Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 61 What to do in the future?
"Look, Jieli Khan has been slaughtered, and the main force of the Turks has been destroyed. This is a great contribution to the civil servants, military generals and His Majesty, but since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, these northern nomads have been It is a serious problem in the Central Plains, and it has been tossing around. This battle will last seven or eight years at most, and there can be no more, but what should we do in the future?"

"That……"

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Li Shimin all thought deeply.

This is indeed the case. The Turkic people will fight if they can beat them, and they will run away if they can't beat them. When they catch their breath, they will come to invade the Central Plains again, as if they can't be beaten to death. It will take a lot of effort and money forever Feel free to deal with this big worry.

"These nomadic peoples just follow the water sources and pastures. The grassland in the north is extremely vast and the herdsmen are very scattered. If this war continues, it will take several years for the Turks to breathe. Anyway, the most peaceful period is only five years, so the six or seven In the next year, there will definitely be unrest again, and if there is any natural disaster or snow disaster on the grasslands, the Turks will come to invade the Central Plains, burning, killing and looting even if they die."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yunqing said with a smile: "People, in the face of life and death, there is nothing that cannot be done. When you are most hungry, let alone murder and set fire, you can eat grass roots, bark and mud. I don't care, as long as I can save my life, although Jieli Khan was slaughtered, Turkic has been divided into two halves now, and the Siyehu Khan is still there."

Jiang Yunqing's words silenced Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Li Er.

The Turkic people are nomads, they just herd herds, they don't do farming, and they can't do farming, and they have no ability to resist natural disasters.

Jieli Khan is gone, but the Western Turkic Siyehu Khan is still there.

"It is said that His Majesty wants to establish the Eastern Turkic Protectorate in Turkic to manage the northern border. If there are elite soldiers and strong generals stationed here, then there will be no problem, right?" Du Ruhui received it. This matter was decided before the start of the war. Yes, they plan to build the Protectorate, but they haven't figured out who will be stationed there.

"But the Protectorate's Mansion can't solve the root cause, there are still hidden dangers."

When Jiang Yunqing heard the name of the Protectorate's Mansion, he had mixed feelings about this thing, which was no different from the peacekeeping force behind it. Without the support of strong national power, it would hardly be of much use.

In the imperial court, because of the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion, there was a lot of noise.

Just a few years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the establishment of the Protectorate required a huge investment of manpower and material resources, not to mention that if the Turks recovered in a few years, they would definitely still have to solve the problem.

If this is done, the garrison of the Duhu Mansion will easily have various conflicts with the Turkic people. On the contrary, the Turkic people will look at it every day.

Moreover, no one in the imperial court agrees to the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate.

Li Er himself also felt that the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate did not seem to do anything good, and it was not appropriate.

"The establishment of the Protectorate Mansion is to properly manage the border, but to be honest, if you want to do something, it is really useless. It costs a lot of money and things, and there is no return. But let's fight, not for money. It is for resources, if this is the case, I think it is still possible to send 1 people to station there." Jiang Yunqing said.

Everyone agrees with these words, but Du Ruhui, the proponent of the idea of ​​establishing the Anxi Protectorate, feels a little uncomfortable, because he came up with this method himself, and now everyone thinks it is useless.

"But." Jiang Yunqing paused for a while, and then said: "The Duhu Mansion can still be established, but it can't help the Turkic people in vain. We can also maintain the stability of the grassland for the Turkic people."

"What should I do?"

The more Li Er listened, the more excited he became. He drank two more glasses of wine, eagerly waiting to hear what Jiang Yunqing would say.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Er got rid of the East Turks.

But the flames of war on the frontier of the Tang Dynasty continued.

Those savage bastards from the Western Turks have been invading the border areas unbridled, coming to Damagao at every turn, burning, killing and looting.

Although these small fights were not a big deal in the eyes of the entire Tang Empire, they were a matter of life and death for the people in the frontier. The people in the frontier were miserable and fearful.

Later, Xiao Wu came up, took power in his hands, and established the Duhufu.

Anyone who has read Tang history seriously will understand that if Datang established the Protectorate 40 years ago, there would be no such power as Xue Yantuo, and the grasslands in the north would officially belong to Datang.

So just making gestures like this, and looking back, the establishment of the Protectorate's Mansion can't be spent on one's own family's money, to do things for other people's families, to help other people's families maintain stability.

To establish the Duhufu, it is necessary to truly control the grassland, firmly grasp the grassland in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and do the earth-shattering move of Emperor Ranmin, the king of martial arts, to make them genocide.

"The northern grasslands are endless as far as the eye can see, and there is also the Gobi Desert. It is impossible to completely control it. No matter how many officials are sent, it is useless. These nomads do not have a fundamental gathering place and will leave at any time. Yes, I am here today, but I don’t know where I will be tomorrow." Du Ruhui said helplessly.

"So, the Tang Dynasty is too cowardly. The civil and military officials in the dynasty don't know how to enlarge their eyes. They only know about the use of force." Jiang Yunqing took a sip of wine and said.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui on one side were said to be a little ashamed. It was really embarrassing for such a young man to say that they were short-sighted in front of their superior, His Majesty.

"Yunqing, the adults in the imperial court are still capable of doing things well. Look, it's only been a few years. I, Tang Dynasty, have already recuperated and recuperated. I should speak more practically, Fang Xiang and Du Xiang But there are talented and virtuous people, without his two assistants, the Tang Dynasty would never be where it is today." Empress Changsun saw Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's embarrassment, and hurried out to speak out.

"Aren't I right? They just don't have a long-term vision, and so does Your Majesty." Jiang Yunqing said.

Both Empress Changsun and Li Huan'er wanted to quickly shut Jiang Yunqing's mouth. In front of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty and the two prime ministers, can you hold back your words?

"Yunqing, keep talking." Li Er's face was very serious now, and he restrained himself and said such a sentence.
