Great Tang Southern Emperor

"The end is here."

"I ordered you to lead [-] light cavalry to advance quickly towards the Crescent River along the right road, and conduct strict investigations. If you find anything, contact us with signal flares."

"The last general has orders." The left, middle and right are the three best offensive routes agreed upon by Li Jing and everyone, and they are now just used to quickly advance for investigation.

"Xue Rengui." After ordering the three generals, Li Jing looked at Xue Rengui again.

"The end is here."

"I ordered you to lead five hundred fine cavalry to search for Xue Yantuo's remnant soldiers and persuade Ba Zhuo to participate in the battle. Is it possible for you to do it?"

"The last general will definitely go all out." Xue Rengui took the general order sonorously, and the others couldn't help showing envious expressions. This is simply a gift for nothing—after Xue Yantuo was defeated, there was only so much pasture left to graze. There are many, as long as you walk a few more steps, you can find anything.As for persuading Ba Zhuo, this is even easier. Ba Zhuo was first killed by Tu Midu and killed his father, and then Tu Midu burned the 10,000+ elites to nothing, and was annexed by [-]% of the clan Min, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the strength to take revenge, Bazhuo would have fought Tumidu desperately. Now that he heard the news, he was in a hurry with you not to let him join the battle.

"Qibi Heli."

"The end is here."

"This commander ordered you to prepare more generous gifts, and sincerely invite all the grassland tribes to participate in this battle. The more the better."

"The last general gets orders." This is what Qibi Heli is best at. Besides, Li Jing didn't give him a standard. It's nothing more than a question of how many tribes participated in the war.

"Zhang Shituo."

"The end is here."

"I order you"

"Order."

"Li Zhishan."

"The end is here."

"I will kill you"

"Order."

Li Jing's orders were issued in an orderly manner, from the vanguard to the logistics, which made Li Zhen next to him watch with relish and opened his eyes.

Soon, everyone in the tent dispersed, only Li Zhen and Li Jing were left.

"The commander?" Li Zhen saw that Li Jing also wanted to leave, and quickly pointed to herself and said, "Others have missions, so where is the mission of the guardian?"

"Your Highness." Li Jing hesitated before whispering, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to give you the task, but that I really can't."

"I can't give it? What do you mean?"

Li Jing struggled and said: "Your Highness, this should be easy to figure out, right? Officially speaking, you are the chief protector, and your position is above that of the minister. You even made me a commander-in-chief. How can I give you an order?" ?Privately speaking, you are a prince, and the title is still higher than mine. I still can’t give you orders. Think about it carefully, since you came to our army, when did I give you a formal order? command?"

"Well, I understand, I'm going to see my cannon." Li Zhen said speechlessly, it's not a good thing to have a high status as a co-author, so I can only find a task for myself.According to Gao Ping, the cannons have been assembled, and Li Zhen has never seen more than fifty cannons fired in unison, so she can't help but look forward to it.

"It's a pity that the cannon was not used this time. It can only be used to train the artillery." Li Zhen regretted that this was the largest use of troops in the Tang Dynasty in the past five years. For a big war, it will have to wait until the ninth year of Zhenguan five years later, when the Tang Dynasty destroys Tuyuhun—and to be honest, that war did not involve a large scale at all. It's really boring to get things done.

After five years, this batch of cannons will probably be rusted long ago, and now the metal smelting industry of Qianhammer Workshop has already made a successful start by itself. It's not difficult. By then, this batch of cannons will also be outdated. It's better to use some waste in advance and try to train a batch of qualified artillery.

Of course, it is not completely useless, at least Li Jing has to take away ten cannons from Li Zhen - he has not forgotten that Huihe still has the Greek fire in his hand, and these ten cannons are prepared to resist the Greek fire Yes, but the remaining 45 were really useless, and Li Zhen was allowed to train the artillery.

In the following days, I hid behind to train the artillery, and the good news from the front line came one after another.

Datang is advancing at a speed of fifty miles per day, and can capture many prisoners every day. However, Huihe, which has a secret weapon, has not fully exerted the effect of the Greek fire. According to the intelligence of the captives, unexpectedly It is because there is too little oil, the grassland does not produce oil, Tumiduzuan's family property has been exhausted in the battle of Crescent River, and now the Greek fire is only a hollow.

Without the threat of the Greek fire, the army ran faster. It took less than ten days to completely penetrate the territory of the Huihe people, and the rest was to take the prisoners.

Immediately afterwards, a lot of news was gradually revealed. First of all, why Wuhe wanted to kill Tumidu with poison. It turned out that the commander had already anticipated Tumidu's ambitions, so he contacted Tumidu immediately. The dissatisfied Wuhe (the news that Wuhe's father was assassinated by Tumidu was also revealed), successfully developed Wuhe into a senior spy of the Tang army in Huihe through various threats and temptations.

But at this time, Tu Midu threatened Wuhe to go to Datang, which made him completely desperate, so on the same day, Wuhe took out the highly poisonous poison that Datang gave him, and smeared it all while dissolving the cattle and dividing the beef. On the beef, the first time everyone was poisoned, he united with his cronies to launch a coup.

So everything became logical. Although Wuhe was brave, he was really not good at commanding wars and governing tribes. Huihe, which was already chaotic, became even more chaotic under his governance.In the end, Datang succeeded in destroying Huihe, and the remaining remnant soldiers were chased and killed on the grassland by the Xue Yantuo people who harbored lingering hatred. The game of cat and mouse was going on all the time.

Afterwards, under Li Zhen's hint and coercion, Ba Zhuo also announced the disbandment of the Xue Yantuo tribe, and the grassland finally entered the most ideal structure of one super (the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty) and more weak (the tribes of the grassland). Li Zhen's painstaking efforts and many calculations were finally not in vain.

Next, as long as the Survivor Policy is successfully implemented, the northern prairie will truly fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the cycle of surrender and rebellion in the Qin and Han Dynasties will no longer be repeated.

The only question is Li Jing: When did this commander contact Wuhe?

Li Zhen smiled beside him without saying a word.

Chapter 224 Immigration and the End ([-] words)

1 Fifty Chapters Immigration and the End ([-] words)

It has been three months since the Battle of Huihe, Xue Yantuo and Huihe disappeared on the prairie, this is the real peace period, and after the official exchanges with Tang Dynasty, the grassland people finally gradually accepted Datang.

The Han people have never been a domineering nation, and after the Tang Dynasty ruled here, they also provided a lot of good policies, such as the immigration policy. After passing the assessment, the ethnic groups with good performance can move to the Central Plains to live. Heart of the prairie.

Why did the grassland people fight the Han people to death for generations?

Isn't it just to occupy the colorful world in the pass?

Now that you can move into the customs without fighting, who would be foolish to have conflicts with Tang people?

Not only have there been no conflicts, but in some places there have been scenes of family members of soldiers and civilians.

this day.

Li Zhen was trying to handle official duties, which was already normal. In order to exercise his ability, Li Jing and Xu Mao's guild specially selected some less important official duties for Li Zhen to handle by herself.

While Li Zhen was dealing with official business, Fang Yiai rushed in yelling, "Your Highness, the first batch of immigrants has arrived."

"Really? How many households have come?" Li Zhen was overjoyed, shouting endlessly. The first batch of people finally came. As long as there are no mistakes in the first batch, the rest will be much smoother.

"According to the leading officials, the first batch of 5000 households has a total of about [-] people." Fang Yiai also said happily: "They are all people from Ganzhou and Suzhou."

"Ganzhou and Suzhou? Why are there people there? Is there no one in the Central Plains or Jiangnan willing to come here?" Li Zhen was a little dissatisfied, not because the people in these two states were not good, but because these two places were originally There are too many people and too little land. The population is not enough. Now you have moved a large number of people here. What about the two prefectures of Gansu?According to Li Zhen's original intention, he planned to migrate some people from densely populated areas such as the Central Plains or Chang'an. This not only enriched the grassland, but also diluted the population of the original place, killing two birds with one stone.

"Oh, Your Highness, it would be nice to have someone come to this poor place like the grassland. Why are you so particular about it?" Fang Yiai also knew about Li Zhen's plan, but she couldn't help but said at this time: "Besides, the immigration policy is eternal. Unprecedented good governance, such a free gift of land has never happened in any dynasty or generation. With the simplicity and kindness of the people of the Tang Dynasty, it is inevitable that they will have doubts. If it is not really hard to live, no one is willing to come here."

"That is to say, the quality of this group of people is not good?" Li Zhen frowned even deeper.

"That's for sure." Fang Yiai said as a matter of course: "I have read it just now. Ninety-nine out of ten out of ten people are hungry and only have bones left, and a few are also pale and emaciated. But I also read carefully. Yes, although people are not good enough, they are all young and strong, and there are no old, weak, sick or disabled."

"It's more or less the same." Li Zhen's complexion looks a little better now, and she is not afraid of being thinner. There are plenty of meat on the grassland, and it can be recovered as long as it is raised for a period of time. I am afraid that the officials below will send some old, weak, sick and disabled—immigrants. The purpose of the policy is to enrich the grassland, not to support the ancestors.

"Go and see first."
