Chapter 1505 Moron's Confidence
It took General Moren nearly a month to get familiar with the surroundings. At this moment, General Moren had seen almost everything. Part of Li Xiang's army had already set out.
This part of the army will go to Fuso and then redeploy with the army stationed in Fuso. There is no resistance in Fuso. There is even a saying within the Tang army now, that is, if you have made military achievements, you can apply to go to Fuso, which is simply a paradise for the Tang army.
Fuso's resistance to us was quite serious back then. Can you see if there are still people resisting? The rebels on several islands were killed, and the remaining people will treat you as a master. No matter what you ask, they will obey honestly, and even try to please you in various ways.
At the beginning, some people didn't believe it. After all, they had experienced several large-scale wars in Fuso, and of course they knew what the killing was like there. Even the sea water on the beach was dyed red. You say it's not that serious now, and they can serve you well after you go there. Are you kidding me?
Many people thought so, but when some of them went to Fuso, they immediately changed their statements. The actual situation was similar to the legend. The bloody part of the Fuso people was killed, and the remaining people were slaves in their bones.
When this news reached Li Xiang's ears, many people thought that Li Xiang would not believe it. After all, when he went to Fuso in the east, Li Xiang was also in the army. Li Xiang knew more about how many people were killed in Fuso than others. So if he wanted to verify this matter, Li Xiang would probably go to Fuso in person instead of listening to these people's nonsense.
But Li Xiang's next move surprised them, because Li Xiang had no intention of setting off to Fuso at all. Li Xiang thought that all these rumors in the army were correct. After all, the people of Fuso had proved in the 21st century that as long as you beat them up and scared them, you would be their real father in the future. It would rather wrong yourself than let your real father live too badly.
Therefore, the troops stationed in Fusang must have arrived in heaven. That is, from that time on, except for the meritorious personnel on the battlefield, if other people want to be transferred to Fusang, it is basically impossible. Take the troops in front of us, for example, they have been fighting fiercely in Indochina for nearly half a year. Shouldn't they be allowed to enjoy it?
What's more, all the local men in Fusang have joined the army. There are very few local men, and most women are very lonely. If our army goes there, it will just be the country of women. The superiors above turn a blind eye to these things, which can be regarded as a disguised reward for the meritorious officials of our court.
At that time, many civil officials objected to this. They believed that such things would undermine the military discipline of the Tang army. If some people fight for this in the future, how can it work? However, Li Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to them. Anyway, these people can only say a few words in the court, and the matter of military mobilization has nothing to do with them.
In fact, as long as it is properly arranged, such things are good for all armies. Don't you want to make your life more colorful? What's more, you have made contributions to the court on the battlefield, so what's wrong with rewarding you Fusang women? The court did this before, but it just didn't say it clearly.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned a blind eye to this matter, the rest of the people didn't dare to say anything. If they offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, losing their official positions would be a small matter, and they might even lose their heads, and even their descendants would be delayed in the future.
What's more, apart from the opposition of these civil officials, the generals in the army were very supportive, because they found one thing, that is, the army that had been repaired in Fusang was pulled to the battlefield again, not only did not reduce their combat effectiveness, but was even more fierce than before.
Asking the generals among them, you will know that many people still want to return to Fusang, but if you want to go back, you must fight hard on the battlefield. If you can't achieve a certain result, you may not be able to go back in this life. Of course, you can still apply for transfer after retiring.
With the words of these generals, the civil officials of the court dared not say a word. The combat effectiveness did not decline at all, but was strengthened. This is what the generals want to see most. If you civil officials continue to chatter, the combat effectiveness will decline. Will you be blamed?
The civil officials of the Tang Empire know very well that internal fighting is allowed at ordinary times, but it must not affect the surrounding battlefields. If it affects the battlefield, no matter how strong you are, no matter whose son you are, you will be punished most severely at that time, and your elders will be useless.
"I have almost withdrawn the best troops. There are only some second-line troops left here, but these troops cannot support you for too long. They will soon be withdrawn to other areas, so you will be left with one to one and a half years at most. Do you have the confidence to make this place the same as the Western Regions?"
Li Xiang and General Moren had a barbecue in the wild. There are still a lot of things in this old forest. In the past, everyone liked to barbecue on the grassland, but after arriving in the Indochina Peninsula, they found that many things here are also delicious, especially those caught at sea.
"Your Highness, to be honest, this place should be much easier than the northwest. You know that in the northwest desert, it takes one or two days to run between each tribe. If someone really wants to judge, you don’t know what he is doing at all. Often, you only know that these people are looking forward to it when they bring people to you. But it’s different here in the Indochina Peninsula. With your high-pressure control policy, I am sure that I can solve them within one to two years."
General Moren said very confidently. In fact, what he said is true. The tribes in the northwest desert are far apart, and there is no way to effectively control them. Although a military station has been built now, if they are willing to go around, they can still go around for me.
But it’s different here in the Indochina Peninsula. In addition to the mountains and forests, where don’t we have our bases at the foot of the mountain? (End of this chapter)
