The scorching sun in July is already like fire
Under the noon sun, even Guanzhong Chang'an City, located in the Land of Abundance, was illuminated by the sun in the sky, and the road surface seemed to be lit with flames.
Hot air surges
Zhuque Street is located on the central axis of Chang'an City, corresponding to the palace gate of the Tang Dynasty Palace from south to north.
Pedestrians on the road in a hurry
Datang entered the 14th year of Zhenguan
Datang has experienced many things since the capture of Tuyuhun in the 9th year of Zhenguan.
In the tenth year of Zhenguan (AD 636), the Empress, the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty’s mother, this historically deceased mother of the country, overcame her original fate and continued to live a happy life with Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
The famous historical attraction Yellow Crane Tower has been written into history.
The daughter written by Li Mingda's mother's eldest grandson successfully missed the ticket due to the fact that some of her children were too mischievous and had no time to take care of it.
News came from Hu merchants in the Western Regions that the Arabs defeated the Romans and Palestine became part of the Arab Empire. A large number of Romans followed the caravans to the situation of the Tang Dynasty. They had some hope of regaining their fortune in this magical land. newborn.
Some hope to regain their former glory through the force of the Tang Dynasty. The road from the Western Regions to Chang'an is long, and many people's bones are buried under the yellow sand, and only a few can reach Chang'an City.
Caliph Umar came to Jerusalem and signed the famous "Umar Covenant" with the local residents.
This person in history had his own great legend in the *** sect, but he was later assassinated and died. There were too many things hidden behind it.
In this year, the Tang Dynasty revised the military system after many discussions. At the beginning of Wude, a military government was set up, which was led by two generals, Hussar and Chaqi. In the sixth year of Wude, the hussar was changed to command the army, and the chariot was changed to the special general.
In the 10th year of Zhenguan, the army was renamed the Commander-in-Chief of Zhechong and the commander-in-chief of Guoyi. The military mansion was renamed Zhechong mansion. There are a total of 634 prefectures in the country, and there are 261 prefectures in the pass, which are divided into central guards.
Under Li Mingda's suggestion, Zhechong Mansion was divided into eight military regions: northwest, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest of Dong'an.
The number of soldiers in each military region varies according to the location of the divided state capital. The main hostile areas such as Tubo, Western Regions, and Liaodong have the strongest military strength.
For example, coastal areas and the hinterland of the Central Plains are much weaker.
Zhechong Mansion is divided into upper, middle and lower houses. There are 1,200 people in Shangfu, 1,000 people in Zhechong Mansion and 800 people in Lower Mansion. For a corps of five people, there will be a corps leader, for a fire of ten people, there will be a ten-man captain, for a platoon of fifty, there will be a platoon leader, for a company of a hundred people, there will be a hundred-man captain, and for a thousand people, there will be a thousand-man general, and the thousand-man general will be divided into upper, middle and lower ranks according to the number of soldiers The third level is bronze, silver and gold.
Thousands of bronze, silver and gold levels will have bronze, silver and gold medals on their armor respectively to show that their treatment is slightly different but their rights are the same.
Each person brings his own weapons, food, and clothes. He joined the army at the age of twenty and was exempted from military service at the age of sixty. Li Mingda argued for the change to 50-year-old immunity.
Every winter, thousands of people will lead their own troops to teach battle.
The soldiers of the government take turns to go to Suwei in the capital to repair and conduct military training. Those who are not in rotation training will be arranged separately by the Zhechong Fuyou Military Region.
Li Shimin did not agree at first. This kind of thing was tantamount to allocating military power. Then it was time for Li Mingda to use his eloquence to explain the pros and cons. In order to stabilize the morale of the military and increase the control of military power, it was implemented from the 11th year of Zhenguan. And new official positions, instructors and pickets were added to the army.
Instructors are responsible for recording military achievements and imparting ideas of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
Pickets are responsible for maintaining records of military discipline.
The selection of instructors and pickets is extremely strict. They must be clean at home and acquire a few words and military qualities to meet certain standards.
Those who have sufficient military literacy and moral character and cannot read can learn and teach later.
In fact, the Tang army already had such officers and generals, but Li Mingda strengthened them.
The first batch of instructors and pickets all went to Chang'an to study. After passing their studies, they were sent to various Zhechong prefectures to build units at the next level of the prefectural soldiers.
For this reason, Li Mingda took Murong Xue and racked his brains to arrange training courses and ideological education content.
I recite it three times every day in the morning, afternoon and evening, and occasionally do assessments and spot checks, and strive to carry out brainwashing education in a short period of time to meet the required standards.
Next is another position, the staff department. Staff officers are set up above the platoon. Each Zhechong government has a staff department, which is responsible for military law and the execution of military objectives in the operations of the government soldiers.
In order to prevent power struggles, the position of the staff officer is not as good as that of the Thousand-man General. He only has the power to make decisions and suggestions, but does not have the power to command the army. He is not allowed to interfere with the normal training of the army by the Thousand-man General and the instructor.
Candidates for the staff are generally selected from ordinary soldiers with certain military qualities and military families. Their real role is to prepare candidates for the Thousand Generals. If there is an accident with the Thousands of Generals, their subordinates will take over according to their positions.
Li Mingda and Murong Xue wrote tens of thousands of words on the specific content and planned many rules and regulations to carry out the greatest reform to the extent that Li Shimin felt it could be controlled to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty's army.
The ten years of Zhenguan have passed in such a busy way. What makes Li Mingda happy is that Changsun Wuji, the little black fat man, is once again worried about the failure of his new technology.
Li Mingda's three models of Tiance A were sold very well, allowing Li Mingda to make a lot of money, and he had the capital to continue researching steam boilers, high-yield steel furnaces, and forging hammers.
Changsun Wuji was not only concerned about Li Mingda's technical failure, but also that his rights in the Tang Dynasty were divided again.
With the efforts of many parties, the warrior Yu successfully made a comeback and directly entered the Ministry of Industry and regained the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
This position was a fatal nail in Changsun Wuji's gray field of ordnance. It made him sleepless and hungry, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly.
However, he couldn't find any opportunity or excuse and could only swallow his anger.
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, Hu merchants from the Western Regions brought news to Li Mingda and Murong Xue that the powerful Arab army encountered huge resistance when they captured the Persian capital of Ctesiphon.
A man named Bahram led a Persian army that appeared out of nowhere to fight with him. Both sides suffered casualties and the Arab army was finally defeated.
However, due to the large number of people on the Arab side, Bahram did not have enough soldiers to enter the palace and the Arab strength was there, and the two sides eventually came to a stalemate.
"My beloved, this is bad news."
"There is no such person in the history of Bahram my princess"
"Please call me husband"
"No"
"Hey, think about those gray bamboo rats."
"..."
Wu Xu, who was hiding in the corner, bit his lips: Charming Xiaobai, Her Royal Highness the Princess obviously fell in love with me first, Wu Xu, you have to work hard, you can't just watch your sense of existence getting lower and lower.
The peaceful time of the Tang Dynasty did not last long.
In the autumn of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the first large-scale war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo broke out in Tuyuhun.
