Change?
Can the military missions sent by His Majesty the Holy Emperor be exchanged?
Zhang Zhongjian asked Gan Ning in a low voice, "Are you kidding me?"
Gan Ning patted his chest and assured Zhang Zhongjian, "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. Let's swap later. I'll be the pirate and you'll be responsible for transporting the fleet." Gan Ning affirmed. Da Lan's appearance is suspicious.
Zhang Zhongjian thought Gan Ning was just talking, and nodded and agreed, "As long as the general can get your majesty to agree, I have no objection." After all, he is not young, so he is naturally willing to stay in the rear safely without going to the battlefield.
"Okay, wait for the news later. I'll try to see if His Majesty can agree."
(￣▽￣)／
Zhongzhu was able to find a serious job for himself. After sending Zhang Zhongjian away, Gan Ning immediately wrote a letter to Li Mingda requesting that he and Zhang Zhongjian be exchanged.
When the memorial was sent to the imperial study, he naturally had nothing to gain. He was scolded by Li Mingda, and then he was allowed to continue to be the shipping manager, responsible for the exchange of materials between the mainland of the Tang Dynasty and Southeast Asia.
In order to provide blood transfusion for the transportation of the East China Sea Fleet and the manufacture of ships, the East China Sea Fleet authorized by Li Mingda carried some spices and other special products for sale in Yangzhou during the transportation work.
Most of the funds obtained were used to build warships, and a small part was thrown into the fleet's internal accounts to serve as their internal welfare.
This kind of policy does not add much to the salary of the members of the East China Sea Fleet, but it is better than nothing. Over time, it is a small amount of extra wealth.
Li Mingda's charter for the East China Sea Fleet made other mainland and northern navies very coveted, and Li Mingda did not give them a chance. Except for those in border areas, troops stationed in the mainland can apply for transfer to the East China Sea Fleet as long as they are able to survive water and seasickness.
Of course, the high-level generals who were transferred in the past will be demoted, and the low-level generals will directly become top soldiers. In addition, the high-intensity land and naval combat training of the East China Sea Fleet is enough for them to drink.
All the troops stationed within Datang knew that the future wars of Datang would be on the western border, and the internal suppression of bandits and theft were decreasing year by year. If you want to obtain military honors and titles, you can only go to the Western Regions or go south to enter the fleet.
Some personnel who still have ambitions have applied to their superiors, hoping to be transferred to the East China Sea Fleet. Seeing the elites they had trained so hard running away, the generals in the military region also wrote letters one after another, hoping that His Majesty would be lenient.
After issuing this decree, Li Mingda naturally knew that this would be the result, so he directly rejected their request and told them that they must continue to train well. During the Tang Dynasty's foreign war, a certain amount of inland troops must be deployed to the front. By then you will have military honors and titles.
Some people were still speculating whether His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun was drawing a pie when a conflict broke out in the land of Sichuan and Shu.
Some tribes from Sichuan and Sichuan suddenly came out of the mountains during the early autumn harvest and would attack towns if they disagreed. As a result, they knew that the Tang Dynasty had been prepared for a long time. Yan Yan and Zhang Yingying had secretly sent many soldiers to lurk in cities and towns everywhere.
The war broke out quickly and ended quickly. The tribesmen ran under the city and began to attack the city desperately.
The land of Sichuan and Sichuan has always been harassed by tribes. Both the villages, towns and cities have complete defense settings. Except for the slightly less personnel, everything else is okay. Yan Yan and Zhang Yingying secretly sent sergeants to enter the city under various excuses such as traders and lackeys. After they entered, they quickly entered the military camp through various methods.
He took the transfer order to take control of the local defense, and then Zhang Gong and the area. Zhang Yingying and Yan Yan stationed themselves at key points with fifty thousand troops and horses, acting as surprise troops to kill the main targets.
The tribal weapons in the mountainous area have very few iron weapons, and the shields are mainly made of rattan. Some rattans are woven into shields after being dried, and then soaked in tung oil. After soaking and drying several times, Teng Tie has washed enough tung oil. , after being baked by the sun, it eventually becomes stronger than ordinary steel.
Tung oil is a rare item, and it is obviously impossible for the entire army to have it. At the beginning, Meng Huo only had a small amount of money, and in the end it was all burned. Now, after hundreds of years of accumulation, these tribes also have some wealth. But everyone knows that this thing cannot withstand fire. When attacking the city, they are not willing to let them enter the battlefield at the beginning and save it for later planning.
As soon as the battle began, the two sides entered a fierce battle. The defenders on the city knew very well that even if those people did not have enough leather armor and steel to make armor, ordinary rattan armor could resist non-fatal damage such as arrows.
Yan Yan, who had fought hard in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan for two lifetimes, and Zhang Yingying, who grew up in the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, knew exactly how to deal with them, and asked them to bring kerosene and other defensive supplies before sending out personnel. At the beginning of the battle, just keep some spare ones and throw the other rockets as hard as you can for free.
Datang has now developed oil and has successfully carried out reserves in major military regions. After following Li Mingda for so long, Zhang Yingying didn't watch Li Mingda lying there every day. All kinds of conventional and unconventional weapons and equipment from the black technology factory will be reported to Li Mingda. Li Mingda will also find a place to test them when he gets the information or samples.
During the experiment, Zhang Yingying and Lu Qiling will also be called to let them know what the current military equipment of the Tang Dynasty is, how to fight the war to their advantage, etc.
Luzhou
Everyone's first impression is of wine. This is an important town in Sichuan and Sichuan. It was restored to Luzhou in the first year of Tang Wude (618), the General Manager's Palace was built in three years (620), and it was promoted to the Governor's Palace in four years (621). Luzhou governs Luchuan County, Fuyi County, Jiang'an County, Hejiang County and Mianshui County.
Luzhou is famous for its drinking. Some drunkards from mountain tribes have targeted this place. As an important town, Zhang Yingying also sent 20,000 people to come here.
At the beginning of the war, after the defenders saw through the rebels who had pretended to sneak into the city and failed to seize the city gate, the leaders with feathers on their heads and tribal totems painted on their faces appeared outside the city with their follow-up troops.
Long before the rebellion, they had secretly discussed it, each sent some cannon fodder, and began to launch a fierce attack on Luzhou City and the surrounding counties.
Kill
There was no organization all over the mountains and plains. The people from each of these tribes huddled together and swarmed towards the city.
swish swish
Datang's response was very simple. The Baniu crossbow, which was the starter, fell down and made a sound.
