Chapter 1503 Eighteen Parts of the Prairie
The Grand Chancellery of the Three Years of the Revival of the Great Watson Empire is more lively and grand than ever before.
Come from all directions to congratulate you.
Sitting on the dragon throne and looking at the congratulatory officials of Dahua who could travel a few miles, Zhang Chao really felt like he was floating. As Zhang Chao, who had experienced the three dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, this year's dynasty did surpass any dynasty of the Tang Dynasty in the past, even Li Shimin was not as large as it was in Zhenguan.
This scale is not because Zhang Chao is very fond of praise and likes to show off. He did not make any silk trees, entertain Hu merchants for free, and invite them to come. He would not engage in any tribute trade.
The grandeur of Dahua’s dynasty today is entirely because Dahua is indeed extremely powerful now. This power is no longer just a celestial system that was determined to establish in the past with the Central Plains as the core and radiating to East Asia.
Today, Dahua has already stepped out of the Central Plains, also rushed out of Asia, and reached a larger world stage. It can even be said without hesitation that Dahua today has become the center of the world and the beacon of civilization.
The name of the Great Hua Empire has spread all over the world.
In the past, the Central Plains dynasty was the center of the east, but the Central Plains dynasty was repeatedly invaded by the nomadic peoples on the grassland. During the Qin and Han Empires, the Xiongnu wars were endless. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Rouran, Xianbei and Turks, the powerful nomadic tribes all suppressed the Central Plains dynasty and even had to pay tribute to them for a while.
Until now, Dahua completely destroyed the Turks, and the northern grasslands completely bowed to the Central Plains.
At today's grand dynasty meeting, the leaders of the two grassland khans, Qibi and Yugetumidu, from the Mobei-bei Khans, Qibigeling and Yaogetumidu, personally brought a huge congratulatory mission to Hanjing.
The two knights presented ten thousand war horses and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to Dahua.
This gift is shockingly generous.
What even more satisfying Zhang Chao and Dahua was that the two khans took the initiative to request Dahua to change the status of the two vassal states to the vassal states of the two countries to the vassal states.
The two countries voluntarily gave up their status as vassal states, were willing to become the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and even were willing to give up their status as autonomous territory, and became the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty in one step.
There is a huge relationship between vassal states and vassal states.
The vassal states can be said to be just a sect-minded state with Dahua, but they are independent in all aspects, whether in internal affairs, diplomacy or military affairs. However, it is different to become the vassal states of Dahua, and the vassal states are part of the empire.
We must fully implement Dahua's laws, taxes, and pay taxes to the court. There are restrictions on the amount of the army, and there is even no independent diplomacy, warfare rights, etc.
But the two Khans still took the initiative to ask to become the vassal state of Dahua.
Zhang Chao believed that this was not his domineering aura that convinced them.
This is Dahua's powerful strength that shocked them.
With the great victory of the Eastern Expedition of Great China this year, the imperial court has destroyed Baekje and Silla, and even Japan will definitely not last long.
The three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla on the Korean Peninsula were destroyed, which is extraordinary. The three kingdoms have survived for a long time and are very strong, especially those of them are farming countries with a large population. Dahua's annexation of the Three Kingdoms not only quickly reached a higher level, but also played an extremely important role in stabilizing the northeast of Dahua.
Especially, it can stabilize the Liaodong and northern Liaoning areas, and it has a strong intimidation and submission to tribes such as Marin, Shiwei and others.
If we add the Khitan, Xi and Wu tribes that Dahua destroyed earlier this year, Dahua will be as stable as Mount Tai in the Northeast.
After Dahua destroyed Xue Yantuo, no one on the grassland could dare to do the right thing with Dahua.
In the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, the south of the desert in the north and south of the Yinshan Mountains in the north, and in the north of Liaodong and Liaoning, as well as in the north of Yanshan Mountains, Dahua continues to advance northward.
Only one Mobei region is left, with double-teamed by Dahua on three sides.
The Uighurs and Qiebi Khan were actually worried, fearing that one day, Dahua would make an excuse to attack Khitan, Xi, Shi, Baekje, Silla, and Japan.
The two Khans also went on war with the Dahua army many times, and they knew deeply that the terrifying strength of the Dahua army is stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty.
From the destruction of the Sui Dynasty to the rise of the Tang Dynasty and then to the Dahua Dynasty's reign, the once powerful Turks had long been destroyed, and there was no sign of Turks anymore. In the past, there were the Khasa people on the West Sea claiming to be Turks, but now under the pressure of Dahua, they have given up the title of the Turks and changed the Khasa Khanate to no longer claim to be Turks.
Those Turks who were conquered and moved inward now have become Chinese on their household registration books and identity cards.
There are no Turks in this world.
Even the Tiel people, who have been around in the northern desert for hundreds of years, have now become Uighurs and Qibians, and the times are changing.
It's getting too fast.
In the past, although the Central Plains and the grassland fought back and forth, basically no matter how they fought, the division between the grassland and the central plains was still very clear. A grassland tribe was weak and replaced by an emerging tribe. Anyway, even if the Central Plains were strong for a while, the northern expedition to the grassland would at most repel the powerful tribe and could not replace it to control the grassland.
What we rely on is to support a new tribe to control the grassland.
But now Dahua is no longer the same routine.
Dahua really fought all the way, leaving the Great Wall, and then he had to keep his control.
Once upon a time, the army occupied the Great Wall and leaned against the fortress defense group. But now, on the Belt and Road Initiative, Dahua has started to enfeoff the princes and play the iron chains of fortresses.
A prince who was enfeoffed to the grassland was at least a castle.
The titles of marquis and castles were connected like iron chains, as if they were strangling their throats of grassland tribes, making them difficult to breathe.
Last year, Dahua successively enfeoffed more than a dozen princes to the north of Mobei.
The fiefs they enfeoffed should actually belong to Qiezi and Uighurs. Emperor Dahua enfeoffed them. Do the two Khans dare to say no?
The dozen princes enfeoffed by Emperor Dahua, even four princes.
The Turks, Xueyantuo, Khitan, Xi, Wu, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, maybe the next one is their Khibi and Uighurs.
The two Khans brought so many cattle, sheep and horses to congratulate him this time, and it was also helpless. It was not so easy to be a free khan in Mobei.
Especially last year, they received several rewards from Emperor Dahua. Every time the envoy who came to the rewards talked to them, they were all hinting inside and outside.
Taking the initiative to request to become the princes of the throne seemed to have become their only choice.
"I ask Your Majesty to give the Great Hua Charter and Law, I ask Your Majesty to send it to the Prime Minister and General, I ask Your Majesty to help me form a proposal meeting, I ask Your Majesty to send a censor, I ask Your Majesty to help reorganize the army..."
Qi Zige knelt in front of the imperial court in a daze, and asked in a sincere tone to become the vassal state of Dahua, and asked the Dahua court to help them reorganize.
Yao Geluotus also knelt down and begged.
Looking at the two powerful khans in Mobei, who were kneeling and begging for becoming a vassal state in Dahua, Zhang Chao was really satisfied.
The two khans in the north of the Mobei have basically annexed the remnants of Xue Yantuo and have strong merging forces against the Tiel tribes. The two khans each have no less than 200,000 troops.
This is a very strong strength. These Tiel people grew up on the back of horses, and everyone was a cavalry and was quite fierce. At present, they were naturally frightened by the power of Dahua and did not dare to do anything randomly, especially with the lessons of the Turks, Xue Yantuo and others, they would definitely be very honest.
But in the long run, if the imperial court does not strengthen its control over Mobei, sooner or later, these Mobei nomadic tribes will invade the south.
This has been like this again and again in history. The grassland tribes have no memory. They will forget the past when they were beaten up by the Central Plains for twenty or thirty years.
Zhang Qiao's plan to go will definitely not let Mobei go.
But it is not easy to rule here. Just conquest, then the two Khanate countries are now very strong, and Dahua has no legitimate reason to send troops. In the priority sequence of Dahua's battle of foreign conquest, Mobei is actually still standing up.
If you hit it directly, the effect will not be very good, so Zhang Chao is more inclined to use other means.
In history, the Manchus ruled the Mongols by means of marriage and intimacy, and they were indeed very successful. However, Zhang Chao was not willing to use this method, and he looked too fond of the people in the drafts and treated them too favorably.
Ma Zhou once proposed coercion and inducement, forcing the two Khanates to agree to become a vassal state of Dahua, so that Dahua could interfere in Mobei with righteousness.
As long as the two countries are reorganized and become vassal states of Dahua, they will be covered with golden hoops by Dahua. At that time, they will be flattened or rounded. This is all up to Dahua to decide.
Zhang Chao believes that if this plan is feasible, it is OK.
However, he originally believed that the Tieler people in Mobei would not submit easily. After all, after becoming a vassal state, they would not even be vassals, but would directly become part of Dahua.
But he still underestimated Dahua's current power.
The messenger went to Mobei several times, and the effect was still very obvious.
The two khans really took the initiative to ask to become a vassal state.
A great thing.
"I am very happy that the two beloved ministers have this intention. Since the two ministers beg, I will agree."
Zhang Chao nodded with a smile.
When he heard the emperor finally agreed, Qie Geling and Yao Geluotumi were relieved when they lay on the ground and asked.
Finally, they can breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Zhang Chao did not enthrone the two khans immediately. He had other considerations in his heart. The two khans wanted to become the princes of Dahua and integrate into Dahua in this way, and they were actually protected. After all, Dahua had a constitution to protect the interests of the princes and became the princes of Dahua. Neither the Dahua emperor nor the court could touch them easily.
How could Zhang Chao not know their plans, so he was not in a hurry to enthrone the enthronement.
The final seal is to be sealed, but how to seal it is very difficult. It would be very irresponsible to simply entrust Mobei to the two Khans as their vassal states.
From now on, there were only these two countries in Mobei, and it would be difficult to get lost.
Chapter completed!
