Chapter 2 [The Tang Dynasty's military power is divided into three parts]

Everyone in the world knows that the military power of the Tang Dynasty today is in the hands of three people!

In other words, the power structure is also divided into three parts!

……

Datang, Luoyang.

There is a long street in the city, the name is Tianshu Street, there is a house at the head of the street, and the house of the king of Qin is given.

Another attached plaque is hung, and the book is written on the General's Mansion.

This is the residence of Li Shimin, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty.

It is the center of control of one-third of the world's military power.

On a cold winter day, the north wind was blowing, but the main hall of Tiance Mansion was as warm as spring, because more than a dozen huge braziers were burning in the hall.

Not only is it not cold, but it is also very hot.

Waves of heat gushed from the brazier, crackling and burning from time to time.

In addition to the brazier heat wave in the hall, there are bursts of rich meat fragrance.

Today, Li Shimin is eating meat and drinking wine with his ministers.

There are Wenchen!

There are generals!

Wenchen lowered his head and talked softly, and the military general raised his glass to drink, just when he was drunk, he suddenly saw a person raise his head and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Qin, it's time to do it......"

His Royal Highness King Qin, it's time to do it!

In just eight words, the hall suddenly fell and could be heard.

Whether they were ministers or military generals, they all looked at Li Shimin, who was at the top.

In their eyes, there is excitement, eagerness, ambition, and apprehension.

Just now, the ministers bowed their heads and talked lightly, and the generals raised their glasses and drank pretendly, and they had gathered in the Tiance Mansion many times in the past few days, just to instigate Li Shimin to make a final decision.

What was decided?

Fight for the power of another army of the Tang Dynasty.

When!

A crisp sound.

But seeing that Li Shimin's wrist was released, he gently put the dagger in his hand on the case.

And then.

Poof!

This time it was a muffled sound.

But Li Shimin's other wrist was also put down, and a freshly roasted leg of lamb was also placed on the table.

The dagger that cut the meat and the roasted leg of lamb were put down at the same time, which meant that I didn't plan to continue eating!

The hearts of everyone under his command were slightly cold.

They vaguely felt that today's persuasion would be in vain.

Really!

I saw Li Shimin's face was cold, but a pair of tiger eyes looked out of the hall, as if sad, and as if reluctant, after a long time, thousands of words converged into one sentence, as if muttering: "That's my sister's military power." ”

That's my sister's military power.

Just this sentence clearly reveals a certain entanglement and sentimentality.

Everyone under his command was speechless for a while.

Only one person in the palace stood up, arched his hand and said softly: "Your Highness, Princess Pingyang is no longer here, if Your Highness is reluctant to do it, the prince's side will also do it, since this is the case, why should Your Highness ......?"

It's a pity that this person didn't finish his words, and he suddenly heard Li Shimin's loud shout.

But seeing Li Shimin get up suddenly, he said angrily: "Since this month, how many times have you persecuted this king?" In your eyes, is there only the women's army under Pingyang? How could you have thought that it was the life's work of this king's sister ......? ”

There was another bang, but it was Li Shimin who kicked over the case in anger.

Then I saw that the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty took a deep breath, suddenly bowed his hand to everyone, and barely suppressed his anger and said: "Today, the wind is howling like crying, this king is unwell, I will not accompany you to drink, don't worry about the rudeness." ”

With a long sigh, he glanced deeply at someone in the hall, turned around with a wave of his sleeves, and strode towards the back of the hall.

In the blink of an eye, the figure was far away.

Only a group of people under his command looked at each other.

After a long time, I saw that the person who had persuaded him just now spoke out helplessly, and said regretfully: "Your Highness is still soft-hearted, and it is difficult to make up your mind." ”

The other person looked in the direction of the back of the palace and said in a low voice: "Princess Pingyang has died, but the military power of the Tang Dynasty is still divided into three places, if His Royal Highness does not fight, others will inevitably fight." If I fall into the Prince's Mansion, my Tiance Mansion will have a hard time. ”

Everyone was silent.

Now it has been six years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the world has not yet been cleared, but the general trend has been trending, looking at the entire Central Plains, the Li dynasty no longer has an opponent who is neck and neck, but now all that remains is to continue to sweep the world, and eventually it will inevitably be the pattern of dominating the world.

Datang is already the most powerful force today.

However, this power is divided into three.

The military power of the Tang Dynasty was divided into three parts.

The first military power, in the hands of Emperor Li Yuan, was stationed in Chang'an and Guanzhong, with a total of 140,000 soldiers and horses, called the Gyeonggi Yu Army, and its combat power was extremely elite.

This army is the emperor's own army, and it is said that only the emperor Li Yuan can be in charge, but everyone already knows that Li Yuan intends to slowly hand over this military power to the prince.

The Prince's Mansion already occupies the inheritance of righteousness, if they have the military power of the emperor's army again......

The second military power is the famous women's army of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the name is called the Women's Army, the soldiers under his command are not delicate little ladies, on the contrary, they are all brave men who have experienced a hundred battles.

When the Sui Dynasty was in turmoil, the Li family raised troops, originally just for self-protection, and did not have too strong ambitions, but no one expected that a certain woman of the Li family would be so able to fight......

Pingyang princess Li Xiuning almost started from scratch, and in just one year, she raised 50,000 troops, so as to sweep the entire northern part of the Central Plains, and the troops under her command became stronger and stronger!

At the beginning, there were only 50,000 people, but as the war progressed, more and more battles were fought, and when Li Yuan reluctantly captured Chang'an, he was stunned to find that his daughter had helped him conquer most of the Central Plains.

The women's army under Li Xiuning has a strength of 200,000 people.

Half of the Li family's world is almost in the hands of the Women's Army.

This is Datang's second military power.

……

As for the third army, it was in the hands of Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Two years ago, in the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, as the governor of the right leading army, led the army to capture Luoyang and defeated the combined army of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

The military achievements are extremely high, and the military power is also great.

However, because Li Shimin was born as the second son, there was no possibility of inheriting the throne in this life, so Tang Gaozu ordered him to take charge of the civil and military power of the entire eastern Tang Dynasty, and allowed him to establish his own princely shogunate in Luoyang.

Tiance House.

It is allowed to purchase its own government office.

Taxes are collected in a jurisdictional manner.

30,000 for food.

Take the right to gather troops.

It is a unique power above all princes.

What is 'allowing self-procured government offices'?

It is to allow Li Shimin to recruit his own subordinate officials.

There is no need to go through the approval of the court, and there is no need to go through the emperor's permission, as long as Li Shimin feels that a certain talent is useful, then he can be recruited into the Tiance Mansion as an official.

What is 'tax collection in the right place'?

Again, this is an appalling privilege.

To put it bluntly, Li Shimin can collect taxes privately in the places he governs, and the taxes collected can be completely discretionary to the soldiers and civilians under his command.

In addition, you can also eat 30,000 yip.

What is Shiyi, Shiyi is that the people use their own output to support Li Shimin. And the so-called 30,000 means that the population of the food town is 30,000.

How many people are in 30,000 households?

According to the practice of the Great Sui and Tang dynasties, there were about 5 to 7 people in a Han family in the Central Plains, and only adult men were counted, and the old and weak children were not counted.

Roughly calculated, Li Shimin's food town has at least 150,000 people.

The output of 150,000 people's acres of land is completely attributed to Li Shimin's sole eating, looking at the entire historical dynasty, which has far exceeded the specifications that the prince should have.

Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion has 300,000 troops under his command, and because he controls Luoyang and other places in the Central Plains, it will only grow stronger and stronger if it develops steadily.

The above is the pattern of the three points of Datang's troops.

Emperor Li Yuan's Gyeonggi Yu Army, with a total strength of about 140,000, controlled Chang'an and Guanzhong, but its strength could only be regarded as the third.

The women's army of Pingyang princess Li Xiuning, with a total strength of about 300,000, are all experienced in a hundred battles, which can be called sweeping the world.

Because he has cavalry under his command, he is responsible for garrisoning the northern border, such as Shanxi, Li's hometown, Hebei, which has just been conquered, and even Shandong east of Caishan, and Yanmen north of Qinling......

From ancient times to the present, those who dare to garrison the border are the fiercest.

The number of wrongs is only 200,000, and Li Xiuning's women's army can almost be regarded as the first in the world.

Datang's troops are divided into three points.

Li Yuan's imperial army was only ranked third.

Li Xiuning's women's army controls the northern part of the Central Plains, and its combat strength can rank second.

In fact, it should be ranked first, it was originally the real first, but Li Xiuning has been close to Li Shimin's brother since she was a child, and she actually gave her brother one of the fiercest cavalry under her command, which is almost a self-cutting force, and she used her strength to boost Li Shimin's take-off.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion can rank first, not only capturing Luoyang, which is known as the center of the north, but also controlling the most fertile plain in the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone in the world knows that it is precisely because of the cavalry that Li Xiuning gave to Li Shimin that Li Shimin was able to establish the famous Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

Li Xiuning is really a strange woman at the god of war level who moves the world.

It's a pity that she died.

……

But it was said that Li Shimin left the main hall of Tiance Mansion angrily, and went straight to the back house angrily, and suddenly saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him, Li Shimin stopped and sighed.

At this time, Li Shimin was only twenty-five years old, and he did not have the ruthlessness and coldness of the emperor's thoughts, he just felt sad and painful in his heart, smiled bitterly at the pretty woman, and stepped forward and said: "Guanyin, why is the cold wind blowing here?" ”

Saying that, he sighed, reached out to hold the beauty's wrist, and said again: "It's so cold, you should stay in the house." ”

How do you know that the beauty smiled at him gently, and said softly: "The concubine is punishing herself, and I apologize to you on behalf of my brother." ”

Li Shimin's face froze.

But seeing that the beauty gently rested her head in his arms, she said softly: "The concubine knows that my brother has been instigating you, and he is looking forward to you competing for the military power of the Women's Army, so as to further stabilize the power and strength of the Tiance Mansion......"

After a pause, he sighed and said: "But my brother doesn't know the sadness and pain in your heart, Your Highness, Yan Zhao Niangzi Army, that is the hard work of Sister Xiuning, maybe others will only think about taking the soldiers and horses left by Sister Xiuning, but Your Highness, you are suffering the pain of losing your sister sibling." They don't understand that Xiuning is the girl you brought up since childhood......"

Li Xiuning grew up with Li Shimin since he was a child.

said that it is the love of brother and sister, but it is actually no different from father and daughter.

I only listened to Guanyin's gentle and gentle words: "They don't understand, the more they encourage you, the more you can't help but recall your sister's voice and smile, they have been persuading every day for the past month, and it will make you miserable every day for the past month." ”

Li Shimin silently looked up at the sky.

Between the north wind whistling, Guanyin spoke softly again, and sighed: "My brother instigated you because he is the strategist of the Tiance Mansion of King Qin, and in his position, he will seek his government, but his instigation is almost equivalent to persecution, so that you fall into the grief and sadness of missing your sister, because of this, the concubine body will blow the cold wind here every day, and the concubine body uses this way of punishing herself, so as to apologize to you on behalf of your brother, because they don't understand your sadness, Xiuning is the sister you brought up since childhood......"

Li Shimin let out a long sigh.

He gently hugged his wife in his arms.

The wife rested the head of the azine gently on his chest.

The husband and wife stood in the cold wind, but their eyes couldn't help but look north.

After a long time, the beauty spoke softly again and said softly: "Your Highness, Sister Xiuning has been dead for a month. Since seeing her desperate suicide note that day, the concubine suddenly thought it was yesterday. ”

Desperate!

Note!

It means to seek death and kill oneself and leave the world.

Li Shimin's tiger eyes were moist, and the blurred tears seemed to show a figure, it was a heroic girl, who seemed to be smiling sweetly at her brother.

The north wind is howling more and more.

Li Shimin patted his wife on the shoulder and said softly: "Go back to the house, it's cold." ”

Saying that, he slowly raised his feet, and his mood seemed to be very depressed.

At this moment, Guanyin suddenly spoke again, as if she had hesitation and some kind of expectation, and said softly: "Your Highness, did you say that Sister Xiuning will really pass away?" Could it be, Shang Ren? ”

Could it be, Shang Ren, what do you mean by that? This means that man is not dead.

Li Shimin's tiger body shook suddenly.

He suddenly felt as if he had drilled a bull's horn tip that he shouldn't have drilled before.

Because his sister-in-law has a strong personality since she was a child, he never thought that his sister did not seek death after reading the suicide note.

Sister, will she still be in the world?

Li Shimin suddenly became excited!

How good would it be if Xiuning was still alive......
