Chapter 1098 Death is a national mourning (2)
In the temporary home of Jinyang Palace/Daming City, the Wen'an Hall where the small court political affairs hall is located, there were also fierce debates:
"Why, why do you have to repeat it again and again! Didn't it be agreed that you should work hard to protect the last orthodox of the Tang Dynasty, even if you accept a Shatuo people as the regent, you will be willing to do anything?"
"With that being said, do you know that the huge Hedong prefectures have begun to lack salt now? Do you also know that the salt price in Taiyuan Prefecture has reached a kilogram worth a thousand yuan, but it still has a price but no market?"
"Since ancient times, there has been no place where salt products are not produced. How can you be the only one who has been allocated to the army? Now, in addition to the number of people already distributed, there are no more inventory available in the local area, let alone stabilize the market..."
"Now the plan to capture the Yanchi in the Hezhong has been completely destroyed; if the peaceful thief does not come to attack, he will just rely on the little accumulation in his hands. Do you think he can last for how long?"
"It's just a matter of change sooner or later!!! At that time, will the King of Jin take to deal with the situation and calm people's hearts for a while? Who can I keep my husband in the church now? "
"Anyway, we must find a way out and be prepared for any trouble..."
——I am the dividing line of restlessness—
In Chang'an City, Zhou Huaian, who was paying attention to the battle situation in Shizhou north of the pass, received another unexpected news.
"What does it mean? The Tuoba clan, the head of the Party and Xiang tribes, is gone?"
"It's true that the Tuoba tribe who escaped into Dijinze, had a total of 1,457 heads, and had been initially confirmed on the spot, not a fake choice."
The head of the staff team responsible for the battle situation in Yanbian in the north responded:
That is, during the first war within the pass a few years ago, Tuoba Sigong, who followed Daibeixingying to recruit Cui An, was the head of the eight Dangxiang coalition forces. After being tragically destroyed in Wugong, Xianyang and other places, even Tuoba Sizhong himself died in a dry well on the way to escape;
However, there were still some remaining troops from the Dangxiang vassal division who were lucky enough to break out of the encircled Taiping Army net; and they ran along the Jingshui Valley and crossed Yanzhou, Suizhou, Yinzhou and other places, but they did not dare to stay and continued to flee back to Xiazhou where Dangxiang lived in Pingxia.
Then, after losing a large number of strong and middle- and upper-level leaders in the pass, the eight major departments of the Party Xiang, which were broken in the balance of power, began a new round of major reshuffle fighting and internal strife on the grounds of mutual accountability. Later, Shatuo's troops led troops to cross the border and stole a lot of cattle, horses, sheep and animals.
As a result, the turmoil continued until the next summer. It was the weakest and the most people were asked back. Xifeng, Yelu and Fangdang tribes finally won the chaos. And reached an agreement to divide the large grasslands and pastures left by Tuoba and other tribes, which were originally the most powerful, and the cattle, sheep and slave mouths left;
As the last remaining force of the Tuoba tribe, he fled to an oasis in the vast desert in the north - Dijinzezhong, and survived. This situation of the three tribes being the only one and being in harmony with each other could not last long, and the second internal war of the Western Army advancing east the following year.
Zheng Qie, the general manager of the Longyou Taiwan station in Hexi, naturally sent people to Xiazhou to recruit people. These were nominally affiliated with the Party and Xiang ministries assigned by the Xia Suiyan Jiedushi. Unfortunately, after the envoy arrived at the local area, he could not find a specific object to negotiate, so he inexplicably lost his life.
Then, when it was the midsummer season next year, after the Second Inner War ended, the Taiping Army led by Zhou Ben also went north to Yinxia in Yansui again with a great victory. The local vassal divisions, which were already severely damaged by civil strife and famine, had no courage to confront and deal with it.
Therefore, this time, as the only three tribes of Dangxiang Jiangshun's name was to take the Taiping Army's envoys as evidence, all the soldiers who controlled the strings surrounded and attacked and killed the remaining forces headed by the Tuoba tribe; but it was not until recently that they found the last hiding place of the Tuoba clan in the depths of the desert.
This also means that the Dangxiang forces, which may have dominated the northwest during the Five Dynasties, have withdrew from the historical stage and become ordinary. Next, the follow-up solution to the party members of the Xifeng, Yelu and Fangdang tribes that have been subdued;
Because these three ministries still maintained about thousands of people and horses from each other through mergers and internal strife; although the rest were the elderly, weak, women and children, putting them on the border was ultimately a force that could not be ignored.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Huaian still chose a solution that was not conservative or compromised in the foreign affairs office, pedestrian department and other relevant departments, and added an additional requirement.
In this way, although the remaining three departments of the Party and the Xiang team avoided the fate of being punitively dismembered or strangled in the most radical plan; however, as the only remaining upper-class leaders and their relatives, they must be designated to be selected for family members and move collectively to Chang'an to settle down.
In addition, these three departments will each produce a thousand string control men with all bows and horses to join Zhou Ben's military sequence, and serve as the auxiliary cavalry brigade to listen to the results for a period of time; and then send the same number of young men in the clan to the pass to receive training from the Boys' Camp.
After all, the most basic norm is the death of a chicken on the grassland. Even if all the Dangxiang people are killed and exterminated, the pastures without owners will naturally be left with new blocks and will continue to fill in.
However, if the people and troops were recruited from the mainland to settle, the grassland area was generally relatively barren and had poor output, and the backward road and communication conditions would also increase the corresponding cost of existence to a very unacceptable extent.
This is also a similar problem that most Central Plains regimes had to face in the feudal era; after the corresponding productivity and mobilization capabilities reached the military's release and maintenance of borders and restrictions, no matter how great the results were, they could not be converted into the corresponding interests of territory expansion, and instead became the disadvantage of dragging down and weakening the country's strength.
Therefore, it is better to temporarily maintain some of the strength and lose a lot of money, but are relatively familiar with the local situation and have enough respect and obedience to the Taiping Army, and continue to maintain a certain sense of existence to exclude and drive away the unexpected factors caused by the migration of unfamiliar tribes.
Of course, although it has been nicknamed the Dirty Tang Dynasty in history, strictly speaking, in a sense, the frontier policies and foreign strategies of the Tang Dynasty were also the most proactive and effective in all dynasties; for example, the Yanbian city border system that ran through the Tang Dynasty.
That is, they used the defeated and conquered East-West Turks, Later Turks, Tiel, Xueyantu, Uighurs, Khitan and other suburbs to provide sources of cattle and horses, act as servants of Yanbian military towns and establish similar border buffer zones.
Although there are also several large-scale overturns due to improper employment or internal struggles, due to the restraint and drag of factors such as improper employment or internal struggles; but as long as the Sino-Turkish regime itself remains stable enough, it can always be corrected from the decline by relying on its strong strength and huge size.
Therefore, even in the first ten years when the Tang Dynasty was about to perish, it was still possible to easily summon five armies with an edict, and to defeat the Shatuo Zhuye clan, who raised the rebellious flag in Daibei, and to escape alone; it could also recover the Annan land invaded by Nanzhao in the south, and to defeat the other party to send envoys to seek peace.
Among the many replaced Chengbang tribal forces, two ethnic groups that were able to continue to the Five Dynasties; whether they were the Shatu people of Yan Dynasty or the Dangxiang people of Yanxia, they had completed a considerable degree of semi-domestication; and were active in the battlefield where the Huang Chao Uprising Army was encircled and suppressed.
Therefore, after the Five Dynasties, the Shatuo Military Group of the Later Tang Dynasty, as the successor of Li Tang, was no longer different from the warlords in various parts of the Central Plains. In order to establish the country through separatist rule, they had to create writing and customs and traditions, and promote the reverse party-enhancing.
It can also be said that in addition to the implementation of the external strategies and grassland policies of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the introduction of (middle and lower classes) Lamaism and syphilis, and (upper classes) marriage methods to achieve long-term restraint and control of the Qing regime in the Qing Dynasty, it was even more progressive than the Han Dynasty.
After all, although there were many strange examples in the Tang Dynasty, they could never be like the foreign Qing Dynasty ruling regime. They married their daughters to Mongolian tribes for generations, and then used Mongolian women with short figures and big pussy faces (smallopsis, the sequelae of the severely affected area of the plague) to constantly fill their harems.
In the end, the leaders of all departments with some font sizes on the Mongolian grasslands were turned into "uncle and nephew's relatives" and "royal family members"; and in essence, the basic bond system of "man and Mongolian integration" was completed.
Among them, the largest one is the joke that Emperor Zhongzong of Tang regards the people of the Khikas who claimed to be Li Ling of the Han Dynasty as the joke that the people of the Han Dynasty, who are of the same clan and relatives are not comparable to other tribes; and the dowry of Princess Jincheng who entered the bride by the land of Hequ, which caused the Tang and Tibet to continue bleeding for many years before they regained their rebellion...
As for the invading Liao Shengzong in the Tanyuan Alliance, they formed a brotherly country, and worshipped Empress Dowager Xiao as their elders to maintain peace with annual monies; after Sanchuankou, they were divided into Xixia, which became a brotherly country, and then paid another annual monies to add to the head of the Song Dynasty, it would not be embarrassing to take it out.
Therefore, as long as the Taiping Army retains and maintains some of the old Yanbian policies and fait accompli; military focus and priority are maintained at several key nodes, and then indirectly control the economic lifelines such as daily life needs and cattle, horses and sheep products trade.
Therefore, the positioning of these Dangxiang clans is to provide cow, horse and fur products. The Taiping Army will even send veterinarians and specialized craftsmen to their tribe to guide the corresponding settlement and fence-style animal husbandry production, as well as the subsequent utilization rate of bone, meat, milk, and fur.
After David improves the basic transportation infrastructure and communication situation in the future, he will make large-scale adjustments and transformations. If the other party has become accustomed to and adapted to the economic system deliberately maintained by the Taiping Army, he will have no repetition or resistance.
Just like the magnificent neon electronics industry and manufacturing industry in later generations, it is actually a product developed by the Lighthouse Country's industrial system. It is like the so-called Maritime Self-Defense Force, which is actually the air defense squadron that is located in the Asian military system and is equipped with an aircraft carrier cluster.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian suddenly became somewhat interested in the situation in Nanzhao, which is far away in the southwest, and ordered to the left and right:
"Go and find me the latest battle report and corresponding progress of Qianzhong, as well as regular reports from Qu Chengyu and others..."
