Chapter 1462 One government, two governments
Qin Lang never refuses anyone who comes. He is old, but he has many children and grandchildren, whoever takes a fancy to him will lead him.
No matter who he is, the visitor is a customer, and the business is done.
It can even be said that the current chaos in the west is inseparable from the fact that Lu Song acted as an arms dealer there, such as the Umayyad Dynasty, those uprisings and separatist regimes one after another, if the Qin family had not provided them with a large number of Loans, providing a large amount of arms, they don't have the confidence to dare to rebel.
And the fact that the Visigoths were able to annihilate the Arab invasion was also due to the Qin family's mercenary army.
Anyway, it’s like a **** stick, picking up troubles everywhere, selling arms everywhere, and then pulling boats of gold and silver, or copper and iron materials, slaves, etc. to Luzon, Southeast Asia.
In order to be able to repay the loan, they even contracted out the tax collection rights to many Tang merchants.
Tang merchants thus became tax-contracting merchants and took their own mercenaries to collect taxes everywhere. Not to mention, their tax collection accounts were clear and efficient, which satisfied all parties.
After the second court meeting, Qin Xiaozhong proposed to establish a new Xindu Protectorate in the Xindu River Basin east of the Kaiboer Pass in the Daxue Mountain in the Western Regions when discussing matters in the Zichen Hall.
Using the former Tocharian subordinate state King Gubin as the capital protector of Xindu, he ruled the thirteen countries including the Banbo Kingdom, the Najara Kingdom, the Gandhara Kingdom, the Varana Kingdom, and the Abojian Kingdom...
Gubin, in fact, is no longer the Gubin of the Han Dynasty. The Gubin of the Han Dynasty was also called Daxia, but in the West it was called Batkeria.
During the reign of Li Yin, the state of Gubin established by the Cypriots after defeating the Greeks was passed down to the twelfth generation, and the king Hexiezhi followed the suzerain Tocharo Yehu and returned to the Tang Dynasty. .
However, later the Turkic nobleman Ayateqin led troops to kill the king of Kubin, seized the kingship, and ruled the kingdom of Kubin. After the Western Turks entered the Western Regions, this kind of thing was a common thing. It was a normal operation. They didn't know this How many times have I done it, among the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu in Hezhong, even Kang, the strongest, has not been deprived of its kingship by the Turkic nobles.
After Aye became the king of Gubin, he still surrendered to the suzerain Tucharo Yehu, and at the same time continued to control the vassals such as Gandhara. At that time, the imperial court planned to occupy the Xindu River Basin, which was the sphere of influence of Kubin, so they were the most active.
It's just that the one who was photographed later was also the most ruthless.
It took decades after the Tang Dynasty to adjust the strategy, step by step to destroy the Western Turks, conquer the river, re-conquer Tocharia, and then enter the Xindu River to expand its strength a little bit. At this time, the Turkic king and the The upper Turkic nobles are also powerless.
Even their Tucharo Yehu father couldn't bear Datang's beating. In name, the overlord of the Khorasan area can only nomadic in the mountains. In fact, he is hiding in Tibet, and even Tucharo Yehu is not normal Several people have been replaced, all of whom died abnormally.
Datang was able to enter Tocharo and Xindu to set up post stations and garrison horses and army camps, not because of polite applications, but because of slaps and slaps again and again.
Each time they slap each other twice and then give them two sweet dates, they also share some of the benefits of the trade.
Tocharo Yehu's loyal younger brother, King Gubin, was also a child of Tocharo Yehu's family earlier, but until now, the relationship has faded.
Especially when Tocharo Yehu was beaten up and had no strength to resist Datang, and even had to be nomadic and dodge frequently, for fear that Datang would confiscate them to the entire tribe one day, but King Yubin, because he had been more cooperative with Datang these years, so After the Xindu Silk Road prospered, they followed suit, and even their strength increased greatly.
King Binbin even gave himself a new title, Fusou Fupo. And the title of this Fushufupo is actually the translation of the Roman Caesar, and sometimes it is called Fushufusuo. It is said that this is because Turks and Kubin had more contact with the Romans in the past.
Even in the earlier Guishuang Empire, the title of Caesar was used.
Fufufusuo, which means Roman emperor, a Turkic king of a small country, actually titled himself Roman emperor, which sounds unbelievable, even ridiculous.
But the Persian king used to call himself the king of kings, and the king of Guishuang also called himself the king of kings.
Caesar was originally the dictator of the Roman Republic, also known as the uncrowned king. He almost became the emperor of Rome. After he was assassinated, his adopted son Octavian Augustus became the first head of state of the Roman Empire.
Because Octavian was the heir of Caesar, he was also called Octavian Caesar. The later Roman emperors were also relatives of Octavian, who had blood relatives and adopted sons, so they all had Caesar in their names.
After the death of Nero, the Julian Claudius dynasty in Rome ended, which can also be called the end of the Caesar dynasty. After that, four consecutive emperors were warlords who established themselves as kings. In order to show their legitimacy, they became emperors Later, the surname Caesar was also used, so Caesar became a title of the emperor.
The title of Augustus is also very special. After the civil war, Octavian did not dare to proclaim himself emperor directly. After all, Caesar was a lesson learned from the past. He took a roundabout route and asked the Senate to grant him the power of governor of half of the provinces of the Republic. , and gave him the power of a tribune, calling him the head of the Senate, using a series of means to establish his own legal authority, and the Senate later awarded him the title of Augustus.
In this way, Augustus did not openly claim to be king and restructure, but in fact he has become the emperor of the empire.
So later both Caesar and Augustus were used to address the Roman emperor. The difference is that Caesar represents the legal inheritance of his blood, while Augustus represents the imperial privileges due to his noble status.
The Turkic king of Binbin added the title of Roman Caesar to himself, which is really nondescript. After all, you are a Turkic barbarian, where did you come from? Caesar blood?
If you are a Khazarian, you can say otherwise. After all, the Khazar Yehu and the Eastern Roman Emperor were allied with each other, and they did have Roman royal blood, so they could have something to do with Caesar.
However, from this title, we can also see the ambition of the Turkic king of Nagubin. He even wants to replace Tocharo Yehu.
So at this time, Qin Xiaozhong proposed that the Gubin Kingdom east of the Hindu Kush Mountain should be separated from the Tocharian Protectorate, and Xindu Protectorate should be set up alone, which is no problem.
Firstly, Tucharuo has been repaired by the Western Army of the Tang Dynasty in recent years. It is already very weak. On the contrary, it has no strength. , so he must be happy to lift up the next Kubin.
The newly established Duhufu is called Xindu Duhufu instead of Gubin Duhufu, which is also a hidden mystery.
Qin Xiaozhong proposed that instead of directly setting up a prison and capital protection mansion, one government and two systems should be implemented.
In the areas under the actual control of Kubin and its vassals, the imperial court set up the prefectures and prefectures, while the areas along the Silk Road actually controlled by the Western Army today, as well as its towns, ports, fortresses, and the natives attached to the city, were unified as military The city, military town, and military port, together with the prefectures and counties, are the prefectures and counties under the imperial administration.
Under the Duhu Mansion ruled by the imperial court, there are Jingzhi prefectures and military towns directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Hezhou, and then ad hoc Beizhou was set up as an economical state directly managed by the imperial court, and later expanded to seven economical Zhengzhous.
Now the imperial court says to set up the Xindu Protectorate, and King Yubin will appoint the Xindu Protector, but he certainly can't control the government's recent state and county military towns, etc., so Qin Xiaozhong also proposed that the Xindu Protector's Chang Shi and Sima divide It is served by the officials sent by the imperial court.
One government, two administrations, all guarding the Tu-Bin and other Tu-states, Chang Shi and Sima Guan Tang people and the Tu people in their cities.
Xindu Changshi and Xindu Sima are in charge of Xindu both protecting the civil and military affairs of the places controlled by the Tang people.
"Xindu Changshi is stationed in New Yangzhou Port, which is convenient for strengthening trade, while Xindu Sima is stationed in the north..."
Qin Xiaozhong proposed that in order to strengthen the control of Xindu, it is necessary to control the important channel between the Xindu River Basin and Tocharo, which is located at the Khyber Pass of the Kaiber Mountain. This is where the Tocharo area enters the Xindu River, The most important passage of Tianzhu, the geography is very dangerous.
Especially from the side of Tocharo, that is Yimapingchuan.
To the west of the mountain pass is the Huwen City where the capital of Kubin is located, which is later known as Kabul. Along the Kabul River to the east and over the Khyber Pass, you will find the Peshawar Basin Plain, which is also the most important territory of Gandhara.
In the past, the Greeks, Persians, Cypriots, Guishan people, and White Huns all invaded eastward through this mountain pass.
Qin Xiaozhong proposed to build a Khyber fortress here, just like Yanmen Pass or Tong Pass, to block this dangerous mountain pass.
At the same time, build a new city on the plain to the east of the mountain pass, which can be used as the back support of the pass, and can also develop trade. It can also use the fertile basin plain to develop agriculture, provide money and food for the pass city nearby, and even supply Congling further north. Money and food in Kunlun Town.
If this pass and the new city are built, it can still lock up Binbin to the west of the Khyber Pass, east of the Daxue Mountain, and more than a dozen small countries in the Xindu River Basin. They will be separated from him in the future and will be less affected.
Not to mention that after mastering this mountain pass, it will also control the trade route more tightly, completely occupying an active position, which can be attacked or defended.
This new Xindu City blocks the Khyber Pass Fortress in the west, the Xindu River in the east, and the Kabul River and Congling Kunlun in the north. There are both fertile basins and dangerous mountains and rivers here. The new Yangzhou and Dahai do not need many soldiers. After the construction of Guanhe City, thousands of people will be stationed here, and this place will be stable.
······
Both prime ministers appreciated and supported this plan.
Subsequently, the imperial court appointed Wei Siqian as the governor of the Xindu Prefecture, Wu Sansi as the Sima of the Xindu Prefecture, Yao Chong, a doctor of the Ministry of Justice, as the governor of the new Yangzhou, Qin Yao, the crown prince, as the governor of the new Yangzhou, and Qin Rui as the governor of the new Yangzhou. The new Yangzhou soldier Cao participated in the military, and the deputy envoy of Khyber Pass Town Guard...
