And what made Li Shimin unbearable was actually the Great War in the Western Regions, such a big battle involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers and dozens of cities was easily won in just a few months.

Most of them are not elite soldiers, so they have achieved such results, and the steel cannons that have played a huge role in this are, of course, Li Shimin attaches great importance to them.

After Li Chunfeng returned to Chang'an, he urgently made a steel cannon, of course, the effect of the experiment was very gratifying, and Li Shimin couldn't sit still, and his restless heart finally moved again.

Steel cannons and ammunition are being stepped up in production, and the troops and government affairs are also being adjusted and transferred, and the high-level officials of the imperial court have already felt some tense atmosphere, and they have all guessed Li Shimin's thoughts.

In order to complete the battle, Li Shimin still decided to prepare more fully, and also asked Liaoxi to build a railway, which should be built from Youzhou to the front line, to transport troops and materials, and at the same time, from Chang'an to Liaoxi is also building a railway, and when the time comes, it can be repaired as far as it can be transported, which can greatly save time.

This is also Chang'an to Luoyang railway after the opening of traffic, brought Li Shimin's inspiration, from Luoyang to Chang'an, one day, the sun rises in the morning, the sun has not yet set in Luoyang, as a businessman, we all know the preciousness of time, plus there are many businessmen from the south to the north, so from the opening of traffic, to now more than a month has passed, every day the train is full of loads.

However, there are still many people who oppose the construction of the railway to Liaoxi, because there is not much economic value, but there are also many people who support it, after all, there are many coal mines in Liaoxi, there are many iron ores, and seeds, and the railway can be quickly transported to Guanzhong, and there is a railway, which is very beneficial to the future imperial rule.

Since he guessed Li Shimin's thoughts, of course Feng Daiwen would not let it go, armored vehicles appeared, steel cannons were also made, and the combination of the two was the king tank of land warfare.

Tanks are now invincible in both siege and field battles, and they can attack at close range without worrying about being damaged.

The only drawback is that it is more difficult to make now, only a tank can be made in a month, and the production of ammunition is not so easy, after all, this is not a combination of gunpowder and copper and iron, it must be made with the same thickness and lead length, and these required processes can not be completed quickly.

The good varieties from western Liaoning are planted in the Western Regions, because of the abundant sunshine, wheat is planted in good places in the mountains, and almost all of them are planted with cotton, and the vegetables that are easy to survive are also planted a lot, especially the radish and cabbage that are the easiest to preserve, and the high yield is completely planted in large quantities, and these vegetables are not only convenient to plant, but also easy to take care of.

Of course, the specialty of the Western Regions, grapes, is much more planted, and almost all the places that can be planted have been planted, anyway, most of the entire Western Regions now belong to the Tang Dynasty, and these are not at their disposal.

And in the conquered places in the Western Regions, only ordinary people remain, and they can have a more stable life, and no one has any complaints.

As for the more than 300,000 captives captured in the Western Regions, after helping with spring ploughing, they were escorted to Fuyun Mining.

It is also an important task to build a straight road from Longyou Road to the Western Regions, as for the Western Regions Road, the roads between the cities, when the people are free, they will also be put on the agenda, and all the cities will be connected and become a whole, which is very conducive to the governance of the Western Regions.

And Feng Daiwen sent a message to Dawan, Wusun and other countries, buying a large number of prisoners, regardless of men, women and children, all of them, with weapons, goods exchange, whatever you want in exchange, and through merchants, these news spread to Guishan, Persia.

It also shook the spirit of the two countries that were decadent, and the main reason for the decadence of these two countries was that the domestic aristocracy was rotten, greedy, and extremely harsh to the people.

And now the slave trade is more profitable than collecting taxes, not to mention that all the materials in exchange are in demand for the Tang Dynasty, and the people in their own territory want to farm for themselves, but they can't sell it.

What should no one do, of course, they can only rob others, so unprecedentedly, these nobles unite and go out to fight, you must know that these nobles are extremely stingy in normal times, and if they want them to contribute people and money, it is basically an impossible thing.

And now, for the sake of money, the power of the united explosion is still very strong, and for a while, not only did the Arab Empire retreat, but also attacked from the side with the Persian black-clothed food.

The Arab Empire lost several regions one after another, and these coalition forces also found that the enemy was not so invincible, and for a time their arrogance was high, and there was a tendency to counterattack.

And the nobles have no fools, and the newly conquered territory is occupied by the Zhaowu nine surnames, the small countries that wandered in the Western Regions, and the remaining fleeing Turks as a quarantine zone, and they continue to make a fortune with the money from the transfer of territory.

Without the assistance of a master of internal affairs, Feng Daiwen was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground all day, and the most difficult thing was the language barrier, so the first language popularization training of Datang was launched in the Western Regions.

The biggest feature of this training is that there are many nationalities, the largest population, and a large number of interpreters are needed.

At the beginning, the effect was not good, many people learned very difficult, almost drove the teacher crazy, and finally Feng Daiwen came up with a way, with rewards and punishments at the same time, there are rewards for learning well, such as a can of canned food, a small bottle of liquor, a bag of salt, and the punishment is not heavy, sweeping the street, washing clothes, but it is some small punishment.

However, this also proves that people have a sense of shame, and as soon as the reward and punishment system came out, not only everyone's enthusiasm was greatly improved, but also the results were quite good.

However, for most of the year, whether it is in the city or in the fields outside the city, there are all kinds of accents of the Tang Dynasty, and looking at people of different skin colors and hair working together, it feels like a meeting of all nations, which is particularly fulfilling.

From autumn to winter, it began to snow heavily at the end of October every year, and the vast expanse was snow-white, but it could not stop the people from traveling.

Although the snow is quite deep after heavy snowfall, you can still travel with skis and sleds.

And this is also the happiest year in the history of the Western Regions, whether it is the people or the coolies, although the grain in the Western Regions still needs to be supplemented by the Central Plains, but the bumper harvest of cotton has allowed everyone to get cotton clothes.

A large number of grapes are planted to make a unique grape wine in the Western Regions, and the taste is particularly good, this is because the Western Regions has sufficient sunshine, and the grapes are particularly sweet, but it is a pity that the grapes cultivated in Liaoxi are the kind of good varieties with large grains, few and small children, and they are grafted out, and it takes a year to harvest a large number of them.
