Crown Tang emperor

Chapter 0848 the death of the general, restlessness in northern Xinjiang

Not to mention the entanglement between Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Renyuan, shortly after Wang Xiaojie left, Liu Youqiu rushed to the palace to see him again.

At the beginning of the year, the government affairs hall of the imperial court made some adjustments. Liu Youqiu no longer served as Shangshu Zuocheng, but as the prime minister and the minister of the military department, and at the same time, he was in charge of the current Lishan martial arts performance.

Seeing Liu You Qiuxing enter the hall, Li Tong put the file in his hand on the desk, and then asked, "How are the funeral preparations for Duke Liang?"

Liang Guogong was Qi Biming, the governor of Shuofang, who died of a serious illness a month ago.Hearing the sage's question, Liu Youqiu replied: "The coffin has been transported back to Beijing, and the coffin will be welcomed back by the king of Xinping and the governor of the funeral. After discussing posthumous posthumous title, it can be buried in the Qianling Mausoleum."

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words, feeling a little sad in his heart, and turned his head to tell Yang Sixuan who was standing on the left side of the case: "Tomorrow, I will return to Beijing with my book, and I will go to Liangguo's mansion for questioning. If the family has any appeals, the author will give priority to it." Please handle it and ask the queen to attend the funeral on my behalf."

During the revolution in Shendu in the early years, Qi Biming was Xue Huaiyi's deputy commander of the army at that time. Because he refused to follow Xue Huaiyi, he chose to take refuge in today's saint who was only a knighted king at that time.After the Shendu revolution ended, Li Tong left the center and returned to Guanzhong. Qi Biming also followed, and soon went to Hequ Shuofang to sit in town, representing the Tiele tribes and Tuyuhun survivors who were in charge of Xingtai there.

This stay lasted for several years, and finally died in the job.Although it is said that compared with Zhang Renyuan and others who rose up later, Qi Biming did not make many achievements on the frontal battlefield, but during his tenure for several years, there has never been any large-scale turmoil in Hequ. Gong is already commendable.

Without Qi Biming's dedication to maintain the Hequ situation, it would have been very difficult for Li Tong to concentrate his Taiwan troops to fight against Tubo in Qinghai as early as the Xingtai period.

Therefore, even though Qi Biming didn't spend much time in court, Li Tong was very grateful for this general in Jiuzhen, and felt very sad about his death. He couldn't help sighing: "Last autumn, The Duke of Liang returned the letter to the court, hoping to return to the court for honor and support, but unfortunately the court thought about it and discussed it, but did not agree. Even if I still want to make full use of my talents, it is no longer possible. I am indeed at a disadvantage to the Duke of Liang ah!"

After Liu Youqiu heard the words, he also said with emotion: "Although Liang Guogong was born among the barbarians, he was able to deeply enlighten and uphold loyalty. He spent half his life as a soldier and horse, and donated his life to become a festival. This life is not disappointing. If there is a sage under the spring I am deeply saddened by his passing, and Ying Ling Xiang is also very honored."

Qi Biming was born in the Qi Bi tribe of Tie Le. He and his father Qi Bi Heli both served the Tang Dynasty. He was a representative of Tang generals from Zhenguan to Gaozong. Both loyalty and meritorious service can be praised. , is also one of the positive examples of Datang's openness and tolerance.

Leaving aside the pursuit of love, the death of Qi Biming will also have a great impact on the current situation, especially the order of Hequ will be greatly changed due to Qi Biming's death.

Previously, Hequ had Qi Biming, a man who knew Hu's feelings well and had good means, sitting in command. The court didn't need to invest too much energy in this regard. It only needed to ensure that the Turkic foreign enemy could not invade at any time. The rule of Jimi is also stable and solid. Even if the imperial court implements any tough government orders, it will not arouse large-scale conflicts and resistance among the Hequ Huhu.

But now that there is no suitable candidate Qi Biming to sit in and dispatch, the imperial court must devote more energy to the Hequ to maintain stability.

Although the establishment of the offensive and defensive system of the three surrendered cities allowed Datang to take greater initiative in dealing with the remnants of the Turks, the Turks were not the only problem in Heshuo. The impact of the overall border defense is still huge.

Now in Hequ, apart from the tens of thousands of Turkic descendants, there are also the population of the Tiele tribes, and the Tuyuhun survivors who moved here from the Qinghai area.These are just a few relatively large tribal forces, and there are countless other Hu tribes.

Although in the early years a few years ago, Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province at that time had already organized the people in the pass to respond to opening borders, and after the imperial center moved back to Chang'an, it directly promoted the registration of households among Zhuhu, but so far, the imperial court has The power deployed between Heshuo and the organizational power already possessed still cannot occupy an absolute advantage.

Among them, the Biantun Kaibianhu established by relying on the three surrendered cities already has more than 1 households, which can basically meet the daily consumption of the Heshuo garrison when the imperial army is not concentrated in Heshuo to launch a war.After the promotion of registration of registered households, nearly [-] households of Turkic descendants in Hequ six prefectures have been naturalized, plus more than [-] households of Tuyuhun adherents.

There are nearly 10,000 registered households, which can be regarded as registered residents under the direct jurisdiction of the state capital in Heshuo.But only the nine surnames of Tie Le are attached to each other, and there are [-]+ tents in the Hequ. This is only the Hu people who accepted the rule of the Tang Dynasty. If you add other uncontrolled people, this number will be even higher. More than double the steepness.

Of course, so many Hu tribes are not all under the command of one tribe, especially after the defeat of Dongshoujiang City and the Turkic forces have basically withdrawn from the Monan area, it is difficult for a powerful force to completely integrate such a large number of Hu tribes. stand up.

However, with so many unstable factors wandering between the meanders, once a disturbance occurs, it will directly affect the hinterland of Guanzhong, which is really a headache.It is far from an overnight achievement for so many people to want to rule completely. If they are expelled to the north of the Yellow River, it will add fuel to the remnants of the restoration of the Turks.

Therefore, who should be selected to replace Qi Biming to sit in Heshuo next is also a rather troublesome problem.Of course, the most critical issue is that although the national power has recovered and Li Tong intends to expand outward, Heshuo and Mobei are not the areas he wants to focus on for the time being.

After all, Datang's recuperation is still short at the moment, and the national power is not yet strong enough to squander and attack from all directions. Of course, it is necessary to choose a more important direction.It is very difficult for the Turks to invade wantonly now, and they are still recuperating in Mobei, and the local troubles in Heshuo are not big enough to affect the tilt of the national policy.

Therefore, in the future, we must not only pursue the previous tough attitude towards the Hu tribes in Heshuo, but also avoid the escalation and expansion of disputes and conflicts. This has higher requirements for the successor's ability.

After pondering for a while, Li Tong asked again: "Although it's a little unreasonable to do so, it still makes people ask, does Liang Guogong Changxi have any plans to inherit his father's will and return to the town with love?"

With the retreat of the Turks to Mobei, the power of the Tiele people in the Heshuo area has greatly increased.And because Qibi Heli and his son have successively become generals of the Tang family, the Qibi tribe among the nine surnames Tie Le is also the most pro-Tang tribe, and its strength is quite good.

Of course, the Qibi Ming family has been Tang officials for a long time. Although they are still the leaders of the Qibi tribe in name, they cannot be regarded as the same as the Qibi tribe.However, if Qi Biming's son-in-law succeeded him, it would undoubtedly be better than sending officials from the imperial court.As long as you ensure that the Qibi part is not out of control, there will be much more room for maneuvering in other places.

Liu Youqiu nodded after hearing the words, and then handed over another document and said, "This is the sage's previous order, all the ministries of Tie Le are serving in the dynasty, and the names of the generals participating in this Lishan martial arts performance."

Li Tong took the volume and flipped through it, and soon found a problem, pointing to the volume and frowning, he said, "Why didn't the Huihe army enter the dynasty alone?"

"Bisu, the leader of Huihe, died of illness in the spring of the second year of Kaiyuan. Proton was alone and asked to return to the Ministry to take charge of the affairs. He is still in mourning, so he sent his son-in-law, Emperor Fu, to lead the Ministry to participate in the ceremony."

Hearing the sage's question, Liu Youqiu replied.

After Li Tong heard the words, he snorted coldly, and said displeasedly: "Hu Nu has not been born for a long time, but he has also been impregnated with etiquette and righteousness? Since he is honored by my Tang family, he dares to violate my orders because of personal interests!"

He made this angry voice, and it was not completely unreasonable, and he even forbade the leader of the Hu tribe to mourn his father, but he knew that the Huihe leader's refusal to enter the court was not pure enough.

Today's Huihe, as the most powerful part of the Tiele tribes, has already received the attention of the court. The Hanhai Dufu, which was originally led by the Huihe leaders for generations, was directly removed, and the Huihe tribes were also split. Among them Part of them moved westward to attach themselves to Xizhou, with the leader of the Ada family in Huihe as the leader, and Sima of Xizhou.

The other part is the original Huihe leader Yao Luoge, who moved from the west of the Yellow River to Saizhou, one of the six Turkic surrender states set up in the Hequ area, as a force near the city of the surrendered city on the north bank.

Such an arrangement has actually divided the Huihe into two tribes, the East and the West.However, the Yaoluo Ge family has been the leader of Huihe for a long time, and his power is still not shallow. It is difficult to completely split Huihe through such means.

Li Tong arranged the Huihe medicine Luoge family among the Turkic descendants, hoping that through the internal friction between the two Hu tribes, the imperial court could do things better.

This is actually the case. With the entry of Huihe tribes, the survival pressure of the Turkic descendants increased sharply. In addition, Mochuo returned from the defeat in the East Surrendered City and failed to shake the situation that destroyed the entire Hequ. Therefore, the Turkic descendants The wealthy chieftains of households have little resistance to the imperial court's implementation of household registration.

But in addition to suppressing the Turkic settlements, Li Tong also had another idea, which was to use up the power of the medicine Luo Geshi through these Turkic settlements.But the effect of this intention is not good enough. Although the overall strength of the Yaoluoge family is far inferior to those of the six states, the cohesion is far superior.

The several small-scale frictions between the two sides, not only did not cause too much actual damage to the medicine Luogeshi, but the medicine Luogeshi formally gained a foothold in Hequ through several collisions.

Moreover, Bisu, the leader of this generation of Huihe, is indeed a treacherous and cunning person. He has endured the aggressive advances of the court several times, whether it is splitting his tribe, moving his subordinates to the east, or even sending his son into a hostage, he will not do anything. Resisting and submissively executing it made the court look like a villain who had no suzerain power and wantonly disrupted regional peace and order.

If it weren't for Li Tong's deep understanding of how Huihe was a great trouble to the Northwest in later generations, based on Huihe's current performance, he might really think that Huihe is a peaceful and harmless tribe.

Chapter 0849 Zhaode is powerful, accompanied by Lishan

Previously, Huihe's various acts of forbearance and concession made the imperial court unable to find an excuse to make use of the issue and continue to squeeze its living space.

But even if there is no memory of later generations as the basis for judgment, Li Tong also knows that the current obedience of these Hu tribes is just a lack of strength, and they have to endure it for perfection.Once the strength grows, the ambition will naturally be revealed.

Like the mid-Tang period in the later generations, the Anshi Rebellion caused unrest in the world, and the prosperity was prematurely terminated.At that time, the Hequ land was definitely not peaceful, and Huihe also stood on the bones of the late Turks and officially rose, lying on the body of the Tang Dynasty and sucking blood desperately to strengthen itself.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was leaking everywhere, and in the face of all kinds of outrageous extortion by Huihe, it could only maintain patience. In addition to thick money and bribery, it also tried to introduce other Hu tribe forces, hoping to form a confrontation and balance.

But in the case of insufficient strength, reluctantly playing these balancing methods is just drinking poison to quench thirst, and it also cultivated Shatuo armed forces and party forces throughout the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and even the Song Dynasty.

This time, the new leader of Huihe did not want to participate in the martial arts performance held by the imperial court in Lishan. Although he said he wanted to mourn his father, it is understandable that he did not want to be overly controlled by the imperial court. Seek something good.

Although Li Tong had no intention of using his troops in Hequ, of course he would not let Huihe play tricks.After flipping through the books in his hand, he looked up at Liu Youqiu again and said, "Is it possible for You Ren to sit in Heshuo?"

Originally, in history, Zhang Renyuan became famous in the three surrendered cities.So when considering Qi Biming's successor, he naturally thought of Zhang Renyuan.

Liu Youqiu pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then said: "Zhang Ren wished that in the Northeast, he has made outstanding achievements and is skilled in ordering chaos. But his human nature is harsh and ungrateful, he is good at collecting little sympathy, and at the same time he is greedy for merit. , fearing that this side will no longer be peaceful. Now that the Turks are slumped in Mobei, the barbarians have not called it a serious problem, and the imperial court is stationed there permanently, which is also contrary to the sage's plan."

Li Tong was a little uncertain at first, so he asked Liu Youqiu for his opinion. Hearing that Liu Youqiu didn't think Zhang Renyuan was a good choice, he also gave up this plan in his heart.

It's not that Zhang Renyuan's ability is not enough, but Zhang Renyuan's ability is too strong compared to what He Shuo needs right now.If this guy is really sent to Heshuo, he may not be willing to just maintain the original situation of Qibiming, he must be aggressive first, and may directly lead an army to expedition against the remnants of the Turks in Mobei in a minute, and may not concentrate on managing Hequ Hu Qing situation.

Although the current Turks are indeed greatly damaged, the remoteness and desolation of Mobei also provides them with a wide and deep space.At present, the imperial court has not yet made a plan to return the army to the north on a large scale. Once the offensive and defensive situation is rashly expanded, it is very likely that it will be anticlimactic and useless.

In addition to worrying that Zhang Renyuan was too radical and unable to control the strategic situation, Li Tong still hesitated, that is, the appointment of Zhang Renyuan's successor.After several years of experience in the Northeast, although Zhang Renyuan has shown his sharpness and made great achievements, some negative elements in his character have also become more prominent. He is a figure with mixed reputation in the ruling and opposition parties.

For a famous official like Zhang Renyuan, Li Tong naturally treats him differently and is tolerant, but it does not mean that he will indulge without a bottom line.Judging from his current state of mind in his words and deeds, it is indeed not suitable for him to be directly deployed as a front-line commander of the army, and to stay in the court for a period of time to handle some provincial affairs, which can not only calm his impetuous mood Down, the angle of view of things can also become more grand.

Moreover, Li Tong had long planned to be independent in military affairs and create a privy envoy.Previously, I was worried that the conflict between the DPRK and China, especially the prime ministers, would be too great, and some related matters were not yet mature, so I only made some changes from the side.

After more than two years of internal and external recuperation, the conditions are initially mature, and Li Tong plans to make a substantial push.And Zhang Renyuan was his favorite, the candidate for the first privy envoy.

Nowadays, there are many people with great meritorious service in the court, such as Hei Chi Chang Zhi, Lou Shide, etc. who have returned to the court, and there is also Wang Xiaojie who has presided over martial arts for three consecutive years.The old people, including Li Tong's original hidden mansion, also gradually grew up.

However, if you want to carry out such a high-level structural reform, the requirements in terms of qualifications are extremely high.The black-toothed general will stand in the dynasty. Although the prestige of meritorious service is sufficient, this status may be used by others to criticize the establishment of the privy envoy as a disorderly rank of the general.

As for Lou Shide, he was getting old and unable to bear the burden. After returning to Chang'an from Hebei, he served as a servant under his door, and occasionally sat in the Zhengshitang.

Wang Xiaojie, although the results of presiding over the martial arts in the past few years are not bad, but once the Privy Council is established, it is bound to grasp more secrets of the cardinal, and there will be some overlap and friction with the authority of the Political Affairs Hall.

If there was a conflict between the two parties, Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but stare and say that this is what the sage meant, you should argue with the sage.There is no doubt that this is a situation with a high probability of happening.

Although Li Tong wants to separate the military and the government, it is impossible to directly intervene in the dispute between the court and the court, so the choice of the privy envoy must be cautious, not only to be able to stay in the field, dare to compete with the separation of powers in the political affairs hall, but also to ensure that things are organized , to control competition within certain limits.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Renyuan is actually not the most suitable candidate. He is currently very arrogant and still needs to be polished.Apart from Zhang Renyuan, there is actually another candidate who is more suitable, and that is Tang Xiujing who is still in Anxi.

Tang Xiujing has been in the army for a long time, is proficient in world affairs, and is mature and prudent. If he serves as the Privy Council Envoy, it will undoubtedly make the establishment of the Privy Council smoother.However, considering the status of Tang Xiujing's relatives, Li Tong did not dare to overestimate him.

Since Zhang Renyuan was not suitable to be sent to Heshuo, Li Tong also had to consider other candidates.While meditating, he sketched the names on the paper. The names of several people were written one after another, and then ticked off one by one.

It's not that the imperial court doesn't have any talents to use. Yao Yuanchong and Liu Youqiu in the political affairs hall have been involved in military aircraft for a long time, and they can fully understand the intentions of the central government. Once they enter the town, they can quickly clean up the situation.

However, considering the prospect of adding the Privy Council, Li Tong did not want to let the prime minister take charge of the troops, at least not in the short term.Moreover, as the imperial army is about to advance aggressively, he does not have much energy to ask about politics. Letting Yao Yuanchong return to Zhongshu is also to allow the prime minister to have more room to maneuver in the next political situation and to do things. It's not enough to be tied up.

The collection and release of power should be changed according to the actual situation. Before that, the imperial court was recuperating and the military was shrinking. Of course, Li Tong had time and energy to intervene in various internal affairs one by one.

But now that the situation in the middle school has stabilized, and the central structure of the imperial court centered on him has also been established, appropriate decentralization is also necessary.After all, people's energy is limited, and power cannot be dealt with in a timely and effective manner when the power is in their hands. This kind of diligence is especially harmful to neglect.

After a lot of thinking, a new name appeared in Li Tong's pen, that is Li Zhaode, who entered the dynasty from Lingnan in the second year of Kaiyuan and was raised in Beijing.

"How is Zhaode's body now? Let the staff return to the capital and go to the mansion to inquire. If he is healthy and strong, call him to Lishan to accompany him to watch the martial arts."

Hearing the saint's words, Liu Youqiu's eyes also flashed a strange color. Unexpectedly, the saint suddenly thought of summoning Li Zhaode, and seemed to have plans to use him again. He was stunned for a moment and did not respond in time.

Seeing Liu Youqiu's expression like this, Li Tong couldn't help laughing: "But as a member of the Tang family, there is no defense against the old and the new. Always cherish the thought of being loyal to the monarch and the country, so you will not panic for a long time. Let's watch the person, and then discuss the future. "

Since he inherited the great position, he has not received much acceptance of the original court officials. Even if he was appointed, they were all those who stood in line early in the process of his rise.Even people like Wei Yuanzhong who missed each other and didn't have any positive conflicts can use it or not.

But Li Zhaode is a bit special. When Xiang Wang was in power, Li Zhaode was the first minister in the court. Although he was deposed soon, the traces left on his body were still very obvious.Whether it is used or not for people, it also has a great symbolic influence on the morals of the world.

If Li Zhaode had stayed in the court when he came to power three years ago, Li Tong would naturally not use him, and might even kill him out of political considerations.

However, Li Zhaode was far away in Lingnan at that time, and there was no chance for the monarch and his ministers to face each other face to face, so direct conflicts were avoided.Now that Li Tong thinks of Li Zhaode again, in addition to selecting talents according to the situation, he also hopes that the political situation of the imperial court can be improved because of this, so that he will no longer be obsessed with old things.

This time he played martial arts in Lishan, in addition to proclaiming his power in China, he also laid the groundwork and preparations for the next military operation, and carried out a profound intervention in Tubo that he had planned three years ago but has been forbearing to this day.

I don’t know how long this confrontation with Tubo will last. Next, the strength of the characters in the country must be tilted as a whole. Therefore, the restoration of a relaxed and harmonious political atmosphere in the country is also a necessary prerequisite.

As one of the most distinctive representatives of the old dynasty, Li Zhaode was able to be reappointed and find his own position in the new Kaiyuan dynasty. This is undoubtedly an extremely positive direction for the general trend of the times.

As for whether the activation of Li Zhaode will cause some old forces to revive, there is no need to be too cautious.If the monarchs and ministers have worked hard to recuperate for several years, but still cannot withstand the impact of some evil intentions and soul-calling plots, then these years will be considered in vain.

Big deal, Xu Junchen, the chief manager of the cafeteria, will go to Dali Temple to work again.For the sake of these hidden dangers, there is no point in obstructing the way of other wise men from the field to donate their talents for the country.

Chapter 0850 Zhaozai's heir, rope his ancestors

In the early morning, the rising sun shone down on the earth, and the entire Lishan Mountain was covered with a layer of golden brilliance.Standing on the top of Lishan Mountain and looking down, the picture is even more magnificent.

Although the Lishan Mountain is not high, but because it is located in the east of the Guanzhong Plain washed out by the Wei River, the peak rises on the flat ground, which makes this mountain tall and straight, with a majestic momentum. The original Chang'an City faced each other from a distance.

At this time, the fields around Lishan Mountain were occupied by the army camps everywhere, and the banners erected inside and outside the camp even surpassed the forest trees on Lishan Mountain, hunting and ringing in the morning breeze.

The Tang army camp at the foot of the mountain is mainly divided into six areas. It is located on both sides of the imperial road to climb the mountain, and there is a camp on the left and right.

The soldiers in these two camps are the central imperial guards who are now guarding Chang'an in Gyeonggi Province and the palace defense of Suwei Da Nei.In addition to these two big camps, there are four other big camps set up in four directions, which are the troops from other prefectures and border guards entering Beijing to perform martial arts.

Right now, the martial arts performance has not yet officially started, and the soldiers are all staying in their respective camps. The scene has not yet become lively, but the immovable army is also flooding the world, and there are few wild animals wandering in the fields. There were no traces of birds in the sky.

"Reporting to the sage, the internal and external armies participating in the ceremony have all gathered in the camp, and we only need to wait for the edict to be announced before we can start performing martial arts!"

After summarizing and counting the military records of all the battalions below the mountain, Liu Youqiu went to the palace to perform his duties again.

At this time, Li Tong had already changed into a suit of light bright armor and sat upright in the Chaoyuan Pavilion. After receiving it, the envoy briefly looked through the various military books handed over, and then raised his pen to lightly mark it, and nodded slightly. :"Can."

"The holy decree announces the ceremony, and the internal and external armies are out of the camp to stand by!"

After the Zhongguan heard the words, he announced the edict in the hall, and with the sound of the words, the military drums erected on the top of Lishan Mountain rang loudly. There was a resounding shout: "Here!"

Tens of thousands of people gathered together and heard it directly from the foot of the mountain to the hall. Even the curtain in the hall was shaken by the sound, which showed the strength of the army.

Hearing the magnificent response from the crowd, Li Tong couldn't help feeling overwhelmed for a moment, he stood up from the table, looked at the accompanying people in the hall and said with a smile: "Your honorable guests and all the long-time guests, would you like to accompany me?" Let’s go together, let’s join the battle and watch my Tang family’s heroic appearance together?”

This time Lishan performed martial arts, there were nearly a hundred nobles and ministers from the court, and hundreds of envoys from the courts of the states, but most of them stayed in the camp at the foot of the mountain, and only a few people accompanied the court. Yuan Pavilion.The reason is also very simple, the Taoist official Chaoyuan Pavilion really can't accommodate so many people.

In addition to the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, dozens of people from the various borders, including the chiefs of the barbarians, were also present.Leaving aside some obscure and inconspicuous Tibetan tribes, envoys even arrived from Tubo, whom Li Tong originally intended to refer to.

Naturally, the Tang officials would not have any objections to the saint's words, and the chiefs of the tribes all hurriedly stood up to respond after hearing the words.Regardless of their respective strengths and their relationship with Datang, they are also full of curiosity about the current strength of Datang's army.

So a group of people surrounded His Majesty the Emperor and walked out of the Chaoyuan Pavilion. On the wide official road, the inner guards had already lined up here, attracting royal horses for the saint to ride down the mountain.

At this time, the big camps around Lishan Mountain were already beating and thundering, causing the flags to fly away, and the soldiers were busy lining up their troops, waiting for the saint to come to inspect.Although there is still a certain distance between each other at this moment, the various voices of the mobilization of the armies still gather together to form an almost substantive sense of oppression. Many Hu chieftains and Fan envoys are walking on the mountain road, and their faces have become a little dizzy. white.

Soon, Emperor Yijia arrived at the foot of Mount Li.The Great Second Imperial Army has already been set up here, and the front banner of the Imperial Army stands high and surrounded by the high podium, and outside the podium, the armies of various roads have already piled up to the front. Four fields spread out.

When Li Tong came here, he got off his horse and stepped onto the stage slowly. From the high platform, he looked around as far as he could see.To be honest, it was also the first time he saw a picture of more than 20 people gathered in one place. From here, the martial arts platform extended to the four fields, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stood in line for more than tens of miles. Xiao!

Rao Li Tong was used to big scenes, but the magnificent scene in front of him still shocked him even more. Even his arms trembled slightly with excitement, but he clenched his fist with one hand and held his saber vigorously with the other.

At this time, in front of the martial arts platform, the generals of the army came one after another on horseback, and reported that the whole army had been completed.

The abundance of martial arts performers this time is rare since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the entire dispatching and commanding system is also extremely large.In terms of the organization of the army, the Central Forbidden Army is also different from the foreign army.

The Sixth Battalion of Internal Guards in front of the palace has only a little over 1 people, and this time there are only [-] people participating in the martial arts performance. Each battalion is in charge of [-] people, and the candidates are all elite and brave.

The Beijing Camp Command Division has more troops, reaching 12 people, and 3000 people form an army. A total of nearly [-] troops participated in this martial arts exercise.

The rest are the frontier troops such as the Tuanlian of Zhuzhou and the Duhufu and Dudufu on each side. With 1 people as an army, each will send a general and two deputy generals to supervise its army.People from all sides entered Beijing to participate in the ceremony, a total of 500 people, divided into eight armies.

In addition to the internal and external troops of the Tang Dynasty, there were also the Hu tribes of the Fans and the armies of the border cities. A total of more than [-] Hu soldiers participated in the martial arts performance.

As for the ministers in charge of proclamation and dispatch, Prime Minister Liu Youqiu was the envoy to observe the ceremonies; Branch manager.

In addition to the envoys, general managers and saints standing side by side on the stage, there are hundreds of domestic and foreign civil and military officials in charge of battalion and military affairs to ensure that the entire martial arts performance can be carried out in an orderly and smooth manner.

In such a grand and vast scene, Li Tong is of course not good at standing on the stage and cheering, not to mention whether the soldiers can hear it. As an emperor, standing on the stage blushing and howling with thick neck, this picture is really Not dignified enough.
