Alien Arms Empire

"I am not prepared to enter Qin as a victor at all. I am prepared to become the ruler of Qin as a liberator." Tang Mo said at the meeting.

Of course he is not prepared to turn the Qin region into his own colony. If he wants a colony, the Orc Empire is obviously a better choice.

In addition, the Tang State already had several colonies and a low-level ruling area. These places have not yet been specifically planned and managed. It is impossible for the Tang State to wastefully turn Qin into that kind of place.

"I have only one ambition from the beginning to the end! That is, within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, all the people of the Tang Dynasty! People of the Tang Dynasty! There are only people of the Tang Dynasty! There can only be people of the Tang Dynasty! Those who agree with the Tang Dynasty and understand the Tang Dynasty are all I'm from the Tang Dynasty!" Tang Mo didn't want to turn a quick victory into an endless security war.

 He has too much experience to refer to in this regard. The idiotic colonial strategies of Europe and the United States and the one-shot trading style of pirates are simply idiotic behaviors.

 It is a fool's errand to choose such a crude way to manage his occupied area. What he wants is for the local people to accept the culture of the Tang State, identify with the Tang State, become its subjects, integrate into the Tang State and become an integral part of the Tang State.

Even though he knew that it would take many, many years, much money, and much blood, and much more patience...

But everything is worth it. Regional barriers must be eliminated, because the Tang Dynasty is already too big, and such a huge empire cannot have too many regional differences.

Tang Mo didn’t want his empire to become like Mongolia one day in the future. It would first turn into the four great khanates, and then be shattered in the wind like gravel, split into fragments that would never communicate with each other.

"I would rather not have it than allow a piece of land to become a special exception... I don't want good exceptions, and I don't want bad ones!" Tang Mo reminded his ministers one by one, banging on the table.

"The education is the same! The development is the same! The management is the same! The system is the same! The future military will be the same! That is the Tang Dynasty! The people there are my people! If you abuse them, you are abusing me!" On this kind of issue, Tang Mo believed that there was no way to be careless.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty who were about to take office lowered their heads and recorded the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor. They were about to go to Qin to serve as officials and manage that land where the people were strong and the system was completely different.

The people there are good at fighting and are willing to use force to solve any problem. The land there is relatively barren and the economic conditions are relatively backward.

But officials are officials, and transferring them to Qin actually gives them a great opportunity. They had been promoted before leaving, and they would naturally become chief officials in many areas after leaving.

 If they do well, they may become a good competitor for the empire's center in the future. This is a test but also a great opportunity. By seizing this opportunity, unknown people like them may one day become the brightest stars on the stage of fighting for world hegemony.

"Let the people live and work in peace and contentment! If they break the law, use the law to manage them. If they abide by the law, they will be your food, clothing, and parents! People are like water, and the Tang Dynasty is like a boat. Water can carry a boat but also capsize it! I hope this principle will be engraved into you It will never be forgotten in my mind for the rest of my life!" Tang Mo looked at the officials in front of him, and he almost said everything he wanted to say clearly.

 This was a test, not only for these officials, but also for the Tang Empire. The land area has almost doubled, and the people in the occupied areas are so numerous that the Tang Empire simply does not have enough officials to manage such a vast land.

Therefore, Tang Mo could not name almost all the people who attended this meeting. Only a few of them had met Tang Mo before, and these officials who had met Tang Mo could now be said to have truly closed the border. Big officials. They are all very young, some are just 30 years old. If normal promotion and selection procedures were followed, they might have to wait until they were fifty to reach their current position.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Long live our Emperor! Long live your Majesty! We will definitely abide by Your Majesty's teachings and serve the empire's herdsmen until we die!" Everyone stood up and swore to Tang Mo.

 …

A civilian car slowly parked next to a camp. The Qin soldiers here looked a little tired. Only the guards standing guard stood at attention and saluted the officers who got out of the car.

"Sir!" The soldier on duty was a little uneasy, because he knew that the number of guards assigned to the troops here was too small, and the distance did not meet the regulations. At this moment, they were simply undefended.

 But this is not entirely their fault. They have traveled 40 kilometers in one day, and each of them is carrying a large amount of ammunition and food...

This kind of marching speed is already the limit. After all, many troops do not have cars, and most companies even drive cattle and horses.

They had no choice but to march from the far north of Shu to Wuyang, the capital of Qin. They had traveled more than 230 kilometers in a few days. This is almost the limit.

According to the order, because Wuyang lacked food and did not have much ammunition, they could not march quickly and lightly. Instead, they had to carry a large amount of ammunition to ensure their combat capabilities and their own supply capabilities, and then go north to fight.

 That is to say, they have to feed themselves, prepare their own weapons and fight their own wars...and once the ammunition and food they carry are used up, they basically have no new supplies to look forward to.

 In the past, such an order would have been a joke. No one would command a battle like this, but now they are executing such ridiculous orders because the city they are going to rescue is called Wuyang.

 That is the sun of the Qin State, and it is the most sacred place in the hearts of the people of the Qin State. So they headed north at all costs and ran at an astonishing speed.

"It doesn't matter! No need to alarm anyone! Let everyone take a rest." Liu Zhian stopped the soldier from waking up the sleeping soldiers around him with his hands, and ordered in a low voice.

He had hardly slept in the past few days. Because he did not dare to use radio equipment, he could only run from one army to another along the road to personally supervise the march of his men.

 Except for sleeping in the car for a while, he never closed his eyes. So, tired, he walked directly into the headquarters of the army, took a cup of hot water from the officer on duty, sat on the chair and sighed softly.

His rearguard troops received news that the Tang army had captured the Shushan defense line and completely surrounded Shushan City. His retreat is now blocked, and soon the rearguard troops deployed in Nanjiao City will be attacked by the Tang army.
