217 Anlu Mountain of Niubi
No one would think that a person who wins repeatedly and is a grassroots man who is unified in the Western Regions is a military amateur, which is an insult to his IQ!
In the Western Regions and even the Tufan Kingdom, many people have compared Richard with a generation of famous generals such as An Lushan. Richard's brilliant record is naturally recognized.
Only Richard and the system ministers he recruited knew in his heart that Richard could win all the way by the soldiers in the system who were fearless and fierce enough to fight!
If it is true to be smart, Richard can only be considered an average level, and is a distance from famous generals...
It is precisely because of this self-knowledge that Richard was vigilant from the heart of the million-skinned army that even An Lushan could not solve.
If possible, Richard was willing to choose to push it, but the Tufan Kingdom, which looked very poor, attacked.
However, as the Minister of Finance Zhang Juzheng and Minister of the 6th Army Qi Jiguang analyzed, it is easy to take down the Tufan Kingdom, but it is difficult to govern the Tufan Kingdom. If you accidentally pull the Western Regions into the abyss of financial losses.
Everyone knows how harmful the long-term fiscal deficit of the government is to a regime!
It can be said that what you can get after the Tufan Kingdom Richard is that it looks better on the map. There is an extra ruling area on the Imperial Age panel in the system, as well as a group of vicious Tufan guerrillas...
As for resources and population, you can basically not think about it within ten years...
Among the suggestions of the cabinet ministers, the best way for the Ming Dynasty was to support the weak side in the Tufan civil war, so that the civil war between the Tufan people would continue. It would be better that the Tufan people would die, and the Ming Dynasty's royal army could go in without any pressure to plant the flag...
With less population, there will naturally be fewer young and strong people who rebel, and the management costs will also be greatly reduced. There will be no need for many garrison troops to maintain public order!
As for output...
Well, the Ming Cabinet never thought about what output the Tufan Kingdom could have now!
Originally, the Tufan Kingdom was not annexed by the Tang Dynasty because of its poverty. It obviously lost a lot of young and strong people due to its expedition to the Western Regions. In the end, it fell into a civil war and continued to lose the number of young and strong people. Cabinet officials really couldn't think of what benefits the Tufan Kingdom could bring to the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps it was because Songtsen Gampo saw this that he dared to suppress political enemies without any scruples...
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. It is probably in this state. No matter how poor the spit is, it is still no problem for Songtsen Gampo to slap a three-foot-high army to support a half-army and half-bandit army to suppress the tribal rebellion.
Unfortunately, Songtsen Gampo's practice of killing unpardoned rebel tribes with the defeated rebels caused dissatisfaction among those neutral tribes. The more Songtsen Gampo beat the opponents, the more...
It is easy to prove the truth by killing, but you must first have enough strength. If Songzan Gampo makes a powerful plug-in like Richard, it is naturally the right way to prove the truth by killing. Unfortunately, Songzan Gampo does not have that strength. As a result, everyone's own danger Tufan tribes rose up one after another, trying to overthrow Songzan Gampo's dictatorship.
It is precisely because of this situation that the rebels of the Tufan tribe were not completely suppressed by Songtsen Gampo despite repeated defeats.
"Your Majesty, I have a secret matter to report."
Qi Jiguang suddenly said to Richard.
After hearing this, Richard understood it instantly and sent out all the cabinet ministers and servants who were not from the system in the room, leaving only the five cabinet ministers from the system.
"Now there are no outsiders, let's talk." Richard said calmly.
"King, green-skinned is a trouble for An Lushan, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Even if the green-skinned orcs are organized, they cannot form a real army with their discipline. As long as we arrange such opponents properly, they can be annihilated on a large scale.
For the indigenous humans in this world, no matter how many green skins are killed, they will not be of any benefit. At most, they will get a bunch of broken copper and iron back to the furnace. But for the king, ten thousand green skins will also earn at least 1yiyiyi lucky coins.
At that time, we can continuously annihilate large stocks of green skin at a very small cost, and use green skin as a long-term and stable source of income for fortune coins.
In time, the king will surely gather more senior soldiers to conquer the entire East Asia Great Six!
Moreover, now the King has free Western Regions Legion, which has been replenished with free damage, will not suffer much loss even if there are any losses in the war with Green Skin.
As for the auxiliary army and field legions, they can control the new Yan State territory and guard the border to defend against human forces in the east and south.
In the past, if we wanted to annihilate the large number of green skins, we had to find their nest tribes first, but now there are a large number of green skins coming south to send people to their heads, so this opportunity cannot be missed."
After hearing this, Richard pondered for a moment, nodded heavily and said, "You are right. It is not good for us to maintain so many troops in the Western Regions to waste so much time. We need more territory and population to support the army.
The green-skinned army can also be used as our training ground."
After the autumn harvest in the 6th year of the Ming Dynasty, Richard ordered a hundred thousand indigenous army, and together with the Western Regions Legion and his own Taoist soldiers, they swore to go to war!
The goal of the battle was An Lushan’s Dayan!
At this time, it was the peak of An Lushan's power. Originally, An Lushan's power was in the area of Henan and Hebei, and the prefecture was later Beijing. Later, it expanded and occupied Luoyang troops under Chang'an City, joined forces with the Beiting Protectorate, and captured one-third of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Almost all northern East Asia was ruled by An Lushan.
However, because of this, the green-skinned army heading south hit An Lushan’s chest...
An Lushan's territory is equivalent to opening up a natural northern barrier for the Tang Dynasty...
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty's national power declined at this time and was besieged several times. The prestige of the Tang Dynasty royal family had already reached a freezing point. The southern governors all relied on their own and refused to obey the central government's orders. The coastal areas were also ready to fight against An Lushan's troops and only wanted to protect themselves.
The peninsula area in Southeast Asia, which was originally ruled by the Tang Dynasty, even announced that it had broken away from the Tang Dynasty's rule. Several Southeast Asian military governors and warlords joined forces to establish the Kingdom of South Vietnam.
However, none of these Southeast Asian warlords believed in each other. They originally joined forces just to avoid the revenge of the Tang Dynasty and gather together to keep warm. Later, it was revealed that the Tang Empire was almost over, so the civil war mode was started...
The Kingdom of South Vietnam was also in name only. Several warlords began to fight against each other in the name of the orthodox South Vietnam, and used their fists to decide the ownership of the Southeast Asian Peninsula.
Now the actual control area of the Tang Dynasty royal family is not even as good as An Lushan's territory. An Lushan in this other world is really powerful...
However, it is precisely because of An Lushan's strength that the independent southern governors dare not really stab the Tang Dynasty in the back, fearing that they would lose this barrier that resists An Lushan.
