"But Your Majesty, if all the barbarians in the mountains are killed, how can the Eight Banners soldiers make achievements?"

After hearing the emperor's statement, Pan Chongche was still a little confused. The Eight Banners system was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, but what if all the Manliao was killed later?

"Hahaha!" Li Jia laughed: "The world is very vast. There are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people. After that, there will be Dali Kingdom, Tubo, and the Western Regions. If it is not good, it will be the Khitan. There is Zhenla in the south. How can it be killed? "

"When you go to another battlefield, you can still get military achievements. You can enjoy wealth through military achievements. However, there will be no supplements. After all, there is no supplement to the barbarians. Sometimes these Eight Banners cannot even get together. The world is peaceful and the time for disbandment.

At that time, I will give it to you, and I will be granted a title and reward for the people, and I will be all Han people!"

This is actually a process of continuous utilization and consumption. Of course, betraying the same tribe will also have a generous reward.

For individuals, this is a smooth future. But for nations, this is the way to waste it - seven or eight out of ten people died, and the others enjoyed wealth and became landlords, with many slaves and wealth, and transformed into Han people. In this way, the Manliao, which has been troubled for many years, will naturally be controlled.

In fact, the core of this policy is one sentence: sincerely reward the Eight Banners, never stingy in rewarding the military titles, never speak out for the land, gold and silver, not to destroy bridges across the river, not to be able to do anything, not to be able to do anything, to be sincere, and iron law.

Anyone who can kill the same clan will be rewarded with great rewards, so that they can be full of gold and jade, have a high title, and will be hereditary, and will be protected from a long life, and will be prosperous from generation to generation, and will never be settled later.

In this way, a large number of alien races will be attracted to join the Eight Banners. The Qing Dynasty was the Eight Banners of Han and Mongolian Banners. Why couldn’t Li Jia have the Eight Banners of Khitan, Dangxiang Banners, Tubo Banners, and the Eight Banners of the Western Regions?

Dividing and conquering it can transform the conflict between the foreign race and the Han people into the contradiction between the wealth distribution between the nobles and the common people between the foreign race, maintain a balance, and perhaps some religious elements can be added.

He couldn't help but fantasize that in addition to the title of emperor, what title would he have been awarded in Tibet, Western Regions, Khitan and other places? Li Shimin's Tian Khan has been used, and it is no longer suitable...

The imperial examination system and military merit system allow the people to support themselves and actively participate in the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Tang Dynasty; the Eight Banners system allows foreign races to devote themselves to the cause of rejuvenating the Tang Dynasty and prospering the family, which is difficult to stop.

Thinking of his compliment, he remembered Li Shimin's words: Heroes in the world have entered my destiny.

With these, it is not out of reach to govern the people diligently, reduce taxes and taxes, and encourage the army to strengthen the army and unify the world.

There are 600,000 Hunan, 2 million Lingnan, 1 million Qingyuan army, more than 3 million Southern Tang (after Huainan), more than 3 million Later Shu, three million Wuyue, seven million Nanping, and about 13 million people.

The Central Plains, who seized Huainan, had about 11 million. As long as they unified the south as soon as possible, they could have a grudge against the Central Plains.

Li Jia was looking forward to it and was in a good mood.

Lizhou, above Langzhou, borders Nanping and borders Dongting Lake. This is where many residences of Meishan Manshan are located.

After the transformation of Liu Yuxi and others, the barbarians of Lizhou and Langzhou were deeply transformed. Many Han people moved here, and most of them lived in plains to facilitate transactions with the outside world. The barbarians of Meishan in Lizhou lived on the mountain for a long time, which was relatively closed and had a low degree of sinicization. It was not until Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty opened Meishan three times and sent troops to force Meishan barbarians to capture Meishan barbarians from the mountain. It was improved. According to the epitaph of the officials who made this decision at that time, they were afraid that Lizhou would be completely controlled by the barbarians.

Lizhou, Shibalipu, a wisp of smoke from cooking was rising slowly in a broken town, a little further away, and you can still see it. This made the place where there were only a few desolate scenes everywhere, and there were more vitality.

The small town, which is not big, has more than 500 families because of the Sichuan-Salt Road. It is a spacious street that runs through the east and west. Standing at the end of the street, you can see almost the entire town.

Outside the town, there was a wall that blocked the invasion of outsiders. At this time, there were only a few remaining walls left in the wall. The small town gate had been smashed, and the blood on the wooden door was very clear.

The dazzling morning light illuminated the blood stains on the street that had not yet been cleaned off, which was particularly eye-catching. A bloody smell spread in the air in this area from the previous few days, without any intention of retreating, and it became more pungent at this time.

More than a dozen bodies that were dragged to the western suburbs of the town and had no time to bury were recorded, even more of which were tragic events that had happened here.

"Why, the barbarians are so bold that they dare to attack us Han people?" A scout on a horse was shocked and angry when he saw this scene. Seeing this, the barbarians had only been away for a few days.

"June, we escaped into the mountains and forests and escaped. Our Shibalipu was destroyed, and nearly half of Dingkou was slaughtered."

An old man was covered in sadness, and his little grandson died in this invasion, and his face was full of wrinkles and told about the pain:

"Let the King of Chu send troops here. These barbarians are crazy, but not only kill many of us, but also rush to buy rice outside the town. The entire Shibalipu has become ruins!"

"Although I am the mayor of Shibalipu, it's really hard to have a living! I'm still hungry!"

The old man didn't know yet that the State of Chu was gone, and now there was only Emperor Tang, and the scout was unhappy:

"Don't worry, there will be troops coming soon!"

Hunan's trade is mainly divided into two lines: one is to buy porcelain and tea cloth from the north, and the other is to sell porcelain to Guangzhou Port in the south. With Changsha as the core, it extends along the Xiangjiang River. The hub in the south is in Hengzhou and the hub in the north is in Langzhou.

In addition to being near the junction of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, Langzhou also connects to the ancient Sichuan salt road. The well salt in Sichuan is transported by the back salt workers to the hands of the barbarians in Zhuzhou in western Hunan. The improvement of the well salt technology in Tang Dynasty can effectively extract impurities in the well salt, increasing the sales of Sichuan salt in Hunan (Hunan did not produce salt before liberation). The specialties in western Hunan (herbs, cinnabar) can not go to Chenzhou and enter other regions from Yuanjiang. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, many markets appeared in the western Hunan region, which effectively stimulated the trade of this road.

Lizhou is located on an important branch of the Sichuan-Salt Ancient Road.

Therefore, after entering Langzhou, Yang Shifan was very jealous and did not dare to have any covetousness towards the ancient Sichuan-Salt Road. He handed it over to the Transportation Commander, just asking for funds to support the troops to be faster.
