The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 256 World Police·Datang
On the canopy.

Tianshan.

Dozens of barbarian warriors shouted and rode forward.

Behind him is an endless army of barbarians.

In front of Hu Qi, the general in white robes had a look of disdain on his face and a look of disdain in his eyes.

Holding the bow in hand, he took an arrow.

"blow!"

A loud sound!
The sharp arrow hit the first person riding on the opposite side, and Hu Jiang was knocked down and killed.

……

[In December 661 AD, Tiele invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty. Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, appointed Zheng Rentai as the general manager of the march on Tiele Road, and Xue Rengui as the deputy general manager of the march on Tiele Road to attack Tiele. 】

[In March 662 AD, after the nine surnames of Tiele, including Huihe, Pugu, Hunba, Yegu, Tongluo, Sijie, and Khitan, led their troops to arrive at the Tianshan Mountains, the nine surnames of Tiele united with more than soldiers to resist. 】

[The enemy selected dozens of brave soldiers to challenge first. Xue Rengui fired three arrows and killed three of them, and the rest dismounted and surrendered. 】

[However, the Tang army did not accept Tie Le's surrender. Zheng Rentai attacked the enemy with troops and captured Tie Le's family as a reward for his sergeants. 】

[Xue Rengui also killed the enemy troops who came to surrender. Tie Le saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly escaped. 】

[In the process of chasing Tiele, Zheng Rentai's deputy general Yang Zhi was defeated by the enemy. 】

[Zheng Rentai received intelligence and knew the location of the enemy's marching supplies, equipment, etc., and led the attack. 】

[So he led 14,000 men and advanced with light cavalry, but as far as the Xian'e River, there was no sign of the enemy, and he began to lack food. 】

[The soldiers were hungry and encountered heavy snow, so they had to abandon their weapons and kill the horses first to satisfy their hunger. After the horses were eaten, they began to eat each other. When the army returned to the Tang Dynasty, only 800 people were left. 】

[Xue Rengui, on the other hand, led his troops to pursue the remaining Tiele tribesmen all the way to Qibei, where they captured Ye Hu and three others. 】

[At that time, there was a ballad circulated in the world: "The general set the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, and the soldiers entered Hanguan with a long song." 】

[And the Nine Surnames will no longer be a frontier threat. 】

[In February 663 AD, Li Zhi moved the Yanran Protectorate to the land of Huihe and renamed it Hanhai Protectorate. He moved the old Hanhai Protectorate to Yunzhong Castle and renamed it Yunzhong Protectorate. 】

[The two Protectorate Prefectures are bounded by Qiu. The northern prefecture of Qihai is placed under the Hanhai Protectorate Prefecture, and the prefecture to the south belongs to the Yunzhong Protectorate Prefecture. 】

……

{When I first read "Tang Huiyao", it was recorded that Xue Rengui and Zheng Rentai killed "more than nine hundred thousand people", and I didn't know whether it was an extra nine or a broken sentence of nine or ten. ｝
{The author knows how to take quotes out of context, but you didn’t mention a word about what happened next. ｝
{What's going on? ｝
{Over there, Zheng Rentai sent troops, and Xue Rengui took the opportunity to take a foreign woman as his concubine, and stuffed a lot of money into his pockets. He had both wealth and sex, which caused the march to be delayed. ｝
{Fuck, after talking a lot, isn’t it still a triumph? ｝

……

Datang.

"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin, who was delighted to see the divine shot in the sky, his face fell when he heard this, and then he smiled and said:

"What's the matter, Wei Qing?"

The little old man held up the wat board and said loudly:
"Since ancient times, killing and surrender are unlucky."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, while the other military officials in the palace rolled their eyes.

Here we go again, the same old thing.

"But this kind of bad habit in the military didn't change overnight, so I won't waste much time talking about it."

Ok?
The emperor, queen, prince, ministers, and palace guards all looked shocked.

Wei Zheng didn't care and continued to speak loudly:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"It is not worth mentioning the non-killing surrender, but the actual reasons for refusing to surrender are chilling."

"Sent troops to attack the enemy and plunder them as rewards."

"They are brutal and wantonly killing."

"Therefore, kill and surrender, and starve and kill the soldiers."

"The expedition is not successful, but it is greedy and useless."

"Your Majesty! Are these our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Is this what the Heavenly Khan should do?!"

Everyone in the hall looked at Wei Zheng with bright eyes, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin, whose face was as heavy as water. His sharp eyes swept across the trembling Li Zhi, and he said sharply:

"Plunder the population to reward the soldiers, pursue them with a large army and pay them in bribes."

"These two are purely selfish behaviors, or there may be other reasons!"

The ministers were in an uproar.

Wei Zheng, your mother's maid, you almost said it was the emperor who was alluding to it!

"I think the military system should be reformed."

The military officials could not sit still. Country bumpkin! What are you going to do!
Ignoring those eyes that were choosing to devour others, Wei Zheng said with a solemn expression:
"The government army was originally a combination of soldiers and farmers, and the property and weapons were all promised by the state."

"However, the general actually wants to use plunder as a reward to encourage his soldiers, and to support his troops as a bribe."

"Your Majesty is a great general, so you should know more about this than I do?"

Li Shimin slowly closed his eyes and clenched his hands into fists.

Wei Zheng looked around, but no one met his eyes.

Only a sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the hall.

"This shows that the quality of soldier recruitment has declined."

"Why did it drop? Because the people are tired of war!"

"It can be seen that even if the country still offers benefits to entice people to join the army, the long-term war will inevitably lead to the realization of the country's commitments becoming slower and slower."

“Reaching the most prosperous territory is not achieved for nothing.”

"The people will not benefit, and the people will not want to fight."

"But the battle still has to be fought."

"So, how can we do it without promising huge profits?"

"Everyone..."

Wei Zheng took another look around and said word by word:

"What can you teach me!"

……

Song Yingzong Period
He is dressed in white and tied with red leather around his waist.

Zhao Shu put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky and said:
"Are these two lines the song about Ouyang participating in politics and the general's three arrows reaching Tianshan Mountain?"

Ouyang Xiu, who was wearing official uniform, bowed his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, this ballad has not been found on Xue Rengui's monument. It should have been added by the descendants of the Xue family."

"The source should be from Li Yi's "The Song of Saixia"

"Fu Bo only wishes to return wrapped in corpses, so there is no need to live in the pass at Dingyuan. Don't send his body back to the sea cave, leaving an arrow to shoot into the Tianshan Mountains."

"Li Yi once served as a staff member in the battle against the barbarians in the north. There is a sentence in his "Joining the Army in the Northern Expedition": "After the snow in the Tianshan Mountains, the sea is windy and cold." He has been to the Tianshan Mountains and heard about Xue Rengui's deeds."

"After the song "Crossing the Fortress" became known to the world, the Xue family changed it with verses."

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Zhanji grinned and said:
"This Tang Jun doesn't seem to be a master of kings? He doesn't talk much about benevolence and righteousness."

Zhu Di sneered.

"Benevolence and righteousness, what is the use of benevolence and righteousness?"

"During Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers had no profit from fighting, and the land was not divided enough."

"Not allowing government soldiers to rob is equivalent to helping the country fight the war at a loss. This is a compromise made by the generals against reality."

"In addition to looting property, the Tang army also trafficked people."

"A large number of maidservants from the Western Regions and the Korean Peninsula were imported into Chang'an, and the great poets could buy a few."

"Tens of thousands of people were captured as slaves in Tubo, and only a few thousand died after just eight months."

"In the historical legends of the Tubo people, Tang is a man-eating monster. They also have heroic aspirations to resist the invasion of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Tang Dynasty also captured tens of thousands of Turkic slaves in one battle and sold them all directly to the Western Regions. After the war, they even made a lot of money."

"Huh, Renyi."

Zhu Gaochi on the side looked at the stunned Zhu Zhanji and said:

"The Tang Dynasty was not a Central Plains Confucian dynasty like the Han, Jin, and Song Dynasties." "The Tang Dynasty was ruled by military aristocrats who inherited the power of the Hu people."

"The Tang Dynasty's army did not send troops from the capital, but stationed troops for generations."

"The original intention was to suppress rebellion on the spot, but later it turned into sending troops to plunder affiliated tribes, forcing them to rebel and then suppressing the rebellion."

"This was also part of the reason for the Anshi Rebellion later."

"It's not that easy to control these warlords, big and small."

“So this is the principle of benevolent government.”

"Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is not only to preserve one's own strength, but also to prevent the possibility of relying on the troops to gain self-respect."

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but put his head in his hands.

I'm still a kid! You made me understand something so complicated!
……

　Looking at it from another perspective, Datang was also the world policeman at that time in the eyes of those countries.

　　Sure enough, history is interesting.
