Chapter 1033: The court attack! (1)

So even though the Mamuliuk Legion's reputation is now at its peak and its combat power is unparalleled, it is like duckweed, running around, running wherever there is war, and never having its own roots.

If there is a "promised land", it means that the Mamulik Legion can conscript, garrison, train, collect taxes, operate... and even breed descendants to become a huge Mamulik City. The entire Mamulik Legion can break through the limit of 10,000 people and reach an unprecedented peak.

——This is exactly what all Mamuluk warriors dream of!

"grown ups!"

In an instant, all the soldiers of the Mamulik Legion became eager, and even Faisal could not keep calm. He immediately stepped forward from the rear, and his breathing became even more disordered. No one expected that the Caliph would attach so much importance to the East, let alone that in order to conquer the East, the Caliph was even willing to break the convention and offer such conditions.

"Aybeck, this is His Majesty's token. Hold this token. Harry will be sacrificing his words, take it!"

On the horse's back, the Caliph's messenger in a golden robe took out a black crescent moon-like metal token with many hollow patterns wrapped around the surface, and raised his hand and flew out:

"However, the Caliph also brought it to you. This Eastern Expedition was the only opportunity for the Mamulik Legion to obtain the promised land. If Talas cannot be soothed and the East, all the Mamulik cavalry will be slaves for generations, and will never be able to obtain any promised land again!"

"Buzz!"

Aibek and Faisal, the two supreme commanders of the Mamuliuk Legion, were shocked all over, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.

"I'm going to receive the order!"

The two of them all lowered their heads.

...

Time passed slowly, and in Khorasan City, all the great food craftsmen competed for the second-minute creation of Mamuluk's latest alien iron armor. Abumus/Lin from the front line led the army and restrained with all his strength to avoid any war with the Tang Dynasty, waiting for the arrival of the two governors in the rear and the Mamuluk Legion.

Every day, new news comes, and every day, countless soldiers rushed from Cairo and Tassus to Khorasan in the rear, met with Mamuliuk, and then went to the Black Forest to meet with Abumus/Lin.

At the same time, in the distant city of Talas, there were also flames and thick smoke. Tens of thousands of Tang army were practicing day and night in the city, constantly training. No one knew that nearly 10,000 people quickly selected from the Anxi Protectors, the Jixi Protectors, and the mercenaries of various tribes, formed the first "Modao Warrior Legion" that was unprecedented in this world, and was actively practicing.

Every day, there is a brand new atmosphere in Talas.

All the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty prepared for the war with all their might under the dispatch of Wang Chong.

A few dozen miles apart, Duwu Sili practiced the formation of celestial phenomena day and night, using the thunder in the formation of celestial phenomena to train himself and strengthen his strength to achieve a higher level.

And just twenty miles away, the Us Tibetan camp was calm, and Daqin Ruozan was sitting in the camp tent drinking tea leisurely. But no one knew that crossing the Pamir Mountains, crossing the Western Regions, and climbing the distant Us Tibetan Plateau, a new Us Tibetan army of about 40,000 people was preparing for war, gathering from various families and nobles on the plateau to prepare for Talas.

Although the four empires and three forces, although they appear to be calm and restrain each other, are more undercurrents and dangerous and bizarre than ever before!

War may break out at any time.

When the battle over Talas was covered with clouds, on the other side, in the distant Middle-earth Divine Island and the capital of the capital, there was another atmosphere at this time. In the court, the debate about Hengluo also reached a fierce point. Gao Xianzhi and Wang Chong's memorial on the increase of troops was never passed.

"Your Majesty, I object!"

In the court, Zheng Chengli, the Minister of Revenue, who had been in his destiny, walked out of the train with his hands:

"Since ancient times, I have only heard of those who have lost battles and increased troops. I have never heard of winning battles and even if they have to increase troops. Moreover, the imperial court used troops every year and spent a lot of money. The year before yesterday, the Ministry of War spent 80 million stones of grain, 10 million cattle, sheep and animals, 240 million feet of cloth, and 137 million taels of military salary. Last year, the Ministry of War spent 94 million stones of grain, 17 million cattle, sheep and animals, 360 million feet of cloth, and 157 million taels of military salary. This year, it will only consume more, and this is not included in the pensions issued by soldiers' deaths."

"The Tang Dynasty's 600,000 troops, frequent foreign wars and consumes a lot of national treasury, has become a major burden for the Tang Dynasty and the people!"

"Not only that, frequent wars have caused heavy casualties and injuries to soldiers. In order to supplement the border soldiers, they can only recruit soldiers from the people. I accidentally learned that in some places, because of the excellent quality of soldiers, the army has been recruiting for many years, and even the phenomenon of green and yellow fields inconvenient conditions has occurred!"

"good!"

As soon as the voice of Zheng Chengli, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, fell, and in another train, there was a Taichang Qing Zhou Taiqin holding a tablet in his hand, with a serious expression, and stepped out:

"Weichen just returned from the Hedong Road inspection and passed by Luzhou. There was one Zhouzhuang. I saw along the way. Except for the elderly, weak, women and children, there was no male in the whole village. Weichen was surprised and went up to ask, but he learned that all the male in Zhouzhuang were recruited and joined the army. Two years ago, Beiting suffered a defeat in the battle against the *Jie Khan Kingdom, and as a result, more than 90% of the male in the whole village were killed in that battle. About 10% of the male in the remaining male were recruited to other places, including the Anxi Protectorate."

"Although the Zhouzhuang incident is just an example, it is a microcosm of the Tang Dynasty. The Anxi Protectorate has consumed a large amount of national treasury every year, and I don't know how many soldiers are transported in the middle and earth in the inland every year. Now, Talas still has to use troops. Does it mean that the situation in Luzhou is spread all over the Tang Dynasty, and even boys are brought to the battlefield? I asked the soldiers and horses of the Anxi and Jixi prefectures to retreat to the mainland!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Zhou Tai was both arrogant and stern. One sentence attracted many civil officials in the court to echo:

"Yes, I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"
