Episode 92: The war is over(1/2)

West Garden, Qinzheng Hall.

Jia Qiang, Li Luan, and Li Tang Tian family's ancestors and grandchildren are all here. Li Tang has begun to observe politics since he was fifteen, and it has been more than three years since then.

Starting next year, after becoming the crown prince of the Great Yan, he would go to the Tangfan Army to serve in the military and supervise the construction of the Tangfan Railway.

Now, the Great Yan government and the people have actually reached a consensus that the railway is the foundation for maintaining such a huge empire’s stability!

After the local government built the railways between prefectures, prefectures and counties in the capital, and no one doubted it anymore.

Soldiers are more important than speed. What kind of soldiers can transport troops quickly through railways?

In this era, railway transportation, coupled with the configuration of light cavalry, musketeers and artillery, is invincible in the world!

In the hall, there were also military ministers such as Yu Wanzhou, Zheng Jie, Zhao Siyang, Li Chuncheng, Zhang Borong, and Wang Zhengxin, as well as the governors of the five armies such as Dong Chuan, Dong Ning Hou Zhang Tai, and Dong Chuan Hou Chen Ran.

In addition, there are also important officials such as Jia Lan, Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, Yu Xinyun, and Ma Jie, the Chief of the Railway Army.

On the elevated roof in the hall, there is a map hanging.

But it is not the local map of Dayan, but the map of the world and the world!

In addition to the local area, there are also Qin vassals, Han vassals, Tang vassals, Song vassals and other provinces, as well as Qin vas, Han vas, Eros and Europa.

Of course, the map is far less precise than the high-definition maps that Jia Qiang had seen in his previous life.

But the outline is still the same...

On this map, many lines were outlined with black pen.

The most eye-catching one is the longest black line running through Qinzhou, Hanzhou, Qinzhou, Hanzhou, Hanzhou, Tangzhou, Songzhou and Eros from east of Ural Mountain to the capital!

"You all have a look. I chatted with the prince for a night last night, and Li Tang was also on the side. The three of us all agreed that these black lines will be the main direction for the imperial court in the next thirty years. If you are slower, it will be the main direction for Dayan to move forward within fifty years."

"With the whole country's strength, open these railways!"

"I don't know how long Li Yan's country can last. Maybe it will take longer, or maybe it will still be difficult to escape the disaster of three hundred years of reincarnation."

"But as long as these railways are opened, I can be sure that it will consolidate the steel foundation for the Han Dynasty's great power!!"

"Even if there will be another war in the future, it will be a civil war between the Han people. I will not die with my eyes open and regret that I have been in vain in this world..."

After the shocking remark was persuaded by the ministers, Yu Wanzhou walked to the map and looked at the thick black lines with a shocked face, especially the one that crossed the northern border Eros. After a long time, Fang slowly said: "Your Majesty, the railways of the Qin vassal are easy to build, and the railways are easy to build. Not to mention the Tang vassal, there is more than 200 million Dingkou, and the terrain is flat. After the repair, the control of the imperial court will be strengthened again and it is expected to be strong. As for Qinzhou and Hanzhou, according to the files sent back over the years, it is not difficult to build the railways. But the emperor, the northern part is full of ice and snow!"

Zhao Siyang nodded immediately and said, "It's not that the princes are unable to cultivate, but now that they are going out to find a country, they want more than 70% of them to be Han people. The court has a heavy burden, especially shipping. But it is still worth it, because although the prince only recognizes Da Yan as the sect leader and has great power and independence, as the emperor said, as long as the Han family is in power, it is worth it.

In those places, there are countless fertile soil and no one cultivates it. All kinds of resources are abundant, and they will always be needed by the Great Yan.

Therefore, by borrowing and lending, helping the kings enfeoffed the country and build roads, and using mining resources as a reward, instead of the unilateral contribution of Da Yan, can help the kings establish their country and enhance the national strength of Da Yan. This is a method of both.

However, the northern border is thousands of miles wide, with ice and snow, and birds cannot cross it.

Building such a railway is so expensive and beyond imagination, including road construction workers.

Over the years, the dividends left by the Tang vassals to our vassal people have been less than 40 million... In this way, they are still distributed all over the world."

"otherwise!"

Dong Chuan, the Marquis of Xuande, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Although the northern land is a bitter and cold wilderness, it is definitely not unprofitable."

These straightforward words made many people in the hall laugh.

Yu Wanzhou also smiled, but did not interrupt Dong Chuan's words.

Dong Chuan continued: "I have been stationed in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years and have sent scouts and spies to the land of Eros. The news I got was that near the Lena River in Irkutsk, a large number of Eros were exploring gold there, and there were a lot of gold. In addition, there were more iron ore and coal.

However, in our governor's view, these are second. Even without these, from a strategic perspective, if the vast territory of the North cannot be held in the hands of the Han family, then this land in the future will definitely become our enemy, the rear and depth of the hostile forces!

After losing important colonies such as Qinzhou and Hanzhou, the Western barbarians will definitely covet this place. Once they succeed, there will be endless troubles!

Even if the Great Yan can occupy most of the fertile land in the world, it cannot truly be invincible and cut off the biggest worries.

If the railway can be built and the infinite ice and snow are controlled in hand, then thousands of years later, the enemy of Dayan will have no other way to rely on private tricks to instigate wars between the fiefdoms in order to overthrow us.

The most important thing is that only by holding this land in your hands can the northern border of Dayan be truly free of worries!

As early as a hundred years ago, behind the troubles of the northern border were the Eros people.

So my opinion is that this railway must be fully built and well-built!"

Chen Ran, the man from Dongchuan, nodded and agreed: "Yes, this railway is a masterpiece! The forty-nine and fifty-highs are really great. Who would have thought that the two young masters could achieve success far beyond Huo Piqiu's cavalry back then! This territory is of no place to the local land of Dayan, even under Qinzhou or even Hanzhou. Once the railway is built, in addition to garrisoning along the towns on the railway line, the eight major armies in the northern border can be transferred away! In the future, you only need to rebuild the production and construction corps. In this way, the burden on the court will be greatly reduced.

I want to say something more, the two little princes are amazing, it is really amazing! The capture of the Fortress of Eros in the snow and ice is beyond my imagination, and beyond the imagination of the Eros people.

You should know that the two high men did not have sufficient logistics supplies, they were just food for the enemy, and even the supply of medicine had to be seized from the hands of the Rakshasa ghost.

It's hard to imagine, it's really hard to imagine!

In the history of military strategists thousands of years later, the names of two Your Highnesses will be left behind!"

Quanning Hou Zhang Tai also smiled and said, "It is this unimaginable that the two high men have made a shocking situation! After using a surprise attack to capture a fortress, the ones behind are naturally outstanding. The others are naturally outstanding, but what I value most is the killing nature of the two high men.

Eros is known for his ferocity. Most of the reputation of Rakshasa ghosts comes from the Cossack Iron Cavalry. Even the Khalkha Mongol Iron Cavalry in the early years were defeated by their iron hooves, and they often peeled their heads and used their skulls as wine glasses. As a result, they met two His Highnesses, and they didn't even leave a few serious savages.

It's good to kill! I heard that on the Ural Mountain, I was even more ruthless. The Rakshasa devils had never seen such an army that could kill!"

When Jia Qiang heard this, he said proudly: "Little Forty-Nine and Little Fifty, although they are bold, they are naturally rich and have no trace of tactics. They can fight whatever they want and win any battles! The female emperor of Eros is known as a generation of heroes. Eros is constantly expanding and expanding in her hands. So what can you do now? What else can you do except send envoys to wail and accuse the Lifan Courtyard? I have ordered the twenty-four and them to send supplies to them. Now the two little things are strong and have sufficient ammunition. I will tell that the old lady Eros will not be able to take advantage of her!"

However, his eyes became deeper again, and he said, "How much effort did I have put in a few years ago? I tried my best to make people say that I had subdued the Western Bernoulli family, the Euler school, and the Huigens school came to Dayan to study. Unfortunately, it was stopped by the old woman. This time, I still want to see if she can stop my family from being a thousand miles away!"

Li Luan smiled and said, "The wonders of mathematics and physics are indeed beyond imagination. The father attaches great importance to these people so much, and it seems that they are all great talents." Gu Gu

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "It is not an exaggeration to pay attention to these people. The Royal Academy of Sciences of the Great Yan has made rapid progress over the years and has made some gains. But it is still a bit worse than them. If these people are not introduced to the Great Yan, it is possible to shake the foundation of the Great Yan in the future."

Not to mention the other person, just talking about Euler, is to amazed the existence of an era.

Everyone in the past life knew that the Russians' mathematics was top-notch. After the Russians broke up, their economy had collapsed to that point, and it still did not hinder the strength of the military industry. But the challenge to the beautiful country is because of its extremely powerful mathematics.

The reason why Maozi mathematics is so strong is because of one person, that is Euler.

It was Euler's disciples who supported the strong confidence of the Russians in later generations.

When Li Luan heard this, his face became solemn and said, "If this is the case, you must do it for the Dayan no matter what!"

Zhang Tai smiled and said, "Direction Erosla directly! It's not bad to destroy another country!"

The next Yuanfu Zheng Jie slowly said: "The person you want to get or something else can be discussed. The two high men can also continue to attack on the Ural Mountain, but the war has reached its limit and cannot continue. The Han Dynasty war has fought for seven years and consumed so much that it is beyond imagination. Even though the national strength has not been exhausted, it has delayed its development.

What's more, with the great expansion of territory, the 800 million Dingkou is actually in short supply.

In the next ten years, the primary task of Dayan will remain the reproduction of Dingkou.

Secondly, it is the construction of existing territory, such as the paving of large railways, the further improvement of compulsory military service system and compulsory education, and the establishment of powerful and honest governments at all levels...

Every item is an urgent task!

And war must be the last choice.”

Seeing that Jia Qiang had no intention of speaking, Li Luan smiled and said, "Zheng Xiang said so much. In summary, the Great Yan has actually fought for decades. Even in the past twenty years, it has been mostly helping the kings to establish the country and beat the edge drums. In fact, the war has not stopped, especially the seven years of fierce battles in the Han Dynasty. However, the northern land conquered by Xiao Forty and Xiao Fifty and others cannot be lost."

Zheng Jie nodded and said, "Your Highness clearly understands the importance of the northern land, and I also know it. However, my suggestion is to take the railways of the Tang vassals, Qin vassals, Song vassals and other provinces first. The second is Qin vassals, Han vassals, and finally the northern land. There are three reasons:

First, there is insufficient labor. The vassals and people from other provinces are indeed easy to use, but no one is a fool. After so many years of consumption, nearly 100 million people from other provinces have been spent. Before the tenth year of Yuanwu, cases of vassals rising up in chaos were rare. Even if there are some, most of them are not in a state of chaos. However, in the tenth year of Yuanwu, the vassals and people from other provinces were heard almost every month. The scale of chaos that could be spread to the center will never be small!

If so many railways start construction at the same time, the number of people consumed by the vassals will increase sharply, which will inevitably greatly intensify the conflict. In the short term, the news of people in the vassals and people from other provinces will be in a panic of fire!

Even if you can suppress the rebellion with your hands, it will also cause unstable consequences unless the court is ready to kill all tens of millions of vassals."

"The second is that the national strength is not accumulated enough and it will never be able to support the opening of so many railways at the same time. Whether it is transportation capacity, steel production, or the high-quality wood consumed by sleepers, it is impossible to provide so many railway paving at the same time."

"Third, technical accumulation is insufficient. As far as I know, when laying the railways in the Western Regions and the northern desert grasslands, labor loss is extremely large, especially on the ice and snow soil. It is very difficult to lay the steel rails and the progress is also very slow. Therefore, I think why not proceed step by step and first pave the railways of the Tang Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty and other provinces, and then pave the Qinzhou and Hanzhou railways. With sufficient technical means to accumulate, and then pave the railways of the northern ice fields, isn't it more appropriate?

There is no need to worry about the loss of the north. Since the Forty-Nine Highness and the Fifty Highness can fight, please ask them to block the Ural Mountain, build a royal city, and block the way for the Rakshasa ghosts to advance eastward! All the food and grass supply and consumption are available, the local area can supply it!

After 20 years of support, the vassal states of Dayan and the kings will surely be extremely powerful. At that time, it will be no problem to build the North Metro Railway."

Jia Qiang looked at the Grand Secretary who had controlled the power of the world for the next ten years. Seeing that his eyes were firm and did not retreat because of his gaze, he narrowed his eyes slightly. After a while, just as the atmosphere of Your Highness became more and more depressing, Jia Qiang looked at Yu Wanzhou and saw that Yu Wanzhou nodded slightly, smiling very comfortedly. Jia Qiang also smiled and said, "Zheng Qing's intention is consistent with the prince. I had a long dispute with me last night, and I only came to ask you about your intentions. Well, I will abdicate. After all, you will take over the world and do it according to your ideas.

But you have to make a plan, set a goal with five years as a phase, and look back at what has been completed and what has not been completed, so it is also easy to summarize and reflect. For the second five years...

In short, I, Long Yu, returned to heaven, and the black lines on this map are about to be implemented.

Otherwise, I will not follow it.”

...

Hanyuan Palace.

Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang with a smile on her face and smiled, and said strangely: "Why are the emperor so happy today?"

Even though his daughter-in-law Han was there, Jia Qiang did not avoid it. He naturally took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that the prince has received a wise minister."

Under Daiyu's questioning, he roughly told about today's story.

However, Daiyu was happy first and then worried, saying, "Even if the emperor dares to stick to his own opinions, then if he has disagreements with the prince in the future, it will probably be difficult to reconcile."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "What I am afraid of is not the irreconcilable Yuanfu, but the silly prime minister. A Yuanfu, who has no military power, has no foundation for rebellion. This red line, this dead line, has been cut to death! Of course, it may be shaken in a thousand years. But at least in the past three hundred years, it may not happen much.

I actually want to see that during the reign of the prince, there was a tough Yuanfu fighting against him and he was not killed by him in the end. In this way, the position of Yuanfu could be consolidated. There would be no tyrant king in the future, and the entire Great Yan Empire would collapse immediately.

The possibility of a foolish monarch is far greater than the possibility of a powerful official."

When Daiyu heard this, she was so angry that she was half angry, because the king of later generations must be her legitimate son and grandson, so how could a foolish monarch appear?

After she looked at Jia Qiang angrily, she asked again: "All the overseas kings really want to come back this time? That's a great reunion!"
