Holding the Tang Dynasty Rome Friendship Treaty signed by the Roman prince and the prince of the Tang Dynasty and Li Chao, Li Chao couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Qian looked at Li Chao curiously, it was just a piece of paper, what was there to be so happy about.
There is no one else in the hall, and Cheng Qian no longer calls himself lonely, but is used to calling me directly.
"Teacher, are we really going to send troops to Persia?"
The peace covenant was written in duplicate in both Chinese and Greek.
"Go back and have the peace treaty handed over to the newspaper for printing, and it will be carved on a stone tablet for permanent preservation."
Li Chaodao.
"Teacher" "Of course we won't send troops."
Li Chao smiled and sat down.
It is really useless to sign this peace treaty with the Roman prince, and it is really useless to say that there is no treaty, which is the same as the Spanish and Portuguese signed an agreement in the Age of Discovery, and divided the earth, even if there is a pope to witness for them, but who can admit it.
But it's not completely useless, at least this is a formal agreement between the Tang Dynasty and Eastern Rome, and it is also a border demarcation agreement between the two countries.
This is a formal agreement, and there are no other great powers around the Caspian Sea today, but they are all small states, so this peace treaty between Tang and Rome can be said to be the actual division of power in Central Asia in the future.
The Persians would be unhappy, this violated their interests, but at least to the north, there was no objection to this demarcation.
"Let the Romans fight with Persia, and let us verbally promise them.
The Romans have long been thinking about counterattacking Persia, in fact, they have been fighting for several years, so we promised them first.
Let the Romans rest assured that they will fight with Persia, in this way, Persia will already have civil strife, and if they have to deal with the invasion of the Romans, they will no longer have time to think about invading Tocharian in our Tang Dynasty. ” Li Chao is ready to give the Roman prince a plan for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, well, anyway, the Tang Dynasty has already divided more than 3,000 nobles in the Western Regions, even if each nobleman counts as a hundred soldiers, this must have an army of 300,000.
Even if these Western Regions nobles of the Tang Dynasty are only on their own territory, it can also form a huge pressure on Persia, and from the side, it is also equivalent to a march on Persia.
Cheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "I really thought that the teacher was going to send troops to the Western Regions." ” "Where is Persia, we have already divided the Western Regions, so the focus in the next stage is not to attack Persia, but to control and stabilize the Western Regions.
Now there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Western Regions Dao, and there are only some patrols in the north of the Tianshan Mountains. ” "The imperial court should build the five towns in the north of the region as soon as possible."
Li Chao walked to the sand table and pointed to the huge area north of the Tianshan Mountains, "I suggest that the imperial court divide the northern area of the Tianshan Mountains into three provinces, the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the west of the Green Mountains, the north of the Wuhu Water, and the east of the Aral Sea, which can be set as the North Mountain Road. ” Li Chao pointed to the Caspian Sea again, and suggested that the Caspian Sea be named the West Sea, originally the imperial court had named the Aral Sea as the West Sea, so now Li Chao proposed to make the Caspian Sea the West Sea, because this is already the extreme of the Tang Dynasty's western frontier.
The area between the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea is called the Saikaido.
And the land of Tocharian south of Wuhu Water, as well as the place to the west, is set up as the Great Xia Road.
Bactria is one of the ancient countries mentioned by Zhang Qian after his mission to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, with millions of inhabitants.
And Bactria is also the correct pronunciation of Tocharo.
"In the first step, the imperial court immediately sent 30,000 troops into the Western Regions, built five military towns of Yili, Shaye, Dawan, Kangju, and Yueshi, and stationed garrisons.
Only by building a military town and garrisoning troops and horses can we control Shanbei. ” Li Chao's plan was still step by step, 30,000 horses, of which 5,000 were stationed in each of the five military towns, and the other 5,000 were used as patrol soldiers and horses.
Every time Shanbei is controlled, only then can the nobles of the feudal clan move safely to the past, and the safety of subsequent Han immigrants can be guaranteed.
As for Daxia Dao, the follow-up is to build a military fort and garrison first, and then immigrate.
Xihai Province, on the other hand, can only recruit local nomadic tribes first.
In the future, we will slowly explore the past. "30,000 troops in the early stage, that's a lot."
Cheng Qian pondered.
"Your Highness, where the Tang horseshoe steps and where the battle flag stands, is the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Without horses, swords, bows and arrows, it is difficult for this land in the Western Regions to survive. ” "You can transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses at once, and you have to build a city, which is very expensive.
This is a very important matter, and I have to report it to Your Majesty. ” Li Chao just smiled, "Your Highness is now the prince of the prison country, and the garrison of the Western Regions is just a trivial matter, and it is not too late to report back to Your Majesty."
Besides, didn't His Majesty also say that he would set up five military towns for the sons of noble officials before?"
"Where do the expenses come from?"
With such a large amount of money, the court has it, but it must go through Yang Gongren, but Yang Gongren is extremely old-fashioned, and he must report to the emperor first.
I don't know how much time I will lose.
Moreover, it is not a trivial matter to transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the transfer of soldiers and horses has to go through the examination procedures of the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the North and South Governments, which is very troublesome.
This also involves the replenishment of the original defense area after the transfer of troops and horses.
"Your Highness, I have an idea here.
In addition, many officers of the forbidden army will be transferred to the 12 guards of the southern yaya for training every year, and the forbidden army in the north will also be transferred to the border areas to rotate. ” Li Chao planned to recruit a group of soldiers, mainly Turkic people who moved inward, or veterans with military experience in the past, such as those soldiers who rebelled against the king in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then recruited some children of government soldiers, who were generally trained in martial arts.
From these men, who had fought in the war themselves, 30,000 soldiers were recruited.
Then, a group of graduated officers and officers to be delegated for training were selected from the Jiangwutang and the Beiya Forbidden Army to form an expeditionary and pioneering corps.
In this way, there will be fewer mobility involved.

"Equipment, grain and grass, Weiwei Temple has ready-made, and the armament of tens of thousands of people is enough at any time."
"Then these people are in Shanbei, are they considered government soldiers?"
In fact, Li Chao thinks that the standing army is better, and the government soldiers are peasant soldiers after all.
Now Datang is a soldier of the Southern Yafu and a forbidden army of the Northern Ya.
The forbidden army was a standing army, but it was small in number, and the government soldiers were peasant soldiers, and there were many of them.
"These 30,000 soldiers can be organized into government soldiers, with 1,000 people as a Zhichong Prefecture, and 30 Zhichong Mansions, which are stationed in the five towns of Shanbei, and 5,000 as rangers to patrol between the five towns.
Give them the land to divide the land, and they will not be allowed to enter the Beijing Guard, but they will be divided into five. ” Wuban means that the soldiers are divided into five classes in one military office, and one class is on duty for two months.
Ten months is a round, when on duty to assemble for training.
The rest of the soldiers were to farm at home, and they were also to be trained during the slack period, and those who were not on duty in time of war were also called up.
However, the exemption from entering Beijing does reduce a lot of burden.
From the Western Regions to Hanjing, even if you only need to be on duty for one month a year, it is estimated that it will take three months on this journey.
"I'm afraid that not many people may be willing to apply," Cheng Qian said, the Western Regions are too far away, what is the benefit of going to be a soldier.
"Divide more land, give the pen a settling-in fee, and the court will send them a set of equipment, so they don't have to bring their own."
Li Chao put forward a very preferential condition, after the government soldier system came out, the government soldiers have always been a relatively superior group, first, because they can share the land, and generally give priority to the government soldiers, and second, their fields do not pay rent.
In addition, when you are a soldier in battle, you will have the opportunity to loot the spoils of war, and it is easy to be promoted to an official position and be awarded a medal and so on.
For many poor landlords and ordinary people, this is also the only way they can have a chance to enter the official career.
However, now that the imperial examination system has come out, coupled with the new official system, it is easy for ordinary people to become officials.
Even under the new two taxes, in fact, the people's tax is no longer heavy.
Being a government soldier is far less attractive than it used to be.
In the past, if you wanted to be a soldier and have good people, you had to have money in your family, you had to be healthy, and you had to have many brothers in your family.
The children of ordinary landlords and heroes are the easiest to become government soldiers, but the average poor people can't, they can't even afford to buy equipment, and they don't have the conditions to train martial arts from an early age.
Now when people are soldiers, they all want to be in the forbidden army, and the forbidden army is a monthly salary and a profession.
And the government soldiers, there is no advantage.
"It's fine."
Cheng Qian thought about it, and finally agreed with Li Chao's plan, now the imperial court is still relatively rich, although there are many places to use money over the years, but after all, it is the beginning of the dynasty, the rule of officials is still relatively clear, and there is not much corruption in taxes.
The imperial court divided the land for the soldiers, exempted them from two taxes, and now bought them a set of equipment, they don't even have to bring their own equipment, this condition is good enough, the court also gave them a settlement fee, it is indeed a good treatment.
In particular, the targets of recruitment also include the internal migration of Turks, Nanban, Slang Fang, Shanyi and even the former slaves who were freed for free, which is also a good new start for them.
And the non-commissioned officers of this Western Regions Pioneer Corps are mainly interns from the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and the officers are mainly officers of the forbidden army.
The next day.
The content of the agreement between the Tang Dynasty and Rome was published in various newspapers and periodicals, but it did not cause any waves, but it was the recruitment order of the Western Regions Pioneer Legion of the imperial court, which aroused the interest of many people, and it was really surprising that the conditions offered above.
East Palace.
Yang Gongren refused to sign the withdrawal.
"Yang Xiang, there must be a reason for you to refuse to sign."
"Recruiting 30,000 soldiers and horses, such a major matter, but so sloppy, I didn't know anything in advance, let alone Your Majesty, so I want to sign and withdraw the money, it's impossible."
Cheng Qian's expression was not good.
Li Chao smiled and stopped the prince with his eyes.
"Yang Xiang, you should know that before Your Majesty left Beijing, he had granted the crown prince the power to supervise the country, and you should also know that the crown prince has been crowned, and now this Hanjing is really in charge of His Royal Highness the Prince."
"As an auxiliary minister entrusted by His Majesty, Yang is entrusted by His Majesty and should be loyal to his duties."
Yang Gongren did not give an inch.
Li Chao sighed, Yang Gongren was already old, old and mediocre.
It's not the shrewd old man of more than ten years ago.
"Yang Xiang, you are old, confused, dozing off in the court, and even drooling, Your Highness is discussing matters with you, and you often don't know what to ask."
Li Chao said to Yang Gongren.
Yang Gongren's eyes widened, "Wen Yuan, what do you mean by this?"
Li Chao ignored him, turned to Cheng Gan and said, "Your Highness, Yang Xiang is old and considerate, and His Highness should be considerate of the old minister." ” Cheng Qian understood, "What the Taishi said is true, Yang Xiang, from today onwards, you go back to your home to recuperate, you don't have to go to the court again, and you don't need to go back to the Shangshu Provincial Council, so you can recuperate at home with peace of mind."

If there is an important military matter, Lone will send someone to the government to ask for advice. ” "You" Yang Gongren was stunned.
Li Chao and the crown prince actually wanted to remove him from the power of the auxiliary minister in just a few words, and even deprived him of the post of prime minister.
To go home and rest is to let him stand aside and not let him take care of things anymore.
"Your Highness, the minister is not old" Yang Gongren shouted angrily, but he was so angry that he suddenly stood unsteadily and fainted.
Li Chao stepped forward to support Yang Gongren and said with a smile, "Yang Xiang, people have to obey the old."
Your Highness is also sympathetic to you, you have to appreciate it. ” Cheng Qian stepped forward to inspect it, and found that Yang Gongren just fainted, and breathed a sigh of relief, if he really angered Yang Gongren to death, he would also be responsible.
"Come here, pass on the imperial doctor, and send Yang Xiangguo back to his home to recuperate" Cheng Qian looked at Yang Gongren, who was carrying out with a long sigh, and was a little unbearable.
"Teacher, we do this, right?"
"Your Highness, we didn't do anything, look at Yang Xiangguo, he fainted just now, with such a body, how can he still take care of things.
Let him recuperate well in the house. ” Cheng Qian nodded, "It's okay." ” t1706231537:
