Du Qi said in a deep voice, "As for Jianpo Province, we've only taken over the capital of Kenpo Province. In fact, there are many smaller cities in the surrounding area. We need to take over these places and transform them one by one to truly seize them. Compared to the Western Regions or the Tang dynasty, Tianzhu's situation is very different. "
"What's implemented here is similar to a feudal system. The King of Jieri is the largest suzerain, and the countries under the Jieri Dynasty submit to him and respect the King of Jieri as their suzerain. However, each country has its own laws and armies, and is independent. "
"Similarly, it's the same in Kenpo Province. The princes and dukes of the cities under them are independent and have their own forces. Under this premise, to truly grasp Jianpo Province in our hands and even to break the current Tianzhu system is tantamount to an earth-shattering change. Therefore, it's easy for us to swallow Tianzhu's territory, but to truly achieve long-term stability is not something that can be done overnight. "
"This involves the reform of the system and the adjustment of local officials."
"Under this premise, the interests of countless people will be shaken. If we let our people handle this matter, we might be able to push things forward more quickly, but in reality, our understanding of the local situation is not as good as Vadhara's. "
Du Qi said, "Therefore, in the end, I chose Vadhara as the provincial governor. This is the general direction of consideration."
Shangguan Yi heard Du Qi's words. He was a wise man, and his thoughts were meticulous and meticulous. In particular, when he heard Du Qi say that he wanted to reform the system, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He said, "Your Majesty's plan is to overthrow Tianzhu's caste system?"
Du Qi said, "Shangguan knows me best."
Shangguan Yi said in a deep voice, "Only by overthrowing Tianzhu's caste system will the reform of Kenpo Province be incomparably complicated and shake the interests of countless people. Therefore, His Majesty pushed Vadhara out and let him handle the matter. Once he took charge of this matter, it would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of all those who had vested interests in Jianghuo Province. In the end, he could only walk this path to the end and follow His Majesty. Otherwise, in the end, Vadhara will get nothing. "
After a pause, Shangguan Yi said, "On the other hand, if he is captured, I'm afraid he won't even have a complete corpse."
Du Qi nodded. "That's what I meant."
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Qi continued, "Therefore, this matter is not suitable for our people to do. Vadhara is the most suitable candidate. In addition, the reform of the caste system is also the foundation for us to completely conquer Tianzhu. If it's just attacking cities and seizing land, there's not much meaning. With our military strength, even if the King of Jieri is strong, even if the King of Jieri has a mysterious army like the Elephant Soldiers. In front of us, the King of Jieri is still not enough. The root is still the reform of the caste system. "
Shangguan Yi's mind was already working quickly, catching up with Du Qi's rhythm. He sighed in admiration. "This subject understands, especially according to His Majesty's arrangements. When the caste system in Jianghuo Province is abolished, countless people at the lowest level will be freed. When the news spreads, the entire Tianzhu will be shaken. Without this matter, it won't cause a stir, and no one will dare to rebel against the caste system. However, with the precedent of Jianghuo Province, it will inevitably cause fireworks to rise all over Tianzhu, and more and more people will rebel. "
Shangguan Yi said, "This is the strategy of subduing people without fighting."
Du Qi said, "Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. This is the simplest principle. The ordinary people of Tianzhu may be willing to be oppressed when they don't have anyone to guide them, because they don't dare to rebel. Now that Jianghuo Province has set this precedent, there will be people who will follow suit. Because no one is willing to give up that slim chance. "
"Moreover, we can still guide them."
"As long as we send people to guide them a little, naturally, there will be people who will follow suit. In the end, a single spark will start a prairie fire and engulf all of Tianzhu. Tianzhu without changing the caste system, even if they pledge allegiance to us, in reality, they won't be of much value to us. At most, our territory will be slightly widened. "
"What we need to do is to truly bring Tianzhu into our control. Under this premise, we can't care about the gains and losses of a city or land, but should consider the hearts of the people. "
Du Qi expressed his thoughts.
This was Du Qi's governance plan in Tianzhu, and also the general direction of governing Tianzhu.
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Ma Zhou echoed, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone answered in unison. Everyone agreed with the idea.
Shangguan Yi continued, "In fact, there is another advantage. Although we have slowed down the speed of our attack, as long as we control the territory, it will be impregnable. Even if Xia Xia is attacked by the Tang dynasty, we can withdraw our troops at any time. Because the Tianzhu territory that we have taken is truly under our control, we don't have to worry about being counterattacked as soon as we withdraw. Slowing down a little and fighting steadily isn't a bad thing. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Shangguan Yi is right. What we need to do is to move forward step by step, and each step should be more steady and steady. It's better to expand a little slower than to be too hasty. This is the reason why I previously wanted to patrol various places in Xia Xia's territory. "
Everyone agreed with Du Qi's words, and there was no longer any doubt in their hearts.
Shangguan Yi said again, "Your Majesty, to abolish Tianzhu's caste system, I think this matter is easy. We can choose a few cases to deal with and guide them, and we can start to abolish the caste system."
Du Qi said, "This Emperor was thinking the same thing."
Ma Zhou said seriously, "Your Majesty, I think there is one more thing."
Du Qi asked, "What is it?"
Ma Zhou said, "Although the provincial governor is Vadhara, and Vadhara is allowed to appoint some people as officials. However, there should still be our people in Jiantuo Luozhou. Should we transfer scholars to Jiantuo Luozhou to take up positions? Although they won't take up official positions, they should also take up official positions like Senior Scribes and Registrars. This group of people should be gradually promoted to fill up various places. Only then can we truly assimilate Tianzhu and bring Tianzhu into our Xia Xia's system. "
Du Qi nodded, "Ma Zhou's words make sense. We can let Vadhara do as he pleases, but we must have our people. This matter, after meeting Vadhara tomorrow, we will make arrangements. "
Du Qi now had a complete idea of how to govern Tianzhu.
Although the entire process would take a lot of time and energy.
It was worth it.
After all, Tianzhu occupied a vast area and was extremely rich in resources. After taking down Tianzhu, Du Qi would have a true backing. He could have a foothold, and he could truly attack and defend.
Tianzhu was the most crucial part of Du Qi's plan. With Tianzhu as a foundation, Du Qi's expansion would be much smoother.
Hence, there was no room for mistakes.
