Chapter 70: Recruitment

At this time, Tubo, Zanpu Songtsen Gampo had not yet arrived, completely digesting the expanded territory, and the remnants of the royal family of the Subi State were still struggling to the death, trying to restore the country.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty sent by Li Zhonghua went through great hardships to find the surviving royal families of the Subi Kingdom, and expressed their intention to fund their restoration of the country.

Tang Pang Dele is a branch of the royal family of the Subi country, after the subi country was destroyed by the Tubo, he has been leading the tribes loyal to the subi royal family, like a lost dog, hiding from the pursuit of the Tubo Zampu Songtsen Gampo.

Once a vast area, the co-owner of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau now has no place to stay, and Tang Pengdele's heart is thinking about recovering the country all the time.

However, all the wealth of the once rich Subi royal family has become the Tubo State.

Without huge wealth, there will be no sophisticated weapons, and no one will be willing to die for you.

As early as the beginning of the destruction of the Subi Kingdom, he had sent an envoy to Datang for help, but unfortunately, Tuyuhun was provoking Datang at that time.

In addition, the Subi country is located on the plateau, and a team sent by the Tang Dynasty has just entered the plateau, but because of altitude sickness, they retreated, and regarded the land of Tubo as a cursed land.

Now that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty has finally arrived, and expressed his willingness to unconditionally assist them in recovering the country, Tang Pengdele, who is the queen of Subi, how can he not be happy!

The same thing is happening in other Tibetan-occupied lands.

Since the pro-government of Tubo Zampu Songtsen Gampo, there have been many small countries that have been defeated and occupied by him, such as the big and small Yangtong.

Moreover, after being occupied by the Tibetans, the Tibetans in the occupied places, wantonly exploited, pumped heavy taxes, forcibly conscripted Ding to serve in the military, and served as cannon fodder in the expansion, which caused the dissatisfaction of many tribes.

The envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty not only gave them economic assistance, but also promised to help them with food, but also relieved their worries, promising that the Songzhou Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty would allow them to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty at any time and would shelter them.

What Li Zhonghua lacked now was time, and providing economic assistance to the oppressed tribes in Tibet was not limited to monetary assistance.

He would not provide them with too much cash, but at a low price, he provided them with new Chinese wine, soap, flower water and other items, so that they could sell them in Tibet for profit.

At the same time as Li Zhonghua built the new city, he also began to produce distilled spirits, soaps, and toilet water, so he needed to recruit a lot of people and pay a lot of wages.

However, most of the Qiang tribes are nomadic people, who live by grazing cattle and sheep all day long, and their food is mainly beef and mutton.

But no matter what they make a living, they don't have much concept of money, so Li Zhonghua recruits a lot of people to work, and not many people respond.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Zhonghua simply suspended the construction of the new city, and built a street on the outskirts of the new city, with shops on both sides of the street, selling not only grain, but also all kinds of goods.

In this way, the dazzling array of goods has attracted many tribesmen, who want to exchange cattle and sheep for what they want.

However, all the shops on the whole street do not accept bartering, if they want to eat beef and mutton, everyone will use money to buy it, and they want to buy what is in the store, they can only buy it with money.

What to do if you don't have money? It's easy to do! You can go to help build a new city, or you can go to work in a workshop.

As a result, many people began to be willing to build new towns and work in workshops.

Not only the people of the Tuoba tribe in Yazhou, but after the news spread, many people from the Qiang tribe in nearby Guanzhou also came over and hoped to work in the workshop.

Li Zhonghua also did not forget that if he wanted to prevent the Tubo army from pressing down next year, it would be absolutely impossible to hold the current 10,000 Songzhou troops, and the 25 prefectures would definitely fall into the hands of the Tubo people.

Li Zhonghua convened twenty-five assassins from the state of detention and gathered in Yazhou to discuss the matter.

After inspecting for a while, Li Zhonghua is no stranger to the history of the assassins in various states, and everyone is in awe of Datang, so he is very polite to Li Zhonghua.

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that Li Zhonghua, the envoy of the Songzhou Festival, represents the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

As a result of Li Zhonghua's efforts to go deep into the tribes, although there were no major contradictions between the tribes on the surface, they were not in harmony with each other, and fights between them often occurred.

"You are all under the title of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court, managing your respective tribal territories, and now Tubo is becoming stronger and stronger, eliminating many large and small countries, and the sphere of influence has expanded to our doorstep.

And what are you in now? It's just a plate of loose sand, it looks like a ball of harmony on the surface, and behind the scenes, you often fight to the death for a little thing.

His Majesty sent an envoy to this section in the hope that everyone would put aside their hostility and unite to resist the expansion of Tibet.

Therefore, this section makes me hope that everyone can unite in the future, help each other, and don't just care about their own one-third of an acre.

This section is a plan to recruit the young men of the states, raise an army, train it, and defend our territory from the invasion of Tibet.

The young and strong people who serve in the army can receive a sum of money every month to subsidize their families, and in case of war, those who have made war exploits will be rewarded.

I hope that after everyone returns to their territory, they can actively call on everyone to actively sign up for the army to defend their home circle and not be violated by Tibet. Li Zhonghua said to everyone.

Although the assassins agreed to Li Zhonghua's request on the surface, they did not think so in their hearts, and held the idea of waiting to see what happened.

"Yeli Patriarch, what are your plans for the conscription order of the Jiedu envoy?"

"What else can you plan, the Jiedu envoy represents the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court, it is the Khan of the Heavens, is it possible that your Wugu Patriarch wants to disobey the order."

"The Wugu tribe doesn't dare to disobey the orders of the Jiedu envoy, but if the other tribes don't obey their orders, then we won't suffer."

……

Li Zhonghua didn't care what the leaders of the various tribes discussed, he summoned everyone to discuss, but he just made his attitude clear.

Of course, there is also the intention of forcing everyone to express their position, since everyone has not raised any objections, the next step is to send people to the states to recruit soldiers.

Pengzhou

Xue Rengui led 5,000 men and horses to set up camp outside Pengzhou City, and issued a notice of conscription.

Such good conditions have made many people excited.

However, although the conditions are good, not everyone can join the army, and they must pass strict screening, archery, physical fitness, horse skills, and martial arts, all of which are indispensable.

What Li Zhonghua needs is an army that can fight tough battles, so the conditions for conscription are very strict, and of course, the treatment given to the other party is also very good.

At this time, Pengzhou Assassin had just arrived in Yazhou, and he didn't know at all whether he responded to the call for conscription from the Jiedu envoy? Recruitment is already underway.
