468、The Confederation
"If I want to let them be peaceful temporarily, but to maintain their internal friction, I have a preliminary idea." Jing Wen said.
"Oh? What's the idea?" Pei Ju asked.
Jing Wen said: "We can consider letting them form a federation!"
Jing Wen then talked about his thoughts, which was to make a dispersed Western Turks form a federation. The so-called federation means that small countries or forces unite to form a central government with a common constitution and a common army jointly legislative, administrative and judicial power, and the local government has certain autonomy. The Turks were originally nomadic, but in fact they were divided into tribes, which was actually considered an incomplete federation.
"But in this way, isn't it possible for the Western Turks to take the opportunity to unite and form a unified country?" asked the young man next to him.
But Jing Wen laughed sinisterly, and Pei Ju nodded thoughtfully. Obviously there were too many conspiracies here. The young man didn't know at all that the federal system was so fun! At least, it was definitely not suitable for the federal system in the East.
If the Turks follow the Turkish past model, large tribes rule small tribes, and small tribes are constantly exploited by large tribes. The large tribes find ways to compete for the Khan's position, or support the leaders they like to compete for the Khan. In fact, the Turks are divided and inevitable. The Turks actually lack a unified deliberative and coordinating agency, so once they encounter a crisis, they can only use war means to solve the problem. However, if they can promote the implementation of the Western Turks, it means that they have a unified deliberative agency, and the probability of their use of force will be greatly reduced. In this way, the Tang Dynasty can send merchants to trade with the Western Regions, and the chance of being robbed is much smaller.
However, it is impossible to let the Turks complete the federation. In the East, if they want to play the federal system, this is a way to die. At that time, although the Turks can become a nominal unified country through the mix, their internal chaos will increase. The small tribes were unable to obtain the position of Khan, but now they have a deliberative body. Then they may also have ambitions and they will have the idea of fighting for the highest power. Once those small tribes that are not as good as the ones, they will increase the struggle.
Those tribes that want to compete for the highest power of the Federation also need foreign aid. Who can become foreign aid except the Tang Dynasty? At that time, in order to compete for the right to speak, those tribes will naturally not dare to plunder the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to avoid the Tang Dynasty not supporting them. What is cheating is that the leaders of this Federation can be changed frequently, unlike the leaders of a family like they did in the past, and then the leaders of that family were hereditary, and the Tang Dynasty was not easy to enthrone another. Once the leader of this Federation has reached his age, if he wants to continue to serve, he must continue to please the Tang Dynasty so that he can hold a firm position.
In this way, the space left for the Tang Dynasty to operate is much greater. In the past, the leader would definitely increase his strength and prestige greatly, and his family was hereditary, so the Tang Dynasty could not change its orders every day. In this way, the Tang Dynasty might raise a tiger. However, once the Turks were allowed to implement a federation, the monsters and monsters within the Turks would come out and fight for the nominal position of the leader. At that time, although there would not be wars within the Turks, the alienation would be even worse. Although the Turks were managed at one level at a time, this also maintained a certain order. However, once this federation was implemented, the management model in the past would probably be disrupted. In theory, every "state" could compete for the highest position of the head of state.
In this way, their internal struggles intensified, but because of a deliberative body, they would not fight in a short time. In the past, the Turks had conflicts, which was to take the sword directly. However, with this federation, their first choice was not to take the sword, but to quarrel. As long as the Turks avoided the Turks' sword, the Turks maintained temporary stability, and the business of the Tang Dynasty could develop. In order to win the support of the Tang Dynasty, they would protect the Tang Dynasty merchant.
"It's really sinister! With the federal system, the possibility of war breaking out is much smaller. However, their internal struggles have expanded a lot. This is to meet the needs just now, and can avoid fighting, but they cannot be united. This is the Tao. I can hear this before I die, and I will die without regrets. This is the essence of splitting the country. In the future, the Western Turks may really fall into internal struggle. And our Tang Dynasty can also take the opportunity to communicate with the Western Regions and develop our finances. However, this is just a temporary one. If you really want to do it once and for all, you should completely destroy them." Pei Ju was also very surprised by the federal system.
The young man next to Pei Ju asked, "Aren't you afraid, what if there is a powerful leader in the Western Turks who can take this opportunity to unify the Turks?"
"No! This federal system is not an implementable state system, it is just a trick. It is just a thing that Jing Wen proposed to make them split, but not a war breaks out. It is a thing that will be thrown away after using it. Even if the Western Turks want to unify the world, they still need the support of my Tang Dynasty. Will we still give them this opportunity? As long as we work together, they will not be able to completely unite. When we accumulate enough wealth from the Western Regions trade route, our Tang Dynasty can immediately send troops to destroy them. But they could not unify at that time. Instead, they would shirk responsibility everywhere because of this federal system, which would harm them. Therefore, this federal system is something that would kill people." Pei Ju said.
Pei Ju could see at a glance that the federal system was not suitable for Eastern civilization. Whether it was a nomadic or a Han country, playing the federal system would definitely be seeking death. Once the Turks used the federal system, it would be a speed of mobilization of their country and their management model. Moreover, the monsters and gods who fought for power and profit within them would appear. Many small tribes wanted to rely on this federal system to obtain benefits that they could not obtain normally. In this way, the internal Turks would be disinterested, making the distribution of their internal forces more complicated, but they could maintain that wars would not break out. In this way, the forces within the Turks would come out like mushrooms after a rain, and they would fight for power and profits to be supported by the Tang Dynasty. In this way, their struggle for power and profits would no longer be the matter of those large tribes in the past, and the Tang Dynasty would be better divided and disintegrated.
