0855 Heaven does not abandon me, you do not abandon me
When Li Zhaode spoke up, most of the hour passed quickly. Although he was still a little unaware of the latest situation in Shuofang, and occasionally some of his views seemed outdated, his overall insights were still very admirable.
Putting aside some macro conceptual concepts, Li Tong asked a specific question after Li Zhaode's statement came to an end: "This time, we will first kill the son of the Uighur leader to serve as Xuanwei. How to deal with the Uighur problem next? Can Li Xianggong have a strategy?"
When Li Zhaode heard this question, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he asked a few specific changes in the border situation, and then said: "The Tiel tribes were the Uighurs as the strong one. In the past year, due to the disturbance of the Turkic invasion, they had to come south to surrender. Hequ was not his hometown, and the tribes did not work in farming and weaving. If they were cold in the country, they would have to escape. If they were not allowed to leave, they would probably jump into Henan and leave indulge in them, and they would have to rely on the Turks, which could be said to be a dilemma. I dared to ask, does the court have strong troops prepared to be sent to Shuofang?"
"No. Qinghai Qinling is eager to break through, and the king of the country dares not be lonely and is about to move. Now the court is performing martial arts, and it is intended to shock the Hu people around the border and gather manpower to prepare for the war in the West."
After hearing this, Li Tong simply shook his head and told Li Zhaode directly about the court's next military plan.
Of course, although he was determined to be the West, he was not completely prepared for Heshuo. This time, he killed the son of Du Jiezhi, the leader of the Uighurs. In addition to being shocked, he also hoped that before the situation on the Western Front would become more intense, he would take the initiative to raise some hidden dangers and see how much problems Heshuo had accumulated.
If the chaos is too big, the plan will of course change. The strategy of a big country, especially in terms of external aspects, should not be too rigid and stick to the plan, and need to flexibly adjust and control it.
However, since he is planning to test Li Zhaode, of course, he must set up a more extreme situation, killing his son, and making people not quarrel. At the same time, the court does not have enough force to control the deterioration of the situation. Let's see if Li Zhaode has any ideas to resolve this problem.
After hearing the saint say this, Li Zhaode lowered his head and thought. After a while, he looked up and asked again: "If there is no man or horse to send him, can there be enough money?"
After hearing this, Li Tong nodded, saying that there was no problem in this regard, and signaled Li Zhaode to continue talking.
"Since the matter cannot be paid to the sword and the war, I ask for money and bribe the fans. The beheaded Emperor Fu was sent to his subordinates and discussed the market buying matter with the Du Jiezhi. He bought his horse well and was willing to use it. He also gave it a few gusts in the salt field and allowed him to sell it to the land of Hequ..."
Li Zhaode continued, and when Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help frowning. He killed people to establish authority, but after killing people, he turned to bribes, and even got a share of the important salt resources that controlled the Hu Hu of Hequ. So what's the point of establishing authority?
"The power of goods will be tied to the forces of goods, and the tribe will be safe and unhappy to migrate. The wealth and goods will be abundant, and the people will enjoy it and are unwilling to fight. If the money and goods are full, they will be rich. People will be competing for the whole country and envy them. The salt supply in Yanzhou will decrease year by year, and the salt price will rise every day. The items of the tribes will be taken to feed the Uighurs. If you don't need to be a year-round, you will complain. At that time, the court will issue an order to conquer and destroy the tribes. If the Hu Yiyi destroys his tribes, you will be happy and the people will fight for progress. Hequ can also eliminate this problem..."
Li Zhaode did not notice the change in the saint's expression, but continued to tell his overall conception, and then explained the plan in full, and then continued: "If you want to do this plan, you need to blockade the three surrender cities with all their strength. Hedong and Guanzhong cannot transport goods. Anbei Protectorate's Office strictly prevents the foreign tourists in the Western Regions. If you can do these things, I will eliminate this evil foreigner for the court!"
After listening to Li Zhaode's overall conception, Li Tong's frown spread slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh that when it comes to playing a trade war, the ancients also had broad ideas and very ideas.
After the Middle Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs in history relied on their strength for a while and took advantage of their strength to trade horses in the official markets of the Tang Dynasty and extorted too much, using this as an important means of profit.
At that time, the important pastures in the Tang Dynasty and Longyou were all lost. The demand for war horses in the country was already seriously insufficient, and they really did not have enough strength to punish the Uighurs for their evil deeds, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.
Now according to Li Zhaode's idea, you don't need to rely on force to blackmail. The court takes the initiative to transport wealth to you. If you don't want to, you will be fed to death!
Of course, if you want to achieve this intention, you must first ensure that you control the Uighurs' business environment so that they cannot convert their wealth into force. This was originally difficult to achieve. The Hanhai Governor's Office, which was formerly ruled by the Uighurs in his early years, was far north of Jikou, with vast grasslands and deserts, so it was really difficult to block its trade routes.
Even though they were expelled by the Turks in their early years and surrendered to the south, the Tianshan Mountains they placed were located west of the Yellow River and were quite related to the Western Regions. The Hu merchants in the Western Regions were all fond of their righteousness when they saw profits. As long as they were given enough money, they even dared to sell their ancestors.
However, now, the Uighurs have been separated, and the Yaoluoge branch has been directly moved to the six prefectures in Hequ. With the Yellow River as its natural boundary, there are three attacks and defense systems outside the river. Not to mention that the surrounding area is filled with Turkic surrendered households. It is not difficult for the imperial court to control their commercial activities.
Li Tong was still quite interested in Li Zhaode's strategy of raising pigs in circles. Although when he decided to kill Fudifu, he had already made plans to advance northward and destroy Yao Luoge clan, killing people and establishing their power had made some Hequ Hu chiefs nervous and suspicious. If they rise to the cruel means of extermination, you can imagine that even if Yao Luoge clan is killed, the Hequ area will inevitably fall into long-term chaos.
If the Turks in Mobei discovered this change, they would definitely be happy and rushed to the south. Even if three surrendered cities blocked the enemy outside the river, many variables would be generated.
Therefore, using force to suppress the enemy is just a plan, and it is a means to wait until the Uighur leader unleashes his stern and dies, and it is not the first choice.
Although according to Li Zhaode's plan, the court will definitely invest a lot of financial expenses in the future, and it will also have a certain impact on the surrounding Huqing. However, Heshuo had an army that was garrisoned. As long as a few large tribes did not jump up and make trouble, some minor disturbances could be solved on the spot.
Moreover, the court's demand for war horses is indeed very high. The herdsmen in Longyou and Guanzhong have been abandoned for many years. Although they have been trying their best to recover from the beginning of the Taiwan Strait, they still have not reached the peak of the Zhenguan and Yonghui periods. If they want to use troops in Qinghai in large quantities, they will not even rule out that Longnan and western Sichuan will send troops together, then the demand for war horses is also extremely high, and purchasing part of them is also a practical need in Heshuo.
Li Tong was quite satisfied with the idea of solving the problem proposed by Li Zhaode, and then said: "If Mr. Li does not refuse to work hard to defend the border, then the convenience will be handed over to the rule of the Xianggong to control the garrison. Tomorrow, he will be brought to the capital to join the two provinces, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, the Taipu and other relevant officials, and continue to discuss the details. After returning to the capital, I will see the relevant matters on the desk. Can I do it?"
After hearing this, Li Zhaode quickly stood up and bowed again, and said in a trembling voice: "My old and inferior are inherent. The sage does not abandon his foolish behavior. I will give him the important task of keeping me. How dare Zhaode quit his work because of old and sickness? This body is very generous and honored that the Tang family has a chance to donate his body for the rest of his life. He will use flesh and blood to cast the iron wall of the Tang Dynasty. His power is extremely powerful and he will not lose his land!"
After seeing this, Li Tong stood up from the table and personally came down to the hall to help Li Zhaode up. He said with great emotion: "The old people have always regretted that they cannot work together. Today, they finally got their wishes. Although the seats of the king and his ministers are different, they have the same mood as those of you! The old things are not troubled, and the warriors only stride forward. The way is difficult, and the comrades are not alone. You are worried about the country and the king in the border area. I also think of you in the Mingtang. The special event has been held. We have made an appointment and vow together, and we will not be absent!"
"My memory, I have been lost for a long time... Heaven will not abandon me, you will not abandon me..."
