Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 85 The Most Strange Khotan Feudal Lord
The servant of the Huangmen Gate, a member of the Tonghe Palace, a lieutenant in charge of the Fengtian military, and knows about Yao Tougang.

This is the official position that Zhang Zhao got from Li Shengtian. The position of Minister of the Yellow Gate 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 edicts.

However, when Li Shengtian gave Zhang Zhao the position of servant of the Huangmen, it was definitely not for Zhang Zhao to assist him in handling state affairs, but for Zhang Zhao to solve the matter of how to explode the Shule city wall as soon as possible, so that he could go to the palace to discuss with Li Shengtian at any time.

Tonghedian entry value, this sounds a bit like the official position of Banzhi in the Song Dynasty. It belongs to the emperor's guard and has the right to enter and leave the forbidden palace. Obviously, it is also a false title to facilitate Zhang Zhao's entry into the palace.

Supervising the Fengtian military, note that this is supervising the Fengtian military, not supervising the Fengtian military.

The Fengtian Army was formed by Li Shengtian for the more than [-] people under Zhang Zhao's command, as well as the dozens of carpenters and stonemasons who were about to be assigned to him, and the [-] miners he authorized to recruit on his own.

By the way, Li Shengtian also dispatched 50 people from his palace guard to Zhang Zhao, who was the handsome palace guard who was almost disfigured by Zhang Zhaokeng.

Add sand!If this sand was not mixed, Zhang Zhao would doubt whether Li Shengtian was a qualified king.

Lieutenant is the highest officer of the Fengtian Army. Zhang Zhao's mother was named Princess Fengtian. Li Shengtian bestowed Zhang Zhao with the Fengtian Army. From now on, he can be called Lieutenant Fengtian.

Knowing about Yao Tougang, of course, means that Yao Tougang officially belongs to Zhang Zhao from today onwards. 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 won the title of feudal lord cannot have private troops.

From now on, apart from the [-] guan worth of tribute he pays to Li Shengtian every year, everything about Yao Tougang, including any income generated, will belong to Zhang Zhao.

Of course, the property of thirty guan is nothing, the real big advantage is that he has the obligation to send ten soldiers to fight for Li Shengtian, and in principle, he must prepare his own clothes, armor, food and compensation.

So far, the most wonderful feudal lord of the Dajin Kingdom in the past ten years was born.

First of all, he does not have the noble titles of Khotan-style feudalism, such as the kings, governors, and Amozhis of the old Khotan aristocrats, but is a governor who obviously has the characteristics of a local official.

Secondly, his fiefdom is so small that it makes people laugh and cry, with a total of [-] acres of fertile land, and a broken castle in Yaotougang with a radius of five or six miles, so that his share of troops sent is the smallest in Khotan, with only ten people.

And according to the scale of Yaotougang, if it wasn't close to the royal city, apart from gaining some trade advantages, it wouldn't even be able to support ten private soldiers.

And third, he is one of the feudal lords with the most powerful private soldiers in Khotan. He has 28 elite soldiers, [-] armored cavalry, [-] elite light cavalry, and [-] auxiliary soldiers (miners).

According to the rules, they can hire no more than twice the real auxiliary soldiers from Khotan City at the market price, that is, people who do heavy work on the battlefield, cut off heads, and assist in looting after breaking the city.

That is to say, in the limit state, Zhang Zhao can legally have three armies of 50 people, for a total of 50 people, one tenth of which has very good combat power.

You must know that Khotan's national mobilization is able to pull out [-] people, and more than [-] people are in Anxi, which is definitely not a small force.

Therefore, when Zhang Zhao came out of Li Shengtian's Palace, he felt extremely comfortable.

What does his uncle, the emperor, say? It is unanimously believed in history that he is a rare hero in the history of Khotan.

But Zhang Zhao felt that his name was not worthy of his name, judging from his expression of joy and anger, his extravagant spending, his belief in Buddhism, and the daring of his confidant officials to accept bribes openly.

But today, Zhang Zhao's perception of him has changed again. This guy is still good at playing tricks, at least at the level of an upper-middle monarch.

The Khotan palace looks loose, but in fact it is very heavily guarded inside, and the Khotan palace guards are also well-trained.

This can be seen after the explosion, those palace guards seemed to emerge from the ground, and regardless of Li Shengtian's scolding, they resolutely escorted him to a safe area, regardless of whether Zhang Zhao was Li Shengtian's nephew. Treat everyone who comes close as an enemy first.

This is a very elite sign, which shows that the Khotan army, at least the training of the palace guards is very regular, and has its own inheritance. If a monarch can have such a loyal guard, he cannot be an unreliable and stupid monarch.

This reminded Zhang Zhao of a big name, uh!Perhaps it should be called the famous monarch.

Of course it was not a ruthless character like Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Wenming Taizu, nor an emperor with mixed reputation like Tang Xuanzong.

Instead, I brought Lord Qingming, the seal terminator, the ancestor of heavy metal Shamat aesthetics, and Shiquan greatly complemented my Qianlong name.

You say he is incapable!That's a lie, he is very capable, you can say he is a Mingjun, but he always falls short in everything he does.

Good face, extravagance, and long life span. If you are in a hurry, you can cheer up your country's luck, but most of the time, you always put your personal fame and happiness first.

But such a monarch has an advantage. If you agree with his appetite, then he is really good to you. As long as you don't let him lose face, you can say anything.

. . . .

"Fourteen! Fourteen!" The fiery Zhang Zhao yelled as soon as he returned to Yaotougang, and Cao Shisi stuck his head out of a room reluctantly.

"Within five days, I want thirty catties of gunpowder. The ratio must be the best. I will send the materials right away. Can you do it?" Zhang Zhao looked at Cao Yanming with a grin.

Cao Yanming's expression changed immediately, "Accordingly, the materials are complete. Thirty catties of gunpowder will take less than five days. I can make it in two days, but you generously gave me five days. Uncle, don't you?" Could it be that the charcoal is not good enough, so I need to refine it myself?"

"Oh!" Zhang Zhao laughed exaggeratedly, with a little flattery on his face.

"You can't hide anything from me, Fourteenth Lang! The charcoal sellers outside don't understand such high-end goods as Shenhuo Lei, they are extremely vulgar, and only those made by Fourteenth Lang are the best."

"My God, I can't do this! You're exhausting me!" Cao Yanming almost burst into tears. Grinding and baking charcoal is by no means an easy task.

"I'll pick two ingenious female slaves from Khotan City for you to help you. The so-called men and women working together is not tiring!" Zhang Zhao winked and kept firing at Cao Yanming.

"Who cares about orchid female slaves! 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, my uncle's son of heaven has several princesses who have reached the age of Ji, and they are so beautiful! My uncle also told me to pay attention to whether there are any young heroes around me!" Zhang Zhao sighed pretendingly.

"You! You are really my good cousin!" Cao Yanming stared at Zhang Zhao, wanting to refuse, but he was a bit reluctant.

Princess Khotan!Everyone in the Cao family in Shazhou knew that the one who could marry Princess Khotan must be the leader of the Cao family, and the whole family had to look up to him.

His sixth elder brother Cao Yanlu, a future star of the Cao family, is struggling with how to marry a Khotan princess.

Zhang Erlang actually used this to lure him!It smells so good!
"Did the Great Sage Emperor really tell you that?" Cao Yanming surrendered, and Princess Khotan's temptation to him was really great!
"What do you think? I, Zhang Erlang, don't count what I say?" Zhang Zhao had a thick skin, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

Of course, if it is really possible, he is still willing to work hard for Cao Yanming, so that he can better tie him by his side.

"Okay! You find me two ingenious female slaves, I will not sleep for a few days at worst!"
