Hearing Li Er's question, Fang Xuanling frowned and said slowly,""Tuyuhun is located to the west of the Great Tang. Now that the royal family is in internal strife, someone in the royal family has colluded with the Tubo royal family in an attempt to control the entire Tuyuhun, break away from the Great Tang, and join the Tubo.”
" Logically speaking, Tuyuhun is a vassal state of the Great Tang. During the civil strife, the Great Tang will have to send troops to assist King Tuyuhun in quelling the civil strife. However, this is only a temporary solution. The Tang army has already gone to Tuyuhun. However, how to manage these foreign tribes in the future will be a difficult problem.”Zhangsun Wuji also said sadly.
"Mr. Li Chen, what do you think?" After hearing their words, Li Er looked at Li Chen with anticipation.
He had told Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji before that Li Chen, who was talented, had a resourceful mind. Now was the time for them to broaden their horizons. He hoped that Li Chen would not embarrass him.
"I'm just a scholar. It's not good to discuss political affairs, right?”Li Chen deliberately revealed a troubled expression. How could he not understand these people's tricks?
However, if I say it just because you want me to, then wouldn't I be very uncool? Since you're playing tricks with me, I'll play tricks with you too.
"Since Your Majesty is asking, there's no harm in saying it.”Fang Xuanling said.
"I would also like to hear Mister's opinion.”Zhangsun Wuji also said. His eyes seemed to be looking sideways, as if he was just casually saying it. He didn't think that Li Chen could say anything big.
"Mister, please enlighten me." Li Er's attitude was also very humble.
Seeing this, Li Chen felt a little better.
As someone who understood hundreds of years of the Great Tang's history, he had managed to sort out his thoughts in the blink of an eye.
He had read the history of the Tang Dynasty and talked about the situation of Tuyuhun and Tubo. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and Zhangsun Wuji did not know that the once powerful Tubo had always been a powerful threat to the Tang Dynasty.
Tubo occupied the west, almost the entire Qing Plateau. The cold wind whistled and the high sky was full of vitality.
In the next few hundred years, the Tang Dynasty would wage countless wars against the Tang Dynasty.
"Since that's the case, then I'll share my humble opinion. Don't laugh at my words.”Thus, Li Chen smiled and slowly said,"
"The Great Tang is vast. The Tang army has destroyed Dongjue, Gaochang, and Xue Yantuo. The Uighurs, Tiele, Khitans, Guayu, Shiwei, and other foreign races have voluntarily joined the Great Tang. From Jiannan to Mobei, from the Western Regions to the East Sea, everything is part of the Great Tang's territory.”
"The Great Tang has countless Outsiders under its rule, and they have become a political problem. These Outsiders have just submitted, so it's inevitable that they will still have disloyalty. Thus, I believe that the Great Tang needs to use a soft and gentle policy to manage these Outsiders.”
Li Chen's words first made Li Er and the others fascinated. The Great Tang had conquered the south and the north, expanding its territory to the peak of history. Li Er had also been honored by the four barbarians as the Heavenly Khan, a title he was proud of.
When the word " win over " was spoken, even Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji, who had been keeping their composure, had their eyes lit up. They immediately put away their contempt. It seemed that the young man in front of them was indeed a real talent.
They had actually been considering this strategy for a long time. They had such an idea when they were in Gaozu's time, but it had never been perfect.
"Jimi policy?" "Sir, please tell me in detail." Li Er said with interest.”
"'Restrain' is military and political suppression,'bind' is material comfort. The principle is: accept the rules and do not disobey, betray and abandon and do not pursue.”Li Chen cleared his throat and said in an orderly manner,"
"The first point is that their tribes are divided into prefectures and counties. Their territory was usually determined by the natural region formed by a certain large surname. This region could be divided into one province or several provinces.”
"Secondly, in terms of military affairs, Jimi Prefecture can retain its own troops, namely the so-called rebel army, local army, local soldiers, etc. The imperial court bestowed the title of military chief upon the national leader. Their main purpose was to guard the borders. The local soldiers were an organization that placed soldiers in agriculture. They worked as farmers during normal times and went out to battle during wartime.”
"The third point is to form an alliance. The pillars will form an alliance, and the borders will be drawn. In order to prevent the leaders of the various races from rebelling, they would often make an oath of alliance with the leaders of the various races and carve it on the bronze pillars and stone pillars. Every time they made an oath, there would be a leader who would supervise the implementation of the alliance and would be bound by the oath.”
"Fourth, in terms of economy, give the races a small profit. The tribute requirements of the leaders of the various races were not harsh. Their land and household registration were not included in the Ministry of Revenue, but the leaders of the various states, who were appointed by the court, had to pay tribute to the court regularly.”
Li Chen said the main points of the policy in one go. He heaved a sigh of relief after he finished. Fortunately, he had a good memory and was also interested in history, so he could still remember the general content of the policy.
In ancient times, due to limited conditions, the feudal dynasties could not implement county rule in all places they could touch, especially in some remote minority areas.
This policy began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, strengthened in the Tang Dynasty, and perfected in the Song Dynasty.
What Li Chen was talking about now was the perfect Jimi policy of the Song Dynasty. This was a more open and perfect way of thinking. Of course, this was only because the Great Tang was still not strong enough. When it became stronger, it would be easier to send troops.
As expected, the room was abnormally quiet after he finished speaking. Only the sound of Yaya and Princess Jin Yang chewing could be heard…Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and Zhangsun Wuji were clearly stunned.
(Wake up early and write early. Life is good. A new day of hard work has begun. Everyone, support me.)）
