Ganlu Temple..

"Speaking of the Emperor and the Grand Tutor, they must have arrived in Guangzhou, right?" Cheng Qian fell a piece on the chessboard.

"Well, but there has been a storm in the southeastern sea recently. There is a report that the emperor and the grand sage may go to Liuqiu to shelter the wind. Liuqiu Duke Zhang has been using troops against Shanyi recently and has made good progress. The captive Shanyi has been a hundred thousand. It won't take long for him to conquer the entire Shanyi on Liuqiu Island. He is really a tiger father without a dog son." Changsun Wuji followed him and left a son.

"Zhang Boyu is indeed extraordinary."

"There is a very different place for the dog son and Changsun Chong, which is not enough to be created." Changsun Wuji stared at the chessboard and did not look up. "But this Liuqiu is really big. In the past, I thought it was just a small island in the East China Sea. Although I knew there was such an island in the Central Plains as early as the Han Dynasty, no one had ever really looked at it."

"In the past, Hainan Island was even worse than Lingnan. Hainan Island has been operating for a long time. Although there are many liyas on the island, the Han people have moved for many years, established prefectures and counties, and settled troops. They all thought that Liuqiu was a deserted island. Who would know that Liuqiu was so big and so rich."

Chengqian also had to admit that the court really took a look at it back then. One Liuqiu was better than ten Hainan islands, but at the beginning, there were prefectures and counties on Hainan Island, and what about Liuqiu? There was only a group of headhunting and cannibalism.

Not many people know how big Liu Qiu is and what the geography is.

When Zhang Chao said he wanted to buy this island, the emperor thought he had made a big profit, so he sold the island of Shanyi to Zhang Chao. He had no business and made a big profit. As a result, now that the Zhang family has this island, it is like a tiger with wings.

In more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of mountain and barbarians have been conquered, millions of immigrated, and millions of fertile land have been reclaimed. Shanggang, Tunbao, and towns are simply a granary on the East China Sea.

Now it has become a large army camp of the Zhang family.

After the fiefing law was promulgated, the Liuqiu court never had a chance to take it back. Liuqiu Island was born in the Zhang family for generations, and Liuqiu Duchy.

Cheng Qian shook his head. He had a good relationship with Zhang. This brother-in-law used to be his follower. Now, in a blink of an eye, he can command thousands of troops and conquer the barbarians.

"The immortal nine-headed bird is really full of domineering compared to the family emblem of the white tiger and black bird Li Shuzhi in the past, and the new family emblem of the Zhang family on the Ba is really full of domineering. The number one wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty is really not called casually. Just one Liu asked for the leader, and the Zhang family showed such strong strength."

Cheng Qian sighed, "Uncle, Liu Qiu as a principality, Zhang Cheng is the Duke of the State. This time he used more than 20,000 troops in Liu Qiu. Is this illegal? No one in the House of Reigns raised a question?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly.

The chess piece in his hand fell, "Your Majesty, the system is dead, and people are alive. There are loopholes in it. As Duke Liu Qiu, Zhang can have only 5,000 troops. But these 5,000 soldiers are the number of soldiers in the territory of the princes, that is, the number of soldiers in the regular territory. These 5,000 people do not include the militias, reserves, security groups in the chamber of commerce, as well as the lord's family generals, and the tribal soldiers of the conquered Shanyi, who are not included in this army."

Cheng Qian's face looked ugly.

This is really full of loopholes.

This loophole was found in the past, but in the past, the imperial court only provided the lords' arms according to the number of troops, and the price of the ordnance was extremely expensive, which made the lords' equip their troops extremely expensive.

But now, the lords still have so many troops, but they can create weapons privately, as long as they don’t sell them across borders.

With the strength of the Zhang family, there is no problem in building weapons, and the cost is much cheaper than the one sold by the imperial court.

Not to mention the three unrestricted troops, militia, security, local soldiers, and reserves that can replenish explosive soldiers at any time, just like the servants who are almost as regular as the territory guards.

These people who are called servants are actually the private soldiers of the Zhang family. Especially the elite private soldiers, they are their most elite and loyal troops. They are well equipped, well trained, and have high treatment. They are said to be servants, but what is the difference between them and the guards without any restrictions on weapons and equipment?

Compared to Zhang and Zhang, there were three hundred knights. This was his most loyal unit, three hundred knights, each with two entourages. In fact, this knight had nine hundred knights. The Zhang family had a total of eight hundred knights with fiefs in Liuqiu. These were Zhang's vassals, and each knight had his own entourage and trainee attendant knights.

These are not within the 5,000 soldiers.

To put it bluntly, as long as the Zhang family is willing, not to mention five thousand, it is not uncommon for them to have 50,000 people. They have people, money, and weapons, and nothing is wrong.

Seeing the emperor worried, Changsun Wuji comforted, "At present, the Zhang family's fiefdom is the best, with a large population and a good location. The remaining fiefdoms are Langshan North, Liaobei, Heishui, Dayuan, Qinglong, Luzon, Boni Java, etc., and Dayuan is in good conditions and has a fertile land and a large population. However, there are many indigenous tribes there and are very strong. It is far away from Tianshan North, and it is more difficult to immigrate. It will take time for the Zhang family to completely control the other side, and there will be no more soldiers to explode for the time being."

"Uncle Guo, don't you think the law of division of feudals is too much now? Just like the issue of the princes holding troops, there are almost no restrictions. This is very dangerous!" Cheng Qian said.

"Indeed," Changsun Wuji nodded, but the princes of the army would definitely not let the court modify the restrictions. After all, the titles and fiefs were hereditary, and everyone was happy and cherished more. Soldiers were their guarantees, so who would weaken them?

The law of feudal division clearly states that the princes have the right to support troops in their own territory according to the number of troops stipulated in the law of feudal division, and can also establish militias, local soldiers, chamber of commerce security groups, etc. The princes can also have their own armed servants!

Unless there is a rebellion in the territorial territory of the princes and the princes requests the court to send troops to quell the rebellion, the court's army shall not enter the territories of the princes. Otherwise, the princes can send troops to intercept and attack, which is not considered a rebellion.

Look at this article, it is clearly stated that the soldiers of the princes will not leave the country without following the order. But similarly, if the soldiers of the court do not receive the request from the princes, they will not be allowed to cross the country.

Because of this, the court now has no right to garrison troops in the vassal territory. Unless the vassal permits, they have the right to be regarded as invading their private territory and invading their property.

These princes would rather not defend the court's troops than let the court station troops in their territory. The territory has been regarded as a forbidden property by them.

"I hope that when they encounter rebellion and invasion, they will not ask the court to send troops into the country to quell the rebellion." Cheng Qian hummed.

"Your Majesty, if the court encounters rebellion and foreign enemies invade, the emperor may order the princes to lead troops to defend the king. But in the same way, if there is rebellion or invasion in the territory of the princes, the princes can request the court to send troops to support him. This is equal. If the court does not support the princes, then the princes will have no obligation to the court when the court needs it in the future."

"Wang Xuance has been good at Xindu recently and has captured a large area of ​​the territory of the Kingdom of Jiji. I am going to enfeoff several emperor brothers to Xindu."

Chengqian now understands the benefits of enfeoffing the royal family as Ma Zhou mentioned. No matter what, the royal family is more brothers, and no matter how you look at it, it is more reliable than those of the heroes of the opposite sex.

"Of course this is possible, but the old minister reminds Your Majesty that those territories were captured by the coalition forces of the princes such as Wang Xuance, and the imperial court did not send many soldiers. In terms of merit and reward, half of these fiefs must be taken out to grant these princes a feud, and the rest is Your Majesty's."

This is also a rule.

This is a war led by the court. If the princes sent troops to open up the territory, the court would not even have the chance to divide it.

"I am going to use Li Daozong as the Admiral of Xindu and General of the Right Martial Guard to replace Wang Xuance as the Marshal of Xindu battlefield."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, "It's a bit too direct. Your Majesty, Xindu's battle was supported by Wang Xuance's left and right coordination. Now the coalition forces have counterattacked in full swing under his command and won a complete victory. At this time, if His Majesty changes the generals at the last minute, it's a bad thing."

He also knew the emperor's thoughts, and there was a rift with Zhang Chao. Wang Xuance was Zhang Chao's disciple, so the emperor of course wanted to replace him.

But such a simple and rough change of the general will be unpopular.

"Your Majesty might as well reward Wang Xuance and let him defeat Tanisha within a specified period of time. You can even promise that if Wang Xuance captures Tanisha, then reward Tanisha to him, grant him the title of Prince of Tanisha, and use Tanisha to build the Kingdom of Tanisha."

"What if Wang Xuance really conquered?" Cheng Qian asked.

Since Wang Xuance counterattacked this year, the offensive has been very fierce. He fought more than 30 battles, and all defeated the Japanese army and attacked thousands of miles from the country of Ji Japanese.

The sharpness of the soldiers is unparalleled.

"Your Majesty, Tanisha is a city that was once the capital of King Jiri. Before King Jiri merged the countries of Tanisha, it was his place of origin. The city was high and the walls were strong. Moreover, there were heavy troops in the city. King Jiri personally led the imperial guards to help. The trust in this season is rainy, which is not conducive to our arms."

"If according to my judgment, the city is difficult to get out of the enemy, Wang Xuance has only one choice in the end, withdraw his troops and rest. At that time, the court can replace Wang Xuance with justifiable reason and let Li Daozong take over the military power of Xindu. As for Wang Xuance, he is still General Fubo, the West Sea Fleet. His Majesty can transfer him and some of his fleet to the Red Sea, and take the Sinai Peninsula together with Rome and Aksum to protect the canal route."

Changsun Wuji took the opportunity to replace Zhang Chao's disciples, let Li Daozong, who was from the royal family, take over the power of Xindu's military power and transfer Wang Xuance to the Red Sea.

You can also use Wang Xuance to conquer the Sinai Peninsula, but there is also a part of the peninsula that he photographed overseas colonial territory.

This is deeply rooted in Chengqian.

Since the fiefdom is no longer in charge, the 600,000 troops of the court must be taken back and held firmly.

Let’s start with Wang Xuance.
