Zhang Huaiding didn't think of this big horse camp grass beach for a while.

But after thinking about it, he can be sure that this bargaining chip will definitely impress the imperial court.

Under the management of the Uighurs in Ganzhou for more than 20 years, the Damaying Grassland has already become the largest war horse ranch in Hexi.

At present, it can provide 40,000 or 50,000 war horses every year, and 80% of the war horses used by the Uighur cavalry in Ganzhou come from here.

Of course, such a good pasture, the Uighurs of Ganzhou also paid a lot of price to obtain.

The previous owners of the Damaying Grassland were the Tibetans, and for this pasture, the Ganzhou Uighurs and the Tibetans launched a campaign for nearly ten years before they completely occupied the pasture.

"It's a good idea. With the temptation of the grass beach in the big horse camp, the imperial court will definitely be moved.

However, since the United Imperial Court mobilized troops against the Uighurs in Ganzhou, it was necessary to take a long-term view and first send people to persuade the Imperial Court. Taking advantage of this time, it is necessary for us to buy weapons again from the imperial court to make our army stronger. ”

Just buy armor, that thing is too expensive, leather armor is fine, and with his five thousand fine riders, too many can't be raised, and it's not easy to control.

However, he was very envious of the weapons of the imperial court, such as horse lances, spears, and horizontal knives, especially horse lances, which were the best weapons for cavalry duels.

And Li Mingzhen, who was resolutely opposed before, softened his attitude a lot after Zhang Huaiding decided to unite with the imperial court.

。。。。。。

"What? The Guiyi army is going to war with the Ganzhou Uighurs? ”

Since Liu Kui arrived in Liangzhou, he has been busy with the formation of the Liangzhou Governor's Office.

Including the establishment of military towns, including the establishment of two guards in the north of Liangzhou, namely in the hometown of Du Lunbu in Baiting and in the northwest of Liangzhou 100 miles in Jinchuan.

Among them, 2,500 infantry cavalry were captured and garrisoned in Baiting, and 1,200 infantry cavalry were garrisoned in Jinchuan.

These two garrisons served as a barrier to the northern part of Liangzhou, although the threat from Liangzhou came from the Dangxiang tribes in the east, the Tibetan tribes in the southwest, and the Uighurs in the west.

However, there are still a large number of Wenmo tribes in the north of Liangzhou, and the existence of these two guarding cities is to deter these Wenmo tribes.

"Yes, Governor. Moreover, Zhang Huaiding, the envoy of the Guiyi Army, meant that he hoped that the imperial court would also send troops, and the two sides would jointly attack the Uighurs in Ganzhou on both sides. Shi Wenggao, the governor of Liangzhou, said.

"And let the imperial court send troops?" Liu Kui was a little surprised.

"Yes, Dudu, the Guiyi Army means that we will attack the grass beach of the Damaying!" Sima Zhang Hongxin of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion said.

"Big Horse Camp Grass Beach?" Looking at Zhang Hongxin's impatient expression, Liu Kui was a little curious, "Zhang Sima thinks he can send troops?" ”

Zhang Hongxin nodded, "The governor may not know the situation in Hexi when he first came to Liangzhou, this Daying grass beach is the largest pasture in Hexi, and it can provide about 40,000 to 50,000 war horses every year.

The Uighurs in Ganzhou themselves did not need so many war horses, and more of the war horses produced each year were supplied to the various forces in the entire Hexi region, and nearly half of the war horses in Hexi came from here.

If the Guiyi army wanted to attack the Uighurs in Ganzhou on a large scale, the imperial court could send troops to camp in the grass beach, and even if it could not occupy it, it could still rob the war horses here.

Without the loss of the war horses here, it will be difficult for the Damaying grass beach to recover its previous size for several years, which is also a great weakening for the Ganzhou Uighurs. However, whether to send troops or not, you still need the consent of the Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

The Governorate had a certain degree of autonomy, but the scale of the Uighur military dispatch to Ganzhou was certainly not small, and the consent of the Metropolitan Protectorate was certainly required.

Liu Kui was also a little moved, "Report this matter to the Dadu Protectorate, but the Governor of Pontus thinks that this matter may have the consent of the imperial court." ”

The reason why Liu Kui said this was because the strength of the Ganzhou Uighurs was not weak, and with the current strength of the Liangzhou Governor's Office, it was estimated that it was a little weak.

The Liangzhou Governor's Mansion has just been established, and there is still a shortage of thousands of soldiers in the Right Shence Army, not to mention the lack of troops in the Governor's Mansion itself.

Although the Rokuya Ministry has submitted to the table, the imperial court cannot order the Rokuya Ministry, which is also an unstable factor.

"Governor, there's something troublesome. At present, the shortage of the Youshence army and the garrisons in various places is too large, and there is a total gap of tens of thousands of people, and most of the young and strong Han families in Liangzhou were taken away by Zhang Huaiding, and they continued to recruit from the local Han families, I am afraid that they will not meet the standards of the Youshence army. Zhang Hongxin thought of something and said.

The treatment of the forbidden army is good, and the standard is naturally higher than that of the local garrison.

The 15,000 people that Zhang Huaiding took away before can be said to be the most suitable soldiers in Liangzhou, but they were taken away by Zhang Huaiding.

"Then recruit from the nomadic tribes of the Tibetans, Wenmo, Uighurs, and Sogdians in Liangzhou, and the Pontus will not believe that the men of those tribes are not moved."

。。。。。。

"The Liangzhou Governor's Mansion has recruited soldiers, men, between the ages of 17 and 30, with no major illnesses. Regardless of ethnicity, Han Erlang, Tubo, Wenmo, Uighur, Sogdian, Dangxiang, and Qiang can all sign up. ”

"Ordinary border town soldiers, the term of service is six years, two yuan and one stone of rice; Soldiers of the forbidden army, with a service period of four years, four pieces of money, two stones of rice, and two horses of silk. ”

"If it's a tribal man, the family can live in the city."

For a while, the entire counties of Liangzhou and the surrounding tribes knew that the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion was recruiting soldiers, and the treatment was not ordinarily good.

You must know that ordinary soldiers of the forbidden army are two yuan and two stone rice, and this rice is divided into rice, millet or wheat according to the different places of station.

However, the Right Shence Army and the Right Tiance Army are stationed in the border areas, and there is a so-called border subsidy, which was proposed by Li Ye.

After all, stationed in the border area, the conditions are difficult, and the natural treatment must be raised, otherwise who wants to be a soldier. As an elite, the forbidden army bears greater responsibility, acts as the main force in the war, is the most dangerous, and the natural treatment is better than that of ordinary border town soldiers.

Don't look at the soldiers of the forbidden army stationed at the border gates, the money is twice as much as the other soldiers, but the price of a stone of rice is several yuan. Therefore, the food and salary of the Right Tiance Army stationed in Lanzhou and other places is actually two more than that of the Zuo Tiance Army stationed in Chang'an, and it is actually the price of one stone of rice.

However, this treatment is very attractive to many tribes, especially those of small tribes.

Small tribes are not as safe as large tribes, and small tribes are very insecure, and they may be attacked by other tribes the next day, and then die.

Now that the Tang army is powerful in Liangzhou, except for the largest Liugu Division, the other tribes are not large, and the most is only a few thousand soldiers, but with the lessons of the Du Lunbu, no one dares to start a war with other tribes indiscriminately.

Under such circumstances, some warriors of small tribes preferred to enter the cities of the Tang people to live and join the Tang army.

This is actually a trick to draw salaries, as the tribal warriors are recruited by the Tang Army, the strength of many small tribes will be weakened in the eyes. In order not to be annexed by other tribes, they found a way to integrate into the life of the Tang people and seek the protection of the Tang army.

Liu Kui's doing this not only allowed the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion to have a lot of good cavalry soldiers, but also weakened the strength of these tribes, and also made Liangzhou more stable.

It's a triple win! I want to talk about "Rebirth of Tang Zhongxing" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
