Three hundred and sixtieth chapters post-war rewards
Compared with Li Chengqian's wailing, Li Shimin was also somewhat confused about Wang Xuance's use of the Xuefu soldiers and the Qiang tribes around Qinghai to kill Tubo.
But what can I do? Du Chuke not only sent all kinds of Tubo flags, but even the envoys who asked for surrender to the Tubo were sent here together. He had to ask for peace from the Tang Dynasty.
The Tubo envoy said to Li Shimin: "The small Tubo country offended the power of the Tang Dynasty and was willing to pay compensation and surrender. In the southwest of Yongzhen, I hope that the Khan of Tian Khan will find that the two countries have the same lineage as China, and asked the Tang Dynasty to stop fighting and restore peace to the people of the two countries."
Whether Tubo was not important because of the Chinese lineage, it was important to admit this, so Li Tang had a reason to stop.
As for the legal system, the ghostly places on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are not rare, at least during Li Shimin's reign, it is absolutely not rare.
So, the most important thing is how to calm this war down.
"It is my wish for the two countries to stop fighting. Since Tubo has realized his mistake, I asked Tubo Zamp to send his legitimate son to the Tang Dynasty for education. From then on, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have been harmonious and friendly for generations.
Stay together!”
"Thank you the Khan of Heaven and the Khan, thank you the Emperor Tang for being kind!" The Tubo envoy expressed his gratitude to Li Shimin and withdrew from the hall.
Li Shimin didn't care when he saw the Tubo envoy leaving, because the conditions had been settled by both sides, and now he just came to meet and left the process.
For the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is to make Tubo recognize itself as a branch of China and surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
As for Tubo, they had to survive instead of continuing to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
As the Tubo envoy left, Li Shimin called Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Li Jing.
Yes, even Li Jing was pulled out of his home this time and he had to attend this meeting.
"Tubo lost 300,000 soldiers in this battle, and with compensation of 10,000 taels of gold, the Tubo prince entered Chang'an as a property. I think the southwest should be safe for twenty years!" Fang Xuanling said calmly.
But to be honest, even Fang Xuanling didn't expect that a Tubo suddenly appeared in the southwest, and he actually recruited 500,000 people to attack the Tang Dynasty.
"Have you not negotiated the strategic location of the East Girl Country?" Li Jing asked.
As a general, he did not know anything about internal affairs, but he understood the important land of the East Girl Kingdom very well.
"This land is the only way for Tubo to resist our Tang Dynasty, and it is basically impossible to talk about!"
Fang Xuanling shook his head. There was basically only a confidential place where he could only fight and talk about it.
It’s like the Yanmen Pass in the north, or the key cities such as Xiangyang and Hefei in some southern regimes, I have never heard of any regime that had to cut off these places when they had no choice but to cut them out. By the way, the Sixteen Prefectures of the Son Emperor Yanyun are not
Calculate.
When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pity.
However, Li Jing also knew that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to work hard to conquer Tubo.
The same thing is said, Tubo belongs to a small border country, and the Tang Dynasty has no benefit in conquering it. It is okay to say that the current self-defense counterattack war is now, but it is necessary to travel thousands of miles to destroy Tubo. It can only be said that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo do not have this grudge yet.
.
Of course, if Li Shimin knew about the future love, hate, and love between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely... he would also fight Goguryeo first.
"At least this time, Tubo is definitely injuring. Before the next generation comes out, the southwest will have twenty years of stability!" Du Ruhui made a decision.
To be honest, it has basically been twenty years, and at least the Zhenguan period doesn’t have to worry about Tubo.
"Compared with Tubo, it's a trivial matter. The question now is how to reward the meritorious ministers this time!"
Li Shimin pressed his head and knew that Qingque had always had a good vision, just like himself.
But I never expected that Qingque's vision would be so good!
Wang Xuance only used four or five thousand academic soldiers, including the government soldiers supported by Du Chuke, and the Qiang tribes around Qinghai to kill 300,000 Tubo soldiers.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Xuance was trained by Qingque, I would probably have trained Wang Xuance as the second Li Jing.
But is it possible?! If you do this yourself, what's the difference between it and proclaiming the deposed prince? It's a headache!
"Du Chuke saved up supplies and transported food and grass, and can be promoted to another level. I suggest dispatching it to Luoyang as a Luoyang Order!" Du Ruhui was the first to stand up and spoke. As for everyone's gaze, Du Ruhui said that he was thick-skinned and didn't care.
Regardless of whether Du Chuke was determined to follow Li Tai, it is undeniable that Du Ruhui could not let his brother continue to be with him in the Hehuang Valley.
Since you have the chance to redirect him, then please redirect him.
From Xiazhou to Luoyang Order, everyone was promoted to the next level. Some people might be ridiculed by other guys without backgrounds, but who can say no to the Du family of Jingzhao?
Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui and didn't say much.
After all, Du Chuke's dispatch had been decided long ago, otherwise Li Tai would not have licked his face, as King of Wei, and also served as the Luoyang Order.
But when you think about the road under construction in Henan Road, you need a decisive guy to assist Li Tai, so that Li Tai can free up his hands smoothly, so it is almost inevitable that Du Chuke will be the Luoyang Order.
"But!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "Where is the remaining Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance!"
These two people need headaches, and compared with Du Chuke, it is really nothing.
To be honest, everyone only felt that Wang Xuance was a horse raising for Li Tai, but who knew that he had the ability suddenly.
"Xihai County is Xihai Prefecture, and King Xuance is appointed as the governor of Xihai Prefecture." Fang Xuanling said with his eyebrows,
"Wang Xuance is good at dealing with foreign races, and has the ability to govern prefectures and counties. Now he has the merits of expelling Tubo. It is enough to shock Qinghai in Xihai Prefecture, so he has placed him like a British Duke."
To be honest, Fang Xuanling naturally could see that Li Shimin didn't want Wang Xuance to come back very much.
Because when he came back, Li Shimin could not keep such a meritorious minister in a cold storage manner. Is that going to suppress the King of Wei?
I think Li Shimin didn't have this idea, so he would value Wang Xuance, even if he didn't instigate Li Tai to plan the throne.
So, let’s continue to throw Wang Xuance in the border area and continue to raise horses!
"Duke of Britain... Li Ji Li Maogong." Hearing this, Li Shimin reacted and said it was Li Ji.
Since Li Ji became the governor of Bingzhou, while governing military affairs, he actually handled civil affairs.
Basically, these generals on the frontier are both economic and political, and they all have both internal and military responsibilities.
At least there were no more than the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Before the period of history of the Wufu Dang Kingdom, although the military and political separation was nominally separated, it was actually just around the central government.
Generally, generals in the upper border areas also have dual military and political functions, and even those who provide supplies do not rely on the court.
However, this kind of military and political capture basically occurred in the Tang Dynasty.
After the subsequent dynasties experienced the division of civil and military rule, there was basically no military conspiracy except for special periods.
"Well! This is pretty good!" Li Shimin nodded. It is not uncommon to directly improve a regional level in order to reward someone.
However, Qinghai did not have the basis of Chinese rule at the beginning, but after Wang Xuance's years of operation, the area east of Qinghai was basically under the control of the Tang Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to promote it to a state.
At worst, you can draw the area of Xihai County a little larger, and place like Wuhai and Jishishan to Xihai.
But generally speaking, the Tang Dynasty was divided according to population, and was there such a large area? In fact, Xihai Prefecture is still Xiazhou, because there are less than 20,000 households who come to pay taxes.
"Then how should Xue Rengui and his academic army arrange it?" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui, and Du Ruhui looked at Li Jing. Li Jing originally wanted to see Wei Zheng, but found that everyone was looking at him.
Li Jing said helplessly, "The Xuefu soldiers are different from other Mansion soldiers. Although they are called Mansion soldiers, they are strictly considered to be recruiting soldiers from the private placement of the King of Wei. Don't forget that when the Xuefu soldiers were dragged to be Mansion soldiers,
The King of Wei made an agreement with the saints. Three years later, those recruiting troops will be retired and become free again. The King of Wei is still waiting to use them!"
"Qingque and I made this agreement!" Li Shimin unconsciously looked at the ceiling above his head when he heard Li Jing's words.
"After attacking Tuyuhun, the King of Wei advocated the development of the Hehuang Valley and needed soldiers to station in Qinghai, but other soldiers were recruited and served too far, and the miasma environment in Qinghai was not suitable for short-term stationing of soldiers.
Therefore, the saint agreed to let the soldiers from the Agricultural College stationed in Qinghai and be able to retire after serving for three years.
And after almost three years this year, the first batch of soldiers should be discharged from the army after this year!”
Li Jing looked at Li Shimin who didn't seem to want to recognize him very much, and couldn't help but say, "Of course, maybe it's me who remembers Hutu!"
Li Shimin saw Li Jing explaining the matter clearly, but he wanted to separate the relationship. He suddenly felt that Li Jing was still annoying!
At the beginning, I wanted to throw people from the agricultural institution directly over to join the army, but who told Li Tai to create medical practitioners and organizations like the agricultural society that can communicate directly with the grassroots level?
So I felt that there were not enough people, so I waited for the three-year period of the Xuefu Army to fill the grassroots level.
As a result, when they saw that the 4,000 people in the war report killed 300,000 Tubo troops, and such a combat-capable army abandoned them, Li Shimin was a little reluctant to let them go.
These are veterans who have participated in the big battles, and they are different from those veterans who have just experienced it!
"Don't pretend to be stupid!" Li Shimin said, and gave Li Jing a relatively detailed battle report,
"For 4,000 to 300,000, I have lost less than twenty people. Do you think I am willing to let them be discharged from the army like this?!"
Li Shimin felt that he was crazy, so he would let the soldiers of this army be discharged. I am afraid that his Xuan Armor Guard would not be able to cause such damage to the battle!
"No!" Li Jing looked at Li Shimin's battle report, looked up at Li Shimin and said,
"The King of Wei's army was brought out by the King of Wei. The war department's talent was mastered by weapons. Later, it was handed over to Xue Rengui to station in Qinghai and changed to adaptable to various negative environments.
If they have double talents, they can kill Tubo's military officials.
But it is still only a one-day war department, relying on weapons to master the power of its own weapons, but the damage to the battle is too low."
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling came out and coughed a few times, saying:
"In fact, they are still wearing a 160-pound stomach!"
"How many?!" Li Jing was a little unresponsive when he heard Fang Xuanling's words.
I thought to myself that what Fang Xuanling said just now was 60 kilograms, it must be 60 kilograms!
Is there so much steel in the entire Tang Dynasty of 160 kilograms?
"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded and said, "One hundred and sixty kilograms of a person's stomach!"
"Bang!" Li Jing's hand fell down, and even felt a little dull.
Li Jing didn’t know what the concept of 160 kilograms of iron was, but the weight of 160 kilograms of armor was probably something that Li Jing dared not even think about!
"This armor stomach, this armor stomach..." Li Jing seemed to be talking about the brain-dead man who made this armor stomach.
But there is no need to ask, it must be King of Wei, and it is impossible for others to create such luxurious equipment.
Li Jing couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Is this aura reported?!"
"Reported!" Fang Xuanling said in a daze,
"But at that time, the King of Wei said that this thing was trained to be highly armored with talent, weighing 160 kilograms.
When I saw the memorial reported, I thought it was Shijia, so I gave him a dowry.
But there I know that he could actually make 160 kilograms of iron armor, no, even steel armor!"
"Well..." Even Li Shimin was very melancholy.
Because of this incident, I also saw it through Li Tai's diary.
In order to exercise the comprehensive combat power of the adaptive army, we try to increase the weight to train adaptive soldiers.
Then Li Tai clearly wrote a hundred and sixty kilograms of agaricus in his diary.
Li Shimin fought a war and knew the steel output of the entire Tang Dynasty.
In this case, Li Shimin of course thought that the training armor that Li Tai mentioned was wooden armor, and a little more was stone armor.
How could a normal person think about something like iron armor or even steel armor?
"..." Li Jing understood a little bit why he was brought over to this meeting, the retired old man.
Li Jing looked up at Li Shimin's eyes. It was obvious that he said that I wanted it too!
Just think about it, no soldier can refuse an elite cast of steel.
If it weren't for the emperor, it would be fine, but for Li Shimin, such a soldier full of combination of steel and power, had undergone battlefield experiments and could push 300,000 people to a single-day talented soldier.
How could it not be wanted?
Although the Tang Dynasty was in the system of military troops, the generals only retained their own soldiers and did not have their own troops, but generally the top troops would not be disbanded directly, such as Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army was not disbanded.
"The adaptive talented minister can be changed, but this Iron Minister has no choice!"
Li Jing looked at this adaptive talent helplessly, and felt that in his impression, this talent was just used to resist miasma.
Even if, theoretically, adaptability can adapt to the level of being hurt, it is impossible for anyone to adapt to that level.
After going to the battlefield, you will definitely die if you are stabbed in the heart or cut off your head. No matter how strong you are, can you still adapt to death?
However, why did this talent become so perverted after being handled by King Wei? It was so crazy to kill with Mo Dao!
"Hey, it seems that Qingque is still going to be recalled!" Li Shimin couldn't help but press his temple.
