Chapter 57: The Tibetan Army Dispatches
Originally, a group of carefree and carefree eight kings of Uszang, life is so beautiful, the world is so peaceful.
But peace has been going on for too long, and it seems easy to feel egg-wrenching. When a man's egg hurts, he is apt to die.
It is said that if you don't do it, you can't die, but it seems that this group of natives who still maintain the habits of medieval life do not understand this truth. They may have been in their current position for too long, so they are always thinking about whether they can go up the ladder. The experience of their ancestors told them that they could not do it, and that what dared to go further awaited them was death.
Maybe the ancestors have really been dead for too long, and these guys have forgotten the ancestral teachings. This is a lesson that the ancestor bought with blood, so he let the rags be thrown away.
They are happy now, because the great Tibetan Empire has been established again. Yes, it has to be an empire, properly.
They elected a new Tibetan emperor, and then they went from being the equivalent of a local prince to a part-time civil and military minister of the imperial court.
It seems to be more fun to govern a country than to be able to sow seeds at home to create a new people, or to manage disputes among small tribes.
As for whether this country will be crippled by them, it seems that it is not within their consideration, and it is a big deal to continue to go back to be their prince.
They conscripted troops, and with the help of the Living Buddha, the 100,000 troops were pulled up in just a few days. You must know that the population of the Us-Tibet region is actually not much, and the ratio of 100,000 troops is already 10:1, according to the modern point of view, this is completely the rhythm of quasi-militarism!
Grain and grass is that you make up a little bit and I make up a little bit, similar to a partnership to do business and buy shares, and it is agreed that the income from foreign wars will be distributed, so the spoils will be distributed according to this proportion. Well, I don't know why today's Tubo Imperial Court gives people a sense of immediacy as a joint venture......
In any case, the army was assembled, and the training was kept simple, taking into account the lack of funds. Besides, Qi Jiguang is trained every five days, and these newcomers only need to be trained every ten or even twenty days. Training is very consuming of the body, and if the body is consumed, you have to eat more food to replenish it, so both soldiers and officers hate training.
Well, very good and powerful consciousness...... But it seems that the officers of the middle and late Ming Dynasty also thought so...... What's worse is that the soldiers of the guard are used as tenant farmers, but when they go to war, they forcibly pull these poor worms who have turned into farmers into battle...... God, they haven't held a weapon in three lifetimes......
In contrast, this group of Tibetan soldiers may be happier.
There is meat every day, in fact, in addition to the meat here in Tibet, it is barley, sometimes I feel that barley is more expensive than meat, especially when there is a sudden disaster, and a large number of livestock animals die. The Living Buddha very humanely sent a lama to give them a lecture and told them, 'Everything you do is correct, what you do is approved by the Buddha, and no matter what the result is, you will inevitably enter the Elysian World.'
Every sentence is so sensational, every sentence sounds so reasonable, and its power has been sublimated, sublimated to the level of a pyramid scheme.
Under such brainwashing, the soldiers have become numb and crazy.
They seem to have become more belligerent than before, and they are always looking forward to the day of departure.
However, where to go to fight is still being discussed.
Joint Venture...... In the absence of an effective system and division of responsibilities, it is easy to have a variety of problems, such as decision-making.
Who makes the decisions, and who is qualified to make decisions? This is an important question!
The chairman of the board of directors has already been elected, that is, the king of Tubo. So they, the shareholders who have shares, should follow the opinion of the chairman, right?
As a result, if you have equity in your hand, no matter how much equity you have, you always feel that you are a bull, and you should have a little power to say something. So when deciding where to fight, the Tibetan Emperor decided to attack Shaanxi, the civil officials said that they would fight Sichuan, and the military officials said that they would attack Yunnan and Burma...... The whole royal court is no different from the vegetable market.
Emperor Tubo means that Shaanxi is the most prosperous and can grab more things; The civil official said that Shaanxi is also the capital of the republic, and which capital is not heavily guarded, and it is too dangerous to go there. Besides, Sichuan is the land of abundance, and there are a lot of good things in it, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is difficult to come to support Shaanxi and Yunnan, so it is better to fight Sichuan; The military attache is the most direct, Yunnan and Burma are so close to their own territory, and the other party has just been defeated, and the garrison ability is naturally the weakest, where else can they fight if they don't fight Yunnan and Burma?
Everyone thinks that if they have shares, they will be bullish, and everyone hopes that things can develop according to their own ideas.
As a result, when the army of the Republic entered the Uszang region and was about to approach the vicinity of Naquka, they realized in a daze that it seemed that instead of continuing to discuss the question of where to fight first, they should consider the question of how to meet the battle.
I asked the soldiers who came to report from the front, and I learned that the enemy was only 20,000, and 10,000 were still infantry. After hearing this result, the Eight Kings could almost laugh, and the Tubo Emperor and the Living Buddha could also laugh.
Tubo may not be able to make up many war horses, but fifty or sixty thousand can still make up it. At least more than 30,000 of the 100,000 troops are cavalry, and the Tibetans can be regarded as a nomadic people, at least half. Therefore, every cavalry is qualified, even if they don't have much training, they only need to be equipped with weapons and armor or something, and they can almost go into battle after three or five days of familiarization in the army.
30,000 cavalry against 20,000 infantry mixed army, not to mention 70,000 infantry in the back, the Tubo Imperial Court felt that it was a win!
Okay, let's use the blood of your Han people to sacrifice the flag for our expedition!
Prepare, assemble, go...... Every two words is a day's time, and it took three days before it was rectified and the expedition began...... The daylilies are cold.
But after all, one of the eight kings was the most anxious, and that was the king of the Sect who was closest to the front line, and the Wehrmacht had just invaded his territory. If their own house is on fire, who doesn't care, others will assemble in three days, and the king of the Sect will assemble in more than two days, and he will not wait for others to take the first step.
Anyway, he has 10,000 men under his command, and his territory is familiar, so it is still very possible to outflank the enemy army by relying on the vast plains. At the very least, it is also possible to inflict a heavy blow on the opposing infantry!
He had heard that even if the Tang Dynasty sent the military god Li Jing and sent 100,000 troops to fight Tubo, he was defeated in the end. Now only 10,000 people dare to come to provoke, this is not looking for death?!
The baggage of tens of thousands of people can't be given to others!
In fact, this is what the king really thinks......
