Chapter 1286 Great Emperor Yuan Tan
Kanishka III was surrounded and had to surrender in order to survive.
With the surrender of the king of kings, the vast Guishuang Empire cannot be surrendered.
But with the arrival of Zhao Yun's 500,000 Shence Army, things began to go very smoothly.
Famous generals such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong destroyed the city and pulled out the villages, and even in the mid-term, Kaesong surrendered everywhere they went.
Within a month, the Shence Army incorporated the Guishuang Empire into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Yuan Tan's Great Tang officially became an empire-level country and entered the age of empire.
However, Yuan Tan and his Great Tang Empire also faced very difficult problems.
Fulousha, the capital of the former Guishuang Empire.
The palace hall.
On the left stood Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others with excited expressions.
On the right, there are Yaslauf, Defesses, Heka Fansai, and Snesilai, these resting old ministers, all of them look like subjugated slaves.
Yuan Tan stood in front of the huge map of Guishuang, stretched out a slap, and said, "Huacizimo, Sogd, Fulousha, Pangzha, and Tuoluoyejia are divided into five states. In Fulousha, he is the governor of Guishuang, and his status is above that of the state pastor."
Zhuge Liang and the others nodded, this governor of Guishuang is the finishing touch.
Yuan Tan thought for a while, "Military affairs in the Guishuang region can be copied from the model of Zhongtu. The garrison is under local control, the regular army is not allowed to leave the station without authorization, the military and government are separated, and the military supplies of the regular army are uniformly allocated by the Ministry of War."
The people of Guishuang, such as Yaslauf, widened their eyes. They had never heard of this method of governing the military and government, but their control was definitely several times that of Guishuang before.
It is not difficult to appoint officials and garrison troops.
The problem is that such a large empire, how to take over concretely?
We must know that the xenophobic sentiment of Guishuang people is very serious now, how to enhance the prestige of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and the court, and how to guide Guishuang people to become Datang people.
These have never been precedent.
Zhuge Liang fanned Yuan Tan, the weather in Guishuang was too hot,
Said: "Your Majesty, you must be careful not to repeat the mistakes of Qin Shihuang."
Wolong got to the point.
When Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, although he visited Qi and Chu and other major places in the south, the local nobles seemed to submit to them, but in fact they had no real allegiance.
These nobles hold huge resources in their hands, and tens of thousands of people depend on them for survival.
Therefore, when something happened to the Qin Dynasty, these aristocrats could immediately become separatist princes and eventually destroy the Qin Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang and the others didn't have a good solution, but this didn't bother Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan had already thought about it, "Let's carry out the reform."
The people of Guishuang stared wide-eyed, how would the emperor carry out reforms in Guishuang?
"Your Majesty, how should we reform the law?" Pang Tong asked.
Yuan Tan had a clue in his heart, and said, "Guishuang is half of the feudal system, and half of it is the slave system."
"The number of slaves accounts for about half of the population. First, we freed the slaves and gave them a free status."
Yaslauf frowned. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't want slaves. The slaves were so good, they ate less, and they could be used casually. The productivity output was huge.
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up. This method is good. The previous military operations have proved that slaves are a force worthy of unity.
Believe that given their status as citizens of the Empire, they will also know what to do.
After all, who wants to be slaves for generations?
After the slaves are given freedom, the slaves will have a sense of belonging and become Datang people. Their base is large, and with them, society will be stable.
Yuan Tan continued: "Follow up, land reform will be carried out, and the land of the Guishuang nobles will be nationalized, and then distributed to the people of Guishuang, including the liberated slaves."
"Do you think the slaves and common people will support us?"
Zhuge Liang and the others thought about it.
At least 70% to 80% of Guishuang people will have a sense of belonging.
Yuan Tan finally said: "The aristocrats are divided into fields, ten years of childbearing, ten years of education, rule of law, respect for tradition..."
Pang Tong excitedly said: "Your Majesty, you are holy, you are holy."
Zhuge Liang curled his lips, knowing that he was flattering, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is wise."
Yaslauf was stunned. He could think of such a complicated and effective method in such a short time. No wonder the people of Tang Dynasty thought their emperor was a god.
Guishuang is really coming to an end.
Yaslauf and the others are nobles themselves, and they know that the nobles oppress the people all day long. When the common people in Guishuang heard that the nobles were beating the nobles to share their land, they rushed forward and swore to die to be loyal to Emperor Shengwu.
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that these nobles will unite to rebel and the whole place will suddenly fall into chaos."
Aslav's eyes lit up, yes, let's see how he solves it.
Yuan Tan chuckled, "Ninety percent of them stand on my side, and are they still afraid that the nobles will rebel? Pain is inevitable. I really can't attack them for no reason. It's better for the nobles to rebel, and kill them all once and for all."
Yaslav and the others were heartbroken. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty was too ruthless. I have never seen an emperor who did not win over the nobles.
Yuan Tanyu said earnestly: "We are serious about doing things for the common people and wholeheartedly benefiting the common people. The common people will support us. Whoever dares to object, we don't need to take action. Let these Guishuang nobles know that water can carry a boat The truth that can overturn the boat."
Wholeheartedly working for the well-being of the people does not conflict with Yuan Tan's throne at all, but instead strengthens his position.
An emperor who wholeheartedly worked for the welfare of the people.
Yaslav, the old officials of Guishuang, what kind of holy emperor is this? They suddenly had the urge to be loyal to Yuan Tan.
Zhuge Liang and the others were very excited, which is why they were willing to follow Yuan Tanxiao to the death.
An emperor who works for the well-being of the people, his authority is bound to cover wherever he goes.
That afternoon.
Zhuge Liang brought Yaslav, Guishuang's foreign minister, to tens of thousands of slaves.
Zhuge Liang lightly shook his feather fan, motioning for Aslav to read Yuan Tan's will.
Yaslav knew that this was a means of ruling, so he had to read, "By God, the emperor said: The Guishuang area completely abolished slavery, and the emperor granted all slaves the status of free imperial citizens, and in the near future, the land will be distributed. The Emperor of the Empire swore that within the territory of the Tang Empire, those who till it will have their fields..."
The slaves were all stunned when they heard this.
You must know that after Yuan Tan invaded Fulousha, the slaves were freed as soon as possible, but many slaves were timid and afraid, so they did not join.
The fifty thousand slaves standing here today are those people.
They saw that those slaves who joined Yuan Tan's command became free people one after another, and they regretted it very much.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Tan still gave them freedom, and also gave freedom to all slaves.
The slaves were all crying now.
"I'm really not human."
"Emperor Shengwu is really a great king, but I dare not stand behind him."
"Long live Emperor Shengwu!"
The slaves were crying, and these numb slaves were once again awakened to their inner blood and desire for freedom.
Yaslav was almost stunned by this call. He clearly knew that Guishuang was completely finished, and he would be all from Datang from now on.
