Nine hundred and eighty-nine Post District

Even Wang Xuance himself did not know what happened, he successfully made the first contribution to the Persian annihilation war - capturing the Persian emperor and general. △

Perhaps he himself didn't know what the benefit he had made in his helplessness brought him. He also began to believe that credit might not only be achieved by himself, but also someone would take the initiative to send credit to him. Although he didn't know what Du He was trying to do this, since he had credit, then take it. It's better to have it than not, right?

On May 10, the second year of Chenghe, the Persian Empire emperor and general were captured alive by Wang Xuance, the general of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty. After that, the imperial city was captured and the palace was occupied. All important items were obtained by Du He, the great archer of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty. After Wang Xuance presented the captured Persian emperor and the great general, the Persian emperor cried and expressed his willingness to surrender. He signed his name on the surrender letter and stamped it. Regardless of the general's desperate plea, the Persian emperor surrendered, and the four hundred years of history ended.

Du He screened the more than 50,000 Persian troops who surrendered in accordance with his previous oath, of which 38,000 were beheaded. The loyal old general who had always protected the young emperor was also ordered by Du He according to his promise, and then asked the young emperor to watch the progress of the Lingchi criminal law with his own eyes. He was not allowed to close his eyes or sleep for three days and three nights, and he must finish it with his own eyes. Even the judge Lingchi had spent a lot of effort to transfer from the country, with a sophisticated technique, ensuring that people would still be alive after the 36,000-bit cut...

Du He didn't know why he had to do such a cruel thing, but he always felt that he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief for those hundreds of thousands of unjustly dead people. The unjustly souls in the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city should be more willing to see this scene. One retribution is made to the other. Du He divided the flesh and blood after Lingchi as sacrifices into dozens of portions to worship those unjustly souls. The bodies of the soldiers who participated in the massacre were burned above the slaughter. Then, Du He erected a stone tablet, burned incense and prayed to sacrifice to those unjustly dead souls, and wished them rest in peace.

Respect for the soul is also one of the customs of the ancients. For the current Tang Dynasty military academy students and the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, the attention to life is even more important. Since the era of military academy, Suning has deliberately arranged content on paying attention to human life in military academy textbooks. The narration is all raised by parents, and no one is more noble than anyone else. Some officials have organs like civilians, and some rich people have organs as well as poor people. It is just that the background problems have caused the identity gap between people.

After years of subtle influence, the students of military academy have basically adhered to respect for life, especially human life. Especially in the era of the lack of population in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er repeatedly emphasized the importance of human life. In conjunction with the propaganda of military academy, the army that pays the most attention to human life was born. Human life is important, second only to honor, and it does not concern the honor of soldiers. Human life must be put first.

After a large number of military academy students entered the army, the regular regular army became a veritable student army, which means that officers are all students who graduated from military academy. The quality of the entire army has been greatly improved, not only reflected in the military discipline and combat effectiveness, but also in the changes in the army. This army attaches more importance to life.

This may be because the army of all dynasties has not paid attention to, but it marks whether an army has an important indicator of whether a country's army is truly a national army.

An army that does not value human life can only be regarded as a beast army, not a real army.

The Persian army was basically eliminated. The last two provinces finally gave up resistance and surrendered in full after the Tang army led the surrender edict of the Persian emperor. Persia was completely occupied by the Tang Dynasty. As a country, Persia no longer existed. What existed afterwards was only the Persian Special Administrative Region, which represented Persian land. Like the Arab Special Administrative Region, it was only a transitional existence.

After learning about this, Emperor Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict, expressing deep regret that the two countries were originally friends in times of distress, but they have come to this point. It was not what I would like to see, but now that things have come to this point, it is useless to say more. The Persian emperor and the government are very incompetent and cannot guarantee the operation of the government and the safety of their people. So many Persian people fled to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, His Majesty Li Chengqian decided to imitate the Arab example and set up the Postal Zone, with Isham, the former chief adviser of the Persian advisory group who was previously under house arrest, as the governor of Persia, in charge of all Persian daily government affairs. The Persian security was temporarily responsible by the Tang army. After the Persian security improved, it would be handed over to the Persian security army.

Isham, who was released from the death row by the Tang army, accepted the appointment of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After a brief inspection of the scarred imperial city and the people of the same scarred imperial city, Isham swore to become the first governor of the Post District, and seized the same rights as the Arab governor Senai, and began to take charge of all the post-war reconstruction tasks and restoration tasks in the Persian region. He summoned refugees to return to his hometown to settle down, allocate land, distribute seeds, distribute oxen according to the Tang Dynasty, develop agriculture according to local conditions, and did not have to pay taxes in the first two years.

The Persians who were struggling by war finally got a chance to rest and a real opportunity to rest. The Persians who had already lived and worked in the holy city also returned to their hometown with money and food to find their remaining relatives. However, they said that their hometown brought them many painful memories. They did not want to go back, but just wanted to settle in the holy city within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They had no other thoughts. They were already people of the Tang Dynasty, now, the future, and forever.

Unlike the Arabs, the Persians had a deep affection for the Tang Dynasty, especially the residents of the seven or eight provinces on the eastern border. They even jointly proposed to directly incorporate the territory of the Tang Dynasty and were unwilling to continue living as Persians. This country and code name only brought them endless fear and shame. They did not want to be called Persians in the future, but hoped to be called Tang people, and even their descendants would be standard Tang people, speaking Chinese language and writing Chinese characters!

If Persia has not perished to this point, it would be really unreasonable. Emperor Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty did not agree to this request, but continued to order the establishment of the Persian Special Administrative Region, the appointment of the Persian Governor Isham, and the distribution of power to be done in a variety of ways. Although these areas were destroyed too much, it would be very troublesome if they were directly incorporated into the rule of the Tang Dynasty and consumed too much energy.

More importantly, Li Chengqian did not have so much energy to take care of Persia, because some things happened immediately, eliminating his own troubles. The Romans began to make trouble again. The veteran general Toyev brought out the main force of the border defense regiment, and the Roman army easily defeated the main army of Persia, attacked all the east, and directly collided with the western uprising troops spread across the western provinces of Persia. One battle after another, although some of the uprising troops marched eastward, a considerable number of uprising troops remained, just in time to collided with the Romans. The Persians were so miserable because of the continued war with the Romans. The Persians hated the Romans as much as the Persian government, so...

After the main force of the Western Uprising Alliance was wiped out, the Romans almost defeated the remaining Western Uprising Alliance and occupied several provinces. When they planned to attack further, the uprising forces from many western provinces united to fight desperately to block the enemy. The Roman border guards hurriedly set out and were not prepared enough. After being attacked by the granary, they were short of food and grass. They were defeated four times in a row and retreated a lot. The two armies entered a confrontation.

In the Arabian District further south, as the co-owner of the Arabian District, the Romans had long been dissatisfied with the equal taxation policy. However, due to the poor face of the Tang Dynasty, the Persians committed suicide this time, and the Romans fought undeclaredly. The news also spread to the Roman garrisons in the Arabian District. The Roman commander led 30,000 garrisons to sneak attack the Persian army. The 30,000 garrisons in Persia were wiped out, and a great victory was won. Then the troops were divided into two groups, attacking the Tang army and the Arabian District.

The Romans planned to occupy Persian territory and integrate Persian forces to fight the Tang Dynasty. Now they will completely eat up the 10,000 garrisons set up here in the Tang Dynasty, pull out the nail, and use 20,000 troops to deal with the Tang Dynasty's army. The remaining 10,000 raids in the Arabian District. However, they never thought that just an hour ago, Feiying sent a letter to Ye Feng, the commander of the Arabian District of the Tang Dynasty, informing Ye Feng that the Romans were very likely to launch a raid. Ye Feng was a second-year student in the military academy and was calm. After learning the news, they immediately led their troops to prepare for the response. Just as the preparation was completed, the raids of the Roman army arrived.

The Romans obviously did not expect that the Tang army was prepared for a surprise attack but failed. The 20,000 troops were defeated and more than 6,000 people were killed. Most of them were captured or fled. As for the 10,000 troops that attacked the Arabian District, they were also stubbornly blocked by the 10,000 security troops led by Senai and were forced to stay outside the fortress of the Arabian District. Obviously, the Romans' raid plan failed, and the plan to seize the Arabian District was not successful.

Du He soon learned that the Romans were organizing a large army to make a fortune in the civil strife of the Persians, but the Roman emperor certainly did not know that the Tang Dynasty had defeated Persia. Persia had announced its surrender. The news had not been learned by the Romans. After stabilizing the rear, Du He recruited 50,000 Anxi troops to the Persian imperial city, and personally led a 100,000 army to the west to fight with the main Roman troops. In addition, Wang Xuance led 30,000 troops to the direction of the Arabian Special Zone, supported Ye Feng and Senai, and prepared to take over the Arabian Special Zone in full.

After just finished the Persian battle, it was not wise to go to war with the Romans immediately, but Du He had no choice. If the war did not start at this time, he would have to watch the many wealthy Persian provinces in the east that were not destroyed were occupied by the Romans and transformed into the war potential of Rome, which would have an adverse impact on the future decisive battle with Rome. This was absolutely not allowed by the Tang Dynasty.

On June 17, the second year of Chenghe, the Anxi Army led by Du He encountered the Roman army crossing the river on the east bank of the Euphrates River. Du He attacked him unexpectedly, shakes his morale with artillery and destroys his phalanx with iron cavalry. He annihilated 30,000 Roman legions in one battle, giving the Romans a headache. On June 18, Wang Xuance led 50,000 Tang Arab coalition forces to defeat the Roman legion in the Arabian Special Zone, wiped out the Roman garrison troops, captured its chief general, and fully controlled the Arabian Special Zone. He also announced the abolition of Persia and Rome's possession of the Arabian Special Zone and changed it to direct protection of the Tang Dynasty.

After the Roman emperor lost tens of thousands of troops, he urgently stopped the army's attack and sent people to ask the Tang commander Du He if the civil strife of the Persians had ended. The Romans just came to help the Persians quell the civil strife. For some reason, they fought with the Tang army. I really didn't know what the reason was. I hope the Tang Dynasty gave an explanation.

Du He did not say much nonsense, and directly showed the surrender edict of the Persian emperor, telling the Roman envoy that the Persian Kingdom had fallen and was now the Persian Special Administrative Region under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. This place is equivalent to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If Rome did not want to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, then it should immediately evacuate the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the Tang army would not be responsible for anything that happened!
