There was silence throughout the scene.

The battle of Tubo on the expedition, the number of Tang soldiers killed in the battle was not large, including the battle of Tuyuhun, a total of 223,760 troops were dispatched in the two battles, and 69,112 casualties were lost.

Of these, 16,899 were killed in battle, 9,431 were seriously wounded, and the rest were lightly wounded and unable to continue their service due to injuries, a total of 10,778 people.

In other words, the Tang Dynasty lost a total of 27,677 elite soldiers in this battle.

Among the total number of troops dispatched of more than 220,000 troops, the proportion of losses of more than 27,000 people is not high, and even less than half of the previous examples of the Tang Dynasty.

If one considers the special terrain of Upper Tibet, as well as the fact that nearly one-fifth of the non-combat attrition is taken into account, this amount is completely acceptable.

In the era of cold weapons, a big battle killed and injured countless people was basically commonplace.

Even more soldiers died of wound infections after the war, and the main reason for this is the lack of medical conditions.

From the perspective of the overall situation, this battle proved that the restructuring of the Tang Army was successful, and it was an unprecedented success.

In the past, whether it was the Former Sui or other dynasties, they had never achieved such results in the war against Tibet.

But in Li Yuanji's view, this battle loss can actually be reduced a lot.

However, Li Yuanji felt a little powerless.

Tibet must be destroyed as soon as possible, because of the timing problem.

Once Songtsen Gampo grows up and completely controls the entire Tibet, whether the Tang Dynasty can still destroy him with such war damage, it is not certain.

Although the strength of Datang may be stronger at that time, in the same way, the strength of the enemy is also increasing.

In the entire imperial court, almost no one felt sorry for the more than 20,000 war losses, and everywhere was a piece of jubilation, a celebratory atmosphere, and a gesture of close-up writing.

"I am ordered by the sky, and I will live forever and ......" I don't know when, the voice of the microphone from the palace appeared in this banquet that stretched for dozens of miles.

The so-called microphone is actually to complete the transmission of content in a human way.

It is only used once a year, and is mostly served by the Ministry of Rites or the chamberlain, and this kind of scene is only used during the Manchu Dynasty Assembly on the New Year's Day every year.

Because at that time, all the high-ranking officials in Manchang'an had to come to participate in the court meeting, and it was impossible for so many people to enter the main hall, and at the farthest time, they even lined up at the gate of Taiji Palace.

Although these people can't interject, since they let people come, they always want people to know what the temple has said.

Thus, this form of microphone appeared.

There is a certain time delay, but after special training, they are able to pass on the content word for word.

"There are setbacks, turns, horrors, and the joy of victory, and the soldiers were able to break through the two kingdoms of Tuguhun and Tubo within a year. However, the death of more than 10,000 people, the withdrawal of more than 10,000 people, and the direct battle losses of more than 20,000 people forced me to think about it for a long time.

I'm thinking about the gains and losses of this battle, whether this battle should be fought or not? After thinking about it, I still feel that this battle should be fought, not only should it be fought, but even if I lose 20,000, 30,000, or even 50,000 people, I will continue to fight.

No one knows the environment of Tibet better than you immersive soldiers, and no one knows the current situation of Tibet better than you.

They can pass through the long border line, appear in places you can't imagine forever, and wantonly slaughter the people of the Tang Dynasty, my people, and your relatives.

I can't bear it, I can't sit back and watch that happen, so I can only take precautions and kill him before the integration of Tibet is complete.

I am an emperor, whether from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty or from my own perspective, this decision is very right, and this loss is worth it.

But I am the emperor, the Son of Heaven, I am ordered by Heaven, I live forever, you are my people, I am your parents.

I can't accept such a big casualty, I can't accept so many families losing their sons, their fathers, their husbands.

So I'm thinking again, is it the incompetence of the generals who command the army? Or can't the instructors who train you? Or is it your own problem?

I have thought about it for a long time, but no, you have done well enough, what you have not done well is me, and it is I who is at fault for this, and I have not been able to provide you with more advanced equipment, more comprehensive medical care, and many, many other things.

More than half of the 16,899 fallen soldiers died after the war, and the fault for their deaths lies with me.

But people can't come back from death, even if I am heartbroken, I can't do anything, and the only thing I can do now is to think of more ways to provide more protection for the soldiers, and when they go to the battlefield in the future, it is best not to be injured, and those who are injured can also get timely and effective treatment, and the same mistakes will not occur again.

I won't say more about the words of complaining, you soldiers who are still sitting here will definitely be remembered by history, and I don't want those soldiers who died on the battlefield to be forgotten by history.

That's why I had people build their spiritual positions and write their lives on the back, but it's not enough to be just a spiritual seat.

They sacrificed their lives for the sake of Datang's country and the people of Datang, and Datang should also do everything to keep their last thing.

I will order people to build a palace in front of the Taiji Palace, which will be used to worship and sacrifice these soldiers who died in battle, and they will be with the Tang Dynasty, with all the people, and forever......"

Li Yuanji's words were passed over sentence by sentence, to be honest, as a later generation, when he heard these words, he was slightly excited at most.

Because of this kind of polite words, there are too many political words, even if it is just an ordinary person, they don't think it is so exciting.

But this was in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the emperor who said this.

The monarch is divinely granted, the emperor is a god, and any word of the emperor represents the absoluteness of everything.

Or is it the same sentence, are the casualties of the expeditionary force large?

It's not the first time they've been soldiers, many of them have been transferred from the old government soldiers, and they've fought a lot of battles before, which war can be smoother than this one? Fewer dead?

Why did they play so well? So few dead people?

Is the enemy too weak? Or did you have the upper hand? The latter, of course.

The extensive use of rocket artillery, bomb trucks, and grenades not only broke the morale of the Tibetan army, but also completely crushed their belief in resistance.

In the battles of the Great Corps, the losses of the Don Army, on the contrary, were minimal.

And most of these casualties came from logistics, from small units carrying out reconnaissance and sweeping missions.

In other words, there was no problem in fighting the Tang Army in a large corps, it was enough to overwhelm all enemies, and the combat effectiveness of a small group of troops, with the help of grenades, was also much stronger than before.

In all fairness, this result is acceptable.

Their grief is only because of the loss of their comrades, not because the losses are too heavy.

But the emperor took all the charges on his back, but is this a crime? Not at all, how can there be immortals in war?

If it is said that the decision to continue to increase the research and development of weapons and equipment, enhance the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, and do everything possible to ensure their lives can satisfy everyone.

Then the latter decision to build a palace to worship these soldiers who died in battle was completely said to their hearts.

In the past, those who died also died, and few people remembered, except for their own relatives and comrades-in-arms.

But the palace was different, and although they only occupied a position as large as a rank in it, traces of them could be found here.

And built in front of the Taiji Palace, what does it mean?

It means that as long as the Tang Dynasty is still there, the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty will go to worship every year.

What does this mean? It means supreme glory, even if you die, it is glory.

The banquet slowly opened as Li Yuanji's voice fell.

Beer, liquor, the supply is constant.

A glass in front of the person, the wine glass in front of the spirit card was also filled, and even a bowl of beer, a bowl of liquor, two bowls, and a pair of chopsticks were neatly placed there.

Although people are dead, many people feel that they are not dead, and they are still vigorously sandwiching vegetables into the bowl in front of them, chatting with those cold spirit cards, and talking about those things on the battlefield.

The man doesn't flick when he has tears, but here, in the end, every table is crying.

'King Qin is not defeated, and Li Yuanji is indeed more suitable to be this emperor than him, but I don't know what would have happened if Li Shimin had not been aggressive and wanted to put him to death? Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart.

Before Li Shimin decided to make a move, at least on the surface, Li Yuanji had no objections, but what happened afterwards seemed to confirm that Li Yuanji had been preparing for a rebellion for a long time, so Fang Xuanling didn't dare to guarantee whether his conjecture was right or not.

But after such an incident today, at least for a hundred years, Li Tangjiangshan will be as stable as Mount Tai, and anyone who dares to have the idea of rebellion will inevitably be ruthlessly exterminated by countless armies.

And as long as the emperor is not mediocre and does not mess around, the army will always be the most effective supporter of Li Tang Jiangshan.

It's not about the influence of a general, because Li Yuanji's move is too ruthless, it can be said that he smashed Huanglong and directly collected the hearts of soldiers all over the world.

Of course, this is not something that can be decided by one thing, and before that, Li Yuanji also did a lot of foreshadowing.

It can be said that in the face of this foreshadowing, as long as the subsequent emperor still has a little brain, the Tang Dynasty can continue forever, which is the real reason why Fang Xuanling lamented that Li Shimin was defeated.
