Chapter 559: The Road
Although it is not good to say this, it is indeed a rare good opportunity for the Jin army to continue to move south. A great opportunity to push everything before it is unreasonable and start all over again.
After being shattered by the original balance of power by a powerful, arrogant and unreasonable external force, Gao Yang carried endless power and prestige to transform all the affairs of this decadence much easier, and the resistance he received was correspondingly much smaller.
The original military cities that were similar to the state of local secession were all forcibly canceled, and all the personnel and military rosters and material lists were all recovered from Bianliang City. To put it simply, cancel all staffing. Without the establishment, there will be no identity and treatment, no all kinds of money paid on time, and no righteous reputation! It is no longer an army recognized by the state and the imperial court!
All military units and horses must be reorganized, all empty quotas and other items must be abolished, and the distribution of logistics materials will all be handed over to special responsible organs. Prevent the recurrence of the blood of the commanders and soldiers.
From among the reorganized troops, the elite of them were selected and organized into border guards, stationed on the national border to defend against foreign enemies. The old and infirm were all given their goods and sent home to farm. In the past two years, there have been wars and disasters in the north, and there is a lot of land that no one cultivates.
Those sergeants who were stronger than the old and weak, but did not meet the elite standards, were all transferred to local government service to maintain local law and order.
The law and order situation in this era is really not very good, and there is a risk of thieves when you leave the village. Coupled with the constant fighting, the local administrative system almost collapsed, and many people who could not live sustainably and the defeated defeated soldiers fell into the grass and threatened the villages. It is very important to strengthen local security forces and maintain peace.
In fact, they are also continuing to exercise the work of the previous Xiang Army. It's just that it has changed its name, and it is no longer a military household that will continue to be for generations. The establishment of the army was abolished and replaced with a model similar to that of the police.
Chen Fangliang led a large group of military horses to patrol one city after another, rectifying and rectifying. The hereditary system of military households was completely abolished. In the future, the entire army will be changed to a conscription system, and all the benefits and benefits will be redone according to the length of service.
From then on, all the soldiers and horses in the world will be unified under the command of the imperial court. The unification of military orders and government orders has greatly improved efficiency. Although it is still far from the actual ban. But it's finally the first step, isn't it?
The integration of the armed forces on a national scale is not something that can be accomplished quickly. Like those remote areas. There are also places close to the border, and this matter needs to be put on hold. After all, now Gao Yang can only completely control Bianliang City and the surrounding areas. There is also Hedong Road and the 16 states of Yanyun and Yunnei that have just been recovered.
If it weren't for Gao Yang's occupation of the righteous position, and he continued to defeat the Jin ** team one after another, his prestige would have reached the point where everyone was shocked and everyone was afraid. That place has long been in chaos, who will listen to the dispatch of the imperial court?
When the world is in turmoil, how many people are ambitious to get ahead? Even if it is a knife and axe, he is willing to take such a big risk! Chen Fangliang led the army out for more than half a month, and caught hundreds of careerists from all over the world who resisted to the death.
As the temperature gets colder and colder, the outside of Bianliang City has gradually become a huge construction site. Basic road construction. This is an extremely important thing for any country, especially if it is not possible to build railways on a large scale.
With Bianliang City as the center, the first thing to be built is to go all the way to the west to connect Luoyang City. After repairing to Luoyang City, it was divided into two parts, one road went north to the bank of the Yellow River, and the road built by Yingzhou to Taiyuan City was connected across the river.
The other avenue of Luoyang City is still all the way to the west, after passing Tongguan and entering the Qinchuan River for 800 miles, it has been connected to Chang'an City.
This highway will greatly increase the control of the Central Plains to the northwest. In the future, the road will continue to be built in the northwest direction with Chang'an as the center. Reach out to the far West. After all, before the rise of the navy, only the Silk Road could travel to the far western world.
The earliest road from Yingzhou to Taiyuan City in the north has been built. Next, it will continue to be built in both north and south directions at the same time. The north side should be built all the way to the city of Yunzhou, and this bridgehead should be used to control the vast grasslands in the north.
Similarly, Yunzhou City will also become a huge front-line departure base in the future. The avenue would stretch all the way to the north, and with the footsteps of the great army, it would spread across the grassland. Gao Yang attached more importance to the grassland than anything else, not to mention Temujin in the future. The Central Plains has been threatened since records began, and all of them are northern grasslands!
Gao Yang wants to put an end to all this, and firmly controlling the entire grassland is what he must do!
The avenue that has been built to Taiyuan City in the south will continue to go all the way south to the bank of the Yellow River, across the river from the avenue from Luoyang City on the opposite bank.
As for the construction of a bridge across the river or something, don't mention it, it's purely to find yourself unhappy. Stone bridges can barely be built over narrower rivers, but for a wide tributary like the Yellow River, it's better to use ferries as soon as possible.
At the same time, a new avenue was started in the north of Bianliang City. It's all the way north. After crossing the Yellow River, they ran along an almost straight road to Yanjing City. Through North China, it will be up to it to control the Northeast region in the future.
Jurchens in the Northeast. Whether it is the Jurchens who are running out now. Or those wild Jurchens who are still in the vast forests of the Northeast, like the Aixin Jueluo tribe that has not yet emerged. Gao Yang can't let it go. This is a true enemy! Whether it's present or future.
The third avenue was built on the south side of Bianliang City. Basically, it is built along the banks of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The final destination is the city of Yangzhou in the south. This road is not in a hurry, there is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, just take your time.
Generally speaking, people are not conscripted to work in winter. Not to mention the cold weather, the ground is also frozen hard, and it is not easy to do anything. If it is a conscription of people's husbands, it will definitely be a matter that will arouse public anger.
Of course, Gao Yang understands these things, but his time is tight, and it is impossible to waste a few months of time waiting for the beginning of spring next year. Besides, even if you wait until the beginning of spring, you still have to do spring ploughing, and I don't know when it will be delayed.
Gao Yang chose the simplest and most effective method, give money!
He didn't think about what big truths he had in the past, how important these avenues would be after they were repaired, and how great they would be beneficial to the country and the people. It's useless to say any of this. Who doesn't know the important role of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal? The result? Yang Guang, who built this canal, was opposed by the whole world, and finally his head was in a different place, and the good country was cheaper than Li Shimin.
People have to look at their own immediate interests, how many people can really focus on the overall situation? Gao Yang directly chose to send immediate benefits to all the people who worked.
The first is to give money, not the kind of useless money, but real big money. Copper and lead are not very valuable in modern industrial society, especially when used on a large scale.
You don't have to pay too much, you can find a small factory with some stamping machines, forging machines, etc. In order to avoid being regarded as counterfeiters of imitation ancient coins, Gao Yang bought the tools, machines and raw materials, and then took them to the African base to be manufactured in large quantities by those biochemical soldiers. They don't have much to do on weekdays anyway.
In the era of large-scale production, production efficiency is very terrifying. It didn't take long for Gao Yang to come to Bianliang City with piles as high as mountains.
The money thing is very easy to solve. But money alone is not enough, and without the corresponding material supply, it can only be endless inflation. No matter how much money you have, it becomes a waste that you can't eat or drink.
Fortunately, Gao Yang has a whole extremely developed industrial society behind him as a support, and he has what he wants. He's not short of supplies, he's just a few. No matter how many difficult things there are, Gaoyang will unswervingly push forward the established strategy.
He has come to this era, and through this era he has obtained what he desperately needs. Then he had to do something for this era. This is both a responsibility and an obligation.
After Jiang Hu entered the Changsheng Army, he performed well in all aspects, and fought bravely in the battle outside Bianliang City and made great achievements. After the war, he was promoted to a team leader and sat in a position that his father had never sat in.
His unit did not follow Chen Fangliang's army out to sweep this time, but stayed in Bianliang City to garrison while training the newly recruited recruits.
I left the barracks today and led the team to the construction site outside the city because King Yan was going to come here to inspect today. He was ordered to bring soldiers and horses to serve as the outer guards.
Jiang Hu, who was brightly armoured, grew a thick beard. After experiencing the blood and fire tempering between life and death, his whole body exuded a breath that was completely different from the past. It was a precipitated, mature masculine vibe. The battlefield is always the best place to promote manhood.
At this moment, the entire large area outside Bianliang City has become a huge and chaotic construction site. Countless civilians in grass-green military coats came and went like moving ants, shouting and shouting, and the strange roar of machinery.
The various mechanical tools that Gao Yang brought with him from modern time and space played a huge role.
A simple stone crusher driven by an oil-fired generator, the mixer makes a loud roar. After the cyborg warriors taught the people how to use it, they concentrated on the design and planning and all-round command.
Excavate the surface and level the ground. Heavy wooden stakes were lifted high to the shouts of the people, and then fell heavily, flattening the ground.
Rows of simple mixers roar to pour out the concrete, and the people in line push wheelbarrows, one after another, pushing the concrete to the designated position of the marking line. Men on both sides of the roadbed swarmed up, wielding tools in their hands to smooth out the concrete. (To be continued) R752
