Chapter 1504 Mutual Containment

After a few days of rest, General Molun finally came back to his senses. Some of his men were still swaying. Even if they were walking on flat ground, it was difficult to maintain their balance. This could be regarded as the sequelae of taking a boat. It's serious.

Of course, Li Xiang didn't blame them. After all, they came from the northwest inland area, and some even came from Central Asia. The sea and the people were never bordering each other in their lives, but now they can travel thousands of miles to come here, for the sake of the world. If you are fighting for the cause of the Tang Empire, can you still despise them?

"I'm really sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince. None of my subordinates have experienced such a big storm. They have never even heard of descriptions before. Many of them even have no impression of the sea. They have suffered a lot along the way. Please give them some time, I guarantee they are the best soldiers."

In the temporary military camp set up by General Mo Lun, some of his men were still unable to operate normally. Li Xiang himself came to express condolences, but he did not expect to be misunderstood by General Mo Lun.

"You don't have to be so panicked. I came here today not to urge them to work, but to bring them some condolences. I stayed away from my hometown and followed you here. This is indeed my loyalty to you. , We cannot treat others badly. In addition to the official salary as originally mentioned, we must also subsidize some of it, all of which are the responsibility of the court. "

On the carriage behind Li Xiang, a bunch of various things were unloaded. General Mo Lun also breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he only knew that Li Xiang required efficiency. If your people can't keep up, sooner or later, they will Those who were eliminated by Li Xiang, now that they can see Li Xiang's scene, really think that there is something wrong with their eyes.

You must know that when he was in the Western Regions, Li Xiang also had a reputation of loving the people like a son, but he only targeted the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, including the soldiers of Gaochang. In Li Xiang's eyes, the armies of other countries were nothing more than tools. General Mo Lun was considered Gao Chang's head was able to receive so much courtesy. As for the soldiers under him, I'm afraid Li Xiang wouldn't even look at them.

But now that we can bring in so many condolences, including salary increases, it is obvious that Datang's policy has changed. Of course, this kind of policy change is something that General Molun should be very willing to see. of.

When General Molun received the imperial edict, many of his subordinates were unwilling to come here. In this era, there were too many things that were not acclimatized to the climate, and most people might not be able to persist, so they still preferred to stay in their hometowns. , but these people came without hesitation.

General Molun seems to have a lot of power on the surface, but personnel appointments and the like are actually in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, even if these people follow him, their future is difficult to predict. According to some previous policies, At best, these people can only make more money. If they want to become an official, it can be said to be extremely difficult.

No matter what, His Highness Taisun has once again improved their salary. This can be regarded as an explanation to them. They earn two or three times more than when they were in their original hometown. This can also be regarded as an explanation to their family. If we haven't seen each other for a long time, it would be nice if we could send the money back.

Of course, General Molun also understood that the reason why these people were so kind to him from Chang'an City to South Vietnam was also because of their previous achievements. When facing the war with the Arab Empire, General Molun indeed made great achievements. The Tang court was so majestic that everyone from top to bottom treated him differently.

But General Molun knows very well that some things are not as simple as you think. When you make a face to the Tang Dynasty, they can indeed put you in the front, but if you can't do it, then you are also the second. A group of people were pulled down, so no matter how good the treatment given to him by the Tang Dynasty court, General Molun always reminded himself that others could rest on their laurels and rest on their laurels, but he could not do it. Just because he was not a Han, he had to be Just work harder than those Han people.

Moreover, General Molun also observed that even in the military camp of the Tang Dynasty, some people were doubling their efforts. For example, Du Aitong, whose ancestors were once prominent, now if the two of them work together If so, although General Mo Lun's current starting point is higher than Du Aitong's, the end point is likely to be inferior to this guy. Who wants him to be a Han?

Li Xiang discovered this gap, but Li Xiang was not prepared to change the so-called integration of various ethnic groups. It was not that Li Xiang did not want to realize it, but Li Xiang still remembered the war during the Tianbao period. To put it bluntly, it was because among the Tang army There were too many foreigners, and these people started the Anshi Rebellion.

So in this case, even if he knew that there were some problems among the Han people, Li Xiang would slowly change these problems, but he would never let too many high-level aliens appear in the army.

The two walked out while talking, and Li Xiang also began to introduce some situations in the South Vietnam Kingdom to General Mo Lun. Now the county system has begun to be implemented here, which is exactly the same as in the Western Regions. Officials from the imperial court also came quickly. Although it will be very difficult to implement, under the swords and guns of Fuso soldiers, many local soldiers can only listen honestly. If you don't obey the adaptation, then don't blame our swords for not recognizing you.

When he first got off the ship, General Molun even had an idea, could he transport the soldiers from Gaochang? Instead of the Goguryeo and Fuso soldiers here, if this were the case, General Morun could do a lot of things without having to worry about communication.

But General Molun quickly thought that Li Xiang was much smarter than me. How could Li Xiang not think of problems that I could think of?

The reason why the situation in South Vietnam is like this is purely because of the deliberate actions of His Highness Taisun. People of all ethnic groups live in this place, and you have to restrain each other. No one can be the dominant one. If someone is troubled, other ethnic groups will The soldiers will report it immediately, and when the time comes, a head will be sent down, which can not only shock all parties, but also maintain local stability.

If a large number of Gaochang soldiers are transported, under the care of General Mo Lun, the status of Gaochang soldiers will definitely rise rapidly, and they may even threaten Han soldiers. Once that time comes, it will have a great impact on the entire Indo-China Peninsula. There is no benefit... (End of chapter)
