"The king of Luzon was given the envoy of the Luzon Festival, and he was specially given the festival to oversee the army, people, finance, and government of the Luzon Kingdom.
Giving the army to Zhenhai" "Grant the envoy of the Mulu County King Liemulu Festival, and give the special festival to oversee the military and civilian finances of the Mulu County Kingdom, and give the army number to be far away."
Above the golden palace, the chamberlain read the edict loudly.
The court divided the princes, and the king and the county king all gave the envoy of the festival and awarded the military title.
And the prince of the country, the prince of the county, the prince of the county, and the marquis of the county were all given defense envoys and military numbers.
The county uncle, the county son, and the county man were all given regimental training envoys, and regimental training numbers, and the number of soldiers and horses led by them was a certain regiment of Datang to practice a certain regiment.
The title of Jiedu envoy, which was set up and withdrawn several times in the Tang Dynasty, was a very temporary title, which was used to lead the military and political affairs of several states in wartime, so as to facilitate the command and command of logistics.
And now, the imperial court has given the princes the posts of festival envoys, defense envoys, and regimental training envoys, which is actually a recognition of the princes' support for the military and the government, and these names are the envoys of the imperial court, so that the princes can add these envoys, which also means that although the princes founded the country, they still belong to the courtiers of the imperial court.
Parliament, House of Lords.
Today, there are more than 8,000 nobles in the Tang Dynasty, more than 5,000 real nobles, and more than 3,000 real nobles who have obtained the qualifications of parliamentarians as adults.
Of these more than 3,000 councilors, more than 300 nobles were finally elected to serve as senators in the Hanjing House of Lords.
"Now the House of Nobles will vote on the application submitted by Zhang Jing, the Duke of Liuqiu, to send troops to Luzon, and the senators are invited to vote in turn."
Wei Zheng, the aristocratic dean, presided over the meeting.
The princes were not allowed to cross the borders of the territory privately, and if they wanted to develop and use troops abroad, they had to apply to the imperial court first.
This time, Liuqiu's soldiers and horses did not go to colonize abroad, but received a request from Zhang Chao, the king of Luzon, to send troops to support and deal with the natives in Luzon.
The application was submitted to the Imperial Court, reviewed by the House of Nobles of Parliament, and finally voted on by the senators.
Wei Zheng began to roll call, and each time the name of a senator was read, the senator had to reply for or against.
"In favor" "In favor" "In favor" Zhang Jing, the prince of Liuqiuguo, was the eldest son of Zhang Chao, the king of Luzon, and his son sent troops to help Lao Tzu pacify the natives who were dissatisfied with the feudal country, which was as natural as the son paying off his father's debts.
What's more, Zhang Chao's influence in the parliament is so great in the government and the opposition.
The vote was not surprising, and there were many supporters, all in favor.
The vote was extremely fast.
According to the statutes of the Parliament, a vote is passed as long as more than half of the votes are in favor.
A total of 360 senators in the parliament were finally approved by 360 votes.
"Three hundred and sixty votes in favour and none against, and I now declare that the vote is adopted.
The Duke of Liuqiu County and the Zhendong Jiedu envoy can lead the Zhendong Army to send troops to Luzon, and help the Luzon king and Zhenhai Jiedu envoy Zhang Chao to use troops against the indigenous people in the feudal country. ” The gavel fell heavily with a thud.
This is the first time that the Senate has voted on the proposal of the princes to send troops, and it was unanimously passed, which made everyone feel good.
Bashang grassland, Zhangbei.
The king of Mulu County, the marshal of the Southern Ya, and the marshal of the Northern Expedition, Su Dingfang, led the army to line up in the grassland.
The grassland on the dam in July is very cool.
On the open dam, the Tang army set up a formation.
The 80,000 infantry consisted of one large infantry formation after another, and the two flanks were 40,000 cavalry troops.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the princes served as the rear army and the general reserve.
On the green steppe, countless red flags of the Tang Army.
To the north of the Tang army, there were the Tiele tribes led by Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan, as well as the combined forces of the Murowei, Jinya, Xia, Xi, and Khitan tribes. 300,000 coalition troops, claimed to be 500,000.
Countless soldiers and horses filled almost the entire grassland, and there was no edge in sight.
Su Dingfang wore armor on his head, and under the handsome banner, he looked excited.
To command such a huge army and fight a decisive battle with such a huge enemy, if it weren't for Zhang Chao, Li Jing, and Li Ji not being able to come, it would not be his turn.
Even Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji, etc. have more qualifications than him.
"Your Majesty promised Wang Xuance that if he captured Tanesha, he would be crowned King of Tanesha.
You say, 'I will defeat such an enemy army in a while, and the court will give me something to do."
Su Dingfang gave up defending Zhangjiakou and Datong, and even gave up defending Zhangbeicheng, and ran to this endless grassland on the dam, just to force Yi Nan to fight a decisive battle.
He wants to make Yi Nan think that there is a chance.
However, even if he gave up the city and fought a decisive battle in the grassland, Yi Nan would not want to win.
Today is the death of Yi Nan, and it is also the day when he is proud of the world.
The wind howled, the horses neighed.

The two armies faced each other, but neither immediately attacked.
"Why don't we attack first?"
asked a staff officer.
Su Dingfang shook his head.
"Don't worry, the Tiele people will definitely be even more composed."
The other side is basically cavalry, and if you ride a horse, it counts.
They have more mobility, so they have a stronger desire to attack.
However, Su Dingfang didn't think that they were all cavalry, if they were cavalry if they rode horses, the 80,000 infantry behind him could also be considered cavalry.
Because these infantry are all mounted infantry.
But did Datang count them as cavalry?
No.
The division of troops in the Tang Dynasty is very strict, the cavalry is not only a soldier on horseback, but also a strictly trained, the cavalry is strictly trained, the war horse is also strictly trained, and they are well-equipped, each horse has three war horses, the cavalry has a riding bow, a riding spear, a riding knife, and even a three-eyed gun without a riding spear.
They also had cavalry armor, they had cavalry shields.
The cavalry was divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry.
The hoplites consisted of armoured cavalry and cuirassiers, as well as cuirassiers with helmets and cuirass.
Among the light cavalry, there are several kinds.
Among them, the light cavalry with the saber as the main weapon and the speed of the assault on the enemy's line of defense was called the hussar.
And the cavalry who uses the riding bow as the main weapon, and is good at riding and archery, is the rangers.
The cavalry, which used spears and muskets as their main weapons and were equipped with rope armor, were able to fight the infantry phalanx to a certain extent, because their spears were nine-foot spears, equipped with firearms and grenades, and equipped with iron armor, which had a good attack ability against the infantry phalanx.
This kind of light cavalry is called a lancer.
Hussars, rangers, and lancers, three types of light cavalry, are good at assault, mounted archery, and breaking formations.
Of course, the one who really has the ability to break the formation is still the heavy cavalry.
The armored cavalry was the most powerful heavy cavalry and was called the dragoon, while the heavy cavalry equipped with cuirass was known as the iron cavalry.
For one cavalry alone, Datang has two types of light and heavy.
Any cavalryman's equipment can make the Tiele people drool.
Even the infantry of the Don Army was not incapable of fighting the cavalry.
These infantry, there are also light and heavy infantry, there are sword and shield infantry, there are spear infantry, there are bow and crossbow infantry, and there are also musket infantry.
There was even special artillery.
Su Dingfang did give up the fortress of Jiancheng and took the initiative to come to the grassland where there was no danger to defend.
But the hundreds of thousands of emperor's guards are a mobile fortress.
He didn't even need chariots, he didn't need chariots to form a chariot formation on the steppe for protection.
Because he didn't need it at all, the large formation of these infantry cavalry was not afraid of the steppe cavalry at all.
Opposite side.
Zhenzhu Khan Yinan put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and frowned.
Looking left and right, the Tang people's military formation is invulnerable.
Especially under the sun, the armor on the Tang people, he was really drooling with envy.
Almost everyone, whether cavalry or infantry, had armor.
Even many of the horses were clad in iron and leather armor, and the most inferior of the infantry was leather armor.
The dog bites the hedgehog and has no way to put its mouth down.
"Great Khan, the Tang cavalry is few, and they dare to go out of the city to fight, this is our chance to annihilate them in one fell swoop."
Yi Nan stroked his beard, hesitating.
Compared with the luxurious equipment of the Tang people, although the number of people on his side far exceeds that of the Tang army, the soldiers put together by various departments have a variety of equipment, and they are messy, especially the armor, which is very lacking.
Most of them are wearing leather armor, and less than one in a hundred has iron armor.
But the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent.
If he retreats like this, who will be able to believe him on the prairie in the future.

Take a gamble, and bet that the Tang army will not be able to withstand the impact of so many of his cavalry.
No matter how much armor and shields there are, it is also infantry.
Yi Nan nodded.
The horn sounded.
The impatient Zhubu who had been waiting for a long time finally screamed excitedly.
The battle is about to begin, and you must grab a few more pieces of Han armor in a while.
The shining iron armor makes people's eyes red.
A piece of armor is worth at least a lot of cattle and horses.
The trumpets of the Tielers were heard.
Su Dingfang smiled.
At last, the Tiele people couldn't hold back and were going to die.
"Pass the order down, change the formation, and use the Pinghu big array" Pinghu Great Array, which is the divine array created by Su Dingfang's teacher Zhang Chao, is characterized by stepping against riding, which is actually a hollow array.
The biggest feature of the Pinghu Great Array is that it is a small hollow array, which eventually forms a super-large military array.
A small formation of one or two hundred people was next to each other, but there was a gap in the passage.
The hollow array is surrounded by shields and spears, and inside are crossbowmen, grenadiers, and musketeers.
At this time, the cavalry withdrew to the flanks and rear to protect the artillery and heavy crossbows.
The enemy cavalry charged, and the horses instinctively did not charge into the spears, they would deliberately drill into the gaps.
And this formation is a 360-degree firepower without dead angles, and the war horses avoid it, but they can only be beaten passively.
One small hollow array after another, forming crossfire.
And let the defenders not only take blows on one side, but let the enemy go deeper, so that the enemy cavalry can bear a larger blow surface, and the hollow array can also protect the wounded cavalry.
This array is actually a variant of the Spanish large phalanx, which changed the dense phalanx of the large phalanx into a hollow array of circles.
"At that time, the Goguryeo people were defeated by my teacher, and at that time, the teacher led only a new army.
And now, I am leading the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven, which is well-equipped, well-trained, and numerous. ” "Hu Qi rushed in, it is equivalent to being surrounded by us, and if you don't come in, you will be consumed outside.
As for the desire to shoot, I also have cavalry-protected artillery and heavy crossbows on both flanks, which can make them even more desperate. ” Su Dingfang said very proudly, "The moment Yi Nan launched the attack, he had completely lost." t1706231537:
