Chapter 422: Gao Chang (I)

With Huo Gang's endorsement, others will understand, in the early stage, Huo Gang needed iron and blood to protect his people from being threatened by others, at that time Huo Gang was barefoot, so he could only use this method to threaten others, but now it is different, there is no need for him to use such a method.

Of course, this doesn't mean that you don't use it at all, there are some things that you still have to use when you need to use them, but you have to see what kind of people they are.

At present, unless it is necessary, Huo Gang will not take the initiative to do such a thing, in fact, when he reaches Huo Gang's status, there is a way to really want to do such a thing, just borrow a knife to kill people.

After the completion of this combat meeting in the industrial city, the industrial city directly entered the wartime work state, and the production of 20 cannons was started first, for them, if the reserve steel pipe as a cannon barrel has been produced, the rest of the work is actually not difficult.

It's just that these barrels and so on have to be tested continuously, and the Gunpowder Research Institute has to re-test the woodpipe fuze, such as the kind of flowering bomb that Huo Gang said, how the flowering bomb was originally made Huo Gang didn't know it, and he only remembered it after seeing the woodpipe fuze.

To be precise, Huo Gang knew that there was a flowering bomb, and then when he saw something like a woodwind fuse, he immediately understood the principle of flowering bombs.

Dahan's artillery hardware is sufficient, and the software needs to be further developed, but the research and development of the software is actually progressing very quickly, mainly because Huo Gang knows the correct answer, although he doesn't know the specific proportion, but he knows the raw materials of these things, including the raw materials of TNT and other explosives, he probably knows.

Isn't it okay to know the raw materials and then conduct the relevant tests? In addition, the most critical point is the issue of security, in history, Nobel killed his relatives in order to study explosives, Huo Gang didn't want such a thing to happen, even if Chen Min and these people were transferred from Taoist priests, but this is also one of the few talents in the Han Dynasty.

When they returned to Yumen Pass, Huo Zheng and others had already held several military meetings and formulated the next battle strategy, the main combat strategy was still dominated by cavalry, the Vermilion Bird Army and the White Tiger Army were definitely the main military forces, and the Tiger Ben Army was ...... The rest of Huo Gang has not been released yet, mainly to clean up a Gaochang, which is actually not necessary.

It is only necessary to transfer the current troops of about 2,000 people of the Tiger Army, and the troops of these 2,000 people are mainly trained to use artillery, and Huo Gang only knew at this time that all the troops of the Tiger Army actually knew how to use siege equipment.

According to this statement, Huo Gang felt that there were definitely siege troops in the Tiger Ben Army that he had not summoned, even if he knew that there were, Huo Gang was not ready to summon them, the Tiger Ben Army was different from the Suzaku and the White Tiger Second Army, they were infantry, since they were infantry, this meant that their speed would not be too fast, at least the speed of train construction now was not so fast.

The first railways have already been planned, starting from the Industrial City and then → Yangguan→ Yumenguan→ Iron Ore → Coal Mine→ Yiwu City→ Gaochang City...... And so on.

The construction of the second railway in the future will probably go from the industrial city along the Huozhi River valley to Heishui City, passing through Akcheng and Loulan City, and then divide it into three from Loulan City, all the way north to Yiwu, all the way south along the Altyn Mountains, the south side of the Tari Desert all the way to the west, and the other way is naturally directly along the north side of the Tarim Basin, directly to Yanqi, and continue to the west, and it is estimated that it will circle the entire Tarim Basin in the future.

As for the railway next to the Tarim River that crosses the Tari Desert in the middle, it depends on the subsequent desert situation and the flow of the river.

However, these are follow-up plans, mainly the first one at present must be the Yumen Pass, which will also be built to Dunhuang County and the main cities of Changlezhou, and be ready to build the Hexi Corridor.

To tell the truth, these railway planning maps were planned by Huo Gang according to the map in his hand, and Huo Gang didn't know about the railway planning in later generations, but now he has the feeling of playing a railway tycoon game in later generations, writing and drawing on the map, which will eventually become a fact.

The Ministry of Construction has organized people to start a topographical investigation, of course, the relevant construction team has also begun construction, for the new road construction, the whole Yumen Pass people have some curiosity, especially the construction of the entire railway recruitment is reported in the Dahan Monthly.

However, it only mentioned that the newly built road was called a railway, and no one knew why it was called a railway, but the recruitment information still set off a boom in the whole Han again.

Of course, even so, it is still all the merchants who pay more attention to the railway, because they all know that the business of Dahan is so prosperous because the roads of Dahan are built so well.

So I deliberately ran over to see the construction site, anyway, the big man did not stop everyone from looking at the construction site, and they quickly confirmed that this new road did not seem to be very wide, and when it was built, it was far above the ground, I don't know what the reason is.

However, during the construction of the road, the increasing foundation of the road made it clear that the road was much higher than the concrete road.

This makes all the businessmen a little unbelievable, because for them, the concrete road is their unprecedented road for hundreds of years, such as the roads inside Chang'an City are not so good, not to mention the official road, the original concrete road is still expanding, for example, it has been built from Dunhuang County to Guazhou, Suoyang City and other directions.

But now a whole new path is coming out again? And the distance between the two roads is not particularly far, what the hell is this?

In particular, this new road is very expensive, and the Han government is not afraid to spend money. The old concrete road was more undulating with the terrain, but the new road was simply straightened directly on the ground, almost in a straight line, and well above the ground, so that the new railway left concrete bridges at certain distances for pedestrians to pass.

It's just that what this railway is, they don't know, could it be that the Han Iron and Steel is already ready to use iron to build a road?

They can't be blamed for thinking so, because before the big han didn't announce it to the public, they didn't know what kind of thing it was, so naturally there was constant speculation, so the railway still caused a huge discussion.

However, this discussion was not the most, and the most discussed news in the teahouse market and among merchants was the headline published on the front page of the Dahan Monthly, that is, the Dahan really declared war on the Turks, demanding that the Turks completely surrender and be incorporated into the entire Dahan.

The reason is that a certain Turkic tribe invaded the border of the Han Dynasty at will and tried to attack the border guards of the Han Dynasty!

The news...... How to say it, for all the Han people, even if they are mainly Turkic, but the people of the entire Han have long forgotten the Turks, or in other words, for all the Turkic herdsmen who joined the Han Dynasty, they did not live well before, and naturally they did not have any sense of belonging to the Western Turks at all.

When they saw the news of this newspaper, even many men who were originally Turkic ran to the patrol department to take the initiative to ask for war and fight for the leader.

And for those businessmen who do business in the big Han, their expressions are called weird, these people have traveled a lot from south to north, so they naturally know such things...... It may be true, but no country has ever been in a big fight about this before.

Cause? It's very simple, in ancient times, the border was not really important, so to speak, especially the border seems to be bordering nomads, although the other side crossed the border, but did not attack indiscriminately, just grazing and the like, and the generals in charge of border defense and the like would not even report it, and would not take it to heart at all.

As for the so-called territory, the concept of invading the border is even violating the territory has not existed before, but Dahan once again stated and emphasized this part in this article.

For example, Huo Gang, the leader of the Han Dynasty, said that the territory, airspace, and territorial waters of the Han Dynasty are inviolable, the land of the Han Dynasty is sacred, the territory of a country is the most sacred, and the Han army would rather shed blood and sacrifice than give up an inch of land.

In fact, this is a kind of propaganda to instill such ideas into all the people of the Han Dynasty, and only by constantly instilling such ideas can the people of the Han Dynasty continue to have a sense of belonging and honor.

Therefore, the storm set off by this article in the Han Dynasty is still relatively large, at least among these merchants, they have never seen such propaganda, in their opinion, a country like the Turks, there is no accurate concept of territory at all.

Now it's suddenly being proposed......

Anyway, the Han government has already said so, but they also know that the entire Turks have no way to deal with the Han at all, and of course they can't respond, and it is estimated that the territory of the Han will be expanded again.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that in less than ten days, the Dahan Monthly actually issued a special issue, and this time the spearhead in the special issue was not the Turks, or in the words of the Han Monthly, it was aimed at Gaochang, the original territory of the Turks!

True, the Han government did not recognize Gaochang as a state in its own right, and the Han government considered Gaochang to be part of the Turks.
