When Li Xuan received a report from the Army saying that it wanted to help the Safi Dynasty, the Mughal Dynasty, the Ottoman Dynasty and even the Tatars train some border patrol teams to reduce the pressure on the border defense forces, Li Xuan himself felt speechless.
.
It's okay for several other countries. Not to mention the border patrols, even the regular army of the Tang Empire helped them train a lot.
For example, in the Ottoman Empire, the Tang Empire has helped them train three regular armies, one of which is the Royal Guards. As for the other two, they are local armies belonging to local real power factions. These three armies are composed of big
The Tang people helped train, and the modern Ottoman army, equipped with the most advanced smoothbore guns and cannons, has begun to take shape against each other. According to the predictions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and military observers, it is estimated that in another year or two, they will
I guess I can start the fight first.
Coincidentally, the Safavid Dynasty also had two armies that the Tang Dynasty helped train. They had always been part of the royal army and one belonged to the rebels. These two armies had been fighting each other for more than a year.
The Mughal Dynasty had more branches, with four branches belonging to four different factions.
Not to mention these numerous indigenous kingdoms, there are more numerous kingdoms in India, and there are also many modern armies trained by the Tang Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness is considerable.
Therefore, in order to reduce the pressure on the border, it is a trivial matter such as letting the indigenous people seal the border to prohibit the indigenous people from entering, and training a border patrol team specifically for them.
But things are a little different here in the Golden Kingdom of Tatar.
Nominally, the Tang Empire and the Tatar Kingdom were still in a state of war. The two sides had never signed a peace or armistice agreement. Of course, there had been no declaration of war before.
But this is only in name. The Tang Empire was too lazy to continue its westward advance several years ago, especially after taking the lower reaches of the Don River. It was limited by the long supply line and, more importantly, the huge pressure of military expenditures.
At the same time, in order to maintain the balance of power on the European continent, the Tang Empire took the initiative to suspend the Western Expedition.
The Tang Empire has stopped attacking. Naturally, this war cannot be fought. We can’t expect the Tatar Kingdom to take the initiative to attack. I wish the Tang Empire wouldn’t attack them, otherwise they wouldn’t send envoys here every year to ask for peace.
.
You must know that in order to reach a peace agreement with the Tang Empire, the conditions offered by the Golden Kingdom of Tatar were extremely generous.
He started by saying that the Tatar Jin Kingdom was willing to respect the Tang Dynasty, and asked the Tang Dynasty to be canonized as king, and from now on it would regard itself as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
The second step is to cede a large area of Eastern Europe to the Tang Empire. The Ukrainian region and even the Polish region, Finland, Moscow region, etc. can all be given to the Tang Empire. It has even been said that apart from these accidents, the Romanian region under the control of the Tatars,
It is also available in some parts of Austria.
According to what the Tatars meant, as long as the Tang Empire really accepted them, even if Vienna and all the areas east of Berlin were given to the Tang, that would be fine.
As for the subsequent land of the Tatars, it was naturally in Western Europe.
Once the Tatars and the Tang Dynasty made peace, the Tatars would be able to march westward in a matter of minutes and occupy France, Spain, the Italian Peninsula and other areas.
However, the Tang Empire rejected their peace talks!
As for the reason?
If the Tang Empire wanted these lands, they would take them themselves. Do the Tatars still dare not to give them to them?
Even if the Tatars didn't give it to them, the Tang Empire could just grab it.
But the problem is that the Tang Empire is still counting on kingdoms such as the Tatar Kingdom and Spain to continue fighting. Europe must become the third Fuso!
As for the second fuso, it is naturally India!
In India, for the sake of conservatism, there are more than a hundred kingdoms, tribes or warlords fighting in the melee, and the fighting is very lively.
Until Europe becomes the third Fuso, the Tang Empire will not accept large tracts of European territory.
Therefore, the Tang Empire rejected the Tatar Jin Kingdom's request for peace talks. At the same time, it did not send troops to continue fighting the Tatars, but maintained the status quo.
To put it bluntly, I don’t care about you anymore, just do whatever you like!
The Tang Empire's attitude towards the Tatar Kingdom has always been very contradictory. Sometimes it would send troops to fight and seize territory, and sometimes it would support the Tatars.
This is the case now. The army saw that it was difficult for the Tatar Kingdom to block the border line, so it proposed to give them a batch of smoothbore guns and even other materials to help them build isolation belts and set up blockades.
The Army took the initiative to say so, and the diplomatic officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs even had no objections.
In front-line areas such as the lower reaches of the Don River, the Army of the Tang Dynasty and the Army of the Golden Kingdom of Tatar were in confrontation. However, on the other side, the Golden Kingdom of Tatar sent people over for training. Officers from the Datang Army trained them how to form an army.
An excellent and effective border patrol team to prevent people from smuggling into Datang...
The Tang Empire did a lot of ridiculous things, and this can only be considered one of them, there are even more nonsense.
In April of the 43rd year of Xuanping, the Tang Empire officially announced in the Tang Dynasty newspaper that it had established Antarctica.
This is not an ordinary place name, but an administrative region...
The Tang Dynasty classified the entire continent of Antarctica as its own territory, and formally established the Antarctic State Government. Although there was no permanent population in Antarctica at this time, even the state government was established in the Argentinian Fire in South America.
On Tierra del Fuego, the entire yamen is even part-time for the yamen officials of Tierra del Fuego...
However, this did not prevent the Tang Empire from adding another overseas state.
Not to mention Antarctica, some Tang officials were thinking of setting up a lunar province some time ago...
Those officials said that the whole world is not the royal land, and the moon naturally belongs to the territory of the Holy Emperor and the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
It's not just the Lunar Province, they also talk about setting up a Mars Province, a Mercury Province, etc. In short, all the planets in the solar system will have administrative regions.
After Li Xuan found out about this, he felt very speechless!
It was good in the past that these ministers only expanded the map of the earth, but now it is good that they have expanded the scope to the entire solar system.
It’s so fun to play, why don’t you just bring all the planets in the entire galaxy?
Not to mention, some officials really think so...
Li Xuan didn't say anything about establishing an Antarctic government office and extending the provincial boundaries of Northeastern Province to the North Pole, but the fact of establishing a Lunar Province and a Mars Province was too nonsense and he rejected it outright.
Of course, in order to take care of the mood of his ministers and avoid dampening their enthusiasm, Li Xuan was more euphemistic, saying that the moon, Mars and other planets or satellites in the solar system have belonged to the territory of the Tang Dynasty since ancient times, but now our Datang Empire
I'm quite busy, and I can't find time to rule these places for a while, so I'll ignore it for now. It won't be too late to set up a lunar province when I can go to the moon...
