Chapter 340: The Prime Minister's Ghost Idea

On the third day after the end of the night attack of the hundreds of thousands of troops of Gaochang by the Ji'an army, this news was voluntarily reported to the king of Gaochang and the other three governors in power of Gaochang by the eastern governor of Gaochang State.

In the palace of Gaochang City, the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, Mujshid, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, looked at the urgent report sent by Haner Apdu, the governor of the Eastern Metropolis, with carrier pigeons, and frowned and asked Mengtai Suier, the prime minister of Gaochang State: "Presumably the prime minister has read the urgent report sent by Haner Apdu, I don't know what the prime minister thinks about this?" ”

The prime minister of Gaochang State is the head of the civil officials of Gaochang State, but the civil officials of the four governors are all appointed by the four metropolitan governors, so the prime minister of Gaochang State, Mengtai Suier, is essentially only the head of civil officials in the jurisdiction controlled by King Mujshid.

Although the four Grand Governors were under the orders of King Mujshid of the Kingdom of Gaochang, their relationship was more like an alliance, with King Mujhid being the leader of the alliance and the other four being members of the alliance.

Within the direct jurisdiction of King Mujshid, there are a total of five large oases of Gaochang Kingdom, which are divided into five provinces of Gaochang Kingdom, among which the Gauss Province where the capital Gaochang City is located is the largest oasis of Gaochang Kingdom, with an area of more than one million square kilometers.

In this world, there is no square kilometer as an area unit, and the reason why the area of Gauss Province is more than one million square kilometers is completely calculated by Liu Ji through the data of Gauss Province.

King Mujshid's direct domain, located in the center of the four prefectures, had no other vassal states or independent city-states, and there were a number of small oases within the jurisdiction, all of which were divided into five provinces.

Therefore, in the hands of King Mujshid, apart from the army of about 700,000 Gaochang, he did not control the army of any client state.

Listening to King Mujshid's question, the prime minister of Gaochang State, Meng Taisuier, pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty the King, according to the urgent report of the Governor of Haner Apdu, this time the Jin people are definitely menacing, it is likely that this is the Jin people more than a hundred years later, and they have a peep heart for the Western Regions, that Jin State Qianzhou Ji'an County Taishou, presumably just a trick for the Jin State, otherwise just a young Taishou, how could it be possible to capture the Zhuqi Kingdom and the Suju Kingdom, He also easily defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Metropolitan Governor of Haner Apdu! ”

King Mujshid frowned even tighter and said: "In the past ten years, the national strength of the Jin Kingdom has declined very rapidly, how can the Jin Kingdom have the strength to re-enter the Western Regions at this time?" ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom is very young, maybe this is a manifestation of youth and vigor, it must be more than a hundred years ago, the Jin Kingdom also has a lot of power in the Western Regions, our Gaochang Kingdom must not let the Jin Kingdom re-enter the Western Regions, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"This king also has this consideration, it seems that this king must send some reinforcements to Haner Apdu!" King Mujshid then said.

At this time, Prime Minister Mengtai Suier shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we do not need to send reinforcements to the Governor of Han'er Apdu. ”

"Oh? What does prime minister mean? Not only was the strongest vassal state in his jurisdiction captured by the Jin, but he also lost hundreds of thousands of troops this time, and if he did not send reinforcements to Han'er Apudu, the king was worried that the situation in the Eastern Governorate would get worse and worse. King Mujshid asked, puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the Gaochang army under your command now is only 700,000, and these 700,000 troops are the capital of His Majesty the King to restrain the four governors, and they cannot be easily lost, and the Gaochang army under the command of the Governor of Haner Apdu is still 800,000, and the army of the client country is also hundreds of thousands, in fact, with the military strength of the Metropolitan Governor of Haner Apdu himself, it is not impossible to drive the people of the Jin State out of the Western Regions, and the Metropolitan Governor of Haner Apdu asked His Majesty the King and the other three Metropolitan Governors for help, just to reduce their losses!" Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier explained.

King Mujshid sighed and said, "But after all, Khan Apdu has asked for help from this king, if he does not send troops, Khan Apdu will definitely be resentful, and the gains will outweigh the losses, and the four governors still respect this king very much." ”

Prime Minister Mengtai Suier then suggested: "If reinforcements must be sent, the minister advises His Majesty to immediately recruit 80,000 new soldiers, and then draw another 20,000 troops to form a reinforcement of 100,000 men and send them to the Eastern Governor's Palace." ”

King Mujshid hesitated, "Is that good?" Isn't it too little to send only 20,000 troops? 80,000 recruits went to the battlefield and it was useless at all! ”

"Your Majesty, we can recruit 80,000 new soldiers from the Eastern Tibetan tribe in the province of Olun!"

There are many ethnic groups in Gaochang, the main ethnic group is the Gaochang people, and in the process of expansion, Gaochang conquered some ethnic groups, because the people in the Western Regions are almost the same, and many ethnic groups conquered by Gaochang have been assimilated.

The Dongfan people originally lived in the east, hundreds of years ago, when even the Gaochang Kingdom had not been established, the Dongfan people for some reason, moved all the way west from the east, and finally came to an oasis in the Western Regions, where they settled down and multiplied.

The people of the Eastern Fan tribe are not the same as the people of the Western Regions, but they are very similar to the people of the Jin Kingdom, which makes the Eastern Fan people not welcome in the Western Regions, and later the Eastern Fan people were conquered by the Gaochang State, but the Eastern Fan people have not been assimilated by the Gaochang people, and the Eastern Fan people maintain their unique culture and customs.

King Mujshid thought about it for a while and said: "Although the Dongbo tribe is unruly, but the men in its tribe are all brave and good at fighting, but they are natural warriors, the problem is that there are already more than 40,000 soldiers of the Dongbo tribe in the army under the command of this king, how can the Dongfan tribe let this king recruit 80,000 new soldiers!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Dongfan tribe will definitely agree to us to recruit another 80,000 recruits, last year the province suffered a drought, the area where the Dongfan tribe is located, the drought is the worst, the Dongfan tribe has sent people to Gaochang City, ask His Majesty the King to provide disaster relief to the Dongfan tribe, as long as His Majesty the King agrees to give the Dongfan tribe some food, I believe that the Dongfan tribe will definitely agree to take out 80,000 young and strong men!"

After a pause, Prime Minister Meng Tai Suier said again: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the unruliness of the Dongfan tribe that we need to weaken their strength as much as possible. ”

King Mujshid smiled and said, "Prime Minister, you still have so many ghost ideas, just do what you want!" ”
