Chapter 1459 Times have changed
When Nanzhao was first captured, the society was too turbulent, so many people's lives were difficult, and they could not guarantee three meals a day, so the Tang army needed some slaves, and these people came one after another, regardless of other things. , being able to eat enough is the most important thing.
Food is the most important thing for the people. When you have been hungry for several days, you will not care about some things. Regardless of how many ideals and wishes you usually have, there is only one thing now, and that is to eat your own food. Belly, so at that time, recruiting troops for the Tang Dynasty from the Nanzhao Kingdom was simply a simple matter. If you wanted to enter the military camp of the Tang Dynasty, you even had to give gifts.
But now times have changed. Nanzhao Kingdom itself is a place with relatively developed agriculture. In addition, the land is relatively flat and their population is not large. With a little work, there is no problem in eating one bite. Now that the stomach problem is solved, Who is willing to go to the battlefield and fight to the death?
Therefore, in the next few conscriptions, many people were unwilling to go. If they had not adopted tough policies, some subsequent troops would not have been sent at all.
In addition, some voices came out in Nanzhao that the king asked our young people to fight for the Tang Dynasty, but what did we get in the war? If we continue to transport troops like this, Nanzhao may die on the battlefields of the Tang Dynasty in the future. This is simply a plan to genocide us.
In fact, Li Xiang is not that vicious. When recruiting troops in each region, they are based on the proportion of local young adults. This will not allow you to delay local social production, nor will it make you too powerful. This is Li Xiang’s fundamental purpose.
Nanzhao has been recuperating well during this period, so Li Xiang has to start his ding policy again. Only in this way can you continue to be on the edge of danger and not have the idea of resistance. If it really happens If you have that kind of idea, it may be an internal rebellion.
Li Xiang has conquered too much land over the years, and there are some rebels in various places. It is impossible to kill them all, so he can only rely on time to slowly kill them. If there is no human judgment everywhere, then This approach may continue, so now Li Xiang also requires the chief executives of various places to block all dangers in the cradle and never let them explode.
The best way is to draw the Ding policy. When there is a war, let them fight with the Tang army. When there is no war, let them exchange each other. In short, there must be a population in the hands of the Tang army, so that these people can fight against the rats. , even if someone wanted to launch a rebellion, the families of the soldiers on the battlefield were also secret agents of the Tang Dynasty.
They don't want their sons to have problems, so they have to work as spies for the Tang Dynasty. If there is a problem locally, you people should report it as soon as possible. No matter what happens, the Tang Dynasty court will not pursue it. Your responsibilities will even be assigned to you a lot.
But if you don't report it, your son on the battlefield may be punished, and your whole family, including you, may not have a chance to survive.
Seeing Li Xiang leave the convoy, King Nanzhao and his men breathed a sigh of relief. This guy finally left. If he continues to stay here, I'm afraid they will have their hearts in their hands.
Regardless of what he said, he hoped that Li Xiang could stay here for a while, but everyone hoped that Li Xiang would leave as soon as possible. If he could avoid passing by, that would be the best thing. These are the people who say what they mean.
"His Royal Highness, the people in Admiral Tiance's Mansion just explained that His Highness once mentioned to you that this time the three thousand young men will be brought to the front line by us. However, His Highness the King still has to worry about recruiting people. If If there is any need for assistance from the personnel of my Protectorate, please give an order to His Majesty the King, and we will share the worries for His Majesty the King."
The King of Nanzhao has not yet come to his senses. Lu Yuansheng has already stepped forward, and his men have also come together. When recruiting troops in Nanzhao, they can only hide behind the scenes and cannot directly work at the front desk. , if they stand at the front desk, it may cause resistance from many people.
Lu Yuansheng also gave his men a wink. You'd better understand the court's policies. You will implement tough policies against King Nanzhao at every turn. Let's not talk about the relationship between His Highness and Princess Yongning. Let's talk about things like conscription. If there is no mascot in front of us, who among us can handle it?
If you can't handle the orders from above, can you people still wear your black gauze hats securely? The imperial court has never needed idiots. Don't tell me how noble your background is, or how you became this official. As long as you don't do a good job in this matter, there will be many people who will cause trouble for you in the future.
Therefore, for the sake of our own black hat, we must not fall out with this gentleman at this stage. If His Royal Highness the King does not cooperate and expects us to recruit troops by ourselves, then even if our legs are broken, I am afraid that we will not be able to find three soldiers. Thousands of young people can only be strong in the end.
The country of Korea has reached the stage of recruiting young people. You have all read some information from the court. To recruit young people is almost like arresting people. You hide and seek with these people every day, waiting for them to come home and catch them. You guys Don't even think about a good life. The wind comes and the rain comes and goes every day. Just with your thin skin and tender flesh, you will turn into black coal in two days.
The officials below noticed the look in the Protector's eyes, and all of them had a little embarrassment on their faces. Earlier, they really wanted to adopt a tough policy and directly wipe out the King of Nanzhao and his people. Anyway, How much role do you people bring to the imperial court? Why are you worshiped? Isn't this a waste of the court's money?
But after this incident, they realized the true role of these people. We can't just see the things in front of us, we must have a long-term perspective. For this, we must first recommend our great grandson.
It was said at the court that the King of Nanzhao and his men must be retained. They may be of great use in the future. Everyone in the court did not know what the great use was. They all speculated that it was because of Princess Yongning. I'm afraid you people are speechless now, right? (End of chapter)
