Chapter 432: The Situation in the Western Regions

Wing Lung nine years.

Summer.

Anzai Prefecture Protectorate.

Although the current research on radio must not be known to the Liaodong side.

However, this did not affect Datang in the slightest to apply radio to the military.

This is not!

This year, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which was the original royal city of the Qiuzi Kingdom, also installed a radio in order to facilitate communication and contact.

And almost all of the people who stayed here to guard were Li Xiang's old subordinates.

In terms of loyalty, it can be trusted.

All I can say is......

Try to keep this stuff from getting around as quickly as possible.

I saw that the guard general was also taken aback when he looked at this thing, especially when he heard His Majesty's voice from the microphone.

The ancients who didn't understand the principle of this thing almost thought that there was some monster at work.

Fortunately, after some explanation, the other party finally accepted this.

But be reasonable!

This thing actually makes the guard quite uncomfortable.

That's all I have to say.

Your Majesty, if you have such a thing by the minister's side, isn't that just a surveillance minister?

It's also a loss that Li Xiang didn't send a civil official like the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, or like the Ming Dynasty, he also sent a eunuch to take care of this matter.

Li Xiang directly handed over the radio to the other party for safekeeping.

Otherwise......

The other party should not say that it is uncomfortable, but that it is time to be unhappy.

In a word......

Even if the other party has now arrived in such a distant place as the Anxi Protectorate, as a result, he still has to listen to His Majesty's nagging every day.

It's annoying!

Of course!

It can't be said that this is not at all beneficial.

After all......

In this way, the relationship between himself and His Majesty will be even closer.

Originally, Li Chong wanted to be a little bolder.

The soldiers' letter service is also online.

But after thinking about it in the end, I temporarily dispelled such an idea.

After all......

What if one has to write something in a family letter that cannot be shown to others?

Especially some things that are very related to personal privacy.

Li Chong could not let them speak directly to their families.

All I can say is......

It depends!

In the future, there may be a good chance that it will be possible, but not yet.

And it's about new technology.

Usually, it is not always used in the military first, and then gradually extended to the common people.

As for when exactly will it be......

Li Chong can only say that he doesn't know either.

this year.

On the side of the Western Regions, the Zhao State, after getting the addition of the Anxi Army, also had a slightly smooth attack on the Fula.

After all......

Last year, they were in a hurry.

And this year, they have been prepared for all kinds of unexpected situations.

It's not ......

In less than three months, the army was already under the city of Constantinople.

Merely......

Don't say it, this Constantinople is really hard to break.

Even though......

The Don Army had such weapons as artillery and return artillery.

But they also have Greek fire, and if they attack rashly, they will probably suffer heavy losses.

At last......

It was Justinian II, the former king of the Whira Kingdom, who thought of a solution.

Although Constantinople is a strong city, it is not without its weaknesses.

During the siege, Justinian II suddenly remembered that there was an aqueduct to the west of the city that led down from the hill to the city.

The role is to ensure the capital's water supply.

It's a great break for a weak defense.

Thereupon......

They selected hundreds of elite soldiers, climbed the aqueduct in the darkness of the night, and followed the current into the city.

Surprise attack on the defenders, and soon capture Constantinople in one fell swoop.

After this battle, Justinian II also said that he would always be a vassal to Zhao and the Tang Dynasty.

Let's not say that what he said is false or not, at least, he must pay tribute to Zhao Guo every year, this is true!

And it's all real money!

It should be said......

There is such a custom in the whole West.

It's like China, you don't need to pay tribute to others after you fight.

Even if someone else comes to pay tribute, the key is to return it to others twice.

Soon......

July.

The news was sent back to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

And the Anxi Protectorate naturally reported the situation in the Western Regions to Li Xiang.

It was the radio that was used.

All I can say is......

It's really amazing!

If it were according to the past, they would have to wait at least more than 20 days, or even a month, to get the news.

And......

And that's without knowing how many legs I broke when I ran away.

The advantages of this messaging are on full display at this moment.

Sometimes......

Even Li Xiang has to admit that Li Chong is really the kind of person who can't give him a reward if you want to.

Because he's doing just so well!

Finished......

Li Xiang asked Li Tian to lead the two beauties back.

Li Tian felt that His Majesty didn't want to let his Aya be exhausted.

After all, he's so old!

But......

What if Aya just likes it?

So......

Let's take it back.

Then, due to the large number of people, Li Chong could only build a large garden on the outskirts of the city, and then send everyone in.

As for when you will enjoy it......

I can only say that I will wait for him to be free.

Or rather......

He wouldn't go at all.

Mainly, it may be because I like Silla too much for the time being, so I'm a little tired of other women.

this year.

The railway was also gradually built to Shanzhou.

Other than that......

There have also been many breakthroughs in the construction of bridges in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now......

Many bridges have already been built.

Then the next step is to open up the transportation channel with Lingnan.

Maybe this one, at least it will take more than ten years, and then Lingnan will be opened.

Basically, except for the southwestern border, which may still be a little difficult to control, other places can be said to be completely included in Datang's actual control.

Yangzhou.

Now, with the people's recognition of paper money, most of the copper has also been recycled by the government.

The advent of paper money has made it convenient for many people.

Meantime......

This original phenomenon of bad money in the Jiangnan area has been curbed to a certain extent due to the emergence of paper money.

When everyone is accustomed to using paper money to trade, then the circulation of copper coins in the market will naturally be greatly reduced.

Of course!

Now those who originally made bad money have turned to see if they can copy the banknotes.

After all......

In their eyes, it's just a piece of paper.

I have to say!

Their spirit of study is very admirable, but it is not used in the right path.

But......

For most people, it is still difficult to imitate this banknote.

So......

This is equivalent to setting a threshold, and then 99% of the people who originally made bad money are now blocked out.

How simple it used to be.

As long as you can master some simple metal smelting skills, you can do it.

The current word......

You can't do it without a small team.
