"The first is our next policy issue. We will spread our plan to Tibet through herdsmen. All herdsmen who enter Xizhou will be our Tang Dynasty people after registration. They will be given cattle, sheep and horses. field."
"The second is the issue of garrison. My idea is to use Murong Shun to take back part of the land currently occupied by Tibet." Li Ke glanced at everyone and said.
"Which ones are you grabbing?" Xue Wanche asked.
Li Ke stood up, and Yang Anning, who was waiting behind, immediately walked over and lifted up a pair of silk hanging behind Li Ke.
After lifting the silk cloth, everyone was stunned for a moment. There was a huge map drawn on rice paper hanging there, showing the territory of Tubo, Xizhou, Longyou Road and part of the Tang Dynasty on the east side of Tubo.
"Now the actual territory controlled by Tubo is here." Li Ke drew a circle on the map. The dividing line between Tibet and Qinghai in later generations was the Kunlun Mountains, but the territory occupied by Tubo in this world is larger than that of Tibet. Kunlun The mountain was within the control of Tibet, which controlled part of what would later become Qinghai Province.
"What we have to do is to seize back this part of the territory, and then make the dividing line between Tubo and us use this line as the boundary." Li Ke drew an arc on the map.
"Your Highness, are you talking about the Kunlun Mountains?" Li Daozong immediately understood what Li Ke meant.
"Yes! If the north of the Kunlun Mountains is our control area, then it means that we only need to control these few limited points to restrict the Tibetan army! Most areas of the Kunlun Mountains are impassable, and only these few You can pass through many points, and the most important one is here, which I named Tanggula Pass." Li Ke pointed to the location of Tanggula Pass.
He doesn't bother to care what this world is called, he just does what he wants. He is the Protector of Xizhou, he has the final say.
Xue Wanche and others looked at the map carefully, and then nodded: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. These locations do control all the important places that came out of Tibet. If Your Highness can use this kind of city-building technology to build a stronghold locally, City, which means that the threat of Tibet will be completely gone."
"Building a city is not difficult, and the scale does not need to be too large. 1,000 meters square is enough. Even if you find a good pass, a city wall can block most of it." Li Ke nodded, "But actually, I don't want to build a city wall. ."
"Why is this?" Xue Wanjun asked curiously.
"Because I want to find an opportunity to completely eliminate Tubo within a few years." Li Ke shook his head.
solve it completely? Everyone was stunned for a moment. Tubo is different from Tuyuhun. Some areas of Tuyuhun are plateaus, but the altitude in many places is not bad, so it is no problem to fight in the Tang Dynasty. However, the climate and environment in Tubo are really harsh. If you want to completely The probability of capturing Tubo is very difficult.
"This is not easy. However, if His Highness can train an army composed of Tuyuhun people in a few years, it will not be difficult to capture Tubo." Xue Wanche added, "Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not adapted to the local area. Due to the climate, a considerable number of casualties were caused by the environment during General Li and General Hou's southern battle."
"Yes." Li Daozong nodded, "Even I, after going to those higher-lying places, I felt dizzy and my head hurt for the first few days. Many soldiers never woke up after getting sick. The non-combat attrition is at least 800. Our combat effectiveness has dropped sharply."
"No, go to the army to attack the enemy. You are not a king when you use soldiers, just use your mouth." Li Ke shook his head.
Li Daozong: "?"
Xue Wanche and others: "??"
"We'll talk about this later. In terms of troop deployment, you generals have considered that the number of people stationed in these places does not need to be too many. They are mainly cavalry. Three thousand to five thousand people can be stationed. Mainly stationed at these points, the next task is if There are Tibetan herdsmen entering Xizhou, you all pretend not to see it, but if anyone blocks them, kill them." Li Ke clicked on a few key points on the map.
"Murong Shun will cooperate with you in this regard. I have sent someone to send a message to Murong Shun. After the herdsmen pass the relevant news to Tubo, Murong Shun will directly clear out all the nobles in the area north of the Kunlun Mountains."
"Now that the Tang Dynasty has won a great victory and our troops are in full swing, Songtsen Gampo may not dare to take action. Besides, when the news reaches the Tubo court, he makes a decision and sends troops. If he comes, I will dare to let him There is no return." Li Ke sneered.
Now that Xizhou's industrial system has been initially established, if he dares to take action, Li Ke will dare to teach him how to behave.
What's more, Tubo failed to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty several times.
"Yes!" Li Daozong and others all said yes.
"Then let's talk about the internal restructuring. Let me show you this." Li Ke waved his hand, and Yang Anning brought up a prepared tray and handed one to everyone.
Li Daozong and others picked up the paper with some curiosity. The quality of the paper was very good, and it was filled with various handwriting and patterns.
The two biggest words in the middle are: food stamps!
"What are these food stamps for?" Li Daozong and others were a little confused.
"This is very useful." Li Ke smiled strangely, "Because in the future, at construction sites and other places, I will no longer prepare meals for them, but will instead distribute food directly to them. Let them go home and cook and bring their own food.”
"After the transportation of food during this period, there is no shortage at all. Similarly, there is no shortage of fish at all. Several fish ponds have been dug near the Red Sea to temporarily raise the fish that were caught."
"And I plan to place these locations around Qinghai Lake."
"In addition, I will also provide burlap, fine linen and other clothes to these herdsmen, and these can be exchanged for food stamps."
"The reason for this is very simple. Among the hundreds of thousands of herdsmen in Tuyuhun, except for some old people and children left to graze in their own homes, the rest of them may need to work for me." Li Ke He said calmly.
"This...can we afford it? We don't have that much money." Li Daozong and others were a little surprised.
"What do you think?" Li Ke glanced at the people around him and then asked with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other a little bit, and Xue Wanche and the others felt that they couldn't afford to hire him.
"Your Highness, can I say something?" Li Xin, who was sitting there, suddenly said.
"Say." Li Ke looked over. Li Yan and Li Xin were sitting together, but it was Li Xin who spoke. Li Yan couldn't tell anything from her face. She was just taking notes seriously.
"I think I can afford it," Li Xin said.
"Come, come over here and tell them." Li Ke waved to Li Xin.
Li Xin is also very courageous. Anyway, since the third brother is here and the third brother is the boss, others will naturally not have any objections.
