Chapter 122 Wuhou Guzhi's first thoughts on the mercenaries
Chapter 122 Wuhou Guzhi's first thought of mercenary
"Your Highness, the beautiful princess, I'm very happy to see you!"
Chen Ying naturally knew that the Sassanian Empire was a dynasty in ancient Persia, but the Sassanian Empire in this era was not religious, so the dressing was completely different from that in later generations.
The angles are different, and the problems of observing things are different. Chen Ying looked at Minavar at this time and found that she was emitting a holy brilliance, and her every move was filled with a noble spirit that was difficult to see directly. For a princess, why did she pretend to be a maid and enter the bathroom of Gaochecheng for adventure?
Chen Ying can actually guess some of it. When the country is facing life and death, if there is really foreign aid to solve the survival crisis, it is estimated that any king will be willing to send his daughter to someone else's bed.
However, Chen Ying knew that as a minister, it was not his turn to make decisions about diplomatic relations. However, with Chen Ying's status today, he could influence Li Jiancheng's decisions through Li Jiancheng.
Chen Ying smiled faintly and said, "The Tang Dynasty will feel honored because of your arrival. Don't worry, when you come here, this general will provide you with the way to pass the way, and will also send an army to escort you to Chang'an along the way!"
Minaval shook his head and smiled slightly, "General Chen, I don't want to go to Chang'an, I just want to ask you to help our Sassanian Empire and help our poor citizens!"
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Your Highness, your Chinese is so fluent. I believe you should have some understanding of our Tang Dynasty. I am just a great protector of the Western Regions. The diplomatic relations between the two countries are not my Chen Ying. As for helping you, the Sassanian Empire, it is even more difficult. Although I was ordered to guard the Western Regions, I have no right to command the headquarters to fight for your Sassanian Empire!"
Minaval smiled and said, "Half General, I heard that Anubis, the god of hell, has a gold scale, which holds the soul of a sinner and burns gold. Only when the burning gold is raised high will the soul slide into hell. If the other side of the burning gold will be redeemed."
Chen Ying laughed silently: "Your Highness, the beautiful princess, although I have never heard of this, I know that money can make ghosts push the mill, but not all ghosts will sell their souls for money. Although I sympathize with you, the Sassanian Empire, without the imperial edict of our Emperor, this general will not mobilize a soldier!"
Minaval reluctantly smiled bitterly and said, "Will your emperor agree to the general leading his army to the west?"
"This..." Chen Ying pondered: "I really don't know much, but you can try it!"
"Try it?" Minaval frowned and sighed long: "Genius General, do you think your Emperor will agree? Will you help our Sassanian Empire? What price can your Emperor agree to send troops to help us? Even if I exchange my life, Minaval is willing."
Chen Ying was silent for a long time and sighed, "Princess Minaval, I deeply sympathize with your country's experience. However, this general is powerless. Please rest in Gaochecheng for a few days. A cavalry will escort you to Chang'an."
Minaval shook his head and said, "My teacher is a wise and knowledgeable man. He told me that there is no thing in this world that gold cannot solve. If one piece is not enough, then two pieces..."
Chen Ying laughed: "You should be a woman who has seen the world and even knows some court etiquette. Then, you should understand that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty has just begun. It is not in line with the interests of the Tang Dynasty if you are wrong. If I were you, you would never have meaningless arguments here, but try to think of a reason that can convince our Emperor. That is the most important thing!"
Minaval shook his head, looked at Chen Ying with her big eyes, and said in her ethereal and sad voice: "A kind general, the most precious thing of the Sassanian Empire is not gold, but the people of our Sassanian Empire, and Minaval's most precious thing is these knees!"
As he said that, Minaval slowly knelt down at Chen Ying.
Chen Ying stood up and looked down at Minavar, clapped his hands and said, "Your Highness, why are you doing this?"
As he said that, Chen Ying was about to walk outside.
Minaval's eyes were crying, and he gently untied his clothes: "Dear General, please help and help the poor people of the Sasanian Empire. They are now moaning painfully under the Turkic knife. Minaval swears to the God of Light, as long as you help the Sasanian Empire, I, Adah Hill Minaval, all of my soul, belong to you, and you can do anything to Minaval..."
However, Minaval is destined to be disappointed.
Chen Ying still left the festival without hesitation.
It is absolutely impossible for Chen Ying to be unmoved when facing such a beautiful and lovely person. But Chen Ying is not the selfless Virgin Mary. He must first take charge of the Western Regions.
In fact, Chen Ying's situation is not good now. Since Qu Wentai discovered that he could not break through the Tang army camp in Huaergou, he immediately abandoned the old and weak and retreated with his elite troops. Under the pursuit of Duan Zhigan's troops, Qu Wentai fled into the Yili River Valley with three thousand remaining troops. A blizzard falling from the sky isolated Duan Zhigan's troops' continued pursuit.
Duan Zhigan had to stay in Wensu.
After Murong Fuyun returned from Chen Ying, the army was defeated. Zhang Huaiwei was mostly heavily armed infantry, and his fighting power was amazing. Unfortunately, he was powerless to pursue the enemy. Before Chen Ying had completed the full encirclement, Murong Fuyun led the remnants of Tuyuhun's tribe to flee to the southern Bogda Mountains.
The characteristic of the Western Regions is that it is great. Murong Fuyun led his troops to join Chen Yingzang in the Bogda Mountains. Chen Ying had no choice but to rest in the snow-covered world.
If the Tuyuhun people cannot freeze to death in the mountains during this cold and long winter, Chen Ying will need to spend a lot of energy to clear the remaining part of Murong Fuyun in the next year.
In this situation, even with Li Yuan's imperial edict, Chen Ying could not lead his troops westward to help the Sassanian Empire.
Of course, if Minavar is smart, he will go to Chang'an in the spring of next year and establish diplomatic relations with the Li Tang court. Li Yuan will definitely not give up this opportunity to attack the Western Turks from both sides. Give up troops to attack the Western Turks was the national policy of the Tang Dynasty. If huge benefits can be obtained, why not do it?
In fact, even if this procedure is completed, Chen Ying has enough time to complete the settlement of Murong Fuyun's troops. As long as he clears out Murong Fuyun's troops, he believes that no one in the Western Regions will dare to rebel against the Tang Dynasty within more than ten decades. After all, the Yue Cavalry has created many unmanned areas in the Western Regions, and the destruction of dozens of tribes should allow people with dissented intentions to remember them.
The most important thing is that Chen Ying actually had a positive attitude towards supporting the Sassanian Empire. Of course, the condition first is that the Sassanian Empire has to pay a sufficient price. All ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions fear power but not virtue.
When Minavar appeared, Chen Ying's head roughly had a contour and a very vague memory.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang fully realized the bravery and good fighting of the barbarians in the South Central China. With the end of the Southern Central War and the restoration of peace, these fierce soldiers fell into unemployment. Leaving such power in the south was undoubtedly a great social instability factor.
After conquering Nanzhong, he used the local barbarian soldiers to establish a strong brigade. Zhuge Liang implemented a favorable policy of killing two birds with one stone, which was to recruit local barbarian soldiers to join the government army of Shu, and the funding problem was solved by local local tyrants. "Huayang Guozhi" records that Liang was ruthless and not a powerful man from the big surname, so he ordered gold and silk to recruit evil barbarians to become family members. The more Luan hereditary officials. Therefore, the barbarians were greedy for goods and subservient to the Han Han army, thus establishing local troops with the nature of using barbarians to control barbarians. The local tyrants gained social status and then settled down with the rule of Shu Han, and sent out Jin and dusk troops, which benefited all ethnic groups and eased ethnic conflicts. At the same time, these local unemployed soldiers became government troops, becoming the core of centripetal force among barbarians. The army they formed was familiar with folk customs and less stimulated problems.
In order to completely avoid the resurgence of the separatist forces in the south, Zhuge Liang was in charge of Zhuge Liang, Shu Kingdom was reborn as the powerful soldiers in the south. More than 10,000 Qing Qiang families were in Shu, and they were five tribes. They were called Feijun. This is the origin of Wudang Feijun. After the members of this army arrived in Shu County, they became military households of Shu Kingdom, serving as soldiers for generations and becoming professional soldiers. At that time, Chengdu and Nanzhong were incomparable. The Yi tribe in the south were always of great importance to war, so whenever there were vacancies, the southern people would run around and tell, and they would be proud of it. It reminded people of the scene where the British army recruited mercenaries in Nepal. Of course, the population in the south was not large at that time, with 20,000 households in Jianke County, 8,000 households in Jianning County, and 40,000 households in Xinggu County, and 10,000 households in Xinggu County, and 10,000 households in Xinggu County, which could be regarded as a cauldron for fighting.
In fact, Chen Ying also wanted to follow Zhuge Wuhou's old wisdom and draw all the young and strong men who were good at fighting in the Western Regions to form a mercenary army to fight the Western Turks. Anyway, the Sassanian Empire government paid the bill, and this army did not need to be supported by the Tang Dynasty at all. On the contrary, they could receive heavy rewards in the war. As long as Chen Ying could maintain relatively fairness and abundant rewards, this mercenary army would become stronger and stronger as the war was fought.
Once the wealth of these soldiers doubled and everyone became rich, they would lose their courage. If an army was all millionaires, their combat effectiveness could only be described as a slack. After all, only the poor will fight to the death and use their lives to gain wealth, but the rich will cherish their lives, and they will only enjoy wealth with their lives.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying picked up the pen and wrote down his ideas and sent them to Li Jiancheng, hoping that Li Jiancheng could support this important decision.
When winter comes, the Western Regions are completely isolated by ice and snow.
The winter in the Western Regions is the real birds flying across thousands of mountains and the people are extinguished. Whenever there are cold winters, countless tribes in the Western Regions will completely disappear, and the entire tribe and the entire tribe will collectively freeze to death. However, after Chen Ying arrived, this situation was greatly improved. In particular, the large-scale use of coal, especially the use of fire pits and fire walls, made the houses the people in the Western Regions enjoy the warmth of the Tang Dynasty.
The only reason nomadic peoples are difficult to control is because they have no place to live. But once they settle down, they will become the same as the Tang people.
Cowhide tents cannot isolate the cold, while fire walls and fire pits cannot be built in tents. Under the consideration of life and death, many nomadic peoples have all fallen in love with brick and stone houses. They can easily isolate the cold under the protection of fire walls.
Moreover, Chen Ying also promoted the artificial cultivation of alfalfa. Now the nomadic people in the Western Regions discovered that herding sheep was a very stupid behavior.
