"Master Lu Tian, Commander Ji, there is still a problem here." Duan Xiushi said.
Feng Changqing then introduced: "Master Lu Tianshi, this is Chang Qing's subordinate officer, Cang Cao joins the army, Duan Xiushi."
"Are you Duan Xiushi?" Lu Xiaoning nodded and said, he was about to say that I know you are also a famous general in the Zhongtang Dynasty, but he realized what he said and quickly changed his words, "I have seen you in Tianban."
"What?" Duan Xiushi was stunned when he heard this. What did Lu Tianshi mean by this?
Lu Xiaoning then smiled and said, "You, Feng Changqing, and Li Siye are all descendants of the Martial Arts Star Lord."
There was an uproar among the civil and military officials in the tent. Everyone looked at Duan Xiushi with envious eyes. Only Cen Shen looked reserved and thought, so what if Lord Wu Quxing comes to earth? I am Wenquxingjun.
Duan Xiushi was surprised and happy, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
But there was still something to say at this moment, so he immediately crossed his hands and said: "To Master Lu, Bian Lingcheng volunteered to come to Quy Nhon Army to prepare the food and grass needed for the army a month ago. However, after Xiu Shi verified, the food and grass prepared by Bian Lingcheng could only support the army for one day. It will be needed for a month, but the battle to destroy Tibet will take at least three months, and there is still a big gap."
Cen Shen said: "Even if the number is urgent enough, it will be difficult to exchange for cattle, sheep and horses."
"Oops, I forgot about this." Feng Changqing's face fell instantly.
When Bian Lingcheng came to deliver supplies, Feng Changqing was unhappy, but he couldn't stop him at all.
Because Bian Lingcheng is from the palace and was sent by the saint to supervise the army in Anxi. Who dares to stop him?
The atmosphere in the dental tent instantly became solemn again, and everyone could not hide their disappointment. Could such a huge military achievement be missed? That would be a shame.
However, Lu Xiaoning got what he wanted.
He was dozing off, so Duan Xiushi handed him a pillow.
Doesn’t this just give him an opportunity to carry out the agrarian revolution in the Great and Little Bolu Kingdoms?
At that moment, Lu Xiaoning asked Duan Xiushi: "Duan Xiushi, how much rations are needed to support the 50,000 Anxi Army for three months of operations? If converted into cattle, sheep and horses, how many horses are needed?"
Duan Xiushi said: "Fifty thousand people need a ration of at least 90,000 dan for three months. It is difficult to estimate the amount of cattle, sheep and horses, because there has never been such an example before."
At this time, Cen Shen stood up and said, "We can still make an estimate."
Since coming to Anxi to join the army, Cen Shen has really grown a lot and mastered a lot of knowledge.
After a pause, Cen Shen continued: "A ewe can milk about one and a half liters a day, a cow can milk about twenty liters a day, a mare can milk about fifteen liters, fifty thousand sheep or five thousand The milk from a cow or six to seven thousand mares is enough to meet the daily needs of an army of fifty thousand. Of course, ewes, cows, or mares are necessary."
Li Siye said: "I'm afraid it's not enough to just drink milk. We still have to prepare some food."
Cen Shen said: "It is enough to prepare 30,000 shi of grain in this way, and there is no need to recruit civilians to transport the grain. The cows or mares grazing with the army can be responsible for the transportation."
Feng Changqing said: "If you expect the enemy to be wide, you still need 60,000 shi of grain, and you need to prepare three times the number of cattle and sheep. At least 50,000 ewes, 5,000 cows and 10,000 mares are needed at the same time." , the surprise troops to bypass Qiangtang will need at least 8,000 armors, and an additional 24,000 war horses."
Duan Xiushi said: "Such a large army still lacks 30,000 shi of grain, 40,000 sheep, 4,000 cattle and 25,000 horses. Moreover, it also needs to exchange ewes, cows and mares with the herdsmen of Dabolu and Xiaobolu." OK."
"This..." Li Siye said, "How can we prepare for such a big gap in such a short time?"
Cen Shen also said: "If we are transferred from Qiuci, Shule, and Khotan towns, it will take at least half a year."
At this time, Lu Xiaoning said calmly: "This matter is not difficult to handle. Let Xiaobolu and Dabolu provide them. Not to mention 30,000 dan of grain and 60,000 to 70,000 cattle, sheep and horses. It won't be twice as much." The question is, according to my observation, the royal families and nobles of the Great and Little Bolu Kingdoms all have considerable savings."
After talking so much, Lu Xiaoning finally brought the topic to the agrarian revolution.
Oh, no, this is not an agrarian revolution, but an agrarian revolution plus a pastoralist revolution.
Because both the Great Bolu Kingdom and the Little Bolu Kingdom were semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic serfdoms.
Agrarian revolution is the fundamental solution to financial problems, but it is too difficult to directly implement agrarian revolution in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and it will inevitably lead to resistance from Li Longji. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt the strategy of first easy and then difficult, and to encircle the central government from the frontier. The border vassal countries that Longji didn't care much about implemented agrarian revolution and pastoral revolution.
Let’s first liberate the slaves in the Big Bolü Kingdom and the Little Bolü Kingdom.
"Huh?" After hearing this, Feng Changqing, Li Siye and others couldn't help but be stunned.
Does Master Lu Tianshi mean to directly rob the royal family and nobles of the Great Bolü Country and the Little Bolü Country?
Soon, Feng Changqing reacted first and removed the barbarian Khans, kings, kings and nobles such as Ado Pero and Weishi Yao from the Yazhang, because these barbarians could no longer participate in the subsequent discussions.
After sending Wei Shiyao and others away, Feng Changqing said: "Master Lu Tianshi, Mencius said, benevolence is important in small matters. We, the Tang Dynasty, have always been obedient to Xiaobolu's country. Dabolu has also taken the initiative to surrender. At this time, we will no longer plunder its royal family for no reason." As well as the Makiguchi property of the big and small nobles, I am afraid that it is somewhat unjustifiable morally, and it will also make the Anxi countries have different intentions."
Lu Xiaoning said coldly: "Little Bolu Kingdom may be quite respectful to the Tang Dynasty, but it is extremely harsh on the people in the country. I have observed in the past half month that all the people in Xiaobolu Kingdom are not fully clothed. Moreover, if there is anything wrong with the food, they will kill them at every turn, or cut off their hands and feet, or even skin the children and make them into human skin thangkas. The Xiaobolu royal family and the nobles are so cruel to the people, this kind of tyranny, Shouldn’t it be overturned?”
"Ah? Overthrow the tyranny?" Feng Changqing, Li Siye and other generals were dumbfounded.
As a scholar, Cen Shen deeply agreed with Lu Tianshi's point of view.
At that moment, Cen Shen echoed: "Mencius said that the people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least. King Xiaobolu and the big and small nobles of Xiaobolu have exploited the people of the country so hard. This kind of tyranny should really be overthrown."
Lu Xiaoning said: "Not only the tyranny of the Little Bolu Kingdom, but also the Big Bolu Kingdom must be overthrown."
Feng Changqing hesitated for a moment, then said: "But Master Lu Tian, have you ever thought about it. If we rob the royal family and nobles of the Big and Little Bolu Kingdom, even if we can get temporary needs, what will happen in the long term? Without the big and small Bolu royal family and nobles, With this support, it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to defend it unless a large number of troops are stationed here."
Li Siye then said: "However, the Big and Little Bolus Mountains are high and far away, and the Tang Dynasty simply does not have the ability to station a large number of troops here. As soon as the Anxi army withdraws, the royal nobles of the Big and Little Boluts will inevitably come back, and the small number of defenders left behind will probably be difficult to cope with. , then our Anxi Army will be overwhelmed and exhausted."
Feng Changqing and Li Siye's worries cannot be said to be unreasonable.
But the two of them completely failed to see the power of the people at the bottom.
They have no idea how powerful the people at the bottom can be once they are organized.
But Lu Xiaoning knows that when dynasties change, the people are the real driving force.
Lu Xiaoning said: "This matter can be easily handled. Part of the land, pastures, cattle, sheep and horses obtained from the Big and Little Bolu royal family and nobles should be distributed to the lower-class slaves, and then these lower-class slaves should be given the status of Han citizens. , from now on, there will be no big or small Bolü people in this land, but only Han people."
"Ah? This?" Feng Changqing, Li Siye and others were stunned again.
But it was just shock, and there was no resistance.
Because the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, there was no discrimination against the Hu people.
Lu Xiaoning continued: "Not only the Dabolu people and the Xiaobolu people, but after the Tubo was conquered, the entire Tubo people in Weizang were also given the status of Han people. In fact, they and the Han people originally had the same ancestry. This was just a matter of acknowledging their ancestors." It’s just a sect. From now on, all people in the Tang Dynasty will be Han people, and there will be no distinction between Han and Yi in the world."
Cen Shen said: "Master Lu Tianshi's strategy can determine the foundation of eternity, but... Big and small Bolu, Yangtong and even the Tubo people are already accustomed to speaking their own language. The Tubo people even have their own writing, and the gods they believe in are also They are so different from us Han people, I’m afraid it’s hard to identify with Han culture.”
"You don't have to worry about this, Yala Xiangbo Mountain God will give them oracles." Lu Xiaoning said with a smile, "Yala Xiangbo Mountain God is their supreme god."
