"It's August......" Li Xiaogong said to Xia Hongsheng: "If you are in Chang'an, you should be able to eat the prophet at this time." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info it's not that this king likes to eat, it's that Chongyi and Chongde, the two stinky boys, love to eat this mouthful. ”

Hearing Li Xiaogong say this, Xia Hongsheng knew that this general who had fought a hundred battles was also a little homesick.

Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but think of his home for the umpteenth time. I also remembered that my two daughters-in-law who had not passed the door - Zhenguan had been fixed for five years, and this saw that Zhenguan's six years were about to pass, and he had not yet married. Hey, I don't know what happened to them. Is Li Lizhi feeling better? Has Xu Hui grown taller? Did Moon Fairy compose a new song? …… Uh, who else is there, is there an An'an, good life?

The ship sailed on the sea, all the way to the south, all the way to the north.

To the south, there was an ironclad ship, and several sea ships, and the man standing at the bow of the ironclad ship had a flirtatious smile on his face, a thatch in his mouth, and a telescope in his hand. The sea ship behind was carrying boxes of weapons.

"Your Excellency!" Behind the man at the bow of the ship came a boatman and said to him: "The course is right, the mast is full, and it is expected that it will reach Linyi in half a month." ”

"What a big person!" The man bit the thatch, turned around and scolded: "Lao Tzu is the leader of the pirates, the ghost king of Zhenhai is a ghost, an old ghost!" Not...... When he arrived in Linyi, Lao Tzu had to be a pirate of the Wa Kingdom! Remember to remind Lao Tzu. ”

The man behind him nodded.

The sea breeze blows and puffs up the sails.

To the north, twelve ironclad ships are currently on board, and more than 100 sea ships are mighty, and the Tang dragon flag is flying on board.

Li Xiaogong picked up the binoculars and looked at it, put it down again, and said to Xia Hongsheng, who was also bored with the sea breeze on his side: "Do you think that the virtuous nephew thinks that it will take more time to take the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"Defeating the Wa Kingdom and capturing Fujiwara Kyo, the little nephew feels that one month is enough." Xia Hongsheng said: "But it's not clear whether this is to take the Wa Kingdom." If you hide in the mountains and nuisance guerrillas, the Tang Dynasty soldiers will chase you everywhere, and it will take some effort. ”

"Chase?" Li Xiaogong laughed, waved his big hand, and said, "No need." We can let go of the lord of the Wa Kingdom and his court for the time being. Then occupy the cities of the Wa Kingdom. Wait for the Japanese court to organize people to besiege the city, and then you can attack him instead, no matter which mountain he hides in to guerrilla. has the ability, he has hidden in the ravine for the rest of his life! As for the people of his country, if they obey the discipline of the Tang Dynasty, then it will be enough. The country of benevolence and righteousness of the Tang Dynasty will naturally be well placed and will support them. If you don't accept the discipline of the Tang Dynasty, you will follow the Japanese court and toss blindly, hehehe......"

Li Xiaogong smiled and said no more. But Xia Hongsheng felt a chill rushing through his back to his head.

After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng asked again: "Uncle, does Your Majesty really plan to completely take down the Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop?" ”

Li Xiaogong nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Since you have the ability, and you are at war with each other, why don't you take it in one fell swoop?" ”

"Then after taking it, how should we deal with the Japanese state?" Xia Hongsheng asked again.

Li Xiaogong thought for a while and replied: "According to the traditional law of the Tang Dynasty, it should be governed by the hereditary status of its tribal leaders, the autonomy of its affairs, and the tribute, but it must be loyal to the imperial court and act in accordance with the will of His Majesty. Before the conquest of the Turks, although the Turkic prisoners of war were accepted as conscription, they were still placed in the state under their own control, with the governor of Xiangdu on the left and the governor of Yunzhong on the right, and the two governments were unified. It seems that this place is a state of bondage. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, but secretly said in his heart.

The state refers to the state placed by the ancient imperial court in remote minority areas. The situation is special, because it is commonly ruled, which is different from ordinary states and counties. It is equivalent to the current autonomous region.

Bondage, Ma Luotou also; 縻, ox jing, also derives to cage control. China's establishment of the state of detention began in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty adopted a policy of restraint for some remote ethnic minorities, recognizing local indigenous nobles, making them princes and bringing them under the administration of the imperial court.

There were three types of fetters in the Tang Dynasty. The first was the establishment of prefectures and counties in areas under the military power of the Tang Dynasty, whose chiefs were hereditary by tribal leaders, autonomous in internal affairs, and tribute, but with some responsibilities, such as loyalty to the central government, providing military supplies as required, and so on. The imperial court regarded it as part of the territory, and the document was written with "edict". The second is the internal vassal state, such as Nanzhao, Huifu, etc., generally named as a khan or county king, with its own territorial scope, but the political legitimacy of its leader comes from the canonization of the Central Plains government, can not be autonomous, the Central Plains regime regards it as a subordinate, and the document uses "the emperor asks". The third is the so-called "enemy country" and "desperate country", such as Tibet, Japan, etc., although there may also be canonization, but most of them are a retrospective recognition of the actual situation, and the legitimacy of their leader's rule does not depend on the canonization of the Central Plains regime, and the documents of the Central Plains regime mostly use "the emperor respects and asks".

In the later Song Dynasty, it further strengthened its control over the prefectures and counties in the first case, and in addition to the tribal leaders, additional supervisory officials appointed by the Central Plains government. During the Yuan Dynasty, it gradually evolved into the Tusi system. After the small-scale reform of the Ming Dynasty and the large-scale reform of the Qing Dynasty, it was not until the founding of New China that the Tusi system was officially abolished.

This won't work!

Xia Hongsheng shook his head.

The essence of the prefecture is to "govern the people with local officials", recognizing the hereditary leadership status of various ethnic minorities and giving them official titles to carry out indirect rule. In fact, the imperial edict was not actually implemented. Some local officials wantonly slaughtered and killed the people on the grounds of hereditary origin, and the Han people were devastated by them and the people were poisoned by them. Tyrannical rule of the subjects internally, rebellion against the imperial court is infrequent, harassment of the Han people bordering it, and even internal fights or wars, killing each other. In fact, ethnic minorities have been divided.

In later generations, the Ming and Qing dynasties both implemented the reform of the land and the return of the stream, that is, the hereditary system of tribal leaders was abolished in places where the conditions were ripe, and prefectures and counties were established, and the imperial court sent officials to manage them, which was to solve the shortcomings left by this fetters system. Because the Tusi system in the Ming and Qing dynasties was actually the development of the fetters system, there was no essential difference.

This minority system has played a certain positive role in the absence of a high level of productive forces, inconvenient transportation, and huge differences in ethnic and cultural cultures. However, the hereditary tribal leaders were entitled, dominated one side, developed themselves with the support of the imperial court, and rebelled against the imperial court. If the court is weak, it will take advantage of the fire to strike, and if the court is strong, it will bow down to Chen Chen again, a vicious circle.

"Why did the virtuous nephew shake his head?" Li Xiaogong saw Xia Hongsheng frowning and shaking his head, so he asked.

Xia Hongsheng sighed and replied, "The little nephew thinks that this method of dealing with other tribes is not quite the right way!" ”

Li Xiaogong laughed and said, "This Japanese country hasn't been taken down yet, what are you going to do in your belly?" (To be continued.) )
