In addition to this historical background, there is another point...
Like King Luo Bin of Mazhou, Li Sheng's great victory over the Turks quietly inspired countless young people, just as Guan Erye, who was sworn in the Taoyuan of the Three Kingdoms, became the idol of later folk heroes...
And Ouyang Tong is one of them, so he will join the army.
However, not long after joining the army, I thought that the Turks were gone, and I would probably go to conquer Rome or Arabia in the future - wouldn't it be satisfying to be granted a title of prince for thousands of miles? At the worst, I would have to conquer Goguryeo or Tubo or something.
But soon Ouyang Tong gradually realized that he might have thought too much. With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Goguryeo... not to mention that they were in the bag, at least the problem was not big.
That would probably mean confronting Rome and Arabia, and maybe... maybe even traveling to the Americas.
However, Ouyang Tong accepted these and even said politely...
For these Han ministers and Tang generals, this was the most romantic thing in their lives.
However, Ouyang Tong really didn't expect that for the first time in his life, he would be sent abroad on an errand, but he would be following a few dandy boys to farm...
But forget it, now I have been stuffed with a bag of gold and silver, doing this stupid thing...
Ouyang Tong's father is Ouyang Xun, and Ouyang Xun is the first person to write regular script. Regular script, as an artistic style, has been regarded as a synonym for clannish character since ancient times. In other words, in short, Ouyang Tong has been reading Xun Ling Liu Xiang since he was a child.
Those who have grown up with this kind of allusion will naturally feel very unhappy.
For a moment, Ouyang Tong even wanted to send a letter directly to ask His Majesty what his intentions were.
But... after thinking about it, when I came out for farming, I got the land first, and it all belonged to the Tang Dynasty, so that didn't seem to be a big problem. Besides...
Anyway, when I came out, I didn't expect these boys to do anything.
Since everyone has left, I just need to take care of myself first...
If the army comes out to cultivate, no matter how much it loses... I think, it shouldn't be much of a loss.
With this somewhat contradictory mood, Ouyang Tong shook his head and started building the camp.
After all, no matter what you say, I am here to farm.
You haven't noticed that Mangbaicheng next door is now a big city. It may be a little less interesting than important towns such as Chang'an, Hangzhou, and Lingzhou, but it is no different than other prefectures, counties, and cities.
It's a prosperous place.
How long has this been? Just a year and a half!
Women are like this, foreign women are like this. In Li Sheng's world, Ouyang Tong once died because of his remonstrance. He is a top-notch person. Although he has doubts in his heart when he works, he still tries his best.
But then again, the group of good brothers who came with him and were in charge of several other camps were different from him. So the people who ran the camp were not doing their best, but the dedicated efforts of special mothers.
after all……
Ouyang Tong came from a real scholarly family, but he himself was an upright gentleman, while the other Imperial Guardsmen who came with him were all rough guys. As long as they could make a living, make money, eat meat and drink wine, they would decisively throw off their arms and get started.
So within two months... changes occurred that surprised even Asmin.
The area of the several camps outside has expanded by about three times in just two months. The fences and walls are so strong and thick that they can be said to be impregnable.
Of course, based on the level of the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty, it might be almost impossible to resist. After all, the Tang Empire's army did not attack Wubao in various places in a day or two. They had rich experience and a variety of methods, including grenades, etc., but for
The efficiency of resisting the Tianzhu elephant soldiers without grenades is still very high.
This made Asmin very satisfied. After all, with a group of warriors expanding land and cultivating in the surrounding areas, the risk of military problems in Mangbai City would be even smaller.
And Mangbaicheng itself...
Asmin was very bold. Before these people came, she had already demolished all the walls around the city, directly following the Lingzhou model.
The risk of doing this is not small, but...there are several reasons.
The first is because Tianzhu has suffered several defeats, and there should be a prediction of peace in three to five years. The second is that recently, maritime merchants have actually trafficked cement, which is very surprising. You have to know the price of cement.
As you can imagine, the value density is very low.
However, because there are settlements everywhere nowadays, there are really many maritime merchants who need warehouses overseas and want to use cement to build some docks and the like... When you are alone overseas, the sense of security is simply not to mention.
As for Asmin, because she has the cash cow of Damas Valley Iron Mine on hand, not to mention her deep wealth, she will naturally have to use cement.
The location arrangement is reasonable. It is impossible to completely block Tianzhu's military intervention like an AT force field, but it is not a problem if it has the power to fight.
A little more...
To this day, the deeper Asmin gets to know the Tang Empire, the more she admires other aspects besides things...for example, people, for example, the wild land in Lingzhou that is considered a frontier for the Tang Empire.
location, and the courage not to build a city wall.
Of course, it would be better now that there is a circle of military towns around the perimeter, because with Asmin's funds, she can not rush to buy cement to strengthen the city and build a bunker, but can directly ask the colonists outside to buy land.
, and this group of thieves continued to expand while selling their territory. Anyway, His Majesty did not stop him, and Tianzhu did not send troops...
Besides, he sent troops. Since everyone is a member of the imperial army from the Tang Dynasty, who should be afraid of him?
This is the real Forbidden Army in service!
but……
While Asmin, Ouyang Tong, Mangbai City, and a series of camps around the city were busy making money to acquire land, on the other side...
But he said that the children went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers, and quietly returned to their home nests, receiving cordial condolences from Wang Jing, Pei Ji and other big bosses.
After all, it's still a wild place for a child to go out so far away, and the suffering he's going to suffer is simply not to mention.
Just think about it and you will know, what are the conditions outside Mangbai City, and what are the conditions in the beautiful land of the Central Plains? There are not even a few servants outside the door, they are all a bunch of arrogant soldiers with no emotional intelligence. How can the experience be better?
Weird.
This makes a group of elderly people feel distressed, so don't mention it.
But after coming back...
The follow-up question will come, because after all, it was Li Er who was canonized.
You said that it's okay to provide support from your family, and it's okay to call you back for a reunion during the holidays, but it doesn't make sense to take you home for a long time.
Since he was conferred overseas, how could he return to the Tang Dynasty at will? You just let the enemy invade.
It doesn’t make sense, so I definitely have to recruit and resettlement...
