Chapter Forty-Eight: It Must Be Quiet

In terms of geographical location, Hexi is better than Longyou.

There is no doubt about this, because there is a Liangzhou in Hexi, and there is a Guzang.

As the center of the convergence of Eastern and Western cultures, Liangzhou Guzang is the third economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty.

But in addition, all sides of Longyou are better than Hexi on all sides.

Hexi governs seven prefectures, including Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, Yizhou, and Xizhou.

Although Longyou does not have the existence comparable to Liangzhou Guzang, he governs the twelve states of Shan, Qin, He, Wei, Lan, Lin, Wu, Tao, Min, Kuo, Stack, and Tang, plus the land of Jiuqu recovered by Pei Min, nearly thirteen states.

Among them, the four prefectures of Shan, Lan, Wei and Kuo, as the economic belt of the Silk Road, are also rare rich places.

There is also Taozhou, Pei Min was the earliest Taozhou thorn history, under his governance, Taozhou inkstone, Taozhou stone, Taozhou dairy products, best-selling all over Guanzhong......

Pei Min also opened the Longshan Ancient Road and the Wusheling Mountain Road, which drove the economic ...... of the entire Longyou

Of the 12 states, half of them are rich states, and only the overlapping and tangtang are relatively poor, and when it comes to the overall comprehensive economy, Longyou is undoubtedly better than Hexi.

The main purpose of the Longyou Army is to prevent Tibet, which had already scared Pei Min four years ago.

Now that Tang has reopened the Tang and Tibetan trade routes, before the two countries, they coexisted peacefully, and there was almost no war at all.

On the other hand, horse thieves are rampant in Hexi, especially inside and outside Yumen Pass, and the scourge of horse thieves is endless year after year.

There are steppe tribes in the west, there are turkish in the northwest, and the west is connected to the Western Regions, and the situation is complicated, and there may be war when it comes.

Talking about the number of troops on both sides, Longyou Jiedu commanded the armies of Lintao, Heyuan, Jishi, Momen, Baishui, Anren, and Zhenwu, with a total of 75,000 troops.

Because of Pei Min's face, the Longyou Army is second only to the Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven, and Pei Min's years of training, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and they are recognized as strong soldiers.

This time, the Turkic army was completely annihilated, relying on 20,000 Longyou soldiers and horses to be reduced to zero, directly crossing the desert and attacking Baiting Sea.

It shows the extraordinary military quality of the Longyou Army.

The Hexi Army commanded the Chishui Army, the Dadou Army, the Jiankang Army, the Ningkou Army, the Yumen Army, etc., and managed 73,000 soldiers, not only the number of soldiers was less than 2,000, but the quality of the soldiers could not be calculated by reason at all.

Even the Liangzhou Army commanded by Xue Ne could not be compared with Pei Min's Longyou Army, let alone the soldiers of Gan, Su, Gua, Sha and other states.

No matter from what point of view, the Hexi Jiedu is far from being comparable with the Longyou Jiedu Envoy.

The difference between fat meat and roasted whole lamb is not an exaggeration at all.

In the face of this ambitious position of Hexi Jiedu, there are many people who are excited, but only part of them really intend to fight.

The main reason is that he is not confident in his own ability, and if he is in a place where war is prone to occur, he may lose his official position and die if he is not careful.

The high weight of the position, the same risk is greater.

And Longyou has no problem in this regard, Longyou soldiers are strong and strong, and there are no foreign enemies......

Even if he is a fool, as long as he keeps to himself, does not toss blindly like Yang Guang, and tosses the precious things left by Pei Min into a mess, there will be no problems.

Who wouldn't want to be such a comfortable feudal official?

The hearts of the Manchu Dynasty are bright, no matter who they are, as long as they have the slightest opportunity, they want to give it a try.

All kinds of gangs and factions, all kinds of relationships, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fought for this.

Wang Maozhong, who had been silent for a long time, also jumped out to fight, he couldn't compete with Pei Min at the beginning, but this time he was full of confidence in the face of Pei Min's stupidity.

Except for Pei Min, who is more favored in the court than him now?

Wang Maozhong has tossed a lot of forces in the military department over the years, and it is inevitable to win the position of the envoy of Longyoujiedu.

On this day, Li Longji sat down in the imperial seat and looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with a bit of humor.

With his wisdom, it can almost be concluded that the court is about to become a bustling city, and the interests of all parties are arguing endlessly.

Sure enough, regarding the attribution of the envoy of the Longyou Jiedu, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty argued again.

After several days of discussion, the vast majority of candidates were brushed down.

Now the four people with the highest voice are Zhang Jingzhong, Sun Renxian, Wang Hui, and Wang Maozhong......

Zhang Jingzhong is a poet, and unlike Yang Jingshu's paper talk, he has real talent and real learning. In the third year of Zhongzong Shenlong, Zhang Jingzhong served as a sub-military officer under the command of the general manager of the Shuofang Army. In the seventh year of Xuanzong's Kaiyuan, he worshiped the Pinglu Festival.

During his tenure, he was conscientious and enterprising, but it was more than enough to keep the success.

After working in the position of the Pinglu Jiedu envoy for many years, he naturally wants to climb up.

Sun Renxian is the governor of Songzhou, shrewd and capable, with an excellent official reputation, and outstanding achievements in local politics. Coinciding with its meeting, mobilizing relations, the intention is to go further.

Wang Hui is even more amazing, he is a real talent, born in the Ming Dynasty, from the Qingyuan County Lieutenant, step by step to the palace to serve the imperial history, Weinan County Order, until the governor of Guizhou, the governor of Jingzhou, the history of the governor of Jingzhou, the resume is very beautiful. Moreover, he has excellent connections in the officialdom of the DPRK and China, and he has relatives and friends among the six ministries, and many of them speak for him.

As for Wang Maozhong, it goes without saying.

Although he is not very good, he is deeply favored by the emperor, and he covers the sky with one hand in the forbidden army. Half of the twelve generals who were waiting to die were his fox friends and dogs.

This group of fox friends and dog friends, together, is also a big force.

In response to the four of them, many ministers who have already stood in positions have begun to support the goals they support.

Xu Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Pinglu Jiedu makes Zhang Jingzhong, loyal and righteous, has the demeanor of a big tree general, and the right place of Longlong, with stability as the top, Zhang Jiedu makes it the most suitable." ”

As soon as his voice fell, someone immediately answered.

"Xu Shangshu's words are wrong!"

Lu Bin, the waiter of the Ministry of War, has always been at odds with Xu Tao, and ten years ago they were still friends who talked about everything, but because of the competition for the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, they became enemies. They have been fighting openly and secretly with each other for many years, and they have not stopped for a moment.

Lu Bin originally accepted Zhang Jingzhong's gift, and he also supported Zhang Jingzhong. But knowing that Xu Tao also supported Zhang Jingzhong, he directly changed his goal and supported his friend Wang Hui.

"Under the training of Pei Guogong, the Longyou Army has become the strongest force in my Datang. Such a soldier is only used to hold on, and it is really condescending. Shi Wanghui, the governor of Jingzhou, has both wisdom and bravery, and can attack and defend. It is the best choice to protect the safety of Longyou, and to assist Pei Guogong to deter the land of the west. ”

"No, no!"

Wang Maozhong's father-in-law, Ge Fushun, once again stood up and spoke for his in-laws: "The Longyou Army is the elite of the world, a group of fierce soldiers, how can ordinary people be subdued? Whether it is Zhang Jiedu's envoy or Wang Changshi, it can't be. Mao Zhong, the prince of Huoguo, is skilled in bows and horses, and is the best candidate......"

The bow horse is skillful, and Wang Maozhong is only this one strength.

You say a word to me, just when the civil and military are arguing.

Li Longji stretched his waist and said faintly: "After thinking about it, Longyou Jiedu still has to be quiet and far away, and this matter is decided......
