"Forget it, I'd better pass on a message to His Highness first." Tian Meng said. As Li Ke's former butler, he naturally knew a lot of things. Although Cui Liang was surprised, he didn't ask.
As a member of the Bolingcui family, he knew very well that there were many questions that should not be asked.
Naturally, Li Ke, who was far away in Chang'an, received Tian Meng's matter quickly. As the northernmost border state of the Tang Dynasty, it was also a state that managed nomadic people. This was the top priority of the Tang Dynasty, because as long as Hanhai Prefecture was stable, , which means that Datang's frontier will become extremely stable.
It can be said that this place was the source of external threats in any dynasty, and now that Datang has the opportunity and the means to solve this threat, of course it must solve it.
So things here are naturally the most important. Radio devices have also spread to Hanhai City, and large radio devices are being built here, which means that the entire northern border is within its coverage.
Tian Meng quickly received the latest order from Li Ke. When he saw the order, Tian Meng was somewhat stunned.
He immediately said: "General Cui."
"Captain Tian." Cui Liang saluted.
"Please be prepared to immediately mobilize 20,000 cavalry to send troops to Goguryeo. I will give you troop deployment orders later." Tian Meng said. At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty's army was constantly dispatching, and Hanhai Prefecture was not prepared to send troops.
But now His Highness has issued the latest order, asking them to deploy 20,000 cavalry here.
"Yes!" Although Cui Liang was confused, since Tian Meng said it, it means that it is true, but...how to contact Chang'an within one day? And he also sent the order, which Cui Liang could not have imagined.
However, when it comes to matters like this, Cui Liang, who knows Tian Meng's background, will naturally not suspect that he has any other ideas. What's more, military orders naturally have anti-counterfeiting marks, and Cui Liang can naturally tell them apart.
In fact, there was no tiger talisman in the Tang Dynasty. The tiger talisman had been canceled as early as the Sui Dynasty. However, during the military restructuring process of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke came up with something similar to the tiger talisman, but this thing was just a temporary measure.
Now a new update has started soon, such as code books, military orders with seals, etc., special code words agreed in advance, etc.
Confirming these things will confirm the military order.
When Tian Meng handed Cui Liang the order with the seal of His Highness and His Majesty, he went directly to mobilize his troops.
Hanhai Prefecture is different from other prefectures. As a territory where nomadic people once lived, Hanhai Prefecture is naturally dominated by cavalry. It can even be said to be full cavalry, or an all-round military unit. When you mount a horse, you can act as a cavalry, and when you dismount, you can fight on foot. Can use bow and arrow.
The only thing is that they are slightly behind in terms of siege equipment.
When there are no problems in Hanhai Prefecture, there are no people on the northern border. Of course, there is no need to station a large number of cavalry. It is only necessary to station some soldiers at intervals.
A large number of soldiers are concentrated on the Eastern Front.
Cui Liang went to mobilize troops, and Tian Meng quickly walked outside and asked people to gather the leaders from each tribe.
Cui Liang said before that there are more than 100,000 people here. In fact, he was wrong. It should be said that these people represent 100,000 people. The people who come here are representatives of each tribe, and a tribe is a village. According to the current Hanhai Prefecture’s According to the establishment, a tribe also has about one hundred households and about five hundred people.
So the actual number of people who came here was probably only a few hundred people.
Tian Meng gathered them all directly, and then said simply: "Everyone, I can understand your feelings of fighting for the Tang Dynasty, but I have received the latest order from His Highness, which strictly prohibits any ordinary people or herdsmen from participating in the battle!"
"And everyone, you are ordinary people!"
"Captain Tian, what you said is that we are ordinary people, but we are also people of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty is encountering foreign enemies, how can we stand idly by and watch!" A man in his forties immediately said loudly and gruffly. .
Everyone immediately spoke loudly to express their opinions.
"Everyone!" Tian Meng raised his voice. After everyone calmed down, Tian Meng continued: "I said, this is His Highness's order. Are you going to disobey His Highness's order?"
After Tian Meng emphasized again, these people fell silent for an instant. Everyone felt a little uncomfortable. They didn't want to disobey Li Ke's order, but they didn't want to obey it.
"Um, Governor Tian, can you help us petition His Highness for a war? There is still time before the war starts anyway. Now send the letter to Chang'an. It will be there soon if you rush 800 miles." Another leader who is older is older. road.
"Yes, Governor Tian, please help us petition for a fight. At worst, we can deliver the letter ourselves."
"Yep."
Seeing that everyone started to make noise again, Tian Meng had no choice but to press his hands again to signal everyone to quiet down, and then he continued to speak earnestly: "Brothers, I can understand everyone's mood of wanting to fight for the Tang Dynasty. Each of us I don’t want the good life today to end like this.”
"Anyone who dares to destroy our life, we will not let them get their way! Today's Datang is the Datang for all of us. To be honest, I am just like you, I can't wait to go to the battlefield to fight!"
"But the Tang Dynasty today is not the Xue Yantuo of the past, nor the East Turks of the past! The Tang Dynasty's army has been reorganized into a professional army! Soldiers are soldiers!"
"If civilians like you are allowed to go to the battlefield without waiting for the battle, how should these soldiers handle themselves?!"
"Everyone should know that every soldier of the Tang Dynasty swore when he joined the army that he would use his own life to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty and protect you from any invasion by foreign enemies! He is willing to destroy all enemies for the Tang Dynasty!"
"I believe that among you, there must be relatives, friends, and even children and brothers who have joined the army! We must believe them now!! His Highness's order is that our Hanhai Prefecture will send 20,000 troops to assist in the attack on Goguryeo! They will all rush to the battlefield immediately!"
"And you are all the people of Datang. What we have to do is to protect our own homeland, raise our cattle and sheep, and strive to sell more beef and mutton, more wool, cowhide and other materials to the country. This is how we support the war!"
"There is no distinction between high and low in work. If we do our job well, we are also supporting the country. The soldiers on the front line are fighting. We must prepare sufficient dried meat and sufficient grain for them in the rear. This is what we should do. ,right?"
Tian Meng looked at them and said loudly.
