The Tang Dynasty was a country that was open to the outside world, but the opening up of the Tang Dynasty did not mean that foreigners would be treated as VIPs for no reason, but that the surrounding ethnic groups would be convinced and willing to work for themselves as workers.
Goguryeo Prince, right? The offer from the Tang Dynasty was just to let them serve as foremen of the honor guard, and the Turkic princes were just security guards who stood guard for the Tang Dynasty emperor. Because in the Tang Dynasty, foreign princes were not rare. Real princes of foreign races had no capital and would not receive preferential treatment. Li Shimin made 26 foreign kings kneel down, and countless foreign princes worked for him. The one who worked for Li Shimin as a security guard in Jiucheng Palace was an authentic Turkic prince.
They are respectively Ashina and Ashina Heluohu. Ashina is the younger brother of Prince Tuli and Heluohu is the son of Prince Tuli. Prince Tuli is also called Tuli Khan. His biological father is Shibi Khan who besieged Emperor Sui Yang and invested in Li Yuan. Therefore, Ashina Association rate, Ashina He Luo Falcon is a 24K Turkic prince. After the Turks were defeated by the Tang army, Li Shimin was not polite and directly made them the leaders of his security. The leader of the Ashina Association only had the rank of Zhonglang General, and he was very unconvinced, so he launched an assassination of Li Shimin.
The failure of this operation did not change the fate of the Turkic princes. The policy of the Tang Dynasty was still that whoever had ready-made cavalry available, and who could provide high-quality cooperation with the Tang army, would be reused in the Tang Dynasty. Without soldiers and horses, there would be no If you have military talent, then just cool off. Turkic nobles such as Ashinadur and Shidanai were reused as a result, and many Turks became horse herders in the Tang Dynasty.
One of the most tenacious enemies of the Tang Dynasty was Goguryeo. The Tang Dynasty killed more than 200,000 Goguryeo soldiers one after another, causing one-third of Goguryeo families to lose their young adults, and nearly 300,000 people. The Goguryeo people were forcibly moved to the Tang Dynasty. Goguryeo's upper-class boy was also forced to become the working emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In Goguryeo, there were inner city and other 6 cities with a population of more than 100,000 households, accounting for about one-fifth of Goguryeo's population. Due to the power of his family, For their sake, Tang Gaozong reused their father and son. Quan Xiancheng, the son of Quan boy , led the way to Tang Jun and helped Tang Jun defeat his uncle. Quan Xiancheng was also very skilled in martial arts and ranked first in the Tang army in archery. Therefore, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty always liked to let his father and son participate in the conferment ceremonies and military parades.
Goguryeo civilians joined the Tang army in large numbers, which affected the history of the Tang Dynasty. Li Longji launched two coups, and those who participated in the coup were Wang Maozhong, Gao De and other descendants of Goguryeo survivors. After the two coups, Wang Maozhong became the general of the auxiliary state, the general of Zuowuwei, the inspector of the stables inside and outside the school, and the supervisor and pastor. He was the general person in charge of horse breeding affairs in the Tang Dynasty. The "North Gate Slave Officials" forces all regarded him as as the core. Many civilians in Goguryeo joined the army and produced many generals and warlords. In addition to Gao Xianzhi, Youzhou deputy governor Gao Qinde before the Anshi Rebellion was also a descendant of Goguryeo, and Hou Xiyi and Li Zhengji Pinglu The military leader of the feudal town is also a descendant of the Goguryeo people. Although the Goguryeo people also had domineering military leaders who joined the Tang army, their overall evaluation was pretty good, much better than the Sogdians An Lushan.
The Tang Dynasty was not polite to the Tubo who were not convinced by it. Even though the two empires were relatives, in 200 years, the Tang army and the Tubo fought 91 battles, fighting with mountains of corpses and blood, and the Tibetans who came to work in the Tang Dynasty Soldiers have also been reused. Because he was used to seeing foreigners, the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Li Mi was not polite to foreign guests. He directly threw those foreign princes who had been staying in Chang'an into the army. The dignity and openness of the Tang Dynasty were created by fighting, not by being "used to" unprincipled efforts to please foreigners.
