Chapter 1435: Emergency Drill
The two brothers don't know what to say, in the trade with the Western Regions, they also have two caravans at home, and they can also bring a lot of money to the family every year, since everyone has to lose this part, then they have nothing to say, not to mention that the two brothers are still the commanders of the army stationed in the Western Regions, let alone drag the imperial court back.
Li Chengyi has nothing to worry about, this guy has no interests in the Western Regions, he raised his hands in favor of such a move by the imperial court, and he also found out outside, when the imperial court's military station was set up, many people who wanted to rebel against the imperial court were hidden.
Originally, he wanted to dig out these people, but later Li Xiang also told them that once these people are hidden, it may be a lifetime, because they still have a chance to succeed in rebellion now, but if they are hidden like this, it is estimated that there will be no chance at all in the future.
As the days of peace pass more and more, the people of the Western Regions are not willing to rebel with them, so once these people are hidden, it means that this life is over, which is also what the Tang Dynasty court wants to see the most, in the future, we will do one thing, that is, to do a good job in the economy of the Western Regions, so that the lives of the people can be effectively raised to a higher level, who would want to rebel against them? Rebellion is to kill the head, and no one has a second head.
A few people have been in the tent for a long time, and they can just come out to visit this military station, which is also the largest within a range of dozens of miles nearby, especially Xiao Shougui and his civilian officials, who have not even seen the model before, and now they need to know more about it, which is also a place for them to save their lives.
After the implementation of the state and county system in the Western Regions, more than 20 officials were killed by the locals, so the construction of the military station could not be delayed, if there was a military station near their station, the lives of these people might be saved, and if something crisis happened, the military station could be signaled immediately, and the army here could pass in the shortest possible time.
If the situation is extremely critical, then these people can also ride fast horses to dodge, as long as you can enter the gate of the military station, with the current social strength of the local area, it is absolutely impossible to do anything to you, unless they also have the armament of the Tang army, but this is impossible.
After the end of the war, Cheng Chumo issued an order in the entire Western Regions, if anyone picks up the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty army, and does not hand it in within a month, the whole family will show it, and he has actually killed a lot of people, which can be regarded as making all the people in the Western Regions afraid.
The area of the military station is not very large, it is only about 5,000 square meters, most of the place is a small square for training, and there is a circle of horse sheds around it, which is specially used to breed their war horses, and now many soldiers have been training outside.
The height of the surrounding wall is about two and a half meters, most of which are local adobe, if you want to use a masonry structure, it is really a bit too difficult, but the commissioner of the imperial court has said that in the next one to two years, it is necessary to add a layer of masonry to the outside of these adobes, otherwise, these adobe embryos will not last long, but at this stage, if you want to transport the bricks over, it is still more difficult, so use adobe to top it first.
"Some of our Ministry of Industry officials have already started to look for suitable soil in the Western Regions, and if we find them, then we will be able to burn bricks in the Western Regions, and then I can collect materials nearby, and I don't need to transport them from the Central Plains, which saves money and time."
This proposal was also put forward by Xiao Shougui, instead of transporting a large number of bricks from the Central Plains to this side, it is better to send a few technical officials to let them find suitable soil in the Western Regions, although most of the Western Regions are deserts and the Gobi Desert, but there are still some oases, if we can find them, it will do a big deal for us.
"Then I have to invite these people to have a drink, let them work hard, this adobe wall looks like there is no problem in the first year, I'm afraid it will be a little unstrong in the second year, but if you add a layer of bricks to the outer layer, although it can't catch up with the city wall in our Central Plains, but at least half of the ability, now the surrounding is not stable, our defense work must be done well."
Cheng Chuliang said happily, originally thought that all the bricks would be transported from the Central Plains, even if they were transported from Gaochang Kingdom, it would take a lot of time on the road, but if a few brickyards were built in the Western Regions, it would save a lot of time.
The most important thing is that we make bricks ourselves, the cost can be reduced very little, we can't ask the court for money for everything, the court has more places to spend money, other regions don't want money, if we ask for money every day, then the officials in our region may be stuck with the hat of not doing things.
Now everyone is working so hard in the Western Regions, isn't it just to be promoted in the future? If you can't do anything in the eyes of the imperial court, then even if you are transferred back to the capital, it is very likely that you will find an idle job to place you, so is there a future in this life? Even if it's Li Xiang's brother-in-law, it's useless.
The two of them can see it, and when they are Li Xiang's brother-in-law, sometimes they can give you a chance, but you have to fight, take the opportunity of the Western Regions, the sand that the two brothers have eaten in the past two years is estimated to be about the same as their weight, this is the opportunity given by Li Xiang.
If you can't grasp it, or if you don't have the strength, then you can honestly be a rich son in Chang'an City.
"Emergency Drill ......"
Just when a few people wanted to continue the inspection, the stationmaster of the military station shouted, and hundreds of soldiers around him immediately climbed the surrounding wall in full armor, and even the guy who was cooking had a knife in his hand, and the people who were sleeping in the house also ran and assembled their weapons.
Cheng Chuliang and the others were also looking at these people, silently calculating the time in their hearts, all the armies in the Western Regions are attacking with war horses, if your speed is not fast enough, the enemy will be able to reach you in the blink of an eye, and the two-meter-high wall will not be able to trap them for long, so now the time to fight is to save your own life, this kind of emergency drill is almost once or twice a day......
