Chapter 505: Preparing to Start (Part I)

The Han Dynasty is different from later generations, the reason why the population of later generations can explode after encouragement is because of the large base, which is close to 400 million people, and if you encourage children to have children for a few decades, it will be normal to become more than a billion people.

But at present, the population of more than 7 million in Dahan, to be honest, if you encourage children, it is estimated that in a few decades, the population will barely exceed 100 million, and there is no big problem.

At that time, the government will definitely gradually reduce the incentives for the population, but there is no limit, anyway, it depends on your own ideas, you can have as many children as you want.

In the past five years, thousands of miles of railways between Dahan and Datang have been built, but this is actually not the most important project of Dahan, and Dahan has actually built more railways in China!

Starting from Yumen Pass, there is only one railway to the east, that is, the railway that is directly built to Chang'an City, but it is divided into two to the west, one is the south side, from the industrial city, Ake City, Loulan City, Yanqi City to the west along the Tarim River Basin, until the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

The southern side of the Tarim Basin in the middle, at the foot of the mountains on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau, has not yet been built, but in the future, the railway will inevitably circle the entire Tarim Basin.

The route on the south side is not long, the main reason is that the main construction force of the Han Dynasty is all placed on the north side, and the road built on the north side has been from the iron mine, the coal mine Yiwu City, then the Gaochang City, and then all the way to the west, through Xinjiang to the only gap in the Pamir Plateau, leaving the Kunlun Mountains into Central Asia.

Then, after entering Central Asia, it moved south, all the way to the territory of what was later Pakistan, and only stopped here, but because the northern part of Pakistan was still mountainous, the train was detoured south from the territory of Afghanistan in later times, almost along the border with Sassanid Persia.

Therefore, there are 10,000 Xuanwu troops stationed here, and the reason why no cavalry was sent was because He Molu's department was not far ahead, and if Persia dared to make a move, Huo Gang would dare to directly let the Turks change direction and directly kill Persia first.

Obviously, Persia at this time did not have the courage at all, or the Persian dynasty at this time was already at the end of the dynasty, and in 628 the last powerful king of the Persian dynasty, Kuslao II, was betrayed, and then the Persian country almost began to split, and all the lands that had occupied a considerable part of the Byzantine Empire were lost.

The second is to deal with the large rear of Persia, that is, the Arabian Peninsula region, the rise of the Arab Empire caught the whole Persia off guard, so Persia at this time is a soft persimmon.

During this period, a certain sect on the peninsula had been established and had unified the Arabian Peninsula, although the other party had not yet begun to expand externally, but was only in a stable situation, but it was necessary to know that Sassanid Persia also had a part of the territory on the peninsula.

There is such a powerful country in the neighbor behind him, how can Persia not be alert, the most important thing is that this is different from Huo Gang's here, although the Han is very powerful, the population of the Han is not large, and it seems that the center of the Han is still further east.

And the Han seems to occupy a lot of rich places, so the Han does not have a strong desire to expand, but the newly built country behind it is different, this country is located in the worst area of the peninsula, and their land is not rich, but the land here in Persia is much richer than theirs, so they have more possibility of attacking.

What's more, the Han has already warned Persia, and according to the content of the Han's warning, as long as they don't do it, the Han will definitely not take the initiative to do it. Of course, there was another reason, which was that they wanted to start with their old enemy, the Byzantine Empire, and in the middle they joined an Arab Empire.

Of course...... This was deliberate by Huo Gang, anyway, in the warning content of the Great Han, it was all about asking Persia not to try to provoke, the Great Han only occupied all the territories of the original Turks, and all the territories of the former Turks belonged to the Great Han.

As for whether the Han will engage in Persia, I didn't say anyway, you think that's your own business.

The train will definitely continue to move forward, but to continue to build a bridge across the Putuo River, which is later known as the Indus River, but such a bridge cannot be built in a short time.

It will take at least three years to be possible, so although the bridge project has been approved, it is only to investigate the hydrological and geographical conditions, but the impact plain of the Putuo River basin is an important river basin for Dahan to gain a foothold here.

As for the Turks of the Hemolu tribe, they have all crossed the Putuo River valley and entered the southeast side of the Putuo River basin, which is almost bordering the Jieri Dynasty, and all the local residents who were originally in the Putuo River valley have been directly driven away by the Turks of the Hemolu tribe.

Therefore, the land area of the Han Dynasty is not counted as the western land area of Russia in later generations, because it is now a barren land, of course, the official map of the Han Dynasty must have directly divided it, not counting the north for the time being, it has reached 7 million square kilometers, if even the area of the north that continues to the Arctic Ocean is counted, the current land area of the Han Dynasty has reached nearly 9.2 million square kilometers.

This is already very close to the land area of later generations, more than 9 million square kilometers of land, only 7.2 million people, an average of less than one square kilometer, larger than the per capita area of later generations of Russians.

Of course, this number will inevitably change significantly over time, but at that time, the land area of Dahan will also change significantly.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about the current situation of the Turkic people of He Modu, He Molu's body has now become very healthy because of the effect of the spiritual spring water, plus he continues to ride a horse and lead the army forward, all He Molu's body is also very strong.

He is only in his forties now, almost the same as the middle-aged people in his forties who regularly exercise in later generations, and even stronger than the people in later generations, and he has no physical problems, if he continues like this, He Molu estimates that there will be no problems in living to be more than ninety years old.

So now He Molu no longer has any doubts about Huo Gang's identity as the god of Haotian, he is now Huo Gang's fanatical believer, there is no way, the former He Molu feels that his body is no longer good, and people are actually very sensitive to their own bodies.

At that time, he couldn't even play with women, and although his grade in his forties was not the longest among the Turks, it was basically the lifespan of most Turks.

But Huo Gang regained his health and youth, and even his originally gray hair began to turn black again, and He Molu found a few more women, and even gave birth to several sons for him.

And Minister Mingyue has already given him a promise that after his success, his son can return to Dahan, and part of his wealth Dahan will provide to his son, so that his son will become a rich man, and if he has a chance, it is not a problem to become an official of Dahan. Dahan will never limit the development of a person because of his origin, unless the person has ulterior motives.

For this point, He Molu has begun to become fanatical, and this leader of He Molu is like this, because of his influence The other Turks are even more convinced of Huo Gang's faith, there is no way, whether He Molu is pretending to be or not, he is now a fanatic in front of all the other people in the He Molu tribe he leads.

And in his state of being a fanatical believer, his body was getting better and better in front of everyone's eyes, and even his hair was black again, which made all the Turks believe that it was because of his faith that Huo had just rejuvenated him.

Therefore, the belief of the entire He Molu tribe in Haotian Sect is the deepest, of course, there is another reason why these people's beliefs are so deep, if their tribe simply migrates to its current location, it will not take five years at all.

But Huo Gang didn't urge, so they migrated very slowly, and during their winter, the Han also continued to replenish them with food, woolen clothes and other clothes for winter, which were not provided for free.

It is not provided for free, but the price is extremely low, so low that these Turks dare not believe it, and even some sick Turks can turn to doctors from the Han Ministry of Health, who are not far behind their tribe.

Therefore, these Turks all believe that the leader of Huo Gang, the incarnation of Haotian God, has actually forgiven them a long time ago, because their faith has forgiven them, but because they have not done what they promised, so the leader has mercy on them, but he cannot lack fairness, so he can only help them by selling them for free, but there is almost no difference between helping them for free.

In such a way, the beliefs of these Turkic peoples ...... That's called a strong, in fact, to this day, if it weren't for He Modu's constant pulling, all the time saying that without the consent of the leader, those people below the He Molu tribe would have rushed to the Jieri Dynasty with a roar and started to attack.

That's right, the entire Hemolu tribe is now in an extremely fanatical mood, from old to young, because in the past five years of migration, the original population of the Hemolu tribe was about 670,000, but instead of reducing the number of people, the population has increased to nearly 800,000.

And with the big man providing them with supplies from behind, all the prime people became stronger physically, and they could even eat meat. Of course, the reason why they can eat meat is also because of Huo Gang's sponsorship.

If you want the horse to run, you naturally have to give the horse sooner or later, and the strategy of He Modu's department has basically been cultivated by now.

In the past five years, the number of sheep, cattle, and horses in the Hemo tribe has not decreased too much, mainly because they are not short of food and food, so of course these have basically been retained, which is also the reason why the entire tribe believes in Haotian Sect so much.

Because of such a large-scale migration of the entire tribe, in the past, there must have been deaths, even if there were not many dead, but the sheep and so on must have been lost, and most of the lost sheep were slaughtered because they did not want to die.

But many times, the flock is gone, and the flock is less, which will lead to a series of disasters, and the tribe behind is still going to die.
