From Soldier To Emperor

"What? Mingguo sent hundreds of'instructors' to join in to train the troops for those traitors?"

In the past year, Songtsen Gampo, who has been very energetic in the past year, confirmed to his subordinates with an angry expression.

"Yes, the country master, and the Ming army has reached an agreement with some rebel tribes, and was invited to step into our country to station and provide military shelter for the rebel tribe’s nest..."

"Okay, I get it!"

Songtsen Gambo fell into contemplation after retiring his subordinates.

Eight years after the time entered the Ming Dynasty, the civil war in the Tufan Kingdom has actually been roughly divided. After all, the regime led by Songtsen Gambo is a twisted team, even if the overall strength is not as good as the'tribal rebels', but Through the method of drawing in the gaps and concentrating superior forces to fight, Songtsen Gampo is not far from the establishment of a unified and centralized Turpan Kingdom.

The fact that a large number of defeated Tufan tribes were driven into the Western Regions allowed Songtsen Gampo to save the trouble of cleaning and speed up the reunification process of the Tufan kingdom.

Eight years after the Ming Dynasty, the remaining tribal rebels of the entire Tufan Kingdom tied together are no longer Songtsen Gambo's opponents!

If it were not for Songtsen Gampo who wanted to imitate Richard and establish a centralized system, perhaps the remaining Tufan tribes would collectively surrender together with an order to enroll.

It's a pity that the leader of the Tufan tribe didn't want to be left alone, Songtsen Gampo also wanted to use this civil war to wipe out all potential threats. Songtsen Gampo and Richard learned this very thoroughly...

Richard can quickly gain a foothold in the Western Regions, and is inseparable from the cleansing of you and me during the Civil War in the Western Regions.

Later, the Semu Uprising in the Western Regions was more like a purifier, and the basic racial contradictions in the Western Regions disappeared...

The large farm system of concentration camps, the death of the war and the large number of Semu people who were taken away by Linden Wan, made the grassroots of Semu people no longer exist in the Western Regions.

However, just when Songtsen Gambo planned to make persistent efforts to completely unify the Tufan kingdom before the ninth year of Ming Dynasty, Richard, who had put down the Western Regions rebellion, took action.

If Richard directly sent troops to attack the Tufan Kingdom Songtsen Gampo, it would not be chaotic. The big deal is to use the mountainous and plateau terrain of the Tufan Kingdom to fight guerrillas with the Ming army. The reason why Datang did not send troops to directly occupy the Tufan Kingdom was just Turning the Tufan into a vassal state is because I saw that the cost of conquering was too high.

The current Ming State is much weaker than the original Tang Dynasty at its peak. During the peak period of the Tang Dynasty, it can draw a million soldiers. How much can the current Ming State draw?

Even if the quality of the Ming National Dao soldiers is higher, is it possible that they can still fight ten one at a time?

After all, it is not a pure warrior corps!

Moreover, once the Ming army invaded, Songtsen Gampo, who had already taken absolute advantage in the Tufan civil war, could hold high the banner of righteousness and call on all the Tufan tribes to fight the enemy together. At that time, the leaders of the rebellious Tufan tribe must even if they don’t want Joined Songtsen Gambo to fight the Ming army.

After all, this is a battle of ethnic groups, and if foreign enemies invade, it would be unhappy to fight against the people at the bottom of the civil war!

Although there is no clear national thinking in this era, it has strong regional exclusion. This is also the reason why dozens of regional forces have formed in the southeast coast to fight each other after the collapse of Datang.

This kind of regional xenophobia is mainly caused by the inconvenience of communication and the difficulty of non-governmental communication in various places. It is also a common problem in the era of cold weapons.

Many times, in a unified empire, there will be several or even dozens of regional dialects, even the language is different, it is not surprising that there is an exclusiveness...

Fortunately, the people and the upper class in East Asia have always had the feelings of a unified dynasty, so the resistance to reunification is far lower than in other regions.

However, the Tufans have never been unified by the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, they will not have the idea of ​​uniting with the Han people. Even if the Tufans are unified, they hope that they will conquer the outside world instead of being conquered!

This is a very serious cultural antagonism. If you want to eliminate it, you must go through one or two generations of cultural education and unification, or simply take a knife to kill a generation...

Well, Genghis Khan in the history of the earth used a knife to complete national unity. The Mongols who were originally only a few hundred thousand later became tens of millions...

All the thorns are killed, and the remaining assimilation is easy.

Because of this, Richard did not directly send the Ming army to invade, otherwise the rebellious tribes would not agree even if they wanted to cooperate. After all, ordinary Tufan tribes were fighting, and the tribe leader was not the main force in the war!

Richard from the earth naturally understands this truth, not to mention that the current Ming army is indeed not rich. The Western Regions have begun a national compulsory military service system, and the northwestern region is also training recruits. The defense line facing the green-skinned orcs in the north is dying every day. people!

Only the Western Region Legion and the few soldiers of the riding and cutting system can be mobilized by Richard at any time.

To put it bluntly, they are all system soldiers, if there were no system soldiers ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Richard's country would have collapsed long ago.

Li Cha didn't want to push Songtsen Gampo's opponents to him, even if these remaining rebel tribes had lingered and could not pose a threat to Songtsen Gampo.

But these rebellious tribes still control a lot of people. What they lack is only the weapons and training and the necessary time!

As a result, Richard ordered the cabinet to formulate a strategic plan to interfere in the Tufan civil war.

First of all, hundreds of selected, reliable and politically loyal Han basic-level military officers acted as instructors and entered the Tufan rebel tribes seeking peace to train the army.

Secondly, send a small number of troops to station in the base of the rebel tribe in the name of ‘maintain the peace of Tufan’s tribes,’ to prevent the rebel tribe from being destroyed by the dominant Songtsen Gambo army.

These are all exchanges of political benefits, and no money is collected. The major rebel tribes only need to admit that Ming is their suzerain.

The rest of the ordnance business is to pay, whether it is Tang coins or precious metals such as gold and silver.

Since the civil war in Tufan, the underdeveloped military industry in the Tufan Kingdom has been cleared. Only Songtsan Gampo has the ability to build ordnance, and it is still a small manual workshop model...

Even the Western Regions after the Great Uprising are more capable of building ordnance than the Tufan Kingdom!

In addition, in the process of suppressing the uprising, the Ming army seized a large number of weapons that were about to be eliminated, all of which were sold to the Tufan rebel tribes at high prices along with new weapons.

The Tufan rebellion tribe and Songtsen Gampo had more defeats in the war with Songtsen Gampo. The original accumulated ordnance has long been exhausted. Even if the quality of the weapons provided by Mingguo is not good, the price is the same as the newly-built weapons, but I can only grit my teeth. buy……

At least, these weapons can kill people and are much better than ‘toys’ like sticks!

In this way, Tufan Xinding's weapons have been lost.
