Li Yuzhen is indeed very regretful, and her way to make up for her regret is to fight with the third uncle Yutai Xiong every few days.

The sword path of the Tai Xiong is a straight way, and among the senior sisters and siblings, he can be said to be the least intelligent one, but this is not that he is not smart does not mean that he is stupid and has poor understanding, but it is also because of his singleness, but it is pure, in terms of strength, he is better than people who are smarter than him, except for the senior sister and the second senior sister Mo Bai, he ranks third in the Sword Pavilion - so Li Yuzhen likes to challenge this uncle. And Yutai Xiong has a heavy hand, and she will not keep her hand because she is a nephew and the prince of the empire, which is another reason why Li Yuzhen chose him, how to call a bloodless battle a battle, of course, it is better to let the opponent bleed.

It's a pity that Uncle Xiong left the East Palace after mid-May, and also left Chang'an, and only a few people know where he went.

After the Yutai bear left, Li Yuzhen could only choose to sharpen his sword with Uncle Hua.

But Hua Xingzhi made a measured move, and Li Yuzhen bled less. This is also one of the reasons why she was the most reluctant to "consult" Uncle Hua in the Sword Pavilion before. But compared with King Shen and King Huo, let's choose Uncle Hua.

At this time, Li Yuzhen felt that Xiao Yan and Murong were never there, which was really a pity.

It's really important to have a companion who can fight.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Chang'an was very hot, and the Privy Council meeting was also moved to the Xia Pavilion.

The Privy Council is not a cabinet, just as the political hall is not a hall, the military decision-making center of this empire is the same as the political hall, all located in the side of the Xuanzheng Hall of the Chinese Dynasty, the political hall is east of the Xuanzheng Palace, the Privy Council is in the west of the Xuanzheng Palace, all of them are palace courtyard buildings, divided into two before and after, the palace of the Privy Council and the left and right corridors are full of more than 60 trees, of which the summer pavilion is an independent water pavilion, built in the center of the pool, there are waterwheels on three sides of the pavilion to drive the waterfall to flow down, the hot summer does not use ice and cools itself, the summer privy council is held here. May 25 is the regular meeting of the Privy Council - after the empire entered the wartime state, in addition to the Privy Council, the Privy Council also has a regular meeting of the Privy Council once every 10 days, which is presided over by the Privy Council General Staff, mainly to analyze the latest military situation, and make tactical corrections and adjustments according to the changes in the military situation, and send them to the front command for reference, so as to reduce the tactical mistakes of the front-line command due to poor intelligence, which is also an important reason why the Tang Army can become a hundred victories.

Therefore, the regular meeting of the Privy Council is of course important and necessary.

The first person to report at today's regular meeting is still the Second Department of the Metropolitan Staff Department, that is, the Privy Military Intelligence Department as it is called internally, which is mainly responsible for collecting and analyzing military and political intelligence, and has certain overlapping responsibilities with the Jing'an Division and the Military Department's Functional Division, which is also normal; it is also normal for an empire to have only one intelligence agency, but in wartime, the military and political information obtained by the Jing'an Division and the Metropolitan Staff Division must be summarized to the Second Privy Council General Staff Division as soon as possible for operational analysis and deployment.

After the analysis of the professional military intelligence lieutenants of the Second Division, the most likely analysis of the composition of the Southern Expeditionary Force of the Great Food was made, including the direction of troop transfer, the types of tribes, the composition of the corps, the generals of the unified army, the strength of the corps, the strength of the naval fleet and warships, and so on.

The second Zhonglang will Sheng Buchan is fifty-five years old, his complexion is a little dark, not tanned, but his ancestors have the blood of Nanyang "Kunlun Nu", her great-grandfather and grandfather are both garrison officers of the East China Sea Metropolitan Protectorate, and her father is a senior military attache in the garrison of the Jinnanzhou Governor's Palace, and like countless new military officers, the Sheng family is also a new family of officers born with the expansion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the children of these families are one of the pillars of the huge middle-level military attache system of the Tang Dynasty, and have formed a new interest group because of the same origin, Known as the military upstart group, it has military power and interest competition with the old military clique from which the founding martial arts were born, and there is also a natural opposition with the military attache group from the family, coupled with the military attache group from the royal family, it can be said that the middle and senior officer system of the Tang Dynasty is controlled by these four major military groups - this is also reflected in the Privy Council meeting, and the senators are all from these four major military groups.

Sheng Buchan was born in a military upstart family, with the military literacy passed down from her grandparents, and the military education received since childhood, she naturally entered the military academy when she grew up, she did not choose to be admitted to the military command school like her brother, but was admitted to the national defense military academy under the Privy Council General Staff, and chose the "military relations project", which is actually an intelligence major, and after graduation, he entered the Jinnanzhou Military Intelligence Bureau, and later transferred to the Nanxizhou Military Intelligence Bureau. Ordinary has no characteristics, the temperament is introverted, and it also gives people the feeling of the public, only a pair of eyes, when it is staring at people urgently, it is like being targeted by a falcon, which makes people shudder and be terrified.

Sheng Buchan's voice quality is also very ordinary, which is also a non-characteristic voice that belongs to Migan, but when she was doing a task in Dashi Arkham Province, she hurt her throat and became a little hoarse, but her ordinary timbre is full of peculiar charm, and she can grab people's ears as soon as she opens her mouth when she reports - the former emperor Jingzong is quite good-looking, and when he mentioned her as the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department, he joked: "It's enough to listen to Qing's voice." ”

Li Yuzhen listened to her characteristic voice, concise and neat, and opened her mouth to say the composition of the "Southern Expeditionary Army", "including the army and navy, and the fifty-five legions of the army, as follows: one legion of the Caliphate Praetorian Guard, nine legions of the tribal army - five of which are Mamluks. These ten legions were all infantry regiments. ”

The Great Food Army Legion is a 10,000-strong regiment, and the ten legions are 100,000 combat soldiers, of which 50,000 are Mamluks, and there are several Privy Council scholars with a smack of mouth, Mamluk's combat power is indeed amazing, but the Big Food Tribe has recruited nine legions, and five of them are slave legions, which shows that the extravagant life has made the martial arts of the Big Food Tribe more and more sluggish.

Sheng Buchan said: "Ten legions were requisitioned from the Turkic provinces, including six infantry legions, and there were ......."

The Turks are not all cavalry, but they are good at riding and shooting in close combat, and their combat effectiveness is more important to the privy councillors than the Great Food Legion, but when they heard the origin of the ten legions reported by Sheng Buchan, all the privy councillors showed subtle looks.

After the Turks were incorporated into the Great Eclipse, the original Khan's territory and the occupied Persian provinces were combined into Turkic provinces, but Amaiya IX was also cunning, subdividing the Turkic provinces into fifteen provinces - this is also as it should be, the administrative districts under the provinces are provinces, but this province is divided a little more, of course, the Turkic forces are also divided, and Amaiya IX also proposed seven or eight Turkic tribal chiefs and Turkic Berks as the pasha, that is, the governors of a province, according to the system, the provincial officials should be appointed by the governor, but the caliph also has the right to propose, The new governor of the Turkic provinces, the former Turkic khan, was thus held back by the caliph, and he had to deal with it regardless of whether or not any of the people proposed by Amaiya IX did not deal with him, otherwise his cronies would become gaps, and those who were not close would directly become enemies.

The ten Turkic legions dispatched by the "Southern Expeditionary Army" coincidentally came from the provincial armies under the jurisdiction of the Turkic Pasha proposed by the caliph. Obviously, this was the handiwork of the Turkic governor, who was excluding dissidents.

All the privy secretaries are silently pondering: Is this beneficial to Datang? Can I use it?

Sheng Buchan's slightly hoarse voice did not pause, "The provincial army was requisitioned from the Persian provinces, a total of ten infantry corps; Twenty-five corps of the vassal army were recruited, ten of which were drawn from the Anxi battlefield. A total of 100,000 provincial troops were requisitioned from the provinces of Mohd, Zianid, and Manin in North Africa to supplement the Anxi battlefield. ……

"The composition of the Navy, judging by the recent replenishment, both the Red Sea Fleet and the Gulf of Aden Fleet have exceeded the daily replenishment, to double or triple the replenishment, and the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden are the closest to Nansan. The Persian Gulf Fleet in the north is the strongest, but if you want to guard against our Datang's Nanyang Fleet, it should not go south. Therefore, it can be determined that the navy of the Great Food Southern Expeditionary Force should be the Red Sea Fleet and the Gulf of Aden Fleet. ”

Li Yuzhen sat loosely on the Zen chair, leaning on the back of the chair with a slender back, listening to the concise and capable report of the person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department in a slightly hoarse voice, her thin and cool eyes were half-constricted, and occasionally raised her eyebrows with a touch of sharp edge, which reminded people of the moment when the sword was unsheathed, at this time her cold eyes were looking at the map of Nanda Xizhou hanging on the opposite wall, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden are between the two subcontinents of Mae Sot and Africa, the Gulf of Aden is under the Red Sea, and the military port of Aden north of the mouth of the bay is 1,300 nautical miles away from the Tang Warship Port at the Cape of Storm. About 700 nautical miles from the coast of Morotto, the northernmost part of Nansan, Dashi will make a landing from Moroto if it wants to attack Nansan.

This was followed by a tactical analysis of the First Division of the General Staff Division.

One is the War Department, which has more than a dozen generals serving as operational staff officers, responsible for the analysis, formulation, and adjustment of strategies and tactics, and they are all generals in their fifties and sixties who have been selected from various armies, and compared with these old privy councillors over seventy years old, they are middle-aged generals; And the privy councillors are only responsible for decision-making, after all, they are old, although they have extremely high military literacy and rich command experience, but they have to use their brains, and they are not as good as these "middle-aged generals" in terms of flexibility and sensitivity - of course, the highest decision-maker is the emperor, and under this structure, even if the emperor is not good at military affairs, he only needs to follow the decisions of the privy council, and he will not make military mistakes, because here is the essence of the military command of the Tang Dynasty.

Qin Yingdeng, the Zhonglang General of the First Division of the Metropolitan Staff Department, is fifty-three years old this year, and was only promoted from deputy commander to Zhonglang General three years ago, a native of Hedong, with a burly figure and a deep voice, got up and saluted Li Yuzhen and sat down and said: "According to the tactical prediction before the regular meeting of the Privy Council, the Great Eclipse should attack our Nansang by sea and land: the army will be transported by sea to Zimbabik Province, and then by land to the south, attacking the northern border of Nansang; By sea, the naval fleet captured the east coast of Nansang, landed at Biputuo, Babane, Durban, and Umstad, and attacked Kaixia by four routes......"

Therefore, the east coast of the Nansan Governor's Palace is an important defensive area, and the construction of forts on these four landable coastlines is the first priority.

The east coast used to be the territory of the Bantu Kingdom and the Khoisan Kingdom, but there was no navy, and the invasion of the Great Food Army was not on the coast, but deep into the jungle after the shore, which was the main battlefield of the black kingdom, which could give full play to the advantages of rainforest warfare, so there was no castle on the east coast.

And before Nansang had four months, which was enough for the Tang Army's skilled engineering corps, the four sea forts built were not impregnable - the Tang Army never said that the city was impregnable, because the tactics advocated by the Tang Army were "the best defense is offense", so the most important thing for these four fortresses was not defense but strike power - the battery was the first thing, and after the appearance of artillery, the main firepower of the Tang Army to build the city fortress was the artillery position and battery.

After Qin Yingdeng analyzed the route of Da Shi's march, he then explained the firepower and deployment of the four sea forts of Biputuo, Babane, Durban, and Umsta on the east coast, and then analyzed the strength of Da Shi's two southern expedition fleets.

"Based on previous intelligence, it can be determined: both the Red Sea Fleet and the Gulf of Aden Fleet are already equipped with new battleships...... This will be the main threat to the warships of our army. ”

Qin Yingdeng said and made a gesture, a combat staff officer got up to open the organ, and saw that the long case of the kettle door in the center of the pavilion was hung up by four slings, rising straight to a height of one zhang, and the floor where the kettle door case was originally placed had been split into four pieces, standing up on the east, west, north and south sides, forming a horizontal fence.

Li Yuzhen and all the privy secretaries stood up, walked to the "horizontal railing", and looked down.

Under the horizontal railing, one and a half zhang apart, is the pool at the bottom of the pavilion, and on the enclosed water, there are forty or fifty model battleships arranged according to the battle array, there are Tang Army battleships, there are also big food battleships, and the sails of the mainmast are marked with eye-catching numbers in red and blue - that is the model of the battleship.

The ray machine in Qin Yingdeng's hand shot out a red line and landed on the tallest warship, and his voice was a little excited:

"Your Highness, please see, this is the ...... of the Supreme Dao"

Zhidao is the name of the current emperor.

***

The June sea breeze is salty, wet and hot, the sails are as strong as a stretched bow, and the sea is stormy, like wild horses, looking down from the towering mast whistle, there is a more thrilling feeling, as if the soul is floating on the clouds.

Wei Yingji has been at sea for five years, leaving the poetry and wine of Chang'an, and entering the naval fleet as a civilian, he has gradually become familiar with this unrealistic life at sea.

Although it is not the first time that he has been taken to the mast by the Admiral, the majesty of the sky and the sea, and the power of the stormy waves, still make his heart shake and he can't help himself, those feelings and sorrows buried deep in his heart, and his love for Yu Xuanji are all like wild horses in this whistling sea breeze, galloping and going away.

This is the Zhidao, the latest flagship of the First Fleet of the Western Navy, Admiral Li Mole likes to sit on the high mast sentry platform to write poems, saying that it is only poetic in the stormy clouds, as the fleet room in the army to write words and record the words and deeds of the Admiral, Wei Yingji was once again taken for granted by Admiral Li, unscrewed the ink blotting pen tied to the metal chain with the military attache and rotated the cap, and the brush brush to write down the poems sung by the Admiral, and then the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

"The vast west sea is full of waves, and the waves sweep the world into the east. Wind and rain across the two continents, and there are thunders to travel far. ”

After being held by Admiral Li and falling from the high mast, Wei Yingji felt the soles of his boots step on the solid oak plank, and then he felt that his heart had been fulfilled, and he heard the Admiral ask him very humbly, "How is this poem?" In terms of military rank and official position, Admiral Li is far above Wei Ji's room; In terms of poetry, the distance between Admiral Li and Wei Ji's room was like a deck to a mast - the sailors around him all giggled and laughed, Wei Yingji was silent for a moment, and said: "Admiral is magnificent. ”

…… I can only say that I am bold.

Li Mole raised his face and laughed, "Hahaha! It's good to have courage! ”

The big white teeth that were exposed made his face darker, and the admiral's robe with white lapels was worn on him, which was more black and white: white was clothes, and black was people.

Lee Mole is of non-black descent.

His ancestor was "Monk Slave", that is, the Tang people's name for the non-Canadian slaves trafficked by the big food merchants.

After Emperor Gaozong "abolished slavery", the Tang people were not allowed to be slaves, and the domestic slaves and maids were all hired workers who signed contracts, but the powerful and rich of the Tang Dynasty were also cunning, so they raised black slaves in the South China Sea - because the South China Sea Islands are called Kunlun, these dwarf blacks are collectively called Kunlun slaves - anyway, they are not Tang people, and they do not violate the ban; So there were big food merchants who captured the benefits of this, and started a large trade in non-Canadian black slaves, buying from black chiefs, and trading black prisoners of war from the big food army, and shipping them to the Tang Dynasty to double and sell, Li Mole's ancestors were the Zimba tribal warriors captured by the big food army to invade the Zimbak Kingdom.

And when it came to Emperor Muzong, he issued an edict again to "abolish slavery", this time it was a complete abolition of slavery, whether Tang nationality or foreigners, they were not allowed to sell as slaves, and those who had become slaves had to be paid monthly wages, and after five years, they must be released, if they continued to serve, they must be changed to hired workers, Li Mole's ancestors were released at that time, and they got the status of Tang commoners, and they used the family property accumulated in a lifetime for their children and grandchildren to study, and when they arrived at Zhaozong, they became a general - after graduating from the Fuzhou Naval Academy and entered the Oriental Fleet, In Zhaozong's war to open up and establish the East China Sea Protectorate, he repeatedly made meritorious contributions, upgraded step by step, became the captain of a fleet, and then transferred to the newly established Nanyang Navy, accumulated meritorious service, and was promoted to the top of the three products, the champion general, and became the first general born in the "monk slave", Zhaozong rewarded his merits and gave the country surname, so Li Mole's family became the "first general" of non-Canadian origin in the Tang Dynasty.
