    Chapter 64

    Give generous gifts to the people

    Yang Yuanqing has actually carefully considered the issue of resettlement of the Turks. He is more in favor of Cui Junsu's plan to disperse them and resettle them in various places in the Central Plains.  text/text

    As long as two generations undergo Chinese education and marry each other, they will gradually regard themselves as members of the Han people. In fact, the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties were a process of great national integration.

    As for repeating the mistakes of the Six Towns Mutiny, Yang Yuanqing feels that it can be completely avoided. The key is not to exploit these inward-migrating herdsmen, give them the same land, the same taxes, and teach them to farm.

    ¡°The word ¡®equality¡¯ is actually the key to solving national problems. Blindly tending to please or blindly exploiting is not the solution.

    Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing had a plan in mind, and said to Du Ruhui and Cui Junsu: "I also prefer to resettle them inland to enrich the population. As for the mistakes of the Six Towns Rebellion, I think as long as we learn from the past, we can avoid this.  It can be fully considered by Ziwei Pavilion, but the principle should be decided first and placed in the mainland."

    Now that Yang Yuanqing has made a decision, Du Ruhui and Cui Junsu have nothing to say about the resettlement issue. They also believe that Yang Yuanqing has thought deeply about the matter.

    At this time, a soldier at the door reported: "Your Highness, the chief of Huihe has arrived outside the camp gate to apologize to Your Highness!"

    This surprised Yang Yuanqing. Peisa actually came to plead guilty outside the camp gate. He nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "Everyone, come with me!"

    Everyone stood up one after another and followed Yang Yuanqing towards the camp gate.  .  .  .  .  .

    Outside the camp, Pei Sa, the chief of Uihe, led his wife and dozens of Uihe nobles to kneel all over the place. This time Pei Sa followed Li Jing southward with only more than 2,000 soldiers to protect him. He ordered his three sons to take control of the Uihe army respectively. Once  If something unexpected happens to him, his eldest son will succeed him as the chief of Uihe.

    The reason why Pesa asked for forgiveness was that during the Sui-Turkish War, he also sent 40,000 troops to follow the Turkic army to invade south. Although his army was defeated in the end, he became an enemy of the Sui army after all. Even if he assisted the Sui army this time, it was finally destroyed.  Turks have made meritorious deeds to atone their sins, but the last part of the public case must be settled.

    At this time, the gate of the Sui Army's military camp slowly opened, and groups of soldiers holding spears and knives quickly walked out of the camp and lined up on both sides. Then Yang Yuanqing appeared at the gate of the camp surrounded by civilians and military generals.

    Although it was the first time for Pesa to meet Yang Yuanqing, no introduction was needed. There was only one person in the Sui army who could wear a golden helmet.

    Peisa knelt and walked forward, prostrated and bowed, "Pei Sa of Huihe does not know the power of heaven and has offended the Sui Dynasty. I am here to apologize!"

    Yang Yuanqing quickly helped him up and said very sincerely: "Let the past go by. The key is that we must focus on the future. Chief Pei is willing to come to Mayi County in person, which shows the sincerity of the Uighurs. I believe that the Sui Dynasty and the Uighurs will definitely  There will be a brotherly love.¡±

    Yang Yuanqing spoke proficient Turkic, and the sincerity in his tone moved Pei Sa a little. He turned around and shouted: "Give me the gift for His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

    Several men brought over a dozen war horses. Each war horse was strong and majestic, with slender limbs and pure coat color. One war horse had a long neigh and its front hooves leaped high, like a dragon in the sea. Yang Yuanqing's eyes lit up and he got up.  He patted the war horses in front of him. As expected, they were all outstanding horses, which made him marvel.

    "Thank you for the gift, chief, please! Let's go to the camp to drink and talk in detail."

    Yang Yuanqing handed over the horse to his men, but Cheng Yaojin slowly stepped forward. He patted a black war horse, as if he had a tacit understanding, and the war horse also nuzzled him with its mouth, which made Cheng Yaojin extremely happy.  He smiled at the soldiers at the top of his lungs and said: "This old black horse is as black as old Cheng. Do you think he looks like my brother?"

    After saying that, he glanced at Yang Yuanqing expectantly.

    Yang Yuanqing saw his expectation, but smiled faintly and was too lazy to pay attention to him. This bastard likes everything he sees. He doesn't show his military exploits and rests to get this war horse.

    Yang Yuanqing led the Huihe nobles into the Sui Army camp. In fact, Pei Sa and Li Jing went south together and had entered the Sui Army camp more than once. He was very familiar with everything around him. However, entering the camp with Yang Yuanqing today was a different experience.  a feeling.

    Pesa was very nervous and didn¡¯t know what he was doing.

    Pesa was very realistic about whether what he wanted could be obtained. He hoped that the Uighurs could unify the grasslands with the support of the Sui Dynasty and replace the Turks as the new overlord of the grasslands.

    If this target is ten feet away, then he has already walked six feet. There are powerful tribes such as Xue Yantuo, Xigasi, Dubo and so on in front of him.

    But the biggest obstacle is Xue Yantuo. Once Xue Yantuo is defeated and annexed, Uighur's strength will be reduced.If he is the number one in the grassland, Xiugasi and Dubodu will naturally surrender to him.

    However, it is not impossible to defeat Xue Yantuo by Huihe alone, but it will require a huge price and a long time. It will take at least three to five years to completely destroy Xue Yantuo. But if the Sui army helps  , then it will only take a few months to achieve.

    But both Li Jing and Cui Junsu were very ambiguous and refused to express their opinions at all. Pei Sa then understood that only Yang Yuanqing could make the decision, so he had been looking forward to today's meeting for a long time.

    Yang Yuanqing invited Pei Sa and dozens of Uighur nobles into the big tent. Each side sat on one side, and two horned warriors performed sumo wrestling in the middle of the big tent. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. At this time, the soldiers  Plates of fruits and roasted beef and mutton were brought up, as were pots of fine wine.

    Yang Yuanqing picked up the wine bottle and stood up with a smile: "It's great to have friends from far away. Our distinguished prairie guests have come to Mayi County. To welcome their arrival, I suggest that everyone drink this cup first!"

    He drank all the wine in the bottle, and everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine. Yang Yuanqing filled up another bottle of wine and said to Peisa and the nobles in Turkic language: "This attack on the Turks has won the support of Huihe.  Support, and in return, the Sui Dynasty will also support the Uighurs to unify the grasslands and fight against the eastward expansion of the Western Turks."

    Pesa was overjoyed. Yang Yuanqing's statement gave him a glimmer of hope, but Yang Yuanqing changed the subject and said slowly: "But the chief should know that the situation in the Central Plains has now reached the most critical moment. The decisive battle between the Sui and Tang Dynasties is imminent. I'm afraid we will also  We have no time to take care of the grassland, so we can only ask the chief to understand the Sui army¡¯s difficulties and wait patiently.¡±

    The smile on Pesa's face instantly turned a little bitter, and Yang Yuanqing implicitly told him that this time the Sui army would not be able to go north to the grassland again.

    The reason why Peisa followed Li Jing's army south was actually to persuade the Sui army to take advantage of this opportunity to annihilate the Turks, and the two sides joined forces to annihilate Xue Yantuo before summer came. However, Yang Yuanqing's statement completely disappointed him.

    "Your Highness, I can understand the war that the Sui army is about to face, but we are also very worried that once Xue Yantuo colludes with the Western Turks, the Western Turks will most likely return to the grassland very quickly. At that time, the Tiele tribes in the grassland will probably be invaded by the Western Turks again.  I hope Your Highness can understand our urgent mood."

    Yang Yuanqing laughed and said, "Please don't worry, great chief. The Sogdians and Persians in the West are erupting in an uprising against the Western Turks with great momentum. The Western Turks will not have time to pay attention to the east in a year or two. Even if the Xueyantuo people intend to collude with the Western Turks, they will not be able to do so."  The Western Turks cannot send troops to advance eastward."

    Yang Yuanqing did not deceive Peisa. He had always been puzzled. Why did he suddenly give up the eastward advance when the 100,000 Western Turkic army had already overwhelmed Yiwu County.

    You must know that the Sui army has withdrawn from Yiwu County, and Yiwu County is already within easy reach of the Western Turks. Under such circumstances, the Western Turks gave up their eastward march to Yiwu County, which can only mean that something big has happened within the Western Turks.

    Sure enough, Hu merchants from the Western Regions brought them exact news. To the west of Congling, from Suiye City to the Amu Darya River, dozens of Persians, Sogdians, and Tocharians were conquered by the Western Turks.  Uprisings against the enslavement of the Western Turks broke out in various countries. The uprising surged, killing Western Turkic Tuton officials and attacking Turkic troops. The Western Turks were devastated. They had to withdraw all their troops from the east and turn around to suppress the uprising in the west.  .

    Pesa was startled and asked quickly: "Your Highness, is this true?"

    Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly, "Am I still going to lie to you?"

    Pesa was immediately overjoyed. He had actually been worried that the Western Turks would take advantage of the Eastern Turks' demise to march into the grassland. At that time, the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo would join forces, and the Uighurs would undoubtedly be defeated. Yang Yuanqing's news made him overjoyed. He raised his glass and said with a smile:  "Let's drink this cup for this great news."

    In the night, Yang Yuanqing and Du Ruhui rode slowly in the camp. The Sui army's camp occupied a very wide area. The north side was where the sheep and horse pens were located. More than 20 million cattle, sheep and horses were kept beside Qifubo.  The endless grassland in the north is guarded by more than 10,000 Sui soldiers.

    "Does Your Highness really intend to assist the Uighurs in annihilating Xue Yantuo?" Du Ruhui asked with some worry. He was worried that the Uighurs would become powerful and become the second largest Turk.

    Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs are mortal enemies. They are similar in strength. It is difficult for anyone to destroy the other. Let them kill each other. Let us not interfere for the time being. When the strength of both sides is almost weakened, then  Let¡¯s take advantage of the situation again and wipe out the two Tiele tribes in one fell swoop, leaving many tribes on the grassland completely in ruins.¡±

    Du Ruhui was refreshed. If this was the case, his worries would not come true. He quickly asked: "Has your HighnessHave you considered taking the opportunity to occupy the grassland?  "

    "To be honest, I have considered it."

    Yang Yuanqing smiled and said: "It's just that our population is not enough. Before the national strength is fully restored to the founding emperor's heyday, we can only build castles and garrison on the grassland. After twenty or thirty years of recuperation, the national strength is fully restored. Then the Mobei Grassland  It will be merged into our territory of the Great Sui, not only Mobei, but also the west. It is also my dream to destroy the Western Turks and expand the territory of the Great Sui to the west. I hope I can see this day in my lifetime."

    Speaking of this, Yang Yuanqing sighed deeply. This was his dream. He would do better and be stronger than the Tang Dynasty in history.

    "Your Highness!"

    At this time, a dozen officials galloped forward on horseback. They were the court officials who had followed Du Ruhui to take over the cattle and sheep. All the officials saluted together on their horses, "See you, Your Highness!"

    "Thank you for your hard work. Starting from tomorrow, all cattle, sheep and horses will go south to Taiyuan. I hope you will continue to work hard."

    Du Ruhui was stunned and said quickly: "Your Highness, if all these cattle and sheep are handed over to the imperial court, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to bear them."

    Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "There is no need for the imperial court to keep them in captivity, as long as the imperial court distributes them."

    Seeing that everyone didn¡¯t quite understand, he slowly said: ¡°In the past,

    iThe people of the Han Dynasty actively donated money to fully support the Han army in the western expedition against the Huns. However, when the Han army returned in triumph, they also brought back tens of millions of cattle, sheep, horses and other trophies, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty refused to distribute them to the people of the world.  They would rather rot to death and cause public resentment. When the late Emperor Yang Guang visited the north, various tribes in the grassland Tiele also contributed tens of millions of cattle and sheep. Unfortunately, most of them died and were buried, which was an astonishing waste. We must learn from these lessons. I  It was decided to give all these cattle and sheep to the people of the Sui Dynasty. No matter whether it was the south or the north, whether it was the Han people or the border barbarians, every household would have a share. It should be regarded as a generous gift from me, Yang Yuanqing, to the people of the world.  "
