When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 60 How can civil and military officials be integrated into one body?
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang directly grasped a key question from this long paragraph: Is Guanlong an alliance formed by intermarriage between Xianbei and Han people?And among this group, Xianbei accounts for a very high proportion!
So how many mixed-race people were there among the high-ranking people in the Tang Dynasty?
Whether it was the establishment of the Sui Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, these figures in the Guanlong Group must have contributed a lot, so how low would their status be?

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

Regarding the bloodline issue of the Li and Tang Dynasties, they had already known more or less from history books.

In that era, no matter how the dynasties changed, the northern nobles were always active in various fields, as if the change of dynasties was just their background.

[There were two major forces at that time, and their leaders also had close relationships with the Six Towns. 】

[One party is headed by Yuwentai, who was born in Wuchuan.The leader of the other side, Gao Huan, came from Huaishuo. 】

[As the internal conflicts in Wei continued to intensify, Yuwentai supported Yuan Baoju as emperor and established the Western Wei Dynasty, while Gao Huan supported Yuan Shan as the emperor and established the Eastern Wei Dynasty. 】

[Yuwentai is also extremely talented in military affairs, so he is recommended by everyone. 】

[After proclaiming Yuan Baoju as emperor, he integrated the soldiers from the six towns and many Xianbei soldiers into the Six Armies, unifying the military power of the Western Wei Dynasty. Then he continued to recruit powerful local troops of the Han people, greatly expanding the Western Wei Dynasty. number of troops. 】

[Subsequently, based on this, the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom, the Twelve Generals, and the 24 Kaifu were established. 】

[Established a military organization system with a clear structure, simplicity and effectiveness. 】

[Among the eight pillars, Yuwentai is naturally the first, followed closely by Yuan Xing, who is a relative of the emperor, and the other six pillars each command two generals. 】

[The six pillar states are Li Hu, Li Bi, Yu Jin, Lonely Xin, Zhao Gui and Chen Chong.Among the eight kingdoms, the Yuwen family belonged to the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.Yuan Xing belonged to the royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Hu belonged to the later royal family of the Tang Dynasty, and Lonely Xin belonged to the descendants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. 】

[Under the leadership of Bazhuguo, Guanlong Group was finally officially born, and in the following nearly a hundred years, many talents of Guanlong Group were active in different fields. 】
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Li Shimin couldn't help but recall the glorious days. Although he was insignificant at that time, he had to admit that it was indeed a glorious and prosperous period.

Fortunately, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the Guanlong Group has been declining. At the same time, due to his continuous efforts, the power of the aristocratic families and groups has been reduced by him, and he has not been able to make any major resistance.

Of course, even so, he did not give up his vigilance against the Guanlong Group.

After all, there were still many powerful nobles who wanted to control the court. These people couldn't fight or scold them but they didn't make any big moves, which made him extremely bored for a time.

Ming Dynasty, Yongle 16th year.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji are receiving education from Zhu Di: "This Guanlong aristocratic group can be said to be the moment when the aristocratic power was at its peak from the founding of the Central Plains to the Tang Dynasty, but it was also the last afterglow of their last sunset."

Indeed, after Guanlong, although some aristocratic classes existed, they had lost all-round control over politics, economy, military, etc. They could only be said to be in name only, or small groups, far from forming a A group.

[Because of their relatively chaotic bloodline, they highly advocate martial arts and like bows, horses, riding, and archery. 】

[The emergence of this style not only strengthened the military power of the Guanlong Group, but also laid a great foundation for the later Tang Dynasty to expand its territory and conduct overseas expeditions. 】

[Of course, the reason why the Guanlong Group can influence various dynasties is that their civil governance is naturally not very bad. What they pursue is the unification of civil and military affairs, seeking common ground while reserving differences, using culture to control military affairs, and using military force to assist culture. 】

Tang Dynasty, Wude Ninth Year.

Li Yuan looked at the miracle as if he was looking at his own past experiences.What the miracles said were indeed facts, and many of the opinions were based on high ground. Even he, a person who personally experienced that era, did not clearly understand it.

The reason why Datang is what it is today is largely due to the legacy of the Guanlong Group, and today's Datang is also maintaining balance thanks to his efforts.

Although the Guanlong Group has gradually become dissatisfied due to its weakening power, fortunately it can still be controlled.
-
Song.

Many courtiers couldn't help but think of the previous miracle's ridicule of their use of civil and military forces, and their praise of the Guanlong Group's combination of civil and military affairs. Their faces turned red, but they still did not agree: "How can civil and military officials be integrated into one body?" ? Literature is literature, martial arts is martial arts! How can a group of vulgar warriors understand the essence of articles and thoughts!"

[The aristocratic group that Li Shimin belongs to is naturally a combination of civil and military affairs, and at the same time it is closer to the common people. 】

[This has also led to Li Shimin, who has lived in such an environment for a long time, to see many things very clearly. 】

[And this influence was not limited to Li Shimin. With the ups and downs of the four dynasties, this influence was gradually expanded to the entire Central Plains. 】

[To give the simplest example, in the Tang Dynasty, there were six cases of the capital falling and the emperor escaping nine times. So why were there not, or almost rare, cases before the Tang Dynasty? 】

[Even if it happened, it was only once or twice. Why could the emperor of the Tang Dynasty put aside his psychological burden and run away whenever he wanted? 】

[But in the past, those people who shouted that the king should die in the country and the emperor should stick to the country had their money gone. Why are they all gone?A large part of the reason has to do with this effect. 】

[In fact, before the Tang Dynasty and in the Sui Dynasty, this influence had already become active in various places with the increase in the power of the Guanlong Group. 】

[Following this are the characteristics of some nomadic peoples. 】

[In the Tang Dynasty, this culture was completely rooted in the grassroots. Therefore, many people did not think there was anything wrong with temporary retreat. The most the court would do was argue before retreating, and in the end it would decide to retreat. 】
-
Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou.

Liu Che suddenly realized that it did make sense from this aspect.

When Wei Qing and Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu, once they won the battle, the enemy did not hesitate to run away. Even their own base camp did not show any mercy and retreated directly.

But at the same time, he was silent. According to what Shen Wei said before, the Tang Dynasty was obviously a top country among all nations and was extremely powerful, but why was there still a situation where the capital fell six times and the emperor fled nine times?

Even if this is the case, the Tang Dynasty can still exist!Could it be that after merging with those foreign races, it is really so powerful?

Could it be that after learning part of the barbarian culture, he is really so powerful?
-
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

The monarchs and ministers in the main hall have begun to think about the fundamental reasons behind the emperor's flight and the continuation of the country.

They did not care about the influence of the Xianbei people on the Tang Dynasty. The key to the problem was whether their Ming Dynasty could connect certain seemingly shameful and unacceptable things with the continuation of the country like the Tang Dynasty did.
