Chapter 561: True and False Military Missions

On the way to the Railway Transport Administration, the more Fang Xuanling thought about it, the more he felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Halfway through, Fang Xuanling had to stop, thought about it seriously, and immediately decided to turn around and return.

Although the assassination of Li Chengguang is a big matter, there are even bigger things in this world.

"Your Majesty, in this operation, the minister suggested that the military drill be announced to the outside world for the time being, so as not to panic the people." The sky is big, and the people are the foundation of Datang, Fang Xuanling thought of this, so he returned halfway.

It's not a big deal to just declare the real reason.

But it will have a certain impact, the current Datang, is a good time for rapid development, such a reverse event, although it may not have much impact, but after all, it will have some impact.

I am not afraid of 10,000 in everything, but I am afraid of what happens.

And the assassination of the prince, this matter will also have an impact if it is spread now.

"The minister suggested that after the matter is thoroughly investigated, a decision will be made on whether to announce it to the public." Fang Xuanling continued.

As for whether this matter will be announced, it depends on the final result?

If it was an assassination by a former enemy, or some inconsequential person, then it doesn't hurt to make it public.

At present, what Fang Xuanling is most worried about is that the mastermind behind the scenes will have something to do with the royal family.

If this is the case, this matter can only be dealt with secretly, and there is no dare to make it public.

Otherwise, it will not only have a huge impact on the prestige of the royal family, but also cause some of the people's confidence to lose.

Why? How long has it been since Xuanwumen? Now that this kind of thing has happened again, if you have to make such a big fuss every time, can this world still be called stable?

Once people are panicked, even the gods in the sky may not be able to save this terrible situation.

Why was Li Yuanji successful? Strength is only one aspect, it is important, but it is not the whole story.

The most important reason why Li Yuanji was able to quickly stabilize the government and stabilize the world at the beginning of his ascension to the throne was because of Li Shimin's previous actions.

A Xuanwu Gate has completely lost Li Shimin's image among the people, and it can be said bluntly that the most appropriate statement for Li Shimin among the people is that he is respectful and disrespectful.

Many of the officials in the court are Li Shimin's people, but more of them are the crown prince and Li Yuan's people, and these people are extremely disgusted with Li Shimin.

Is it really because the treasury cannot support such a large and bloated administrative structure?

Of course not, the days of the Tang Dynasty before were not better than now, and Li Yuan still regarded this emperor as a good person? Li Shimin's original intention was to use this name to be open-minded, and not to kick out those officials who oppose and disrespect Xinyou, so as to achieve the goal of stabilizing the situation.

But it's a pity that Li Shimin's preparation finally made a good pot for Li Yuanji, and the streamlining was streamlined, but a large part of the people who were kicked out were replaced by Li Shimin's people.

"Then let's announce it on the grounds of military exercises!" Li Yuanji nodded.

Fang Xuanling's words, he understood the meaning, and in a moment, he quickly went through it in his mind.

He has a point, and in a fast-growing country, what is most afraid of is all kinds of accidents to interrupt.

The current Datang can be said to have found its own rhythm, and Li Yuanji is not sure whether this rhythm will be interrupted after this matter is announced, and whether it will have a greater impact on the people.

But......

Paper can't contain the fire, the Third Army arrives in Xingyang, every move is bound to attract greater attention, only the army is in action, it can still be regarded as a drill, but what are the three parties of Zhongshu Province, the Criminal Department, and the Military Department going to do? Especially for the first two, do these two departments still need to cooperate in military exercises?

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji continued to speak: "Since it is a military exercise, let's make this exercise more realistic, maybe there will be unexpected results......

Fang Xuanling frowned, but then the whole person suddenly lit up.

"Chen understands......" Fang Xuanling hurriedly nodded yes, this method is good, so good that it is unbelievable.

The fake play is really done, the real play is fake, it doesn't matter how he does it, now, all this is a play directed and performed by the imperial court, and the purpose is for the present.

It is to conduct a surprise test of the army and the imperial court.

It's done well, hello, I'm hello, everyone, even the people are full of greater confidence in the court and life, and if we don't do it well, it shows that we still have room for improvement, and there is still room for progress.

But no matter how you do it, you are revealing an attitude to the outside world.

The imperial court has always been working hard, whether you can see it or not, the imperial court's efforts have never stopped, they are doing, they are thinking, when you can't think of it, to do everything that is possible, the purpose is just to make the country better and make the people's lives more comfortable.

……

Chang'an Station, busy crowds, busy stations, people come and go.

Since the introduction of trains, many people have definitely felt that life is indeed much more convenient than before.

In the past, no one wanted to go far away, and over time, a verbal saying began to circulate, parents are here, not far away.

Although it is still the same now, on the line from Chang'an to Luozhou, this verbal language basically no longer exists, and you only need to tell your family where to find yourself in case of emergency before leaving.

Trains pull people?

Yes, trains are what pull people.

But trucks don't have to just pull goods, they also take on the responsibilities of the postal system.

It's still experimental, but it's working well.

People don't need to rush to find someone in person, they just need to know where their family members are, and a letter and two dollars can be sent to the destination.

However, there is no way to compare with the postal system of later generations, and now the most we can do is to write letters on the blackboard at the post booth outside the station.

There were too many letters to write all the names, so the name of the region was used as the basis, and if there were many letters from the same area, the name of the region was written.

Wanderers would come here every once in a while to have a look and see if there were any letters from their own families.

It's convenient, hassle-free, and fast.

"What's going on? Why haven't you left yet? On the train, passengers who have been on the train for a long time have never been able to wait for the departure, and they can't help but feel a little anxious.

"Come on......"

"Don't worry, even if it takes a while to get to your destination, it will take you much faster to reach your destination than by land."

Some people are in a hurry, some people are not in a hurry, depending on the mentality.

However, it didn't take much effort for everyone's mentality to change.

From the time they got on the train, to now, half an hour has passed, and the station is a car to go, a car to enter, there is a delay in the middle, and the promised departure time has long passed, everything looks normal outside, no one to explain, ask the conductor to get the answer is also unknown, but the train just does not go.

Well, the train can't go.

The conductor was called out, and it didn't take long for him to turn back again.

Looking at the hundreds of passengers in a carriage, he said with an apologetic face: "Passengers, I'm very sorry, this train has been canceled, now please move out of the carriage, the station can change for you to the next train, and at the same time compensate the face value of the ticket, or you can choose to refund the ticket with double the amount." ”

"What? Don't open it? We're all in the car, you can't drive? Someone shouted dissatisfiedly, and no one would be happy at this time.

"When is the next train?"

"It may be this time tomorrow, or it may be this time the day after tomorrow, I can't say for the time being." The conductor replied apologetically, this time was just announced, he was just a microphone, and he didn't know much about the specific situation.

"It's too late...... Too late...... I have to go, I have to get out of here today! The man was obviously excited, and in a panic, he took out a family letter from his body, a unified envelope, and knew that it was a family letter at a glance, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "My father is seriously ill, I must go!" ”

"I'm sorry, this is a military mission, from this moment on, this train will take on the task of military trains, I understand your situation, but this order is not for me to call the shots."

Shame ......

Hearing that it was a military mission, the originally dissatisfied crowd could only force themselves to calm down at this time.

This is the first time this kind of thing has happened, and no one has ever experienced it, but in the daily propaganda, it is mentioned that military tasks have all priorities, in fact, they know that they don't need to publicize it, and it has been like this for many years.

Most people still leave the carriage with their luggage, so what if they don't? Although the station is at fault first, but people have made double compensation, what is there to dissatisfaction with? Against the court?

What's right? It's hard to make sense of this matter.

……

"The trains are being fully coordinated, and there are five passenger cars and seven freight cars in the station, and then about three trains every two hours, and a total of about eighteen trains can be sent out before dawn." The station official was briefing Fang Xuanling on the specific situation.

"Not enough, far from enough, the interval between trains does not need to be too long, and a train will be sent away at the longest of more than half a quarter." Fang Xuanling shook his head directly.

A train of passenger cars can transport about 1,500 or 600 people, and trucks can transport more, but 2,000 people will reach the sky, and they also have to transport materials.

Eighteen columns, it took one night to send away more than 27,000 people, less than 30,000? And considering the insufficient number of trains, it may not be possible to transport these more than 60,000 people until it gets dark tomorrow, or even the morning after tomorrow.

This is not slow, but it is not fast either, for the Third Army.

"Do you want to move out the three trucks that have already been loaded?"

"I'm leaving...... I'm going to leave soon......"
