The appearance of the Lord of Radiance did not fail to attract the attention of the local forces. It's just that the starting point of Abramo, a divine envoy, a priest, and a prophet, is much higher than the founders of several major sects, and in addition to having many miracles, he also has a lot of troops.

In the face of those large-scale encirclement and suppression, Abramo won the master time and space Celestial Dynasty Taizu's "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." The essence of this 12-character strategic policy is to fight if it can be beaten, and if it can't be beaten, the strategy will be shifted.

Anyway, there are satellites in low-earth orbit that are scanning and detecting the area where Abramo is located 24 hours a day, and once there is any danger, the first time will be warned through the so-called artifact, not to mention that there are no doors and windows if you want to sneak attack.

If it is a small-scale temptation or malicious targeting, it is directly with the hundred subordinates who have also been baptized by divine grace, chanting the name of the Lord of Radiance, using the artifact in their hands, and "swallowing" each other in one bite.

At the same time, in the name of fighting for God, believers who have thrown themselves into the glory of the Radiant Lord will be tested and screened. Those shallow believers who are just to have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, have a house to live in, and have something to do naturally have a low status.

For these people, although Abramo does not force them to dedicate all their faith to the Lord of Radiance, in line with the principle of fairness as much as you give, there is no way to give any too good treatment, but to arrange them in the right position.

After all, even if it is a sect, it is impossible to be full of sacrifices and paladins from top to bottom, especially after occupying a piece of territory. Basic agriculture, industry, and commerce all require a large population, and these shallow believers have become the best choice.

In addition to the shallow believers, Abramo also divided into three classes: true believers, fanatical believers, and saints according to different levels of faith. Each class not only has different status, rights and treatment, but also will be assigned to different jobs.

True believers, for example, are equivalent to the middle class of a society. The fanatics are equivalent to the upper class, and as for the saints, they belong to the very top part of the pyramid. And the 100 who have been baptized by charism belong to this class.

Although a hundred saints does seem to be a little more in number. But to be able to receive the baptism of divine grace. That's enough to tell. Especially after Abramo's publicity, this has become the difference of the Lord of Radiance.

As for those who are not strong-willed enough and commit acts of betrayal in the face of danger. Not only will they be removed from their original membership as believers and all kinds of treatment, but they will also be treated in front of everyone. Accept the judgment of the Light. As a result. Naturally, there is no need to say more.

Under this old-fashioned method of "holding a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other", although it does not seem to be very different, in fact, it is still "a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other", this group of believers under Abramo. In terms of cohesion alone, it is no worse than those old sects.

Of course, it is useless to have strong light cohesion but not enough scale, but fortunately, the starting point of Abramo's side is relatively high, and the foundation is solid enough, don't look at the scale is still small now, as long as there is enough time for development, it will not be a problem at all.

Compared with the development of Abramo's side, Datang's side seems to be much calmer. With Li Shimin, the king of a country, even if Li Anran's reputation among the people is not high, the industry under the name of Xiaoyao Villa is still developing smoothly.

It's just that, compared with the development of the industry under his name, Li Anran is more concerned about the Tang Dynasty's large-scale use of troops against the Turks.

After replacing the sophisticated weapons and armor, and undergoing training in new military training techniques, although the number of soldiers used this time is not more than in historical records, the combat effectiveness of the Datang military is obviously stronger than in the past.

In addition, the "Tengyun" large commercial airship provides logistics and material transportation services, which to a large extent solves the supply problem caused by the excessively long battle line, and the effect is far more than just one plus one equals two.

So that the Turks, who did not have much preparation, were directly stunned, if this was a large-scale use of troops against the Turks, and at the same time, there was also the intention of actual combat training, in Li Anran's opinion, how could this war be fought for such a long time.

But even so, after more than a month, the Turks were beaten bitterly. After the last, seeing that if this continued, even if it would not be exterminated, it would be completely defeated, and Jieli Khan, this guy, had to repeat his old tricks and send an envoy to sue for peace.

If this had been before, as soon as Jieli Khan offered his surrender and said a few good words, Li Shimin, as the king of a country, would probably have let the other party go. Even, in order to show the bearing of a great country, some gold, silver and jewelry will be rewarded.

But the problem is that Li Shimin has read a lot of books from the Gewu Academy during this time. Even if the content in these books is not fully recognized, it is still "blackened" a lot.

So, when Jieli Khan sent an envoy to sue for peace, Li Shimin was still waving the banner of valuing peace on the surface, but in fact he put forward many unacceptable conditions. Although these conditions were mostly tentative, they were enough to make the envoys sent by Jieli Khan stunned.

What made Li Shimin extremely annoyed was that this temptation, coupled with the intelligence obtained from the front line, really found that Jieli Khan's so-called peace was the same as before, and it was just an excuse to delay time to recuperate and strengthen himself, to some extent, it can be said that the other party never thought of real peace with Datang.

However, considering the existence of the Turks, it can still play a certain deterrent role in other surrounding countries. In addition, in Datang, which is still in the stage of recuperation, there is not so much "appetite" to swallow the entire Turkic.

Therefore, in the end, Li Shimin did not give the order to directly destroy the Turks. However, compared to the Turks who escaped, Jieli, who was a khan, was not so lucky. No, in the course of a confrontation between the two armies. "Accidentally" was shot to death.

Fortunately, the Internet saying of later generations that "everyone will turn the same way when the earth is gone" is also suitable for Datang time and space. Although Jieli's death did have a great impact on the Turks, for the Tang Dynasty, these effects were quite positive.

For example, the Turkic army, which was still fighting to the end with the Tang army, not only quickly became demoralized due to internal contradictions and disputes, but also surrendered directly not long after because of the Tang Dynasty's secret provocation and promotion.

Li Shimin, who has already understood what the costs of the war and the benefits of the war are, will naturally no longer be as stupid as he was before to pay for this war. Instead, many conditions and war reparations were thrown in front of the new Turkic khan.

If Jieli Khan is still there, he will face some conditions and huge war reparations. Even if you don't dare to refuse openly. It will also be able to delay and rely on it. But the new Khan, who had just been supported by the Tang Dynasty, knew very well what he needed most now.

As a result, not only were the conditions and the war reparations of the giant customer all agreed, but they also expressed it very humbly. I'm willing to shell out another amount of money. I hope that Datang's army can help deal with the enemies inside and around it. so as not to sit unsteadily.

It just so happened that this time the Turkic troops were sent to the Turks, which originally meant actual combat training. In addition, the new Khan is also quite generous, and the price offered is really not low. In the end, a part of the Tang army rightfully remained in the Turkic lands.

And with a wave of the new Khan's hand, the first military base of the Tang Dynasty stationed abroad was established. However, for the sake of the face of the great power, it is naturally impossible to say to the outside world that he was hired by the new khan, but in the name of maintaining peace in the Turkic territory.

And the Tang troops who remained in the Turks are also called peacekeepers.

By the time Li Anran returned to Datang from Western Europe, the entire war had entered the bottom line. Except for the peacekeepers who remained in the Turks, and some of the border defenders who replaced them, the remaining Tang troops have begun to retreat with the ashes of their comrades.

Although this time the Tang Dynasty's military seats have been trained in new military training techniques, and at the same time, they are equipped with sophisticated weapons and armor that far exceed those in the past, but after this big battle, there are still many soldiers who fell on the land of the two armies.

It's just that for the top management of Datang, the loss this time is already surprisingly small. Many of the wounded who could not be saved in the past survived tenaciously under the care of the military medical battalion headed by Sun Simiao.

Considering that these wounded did not take advantage of the long journey, under the application of the leading generals and the instructions of Li Shimin, the "Tengyun" large cargo spacecraft, which once again played a very important role in this war, made more than one trip.

In the past, it was definitely not a small expense for such a sum. Even if Li Shimin is willing, the officials below will definitely persuade him more. But this time, he made a lot of money by using troops against the Turks, and naturally no one was willing to brush off the good intentions of the current saints in this matter.

As for the freight for transporting the wounded, Xiang Yun'er, who is in charge of this matter, has not been exempted because of this. However, in the process of transportation, free support was given in terms of food, drink and medicine. All told, this expenditure is not small.

The most important thing is that when he was on the airship, Xiangyun also specially arranged for people to recruit those wounded. Don't look at these wounded, many of them are missing arms and legs, and even blind eyes, but as long as they are used well, it is a treasure.

After all, these veterans who have been systematically trained and have been on the battlefield at the same time are not as useful as killing enemies. Not to mention some irreparable injuries in the eyes of the Tang Tu clan, for a certain glorious lord who has no discipline, it is not impossible to cure.

If we can take this opportunity to take these wounded into our own possession, we will be able to alleviate the shortage of manpower in Fuso, Liuqiu, Arabia and Western Europe, and save the time it takes to develop our own human resources.

Of course, in order to make these wounded people loyal enough, Xiangyun was not in a hurry to tell the story that could treat these meritorious people. It directly shows that Xiaoyao Villa has a lot of industries overseas, and can give them a job with good salary, and at the same time, they can also bring their families to go there.

And the content of the work and the specific treatment are also clearly stated. As for the question of whether to go or not to go, it is completely voluntary and not reluctant. Even, if you encounter some special difficulties, you can also negotiate with the villa to deal with them.

Although in ancient times, almost everyone had "the homeland is difficult to leave, and the poor family is difficult to leave." But it can't stand in the recruitment materials, but anyone who is willing to apply will not only have a good salary, but also get a certain amount of land and a spacious house that can accommodate three generations of the same family.

At the same time, if necessary, you can also provide a mother-in-law who has a good look, a figure, a hall, and a kitchen to pass on the lineage, and there is no need to worry about not being able to branch out because of physical disabilities. Even, if you have better conditions, you can still get an official to be an official.

In the face of such generous treatment and benefits, even though some people still choose to return to their hometowns because of the traditional concept of being unable to leave their homeland, a considerable number of wounded people still make the right choice.

Therefore, when the large cargo airship "Tengyun", which picked up the wounded soldiers, returned to Datang, it did not land directly at the landing site officially designated by Datang, but first returned to Xiaoyao Villa to put down the part of the wounded soldiers who applied for the job, and then sent the others back.

Originally, Li Anran also felt that Xiangyun's actions would definitely cause dissatisfaction among Datang officials. But it didn't work out, things went the other way around. Regarding Xiaoyao Villa's willingness to take over the wounded soldiers, Li Shimin, down to those officials and generals, all unexpectedly gave an attitude of approval.

Even, for those wounded soldiers who wanted to stay in their hometowns, they also specially arranged for the personnel of the pass to persuade them, which directly led to the unexpectedly good results of Xiangyun's recruitment plan.

Regarding the official decision of the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran was relieved after meeting with Cheng Yanjin once.

After all, in ancient times, even the Tang Dynasty, which had begun to show its prosperous posture, still did not do enough to deal with the wounded soldiers. In fact, not only the Tang Dynasty, even in the modern era of the main time and space, not to mention the wounded soldiers, even the placement of veterans is not still a "big problem".

Although Li Shimin and the Datang officials did not fail to see some of the deep meanings implied by Xiangyun's move. But what can it be, whether it is from the perspective of the overall situation or personal feelings, in the eyes of Li Shimin and those officials and generals, the advantages of these wounded soldiers always outweigh the disadvantages.

Of course, the wounded soldiers with meritorious service should be rewarded, and even the wounded soldiers without meritorious service have also received subsidies from the official Datang Dynasty. (To be continued......)
