Tang's dining table

Chapter 173 Tuyuhun mercenaries?

Gongsun is very rich, especially after she cooperated with Cui in the quilt and down jacket business. The money she has has exceeded the upper limit of the money a kabuki can have.

She was respected and loved by many kabuki performers in Heikanbo and was given the title Gongsun Auntie. She can be said to be the first performer in Heikanbo.

However, such a beautiful woman who was proficient in martial arts and had good skills was unable to even fight back under the attack of a group of servants led by Pei Xingjian's wife Lu.

It's not that Lu and the servants she leads are highly skilled in martial arts, it's just that she is the wife of the fifth-rank magistrate of Chang'an County, and at the same time, she is also the daughter of the Minister of War.

The assets that Gongsun was proud of in the past are not as good as Naha, a girl who is swinging around with a stick, not as good as the fat lynx with its teeth bared, clawing and biting, and not as good as the fat maid dancing behind. Cheering Naha and Lynx on their feet.

Yunchu had seen Pei Xingjian's cursive writing and Gongsun's sword dance, and they complemented each other well. He had seen the beautiful scene of the two sword dancing and finally embracing each other. At that moment, even Di Renjie, who had coveted Gongsun for many years, had to admit that, They are a match made in heaven.

Watching the limping Gongsun follow Naha to the back house, Pei Xingjian sighed, took a sip of tea and said to Yun Chu, "When will you take up the post of Wannian County Lieutenant?"

Yun Chu said in surprise: "I just took the exam this morning. Even if I already know that I got ninth place, now, if you ask me when I will take office, are you a little too impatient?"

Pei Xingjian stood up, walked around in circles on the ground impatiently, and took another sip of tea. It seemed that all the irritability in his body was swallowed by him with a sip of tea.

"I want to reorganize the Tuyuhun people in Chang'an. If possible, I also want to incorporate them into the army."

"I think you are overthinking it. If you want to incorporate the Tuyuhun people into the army, you must give them corresponding treatment. If you give them permanent business in other places and share the land, they will definitely not do it.

The Ministry of War will not agree to giving land near Chang'an, and the Ministry of Husbandry will not agree. Moreover, it is also very unfair to the existing soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

By the way, is there an extra inch of official land in Chang'an County? "

Pei Xingjian frowned and said, "It's strange. As soon as the soldiers we sent to Dafeichuan to assist the Tuyuhun people in fighting arrived at Dafeichuan, their combat effectiveness would be reduced by more than 30%. Moreover, the braver the soldiers, the greater their combat effectiveness." Much weakened.

Headache, dizziness, breathlessness, general weakness, and sometimes just a small wind chill can kill a strong soldier.

For this reason, there was a lot of discussion between the DPRK and the Central Committee, and they used the arduous battle of Duke Wei's surprise attack on a snowy night as an example, accusing the soldiers of not being as good as before, slacking off, and no longer able to fight a slightly harder battle.

Sun Shenxian personally visited Dafeichuan two years ago for this purpose. After experiencing it personally, Sun Shenxian believed that it was not because our soldiers were slacking off.

But I encountered a disease called Qi plague. It was said that this disease can only be seen when you go up to high mountains. The terrain of Dafeichuan is high, just like the mountains. As long as you reach a certain height, your heart and lungs will lose nearly half. effect.

But the strange thing is that the Tubo people do not have such symptoms, and neither do the people living in the Dafeichuan area.

For this reason, I want to train one or two Tuyuhun soldiers from Zhechong Prefecture in the same way as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and put them into the future battlefield of Dafeichuan.

The matter is serious and we must not delay it. "

Yun Chu laughed again after hearing this. It was okay to form mercenaries to fight in a small way. As long as there was a big war, the mercenaries could run faster than rabbits, and they might even implicate the real Tang Dynasty. Soldiers.

So what if the Tuyuhun army was given all Tang weapons and equipment?

By then, maybe the Tuyuhun army will become the Tibetan people's favorite transport team captain.

After defeating the Tuyuhun puppet army, the Tubo people changed their equipment on the spot, and their combat power immediately increased significantly.

Yunchu was familiar with this progressive relationship.

The savages should have a savage style of fighting, just like the Afghan militia can fight away the torrent of steel and strong ships and cannons.

The Tang Dynasty will definitely support Tuyuhun. It depends on the method of support. If the Tubo people can be held back in Tuyuhun for a long time, this should be the most cost-effective situation for the Tang Dynasty.

"You don't have that much money to equip your so-called Tuyuhunfu military unit. People will not help you according to your wishes and fight to the death for you. The only thing that can make them determined to fight the Tubo people is their pastures and their home, their cattle, sheep, wives, children, and children.

In other words, if there is nothing behind them that they need to protect, they will definitely run away. "

Pei Xingjian pondered for a moment and said: "I am going to take out some of the cities and towns in Chang'an City that are under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County and re-open them. Then I should be rich."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "This is a good idea, but don't flip too much in the early stage. I'm worried that there aren't that many rich people in Chang'an City. If your house can't be sold, and you can't pay for the labor and materials, your It’s going to be big trouble.”

"I use the Ministry of Works!"

"If you want to make money, try to have as little contact with the government as possible. Once the Ministry of Industry finds out about the benefits, believe it or not, you won't be able to make a single profit from your little Chang'an County, not to mention the wasted work."

"That's impossible. I have a lot of use for this money."

"Your Majesty's Jiucheng Palace was washed away by a flash flood and needs to be rebuilt. Is this a big deal?

The victims of the disaster in Hebei need money to buy food relief. Is this a big deal?

There are swarms of tigers and leopards in Taibai Mountain, and they have harmed a village. A large number of people need to be organized to go into the mountain to kill the tigers. Is this a big deal?

Many officials had not received their salaries two years ago, so they were wearing rags and crying in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Is this a big deal?

I took the exam this morning. Four of the five policy questions discussed were about the insufficient annual revenue of the imperial court.

Why do you think that your formation of two Tuyuhun Zhechongfu coalitions is more important than the above things?

You'd better come quietly, quickly sell some houses, quickly build the army you want to form, and then quickly hand it over to Ying Gong and the others for disposal.

Slow down, those people whose eyes change color when they see money can accuse you of evil intentions, do you believe it? "

"How can we do it faster?"

"Learn from me, collect money first, then build a house..."

Pei Xingjian left worriedly. He originally wanted Yunchu to help him build a house to make money and do military affairs. However, Yunchu saw it and gave him a lot of ideas, but he never took the initiative to mention them from beginning to end. Help him with things.

This made Pei Xingjian very annoyed and a little unconvinced. He felt that what Yun Chu could do, why could he not do it?

After seeing off Pei Xingjian, Yunchu asked Cui to inform the craftsmen on the Guangfufang construction site that they could immediately start the construction of the second phase of Guangfufang's 200 houses, striving to complete the first phase of the project and at least the second phase of the project. The construction was only completed halfway through. To this end, they needed to recruit more people and not miss the night.

Di Renjie ate so many apricots that his teeth fell out. He held a mouthful of warm water in his mouth and slowly waited for relief.

He spat out the warm water in his mouth, wiped his hands and said, "I think this method is quite good. Isn't it possible to help him?"

"Why should we help him when something is doomed to fail? The most important thing he should ask me about today is the air plague that Sun Shenxian mentioned, not the bullshit Tuyuhunfu military unit."

"Do you know what the disease is?" Di Renjie's eyes began to light up again. This guy was not generally interested in some side knowledge.

"To be precise, airborne disease is not a disease, but a physiological discomfort."

"How did it happen?"

"There is only one reason - climbing too high. As long as you return to the lower place, all the uncomfortable symptoms will disappear immediately."

"Why are the Tubo and Tuyuhun people not affected?"

"That's because they have lived in high places all year round, and their bodies have long adapted to it. Soldiers from the Tang Dynasty rarely have the opportunity to go to such high places, so they naturally become uncomfortable. When they go up there, they will suffer from headaches, chest tightness and other problems. At this time, they don't know what's going on, and they will be like ants on a hot pot, but they don't know that doing so will only aggravate the condition.

In fact, as long as they don't move around, don't drink, and don't eat too much every day, many of the symptoms will disappear after three to five days. After half a month, they will slowly start restorative training. Generally, after two months, they will be completely healed. The place in Sichuan can be fully adapted to it and can fully restore its combat effectiveness. "

"If that's the case, why did the Tang Dynasty send so many troops, and why haven't they adapted yet?"

Yun Chu sighed and said: "The people who were just sent up will get sick, and then a large group of people will get sick, and then some people will die inexplicably. The officers are afraid, so they will withdraw them and send some new ones." When the army goes up, there is no time to adapt. Of course, every army will fail, and every army will not be able to stay in Dafeichuan."

After Yun Chu finished speaking, he stared at Di Renjie fiercely. Di Renjie licked the apricot in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of sending you to Dafeichuan to serve as a soldier."

"It's best that you don't have such thoughts. My thoughts are all in Chang'an and I have no intention of wandering around anywhere else.

I don’t even want to be like Cheng Yaojin, a seventy-year-old man who has to ride a horse and travel tens of thousands of miles to chase and kill a rebellious savage. "

Yun Chu was not very satisfied with the life he lived in Chang'an, let alone going to Dafeichuan. It was not like he had never been there before, but he was traveling to Longyang Gorge.

Driving a car, bringing hot pot, and accompanied by beautiful girls and music, he only stayed there for three days in total. He made steamed mutton buns in the morning, braised mutton at noon, and barbecued mutton at night. After a few days of eating, his mouth was full of tears, and he thought I wanted to get some fish from the reservoir to eat, and I happened to catch up with people putting out fish fry, but fish were not allowed to come out of the reservoir.

Going to Dafeichuan now?

In a place where it starts to snow in August, even the shepherds are driving their sheep to move pastures. What can they eat?

Could it be that you want to eat the blue sheep, a specialty there?

Recalling his encounter with the blue sheep fighting for a foothold on the cliff of Tianshan Mountain, Yun Chu felt cold all over. He never wanted to experience that kind of situation again in his life.
