The Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, which was held for three years after the revival of the Dahua Empire, was more lively and grand than any previous year.
The four directions come to the court, and the eight directions come to congratulate.
Sitting on the dragon chair and looking at the officials of the Dahua Dynasty who can travel several miles, Zhang Chao really has a feeling of floating.
As Zhang Chao, who has experienced the three dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, this year's court meeting has indeed surpassed any previous Tang Dynasty, even if Li Shimin was not on the scale of today.
This scale is not because Zhang Chao is happy and likes to rehearse the scene.
He didn't make any silk trees, but entertained Hu merchants for free and invited them to come.
There will be no tributary trade.
The grandeur of today's Dahua Zhengdan Dynasty is entirely because Dahua is indeed powerful now.
This power is no longer just a system of the Celestial Empire that was established with the Central Plains as the core and radiating East Asia with the Tang Dynasty in the past.
Today's Dahua has stepped out of the Central Plains, rushed out of Asia, and stepped onto a larger world stage.
It can even be said unceremoniously that today's Dahua has become the center of the world and a beacon of civilization.
The name of the Great Chinese Empire has spread all over the world.
In the past, the center of the East was the Central Plains Dynasty, but the Central Plains Dynasty was also repeatedly harassed by the invasion and attack of the steppe nomads, the Qin and Han Empires fought endlessly with the Xiongnu, and when they arrived in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Rouran, Xianbei and then to the Turks, a powerful nomadic tribe, had pressed the Central Plains Dynasty breathlessly, and even once had to pay tribute to them.
Until now, Dahua has completely wiped out the Turks, and the northern steppes have completely bowed to the Central Plains.
At today's court meeting, the leaders of the two steppe khanates, Qibi and Huifu, the two khans of Qibi Ge and Yaoge Tumidu, personally rushed to Hanjing with a large delegation of court.
The two khans each presented 10,000 horses and 100,000 cattle and sheep to Dahua.
This gift is shockingly generous.
What made Zhang Chao and Dahua even more satisfied was that the two khans took the initiative to ask Dahua to change the status of the vassal states of the two countries to feudal vassal states.
The two countries voluntarily gave up their status as vassal states, and were willing to become vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and even willing to give up the status of dominions, and directly became the princes of the Tang Dynasty in one step.
There is a huge correlation between vassal states and vassal states.
It can be said that the vassal state is only a suzerainty with Dahua, but it is independent in all aspects, whether it is domestic affairs, foreign affairs, or military affairs.
But the vassal states that become Dahua are different, and the vassal states are part of the empire.
It is necessary to fully implement the laws and taxes of Dahua, to pay taxes to the imperial court, to limit the amount of troops, and even to have independent diplomatic and belligerent rights.
But the two khans still took the initiative to ask to become the vassal states of Dahua.
Zhang Chao believed that it was not his domineering spirit that deterred them.
It was Dahua's great strength that shocked them.
With the great victory of the Great East Expedition this year, the imperial court has already destroyed Baekje and Silla, and even the Wa Kingdom will definitely not last long.
The destruction of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla on the Korean Peninsula is extraordinary.
The Three Kingdoms have existed for a long time and are very powerful, especially because they are all agrarian countries with large populations.
Dahua's annexation of the Three Kingdoms not only quickly rose to a higher level of strength, but also played an extremely important role in stabilizing Dahua's northeast.
In particular, it can stabilize the eastern and northern Liaobei regions, and it is also very strong in deterring these tribes such as the Yan Ya and the Murowei.
If you add the Khitan, Xi, and Xia that Dahua destroyed earlier this year, Dahua is as stable as Mount Tai in the northeast.
And after Dahua destroyed Xue Yantuo, no one on the grassland could dare to go against Dahua.
In the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, the north and south of the Yinshan Mountains in the north, plus the places in Liaodong and Liaobei, and the north of Yanshan, Dahua continued to advance northward.
There is only one Mobei area left, which is surrounded by Dahua on three sides.
Hui and Khibi were actually worried, for fear that one day, Dahua would find an excuse to fight the Khitan, Xi, Xi, Xi, Baekje, Silla, and Dongying.
The two khans have also repeatedly gone out with the Dahua army, and they are deeply aware of the terrifying strength of the Dahua army now, which is even stronger than the Tang Dynasty.
From the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Xing Dynasty and then to the Tang Dynasty of the Great Hua Dynasty, in just over 20 years, the once powerful Turks have long been wiped out, and there is no longer a shadow of the Turks.
In the past, there were still Khazars on the western coast who claimed to be Turkic, but now, under the pressure of Dahua, they have given up the title of Turks and renamed the Khazar Khanate and no longer call themselves Turks.
Those Turkic people who were conquered and moved inward are now Chinese in their household registers and identity cards.
There are no more Turks in this world.
Even the Tiele people, who have continued to exist in Mobei for hundreds of years, have now become Hui and Qibi people, and the times are changing.
It's changing too fast.
In the past, the Central Plains and the grassland, although you fought back and forth, but basically no matter how you fought, the division between the grassland and the Central Plains was still very clear, and one grassland tribe weakened and replaced by a new tribe.
Anyway, even if the Central Plains is strong for a while, the Northern Expedition to the grassland will at most repel the powerful tribe, and it will not be able to control the grassland instead.

It depends on supporting a new tribe to control the grasslands.
But now Dahua is no longer this routine.
Dahua really fought all the way, outside the Great Wall, and then he had to hold on to the control all the time.
It used to be just a line of troops on the Great Wall, relying on the fortress defense group.
But now, the Belt and Road Initiative, Dahua has played the feudal princes and the fortress iron cable.
A prince who is divided into the steppe, at least a castle.
One by one, the feudal lords, and the castles were connected like iron cables, as if they were choking the throats of their steppe tribes, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Last year, Dahua successively divided more than a dozen princes to Mobei.
The fiefs they divided were actually supposed to belong to the Qibi and the Hui, and the Dahua Emperor divided them over, and the two Khans dared to say no The dozen or so princes divided by Emperor Dahua even had four princes.
Turkic, Xueyantuo, Khitan, Xi, Xia, as well as Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and perhaps the next one is their Khibi and Hui.
The two khans came to congratulate with so many cattle, sheep and horses this time, and they were also forced to do so.
It is not so easy to be a free Khan in Mobei.
In particular, they were rewarded several times by Emperor Dahua last year, and every time the envoy who came to the reward talked to them, these words were all hints.
Taking the initiative to become a feudal prince seemed to be their only option.
"The minister asks His Majesty to grant the Dahua Charter Law, requests His Majesty to send ministers and generals, asks His Majesty to help his ministers form a parliament, asks His Majesty to send the imperial history, and asks His Majesty to help reorganize the army" Qi Bige knelt in front of the emperor in a daze, and asked Chengken to become a feudal vassal state of Dahua, and asked the Dahua court to help them restructure.
Yao Ge Luo Tu Du also followed suitably and begged.
Looking at the two powerful khans of Mobei, kneeling and begging to become the vassal states of Dahua at this time, Zhang Chao was really satisfied.
The two khans of Mobei have basically annexed the remnants of Xue Yantuo, and they have a strong unification of the Tiele tribes, and the two khans each have no less than 200,000 troops.
This is a very strong strength, these Tiele people grew up on the back of a pony, everyone is a cavalry, quite a horse.
At the moment, they are naturally intimidated by Dahua's military might, and they dare not have the slightest chaos, especially with the experience of the Turks and Xue Yantuo and others, they will definitely be very honest.
But in the long run, if the imperial court does not strengthen its control over Mobei, then sooner or later, these nomadic tribes of Mobei will still invade south.
This is the case again and again in history, the grassland tribes have no memory, or in twenty or thirty years, they will forget that they were beaten by the Central Plains before.
In Zhang Chao's past plan, he would definitely not let Mobei go.
But if you rule here, it will not be easy.
It's just conquest, then the two khanates are also very strong now, and Dahua has no legitimate reason to send troops, in the priority sequence of Dahua's foreign conquest war, Mobei is actually still at the back.
Hit directly, the effect will not be very good, Zhang Chao is still more inclined to use some other means.
Historically, the Manchus ruled the Mongols by means of marriage and kinship, and they were indeed very successful.
However, Zhang Chao was reluctant to use this method, and he looked down on the grassland people too much, and treated them too favorably.
Ma Zhou once proposed coercion and inducement to force the two khanates to agree to become the vassal states of Dahua, so that Dahua could intervene in Mobei in a straightforward manner.
As long as the two countries are restructured and become the vassal states of Dahua, then they will be put on a golden hoop by Dahua, and whether they will be flattened or pinched at that time is not all up to Dahua.
Zhang Chao thinks that if this plan is feasible, it can also be.
It's just that he originally thought that the Tiele people in Mobei would not be easy to comply, after all, after becoming a vassal state, they would not even be vassals, but would directly become a part of Dahua.
But he still underestimated Dahua's current prestige.
Several envoys went to Mobei a few times, and the effect was still obvious.
The kings of the two khans really took the initiative to ask to become vassal states.
Great good thing.
"I am very happy that the two Aiqing have this intention, since the second Qing pleads, then I will agree."
Zhang Chao smiled and nodded.
Hearing that the emperor finally agreed, Qi Bi Ge and Yao Ge Tu Tudu, who were lying on the ground and pleading, both felt relieved.
Finally agreed, and they could breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Zhang Chao did not canonize the two sweats immediately, he had other considerations in his heart.
The two khans wanted to become the princes of Dahua, so they were integrated into Dahua, but they were actually protected.
After all, Dahua has the constitution to protect the interests of the princes, and when they become the princes of Dahua, the Dahua emperor and the imperial court cannot easily move them.
How could Zhang Chao not know their plans, so he was not in a hurry to canonize them.
The seal must be sealed in the end, but how to seal it is not simple.

Simply giving Mobei to the two khans as their vassal states is very irresponsible.
In the future, Mobei will only be these two countries, and it will inevitably be difficult to fall.
Zhang Chao's plan is to divide Mobei into many vassal states that are not unified with each other, large and small, and divide them to the leaders of those large and small tribes, so that the Mobei tribes can really be controlled by the Tang Dynasty, instead of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. t1706231537:
