Changsun Ze's comments aroused dissatisfaction among the original generals of the Tang Dynasty, but all his words were true. If you lead troops on the front line, you will know how powerful the soldiers in the mountains of Sichuan are. .

The reason why they didn't show it at the time was because they were not trustworthy yet, so they were not given the weapons that the Tang army should have. Instead, they were given some cold weapons, so their combat effectiveness was not brought into play, except for Apart from their fearless enthusiasm, they have no other advantages.

But when these people got the standard weapons of the Tang Dynasty army, they were immediately different from before. The spirit of fearlessness on the battlefield still existed, and they were very attentive during training, mainly because they had to You have to work hard. Only by working hard to gain military honors can the people in your family live a better life. Otherwise, they can only continue to live a hard life. There is still a difference between them and other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

The other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have not been in the army for a year. With the generous military pay over the years, their families have also lived a good life, but the soldiers on the mountain have to start over. Fortunately, the army of the Tang Dynasty will not wipe out Their merits, as long as you have contributed to the Tang Dynasty, will be converted into money and official positions, and no one will suffer, so now their lives are getting better and better.

This is like a mutually reinforcing thing. When their lives are better, they want to keep it all even more. Then when the Tang Dynasty encounters a war, they will rush forward even more recklessly. As long as If the Tang Dynasty still exists, then their family's life will get better and better.

"If you don't have any objections, then starting from next month, the army of the chieftains and our army will also receive the same salary. Before, there was still a 20% gap. This is also a good test. They cannot have this gap now.”

No one else has any objections to Li Xiang's proposal. The army composition of the Tang Empire is too complicated now. We were the first to capture Tuyuhun, but their army still holds 80% of the army. salary.

Just because there are many gaps between Tubo and Tubo in the land of Tuyuhun, and since we have not broken you off for so many years, you people cannot enjoy the salary of Datang soldiers. I can give you 80% of the salary. This is also because In terms of past achievements, otherwise it would only be 60% at most.

Next are the Turkic soldiers and Xueyantuo soldiers. They surrendered relatively early, but they did not make much contribution on the battlefield. At most, they were just some security troops, so their salary was only about 70%. Sometimes I still Chances are it will be less.

As for the soldiers from various countries in the Western Regions, their wages are even less. This ratio is generally around 50%, and their food and drink will also be somewhat reduced. After all, they have only surrendered for a relatively short time, and even in their military camps they still have Deserters discovered.

Of course, the people who spend the least money and are the most efficient are the Fuso people. These people only have 20% to 30% of their salary, but they can do twice or twice the work without any complaints. As long as these people are Everyone was very excited to work for the Tang Dynasty court. People are not here to ask for money, they are here to ask for points. According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the points are full, you can enjoy the status of one-half of a Tang Dynasty person. Of course, this opportunity is very difficult. , even if you work hard all your life, you may only reach the standard in points, but it is more likely that you will not reach the standard.

The reason why Li Xiang made this plan in the first place was to inspire the people of Fuso and Goguryeo to strive, and one or two that meet the standards will be released every year as propaganda objects to deceive them, but more or even 99% of them will No one has such an opportunity.

But it is obvious that Li Xiang's deception strategy is very good. So far, whether they are Fusang people or Goguryeo people, they have only one goal in mind, and that is to add their own scores. If the scores are added up, then future generations can become a real Tang Dynasty person, rather than a so-called colonial person.

This name was also proposed by Li Xiang recently. Although he did not clearly divide all people into three, six or nine grades, everyone also had a grade in their hearts. The reason why Li Xiang did not distinguish them openly was because he was afraid of the differences between the grades. They were fighting each other, so they adopted a more obscure approach.

However, Li Xiang does things differently from other feudal dynasties. After other feudal dynasties have assigned you levels, you are not allowed to skip levels without authorization. But this does not matter to Li Xiang. He can arrange a channel for you to rise, but it is very It's just difficult. How difficult is it? The success rate is only about 0.1%.

But even so, people in each colony are very happy, because they have a superficial channel. As long as they work well for the Tang army, for the Tang court, and to share the worries of His Royal Highness, then even though we It is possible that we will not be able to become a Tang Dynasty person, but our descendants will definitely be able to. When a person dies in battle, the points will be directly inherited by a male in his family, which is also very good.

Therefore, on the battlefield in Vietnam, countless Fusang and Goguryeo people sacrificed their lives one after another, so that one day their descendants could become ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, and become ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, without having to fight in Fusang. He worked hard in Goguryeo and never got ahead in his life.

After talking about the things here, Li Xiang suddenly remembered what happened in the Western Regions. You must know that a war has been fought here for half a year. There should also be some new situations happening in the Western Regions. The Arab Empire sent They have so many troops and have not fought with us. I don’t know how far their war in the West has progressed.

When Li Xiang asked this question, everyone didn't know how to answer. After all, the Western Region is too far away from us. Only once in nearly two months has someone sent news. The news from two months ago is there. The entire Western Region is here. Slow recovery, as for the situation in the Arab Empire, because the intelligence personnel have not been there for a long time, they did not find many useful things... (End of this chapter)
