Section 604 Hit it!
Wei Xi took his wife and a group of heroes to work hard in the Western Regions, and they sent the achievements of the alliance and tribute to Shendu by special car, bringing back Wu Zetian's awards, family letters, and information. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Princess Taiping sat on the ground to collect money, and the number of food was increased to 3,900 households, while Wei Xi was a thousand.
Fortunately, she is Wei Xi's wife, so the generals will not rebel!
More fortunately, everyone knows that the gods have become so smoky, but fortunately, they didn't stay in the gods, so they don't have to suffer from those birds!
How good it is here, fighting wars, opening up and building a new Western Regions, and making contributions.
Mainly administration, military training, construction, data collection, planting, grazing, commerce, everyone is full of enthusiasm.
After arranging everyone's work, Wei Xi has an aura of encouraging morale, which is a remarkable achievement.
The barns are full of grain and grass, the cattle and sheep are full of barns, and the meat produced is so much that it is impossible to eat, and the horses and cattle in Mishan, when coal and iron were mined, the wealth created is shocking!
They lived happily, and as time passed, another year passed.
As soon as the summer came, the Tang Anxi Protectorate immediately used troops against the Shupantuo Kingdom, on the grounds that it had destroyed trade, and many caravans that crossed its borders were robbed, and the trade was uneasy!
The country is also known as the thirsty Pantuo country, the big stone country, etc., its location in the (Xinjiang) Tashkurgan region, that is, the green ridge (Pamir Plateau), which is the southern route of the Silk Road, its snow ridge is even brocade, the terrain is treacherous, the advantage is that it is close, so a large number of caravans pass.
After last year's meeting, it was reported that some caravans and envoys transiting through the country had disappeared, and the Metropolitan Protectorate sent a note to the country, but the result was that there was no correction, and the number of missing people continued to rise.
And the spy reports of the Tang people confirmed that there was indeed a great deal of chaos in the country, the country had a new monarch, but it was very young, the lord was suspicious, and the subordinates were divided, resulting in disorder, law and order, and thieves.
Hit it!
Where Wei Xi was, it was decided that the Anxi Protectorate would be expanded, and if there were conditions, he would fight, and if there were no conditions, he would create conditions to fight.
If you want to add sin, there is no word.
This time, Wang Xiaojie led the army, Cheng Boxi was the deputy general, because it was the first battle after the opening, Shi Wanchao asked for battle, but Wang Xiaojie said that he ate too much, causing excessive logistical pressure and was not allowed.
Shi Wanchao snorted angrily and said that I am looking for a subordinate to carry grain and grass at home, okay?
He found Wei Xi, and Wei Xi told him that he was still preparing to fight the Turf Cavalry, and he needed Shi Wanchao to charge into battle, and the country of Thirsty Pantuo was a small country, a mountainous country, which was not suitable for him to fight.
"Then why did General Wang say that I don't want to eat too much!" Shi Wanchao said angrily.
"He's joking with you! How could he not want you, if he went to fight the Turgish, then he would be the first to rush to get you! Wei Xi comforted him with good words, for this kind of simple-minded officer as long as there is a fight, every superior likes it from the bottom of his heart.
There were 6,000 Tang soldiers from the attack on the country of Shupantuo, all of whom were mountain soldiers, 2,000 veterans and 4,000 new soldiers.
In this way, veterans teach recruits the skills of mountain warfare (which they have also been trained in before), bring appropriate equipment and take care to keep warm and avoid altitude sickness.
Then 4,000 people were levied from Khotan, Qiuci, and Shule countries, 800 to 1,000 people from large countries, and 2 or 300 people from small countries.
It is precisely because they are small that they keep the country.
During the period of contention between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, they were the grass on the wall, and now that the Tang Dynasty is a dominant country, they simply fall to the ground like weak animals and turn their bellies open to powerful heavenly objects, so Wei Xi stopped the knife.
Communicating with them means that everyone can rest assured, first, they have lost their sincerity to the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty, and everyone has feelings! second, he was instructed by Emperor Gaozong not to kill so many; Third, the Western Regions are so big, there is enough space for everyone to survive.
Finally, all countries please hand over diplomacy and national defense to us Datang!
As a result, Wei Xi's soldiers did not use blood, and easily dealt with the countries, and there were Tang officials in all the small countries in the Western Regions, and there were Tang officers in the army, gradually controlling the small countries, creating the deepest degree of control of the Western Regions by the "Central Plains people" in history.
Anyone else can't do it with such a high level of his level, he can't do it with a black heart like him, once he is disobedient, he will destroy the country, it's definitely not a joke!
Before, as long as the small countries surrendered to the Central Plains and sent a small tribute, they would get several times the return. And the Central Plains rarely manages them.
Wei Xi, on the other hand, exerted influence on the countries in internal affairs, and controlled them in foreign affairs and national defense.
There is a difference that he is more respectful of people, and he will not look at the tribes in the Western Regions differently whether they are of the same race or not, but after they surrender, they are Tang people, and they are treated equally, and he will not take more and deduct the benefits that should be given.
Therefore, the control of the small countries, although there is dissatisfaction, but it can still be maintained, and I do not think of rebellion.
……
In addition to 10,000 soldiers, there are 3,000 engineers, and then there are 10,000 people who have been requisitioned.
For example, if a young man helps the army and completes his service, and the army catches a group of slaves, he can take a male slave to go back to work, or he can ask a female slave to go to a warm pillow mat.
Princess Taiping shogunate, do a good job of regulations, and the head is the way.
And the treatment of the army is better, and there are official positions, since Wei Xi took office, manpower is no longer used in vain.
5,000 out of 10,000 are Tang people, and 5,000 are small people, and everyone is paid, according to the market price, so although it is dangerous, everyone is still supportive.
……
The mountains are undulating and undulating, and the snow-capped peaks stand in groups, towering into the sky.
This is Green Ridge!
We are an important border of the Tang Empire (Wei Xi has already brought the Western Regions under official control)!
Unlike any general, Wei Xi's military band is a fixed formation, and the military supervisor Sima is not only in charge of the soldiers, but also does ideological work and initiates agitation work, so even if he looks at the vast mountains, the morale of the army is good.
Even the morale of the servant army is okay, as mentioned earlier, Wei Xi is given money, and the treatment is good.
Of course, don't think that Wei Xi is a good money boy, he is a slave owner, giving people 100,000 yuan, and asking people to return millions, these are all life money.
Those who can't serve the army will be killed!
Those who don't hear the drum will be killed!
With a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, Wei Xi has long been skilled.
……
On the long mountain road, everyone ate Rhodiola, chewed beef jerky or tea in their mouths, carried their backpacks, and climbed forward along the mountain road opened up by the engineering troops.
The people had tea to distribute, and the beef jerky was supplied to the soldiers.
Now there is one more thing, that is, raisins, and in the Western Regions, the Tang people have obtained a large supply of raisins.
Everyone said that being a general's soldier should not talk about other benefits, at least everyone's stomach is satisfied.
It's not in a hurry, the road is potholed, winding, and turning around, everyone is cursing the country of Shupantuo for charging so many tolls every year (this is the news found out), and the road is not repaired.
One of the benefits of Wei Xi's system is that where the army goes, where the roads are built, everyone is used to good roads.
But the most difficult road in military training has also been walked, let's go!
At first, the slope was not large, but gradually the road became steeper and steeper, but fortunately, the engineers had already repaired the difficult road, and the guide rope was pulled in the place with a large slope.
Horses and donkeys were a big problem, and people dragged them and gave them feet, loosened the goods they carried, and pulled them up the hill.
At this time, you must pull them down, and don't let them look back, otherwise the mountains are high and the road is far away, and these animals will rebel!
