Broken Leaf City.

The princes from the Yili Valley and the Shattered Yechuan brought a large group of enfeoffed knights into the city.

Crown Prince Jiawen sat on the dock stage. On the left was King Yili Luo Siye, and on the right were the Beiting Road Military Advisor and the left governor, Yili Prefect Niu Jinda, and the right governor and the right governor and the prefect Guo Xiaoke.

"Shangzhu Kingdom, Knight Zhao Shouzhong, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Shouzhong, the soldier king from Suiyechuan, took the lead in visiting the crown prince.

Jiawen raised his hand, "The knights were not given a favor and were given a seat."

Seeing these enfeoffed knights who took root in the Western Regions, the prince felt very friendly.

Since the emperor founded the title of knight, the Qin Dynasty has awarded countless knights. Each of these knights is a veteran with experience in a hundred battles. They are basically ranks of sergeants, or special sergeants.

In the current military system of the Qin Dynasty, the system of separation of soldiers and generals has become more and more mature, and training and command have been separated. Among the three military yamen, middle and senior generals are responsible for command, but in the absence of war, they do not directly command and train soldiers. They stay in the guards of the three military yamen, and are only responsible for studying the tactics of war, and teaching tactics of war in the Yulin Palace and the martial arts hall.

The officers who directly command the guards of the three yamen are usually middle and lower-level officers such as battalion commanders based on battalions.

Those responsible for military training are sergeants at all levels, while those who lead troops at the grassroots level are all non-commissioned officers.

Sergeants and chiefs at all levels serve as chiefs of staff and staff positions in the battalions, capitals and teams, and are responsible for training. The deputy team, fire chief, fire deputy, etc. below the team head are all served by non-commissioned officers at all levels, and they are responsible for leading and practicing.

It is precisely under this change that the current military system of the Three Yayas of Daqin attaches great importance to the sergeant commanders and non-commissioned officers responsible for training and leading troops. These people are the backbone of the army and the officers are the minds of the officers.

Although many soldiers from ordinary backgrounds are brave and have made many contributions, they are limited to less education and are difficult to be promoted to command officers, so they switched to the sergeant's route and became full-time soldiers and trainers.

In order to make up for their inability to take up the position of officer command and be promoted, the emperor left them with a special position of magistrate and awarded these outstanding magistrates the rank of knights.

Sergeant chiefs and non-commissioned officers who have obtained the rank of knight will receive the Knight Yongye Field and will receive the war horses, armor, shields, bows, swords and spears awarded by the court. They are equivalent to advanced mansion soldiers, with more sophisticated and more well-trained.

Farming during farming and training soldiers in their spare time.

Once war is called, they will be the lower-level officers and officers of the army.

Especially in border areas such as the Western Regions, these knights were the most reliable and loyal force of the imperial court.

The imperial court had more than 3,000 knights in the Yili Valley in Beiting alone, which means that the imperial court could lead more than 3,000 grassroots non-commissioned officers at any time and quickly formed a ten-fold army.

In Suyechuan, although the imperial control is not as good as Yili, he still has many knights here. Each of them has a Yongyetian as a knight manor. Not only are they excellent veterans of the war, but they also have privileges. They can select young and outstanding people from the family as their knight attendants. When fighting, they can be given permission to take them to the battlefield. If they have made merits, they will be rewarded like the soldiers of the Weifu camp.

A knight can have a complete set of knight equipment, including war horses and armor, plus two sets of spare equipment, which can be used as backup or for attendants. Their equipment does not need to be stored in the military camp armory like ordinary soldiers.

Zhao Shouzhong is a soldier king with a military honor on the top of the pillar. Because of his bravery but illiterate combat, he eventually became a knight. Now he is a battalion chief of staff, responsible for the daily training of the first battalion and other matters.

He was tall and burly, with a layer of rope armor on his body, a horizontal knife on his waist, a war hammer on his back, a left bow and the right arrow, and a face shield. A spear was even more ferocious.

When I walked, my whole body made a clanging sound.

"Give it a seat to the upper pillar country!"

The prince attached great importance to the cavalry of the Shangzhu Kingdom, who had hundreds of head-level military achievements under his name, according to Niu Jinda.

"Thank you, Prince!"

Zhao Shouzhong thanked him.

Luo Siye smiled and said to the prince, "After the order of Your Highness, the two marquises and knights from Anxi, north and south of Tianshan Mountain, from Beiting, have arrived one after another. To this day, more than 5,000 knights and more than 300 marquises have been gathered inside and outside the Saiye City."

Jiawen was also very excited.

These five thousand knights alone are a powerful force, which is a great guarantee for what they want to do.

"This is all thanks to the power of the saints!"

"Has He Lushi arrived yet?" Niu Jinda was a little dissatisfied. "When He Lushi received the prince's call, he delayed it left and right, is it a courtesy of a minister?"

Jiawen smiled and said, "Mengchi Hou Helushi is far away in Henglus City, which is very far away from here. It is normal that he has not arrived for a while."

The Tuqi Shi tribe, which is known as 300,000, is the leader of Helushi. When the Western Turkic Khan was the Khan, he was one of the five continents, also known as Helushi Chu.

Later, the Shekui was defeated and went away to the banks of the Volga River. He rushed to the Qin Dynasty. He was granted the title of Marquis of Mengchi by the emperor and appointed as the prefect of Mengchi County.

Before He Lushi arrived, the leaders of the two major branches under Tuqishi naturally did not come either. The two leaders were also granted the title of marquis by the court and served as prefect.

"I followed the emperor's order and visited the emperor to visit the emperor, and went to the Taixi to join Persia and the Roman Emperors, mediated the two countries and concluded the three emperors' alliance. When I passed through the Western Regions, I was very happy to see the prosperous scene of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Now I summoned the princes and knights, which meant to lead you to the Caucasus and show the power of our Great Qin before Persia and Rome!"

This is the public reason to gather the princes and knights.

It is also the smoke that confuses the chasing people.

Then, Prince Jiawen gave the knight representative Zhao Shouzhong and others armor and swords, and rewarded the other knights and their servants who received the orders with wine and meat.

night.

The prince invited the princes to a banquet, and the table was all his own people.

Niu Jinda, representing the prince, began to blow the wind.

In and out of the words, they were all dissatisfied with Tuqishi.

The members of the marquis who participated in the meeting were all meritorious in all kinds of battles. They knew the elegance when they heard the string songs. When they heard this, they were all excited.

In fact, they were not satisfied with Tuqishi. After the destruction of Shunishi and Kucha, there were Tuqishi and Shule, and the three kingdoms of Khotan were still strong.

Especially this Tuqishi, they were Turks of different surnames and were also one of the ten Turkic tribes of the past. Tuqishi even inherited the vacancy left by the Western Turkic. Although they were not called Khan, they actually became the faint leader of the Turkic tribes in the Western Regions.

He Lushi secretly married and formed an alliance with the other two major tribes of the Western Turks, the Chumukun tribe and the Chebishi tribe, and secretly formed a group to fight against the court.

Chumukun and Chebibu are both large tribes with more than 100,000 tribes. Their unity and alliance are indeed not to be underestimated. At least, the total number of Han immigrants in the four Western Regions is less than 500,000, while the three tribes of Tuqi Shi have joined forces, which have exceeded 500,000.

If you have strength, of course you don’t really obey the court’s management.

As the royal representatives of the imperial court in the Western Regions, the interests of the court were naturally connected to the court. They had long regarded these Turks as thorns in their side. If they could conquer and disperse them as soon as possible, they would rest assured. Otherwise, they would always worry that these Turks would suddenly send troops to attack their castle manors and loot their property.
