The sign of a country's strength is the status of foreigners in their own country, the elimination of more than a hundred and ten regimes, the hundreds of foreign royal families to bow down to the subject is the basic operation, the people of these countries are also accustomed to foreigners, the Tang Dynasty is precisely an empire. The Tang Dynasty had a brilliant foreign record, some of the large households in Chang'an City were Silla concubines and Kunlun Nuns, some of the liquor stores in Chang'an were huji who sold wine, and there were more than 400 military officers from Turkic origins in Chang'an City, so even the employment of foreign magnates in the Chang'an job market was gradually rolled in, and there were scenes of foreign princes and kings rushing to be the security managers of Daming Palace.
The Tang Dynasty treated foreigners very carefully, and the Tang Dynasty army gave priority to hiring foreign chiefs with tribes and a large number of horse cavalry reserves, who generally served as envoys of the Oshi tribe in the army of Fanzhen, Murong Mingge (a descendant of the Tuguhun royal family), Qibi Heli (the grandson of Tiele Ge on Yi Bu Shi Mohe Khan, with the hereditary heritage of more than 1,000 nomadic herders), Hui Qiqiong (the brother of the founding monarch of the Uighur Khanate), Bone Li PeiLuo), and others were thus mixed into the Tang Army. In the Tang Dynasty army, it was better to be promoted to a higher rank and richer, and to be a military attaché in Chang'an City was more promising than to be on the side, because the salary standard given by the Tang Government was that the officials in the capital were higher than the localities.
Therefore, this group of foreign princes rushed to Chang'an, even if it was to give the Tang Emperor a vigil as a security guard. In the feudal dynasty, the most important reliance of the courtiers is not the level of the official rank, but how close the emperor is, as a normal male, being a personal guard for the emperor is often a good step into the body, and the average person really can't be. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, only the sons of the eunuch family and the famous macho men on the battlefield had this qualification, for example, Emperor Wen of Sui let a little guy named Li Yuan serve as his own Thousand Bull Guards, Li Shimin could not sleep at night and found Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong to stand guard (the two of them happened to be the left and right Wu Wei generals, responsible for the palace guards), Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were standing guard outside when Hu Tianhu Emperor of wannian Palace was Xue Rengui (that night there was a flash flood, Xue Rengui saved Li Zhi). In the Tang Dynasty's bodyguard system, the left and right Wuwei grand generals (who were in charge of the palace guards, the Yi wei of the Fan yi mansion, and the xiongqu fanshang of the outer mansion, which were assigned) equivalent to the security manager of the Daming Palace also became the positions contested by foreign kings and princes.
Qifu HeLi was wounded and bleeding on the battlefield of Liaodong. He broke through Goguryeo's defense line on the Yalu River, participated in the war to destroy Gaochang, Xue Yantuo/Tuguhun and other countries, and led the Tang army to cross more than 10,000 miles. However, he still did not get the position of left and right Wu Wei General, and before he was born, he was the Left Xiao Wei General of the Tang Dynasty, and he was still one level away from the emperor. After the death of Qifu Heli, his precious son Qi Mingming succeeded him, and with the blood bonus of his mother Lintao County Lord, Qi ming became the Great General of Zuo Wuwei of the Tang Dynasty under the fate of fate.
Goguryeo was the most tenacious enemy of the Tang Dynasty, which killed more than 400,000 Goguryeo soldiers and moved one-tenth of the Goguryeo residents to the interior to join the army, so the Tang dynasty kings also attached great importance to the nobles and royal families of Goguryeo. Quan Gai Suwen's grandson Quan Xiancheng was also the first master of archery in the Tang Dynasty Janissaries, and he also became a general of the Right Guard, standing guard for his grandfather's enemies.
Ge Shuhan was also born from the Tuqi Shi Tuhao, his mother was a princess of Khotan, and after joining the army, he had a number of Tang Dynasty poets praised the battle record, which made him a great general of the Right Wu Wei. Even gu huai'en, who had distinguished himself in battle during the Anshi Rebellion, was not proud of the Uighur Khanate's Great Khan Taishan, and liked to call himself the great general of Zuo Wuwei after Ge Bayan.
The foreign princes also caused chaos when they stood guard for the Tang emperor, and the Turkic prince Ashina was dissatisfied because he was not a general of Zuo Wuwei, but only a general of Zhonglang, and wanted to kill Li Shimin. In general, the Tang Dynasty did not play a big chess game for foreign princes and magnates, who could bring thousands of cavalry, and also have a good battlefield performance, which could become the head of security of the Daming Palace.
