    There is no need to worry about the war!

    How many emperors have been able to do this throughout the ages?  It is a pity that even Taigong, the author of the "Six Tao", who was regarded by emperors of all dynasties as the leader in leading the army and governing the country, could not do this!

    With 200,000 strong troops mobilized, it was actually possible to achieve this without levying a single cent of the civilian population, without corv¨¦es, or laborers. This did not affect the people's farming life at all, and even Hebei, the place where the first battle was fought, was not affected at all.  , the people did not suffer any losses due to such a war. On the contrary, many poor households received a lot of tools, money and food because of this war!

    Except for the materials donated by the wealthy households, which were used to keep out the cold and were distributed to the poor who organized themselves to transport materials, the Tang army had hardly used the rest. The soldiers of the Tang army basically did not need much food and grass. Each soldier carried a heavy load on his own horse.  Bring a few kilograms of marching cakes, one or two kilograms of amber sugar, and a few cans. A hundred kilograms of bran, a by-product of brewing amber sugar, is enough. The bran is a spare, except in the early marching process.  In addition to using some horse food during the battle, the rest of the time was to feed the horses directly with the food and grass from the hunting area. Rice, wheat, etc. were also cooked from local materials for the soldiers to eat.

    Even Goguryeo did not suffer much damage because the war was burning there. Of course, the damage here refers to the damage to agriculture and forestry, as well as the loss of merchants and shops. Regardless of the death or injury of the Goguryeo people, they will be forcibly dispersed to  Throughout the Tang Dynasty, ordinary Goguryeo people did not need to be slaves, but they could no longer farm, fish and hunt here.

    To completely erase the word Goguryeo, we must cut off its roots.  Integrating them into the Chinese people, learning Chinese characters, speaking Chinese, and performing Chinese rituals like the Central Plains people, there is no privilege at all, and they will not be taken care of because they belong to a special tribe. This is Wang Kuang  A principle that has always been adhered to.  Any tribal writing must be abolished, and any tribal etiquette must be abolished.  It must be on the premise that it does not violate the basic etiquette of the entire Chinese community. You can have dialects, but you are not allowed to have written characters.  You can have your own distinctive costumes, but you must be the same as others on important occasions. You can have your own system, but it must be based on not violating the Laws of the Tang Dynasty.

    If the culture of this tribe needs to be protected, and the culture of that tribe needs to be protected, then how could there be a Chinese tribe?  Even the Han people came from the long-term integration of various major tribes. The prerequisite is that the books and the cars are on the same track.  If the First Emperor had also come up with some minority policy and considered this and that, the land of China would be in ruins today.  We will always be surrounded by war.  Only when everyone speaks the same words and observes the same etiquette can we have a sense of identity with China and achieve true national integration.

    Similarly, the situation of Silla and Baekje is almost the same. Since the King of Silla did not want to betray the imperial court, he was still the king, but he was no longer the King of Silla, but an idle king. Except for Silla and Baekje, other places were left to his own devices.  He chooses his own place to live.  King Baekje's fate was not so good.  For the rest of his life, he could only stay with the King of Goguryeo and be his slave.

    Different from the Tang Dynasty, the people of Goguryeo and Baekje, Silla, did not have much identification with their king. They were not as happy as the people of the Tang Dynasty. They had a monarch who always considered the needs of the people first. For them,  For example, it doesn¡¯t matter who becomes the emperor, just accept whoever you get along with better. In fact, these three countries are actually still in a period of slave society. All the people are the slaves of the king. If you want a slave, you can  Loyal?  Disaster!

    Therefore, the great migration of the people of the Three Kingdoms did not trigger any resistance. On the contrary, when they heard that they could settle in various places in the Central Plains, they could be like the Central Plains people, and each labor force had ten to fifteen acres of permanent land.  Moreover, the local government will appoint farmers who are good at farming to teach them new farming methods. After the yield per mu can be greatly increased, most people are extremely happy. They dare not even think about such a day.  , now that the Tang Dynasty court is here, they can live a good life immediately and be like those Tang people they envied so much before. How can they not be happy with such an ending?

    For the very small number of people who were unwilling to migrate, the court did not force them. The same people could receive Yongye Field, and the same people could open up wasteland on their own. They were treated the same as those in the Central Plains. If a few people stayed, it would not have any impact.  After a large number of people migrated here and were submerged by the overwhelming Chinese culture, no matter how much a few people thought about thinning their roots, it was simply impossible.

    As for the people of the Central Plains, those who are willing to migrate to the newly conquered territory will have great discounts. They will be tax-free and free of corvee for ten years. This alone is very attractive, so there is no shortage of people going to the Central Plains. And what about the people of Hebei?  , they also received five years of tax exemption and five years of half tax, because the court said that the people of Hebei had spent a lot of money resisting foreign enemies in the north for a hundred years. Now that the north is stable, it is time to compensate them, and the north will no longer  There are no external enemies, it can be said that the entireMost of the garrison on the other side can be eliminated, leaving only a few town troops. In this way, the burden will be reduced a lot. We might as well just distribute the reduced burden directly to the people, so that everyone can take a breath and work hard.  To cultivate one's health.

    Among the six imperial edicts, except Nanzhao, who had different intentions, the other five imperial edicts all sincerely joined. Now that Nanzhao has been destroyed, only half of the Nanzhao people are left. Therefore, there is no big migration, but the Nanzhao people are scattered.  In order to be merged into the Wuzhao land, the entire Liuzhao people can choose where to settle according to their own volition, and the people of the Central Plains will also begin to strengthen contacts with the Liuzhao people under the guidance of favorable policies. This is a gentle integration.  The process was also the only one among the many territories that the Tang Dynasty conquered in this year. Originally, the Liuzhao people did not have their own writing, and all used Chinese characters. After the exchanges between people became more frequent, the integration  It's just a matter of time.

    The situation in Tubo is similar to that of Goguryeo. They were originally a more primitive slave society than Goguryeo. Now that Tubo surrendered, the serfs were either assigned their own land or their own livestock, and they could move freely.  Many people chose to go to Sichuan and Sichuan. Nomads in Sichuan, Sichuan and Qinghai and the Western Regions were also guided by preferential policies and began to migrate to Tubo.

    The leading nobles of the five tribes of Tubo, long after Qin Huaiyu killed Zanpu, falsely conveyed Zanpu's will and were summoned to Luoxue to capture them all. The five tribes lived at different distances and arrived at different times.  It is easy to capture a leader of more than a hundred people, otherwise it would not have been possible for them to surrender so quickly.  With their lives in the hands of the Tang army, who among the slaves would care about where they belong?  It's good to be able to save one life, and it's just a change of residence. Although they no longer have large areas of land and expansion, the wealth of the Central Plains, and with their wealth, as long as they manage it carefully, their lives will never be better than in their own tribe.  What a difference, you know, a glass bottle that only sells for a few hundred guan in Chang'an costs thousands of guan in Tubo, and a can that costs dozens of guan costs several guan. In comparison,  In the Central Plains, even if the income drops sharply ten times, it will be much more comfortable than in the bitter cold of the plateau.

    In the three major battles, in addition to the 200,000 soldiers used to deal with Goguryeo and Silla Baekje, only a few hundred soldiers were used to deal with Nanzhao and Tubo. The threats in the northern and southwestern parts of the Tang Dynasty were eliminated, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were  The casualties were only over 10,000. If the injured were deducted, only a few thousand people were actually killed, and it did not affect the people's livelihood at all. Such a result is not unsplendid. It can be said that it is unprecedented, and no one will dare to do so.  He said it, but Wang Kuang knew that it would be absolutely certain that there would be no successor.

    After all, the farther west you go, the less influenced you are by the culture of the Central Plains, and your identification with the Central Plains is not that great, and you may even reject it. You must know that races are different, and Westerners are most particular about race.  They are not as broad-minded as China and can be inclusive. Not to mention race, they have to clearly distinguish the branches of the same race.  Where is China like this?  The composition of the Chinese nation can be said to be all-encompassing, and the main body includes the Qiang people (when it comes to the Qiang people, the gray bird can't help but laugh three times. The beast doesn't know whether it was kicked in the head by a donkey, but he actually said "Huaxia"  Humans are descended from the Qiang people. The descendants of the dragon should be changed to the descendants of the sheep. This is really ridiculous. There are Qiang people in the blood composition of the Han nationality, but they are only a minority among the many ethnic groups.  It¡¯s just one branch. The Qiang people have always existed, but only part of them have been integrated into the Han people. It can be said that the Han people themselves are a large nation that tolerates many bloodlines, especially the people of the last hundred years.  Do you dare to call it a beast? You should call it a donkey instead!), there are Huns, Chu people, Yue people, Wu people, Qi people, Yan people, etc. If you count them in detail, you can at least list them  More than twenty.

    Under such a premise, it is impossible to achieve a war without war in the future battles against the Westerners, but it is still possible to achieve a war without war in a narrow sense. The war is not burning on the territory of the Tang Dynasty.  But in the west, it was unlucky for the Westerners to suffer. They met Wang Kuang and Li Shimin, an emperor who could almost be said to love his people as his own son. On the Tang side, those who suffered were only soldiers, although death was inevitable.  , it will also make people feel sad, but for the unification of the world, in order to have a stable living and production environment, and in order not to suffer greater humiliation more than a thousand years later, such sacrifices are necessary and worth it.

    But no matter what, Li Shimin's reputation has reached its peak. Some people have begun to call the emperor a saint king, comparing him with Emperor Xuanyuan and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Some people even question, do the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have such great achievements as today's saints?  The saints should be ranked before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.  .  ¡ª¡ª
