The Tang army had actually completed the occupation of the northern part of the Qin State. The aboriginal people in these areas had no idea of resistance. They had been somewhat numbed by the war.
The Western Wall Fortress in the far west is still resisting, but the battle there is no longer relevant. As a border area of Qin, the Western Wall Fortress itself does not have much industrial base, and fighting against the Tang Dynasty is just a joke.
After Liu Zhian killed his entire family, he resolutely prepared to represent Da Qin in resisting the final attack of the Tang Empire.
As a result, his army only resisted for two days before it collapsed under the crushing force of the Tang Empire's armored forces. The shortage of ammunition was one of the reasons, and another reason was that the Qin army itself had lost its determination to fight.
A cannonball fell, and a regiment of troops chose to surrender. Hundreds and thousands of people raised the white flag after encountering the Tang Army's reconnaissance troops.
When the remaining positions of the Qin army were no longer two or three kilometers deep, Liu Zhian ordered his troops to resemble the Tang army, but he himself chose to end his life honorably.
His body was handed over to the Tang army, and this battle was generally regarded by later historians as the last battle for the Tang Empire to unify the Western Continent.
As for the battle at the Western Wall Fortress, many people are not even willing to mention it. It was synonymous with the madness and despair of the old nobles. Whether it was the intensity of the resistance or the final result, it was not as good as Liu Zhian's anticlimactic ending.
Give it a try.
With the surrender of Emperor Qin Yingduo, the countries on the Eastern Continent gradually became more nervous. An unprecedented monster was turning its attention to them.
Yes, the Tang Empire was too powerful. It was the first huge country to complete the unification of almost the entire continent. If Tang Mo could mobilize all the power of the entire Western Continent, then he would be worthy of his name.
The most powerful man in the world.
However, only the senior officials within the Tang Empire knew that their Emperor actually had no specific action plan to invade the Eastern Continent.
Although the General Staff has drawn up several landing plans, and many of them seem quite feasible, their emperor is still not eager to let his troops enter any country on the Eastern Continent.
Tang Mo is trying his best to make his own empire stronger, rather than making it look bigger. The territory is almost useless to Tang Mo now, and no matter how large the population is, it is just a burden to feed.
Are population and land resources? Of course they are, but if they cannot be properly utilized, then population and land will also become a burden.
Tang Mo needs to turn his population into an industrial population and a market that can support his continued industrialization and modernization, not just a group of guys who want to eat.
At the same time, the land he needed was fertile land that could bring profits to the empire, not barren land where troops were stationed and wasted money.
Therefore, after annexing Chu, Shu, and Qin in one fell swoop, Tang Mo believed that the most important thing was to absorb and naturalize these areas. Continuing expansion was obviously inappropriate.
Therefore, a large number of Tang army troops still stayed in these areas to maintain stability, instead of quickly gathering towards the east coast to prepare to kill the countries on the eastern mainland.
Because millions of Tang troops remained in the newly occupied lands, the stability of these areas was basically guaranteed. At the same time, the Tang version of the Marshall Plan began.
The Tang Empire used almost all its power to transfer goods, food, capital and technology to these areas.
As the heartland area and the first to be controlled by the Tang Empire, the Dahua region is also recovering at the fastest speed. Production and construction are being carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of elite soldiers and generals selected by the Datang Empire.
New factories have begun to operate one after another, newly built roads are connected, farmers are working hard in the farmland, and towering chimneys are emitting billowing black smoke that blocks the sky and the sun.
After the Western Wall Fortress was captured by the Tang Kingdom, carloads of orc slaves began to be transported from the Orc Empire to the Tang Empire. The orcs could not wait to sacrifice their lives for their beautiful new life.
They can work in the Tang Empire for more than ten years, or even decades, so that they or their descendants can go to a happy country far away on the endless sea.
I heard that you can see the ocean there, there are endless forests and trees, there is abundant water and it is free... As long as these conditions are met, for the orcs, it will be the legendary divine realm.
The Tang Empire, which is in urgent need of labor, also needs orc labor. With these laborers at their disposal, the speed of infrastructure construction in the Datang Empire can be increased to a terrifying level.
Raising tall buildings from the ground is just a basic operation, and the speed of highway construction of hundreds of kilometers a day makes people excited. It was really the pinnacle of collaboration between slaves and machines. At the cost of 270 people dying from overwork, the Tang Empire created the world's largest
A terrifying record of paving 150 kilometers of highway in one day.
That's right, on average, one kilometer of road requires no more than two orc laborers. Such a terrifying loss rate is the guarantee for the Tang State to quickly complete infrastructure construction.
However, this is also because some of the roads built by the Tang Dynasty were in the Chu region. After all, there were many mountains there, so it was very difficult to build roads.
Tang officials did not give up building these places because of these difficult objective conditions. On the contrary, they devoted great enthusiasm and regarded improving the economic conditions of these places as a challenge.
They took His Majesty the Emperor's slogan of building roads first to get rich as a guideline, and they also believed deeply that roads strengthened the empire's ability to control local areas. Therefore, the first reaction of these Tang officials after receiving the money was to build roads.
While building roads, these young people who had reaped the dividends of industrialization naturally believed in industrialization, and many factories began to be built.
Deep in the mountains and old forests? Then build your own small hydropower, small thermal power...Build a machinery maintenance shop, build a small fertilizer plant - the new three small projects in the other world began to spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Then, the fruits in the mountains became treasures, and a large number of canned and dried fruit products were transported from the factory and sold to other parts of the empire.
There is no need to worry about sales at all, because in this era, everything is still in short supply. There is no need for quality or brand. Those are all things that need to be worried about in the future.
Now, as long as you produce something, it will definitely sell well in the market. If it doesn't work, just transport it to the relatively barren Shu or Qin lands, and you will definitely be able to sell it at a good price.
Even worse, they can be sent to the Orc Empire and used as export commodities for the empire, and they can also make money in exchange for slaves. In short, as long as there are products, you can't lose money in this world!
If it is close to the port and transported to the port for loading and transportation to the Eastern Continent, you can make a lot of money and bring countless jobs to the local area.
In short, working hard to improve production capacity is now the top priority of the officials of the Tang Empire, and the plan to conquer the distant Eastern Continent is a matter for the navy - anyway, the aircraft carriers of the Tang Empire are currently bombing Dorne...
