Chapter 42 Governing Tianzhu
"What? Massacre? Yang Sixue slaughtered the city?" Zhang Shuo rushed over and was stunned when he learned about Yang Sixu's massacre.
Needless to say, Zhang said that he was brave, but the massacre of the city was too scary. Even with Zhang said that he was scary, he was also frightened.
"He really slaughtered the city? Prince, you didn't lie to me, are you?" Zhang said unbelievable.
Li Longji was speechless, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that Yang Sixu would dare to massacre the city. I wanted to establish my authority on the Southern Tianzhu. I just wanted to massacre the army. I never thought that he would dare to do the massacre. He was so brave."
Li Longji would definitely dare to do the massacre army. Li Longji might not dare to do the massacre city because the psychological burden was too great.
It’s easy to say that the Tu Jun was a soldier. They were fighting and killing them, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
The same is true for massacre. Those who kill unarmed people. Even if they are people from enemy countries, they will also have a heavy psychological burden. Only those who are particularly fierce and cruel will dare to do this.
"How dare he slaughter the city?" Zhang Said blankly.
Asking himself, Zhang said that he would definitely not dare to issue an order to massacre the city.
"Zhang said, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Li Longji frowned.
"Crown Prince, the massacre of the city may not be a wonderful method." Zhang Shuo took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and thought, "Since we marched into India, it has been too smooth and failed to establish our authority. If we can establish our authority and scare the courage of the Indians, it may not be a good thing."
"Yes." Li Longji nodded and said, "It depends on the responses from all over the country after this incident spread."
As soon as the words were finished, someone immediately sent the latest military newspaper.
Li Longji took it and saw it. His mouth opened his head and was surprised.
"Crown Prince, what's the matter?" Zhang Shuo asked hurriedly.
"What else can there be? The impact of Yang Sixu's massacre of the city has come." Li Longji handed the military newspaper to Zhang and said, "It seems that it's not bad now. Some people were resisting sporadically, but after hearing about this, they scattered and they never dared to cause trouble again."
The Tang army captured Tianzhu, which was initial control. It would take some time for the complete control. There were still sporadic resistance in many places. News of Yang Sixu's massacre of the city spread, and these forces no longer dared to be enemies with the Tang army and scattered birds and beasts.
"Oh, is there such a good thing?" Zhang Shuo took the military newspaper and couldn't help but smile: "The Indians are still afraid of being cruel. Although Xue Zhi's slaughtering the army has a good deterrent effect on the Indians, it is far less than Yang Sixu's slaughtering the city."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "Yousufu, the Oriental Governor of Dashi, is a cruel man, fierce and cruel. He is bloodthirsty, and he can massacre 120,000 people in Khorasan at one time. Now, there is also a cruel man in the Tang Dynasty, and Yousufu has an opponent. The prince, in the battle with Dashi, must send Yang Sixu. He will meet him with Yousufu, a ruthless man, and it will be wonderful."
Yousuf's actions in Khorasan had long been exploring the Ni Nirvana Master, and Li Longji and the others naturally knew it.
"It makes sense, too." Li Longji nodded and said, "A cruel person must be treated by ruthless people. Yousufu is cruel and cruel, and he is bloodthirsty. When he meets Yang Sixu, what other tricks can he do?"
"Haha." Zhang said he was quite looking forward to it and burst into laughter.
"However, it's better to do less like massacres. If you do it once every once in a while, you can still have a good deterrent effect. If you do too much, it will arouse hatred and make the people of India hate us. After Rong Yang Sixu comes back, I will scold him." Li Longji raised his eyebrows and said with a serious face.
"It should be." Zhang said that he also felt that he should beat Yang Sixu.
"Southern Tianzhu has been destroyed, Tianzhu has been conquered by us. The next thing is to govern. You are here just right, let's discuss it carefully." Li Longji called Zhang and sat down.
Zhang Shuo came here and said, "Prince, Tianzhu is not as wide as Tubo. It has a wider territory and more vocabulary. It needs to be handled more. It may be difficult for us to handle it in a short time. In my opinion, Song Jing should be transferred. With him to help, this matter will be much easier."
Tubo is very small and has few people, so there is not much government affairs to deal with. That's it, Li Longji and the others are also tired. The territory of India is much larger than that of Tubo, with a much larger population, and there will be more official affairs to deal with. If Song Jing is not transferred, relying on Li Longji and Zhang alone will exhaust them.
"It's so good." Li Longji agreed very much and said: "I will take advantage of the opportunity to report my father's victory and ask my father to send more officials to India."
To completely control Tianzhu, a large number of officials must arrive, otherwise it would be impossible, which is inevitable.
"Crown Prince, we have to discuss a charter first. After Rong Songjing arrives, we can deal with it with it with just a little modification." Zhang Shen suggested.
"Not bad." Li Longji looked at Zhang with admiration.
Zhang said that he is worthy of being a talented person and thinks of everything.
It took some time for Song Jing to come from Tubo. Li Longji and the others could take this opportunity to discuss a charter and come up with a general direction. Once Song Jing arrived, he only needed a little calculation to implement it.
"Zhang said, you must have thought it through carefully. Tell me, how should we manage India?" Li Longji said.
"I thought deeply and didn't dare to say it, but I just had some ideas. If there is something wrong, please ask the prince to correct me." After finishing his opening remark, Zhang said, "The territory of India is vast and too far from the Tang Dynasty. It is difficult for the Tang Dynasty to implement the county system and is not feasible. According to my wishes, it is better to rely on the Indians to govern the Indians."
"You mean to use the barbarians to govern the barbarians?" Li Longji summarized.
"That's what it means." Zhang Shuo nodded and said, "Use the Indians to govern the Indians, our Tang Dynasty only needs to control these Indians who govern people."
This method is exactly the same as what the British did in India. It was through this method that the British ruled India for four centuries.
Zhang said that he was very talented when he could propose this method.
"Tell me in detail." Li Longji said.
"Crown Prince, according to my wishes, we can still establish a king in Tianzhu. With the king's reputation, it will be much more convenient to act." Zhang Shuo looked far-reachingly and said, "In order to prevent the power of Tianzhu from being too great, we must dismember Tianzhu. We can support more than a dozen or twenty kings in Tianzhu."
The territory of India is very large. If only five kings, east, west, south, north and middle, were established, their strength was not small, and the Tang Dynasty would be a little difficult to control. If India was dismembered and supported more than a dozen or twenty kings, each king would not have much land and not much of his mouth, which would be difficult to cause trouble. It would be much easier for the Tang Dynasty to control it.
"This is a good idea. It's feasible." Li Longji immediately made it clear.
"In order to better govern, these kings belong to different local ministers. We can set up five major parts: east, west, south, north and middle, and assign five capable ministers to take charge. They just need to manage the king well." Zhang said many ways.
This is similar to the "Governor" promoted by Britain in India. The Governor does not directly interfere in specific governance affairs, but just needs to manage the king well.
Of course, in order to prevent the king from causing trouble, the king only has a false position, nameless but not real, and the real power is controlled by these ministers. These ministers can manage and arrange personnel, which is to bypass the king.
The specific governance personnel are assigned by the ministers who are in charge here, and this move is quite powerful. These people will definitely obey orders.
"As for the matter of garrison, I thought it was necessary to garrison, but not too many." Zhang Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "Although the Tang Dynasty has many mouths, if a large number of troops are stationed in Tianzhu, it will be a heavy burden. We still have to implement the strategy of "controlling the barbarians with barbarians". We only need to station a small number of troops in Tianzhu, and then transfer people from Tubo to let them come to Tianzhu to garrison."
The Tang Dynasty had a large number of people, with more than 37 million, and many troops could be recruited. However, it could not be stationed in large numbers in India, because it would reduce the number of mobile troops of the Tang Dynasty and make the Tang Dynasty a little passive in strategic direction. Moreover, this was also a heavy burden, even with the strength of the Tang Dynasty, it would be difficult to be competent.
It is a good idea to gather the Tubo people, train them, arm them, and ask them to station in India.
The Tang Dynasty only needed to station a small number of troops in Tianzhu and act as the core. These Tang troops only needed to intimidate the Tubo people, and the Tubo people had to obediently obey the orders, and Tianzhu was under the control of the Tang Dynasty.
There is another advantage in doing this, that is, the Tubo people will be very happy. Because the Tang Dynasty rewarded military merits very generously, the Tubo people stationed in India and would receive good military pay. Compared with their income from grazing in high mountains and dense forests, the Tubo people will definitely be happy to do it.
"In addition to this, we have to do one more thing, that is, to gather the Indians, train them, and arm them, so that we can conquer the countries in the Western Regions in the future, and we can send them to guard the country." Zhang said.
"Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!" Li Longji gently slapped his high-fives, and said in great appreciation, "Zhang said, you have come up with a good idea! Very good idea!"
The Tubo people were used to guard Tianzhu, and then the Tianzhu people were used to guard the countries in the Western Regions. This formed a cycle and was linked together. The Tang Dynasty only needed to intimidate the Tubo people at the source to make them bow their heads.
Not long after Li Longji and Zhang said that the rules were taken out, Song Jing rushed over and over again. The three of them discussed it a little, listened to Song Jing's suggestions, and revised them slightly, and the program for governing India was determined.
Then, it is the implementation issue.
There are many talented people among the Indians. They just need to select them and let them run around. The Tang people will supervise them later. This governance of affairs is going very smoothly.

Chang'an, Daming Palace.
Li Dan is dealing with official business, with a focused expression.
"Your Majesty, the Prince's Army newspaper." Jia Ming came happily and reported: "The Prince has lived up to His Majesty's high hopes and has conquered India. Congratulations to Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty."
"Haha!" Li Dan did not have any doubts this time, but accepted it happily, raised his head to the sky, laughed loudly, and said, "It was not long after I restored the throne, and conquered the Tubo and Tianzhu countries. Jia Ming, what are my achievements?"
"Your Majesty's achievements are about to catch up with Emperor Taizong." Jia Ming hurriedly made up his mind.
Li Dan’s reinstatement was not long, and he destroyed the two countries in a row. This was a great achievement, and he couldn’t help but be happy. Jia Ming’s words made him happy and said with a smile: “Catch up with Emperor Taizong? There is still a gap. Although it is not much, there is still a gap.”
