Chapter 83: The emperors found a problem when deploying the envoys (4 more subscriptions required)
But at this time, it was not only Li Longji who was feeling proud.
In fact, ancient people from all dynasties were also envious of Li Longji.
After all, the Kaiyuan Prosperity created by Li Longji was highly praised by the world.
Even in the era after the Tang Dynasty.
Many ordinary people who are not very familiar with history, although they do not understand history, can understand that what was written on the sky curtain said that food was extremely cheap during the Tianbao period.
Everyone has farmland.
Ordinary people can eat meat from time to time.
Although it is not as good as in modern times, for most periods of ancient times, this was already a dimensionality reduction attack.
So the people all said enviously:
"Oh, I wish I could go to the Tang Dynasty and be a commoner under the rule of Li Longji!"
The next video is also related to Li Longji.
[Distribution map of military forces during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. Let's see how many troops the peak Tang Dynasty had. 】
[During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the main military governors included:]
[The First Town Fanyang Jiedushi! The base camp is in Youzhou, with 92000 soldiers and 6500 war horses. ]
[The Second Town, Longyou Jiedushi! The seat of government is located in Shanzhou, with 75000 soldiers and war horses. ]
[The third town is the Hexi Jiedushi! The seat of government is located in Liangzhou, with 73000 soldiers and 7900 war horses. ]
[The fourth governor of Shuofang! The seat of government is in Lingzhou, with 65000 soldiers and 13300 war horses. ]
[The Fifth Town Hedong Jiedushi! The seat of government is located in Taiyuan, with 55000 soldiers and war horses! ]
[The Sixth Zhenpinglu Jiedushi! The seat of government is located in Yingzhou, with 37500 soldiers and 5500 war horses. ]
[The seventh military governor of Jiannan! The seat of government is in Yizhou, with 30000 soldiers and 2000 war horses.]
[The eighth military governor of Anxi! The seat of government was set up in Qiuci, with 24000 soldiers and 2700 war horses. ]
[The ninth town is Beiting Jiedushi! The seat of government is also in Beiting, with 5000 soldiers and war horses.]
[The Tenth Town Lingnan Five Prefectures General, with its seat in Guangzhou, has 15500 troops under its jurisdiction.]
……
[The above Jiedushi, plus the 12 Tang Dynasty central troops. 】
[It can be seen that the regular military strength of the Tang Dynasty has exceeded 600,000! ]
[Not to mention that there are a large number of potential military service populations that can be recruited. ]
[This powerful army was also one of the fundamental reasons that ensured that the Tang Dynasty was the world's number one power at that time. ]
This video is even shorter.
It was over in less than a minute.
Li Longji looked at the sky curtain and continued to introduce his Tang Dynasty, and said excitedly and proudly:
"Our Tang Dynasty is rich and the people are strong."
"The army is even more powerful!"
"Look, my arrangement of the Tang Dynasty's military power is so great that even Tianmu has specially released a video to show it to the world."
"Since Tianmu has approved my arrangement of the Jiedushi, then someone among my subordinates has advised me to adjust the Jiedushi's power?"
"It seems that no adjustment is needed."
"After all, under my arrangement, the Jiedushi can ensure the safety of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, they can check and balance each other so as not to get out of control."
“The system is perfect!”
……
Li Longji felt that there was nothing wrong with his arrangements for the military governors.
But many other ancient people who saw this picture through the sky do not think so.
Those ancient people who lived after the Tang Dynasty naturally knew the destructiveness of the Anshi Rebellion.
The Anshi Rebellion was initiated by the Jiedushi.
Not only did it cause the Tang Dynasty to decline.
It even caused the entire China to move from openness to conservatism, and to go down from its peak.
When they saw the powerful military governor on the sky curtain, they could only sigh.
And the ancient people before Li Longji.
Although they did not know about the An-Shi Rebellion, when they saw the powerful military force of Li Longji's Tang Dynasty on the sky screen, they gradually discovered the hidden dangers.
So there are some concerns.
Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng looked at the Tang Dynasty's troop deployment on the sky and raised his own questions.
"These Jiedushi, especially those in the northwest and northeast, are really strong in military strength."
"For example, the Fanyang Jiedushi has nearly 100,000 troops!"
"In comparison, the Central Army only has 120,000 troops."
"This requires Li Longji to achieve a very high level of checks and balances between the various Jiedushi."
"Otherwise, if a military governor starts a rebellion, tens of thousands of veteran soldiers who have fought on the border for a long time will attack us."
"Even if it is not enough to shake the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely cause chaos in the area."
"It will seriously damage the vitality of a country."
Crown Prince Fusu standing aside.
He was arranged to sit next to Ying Zheng, which made it convenient for him to learn about Ying Zheng's governance and to establish Fusu's authority.
Fusu looked at the distribution map of military governors during the Tianbao period on the sky curtain.
Naturally, I had the same doubts in my mind.
He expressed his thoughts to Ying Zheng:
"Jiedushi, if we look at the literal meaning of Jiedushi, then the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty in later generations were high-ranking officials!"
"He is in charge of a place and is the head of a self-sufficient army."
“Is this a problem?”
"Although the most elite army of our Great Qin is not in the center."
"But all the supplies for the Great Wall Army come from the central support of our Great Qin."
"It's probably not the same concept as the Jiedushi of later generations."
Ying Zheng nodded and said:
"Well, you're right."
"In the later Tang Dynasty, the central government was weak and the local military was strong."
"The Guanzhong Legion of our Great Qin is not as strong as the Great Wall Legion."
"But how reliable is my Great Qin Great Wall Army?"
“It is quite high and completely under central control.”
Ying Zheng felt that this was where the Qin Dynasty was superior to the later Tang Dynasty.
But Ying Zheng also said:
"But it seems that the local military governors have too many troops."
“But in fact, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"After all, it is written on the sky curtain that Li Longji in the future is a great leader and a strong contender for the title of the greatest emperor in history."
"Such people are masters of politics, and they naturally understand the principle of checks and balances."
"I guess the Jiedushis who have large numbers of troops in these places will frequently mobilize them."
"And they will each interweave their forces to form a check and balance."
"There will not be a situation where one side's military governor continues to expand and has too many troops exceeding the standard."
"In this way, even if a local governor rebels, it will be quickly suppressed."
"Considering the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty in the future, even if it is a rebellion of tens of thousands of people, it will not have much impact on the Tang Dynasty."
Ying Zheng gave his own opinion.
It is believed that the Jiedushi system of the later Tang Dynasty had certain hidden dangers.
But not fatal.
After all, Ying Zheng also believed that an emperor as powerful as Li Longji would never commit the crime of allowing the military governors to command their own troops.
Let the same person serve as several Jiedushi.
Letting foreigners serve as military governors with heavy troops is a crime that can be fatal.
The Jiedushi checked and balanced each other and could be transferred at any time.
Everything should be under Li Longji's control.
I have been working day and night and forgetting to eat. My family has put a lot of pressure on me. Thanks for subscribing, brothers!
