Li Zhi first talked about the Turks.

In Li Wei's mind, the Turks were just a border disaster, and they did not even regard the Turks as their subjects. What they said did not count, it was to appease people's hearts. But in Li Zhi's mind, the Turks and Silla's country were of different natures, and they were false surrender. Since the destruction of Xueyantuo, almost all forces in the desert surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. In Li Zhi's mind, the desert was also the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people were also the people of the Tang Dynasty.

If an uprising is caused, it is called rebellion and it will never be tolerated.[bsp;    Several people looked at Li Wei suspiciously. This was another time when the emperor mentioned it, but it didn't happen after all.

Li Wei said: "Everyone, don't believe it. Not only is some Turkic people unwilling to accept it, but our generals gradually weakened, there are other reasons."

He sighed and said, "In the past, His Majesty Taizong once said that our soldiers in the dynasty would deal with you, one for ten. Is it OK today?"

None of the prime ministers could answer.

This is a multifaceted reason, one is the soldiers who fought for a long time, and the other is that at the beginning of the founding of the country, the population was sharply reduced, and there were many empty fields, and the rewards were heavy. There was not much money, but the fields could be rewarded. Therefore, all the soldiers fought bravely and won rewards for their merits.

But is it OK today?

Could it be that he has trained soldiers and ignored the national strength and brought a military force to depose the military? Besides, what kind of land can be rewarded? Even the military system of the government felt regretful and vaguely felt that it was time to be eliminated. The recruitment system was used, but the country could not afford it. Therefore, he thought of the conscript system, which looked very good. He could be discharged from the army in a few years, and the country did not have a heavy burden. But in this way, most of the soldiers were new soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was still very low.

He talked with Liu Rengui along the way to the tour. The emperor's confidant was willing to ask for advice humbly. Liu Rengui spoke out. The two of them discussed a solution to use the recruitment system to lead the conscript system, that is, to keep some brave soldiers who fight bravely, and to become professional soldiers and support all military countries, but they can still afford it. In this way, the essence of the army can be passed on and supplemented by conscripted troops.

The discussion was completed, but there were also many controversies. I didn’t dare to say it when I came back this time.

But no matter how they did, the soldiers were not as determined as early as the Tang Dynasty.

He also said: "The decline of military power has lost the strongest support for maintaining the policy of restraint. That is, the policy of restraint itself has made mistakes."

"Hong'er, don't talk nonsense," Li Zhi said.

The policy of restraining the people was the basis for the Tang Dynasty to appease the Hus. Li Wei pointed the finger at him, and Li Zhi was inevitably disgraced.

"Father, please listen to my son's words. During the Zhenguan period, Li Daliang and Wei Zheng said that the Chinese people (not only Han people, but also a large number of Xianbei people in the north) were the foundation of the country. The barbarians were their branches and leaves, which damaged their roots and strengthened their branches and leaves. It has not been found since ancient times. His Majesty Taizong was willing to find a good solution, but had to use his strategies to maintain the Huyi. If you remember correctly, Xue Yantuo also said that the Supreme (referring to Li Shimin) should defeat the Turks, and should use the Turks as slaves and send them to the people. Why should they adopt them like adopted sons? Now, the country still gives the Turks a large amount of gold and silver to the Turks every year, which is also one of the heavy burdens of the people in the Central Plains. But can't they be able to buy good things? No matter how they treat it, it will not be more than Emperor Wen of Sui to treat Qimin. What happened later?"

Just this question is speechless.

"Since it is divided into silences, there are differences to them. However, the people of the Central Plains despise it, how can there be no two hearts? Pei Qing, I asked you to draft a plan to wait for Hu, why didn't I criticize it in the end? Have you seen this?" But Li Wei changed his voice and took the initiative to change Pei Yan's mistakes today, and asked him to cooperate and could not cause trouble for him, saying, "But they are Hu Yi in the end, and they have different living habits. Even me, I have not come up with a good idea yet."

It’s not that I have no idea. No policy works. I only have comprehensive Chineseization, but I dare not say it out.

"In order to appease, although the tribute was not paid, the court continued to provide relief, rewards, helping the army, fiefs, and salary. At the highest, there were almost half of the Hu ministers in the court. But they did not allow them to discuss matters, but they were just kind and raised. Shi asked, if you were Turkic people, would the genius consciousness rise again? He kept following our dynasty to fight. Seeing the gradually decline of our soldiers, there were more rewards for the war, and brought more slaves. Shi asked what thoughts would they have? Why fifteen years ago, the tribes in the south of the desert asked to re-enthrone the Khan (the Xueyantuo tribe was destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty abolished the Khan title of the Turkic Khan)? The policy of restraining the severity allowed the races of the tribes on the grassland to continue, and the customs and habits were the same as before. After so many years of development, even when disasters occurred, the court took the initiative to provide disaster relief, and the Turkic people gradually recovered. What thoughts would they have when one person was reduced or the other was rising?"

There is only one result, and there will be no doubt about it!

"Also, the social and economic deformity. Today I will say this passage, just to discuss the matter. I hope you don't make any comments on it," he said, looking at Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian was amused and cried, and said, "Honger, I'm just talking about it and let everyone discuss it, maybe."

With Wu Zetian's approval, Li Wei continued to speak, saying: "When the Turks were the most powerful, they went to the East China Sea, to Persia, to the south to Yanmen, to the north to the uninhabited land. Even the countries of Lingyou, Shi, Bona Khan (Dayuan of Han), Kang, Cao, Mi, He, An, Shi, Huoxun (Flower Thorn Mold), Tochara, Huo (Yan Dan, has been destroyed), Fan Yan, Pun Bin, Jian Tuo Luo, Gudu, Gu Secret, All Secret, Protect Shi Jian, Jie Su, Long Yue Jian, Dole Jian, Heng Wu, Bali Hei, Shi Han, Shi Ni so many big

In small countries, there are different races and customs, but almost all of them are Turkic. This is not counting. Let’s look at Tubo again, and it has swallowed up many tribes, but now there are several tribes, especially the nuclear plateau areas, which have not been converted by Tubo. No matter how far away, there are also Daqi, the French Party, and Byzantium, all of which are like this. How did they rule? They levy and seldom treat these tribal chiefs and people well! Why can we only use restraints in the Central Plains? Without restraints, even rule is impossible. Is there no at all attraction?"

This question was very sharp, and the side hall was silent again.

"Consciousness! Because of the land, our court banned killing horses and cattle. The people raised only chickens, ducks, geese and pigs. They did not drink milk, did not eat beef, did not wear wool clothes, edible for the rice, and smear and hemp. They were also afraid that people value profit rather than righteousness, and focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce. Taxes only came from agriculture and mulberry and mulberry rent. Now the father and mother handled the national affairs, which was a good rule, and the ministers were also dedicated to their duties, so the state expenditure was still balanced. That's how the money was released in the past few years. Once they were unable to make ends meet, they had to circle the salt, tea and wine to record the people again. This is the diligence of the people.

The government is maintained. However, how did Yihu do it? Some living environments are harsh. In order to survive, they can farm, they can live, they can live, and they can live, and they can do business. Why can the big places in Dashi expand so quickly? It is a developed commercial system. Everyone, don’t say that the big food is not good. Today’s big food is no less powerful than our Tang Dynasty. What is the appeal of these two different lifestyles to the Hu people? So they had to fight and then strode them after they were beaten, but no matter which one, it is increasing the burden on the people and the country."

It can be said that this is the first time that Li Wei has raised this disadvantage sharply.

Everyone frowned but couldn't refute.

"This is the fundamental, and the strategy is not very happy during Taizong..." refers to the Hu people on the border, but there is no clear explanation. After breaking back, Pei Xingjian politely raised this matter and criticized him when he came to Qinghai. Then he tactfully explained the reason why Li Jing returned to the cause. Li Shimin denounced Fanli for being a five-death crime, but he was granted the title of the General of the Right Guard. Tuli even granted the title of Prince of Beiping, with a fief of thousands of households, far exceeding Li Jing's Duke of Wei and 700 households. Ashinasmo was granted the title of Prince of Huaide and other chiefs of Hu, all of which were higher than that of the Han generals.

This is not only a way to win over and comfort, but also a constraint.

At that time, the generals had outstanding abilities and made many unparalleled honors, especially Li Jing, who was not like Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, who were the true direct descendants of Li Shimin. Highly enthroning the Hu Hu was also a kind of constraint and balance.

Later strategies were also a product of this background. Most court officials' ideas were the same as Li Wei's later actions, and they were dispersed in the Central Plains to force these Turks to be sinicized. However, Li Shimin finally adopted Wen Yanbo's strategy, which was also a constraint. Wen Yanbo's reason was very far-fetched, saying that it was contrary to human ethics and that these tribes could not be dispersed. What was it like and what was later? It was scattered on the border. It was because of different living habits. How many Han people in Guanzhong, Henan today were Xianbei people led by Emperor Wen of Wei?

This is the generals such as Li Jing who has been in a state of restraint. As soon as Li Jing returned to the court, Wen Yanbo immediately colluded with Xiao Li to impeach Li Jing's slack management, which led to the scattered treasures of the barbarians being dispersed in the hands of the riots. Li Shimin immediately rebuked him, and after he was scolded, he rewarded Li Jing. Speaking of this, Pei Xingjian said with admiration: "This is a vivid performance of the emperor's mind."

Balance constraints are what the emperor must do, but we must do practical things and distinguish between the severity, rather than Li Zhi ignored everything for the sake of power.

Later, Li Shimin also realized that there were many troubles, which were blocking the border, but it was too heavy, so he was not relieved. At this time, Li Shimin probably regretted it, but the original tribe did not move before, and now it was difficult to disperse and settle in the Central Plains. He had to let Ashinaenmo lead many Turks back to the grassland again.

But when Li Zhi got to Li Zhi, many Hu people were stuffed on the border, and they also used the Sui Dynasty strategy adopted by Li Shimin later to differentiate and manage the grassland. For example, supporting the puppet Yin Wanglun and Bisu. But they did not do well, such as Bisu. The nine surnames in Mobei were not related and had equal strength, but the Tang Dynasty made the people respectful, which led to the four tribes against the Tang Dynasty, and as a result, Tianshan (Inner Mongolia was in Dujin Mountain) made Xue Rengui fight miserably.

Therefore, this strategy was not very successful. It is better to say that it was a powerful force to force the surname Tiele, the surname Niu of Mobei.

No more said, after all, one is his grandfather and the other is his father.

Moreover, these two people did a good job. If they had not been enlightened like Pei Xingjian, they would not have understood why the wise and powerful grandfather made this seemingly low-level mistake?

But it was a hindrance at that time. Li Jing returned to the court and almost stayed in the door, so he was afraid of causing trouble. Li Wei was not disgusted. Compared with Emperor Gaozu of Han and Zhu Yuanjiang, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Xiu, and his grandfather, whom he had never met, did a good job.

It can leave hidden dangers for future generations.

So he changed the subject and said, "Today my army is weak, but his army is strong. Moreover, Qinghai has stationed a large number of brave generals to defend Tubo. In addition, the Minister Pei went to the Western Turks, and there were also possible instigation from Qinling. If they do not rebel, when will they wait?"

There is a reason for saying that the Turks would rebel, but Li Wei didn't say it until today. If he didn't say it, these people wouldn't believe it.

Guo Zhengyi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what should I do?"

The Tubo people were ambitious and Qinghai was not yet calmed down. The chaos in the Western Turks arose, and Silla went north, and the Eastern Turks were plotting chaos again. Thinking about it, it made people feel a headache.
