    "Datou's idea is too beautiful." Yi Feng sneered a few times, "In my plan, Datou will only surrender and come to the capital to be a wealthy idler. He can do nothing and can't protect anything." Pei Shiju  Asked, "Does Your Majesty still want to send troops to the grassland?" "Of course, this year's Northern Expedition has not achieved full success. The war in western Liaoning is currently undecided. After regaining western Liaoning, the imperial court will launch another northern expedition to completely solve the grassland problem in one fell swoop." "Your Majesty,  The grassland cannot be cultivated, and even if it is occupied, it cannot be defended for a long time. It is not beneficial to send troops to the grassland. It is better to accept the surrender of the Turks, not only to avoid the burden of transporting grain and grass, but also to avoid the use of troops by His Majesty the Emperor.  "Divide and attack, unite the weak and separate the strong, so that the Turks will never be able to grow bigger. The imperial court will not only be protected from the threat of the Turks, but also avoid the cost of using troops," Pei Shiju advised.  Yi Feng flicked his elastic robe and said, "That being said, this strategy is not perfect. Otherwise, we would not have unified the Turks for the first time last year, and the imperial court has launched the Northern Expedition this year. The imperial court has no regard for the Turks or the grasslands.  We have to change our strategy. The grassland people have always surrendered when they were weak, and rebelled when they were strong. Now that the Turks have suffered a new defeat, and there is a Tiele rebellion, this is the best time for the imperial court to deal with the Turks and the grasslands once and for all. This time  If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Pei Shiju was a little surprised when he saw that Yi Feng had raised the use of troops against the Turks to such a high level. "Does your Majesty have a better strategy in mind to solve the grassland problem?" "Of course there is a way.  Yes, but my method must first defeat them before it can be implemented." Pei Shiju did not explain the new strategy when he saw the emperor.  At the moment, I had no choice but to refrain from asking.  But in his heart, he still didn't quite believe that the emperor had any omnipotent solution.  It can solve the grassland threat once and for all.  After all, he has been on many missions to the grasslands and knows the grasslands well.  He can claim to be among the top three officials in the DPRK and China.  He couldn't think of a better strategy to deal with the Turks than Emperor Wen, but when the emperor said so, he had no choice but to believe it.  "Originally, you have just come back, and I should have allowed you to spend more time with your family at home. But now I am not waiting for the time. I plan to wait until next autumn when the horses are fat, and immediately send troops to the Northern Expedition again. Therefore, there are still some diplomatic tasks that require you to do this  In a few days, you will go to the Western Regions again and bring my instructions to the Gaochang countries in the ancient region. Let the kings of the Western Regions come to the capital to attend the Zhengdan Dynasty next year and meet the Emperor of the Central Plains.  In addition, I also went to see Datou and asked him to come to the capital. Of course, if he doesn't want to come, forget it. Then I will send the generals to lead the troops and bring him directly to the capital. In addition, I have asked Chang Sun Sheng to lead him.  The mission went to Tiele, Mobei, and ordered them to prepare for a joint attack with us next autumn. "Pei Shiju couldn't help but ask after seeing that the emperor really wanted to send troops to the grassland, and it was going to be a big one.  "I wonder what your majesty has in mind. It can solve the grassland problem once and for all." "Actually, it's not worth a lot of money to tell you, but since you want to hear it so much, it doesn't hurt to tell you. But you must not reveal it." "My lord.  Keep your mouth shut," Pei Shiju said quickly.  Yifeng¡¯s plan to solve the grassland problem is actually quite simple. He just borrowed the old method of conquering the Mongolian grassland by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in later generations.  To conquer the grassland.  Of course, you have to defeat them first, otherwise.  Don't mention anything else.  Defeat was not enough. Many Central Plains dynasties defeated nomadic tribes on the grasslands. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty beat the Huns into great embarrassment and continued to retreat northward.  But in the end, the Han people did not really get rid of the Huns, let alone establish rule in the grasslands.  To put it bluntly, the grassland is completely unsuitable for growing food. If the Han people immigrate to the grassland, they will soon become a nomadic tribe. The nomadic lifestyle of living in pursuit of water and grass is not suitable for a farming people like the Han people and a settled people.  It is difficult for them to adapt, let alone establish rule. In the final analysis, the Han people's approach will not work on the grasslands.  In the end, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties succeeded in controlling the Mongolian grasslands. In the final analysis, they still used the Mongols to rule the Mongols. However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty won over and controlled the upper-class Mongolian nobles. They only needed to control the upper-class nobles, and then let the Mongolian nobles control Mongolia.  Herders control the entire Mongolian grassland.  There was no secret for the Manchus to control the Mongolian nobles. The first was to fight until the Mongols surrendered.  At the beginning, the Mongols also worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. They had been defeated by the Ming Dynasty long ago, and they were also bitter enemies with Hou Jinna.  But in the end, Hou Jin defeated the Mongols until they were called daddy.  Then, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties began to win over each other, first through marriage, and the Manchu emperors and princes Beile married the daughters of Mongolian nobles, and then the Manchu princesses were married to the Mongolian tribal leaders on the grasslands, and they married each other, shared benefits, and married.  When we get married, we naturally become a family.  Of course, if it is just a marriage, it does not completely guarantee control of the Mongolian grasslands.  The Manchu Qing Dynasty controlled the Mongolian grassland most severelyThe first move was to ennoble the Mongolian nobles, divide them into fiefs, and then stipulate that crossing the border was prohibited. The result was to divide a huge Mongolian grassland into relatively independent tribal territories, which made Mongolia  People were scattered into pieces and could not be integrated into a complete force. There was no longer a great khan who could command the entire grassland.  Once someone wants to cross the line and expand their strength, it will inevitably lead to joint suppression from other tribes and the Manchus.  This land-dividing system was also a good thing for the Mongolian nobles on the grasslands. They became nobles for generations, and their descendants inherited the territory, and they could even receive salaries from the Manchus.  Especially after the grasslands surrendered to the Manchus, the trade between the two sides strengthened. The Mongolian nobles could easily sell their output to merchants from outside the grasslands in exchange for a large amount of various materials they wanted, which could be done quite easily.  An extremely comfortable nobleman.  Especially after the Manchu monarch provided them with security and helped them prevent the invasion and plunder of the ambitious Mongolian nobles, they really lived a comfortable life, and no one wanted to go back to the past grasslands to tear each other apart.  Killing, it's an era when each tribe takes turns to dominate.  Of course, there were many other strategies that contributed to the Qing's control of the grasslands, such as the introduction of Buddhism and the establishment of Buddhist temples on the grasslands, which allowed the originally aggressive grassland people to believe in Buddhism and worship Buddhism, which slowly eroded their murderous will.  In short, the Manchu Qing's control of the grasslands was indeed the best among all ancient Chinese dynasties.  It was they who completely incorporated the grasslands outside the Central Plains into the system of the Central Plains dynasty.  Yi Feng didn't care about using the Manchu tactics. He first took advantage of the great opportunity to conquer the Turks, and then created a large enfeoffment, demarcated the fiefdom, prohibited cross-border crossing, and then strengthened the relationship with the grassland.  In short, trade allows those nobles to be pigs and live a comfortable and worry-free life. If this continues, the grassland will naturally become a pool of stagnant water, and it will be difficult to make any waves.  "First unite the countries in the Western Regions and Tiele to destroy Datou and Dulan, and then use the Turkic descendants to destroy Tiele, then reorganize the Western Regions, and finally bring the area south of Yinshan Mountain directly under the rule of the imperial court and establish prefectures and counties.  We can build cities, station troops, immigrate and cultivate fields, and push the border northwards. As for the wider grasslands in the east and west, we can return to the imperial court early, and then enfeoff the noble leaders who have served the imperial court one by one. I plan to enfeoff them into five classes.  Khan, Yehu, Teqin, Qijin, and Tutun will be named ten or eight khans, and then dozens of Yehu, hundreds of specialqins, hundreds of Qijin, and Tutun will be made to the grassland.  It is divided into hundreds or thousands of large and small territories, and most importantly, it is specially stipulated that the territories divided into five equal titles are mutual. Although Khan's territory is larger than Ye Hu's, the title is also higher than that of Ye Hu.  The territory is high, but the Khan cannot control Ye Hu's territory. Their territories are mutual, and the court has to specifically stipulate the number of soldiers and horses that each level of title can have, and it is strictly forbidden for each territory to cross the border, let alone invade other tribes.  If anyone violates the boundaries, the Sui Dynasty will send troops to unite all tribes to attack and destroy them, and the lords of each territory will be attacked from generation to generation, and will be ennobled and appointed by the Sui Emperor. The Sui Dynasty will ensure that their hereditary rights in the territory are sacred and inviolable.  If anyone dares to seize power, the Sui Dynasty will send troops to attack and return power to the legitimate heirs of the territory. Well, they will also spread Buddhism and Taoism to the grassland, build temples and Taoism, build schools, set up markets, and build roads in the grassland.  "Marriage" Pei Shiju's mouth opened wide. He never thought that the emperor's new strategy would be this way.  It sounds a bit too natural at first. Are the Turks willing to obey the emperor's canonization?  But when I think about it carefully, I find it very practical.  The premise is that the tribes on the grassland can really be conquered, but this does not seem to be a problem.  Now His Majesty the Emperor already has many great Turkic nobles such as Po Shi and Ni Li, some of whom are actually little khans.  Now there are more than 200,000 Turkic surrender troops serving His Majesty the Emperor in the Central Plains. These people are still waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to release them back to the grassland.  If His Majesty the Emperor allows these surrendered Turkic nobles to be driven back to the grasslands, and then promises to canonize them as khans, they will definitely be willing to fight back and fight with Datou and others.  Use these Turkic soldiers to join forces with Tiele to first destroy the old grassland forces such as Datou and Dulan, and then go back and wipe out the tribes like Tiele who want to stand on their own, and then the rest will be those who surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.  The Turkic nobles, when the emperor will confer fifth-class titles on them in the name of reward and merit, and then divide the territories, most of them will definitely be happy, and a few big nobles may be dissatisfied, but under the general trend, they will still  Is there room for resistance?  If they dare to resist, it will give the imperial court an opportunity to unite with other Turkic nobles to destroy them and divide their territories.  When all the dust settled, the grassland had been divided into pieces.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
