On the way from leaving Liaodong to returning to Chang'an, Zhao Yunze was thinking about the problems of the Khitan Department and the Yan Dynasty.Don't look at the two tribes who are full of kindness to Datang now, that's because they are too poor and envy the life of the people of Datang.It's also because they're too weak that they don't have ambitions.But there is a good saying, "If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different", if one day, the Jin Ya and Khitan tribes are strong, it is difficult to ensure that they do not covet the Central Origin.Zhao Yunze knew that the Liao State during the Song Dynasty was a country established by the Khitans, and it often invaded the Central Plains.For the Khitan Department and the Yan Tribe, if the disposal method is not appropriate, it will either chill the hearts of these two tribes and make the Tang Dynasty lose external assistance; Either that, it is to raise tigers for trouble, leaving hidden dangers for Datang's border security in the future.It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yunze is particularly concerned about the Khitan Department and the Yan Dynasty.After silently sorting out his thoughts, Zhao Yunze said to Li Shimin: "The minister thinks that the best way to treat foreign races is to assimilate them and let them become the people of the Central Plains. ”Li Shimin said: "I don't know that this is the best method, but this is a long-term strategy" Zhao Yunze said: "Even if it takes a long time, for the stability of the Central Plains in the future, this strategy must be implemented."
Now, it's time to try the Khitan Department and the Yan Ya Department.See if you can find an easy way to assimilate the alien. ”"It seems that Peng Yu has an article in his mind.Let's talk about how you are going to assimilate the Khitan and the Ya tribe. ”"The minister's idea is to move some people of different races inward, and at the same time, some of the people of the Central Plains will be moved to different places to form mixed residences.Thus dividing the alien races, so that they cannot form a joint force. ”Zhao Yunze said, "Those people of different races already admired me in Huaxia.Our Chinese civilization has a strong appeal.Once the situation of mixed living is formed, it will not be long before the people of different races will be influenced by the Han people, change their way of life and beliefs, and become the same people as the Han people. ”The Chinese civilization has a strong tolerance and appeal.In Chinese and foreign history, the Chinese civilization is also the civilization that lasts for the longest time.Take the four ancient civilizations as an example.Ancient Babylon has long since disappeared, and the ancient Indian civilization has long been replaced by foreign civilizations.Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece, those two regions came to later generations, and the people who lived in them were not the people who created the ancient Egyptian civilization and the ancient Greek civilization.Only China, although it has been occupied by foreign races several times in history, but the Chinese civilization has assimilated the invading races.Chinese and foreign history can not be replaced by foreign invasion civilizations, but can assimilate foreign invasion civilizations, and only China is the only one.But in the 21st century, the Chinese seem to pay little attention to their own civilization inheritance.On the contrary, there are too many people who look down on the things left by their ancestors and deliberately pursue foreign spirits.It is true that we have to learn from the strengths of others.But you can't throw away your own good things like a broom."
Only what is national is what is global."
It is precisely because Zhao Yunze realizes the strong tolerance and appeal of Chinese civilization that he wants to assimilate the people of different races.This is the same line of thought that he had previously proposed for the idea of cultural invasion.Li Shimin was silent for a while, and said: "This truth makes sense, but it is really not easy to implement" Zhao Yunze nodded and said: "It's really not easy."
Whether it is the people of the Central Plains or the people of different races, the concept of local is relatively heavy.No one wants to leave their hometowns and businesses to re-establish themselves in other places.But now is a great opportunity.The minister once told the leaders of the Jin and Khitan tribes that if possible, the imperial court would settle many people in the Central Plains who knew how to farm and make craftsmen, and first go to their tribes to live and teach the people of the Jin and Khitan tribes to cultivate crops, as well as textiles, construction, utensils and other crafts.This will improve their living conditions.The leaders of the Ya and Khitan tribes also welcomed the implementation of this initiative by the imperial court. ”"Stop" Li Shimin suddenly raised his hand to stop Zhao Yunze from continuing."
Peng Yu, how can this method you said sound like a thankless effort If it is really as you said, the people of the Central Plains taught these crafts of the alien races in Liaodong, then the Khitan and the Yan tribe will become powerful.Having a strong neighbor is not a good thing for Datang. ”Zhao Yunze smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have raised the minister's moral level too high, and the minister is really not good at sacrificing himself for the benefit of others" "Haha, you Zhao Pengyu recognized himself. ”Li Shimin laughed, "Mo Fei, you have a conspiracy again" "Your Majesty, you have a low moral standard of your ministers. ”Zhao Yunze pretended to be aggrieved and said, "The ministers have always acted uprightly and brightly, so they really have ideas, and that is also Yangmou" "Yangmou is a new word.Then tell me about your schemes. ”That's what the minister thought.If the people of the Central Plains want to move to the Khitan and the Yan Dynasty, the ordinary people are afraid that they are unwilling to respond to this move of the imperial court.Then we will move some of the skilled soldiers to Liaodong.In addition, since the people are moved to help them, shouldn't our officials in the Tang Dynasty also follow the past, govern the people, and coordinate various things The army of the Tang Dynasty should also follow the past to protect the people of the Central Plains" "Wonderful" Li Shimin slapped the table and shouted."
In this way, the Tang Dynasty will put a wedge in the land of Liaodong."
But then, Li Shimin frowned again and said: "The latter words, the Khitan Department and the Yan Ministry" Zhao Yunze smiled and said: "There are some words, the minister naturally can't say them too clearly.Eventually, though, they agreed.Now, it is they who have asked for Datang, not us who have asked for them.It's a big deal, everyone breaks up, and they continue to live their poor lives. ”"Hehe, this is indeed a conspiracy, the leader of the Khitan Department and the Yan Tribe, and there is no way to crack it at all.Either accept Datang to put a wedge in Liaodong, or continue to live a hard life. ”Li Shimin agreed."
The matter of moving the people of the Central Plains to Liaodong will be put aside for the time being.How should the people of the Jin and Khitan tribes move inward?"
"Your Majesty, the minister took the liberty of asking, when do you plan to use troops to the Eastern Turks" Zhao Yunze suddenly asked Li Shimin.Li Shimin sighed and said: "Only you and I are here today, so I will give you a bottom to Peng Yu."
After next autumn at the latest, I plan to use troops in the desert. ”Zhao Yunze said: "The matter of relocating the people of the Khitan Department and the Jin Dynasty Department will also need to wait for the Tang Dynasty to take the Eastern Turkic land before it can be implemented."
First, after the people of the Central Plains arrived in Liaodong, they were afraid that they would not be able to exert much influence on the Yan and Khitan tribes in a short period of time, and their yearning for life in the Central Plains was not strong; Second, after the fall of the Eastern Turks, my Tang Dynasty also showed the terrified military might to the alien tribes in Liaodong, and at that time, even if we forcibly moved them inward, they would not dare to resist. ”"Peng Yu seems to be very confident in the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks," Li Shimin asked playfully.Zhao Yunze said: "If Your Majesty has no confidence, he will not use troops easily" "Hahahaha, you slippery head" Li Shimin laughed.After laughing for a while, Li Shimin nodded and said, "I already know these thoughts about Liaodong.However, I can't decide whether to do this or not.You wait a few days, and then I will give you an answer after I have convened the ministers. ”"There's no hurry.It is the strategy of the imperial court to pass through Liaodong, and the minister is just proposing.As for how to decide, it is all up to Your Majesty. ”After revealing his strategic conception of Liaodong, Zhao Yunze reported to Li Shimin in detail about his trip to the desert years ago.After that, Li Shimin asked about the current situation of the Xiao family, and then asked Zhao Yunze to leave the palace.Li Shimin was also interesting enough, and gave Zhao Yunze another three days of vacation to rest.After Zhao Yunze returned home, there were guests visiting the house, and he had been waiting for a long time
