Since defeating Wang Zhengjian and completely ousting him, Zhao Ziliang has completely controlled the military and political affairs of Beiting after more than half a year of management.
Some officials in Beiting who are aware of current affairs have come to serve under him, and some officials have deep feelings for him.
Zhao Ziliang was dissatisfied because Wang Zhengjian was sidelined and he monopolized military and political power in Beiting.
These people were all former confidants of Wang Zhengjian, but the situation was stronger than others, but they had no choice but to handle the official business honestly.
For those officials who deliberately neglected, delayed, and hindered the operation of the yamen in Beiting, Zhao Ziliang attacked mercilessly, ranging from dismissal from office to jailing by finding pretexts and excuses at worst.
After a series of rectifications, the opposition forces were completely suppressed.
Even if some people were dissatisfied, they chose to endure because they were unable to fight.
As long as Zhao Ziliang's military power in Beiting was not lost, the three or two kittens would not be able to jump up.
Zhao Ziliang was a soldier, both in his previous life and now, so he was particularly concerned about military affairs.
The army under his command was completely different from the armies in other parts of the Tang Dynasty.
Not only were their styles completely different, but also their drills, attendance, and Military discipline, command system, etc. are also very different.
In terms of training, Zhao Ziliang only borrowed a small part of the current Tang Dynasty army, and most of it was carried out according to his own intentions.
In particular, the training items, time, intensity and other aspects were quite different from other frontier armies of the Tang Dynasty.
First of all, the training items include individual combat and collaborative combat.
While focusing on individual combat effectiveness, we also do not forget to increase the training of collaborative combat; secondly, there is the training of courage and psychological quality.
These two training subjects are extremely important in Zhao Ziliang's opinion.
Yes, in a large-scale duel on the frontal battlefield, rows of cavalry or infantry are pressing forward like an overwhelming sea, with swords and guns flashing like a forest, and full of murderous intent.
If the soldiers do not have strong courage and strong psychological quality, it will be easy for the army to defeat them. collapse in In the training of these two subjects, Zhao Ziliang usually asked the soldiers to slaughter cattle, sheep, fat pigs and other livestock, or locked them alone in a small dark room and left them alone for several days, so that each of them could deeply understand The feeling of loneliness and terror, or letting them be in a bloody place, letting them spend the night in mass graves, climbing cliffs, walking on single-plank bridges with abyss on both sides, etc., to train their courage, courage and psychological quality , and at the same time teach them to carry out self-psychological suggestion and overcome timidity.
In terms of attendance, Zhao Ziliang generally asked his troops to conduct morning exercises every day, conduct daytime training summaries at night, and often conduct emergency assembly training late at night, so that the soldiers were always on alert.
Except for illness and vacation, no orders were generally allowed.
When leaving the military camp, there are two days of rest and holiday every month, but they must return to the military camp within the specified time at night.
They are not allowed to do anything that violates discipline after leaving the military camp.
Soldiers who violate discipline will be severely punished.
Training during the day is usually fully scheduled.
Except for necessary rest and meal times, soldiers generally have no time to think wildly.
The same is true at night.
If soldiers' thoughts are too complicated, the army will easily lose control.
The training time for other frontier troops of the Tang Army was not so long.
In order to reduce the army's consumption of food, grass, ordnance and equipment, the generals would have to train for half a day every day.
As time went by, the soldiers would feel so idle.
He would think a lot and even do something that violates discipline.
Therefore, the military discipline of other armies was not very good.
This is why Zhao Ziliang offended many people when he implemented military discipline in Chang'an.
In terms of military discipline, Zhao Ziliang has worked very hard.
He has refined the original military law, added many military law regulations, and also deleted many of the more cruel military law contents.
In this era, military soldiers basically had no patriotic ideas.
Most of them joined the army to earn a living or support their families.
There were not many people who truly joined the army for the sake of national stability, but they were very few.
Therefore, when more stringent and detailed military laws are promulgated, rewards and punishments should be clearly defined and rewards should be based on merit.
If there are no clear distinctions between rewards and punishments, strict military laws will not only make soldiers dissatisfied, but will also be counterproductive.
In terms of the command system, Zhao Ziliang used to feel that the command system of this era was very unreliable and had many shortcomings.
On the one hand, the generals at the front could not determine the authenticity of the military orders.
If someone killed the ordering soldiers and falsely conveyed the military orders, things would be very messy.
On the other hand, if you are on a complicated battlefield and the momentum is huge, it is difficult to convey military orders to the frontline generals and lower-level officers in time.
Therefore, it often takes a long time to convey a military order, and sometimes errors are likely to occur.

Another point is that if the army marches or fights at night, the transmission of military orders is also troublesome, because the visibility at night is not good and cannot be seen, so it can only be conveyed orally or in writing.
Orally conveying the general's military orders is obviously not enough and cannot be effective.
Identify the authenticity of military orders.
On the other hand, Zhao Ziliang spent a long period of exploration before deciding to redesign a military order transmission system in order to effectively and accurately convey military orders to military commanders at all levels.
First of all, for orders from the Soldiers and Horses Envoy to be transmitted to military units at all levels, such as armies, guards, cities, towns, Wu, forts, and post offices, they must have official documents from the Soldiers and Horses Envoy, tiger talismans, and specific heralds to convey the orders.
To take effect, both the upper and lower levels must prepare records for future inspection.
Secondly, military envoys, garrison envoys, and other high-level generals convey military orders to the next-level generals.
In non-war times, official documents, tiger talismans, and specific heralds must also be present for the orders to be effective.
Records must also be prepared.
However, in times of war, the generals are usually at the level of military envoys or guards, and the battlefield is changing rapidly.
Therefore, written orders and tiger talismans are dispensed with, and orders are only conveyed by specific ordering soldiers.
This requires the subordinate generals to be familiar with and understand the ordering soldiers in advance in order to confirm that it is the military order conveyed by the superior.
For those who have never Military orders sent by messengers you have seen or are not familiar with can be ignored.
Thirdly, in the process of conveying military orders, especially on the battlefield, Zhao Ziliang retained some of the original means of conveying orders.
For example, beating drums means attacking, and calling gold means withdrawing troops.
However, this also depends on the target.
Drums and gongs are very important for receiving military orders. combat units are effective.
In addition to verbal communication by messengers, flags are also used to convey orders.
The function of flags is to convey the orders of the general in a battle to various ministries.
The soldiers responsible for conveying orders will stand on high places and use flags to convey military orders.
Each department specializes in conveying orders.
The personnel responsible for conveying military orders must use the semaphore immediately after seeing the order in the semaphore.
Then the generals of each ministry send a messenger to convey it verbally to the generals or officers at the lower level.
The messengers are all people familiar to the generals and commanders at the higher and lower levels.
The messengers convey After completing the military order, they have to return to confirm that the military order has been conveyed in place.
This is a means of delivering orders during the day.
The means of delivering orders at night is a combination of firelight and oral communication, so that military orders can be conveyed to the lowest level soldiers.
After the new order system was officially promulgated and implemented in various military units in Beiting, the speed, accuracy and effect of order transmission have been greatly improved.
Generals and colonels at all levels are very satisfied after using this order system.
Tingzhou.
On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of Tianbao, Zhao Ziliang had just returned from inspecting military affairs at the Tianshan Army garrison.
Wang Can came over and reported: "General, the expansion of the Abbasid Dynasty to the east has begun.
According to reliable information, Huo Xunguo and Anguo It has completely fallen to the cannibals.
There has been no movement in Kang State, which is closest to Anguo.
After all, Kang State still has 3,000 troops stationed under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate.
The cannibals They should not dare to blatantly extend their hands into the Kang state, and the Kang state should not dare to surrender to the Da Shi people when the Anxi army is stationed in the territory.
However, I speculate that the Da Shi people have just established a new dynasty, and the political situation may still be unstable.
It’s not very stable, but sooner or later they will have to fight against Kang State for control of the Western Region, and I estimate that it won’t be too long, and they will start a war in a year at most.”
Zhao Ziliang stood up, crossed his arms over his chest, and walked in the lobby.
As he walked, he said: "The Abbasid dynasty was eager to expand outwards just after it was established.
It seems that this Abu Abbas is not an easy person to deal with.
Fortunately, we have made preparations in advance.
However, the Zhaowu Kingdom is not under the jurisdiction of our Beiting.
If we intervene rashly, Gao Xianzhi and the others will probably be unhappy.
Let’s keep an eye on the Great Eater for the time being.

By the way, has the influence of the Great Eater moved forward?
Signs of northern expansion” Wang Can shook his head and said: "There is no news about this yet."
After speaking, Wang Can walked to the wall with a map next to him and pointed to a large blank area to the west of the Aral Sea, which is located around the mouth of the Volga River and the Ural River in the northeastern and northern shores of the Caspian Sea and said: "General, please look here, this area is not marked. , but there is a Turkic tribe living here called Khazars According to the information obtained by the humble official, the Khazar tribe established a country last year.
It was called the Khazar Khanate.
This Khanate had a good relationship with the Byzantine Empire of Fufu.
The Emperor Fufu also took a princess of the Khazar Khanate as his wife.
Although the population of the Sa Khanate is not large, all men and women over the age of twelve are warriors.
It can be said that all the people are soldiers. , very brave, fighting without risking one's life.
The Fulu Kingdom relies on the Khazar Khanate to contain the Great Food Kingdom from the northeast, and defeats the Khazar Khanate.
The climate is cold, and the people of the Great Food Country are not suitable for the climate of the region. , so I don’t want to cause trouble myself to provoke the Khazars and the Western Turks in the areas around the Aral Sea and east of the Aral Sea.
After the tribe received the rule of our Beiting Protectorate and we sent officials to supervise, they boiled water to be wary of the cannibals.
Most of this generation is desert with very little output.
The cannibals probably look down on this area. , or maybe they think it’s not good to have too many enemies, so there are no signs of expanding their power around the Aral Sea for the time being.”
Zhao Ziliang walked to the wall and looked at the map, nodded and said: "This area is indeed very barren, and only a few tribes in the Western Turks can survive the severe cold there.
The cannibals are not interested in that area, but this area is indeed excellent. pasture feast People think that the Sogdian region where the Zhaowu Kingdom is located is rich and prosperous.
It is on the Silk Road.
It is not only rich in food, but also a good place to raise horses.
Therefore, they first took a fancy to the territory of the Sogdians.
This is why they expanded eastward first.
The reason is ":
