"Teacher! Fight, we must fight. In addition to the 50,000 Tang Dynasty troops in the Western Region, there are also more than 200,000 servants. As long as we get the position of Protector of Beiting, we will have 300,000 usable troops in our hands. Even if If anything happens in the future, you can have a strong support." As soon as Li Taigang walked into the study, he yelled at Cen Wenwen urgently.
"Fight? What are you fighting for? Are you going?" Cen Wenwen didn't put down the pen in his hand or even raise his eyelids.
"Gu! Of course I can't go!" As soon as Cen Wenwen said this, Li Tai suddenly felt like an eggplant beaten by frost. He could go to Liaodong, but he couldn't go to the Western Region. Putting the harsh natural environment aside for now, even if Li Tai is willing to go to the Western Regions to eat sand. Li Er would not agree that such a prince would risk his life by sitting on the crater.
??If there is an accident in the Western Region and Li Tai is killed. For Tang Guo, it was an undying hatred. Li Er only wanted to maintain a stable rule, and did not want to kill all the people in the Western Regions now.
"Of course Your Highness can't go, the Western Region is far away. If Your Highness goes, you can split the earth and become the king. Then the Western Region will not be Jisuzhou, but an independent kingdom. Your Majesty will not allow such a thing to happen. The nobles of the Tang Dynasty would not allow such a thing to happen.
"A matter that is collectively rejected by His Majesty and the nobles of the Tang Dynasty will never succeed.
Furthermore, the Western Region is thousands of miles away. And there is no train there, even if His Highness has something to do in the future. Can you really mobilize the Western Region Army into Chang'an? I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter Yumen Pass!
So this is a useless job, no one wants to do it. If you insist on inserting someone, His Majesty will be suspicious of you. I will be resented by the soldiers. The place in the Western Region is far less prosperous than Guanzhong. Whoever you send there to eat sand will not resent you. Even if something really happened in the future, it would be possible to imitate Zhao Tuo of Qin and paint a local king, and go to Beijing to serve the king? Disaster! "
Cen Wenwen¡¯s words made Li Tai freeze. He did not expect that his political wisdom would be so immature. Fortunately, I didn't speak in the main hall today, otherwise I would offend anyone I recommended. Who wants to go to the Western Regions to eat sand without waiting in Guanzhong?
"Then let's not fight for this position. Whoever wants to fight can fight for it." Thinking of this, Li Tai also felt relieved. He sat on the chair and personally lit a cigarette for Cen Wenwen. The tea cup next to him was also pushed towards Cen Wenwen.
"It's good that Your Highness thinks so, but it's not enough. If this memorial is suitable for Your Highness, then copy it quickly and send it to the palace overnight to present it to His Majesty." Cen Wenwen picked up what he had just written. He carefully dried the ink stains and handed it to Li Tai.
Li Taina looked at it once, and immediately stood up and said anxiously: "Teacher! It's okay if our people don't take this position. That Zhang Liang is wearing the same trousers as Wu Wangke, how can we recommend him?"
"Haha! That place in Beiting is the barrier of Yumen Pass. Someone has to go there. Since our people are not willing to go, then let's recommend the King of Wu's people to go. Zhang Liang is the Duke of the country, and he is also a former member of the Qin Palace. There is no problem with loyalty, and there is no problem with official status. If he doesn't go, who else can go?
¡°Besides, once Zhang Liang returns to Beijing, won¡¯t he be Wu Wangke¡¯s helper? If he sends it out early now, he won't be able to come back for at least three to five years. Wu Wangke lost an arm, which made it much easier to deal with him. Your Majesty's plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves will eventually fail. "Cen Wenwen explained to Li Tai with a smile that this strategy came up when he knew that Beiting was going to re-select the governor.
"High! This is a clever move, teacher. None of the veterans are willing to go. Now the only one who can go is Zhang Liang. His Majesty will definitely agree. Look at the truth. After Li Ke learns that Zhang Liang is sent away, what will he do? What expression?" Li Tai said "hey" and "hey" and smiled, quite gloatingly.
"The one who also asked the master for advice was Li Zhi. The two met in an underground secret room. The flickering candlelight gave the secret room a sense of conspiracy.
"Teacher! You want me to recommend myself to Beiting?" Li Zhi couldn't believe his ears. For a moment, Li Zhi even suspected that this old guy was deliberately harming himself.
In the harsh natural environment of the Western Regions, there are far more beards than in the Tang Dynasty. God knows when those barbarians will rebel and take the position of Protector of Beiting, that is, sitting on the crater of the volcano. Once it does erupt, there will be no remains left. Du Ruhui, an old guy, actually suggested that he should be listed as Beiting? Could it be that this old guy was bribed and wanted to trick him?
"Yes! His Highness is asked to recommend himself to Beiting!" Du Ruhui looked at Li Zhi with a smile.
"Can¡¡!"
"Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say!" Du Ruhui stretched out his hand.?A faster and more effective method. Naturally, land trade routes will be eliminated! Businessmen are the purest group of people in the world. As long as there are more efficient methods and higher profits, they will not care about traditions.
Without the trade routes, the existence of Beiting is actually of little significance. The Tang Dynasty was so huge, from east to west. Not to mention riding a horse, even a train would take more than a month. The Tang Dynasty did not have enough population to fill such a large area, so allowing the Hu people to govern themselves is what your Majesty should do now. Instead of sending some Beiting Protector and using 50,000 people to rule 5 million people.
It won¡¯t work! This is really not possible! Once something unexpected happens, the 50,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be swallowed up without even taking a chance. We don¡¯t even have the population to fill Liaodong and Korea, let alone go to the Western Regions to eat sand. "
"You mean to ask Datang to give up the Western Regions?" Li Er's eyes were sharp. If others saw Li Er's eyes, they would be so scared that they would fall to the ground.
"It is not to give up the Western Regions, but to make the Western Regions autonomous. In other words, let the Western Regions people manage the Western Regions themselves. Of course, the taxes paid to the empire every year must not be less. It is equivalent to hiring a hundred shopkeepers to help you run such a huge Place. All you need to do is collect your earnings on time."
"Since the Wude period, the Tang Dynasty has not lost an inch of land. Now, you want me to hand over the land that the Tang soldiers gained through hundreds of battles to those barbarians? Without the buffer of the Western Regions, the borders of the Tang Dynasty will be The war has become fierce again." Li Er looked at Yun Hao angrily, wishing he could tear him into pieces and eat him now.
"No, my Majesty. The train has already reached Yumen Pass, which means that it will only take six or seven days for Chang'an to send troops to Yumen Pass. If anyone wants to get close to Yumen Pass, they will definitely be discovered by the airship within three hundred miles. Also That is to say, as long as we go out three hundred miles from Yumen Pass and build a few cities, we can monitor the area of ??thousands of miles around Yumen Pass.
The Hu people had no chance to attack the border of Datang. Besides, do you remember what happened in Lhasa? If you want to punish any tribe in the Western Regions, do you still need the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry? All it takes is a hundred or so airships loaded with bombs to teach them a lesson, and those barbarians will suffer heavy losses. I believe that their tribesmen will cry and chop off the head of the rebel leader, and then kneel down and offer it to you.
Maritime trade has flourished, but there is no future in the Western Region. Without trade routes, the countries in the Western Region, large and small, would shrink rapidly. In the end, those people had no choice but to migrate, either to come to the Tang Dynasty and become obedient citizens, or to go to Tocharo in the west, or to try their luck in Dashi.
¡°If you don¡¯t make money in the Western Regions, you won¡¯t be able to survive. Even if you keep them, they will not stay in the Western Region. If the tree is moved, it will die, but if the person is moved, it will live. No one will stay there and wait to die! Without trade routes, the barren Western Region would never be able to feed five million people. Yunhao said helplessly. He wanted Li Er to know that economic rule is the best rule.
Rather than sending tens of thousands of troops to rule over millions of people.
"Uh! Let me think about it carefully!" Yunhao's concept was too advanced, and Li Er felt a little confused.
"Once the people from the Western Regions cannot survive, they will move east or west. You will definitely not want to come to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, they can only go to Tocharo in the west, and there is still a big food to develop. With the Great Tang With the temperament of the cannibals and Tocharians, they would not treat these people well, so war was inevitable.
By that time you will find that there are actually very few people in the vast Western Region. "
