Of course, another purpose of Li Ke sending the second generation of these ministers to the Western Regions was to squeeze Fang Xuanling's labor force.
These ministers have all learned to show off their work, and forget about it if they show up badly at work. After all, they are all trying their best.
But your son is thousands of miles away and is taking on such an important responsibility for the first time. You don’t want your son to have problems in office, right? If you don't want to cause problems, how can you manage these places with all your heart?
They have nothing to do to write you letters home, but you are not allowed to teach them about the problems they encounter.
It never hurts to put in more effort, otherwise what would be the use of all this energy? Hard work is always the right thing! If they keep doing this, it’s not like they won’t be without benefits! Li Ke guarantees that their status will definitely be higher than their original status in history books!
This is the promise Li Ke gave them! Although they don't know this promise!
As for the war in the entire Western Region, Li Ke was not worried. The 50,000 elite cavalry were said to be cavalry, but in fact they could also dismount and fight on foot! Providing them with war horses is just to make them go faster! Of course they can dismount and fight directly if necessary! This is not difficult!
These 50,000 troops were enough for the Tang Dynasty to sweep across the Western Regions!
You must know that during the peak period of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Region Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty controlled the entire Xinjiang to Persia, including Kazakhstan and other vast areas, with only 30,000 troops, but now it is 50,000!
enough!
What's more, they will have other troops gradually follow up, that is, the Ministry of Public Security.
The current staff of the Ministry of Public Security are called security corps. Since it is an army, it is normal to have troops.
In the future, local governments will be called security forces, and then a special security force will be established. Isn’t this a normal operation? The security army is naturally to maintain local security. From now on, all matters within Datang that require the use of soldiers will be handed over to them.
The Tang Dynasty's external army was mainly responsible for external operations.
Completely separate the functions of both parties.
Well, I'll discuss it with my father some other time. The main reason is that the Ministry of Public Security has been established very smoothly. It can be said that it is the smoothest restructuring among the various departments in Datang.
Mainly due to the training of the Fubing system before the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Public Security and the security departments at all levels below are now composed of Fubing, retired school captains, and transferred captains.
For example, some county-level security departments can be filled by former captains of the government, which makes the organization of the security department smooth. In addition, if you join the public security department and become a security army, you will have monthly income and can support your family, so These retired soldiers naturally have no pressure.
Recruitment for security departments in almost every place is very smooth.
The establishment of security departments throughout Datang was naturally the smoothest.
…
When Li Ke took care of these officials in Chang'an, Ju Wentai didn't know that his Gaochang already had a new owner. His Royal Highness King Qin, who was far away in the Tang Dynasty, had already arranged the future officials of Gaochang for him.
If he knew this, he probably wouldn't be so arrogant.
"No, we can't just retreat like this. Let's besiege the city for a few days and see what's going on with the other side. If that doesn't work, we'll retreat directly. But we have to trouble General Anda first. You need to release the scouts first. Look at this. Is there an army of Tang Dynasty approaching behind Yiwu City?" Ju Wentai still made a decision.
I, the majestic king of Gaochang Kingdom, beat people from countless small kingdoms such as Yanqi and Yiwu around me to the point of calling them daddy. How could I be a clown? impossible! Absolutely impossible!
So Ju Wentai planned to stay here for a few more days and then withdraw his troops directly.
That's right, he is ready to withdraw his troops and is not ready to attack again! He thought very thoroughly. He only had so many people in his hands, but just one tentative attack resulted in more than a thousand casualties! How many times can he attack?
It is estimated that all the people will be dead before they can attack the city wall. If all the soldiers die, won't Gaochang become the food on the Turks' chopping block? He, Ju Wentai, planned to use the Turks to attack some territories to expand Gaochang's territory, but he never thought of putting himself in the mouths of the Turks.
As one of the countries in the Western Regions, Ju Wentai knows the Turks very well. These nomadic people are capricious villains.
Or to be precise, these Turkic people in power are capricious villains! There was no way, their Khan was replaced too quickly. And for them, survival is the most important thing, and reputation is not very important.
However, many ordinary Turks are quite reputable.
Although Ju Wentai knew that he might be embarrassed this time, he was not a fool.
Let Anda send out scouts to explore the road, naturally because he wants the Turks to attract some attention, and if Anda does not want to be wiped out by the Tang army, he will definitely do his best.
This stupid Turkic general looked down upon him and the Tang army at first, but after just one attack on the city, he was frightened by the weapons of the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay! But I want to tell you in advance that if I find the Tang army, I will retreat directly. I will not bury the Turks' sons here." Anda said in a deep voice.
As soon as he heard this, Ju Wentai's face darkened, and he said decisively: "General Anda, don't forget, first of all, you are following my orders on the orders of your Khan, and secondly, Gaochang is not here for me. It’s for your own benefit, but for you Turks to attract the Tang Dynasty’s attention! Attract the attention of Eli Lose! Then give your Khan a chance to attack Eli Lose directly!”
"So, this is not about me, Gaochang, but your Turks! Now you tell me that you want to withdraw? If you want to withdraw, do you believe that I will surrender to the Tang Dynasty and then lead the Tang soldiers to directly counterattack your Turkic rear?" How should your Khan treat you then?!”
As he spoke, Ju Wentai's voice became louder, and even he believed it.
I’m Ju Wentai! It is definitely not for yourself, but for you, the Turks, that you started this war! Are you saying you want to run away now? ! Do you believe that I sold you back? !
"Uh..." Anda choked directly, because he didn't know much about Ju Wentai's selfish motives, but he knew that what Ju Wentai said was to help their Khan involve the troops and the energy of Datang and Zheli. real! It was also Khan's strategy.
If he withdrew inexplicably and forced Gaochang towards the Tang Dynasty, he would be killed directly by the Khan after he returned!
Because the location of Gaochang is very important, Gaochang blocks the possibility of Datang directly advancing to the rear of their Khan. Although in Anda's view, Datang may not really fully help Zheli!
But no matter what, he couldn't really sell Ju Wentai away like that.
