Ang Lee personally drove the motorcycle that had just been researched, and circled around the R&D center at a very fast speed, kicking up puffs of smoke and dust. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After more than a dozen laps, Ang slowly slowed down and stopped the motorcycle, after this brief test, it was enough to prove the reliability of the motorcycle, at least, it can prove that the motorcycle has been developed.

The main purpose of motorcycles is nothing more than to transmit information, and it is most suitable to replace stagecoaches.

"Li Shilang, this motorcycle is really fast! Much faster than previously developed cars. ”

The craftsmen were very excited to say that they were in a great mood to be involved in the development of such a fast motorcycle.

"The reason why the motorcycle is fast is because the burden is light, there is only such a small piece, you all try it, each person rides a few laps, as long as the performance is stable, the next step is to go to mass production."

Li An said.

Under the personal guidance of Ang Lee, the craftsmen began to learn to ride motorcycles, and soon learned, after all, motorcycles are very simple, and there is no such thing as not being able to learn.

While the craftsmen were testing the reliability of motorcycles, Ang Lee went to the palace and recommended motorcycles to the imperial court to replace stagecoaches, so that the speed of information transmission would be greatly increased.

After testing the speed and reliability of motorcycles, the court officials unanimously agreed to replace the stagecoach with motorcycles, but many officials were not very comfortable with the name motorcycle, and Li Ang didn't want to change the name, so he casually found a reason to fix the name motorcycle.

The technical difficulty of motorcycles is very low, and it is not difficult to carry out large-scale mass production, and after the official order of the imperial court, Li Ang soon set up a special motorcycle production workshop, and immediately recruited craftsmen to open the door to manufacture motorcycles in large quantities.

The speed of the assembly line operation is very fast, in just over a month, the first batch of 500 motorcycles left the factory, and immediately put into the most important post station, as well as the relevant departments of the imperial court that need to quickly transmit information.

After equipping motorcycles, whether it is a post station or various departments of the imperial court, the efficiency of work has been significantly improved, after all, sometimes, the means of transportation can determine the efficiency of work.

And after the various yamen of the imperial court were equipped with motorcycles, the generals of the army were not calm, because the generals of the Tang Dynasty were keenly aware of the huge use of motorcycles in the military.

After the number of ironclad reconnaissance vehicles became popular, all border units carried out a small number of equipment for reconnaissance purposes, but the ironclad reconnaissance vehicles were too large and had relatively high requirements for the terrain, and when they encountered ravines and jungles, it would be difficult to move an inch, and this would seriously restrict the reconnaissance ability of the reconnaissance soldiers.

Motorcycles are different, this kind of transportation is relatively lightweight, even if it encounters woods, it can pass through, and its speed and flexibility are much higher than that of ironclad reconnaissance vehicles, which is a good helper for military reconnaissance.

After the military put forward the request, the imperial court thought about it for a while, and felt that the army's request was very reasonable, and there should indeed be a mobile and flexible motorcycle reconnaissance unit under the command of the major jiedu envoys, which was very important for improving the combat effectiveness of the Tang border army.

After accepting the request of the imperial court, Li An immediately began to produce military motorcycles, and there are many models, the so-called military motorcycles, that is, the durability is better, and the painting is different from ordinary commercial motorcycles, so that people can see at a glance that they are used by the army.

In terms of models, it is mainly divided into ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, as well as three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles are more flexible, and three-wheeled motorcycles are an excellent choice for officers to travel quickly, two-wheeled motorcycles, at most two people, one driving in front, the other sitting in the back, and three-wheeled motorcycles, you can sit three people, in addition to the driver and one in the back seat, and one on the side seat.

There are many border armies in the Tang Dynasty, and there are also many troops in the capital, and the demand for motorcycles is still very large, and with the current output, it will definitely not be able to meet the needs of all the military in a short period of time.

However, everyone wants to get enough motorcycles first, and they all want others to wait slowly, so since the production of military motorcycles began, various heavyweight officers have often come to visit, eager to take away all the military motorcycles produced in the workshop, and during this period, Ang Lee has also seen various types of scoundrels, big scoundrels.

"General Guo, our Longwu Army is responsible for protecting the capital and protecting Your Majesty, of course the military motorcycle must first come to our Longwu Army, you can only wait slowly."

This is the voice of Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, who came to see the production of motorcycles, and has the intention of taking the lead in fighting for motorcycles for his soldiers and horses.

When Guo Ziyi on the opposite side heard this, he was naturally very unhappy in his heart, and said: "It is true that the soldiers and horses under the command of the general are guarding the capital, but our Shuofang army is stationed at the border pass, protecting the entire Tang Dynasty, and our border pass is the most important priority configuration, if the border pass is lost, the capital will naturally be difficult to protect." ”

Lao Guo's meaning is very clear, that is, to belittle the Longwu Army, there is no real ability, once the border pass is lost, the Longwu Army in the capital will not have the ability to protect the capital at all.

"General Guo, you dare to underestimate my Long Wu Army."

Chen Xuanli was furious.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the meaning of humility is that as long as our border army can hold the frontier, the general can sit back and relax, and the soldiers and horses in the capital have no chance to fight, so naturally there is no need to give priority to allocation."

Guo Ziyi began to play tricks again, with only one purpose, that is, only his border army is the most appropriate to prioritize the allocation of resources, after all, the border army is the first line of national defense, and the soldiers and horses in the capital have no chance to fight at all.

"General Guo, the general doesn't think so, everyone is contributing to the imperial court, the general's Longwu army, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the capital, how can it lag behind the border army, besides, even if there is no motorcycle, the Hui in the north can't help your Shuofang army, it is important to give priority to the Longwu army."

"No, no, no......"

In his office, Ang Lee could hear the quarrel between Guo Ziyi and Chen Xuanli, which made Ang Lee's heart very irritable.

These two guys are the most difficult to deal with, of course, the generals of other soldiers and horses are not easy to deal with, in short, human nature is selfish, everyone wants to get the best equipment first, this is for sure, and the output of motorcycles is constant, in the case of more monks and less meat, there will naturally be competition.

"Don't quarrel with the two, it should be yours, you won't be able to run, and you won't give anything you want."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to speak.

"Li Shilang, Lao Guo has traveled all the way, you can't let me run in vain! Anyway, I'm going to have to bring back a few hundred. ”

Guo Ziyi pleaded.

"Li Shilang, we are old friends, if you give Guo Ziyi a few hundred, mine can't be less than that."

Chen Xuanli said.

Li An suddenly felt in a dilemma, the output of motorcycles could not be increased quickly, the output was almost stable, and all kinds of soldiers and horses needed equipment, favoring one over the other would definitely cause dissatisfaction, and the two guys in front of him would never think about Li An, just thinking about meeting their own needs as soon as possible, they were simply scoundrels.

"You two are all famous generals in my Tang Dynasty, how can you learn to play scoundrels, if all the generals are like you, I can't do it."

Ang Lee is also more familiar with the two, so naturally he dares to say anything, and he is not afraid of offending the two.

"Li Shilang, Lao Guo can't take care of your difficulties, if you can't get a motorcycle, Lao Guo will stay here and won't go back."

Guo Ziyi said with a smile, Li An said that he was a scoundrel, and he was really a scoundrel, of course, Chen Xuanli was not much better, and he was reluctant to leave.

"So be it! Give each of you ten first, and there will only be ten, if you love it, if you don't want it, you won't have it, and you will have to distribute it later. ”

Ang Lee made some concessions and met their little requirements, after all, they were already so scoundrels, Ang Lee had to give some face, they were all old friends, and they couldn't be too ruthless.

Although there were some regrets, seeing that Li Ang's attitude was so resolute, the two of them had no choice but to accept this fact and leave with ten motorcycles each.

With the gradual popularization of motorcycles in the army, the strength of the Tang army has been greatly enhanced again, making the armies of the surrounding small countries out of reach, and they dare not challenge the authority of the Tang Empire.

Subsequently, good news came from the west, the strategic railway from Yumen Pass to Shule Town was completed, and all kinds of materials from Datang could be quickly transported to the border towns of Anxi in large quantities, thus greatly reducing the difficulty of providing soldiers and horses in Anxi, so that the cost of raising troops in Anxi was not much different from that of the capital, so that it was very convenient to carry out large-scale military increases in Anxi, and then control the vassal countries around Anxi.

To the west of Anxi, there was also a relatively powerful empire, the Black Clothes Great Eat, that is, the later Arab Empire, which has always been relatively powerful and dominated the west.

Although, now the black-clothed Dashi has realized that its strength cannot match the Tang Empire, but after all, the Datang Empire is in the far east, and the distance is too far, which will inevitably lead to the strength of the Datang Dynasty being difficult to radiate to the black-clothed Dashi, so that the black-clothed Dashi feels that although the strength of the Datang is strong, it cannot effectively influence the vassal countries in the west, and these vassal states of the Datang are relatively rich, and if they are their own, they will definitely be able to greatly enhance their strength.

Under the domination of this kind of thinking, the black-clothed Dashi threatened to use force to force many small states that belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time paid tribute to them, otherwise, they would attack them by force.

Of course, these small countries were very reluctant, so they reacted to the Tang court, liking that the Tang Dynasty could send troops to eliminate the black-clothed food that threatened them.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very angry when he learned that the black-clothed Dashi wanted the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty and paid tribute to them, and he was about to send troops to attack the black-clothed Dashi and make the decisions for the vassal countries, but many courtiers raised objections, including Li An.

After all, the black-clothed food is far away in the west, and the Tang Dynasty is in the far east, and the expedition will seriously deplete the national strength of the Tang Empire, and even if it wins, its own losses are very huge, which is the reason for all the ministers' objections.

But now the situation has changed, the strategic railway has been built to Shule Town, which is very close to the small western country, and a large number of troops and strategic materials of the Tang Dynasty can be quickly transported to Shule Town, thus making the expedition relatively much easier, and the loss to the Tang Empire will also become very low.

Many vassal states in the west also saw this, and immediately after the official opening of Shule Town, they asked the Tang Dynasty to let the Tang Dynasty build the railway to their country, so that they could get great benefits in terms of economy, trade, and security.

After all, as long as the railway is built, it will be of great benefit to them to do trade, so that they can make more and faster money, and their security will be more secure.

The development of trade has been of great benefit to all countries along the way, and it is naturally the same for the Tang Dynasty, so after the railway led to Shule Town, the Tang Dynasty court immediately began to study the plan to connect the railway to the western countries.

In recent years, all the western dependent countries have sent a different number of technicians to Datang to study, and the content of learning is nothing more than building roads and bridges, as well as some simple mechanical maintenance knowledge, the core content will not be passed on.

And the cultivation of these paving and bridge-building talents can allow these small countries to command themselves and carry out infrastructure construction within the national border, thereby reducing the burden on the Tang Empire.

At the same time as the decision was made to pave the railways to the western countries, the imperial court asked most of the road and bridge building talents from all countries who came to study to return to their own countries, preparing to cooperate with the technical personnel of the Tang Dynasty to carry out the construction of the railway line.

The materials and technology of the railway line are all from Datang, but the land belongs to all countries, and when it is built, Datang and all countries must contribute, so that the distribution of railway interests must be negotiated first, otherwise, it will be easy to cause trouble.

Compared with the Tang Empire, the vassal countries do not have much bargaining power at all, after all, whether it is the railroad tracks, or trains, as well as various allocation systems, all of them are only available to the Tang Empire, and these small countries have no bargaining chips at all, and the powerful military power of the Tang Dynasty is a very huge deterrent, so that they have to obey.

As the inventor of the railway system, Li An of course has to participate in the formulation of the next railway construction plan, and how to distribute the benefits with the small western countries, and the matter is so big, of course, the Tang Emperor can't help but ask, this is a matter related to the Tang Dynasty for thousands of generations, and it must not be taken lightly.

The consumption of resources, financial resources and manpower in the construction of railways is very huge, so it is impossible to blossom in all directions, so we must concentrate our efforts and build them one by one, picking up the most important roads first and building them behind, and the less important roads can only be built later.
