the area south of Yinshan and Youzhou to Yingzhou is freed up, it will be of great significance.

    "But Nanhetao, Yunshuo"

    "The federation has concerns."

    "Here."

    The two discussed the matters that need to be paid attention to when moving.

    This is very important. If the people are disgusted, they may even kill Daozhen and start a rebellion again.  Then, he summoned the chiefs of each tribe for consultations, and also gave many wise policies, such as squeezing out some manors and fields for them to make money, and then rewarding some officials and titles, and freeing up some mansions in Chang'an.  If you are tired of staying in the desert, you can go back to Chang'an and enjoy it.  To win over, let these leaders become the link between the desert and the Central Plains and cooperate with Daozhen's work.

    Then the edict was issued, and the army gradually retreated from the desert and Yinshan Mountain.

    Li Wei also led tenThe 10,000-strong army returned to Yanmen Pass, but they were sent back home one after another. When they arrived in Luoyang, there were only more than 60,000 troops left.  In addition to the tens of thousands of troops brought from Luoyang, there were also 20,000 soldiers brought from Qinghai.

    After crossing the Yellow River, after walking not far, you can see the city of Luoyang.

    Looking at the Luoyang City Wall, which became increasingly clear on the horizon, Li Wei was filled with emotions. After more than ten years of hard work, at this moment, a hanging stone fell to the ground.

    There is emotion, expectation, and a sense of strangeness in my heart.

    Getting closer and closer, the army passed by, raising a cloud of dust
