Huangmen Shilang, Tonghedian was appointed, the lieutenant supervised the military affairs of Fengtian, and knew the affairs of Yaotougang.
This is the official position that Zhang Zhao obtained from Li Shengtian. The position of Huangmen Shilang is not much different from that of the Central Plains Dynasty. They are all close ministers of the monarch, assisting the monarch in handling political affairs, and can even deliver imperial edicts.
However, when Li Shengtian gave Zhang Zhao the position of Huangmen Minister, it was certainly not to ask Zhang Zhao to assist him in handling state affairs, but to prepare Zhang Zhao to figure out how to blast the Shule City Wall as soon as possible so that he could enter the palace at any time to discuss with Li Shengtian. Tonghe Palace Admission, this official position sounds a bit like the Banzhi of the Song Dynasty. It belongs to the emperor's guards and has the right to enter and exit the forbidden palace. It is obviously a false title to facilitate Zhang Zhao's entry into the palace.
Supervise Fengtian's military affairs. Please note that this is a matter of supervising Fengtian's military affairs, not supervising Fengtian's military affairs.
The Fengtian Army was established by Li Shengtian for the more than 100 people under Zhang Zhao's command, as well as the dozens of carpenters and stonemasons who would be assigned to him, and the 300 miners he was authorized to recruit on his own.
By the way, Li Shengtian also assigned fifty of his palace guards to Zhang Zhao. The team was the handsome palace guard who was cheated by Zhang Zhao and was almost disfigured by a bomb.
Mix it with sand! If you didn't mix it with this bit of sand, Zhang Zhao would have doubted whether Li Shengtian was a qualified king.
Lieutenant is the position of the highest officer of the Fengtian Army. Zhang Zhao's mother's title was Princess Fengtian. Li Shengtian gave Zhang Zhao the title of Fengtian Army. From now on, he can be called Lieutenant of Fengtian.
Knowing about Yao Tougang, of course, means that Yao Tougang officially belongs to Zhang Zhao from today on. According to the Khotan system, with Yao Tougang, the Fengtian Army can be called Zhang Zhao's private army.
Because in Khotan, those who have not obtained the title of feudal lord cannot have a private army.
From now on, in addition to paying tribute worth thirty guan to Li Shengtian every year, everything in Yao Tougang, including any income generated, will belong to Zhang Zhao.
Of course, thirty guan of property is nothing. The real big deal is that he has the obligation to send ten troops to fight for Li Shengtian, and in principle, he must prepare his own clothes, armor, food and pension.
At this point, the most bizarre feudal lord of the Great Jin Kingdom in the past ten years was born.
First of all, he does not have the Khotanese-style feudal aristocratic titles such as the kings, governors, and Amozhi of the old Khotan aristocracy, but he is a governor with obvious characteristics of a local official.
Secondly, his fiefdom was so small that it made people laugh or cry, with a total of 330 acres of fertile land and a ruined castle in Yaotougang with a radius of five or six miles. As a result, his share of troops was the smallest in Khotan, with only ten men.
And according to the size of Yaotougang, if it were not close to the royal city and could occupy some trade advantages, it would not be able to support even ten private soldiers.
And thirdly, he was one of the feudal lords with the most powerful private army in Khotan, with 128 elite soldiers, 12 armored cavalry, 10 elite light cavalry, and 300 auxiliary soldiers (miners).
.
You can also follow the rules and hire no more than twice the number of real auxiliary soldiers from Khotan City at market price, that is, people who do heavy work on the battlefield, cut off people's heads, and assist in looting after breaking up the city.
In other words, in the extreme state, Zhang Zhao can legally have three armies of 450 men, totaling 1,350 men, one-tenth of which has very good combat effectiveness.
You know, the nationwide mobilization of Khotan can bring 30,000 people, and more than 1,000 people can be found in Anxi, which is definitely a big force.
Therefore, Zhang Zhao felt extremely comfortable when he came out of Li Shengtian Palace.
What do you say about his uncle, the emperor? Historically, he is considered to be one of the few heroes in the history of Khotan.
However, Zhang Zhao felt that he was not worthy of his reputation from the fact that he was full of joy and anger, spent extravagantly, believed in Buddhism, and dared to openly accept bribes from his close officials.
But today, Zhang Zhao's sense of him has changed again. This guy's tactics are still in place, at least at the level of a middle-to-upper-level monarch.
The Khotan Palace looks loose, but in fact it is very heavily guarded inside, and the Khotan palace guards are also very well trained.
This can be seen from the fact that after the explosion, the palace guards seemed to emerge from the ground, and regardless of Li Shengtian's scolding, they resolutely escorted him to a safe area, and regardless of Zhang Zhao being Li Shengtian's nephew, they all
Treat everyone who is close to you as an enemy first.
This is a very elite sign, indicating that the training of the Khotan army and at least the palace guards is very legal and has its own inheritance. A monarch who can have such a loyal guard cannot be an unreliable and faint monarch. p>
This reminded Zhang Zhao of a famous, uh! Maybe he should be called a famous monarch.
Of course, he is not a ruthless figure like the emperor of Qin, Han, Wu, and Tang civilizations, nor is he an emperor with mixed reputations like Tang Xuanzong.
Instead, I bring Lord Qingming, the Seal Terminator, the ancestor of the heavy metal killer aesthetic, and the one who complements my Qianlong title.
You say he is incompetent! That is a lie. He is very capable. You say he is a wise man, but he always falls short in everything he does.
Good face, fond of extravagance, long life, even if you are in a hurry, you can improve the national destiny by cheering up, but most of the time, personal reputation and happiness are always ranked first.
But there is an advantage to such a monarch. If you suit his taste, then he will be really good to you. As long as you don't let him lose face, you can say anything.
"Fourteen! Fourteen!" Zhang Zhao, who was in a hurry, shouted loudly as soon as he returned to Yaotougang. Cao Shishi reluctantly poked his head out of a room.
"Within five days, I need thirty kilograms of gunpowder. The proportion must be the best. I will send the materials immediately. Can you do it?" Zhang Zhao looked at Cao Yanming with a smile.
Cao Yanming's expression suddenly changed, "It is said that with all the materials, thirty kilograms of gunpowder would take less than five days. I could make it in two days, but you generously gave me five days. Cousin, no."
Maybe the charcoal is not up to par, and I have to refinish it myself?"
"Oops!" Zhang Zhao laughed exaggeratedly, with a hint of flattery on his face.
"You really can't hide anything from me, Jushiro! Those charcoal sellers outside don't know about high-end products like Shenhuo Lei. They are extremely vulgar. Only those made by Jushiro are the best."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Oh my god, this is definitely not possible! You might as well tire yourself out!" Cao Yanming almost burst into tears. Grinding and baking charcoal is by no means an easy task.
"I will pick two clever female slaves from Khotan City for you to help you. Isn't it tiring to work with men and women?" Zhang Zhao winked and kept firing at Cao Yanming.
"Who cares about the Orchid slave girl! And I really can't do it, it's not that I don't want to do it!" Cao Yanming still said that he couldn't do it.
"It's a pity that my uncle, the emperor, has several princesses who have grown hair-length. They are so beautiful! My uncle also told me to pay attention to see if there are any young heroes around me!" Zhang Zhao pretended to sigh.<
/p>
"You...! You are really my good cousin!" Cao Yanming glared at Zhang Zhao, wanting to refuse but also reluctant.
Princess Khotan! Everyone in the Cao family of Shazhou knows that the person who can marry Princess Yutian must be the leader of the Cao family, and the whole family will look up to him.
His sixth brother, Cao Yanlu, and other future stars of the Cao family, are all struggling with how to marry a Khotan princess.
Zhang Erlang actually used this to seduce him! It’s so... so fragrant!
"Did the Great Sage really tell you that?" Cao Yanming surrendered. Princess Khotan's temptation to him was really great!
"What do you think? I, Zhang Erlang, don't keep my word?" Zhang Zhao is very thick-skinned and doesn't even blink.
Of course, if possible, he is still willing to work hard for Cao Yanming, so that he can be better tied to him.
"Okay! Find me two clever female slaves. I won't be able to sleep for the next few days!"
