Samoyed the city, singing and dancing in the Kang Palace, the wine and meat fragrant.
For three consecutive days, the rulers of the Nine Kingdoms descended from the Da Yue clan gathered here to discuss the major issues of unification and merger!
For many years, although the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu have raised a lot of soldiers, they have fallen apart because of their own battles, and they don’t like fighting and are not good at diplomacy and military affairs. The suppression and enslavement of the court, daring to be angry but not speaking, had to endure silently.
In recent years, there have been many wars and chaos in the Western Regions. The two courts of the Western Turks and the North have been fighting repeatedly, and these small countries have been caught in the middle. Coupled with the strong stubbornness of the Western food powers, the Persian Sassanid dynasty has been put down, and the Western Regions will be encroached on day and night. The first is to engulf the wealthy Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu as a springboard and base for entering the Western Regions. . The former Pankang civil unrest broke out under such external and internal troubles. If it weren’t for Wu Meiniang’s magical performance that made Kangguo’s chaotic party kill each other, and Tang’s general Su Dingfang rushed to help Kangguo defend against foreign enemies, at this time the big cannibal machete might have been put on the necks of the people of Zhaowu nine countries. On it.
At the same time, Datang entered the Western Regions strongly, destroyed Gaochang, Ping Beiting, and more than 20 tribes from small countries in the Western Regions returned. In just over a year, the Datang Guanxi Army trod thousands of miles and swept the Western Regions with a torrent of power, unstoppable. The northern court of the Western Turks, which had once dominated the Western Turks for a while, was defeated again and again in the face of the great power of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and finally bowed down.
Beiting is still unable to contend with the Guanxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu who once knelt down at the foot of the North Court?
Everyone in the Nine Kingdoms was panicked from the moment Qin Mubai personally led the troops to the Western Regions. Because they had also vassalized Beiting, more or less, actively or forced to do things hostile to Datang.
Now they are bothering themselves. If they are still an enemy of Datang, I am afraid that they will not have to labor. Kansai coach Qin Mubai will do it himself, and send a member of the generals to wave his team. The Nine Kingdoms will be instantly trampled on the ground. !
Fortunately, the Kansai Qin Marshal did not think of their old evils, had no intention of destroying the nine countries of Zhaowu, and determined to build an alliance with the nine countries. The rulers of the Nine Kingdoms are not stupid, they know that Datang intends to foster a force in the remote areas of the Western Regions as a military buffer zone to guard against eclipses and confrontation between the East and the West. They also knew that since even the Beiting was destroyed, the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu still survived. On the one hand, it was because of the tolerance of the Datang State Policy, and on the other hand, because of the personal relationship between Wu Meiniang and Qin Mubai.
If this is not the case, Qin Mubai only needs to move his lips to conquer the Nine Kingdoms in the name of crime. Who can stop his hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves? At that time, he will be able to collect all the wealth of the Nine Kingdoms, and then easily support an empty-shell dynasty puppet king to order the Nine Kingdoms. ——Big Cannibal, why is it planned like this?
The survival of the Nine Kingdoms is actually only between Qin Mubai's thoughts. He has sufficient reasons and absolute strength to do whatever he wants in the nine countries of Zhaowu! Even if the people of the Nine Kingdoms are wronged, they can only say nothing.
Therefore, under such a delicate premise, the identity of Wu Meiniang is very important. In addition, the Queen of the Crescent Moon that Kang Guoxin succeeded to the throne has long been the favorite of Qin Mubai's account, and these monarchs also tacitly understood. At this time, not only would they not have any dissatisfaction, they were still chanting fortunately in their hearts-fortunately, Wu Meiniang was there, and fortunately the Crescent Queen'sacrificed herself' to save the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, allowing the nation to survive the continuation of the race!
Under such a major premise, the integration of the nine countries into one is an irrefutable fact. Although the meeting lasted for three days, in fact, 90% of the time was spent on eating, drinking and having fun, and there was nothing to discuss.
It is inevitable that the ‘Joe Joo Wu Kingdom’ will appear on stage, and it is also inevitable that Kang’s Crescent Queen will become the first king of the Jokie Wu Kingdom. What needs to be discussed is how to divide the territory of the nine countries and how to arrange the monarchs and nobles of the other eight countries.
Under Qin Mubai’s proposal, the Dazhao Wu Kingdom imitated Datang’s prefecture and county system and divided the original nine kingdoms into states and counties, which were uniformly managed by the Dazhao Wu Wang sent officials. The original eight-nation city capitals, all served as companion capitals, were called "Cities", and the original eight monarchs were granted the "Eight City Lords". In addition, some small cities were set up, and they were given to other important nobles, and they were made city masters at all levels.
The lord of the city enjoys food towns, fiefdoms, and titles at all levels. The status of the lord is extremely honorable and wealthy, and the lord of the city can be replaced by inheritance. But the city lord must declare to the king and obey the king's orders, must pay taxes to the country in accordance with the law, and has no right to appoint officials at all levels in the city, let alone raise private soldiers.
Actually, the city lord is like the kind of imperial county king who was granted praise by the Tubo Zanpu in the Tang Dynasty. He can sit on the food and enjoy the prosperity and wealth, but he does not have a high political status, let alone have it. What military strength.
At the same time, Zhaowu State will also abolish the original "first auxiliary cabinet" system implemented by Kang Guoju, and set up "three provinces and six ministries" in full accordance with the organizational system of the Tang Dynasty, establish a sound political organization and administrative system, and further centralize royal power.
Wu Meiniang, who everyone hopes to return, became the first decree of the Jokhang Martial State. (Equivalent to "Prime Minister".)
The rulers and nobles of the Nine Kingdoms unanimously elected Kang Guo's military chief assistant Wu Meiniang as Shang Shuling, which can be said to be well-intentioned. Because, at the beginning of the founding of Datang, Qin Wang Li Shimin held the position of Datang. (In later generations, in order to avoid Taizong, no one ever held this position in Datang, but instead used "Shang Shu Zuo (Right) Pu Shot" and "Tong Shu Men Xia Ping Zhang Shi" to replace or divide the duties of Shang Shu Ling. The Shang Shu of the Tang Dynasty in Zhenguan Datang was Xiao Yu, and the Zuo Shu was performed by Situ Chang Sun Wuji.)
They are just showing good wishes to Qin Mubai, and they are also laying the groundwork for the new moon queen's Zen position in the future. At that time, it can also be called "We are just imitating our Datang Sovereign State," and Wu Meiniang Fuzheng is justified.
At the same time when the nine countries were discussing the unification, Qin Mubai was not invited to participate in the meeting, and his affairs were not idle for a moment. Datang has generally settled the Western Regions, and Anxi Duhu Mansion should also be established. In addition, the Western Region has a vast territory, and an Anxi Protectorate alone is definitely unable to govern the entire territory. Therefore, below the Duhufu, additional levels of the Duhufu must be established. In addition to the territories of the nine countries that are not included in the territory, other regions will also be divided into Lizhou counties.
Qin Mubai, Su Dingfang and others first discussed a draft. The site of the Anxi Duhu Mansion was chosen to be the prosperous and beautiful Gongyue City, the former companion capital of the Northern Court and the throat of the Western Regions. In addition, nine capitals were set up separately, including Gaochang, Beiting, Kunling, Dawan, Tiaozhi, and Anxi, and the garrison set up a government office to control one party.
Among them, there is a Dudu Mansion named'Yueshi Da Dudu Mansion', which is the only "big" Dudu Mansion among the nine Dudu Mansion, and the site is in the built city of Samad. Qin Mubai asked Su Dingfang to serve as the first chief governor of the Yue family, stationing 20,000 troops in his own country on behalf of Datang, supervising and assisting the king of Dazhao Wu to govern the country, and exercise various powers of the sovereign state.
The Wanli territory developed by Datang in the Western Regions is divided into dozens of states and dozens of counties. Although, Qin Mubai will report to the court to send officials to condemn officials to take office. However, at the beginning of the establishment of the Dudu Mansion, when it was a waste of time and proper employment, he could only send his generals to the post of the governor temporarily. At least the Dudu Mansion was established first.
But because of this, preconceived trends have formed. At that time, the imperial court will definitely not be able to beat Qin Mubai’s face and place a new governor in office. Instead, it can only accept this established fact and let these “temporary governors” selected by Qin Mubai become official officials of the border, or at least do it. Let's talk about it after a certain term. Moreover, the candidates for state officials and county magistrates at all levels will definitely choose nearby officials to take office. Most of them will come from the Guanxi Army or the officials who were once under the rule of the Lanzhou Metropolitan Government.
In this way, the four court pillars and the eighth army station in the Kansai Army completely monopolized all the positions of captains in the Western Regions. They each led 5,000 to 20,000 soldiers and were in charge of one party. Only Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai, Qin Mubai did not let them serve as the governor. The reason is simple. Yuwen Hongtai can only charge into battle. It is not a political material. Returning to the court or having been a general with Qin Mubai is almost the same; Xue Rengui, his future is far more than that of a governor in a remote place in the Western Regions. simple!
As a result, the administrative divisions of the Western Regions have generally been seen. The prefectures and counties at all levels are subordinate to the Dudufu, which in turn is subordinate to the Anxi Daduhufu. In this way, the Anxi city guarding Qin Mubai will become the uncrowned king of the Tang Dynasty over half of the Western Regions!
The overall situation is initially set, and Qin Mubai is back with an arrow, eager to return to Lanzhou. Things here in the Western Regions were temporarily handed over to Su Dingfang to take charge.
Outside the city, Datang is already rectifying its soldiers and horses, and the captains of all levels led them to the government office. Qin Mubai was also ready to lead the army.
Before leaving, Qin Mubai still has two personal things to do, and several important people have to say goodbye.
First of all, he entered Samad Jiancheng alone in simple clothes and easy clothes, and came to Yuan Tiangang's residence.
The one who came to open the door was the little boy next to Yuan Tiangang. Before entering the door, the little boy told Qin Mubai that Senior Sister Jingwei (Li Xueyan) had accompanied her master and traveled everywhere, leaving only one letter to Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai opened the letter and read it. The letter was written by Yuan Tiangang. In the letter, he said that Jingwei insisted on traveling to the legendary ancient Persia country, so she had to go with her together. It is estimated that she would not be able to return in three or two months. In addition, I also said that I would like to thank Qin Mubai for everything he has done for Mingzhu. Whether Mingzhu has a good destination in the future and what his fate depends on Qin Mubai.
After reading the letter, Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled bitterly, and secretly said: After all, Xue Yan still can't pass his own level, and now he still wants to avoid me. I left her with tips for him to think clearly and give an answer, but she chose to escape. But that's all, fate sometimes must be there, and fate is always forced. If I and her are destined to be destined, we will definitely meet again in the future. Now that everything is tangling the state affairs, I have to temporarily put Li Xueyan's matter aside. When I go to the Central Plains and come back again, I will have a lot of time by then, even though I have a long relationship with my sons and daughters...
Not seeing Yuan Tiangang and Li Xueyan, Qin Mubai feels a little bit regretful. Others wanted Yuan Tiangang, the great **** stick, to calculate the fate of the Tang Dynasty today and the future of the Chinese nation, and recreate "Tui Bei Tu".
But Qin Mubai thought later, why should I bother me? History has its own trajectory, and future generations have their own pros and cons. To be alive, just take care of what happened before. Why think about a thousand years later? Even if you know the future, what can you do?
Qin Mubai felt relieved in his heart!
