"The young men familiar with the Xianbei and Jurchens were transferred from Youzhou and Shenzhou. Of course, the Youzhou border troops also had to handle this." The way back to Jicheng was calm. After all, Sima Ji had been back for many years, and the people of Jicheng did not feel any fuss at all, but for the officials of Yan State who had received the letter, this matter was completely different.

"We must show our strength when we go to the north to meet the alliance. The Hu people recognize this, and I believe this." Sima Ji ordered the officials who rushed over without any notice.

It is better for people to live a more practical life. There is nothing wrong with the actions of using swords in the Han and Tang dynasties to negotiate with the Hu people. But when they drew their swords, they negotiated with the Hu people with bare hands and fists. Sima Ji cannot say that the Hu people are not good. They have not changed. It is because the Central Plains dynasty itself that has become stupid, so no one else can blame.

"The King of Yan wants to go north to join the alliance, but it is October now. The cold air is coming, which is not a good situation." Feng Ji was stunned for a moment. As he said, it is indeed not the most suitable time.

"The northern border is vast, not a problem that can be solved in a short time. What climate does not have much effect." Sima Ji smiled coldly. Unless he can go from Jicheng to the Mediterranean in half a year, and then from the Mediterranean to Jicheng, he will always be able to catch up with the cold weather. It would be great if he didn't go there. Stay in this way, either dealing with the barbarians or the Hu people. The more he plays chess with a bad chess, the more he plays chess, the more smelly it becomes.

"I want the elite of 60,000 elite troops, the best weapons protection, the most powerful war horses, and the fighting is enough to fight for ten. Every soldier must read the city gate notice, right words." Sima Ji leaned lazily on the throne and ordered weakly, "This is just the most basic requirement. As for battlefield rescue, the basic requirement for distinguishing the environment must not be left out. If Shenzhou is not enough, the expedition will be from Youzhou. If Youzhou is not enough, the expedition in Hebei is not enough. The expedition is the best cavalry, and the dismount is the infantry wearing a strong and holding a sharp edge. Our 30 million people in the Jin Dynasty cannot find 60,000 people, and we are not a military household who cannot eat enough."

Sima Ji only made some fine adjustments to the military system reform, mainly to improve the treatment of military households, not to regard the status of soldiers very low, and in fact, there is no need for any major adjustments. The Jin Dynasty itself had a lot of troops, and it was not the Ma Fangnanshan described in history. In terms of population and military proportions, it was even very suitable to be a military force, but the status of soldiers was indeed very low.

The soldiers who are currently enlisted in the army now don’t have to kneel down when they see non-regional civil servants. This alone is enough. If there is a choice, no one is willing to be inferior. As long as the soldiers and ordinary people show a little difference, it is completely enough in the agricultural society.

In Chinese history, as the dynasties went on, the hierarchy became more and more strict. The civil servants began to kneel down on the emperor with their ranks on the Ming Dynasty, and the civil servants started to kneel down on the Qing Dynasty. Of course, there were also some specialties in this regard, but they have not reached that level.

It is obvious that the military generals belong to civil servants, but they are subordinates, and the gap can be reflected in the same level. After Tumu Fort, the generals of my Ming Dynasty were either subordinates, but a group of vassals. Low-level civil servants could also show off their propositions in front of high-level generals. So they appeared. When they were in the Ming army, they were about to collapse and suddenly they became Qing army.

As for the Qing Dynasty, this matter was quite complicated because of the existence of the Eight Banners Army, but for civil and military personnel of the same level, the level was the same, but the salary was obviously higher than that of civil officials.

Let the Yan Kingdom go down to work as an official, Sima Ji spread out the map of Eurasia 6. He really wanted to say that this is the king's king's territory. Unfortunately, some places are destined to be inaccessible, so it would be good to grab a prize.

It depends on what the situation is in Persia. If the country is stable and the country is booming, it is not appropriate to come to the door to rob under the banner of the Jin army. Sima Ji is ready to pretend to be the Huns to attack. But if it is similar to the situation in the Tang Dynasty after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, or the Anshi Rebellion.

In that case, it is not impossible to come directly in the name of the Jin army. Everyone is the ruling class. Although it is the ruling class of two countries, it is natural for the ruling class to help each other. It can help Persia to support the country and the country. In this process, it is as much as you can grab, and then go to the east coast of the Mediterranean and prepare for your way home.

The troops needed to be used in Sima Ji's plan must be more than 100,000, and the Jin army will account for at least half. The remaining four Yidu Xianbei and Jurchen Eight Banners will be supplemented. If there are more, he will not be able to bear it.

Now Sima Ji has not found many examples of fighting against Western Asian civilization in history. The Battle of Talas cannot be used as a criterion for judgment. The two sides are just a military-level confrontation. The Anxi Protectorate and the Khorasan Governor's District are all far away from their core areas. Khorasan is a Persian place, and Anxi is also far from Chang'an.

What's more, the Arab Empire has begun civil war, and the civil war on the Tang Dynasty will begin soon. Although there are many statements about the number of people participating in the war in history, Sima Ji felt that both sides of the Battle of Talas were at best 20,000 to 30,000 troops from the headquarters, and some small countries that stood in the surrounding areas were servants.

This is completely different from the troops mobilized by Sima Ji. The Mongolian expedition has a lot of troops used for the Western Expedition. This can be used as a reference for Sima Ji, but it can only be a reference. The Mongolian's troops attacked Khwarezm, plus the servants said to have exceeded 200,000. There were also 150,000 troops in the Second Expedition.

After Sima Ji arrived in the Western Regions, of course, he could also recruit servants from the local area, but it would be impossible to lead 200,000 troops all the way. After all, King Yan was not a nomadic people, so he could only imitate the strategy and could not live the life of eating grass and drinking goat milk along the way.

"Why are you staying here when you come back?" While Sima Ji was pursuing the map, Yang Xin was standing with a group of concubines, carrying a sword box. After opening it, it shone with golden light, like a sword but not a sword, and was inlaid with the most precious gems. There were also decorative patterns and Persian texts. Yang Xin held the sword box and placed it on the table and complained, "What's the use of this thing? Are you short of this little money?"

"I have no money! Besides, why is it useless? The Western Regions must recognize it." Sima Ji first popped up a catchphrase and told Yang Xin that this thing is very useful. Ancient Chinese religions have been regarded as a thing that competes for influence with the emperor for a long time, so no matter how much dynasties attach importance to a sect, they will eventually have to be on guard against it.

But other civilizations are not like this. Religion is very important among other civilizations. If Sima Ji did not have common sense errors, many countries in the Western Regions should have recognized Zorozoicism. This matter is very simple. The ethnic components of many Western Regions are actually ethnic groups left over from the ancient Persian Empire. Later generations called the Eastern Iranian ethnic group, which was still early before the Turkicization.

Therefore, the social focus of the East Iranians turned to settlement, and the still nomadic East Iranians have been marginalized, so they are prone to merge with the Turks. The entire Central Asia formed a kind of opposition between East Iranian settlement and Turkic nomadic opposition, and then the East Iranians were marginalized.

So don't think that the Western Regions were under the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions, and there was no big difference between the local major ethnic groups and the Persian Empire. If the Sassanthesian Persia knew this statement since ancient times, it could be claimed so that it could be reasonable and legally held. Gaochang, where Zhou Ji was located, was established by the descendants of these Persian Empires in the early days.

"As long as I am well-organized, I will definitely be better than taking nothing and going there." Sima Ji glanced at Yang Xin, pointed to the position beside him and let the concubines sit down and said, "If you use it well, you can support a hundred thousand troops."

"I don't know the purpose of my husband going to the Western Regions. How far is there?" Yang Xin sighed, "I said I was going to the grassland and I had to change my way to the Western Regions. Isn't I not going back for a year?"

It must have been more than a year. Of course, Sima Ji did not say this sentence, and comforted him calmly, "I am also doing this for the sake of the Great Jin Dynasty. In the future, I can stay in Jicheng for a long time and live a peaceful life. It's just this time."
