For the huge Tang Dynasty, the Hetao was a region of chicken ribs. The output of land is better than that of wasteland, but it is far less than that of Guanzhong, let alone Hedong.

Another one, all ethnic groups live together, and the barbarians with Huyan as the surname alone have three branches and 17 tribes of Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Shanqiang. When Wu Denian was in the year, Li Yuan wanted to effectively control this place, but because of the existence of the Turks, several efforts failed.

Now because of the collapse of the Turks, the remnants of the Western Turks belong to a loose alliance more than the state, and there is no need to worry at all.

Since Li Shimin wants to be the first emperor of the ages, he naturally has to think from the perspective of the emperor, why the first emperor set up Jiuyuan County here, and why Hangao and Han Wu have to hammer nails here. In the later Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu declined, why did the Southern Xiongnu belong here.

Northland Gateway.

I have to say that since ancient times, the political core has been revolving between Chang'an and Luoyang. Those who are unambitious must use the north as a barrier in order to continue to be drunk and dreaming of death. Those who are ambitious and heroic want to use the north as a fist and attack at any time.

Li Shimin decided to set up the Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate here to serve as a barrier for the Kannai Road. Bounded by Helan Mountain, Yin Mountain, and Dahe, it can be expanded at any time by adding the Governor's Mansion in the grassland and Monan areas. The residence of the Metropolitan Governor's Office was established within the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office in Unchu, that is, between the Kannai Province and the East Canal, which was convenient for control.

The premise of this idea is still money and food, and the other is that all the tribes have been thoroughly infiltrated into a sieve by the Tang Dynasty. However, although the Turks have been wiped out now, the influence of the Ashina family is still there, and the steppe is not peaceful, and the tribes are not convinced, at least unconvinced.

Therefore, now is not the time to set up a single Yu Du Protectorate to block the grassland tribes, because once the Tang Dynasty does this, it means that it will completely annex the territory and population of all ethnic groups, which can easily stimulate the fragile hearts of the grassland barbarians.

Although Datang is strong, there are not many enemies and potential opponents on all sides, and with Zhenguan's financial resources for three years, it can only support two-way operations.

Therefore, both the internal and external dynasties are restoring production in the north and encouraging the increase of population, and at the same time, they also hope that there will be effective ways to migrate to the real border.

In fact, the best way to attack political opponents is to gain a foothold in the imperial court, and the politicians who can gain a foothold in the imperial court are often local clans. Taking Pei Lin as an example, after stepping down, he went to the west, and he was alone on the surface, but there were 400 scholars and more than 1,000 servants who followed.

This is still the result of Li Dong's subordinates who can no longer be merciful.

If Pei Lian's whole family is distributed, the population of the border alone will be at least more than 10,000.

This is the Maison.

However, there are not many families that Li Shimin can start now, whether it is Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Wumen Qiwang, the old clan in the south, or the people of the Fanbang clan, in the four years of Zhenguan, they have all recognized the legitimacy of the emperor. No matter how much you have an idea in your heart, at least for one or two decades, you won't see any opportunities.

Moreover, because Li Yuan also took a piece of white sugar from Zhang De, the days of the forbidden palace concubine were not as tight as before Zhenguan two years ago. Li Yuan was very satisfied, and even with the last bit of ambition, he was also sweetened by the sugar.

Therefore, unless Li Dong is mad and wants to deduct wages and fire employees, in the short term, there is no way to flood the border by squeezing courtiers.

In this context, as well as the common needs of the internal and external dynasties, Zhang Gongjin came down from the position of the governor of Daizhou, and as the former deputy of Li Jing, he served as the governor of Xiangzhou.

Originally, this governor of Xiangzhou was going to play with Wei Chi Gong, but in October of last year, a new state was added to Monan, west of the Dihe River and north of the Great Wall, just outside the mouth east of Yinshan.

Coincidentally, this new state is called Beixiangzhou.

So Zhongshu Ling suggested to the emperor that east of Beixiangzhou was a mixture of Khitan and Xi people, and occasionally the Yan people and the Mengwu people crossed the border, and the Goguryeo people often came over.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a person who knows the soldiers and is good at guarding and being good at making friends with long-term strategies.

It's definitely not revenge, it's definitely a public heart.

So, Uncle Zhang Gongjin didn't see Yun Mengze, didn't see Wushan, or anything, so he was ordered by the giants to go to the newly added Beixiangzhou to support the emperor.

However, Uncle Zhang's popularity is good, a group of buddies take a look at you, Wen Yanbo is cheap enough, what's the big deal if you are scolded by your nephew and the whole family dies, as for sending Uncle Zhang to eat sand in retaliation like this?

There are not many bigwigs staying in the capital at this time, and Li Tao and Cheng Zhijie are not enough for Wen Yanbo to alone. There was no way, Cheng Yanjin thought that Zhang Hongshen was interesting enough to him, so he found Qin Qiong, who was still living in Wuzhuangguan, and brought a lot of "native products" to visit Fang Xuanling.

When a king-level character comes out, the effect is different. At the court meeting just after Zhengdan, everyone was still resting, but Fang Qiao went to the emperor alone and talked for a long time, and Zhang Gongjin's rank was promoted from the governor of Beixiangzhou to the number one of the governors of Dingxiang.

The area has expanded more than tenfold, and the Monan grassland north of the Great Wall of Hebei Province has been included in it. The Khitan Department and the Xi Department have three percent chasing pasture here.

The northernmost boundary is set at the edge of the desert, with the big soil bag of Guanyin Mountain as the dividing line, and to the north is the steppe where the Mongwu and Turkic people used to live.

Later, Wen Yanbo was not idle, so he continued to write the book, which means that if the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion is established, in order to avoid irritating the Khitan and other tribes, follow the old practice and restrain the rule.

This time, it annoyed Fang Xuanling.

Fang Mou is decided, Fang Qiao Simou doesn't say that Datang is the first, but there are really not many people who can play with him. Wen Yanbo's hand, in the eyes of Cheng Yanjin and others, is nothing more than to rectify Zhang Gongjin.

However, Fang Qiao knew very well that Wen Yanbo wanted to establish his authority, and suppressed the state-level figures with less than a year of Zhongshu Order. At the same time, among the many Zaifu, he flashed his minions and reminded Shang Shuling and the left and right servants of his sense of existence.

The dignity of the Heavenly King is something that no one can provoke except the Emperor. So Fang Qiao did not take the initiative to come forward, but ordered someone to contact the eldest grandson Wuji.

On the 10th day of the first month, it was still a holiday, but the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion, which should have been a feudal nature in the past, was directly promoted by one level, that is to say, if Zhang Gongjin was appointed as the governor of the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion, he would not be the governor of the lower capital, but the governor of the middle capital.

In this way, except for Bie Jia and Sima, Zhang Gongjin can either recommend and recommend the remaining positions, or directly appoint them.

The whole twenty real shortages are waiting to be filled, not to mention, it is equivalent to the imperial court vetoing the rule of the grassland and desert areas north of Hebei Province. As for the anger and uproar of the barbarians...... Compared with the open and secret battles of the imperial court, it is a fart.

Uncle Zhang Gongjin couldn't help himself, and within half a month, the area under his jurisdiction changed from south to north. The jurisdiction has expanded dozens of times and is dozens of times more complex.

Of course, the benefits are not without it.

The governor of the middle capital is a positive three products, genuine.

At least nominally, as long as you get the letter of appointment and meet Wen Yanbo, there is nothing to be afraid of, one level.

However, for Zhang De, who doesn't know all this, it is his uncle who has been promoted again and has become a governor, and he is quite big.

Zhang Gongjin, who had the ups and downs of life in the first month, felt extremely tired of all this: so tired, I felt that I would not love anymore.

Of course, everyone wins. Zhang Gongjin was promoted, Wen Yanbo established his authority, Fang Xuanling bared his teeth, the eldest grandson Wuji brushed his sense of existence, His Majesty the Emperor continued to be wise and martial, and Lao Zhang could hold his uncle's thigh and use his power for personal gain, mixing cheap wool from the eastern region.

The only people who suffered heavy losses were the Khitans, Xianbei, Turks, Muguls, Xi, and Goguryeo...... However, no one in the inner and outer dynasties cared whether they were proud or disappointed, happy or defeated.

They were characterized as human for less than half a year.

Zhang Gongjin set off in February, but Zhang De went to Huaiyuan City with a ticket in advance, where the broad-minded Ashina Simo was waiting for him.

The price has been negotiated, anyway, Li Simo doesn't have any psychological pressure to sell the clansmen now, because they are all loyal dogs of the Qiangli Khan, they are remnants, remnants, of course, they must be defeated. Besides, his current name is Li Simo and he is Han...... A loyal servant of the Emperor.

However, Chang'an City has no children's rhyme king, no "timely rain", no race captain Chi Xiao Zhang Fei, no Oba, all of them are spicy and imperfect.

Lao Zhang made an appointment for a great cause, Princess Anping originally wanted to listen to Zhang Dalang sing poetry, dress up beautifully and go to Zhang's mansion, and all she saw were a group of spies who were ready to steal the craft from the sugar workshop.

Of course, although Uncle Tan is not here, and the four bodyguards have also left, the level of security has doubled. Because the security guards here are all from the left and right camps, their nickname is "Flying Cavalry", and their title is "Hundred Cavalry".

The security guard wearing a black armor and a steel milk hood will ask you if you are afraid, if you are afraid!

"Lady, why don't you play?"

The female officer who was waiting for Princess Changle asked strangely when she saw Xiao Gongju getting off the merry-go-round.

"Don't play, it's boring, I'm going to find Yeye and ask him to catch Zhang Lang back."

After that, the little public act with a skirt and a fresh and tender atmosphere ran to the chairman's office and strongly asked Chang'an Oba to come back.
