Datang attaches great importance to every inch of its own land, and obviously attaches great importance to the Chinese region and North America. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt is undeniable that in terms of pure geography and natural resources, some areas are better than some remote and barren inland areas, such as Australia, Argentina and other places. But the Tang people had different feelings for the interior of the Huaxia region, which was a fundamental part of the term China. It may be difficult to develop, but there is no reason to leave it behind.

Since the completion of the final unification of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has invested heavily in recruiting laborers and dispatching excellent engineers to complete the construction of two of the world's most difficult highway routes, namely the Qinghai-Tibet Highway and the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. Before Datang really started to deal with the Tusi forces in remote areas, it had actually made various preparations in hardware.

When the Tang Army began to attack the Tusi forces, the actual construction of these two highways had not yet been completed, but some sections of the roads had been opened to traffic, which greatly facilitated the military deployment and logistics transportation of the Tang Army.

Along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, the Tang army drove into the plateau in trucks. After a large number of Tang troops entered the plateau, some of the toasts were more familiar with each other, and they looked at the wind and descended, and the unopened nature was completely wiped out like the toasts of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. The religiosity on the plateau is relatively high, so Datang also tried to cooperate with local religious figures.

Like the Tusi group, some are cooperative, some are more stubborn, and the Datang officials will not deal with it personally, but let them "solve it naturally internally". In fact, one of the two leaders of the plateau who was close to the gods had already gone to the capital to meet him in person after Bai Nan moved the government to Beijing, which is naturally the best expression of attitude. The other's attitude was slightly ambiguous, but after the Tang Dynasty entered the plateau, he immediately changed his appearance and declared that he supported the government's social reforms.

For these people, they can't see any other choice, the Tang Dynasty is too powerful in this world, and it is difficult for the anti-Tang forces to survive, and if someone dares to openly challenge the Tang Dynasty, they will be wiped out immediately. Either oppose and become ants and be crushed, or obedience can still leave some decency.

Datang's transformation of the local area can be said to be thorough, just like the same situation in another plane. The toasts were knocked down, and the miserable serfs turned over to become masters. The means of production, cattle and sheep and pastures of the Tusi were all distributed to the serfs, and the serfs became free herdsmen, and the Tang Dynasty organized them to form cooperatives. However, it is relatively more suitable for the local environment to produce in a family unit.

Datang is still setting up a government in a relatively large city, but with the ability of Datang's civil servants to reach out to the masses, it should still be possible to organize the local people. With the development of transportation and technology, this forbidden area will become more and more closely connected to other areas, and life will inevitably become more and more modern.

Obviously, during this period, the economic return on investing in the infrastructure of the plateau was low to almost none, but it was very necessary for the Tang Dynasty to control the inland areas. For example, in inland areas such as Shaanxi and Gansu, it is not difficult to build a power plant or a waterworks, but in Lhasa, it is obvious that the level of difficulty has not risen by a fraction of a star.

At this time, the population of the plateau is small, but it is not so easy to benefit everyone. The Tang Dynasty government has also formulated a long-term plan, determined to build the plateau into a rich and civilized developed region within 20 years.

On the one hand, stability is paramount, and the serfs themselves have benefited from the change, from having no personal freedom and being oppressed and exploited, to becoming completely free people.

The Tang Army, which drove into the plateau, also had many touching stories with the local people along the way. A group of Tang soldiers passed through the steppe and ran into serfs who had fainted from hunger. The young Tang soldiers took out their own rations, compressed biscuits and soaked them in water, and fed them to the filthy serf. The serfs opened their eyes when they smelled the aroma of food and saw strangers.

His skin had been tanned on the plateau as dark as that of the locals, and there were two short, stocky young men with plateau red, who fed themselves in aluminum lunch boxes. The young soldier looked very decent, and the serf thought he was a superior man, but he held himself by the hand and smiled at himself.

The serfs ate one of his meals and thanked them a thousand times, and even though the language barrier between the two sides did not prevent the soldiers from extending a helping hand.

Soon after, the Tang army conquered the stronghold of the Tusi in the area and brought the bad Tusi to justice. The serfs were all liberated, and Tusi's family wealth was distributed to the serfs by the Tang army, including the serf who fainted on the grass with hunger before.

He was given a large house, a lot of blankets and clothes, and a few yaks, the most precious livestock on the plateau.

The serf slaughtered a yak of his own that night, roasted it and ran to the Tang army's camp to distribute the roasted yak meat to the soldiers.

The soldiers were very surprised, they couldn't accept it according to the rules, but the company commander still asked everyone to take a piece of yak meat. It was not easy to replenish such a direct protein on the plateau, and the company commander ordered the quartermaster to give the serf a sum of money. The serfs did not know what these colorful pieces of paper were, and thought they were symbols of friendship, so they kept them at home.

Later, the serfs learned that these colorful pieces of paper were the currency in place of gold and silver, and that the Tang soldiers gave him money far more than the value of a yak. These old banknotes were kept by serfs, who were not financially wealthy.

Decades later, the banknotes entered the Revolutionary Memorial Hall in Lhasa with the story.

Perhaps long-lasting faith may be extraordinarily powerful, but for ordinary people, the grace of a meal and the respect of a smile and a high-five are even more cherished. The power of virtue can also be spread, when the Qinghai-Tibet Highway was completed, a new wind blew up the plateau at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and the third pole of the world also entered a new era.

In the history of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this land seems to have been obscure, but it is also surprisingly stable and progressive. The first soldiers to set foot on the plateau and fight against strong altitude sickness practiced the spirit of the country. It's like a faint fire, but it can start a prairie fire, and finally burn the snowy plateau as warm as spring.

The leaders of Paiknam's generation knew very well that eliminating the toast was not the way to save the land, but more importantly, to make the people here live a better life with the people of other places. And the meaning of the existence of the Tang Dynasty is like this. (To be continued.) )
