Chapter 589: Western Liao Mission

When he first arrived in Luntai City, Xiao Lili looked at the city in front of him, which was completely different from the past, although he was calm on the surface, he was shocked in his heart.

Because it was not the first time that Xiao Hulira came to Wulabo, although the Han people changed the city of Wulabo into Luntai - this place was the Luntai City placed in the Western Regions of Tuntian by the Qiang Han Dynasty, and it was also the location of the Jingsai army in the Tang Dynasty, and the location of Wushi, the political and economic center of the Western Regions in later generations.

But Xiao Weilira was very impressed by this place, and when Yelu Dashi took them into Gaochang, he had looked forward to this place.

With mountains, rivers, plains, and dense forests, this is definitely a good place for people to recuperate.

Unfortunately, the king of Gaochang was not stupid, and he just gave the northern court to Yelu Dashi, which was adjacent to the northwest road of the Liao State, and even if Yelu Dashi did not go there, a large number of Khitans who fled south would have a major impact on the dominance of the Gaochang Uighurs in the region.

As for Gaochang, separated by Jinling (Bogda Mountain), it is inevitable that it will be a little out of reach for the Northern Court.

But the land of Wulabo is in the south of Jinling, not far from Gaochang City, and Bilge will lend Wulabo to Yelu Dashitun soldiers for restoration unless he is crazy.

And when Yelu Dashi walked from the west of Beiting, Xiao Hulira also took people to drink Ma Ulabo, but at that time, Wulabo City was only a small city about one mile long and wide, and the rammed earth city wall was no more than two zhang high.

Although the economy is relatively prosperous, because this city is located in a critical place, it is backed by the Tianshan Mountains in the south, and the Baiyang Gully Pass, the main road leading to Turpan and southern Xinjiang in the east, is located in the key place.

But after all, it's still a small city, and it's basically like a county seat! It's no different from many ordinary cities in the Khitan.

But now, the city of Wulabo has changed and he can't recognize it at all, the scale of the whole city is very large, and there are rows of buildings inside and outside the city, including tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses, and so on. Of course, there are also shops that specialize in silk and satin, jewelry and spices!

Although all the buildings are horizontal and vertical, they are geometric, and their appearance is also tinged with a kind of blue and white.

Xiao Weili knew that it was the cement that was now famous in the Hezhong area.

In the former Eastern and Western Karakhanid Kingdoms, the Song people quickly used this to build several sturdy military camps, as well as a series of material transfer stations.

The latter is not large, but it is very strong, and the construction speed is even faster than people think, and it only takes half a month for a city to rise from the ground.

After the defeat of the Seljuk-led Celestial Alliance, there was a wave of armed rebellion and rebellion in the Eastern and Western Qarakhanids. The number of rebels was far stronger than the guards at the transfer station, but they could only look at the wall and sigh!

The preciousness of cement in the river area is piled up by these bloody results.

Therefore, Xiao Lira recognized the cement at first sight.

This entire Luntai city is made of cement.

A tall building in the city, which is also too high, will exceed the height of the city gate tower.

It is said that the Han people buried bamboo strips in the cement, just like the Pingtou people mixed straw poles into the yellow mud when they built adobe houses, which could make the building stronger.

And if it's just a building, it can't make Xiao Lili feel shocked; If it was pure prosperity, it wouldn't shock Xiao Weili.

Luntai has significant geographical advantages, and the Han people obviously want to focus on operating here, and in just two years, more than 50,000 immigrants have moved from Guanxi, and countless natives from the Western Regions have been attracted, so it is no wonder that this place is not prosperous.

But the key is that the whole city is orderly and clean.

Rules - Xiao Lili felt that this was the source of the strength of the Han people.

The orderly and tidy city between the markets inside and outside Luntai City, the first manifestation of the exterior must be the traffic rules and health rules formulated by Zhao Jiu, but when analyzed internally, Xiao Lili saw the two huge words "rules".

In other words, the Song people were able to spend a lot of time on transportation and sanitation in the city, but what about other aspects?

For example, factories and workshops, such as the government, such as the army......

Looking at the leopard in the tube, from the point to the surface, it is very chilling to think about it.

Of course, when Xiao Weili was thinking about this problem, others were comfortably staying in the guest house in Luntai City and taking a hot bath.

Nowadays, the water tower is still very small and the height is quite limited, but as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not a problem to supply a small guest house.

So there is a flushing toilet, and so there is running water.

Soaking in the bathtub, Xiao Weili sighed, comfortable, and all the fatigue along the way dissipated.

The Han people are really good at work!

Although he was very worried about the strength of the Song Empire, this did not delay him from enjoying the benefits of this strength.

The entire Western Liao will not refuse this benefit.

Go to the emperor and call the Han people a tribute, which makes them Khitan people lose face.

After all, for more than a hundred years before, the Khitan Empire had always been the eldest brother of the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains!

But the form is stronger than the person, isn't it? Everyone understands the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. But even so, Xiao Lira also knew that many clansmen still had a pimple in their hearts.

However, the saddest thing is that even if many people are holding their breath in their hearts, it is one in ten thousand for them to stand up and truly fight against the Song people.

The Jurchens have shattered the pride of the Khitan nation for 200 years. The Song people swept across the Jurchens, and then turned their heads and swept through the rivers of the Western Regions like a whirlwind and clouds, which has made the remaining Khitans admit their strength from the bottom of their hearts!

Even they had to use the tiger skin of the Song people to deter the Kupchaks who were conquered by them.

It's really fucked up.

From Luntai County all the way to the east, after entering the Hexi Corridor, Xiao Lira looked around more and more frequently, and at the same time, some party members in the team also had more and more curses in their mouths.

Of course, no one dares to openly commit taboos, that is looking for death!

The face of the Western Liao Mission cannot erase the capital crime.

But how could the change in the attitude of the party members be hidden from the Khitan people who get along with them day and night?

Xiao Lili didn't suppress it, anyway, it was far away from Bianjing, and the party members also had points in their hearts, so there would be no big basket.

And put yourself in your shoes, if you see the same scene in Shangjing and Zhongjing, I'm afraid that your mentality will also collapse! "There are so many Song people!"

In the past, the Hexi Corridor was completely a party color, but now the Han people are everywhere, with wide clothes and sleeves, short brown and straight embellishments, and there are almost no traces left by the Western Xia era. How can this make the party members calm?
