After all, at the end of the day, those people are still very stubborn barbarians, and they can't handle the many twists and turns of the Han people.
And these twists and turns, although in the mouths of the scholar-officials in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, are just twists and turns, but... if you really want to calculate it, the actual situation is not exactly the same, because the people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty have done a lot of things.
Just what the rangers in China need. If it weren’t for this reason, the pure bastard regime of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would not have lasted for so many years...
This is the case with these barbarians in Mobei.
The history of China is always written by those low-level rangers. The governance routine of the Mobei barbarians can win over the rangers at the northern border, but it cannot win over the rangers from the south and many people from the "sub-north". For example, in Shuzhong
Although the local elites have cooperated with countless foreign heroes, they have never had any dealings with these foreign regimes. In the end, it is similar to the model of game players following the power leveling to get points, and those who have a promising future will follow.
If the guy is no longer good, he will just sell it as soon as possible. He will only be more serious when he is fighting for the country - of course, this is the most basic gregariousness.
And this guy in Rome is different from the guys in Goguryeo and Turks who smell like mutton skewers. This group of people is able to absorb all kinds of people and get along well with them.
Even if we only measure the political level of the Romans by the current little Hannibal, this guy has under his command not only Viking heroes from the north of Europe, Saxon bandits, but also educated elites who have been impressed by the decline and corruption of Rome for many years.
...For example, the two young Roman diplomats Marcus and Aulus mentioned before.
Because of the existence of this ability, Li Er had to worry about the ultimate possibility and the most terrifying possibility - if the Chinese rangers from China could mix with him and serve the Tang Dynasty, then one day... wouldn't it be possible?
Will he hang out with the Roman emperor? This is completely unspeakable.
In the past, there were hundreds of years of war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but there were a large number of young Han people who had nowhere to go and followed the various Qiang, Jie and Xianbei army leaders to fight!
All other military, economic and other victories and defeats are of no use in front of Li Er, who has experienced hundreds of battles and won thousands of battles. They can be dealt with. But if this guy in Rome really gains an advantage in the military, what will happen in the future?
That is the rhythm of competing with the Tang Dynasty for the orthodox status of all living beings in the world.
With military advantage, there will be economic advantage, and with economic advantage, Rome will of course use the economic advantage to create ideological advantage in the next step - how can the Tang Dynasty not be finished by then? It will not be an ordinary pill, but finished.
After that, the children and grandchildren of China may not even be able to speak Chinese in the future.
certainly……
This can only explain why the Romans must be defeated, but it is not the main reason that Li Er is worried about at the moment... It is the core reason for Li Er's worries, but it is not the primary reason at present. "Primary" means that it is timely and urgent.
Meaning. What is urgent now is... This Roman was not only a master of both civil and military arts, but also had strong united-fighting capabilities. At the same time, his country could also produce fertilizers and conduct blast furnace steelmaking!
Because of the existence of this quality... then if the Romans really decided to be fully armed, the plan to use steam vehicles to defeat the army would not only become difficult to succeed, but might even happen... and even lead to a tragic victory for the Romans.
If you can't do it, you will just kill off a bloody skin and then die at the speed of light. The sad result.
And based on this calculation, the military strength in the north is even less sufficient - the Tang Dynasty's 100,000 Imperial Guards versus the 100,000 Roman Imperial Guards, but what about the 100,000 Roman troops? Those fifty steam cars...
...can overwhelm a hundred thousand Roman army??
I'm afraid this is a bit...
After thinking about it, Li Er became more and more worried, but...
After all, he was also the general of Tiance back then, and he was ranked first among all the military elites of the Tang Dynasty. With such status, Li Er would naturally not be indecisive.
Although on weekdays, Li Er would always discuss matters big and small with ministers, and general matters would basically be discussed by the court. For major matters, he would definitely summon Wei Zheng and other important ministers to hold an inner court meeting. He almost never made any arbitrary decisions, but...
To put it bluntly, these are Li Er's preparations for future peacetime governance, but the essence of Li Er's human nature...
He is still the same General Tiance that he was back then!
He quickly made a decision - since Cheng Zhijie, an old guy, had already thought about it, then no matter how hard he tried to get him to stop, there was a high probability that it would be impossible. Ten cows would probably not be able to pull this old boy back. Now. If nothing goes wrong, all you can do is to mobilize manpower and material resources as soon as possible and mobilize the army to go north to increase troops. Regardless of whether this is useful or not, you must do this in advance!
Whether it can be effective depends on the current fait accompli, which is God’s arrangement.
But whether or not to turn the tide is up to you alone.
Li Er pondered for a while, then his expression changed several times, and finally turned completely cold, and his whole person suddenly became serious. The old eunuch who reported the content of the phone call was trembling. This is... I haven't seen the King of Qin for an unknown period of time, and now His Majesty was so prepared to face a powerful enemy, and at the same time he showed his sharp edge.
Several imperial edicts were sent directly from the palace, skipping the process, and in a blink of an eye, they were sent by several imperial guards to various military camps near Chang'an, as well as to several princes currently in Chang'an, including the residences of Wei Zheng and other civil servants. Within, and then... through the miraculous function of the telephone, it was quickly sent to military towns across China, informing the Forbidden Army generals across the country to prepare for battle.
This decree came directly from the palace, which immediately caused an uproar. Not only did Li Er receive hundreds of questions from the officials and ministers below during the court meeting the next day.
Of course, this situation was not what Li Er expected, and then... Although it was inappropriate to say it directly, Li Er also knew that there was nothing wrong in his heart, so he directly issued an order and announced to the whole country that all adult men in the Tang Dynasty are on standby at any time. , prepare to join the army and go north to defend the Tang Dynasty's hegemony!
Defending the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty is obviously not as sweet as defending the family and the country, but whether it is Li Er, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others, there are countless real people hidden among the bureaucrats who are mostly just going to work. The elites of the Tang Dynasty all understood one thing.
To compete with the Romans for world supremacy is to defend the country.
If the Tang Dynasty does not succeed in contending for hegemony in the world, it will be succeeded by the Romans.
And once Rome takes over the true world of the Five Continents and Four Seas, what will be the fate of the Tang Dynasty... It is absolutely conceivable. Maybe the language will be lost from then on, or maybe it will simply be physically exterminated... But no matter what, such a fate There will never be anything tender in it.
