Chapter 714: The Soldiers Don't Use 9

In the name of the Supreme Almighty Heaven, and the son of destiny who is favored by all gods, the authorization of Emperor Seris, the supreme ruler of the East (I am honored by the blessing of Haotian):

The most favored teacher and close friend of the Supreme Emperor of the Cyris Empire; the closest inner minister and sister-in-law, the chief of the Imperial Guard (General Guard), the commander of the Central Military Region (Inner Privy Councilor), the court supervisor (Three Palaces Select Envoy), the left minister of royal affairs (Zongzheng Left Chief), the guiding minister in the field of diplomacy and education (Secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple), the member of the former Imperial Council and deputy prime minister (Records the Secretary of the Shangshu), the Advisor of Military and National Policy (General Gangshu), the Minister of Education (Civil Zhanshifu),

The chief minister of all overseas territories, colonies, and vassal regimes (the magistrate of the Sifangyuan, the magistrate of the Nanhai Governor's Office), and the grand duke of dozens of military and civilians in the two major territories of Hainan and Yizhou (the magistrate of Yingzhou),...

The land of Sogdia is inspected and planned, punished disrespect and rewarded merits, and has the highest full power to deal with all people and affairs of this land (the virtues are respected, the meritorious are of great rank, and those who admire externally and internally transform will be subject to the heaven and the time, and will be given the right to be clear to all people and affairs in this land).

The pronunciation sounds loudly, resounding in front of every intersection and town where business travels gather, and repeats it in multiple languages.

Each title makes people tremble all over. In their entire lives, these people have seen such great figures as close to the clouds in the sky. The Marshal of the Western Legion of Seris who had passed by before was enough to make most of the most powerful figures in Sogdia (in the river) humbly lower their noble heads and tremble for a long time.

Then he followed the ancient and modern times and then came to the topic, claiming that this extremely noble man re-planned titles and titles in this territory with the rights granted by the emperor to formulate a new class system.

In order to adapt to this need, all local lords or urban nobles with the title of Dehgan must send their respective heirs, bring family warriors, serve the tent and follow the great achievements.

"This is a good thing,..."

People who knew some inside stories were immediately excited.

As the emperor's teacher and the crown prince's commander, the entourage around the adults was originally filled with children sent by the powerful and nobles from various vassal countries to train in. This kind of close-up internship status often represents a great future in the future whether it is returning to China or staying in the country.

The two more outstanding ones are now in Central Asia, and they are all famous figures.

The first one was the General of the Rest of Rest, and the consul of the Tabery, Aldashir, Li Siyuan, who now owns the three ancient Persian provinces around Caucasus, and is seeking the Azerbaijan and Iberis areas outside the Caucasus Mountains. The predecessor of Tabery was the Gilan vassal state of the ancient Persian Empire and was also the fief of the Persian royal family Bachlan. Therefore, some people seek to promote him the title of Gilansha and Bachlan.

The other one is Aslen and Xue Yu, the king of Ningyuan, who is a little less prominent and is the leader of the vassals in the west of the Ling, and is also the largest country in the east of the River (Sir). With the support of the Selis army, not only regained the throne that was overturned, but also defeated the Sibana Khan, supported by the Arabs, fully occupied the most prosperous and fertile Fergana area, and further possessed territory in Tochar and northern India.

As prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, some people are discussing the subsequent impact of this decree.

"These Fanhu leaders in the Hezhong River, Xinshun, rebelled and returned soon. I believe that there will not be many people who sincerely offer their descendants to accompany them, and do more things to replace them..."

"If they all think so, it's not for a good thing."

"Good thing, what did you say..."

"The army's power is sweeping down. At that time, I'm afraid it's not true, but it will become true. If you dare to renege and refuse to admit it later, it is to deceive the heavenly dynasty, and you can destroy the great righteousness and reward your relatives with your relatives."

"Although there may be repeated twists and turns, it will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty's deeper domination of this land."

When the Seris brought their army into Sogdia again, they sacrificed their hostages and family members.

Without having to do it myself, those Dehgan, who recruited and brought their own food and weapons, would rush to do it for him and gain plunder and population through robbery in war under the banner of the Cyris Empire, because the Cyris only had land and property on it.

Just like the first to become a victim, the disintegration of the Great DeHgan Unett family was unable to resist the thunder after losing most of the soldiers. After the remaining members of the surrendered family were pardoned, they were exiled to the distant India with their only wealth.

The Cialis took away three larger cities in the territory near the main road, and the rights to garrison and collect taxes. The rest were divided into several parts according to the villages, and paid to those who helped the Cialis to pacify the place and contributed the most.

In addition, they also promoted the warriors to the new little Dehegan, and forced some dehegans who were not active enough to divide and replace their territory. If they did not follow the resistance, they would also become the new spoils for the obedient ones.

"A Brief History of Central Asia. Gradual Process of the Sogdian Nation"

............

After passing through the Faravaz River Basin for more than 200 miles, you enter the basin of the Zelavshang River, another large water system.

This is Samarkand. I looked at the city surrounded by wide walls on the lower reaches of the Zelavshang River in front of me. The front of each city is also a small town next to each other, densely clustered together, and two walls of one height and one short are divided into inner and outer walls.

The city is surrounded by tung trees, willows, apple trees and grapes, which separate plantations and fields. On the grassland further outside the city, there are herds of cattle and horses. The city also produces wine, sausage, sweet rosin, asana, sausage, sausage, sausage, sausage, brocade, and sausage.

But from the perspective of geography and construction pattern, this is obviously not a big city suitable for danger and persistence. The developed water and land transportation makes it susceptible to attacks from all directions.

After countless wars and reconstructions in later generations, Samarkand, which stood in modernization, was different from a very well-preserved ancient city. Before it was completely destroyed by Genghis Khan in later generations, the history of the city building can almost be traced back to the same period as the ancient cities of Athens, Rome, and Babylon.

As an important hub on the mainland highway bridge, almost every migrating and transiting nation will leave its own unique imprint here, from the ancient Persians, Greeks to the Kushans, Huns, Turks in the East, and now it is the Tang people's turn. I just don't know how long this imprint will exist, or will become an indelible element as time goes by.

Therefore, the city is now called Kangju City. In short, it is the Anju City in Kangguo. Although it has not been occupied for too long, the arrow towers and watchtowers on the city walls with black tiles and green ridges covered with flying eaves and arches are so friendly.

This city also leads the twelve towns (counties) along the riverside of the Samarkand region, forty-one large and small towns, and nearly 570,000 people.

Through a pontoon bridge as a link, there is Kangcheng, which is much smaller in scale and has a much taller and thicker wall on the other side of the river. It is also the capital of Kangzhou, the largest state in the river. It leads the hometown of Dong'an Kingdom and Biguo.

In ancient times, Samarkand means "fertile land". The Zelavshang Valley where it is located gathers the richest and most prosperous towns on the Great Plain of Sogdia.

The cities and towns that have emerged continuously and densely, densely populated villages and fields, developed water conservancy irrigation facilities, and staging storehouses and markets. The so-called five miles and one town, twenty miles and one city, and one county, are everywhere here.

But what impressed the most was how much these people in the river liked to build castles. They almost reached the peak in the land of Nanmizhou where the Old Shi Kingdom was located, and they could encounter more than a dozen in almost a day. Although most of them were small and simple according to the standards of domestic military city blockages, it can also be seen how frequent and common the competition in this area is.

In "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty", Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty wrote: "The king was brave and brave, and his neighbors received his orders. The soldiers and horses of Zhejie were strong. The people of Zhejie were brave and fierce, and they treated death as if they were in front of the war." Therefore, as the former Sogdian province of the Persian Empire, this was also a few places where Alexander the Great of Macedonia's expedition to the east and suffered defeat.

Fortunately, due to the religious and ethnic groups in history, the land has a large population and a strong custom. However, before there is enough power to unite it, it is always a mess. The so-called royal families of the countries in the river are more like co-spokes of local aristocratic lords, elected to be responsible for foreign negotiations and military coordination, and they are also divided into more than a dozen large groups, according to geopolitical changes, and the major powers behind the scenes take sides and reshuffle them again and again.

The frequent migration of various ethnic groups makes it difficult for this land to be in a long-term and relatively stable situation, which also makes it difficult for virtues such as loyalty and trust in the traditional sense to exist stably for a certain period of time. Only long-term power and strength can ensure that they maintain sufficient obedience.

The local government was headed by the defensive envoy and organized a grand welcoming ceremony, with sand and fragrance tables along the streets, singing and dancing, welcoming the Celestial Kings who came from afar.

The defensive envoy of Kangzhou was an old man from the Longwu Army. The Jinwulang general Cheng Wu, who retreated to the rear due to injuries, and the deputy envoy was the Guoyi Duwei and the regiment training envoy who was from martial arts. This strange combination of heights was also caused by the lack of personnel in all aspects.

During the brief meeting, the other party told me with a bitter smile, if it was the Heavenly Kingdom

This kind of fanfare way of greeting is not only for me to show, but also for the local subjects and people who have not yet stirred up. Due to the chaos in the local area and the need for suppression, the subordinates of the Kangzhou Defense Envoy were actually so embarrassed that they could not even get together in a regular military camp. They all rely on some united soldiers on the second and third lines, and the rural soldiers were maintaining the scene.

Before the turbulent hearts have become real events, we can only rely on some real and virtual means to motivate and expand the illusion of sufficient military existence to maintain the situation in the short term and look forward to the improvement of the frontline situation.

Therefore, among those naturalized people, whose hair and skin tones are slightly black, they are required to pick up weapons and wear armor and participate in the duty of the city wall in batches. Anyway, under the military martial law, the locals cannot see clearly from afar. The elderly, weak, women and children behind them are placed overnight into the military camp. On the one hand, they are to prevent the situation from worsening and make these soldiers, soldiers and civilians feel a little relieved, and on the other hand, they are to have a sense of buzzing presence.

In order to present this scene, almost even the local Tang people and the young and middle-aged people in the naturalized world have mobilized them.

Our arrival quickly stabilized the local situation, leaving behind more than 10,000 new immigrants, mainly young and middle-aged, enough for them to form more than a dozen regiments to serve as united soldiers for basic public security.

I did not stay for a long time, but after I issued the indicators to collect civilians and food and grass, I continued to set out. The military situation was as urgent as it was, and I read the news that I had approached the front line. The more clear the news that the Lingxi Travel Taiwan had been defeated, some of the captured deserters had confirmed that the number of them belonged to was more and more, including some of them that were better than the regular army.

.............

In Anji Town, in the besieged stronghold, the Ambra family was also waiting for their own destiny. His wife held three young children and whispered to cry for her unpredictable destiny, while praying to Ahura.

An was given a surname from the master. He was sent to take charge of labor and assisted the projects organized by the Cialis. During his work, he was appreciated by the Sialis managers because of his obedience and certain suggestions for improving efficiency. He then stayed in the village of the Cialis in the name of conscripts by power. After using materials to pay some symbolic compensation to the original owner's family, he brought the whole family over.

Here, there are more than a dozen families with the same fate as him. Slaves like him are also very important property in the master's house. After they arrived at the camp of the Cialis, they also received the value of shelter. The little vassals did not have enough strength and courage to compete with the Cialis who had conquered this land.

Therefore, he gained his identity and career, and could support his family more calmly, and pay for his redeem in his lifetime.

But overnight, the wind seemed to change. They were told that they were no longer allowed to go out, and then they were asked to stay at home. Then, representatives from foreign negotiations visited them secretly many times, and then appeared in the military village openly with armed forces and demanded to hand over them. The family of the taken-in-place slaves was rejected again and began to besiege here.

As time went by, the besieged people became increasingly lacking in patience, and various provocations and temptations were becoming more and more frequent, with no problem with water or food, but behind the closed city walls, different voices appeared, such as handing over these newly stored naturalized families to temporarily overcome difficulties, or why they, the authentic Tang people, had to let the bloody objections of the very few new vassal families who had just been resigned, began to become more and more frequent.

There was unfavorable news outside, and the support and imperial edicts from the city of the city were not seen for a long time, so it gave rise to the illusion that the city of the city had no time to take care of themselves and they had been forgotten among these Fanhus.

However, as the local chief officer and a general of a B-class town, he had his own honor and persistence. As a Tang soldier, his pride and self-esteem made him intuitively unable to easily surrender to the hands of the show and the Fanhu, otherwise he would be more difficult to deal with if he was seen to be weak and he could persist in this confrontation.

Finally, with the noise of the voices, the shack of Ambra's family was pushed away. Obviously, the final moment that determined their fate had arrived. He stood in front of his wife and daughter sadly, and asked them to kneel down, begging these people for a last bit of mercy, just hand over himself, and maybe they could leave their wives and children here.

As women, the torture and punishment they expected were probably more terrifying than men. Although his former owner was not famous for his tyranny in the local real estate owner, as an ancient local tradition, severe punishment for fleeing vassals and slaves was not possible at all. This kind of common interest protected and maintained by the entire social class, dungeons and torture houses are essential facilities for every manor castle.

At the same time, outside Anji Town, more soldiers dressed in the river appeared. With a sound of a sound, they began to attack the besieged armed personnel. Soon, more than a dozen leaders and leaders led the team were mostly caught on the spot and hung on the fruit trees beside the road.

............

As the news of the approaching army came, and a new wave of escape from east to west caused a wave of waves like a stone. As another major city, a group of people in Bukhara City fell into a bleak cloud again, including members of the former Humat family.

The arrival of the Seris did not bring them enough benefits as expected. Compared with the Tang people's ease and efficient governance methods, they found that the price and effort they paid to plunder the subjects under their rule had become more expensive.

Compared with the urban aristocrats who received some kind of compensation in commercial activities, the most damaged ones were the land aristocrats in the traditional sense. They had large fertile fields and villages, their own workshops and water conservancy irrigation facilities, and provided and maintained a relatively luxurious and abundant life for them with the work of thousands of vassals.

Even during the most cruel period of Arab rule, they could maintain a decent standard of living and pass on this burden layer by layer to overcome difficulties. As long as they could pay enough taxes, even Arabs would respect their traditions.

The arrival of the Cyris people is different. Although they rarely interfere in the affairs of these land owners, they have created urban areas and villages with Cyris characteristics through immigration construction and transformation.

After sending out the population to bear corvee, and after seeing the rule and lifestyle of the Seris, many people were unwilling to return to their original lords, but stayed as a candidate for naturalized population.

In addition, when traveling to the west of the Lingtai, thousands of warriors were recruited and a large number of spoils and slaves were brought back, but these people often broke away from their own control and became a group of new real estate owners supported by the Tang people.

Especially the slaves and serfs who have been inherited from generation to generation, and even the poor began to spontaneously flee to the military farms established by the Seris, begging to become vassals. After the negotiations failed, the driving force of this centrifugal became even more obvious.

These reasons brought together the nobles whose interests were damaged, and gathered weapons and supplies in the territory on the grounds of preparing for war, and trained slaves and vassals on the call of members of the Tugshhada family, who were of the lineage Humat (the vassal king).

Because these survivors of the Tugshhada family, after their initial joy and expectation, discovered that the new sect leader and rulers did not intend to restore their throne or sovereignty, but separated the young "Humat" alone on the rank of adoption as a nominal symbol, and raised high with the title of King Qinhua as an important part of diplomatic and public rituals.

However, due to the existence of the Seris garrison, they did nothing for the time being, but the failure of the Khorasan area was to be worn out, and the garrison who were transferred away to fill the front line immediately made their dissatisfaction and desires fermented and expanded quickly like mushrooms under the rain.

Since Bukhara City can change hands once under the strict supervision of the Arab Governor, it can change hands more times, but after only being happy with expectations and waiting for less than a month, reality poured a pot of cold water on them.

The Seris sent a hundred thousand troops at once, which was a hundred thousand troops from the country of Seris. Even if it crossed the Amu River and conquered Sogdia, the Arab Quppodites (Gu Taibai) that crossed the Amu River, it was only 30,000 troops, and half of them were the soldiers of those vassal states.

What does this mean for 100,000 professional soldiers? Even in the prosperous era, all the warriors under Dehgan on this land are far less than this number.

When they were all arranged on the battlefield, it was a terrifying and desperate existence.
