Li Qin recalled that he had been granted the title of king, so should he also receive the Nine Bestowments?
After thinking for a moment, Li Qin decided to grant the title of king first.
After we destroy the Jinling court, we will bestow upon them the Nine Bestowments.
After pacifying the country, the household registration was transferred directly.
Completed in one go.
He sent a message to his younger brother Li Wenqi in Jinzhou, instructing him to come to Liaodong as soon as possible to oversee the region and protect their hometown. After all, he was not comfortable entrusting their hometown to a general from another family.
After doing all this, Li Qin led his army to Shenyang.
After the army arrived in Shenyang, Wei Xiaokuan immediately led the generals who had stayed in Shenyang to pay their respects to Li Qin.
Upon seeing them, Li Qin immediately helped them up with a smile.
And they kept saying that they had all made contributions.
I will reward them handsomely when I return to the capital.
Throughout the entire process, Li Qin's smile reflected his high regard and trust in them.
There is absolutely no concern about their loyalty.
Why didn't the Tatars send troops to support us when we were facing off against them?
They didn't even mention the matter of harassing the Tatars' rear, let alone disturbing them.
After arriving in Shenyang, Li Qin immediately began preparations for succeeding as the Great Khan of the Tatars, having been elected by the Tatar tribes.
He also dealt with some officials who had performed poorly in the Tatar invasion.
After dealing with some officials, Li Qin immediately began the ceremony for succeeding as the Great Khan of the Tatars.
With the support of numerous Tatar tribes, he succeeded as the Great Khan of the Tatars.
Li Qin looked at the Tatar tribesmen kneeling below.
They knew that this was only a part of what was on the grassland.
There are also many other scattered tribes on the grasslands.
They estimated that they would not acknowledge their position as the Great Khan of the Tatars.
But it doesn't matter, he will be succeeding as the Great Khan of the Tatars in Shenyang today.
It's all to leave a reason for the future.
Even if he, the Tatar Khan, can only control the southern part of the Gobi Desert, the northern part and even the western part will not listen to him.
But with this status, he can send troops to crush them in the future and force them to admit it.
Because he clearly understood that the grasslands were not the Central Plains, he could not forcibly apply the management model of the Central Plains to the grasslands.
Because the poor economic foundation of the grasslands could not support the management model of the Central Plains.
The two are completely incompatible.
The Central Plains needed to rely on a large number of bureaucrats and registered households to establish a stable source of tax revenue, but the barren economic foundation of the grasslands simply could not support so many bureaucrats.
Moreover, because the grasslands are not farmland, they can only graze their livestock and roam freely.
We've finished eating at the pasture here today, so we'll go eat somewhere else.
In the days before cell phones, once they left, you simply couldn't contact them anymore.
Tax collection is extremely difficult, and the income simply cannot cover the expenditure.
In the end, they could only rely on continuous blood transfusions from the Central Plains to survive.
The result could only provoke great dissatisfaction among the landlords and gentry of the Central Plains.
The money they painstakingly handed over was continuously poured into that bottomless pit on the grassland.
They have places in the Central Plains where they need to spend money.
The Yellow River requires significant financial investment every few years for its management, and water conservancy facilities, roads, and rest stops in various regions all require maintenance.
The world is so big, and every year, some places will inevitably suffer from disasters, which all require money for disaster relief.
But you keep throwing money into that bottomless cave in the grassland.
Despite such enormous expenses, it was still possible to maintain the dynasty when it was strong and the imperial power was powerful.
However, as the dynasty's power weakens and its revenue decreases, the discontent of officials and landlords will deepen further.
Ultimately, abandoning the grasslands and shrinking the frontier is inevitable.
Moreover, I need to save money to fight in the south.
How could it possibly be thrown onto the grassland?
Therefore, he decided to first succeed as the Great Khan of the Tatars and establish a different management model on the grasslands.
This management model was developed by them through trial and error.
After pacifying the country, he succeeded to the throne.
He was the emperor of the Central Plains and also the Khan of the grasslands.
The grasslands and the Central Plains use two parallel management models.
They can be considered two countries.
But both countries have one leader, and that is me.
From now on, south of the Great Wall I will be the emperor of the Central Plains people south of the Great Wall, and beyond the Great Wall I will be the Khan of the Tatars north of the Great Wall.
Immediately after the succession ceremony, Li Qin demarcated the boundary of the southern grasslands for them.
The grasslands of southern Mongolia were divided into countless portions and distributed to them.
Of course, there are still other Tatar forces in the southern steppes, but none of them are strong.
They were no match for these Tatars.
Anyway, I've already allocated the territory to you; you can go and fight for the pasture yourselves.
Based on the grasslands allocated to them, Li Qin also planned to build several cities on the southern grasslands.
There were a few soldiers stationed there, but not many, because he didn't have extra money to invest in the grasslands.
It was impossible to have these soldiers hold off the Tatars.
These soldiers were responsible for one thing: wandering around the edges of the grasslands of various tribes.
They were instructed to monitor the activity range of each Tatar tribe and prevent them from grazing their livestock on the pastures of other steppe tribes.
This greatly restricted their nomadic nature, making them like the farmers in the Central Plains who were tied to the land.
They were tied to their respective pastures.
In his old house in Shenyang, Li Qin took care of some other matters.
He then entrusted the matter to Li Wenqi and led his army back to the capital.
