After Tianyi went out, he originally wanted to go directly to Chu Xiangcheng's courtyard, but thinking that Chu Xiangcheng should be working in the Yamen now, he changed the direction again.
The office of Chu Xiangcheng and others is also within the Jingbei Palace. The current Jingbei Palace is also the original Hetao Prefecture. This was originally just the house of a wealthy family, but after the defeat of the Imperial Northern Expedition, the family had died.
Among the rebels, it was later requisitioned by Haotian. At that time, the Hetao had just been recovered, and there was no energy to build the facade project. So Haotian found a wooden board, and God personally wrote the three characters "Prefect's Mansion" on it, and designated this place.
Come down.
Every time Haotian was promoted, the handwriting of God's will was changed. However, after so many people moved in, and it was an office space on Hetao 3rd Road, it seemed a bit cramped. Later, Haotian had no choice but to move the two buildings next to it.
After the house was bought and the fence was built, the situation became much better.
When Tianyi entered, he saw that the meeting hall was full of people. The leaders were Chu Xiangcheng, Bian Zhongxing and Lin Taiyue. He was stunned for a moment, but he came back to his senses immediately. The military and political parties in Hetao were separated from each other.
A general meeting will be convened after a period of time. Military commanders and commander-in-chief and above, and government officials and prefects and above have the right to participate. This was a rule set after Haotian regained the Hetao. Although Haotian is now
Although they fought in the southeast, this management continued. Naturally, the hosts each time were Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing.
"Mother!" As soon as they saw God's will, everyone stood up immediately and said in unison.
Tianyi walked in slowly and said as he walked: "Oh, everyone is here. Sorry to disturb everyone, please continue."
Tianyi walked straight to the top seat and sat down. This was Haotian's seat originally. Since Haotian was away, this seat became vacant. However, Tianyi sat here, but no one dared to have an opinion.
Tianyi sat on the main seat and looked down. On the left were military personnel and on the right were government affairs systems. There were three prefects and fifteen governors from the three prefectures of Hetao Road and the three prefectures of Bloody Plateau. The prefect of Hetao Road was headed by Zheng Chengen.
, below are He Fu in Dingzhou, Xinshuang in Kezhou, Haizheng in Jizhou, Chengdaping in Anzhou, Miao Ganfu in Shizhou, and Gong Lingxiao in Yanzhou. Below them are Wei He, the prefect of Hexi Road, Chu Pu in Shazhou, and Shangguan in Bingzhou.
Jun, Shen Wen of Sangzhou, Zhu Liangcheng of Huangzhou. Again, Xia Houming, the governor of Anxi Road, Huang Zhiyou of Xizhou, Liu Fu of Kuzhou, Chaike of Taizhou, Li Ping of Muzhou, and Yanjin of Xiazhou. Only one person came from the Blood Plateau,
After all, the administrative system of the Bloody Plateau is different from that of the Hetao, but Si Yulianjie, one of the four elders, is still dispatched. Under him are Guanying, the soul-eating commander, Lu Chengde, who is responsible for the intelligence of the six tribes outside the Great Wall, Youyun Sixteen
Zhang Shoucheng of the state intelligence, Gan Lamujia of the southwest intelligence and the Northwest Second Road, and Lu Bumi of the central mainland area. The third is Shi Pengliangdong, the marching commander of Bian Zhongxing, Chu Xiangcheng and Lin Taiyue's deputy Tong Xiu, Shuai Kangning, Diao
Yu Que et al.
The military officers were Zhan Shutang, Jiang Shenzhou, Chun Jian Shang and his deputy Huang Baiyan, Li Xiao and his deputies Fu Yang and Situ Lie did not come, but their deputy Wang Xian did arrive. Zhu Xigolano under Bian Zhongxing was stationed on the Bloody Plateau.
Yao Qiang and his deputy Zeng Wujiang, Wu Xiaolangjun, as well as Duwei Wanfu Changguan Mozheng, Bao Sunqian, Zong Buhua, Bashan, Dang Tuigong, Yi Dajing, Fan Dingwang and others.
Cheng Daping, Huang Zhiyou, Liu Fu, Zhu Liangcheng, Xin Shuang, Miao Ganfu, Gong Lingxiao, Shuai Kangning, Diao Yuque, as well as Li Xiao, Fu Yang, Wang Xian, Guan Mozheng and others were all members of Haotian at that time.
The old subordinates who formed the army in Dingzhou were among the first batch of soldiers in Hetao. Tianyi was their superior when he was putting on armor, so he was no stranger to them. However, Tianyi saw Ren Pixin, Xiong Chuzhao, and Pei Huanghuan among the military personnel.
When meeting Ning Bai and the other four, God's Will was still a little surprised. These four people were among the thousand cavalry who raised troops together. Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing wanted to build a steel lion, so they specially sent these four loyal
Generals with extremely high IQs and low IQs were selected and secretly trained a team of about 40,000 people. God's will was not clear on the specific situation, but she knew that the four of them had not shown up for a long time. It seemed that
The team has already formed a certain level of combat effectiveness, otherwise with the temperament of the four of them, they would still be training in secret.
"Uncle, Bian Shuai, I wonder what you were discussing so lively just now?" Tianyi sat up straight and asked.
Chu Xiangcheng chuckled: "It's nothing. Just now, the border commander consulted the government on how many troops our Hetao Third Road can currently support. This is the second day of the meeting, and everything that needs to be discussed has almost been discussed."
Tianyi was also a little curious: "Oh, so how much military expenditure can our Hetao support now?" She was indeed curious. The military strength of the Hetao was obvious, which she knew, but about the specific strategy of the army
Chu Xiangcheng completely concealed these reserves. No one except him knew the specific amount, and God did not want to interfere with these matters, so he was always very vague about them.
"Our official strength at the Hetao Third Road Headquarters is currently 720,000. Among them, 250,000 are from the Lord's army going south, 70,000 are brought back to the Hetao Headquarters by General Zhan Shutang and General Jiang Chenzhou, and 400,000 are left behind in the Hetao. Bloody Plateau General
The troop strength is 280,000, of which 50,000 are following Mistress Qingcheng in the lord’s southward army. 80,000 are in the Dragon Cavalry Corps, and the remaining 150,000 are guarding the Bloody Plateau. Since we in Hetao have been cultivating and recuperating for so many years, we have increased our strength.
The students who went to Xuanyuan Military Academy and the young people of their generation have grown up, and we should now be able to withstand the consumption of 900,000 soldiers." Bian Zhongxing stretched out his remaining right arm and said with his fingers.
Tianyi's eyebrows jumped slightly, 720,000? It seems to be an extremely huge number, but apart from the hundreds of thousands of troops from Haotian heading south, and leaving aside the troops guarding various places, the mobile forces that the Hetao headquarters can mobilize are still limited.
.However, Bian Zhongxing was able to deploy these troops on this occasion, and he must not have included the 40,000 elite troops of Ren Pixin and others.
After the Battle of Jizhou, Tianyi rarely interfered with the affairs of the army. She only asked casually, so she said with a smile: "Uncle Chu and the border commander are in charge of the army, so I am very relieved. We in Hetao are now
We are in an extraordinary period, and we hope that everyone will work together to tide over the difficulties."
Bian Zhongxing said quickly: "Mother, you're welcome. This is what subordinates and others should do."
Tianyi smiled slightly: "You go on, don't disrupt the normal order because of my arrival."
Chu Xiangcheng was not polite and continued to preside over the meeting with the information in his hand. Tianyi always had a gentle temper and never put on any airs, and everyone below was an old acquaintance. Although everyone was in awe of Tianyi, they were
There was no restraint. As soon as Chu Xiangcheng finished reading an article, the people below began to discuss it. The civil servants were okay, everyone still paid attention to their image and just whispered to each other, but the generals were different. Zhu Xigao, Yao Qiang and Guan Mozheng were more impatient.
The others even slapped the table and started shouting.
Chu Xiangcheng glanced out of the corner of his eyes and found that although Tianyi was smiling, he seemed to have something on his mind. At that moment, he quietly called a subordinate, whispered, and the man walked out quickly. After a while, the other party quickly
He came back. He whispered a few words to Chu Xiangcheng, and then stood aside like a pillar.
"Mother, are you here because of the affairs of Loulan State Master Zheshan Songbang?" Chu Xiangcheng asked in a low voice.
Tianyi nodded, and she didn't hide anything in front of Chu Xiangcheng.
Chu Xiangcheng lightly knocked on the table. Although the sound was not loud, everyone noticed it and quickly closed their mouths. Chu Xiangcheng smiled with satisfaction and then said: "Mother, Zheshan Songbang
It arrived two days ago, and yesterday I handed over the joint letter from the six countries of Loulan, but I returned the letter after discussing with Mr. Bian Shuailin and others."
"Because what they presented was not credentials." Bian Chongxing added beside him.
"Why is this?" Tianyi asked in confusion. The Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions used to be the former home of Anxi Road and were directly under the jurisdiction of the Tang Empire. However, after the collapse of the Tang Empire and the establishment of the Qingfeng Empire, the Thirty-six Kingdoms of the Western Regions have become independent.
It is not even a nominal vassal state, so their interactions with the Qingfeng court have always been in the form of credentials. However, Hetao is only a local vassal town of Qingfeng, and there is no need for the other party to submit credentials to them. This is a mistake to say the least.
Yes, to say it is bigger is to exceed the limit.
"It's very simple. If they really want to associate with us, they must submit their credentials." Chu Xiangcheng said proudly.
God glanced at everyone present. Everyone, including Lin Taiyue and Xia Houming, acted as if they were taking it for granted. By submitting credentials, it means that the other party has placed itself in the position of an independent country. That is
A kind of equal exchanges between countries. However, I did not expect that great scholars like Lin Taiyue, who had always regarded loyalty to the emperor and patriotism as their motto, and original officials of the court like Xia Houming, had such opinions. It seems that the concept of Hetao becoming emperor and building a country
It has completely penetrated people's hearts.
"Is this the only reason?" Tianyi asked calmly.
"Not just." Lin Taiyue spoke now: "The other party hopes to establish an equal alliance with us. When facing attacks from other forces, any party has the responsibility to help each other."
"Which countries?" Tianyi continued to ask.
"Loulan is the leader, and there are Hotan, Rouzhi, Yarkand, Wengche and Lujia."
Tianyi waved his hand, and the guard next to him quickly found the map of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region and hung it on the wall on one side.
Tianyi stood up and walked to the edge of the map. Chu Xiangcheng and Bian Zhongxing also followed, while the others sat still.
"Of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, there are now only seventeen or eight city-states left. The two most powerful countries are Loulan in the east and Kuqa in the west. Originally, the two countries were the overlords of the Western Regions. After the invasion of foreign enemies,
Sometimes we join forces to resist, and when we have nothing to do, we fight openly and secretly."
"The strength of the two countries was originally about the same, and Loulan even had the upper hand. But after Kuqa clearly turned to Sashan, Kuqa's strength has far surpassed Loulan. The seven or eight small countries that were originally neutral between the two countries
All fell to Kuqa. As for Hotan Rouzhi in the east of the Western Region, this is the traditional sphere of influence of Loulan, while the Yarkand Caravan and Lujia Kingdoms are located on the edge of the Nianqing Mountains. They have always been small and weak, and Loulan has always been the only country.
It’s my destiny to obey.”
"The arrival of Loulan State Master Zheshan Songbang this time also represents the will of the other five countries. The overwhelming power of the six countries is about 150,000 people." Chu Xiangcheng explained in detail.
"Isn't this a joke? For a country as big as this to want to establish an equal relationship with us in the Hetao and even have an offensive and defensive alliance, isn't it just nonsense?" Jiang Chenzhou was the first to say.
Cheng Daping also slapped the table: "What are they? This is originally the land of our Celestial Empire. It is only because the imperial court is weak that these bastards are entrenched. If they make us angry, just send troops to destroy them."
Cheng Daping was from the military, an old subordinate of Haotian, and a typical hardliner.
Tianyi sat back in his seat and shouted in a deep voice: "Spring Sword Prize!"
"The general is here!" Chun Jian Shang quickly stood up and replied.
"You have been guarding Jiayuguan for a long time. Let me tell you your opinions first."
Chunjian Shang said quickly: "The current situation of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region is not optimistic. Although Rouran's main attack direction is the Obsburg Empire in the west, Sashan has been trying to annex them. Kuqa has turned to Sa
Shan, which caused the originally close alliance between the thirty-six countries in the Western Region to basically split. Loulan did not want to lose his independent status, nor did he want to take refuge with Sa Shan, so he was eager to establish an alliance with us. After all, the frontier commander back then
The First World War completely dispelled their pride. Hotan Rouzhi was originally their ally. As for the Yarkand Three Kingdoms, the total number of people in the country is only about six to seven thousand. However, they are all soldiers, so the power of the whole country is also
Two thousand soldiers. They always act based on Lou Lan’s expression.”
"Two thousand?" Zhan Shutang's mouth was so big that he almost swallowed a plate.
Yao Qiang quickly said: "The Yarkand Caravan and Lujia Kingdoms are all located on the edge of the Nianqing Mountains. They mainly rely on ice and snow melt water to irrigate some crops, and there are few places for grazing. The population is naturally very small." He has been stationed on the Bloody Plateau for a long time, and his location
It is just west of Mengzhou, and I am quite familiar with these countries.
Tianyi leaned back, leaned on the backrest, and asked lightly: "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Chu Xiangcheng, Bian Zhongxing and others looked at each other, and then said: "It must be delivery of credentials, and then surrender. It's not that we don't need friends in Hetao, but it's okay not to have friends like this who can be pulled to block the knife. Here.
It was originally our kingdom’s land, and we must take it back.”
"Aren't you afraid that they will fall into Sashan's arms and strengthen her national power?" Tianyi asked strangely.
Chu Xiangcheng laughed and said: "Mother, even if we faced the two million coalition forces of the three Northeastern countries, we were never afraid. Are we still afraid of their more than 100,000 troops with the power of the whole country?"
Bian Zhongxing also smiled slightly: "That is, if we in Hetao don't even have this kind of courage, why should we control the world and stop the gods from killing the gods? If they really surrender to us, we will naturally not let our friends down. But it is just a false name.
They just want us in the Loop to work hard for them, so let’s just dream about their spring and autumn dreams.”
Bian Zhongxing was the most rigid person in his life. Except for his two adopted sons, it was rare for others to see him smile. Everyone was stunned when they saw his smile, but they immediately understood what he meant. That is, Loop,
When have you ever been afraid?
Chu Xiangcheng also continued: "Mother, in fact, it's not that we don't want to meet Zheshan Songbang at all, but Zheshan Songbang is a famous wise man in the Western Regions after all. We need to kill their energy first and let him calm down.
For a moment, it’s best to think clearly about the relationship between the two parties. Since the mistress has already said it, let’s do this. Come and tell Zheshan Songbang that I will be waiting for him here in a while.”
Tianyi smiled and said: "So that's how it is, but God's will is wrong. There are uncles and Bian Shuai presiding over here, so there is no problem in thinking. I still have some things to do, so I will take the first step."
"Well, um, mistress, go slowly." Bian Zhongxing said in a long voice, but finally he closed his mouth.
Tianyi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood that Bian Zhongxing was planning to let him go to review the elite army trained by Ren Pixin and the other four. This matter was not urgent, and there were many people talking about it, so there was no need to talk about it here.
