Volume 3 Taihang Mountain Chapter 810 Grassland Enfeoffment

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The five counties of Youjing and northern Liaoning have been decided.

    Zhao State has no worries about looking eastward. Although there are still many sporadic rebellions in the local area, they have not had enough impact on the overall situation.  Guo Xiaoke, who was known for his cruelty, took charge of Goguryeo and wiped out the remaining parties.  Li Chongjiu was very relieved.

    Goguryeo left it to him to rest peacefully.

    At this moment, a memorial was delivered directly from Zhongshu Province to Li Chongjiu¡¯s desk.  It turned out to be written by Sun Chuyue, who had made military exploits in Liyang before.

    Sun Chuyue objected in the memorial, and Li Chongjiu moved all the wealthy people of Goguryeo to the interior of Zhao.  Sun Chuyue said in the memorial that anyone who wants to destroy his country must first destroy his heart.  For Goguryeo's upper-class wealthy families, we should actually win over them, discover talents among them, and use them for our own purposes instead of expelling them from their hometowns.

    Li Chongjiu listened to Sun Chuyue's words and felt that it made sense. Since ancient times, in a country, it is not the lower class people who have lost hope in the country, but the upper class elites and intellectuals who have been dissatisfied with the country.  The same is true in today's society. The lowest class people are penniless, but they love the country, while the elites have earned a lot of wealth, but they think about going abroad all day long.

    Li Chongjiu followed the good example and felt that Sun Chuyue's memorial was correct, so he sent the memorial to Zhongshu for discussion.

    After the Turks broke through, the enfeoffment of the northern grasslands was not decided.  Now it is time to discuss the two matters together.

    After more than three months of discussions with various grassland ministries, Li Chongjiu finally decided to divide the grassland into three parts.  In the far west, the Zhengxi Grand Protectorate was established, which governed the grasslands north of Hetao. The generals of the Xi tribe, Yinghefu, were appointed as the Grand Protector, Ashina Momo was appointed as the Deputy Protector, and Liang Shidu was appointed.  Zhang Changxun was in charge of the party affairs and Ji Hu for the unified army.  Turks and Tiele tribes.

    And Bai Daoyin Mountain.  There is also the Cilechuan Grassland and Huaihuang Town, where the Baidao Protectorate was established, with Wang Junkuo as the Chief Protector, Tuli as the Deputy Protector, Borhan, Etuo, Yuan Junzhang, and Ashina Simo as the military commanders.  It mainly manages the five tribes of Xi tribe, Tujue, Bailin, Shiwei and Tiele tribes.

    As for Yuyi Town and Huoershen Grassland, it was the original Songmo Protectorate, which was renamed Zhengdong Protectorate because the original Protector-General Guo Xiaoke was transferred to Goguryeo.  Therefore, Li Chongjiu decided to promote Zhou Zhou to be the Protector-General of the Liaodong Protector-General, and Tu Diji to be the Deputy Protector-General, mainly in charge of Khitan and Goguryeo.  Mohe, Dingling tribes.

    In contrast, Zhouzhou¡¯s original Liaodong County has been pacified by Goguryeo.  It has become the hinterland of Zhao State, and its strategic status has dropped a lot.  Li Chongjiu transferred Sun Chuyue to Liaodong County as the county magistrate for some experience.

    In addition, Li Chongjiu also made Qibi Heli of Tiele Qibi tribe the British Duke.  As the spokesperson of Zhao State among the tribes of Mobei Tiele.  In this way, the enfeoffment of the grassland has been decided.

    Wen Yanbo and others all agreed, and Sun Chuyue used a large number of Turks.  Hu people are officials and the advice is to win people's hearts.  Ru Tuli, Ashina Momo, they were all the leading party in Zhao's eradication of Jieli.  For such a leading party, it is necessary to provide generous support and set an example for others.  At the same time, these leading parties cannot be the dominant one. The only way to balance is to stay there to check each other.

    As for the Turkic Khans that Tuli and Ashina asked him for, Li Chongjiu agreed to give them the title of Khan.  This is also a trick of power. You will be promoted to an official position, but you will not be given real power.  Tuli, Ashinamo was honored as Khan, but the tribes under Jieli's command were divided among various tribes.  Fortunately, Ashina only got a very small part of the cake.

    Tuli and Ashina Momo knew that Li Chongjiu was like this, but they still accepted the title of Khan. Neither of them was convinced by the other, and both regarded themselves as Khans.

    The same goes for the measures taken to deal with Goguryeo. The five counties in northern Liaoning were not willing to use Han officials. Li Chongjiu decided to select a group of people from the Goguryeo princes and ministers who had personally conquered Pyongyang prisoners.

    These people have been in Youjing for a long time, and apart from not being able to leave the city, they are quite free.  They witnessed the prosperity of Youjing and the strong national power of Zhao State, and they no longer felt any desire to resist.  Li Chongjiu selected pro-Zhao elements who admired Zhao culture and actively reformed. About thirty of these people were all commissioned.

    The highest one was the county magistrate, the lowest one was the chief official, and all of them were sent back to the five counties in northern Liaoning together with their families.

    In addition, Li Chongjiu also selected local Goguryeo wealthy families and asked them to send their children to Youjing Imperial College to study.  With the hostages in hand, Li Chongjiu also appointed these wealthy families to officials.  These actions of Li Chongjiu made the local rebels in Goguryeo much less vulnerable to Zhao.  However, successive civil uprisings continued until the reform more than 20 years ago.

    It was smooth sailing on the grassland and was generally peaceful. The remaining parties loyal to Jieli also perished one after another under Yinghefer's pursuit.

    Now Li Chongjiu is waiting for news about the three armies attacking Li Tang and the battle against Lin Shihong in the south.  However, Cao Wen's urgent report from Chang'an made Li?9 was a little unexpected.

    Because Li Shimin¡¯s affair with Yang Wen was exposed, he ventured to the Xuanwu Gate to remonstrate with his troops, killed Li Tang¡¯s crown prince Li Jiancheng, and led his army to surround the Taiji Palace, forcing Li Yuan to pass the crown prince¡¯s position to him.  The Xuanwu Gate Incident in history still happened by such a strange combination of circumstances.

    Li Shimin, Li Chongjiu's most feared rival, still ascended to the position of crown prince of Li Tang. It doesn't matter whether he forced Li Yuan to abdicate or not.  Now Li Shimin has stepped onto the stage and faces Li Chongjiu directly.

    It seems that the final battle is still indispensable.  Li Chongjiu put the report aside and pondered alone.

    Zhao State is now stronger than Li Tang in terms of economy, national strength, and military strength. However, because of its rapid expansion in recent years, there are also many internal dangers.  Judging from Cao Wen's intelligence, Li Yuan not only did not get angry at Li Shimin during Li Shimin's military remonstrance, but he also personally expressed his intention to establish Li Shimin as crown prince to Li Tang's clan and officials.

    After Li Chongjiu heard about it, he was deeply impressed by Li Yuan's sophistication. This is what a mature politician would do. Since Li Jiancheng is dead, there is only one way forward.  If Li Yuan opposes Li Shimin at this time, it will inevitably cause further internal divisions in Li Tang, and the internal strife will directly lead to civil war. At that time, Li Chongjiu will be able to destroy Li Tang without any effort.

    Therefore, Li Yuan had no intention of settling scores with Li Shimin. Instead, he stood up and strongly supported Li Shimin.  Helping Li Shimin overcome the most difficult hurdle at the moment, Li Tang did not fall into division because Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng, but because of the prestige accumulated by Li Yuan and Li Shimin's outstanding talents, a temporarily stable phenomenon was maintained.

    Although Li Chongjiu knew that Li Yuan had strongly turned to support Li Shimin, the cracks must exist.  Even if Li Yuan does not oppose Li Chongjiu, there are people in Li Tang who support Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Aren't they afraid of being squeezed out by Li Shimin?

    And these people are what Li Chongjiu wants to use.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
