Chapter 1038: Princess Xian'an
After recovering Yanqi, it was not only Datang and the servants who benefited from the battle that were happy, but also those merchants from the Western Regions. The trade route from Xizhou to Xizhou, and then from Xizhou Yanqi to Qiuci fell under the control of Datang.
Doing business under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, their safety is guaranteed, and they will not be exploited by Tubo and plundered by small tribes along the way as before.
Therefore, Shen Long met many businessmen who came to ask him, when will Datang attack Hexi and Longyou again, and re-open the commercial route from Datang to the Western Regions? They have been longing for this for many years. In order to see this day come as soon as possible, they are willing to inquire about information and even donate military expenses for Datang.
Shen Long was very relieved. As long as there were profits, these businessmen would support Datang. Datang existed as an order maker and defender in the Western Regions. As long as this order could bring benefits to most people, Datang would It will win their support. This is the root of the Tang Dynasty's rule of the Western Regions, not just the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beiting Dufu Mansion and Anxi Duhu Mansion.
Of course, the maintenance of any order must rely on force. If there is no force, then these orders are like fortresses built on sand. It may be fine at ordinary times, but once the wind blows, the fortress will definitely fall apart.
After staying in Yanqi for a few days, when everything was on the right track, Shen Long returned to Tingzhou City and continued to lead the formation of the Han Navy. After working for a while, Kang Guangde came back.
He brought back a large number of Tang people living abroad. Shen Long warmly welcomed their return and held a grand banquet for them. They arrange work and distribute wives, hoping that they can temporarily forget the pain of the past and continue to work for Datang.
Regarding Kang Guangde, he did not hesitate to praise him, "This time things are done well, and we will continue in the future. According to the current speed, it is estimated that you can send back so many people at most, and you can officially become a citizen of my Tang Dynasty! "
"Thank you, little man." Kang Guangde was very grateful, it was much faster than staying in the Han Navy and working hard, and for him, being a merchant was more suitable than being a soldier and fighting a war.
"My Great Tang will never forget those who have made great contributions to the Great Tang. After you officially become a citizen of my Great Tang, you will be able to hold official positions like other people in the Great Tang. Maybe you can become the lord of a certain city in the future. !" Datang has so many prefectures in the Western Regions, it is impossible to let someone from Datang be the chief officer, and it is much better to give it to someone like Kang Guangde who has surrendered to Datang than to those tribal leaders.
"The villain must keep in mind the teachings of economics and strategy, and continue to do our best to serve my Tang Dynasty!" Kang Guangde bowed down again, he seemed to see the picture of himself wearing the official uniform of the Tang Dynasty and receiving praise from many foreign races, and was deeply fascinated by it. It took a long time to come back to my senses, "Jing Lue,
The villain met a Tang man before, he refused to reveal his identity, only said that he had important matters to discuss with the manager, the villain dared not neglect, so he brought him back. "
"Oh? Please come in!" Shen Long was a little curious, and immediately brought him in tomorrow. After entering, the man glanced at Kang Guangde, and Shen Long waved his hand to make Kang Guangde retreat, leaving only the two of them in the hall.
"My servant is Wei Yuanfang, the deputy commander of the guards under Princess Xian'an of the Great Tang Dynasty. I pay my respects to the envoy!"
"It turned out to be Commander Wei." Shen Long returned a salute, asked him to sit down, and then cupped his hands in the direction of the Uighur King's Tent, "The last time I passed by the King's Tent, thanks to His Royal Highness the Princess, I always remember In my mind, it was just that the schedule was rushed at that time, and I didn't have time to meet Her Royal Highness, since Commander Wei is here this time, it's better to bring the gift from the subordinate with me when I return."
Princess Xian'an is the eighth daughter of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty. In the third year of Zhenyuan, that is, three years before Shen Long entered the world, Huihe Wuyi succeeded. In order to prevent the Uyghurs from plundering Chang'an, he once paid homage to Prince Ye Hu of the Uyghurs. Although Prince Ye Hu immediately knelt down and paid homage, Tang Dezong always felt ashamed of this, so he wanted to refuse the marriage at first.
But later, under the persuasion of Prime Minister Li Mi, Tang Dezong married Princess Xian'an to Wuyi Chenggong Khan in the fourth year of Zhenyuan, and canonized him as the Khan of Longevity, and Princess Xian'an became the Wisdom Hui of Uighur. Upright longevity and filial piety can be dun.
In July of the fifth year of Zhenyuan, Princess Xian'an arrived at the tent of the Uighur King and officially married Changshou Tianqin Khan. This is the daughter of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. Tang was very grateful, and has been attached to Datang ever since.
But shortly after Princess Xian'an got married, Changshou Tianqin Khan passed away, and his son Zhongzhen Khan succeeded to the throne. However, in the past four months, Zhongzhen Khan was poisoned to death by Shao Kedun Ye. Taking advantage of the chaos, he was called Fengcheng Khan. Originally, Jie Yujias would soon return to the king's account from the Western Regions, kill the usurper, and support the youngest son of the loyal Khan, A Chu, as the new Khan, called Midulu Vija Khan, Datang canonized him as Fengcheng Khan.
Due to the butterfly effect caused by Shen Long, Jie Yujias has not had time to attack the usurper, and the younger brother of the loyal Khan is still the Uighur Khan.
According to Uighur rules, when the long-lived Khan died, Princess Xian'an had to marry his successor. However, due to the short reign of the loyal Khan, he left before the ceremony could be held. Princess Xian'an was not affected by this. I am wronged, but now the time for the usurper to ascend to the throne of Khan is not short, and Princess Xian'an may have no reason to delay.
Of course, this rule is not dead. Princess Ningguo of Tang Dynasty also married Huihe Khan earlier. After the death of Khan, Huihe people asked her to be buried, but she was refuted by Princess Ningguo without hesitation, saying, " According to my Chinese law, when a son-in-law dies, he will hold a funeral, weep day and night, and serve for three years. Now when you return to Hokage to marry a wife, you must respect Chinese rituals. If you follow the law of your country, why do you have to marry thousands of miles away?"
Then she cut her face with a knife and cried loudly, and the matter was over like this; because Princess Ningguo and Huihe Khan had no children, she returned to Datang safely afterwards, and Tang Suzong ordered all officials to welcome her outside Mingfeng Gate , in order to thank her for her contribution to Datang, Princess Ningguo married twice afterwards, and she was not affected.
Thinking of this, Shen Long wondered, what does Princess Xian'an mean by sending someone here? Do you want to return to Datang like Princess Ningguo?
