Li Shimin raised the question, and Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng began to think deeply.
Tuli Khan was different from Jieli Khan. He had a good relationship with Li Shimin in private, and he did not confront Jieli Khan. The two tribes sent troops to attack each other.
Because of this, Tuli Khan surrendered directly without starting a war with Xue Wanche.
Fang Xuanling thought for a moment and then spoke first.
"Your Majesty, although Tuli Khan only has a few thousand troops, his surrender is of great significance."
"The court should accept his surrender and give him a meritorious title and give it to others. The Turkic tribes will do the same."
"Your Majesty treats those who surrender favorably and bestows honors on senior officials. With this precedent, some wavering small tribes will definitely lose their will to resist and surrender."
Fang Xuanling's words spoke to Li Shimin's heart.
When the two countries fight, the focus is on the heart, and the ultimate goal is to defeat the opponent.
"Your Majesty, Tuli Khan's troops can be added to our army and participate in subsequent wars against other countries, which can also reduce the bloodshed and sacrifice of our Tang Dynasty men." Changsun Wuji added.
Although they have different opinions, their strategies for accepting the opponent's surrender are the same.
Li Shimin nodded. Seeing that Wang Jian had been silent, he asked curiously.
"Wang Aiqing, you didn't say a word today. Tell me what you think."
Wang Jian was listening with interest when he was suddenly called by Li Shimin and was stunned.
Good guys, when participating in a discussion of this level, it is inevitable to express personal opinions.
Wang Jian has already had his own ideas on how to deal with the Turks, but they are scattered and not systematic.
Now if asked, I won’t be unable to say a word.
"Your Majesty, I have a question, what will the court do if we capture the Eastern Turks?" Wang Jian first asked a question.
"Of course we are building the Protectorate and strictly guarding the Eastern Turks." Changsun Wuji glanced at Wang Jian and said in a calm tone.
Although Fang Xuanling didn't know what Wang Jian was thinking, he still explained the strategy set by the court to manage the new territory.
"Wang Jian, the court mainly follows three principles when dealing with newly acquired territories."
"First, do not change the living habits of the local people."
< p> "Second, resettlement on site, but if there is open space in the Central Plains, we will also choose to move part of it inland.""Third, preserve the tribe, but replace its leader."
< p> Wei Zheng patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and also explained./p>
Datang is surrounded by enemies. If you are too cruel to the enemies, you will easily encounter their joint resistance.
Now that the Tang Dynasty is in a state of recuperation and its population is declining, it is not appropriate to go to war.
In Wang Jian's view, this method of disposal is most suitable for the current Tang Dynasty, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Leaving the Eastern Turks behind will also lay the foundation for future generations.
After this group of Turks recuperated, whenever there was turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, they would come back in an instant.
They would hold playing knives in hand, cross the Great Wall again, and burn, kill and loot the people at the border of Datang.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I believe that those who are not of my race must have different minds."
"Now the Tang Dynasty has a strong military and can suppress the Turks. If thousands of people If the imperial court declines in the next year, it may not be able to suppress it. "
"As the saying goes, the wild fire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow again!"
After Wang Jian finished speaking! , Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were all silent.
Although Wang Jian did not specify how to deal with it, his meaning is self-evident, which is to kill the young Turks.
Although this method is extremely radical, it can prevent future generations from continuing to suffer from the Turks. < /p>
Li Shimin was not sure about the big decisions at the court level for a while and needed to go back and think about it slowly.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
After leaving Ganlu Hall, Wang Jian and Fang Xuanling drove back in the same car.
"Jian'er, the way you want to deal with it, I'm afraid it won't pass tomorrow." Fang Xuanling sighed.
They had discussed once-and-for-all solutions, but later rejected them one by one.
If the Tang Dynasty's attitude was too firm and the young people of the Eastern Turks were massacred, when the Tang Dynasty conquered other foreign races in the future, they would definitely encounter life-and-death resistance from them.
"Teacher, we should not leave the problems that our generation can solve to future generations."
"There is no perfect solution in the world, it all depends on your Majesty's choice. "
Wang Jian said thoughtfully.
After returning, Wang Jian immediately approached Ma Zhou and discussed with him in depth.
In addition, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were also deep in thought in their respective study rooms until late at night.
There will be a meeting the next day.
Wang De held up the military report written by Li Jing and read it loudly to all the officials.
Boom!
The Tai Chi Hall exploded.
"Oh my God! The imperial court actually launched troops against the Eastern Turks!"
"Your Majesty has concealed what happened until now..."
"The six-pronged army is overwhelming, and it seems that the Eastern Turks are not far from extinction!"
"No wonder Duan Lun, the minister of industry, went out to collect food in person, and the court also used thunderous means to deal with the gang of county magistrates who practiced favoritism and malpractice."
"It turns out that it was to prepare food for the army. This explains It works."
"..."
All the officials in the court were shocked by the news. They talked about it instantly, with expressions of surprise on their faces. .
After the officials discussed for about thirty breaths, Li Shimin looked around and slowly stood up.
Seeing Li Shimin walking up to the steps step by step, the voices in the hall suddenly became quieter.
"My dear friends, today we will discuss two issues."
"First, how to deal with Tuli Khan leading his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, as well as Yang Zhengdao and the Xiao family "Two people."
"Second, how to manage this area after conquering the East Turks"
As soon as this topic was raised, the Yushitai, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province were raised. people put forward their own opinions.
What surprised Wang Jian was that their opinions were highly unified.
In dealing with the Tuli Khan, their opinions were the same as those of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji: to give him a high position and to accommodate his tribesmen, so as to facilitate the recruitment and surrender of other Turkic tribes.
Most of the people in the court were born in the Sui Dynasty, and they all proposed that Yang Zhengdao and Xiao be treated well by the court.
The strategy for managing the Eastern Turks is exactly the same as the three points mentioned by Fang Xuanling, using gentle methods.
At this time, Wang Jian also came out to start the performance and mentioned again what he said in the Manlu Hall yesterday.
"What Wang Shaozhan did was inappropriate, it was too radical."
"Who will dare to surrender to the Tang Dynasty after massacre of young Turks?"
"We, the Tang Dynasty, govern the country with benevolence and righteousness. We should have the world in mind. How can we be so narrow-minded?"
"Let a man with such a murderous heart assist the prince. I worry that the prince will also suffer. Influence. "
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Wang Shao Zhan!"
The general officials were filled with indignation and condemned Wang Jian for being too violent.
The people at Yushitai even went to the level of personal attacks, jumping out one by one to attack the king.
