李大亮“论伊吾之众”述论——兼评唐太宗对外政策的缺陷

A Disscuss of Li Daliang's On the Ethnic Groups in Yiwu:Also Discussing the Defects of the Foreign Policy of Emperor Taizong of Tang

作为一代名将,李大亮为后世所景仰的无疑是其智勇双全的魄力和忠孝仁义的品质。贞观年间(627—649),在处理边疆民族问题上,李大亮反对朝廷过度靡费的招慰措施,主张"九州殷盛,四夷自服"的深根固本理念,他所提出的"臣而不内"的控抚策略,是符合唐初社会发展实际的。虽然起初这些建议并没有被唐太宗完全接纳,但历史发展证实了其预测的准确性,从而获得史官的赞誉。

Li Daliang,as a famous general in Tang Dynasty,is respected and admired by later generations for his virtues of wisdom,bravery,loyalty,filialness,benevolence,and righteousness.During the reign of Emperor Taizong(627-649)of Tang Dynasty,in the issue of dealing with the ethnic groups in frontiers,Li Daliang opposes the wasteful and lavish policy of offering them amnesty and consolation gifts,and proposes his governance idea that if China is prosperous and rich,her frontiers and borderlands will be stable and peaceful.Accordingly,he puts forward his controlling and pacifying policy:accepting them as subject ethnic groups but not moving them in.Li Daliang’s governance idea and policy are appropriate and suit the economic and social realities then;and historical development proves his predictive veracity and later official historians praise him much,although Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty does not wholly adopt his ideas and advice.
