All the way to the north, Li Yan is examining the city scale, the development of the Confucian culture, and the state system in all parts of Khitan. What he saw and heard gave him a deeper understanding of Yeluabaoji, and he couldn't help admiring him.
Because of the unification of the Khitan and the short time to conquer the grasslands, everything is just a prototype, and the destruction of this war, many things are beyond recognition.
However, building a complete prototype is actually the hardest. As long as this head is open, everything after it is just a matter of time.
And this situation is exactly what Li Zhi needs.
If the Khitan system has been solidified and the Khitan national concept has taken shape, it will be much more difficult to turn them into people with a heart toward the Tang Dynasty until they assimilate them completely.
Now that the Khitan people understand and have initially adapted to the rule of the country, they do not yet have such a deep national consciousness, which is most suitable for Li Zhi's transformation.
By that time, the Khitan people had been transformed, and it was easier for the prairie people to influence the prairie people than to let the Central Plains change the prairie people.
"Yaluabaoji's efforts for many years seem to be making wedding clothes for you."
Looking at the Khitans who are repairing the Xilou city, King Qi sent such feelings.
The errands of transferring the Khitan prisoners and slaves to the Khitan and Huangtou were completed a few days ago. Now most of them are in the Tang army camp and controlled by the Tang army. Only those who perform well can be released Camp to repair their former capital.
According to Li Zhi's arrangement, these people will also be the first people to obtain Datang's "hukou". They will be recognized and protected by Datang, and will return to the pastoral life they were familiar with and loved.
Qi Qi ’s feelings, Li Zhi heard a lot these days, all sent by the officials.
Li Zhi came to Khitan, since it is to change here, to rule here, it is naturally impossible not to bring civil servants. The army was followed by civilians, and the place was immediately taken over after the war, which was his usual method when he conquered the Central Plains.
Some students from Chang'an Xiushang Academy who had previously served in the military also joined the ranks of civilian officials and began to be protected by monks from the Tang Dynasty and the army. .
There are grassland herders as guides-especially the Khitans, and their errands have no reason to go wrong.
The purpose of cultivating students at Chang'an Xiuxing College is to be used by the country after graduation, so they actually know more about grasslands than ordinary civilians.
Just like Zhang Changan, before he entered the grassland, he learned several mainstream languages on the grassland. Although he didn't speak well, he could barely communicate, which is the manifestation.
"Predecessors planted trees and enjoyed the rest. This is used on Yeluabao's body. It sounds weird, but the truth is that." Li Yi smiled and responded to King Qi.
In fact, what he wants to say is that on earth, the reason why Huaxia is the later Huaxia is the result of the continuous efforts of countless heroes and philosophers.
Some of them are in order to achieve their own imperial dominance, and some of them are to achieve the level of advancement, but from the perspective of the long river, without their efforts, there would be no great integration of the Chinese nation before Li Zhi's crossing. situation.
Although the process has been twists and turns, there is more blood and fire, and the disaster and pain are also deeper.
In this sense, Yeluabaoji is just one of them.
"The funeral ceremony for Yeluabaoji is coming,
Originally, I didn't think you would have to show up at that time, but after hearing what you just said, I thought that you should write a ritual for him. "King Qi thought for a while.
Li Yan agreed with this, "should write a ritual."
When Yeluabaoji was buried, there were sacrifices given to him by the Tang people, which also meant that he was officially recognized by the Tang Dynasty. The hidden meaning was that Khitan became part of the Tang Dynasty and already belonged to the Tang Dynasty.
This is the conclusion.
I don't know if Yeluabaoji heard the news, would he climb out of the coffin.
"By the way, what are you going to do with Yueduo?" Qi Wang grinned evilly.
Li Yan rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested in her, naturally you can do whatever you want."
He is not a loser. He does not need to conquer his opponent's woman to show his strength. He is not a pervert. He does not need a woman who insults other kings to satisfy his dark mind. He is not Cao Mengde. He has a weirdness of collecting his wife. .
Seeing that Li Zhi didn't take Yuelidu into his eyes, King Qi was serious: "This woman is still pretty good, so she can make a difference.
"At the moment, Khitan needs a commander on the table to consolidate people's hearts for the dynasty. This role is better for women than men. And as a woman in Yeluabaoji, her presence can better eliminate the Khitan. Hostility to Datang, and all kinds of disturbing factors in Khitan. "
This is a good suggestion.
But Li Yan didn't agree.
The flower in the moon, that is, Shu Luping, is not a simple figure, and it is also famous in history. She is still young, immature, and harmless to see humans and animals, but her ceiling is very high, and she will be an unstable factor in the future.
"Let's talk about this later." Li Yan decided to seriously consider this issue, mainly to look at Yueduo's mind. If she hates Datang, this matter is of great benefit, but it has not been discussed.
Li Ye and Li Maozhen returned to the camp, and the guard reported that Salico was seeking.
"The affairs of the crotch in the West Tower have ended, and it is almost winter, and please ask His Royal Highness An permission to let us return to our territory as soon as possible, and let the cattle and sheep raise some fat before the cold winter comes." Salico Courteous manners, said respectfully.
Due to the long-standing war this year, the number of people grazing on the grassland has decreased too much, and the number of cattle and sheep has decreased. This has led to the growth of pastures.
If the soldiers seize the time to go back to graze, it will indeed allow cattle and sheep to catch up with the last point of gaining weight.
However, Li Zhi knew that the reason why Salico was in a hurry was that he did not want to participate in the funeral ceremony of Yeluabaoji.
This was a cautious act of avoiding suspicion, and Salico did not want Li to feel that he had some sympathy for Yeluabaoji so as not to be jealous of Li.
Salico's concerns are not groundless.
Apart from that, these days, when the cricket and the yellow head were handed over to the Khitan captives, because the chief had just died, they were dissatisfied. Under the encouragement of some strong men who could not see the situation, some yellow heads The soldier was unworthy.
As a result, the West Tower, where the war had ended, was filled with corpses and blood flowed into the river.
The yellow head, which was only slightly weaker than the crotch, is now more than half the size of the crotch.
Sarike certainly knows that Li Yan does not want to suppress the yellow head extra, which will make the grassland situation
Imbalance. After all, the three heads of the yellow head, the crotch, and the Khitan stand taller than the balance between the crotch and the Khitan, which is much better for Datang.
But the yellow-headed man was seeking death by himself, and Li Zhi was not soft-hearted.
Salico did not want to face Li Yan who was so murderous. For fear of the day, Li Yan felt that the strength of the crotch was a little stronger, and then found a reason to kill a group of people in the clan.
This kind of thing is unreasonable to say, but Salico has to worry about it becoming a reality.
"The chief will leave, and loneliness will not stop it. This war, the ministry's contribution will not be small, and loneliness will remember. If the chieftain has leisure in Japan, he is welcome to come to Chang'an as a guest, and he will do his best. Smile is very kind.
Salico couldn't help shuddering. He can't see Li Yan laughing now, always feels that there is a knife in his smile; and what he says from Li Yan's mouth, he can't help but think deeply.
For example, now Li Li said that he is welcome to go to Chang'an as a guest. In the opinion of Salico, he is threatening him to be careful, otherwise he will be arrested.
As for the friendship of the landlord, huh, I don't know if it is a glass of poisonous wine.
Salico frightened himself, and soon became panicky. In order to escape, he gritted his teeth and tried to make himself smile sincerely and charmingly. "His Royal Highness, I don't think there are many cattle and sheep in West Tower. King An's plan is unfavorable. The clan is willing to contribute 300,000 sheep, 50,000 cattle, and 10,000 war horses, only to help His Highness ... "
They seized the West Tower and plundered not only the Khitans, but also the wealth of the Khitans.
After Li Zhi arrived, he just let them release the Khitans and did not deprive them of their spoils. In Li Zhi's words, you violated the military order and Guo punished you, but Guo is very trustworthy and will not blackmail you.
So although Sariko was afraid of Li Yan, he was not very dissatisfied with Li Yan.
Li Ye was very surprised by Sariko's profound meaning, but he would not refuse such a good thing. Besides, this was also the initiative of the other party. Furthermore, Xilou now lacks cattle and sheep. "The chief is so generous. . "
Seeing Li Ye's satisfaction, Mr. Salek breathed a sigh of relief.
After the crotch left, the new yellow-headed chief came to resign. The new chief was quite young, and he was less than 40 years old. He was selected as the new chief. There were still people who disagreed. After Tang Jun killed many people, he is now in a solid position.
The yellow head also actively contributed many cattle and sheep.
Coupled with the gifts from the Ministry, Tang Jun's rations have a short-term guarantee, and the Khitans in the West Tower also have the capital to rebuild their homes, so Li Zhi does not have to find them food elsewhere.
A few days later, the funeral ceremony of Yeluabaoji went smoothly, and the Tang Dynasty civil servants announced the ritual in public.
Then, a generation of unstoppable Yeluabaoji entered the ground for peace.
There are many Khitans participating in the ceremony. From the powerful to the ordinary soldiers, Yeluabaoji is their hero after all.
When the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty read the sacrifice, ordinary soldiers could only realize that the hero's Yeluabaoji was recognized by Tang, which made them proud and proud. They did not understand that, in the subconscious, they had agreed with Datang for the first time to handle grassland affairs.
The Khitan dignitaries are complex. Although most people can only feel weird, the clever ones have understood what this ritual means. His face has changed greatly over the years, and he is full of sadness, knowing that he has completely lost his power and status on the grassland.
