Chapter 717 Governor of Yongzhou(2/2)
A cruel war is about to begin,
Anyone who dares to stop him will face the imperial court's thunderous attack.
Of course, there is a process and a timetable for this.
Almost all the prime ministers agreed with the emperor's determination.
Although when Feng Ang was negotiating the palace war, many people accused Feng Ang of ceding territory and rebelling, and asked the court to send troops to conquer. Li Shimin also planned to send 100,000 troops, but in the end, Wei Zheng persuaded him and just sent court envoys to appease him.
In the final analysis, the imperial court at that time was unable to provoke a war in Lingnan when the Turks were not solved. Even if they knew what Feng Ang and his friends were in, as long as they did not openly raise their flag to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
It is important to deal with the enemy in front of you,
But now, it's time to clean up Lingnan.
Wei Zheng did not object this time, because the emperor did not say who was responsible for the rebellion, Feng Ang or Chen Longshu, and even wanted to give Feng Ang an official title.
The imperial court only wanted to set up prefectures and counties in Lingnan, organize households and people, collect taxes, enforce laws, and even station troops and send officials. These were all natural. If they couldn't even do these, then Lingnan really couldn't be considered the Tang Dynasty.
The territory under the rule is at best a land of restraint.
The imperial court would never allow it.
In some remote places under the jurisdiction of Guifu and Yongfu, although the imperial court would also recruit barbarian chiefs and set up some Jizhou counties, this was only a temporary measure.
If conditions permit, we must create households and bring together the people.
Whether it is a slang commander like Tan Dian or a powerful chieftain like Feng An, if they dare to resist and block them, they are rebelling, and the imperial court's crusade is justified.
This is actually a battle to reduce vassal status.
It depends on who has enough concentration and who has enough vision.
But in the end, the momentum is unstoppable.
Zhang Liang sat there, thinking that Hou Junji had not been the governor of Guangdong for long, and he was promoted to the governor of Yongzhou. Moreover, the emperor just said that Hou Junji, the governor of Yongzhou, was recommended by Wu Huaiyu.
