The place where we are managed must be given multiple leaders, and we cannot let them fight us in unison, right? ”
Luo Shixin nodded vigorously: “I understand too! Just like the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks are fighting each other! The Turks must not be unified! “
Li Xuanba sighed, “That’s how smart it is. “
In this set, Emperor Taizong of Tang in history did a good job, commonly known as “balance technique”.
After Emperor Taizong of Tang destroyed the Eastern Turkic regime, he did not destroy the “Khans” of the Eastern Turkic regime, but instead placed a few Khans with “Ashina” bloodline on the Turkics and let them fight each other. Whoever is weak will be defeated and they will not be unified.
This point was also done by the Qing Dynasty in later generations, which was the Mongolian “All Banner System”.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang continued the policies of Emperor Taizong of Tang in the early stage. However, in the later stages, the Emperor and Empress thought that they needed to establish greater achievements than Emperor Taizong of Tang, so they gave up the “balance technique” and allowed and helped forces close to their own forces to unify the grassland.
However, the Tang Dynasty’s technological and economic level could not directly rule the Western Regions and grasslands, which led to the continuous rebellion of the Western Turks and the Ashina family reunified the northern desert, dragging down the finances of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was also stupid in this regard. Seeing that Nanzhao was too chaotic, he helped one of the tribes to unify Nanzhao. After Nanzhao was strong, he rebelled.
The Tang army failed to suppress the rebellion. Western historians believed that this was like the Battle of Talas, one of the guides of the Anshi Rebellion. Putting aside this, this battle did cause great losses to the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Emperor Wu of Wu had a good political level, both of which were promising kings. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was not foolish when he made this decision, and he was still a wise ruler.
However, as one of the few “strategists” in the history of the Chinese country, Tang Taizong was still better at his vision.
Military strategists often exist, but strategists often exist.
This time, let the second brother write down his strategic ideas and teach future generations. Even if the descendants of later generations do not have strategists, they may be able to learn a little bit by bit with their ancestors’ experience.
Of course, it is more likely that a descendant emperor thinks “I am very strong, and I must do what my ancestors cannot do” and then still make trouble.
As for writing “ancestors cannot be changed”, it is unrealistic to let future generations not do anything. The situation is changing rapidly, and the rulers need to adjust their policies at any time according to the actual situation.
Looking at the lessons of the “post-in-command” in the Ming Dynasty, the interest class is too good to use “ancestors cannot be changed” to make profits for themselves.
Li Zhiyun was puzzled: “Three brother, why are you stupid? “
Li Xuanba took back his divergent thoughts and smiled, “Even Xiaowu can understand it. It seems that my teaching level is good. ”
Li Zhiyun was proud: “That’s because I’m smart! Third brother, you should say that even Shixin can understand it, but the third brother’s teaching level is notwrong. “
Luo Shixin gave Li Zhiyun a blank look and made Li Zhiyun wait.
When Sanlangjun left, he would definitely ask Li Zhiyun to have a good conversation.
Li Xuanba saw Luo Shixin’s small movements and ended today’s lecture with a smile, asking Luo Shixin and Li Zhiyun to go outside to “discuss”.
If you are humble, you must be prepared to “beat”. This is also the lesson that my brother teaches you.
Li Xuanba showed a kind smile that cared for his younger brother.
…
In early February, the temperature in Yiwu warmed up. Although the river had not yet bleeded, Li Xuanba saw that it had been clear for several days, so he said goodbye to Shekui Khan and prepared to go back to Zhangye.
Shekui Khan sent a thousand people to escort Li Xuanba away. The thousand people were led by Nishu, the confidant of the same clan, and carried a large number of gifts including three hundred horses. They formally formed an alliance with Li Shimin, the general of the Heyou marching army of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Nishu was a middle-aged man with a kind face, and was more skilled in Chinese than Shekui Khan.
He talked to Li Xuanba, and was quite familiar with Confucian scriptures that most Turks don’t like to read. If he didn’t see his dress, he would think he was a Confucian scholar of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Li Xuanba thought the name “Nishu” sounded a little familiar.
But most Turkish names like to be reused, and some people have similar names to “official names”, just like someone in China who changed his surname to “Sima” after becoming “Sima”. With just a difficult name, Li Xuanba really finds it difficult to associate this person with the names in historical books.
