When he came to Chiwu Town, Fang Chongyong met the busy Wang Zhonghei.

In his impression, those military officers should be playing with big knives when they are idle.

But when he saw Wang Zhongji this time, he found that his father-in-law was ...... Read the paperwork.

At this moment, in the hall of the Yamen of the Chishui Army, there are still a few people dressed as monks, translating the Tubo text on the table into Chinese.

After they finished translating one, Wang Zhongsi read one, and the entire lobby became a "copy room", so quiet that it could be heard on the tip of a needle.

"Just take a look."

Wang Zhonghe's eyes didn't leave the paper in his hand, and he said very casually.

As for Dr. Li, who was in a wheelchair, he was not allowed to enter here at all, and was still waiting outside the yamen to receive him.

"It's ......"

Fang Chongyong hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of paper and looked at it, and soon knew the key points.

"After the soldiers bravely defeated the enemy and verified the truth, the generals should reward them in time."

"If the commanders and generals escape on the battlefield, the prison army will desperately pursue them. If he is caught, the reward for his bravery is given according to the law. ”

"If you are trapped by the enemy, send a messenger to the barracks to report for help, and if the general who receives the message does not send help, the general will be punished."

……

This is obviously one military law after another, but the writing is slightly peculiar, and it is similar to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Chongyong looked confused, and asked with some doubts: "This is a translated military law?" Isn't it the military order of the Tibetans? ”

"That's right, before Cui Jieshuai broke the Tubo people and captured a complete Tubo military law. Now the monks who can translate it into Chinese have also been found, and they are now translating these military laws.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

Wang Zhongsi laughed, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The Tibetan people have a written history of more than 100 years, and even more can be traced back hundreds of years.

According to legend, in view of the fact that Tubo wants to develop the economy, it is completely impossible to do without its own writing, so he sent 16 people including the minister Tumi Sambuza to Tianzhu (India) to study and apprentice.

After returning to Tibet, he imitated the Sanskrit "Lanza script", combined with the Tibetan pronunciation, created the Tibetan block script, and created the Tibetan cursive script according to the "Urdu script".

It is the blueprint of the Tibetan language, and after a hundred years of development, it has become a system of its own.

But some people say that what Songtsen Gampo did was just to sort it out, and the history of writing in Tibet is very early.

But in any case, this military law of the Tubo people not only shows that the military discipline of the Tubo army is strict, and the rewards and punishments are clear.

Moreover, it can also show that the construction of their domestic political and military system has become a self-contained system, and it is not a barbarian who only knows how to plunder as outsiders understand.

It can also prove that it is no accident that the Tubo army can wrestle with the Tang Dynasty in Longyou, Hexi, and it is not just by consuming manpower and blood!

The Tubo army is a strong force that can be equal to the Tang army on the battlefield, and it is a top player of the same level militarily, far surpassing the Turkic, Khitan and other nomadic peoples who have been beaten by the Tang Dynasty before.

Niu Cyclamen's sentence "The matter of Hexi is only in Tibet" is indeed a pertinent evaluation!

"Take a look at it, the military law of the Tubo people also has a lot of merits. The so-called stone of the mountain can be used to attack jade, and there is no harm in learning more. ”

Wang Zhongsi put down the paper in his hand, sorted out the papers scattered on the table in order, handed them to Fang Chongyong, and continued: "I know you have something, wait first, I still have military affairs to deal with, and it's not too late to talk about it in the evening." ”

After speaking, he walked straight out of the lobby, leaving Fang Chongyong alone here to read the military law of the Tubo army.

There are not many soldiers, but refinement; It will not be brave, but conspiracy.

Wang Zhongsi's thinking is very clear, instead of practicing physical strength without a head or brain, it is better to take a good opportunity to learn more about the "law" in the art of war.

If people are not bound by rules, they are like wild beasts gathering together. If the stubborn Qiu Ba were not bound by military law, how terrible their destructive power would be, and they could guess it with their toes.

Understanding the military law of the Tibetan people is a way to understand the thinking of the Tibetan army in war. In the Tang Dynasty, only aliens could pick opponents, and the Tang Dynasty border army could not pick opponents, and anyone who provoked would be killed, including the Tubo people.

So what Wang Zhongsi asked Fang Chongyong to do now is to desperately learn the technique of saving his life!

"Keep watching."

Fang Chongyong sighed to himself and said, his mood was a little heavy. The shadow of Tibet shrouded the land west of the river, and it could not be relieved for a moment.

Soon, Fang Chongyong saw regulations that were very different from those in the Tang Dynasty Military Law!

"The construction of the castle and the installation of the sangxia must be reported to the members of the royal family and completed on time."

"If it is not completed on time, Chief Nangxia will be punished."

"In the land of Nangxia, there are a large number of livestock such as military horses. If there is no major disease, but there is a major disease through the mouth of local minor disease, we will find out the cause and scatter it. ”

"If the war is tense and the enemy is approaching, if it is expected that the enemy cannot be stopped, the cattle under the management of the Nangxia must be driven and protected without damage, and whether the crops and houses are burned or retained, etc., must be questioned."

In such military laws, the institution "Nangxia" is mentioned, and in Fang Chongyong's view, it should be the Tubo army responsible for building military camps and castles during wartime; An integrated logistics organization that manages property, livestock, including booty.

As far as Fang Chongyong knew, there was no similar counterpart in the Datang local government, and there was no one in the army. It can be said that this is the unique way of organizing the Tibetan people in order to deal with the war.

Seeing this, Fang Chongyong suddenly felt that this trip was not in vain!

The "engineering troops" of the Tibetans are in charge of logistics, that is, they have special "combat units."

This is obviously different from the rumored way that the Tubo people rushed to war, and all the tribes of men, women, and children went into battle at every turn.

That is to say, the degree of military specialization of the other side is not much worse than that of the Tang Dynasty, and some parts are even more suitable for the actual situation of the battlefield, and it is far superior to the Turkic, Hui, Khitan and other steppe peoples.

Fang Chongyong began to immerse himself, reading these translated Tubo military methods, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt a chill in his back.

"In wartime, the soldiers and horses are all based on the sound of the snail horn or drum. When the day is fought, the wrangler should tie his horse to the camp and place it behind the place where the soldiers are. The night war horse can be disconnected, but it cannot be dispersed. ”

"If it is suspected that it will be attacked at night, according to the order of Ruben, choose a steep place to defend it according to the terrain, and arrange exploration horses, sentry posts, etc. The horses were also tied with stumbling ropes. Rangers are required to carry shields, bow and arrows and armor, and so on to prepare for battle. ”

"Camp at night, and if the terrain is wide, prepare for battle, and confine the horse in the camp. If the terrain is narrow, two or three intervals are set up to fortify. At night, the garrison should be built two arrows apart from each other, and wooden fences should be erected on the stacks to occupy a good position. ”

One after another, every word hit Fang Chongyong's heart, so that he didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't dare to miss even a word.

These military orders have already involved the distinction and rewards and punishments of desertion behaviors on the battlefield, the level of punishment and rewards, the military law of the garrison camp in night battles, the sentry detection system, the management of war horses, and so on!

Some regulations can even be used as the art of war. There are many things that Fang Chongyong has never heard of, never seen, and can't think of at all!

It's all in there! Only the unexpected, nothing unmentioned!

In Fang Chongyong's heart, the words "terrifying" suddenly surged up, and they did not disperse for a long time.

Looking at the leopard in the cave, it can be seen that the Tubo people have formulated such strict military laws, so that on the battle array, all kinds of behaviors are based on the law.

How can such an army be easy to deal with!

This is a tightly organized, orderly version of the bandits!

It was getting dark, and there were already sergeants lighting torches in the lobby, and after a long time, Fang Chongyong stretched his waist and reluctantly put down the translation of the military law formulated by these Tubo people.

Hexi is too big, the Western Regions is too big, Tubo is too strong, and the power of individuals is too small!

All the bold words and empty eyes were extinguished by this military law that integrated the essence of the Tibetan military system.

At this moment, Fang Chongyong saw that Wang Zhongsi had already led Doctor Li in, and when he saw Fang Chongyong's expression, he knew that the other party must have learned a lot of new things from it.

"Don't be arrogant, and don't be arrogant. Let's go have a bite to eat and then go to the study to talk about it. ”

Wang Zhongsi said with an indifferent face.

"Got my father-in-law."

Fang Chongyong saluted respectfully.

"In the Chishui Army, you still call me the Wang Military Envoy, after all, you are also the deputy military envoy of the Baiting Army."

Wang Zhongsi rarely teased Fang Chongyong.

"The Tubo people are powerful, and I, the envoy of the Baiting Army who doesn't do anything, really deserve to tremble and walk on thin ice."

Fang Chongyong smiled helplessly.

"It's good to understand, let's go."

Wang Zhongsi was obviously very satisfied with Fang Chongyong's humility, and walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Fang Chongyong pushed Dr. Li's wheelchair, ignoring the flattered medic officer, his face was full of horror. Fang Chongyong took him to the study of Wang Zhonghe's residence.

……

The food in the army really doesn't taste good. Accustomed to eating the food cooked by Anaya every day, Fang Chongyong doubted his life with this meal, and it was hard to imagine how those Qiu Ba people lived day after day.

But since Wang Zhongji didn't say anything, he couldn't talk about it. After hastily finishing the meal, Medical Officer Li took out the clay pot containing the hemostatic bag and handed it to Wang Zhongsi at the signal of Fang Chongyong.

"Seal your mouth with fire paint."

Wang Zhongsi picked it up and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

As an envoy of the First Army, of course, you will not be ignorant of what is required for logistics. According to Fang Chongyong's introduction, the contents of this clay pot are actually all common things in the army.

Before each battle of the Tang Army, the quartermaster would buy medicinal herbs locally, and when the linen strips were boiled in boiling water, they were packed in boxes for later use.

Now this thing is strange in front of me at two points.

The first is that it can be prepared in advance and stored for a long time for military supplies.

The second is the medicinal materials inside, there is still residual medicinal power after semi-carbonization, and the hemostatic effect is better!

Small objects, big effects, and mass production, there is no difficulty, and can be promoted in the Hexi area and even the entire Tang border town!

"This thing is very good, it's rare that you have a heart!"

Wang Zhongsi looked at Fang Chongyong with satisfaction and exclaimed, he was 100% satisfied with this future son-in-law!

"It's just a trivial matter, and with this, you can't win against the Tubo people."

Fang Chongyong said embarrassedly, originally he still had some thoughts of showing off, but after seeing the military law of the Tubo people, he no longer dared to offer treasures in front of Wang Zhonghe.

To be honest, relying on this thing, there is really no way to defeat the Tubo people. It can only be said that talking is better than nothing.

"Eh, what's that called? Victories are all built up little by little. For example, some time ago, Ri Ling offered to write a letter home to the sergeants and soldiers, and now I see that the morale of the Chishui army is high, and the role you play is not dispensable.

Writing a letter home is a small step, and this hemostatic jar is another small step. Because of your performance, our Hexi Frontier Army is moving forward step by step, accumulating victory for victory, how can it be useless? ”

Wang Zhongsi laughed.

"Father-in-law, can you lend me a copy of this military law of the Tubo people, I want to study it."

Fang Chongyong asked very sincerely.

"It's okay, just take it, I've seen it anyway and know what's going on."

Wang Zhongsi said very generously.

The military law of the Tubo people is a "dimensionality reduction strike" for Fang Chongyong, because Fang Chongyong is a little clever layman in military affairs. But Wang Zhongsi is an old general, so he naturally knows the pros and cons of many military laws.

The military law of the Tibetan people is not bad, but it is too detailed and too strict, and the implementation may not be as good as imagined.

Moreover, complex military laws require a certain level of cultural literacy to be enforced. The illiteracy rate of the Tubo people is much higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Zhonghei feels that the military law of the Tang Dynasty also needs to be "implemented flexibly" many times, not to mention the Tubo people.

Originally, he wanted to break this point, but he always felt that letting Fang Chongyong figure it out by himself would inspire his ability to think independently.

"Any complex military law is also useless if the people below cannot enforce it effectively.

The combat effectiveness of the various departments of Tubo is not the same, and through their banners, it can be judged which part of the soldiers and horses of the Tubo people is as good as the sixty-one Dongdai.

Soldiers and horses with different divisions and banners have different combat effectiveness, and the degree of enforcement of military law is also different.

If you have the opportunity to learn these things in the future, you can learn them slowly. ”

Wang Zhongsi instructed earnestly.

"Thank you, father-in-law, I'll definitely think about it."

Fang Chongyong crossed his hand and saluted.

"Go, it's not good to spend the night in the barracks, I'll send someone to escort you back to Liangzhou City."

Wang Zhongsi is a simple person, and he sends guests away with a wave of his hand.

"Father-in-law...... The Tubo people have lost the new city, and they will not give up. The water system in Tibet is underdeveloped and cannot be transported by ship, so they may need time to mobilize troops. However, once they dispatch their troops and horses, the Hexi front line will definitely be stormy!

Please also ask your father-in-law to prepare early! ”

Fang Chongyong said worriedly.

He didn't understand the specific march and battle, but the geographical overview, the strategic situation between countries, the gains and losses of the Tang Army and the Tubo Army in the past, and the distribution of the front line, Fang Chongyong has now figured it out.

Judging from the current situation, the Tubo people seem to be holding back their big moves, and it is very likely that they will fully invade Longyou, Hexi, in the winter season.

If you succeed, you will conquer the city, and if you lose, you will reduce the population. By the way, in Hexi and Longyou, which are warmer and lower at altitude, and more suitable for survival, they spend the harsh winter.

This move can be described as a lot of wonders, Fang Chongyong feels that he can think of things, it is impossible for the Tubo people to think of it!

"In winter, you stay in Liangzhou City, just don't go out and run around. These things that the border army only have to think about, it's not your turn to worry about. ”

Wang Zhongsi waved his hand, of course he knew the movements of the Tubo people, but there was no need to tell Fang Chongyong one by one.

Life and death, life and wealth are in the sky, they are all men who lick blood from the knife edge, where is there any safety at all? On the battle array, everyone competes in skill and luck!

"Go, you have to make a contribution, it's still early!"

Wang Zhongsi laughed and patted Fang Chongyong's shoulder hard, causing the latter to stumble and bow in embarrassment.

The latest results of historical journal literature, no need to thank me.
