The first batch of breech guns developed and manufactured by Li An have long been assigned to the envoys of each section, and the breech guns developed in the later period have been equipped with the Longwu army in the capital, but just a few months ago, the imperial court realized the importance of Anxi, and deliberately transferred an artillery brigade in the capital to Anxi to change the city to enhance the strength of the Anxi army.

And in this way, Gao Xianzhi's strength was naturally greatly strengthened, and only then did he have the courage to look at the world, so as not to take the western countries in his eyes.

After a while of greetings, Ang Lee, accompanied by Gao Xianzhi and the stationmaster of the Diaocheng Railway Station, visited the entire Diachangcheng Railway Station and commended the relevant personnel.

At this time, the railway has begun to be built, from the city of exchange to the west, at least dozens of miles have been repaired, in addition, the railway is laid in sections, in addition to the departure of the city, Bodaling, Broken Leaf City, Julan City, Talas City, Tuozhi City and other locations, there are craftsmen who lay the railway.

Each point is laid in two directions at the same time, so that the railway can be repaired at the fastest speed, as for the various materials needed for the tracks, most of them are produced locally, and a small number of core materials are transported from Chang'an City, and all kinds of craftsmen are also evenly distributed, striving to do not work in the nest.

In the city of change, Li Ang only stayed for one day, and then took the latest car that had just been invented, and rushed to the northwest of Bodaling, which is a very important core place that must be paid attention to.

"Li Shilang, the front is Bodaling, and our army is stationed in Bodaling with five hundred men and horses, which is enough to control here."

An Anxi Army general spoke.

"Bodaling, with mountains on both sides, is a dangerous place! After Bodaling is the Broken Leaf City, which is the westernmost military town in my Tang Dynasty, and the Bodaling is the hub connecting the Swap City and the Broken Leaf City, it is indeed necessary to pay special attention to it, and the railway should also have a railway station here, and there are too few soldiers and horses stationed here, so there should be more soldiers and horses. ”

Li An said.

"What Li Shilang said is that in the past, the roads were inconvenient and the Anxi army was insufficient, but now the railway has been opened to the city of Diaochang, and the imperial court has also promised to deploy more soldiers and horses in Anxi, so that more soldiers and horses can naturally be drawn out and stationed in Bodaling."

An accompanying official said.

"Well, that's good, such a critical position, the guard must be strengthened, although there is no force to dare to provoke the Tang Empire now, but there should be no less guards, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, the soldiers and horses stationed here are also responsible for the safety of the railway for dozens of miles before and after, to prevent someone from destroying the tracks, soon, the imperial court will allocate patrol cars here, and the soldiers can drive patrol cars to patrol dozens of miles before and after."

Li An said.

Now, it is true that no military force can beat the Tang Empire, but it is necessary to prevent someone from destroying the railroad tracks, after all, the rails can be sold for money, if the rails are destroyed, it will cause great damage to the economy of Datang and the surrounding countries, the railway must not only be laid, but also reliably maintained, the railway lines in the territory of Datang, of course, must be maintained by the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and on the railway lines abroad, the Tang Dynasty also has to send soldiers and horses to guard it, but it needs the assistance of soldiers and horses from various countries, after all, Datang has limited soldiers and horses, and it cannot be expected that Datang's soldiers and horses will guard the railway lines of all small countries.

"Li Shilang, the team going to Shiguo has just sent back news that someone deliberately sabotaged the laying of the railway, and our skilled craftsmen have lost a lot."

An official ran over to report.

"What, there is such a thing, hateful, so hateful, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to sabotage the construction of the railway in the Tang Dynasty, as long as these saboteurs are caught, they will be severely punished, I will go to Du Hu and send troops to destroy these beasts."

A military general shouted.

Li An didn't expect someone to sabotage the railway so soon, and he was slightly surprised, but in Li An's opinion, this is not a problem at all, and a small sabotage activity cannot stop Datang from building a railway.

Soon, Gao Xianzhi rushed to hear the news, and vented a little bit, with the intention of immediately raising 100,000 troops to go to Shiguo to destroy the thieves.

"Gao Duhu doesn't have to be angry, it's just a few little thieves, where is the need for Gao Duhu to go out in person, we still wait and see, I believe that Shi Guo will definitely be able to catch the murderer, and the Tang Dynasty craftsman will give an explanation."

Li An said.

Although I don't understand who deliberately sabotaged the construction of the railway, Li An feels that such a trivial matter can be handled by the Shiguo court, if they can't handle it well, or turn to the Tang Empire for help, it is reasonable for the Tang Dynasty to make another move, otherwise, sending troops over will make Shiguo very faceless, after all, people are also a kingdom, and they also need dignity.

"Okay, listen to Li Shilang, the people of the Tang Dynasty were killed in Shiguo, and Shiguo must give us a satisfactory explanation, otherwise, I will personally lead troops into Shiguo to seek justice for the people killed in Datang."

Gao Xianzhi is a military general, his anger is naturally relatively large, and he is also relatively belligerent, after all, only by fighting can he make military merits, improve his status, and leave his name in history, if he is unknown, how can history remember this person?

In the next few days, Li An set off from Bodaling, went to the next stop Broken Leaf City to inspect, although this section of the road is not paved with railroad tracks, and the road conditions are not very good, but Li An can't feel it, the car he is riding, the shock absorption system is particularly good, even if the road conditions are particularly poor, sitting in the car can not feel it, only a slight shaking can be felt, and this slight shaking, just like a baby sitting on a rocking car, is very comfortable, plus there is a fleshy and soft little Lori lying in his arms, this feeling is even more refreshing, Just to consider safety and not put too much pressure on the driver, Ang Lee didn't make much action in the car, at most he just touched and kissed it.

After all, life comes first, in case they make too much movement, the driver will inevitably look back curiously, so it is easy to cause a rollover accident, and there is such a story in the news of later generations.

The boss took a good friend to play in the back of the driver's seat, and the driver was driving inattentively in front of him, and frequently turned back to watch the show, and the result was that the car was destroyed and killed, and it also made the news, which made the whole world know.

Ang Lee is living so nourishingly now, do you want to have more than a few decades? Therefore, they will not choose to make a big move.

The speed of the car is fast, but in order to take care of the retinue on horseback and on foot, Ang Lee has the driver drive very slowly, which also reduces bumps and increases safety and comfort.

Along the way, through the transparent tempered glass windows, Ang Lee saw a strong exotic style, yellow sand, next door, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, all the scenery that I saw in the TV series in my previous life, I have experienced it all here, this immersive feeling is very wonderful.

In short, Ang Lee's mood is very good, this is not like an investigation at all, but like a tour, and besides, he is still traveling with an exotic little Lori, which is really wonderful.

Broken Leaf City is the westernmost military town of the Tang Dynasty Anxi Protectorate, and it is also the westernmost border of the Tang Dynasty, which is the end point of the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, but it is by no means the end of the influence of the Tang Dynasty, relying on the Broken Leaf City, the influence of the Tang Empire can be extended to the west to a far away, and the countries in the west know that the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, and they all admire the cultural and scientific crystallization of the Tang Empire, and send a large number of students to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, to study various cultural knowledge.

However, students from all over the world can only learn some of the most superficial knowledge, the most core and powerful knowledge, Datang will not teach them, these core knowledge, even the people of Datang can not learn casually, only the most reliable people, the most loyal people to the Tang Empire, can study in this area, and their personal freedom will be restricted to a certain extent.

For example, Ang Lee, who seems to be free, can inspect wherever he wants, the means of transportation are also extremely high-end, and he can be accompanied by beautiful women, but there are quite a lot of bodyguards around Ang Lee, at least more than 100 elite soldiers, these people are indeed protecting themselves, but at the same time, they have also invisibly formed a kind of surveillance, so that no matter what Ang Lee does, they can know, in addition, whether there will be people who specialize in monitoring themselves, it is really hard to say.

However, as long as the mentality is calm, it is not a big deal, being monitored means being protected, ordinary ordinary people, even if they want to be monitored, no one will monitor, after all, surveillance is also costly, for no reason, who will be idle to monitor an unimportant person.

Soon, Broken Leaf City arrived, looking at the large-scale city, Li An's mood was very surging, Broken Leaf City is an important town set up by the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and it is also the farthest border city fortified in the western region by the dynasties of China for thousands of years, and it is the place where the Chinese people of later generations are haunted by their dreams, and many later generations of Chinese people feel that Broken Leaf City is the westernmost territory of China, and it should not be foreign, based on the fact that when the Tang Dynasty, Broken Leaf City was once the territory of China, so it should be the land of China.

Of course, there are many people who have this kind of thinking, in addition to the Chinese people, many foreign people also have this kind of thinking, and all these patriots have the same thinking, that is, to take their empire as the boundary when it was once the most glorious.

For example, a certain stick country, on the grounds that it occupied a large area of land such as Liaodong at its most glorious time, believed that the northeast area of China should be all their territory.

The monkey country in the south proposed that the south of the Yangtze River in China was their land under the pretext that thousands of years ago, there were activities south of the Yangtze River in China.

There is also the even more outrageous country on horseback, based on the most glorious empire that their ancestors have ever built, believing that the whole of Eurasia should be theirs, and this of course includes the whole of China.

Although these ideas are somewhat extreme, they all express certain aspects of human nature, such as patriotic feelings, which are very common in later generations.

It is difficult for you to imagine that a person who has not undergone any education will have patriotic thoughts, which is impossible.

And the essence of patriotism is to love oneself, because only when everyone loves this country, can this country be strong and stable, so that as the people of this country, can live happily and safely, and have a better life.

Of course, at some point, people's patriotism will be greatly tested, for example, when faced with the temptation of the interests of the enemy's country, whether or not they can stick to their own heart is a great test of a person's conscience.

Many originally very outstanding talents, the pride of the motherland, but in the end, because of the temptation of interests, chose to be traitors, of course, if the country is really sold, then these traitors turn around and become heroes again.

After all, it is an eternal truth that no matter what era you are in, the successful will always be justified, and the loser will always be labeled as sinful.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, so many ministers and generals surrendered to the Braided Dynasty, and finally helped the Braided Dynasty to establish a new dynasty, these people became the founding fathers of the Great Braided Dynasty, and the people who surrendered to the Japanese were reduced to national sinners because of the comprehensive defeat of the Japanese Invaders. This is really puzzling, and maybe it can only be explained by the fact that everyone is originally a family.

Whether it is a person or a dynasty, when you succeed, there will be a bunch of pedants wearing glasses, using various theories to prove how inevitable your success is, it is Wenqu Xing descending to earth, etc., and when you fail, there will also be many people, citing various examples, to prove that your failure is inevitable, delusional success is whimsical, and it is a toad who wants to eat swan meat.

In other words, whether it is success or failure, there will always be a group of people who will study behind the scenes to verify the rationality of success or failure and serve the ruling class.

However, no matter what, Li An is a citizen of Huaxia, and his way of thinking naturally has to be on the side of Huaxia, so it is an unchangeable fact that Broken Leaf City is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and many cities in the west of Broken Leaf City can also be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, even if they cannot be merged, they must accept the control of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, how can they reflect the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

"Li Shilang, there is news from Talas City."

An officer trotted over to report.

Although he didn't say what the news was, Ang Lee knew that it must be related to the sabotage of the railway, and stepped forward to meet it.
