Chapter 172: Discerning Talents
Zhang Sanlang was dumbfounded, he and his fifteen strong soldiers rushed straight into the Tubo soldiers with the dazzling Mo knife in their hands, but everywhere they went, a large area was scattered. It seems that those Tibetan soldiers are a little afraid of them, but in fact, Zhang Sanlang has been extremely nervous, holding his hands tightly and touching the hilt of the knife, and he can't wait for his hands to become one with the hilt.
"Kill ......"
Before a killing word could land, a Tubo soldier stood out from the crowd and stood opposite it.
"No, don't, I'm waiting, I want to vote for Doctor Qin, I don't want to, I don't want to be a coolie anymore!"
Although the Chinese language was very blunt, Zhang Sanlang could still understand it, and he could hardly believe his ears, and it took him a long time to react.
"You, do you say it again?
"Cast, Doctor Qin!
A few words are extremely heavy, Zhang Shi completely understands this time, they really want to vote for Doctor Qin. But why did they want to go to the watchtower where the bird doesn't? Or did they already know Doctor Qin's whereabouts before?
Although Zhang Sanlang was only a military commander, his mind turned extremely fast, and he turned the blade of the Mo knife from high to horizontal in front of his chest, and asked:
"How did you know that Doctor Qin was on the watchtower?"
The Tubo soldier didn't hear Zhang Sanlang's extremely heavy local accent clearly, so Zhang Sanlang had to slow down his speech and slowly repeat it. In this way, the Tubo soldier finally understood what Zhang Sanlang was asking.
"The villain knows a few Chinese characters and recognizes the flag, it is Dr. Qin'......"
Zhang Sanlang suddenly realized that although Qin and Jin did not have a flag, the banner of the cavalry was still very distinct, which was originally a symbol of identification and identity in Chang'an, and it was unexpectedly that the Tubo people almost took advantage of the loophole.
In order to confirm the purpose of the Tibetan people, Zhang Sanlang asked again:
"Why do you want to vote for Dr. Qin?"
"Doctor Qin is a hero of the Tang people, not only defeated the prime minister of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, but also defeated the general of the Eastern Dynasty Shang Xijie, the Tubo people have always admired heroes, and it is a supreme honor to be able to serve Doctor Qin!"
In a simple sentence, the Tubo descendant stumbled for a long time, but Zhang Sanlang still understood, but he was still skeptical.
"How do you look like you are like surrendering?
Zhang Sanlang pestled the Mo knife and arrow in his hand to the ground, he only felt that his throat was dry, and even his voice was dry and astringent.
"Since you have surrendered, you must have the appearance of surrendering, and now you tell them that everyone holds their heads in their hands, turns their backs to the watchtower, sits on the ground, and waits for incorporation!"
After several repeated communications, the Tubo pawn finally figured out what Zhang Sanlang meant, and actually did what he said, and let those chaotic pawns sit on the ground.
At the end, the Tibetan soldier returned:
"The villain has absolutely no intention of making trouble, he just wants to see Dr. Qin, and he doesn't want to be a coolie......
At this time, Zhang Sanlang's back was already soaked with sweat, and he rushed into the thousands of Tibetan soldiers with fifteen people, saying that he was not afraid that it would be false. But at this time, the bravery has been rewarded, and they did not fight to the death with the Tubo people, but there was a turning point.
However, Zhang Sanlang was still holding the shelf, and he couldn't show the slightest fear.
"Doctor Qin is not in the sentry tower now, Zhang is now sending someone to report, you tell them, they are all here to be restless, otherwise the Shenwu army will be crushed and crushed into powder!"
His words were by no means false words and intimidation, those Shenwu troops who were in charge of monitoring were closing on the left and right, sandwiching the Tubo soldiers in the middle, and thousands of cavalry were constantly wandering and wandering, as if waiting for an opportunity to move.
At this point, Zhang Sanlang did not dare to hesitate anymore, and ordered the fifteen strong soldiers to stick to the spot, and he galloped straight to the Chinese army camp.
When he saw Qin Jin, Zhang Sanlang was almost out of strength, and he was so nervous just now that he almost fell to the ground with his head.
Qin Jin was also surprised, he thought that Zhang Sanlang would definitely die, who would have thought that he would actually pick up a life.
After listening to Zhang Sanlang explain the ins and outs, he felt that this matter might not be fake, so he immediately made a decision.
"Well, as long as they don't make trouble, it's okay to co-opt. Zhang Sanlang, Qin will now appoint you as the envoy with full authority, transfer a thousand soldiers with you, and leave the camp immediately......"
"What?"
Zhang Sanlang felt that Qin Jin's words were even more incredible, more like a dream, he was just a small sentry tower chief, and he was really flattered that he was actually appointed as the all-powerful envoy.
Qin Jin's appointment of Zhang Sanlang can be regarded as a temporary idea, but it is by no means unreliable, Zhang Sanlang can be fearless among the thousands of troops, and he is also careful and careful, and he is the first to contact the Tubo soldiers who are in turmoil, and let him be the all-powerful envoy of the people. At the same time, Qin Jin also sent him a military official as a deputy envoy to help him deal with a series of unfamiliar regulations.
To put it bluntly, Qin Jin intuitively believed that Zhang Sanlang had initially gained their trust when he came into contact with those Tubo soldiers, and as the so-called two masters were not bothered, Zhang Sanlang continued to contact the Tubo soldiers, which could further appease their emotions.
Zhang Sanlang led the military officials to leave, but Jiang Fengxiang, the commander of the new army, was unimpressed with Qin Jin's disposition, so he persuaded:
"Did the doctor just let those rebellious Tibetan soldiers go so lightly, and if anyone else followed suit, what should they do?"
Qin Jin did not rush to deny Jiang Fengxiang's opinion, but looked at him with interest. He remembered this Jiang Fengxiang, when he was first in charge of the Shenwu Army, this person was still a gentleman in the army, and he was no different from the rogue on the street. Now, the gentleman of the year has grown into a general who can lead tens of thousands of troops, and if you go back to the past, it is hard to believe that everyone will come to this point today.
"Tell me what to do with them?"
"Naturally, those who should be killed, those who should be filled into the coolie camp should be filled into the coolie camp!"
Coolie camps are generally places where prisoners are housed, and once they are sent in, they have to face countless high-intensity labor, from repairing walls to digging ditches, and even plowing the land on unowned wasteland in the spring. But those who enter the coolie camp, even if they do not die of exhaustion, will inevitably die of illness due to overwork.
Therefore, Jiang Fengxiang's opinion is that none of these Tubo people should be left behind, and all of them should be punished, and those who were killed on the spot would be much happier than those who suffered in the coolie camp.
Qin Jin shook his head and said:
"This is not a light man, the incorporation of the Tubo soldiers is just to make an example for Zhuhu, as long as the attitude is respectful, not only can you join the Shenwu Army, but also can enter the court as an official, if you blindly reject, you will fall behind!"
In the eyes of Qin and Jin, a great era should be inclusive, how strong the Han Dynasty was, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he was dying selected to support the important ministers of the Xiongnu who surrendered to the Han Dynasty, Taizong also used the Turkic generals to defend the palace.
It is only when a nation becomes unconfident that it will be narrow-minded and blindly xenophobic. Qin Jin didn't want the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty to be broken by the Anshi Rebellion, and become a sensitive and pretended confident Celestial Empire.
The Qin and Jin dynasties had to incorporate not only the Tibetans, but also the Khitans, Uighurs, or Sogdians in the western part of the Western Regions.
"Let's go, let's see what's going on outside!"
Qin Jin didn't say many things, and the people below didn't understand, but out of prestige, once a decision was made, no one would object. Therefore, Jiang Fengxiang's suggestion ends here.
"The situation in Hexi has further deteriorated, since the loss of Dunhuang County, Zhangye has faced the rebel soldiers, Liang Zai is not the only material, Miao Jinqing is difficult to cook without rice. Although these thousands of Tibetan soldiers have been exhausted by torture, it only takes a month or two to recover the vitality of the dragon and tiger, and they are a tiger and wolf army when they are put into the battlefield. If you recruit a good family and train from scratch, you don't know how long it will take, at least half a year!"
While climbing the tower in the barracks, Qin Jin was talking to Jiang Fengxiang, his words heavy and long-hearted. Jiang Fengxiang nodded again and again, he did hear that the situation in Hexi had been repeated, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Dunhuang County is lost, the entire Anxi all* will inevitably fall into the Jedi of fighting alone, the supplies and troops in Hexi can not be transported, and the Tucai Shi and other departments have colluded with the various departments to take the opportunity to make chaos, once it is eroded, it is a large area of the entire northwest.
The tower of the army camp in the inner garden is relatively much more spacious, Qin Jin holds the arrow stack and looks out, and it can be vaguely seen that two or three miles away, those Tubo soldiers have quieted down, sitting on the ground one by one, as for the specific situation, it can only be guessed.
Jiang Fengxiang suddenly said:
"Doctor, the last general is willing to lead the troops to Hexi to help Miao Fujun quell the chaos!"
Qin Jin shook his head, Jiang Fengxiang's new army is not good, these are all good families who have not gone through battles, they have to travel long distances for the first time, and they have to travel a long distance to go through what bitter cold places, I am afraid that they will lose three or four percent on the road before they reach their destination.
Therefore, Qin Jin's plan was to center on a small number of elites of the Shenwu army, supplemented by a large number of Hu people, and the Hui, Turkic, Khitan, and Tubo people were all his choices. Now, the 3,000 Tubo soldiers brought back by Qingxuzi from Lingwu can be said to be at the right time.
It was precisely because of these many considerations that Qin Jin would put aside the official and private affairs in Chang'an City and come to this inner garden to inspect. Now I happened to encounter the soldiers who made a mess, as long as it was not at the last moment, I naturally didn't want to give up on them.
It's just that he found an unexpected accident that Zhang Sanlang didn't expect, and it can be regarded as an unexpected joy, Qin Jin observed that this person was calm, not chaotic in the face of danger, and very orderly in dealing with it, he was really a good talent. He planned to inspect it for a while, and if it was really useful, he would promote him to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses.
Zhang Sanlang sneezed fiercely, and when he returned to the middle of those Tibetan soldiers, he had lost the fear and nervousness he had at the beginning, because his current identity was no longer the little sentry chief.
