Chapter 980 - Arrangement


On May 12, under the deployment of Zhao Ziliang, the Western Qin Army began to carry out a unified combat mission to encircle and suppress the deserters of the barbarian rebels.

The Tubo servant army, mercenaries, Niboluo Army and the Western Qin Mountain Army were divided into six armies to encircle and suppress six strongholds respectively. rebel deserters.

The equipment of the barbarian rebel deserters was rudimentary, more than half of them had no weapons, and more than two-thirds of them discarded their armor and leather armor in the process of escaping.

They were really a group of stragglers and a ragtag group of soldiers.

The encirclement and suppression process went smoothly.

Zhao Bei, Zhamu and other generals made great progress and wiped out all the deserters of the barbarian rebels in just one month.

On June 15, the fifth day after all the barbarian rebel deserters were wiped out, Zhao Bei, Zhamu and others led their troops back to Dafeichuan to return to Zhao Ziliang.

At night, Zhao Ziliang sent someone to bring Zhamu to the Chinese army's tent.

Zhamu immediately saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "I pay my respects to the king."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Zhamu, you don't need to call yourself a villain, you can call yourself a minister.

You are already my king's minister."

Zhamu was overjoyed and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude."

When Zhamu stood up, Zhao Ziliang said: "The war here is over, and the mission of the Tubo servants and soldiers has been completed, including the Tubo mercenaries."

Before Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, Zhamu's expression changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, I have been loyal to you since I submitted to your Majesty, and I have never slacked off in my service to your Majesty.

I still want to continue to serve your Majesty in the future.

Please, Your Majesty, don’t drive me away.”

Zhao Ziliang smiled and helped Zhamu up and said: "Don't be anxious first.

Listen to what I have said.

The Tubo mercenaries are hired.

Now that the war is over, they will be disbanded.

As for the Tubo servant army, these The soldiers have all surrendered.

I am careful that after disbanding them, they will become bandits and bandits and cause trouble to the people.

After much thought these days, I decided to reorganize the Tibetan mercenaries and servants.

Weed out the disabled, old and weak, leaving behind the strong and strong.

Disband all soldiers over thirty-five years old and disabled soldiers, pay them part of the severance pay, and let them disarm and return to their hometowns, leaving one hundred thousand strong and strong soldiers.

Practice high The original army, the Plateau Army, consists of thirty divisions, each with 3,000 men.

I have decided to appoint the eldest prince Zhao Lei as the commander of the plateau army, and you as the deputy commander.

After the plateau army was reorganized, it immediately went to various places in Tianzhu to garrison. " "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."

Zhamu agreed immediately, but then asked, "Is the eldest prince here?"

"Served as the Protector of Tianzhu," Zhao Ziliang said, paused, and continued: "It has been two years since Tianzhu surrendered to our Western Qin Dynasty.

Before that, it had been under military control.

Zhao Lei was in charge of both government and military affairs, but our Western Qin Qin has rules.

In the past two years, various places in Tianzhu have become more stable, so Tianzhu must separate military and political affairs.

After the Plateau Legion arrives, the eldest prince will do it.

He will resign from the post of Protector of the Tianzhu Protectorate and become the commander of the Plateau Army.

You will serve as his deputy and assist him in leading the Plateau Army to guard all parts of Tianzhu.

You have also seen that the Tianzhu soldiers are too lazy to kill themselves. knife rests on their On the neck, they are also dragging their feet.

This is still an army.

You can imagine what happened to the people of Tianzhu.

After you arrive in Tianzhu, you will assist the eldest prince in commanding the troops.

If someone in Tianzhu rebels, you will severely suppress it.

You will never Soft-handed" Zhamu immediately said: "Yes, I will definitely follow the king's will."

Zhao Ziliang's meaning is actually very obvious, which is to send the reorganized Tibetan soldiers to Tianzhu to garrison, and the Tianzhu soldiers to Tubo to garrison.

After such mutual exchange of defenses, whether it is Tubo soldiers or Tianzhu soldiers, There is no common people's support in the defense area as a foundation, and it is difficult for a rebellion to succeed.

After a year or two, troops will be transferred from other areas to change defenses with the Tianzhu soldiers and Tubo soldiers.

In short, the garrison can only be stationed in other places.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Zhamu: "There is one more thing you need to do."

Zhamu straightened his chest and said, "Please give me your Majesty's orders."

"There are thousands of party members who surrendered in the camp.

You lead the troops and kill them all.

Don't remember any of them.

Kill only the men and leave the women behind."

Zhamu immediately agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

Chen Qing and others were responsible for reorganizing the Tubo servants and mercenaries, and Zhao Ziliang did not have to worry about it.

On June 16, he summoned the ministers accompanying the army to discuss preparations before going to Chang'an.

"Now that all the deserters of the barbarian rebels have been wiped out, we need to arrange preparations before going to Chang'an.

First, we must reorganize the servant army and mercenaries.

Chen Qing is responsible for this matter.

Now it has begun.

The Tubo servant army After reorganizing with the mercenaries, only the 100,000 people, named the Plateau Legion, revoked Zhao Lei's position as the Protector of the Tianzhu Protectorate, Li Boqin took over as the Protector of the Tianzhu Protectorate, appointed Zhao Lei as the commander of the Plateau Legion, and Zhamudang as the deputy commander.

Organized into thirty divisions, each with 3,000 men, the Plateau Corps was reorganized and headed for Tianzhu, divided into Stationed in various places, they were stationed in various places and trained at the same time.

Then the Tianzhu servant troops stationed in various places in Tianzhu were deployed in various places in Tubo.

This matter was completed within two months.

After the Tianzhu soldiers arrived, the main force of our Western Qin Army moved to Chang'an.

After 2016, the Military Aircraft Academy will arrange for the Plateau Army and Air Force The Zhu army exchanged defenses with the garrisons in other areas.

The combat mission of the Nibolu army and the Nibolu mercenaries had been completed, so they were ordered to return to Nibolu to draft an edict and send it to the Nibolu king.

The outstanding performance in the conquest of Tibet will be rewarded."

The clerk next to him kept writing Zhao Ziliang's orders, while the ministers listened quietly.

Zhao Ziliang continued: "Secondly, Deputy Prime Minister Dugu Wensu's mission in Tianzhu has been completed, and he has been ordered to return to Xinjing to assist Cen Shen in handling government affairs.

To the Government Affairs Council, Judicial Temple, Military Aircraft Academy, and Jinyiwei , the Imperial Protectorate sent edicts to convey my king's will.

During my absence, each government office will carry out its own responsibilities.

If there are major military and political affairs that cannot be decided, the written text will be sent to Chang'an at an eight-hundred-mile speed for my king's review."

"Write documents to the officials in various parts of Tubo to convey my king's instructions.

Build the road from Tianzhu to Luoche, build the road from Luoche to Shanzhou, and build a post station at least every 100 miles."

"Send official documents to the governments of Xizhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou and other places to recruit civilians to build roads.

The road from Tingzhou to Jincheng must be built, and the formerly abandoned inns must also be built.

When it is rebuilt, troops must be stationed to garrison it.”

When Zhao Ziliang said this, he paused, glanced among the ministers, raised his finger and pointed at Li Muchen and said: "Li Muchen, your writing is good.

Come and draft a memorial for me to give to the emperor.

I want to lead the troops."

Chang'an must be approved by the emperor to allow the city checkpoints along the way to be released.

Is it possible for me to lead the army all the way to Chang'an?

If so, instead of saving the Tang Dynasty, we people will become traitors."

Li Muchen was named by Zhao Ziliang to draft a memorial, which made many ministers very envious.

After all, it was not easy to be favored and recognized by Zhao Ziliang.

Li Muchen was also shocked.

He immediately stood up and bowed with his hands raised, saying: "I obey the order."

"Zhao Bei" "I'm here," Zhao Bei stood up and bowed with his fists clasped.

Zhao Ziliang ordered: "You go to Chen Qing and select three thousand of the bravest and strongest men from the plateau legion that is being reorganized.

The selection will be completed within three days and they will be organized into a vanguard army.

You will be the commander.

After the organization is completed, Carry out training immediately.

My requirements for you are: first, strict military discipline; second, drill diligently; third, ideological education must be carried out every day.

The requirements for these people must not be relaxed for a moment, and they must be obedient. obey again” Zhao Bei said seriously: "Yes, I obey your order."

Zhao Ziliang said to everyone again: "This time I go to Chang'an.

I have decided to take only the escort army, Huya Army, and Selected Front Army.

The 99th Army, the Mountain Army, the 2nd Army, and the 4th Army will all return to the 9th Army of the Western Qin Dynasty."

The various parts of the legion are scattered throughout Tubo for guarding.

When to change the defense, we are waiting for the order from the King and the Military Academy to change the defense."

Gao Shang stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Guards and the Huya Army have suffered some losses in the process of conquering the Tibetan tribes.

Although they have been fully replenished, there are only 5,500 people.

In addition to the newly formed The selected vanguard army only has 8,500 people.

To protect the safety of the king and his fellow ministers, this force is too small."

"It's true that having too many troops and horses accompanying them will increase military expenditures.

We have tens of thousands of soldiers in our headquarters eating horse chews.

The daily consumption is too high."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hands as he spoke, looked at several generals, and continued Said: "Currently, the Military Academy is undergoing an expansion plan.

After the armies return to Western Qin, they can rest and reorganize while expanding the army.

Soldiers who have reached their age and disabled soldiers should be allowed to retire.

According to the plan, the maximum number of troops for each legion is 30,000.

Nowadays, there are generally only more than 12,000 troops.

Therefore, there is a huge gap in the number of troops that need to be supplemented, maybe within one or two years.

It cannot be completely supplemented, so we need to supplement and train at the same time, strengthen ideological education, and strictly enforce military discipline.

These three principles cannot be relaxed for a day.

Generals, do you understand?"

The generals said: "I understand, your Majesty, please rest assured."

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Zheng San, how many cattle, sheep and horses do we have now?

How much food and fodder do we have?"

Zheng San stood up and said: "Your Majesty, during this campaign against the Tubo tribes and the elimination of the barbarian rebels, our army captured a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.

Now there are still 30,000 cattle, 120,000 sheep, and 90,000 horses left. .

If the reorganizing Plateau Legion is sent to Tianzhu, the food will be enough to feed my troops for three years.

Although the amount of fodder is huge, it cannot support too many livestock and can only last for half a year."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and ordered: "This time, go to Chang'an and bring some cattle and sheep to supply meat and dairy products to the army.

The rest will be left here to graze sheep.

In addition to the original war horses of each army, we will bring another 10,000 horses."

Set up a large pasture here for transporting war horses, or set up multiple pastures to graze these cattle, sheep and horses, and there must be dedicated personnel to collect them.

Grass is cut to feed them, and the army's meat and war horses are supplied from these pastures every year.

The gold, silver, copper coins, jewelry and other property seized are left behind, and other jewelry and copper coins are given to the soldiers, and the gold and silver are melted into gold.

It's up to you to take the ingots and silver ingots to Chang'an and other matters.

In short, everything must be arranged before our army sets off."

Zheng San agreed: "I understand and will obey the king's will":
