Chapter 184 Start! In the second year of Zhenguan, the emperor issued an edict: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was great chaos in the world, which caused famine and corpses everywhere. It made people sad and sad. He ordered the officials in various places to bury the corpses."
In the middle of the year, Du Ruhui was dismissed from the title of Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and went to the Zhongshu Province to discuss politics, participate in state affairs, take charge of the Ministry of War, and serve as Minister of the Ministry of War.
Ji Song was stunned when he heard the news. He didn't expect that the inertia of history was still so strong. If he remembered correctly, after Li Shimin's coup in the previous life, Du Ruhui was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he did not know why he was changed to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Now that he has joined the Ministry of War, he can make full use of his talents. With his ability to make good decisions, he can also play a greater role in the Ministry of War.
In April, the Turkic Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan fought. Li Shimin and Tuli Khan were sworn brothers, and they had covenant restrictions with Jieli, so he asked everyone for their opinions!
At first, the Turkic Turli Khan built Yazhi to the north of Youzhou, and the main force was eastward. Dozens of tribes including Xi and others rebelled against the Turks and came to surrender. Jieli Khan blamed them for his failure.
When Xue Yantuo, Huihe and others were defeated in Gushe (name), Jieli sent Tuli to fight against them. Tuli's troops were defeated again, and their Qingqi rushed back.
Jieli was furious and detained him for more than ten days before beating him up. He suddenly felt resentful and wanted to rebel against sent troops to Tuli several times, but Tuli refused and invited him to join the court.
After Li Shimin found out, he asked everyone: "The Turks are so powerful that they can control millions of people. They rely on Xia in the mausoleum and use their arrogance to lose their people."
Now that I invite you to join the imperial court, it is not because I am poor, but I am willing to do so!When I heard it, I was both happy and afraid.
Why?If the Turks decline, the border will be peaceful, so I am , I may lose my way, and I will be like the Turks in the future. How can I not be afraid!Qing Cao should not hesitate to give you painstaking advice to help me if I fail to catch you. "
In fact, it means: "The decline of the Turks will bring peace to the borders of the Tang Dynasty, so I am happy. However, if I make mistakes, I will be like the Turks in the future. Can I not worry about it? I hope that you can speak out and give me hard advice to help me make up for my shortcomings."
This is the genius of Li Shimin. He can learn from his enemies and take them as a he is not the suspicious Sky Khan he was in his later years.
He knows his own shortcomings and yet speaks out. He wants everyone to remind him when the time it's a show or real, this kind of modesty and cautiousness is commendable.
Jieli Khan sent troops to attack Tuli. Tuli sent people to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin and the ministers planned: "I have become brothers with Tuli. I have to save him when he is in danger."
However, Jieli Khan also made a covenant with us, what should we do? "
At this time, Du Ruhui, the new Minister of War, said: "The Rongdi people do not keep their promises and will definitely break their promises in the future. If they do not take advantage of the chaos and attack now, they will regret it in the future. Those who seek chaos will invade the army that is about to die. This has been true since ancient times. It makes sense since time immemorial.”
The next day, the Khitan leader led his tribes to surrender to the Tang Khan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, requesting that Liang Shidu be exchanged for the Khitan tribe. Taizong said to the Turkic envoys: "The Khitans and you Turks are of different races. Now you have come to submit to me, the Tang Dynasty. What do you have?" Reason to ask for it? Do you really think Datang is easy to bully?
Liang Shidu was originally a Han from the Central Plains. He invaded the land of the Tang Dynasty and oppressed the people of the Tang Dynasty. The Turks accepted him and protected him. The Tang Dynasty raised troops to attack Liang Shidu. You sent troops to rescue the Liang family. The Liang family is like a fish swimming in a cauldron. Sooner or later, the Liang family will be destroyed. Destroyed by if it cannot be eliminated for a while, the surrendered Khitan people will not be replaced by him. "
Li Shimin's decisiveness is surprising, and his courage is even more shocking! You must know that the national power of the Tang Dynasty at this time was not as good as that of the Turks. This is universally recognized. However, it was so stubborn under the threat of the Turks. This actually shows the nature of Jie Li. He would sacrifice his life for small gains and forget about death when encountering a small gain. A strong enemy is as timid as a mouse.
This statement made the Turkic envoys reluctant and had no choice but to return to the grassland.
Prior to this, Li Shimin had learned that the Turks were fighting internally and the political situation was chaotic, and that they could not protect Liang Shidu. He sent letters to persuade him to surrender, but Liang Shidu refused to he sent Shi Sima Liu Lancheng, the governor of Xiazhou, to try to deal with him. Liu Lan and others repeatedly sent light cavalry to trample the land and seedlings in the area occupied by the Liang family. They often used counterintuitive tactics to alienate their monarchs and ministers. As the country gradually declined, they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. People from the court came one after another.
Liang Shi's famous general Li Zhengbao and others conspired to arrest him. The matter was exposed and he defected to the Tang Dynasty. From then on, the Liang family became more suspicious of each other.
Liu Lan and others knew that the time had come and requested to send troops to Shimin sent the right guard general Chai Shao and the palace's young eunuch Xue Wanjun to lead their troops to attack. He also asked Liu and others to defend the east city of Shuofang and advance to force the Liang clan.
Liang Shidu led the Turkic troops to Shuofangdong City, but Liu Lancheng stopped his troops and stopped fled in the middle of the night, but Liu Lancheng pursued and defeated Liang.
The Turks mobilized a large number of troops to rescue the Liang family. Chai Shao and others led their troops to a place dozens of miles away from Shuofang, met the Turks soldiers, fought hard, defeated the Turks soldiers, and surrounded Shuofang City.
The Turkic soldiers did not dare to go to the rescue, and the city was running out of Shidu's cousin Liang Luoren killed Shidu and surrendered the city. The Tang Dynasty used the land to build Xiazhou.
This is how a great generation of heroes came to an end. In the end, they were betrayed and separated from their relatives, and their heads were missing. It was so sad! At this point, it can be said that after the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, the situation of warlord separatism in China has completely come to an end!
The Tang Dynasty also completely began to recuperate, and Li Shimin began to rectify the national strength and prepare for the future.
You must know that the alliance under the city was a great shame and humiliation for him. If he met a weak one, it would be fine, just like Song Zhenzong in later generations.
But how proud is Li Shimin that he can bear this anger?If it weren't for the poor livelihood of the people in the country and the waste of resources waiting to be revitalized, he would have fought a battle with Jie Li long ago.
This was also the strength of the former Sui Dynasty that stimulated him. If he could not surpass it in this life, it would be a permanent thorn in his heart.
Although Ji Song did not go to court, both his teacher Li Gang and the court's newspaper could know the court's trends.
However, he has no time to care about this now, because farming is about to begin.
After preparing for such a long time, he started gathering people to open up wasteland in September last year, and now there are nearly 20 acres of new farmland.
Thousands of pieces of Quyuanli were neatly arranged in front of his eyes. Even he who had seen the world felt unbearably excited! Not to mention Liu Zhan and others, all of them were so excited that they started to show off.
Have people of this era ever seen such a spectacular sight?Normally, each household farms independently. When have you ever seen a large-scale farming scene like a big farm? "start!"
Ji Song gave an order, and the people who had been prepared for a long time put the plows on the cattle, one person led the cattle and the other helped the plow.
A shout and a crack of scene of tens of thousands of people farming was unfolding before his eyes. It was a scene that he couldn't get enough of.
It represents hard work and harvest, as well as hope and the deepest throbbing imprinted in the genes of the Han other nation can utilize their farming talents to such an extent! Yesterday was Qiao Mu’s birthday, but Qiao Mu completely forgot about it. Thank you Ani for the birthday gift. Qiao Mu liked it very much!
