Chapter 854: The Son of Heaven Travels West
Long before Yang Guang proposed to move the capital to Luoyang, Yang Guang ordered the construction of official roads in various places.
In late January of the fourth year of the Great Cause, Liu Ziming, who was in charge of the Internal Affairs Department of the Blue Clothes Guard's Mansion, came to see Wang Junlin every day, begging Wang Junlin to meet the emperor, and persuaded him to extend the construction of the Grand Canal and pity the people more.
The construction of the official road is actually the first major project proposed by Yang Guang after ascending the throne as the emperor, with the virtue of the officials of this era, this project will naturally die a lot of people, but from the national strategic point of view, this project Wang Junlin is supported by both hands, the country's ruling territory is limited by military transportation capacity, the Great Sui has destroyed Tuyuhun in recent years, weakened the Eastern and Western Turks, and has two more counties in the northwest. It takes months or even a year and a half to transfer troops, which is very inconvenient.
Therefore, since more than three years, as soon as Yang Guang ascended the throne as emperor, he asked the prefectures, counties and counties to repair the roads and build the original muddy sheep intestine road into a "national highway" that can accommodate several carriages running side by side!
The northwest has the East and West Turks and other nomadic border passes, so the Chidao official road to the northwest is a priority to build, but the Ministry of Industry reported that it needs to be repaired in at least five years, Yang Guang said that it will be repaired in one year, and finally the Ministry of Industry used the facts to admonish in every way, Yang Guang issued an order to ask the local state and county officials, and finally changed it to three years.
At that time, Yang Guang demanded that within three years, the "Western Road" from Daxingcheng to Xianyang, Tianshui, Tonglongxi, and Jincheng to Zhangye County must be repaired, and at the same time, he also proposed the "Eastern Road" that passes through Luoyang, Xingyang, and Chenliu to the Qidi Seashore, and the "Southern Road" that goes out of Wuguan to the north of the Yangtze River.
Among the three roads, the western road is the shortest and the least traveled, so it was the first to be completed, and now that it has just been completed, Yang Guang is planning to start his first long-distance trip after becoming the emperor, and he will cruise westward in March.
Yang Guang respected the Qin Emperor and Han Wu the most, and wanted to become the first emperor of the ages comparable to these two, so many things were imitated by these two intentionally or unintentionally, such as building the Great Wall and recklessly fighting against the military
In history, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty were the three emperors who liked to tour the world the most, but the first two became the first emperor of the ages, and Yang Guang became a model of tyrants and faint monarchs.
"The land of Zhangye and Xiping counties in the northwest has been occupied by foreign races since the Han Dynasty, and now it has been taken back by my Great Sui, I naturally want to go to Xitui to see, or I will go out of Jincheng, to Zhangye, and overlook the land outside the territory......"
When Yang Guang said this sentence at the court meeting, the ministers had different expressions, and they were thinking more about which officials would accompany the Son of Heaven on his western tour.
This time Yang Guangxi toured Jincheng, Yongzhou, first of all, he summoned Wang Junlin to accompany him, but Wang Junlin left a hidden worry in his heart, he has too many secrets in the northwest, and he has many enemies, although he does things secretly, but more or less there are still some horses and feet will be exposed, if some things are exposed, it will bring him great trouble, and even kill.
Therefore, since it is difficult to change Yang Guangxi's plan, the best result is to follow Yang Guang to Yongzhou so that he can deal with the situation at any time.
"I will drive westward, as short as two months, as long as half a year, the blue-clothed guard mansion is mainly Shen Guang, supplemented by Ziming, but in case of a major event, the two of you have to discuss and decide, if there is time to send someone to report to me quickly, Jingzong will take the first step today, secretly go to Yongzhou to prepare, and must not show his horse's feet when His Majesty is touring the west...... "Before going west, Wang Junlin summoned the officials of the blue-clothed guard mansion to arrange some matters, and then left Xu Jingzong, Shen Guang and Liu Ziming to explain the secret matter.
The three respectfully said yes, Xu Jingzong had long expected that Wang Junlin would let him go to Yongzhou to fight the front station first, and before the establishment of the Blue Cloth Guard, Wang Junlin secretly operated several forces and arrangements in Yongzhou were all taken care of by him. And leaving Shen Guang in charge of the Blue Guard Mansion was also expected, after all, Shen Guang was the first confidant to follow Wang Junlin. Liu Ziming was not thinking about this, and thought that he would talk to Wang Junlin in private, and ask him to persuade Yang Guang to slow down the pace and extend the time limit for the completion of the Luoyang New Capital and the Grand Canal.
After the affairs of the Blue Cloth Wei Mansion were arranged, Wang Junlin returned to the mansion, Nie Xiaoyu, Wei Ziqi, Ye Ying, Jing Tian, Insect Demon, Spring and Autumn Valley Lord and others were already waiting here, Wang
King's Landing originally wanted to take Nie Xiaoyu with him, but thinking that the Martial Arts League had just been established, there were many things that needed to be done, and the martial artists of the rivers and lakes were idle and managed, and it was not easy to manage the restraints, so others might not be able to really control the Martial Arts League in their hands, so Nie Xiaoyu was fully responsible for the affairs of the Xiaoyu Theater and the Martial Arts Guild and the Martial Arts League.
……
……
In March of the fourth year of the Great Cause, Wang Junlin followed Yang Guang's royal car, along the gallop out of Daxing City, through Xianyang, all the way to the west.
Even from the perspective of Wang Junlin, a descendant of the world, this official road gallop is extremely exaggerated, especially from Daxing City to Xianyang, which is nearly a hundred miles, the road is fifty steps wide, and can accommodate ten carriages in parallel! Every three zhang is planted a straight green pine, the road is based on loess, rammed with gravel to build a thick one, the middle of the road is a special passage for the emperor to go out on patrol, and then the two sides are the official roads, and the most edge is the area where the people walk.
According to Wang Junlin's conjecture, it is probably that Yang Guang has instructed that when the Tibetan and Turkic tribes in the Western Regions come to make a pilgrimage, this half of the road is the only way, and with Yang Guang's good deeds, he must want to make the foreign envoys be shocked by this wide road like a square before they enter Daxing City......
After ten miles of Xianyang, after arriving at Duting, the width of the road has shrunk somewhat, but it is also very spacious and flat, comparable to the township roads of later generations, Wang Junlin can even lean on the car and doze off, and go to Chencang and Tianshui counties comfortably.
Chencang and Tianshui two counties belong to the north and south banks of Weishui, 600 miles of fertile fields, it is the place of the traces of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu, and it is praised in the Book of Poetry as "Zhou Yuan is full of flesh, and the violin is like a syrup", and it is also the first place where the Qin State was established during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, an heir surnamed Ying named "Qin" for this promise, regardless of death for several generations, threw their heads and spilled their blood, and restored the Zhou Yuan land near Qishan inch by inch, expelling the Qunrong. For this piece of land that can no longer be grasped, the Zhou royal family fulfilled its promise, waved its hand, and gave it to the Qin people.
