Chapter 3801 Turn Around, Turn Back
In fact, what Sun Gan wants to say is, repair a hammer, if I, Sun Gan, can build the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, I will still be stuck in Xichuan for so long? What a joke.
However, as the leader in charge of road transportation, Sun Gan cannot say that he cannot repair it. He can only say that he is repairing it and it is already under planning. As for when it will be repaired, it depends on the planning and arrangement. Anyway, at present The technology is not up to standard, and the permafrost problem cannot be solved.
"Oh, let's line up first, how many months will the Xiliang iron cavalry arrive?" Chen Xi naturally arranged for Sun Gan, and I believed you when you said you were ready. Without giving Sun Qian a chance to explain, he turned his head and asked Li You.
"I reckon it's July at the latest, and they should return to Congling. They have been floating outside for a year, and they should come back." Li You thought for a while, based on his understanding of Li Jue and the others, It was time for the three of them to go back to their kennels, too.
The average altitude on the side of Congling is also more than 4,000 meters. The main forces of Sansha and Xiliang cavalry are basically stationed in an area around 5,000 meters away. Just like normal cavalry fighting in another area, the problem is not big.
Besides, the Xiliang iron cavalry has a combat power of 8,000 and has gone up to the headquarters. Not to mention that the Shangxiong Dynasty is the union of tribal chiefs. it's here!
"Give them some start-up fees, let them go to the side of the Qinghai-Tibet armed parade, let Shule and Khotan, and the elite survivors stop making trouble, since they have gone up, just listen to the command of the Han Dynasty, build villages, and maintain the Han Dynasty Frontier rule, we can feed them and clothe them well." Chen Xi is interested in living people who can go to Qinghai-Tibet, and it is really not easy to go to that place.
In addition, Chen Xi was thinking about Shule, Khotan and other people in the Western Regions who might not be able to boycott Sima Lang, and his prestige and prestige can be described as far-reaching. Ordinary people only need to believe in Chen Xi's promise once, and then they will accept Chen Xi's promise. There is little resistance.
Even if some individuals in Shule and Khotan awakened the so-called nationalism and patriotism, most ordinary people really didn't have the motivation to resist Chen Xi.
Beigui's spies are so good, they can't resist Zhuge Liang's policies for too long.
Therefore, Chen Xi reckoned that those survivors in Shule and Khotan would rebel against Sima Lang, which did not mean they would rebel against him, Chen Xi. After all, there is a saying that capitalism rejects socialism, but capitalism does not reject socialist money.
What's more, this is also an opportunity. Qinghai and Tibet are all Qiang people. It was the best choice made when there was no choice. Now that he can make a breakthrough in the best choice, Chen Xi is of course willing to make a breakthrough. Hui Er Why not do things that cost nothing.
As for the possible problems of Shule and Khotan, Chen Xi didn't care too much. Do they need to eat? Do they need money? Do they need to live better? need! Since you need it, why worry about it, this is his potential supporter, Chen Xi.
Didn't look at Chen Xi earlier, in order to get quick results, he forced a lot of coercive policies. At that time, there were too many people fighting against each other, but isn't it all good after that?
The people are realistic, and the momentary anger will end up in the rice bowl no matter what. Shule people and Khotan people are not successful in cultivation, and they can live without eating. But since they need to eat, Chen Xi has plenty of ways These people settle.
The Han Dynasty has absorbed so many subordinate people, and there has not been any turmoil until now. To put it bluntly, isn’t it because the people everywhere are very realistic?
Even hundreds of thousands of Hu people, after realizing that the scientific breeding industry can completely end their living by water and grass, reduce their own burden, and make their lives better, naturally gave up the traditional nomadic methods and turned to desperately close to the Han people. Room, Shule and Khotan, I can't get it right? Do you look down on me, Chen Xi?
No one present was a fool, even Sima Lang, he was a figure in the official history who became a feudal official at the age of 30. Naturally, he understood Chen Xi's thoughts the moment Chen Xi opened his mouth-this is really the first step to say that he is a Han. The Qiang family is of the same clan, and when the opportunity arises, they are ready to take precautions.
But everyone present also realized that this was indeed a good idea.
"In this case, the plan needs to be changed." Guo Jia put together the official documents in his hands, and said with a tone of eagerness.
"Just arrange for the Xiliang iron cavalry to garrison the Xiangxiong Dynasty." Li You's attitude has always been simple and rude. As a world-class overlord, you are so close. I don't station an elite army in your capital. This does not represent me. Look down on you guys?
What, you said you need the protection of your family's Janissaries? Do you look down on our world-class overlord and think that we cannot provide you with protection?
It’s not that we were bragging in the Han Dynasty. You see, since we stationed troops in the Western Regions, the civil strife in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions has decreased. The garrison here is also for your safety. If we don’t have troops, your family will be wiped out. Wouldn't that be a big problem?
What, you don't believe that your country will be wiped out once our troops stationed in the Western Regions leave? Let me go, Shule thought the same way more than a hundred years ago, but in the end Shule was helped by us big men to restore the country.
What was the expression of Shule and King Yutian when Ban Chao was going back to Chang'an after knowing it? It's really the expression of a dead father - "Yihan envoys are like parents, you can't go with sincerity." Hugging each other's feet is impossible, I reckon that after we are stationed in the army, if we want to leave, you have the same expression.
"Ah, this is too rough, we are civilized people." Lu Su said with a sigh.
"Oh, how about Shule Khotan, or the Qiang people fighting with the Zhangxiong Dynasty, and we go to balance it?" Liu Ye suggested with a serious look.
"May I ask what type of leveling it is?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Ye and asked. There are many kinds of leveling in the Han Dynasty. The common ones are called fifty big boards each, and the extraordinary ones are also called fifty big ones each. Board, the former is to eliminate war, the latter is to eliminate the country.
"Of course it's the leveling version of Emperor Wu." Liu Ye said as a matter of course.
The so-called leveling of Emperor Wu's version comes from Minyue and Nanyue. The two countries are fighting each other. Both countries are considered vassals of the Han Dynasty. After a while, the two countries are gone.
"Okay." Chen Xi pondered for a moment, and basically confirmed the tone of this group of people, so he didn't say anything more. He didn't have a deep feeling for the Shangshung Dynasty, but Qinghai-Tibet would definitely be brought under the central government. As it should be.
"In this way, we will return to the original question, who will go up." Chen Xi looked at Li You and said.
The Xiliang iron cavalry can go up, but the problem is that Chen Xi can't station the Xiliang iron cavalry on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. If stationed there, Chen Xi might die!
In the absence of roads, the cost of transporting grain up is higher than that of transporting grain and grass, and it is several times higher.
That's why Ju Tang's fighting power surpassed more than a dozen Tubo at its peak, but there is still no good way to take Tubo. First of all, it is difficult for people to go up. Go up, so there is no way to persevere through Tubo.
There is no doubt that Chen Xi's words are equivalent to a confrontation with Sun Gan. Sun Gan really doesn't want to build this road, but if he must go to Tibet, and if necessary, he must be able to send an elite team to carry out military operations in the Qinghai-Tibet area. If it is suppressed, then this road must be repaired.
"Let's postpone the road first." Li You said a fair word. Some things are really not because Sun Qian doesn't want to do it, but Sun Qian also needs to consider other aspects. Consumption, if there are 8,000 people, should they still be transported?"
"Actually, the biggest problem is that we can't accumulate much output there." Chen Xi said with a sigh. The later generations of the Tang Dynasty couldn't kill Tubo. in this way.
If on flat ground, a dynasty with a population of only 400,000 would dare to fight against an aristocratic family with more courage and wilder ways, why would it require the Han Dynasty to work together to think about how to deal with this dynasty like it is now.
"What do Fa Qiang and Qing Qiang eat up there? Don't they all gather their own villages and build villages? It's impossible to continue nomadic." Lu Su packed up his things and began to pay attention to the snow area.
"The cattle and sheep subsidies of the Han Dynasty, as well as the cultivation of highland barley, are no problem to survive. Of course, the most important thing is to raise geese on the plateau." Chen Xi looked at Lu Su and said, "By the way, you don't know that we have raised geese near Qinghai-Tibet. A million geese?"
"No one has ever said that." Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"Basically, geese don't suffer from altitude sickness, especially gray geese." Chen Xi suddenly said something that Lu Su didn't understand.
This is not a joke, but the fact that the gray geese in China are all variants of wild geese, and the two can interbreed, so the gray geese do not have altitude sickness at all, and the geese will not have any altitude sickness at all. Change, wild geese can fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters.
So when Qing Qiang and Fa Qiang were sent to Qinghai-Tibet, Chen Xi not only gave Qing Qiang and Fa Qiang some seeds grown on the plateau, but also some cattle and sheep subsidies, and more geese, because they were really easy to raise. , and now it seems to be indeed a success.
It's just that Qinghai-Tibet's output is too low. Under the premise of limited arable area and limited pasture and feed, the scale of raising geese cannot be large, and naturally it cannot be rich.
Although the current life for Qing Qiang and Fa Qiang is not bad, they don’t need to run around or work hard, and they can live in peace and stability for a year, so they take the initiative to get close to the Han Dynasty, but for Chen Xi, this output is fundamental. Not enough troops.
