Chapter 456: Restore the Right Path
After returning the captured Master Zhuling and 500 monks and soldiers of Wanzang Temple, both the Buddhist soldiers of Wanzang Temple who came to beg and surrender and the surrendered Shazhou Guiyi Army all felt that getting along and communicating with each other were more relaxed.
Lei Changye didn't have a plan for a million troops to attack the city of Xihu Wangcheng, and this plan was used to scare people. Now that Master Wanzang is begging for help, he naturally will not bring his family background to the Wangcheng Plateau to challenge the high difficulty of fighting under altitude sickness.
A few days later, Lei Changye sailed back to Chang'an to restore his life and brought back Emperor Kaicheng's reply. Emperor Kaicheng gave Lei Changye carte blanche as the governor of the three regions of the Western Regions, and officially accepted Xihu's surrender. Master Chu Ling and Lei Changye officially completed the surrender ceremony, and presented the Wuru topographic map to Lei Changye in front of all the surrendered soldiers to show their obedience.
All the Xihu soldiers already knew the news of the collapse of the dynasty, and now they saw that Wanzang Temple had sacrificed land to sue for peace, and they more deeply realized that the general trend of Xihu had gone, and finally broke off the last trace of thought about the homeland.
Since then, the Xihu Wuru Military Administrative Region has nominally been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and although the Xihu Wangcheng has maintained its independence, it still recognizes the Tang Dynasty as its suzerain, and pays tribute every year.
The Great Slave Revolt is still raging in the land of Xihu Wuru and will take some time to subside. Lei Changye appointed Zhang Yitan as the nominal governor of Wuru, and Master Wuzhen as the professor of Wuru Shimendu, and led the elite of the Guiyi Army to recover the four towns of Qiuzi, Shule, Khotan, and Yanqi, and established outposts.
He asked Wuzhen to select a group of monks and soldiers with excellent skills and excellent understanding in Turing Temple. Let them follow Wang Mang and Jiang to learn how to use the camel cart and the Thunder Sword Man. At the same time, he mobilized Xianyin Tu and Workshop Tu, and once again made a hundred donkey-type camel carts to distribute to the monks and soldiers, so that they could drive camel carts back and forth between the four towns and Shazhou.
The Guiyi New Army, which was gradually taking shape in Shazhou, was divided into several teams by Zhang Yitan and stationed in four towns in camel carts to maintain the garrison of the Silk Road in the Western Regions.
Since then, the Tang Dynasty has subdued all the lost territories in Anxi, Beiting, and Hexi, returning the territory to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
The destruction of Xihu and the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, this series of sensational news quickly spread back to Chang'an, and through the picture box, it quickly spread throughout the 48 square towns of the Tang Dynasty.
In the court of Chang'an, all the civil and military officials were overjoyed, and they sang praises to Emperor Kaicheng and sang praises. The authority of Emperor Kaicheng reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.
The festival envoys, observation envoys, and soldiers and horses envoys of the forty-eight square towns have written to celebrate, and many of the festival marshals who have been delaying the payment of the two taxes under various excuses have expressed their self-blame, and swore that they will make up all the payments. All of a sudden, the disintegrated towns of the Tang Dynasty suddenly became loyal, benevolent and righteous heirlooms, and became the dead soldiers of the royal family, which opened the eyes of the people everywhere.
Hedong and Weibo made Bai Qi take advantage of the general trend of the Tang Dynasty to swear allegiance and raise a large army? A battle of blood and fire was launched against the barbarians of Mobei.
Bai Qi ordered Huaxiong and Li Ru to lead 100,000 Hedong troops? Pocket arrays are laid in the north of Youzhou, waiting for rabbits. He himself led an army of one hundred and fifty camel carts? Bring enough food rations for a month with the Treasure Bag? Like a bloody lightning bolt swept through the barbarian tribes of Mobei and recovered Yingzhou? Break the city of Yan County and destroy the city of Jian'an? Pinggai Mu City? Crossing the Yellow Water, raiding Shanbei, Lingxi, and Nezhi, crossing the Wangjian River, and reaching the west bank of the Heishui.
Under the strangulation of camel carts for thousands of miles? The Mobei barbarians who have been harassing the northern border of the Tang Dynasty are at a loss? Successive defeats and countless casualties.
Some cunning barbarians took advantage of the opportunity of Bai Qi to fight with other tribes, and raided Hebei Province with elite cavalry, trying to penetrate Youzhou and enter the territory of Datang to wreak havoc? With offense as defense, Bai Qi was forced to retreat.
But they got headlong into the big pockets carefully prepared by Hua Xiong and Li Ru? Tens of thousands of elites were surrounded by 100,000 legions and killed them all.
When Bai Qi returns with the victories accumulated by destroying several clans? The Mobei barbarians have become a term in history.
When Baiqi's great victory was introduced to Chang'an, Chang'an City was celebrating the Spring Festival. Bai Qi took the captured barbarian leaders and the spoils of war of various tribes into Chang'an? Offering a prisoner to Emperor Kaicheng? Once again, it triggered the carnival of Chang'an and the craze of the whole country.
Datang is in the celebration of the whole world? It has entered the sixteenth year of hopeful opening. In the spring of this year, Lei Changye's Y Shuangyou rice varieties have been promoted to all state capitals in Datang, and after spring sowing, the grain harvested in the autumn will be more than ten times that of last year. Unless the entire Datang is in trouble, it is almost foreseeable that there will inevitably be a surplus of autumn grain this year. If disaster relief is profitable, no one in Datang will starve to death.
Refugees from all over the country returned to their hometowns and began their hard work in agriculture with the help of members of the Armed Forces League. The officials of the Datang Arrest Department deeply felt that their work was much easier than before, and the number of bandits in various places had decreased significantly. Countless people in the green forest didn't have the heart to fall into the grass and secretly ran back to their hometown. Many stubborn bandits were hunted down and killed by countless people in the rivers and lakes who coveted the popularity of the Martial Alliance, and died seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
Under the elite of Xuanjin and Xuanxiu, the Baiyin Volunteer Military Camp in Yangzhou is growing day by day, and a Baiyin Volunteer Army with a number of about 70,000 and excellent quality in all aspects is silently taking shape.
Lei Changye felt that Datang had no worries, so he once again summoned Ge Shangchuan and other senior Bashu craftsmen from Chang'an and Yangzhou, brought them to Shazhou, and hired them at several times the high salary of Chang'an, making Shazhou a new new city of ink workers.
In addition to facilities similar to those of the airport in Chang'an's Jinchangfang Development Zone and Yangzhou's Leigong Town, the city's biggest feature is the Wumeng Camel Hang and the Wumeng Bird Hang, which are buildings with the style of ink and machinery. He also hopes to build another Wumeng Tianji Creation Institute, he himself is the director, and hires a group of craftsmen and Fu Sect disciples who are interested in ink machinery to be Tianji creators with high salaries, and develop a new ink machine for him.
At the same time, he hoped to establish a craftsman academy next to the Tianji Creation Institute, and hire dozens of famous Bashu craftsmen such as Ge Shangchuan as their leaders, and continue to train new Wumeng craftsmen here. In the future, with the development of the Western Regions, he will encounter more construction projects, and now this batch of Bashu craftsmen cannot be continuously consumed, he needs a batch of new blood to replenish.
Lei Changye stood on the city wall of Shazhou, overlooking the construction sites everywhere in the city, imagining what the new Dunhuang would look like in the future.
Now that he has abundant manpower, material resources and resources, he hopes to make this completely new city in his hands the first cyber city in his mind.
Cyber originally meant control in Blue Sea Starfish, and later evolved into an alternative word for network. Cyber City means that the entire city is controlled by a hidden force, with the rules set by the top, while the people at the bottom live a life of limited freedom under the control of the top.
According to this meaning, in fact, Daming Palace is the first cyber city of Lei Changye, but it is only a palace city. The current New Dunhuang is the starting point of Lei Changye's exploration of the Western Regions and even the world. He hopes that the city will be able to help him in all aspects of his westward expansion, including talent, technology, financial resources and resources.
To do this, he must have a certain sense of control in the city.
Therefore, in addition to the Heavenly Machine Creation Institute, the Camel Shop, the Bird Shop and the Craftsman Academy, he also planned to establish the Martial League Ordnance Bureau in the Wumeng branch here. In this Bureau, he will invent a royal steward puppet that can connect with the gods in Valhalla. These dolls are not meant to serve, but to fight.
Lei Changye decided to use these puppets as weapons. Each weapon is controlled by the warrior's divine consciousness that has been in a hundred battles, and there is no need for the cost of training, no need to consume his divine sense control, and no need for the five jade talismans to be blessed with the exorcism talisman to drive, only the Heavenly Thunder Talisman needs to last.
Silver Righteous who died in battle in Valhalla will be given the privilege of eternal life. But they must earn their own credentials to remain immortal in Valhalla. Lei Changye arranged for them to earn a way to earn money, that is, the divine consciousness served in the armoured army, and the income from their service was used to determine their residency in Valhalla.
If such a weapon is well designed, it can be used for decades with a Heavenly Thunder Talisman, and the warrior consciousness in the weapon can also accumulate experience in continuous battles, and even cultivation may improve by leaps and bounds. This is equivalent to having an ink machine that can be upgraded.
These soldiers rely on completing the tasks of the Wumeng to earn a salary for entering the painting chips, in fact, this painting chips do not cost a dime a long night, which is equivalent to earning in vain. They can help the camel caravan to trade, maintain the law and order of New Dunhuang, help Lei Changye to quell the rebellion, and conquer the Western Regions, without eating or resting, just like a perpetual motion machine.
But Lei Changye's armament plan didn't want to stop there. Among the Martial League, there are still many indigenous members who are eager to obtain the painting plan and enjoy immortality. They are practitioners themselves, but not every practitioner is able to reach the highest level. Now, Lei Changye's Picture Box provides another way to live forever.
It's a pity that the high cost of entering the painting discourages everyone. Therefore, the inclusion of the picture box is only the patent of the rich everywhere. However, sooner or later, one day people of all abilities in the Tang Dynasty will be eager to enter the painting box to enjoy immortality, and once the power of immortality is unevenly distributed, it will inevitably lead to unprecedented turmoil.
Lei Changye needs to at least meet the needs of the members of the Martial Alliance to enter the painting, and at the same time provide a way for the world's martial artists to earn the painting chips without spending money.
His Armament Bureau hopes to provide such a channel. In this way, all the men who can fight in the world have entered the Ordnance Bureau to serve, and the dispute over the right to immortality in the future is probably a group of scholars making trouble, and the trouble will be dispersed after three years.
At the same time, the appearance of a large number of weapons will also make him like a fish in water in the development of the Western Regions, and get twice the result with half the effort.
However, he must first make the current royal housekeeper into an inkcraft machine that can be connected to the divine consciousness in the Immortal Hidden Diagram.
