Duan Lun's words seemed to arouse everyone's interest, and the atmosphere of the discussion instantly became lively.

The transfer of troops is different from the garrison, and the local garrison in North Korea is also garrisoned, after all, Datang got it there by force, and there is no substantive political power in the local area, and the garrison is conducive to Datang to manage there.

But the countries of the Western Regions went to garrison troops, which is a bit intriguing.

Although everyone knows that Li Yuanji has long regarded the Western Regions as something in his pocket, but now at this point in time, at least everyone still feels a little risky.

Of course, the royal families of the Western Regions countries do not dare to have too many complaints, many royal families are now staying in Chang'an, and their countries are also controlled by puppets supported by the Tang Dynasty, to put it bluntly, there is not much difference from the direct control of the Tang Dynasty.

But the problem is that the puppet is not his own person after all, and the strength of control between the two is completely different.

In addition, the current policy of opening up the territory has basically been decided, that is, the army will fight, and then the imperial court will organize immigrants, so as to completely assimilate them through a long time of living together.

There is nothing wrong with this approach, but at this point in time, the problem is obvious: there are not enough people to emigrate.

If you have to be determined to do this, then you must be mentally prepared to halve the local population of Datang.

After all, the area of the entire Western Regions is not small, and even if you immigrate one-to-one, you have to move more than five million people to be safe.

"The old man seems to remember that last year it wasn't just the 19th and 22th armies that were newly formed, right? How did the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd armies go? Fang Xuanling asked.

This matter is to be discussed in the Cabinet, but the specific facts are not under the management of the Cabinet, and this is still a matter for the Ministry of War.

I only know that the 19th Army and the 20th Army were two divisions separated from the nine mobile armies as the backbone, and the two newly formed armies were directly stationed on the Korean Peninsula.

The three armies in the latter were also formed as the team of three divisions drawn from the nine mobile armies, but the 19th and 22th armies were formed first.

"In a month, we will leave the company." Cheng Zhijie said, well, this year's army will be expanded by 120,000, but the three new armies have a total of more than 180,000 people, and the remaining 60,000 people, half of which are drawn from mobile units and half from the garrison drawn from Class B troops.

The so-called lower company, in fact, they are already in the company now, but they have not yet gone through the training of the recruit period, and it will take a month to complete the recruit period, plus the training after the company, for this kind of newly formed troops, it is good to be able to form within a year.

"It seems that His Majesty the three armies are planning to devote themselves to the Western Regions, when Ji Guogong arrives in North Korea to complete the battle, and then Wang Xuance returns to the DPRK, this day will be May at least, half a year to prepare, this time next year, he will lead three armies of nearly 200,000 troops to the Western Regions, the old man always has a little unreal feeling." Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and shook his head, what he couldn't think of before, he didn't dare to think about it now, but someone thought about it and did it, and it didn't seem that there was any big loophole.

Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the countries of the Western Regions is not much, although there are not many battles, but through many understandings, coupled with previous combat experience, it can be determined that if 200,000 troops are sent to the Western Regions, then the people of the Western Regions will have no power to resist.

Even 200,000 people they feel that it is a bit much, and 100,000 people are more than enough.

In fact, they didn't think well, in history, the Tang Dynasty only had 30,000 garrisons in the Western Regions, and the area of the Western Regions was as large as the Tang Dynasty's proper, and there were only 30,000 garrisons, can you dare to imagine?

However, the fact is that even these 30,000 garrisons frightened the entire Western Regions and did not dare to move, and they did not even dare to have an idea.

But in the same way, 30,000 people is still too few after all, so the only thing they can do is to guard and scare.

It doesn't matter if no one is anti-minded, but if someone is anti-minded and the distance is too far, these 30,000 garrisons will not be able to take care of it at all.

It was for this reason that the entire Western Regions was lost in the late Tang Dynasty.

"You just know? The old man already knew! Cheng Zhijie glanced at Fang Xuanling with disdain, and said with a pretended expression.

"Oh? Just you, an old horseman, aren't you coming back again? Xiao Yu said with a rare smile.

"Go, go, you farmer, the old men are discussing the important affairs of the court and politics, how can you interfere?" Cheng Zhijie hurriedly responded, causing everyone to laugh.

Xiao Yu smiled at Cheng Zhijie and shook his head, he didn't say anything more, he was right, besides, he was used to these people joking, and he couldn't get angry.

The smile on Cheng Zhijie's face gradually retreated, and he said with a serious face: "You think, these three armies are all formed according to the first type of troops, if this establishment is not enough to explain the problem, then the three newly formed armies are each equipped with 3,000 trucks, that is to say, on average, there is one truck for every 20 people in these three armies, but under normal circumstances, it is no problem for a truck to carry 30 people."

And the two armies of the DPRK, together are only equipped with 3,000 trucks, the advantage of trucks is that they are suitable for large-range, long-distance mobile operations, internally, only nine mobile armies have this demand, but the nine mobile armies, each equipped with 2,000 trucks, let the elite troops not equip them, specially equipped with the newly formed three armies, and they are not mobile armies, what is their intention, does this need to be explained? ”

"In this way, it does look like it is prepared for the Western Regions, and it can be said that as long as the truck bypasses the desert area, it has a lot of advantages over the cavalry." Ma Zhou nodded, he had been to the Western Regions, but the place he had gone to was not far.

It is deserted, there are deserts everywhere, and it is not right, there are still many oases, but I have to admit that the truck is there, and the role is indeed greater than that of the war horse, and the truck eats coal, can work for a long time, and the transportation capacity and endurance are far beyond the cavalry.

"Any inside information?" Xiao Yu couldn't help it, it stands to reason that he shouldn't inquire about these things, but he feels very enthusiastic when he listens to them.

What was unfinished in the previous dynasty, now they can go and finish it, and it is right in front of them, although they have retreated, but so what?

"Of course there is inside information, the army is going to add new equipment, it is said to be very powerful, when facing the conventional ancient army, it is invincible, but the old man has never seen it, in addition, there is ......"
