Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

After a casual chat, Li Lizhi stayed behind to accompany the female stewards, while Yuchi Baoqi headed to the last table. This table could be said to be full of talented players.

Li Chunfeng held three smooth copper coins in his hand, his eyes closed tightly, and he muttered something.

Sun Simiao was talking to Yuan Tiangang about something with the rice bowl in his hand, while Master Xuanzang kept telling the people around him anecdotes about his trip to Tianzhu to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

"They say it's hard to get scriptures and difficult to travel. I took the train all the way from Chang'an, transferred two stations and arrived at the Protectorate of the Western Regions. I went to find the city lord with the letter your majesty gave me. Three hundred cavalry took me I will open the way to Tianzhu."

"There is no railway, so the road is difficult to walk, mainly because I am not breathing well, but fortunately, 300 young men are taking me on horses. I can rest at any time. After I have rested, I can continue on my way."

"It's very easy. When I get to Tianzhu, the people who receive me are officials from the Tang Dynasty. I can take away as many scriptures as I want. Do you want any scriptures? Just bring them to you."

When Yuchi Baoqi saw Master Xuanzang with his bald head, he knew who he was without any introduction.

"Master Xuanzang, how can you sit at the same table with the Taoist master if you don't drink alcohol or meat?"

Master Xuanzang waved his hand: "Your Majesty, I do not eat meat or fish and do not prevent others from eating or drinking. If I force others to do the same thing as me, that is not good."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded slightly, then looked at Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang: "What are the two gods talking about?"

Sun Simiao was a little embarrassed: "The doctor at Daomen Mountain has five methods of divination. The old Taoist is good at medicine and fortune-telling. He is talking about divination with this junior brother."

Yuan Tiangang was not so formal: "Your officer of the Tianwei Army, the one who wants to marry Semu, met someone before who wanted to ask for a fortune."

Yuchi Baoqi scratched his head: "Then you can just do the math for him. Calculating the horoscope shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

Li Chunfeng on the side still kept his eyes closed, and Yuan Tiangang murmured: "It wasn't that difficult originally. I went overseas with the King of England and learned about the time difference. The Talas have a time difference with us. This Master didn’t teach me either.”

"No, Ah Feng is exhausting his efforts right now, listing all the time differences, and then making the horoscope together."

Yuchi Baoqi thought for a while: "The time difference between Talas and Datang is three hours, which is three hours behind us. They still seem to have no darkness in the afternoon."

After listening to Yuchi Baoqi's words, Li Chunfeng opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a faint golden light: "Shang Shang, a match made in heaven, like a fish in water, the world is unified."

Yuan Tiangang followed Yuchi Baoqi's instructions of three hours' delay and began to make calculations. The conclusions he reached were very similar, and they were all stable and improving.

Yuchi Baoqi coughed twice: "Well, this is the last table for us. I'll have tea instead of wine to pay homage to all Taoist masters and masters. I also want to thank Sun Shenxian and Yuan Zhenren for what they did when I was unconscious."

After bidding farewell to this table, Yuchi Baoqi returned to Li Shimin's table. To his surprise, no one was very drunk. Yuchi Baoqi thought he had gone to the wrong place.

"Nowadays, the second generation waits until the war is over to be stationed there. Few of them have actually been on the battlefield. After the decline of the rest of us, I don't know if they can withstand the pressure."

Cheng Yaojin grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed hard: "What are you afraid of? As long as they follow Xiaobao and listen to Xiaobao, what are you afraid of? There's so much pressure."

Qin Qiong sat silently on the chair, while Yuchi Jingde was eating and drinking and did not join the conversation.

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, cleared his throat: "I want you to tell me, or you can finish your work in one battle, so that future generations will not say that our ancestors did not conquer much territory for them."

Li Ji chuckled lightly: "What you said is simple, save people and lose territory, save people and lose territory, if you have nothing to do, go to Tianwei Army to listen to the review. Now, all the enemies surrounding Datang are gone. "

"Take down all the territories outside and govern them? If you don't govern them, it won't be our Datang's territory in a hundred years. Governance? Have you ever thought about how many officials and material investment are needed? What's the benefit of occupying it?"

Li Shimin finally spoke: "We won't fight for the time being. I'm really too busy to win. You just have to fight outside. Logistics and transportation, troop delivery, and soldier treatment are all very long fronts. Have you considered it? Have you considered me? I have considered it. Ever!"

Yuchi Baoqi slipped out at this time: "That's right, not everyone has the logistical support of our Tianwei Army. They fight and kill every day, so why not streamline the army."

All the generals looked at Yuchi Baoqi, who shrugged: "Disarmament, disarmament. The problem in Datang now is not that there are not enough sergeants, but that the grassroots law enforcement departments are understaffed."

"I think anyone over the age of thirty-five can retire from the army and re-employ, and can be arranged to work as a police officer in the Tang Dynasty to help people deal with various emergencies."

"When you encounter local gangsters, village bullies, etc., they were once part of the regular army. Doesn't that mean you can pinch them with your hands?"

"Also, are these veterans really going to stay in the military camp for the rest of their lives? Will the combat effectiveness of the entire army be affected?"

Li Ji muttered: "Isn't this killing the donkey?"

Yuchi Baoqi smiled: "Not only is it not about killing the donkey, but it is a virtuous circle. For retired veterans, the court will pay monthly veterans' military fees, and in addition, they will pay a lump sum of money to help them settle down."

"Issuing veterans' certificates, Baoli Commercial Bank provides a 20% discount on all basic supplies, and subsidies are given back to these retired soldiers."

"At the same time, those who are willing to become police officers will be sent to various places and regions to join the ranks. If nothing happens, they will retire at the age of fifty-five."

Li Jing looked at Yuchi Baoqi: "This is a good way to lay off veterans and wounded soldiers. It gives them enough room to live, and follow-up guarantees are also followed up in a timely manner."

"It's just that after the dismantling of the Tang Dynasty's overall military strength, how will it be replenished?"

Yuchi Baoqi clapped his fingers: "The birth rate in the entire Tang Dynasty should be very high now, and the population will increase exponentially in ten years. By then, all ordinary soldiers will be abolished, and the Tianwei Army will officially replace all armies."

"My idea is to divide the current Tang Dynasty into five war zones, each with a commander in the southeast, northwest, and central areas. They will rotate every five years. The soldiers will not recognize people, only generals, to prevent the occurrence of armed separatism."

"In this way, Datang's military strength will reach an unprecedented height."

"The Central Theater Command is responsible for unified dispatch and assembly. In addition, the research and development of weapons, equipment upgrades, and troop allocation are all directly planned and executed by the Chang'an Command."

All the generals including Li Shimin looked at Yuchi Baoqi, imagining the situation he described.

Li Shimin swallowed his saliva and said, "No matter what happens, once Central Chang'an gets the news, it can take action immediately. Even if there are external problems, strong men cut off their wrists and mobilize domestic troops, they will be invincible."
