Chapter 1082 Jiannan Thirteenth Army
Pine State border.
In the Tubo camp, the young Songtsan Gambo listened to Gal Dongzan's report alone in the big tent, gritted his teeth and almost yelled.
"The Tang family bullied me too much!"
This highland arrogance has never suffered such a setback before. He was already impatient before he was forced to go to Songzhou Pass. Who would have expected that the people of Tang would ask for such a harsh request.
He forgot, it was he who bullied Datang first.
Qin Lang’s conditions for Tubo were indeed very harsh. Zanpu was required to choose one or two of the nine ministers to kill as an apology. Two silvers plus 10,000 cattle and horses each. Thirdly, Tubo withdrew its troops from Subi, and Subi, as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, would restore the country. Fourthly, Tubo sent the princess to Tang to serve as the concubine of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace...
Any one would be unacceptable to Songtsen Gampo, let alone so many.
"So, Qin Lang has no intention of peace talks at all?"
Dong Zan's face was pale, and he replied weakly, "I don't think Qin Lang doesn't seem to want peace talks, but the lion opened his mouth. If we really want to talk, I will definitely cut my flesh and blood this time, but I will definitely be able to talk about it in the end." .”
Bargaining.
It has always been Tubo who bullies others, now it is Tubo's turn to bargain with others?
"Zanpu, I heard from the Tang people that they were discussing the attack..." Gal Dongzan hurriedly reported the battle plan that the generals of the Tang army discussed earlier, although it was ominous, but These alone were enough to startle Zamp.
Thinking carefully, Tang Ren's counterattack plan is not like a bluff, because Zanpu knows the soldiers, so he immediately understands that Tang Ren's plan is very feasible.
The Tang people now have nearly 100,000 soldiers, and they are not at a disadvantage when they go out to fight.
"Send an order to summon the generals and ministers to discuss matters."
······
Songzhou.
Qin Lang still writes books and lectures every day, leaving military and government affairs to Su Lie, Han Wei and others, so he feels quite relaxed.
After Dong Zan went back to return to his command, he came to visit Leiguan again the next day. He only said that Zanpu sincerely pleaded guilty and surrendered. . Then he said that to marry the princess, a dowry needs to be prepared, otherwise it would be disrespectful, so please give them some time to prepare.
As for the beheading of the ministers who instigated the attack on the Tang Dynasty, it still needs to be investigated. As for the withdrawal of Su Pi, it is even more arguing, saying that Su Pi originally voluntarily joined Yunyun, and even brought out Niangshi and Webster's nobles of Supi to prove it .
Qin Lang didn't have time to argue with him, but sent Su Lie to be in charge of reception, to argue with him, anyway, both sides have their own agendas.
After a few days, Dongzan came and said that Zanpu was willing to retreat hundreds of miles as a show of sincerity.
The Tubo army retreated slowly the next day, but Qin Lang ignored it.
The Tubo people did not really withdraw. They were worried that the Tang army would pursue them, and they were unwilling to do so. They wanted to take advantage of the remaining nearly 200,000 people to win more favorable conditions for them on the negotiation table. As for Qin Lang, of course he wanted to delay the time so that the Qiang tribe could gather.
The two sides dragged on like this.
Many days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, an angel came from Luoyang.
"The next official supervises the censor Li Yifu to meet with Jieshuai."
The emissary from Luoyang was Li Yifu, who was an aide in Songzhou Governor's Mansion at the beginning, and was recommended by Qin Qiong to enter the court, and taught the provincial ceremony ceremony, and then was recommended to Qin Lang by Pei Xingjian, and was promoted to Yushitai under Qin Lang's recommendation The supervisory censor is said to be one of his own.
Although the supervisory censor is only at the eighth rank, he has been promoted three ranks in a row compared to his former subordinate Sheng Dianyi from the ninth rank. I have always been grateful to Qin Lang, and this time I was ordered to come here, and I also galloped all the way.
Burning incense to answer the order of Prince Jian Guo.
"Congratulations, Duke Wei."
Qin Lang was not excited about accepting the crown prince's decree. It can only be said that this decree was actually expected. After all, when the emperor came back and asked him to take over the town of Songzhou in a critical situation, now it is at best a formal procedure. .
Jiannan Jiedu envoy is the most important envoy, who can command the overall situation. As for the governor of Yizhou to be changed to the governor of the governor's office, Shi, who is also the military envoy of Ningyuan, these are all things that should be done. Lueshi also revolves around the mission of Jiedushi to ensure its authority.
Li Yifu dictated some words that were not directly written in the crown prince's decree to Qin Lang. The main reason was that the crown prince asked Qin Lang to fight freely. There is no authorization for soldiers and horses outside Jiannan.
"The imperial court has sent Shi Chengyaojin, the governor of Liangzhou, as the general manager of the river march to use troops against Gaochang, so Helong soldiers and horses cannot participate in the use of troops against Tubo this time." Li Yifu explained.
Qin Lang smiled, it didn't matter, originally the Anxi and Hexi Second Army, even if they could be used, they were only used to contain them from the side, or to take advantage of the situation to mop them up, it didn't matter much on the main battlefield.
Longyou Qinghai Erdao soldiers and horses were originally intended to strengthen the Qiang tribe in Hequ, and intercept them together. Since they can't be used, there is no other way.
As for the Taoist soldiers and horses in Shannan, Guanzhong, Yunnan, etc., they were originally far away and difficult to help, and they could not be transferred much.
"After discussing with the princes of the Luoyang court, the prince trusted Wei Gong very much and handed over Jiannan to Duke Wei. The prince also said that the court could not transfer the soldiers and horses of other branches, but they could give more to Jiannan Dao. With this amount of troops, the existing Ningyuan Army, Baoning Army, and Xining Army can add a few more troops, and can be expanded to 40,000 troops."
This is all real support.
"In addition, the crown prince ordered that this year, the border states of Jiannan Road will be exempted from two taxes for one year."
Jiannan Road has Yizhou Dadufu, and below it are Songzhou Zhongdufu, Maozhou Zhongdudufu, Xining Zhongdudufu, Weizhou Xiadudufu, Rongzhou Xiadudufu and Luzhou Xiadudufu, more than 20 prefectures.
"Duke Wei, Jiannan Jiedu Envoy, in addition to Jiedu Jiannan Road's seven capitals and more than 20 prefectures, he can also Jiedu Yunnan Road's prefectures."
This is really unexpected.
Li Yifu took the initiative to explain that during the Wude Dynasty, Yunnan Dao was originally owned by Yizhou Xingtai.
"What about central Guizhou?"
Han Wei asked.
At the beginning, Yunnan and central Guizhou were collectively referred to as Nanzhong, and together with Jiannan they were collectively referred to as Southwest. Therefore, the imperial court classified Yunnan as Jiannan Jiedu Envoy Du. What about Guizhou Central?
"Originally, the prince planned to assign Qianzhong Road and Yunnan Road to Jiannan Jiedu envoys, but some ministers said that Qianzhong is far away from Jiannan, and some said that Wei Gong is now mainly focused on using troops against Tubo, so he didn't Put Qianzhong Road into it."
"The prince later said that after Tubo was wiped out, central Guizhou would be transferred to Jiannan Jiedu."
Geographically, Yunnan-Guizhou and Sichuan are indeed a unit. After all, they all belong to plateaus. Although Yunnan-Guizhou is closer, Jiannan is far better developed than Yunnan-Guizhou at this time, so it should be attached to Jiannan.
But if Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are integrated, then the power of the Jiannan Jiedu Envoy will be very great. After all, Qin Lang is the Jiedu Envoy and also has a bunch of Zhidu Yingtian Observation and Disposal Economic Envoys. Wait a little bit, so it is normal for some people to object.
Qin Lang did not take it seriously, the Jiedushi of the Zhenguan Dynasty was not the Jiedushi of the late Tang Dynasty after all, no matter how powerful the power was given, it was just a temporary mission.
Retire immediately after the matter is completed. In some respects, this kind of Jiedu envoy, whether it is economical envoy, is just an enhanced version of the marching chief. Is there a permanent marching chief?
It doesn’t make much difference whether it is also in charge of Yunnan and central Guizhou.
But now that Yunnan Road is also in charge, the 40,000 soldiers given by the prince have been divided at once. I thought that Jiannan Road would increase to 40,000 troops, but now there are two.
Ningyuan, Baoning, and Xining, the three Jiannan armies, now have to add the existing Zhongwu, Tonghai, and Nanning armies in Yunnan. There are six armies in themselves, each with a quota of 5,000, and there are actually 30,000 troops. It means that the prince only gave 10,000 recruits.
Two more armies can be built.
Qin Lang then summoned the civil and military personnel of the various prefectures and prefectures in Jiannan Road, and sent people to Yunnan to convene the governor, governor, general and others to discuss matters.
While the Qiang tribe was still gathering, Qin Lang and a group of civil and military officials from Jiannan and Yunnan who rushed over discussed the redeployment of troops.
A total of 40,000 troops were allocated to each of the two provinces. Qin Lang did not do any equal distribution.
After two days of debate, he finally made a decision. The original six armies, Songzhou Ningyuan Army, Maozhou Baoning Army, Xining's Xining, and Jiannan's three armies, did not change, while Yunnan Dao's Zhongwu, Tonghai, and Nanning armies did not. Change.
Newly established the Kunming Army, stationed in Erhai Lake, and newly established the Jingbian Army, stationed in Hequ. The Tianbao Army was built and stationed in Jinchuan, and the Rong Army was built and stationed in Jialiang Prefecture, Xiaojinchuan.
Jiannan Jieduya Army was also established, which was divided into left, middle and right armies. The left army was called Youyi Army, the right army was called Tabai Army, and the middle army was called Beiwei Army.
New Seventh Army was built, but the number of troops was only 10,000.
How to distribute?
Qin Lang’s method of division is that the Zhongwu Army moved to Chengdu, Yizhou, and the five thousand people were expanded to twelve thousand, and then divided into the four armies of Zhongwu, Beiwei, Tabai, and Youyi, each with three thousand.
The Xining Army, the Baoning Army, and the Ningyuan Army were expanded, and then divided into two. The Ningyuan Army split into the Jingbian Army, the Baoning Army split into the Tianbao Army, and the Xining Army split into the Pingrong Army. The army is 18,000 people.
There are still 10,000 soldiers left, and the Tonghai and Nanning armies will split into a Kunming army, with 4,000 troops from the Tonghai Army, and 3,000 troops each from Nanning and Kunming.
After the adjustment, Jiannan Jiedu envoys, Jiannan and Yunnan, totaled thirteen armies, with a total of 40,000 regular soldiers.
These are all regular troops, excluding the Unity Battalion and the native soldiers of the Fan tribe.
As usual, Qin Lang assigned each army a corresponding army near the city and side of the Fan tribe, and at the same time organized a united battalion to belong to each army. These regiments trained soldiers and the native soldiers of the Fan tribe, and usually took turns to go to the military city where each army was stationed. The army guards and guards the towns and guards on duty, while training and garrisoning the fields.
40,000 regular soldiers, with double the Unity and Fan soldiers, the actual total strength reached 120,000.
The Zhongwu Army moved to Chengdu, while the Yabing Army followed the Jiedu Envoy Qin Lang. They usually had no garrison missions and were mobile forces.
The Youyi and Tabai armies are an elite light cavalry formed by the elite Ning Yuan Yebushu as the backbone, and the back Wei is the cavalry infantry.
Qin Lang was an envoy of Shi Chong Jiannan Jiedu and an envoy of Ningyuan Army, the governor of Yizhou.
Su Dingfang was still the governor of Maozhou and the envoy of the Baoning Army, Liu Lan became the governor of Fuzhou and the envoy of the Jingbian Army, Han Wei was the governor of Songzhou and the envoy of the Beiwei Army, and Qin Cunxiao was the Sima of Yizhou and the envoy of the Zhongwu Army.
Yu Guni was the governor of Fuzhou and the envoy of the Youyi Army, and Qiu Xinggong was the governor of Longzhou and the envoy of the Tabai Army.
