Li Jing saw that the teacher Cui Yunqing's smooth forehead was sweating slightly, and he still hadn't come back to his senses for Li Jing's tough statement just now. "If Wuhu refuses to agree just now, what should the king do? Lao Yu still feels that this matter is a little immature, and this matter should first be raised by the officials of the Shangshu Provincial Ministry of Rites to Chief Wuhu. That way, whether they agree or not, there's still room for negotiation. In the end, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, it will not damage the prestige of King Qin. And just now, you just made a strong statement, in case the other party refused, there was no room for maneuver in this matter, if the most reckless one really broke up, what was lost was the prestige of the king. He rode next to Li Jing's BMW and persuaded, "Now that you are the king of Qin, there are some things that should not be said by you, everything must have a set of rules, and you must act according to the rules." He flicked his sleeves, rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, and then turned back and said: "Or, if Your Highness is not satisfied with Lao Yu and Ziming taking charge of the affairs of Shangshu Province, you can also say that Lao Yu is willing to abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

"Teacher, don't get me wrong." Li Jing smiled gently.

He kicked the horse, "I was a little ill-conceived about this matter, and I didn't get angry with the teacher beforehand." Li Jing's horse understood what he meant, and walked to the side of the road and stopped.

Waiting for Cui Yunqing to come over on horseback, Li Jing said: "This king thinks that in fact, these Hu people have no way out to vote, and the teacher should also know that these Hu people come to attach, although it is beneficial for a while, but in the long run, they are hidden dangers in the border area, if they are not properly settled, they will become border troubles sooner or later." Sui time. The Sui Emperor adopted the strategy of combining the weak and separating the strong. Use stratagem to divide the Eastern and Western Turks. So that the powerful sudden division has been unable to unify. It was a good strategy, but they clearly made a mistake in their strategy of accommodating the defeated Turkic tribes. The Sui Emperor just blindly ceded the border places, such as Dingxiang, Dali, Yinshan, and Yunzhong, to the Turkic grazing. As a result, the worst one became a confidant. For example, Shibi Khan, who once besieged Emperor Yang in Yanmen, was the son of Qimin Khan, who was defeated in the Turkic civil war and was attached to the Sui Dynasty. After the surrender of Qimin Khan to Sui. The Sui Dynasty moved them to the northern part of Yinshan Mountain, and married two princesses to him, that is, Shibi Khan, who was also a princess of the Sui Dynasty. But after decades of recuperation, the Qimin Khan tribe became strong and immediately bit back the Sui Dynasty, and 400,000 cavalry surrounded the Sui Emperor Yang Guangyu Yanmen. Even later, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, almost all the northern heroes borrowed troops from the Turkic ministers to ask for support. ”

Li Jing shook his head as he spoke, "Later, although the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks. But on the issue of resettlement, it is also a big mistake. Eventually, the later post-Turkic restoration of the country was unstable. These are all lessons from the past, and the coming of the Wuhu tribe is of great significance, and we cannot turn them away. But we can't settle like the Sui and Tang dynasties used to. Therefore, although my statement was a bit tough, it was actually intended to be done once and for all. Incorporate their troops, not only take away their military power, but also recruit those well-mounted Hu cavalry to join our cavalry units, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of our cavalry. And to move them internally to the provinces, states and counties, and to disrupt the relocation is also to prevent them from forming a force, and we must completely assimilate them and not give them any chance. ”

"I believe that the strategy you proposed must have been well thought out, in fact, King Qin, you have always had an amazing talent in the overall situation. At the very least, you've rarely made mistakes in your big-picture judgments. I don't want to disagree with that. Cui Yunqing looked a little tired and annoyed, "Your strategy is right, but this shouldn't be mentioned by you at all." You are the king of Qin, and there is Shangshu Province below you, as well as the cabinet, as well as the General Staff and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. The left and right servants, the left and right officials, the six Shangshu, the four halls, the cabinet scholars, and other officials are originally here to help you deal with these affairs. Do you still think that you are just a town general and a thorn history? Do you have to do everything yourself? ”

"Nope." Li Jing shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who acted Meng Lang."

"I know what you're thinking." Cui Yunqing's tone softened, "Ji Yu, now that you are the King of Qin, you control three points of the world, and your identity has changed, you should pay attention to yourself." On the other hand, you have personally formulated a series of systems in the Qin Domain, which are very good, but in the end you don't follow them, how can others abide by them? ”

Cui Yunqing was very much in favor of a series of reforms in the official system and military system formulated by Li Jing. The core of these systems formulated by Li Jing is decentralization and balance. According to these systems, in fact, Li Jing, the king, is not arbitrary, and the provincial cabinet and the court are to balance Li Jing's rights.

Today, Li Jing decided to annex Wuhu without going through Shangshu Province or the cabinet in advance, which couldn't help but make Cui Yunqing a little worried. This is not to say that Cui Yunqing is in love with power, but is worried about the change in Li Jing's attitude, whether it is slowly arrogant and conceited because of the growing power of the Qin Domain. There are some things that other civil and military officials are not easy to talk about, and only he is suitable to rely on the old and sell the old with the help of Mr. Li Jing's qualifications to mention them.

"San Lang, now that Chief Wuhu has agreed, do you think they are sincere?"

"Of course it won't be sincere, it's just a last resort, and there is no better choice." Li Jing chuckled, "But no matter what, since they agreed, then we can't give them a chance to regret it." The matter of the reorganization of soldiers and horses should be started immediately, and the population of Wuhu should be more than 1.1 million. Almost all of the adult men were warriors, and a few of them could serve as cavalrymen. Even men between the ages of twelve and sixty can go to war. There are at least 300,000 young and strong men in the Wuhu tribe. If we recruit with all our might, we can recruit at least 200,000 Hu warriors, and at least 100,000 of them can recruit elite cavalry. ”

Although the soldiers were brave, the loyalty of the soldiers has always been a problem, and the Shatuo, Sogdian, Uighur, Tuyuhun, Tiele, and Tatar were also foreign mercenary elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they were much stronger than most Han troops. But when it comes to loyalty, but it is not reliable, the Shatuo tribe is a lesson from the past. The Anshi Rebellion of that year was basically a rebellion of soldiers and generals. Our Qin army now has about 50,000 troops, and if we recruit another 100,000 or even 200,000 soldiers. I'm afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable. There's a risk of getting out of control. Cui Yunqing frowned.

The soldiers were very strong. Especially cavalry.

It was not easy to recruit and train a cavalryman from the Han Chinese. Many Han Chinese people do not know how to ride horses before they are recruited into the army, and it takes at least three to five years to train a common man who has never ridden a horse into an excellent cavalryman who is proficient in riding and archery. This time is long, and many times, when the war situation is tense, there will not be such a calm time to recruit soldiers and train slowly.

And Fan Bing is different. Most of the Hu people are nomadic tribes, and some are nomadic tribes. They grew up on horseback, were natural riders, and almost everyone could shoot a bow and arrow. Riding and archery are their basic abilities.

Recruiting these Hu people into the army, although in order to become a qualified cavalryman, they also had to undergo training to transform from a herdsman to a cavalryman, learning formations, marching, etc. But with a good foundation, they can basically pass in half a year. In one year, it can be equivalent to more than five years of training for Han soldiers.

Although the cavalry units of the Qin army were expanded several times. But until now, among the 360,000 Qin troops, there are only 100,000 cavalry troops. Moreover, these 100,000, and almost 60,000 are newly trained cavalry, which is not elite. It's not that Li Jing doesn't want to build more cavalry troops, Li Jing has horses, and after owning the Northeast region, Li Jing has a sufficient supply of war horses. But there was a lack of good cavalry. Even if there are 100,000 cavalry now, there are still a large number of cavalry of various ethnic groups in the northeast.

Therefore, for Li Jing, this Wuhu came to vote, in fact, he was also looking forward to it.

Hundreds of thousands of Hu people are young and strong, and they can completely expand a cavalry army.

Moreover, Hu has a strong physique, and even if he is incorporated into the infantry army, he also has an innate advantage over the Han people.

"I know that too." Li Jing nodded, although the Hu people have a greater physical advantage than the Han people, they also have a great disadvantage. One is loyalty, and the other is discipline. Discipline can be constrained by military regulations, but loyalty is difficult to cultivate in a short period of time. "I don't intend to have these soldiers in their own armies, but to organize them into the original cavalry or infantry armies. In each army, there must be a bottom line for the proportion of Han and Tibet, to ensure the absolute superiority of the Han army, and even if it is a Fan army, all tribes must be dispersed, and they must not let their single tribe have too many people. In addition, it is planned to transfer some Tibetan leaders to deputy posts at all levels at the middle and lower levels, such as the battalion capital team, to strengthen control. ”

"I'm not familiar with the affairs of the army, you can discuss the details in detail with the General Staff and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Military Department, the old man believes that His Highness has this ability." Cui Yunqing looked at Li Jing with some appreciation, he clearly found that this protΓ©gΓ© did not become arrogant and conceited because of success, he still kept a clear head, considered the problem very carefully, and treated his subordinates very modestly, which was the state of a Ming Jun.

"However, as for the dispersal and relocation of the people of the five tribes to the provinces, states and counties, and to disperse the resettlement, I am afraid that the current situation is not very optimistic. We have just survived this cold winter, and our reserves are almost depleted. It is a big project to resettle millions of Hu people to various provinces, states and counties all of a sudden. ”

"I know it." Li Jing said helplessly: "Compared with recruiting Hu soldiers, it is indeed much more troublesome to settle these Hu people. But we must not be afraid of trouble, so we will place them in Liaoxi and Liaodong and assign them pastures. This approach will never work, and in less than ten or twenty years, those territories will no longer be ours. Therefore, not only do we have to move, but we also have to start moving immediately, and we must not delay, otherwise, it is very likely that we will delay again and again, and when these Hu people have recovered and settled down, they will not go again. In this regard, I have to worry about the teacher and Shangshu to deal with it. ”

In the evening, Li Jing held a grand dinner in the palace of the king of Qin, and almost all the important people in Yanjing City were invited to come together to wash the dust for the chiefs and nobles of the Wuhu tribe.

The dinner was held in the Crystal Palace, the annex of the Qin Palace, which was not too big, but it was extremely luxurious.

Because it is a large hall made of glass, it feels like you are in the crystal palace of the dragon king. Although glass products have now gone to thousands of households, they are no longer a high-end luxury. But building a large hall with glass is still amazing. However, in fact, the order volume of the glass factory on Dengzhou Island has dropped sharply, and the start of operation is somewhat insufficient. Li Jing built a large hall with glass, which actually cost not much capital, but this other hall, which is located not far from the Qin Wangfu in Yanjing City, has become a living advertisement. And. This palace Li Jing also let him operate externally. Host a banquet. Therefore, it is actually a very profitable business.

However, the nobles of the Wuhu tribe who were invited to come were still shocked when they entered this crystal palace that was shining and radiant.

"Bell, bell!"

At these moments, cautiously, for fear of accidentally bumping into a group of barbarian aristocrats who had just bumped into the cushions of the down sofas, they suddenly heard a loud bell in their ears. Immediately they all got up.

"Alarm bells. Not good, enemy attack! "Many Hu people went to touch the knife, but they touched the light. I remembered that before entering the temple, all the weapons had been left outside.

The melodious bell has been echoing, but the nobles of the Wuhu tribe are jumping and panicking. Some people even thought that this was a signal from Li Jing, the king of Qin, to besiege them in one fell swoop.

When the bell stopped, there was no large group of Qin troops rushing in, with the careful explanation of the officials of the Qin Domain's Ministry of Rites. They blushed and realized that the bell just now was not the one that had been struck by each other. It's not an alarm bell, it's another kind of clock, a clock that automatically tells the time. The bell rang seven times just now, and that meant seven o'clock in the evening. That's exactly the time of day! That is, a watch day at night.

The eyes of the Hu Man widened, and they couldn't believe that there was such a magical thing. However, when Li Jing beckoned to give a batch of exquisite gold pocket watches to each of the Wuhu nobles present, these people held gold pocket watches with very funny expressions on their faces. The pocket watch is in my hand, and I am really afraid of falling in my hand, and I am afraid of melting in my mouth.

However, after this episode, these Wuhu aristocrats who originally thought that Li Jing took advantage of the fire to rob and take the opportunity to swallow them were all suddenly suppressed by Li Jing's generosity, and the eyes staring at the pocket watch occasionally looked at Li Jing's gaze, full of awe.

When the nobles proposed that their usual interests would be lost if their people were scattered and relocated.

"Oh, don't worry, friends." Cui Yunqing and Yan Yuese took the initiative to answer for Li Jing, "After your subordinates move to the states, the King of Qin will not forget you." We will grant you official ranks and titles according to the size of the king's original pastures and the number of people in the kings, and give you land and manors. From now on, you will be a member of the nobility of the Tang Empire, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire. And for your livestock, horses, etc. on the border, we are also willing to bid for them and trade them to the banknotes, gold, and silver that pass through the Qin Realm. Moreover, as long as you wish, you can also join the government and army of my Qin domain. As long as the assessment is qualified, the position will be awarded according to ability, and everyone will be treated equally. ”

Cui Yunqing laughed loudly, he had done a lot of assassinations, and served as a festival envoy, and he was born in the top wealthy Cui family, so he spoke very gracefully, and the etiquette was good, which made people feel like a spring breeze. He first carefully described the many advantages of becoming nobles under the rule of King Qin after the nobles of various tribes accepted the title of King of Qin, and explained that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, especially the nobles under the rule of Li Jing, the king of Qin, would far surpass the many benefits of being a tribal leader on the grassland outside the Saiwai. "In addition, from now on, you are the Tang Dynasty and the nobles of the Qin Domain. Qin Fan is the first feudal clan in the world, as the nobles of Qin Domain, you no longer have to worry about snow disasters, famine, plague, war, robbery, etc., from now on you have a stable life, a rich life, good wine, beautiful people to accompany you, what more can you ask for in this life? ”

In addition to the arrangements for the nobles, Cui Yunqing also described to them the many benefits of their people after they moved inward. After moving to the mainland, they no longer rely on the sky for food, and each Hu family can get a large piece of land belonging to them, establish their own farms, and their annual life is guaranteed.

Moreover, from then on, like all the people of the Qin Domain, they had the qualifications to take the exam and become officials. They can also go to the army, make meritorious contributions in the army, be promoted to knighthood, establish meritorious deeds, and establish a family business. "As long as you can make meritorious deeds, you will be rewarded. Not only can you become a captain, a general, but you can even become a marshal. As a result, you will also become the founding uncle of the Tang Dynasty, the founding marquis, and even the founding county prince, the national prince and other meritorious ministers. ”

Hearing this kind of beautiful prospects, most of the Hu leaders were already intoxicated. Many people are even thinking about how majestic it would be if they could become the founding marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and they should not be the founding marquis, even if they could be crowned the founding uncle.

The banquet was very lively, but most of the Hu people's wine tonight was a little tasteless, and everyone was drunk if the wine was not drunk, and they had been immersed in the various beautiful future scenes described to them by the Tang Dynasty Taishi and Guogong Cui Yunqing.

Through the window, Li Jing heard the laughter and conversation of the ladies in the side hall. Tonight, Li Jing pushed Cui Yunqing to the front of the stage, trying to maintain that high position. There is no doubt that the Wuhu nobles have been completely dizzy by Cui Yunqing's three-inch incorruptible tongue, and the matter has been successful. His attention was also diverted from the Hu leaders who had been smirking, and he seemed to faintly hear Liu Yunniang's voice in the voice from the side hall just now. I don't know what happened, but she seemed to be laughing, and she was smiling happily and heartily.

Li Jing, who drank a lot of wine tonight, was slightly drunk, and was in a good mood, a wisp of his heart suddenly flew up with that nice laughter! (To be continued......)
