The issue of public opinion can be subdivided into public opinion among the upper echelons of the empire, public opinion among the people, and even public opinion within the military. However, no matter which type, the soldiers of the Tang Empire were not allowed to use the same backward weapons as the indigenous people, and it was even unacceptable.

The imperial soldiers suffered too many casualties while fighting the natives.

Why?

The empire cannot afford to lose that face!

The people of China and the Tang Empire did not regard the natives as human beings at all.

In the minds of the people of the empire, when the Tang Army fought with the natives, it should be their own guns and artillery fire that would cause the natives to collapse. Otherwise, how could we demonstrate the advanced nature of the empire and the superiority of the people of the empire?

If the army dares to let its soldiers hold muskets and bayonets to fight the natives in close combat, and in the end they will win a tragic victory, one by one, all the big bosses of the army will fall.

Because the majority of the people of the empire disagree!

When did the majestic Imperial Army fall to the point of having to compete with the natives on bayonets?

You Army is shameless, but I still want to be.

Now the self-confidence of the people of the empire has swelled to a peak that has almost never been reached in China's history!

Looking around the world, there is no single enemy.

In China, no, it should be said that in the history of mankind, there has never been a nation or a country as strong as the Tang Dynasty.

The few powerful Chinese dynasties in the past, no matter how powerful they were, could not do whatever they wanted. Even when facing the surrounding indigenous countries, especially other regional powers, they could only have a tougher attitude at most, but

It is also impossible to say that you want to fight. If you really fight, you may not win...

At most, he just scornfully called barbarians and said a few words to embolden himself. But I haven’t seen that dynasty that could really completely wipe out the northern steppes and Central Asia. Let alone Europe, I don’t even know where the Mediterranean is.

!

But now the Tang Empire!

Not to mention the surrounding indigenous people, even if the penguins in Antarctica offend the Tang Empire, the empire has the ability to send troops to Antarctica to kill them...

The Fuso Islands became the Empire's homeland, Beihai Province.

The Nanyang Islands became the mainland provinces of Luzon and Banten, the state of Malacca, Australia, and the Nanyang Peninsula became the new homeland of the empire, with tens of millions of immigrants ready to open up a new breadbasket for the empire.

The most important thing is that the Tang Dynasty did not rely on pure military conquest, nor did it say that it would accept the local indigenous people and then rule the place. The Datang Empire directly took an unprecedented and probably unprecedented move to relocate the country, and directly conquered Nanyang.

The indigenous people moved to central Africa and created the twelve Southeast Asian countries.

The people of the Tang Dynasty can proudly claim that the Nanyang region will be the territory of the Tang Dynasty now and even in the future!

Because the people living there are all Tang people.

In the Americas, North America and South America are developing rapidly, and the population has officially exceeded 10 million.

In India, the empire also directly occupied large areas of land and overseas territories, and indirectly ruled almost the entire Indian peninsula in a colonial manner.

As for the Mughal Dynasty, although it ruled the northwest region of India, the current Mughal Dynasty is no longer as powerful as it was in the past.

This can be seen from the fact that it has sent more than ten princesses to the Tang Dynasty court in recent years!

In other words, almost all the direct princesses of the contemporary Mughal royal family who are of the right age and conform to the aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty were sent to the Tang court without exception!

Moreover, simply sending a princess as a gift is of no use. Akbar of the Mughal Dynasty removed his original title of 'Shah' and applied for canonization. Not to mention becoming a minister, the most important thing is that the Mughal Dynasty was

Recognizing the inheritance rights of the descendants of these princesses to the throne of the Mughal Kingdom.

Of course, he was relatively low in the line of succession. After all, Akbar himself had sons and grandsons.

But even this is rare.

The situation in the Mughal Dynasty was completely different from that in the Kingdom of Spain.

Although it is said that the descendants of Elizabeth, who has been married to the Holy Emperor, also have the inheritance rights of the King of Spain, the King of Portugal and many other titles, this is not a special change. Instead, Elizabeth herself has the inheritance rights of the above titles, just by comparison.

Only later.

Therefore, her children will also have the inheritance rights to the above titles.

Strictly speaking, the marriage between the Kingdom of Spain and the Tang Empire was a relatively traditional political marriage. Elizabeth still received preferential treatment in the Tang Dynasty, and her political status in the harem was much stronger than that of other foreign women who married.

Now she is pregnant. Once she gives birth to a son and a half daughter for the Holy Emperor, she will definitely get the title of 'concubine'.

But on the Mughal side, it was different.

Because the Mughal Dynasty did not have a tradition of female inheritance, and even if it is changed now, it does not mean to recognize the inheritance rights of these princesses, but to recognize the inheritance rights of the male descendants of these princesses and the Holy Emperor.

To put it bluntly, this is a special case released specifically for Datang!

However, this situation is not uncommon. Many princes and princesses in the Tang Empire had a lot of messy title inheritance rights because their mothers were from foreign races. Although they themselves were not valued within the empire, they had a lot of messy title inheritance rights, and they will also have inheritance rights in the future.

A chance to inherit a kingdom!

However, the marriage was similar to that of the Mughal Empire, which sent all the direct princesses who were of the right age and whose aesthetics matched those of the Tang Dynasty to the Tang court. Currently, they are the only Mughal family.

Why?

Because they are right on the edge of the Tang Empire!

Facing the threat of the Tang Dynasty's troops at any time.

They knew that there were tens of thousands of Tang troops on the border.

The southern line of the Central Asia Railway has been built directly to the border. Although the Tang Army has not deployed many troops on the border in southern Central Asia, it also has three second-line garrison divisions, with a total strength of only 30,000 at most.

People were left and right, and they also divided their forces to deal with the Mughal Dynasty and the Safi Dynasty of Persia at the same time.

However, dealing with the military threats from these two countries is not actually the main strategic task of these three divisions. If you really want to deal with these two countries, there is no need to deploy three things on the border all year round. Just any second-line garrison division,

It can destroy the Mughal dynasty ten or eight times.

What's more, if it was purely for war, the Tang Army usually carried out rapid transportation directly through railways and mobilized troops directly from strategic towns. It only took a few days to mobilize tens of thousands of front-line main troops to reach the front line.

The strategic mission of these three garrison divisions is actually to block the border and prohibit indigenous people from various countries from sneaking across the border!
