Chapter 678 The Strongest in the World, Black-Scarred Cavalry!

Chapter 678

On the opposite side, Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gen was already dumbfounded. He only wanted to find a fief for Wang Chong, but it never occurred to him that what Wang Chong wanted was to build a city by himself.

What shocked Wang Gen was Wang Chong's last sentence. There are indeed great business opportunities on the westbound road. If Wang Chong succeeds, as he said, it will be a truly unique business.

On the entire Silk Road, it will be the only city and the largest post station. All businessmen, not from the Western Regions, but from Tiaozhi and Dashi, as long as they want to operate, they will definitely not be able to bypass Wang Chong's city.

Throughout the Great Tang Empire, countless wealthy families, princes and dignitaries wanted to have a hand on the road to the west, but no one had ever succeeded. The reason is very simple. The first is that no one has thought about what Wang Chong said.

And the other one is that Datang has not opened a precedent for feudal cities for many years. Without fiefs, no one can build cities on the Silk Road.

With the emphasis of the Holy Emperor and the Silk Road, the first one from the imperial court will not be able to pass.

But now, Wang Chong has truly obtained the franchise. Wang Gen had to admit that he really underestimated this nephew. What he wants is much bigger than himself.

And once he succeeds, it is very likely that the Wang family's harvest will be much greater than that of a rich place like Zhaodi.

In the lobby, Wang Chong looked at the uncle who was obviously shocked by him, who was silent and thoughtful, and smiled in his heart without saying a word. The idea of ​​"city management" was not a big deal in the world he came from.

But in this world, this is obviously still a novelty, something that no one has ever set foot in.

"I only have one last question now. The construction of a city is no small matter. Especially this kind of thing from scratch, it is extremely costly. Even the court dare not easily say that a city is built on the westbound road. Moreover, You have already spent all your gold and silver to support the southwest, how can you build a city with only the three million taels of gold that the Holy Emperor rewarded you?"

Wang Gen asked.

The Lion City in the southwest is not very big, and it has already cost several million. And it's still an empty city. In the barren and barren land westward, the difficulty and cost of building a city is definitely far above the Lion City in the southwest.

And considering that Wang Chong may have to build some inns and the like, it will cost even more. This is by no means a royal family can support it.

If you want to build such a fiefdom from scratch, the kind of expense is enough to make most of the ancient, wealthy, and powerful families in the capital daunted and fearful.

"Hehe, this is even easier. There are so many aristocratic families and dignitaries in the capital, does uncle still worry about money?"

Wang Chong smiled casually and said indifferently. The world is bustling and bustling, all for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle for profit, Wang Chong of the Southwest War has already fully felt this.

Now it's just a repeat of the old trick.

In fact, he didn't even need to speak. In the entire capital, countless people were eagerly looking forward to cooperating with him.

"good!"

Hearing Wang Chong's words, Wang Gen suddenly slapped the table and stood up from the grand master's chair. When Wang Chong said he was going to seal the city in Wushang, he was still a little sullen at first, but now, the sullenness in Wang Gen's heart has been swept away, and his eyes are sharp and his expression is shining.

"Chong'er, uncle, I have never doubted your military talent. In terms of business,...no one in the entire royal family has more business acumen than you. I was most worried about your political acumen. Throughout the ages, I don't know how much Famous teachers and generals, because they don’t know the way of politics in the court, they bring disasters to themselves and even their families. The stronger the talent in the way of war, the higher the climb, the greater the disaster will be incurred.”

"I was always worried about this, after all, you are still too young. But now,... I am completely relieved."

Wang Gen's face was ruddy, and he looked extremely happy. "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty." The business of the independent business on the westbound road is indeed good, but it is also easy to cause huge disasters.

But if Wang Chong recruited other princes, dignitaries and aristocratic families in the capital together, everything would be completely different. That is equivalent to the princes and dignitaries of the entire capital, and the aristocratic families are all standing together with the Wang family.

Only relying on this one, the Wang family is invincible in the court, this is the real "unchangeable karma"!

In the future, even if Wang Chong really stepped into the imperial court and became a faction with real power, with his current popularity, he could definitely become an important figure in the imperial court.

Wang Gen faintly saw traces of the old man from Wang Chong!

Wang Gen left the Wang family very quickly, and he left with satisfaction. This nephew was always so outstanding and always so proud. Even when Wang Gen left, his footsteps were much more solid, and his head was raised even higher.

If you have a nephew like this, what can your husband ask for?

Why can't the future Wang family worry about being prosperous?

However, Wang Gen didn't know that after he left, Wang Chong quickly became quiet, and his eyes fell on the table. On the map of the Tang Dynasty left by his uncle, his eyes only stayed on the world-famous "Silk Road" After waiting for a while, Wang Chong's eyes turned, and quickly moved westward, landing in the northwest of Datang.

Western Regions!

Wang Gen didn't know that the reason why Wang Chong insisted on establishing the fiefdom in Wushang was not because of the famous Silk Road, but because of the remote Western Regions, the Annan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty!

The "Silk Road" is the world-renowned road to prosperity and gold, but it is the lifeline of the Annan Protectorate in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty! I don't know how many Tang Dynasty's crossbows and supplies pass through here every year.

Mountains and rains are about to come, but no one except Wang Chong knows that the next crisis of the empire will come from the northwest of the Tang Dynasty. Unnoticed by everyone, another empire as powerful as the Great Tang is stretching out its tentacles, probing into the Western Regions of the Great Tang.

This is a war between two great empires, East and West.

Unlike the Battle of the Southwest, only the 30,000 Anxi Protectorate Army participated in this battle, far less than the 180,000 Annan Protectorate Army in the Southwest. The number of people in the Tang Dynasty is far from reaching nearly one million.

In fact, only the barbarians in the Western Regions were really affected.

But the far-reaching impact he brought far surpassed the entire Southwest War, because this battle affected the entire Middle-earth!

"Gao Xianzhi, although you and I have different positions, I will do my best to help you in this matter! I hope you don't let me down!"

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.

Although there are only 30,000 soldiers in the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion, they are the most elite soldiers of the 30,000 Great Tang Empire. Their overall martial arts level, training level, and coordination level are all the strongest in the Great Tang Empire.

All the soldiers and horses transported to the past were the strongest among the Taoist prefectures, state counties, and frontier defenses of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, they are also equipped with a wide variety of excellent weapons. There are tens of thousands of crossbows alone, almost reaching one of each person. Moreover, there are many more in the warehouse.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, almost all the most elite weapons of the Ministry of War went there.

In addition, from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who first opened the Western Regions to the current Tang Dynasty, Zhongtu has a strong influence in the Western Regions, and Gao Xianzhi is a Fan, who knows many languages ​​​​in the Western Regions, and is good at dealing with the disputes between Fan and Han, so he is good at dancing in the Western Regions. There are only more than 30,000, but the army composed of Fanren has as many as 170,000 to 80,000, and they are extremely powerful.

Therefore, although the Anxi Protectorate's Tang soldiers were few, they were extremely powerful in fighting. In addition, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, the "Imperial Twins", became the strongest guardians of the Western Regions of the Empire.

The only thing that restricts them is the long supply line and troop line.

Once a war broke out, the Anxi Protectorate Mansion could only rely on the more than 200,000 coalition troops formed by the Han people. And the most reliable among the coalition forces is the 30,000 most powerful Tang Anxi elites.

It is almost impossible to obtain supplies or reinforcements!

This is also a congenital defect that Datang's "Empire Twin Walls" cannot make up for! At the same time, it is also the land of the Great Tang and the Far West, the biggest weakness of the rapidly rising, flourishing Dashi Empire in this competition.

And this feudal city on the Silk Road is Wang Chong's greatest effort for this future war in the Western Regions. Once there is a huge city as an economic, military, and logistics transfer station and storage place on the westbound road, if something happens in the Western Regions, the troops in the city can quickly travel westward and replenish to the Western Regions, becoming Anxi Protectorate in the war The largest logistical supply and the fastest source of troop replenishment.

This was the real reason why Wang Chong chose to build a fief on the impoverished and desolate Silk Road instead of taking the rich and prosperous Longxi Zhao land. As for choosing "Ushang" on the Silk Road instead of other places, the reason is very simple

Because there is the world of Middle-earth, the most powerful and the best source of soldiers in the Tang Empire!

Back then in Middle-earth, when the catastrophe came, the court of the Tang Dynasty made a huge misjudgment, because they mistakenly believed that the strength of these foreign invaders was actually not as powerful as the legends said.

The reason is that those foreign invaders encountered strong resistance in a place called Wushang, and for the first time after they set foot in the world of Middle Earth and Great Tang, there were many casualties.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty at that time did not pay too much attention to these legendary invaders from outside the sky, and still focused on Goguryeo, Turkic, Mengshezhao, and Uzang, these foreign countries.

It wasn't until Datang's army actually fought against these alien invaders from outside the sky, and they were defeated like chickens and dogs, that they knew what it meant to be defeated, and how powerful and terrifying these alien invaders were after venting thousands of miles.

After Wang Chong later became the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, he gathered all the remnants of Wushang, and got a total of 6,000 people, and trained them. In the future, they became the most elite, strongest, and fiercest under Wang Chong's command. At the same time, he is also the most loyal, known as the real strongest "black-scarred cavalry" in Middle-earth!

No matter on horseback or off horse, these black-scarred cavalry have extremely powerful combat effectiveness. Moreover, Wushangren's meridian is special, and it is a natural material for practicing martial arts. In this point, even the famous Tongluo people can't compare with it.

Unfortunately, when Wang Chong noticed, there were only 6,000 Wushang people left. As for Wang Chong, Wushang at its peak claimed to have 50,000 people in the village.

Even if women, the elderly and children are deducted, there are more than 30,000 able-bodied men.

It's a pity that these people all died in battle when the foreign invaders went south!

This is the deepest regret in Wang Chong's heart back then!

The 6,000 black-scarred cavalry had already supported the war in the later period of the catastrophe. If there were more than 30,000 black-scarred cavalry, everything would have been completely different.
