Feng Ang's concession was rational. At least under the current circumstances, it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to have a local emperor who was as high as the sky and as far away as the emperor. If a flying boat could travel five thousand miles a day, what place would be beyond the control of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty?
Woolen cloth?
Giving up military power or giving up civil rights is definitely a rational idea.
Feng An was about to continue speaking when he saw Eunuch Gao running in and whispering a few words in front of Li Er.
Something happened?
Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but sit down for a moment.
Eunuch Gao ran and soon brought someone in.
He was a man dressed very strangely and had a face he had never seen before.
If others don't know him, how could Feng Ang not know him? This is his personal attendant.
"Report! An urgent telegram was sent from Guangzhou. A merchant ship was missing. Four ships were sent out to search for it for eight days. They thought it was a storm and didn't take it seriously. But they didn't find it for eight days. Just now,
I don’t know who wrote in that trading house, asking for 200 guan to redeem the person, and another 500 guan to redeem the ship!”
Feng Ang's face turned blue.
It's not because some people dare to mess around in Lingnan, but because they dare to report such big things here.
What kind of place is this? There are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. The officials in this room who are lower than myself can be counted on one hand. This is the place where the top officials of the Tang Dynasty meet. It’s a boat! That’s it.
Are ten ships worthy of reporting here? As a follower, my skills are top-notch, but my mind really makes me speechless.
What's more, if there are bandits in your own territory, it will be a shame in front of the governors.
Feng An left his seat after several cases and walked in the middle.
He was prepared to apologize for allowing some trivial matter to disturb the meeting. He was prepared to apologize.
"Mr. Feng, what kind of cargo is on the ship? Was it raped at sea or at a dock somewhere? Who did it? Someone from Lingnan or someone from Baiyue. Call them back first, give them money, and get people on the ship."
Please come back, I want to hear what happened in detail from those who came back alive."
Li Yuanxing spoke, which was a bit surprising.
"Is Wulang planning to use this as an excuse to start a war?" Li Jing asked.
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "Once sea trade rises, pirates are absolutely indispensable. I won't rush to start a war just because of this kind of thing, but some things still need to be done. Brother Emperor, I want to do some
Arrangement and adjustment.”
"Go ahead and do it, Wu Lang!" Li Er supported Li Yuanxing.
"Feng Gong, please quickly transfer Dai Zhi of your Feng family. First, ten members of the elite team will go to General Tiance's Mansion for training." After Li Yuanxing said to Feng An, he immediately turned to the scribe in charge of recording and said: "Record, transfer Qin
The guards of the royal palace and the close guard Zhongren went to Tiance Mansion to prepare for punishment. They led ten Japanese soldiers to guard the team and recruited five hundred Japanese warriors to form the Marine Corps. They led the Dandong Navy Lieutenant General Li Shar and selected five outstanding captains and two gunners.
Ten people are sent to Admiral Tiance's Mansion for training. Take the right armed guard Cheng Huailiang and train in Yaozhou. Transfer Tiance's red-blooded guard Pei Chengguang back to Chang'an to learn about the Marine Guards!"
After Li Yuanxing gave the order, the clerk held it up for Li Yuanxing to take another look at, and saw that there was nothing wrong. Then he held it in front of Li Er with both hands. He couldn't let Li Er pass such an order.
After Li Er saw it, he just said lightly: "Wu Lang, Marine Guards, how do you organize it?"
"Return to the Ministry of War. What do you think, brother emperor?"
"Return to the royal guards for the time being. Transfer the left and right prison guards and marine guards to the temporary command of Tiance Mansion. Although Chang'an City is larger, there are so many elite guards just guarding the gates, which is somewhat wasteful. The guards of Chang'an City,
It has been handed over to the guards of the Jingzhao Mansion. If necessary, the Qianniu Guards and Wulang can be sent to fight in the frontier. From then on, the Forbidden Army will be guarded by the Yulin Army Secondary Guards, and the replacement will be completed in one year." Li Er is also adjusting the strategic layout.
There are too many soldiers in Chang'an City now, and there are not enough soldiers to fight the war.
Yulin's combat prowess can be said to be a legend. In the Battle of Liaodong, Yulin swept across three thousand miles and no one was injured, let alone died.
Li Yuanxing's Yulin Army has very few formal members. The largest number are the Yulin Second Guards, who are candidates for the Yulin Army or people from the early training camp. The combat power of these people can at least be equal to ten. Facing ordinary Goguryeo soldiers, one person can
A thousand people dare to fight a hundred thousand people. These are the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty.
It has been ten years since the four guards of the Forbidden Army. These people have not been on the battlefield for a long time.
They are no longer the strongest.
Li Yuanxing nodded, these are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. Even if they are not sent to the battlefield in the future, the old will lead the new, they can still play a great role. He has lost this favor.
"Feng Gong, next June, I will have 1,800 warships. I want fifty of them."
"It will be completed!" Feng Ang agreed without saying a word.
Li Yuanxing did not say anything about starting a war, but all these actions were preparations for starting a war.
"Director Li of Huainan has twenty warships with four thousand materials." Li Yuanxing asked Li Shentong again, which stumped Li Shentong. After thinking about it again and again, Li Shentong said: "It depends on whether Feng Gong can provide me with more wood.
The wood I have in Huainan cannot make good ships. But Feng Gong also has fifty ships to build, and His Highness the King of Qin has put you in a difficult position this time."
It's much easier to speak directly than to go around in circles.
"Jiannan Road, wood for shipbuilding. How much can you provide?"
"We will provide it with all our strength!" The Governor of Jiannan Road did not hesitate at all. "Jiannan Road has soaked 100,000 cubic meters of camphor wood with oil since eight months ago. Your Highness can transport it at any time if necessary."
Jiannan Road is very powerful, perhaps because Li Yuanxing reformed the Tang Dynasty a lot, but he did not do any major things to Jiannan Road. Jiannan Road is the land of Shu, and it is difficult for Shu Road to restrict the development of Jiannan Road.
Injury.
"Actually, Mingyue has always wanted to build a steel factory in Lizhou. But there is no way to transport the steel-making machines produced here in Chang'an. The take-off weight of the flying boat, even if it only carries one piece of equipment, is overweight. Some of it still can't be transported
It must be dismantled and transported as a whole. Let's do this. When the new spaceship is tested, Lizhou will make preparations to build a steel plant and first build the railway from Lizhou to Chengdu."
"Jiannan Road, the whole road, both officials and businessmen will go all out!"
It can be said that the road to the middle of Shu has been built since the end of the Han Dynasty, but there has never been a really good road. The Shu people dreamed of a fast road that would allow them to transport goods out of Chang'an.
goods are shipped in.
"Well, the section from Chang'an to Liangzhou will be repaired first. Finally, the section from Liangzhou to Lizhou will probably cost people's lives!"
"I, Jiannan Dao, are responsible for this section!" The governor of Jiannan Dao had determination in his eyes. This section would be the section from Hanzhong to Guangyuan in later generations. Although this section does not have high mountains and deep waters, it is the section most prone to landslides. It needs to be reinforced.
, but when the road is opened, landslides can easily occur and cause a large number of deaths.
That's why Li Yuanxing said that it was filled in by someone else.
"Old Gao, please don't be cruel first. From Chang'an to Liangzhou, it's a three-hundred-mile mountain road. Do you think it will be easy in the Qinling Mountains?" The Governor of Shannan Road saw that the atmosphere was a bit solemn and said with a smile.
"It's not easy. It doesn't matter if you spend more money. There won't be too many casualties. The route has been designed. The total length is 279, of which 95%. I want to make an earth-burrowing dragon and open a cave.
Two hundred and fifty miles, open it in one go. If you can live in Luoyang, you can live in Chengdu!"
After a while, the Governor of Jiannan Road knelt down to Li Yuanxing: "A certain generation of people in Sichuan thank your highness!"
"Quick, get up!" Li Yuanxing was startled. The governor of Jiannan Road was going to be called the emperor's uncle. Among the royal family, he was Li Yuan's cousin in terms of seniority, and he also had another identity. He was Li Youliang.
Li Shuliang's brother, Li Deliang.
Li Youliang was beheaded by Li Yuanxing, and Li Er also beheaded Li Shuliang, who was in Lingdong at the time.
But they did not touch him. Instead, he was allowed to sit in the position of governor of Jiannan Road, and he was allowed to sit securely. There was also a letter to calm him down. In the letter, Li Er wrote that the law of the country is greater than the law of the family.
Li Dao knew in his conscience that his elder brother and younger brother were too crazy. Just setting up a traffic jam in Liangzhou was an act seeking death.
He was instrumental in the founding of the country.
He was not a military commander, but a civil servant. With his words, he persuaded several aristocratic families in Bashu to support him, and persuaded seven states and thirty-eight counties in Bashu to surrender without a fight. He also captured a large official position in Chengdu.
He was not greedy for money, and the only thing he liked was calligraphy and painting. He was not very talented as an official, but he knew that stabilizing Jiannan meant dedicating himself to the Tang Dynasty.
People are good people, but they are members of the Tang clan if they are not capable.
Seeing that the people in Bashu were suffering and the people in Chang'an were prosperous, he wanted to do something.
Thanks to Li Yuanxing, he was sincere and decided to build the railway between Chang'an and Bashu. The decision to build the Jiannan Road resulted in 10,000 casualties.
Li Yuanxing was frightened when he knelt down. It was not because the other party was the emperor's uncle, but because Li Yuanxing was afraid that this good person would make a mistake. Road construction was a technical job, and if it really cost people's lives, no matter how many people would not be able to build the road.
Quickly helping the person up, Li Yuanxing grabbed Li Deliang's hands: "Uncle, build a steel factory first. Make good steel, and then we can talk about building roads. First build the road from Guangyuan to Chengdu, I have chosen the route for you.
, there is no need to open up the mountain, just build it along the mountain side in one go. There are only a few places that are difficult to walk, so we have to blow up the mountain to build the road."
"Wu Lang, I must cultivate to the middle of Shu. When I came to Chang'an, tens of thousands of people in Shu sat in front of my house all night. For three years, I have stored food on Jiannan Road for three years. When the road is opened,
These grains will help Wulang conquer the Western Regions!"
Chengdu is a big granary, but the grain cannot be transported out.
Li Yuanxing leaned close to Li Deliang's ear and said: "While the food is in storage, when the road is built, we can expand the land thousands of miles to the southwest!"
"Ah!" Li Deliang was startled, and Li Yuanxing quickly covered his mouth: "Don't say it, don't say it."
Li Deliang nodded vigorously.
An honest man, a good man, a good man. But he smiles like a child.
"Brother Imperial, that's it for today. We still need to discuss the matter of the official office. The adjustment of various officials will be discussed after the Ministry of Personnel comes out with a statement. Tomorrow I am going to Yaozhou. There is a big guy.
Brother Chen has been preparing for more than half a year, and the time has almost come to an end. He always has to see it with his own eyes." It was not the first day that Li Yuanxing had an idea about Shu Dao, and he was not an unprepared person. That machine can be said to be
It is the pinnacle of the mechanical craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
