Chapter 1132 Qin Lang's six-character Jiang Baiyan
Qibi Heli rode to the front of the imperial court and offered to capture General Goguryeo alive.
Li Shimin saw the white gauze stained with blood on Qibi Heli's waist, and was heartbroken. He personally re-bandaged Qibi Heli's wound, "This thief dares to hurt my Tang Dynasty warrior. I will smash his body into thousands of pieces and hand it over to the county." The king himself will execute the sentence."
Qibi Heli was very moved, "Saint, this man is Gao Tubo, the Lord of the Black Bone City, he was ordered by Quan Gai Suwen to come to reinforce him, the two armies fought, each was the master, although the minister was injured by him, he did not blame him He. I also ask the sage to forgive this person and give him a chance to atone for his crimes and be loyal to the Great Tang!"
Qi Bi pleaded for the Liao general, which surprised Li Shimin. He wanted to kill a Liao general to show his favor, but he didn't expect him to be so selfish.
Qi Bi repeatedly pleaded for mercy.
Qin Lang also sighed on the side, this Qibi Heli is really fierce, Li Simo over there bravely attacked Baiyan City and was injured, and here Qibi Heli fought against Goguryeo's reinforcements, eight hundred broke ten thousand and was injured.
The reputation of Tang Tian Khan is really not built. So many Tibetan generals Hu Chen bowed to the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the county king is generous, so it is better for your Majesty to fulfill his loyalty. Gao Tubo is the lord of Black Bone City. Since he is willing to surrender, it will be useful to keep him."
Li Shimin asked Gao Tubo who was kneeling on the ground with a cold face, "Are you willing to surrender?"
"May I surrender!"
Gao Tubo was very happy. He didn't know that Liaodong City was lost before he came. Hearing that the general who was injured by him was actually the prince and son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, he was secretly startled.
Now that the other party is willing to spare his life and plead for him, he doesn't know how to cherish it.
"If you are allowed to perform crimes and make meritorious service, I will give you a guerrilla general, and I will serve under General Qibi."
"The king of the county is extremely loyal and brave. Today, I specially bestow the surname of the king of the county, plus the title of the general of the town army, and the general of the left leader of the army, a hundred taels of gold, two royal horses, and a brocade robe!"
He Li blushed with excitement when he got the surname of the country. For the Hu people of this era, to be given the surname of the country, Princess Shang, and become a general, this is already the pinnacle of life.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Li Heli." Li Heli bowed on his knees, his head banging on the ground, blood came out.
Qin Lang hurriedly helped him up, "Jun Wang pay attention to his injuries."
This scene made all the generals on one side eagerly envy.
And Li Shimin once again expressed his appreciation to the loyal generals, Qin Guozhong, king of Huaihua County, Li Simo, king of Heshun County, Li Heli, king of Guide County, Li Sili, king of Huaishun County, Li Sheer, king of Huaide County, five Hu Renjun kings They have long been Princess Shang.
And Li Jinxing, the Duke of Yan from the Mohe tribe, Li Mishe and Li Buzhen from the Western Turks,
The leader of Tuyuhun, the king of Heyuan County, and Li Nuohebo, the general of Youwuwei.
Khitan leader, Songmo governor, left guard general Li Kuge, a male from Wuji County,
The leader of the Xi clan, the governor of Rao Le, the general of the right leader, and Li Kedu, the Duke of Loufan County
and other Hu generals were given the surname of the country and ranked as generals.
These stalwart chieftains entered the court as generals of the Tang Dynasty, and each of them showed incomparable loyalty and bravery, which can also be regarded as a major feature of the Tang Dynasty. This is actually a legacy from the Wei and Jin dynasties, especially during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when Hu Feng flourished in the northern part of the Central Plains. It was an era of fierce fighting and integration of ethnic groups, and Han and Hu were not so obvious in opposition.
For Tian Khan Li Shimin, he also accepted the barbarians from the four sides as his children, and he wanted to truly incorporate the four sides into the Tang Dynasty, so he was very good to these barbarians who were devoted to him.
Anyway, nowadays, living heroes with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty cannot be crowned as county kings.
But after they bestowed the country’s surname, they have actually been included in the membership and become a member of the Tang clan. Although this clan has a lot of water and everyone understands it, it is still a clan after all, so they can make an exception and become king.
At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Luo Yan and Du Fuwei were granted kings with different surnames. Qin Lang actually admired this way of turning the chief of the foreign race into a member of the Tang royal family.
From the perspective of this era, this approach is actually quite clever.
Although in the eyes of future generations, no one is willing to change someone else's surname, but in this era, the royal family has different opinions, and it is not an ordinary honor to be able to give the country's surname to become a royal family, especially for the barbarians of different races. .
This is one rank higher than Princess Shang, let alone being crowned king.
For these savages, this is almost the highest ideal pursuit in this life. Once they get it, they will reach the pinnacle of life.
Now the barbarians around Datang began to actively move closer to Datang, not to mention surrendering to Datang, but professing vassals, and they have already taken the initiative to Sinicize.
They all learned Chinese and even took Chinese surnames for themselves.
Many barbarians do not have surnames themselves, and those with surnames are generally relatively powerful tribes, such as the Eighth Clan of the Party, and more border barbarians do not even have surnames, only tribal names.
Now they are also taking Chinese surnames and names for themselves.
The top Hu chiefs were given national surnames by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, such as some leaders of Turkic, Tuyuhun, Xi, Qi, Mohe, and Dangxiang.
Those who couldn’t get the national surname naturally didn’t dare to take the surname Li casually, so they used the common surname of the Central Plains, such as Cui Lu Zheng Wang, Wei Du Yang Pei, Xiao Xie Gu Zhu, and Qin Fang Liu Xue.
For example, Qin Guozhong was originally a Turkic Yu Sheshe, the son of Chuluo Khan, and later took the initiative to worship Qin Qiong as his adoptive father and changed his surname to Qin, so all his family members changed their surnames to Qin, and even officially continued in the Qin family tree. It became a new branch of the Qin family in Licheng, Qizhou.
Although many people in later generations believed that Datang's overly open policy led to the later Anshi Rebellion, in Qin Lang's view, the Anshi Rebellion had nothing to do with Datang's policy of opening up to the barbarians. There will be trouble.
Later, among the generals of the various towns where the imperial court quelled the chaos, there were also many Hu people, such as Li Guangbi and Pugu Huai'en, who saved the Tang Dynasty and continued the Li family, they were also Hu people.
There was an Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. In essence, it was because the Tang Dynasty was actively expanding at that time. The expansion speed was too fast, but the court could not keep up with the rhythm and effectively adjust the changes brought about by this high-speed expansion. Collision, eventually lead to.
To put it bluntly, it was a drastic change in the situation, which led to the collision of old and new interest groups, and a rebellion war broke out under irreconcilable conditions.
The high-speed external expansion shifted the center of gravity of the Tang Dynasty outwards. The establishment of the ten major border towns was originally intended to facilitate the military deployment on the frontier, but it led to excessive power of the feudal towns, strong military strength, external strength and middle-ranking, and the long-term peace , problems such as land annexation intensified, and finally the Anshi Rebellion appeared.
This is similar to the Six Towns Uprising in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although the reason is different, it is actually similar in essence. Since the imperial court has given the feudal town excessive military strength, they will naturally want a matching political status. When they fail to achieve it, they will eventually explode.
From another perspective, Datang’s active and open ethnic policy was actually an important reason why Datang was able to continue to expand in the early stage and beat and kicked the surrounding barbarians.
During the first hundred years of the Great Tang's foreign wars, there were almost everywhere the shadows of those who belonged to the Fan tribe. Countless Hu generals and Fan soldiers were born and died for the Great Tang. The glorious history of the Great Tang also has their achievements.
On White Rock City.
Sun Daiyin saw Gao Tubo, the black bone city lord who came to persuade him to surrender, his face was ashen.
"City Lord Sun, the gift of the saint, as long as you set up the Tang flag at the top of the city, the conditions promised before will still count. If you persist in your obsession, you will be slaughtered after the city is broken!"
Standing on the top of the city, looking down the mountain, Sun Daiyin was extremely desperate.
Gao Tubo is an old acquaintance, and even his rank and title are much higher than him, but now the expected reinforcements have turned into envoys to persuade him to surrender, and his heart is full of despair.
Surrender again, how can the Tang people tolerate it?
He hesitated, doubted.
Mountain.
Qin Lang is persuading Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, please give Sun Daiyin another chance. Although Baiyan City is not too big and there are not many defenders, if they insist on resisting, they can cause a lot of trouble. The weather is already cold, and the first snow is expected to come soon. It's landed, we have to take Anshi City before the snow falls, and then we can end the first phase of the battle, otherwise, it will be very troublesome, we don't have much time to waste time in Baiyan City, it's not worth it."
Li Shimin was still very angry.
"Sun Daiyin dares to smash the banner of our Tang Dynasty, dares to be capricious, how can I tolerate him?"
Li Jinxing, Li Kuge, Li Keduzhe, Li Sheer, Li Mishe and other generals also requested to fight at this time, willing to lead their warriors to the city.
"I am willing to go to the city to persuade you to surrender. If Sun Daiyin is really obsessed with obsession, it will not be too late to attack!"
Li Shimin nodded, "Okay, I will give you a chance to persuade you to surrender, and give Sun Daiyin a chance."
Qin Lang rode his horse to the foot of the mountain, facing the city, and didn't need to declare his name. The flag raised by the flag bearer behind him made the city panic.
"Heavenly King Qin Lang!"
"Kill God!"
"Human massacre!"
·······
Qin Lang's name is very famous in Goguryeo, not only because of his prestige in the past, but also because of his miraculous ability to break through the desert at night with only a thousand riders. World War I, the legend is extremely magical, and there are various versions.
Anyway, rumors circulated that Qin Lang was truly the **** of war who descended into the world, the living heavenly king, who could also communicate with the **** of the sea, and borrowed divine lightning from the Dragon King of the East China Sea to split the ten-mile-strong city.
In this world, there is no city that Qin Lang can't break through, no army that Qin Lang can't defeat.
Seeing this person appear, Sun Daiyin fought with each other.
"Surrender, don't die!"
"If you don't surrender, you die!"
Qin Lang's persuasion to capitulate only had six simple words.
But the effect was very effective. As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Daiyin finally decided to surrender. Qin Lang's prestige was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Can Mr. Sun ask Qin Taiwei for a guarantee?"
"Yes, as long as Kaesong surrenders, I will protect the lives of the whole city of Baiyan! I will do what I say!"
"Okay, I believe, we surrender, and the city will be opened."
After getting Qin Lang's guarantee, Sun Daiyin immediately ordered to erect the surrender city on the top of the city, and went down to the city to open the city and surrender himself.
The gate of the mountain city opened slowly, and a white flag was erected high above the city head.
At the foot of the mountain, the eager Tibetan generals were greatly disappointed, while Li Shimin was expressionless.
