Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

With the victory of Gaochang, none of the noble kings in Gaochang was killed. At the same time, Li Daozong and An Xinggui released all the caravans stranded here at the same time, and said that all merchant properties would not be affected, but some One point, you need to abide by the laws of Datang.

Immediately afterwards, Li Daozong and An Xinggui quickly dispatched their envoys. The envoys did not represent their two generals, but the Emperor of Tang, and directly issued an ultimatum to the kings of all the 36 countries in the Western Regions, because you accompanied the Western Turks. Against me, Datang, so now we declare war on all your countries at the same time.

Surrender or be beaten!

In order to ensure the safety of the Datang caravan doing business in the Western Regions, and to avoid future examples of blocking commercial roads in the Western Regions like Gaochang Kingdom, it is not enough for all countries to surrender, they must surrender unconditionally. Among the land of the Tang Dynasty.

The kings and nobles can keep their properties and live in Chang'an. The local properties of these people will be purchased by the Tang court through the Datang Central Bank at market prices.

This is the last mercy of His Majesty King Datang!

Don't say it is unpredictable!

Dozens of envoy teams quickly went to all the vassal countries in the Western Regions, including Yipi Duolu, He Lishi and others will each receive a copy. I don’t care if you surrender or not, but you have influenced my Datang to make money, or You will compensate me for the loss of Datang.

Of course, the loss that needs to be compensated is a terrifying astronomical figure.Of course, for different people, the final conditions must be different. For example, for those who have leaned towards Datang from the beginning, the inevitable conditions are better. For example, the army of Datang will promise to assist him in attacking Yipi Dulu's territory, and gave him the more dominant territory in Yipi Dulu's territory to rule.

But his original territory will be transferred to Datang.

As for whether He Lishi would agree, Li Daozong and the others knew that He Lishi would definitely agree, because the Turks now have three khans!Anyone who refuses to agree will be beaten alone!Besides, Xi Lishi now has the smallest territory, and many of the territories he controls are actually the original 36 countries in the Western Regions, even though these countries belong to him in name.

But it is also a different dream with him, and it is impossible to advance and retreat together. You Lishi knows this very well. On the contrary, it seems that the area controlled by Yipidulu is different. If Yipidulu is eliminated, those places are controlled by traditional Turks. It is much more convenient for him to rule than the current territory.

Therefore, there is no reason for Xi Lishi to refuse.

As for the other small countries, Li Daozong and An Xinggui didn't consider their ideas at all, and whether they agreed or not was just a matter of how much the Tang army spent.

The example of Gaochang has already been released. Whether you want to die by yourself, or follow Gaochang, it is up to you!

The news of Gaochang Paradigm was not only propagated to the kings of the 36 countries in the Western Regions through the envoys, but also to the people of the 36 countries in the Western Regions with the help of the Ministry of Intelligence.

Anyway, this is the policy when Datang came, and the army of Datang will not harm ordinary people, you should think about it yourself.

Now Datang's taxes are lower than those of other countries in the Western Regions. For the common people, they know how to choose, not to mention that Datang also distributes land and arranges various benefits.

……

Changan.

It has been more than ten days since Li Ke received the news. After getting the news about Gaochang, Li Ke nodded in satisfaction. The smooth victory of Gaochang means that Datang has an absolute springboard in Gaochang.

It can be said that Datang's next strategy has been fully achieved.

Winning Tubo, cooperating with Baling Peninsula, Yuzhang Port, etc. means that Datang has a springboard to enter Tianzhu. Similarly, after conquering Tuyuhun and winning Huangshui Valley, it means that Datang has a springboard to enter the Western Regions.

And now taking the area of ​​Gaochang and Cheshihouguo (later Urumqi) means that Datang has an important springboard to conquer the Western Regions. After taking this springboard and other places such as the Yili River Plain, Central Asia will also If you open your legs to Datang, you will definitely welcome Datang's entry.

"Your Highness, do we really have to bring the royal families and nobles of these countries to Chang'an?" Li Ke was watching a concert at the moment, which was jointly organized by the original oirans of several major brothels in Pingkangfang.

Not only the little songs that were originally popular in the Tang Dynasty, but also these unique songs promoted by Li Ke with the promotion of stage plays, Chi Ling, A Chinese Ghost Story and other songs were also performed together.

There were a lot of people watching. Sitting around Li Ke at the moment were Fang Xuanling and other important ministers. Everyone sat in a box on the second floor, so there was no need to worry that the conversation here would be leaked.

"Of course, why not?" Li Ke nodded casually.

"These people have come to Chang'an... don't they want to have a great impact on the security of my Chang'an? If they cause any harm to Your Majesty, or to Your Highness..." Wei Zheng hesitated and said.

"Hey, I'm not talking about you, Old Wei. In fact, for the current Datang, if you say something disrespectful to my father, even if my father and I have an accident, Datang will not have any problems." Li Ke said helplessly.

Wei Zheng: "..."

You know it's disrespectful and you still say it?

"Does Your Highness have any other ideas or arrangements for letting these people come here?" Changsun Wuji asked after thinking for a while.

"As an example, in the future, there will be many small congresses that will be wiped out in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the kings or royal families of these small countries do not have a strong sense of resistance. If we treat them well, they will not particularly resist. It will be much easier to win these countries by then."

Li Ke was talking about the Six Kingdoms of Nanzhao. Although Nanzhao and other nearby areas have not yet been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it will happen sooner or later.

Various plans such as the acquisition of medicinal materials and the planting of medicinal materials in Lingnan Road are continuously penetrating into the Shanyue tribes in the deep mountains and old forests. More and more Shanyue tribes have been affected, and more and more of them have begun to contact the Datang people, and gradually I started to get in touch with the concept of Datang.

These Shanyue people are relatively primitive tribes, most of them are self-sufficient, not all of them have a large number of people, and their lives are actually very poor. Datang constantly provides them with help and helps them find ways to improve their lives. Quality, this method makes them more and more acceptable to Datang.

In later generations, this is a famous gathering place of ethnic minorities. It can be said that every Shanyue tribe now may be a minority in later generations, but in this period, these tribes actually only have simple culture and totem culture. .

The characteristics of ethnic minorities in later generations have not been formed here at all, and some customs are also absent here, such as the famous Songkran Festival in later generations.

Li Ke also thought about how to celebrate the Water-Splashing Festival with the local people like the Prime Minister in memory after Nanzhao and other places were brought under the management of Datang.But after some research, I found out that the Songkran Festival, which originated in Persia more than 100 years ago, has not been introduced to China at all, so these festivals have not yet.

But, it doesn't matter if you don't have one, you can create it.Such a pleasant, fun scene of splashing water with the young lady, how can there be no such scene?How fun it was to get wet with the silk material.

"The other thing is that their arrival can increase my Tang's income." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Eh? How do you say it?" Everyone was a little puzzled.

"Hey, you guys are just too naive. Think about it, these royal families and nobles of the Western Regions, we won the Western Regions for peace, so it's not easy to confiscate their property, and instead of confiscating it, we have to buy it from them at a high price. Let them resist."

"But they have a lot of money, we have to earn it back, how do we earn it? Great Tang Nightless City! Isn't my Great Tang Nightless City developed just for them to play?! The life of luxury and money is very fun for them, what about the Western Regions? It’s fun to have me in Chang’an, but as for them going bankrupt in Chang’an in the future and unable to survive, it has nothing to do with us, right?”

"Let me tell you that in the future, it will not only be the kings of these countries, but also some nobles in some big countries, such as Persia, the Jieri Dynasty, and Byzantium, will be political prisoners. Those who run away with money, I want all of Tang, you know? They are not harmful, just let people keep an eye on them, and when they come, let them spend."

"All the money stays in my Datang territory. As for them running out of money, it's their own business and has nothing to do with us!" Li Ke said casually.

All the ministers felt a chill, Your Highness, you are too bad.
