Chapter 404: The Question of Candidates

The good news is coming, although it is a little late, but Li Yuanji does not feel too late.

It seems to be expected.

After opening the good news, I scanned it with big eyes, and didn't see anything that shocked me, so I read it carefully.

Overall, although the attack on Tibet encountered some problems, the results were good.

The number of casualties in the troops was not large, which was a blessing among all blessings, and as for killing those slave owners in Tibet, it was even more indifferent in Li Yuanji's opinion.

In fact, it's good to kill it, at least so that you don't have a headache, some people, it's a scourge to keep it.

Although some of the decisions seem to be very righteous and very angry, it is only when I encounter the problems created by these people in the future that I regret not killing them in the first place.

Of course, as a politician, there is no reason, no possibility, that you will give up the interests you have already received, and ask for the so-called face.

For example, after the end of World War II, Huaxia publicly stated that it would give up asking for war reparations from the little devils.

How about this statement? Feeling excited? Do you think that we are very righteous, that we are only fighting for self-preservation, and that we have never thought of profiting from it?

Bullshit, Li Yuanji was almost cheated by the history books back then.

It wasn't until now, until he became the emperor, that he understood that who wouldn't want money? War reparations, that is the money from normal channels, in the face of the situation of poverty and whiteness at that time, how much financial resources has little Japan scavenged in China over the years? The indemnity paid to those people is probably not enough for the value of what they have taken away.

What is considered for the post-war reconstruction of the little devils, the country is worse than that side.

What is the reason? has no strength, and wants to disrupt the situation.

Considering from the position of our party, although doing so will make you poor in the future, considering the circumstances at that time, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

First of all, he could not afford to get the indemnity, because no one recognized his status, and he was not even qualified to send people to participate in the post-war trial.

If you don't come forward to make trouble, in case the enemy gets a huge amount of compensation, etc., how can you play next?

In fact, that's just a normal political tactic, and I'd rather fight to lose than let you get any benefits.

The current Datang has strength, and during World War II, the current Datang is like the existence of the American imperialism of the year.

No, it can be said that it is a more powerful existence than the US imperialists, with the logistics and resource support of the US imperialists, and the combat capabilities of the German soldiers, and the current Datang is completely a combination of the US imperialism and Germany.

Thoughts were quickly taken back, and the ministers were ready to work in the palace, and this life had almost become the norm.

There is a lot of work, insufficient manpower, if you don't take the initiative to work overtime, the task will never be played, and the task is squeezed to a certain extent, and it will affect your own assessment.

The imperial court does not raise idlers, which is the most common sentence heard in recent years.

It is not only those officials who are busy at the grassroots level, but even those cabinet bigwigs do not dare to relax, and sometimes the meetings are discussed until midnight, and the frequency of meetings is obviously more than before.

The time taken up by the meeting must be used to complete your own work through other time.

Therefore, the entire Datang now can only be described in one word, busy!

But fortunately, the effective results of busyness, all aspects, are gradually improving, can see the results, everyone is naturally willing to be busy, it is much better than being busy.

"Your Majesty, but the war in Tibet has come to fruition?" Fang Xuanling, who looked a little tired, couldn't stop asking.

Although I rested all night, I was still exhausted, and the whole person seemed to be falling apart, and there were problems everywhere that needed to be worried about personally, and people were inseparable everywhere.

The cabinet is indeed good, it can solve many problems very well, and it can decentralize the power to ensure that the emperor's position is not affected in any way.

But after all, cabinet members still have power in their hands, and having power means being busy, and there are not enough people to share.

Although power is a good thing, at this time, everyone wants to add a deputy to share the pressure on their shoulders.

Today is not the day of the cabinet meeting, and the emperor is very sympathetic to these ministers, and rarely holds a cabinet meeting on non-meeting days.

When they came, they also inquired, and heard that the news came from the front, of course, even if they didn't ask, after learning this news, how could it be a trivial matter to let the emperor convene a cabinet meeting?

"Not bad!" Li Yuanji nodded, "Li Jing and Su Dingfang have already joined forces in Luo, and with just one charge, they have broken through the main force of nearly 100,000 Tibetans, killed more than 20,000 people, captured more than 70,000 people, and killed nearly 7,000 slave owners, and now there are more than 60,000 Tubo soldiers left." They were disposed of according to the plan previously agreed upon by the imperial court, and the effect was good, and they were very popular with the slaves. ”

The issue of the disposal of Tibet has been discussed for a long time, and the results were finally reached a few years ago.

Now, their plan is very effective, to dismantle the rule of Tibet from the grassroots level, so that they will completely lose the foundation of their rule.

Although the big war is gone, and as the news spreads, more and more Tubo people will surrender, and even rebel against the slave owners who suppressed them, which is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

But the problem is not without problems, regarding the issue of candidates, this has troubled the imperial court for a long, long time.

It is impossible for the army to be stationed there all the time, sooner or later it will have to retreat, and it would be good to be able to stay there with 30,000 men.

The problems in the future still have to be handed over to the imperial court to deal with, but whether it is the grassroots officials or the high-level candidates, there is no eyebrow so far.

Sure enough, hearing Li Yuanji's affirmation, Fang Xuanling and the others frowned.

They have also discussed the issue of candidates many times, but each time they have to give up.

First of all, no one wants to go there, not to mention the people who are assigned, even they themselves don't want to go, even if it's just to go there, not to be there.

Although they had not been there, through the news that Li Jing brought back when he returned, as well as the military contacts in the past six months, they also knew very well that the situation in Tibet was very bad.

No one wanted to go, and no one asked to recommend who to go there, after all, it was an offending thing, and it was an offending death.

It's just that in the past, I could still play sloppy and Tai Chi, but now, Tubo has been taken down, and if the cabinet can't come up with a suitable candidate, it won't be able to hang on to this face.

"The ministers have been thinking about it for a long time, but they have never been able to think of a suitable candidate, please forgive your majesty......" Fang Xuanling was depressed, he was unwilling to offend people, and others were unwilling, let alone let others go there, so this problem could only be left to the emperor to deal with.

Directly assigned by the emperor, whoever falls on the head when the time comes, even if it is unlucky, it is no wonder to others.

Li Yuanji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he always maintained an incomprehensible smile on his face.

For this situation, I have known for a long time, but I have never interfered, and now it seems that these smart people are not really smart, and Tubo is just a barren land in their eyes.

But is that really the case?

Others don't know, but Li Yuanji knows very well that Tubo is an absolute natural horse farm, and even surpasses the northern grasslands in terms of geography, because it is relatively safer and almost free from any attacks.

Other resources aside, the pasture area accounts for more than half of the entire Tibetan area, and this alone is no problem in raising millions of war horses for the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the appearance of the ministers who let their fate go, Li Yuanji wanted to laugh very much, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, but I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it.

"I never force a person to do something he doesn't want to do, let alone go where he doesn't want to go. Since there is no suitable candidate for the secretary, then the national selection, the Zhongshu Province issued a notice, listing the situation in Tibet, including officials from the fourth rank and above, if there are officials who want to go there, they can sign up to participate, and they need to prepare their own governance strategy, which will be screened by me personally. Li Yuanji said lightly.

"No!" Fang Xuanling responded, and smiled wryly in his heart.

The cabinet bigwigs didn't come up with a plan, but the emperor planned to mess around in a blink of an eye, a selection, to select the people of Tubo, is this realistic?

Even if you look down on Tubo, but Tubo has such a large area after all, even if it is selected, don't you have to set the level above the third grade? What the hell is it that is above the fourth grade now?

But complaining is complaining, but no one dares to express dissatisfaction at this time, after all, they can't choose anyone themselves, and they can't blame others.

"The military headquarters should immediately start arranging the issue of garrisoning, the scale of which is tentatively set at 50,000 for a period of four years, and after four years, the number of garrisons will be decided according to the specific situation, and they can be selected from the expeditionary force or recruited from new recruits, and the salary of all officers and men stationed in Tibet will be increased by 50 percent." Li Yuanji continued to say that the garrison is certain, considering the actual situation over there, 50,000 people is actually not much, but with the help of this policy, 50,000 people are still enough.

Of course, there is a more important thing to do besides the garrison.

To make the military professional, it is necessary to move closer to professionalism, and the continued existence of those acts of entrapping private goods in the past cannot be tolerated.

Of course, it is not forbidden to do everything, except for the basic things, other feelings can still be retained, and if you are willing to take it out, it will naturally be beneficial.

"Demarcate an area outside Chang'an City, I will send someone to clean it up, and next, pick out the best and most special soldiers in this battle, recall Chang'an, I have other uses......" Li Yuanji did not say it explicitly, but this series of actions are proving one thing, he wants to build a military academy belonging to the Tang Dynasty.
