"What? The Ming Kingdom sent hundreds of 'instructors' into Tufan to train the army for those traitors?"

Songtsen Gampo, who was full of energy in the past year, was confirming to his subordinates with anger.

"Yes, the king, and the Ming army has reached an agreement with some rebel tribes and is invited to step into our country to station and provide military shelter for the rebel tribe's nest..."

"Okay, I get it!"

Songtsen Gampo fell into deep thought after resigning his subordinates.

After the time entered the Ming Dynasty, the civil war in the Tufan Kingdom had actually roughly divided the levels. After all, the regime led by Songtsen Gampo was a team of one team. Even though its overall strength was not as good as the "tribal rebels", after winning over and disagreeing and concentrating superior forces to fight, Songtsen Gampo was not far from establishing a unified and centralized Tufan Kingdom.

The large number of defeated Tufan tribes were driven into the Western Regions, which saved Songtsen Gampo from the trouble of cleaning and accelerated the unification process of the Tufan Kingdom.

After the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty, the remaining tribal rebels in the Tufan Kingdom were tied to one piece and were no match for Songtsen Gampo!

If Songtsen Gampo had not wanted to imitate Richard and establish a centralized system, perhaps the remaining Tufan tribes would have surrendered collectively if they were ordered to continue.

It’s a pity that the leader of the Tufan tribe did not want to end up in a desperate situation. Songtsen Gampo also wanted to use this civil war to clean up all the potential threats. Songtsen Gampo and Richard learned this very thoroughly...

Richard's ability to gain a foothold in the Western Regions is closely related to the cleansing of the civil war between the Western Regions.

The later Seme Uprising in the Western Regions was like a purifier, causing the basic racial conflicts in the Western Regions to disappear...

The concentration camp farm system and the death of war and the large number of Seme people taken away by Lin Dengwan made the grassroots social ranks no longer exist in the Western Regions.

However, just when Songtsen Gampo planned to continue his efforts and completely unify the Tufan Kingdom before the ninth year of the Ming Dynasty, Richard, who had quelled the rebellion of the Western Regions, took action.

If Richard directly sent troops to attack the Tufan Kingdom, Songtsen Gampo, would naturally not be in chaos. At most, he would use the mountains and plateau terrain of the Tufan Kingdom to fight guerrillas with the Ming army. The reason why the Tang Dynasty did not send troops to directly occupy the Tufan Kingdom was just turning the Tufan people into vassal states was because he saw that the cost of conquest was too high.

The Ming Kingdom is much weaker than the Tang Dynasty at its peak. It can pull out millions of soldiers at its peak. How many can the Ming Kingdom today pull out?

Even if the quality of the Ming national high-level soldiers is higher, can they still beat ten?

After all, that was not a pure warrior corps!

Moreover, once the Ming army invaded a large scale, Songtsen Gampo, who had already gained an absolute advantage in the Tufan civil war, could fully hold high the banner of righteousness and call on all Tufan tribes to fight the enemy together. At that time, even if the leaders of the rebel Tufan tribe were unwilling to fight against the Ming army, they would have to fight against Songtsen Gampo even if they were unwilling to do so.

After all, this is a tribal battle. If the foreign enemy invades, the lower-level subordinates will not be happy!

Although there was no clear national thought in this era, it had a strong sense of regional xenophobia, which was also the reason why dozens of regional forces could form fighting each other along the southeast coast after the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

This regional xenophobic idea is mainly caused by inconvenience in communication and difficulties in civil communication among various places. It is also a common problem in the era of cold weapons.

Many times, in a unified empire, there will be several or even dozens of regional dialects, even different languages, so it is not surprising that it is xenophobic...

Fortunately, the people and the upper class in East Asia have always had the spirit of a unified dynasty, so the resistance to unification is far lower than that of other regions.

But the Tufan people have never been unified by the Tang Dynasty, so naturally they would not have the idea of ​​unifying with the Han people. Even if they are unified, the Tufan people hope that they will be the foreign conquest led by them rather than being conquered!

This is a very serious problem of cultural confrontation. If you want to eliminate the need to undergo one or two generations of cultural education, you can just slaughter a whole generation with a knife...

Well, Genghis Khan in the history of the earth used a knife to complete national unity. The Mongols, who were originally only hundreds of thousands, later became tens of millions...

All the thorns are killed, and the remaining assimilation will be easier.

Because of this, Richard did not directly send the Ming army to invade. Otherwise, even if the rebel tribes wanted to cooperate, the people below would not agree. After all, the ordinary Tufan tribes were still fighting, and the tribe leaders were not the main force in the war!

Richard from the earth naturally understood this truth, not to mention that the Ming army is not sufficient now. The Western Regions have begun a national compulsory military service system, and the Northwest region is also training new recruits everywhere. The defense line facing the green-skinned orcs in the north is dying every day!

The only ones that Richard could mobilize at any time were the Western Regions Legion and the few soldiers in the cavalry and chopping system.

To put it bluntly, they are all system soldiers. If there were no system soldiers, Richard's country would have collapsed long ago.

Richard did not want to force Songtsen Gampo's opponent to him, even though these remaining rebel tribes were already surviving and could not pose a threat to Songtsen Gampo.

But these rebel tribes still have a lot of population, and all they lack is weapons, training and necessary time!

Therefore, Richard ordered the cabinet to formulate a strategic plan to interfere with the Tufan civil war.

First of all, hundreds of screened grassroots Han officers with reliable political loyalty acted as instructors and entered the Tufan rebel tribe who sought peace from the Ming Dynasty to train the army.

Secondly, a few troops were sent to the foundation of the rebel tribes in the name of "maintaining peace among the Tufan tribes" to prevent the rebel tribes from being destroyed by the superior Songtsen Gampo army.

These are exchanges of political interests and do not charge money. The major Tufan rebel tribes only need to recognize that Mingguo is their suzerain.

The remaining arms transactions require payment, whether it is Tang coins or precious metals of gold and silver.

Since the Tufan Civil War, the military industry, which was underdeveloped in the Tufan Kingdom, has been cleared to zero. Only Songtsen Gampo has a certain ability to build weapons, and it is still in the handicraft workshop model...

Even the Western Regions where the great uprising had the ability to build arms was greater than that of the Tufan Kingdom!

In addition, the large number of weapons that were about to be eliminated seized by the Ming army during the suppression of the uprising were sold to the Tufan Rebellion Tribe at high prices with newly manufactured weapons.

The war between Tufan Rebellion Tribe and Songtsen Gampo was more defeated and the weapons accumulated had already been consumed. Even though they knew that the weapons provided by Ming Kingdom were of poor quality and the prices were the same as those newly built weapons, they could only grit their teeth and buy them...

At least, these weapons can kill people, which are much better than "toys" like sticks!
