Kaiyuan three years.
Hanjing, Forbidden Palace Manna Hall.
Here Su Lie personally reported the results of the Northern Expedition to the emperor.
The results of the battle were very brilliant, capturing Xue Yantuo Khan Yi Nan, capturing Khitan Khan Dahe Mohui, Dahe Cave Brother and Son, Xi Khan Kedu.
It lasted more than a year, and there were several major battles before and after, destroying more than 30,000 Xue Yantuo troops, more than 20,000 Xi and Khitan troops, and more than 20,000 Murowei, Jianya, and Xia tribes.
Tiele Hui and Chebi surrendered.
Captured three sweats and annihilated more than 70,000 enemies.
The total number of slashes was more than 30,000, and there were nearly 50,000 prisoners.
Now not only Monan has been recovered, but even the land of Xiqi has been captured.
Along the Tuhe River all the way to Huangshui, that is, the area from the Tuha River to the Xiliao River in the later generations, this large area of land is now directly in the hands of the Tang Army.
The remnants of the soldiers such as Murowei, Jian, Xia, and Tiele fled north one after another.
"Marshal Su has made great achievements, this battle has determined the peace of my northern Tang Dynasty for 20 years, and opened up thousands of miles of territory for the Tang Dynasty, and I will be rewarded heavily."
The proclamator stepped forward and read out the edict.
Su Dingfang, the deputy envoy of the Jin Privy Council and the king of Mulu County, was the king of Mulu, and he was given a fief of 100 li in northern Liao, and one of his sons was given as the founding son.
Jiasu Dingfang Prince Taibao title, Jin Hussar General Dispersed Official, awarded the Prince as a guest, and the original privy deputy envoy remained unchanged.
After the success of the first battle, he was promoted to the king of knighthood, and the scattered rank was also promoted to the top of the military generals from the first rank.
All the ministers in the hall looked at this general, who was just over fifty, the most dazzling general of the empire.
The emperor's generous promotion to the rank of Prince Su Lie this time can be regarded as surprising to the government and the opposition.
Today's title is not as noble as in the past, and it is difficult to withdraw after being sealed.
But the emperor still sealed it, and even specially crowned Su Lie's son as the founder of the country.
"Minister Su Lie, Your Majesty Xie" After returning to Beijing, Cen Wenwen and Qin Qiong revealed that he wanted to be promoted to the rank of lord this time, but when he really received the edict of Jin, he was still extremely excited.
The second king of the Tang Dynasty with a different surname.
However, his exploits are indeed not small, this time, he directly destroyed the Three Kingdoms and captured the Three Khans.
Xue Yantuo was destroyed in this country, and Mobei was now divided into two by the imperial court, divided into the Khibi Khanate in the west and the Uighur Khanate in the east.
The Xi and Khitan in the eastern part of the grassland have always been vassals during the unification of the grassland in the past, and they were also once vassals of the Central Plains Dynasty.
These two have also been given surnames and kings by the Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that he stood on the wrong team this time and was directly destroyed by Su Lie.
Li Chengqian did not intend to keep these two countries anymore, and did not even give them the opportunity to dominate, and directly classified the Xi land as Raole Road and the Khitan land as Song Mo Road.
Like Liaoxi, Liaodong and Korea, Liangdao is a place directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Originally, many courtiers thought that these two places should be set up as the places of feudal feuds of the princes, after all, this place is far away from the Central Plains.
In addition, Yanshan used this to be between Yanshan and the Xi people, and the imperial court also divided that land into a feudal territory for the princes.
Now that the imperial court has set the land of Xiqi further north as a direct jurisdiction, the princes of Yanbei are wrapped in the middle.
Some courtiers also proposed that it would be better to transfer the princes of Monan and Yanbei to the land of Xiqi.
But the emperor vetoed it.
He didn't say whether he would change the seals for the princes of Monan and Yanbei in the future, but now, he didn't plan to divide the land of Xi Qi that he had just laid.
He directly set the two places as direct provinces.
As for how the imperial court wants to control this distant territory, this is a matter for the future, anyway, although there is a gap between the princes of Yanbei, but in the east, it is connected to Liaoxi and Liaodong, so these two places are not complete enclaves.
What's more, even if it's an enclave, will Cheng Qian care?
The three ports of Xindu, Yongji, and Xinji are not all real enclaves, but so what.
Now Cheng Qian's brain is more active.
He no longer thinks distance is everything.
Starting from Hanjing, arrive at Gaochang by land, follow Hanjing, take the Hanjiang Yangtze River waterway, and then sail to Xindu Port.
A ship can carry thousands of stone supplies and supplies, and to transport thousands of stone materials to Gaochang by land, the wear and tear is quite amazing, and a lot of manpower and animal power are required.
This is like the Korean Road seems to be far away from the Central Plains, but in fact it is very close, convenient to travel and transportation.
The power of the princes is strong enough, and they can no longer be easily divided.

To be sealed, there are also places that can be sealed, such as Mobei, such as Liaobei.
Even the vast northeast jungle occupied by the people of the white mountains and black waters farther away can be divided.
Su Lie returned to the dynasty this time, and he had also officially returned the letter of the military talisman.
Promoted to the rank of Privy Councillor, he ceased to serve as Marshal of the Southern Ya.
Cheng Qian's nomination of Zhang Gongjin for the post of marshal of the Southern Ya was finally passed after several days of contention in the cabinet, and Cheng Qian nominated Qu Tutong to be the marshal of the Northern Expedition to lead the rotation of the Northern Expedition of the Fourth Army of the Southern Ya.
The target is the relatively weak Kabubu, which is close to Huangshui.
Since the strength is weak, and he still dares to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, of course he has to be swept away.
Even if it was far away, Datang would not let him go, and after Su Lie swept away Xi Qi, Cheng Qian ignored the opposition of the ministers and resolutely wanted to transfer back Su Lie and the Sixth Army of the Guards.
In this regard, in the end, with the support of the eldest grandson Wuji and others, Fang Xuanling and others also made concessions, although Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang opposed, but finally passed the emperor's decision.
The division of the Sixth Army of the Guards returned to the DPRK and returned to the Wujing garrison to guard.
And the selection and transfer of the four armies from the Nanya, and the beginning of the transfer to the north, first to build roads and military stations in Xiqi, after the food and ordnance are transported over, all preparations are sufficient, then when the autumn is high and the horse is fat, Qu Tutong will officially lead the four armies of the Nanya and the princes of the north to attack the Xibu.
At that time, both Hui and Qi Bi will be ordered to send troops to assist.
At present, both departments have returned to Mobei, and they want to send an edict to sweep the remnants of Xue Yantuo.
After defeating the Xiabu, Datang's next target will be Murowei and Shen Ya, both of which are in the extremely cold northern, but even so, Cheng Qian will not let them go.
Since the last time Zhang Chao played the chapter, handed over the right to issue banknotes to the imperial court, and agreed to the imperial court to levy special taxes on sugar, wine, porcelain, etc., the relationship between the court and the monarch and the minister has been eased.
At the Zhengdan Imperial Meeting, the people of the entire Hanjing saw the wealth and strength shown by the Tang Dynasty.
After the New Year, the imperial court did several big things.
First, Su Lie destroyed Xi and Qi in the north, and then the class returned to the dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty had two more ways.
After the New Year, the imperial court's West Sea Fleet, led by Zhang Liang, entered the Red Sea and fought with the Arabs in the Sinai Peninsula north of the Suez Canal with the Roman and Axumite forces.
The fighting is progressing fairly well, and it is said that large areas of the north shore have been captured.
Li Jing's grandson, Li Boyao, also served as the general of the South China Sea Fleet Jing Yuan a year later, and he led the South China Sea Fleet to launch an attack on the Arakanese with Yongji Port as its base camp. in North Korea.
The North Sea Fleet's Anlan Grand Admiral Liu Renliang also led his army south and launched an attack on the Baekje people first.
In Funan.
Cui Yan, the governor of Funan, is still at war with the Chenla people, and has restored the land of Funan, captured all the estuary plains of the Mekong River, and has begun to invade the territory of Chenla along the river.
The Tang army attacked everywhere, and even the princes were not willing to be lonely.
Xindu, Wang Xuance and other Xindu princes not only withstood the siege of the King of the Ring Sun, but even began to fight back frequently.
In the West Sea and Hezhong, and in Daxia, the princes of the Tang Dynasty also began to frequently fight with the Arabs, although it was not yet a full-scale war, but the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Arabs was already unstable.
Even Zhang Chao and Zhang Jing, who are far away in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, can't be idle.
Zhang Jing made a recital, saying that the king was disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, and claimed to be the emperor and insulted the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and the Duchy of Liuqiu was close to the Wa Kingdom, and as a prince of the Tang Dynasty, he had the obligation to maintain the majesty of the Tang Empire and the Tang Emperor.
He asked for an army to be sent to the Japanese state.
This request made Cheng Qian a little confused.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, he still wanted to veto.
He felt that this was the Zhang family's desire to take the opportunity to expand, even if it was not to occupy the land of the Wa Kingdom, it must have taken a fancy to the population and wealth of the Wa Kingdom.
However, Zhang Jing's proposal was supported by many ministers, especially Cen Wenwen and others.
In the end, the request for troops was passed in the House of Representatives.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chao, the king of Luzon, Li Xiuning, the king of Annam, and Zhang Tielan, the king of Java, all requested to send troops to the Japanese state, and the proposals were successfully passed.
The people all think that the Taishi family is so good, and someone insults the Tang Dynasty, and they are the first to come out to defend it.
However, Cheng Qian felt that something was wrong, and Liuqiu approached the Japanese Kingdom, and Zhang Jing wanted to rob the Japanese people and grab some money.
But Zhang Chao's Luzon, Princess Zhenguo's Golden Peninsula, and Zhang Tiegun's Java are all far away from the Wa Kingdom.
They are all vying to fight the Japanese state, and there must be something wrong with this.
After thinking about it, Cheng Qian decided that Zhang Chao had only one purpose, that is, to annex the Wa Kingdom before the imperial court captured Silla and Baekje.
The imperial court's plan was to first capture Baekje and Silla on the Korean Peninsula, and then take advantage of the situation to conquer the Wa Kingdom and destroy the three kingdoms in the East China Sea.
Zhang Chao is impatient, this is to take the tiger's mouth.
Cheng Qian wanted to stop it, but the eldest grandson Wuji dissuaded him.

In the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji, it doesn't matter whether Zhang Chao wants to rob the Japanese people, or simply wants to annex the Japanese kingdom first.
Although the Wa Kingdom seems to be small, it has a lot of people and soldiers, especially in the environment of the island country, it is not so easy for Zhang Chao to annex the Wa State at once.
Let Zhang Chao take the lead, and it can also relieve the pressure of the imperial court on the Korean battlefield.
It is impossible for Zhang Chao to destroy the Wa Kingdom, but the imperial court has not even captured Baekje Silla, Changsun Wuji thinks that this is impossible, how can the strength of the imperial court be given to Zhang Jiaqiang, even if the Zhang family's grandfather and grandson still call their lovers to go into battle, it is far inferior to the imperial court.
Let Zhang Chao take advantage of it.
However, this cheap cannot be fully taken up by Zhang Chao's family.
The eldest grandson Wuji conspired, imitating the imperial court's plan against Goguryeo, allowing nobles or ordinary people to apply for a permit to plunder the Japanese and allow them to plunder the Japanese in the Japanese realm. t1706231537:
