He wrote a long letter to Li Shimin, reporting the unconditional surrender of the Desire Valley, the disarming of 80,000 Turkic warriors, and the annexation of thousands of miles to the Tang Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He, Li Chao, recovered Mo Nan without spending a single soldier, and he also took no less than 200,000 Turkic herdsmen with him.

It's just that after writing the recital and sending it to Xiangyang, Li Chao sat there and sighed.

"Why aren't you happy?"

Pingyang is puzzled, this is a great achievement, a great joy.

"What's so happy about it, the loss of 200,000 slaves, not to mention millions of cattle, sheep and horses, as long as I think about it, I feel that I have lost a lot, and my heart hurts."

Hearing Li Chao say this, Pingyang was a little speechless.

"That's good, it's against heaven and earth. Just think of it as accumulating some virtue for the child in my womb! ”

Li Chao was really depressed in his heart, originally he set such harsh conditions for Desire Valley, just to force him to escape or start fighting.

If you want to escape, you will definitely only be able to escape a small part, and you will definitely not be able to win the fight, and when the time comes, the hundreds of thousands of people in the south of the desert, and millions of cattle and sheep, will not all become his trophies.

Datang is now short of labor everywhere, hundreds of thousands of slaves, how much money can be sold, how much income can be generated for the imperial court, especially how many nobles and merchants can be provided with cheap labor.

Not to mention, those cattle, sheep, horses, tents, possessions, and so on.

But now that Desire Valley is so cowardly to accept the unconditional surrender, in this way, Li Chao can no longer make these Turks slaves, and Li Chao cannot rob their property.

After all, people surrendered, and the court had to keep its word. Even if they were moved to the Central Plains, their property would still belong to them.

Bai pulled 60,000 Xi Qi soldiers and horses over, but it had no effect at all.

"I think this result is very good, and Your Majesty will be very happy."

Of course, Li Shimin will be happy, he picked up such a large area in the eastern part of Monan in vain, and picked up more than 200,000 people, after these people changed to the Tang Dynasty, they grazed cattle and horses for the Tang Dynasty, drove cars for the Tang Dynasty, and served as soldiers for the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of the imperial court was greatly increased.

But for a big nobleman like Li Chao, it is useless.

What they urgently need now is slaves, laborers, preferably unemployed vagrants or something, so that they can recruit them. But now these Turks have descended, and the imperial court will definitely arrange it, and there will be nothing for them.

The war is over.

A little thunder was loud and the rain was small, and it took a long time to put on such a big frame, but the enemy was directly instigated. Unconditional surrender is a bit boring.

Standing in the open gap, looking at the simple military camp tents on both sides of the pass at this time, Li Chao pointed to the mouth and said, "Mo Nan has surrendered, and in the future, Saibei will build castles, reclaim wasteland, set up tunzhuang, and even set up pastures, etc., this is the main road connecting the four places, and it will definitely be very prosperous in the future." We should build a shop market here, and in the future, it will definitely become a prosperous commercial port like Jiangxin City in Longyou, Ningyuan City in Shuofang, Fengzhou City in Suiyuan, and Shangluo Duke in Liaoxi. ”

Li Xiuning was accustomed to Li Chao's unbridled thinking, and just now he was talking about the submission of the Turks and national affairs, but in a blink of an eye, Li Chao had already talked about business.

"If you say there is a future here, you must be right. How much money do I have in my hand, anyway, you know, my living money is also stored in your family's bank, and if you want to use the money, you can use it directly. Anyway, I followed you to invest money, and you never lost my share. ”

Of course, Li Chao is not a person who will lose his own woman's money.

The geographical location of Zhangjiakou is unique, especially now that Mo Nan has been taken, this is no longer a border pass, but in the territory, far away from the border of Mo Bei. At the same time, now that the Xi and Qi clans are attached, it is close from here to there, and it will definitely be very prosperous in trade here in the future.

The development of Zhangjiakou and the building of this place into an important border trade town like Ningyuan will definitely benefit from it.

With the strength of the Li family, it is actually enough to develop Zhangjiakou alone, but since it is a profitable business, especially a very profitable business, Li Chao does not want to eat alone.

Eating alone is always annoying, and everyone eats meat together, which is the king.

As usual, Li Chao sent letters to Wei Chigong, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yanjin, and at the same time expressed his words to the powerful people of all families, and those who were willing to come together were welcome. Anyway, to build such a large border market commercial port, I am not afraid of many people.

The more people participate, the bigger the market will do, and the bigger the market, the more you will naturally earn.

However, Li Chao has a rule first, he hopes that everyone can follow his plan and build Zhangjiakou into an orderly and large-scale commercial port from the beginning, rather than a chaotic place.

Su Zhi and Luo Luo Bai came to visit, because of the surrender of Desire Valley, the original Li Chao promised them to get half of the cattle and sheep property after breaking through Monan, and it was gone.

They ran in vain, and not a single sheep could be shared.

Because those Turkic people have become the people of the Tang Dynasty, their property is protected by the Tang Dynasty and is sacrosanct.

Su Zhi and Duluo were not so bold as to dare to rob the property of the people of the Tang Dynasty, although those people were still enemies of the Tang Dynasty a moment ago, and they were damned Turks.

The two were reluctant to go back like this.

When they heard that Li Chao was going to build a commercial port in Zhangjiakou, which was larger than the scale of the Shangluo Duke, they were moved.

found Li Chao, and also wanted to mix in and get a piece of the pie.

They are not satisfied with just being a supplier of livestock and furs, they also want to have a place in this big commercial port.

"Yes, we are very welcome to partners, as long as everyone can agree on the same idea."

Let Xi Khitan people occupy a share in Zhangjiakou commercial port, Li Chao doesn't think there is anything wrong, and everyone makes money together. Xi and Khitan people can also make money, if they make more money here, then they will also protect the interests of Zhang Jiapin in the future.

As long as there is money to invest in, Li Chao will treat everyone equally.

Su Zhi and Du Luo are very rich, as the big chief, they have many valley cattle and sheep, the two expressed their willingness to use cattle, horses, camels and sheep to buy shares, Li Chao said that Li Ji Qian Zhuang is willing to vouch for them, provide them with the Tang Dynasty to pass the village tickets, and Li Ji Commercial Bank, willing to sell these livestock for them.

He didn't go back after he came, so he asked his son to go back.

Next, one by one, the tribes began to drag their families and drove cattle and sheep to Zhangjiakou.

For these herdsmen who moved south, Li Chao was quite polite.

He allowed the herdsmen to keep a knife each, but bows, arrows, and spears were confiscated, but a portion of the compensation was given. In addition, each household was allowed to bring a few horses south, but their other cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock were directly purchased by the imperial court.

Li Chao asked Yanyun Jiedu to make the yamen borrow money from Li Jixian and distribute livestock purchase money to the special people.

After passing the customs, the herdsmen were sent to the Central Plains in batches by the Yamen of the Jiedu envoy, and after arriving at the place, they were scattered again to resettle.

There are more than 200,000 herdsmen, but there are not many people in each of the more than 300 prefectures scattered in the 18 provinces of Datang, and there are no waves.

After arriving at the place, whether it was arranging for them to graze or plough the fields, in short, they would not be Turkic in the future, but Tang people.

Li Shimin was very satisfied with the recovery of Mo Nan.

Wanting Gu was actually made an exception by Li Shimin to seal the king of Lou Fu County, and then invited him to Xiangyang.

Su Zhi and Duluo also received the order, and when they heard that they had been crowned the king of the county, they couldn't close their smiling mouths, and now they were finally relieved.

Although the two tribes were divided into two districts and thirteen counties, they had no opinion. Anyway, whether it is a district or a county, it is still their people who are in charge.

It's not Monan, it's not like Desire Valley, I just went to Xiangyang to be an idle king, and I have no land and no population in the future.

The emperor also rewarded Li Chao.

However, Li Chao has nothing to appreciate, but he has rewarded a lot of rare treasures.

Li Shimin divided the land of Monan, including those sites that were offered when Yu She's annexed before, as the nineteenth road of the Tang Dynasty, Monan Dao.

Monan Road starts from the west end of Yanbei in the east and reaches Wolf Mountain in the south.

Basically, the northern part of the entire Yin Mountain, the southern part of the desert, and this vast area are all classified as Monan Road.

To the south of Monan Road is the Suiyuan Road of the Tang Dynasty. Suiyuan Road is the east and west of the Yellow River.

The territory of Xi and Khitan, plus Liaoxi, is in the twentieth province of the Tang Dynasty, Liaoxi Dao.

In Liaoxi Daoli, Yingzhou in Liaoxi is a state directly under the imperial court, while Xi District and Khitan District are regarded as detention districts.

The one who came to announce the decree was the eunuch Wang, the head of the palace under Li Shimin.

Eunuch Wang said to Li Chao with a smile on his face, "Li Xiang not only repelled the invasion of the Goguryeo and Turks, but also annihilated 50,000 Goguryeo people and recovered Liaoxi. Then subdued the Xi and Khitan tribes, and then took down Mo Nan bloodlessly, just more than half a year, and made such an immortal achievement, which really made the people of the world look sideways, and His Majesty was also amazed. ”

After talking for a long time, in fact, Eunuch Wang wanted to tell Li Chao something.

After the battle was over, the imperial court did not plan to let Li Chao continue to stay in the north.

"His Royal Highness the Prince Regent of the Prison Country, Xuanxiang Guo, and the class teacher of the country have returned to the court!"

Yanyun Jiedu envoy, this special yamen in charge of the military and political affairs of Kyushu, finally withdrew after the war.

The crown prince transferred Li Chao back to the court, and at the same time transferred 20,000 troops from the Northern Yashen to return to Beijing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince announced my return to the court? Isn't it Your Majesty's will? ”

Li Chao asked.

Eunuch Wang smiled.

"It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has returned to the court, but His Majesty also agrees."

Li Chao was a little puzzled, when he came, Li Shimin told him in person that resisting foreign invasion was the surface, and what really let him go north was to let him implement the new policy.

But now that the battle has just ended, Li Chao just has his hands freed, why is he announcing his return at this time?

"Has something happened to the DPRK?"

Li Chao asked.

Eunuch Wang shook his head, "Everything is fine in the court." ”

Li Chao thought for a while and couldn't come up with a reason, so he had to say, "Well, then I'll return to court today!" ”

Calculating the time, he came out this time, and it has been more than half a year.
