Two hundred and eighty-eight arrived at Xue Yantuo
The north of the Tang Dynasty should be regarded as very rich in vegetation, because of the lack of population and the weakness of development, so that the late Tang Dynasty only the central region was developed to the extent of collapse, and the modern quite prosperous North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain generation were not developed at all, so it can also be understood that the Tang Dynasty has been digging out the potential of the Guanzhong region for more than 200 years.
I have to say that the tragic situation of the Loess Plateau now also has a great contribution from Datang.
Suning didn't want this to happen, so during the retreat period, he also gave Li Er's Majesty a few very secret excerpts, that is, about the development of Jiangnan and North China, the order to develop Jiangnan has been implemented, and began to be implemented, although the speed is very slow, but within twenty or thirty years, Suning's lifetime, and even Li Erma's lifetime, there is hope to see the birth of the land of fish and rice, but about North China, the amount, in fact, is still relatively miserable.
Not to mention the existence of the Shandong Shi clan at this time, as early as the Warring States Period, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were called the Central Plains, which was the birthplace of Chinese civilization, the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, the political, demographic and economic centers of the two Chinese civilization Ming origin dynasties were in the North China Plain, until the Western Zhou Dynasty moved the capital to the current Chang'an region, began to strengthen the rule over the West, and established the Qin State to open up the soil, guard the West, and herd horses for Zhou Tianzi.
For a long time after that, the population and economic center of China was still in the North China Plain, and the confrontation between the famous Six Kingdoms of Shandong and the Qin State of Shanxi also entered the Warring States Period because of this, but since the destruction of the Six Kingdoms by Qin. The political and economic center of China gradually shifted to the west, Chang'an and Luoyang became the symbol of the powerful power of the central government, whether it was the Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms or the Jin Dynasty, all to Chang'an and Luoyang as the political economy, the development of Guanzhong began at that time, the earliest country of abundance is Guanzhong, not Shu.
Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, the Shandong region has ceased to be the most important place of concern of the government, and the Guanzhong region is the most important place, and the development of the Shandong region has been stranded. In addition, during that period of time, the land of China had not been unified for hundreds of years. Therefore, there is no need to mention the development of Shandong, until the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the world was unified, and finally settled. However, the Sui Dynasty's development focus was still on the Guanzhong region. The Guanzhong-based policy was continued by several dynasties of the Northern Dynasties.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan looked at the situation in the world, and finally decided to continue the development of Guanzhong, and Li Er's majesty ascended the throne at the beginning. It was also decided to develop Guanzhong as the main task, and the rest of the land could be placed temporarily, without worry, but Suning said that the development of the Jiangnan region and the North China region is the top priority, and in the near future, it can provide a large amount of grain, and in the distance, when the land in the Guanzhong region can no longer maintain the implementation of the equalization system, the vast land in the North China Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain can make up for the temporary shortage.
And a more important point is that in the excerpt handed over by Suning, it is also mentioned that most of the Northeast region is now occupied by Goguryeo, and Suning has made a more detailed description of the fertile soil and relatively good hydrological conditions in North China, and the development of Jiangnan and North China can actually be carried out together, and Xiangyang is set up in Jiangnan as the accompanying capital, and in North China, Suning also proposed to Li Er's Majesty to choose an important city as a companion capital, and the development of North China and Northeast China at the same time.
This is the future Beiping, Beijing, the political and economic center of China for hundreds of years from the fourteenth century, in the present time, under the jurisdiction of Youzhou Prefecture, and most importantly, the nest of the Fan Yang Lu clan, which has the most fierce conflict with Suning, is in Youzhou! Therefore, after Suning suggested that His Majesty Li Erlu pacify the Shandong Shi clan, he would set up the northern capital of the Tang Dynasty in Fanyang, Youzhou, and change its name to Beijing!
Today's Fanyang, the strategic location is very important, Suning pointed out that at present, the last piece of land in the Tang Dynasty is still in the hands of Waiyi, that is, the Northeast region, the Liaodong region, at this time in the hands of Goguryeo, and this land, from the pre-Qin era is our territory in China, now, the world is unified, only a corner of the northeast, you can be a Kuang Jiuhe, the world is auspicious, Liaodong region, including Goguryeo, are our future goals.
This is the same as the starting point of Tang Taizong's campaign to conquer Goguryeo in history, Goguryeo has always been a subject state of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the Central Plains Dynasty has never admitted that they and the Central Plains Dynasty can sit on an equal footing, but in this era, ten years later, Goguryeo will become a hegemon in the Northeast and become the main opponent of the Tang Dynasty in East Asia, which triggered the idea that Tang Taizong wanted to take back all the Northeast in his lifetime.
Therefore, starting a few months ago, His Majesty Li Er's General Staff ordered the General Staff Headquarters to prepare a sand table map of the Liaodong region at the same time, study the possibility and strategy and tactics of a war against Liaodong, and especially draw lessons from the three expeditions of Emperor Yang of Sui to Goguryeo, and not repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang of Sui.
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er began to seriously consider whether it was necessary to set up a companion capital in the north, and also set up in Fanyang Lu's lair, set up in Youzhou, Suning's opinion is that Zhou can be built into an important town in the north, to the northeast can be connected to the Liaodong region, to the north can be confronted by ethnic minorities, to build an important city for the Great Wall defense line, and to the south can deter the remnants of the Shandong Shi clan, so that they dare not act rashly, honestly accept the transformation, and to the west can connect the prairie. It has become an important transit station for the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty and the Eastern Expedition, and its strategic position is quite important.
And for this reason, the first step is to level the Shandong Shi clan, really obtain the right to rule and jurisdiction over this area, eliminate the hegemony of the Shandong Shi clan for many years, and truly control the rich land of Shandong.
Take advantage of this time to destroy the Shandong family, control Shandong, develop Shandong, set up Beijing, and prepare for the war against Xue Yantuo and the war of Goguryeo in Liaodong. Then it can become a fairly important war city, and the pre-war preparations, wartime supplies, and post-war construction are all indispensable for the existence of an important city.
Suning went north to Xue Yantuo this time, although it will not pass through Youzhou, but it will also watch the geography and culture of Shandong along the way, laying the foundation for future rule, although the Tang Dynasty controls almost one-third of the officials and regions in Shandong, but the dominant power is still in the hands of the Shandong scholars. More than one official has expressed the magnitude of the obstacles to enacting policies and exercising rule.
For this. You must be ready, and you must go to meet Cui Xiaoyi, this betrayer, how much energy does he have. can be exchanged for the lives of so many people in the Shandong Shi clan. If it weren't for him. Suning believes that the most important big families, except for the two counties of the Li family, are unexpected. will be washed away by blood, and then all of them will be controlled by Li Er's henchmen, which is not only unacceptable to Cui Xiaoyi, but also unacceptable to Suning himself.
How sure was he? If it is done, Suning may really be able to save the lives of those people, but as for Li Er's considerations, then we have to think about it carefully.
Fifteen days, Suning led the mission to the place of the alliance in fifteen days, a group of soldiers and fifteen young people, there is no reason to take the carriage to swallow slowly, although the officials along the way also want to stay with Suning for a few more days, and then see if there is a chance to go to Sanyuan County or a certain county in Yongzhou, it is all excellent.
But Suning didn't stay, Li Er's majesty gave him this power, there is no reason to relax his vigilance, he will definitely pay attention to his every move, if he exudes arrogance, maybe he will be very unhappy, because his test of himself is not only his era, but also Li Chengqian's era, at this time, with his own cleverness, he will not think that he will be arrogant at all, if he is arrogant and starts to make friends with officials, then it will be troublesome.
Suning was honest, he didn't enter the city until sunset, he left as soon as it was dawn, and he didn't give those officials too many opportunities to make friends, so he hurried and hurried away, rushing to Xue Yantuo as soon as possible, just to see that rebel, that outlier, listen to his plans, and see his strength.
Along the way, except for fighting, hunting some game and eating meat, there is nothing, everyone is about to grow up, Wei Chigong, the animal is about to have children, so the calmness of being a man is gradually reflected in them, especially the education of the military academy, the general's example, they will become very good military talents, of course, Suning feels that Changsun Chong and Li Zhen are not only military talents, but also their parents, Yunwen Yunwu.
This is the reason why Changsun Chong and Li Zhen were appointed as Suning's left and right deputy envoys, and it is also the idea of His Majesty Li Er.
When I arrived at the location of the Xue Yantuo Alliance, it was noon, and a small force was sent to Xue Yantuo to see the great Khan Yi Nan with the tokens given by Li Er Majesty, so when Suning arrived, Yi Nan had already arrived at the door of the camp with a group of people, and wanted to greet Suning with the most solemn etiquette and welcome the Tang Mission, and the cavalry report showed that the Western Turkic United Business Group and the Shandong United Business Group had arrived, and the Guanzhong Joint Business Group had not yet arrived, but there was only one day left.
So when Suning arrived here, the representatives of the Western Turkic United Business Group and the representatives of the Shandong Family also greeted Suning together, and the representative of the West Turkic United Business Group, Suning, knew that it was Xu Yao, and the representative of the Shandong Family Group, Suning, also knew that it was the old man who delivered the letter that night, and Suning didn't know what his name was, but since he appeared, it was a signal from Cui Xiaoyi to himself.
With the ancient and bizarre music sounded, a large number of Xue Yantuo people danced their dance, for this dance, Suning is no stranger, Li Er Majesty caught Jieli back and put it in the palace to watch him dance, and this dance, and Jieli's dance is very similar, it should be a kind of dance that welcomes guests on behalf of goodwill, after a dazzling welcome ceremony, about forty years old, gray hair, strong body, wearing a leather jacket Xue Yantuo Pearl Khan Yi Nan appeared in front of Suning.
To tell the truth, it is impossible for Suning not to be excited, and it is impossible not to be nervous, Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan is now the overlord of the northern Tang Dynasty, and it is also the second most powerful country after the Tang Dynasty.
Suning is very jealous of this guy.
Of course, Yi Nan will not underestimate Suning, the Tang envoy wrote that the main envoy this time is a marquis who is only sixteen years old, the youngest marquis in the Tang Dynasty, called Suning, as soon as he heard this name, Yi Nan knew that the matter was not very easy to solve, because although his age was pitiful, but the Tang Emperor still sent him over, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was definitely a hero, and there was only one reason to be able to send this little child.
This little child's ability will be beyond his imagination...... (To be continued......)
