Arriving at Chiwu Town, Fang Chongyong met the busy Wang Zhongsi.

In his impression, the senior officers in the army were probably playing tricks with their swords when they had nothing to do.

But when he met Wang Zhongsi this time, he found that his father-in-law was... reading documents.

At this moment, in the lobby of the Chishui Army Yamen, there are several people dressed as monks who are translating the Tibetan texts on the table into Chinese.

After they finished translating one piece, Wang Zhongsi read another. The entire lobby turned into a "copying room" and it was so quiet that you could hear the drop of a pin.

"Just take a look."

Wang Zhongsi said to Fang Zhongyong very casually without taking his eyes off the paper in his hand.

As for Dr. Li, who is sitting in a wheelchair, he has not been allowed to enter here at all and is still waiting for an interview outside the Yamen.

"This is……"

Fang Chongyong hesitated for a moment, picked up a piece of paper and examined it, and soon understood the key point.

"The soldiers bravely defeated the enemy and made meritorious deeds, and after verification, the generals must promptly reward them."

"If officers and generals escape on the battlefield, the supervisors will pursue them with all their might. If they are captured, the reward for their bravery will be immediately given according to the regulations."

"If you are trapped by the enemy, send a messenger to the barracks to report for reinforcements. If the general who receives the message does not send reinforcements, you will be punished."

…

This is obviously a series of military laws, but the writing is a little strange, and it is similar to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Chongyong was confused and asked with some confusion: "Is this a translated military law? Could it be a military order from the Tubo people?"

"That's right, Cui Jieshuai defeated a Tibetan army before and captured a complete Tibetan military law. Now the monks who can translate it into Chinese have been found and are now translating these military laws.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger."

Wang Zhongsi laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.

The Tubo people have a history of writing for more than a hundred years, or even further back hundreds of years.

According to legend, Songtsan Gampo, the leader of Tubo, saw that Tubo wanted to develop its economy and it was completely impossible without its own writing, so he sent his minister Tumi Sambuza and 16 other people to study in India (India) to study and become his disciples.

After returning to Tibet, he imitated Sanskrit "Lanza style" and combined it with Tibetan rhymes to create Tibetan regular script fonts. He also created Tibetan cursive script based on "Urdu style".

It is the blueprint of Tubo writing. After a hundred years of development, it has become its own system.

But some people say that what Songtsen Gampo did was just sorting out things, and that Tibet has a written history very early.

But no matter how you put it, this military law of the Tubo people not only shows that the Tibetan army has strict military discipline and clear rewards and punishments.

It also shows that their domestic political and military system construction has become a system of its own, and they are not barbarians who only know how to plunder as outsiders understand.

It can also prove that the Tibetan army was able to compete with the Tang Dynasty in Longyou, Hexi Province, not by chance, nor by relying solely on manpower and bravery!

The Tubo Army was a powerful force that could compete equally with the Tang Army on the battlefield. They were top players at the same military level, far surpassing the Turks, Khitans and other nomads who had been beaten by the Tang Dynasty before.

Niu Xianke's saying, "The only thing that happens in Hexi is Tubo" is indeed a pertinent assessment!

"Let's take a closer look. The Tubo people's military methods also have a lot of merit. It is said that stones from other mountains can attack jade. There is no harm in learning more."

Wang Zhongsi put down the paper in his hand, sorted the scattered papers on the desk in order, handed them to Fang Chongyong, and continued: "I know you have something to do, wait a minute, I still have military affairs to deal with tonight.

It’s never too late.”

After saying that, he walked straight out of the lobby, leaving Fang Chongyong alone here to read the military law of the Tibetan army.

The key to having more soldiers is not to have more soldiers, but to be more refined; the key to generals is not to be brave, but to be strategic.

Wang Zhongsi's idea is very clear. Instead of practicing physical strength mindlessly, it is better to take advantage of the good opportunity to learn more about the "laws" in the art of war.

If people are not restrained by rules, they are like beasts gathering together. If the Qiu Ba, who are armed and strong, are not restrained by military law, how terrible their destructive power is, you can guess it with your toes.

Understanding the military law of the Tubo people is a way to understand the Tubo army's thinking in fighting. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, only foreigners could pick opponents, but the Tang border troops could not pick opponents. Anyone who provoked would be killed, including the Tubo people.

Inside.

So what Wang Zhongsi asked Fang Chongyong to do now is to desperately learn life-saving techniques!

"Keep watching."

Fang Chongyong sighed to himself and said, feeling a little heavy. The shadow of Tubo shrouded the land of Hexi, and he could not be relieved for a moment.

Soon, Fang Chongyong saw regulations that were very different from those in the Tang Dynasty's military law!

"The construction of the castle and the installation of Nangxia must be reported to the royal family members and completed on time."

"If it fails to be completed as scheduled, Chief Nangxia will be punished."

"In the land of Nangxia, there are a large number of livestock such as soldiers and horses. No major disease symptoms have appeared, but through the spread of local minor diseases, serious diseases have appeared. We will find out the cause and sell them.

Xia."

"If the war is tense and the enemy is approaching, and if it is expected that the enemy cannot be resisted, the livestock under Nangxia's management must be driven and protected without being damaged. Whether the crops and houses should be burned or whether they should be kept, etc., must be determined according to the plan."

In such military laws, the organization "Nangxia" was mentioned. In Fang Chongyong's view, it should be a comprehensive logistics organization responsible for building barracks and castles in the Tubo army during the war, and managing property, livestock, and trophies.

As far as Fang Chongyong knows, there is no similar corresponding organization in the local government of the Tang Dynasty, nor in the military. It can be said that this is the unique organizational method of the Tubo people in order to cope with the war.

Seeing this, Fang Chongyong suddenly felt that this trip was not in vain!

The Tubo people's "engineering troops" specialize in logistics, which means they have specialized "combat troops."

This is obviously different from the rumored way in which the Tibetans went to war in a rush, with men, women, old and young all joining the tribe at every turn.

In other words, the other party's level of military specialization is not much worse than that of the Tang Dynasty. In some cases, it is even more adapted to the actual situation on the battlefield, and it is far superior to the Turks, Uighurs, Khitans and other steppe nations.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fang Chongyong began to immerse himself in it. Reading these translated Tibetan military laws, the more he read, the more he felt chills on his back.

"In wartime, soldiers prepare their horses according to the sound of conch trumpets or drums. When facing battles during the day, the herdsmen should tie the war horses in the camp and place them behind the soldiers. At night, the war horses can be untied.

But don’t let it go.”

"If you suspect that you will be raided at night, follow Ruben's orders, choose a dangerous place according to the terrain to hold it, and arrange scouting horses, sentries, etc. The troops and horses should also be tied with stumbling ropes. Patrollers must hold shields and hold bows and arrows.

Put on your armor and prepare for battle."

"Set up camp at night and prepare for battle. If the terrain is narrow, set up two or three lines of fortifications at intervals. At night, build earthen piles at two arrows' distance from the station.

Put up wooden fences and take up good positions.”

One word after another, every word hit Fang Chongyong's heart, making him dare not be careless or miss even a single word.

These military orders have already involved the discrimination and rewards and punishments for escaping on the battlefield, the levels of punishment and rewards, the military law of guarding the camp during night battles, the sentinel investigation system, the management of war horses, etc.!

Some regulations can even be used as military tactics. There are also many things that Fang Zhongyong has never heard of, seen, or even imagined!

It has everything in it! Only the unexpected, nothing unmentioned!

Fang Chongyong's heart suddenly surged with the words "so terrifying", which lingered for a long time.

Looking at the leopard in the cave, it can be seen that the Tubo people have formulated such strict military laws that all behaviors in the battle formation are legal.

How can such an army be easy to deal with!

This is an enhanced version of the bandits that is tightly organized and operates in an orderly manner!

The sky was getting dark, and a sergeant had already lit a torch in the lobby. After a long time, Fang Chongyong stretched out his body and reluctantly put down the translation of the military law drawn up by the Tubo people.

Hexi is too big, the Western Region is too big, Tubo is too powerful, and individual power is too small!

All the rhetoric and arrogance were extinguished by this military law that embodies the essence of the Tibetan military system.

At this moment, Fang Chongyong saw Wang Zhongsi leading Medical Officer Li in. Seeing Fang Chongyong's expression, he knew that the other party must have learned a lot of new things from it.

"Don't be arrogant, and don't belittle yourself. Let's have something to eat together, and then go to the study to talk in detail."

Wang Zhongsi said to Fang Zhongyong with an indifferent expression.

"I understand, father-in-law."

Fang Chongyong saluted respectfully.

"In the Chishui Army, you should call me the Wang Army Envoy. After all, you are also the deputy envoy of the Baiting Army."

Wang Zhongsi rarely teased Fang Chongyong.

"If the Tubo people are so powerful, I, the idle envoy of the Baiting Army, should really be walking on thin ice with fear."

Fang Chongyong said with a helpless smile.

"Just understand, let's go."

Wang Zhongsi was obviously very satisfied with Fang Chongyong's humility and walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Fang Chongyong pushed Dr. Li's wheelchair, ignoring the flattered medical officer, with shock written all over his face. Fang Chongyong took him to Wang Zhongyong.

The study room of Chuji's residence.

…

The food in the army did not taste very good. He was used to eating food cooked by Anaye every day. After this meal, Fang Chongyong felt suspicious of his life. It was hard to imagine how those Qiu Ba people lived day after day.

But since Wang Zhongsi didn't say anything, it was hard for him to start teasing him. After hastily finishing his meal, Medical Officer Li, at Fang Chongyong's signal, took out the clay pot containing the hemostatic pack and handed it to Wang Zhongsi.

"Seal the mouth with fire paint."

Wang Zhongsi picked it up and inspected it, then nodded with satisfaction.
