Chapter 722 A generation of saints
----------..
The battle is without sorrow!
Throughout history, how many emperors can do this? Even Taigong, the writer of the classic "Six Strategies", which was regarded as the leader of the country by emperors of all dynasties, was unable to do this and was regretful!
With the use of 200,000 strong troops, it was possible to not recruit a penny of the people, no labor service, or civil servants, and it did not affect the people's farming life at all. Even in Hebei, the first battle, the people did not suffer any losses due to such a big battle. On the contrary, many poor households were given a lot of tools, money and food after this war!
Except for the supplies donated by the wealthy households who were distributed to the poor who spontaneously organized the transportation of supplies, the Tang army had almost never used the rest. The soldiers of the Tang army basically did not need any grain and grass. Each soldier brought a few kilograms of marching cakes on his horse's back, one or two kilograms of amber candy, and then a few canned food. A hundred kilograms of by-products of stew bran, a by-product of stew bran, a stew bran, is enough. The bran is reserved. Except for some horse grain used in the early marching process, the rest of the time is to directly feed the grain and grass from the place where they are beaten. Rice and wheat are also cooked for the soldiers to eat.
Even Goguryeo did not suffer much damage because the war was burning there. Of course, the damage here refers to the damage in agriculture and forestry, as well as the losses of merchant shops. Regardless of the casualties of Goguryeo people, they would forcibly disperse all over the Tang Dynasty. Ordinary Goguryeo people did not need to be slaves, but they could no longer farm, fish and hunt here.
To completely erase the word Goguryeo, it is necessary to cut off the roots. Integrate it into the Chinese people, learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and perform Han rituals like the people in the Central Plains. There is no privilege to speak of. They will not take care of them because they belong to a special tribe. This is the principle that Wang Kuang has always adhered to. The writing of any tribe must be abolished, and the etiquette of any tribe must be based on the premise that it does not violate the basic etiquette of the entire large group of China. You can have dialects, but not words. You can have your own special clothing, but you must be the same as others in major occasions. You can have your own system, but it must be based on not violating the "Law of the Tang Dynasty".
If the culture of this tribe is to be protected and the culture of that tribe needs to be protected, then how could the Chinese clan be born? Even the Han tribes have been integrated for a long time, and the premise is that the same writing and the same carriages are the same. If the First Emperor also came to develop a minority policy and consider this or that, the land of China today will always be in war. Only when everyone says the same thing and keeps the same etiquette can they have a sense of identity with China and truly have a great ethnic integration.
Similarly, Silla Baekje is similar to that of King Ra, because he was not going to betray the court, he still became the king, but he was not the King of Silla, but a idle king. Except for Silla Baekje, he allowed him to choose a place to settle in other places. King Baekje was not so lucky. In the second half of his life, he could only serve with King Goguryeo and become his slave.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty, the Goguryeo and the Silla Baekje people did not have much sense of identity with their kings. They were not as happy as the people of the Tang Dynasty. They had a monarch who considered the needs of the people as the first consideration. For them, it didn't matter who became the emperor, and they would recognize who they lived better. In fact, these three kingdoms were actually in a period of slave society. All the people were slaves of the king. Do you want a slave to be loyal to you? It's hard!
Therefore, the great migration of the people of the Three Kingdoms did not trigger any resistance. On the contrary, when they heard that they could settle in various parts of the Central Plains, like the people in the Central Plains, each labor force had ten to fifteen acres of Yongye land. Moreover, the local government designated farmers who were good at farming to teach them new farming methods, which could increase the yield per mu, most people were extremely happy. They didn't dare to think about such a day. Now that the Tang Dynasty is here, they can live a good life soon, and they can be like the Tang people who were envious of the extreme before. How could they not be happy with such an ending?
The court did not force a few people who were unwilling to migrate. They could also get Yongyetian, and they could open up land by themselves. They would keep the treatment of the Central Plains, and would not have any impact. After the people of the Central Plains migrated in large numbers, under the flood of the surging Chinese culture, it would be impossible for a few people to lose their roots no matter how much they thought about.
As for the people of the Central Plains, those who are willing to migrate to the newly captured territory will have great discounts. Ten years of tax exemption and labor exemption. This alone is already very attractive. Therefore, there are not a shortage of people who go to the Central Plains. The people of Hebei also received five-year tax exemption and five-and-a-half-year tax exemption. Because the court said that the people of Hebei have been fighting against foreign enemies in the north for a hundred years and have consumed a lot. Now that the north is stable, it is time to compensate them. There are no foreign enemies in the north. It can be said that most of the garrisons in the entire north can be abolished, leaving only a few town troops. In this way, the burden is much reduced. So, they will directly allocate these reduced ones to the people, so that everyone can take a breath and cultivate well.
Except for Nanzhao who had a strange intention, the other five were sincerely surrendered. Now that Nanzhao has been destroyed, only half of the people in Nanzhao left, so they did not make any major migration. They just broke up the people of Nanzhao and merged them into the land of Wuzhao. The entire people of Liuzhao can choose a place to settle according to their own voluntary policy. Under the guidance of preferential policies, strengthening exchanges with the people of Liuzhao was a gentle fusion process, and it was also the only part of so many territory that the Tang Dynasty had built this year. Originally, the people of Liuzhao did not have their own writings and used Chinese characters. After the frequent exchanges among the people, the integration was only a matter of time.
The situation in Tubo is similar to that in Goguryeo. They were originally a more primitive slave society than Goguryeo. Now that Tubo has surrendered, the serfs have either been assigned their own land or their own livestock, and can migrate freely. Many people have chosen to go to Sichuan and Shu. The land of Sichuan and Shu, Qinghai and the Western Regions have also been guided by preferential policies and began to migrate to Tubo.
The leaders and nobles of the five Tubo tribes were called to Lusai after Qin Huaiyu killed Zanpu, and they were arrested in one go. The five tribes lived in different distances and arrived at a different time. It was easy for more than 300 people to capture a leader, otherwise it would not be possible to surrender so quickly. Their lives were all in the hands of the Tang army. Who else would care about their belongings? It would be good to save their lives, and it was just a change of residence.
Although there is no large tract of land and puff, the wealth of the Central Plains, with their wealth, as long as they manage it carefully, their life will never be worse than in their own tribe. You must know that a glass bottle that only sells for hundreds of citrus in Chang'an will cost thousands of citrus in Tubo, and a can of dozens of citrus will cost several citrus. By comparison, even if the income in the Central Plains has dropped sharply ten times, it will be much happier than in the bitter and cold land of the plateau.
In the three major battles, in addition to the 200,000 troops used to deal with Goguryeo and Silla Baekje, only a few hundred people were used to deal with Nanzhao and Tubo, and the threats from the northern and southwest of the Tang Dynasty were eliminated. The casualties of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were only more than 10,000. If the wounded ones were deducted, only a few thousand people would actually die, and they did not affect the people's livelihood at all. Such a result of the battle is brilliant. It can be said that it is unprecedented. No one dares to say that no one will dare to say, but Wang Kuang knew that no one would come later.
After all, going westward, the less influenced by the Central Plains culture, there is not so much recognition of the Central Plains, and even rejection. You should know that races are different, while Westerners pay the most attention to races. They do not have the broad mind of China and can be tolerant. Not to mention races, even branches under the same race, they must be clearly distinguished. Where is China like this? The composition of the Chinese nation can be said to be all-encompassing, and there are Qiang people in the main body (when talking about Qiang people, gray birds can't help laughing three times. I don't know if the beast was kicked by a donkey. It actually said that the Chinese people originated from Qiang people.
People should change the descendants of the dragon to the descendants of sheep. It is really a laughing thing. Among the Han bloodlines, there are Qiang people, but they are just a minority among the Yangyang ethnic groups. The Qiang people have always existed, but they are just some of them integrated into the Han people. It can be said that the Han people themselves are a large nation that has tolerated many bloodlines, especially those who have last century-old people, who dare to call them beasts? They should be called donkeys!), there are Huns, Chu people, Yue people, Wu people, Qi people, Yan people, etc. If you count them carefully, you can at least list more than twenty.
Under such premise, it is impossible to fight Wushang in the future battle against the Westerners, but it is still possible to fight Wushang in a narrow sense. The war does not burn on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but in the west, it is also a bad luck for the Westerners. When they met Wang Kuang and Li Shimin, an emperor who could almost be said to be a generation of people who love the people as much as their sons. On the Tang Dynasty, the people who died were just soldiers. Although deaths are inevitable, it will make people feel distressed, but for the sake of the unification of the world, for a stable living and production environment, and for the sake of no greater humiliation in more than a thousand years, such sacrifice is necessary and worth it.
But no matter what, Li Shimin's reputation has reached its peak. Some people have begun to call the emperor a saint, comparing him with the Emperor Xuanyuan and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Some even question whether the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have such great achievements as the saints today? It should be ranked before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors...
