Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 364
There is no benevolence and righteousness in business!
Qin Lang didn't turn his back on him. Since Ge Leng had so many concerns, he couldn't force him to raise the flag to revolt.

However, Ge Leng is also a wonderful person. He has many scruples and dare not overturn the table of the Western Turks, but he wants to get on the boat of Datang, and wants to use the banner of Datang to suppress the Turks to protect himself.

"Yi Guogong, I was really shocked by the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty when I came to Chang'an to congratulate the emperor. The Tang Dynasty is really majestic and mighty, and the emperor is a hero. I am very yearning for the princess to be married to you!"

Qin Lang looked at Ge Leng, at this age, his head was full of frost and snow, although the veteran warrior who ate beef and mutton still had muscles in his arms, he was a little too old at this age.

Still want old cows to grow tender grass?
What's more, Datang bestowed marriages to Qin Guozhong, Li Simo, and Li Sili, which is equivalent to recruiting a door-to-door son-in-law, not marrying a daughter with his own.

This is fundamentally different. The son-in-law recruited at the door, no matter what his status was before, will be the Tang family in the future.

"Goleng Teqin, since the emperor of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, I have set a rule, that is, no marriage, no land, no compensation, no surrender. Never promised and kissed."

"Duke Yi, we really admire Datang and want to get married."

"I really admire Datang and there are many other opportunities."

Ge Leng didn't want to offend the Western Turkic people, and he didn't want to lose Datang's thigh, so he proposed marriage there with nice words.

"So, when I saw Gelen Teqin that day, your grandson is very majestic and majestic. I don't know what his name is?"

"It's Qibi Heli!"

This is his favorite eldest grandson, the eagle on the prairie, mighty and brave, he is the future leader of their tribe.

"What do you think, why don't you let Lingsun stay in Chang'an and join Qianniuwei as a bodyguard to protect the emperor?"

Ge Leng hesitated.

"Young eagles on the grassland should broaden their horizons. Staying in Chang'an to serve the emperor can also increase their knowledge. Not to mention, Ling Sun's mighty and majestic appearance, maybe one day His Majesty is happy, and may give a The county lord is getting married, isn't it a good thing?"

Ge Leng hesitated, but He Li was the eldest grandson, the best young man in the tribe, and the future leader.

"Can you let my second grandson Shamen stay in Chang'an to serve the emperor, he is also a very brave young man!"

"Secret Service, how can we bargain for this matter!"

Datang wants He Li to stay, of course, mainly as a hostage, so as to contact the Qibi Department, the identity of the eldest grandson is of course more valuable, and the second grandson is not good.

On the same day, Ge Leng handed over his eldest grandson Qibi Heli, who was escorting him to Chang'an, to Qin Lang, and he took him to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin asked Ge Leng to sit on his couch and talk.

In the end, he took him to the imperial garden to shoot arrows and ride horses. The emperor was very pleased with this warrior of the Qibi tribe.

"To General Zuo Xiaowei, to Duke Guzang, and to Wenxi, niece of the Marriage Emperor! The first seat in Chang'an!"

·······
"This Qibi Gelen is an old fox, he won't easily change his flag and name to join Datang! The chaotic situation in the Western Regions is a good opportunity for us to restore the Western Regions, what a pity." Li Shimin sighed.

Qin Lang didn't take it seriously.

"Your Majesty, it's better to let them mess up the Western Regions for the time being. We can deal with the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan with all our strength first. It is not suitable to fight on both sides. Although Ge Leng refused to stand on his own, he showed his loyalty to Tang Dynasty and stayed behind. Eldest grandson, this can be regarded as a chess game, when the time comes in the future, Qibibu's chess game will be of great use."

Li Shimin took a sip of tea.

"How did Yi Nan plan?"

"Yi Nan hesitated because of Ge's stunned attitude, but I think he is already moved. Back then, Yi Shibo led [-] tents to move from Jinshan to Yudu Junshan. Now Yinan leads [-] tents. They are powerful and powerful, and they are the most powerful among the tribes of Tiele in the east. His grandfather’s prestige is still there, and he is still the one who has lost his ears among the tribes of Tiele in Mobei!"

Yi men are young and relatively strong, so this kind of young man is very ambitious. Whenever he has the opportunity, he wants to get rid of others and become the boss.

After Tong Yehu's death, he was even more unwilling to be Mo Hedu or Si Yehu's younger brother, and he was unwilling to surrender to the East Turkic who had the hatred of killing his father.

Ge Leng is old, lacks ambition, seeks stability, and dare not win easily, but Yi Nan is young and energetic, and his eyes are always burning with the fire of ambition.

"Your Majesty, I think that since Ge Leng is old, it is better to confer the name of Yinan as Tie Le Da Khan, and let him build teeth in the old Khan court of the Turks. Power, and secondly, the possibility of Tietu alliance can be differentiated."

Of course, the most important thing is to make it impossible for Jieli to retreat.

Start by lighting a fire in his backyard, so that Jieli will have no chance to return to Mobei, and he will not be given a chance to make a comeback in Mobei Khan Court.

Use barbarians to control barbarians.

The land of Mobei is too far away, and it is not convenient for the Tang army to send troops to the Northern Expedition.

So simply let Tie Le and the Turks fight in Mobei, Datang only needs to concentrate on dealing with Jieli Khan in Monan.

"I have another strategy, which can destroy Jieli's last hope, that is, canonize Tuli Little Khan as Turkic Great Khan, and let him replace Jieli. In this way, the uncle and nephew will fight each other, and Jieli's last reinforcements will be wiped out. , the reinforcements have become enemies!"

Shibobi, the little Tuli Khan, was the son of Shibi Khan. Because of his young age, his uncle Tilif set up the throne as Chuluo Khan, and after he was executed, he was succeeded by his third uncle Tubi. For Jieli Khan.

Originally, the Turkic Khan succession system was that the father died and the son succeeded, and the brother finally reached the brother. It means that the elders do not establish the young, and brothers, nephews and even uncles have the opportunity to inherit the Khan.

Tuli's Khan succession order is very high, but it is a pity that he has not been able to inherit it. Although he is established as a small khan and manages the Khitan and other tribes in the Turkic East, he has been suppressed by Xieli, especially when he came to Chang'an last year. However, after Datang came up with a divorce plan, the relationship between uncle and nephew became even more tense, and it has not eased up to now.

The Central Plains has never stopped the strategy of dividing and dissociating the grasslands, but the people of the grasslands have always followed this pattern.

"But Datang just reached a new covenant with Xieli!" Li Shimin was a little scrupulous and wanted to show his face.

"Your Majesty, there are several covenants reached between the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic people, but which one did the Turkic people abide by? Right now, he is taking advantage of his illness to kill him. You must not have the kindness of a woman, and you cannot learn from Song Xianggong!"

Between countries, the so-called peace agreements are actually just an agreement based on equal strength. Once the balance of power is broken, these agreements are actually not as effective as a piece of paper.

"Will Tuli agree?"

"Your Majesty, it's best if you agree. It's okay to attack Xieli from both sides. Even if you don't agree, it doesn't matter. We can be fair and aboveboard, even with great fanfare. Not accepting is another matter, even if he does not accept, will Xieli believe him? They are already suspicious of each other, but now that the edict is issued, it is even less likely that Xieli will believe him!"

"What about the Western Turks?"

Li Shimin asked again.

After the death of Tong Yehu, the Western Turks are now very chaotic. The left and right five sides each support a sweat, and the right five sides even have different opinions, which is a mess.

"Your Majesty, this is easy to solve. Let's go east and west first, so we don't really need to pay attention to them for the time being. The minister suggested that Khan Moheduo and Khan Siyehu should be bestowed with banners and canonized as Khans respectively, so that they can be designated as khans." The land is separated, with the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary, the Siyehu Khan and the Wunushibi tribe on the right side govern the land to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Moheduo Khan and the Wudulu tribe on the left side govern the land to the south of the Tianshan Mountains .”

Qin Lang is very bad.

It doesn't matter whether your uncle murdered your nephew and usurped the throne as a great khan, or the son of Ye Hu, who was supported by the five divisions of the right wing, became a great khan. We, Tang Dynasty, don't care about these, but only admit to both great khans.

I don't care if you are a Western Turk or not, we only recognize the actual two khans.

In this way, you continue to fight yours, and the more chaotic the fight, the better. Anyway, it will not affect the relationship between Datang and the Western Regions.

As for who can defeat the opponent in the future and become the only sweat, we will talk about it at that time.

The status of the suzerain country will ultimately be realized by victory in the war, but now it does not prevent Datang from taking advantage of the momentum created by this great dynasty, and playing a little tricky.

Sometimes, although this method is also based on real military strength, it can also exert an effect far superior to thousands of troops.

After all, the strength of a big country lies there, and sometimes it can force the other side to submit if it is not provoked.

This is the true strength of a great power.

First encircle and suppress Jieli, regain control of the entire Monan, and slowly plan the rest.

Li Shimin liked Qin Lang's ghost ideas very much, "Pei Ju actually offered similar strategies to me before. These are the strategies he offered to Yang Guang back then. Yang Guang used his strategies back then, and they were somewhat effective. , broke through Tuyuhun, opened the four counties in Haixi, it's a pity that Yang Guang was defeated early, otherwise the Western Regions might really have been reproduced by him as the Han Family's Protectorate."

The emperor gave Qin Lang a new errand.

"You are responsible for picking an empty square in Chang'an, presiding over the construction of a number of mansions, as a reward for the residence of the Tibetans who came here this time."

Li Shimin demanded that the building be built in such a grand manner that it must not lose Datang's face.

Qin Lang immediately objected, "Your Majesty, I thought it would be good to give them a piece of land. As for these people who want a mansion, I can find someone to help them build it, but there will be a fee. I can't just pay for the face and pay for the inside. The Fan people are all very rich, and they don’t lack this kind of money.”

Li Shimin had a headache, "There's no need for the imperial court to worry about these things, if it doesn't work, just withdraw money from my internal treasury."

"Your Majesty, it's not a matter of money or not. It's that things can't be done this way, or you'll start a bad start. It's true that you should treat these people preferentially, but there must be a bottom line. Your Majesty grants marriages and Isn't it enough to grant a surname, reward a title and make an official?"

Qin Lang suggested that two squares could be marked out on the edge of the West Market, and the original square area occupied by Buddhist temples should be re-planned to build a square area with both Hu and Yi characteristics and inclusiveness. This square area will be developed into a commercial square area. Like Pingkangfang, it integrates the high-end residences of Hu Yi and the characteristic commercial district of Hu Yi, which is convenient for centralized monitoring and management of these attached barbarians, and can also engage in characteristic businesses, such as Hu Yi merchants, what Hu Ji barbarians Girl, you can do whatever you want to eat.

It can not only enrich the quality of life of the residents of Chang'an, but also broaden their horizons and exchange cultures between the East and the West. By the way, the imperial court can also make a fortune by selling houses, renting out shops, and collecting industrial and commercial taxes. Not very good?
Li Shimin felt that the money was also earned, which was unreasonable.

Qin Lang said very bluntly, how about His Majesty bestow the land, and then hand over the rest to the ministers or the East Palace for development?
It's too stupid to have money and not make money. How can money not be money?

Li Shimin thought for a while, but in the end he was still embarrassed to make the money, so he nodded and agreed to give it to Donggong for development. Anyway, Chengqian made money, and the fat water didn't flow to outsiders. At most, Qin Cheng and other families would also share the profit. That's all.

"Money can be earned, but things have to be done for me, understand?" Li Shimin warned with widened eyes.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that you are doing business! Let those barbarians sing their praises and praise His Majesty's wisdom and generosity!"

These barbarian chiefs who belonged to them were all local emperors, and all of them were very rich. It would be too stupid not to earn this money.

Designate two places, develop and develop, this will only make a profit.

There are so many real local tyrants living in Chang'an, which will drive a lot of consumption in the future!
