Hua'an's plan to control these soldiers and horses to serve the Great Jin Dynasty by mixing the countries to surrender the troops and horses can be said to be more reasonable, but it is only in the theoretical stage, and it is still very difficult to actually operate, at least some thorny problems must be solved. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, the biggest problem is the problem of military pay and military rations, raising soldiers needs money and food, without these two things, it is impossible to effectively support the army, the Jin army has spent a lot of money to support its own army, if you support an auxiliary army, the pressure on military pay and military food will be greater, and this will be a very huge burden, must be seriously considered.

Hua'an's plan is to ask for money and food from various countries, and even collect taxes directly in various countries to support this huge army, but this will inevitably infringe on the interests of the royal families and nobles of various countries, and thus will be opposed by them with all their might, now, the main force of the Jin army is stationed here, and it may be possible to get these money and food, and once the main force of the Jin army withdraws, it is very likely that there will be a large-scale rebellion against the Great Jin, at least this situation is completely possible, and the probability is extremely high, Since Hua'an has spent a lot of energy to lay down this land and is determined to establish the Anxi Protectorate, this must not be allowed to happen, besides, this area is a necessary place on the Silk Road, and it is the core interest of the Great Jin, how can it be lost.

As for how to control Central Asia more effectively in the future, Huaan felt that he had to think carefully and formulate a very detailed plan, and he must not let a large part of the country that he had worked so hard to lose in an instant because of the slightest negligence.

In the past few days, Hua'an has been thinking about such a problem, and has conceived several sets of plans, but no matter which set of plans, the cost of supporting this huge army must be borne by the Central Asian countries, and the Great Jin Dynasty cannot be transferred from the east, after all, from Luoyang, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, is thousands of miles away from Central Asia, the road is too far away, and it is very inconvenient to allocate food and salary, and once there is an accident halfway, the army stationed in Central Asia is very likely to have a sinister situation of running out of pay and food. The consequences are extremely serious.

In other words, Hua'an must raise enough military rations and salaries to be consumed in Central Asia, and at the same time, it must not provoke the local royal family and aristocracy too much, so as not to face too much opposition, which requires great courage and wisdom to do, and Hua'an must be cautious.

However, these are all later words, at present, the Tianzhu Kingdom has not yet been conquered, and the top priority of Hua'an and his subordinates is to kill Hua's City as soon as possible, and conquer the Tianzhu Kingdom, so that the Sea Protector King of Tianzhu obeys the orders of the Great Jin, otherwise the Gupta Dynasty will be destroyed.

Wang San was stunned by Hua'an's powerful plan, paused for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed a very good idea to mix the soldiers and horses of various countries to surrender, but the weapons that soldiers of various countries are used to using are not the same, the tactics are completely different, and even the appearance and clothing are different. After speaking, he frowned and looked at Hua An.

Obviously, Wang San felt that the mixed formation could indeed greatly reduce the probability of these surrendered soldiers and horses rebelling, but at the same time, he also thought that this would make the surrendered soldiers and horses of various countries a little confused, after all, the equipment, tactics, eating habits, clothing, etc. of the soldiers and horses of various countries are not the same, and if they are completely mixed together, the scene must be very chaotic, and it looks very much like a group of rabble, how much combat power can such a group of rabble, Wang San thinks about it and feels that it must be very vulnerable, at least, such a chaotic army, How to command will be a big problem, let alone how effective it is.

Hua An naturally had already considered such a problem, he looked at Wang San, and said: "The mixing of the surrendered soldiers and horses of various countries is completely to reduce their chances of rebelling against the Great Jin, which is very necessary, as for the issue of combat effectiveness, this king has been thinking about it for a long time, let them gradually change the equipment of our Jin army, so as to achieve the unity of clothing, at the same time, in order to take care of the habits of the soldiers of various countries, the mixed formation is based on hundreds of people, that is, the hundred soldiers in each group are from one country, These may be better. ”

Hearing this, Wang San nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a recognition of Hua'an's view, after all, compared with combat effectiveness, the reliability of the auxiliary army is the most important, if the army is unreliable, the stronger the combat effectiveness, the more dangerous it is, a loyal army with average combat strength is far stronger than an army with strong combat strength but insufficient loyalty, this is an iron law since ancient times, and it will not change at any time.

"Your Majesty, the king of Gandhara and his nearly 10,000 soldiers are kneeling outside the palace to surrender to our army." It was at this moment that the news came that the king of Gandhara was asking for surrender.

When Hua An heard this, he grinned, looked at the generals beside him, and said, "Generals, let's go and have a look." Then he rode his horse and went to the palace of the king of Gandhara.

Soon, Hua An and his party arrived at the palace of Gandhara, and saw a large number of Gandhara ministers and royal families kneeling on the ground, as well as many soldiers, all of whom also laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground, waiting for the Jin army to dispose of them.

Hua An Lerma stopped, looked at the Gandhara palace in front of him, for a long time, and said softly: "Although the Gandhara country is weak, the palace is very magnificent, such a luxurious palace, the cost must be very huge, it seems that the Gandhara country has a lot of wealth!" After speaking, he looked at Hua'an meaningfully.

Seeing this, Wang San immediately understood Hua'an's intentions, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the Gandhara Kingdom is weak and financially strong, and if so much financial resources belong to my Great Jin, it will definitely be able to feed 100,000 soldiers and horses, so that a large part of the financial problems that the king is worried about can be solved." ”

Hua An grinned, and said: "That's right, the Gandhara Kingdom must be under the full control of my Great Jin, and in the future, all the taxes of the Gandhara Kingdom will be owned by my Great Jin, and the necessary expenses for going out of the country, and the remaining income will be used to support our army and horses." After speaking, he looked at the generals beside him.

When the generals heard this, they all nodded in approval and approved of Huaan's decision.

"Your Majesty, there are many temples in Gandhara, and ordinary people have donated their money to the temples, and the temples are so rich! If you can take all the money for the incense oil from all the temples in Gandhara, it will be a huge income! A Jin army general whispered.

When Hua An heard this, he cast an appreciative gaze and said softly: "That's right, it should be like this, instead of using the sesame oil money to paint the Buddha statue with gold, it is better to use it to provide food and salary for our soldiers and horses, so it will be done, in the future, more than sixty percent of the sesame oil money of the major temples in Gandhara must be handed over to the Anxi Protectorate, otherwise his temple will be demolished." ”

"The king is wise, in this way, the Gandhara country alone can provide a large amount of financial resources for our army, plus the financial resources that the rest of the countries can provide, my Great Jin should have enough financial resources to support our army and auxiliary army." Wang San opened his mouth and said.

Hua An smiled, looked at the Gandhara King not far ahead, and said softly, "Is the Gandhara King still kneeling?" We can't keep them waiting too long, I'm afraid that this old bone of King Gandhara won't last long! Ha ha! With that, he dismounted and walked over.

All the generals of the Jin army also followed behind Hua An and walked in the direction of the kneeling king of Gandhara.

Seeing Hua An walking slowly, King Gandhara hurriedly lowered his head to show his respect for Hua An.

Hua An walked in front of King Gandhara, looked at the kneeling King of Gandhara, and felt a breath of long-term enslavement, yes, the King of Gandhara in front of him has no temperament that a king should have, just like an angry ghost, a angry ghost who has been suppressed for a long time, which is enough to show that the King of Gandhara is not the real ruler of the Gandhara country at all, but a puppet king who is controlled by others, and the real person in power Needless to say, it must be the Tianzhu general sent by the Sea Protector King.

"Xiao Wang sees the **** North King of the Great Jin Dynasty, may the **** North King forgive the people of Gandhara, they are all kind and simple people, and they will not oppose the **** of the Great Jin." King Gandhara said timidly.

"May the Northern King of the Great Jin Dynasty forgive the people of Gandhara, and we will obey the rule of the Great Jin **** in the future." The courtiers behind the king of Gandhara spoke.

Obviously, these courtiers, like their kings, have no rights at all, and have no national integrity, and are just a pair of walking dead.

The Gandhara king and his courtiers are all weak and bulliable, which makes Hua'an and the generals around him all very proud, as the saying goes, weak can be bullied, as long as it is a weak person, it will inevitably be bullied by others, and Hua'an now needs to bully such a weak person, because the garrison in the Central Plains needs a lot of financial resources, and the Gandhara country is a lot of fat, so rich and oily, how can Hua'an not bite off a piece?

Hua An stared at the king of Gandhara and reprimanded: "Since you want to belong to my Great Jin court, why when our army attacked the city, not only did you not sneak attack the Tianzhu soldiers and horses, but also helped the Tianzhu army to hold the city, causing our army to suffer a lot of losses, who should bear this responsibility?" After saying that, he glared at the king of Gandhara viciously.

When King Gandhara heard this, he trembled involuntarily, and hurriedly explained: "King Bei, it's not Xiao Wang's fault, Fu Lousha has always been controlled by the generals under the command of the King of the Sea Protector, and these soldiers are all under the command of the Gupta Dynasty, and the King has no right to ask the army, only because the Great Jin army entered the city and defeated the soldiers and horses of the King of the Sea Protector, so they all fled back to the palace and waited to surrender to the Great Jin court." After speaking, he looked at Hua An nervously, waiting for Hua An's instructions.

Hua An snorted coldly, looked at King Gandhara, and said: "Although what you said is also reasonable, however, these are not reasons, if you want this king to forgive you, you must have the sincerity to take refuge in the Great Jin." ”

Seeing that Hua An began to put forward conditions, King Gandhara hurriedly asked: "If the king of the north has any conditions, as long as the little king has them, they will all be given to the king of the north." ”

Hua An grinned and said, "This king heard that the Gandhara country is quite wealthy, and there must be a lot of money in taxes every year!" After speaking, he stared at the king of Gandhara.

The king of Gandhara trembled, and hurriedly responded: "Back to the king of the north, it's not a lot, it's just enough for expenses, only enough for expenses." ”

"It's just enough to spend, I'm afraid it's more than that!" Hua An frowned and said.

King Gandhara said with a bitter face: "Back to the king of the north, there is indeed not much surplus, Gandhara has 20,000 soldiers and horses to support, and the 20,000 army of the king of the sea is also supported by us, in addition, the officials and royal family of Gandhara also need a lot of money to consume, and there is a lot of money to be paid to the king of the sea every year, so the little king really does not have much money, only two well-behaved and beautiful daughters, one has married the king of the sea, and the other is still in the palace, if the king of the north likes it, it will be given to the king of the north." ”

Hua An was stunned when he heard this, it was ironic that the king of the Gandhara Kingdom, which looked very rich, was so poor that only his own daughter could give away.

At this moment, Hua An was not very interested in the daughter of King Gandhara, and what he urgently needed to solve was the financial resources of the army stationed in Central Asia in the future, after all, this was related to the core interests of the Western Protectorate of Anxi of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Hua An looked at the King of Gandhara with a smile, and said: "Now that Gandhara has been attached to the Great Jin, the money given to the King of the Sea Protector every year can be saved, the 20,000 army of the King of the Sea Protector has been captured by the king, and the 20,000 military salaries and food can also be saved, in addition, Gandhara can have the protection of my Great Jin, and there is no need for 20,000 troops, this money can also be saved, the officials that Gandhara does not need can be appropriately cut, and the expenses of the royal family can be completely reduced, so that the Gandhara Kingdom should have a lot of money left every year!" ”

King Gandhara sighed and said truthfully, "If you only provide for the officials and the royal family, twenty percent of the tax revenue will be about the same." After speaking, his face was full of bitterness.

When Hua An heard this, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "Very good, just do it, in the future, eighty percent of Gandhara's tax revenue will be handed over to the Great Jin, and only two percent are allowed to remain." ”

"Yes, King Bei, Xiao Wang will do what you want." King Gandhara said tremblingly.

Hua An smiled and continued, "By the way, does it seem that there are many temples in Gandhara? There must be a lot of sesame oil money every year, and all of them are left in 20%, and the remaining 80% must be handed over to the Great Jin, and the officials of Gandhara are responsible for collecting it. However, this king will secretly send an investigation, and if anyone dares to make false accounts to deceive the Great Jin, the whole family will be executed. ”

"Yes, King Bei, Xiao Wang remembered, eighty percent of the temple's sesame oil money was handed over to Dajin." King Gandhara said, tears about to flow.

Hua An smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, looked at the generals beside him, and said: "The geographical location of Fulousha is extremely important, our army must garrison at least 10,000 troops, and in addition, 20,000 auxiliary troops will be arranged in the future to assist our army in garrisoning the entire Gandhara." ”

"What the king said is that this is the source of wealth for my Anxi Protectorate in the future, and it must be stationed in any case." Wang San opened his mouth and answered. (To be continued.) )
