Chapter 626
Although "Zuo Zhuan Four Years of Chenggong" in the Spring and Autumn Period wrote about non-my race, their hearts must be different.
But in ancient times, there was no deep concept of nationality.
Especially after the integration of nationalities after the Five Disorderly Chinas.
Even Li Shimin has Xianbei blood, let alone the rest.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, many Han people believed that the Yuan Dynasty was orthodox and did not want to serve the Ming Dynasty. The national consciousness is indifferent.
Not to mention the current Tang Dynasty, so Ashinasheer didn't think there was anything wrong with helping Datang deal with the Turks.
Lin Xuan smiled lightly. He knew that there was no national consciousness at this time. When the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Yuan borrowed soldiers from the Turks. No one said anything.
The Han people are all like this, and the national consciousness of the nomads can be said to be indifferent, and it can be said that they have no national consciousness.
Therefore, in history, after Ashinasheer surrendered, he was loyal to Datang and made a lot of contributions to Datang.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the surrendered foreign races didn't rebel, but those people are more unable to let go of their rights, not because of the so-called ethnicity.
"General Ashina is a smart man. I promise here that as long as General Ashina cooperates with Datang's actions, I will personally ask His Majesty for credit for General Ashina afterward. , there must be no problem. Of course, General Ashina’s army is still under the command of General Ashina.” Lin Xuan laughed.
Anyway, Li Shimin agreed to these conditions. Even if he doesn't say it now, Li Shimin will reward him generously in order to make Ashinasheer return to his heart. .
As for the soldiers and horses under his hands, how many will be left after the grassland is pacified?
There will definitely be many Turkic captives in the pacification of the grassland, but it is impossible for Li Shimin to let Ashinasheer replenish soldiers and horses among the prisoners. It is time to add some Han Chinese to go in. After a long time, most of the soldiers and horses under Ashinashe Jiuer are Han Chinese.
With Ashinasheer's means, those soldiers and horses may be subdued, but it is impossible to take them to the grassland. In this way, Ashinasheer will have no possibility of rebellion.
"Thank you, General. If you have any orders from the General, I will definitely do it." Ashinasheer said in a completely subordinate tone.
Lin Xuan is just a marquis, logically speaking, he shouldn't believe Lin Xuan's words.
After all, a marquis promised him that he would protect him as a duke, but no matter how you look at it, it seems to be fooling him.
However, Qin Huaidao had introduced Lin Xuan's identity to him. Apart from the Marquis, Lin Xuan was also the son-in-law of the Tang Emperor, so what he said would be credible.
Next, Lin Xuan discussed some details with Ashinasheer, and the chat didn't end until the evening.
In the evening, Lin Xuan hosted another banquet in honor of Ashinasheer, because everything that should be said had been said, and he didn't take care of it, and he didn't deliberately control it at night. When the banquet was over, both of them were drunk.
……
Ashinasheer was carried back to the yard prepared by Lin Xuan for them by the soldiers.
When the soldiers put Ashinasheer on the bed, the commander of the soldiers sent them away and closed the door.
Hearing the sound of closing the door, Ashinasheer sat up straight away.
Although his face was flushed, his face was not too drunk.
The weather in the grassland is very cold, the wind is very strong in autumn and winter, and there is a lack of heating materials, so nomads like to drink to keep warm.
For them, wine has become an indispensable thing in life, but the nomads don't know how to make wine, and they don't have food to make wine, so they are basically sold to them by merchants in Datang.
Although immortal drunkenness is hard to come by, as Ashinasheer, he can still get some, so it is not the first time for him to drink, and he is probably aware of his drinking capacity.
He seemed to be drinking all the time during the banquet, but in fact he was deliberately controlling it secretly.
Although he understood that what Lin Xuan was going to do to him after entering Gaochang King's Capital could not change the result with his little personality, but he still remained sober.
"Albert, what do you think of this meeting?" Ashinasher asked.
Albert was also the one who had been standing behind Ashinasheer before, and was introduced by him as the commander of the personal army.
In fact, Albert was not the commander of the personal army, but one of the three generals under Ashinasher.
When Ashinasheer occupied half of the Western Turkic land and wanted to use troops against Xue Yantuo, Albert was the first to persuade him to destroy Western Turkic first to consolidate his strength before attacking Xue Yantuo.
However, he didn't listen, which led to his subsequent defeat.
However, after that incident, Ashinasher valued Albert very much and regarded him as a think tank, and would ask Albert for his opinion on many things.
This time he was negotiating such an important matter with Datang, he would naturally bring Albert along.
"Great Khan, I think the benefits promised by the general just now are likely to be granted by the Emperor of Tang, otherwise he would not be so sure." Albert said.
Ashinasheer smiled and said: "I didn't understand at first, but I realized later that if he said those words without the consent of the Tang Emperor, it would be a big taboo for him to say that to me. Although this person is young, he is still the son-in-law of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is very talented, if this person is not capable, it should be impossible to send him here, so this person should not make such a mistake."
Prairie people worship the strong, for Li Shimin, Ashinasheld feels very complicated.
On the one hand, I hate him a little. If it wasn't for the surprise attack by the Tang Dynasty, even if Xue Yantuo rebelled, with Jieli Khan's reputation, it would not be difficult to deal with Xue Yantuo as long as the winter passed.
It was because of Datang's sudden attack and Xue Yantuo's rebellion that the Eastern Turks perished.
So Datang is also his enemy, he hates Li Shimin.
But Li Shimin destroyed the Eastern Turks, and he admired Li Shimin a little.
This feeling is very complicated.
As for Xue Yantuo, if it wasn't for Datang, he wouldn't have taken him seriously at all.
"Khan, these are not important, what is important is that we now have no choice but to trust Datang." Albert said.
Although they can still take down the Western Regions as a place to stand.
However, although the countries in the Western Regions are small and often fight internally, they are relatively united when encountering foreign enemies.
When the Tang Dynasty was able to destroy Gaochang, apart from the fear of the Tang Dynasty by the countries in the Western Regions, the most important thing is that the Gaochang Kingdom monopolized the trade routes, did not benefit other countries, and ate alone.
The blocking of commercial routes will also cause certain damage to the interests of other countries.
The interests were damaged, and Gaochang did not share some benefits with them, coupled with the fear of Datang, so all countries watched Gaochang be destroyed tacitly.
In addition to these, the countries in the Western Regions are very clear that it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to occupy the Western Regions.
Because for the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions were subject to all countries in the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty. Didn’t the Great Han just establish the Protectorate in the Western Regions, but did not think about bringing the Western Regions into the territory of the Great Khan?
