Li Mu raised the corner of his eyes, raised his head and said: "When you unify the Turkic tribes, my words will naturally represent the Tang Dynasty."
Zhu Shekler stared at Li Mu and shouted, "Then you and I will make an alliance with blood." ” "Yes."
The two cut their fingers and drank blood wine.
That's when I drank it happily.
The next day, 30,000 divine guards and 6,000 moon clans launched an attack on Futu City in four directions.
Three days later, the Turkic soldiers in Futu killed the general and opened the gates to surrender.
Li Mu fulfilled his promise and handed over the captured 30,000 Turkic troops and a large amount of ordnance to Zhu Shekler.
After Zhu Shekler had a bitter drink with Li Mu, Li Yi and others twice, he returned with a full harvest, and with him were several wolf tooth guards sent by Li Mu, who were responsible for the liaison between the two.
Su Dingfang was puzzled and asked: "Your Highness is really sure, this person will be a minister to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Mu said: "Whether he is a minister or not, before the Turks are unified, he will not turn his face with the Tang Dynasty."
The northwest border of Datang can be quiet for at least ten years.
In this way, in the past ten years, Datang can move its energy to Tibet. ” Li Shidao: "But if he is allowed to dominate the Western Regions, in case he leads his troops south, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of the Tang Dynasty." ” Li Mu said: "In ten years, if the Tang Dynasty has not built the straight road to Futu City, and the military strength has not been able to contain the Turks, it will deserve to be humiliated." ” Li Yi shook his head and said, "I always feel that this person is no longer the Hu man who fell back then." ” Li Mu said: "I think so too, maybe the situation forced him to change." ” 。
Captured Futu Castle.
Li Mu's strategic intentions have all been achieved.
The borders of the Tang Dynasty have expanded westward to the Baiyang River and south to the Tianshan Mountains.
Three months later, the will of the imperial court and the arrival of new officials.
The imperial court set up three states in the Western Regions, Gaochang in Xizhou, Yiwu in Yizhou, and Futu City in Tingzhou.
And in Tingzhou, the north court capital was set up, and the garrison was 5,000 people. and set up the Yanqi capital in Yanqi, garrisoning 5,000 people.
So far, the east of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions has all entered the Tang Dynasty.
Li Mu led the guards back to Hangzhou, and when passing through Chang'an, Li Shimin did not summon Li Mu.
Only represented by the crown prince Li Chengqian, he read out the will of the reward to Li Mu.
Li Mu made a rescue, occupied Futu City, and killed 50,000 Turkic troops, and was promoted to King Wu, officially becoming the only prince of the Tang Dynasty who was not a prince.
At the same time, the fief of the king of the Tang Dynasty, the general of the town army, was not permanent, and it would be changed every few years.
Li Ke, the former king of Wu and the governor of Anzhou, was young and frivolous, hunting around in the fiefdom, destroying a large number of farmland, and the people resented it to the extreme.
Li Shimin was even more angry with the long history of Quan Wanji, and almost dismissed Quan Wanji from office and exiled, but fortunately Liu Fan advised him not to implement it.
Su Dingfang was awarded the title of General Zhongwu, and Li Shi was awarded the title of General of Zhuangwu.
The left guard of the god machine has its own reward.
Li Yi was named Pengcheng County Hou and awarded the title of General Guide.
The county hou and the guide generals are all from the third grade, and the loyal generals and the strong military generals are the four grades.
This has obviously left Su Dingfang and Li Shi behind.
At the same time, Li Shimin issued an order, and Li Mu's Shenji Right Guard was expanded again, with an upper limit of 40,000 soldiers, and was renamed Shence Guard.
Shence guards are divided into left and right guards, with 20,000 people per guard.
Li Yi is the general of the Shen Ce Guard, Wei Chihuan is the general of the left guard, and Cheng Chubi is the general of the right guard.
The military salary expenditure of Shen Cewei was officially included in the imperial budget and borne by the national treasury.
After Li Mu heard this, he understood that Li Shimin wanted to completely separate the right guard of the divine machine and no longer have any contact with himself. 。
During the conquest of Gaochang, Luoyang continued to rain heavily, and the water overflowed into the Luoyang Palace, destroying countless official temples and dwellings, and drowning more than 6,000 people.
Although the imperial court issued an order for disaster relief, the implementation was not effective, and the people were dissatisfied.
There were also more than 10,000 Turkic captives who accompanied Li Mu to Hangzhou in the south, which were captured on the way to Futu City in Tingzhou, and there were originally more than 20,000, half of which were intercepted by the imperial court in the name of offering prisoners.
However, fortunately, the captured war horses were not intercepted, and the imperial court only took back the 20,000 war horses lent to the god guard.
The ordnance of Futu City was given to Zhu Shekler, but the war horse was left behind by Li Mu.
Coupled with the previous seizures, there were 20,000 war horses brought to Hangzhou by Li Mu.
When Shenjiwei went north, he took the waterway, and when he returned, he became cavalry.
In this expedition, the loss of the 20,000 god guards was not large.
The casualties did not exceed 10 percent, and the number of casualties was even lower, only more than 300 people.
The loot brought back was very rich.

More than 20,000 war horses are enough to arm the god guards.
The workshop owners in Hangzhou and Vietnam preferred the Turkic captives brought back by Li Mu.
Because that's a big plus for them.
According to the employment policy formulated by Li Mu.
Where the people of Datang hire workers, the minimum wage shall not be less than five cents per day.
At the same time, the owner of the workshop must pay 20% to the government, that is, one penny, as a deposit.
In the event of a work-related injury resulting in disability, a lump sum of three to six years of wage compensation is required.
In the event of death, a lump sum payment of 10 years of wages is payable.
This policy has been revised many times, and on one occasion it was opposed by more than 70% of the workshop owners.
In the end, the amendment was passed, entirely because of the emergence of labor shortages.
But for the prisoners, the government auctioned them off at three cents a day, with the ownership of the government and the right of use in the hands of each workshop owner.
And often the captives are more comfortable to use and more obedient than the people of the Tang Dynasty.
There is no need to pay a 20% deposit, and there is no need to compensate for disability.
Although it requires a short period of training, the assembly line work that has already sprouted does not require the workshop owner to waste too much time.
Therefore, the workshop owners prefer to use captives.
So much so that the final auction price even exceeded the minimum daily wage of Datang's hired workers, reaching six cents per day.
It can be said that Hangzhou and Yuezhou have sprouted capitalism under the impetus of Li Mu.
And it's becoming more and more obvious.
Workshop owners have gradually moved away from the land economy that has been passed down from generation to generation, and gradually invested their family businesses in the increasingly prosperous workshop industry.
They were freed from the land and became the first generation of capitalists in the Tang Dynasty.
The wealthy families abandoned the sense of land, thus alleviating the contradiction between the people and the people competing for land.
At this time, the amount of land owned by the people in Hangzhou and Vietnam was already more than twice that of the surrounding prefectures and counties, and as long as it was not because they were lazy, it was more than enough to feed their families.
The affluent life and military victories gave the people of the two states great material and spiritual satisfaction.
The prosperity of Hangzhou and Vietnam has once again caused a wave of immigration of the people of the surrounding prefectures and counties.
However, this time it is not like the drought that is sadistic, like a tidal wave, and it is a long stream of water, trickling into the sea
