Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 989 Only Iron and Blood Can Bond Tubo Together

Chapter [-] Only Iron and Blood Can Bond Tibet Together

Since Songtsen Gampo was captured and Andonaji's rebellion failed, the losses caused to Tubo are immeasurable.

Although the more than [-] men and horses buried in an artificial avalanche by Chen Ying were not counted, the Tubo army captured with Songtsan Gampo was as high as more than [-] men and horses.

Naturally, Chen Ying was not a good man or a believer, and these prisoners of war became labor slaves for road construction.In addition to the men, women and children of more than 100 tribes in the anti-Songtsen Gampo Alliance, except for children under the age of 12 who really had no way to contribute, Chen Ying mobilized almost a million Tibetans to start building Chidao.

Although it is called Chidao, Chen Ying built it according to the railway standards of later generations.The land-based railways are all double-track railways. There is no way. In the era without computers, if you want to arrange train transportation reasonably, it will undoubtedly cause waste of railway resources. Only by adopting a two-way and double-track method can the transportation capacity be effectively improved.

It is very difficult to build a railway in the snowy plain. At least Chen Ying did not find a lot of easy-to-mine resources such as steel and coal in the snowy plain. In fact, the snowy plain was his blind spot in later generations. travel.For this reason, Chen Ying first traveled from Ye County, passed through Nie Rong, passed through Nagqu, and then arrived at Lhasa on the western route.

At the same time, Tanggula Mountain enters Hehuang via Dangqu, Zaduo, Jiebatang, Dutongtian River, Qingshui River (Yushu), Bayankala Mountain and Maduo.

Although he had the gold finger of black powder in his hand, Chen Ying still did not use it to open mountains and pave roads. Instead, he used primitive methods, using stones to heat up, and then pouring cold water on it. break open.

Of course, you don't have to use a chisel to chisel down bit by bit.

One-time mobilization of millions of workers, management is also a very huge problem.However, Chen Ying divided the Tubo labor slaves into four classes, the pro-Tang Subi tribe was the first class, the Lhasa voluntary surrender group was the second class, the prisoners of war who behaved well were the third class, and the diehards were the fourth class.

The first and second ranks are all supervisors, while the third rank can be a team leader or even a squadron leader.Chen Ying regarded slave laborers as a group of ten, five groups as a small team, a small team leader, two small teams as a squadron, and five squadrons as a large team.

The food level of each class is completely different. For example, the fourth-class labor slaves, the heaviest workers, eat the worst meals, and barely eat seventy percent full.Of course, when you become a squad leader, you can not only eat enough, but also have meat to eat every ten days.As for the supervisor level of the brigade, you can compare the meals of the soldiers of the Tang Army, just like the buffet of later generations, there is no limit to how much you want to eat, at least two meat and one vegetable for each meal.

Chen Ying took Guo Luo and Ma Zhou to Shule. At this time, Zhou Qing was in charge of the Tiger Congregation in Shule City. Empire people.

Chen Ying vaguely remembered Jackie Chan's trash movie "Heavenly Army", which contained a plot saying that the Romans had outstanding achievements in mathematics and construction.

At this time, Zhou Qing was in charge of using the foreign mercenaries of the Tigers to collect Greek craftsmen, literature, classics, philosophy, science, law, technology, mythology, etc. of the Byzantine Empire.

Originally, this fierce tiger came from the Shule Information Center, but because of the need to translate, sort out, and print millions of classics, it gradually formed a research institute.

This Shule College is different from Datang University of Technology. This college is for research purposes, rather than teaching and educating people like Datang University of Technology.

With Zhou Qing's search regardless of cost, the number of people in Shule College gradually increased, from the initial 100 people to the current [-] people.Among them, there are many famous teachers and masters who are proficient in mechanics.Chen Ying recruited more than [-] outstanding craftsmen from within the Tang Dynasty, and under the inspiration of Chen Ying's teapot theory, he developed a steam engine.

At this time, the research and development of steam engines already had a preliminary foundation, mainly because Datang’s steel technology had made a qualitative breakthrough. After the emergence of high manganese steel, high carbon steel, silicon steel, spring steel, bearing steel, etc., Datang University of Technology More than [-] kinds of alloy steel have been developed successively.

The foundation of industry is actually not machinery, nor is it a theoretical industry, but materials.In Qi Cheng's "Material Empire", the explanation is very clear.Without materials, any progress is a castle in the air.

For example, the most inconspicuous ballpoint pen in later generations is probably unknown to many people.China has more than 3000 pen-making companies, more than 400 employees, and an annual output of more than [-] billion ballpoint pens... China has become a well-deserved pen-making power, but behind a series of proud figures is a high degree of dependence on core technology and materials. The embarrassing situation of the proliferation of imported and inferior counterfeit products, a large number of "balls" with ballpoint pen tips still need to be imported.It was not until the year before last that China achieved industrialized production of "bead balls". Whether it can replace imports still needs to be tested by the market.

Chen Ying naturally knew the principle of muskets, and even asked him to instruct craftsmen to make a flintlock. The key is that the materials are not good enough. I'm afraid it's still unclear whether this kind of musket will hurt the enemy or himself.

However, Chen Ying has now made good achievements in materials. It can also be said that since Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world, fanned his little wings, except just before the second year of Wude, Chen Ying was forced by the pressure of survival and did not focus on this aspect. Research.

However, with the increase of Chen Ying's status and wealth, Chen Ying has invested heavily in materials, not only because of steel, but also in other materials. For example, when refining crude oil, lubricating oil has successfully appeared, although the quality is not as good as In later generations, the lubricating oil produced by Chen Ying has already monopolized the axles of the entire Datang.

Especially for bearings and shock absorbers, except for very few remote areas, Datang hardly sees the original bushing wheels.

This time Chen Ying went to Shule because of the news from Zhou Qing that Byzantine Flavi Zeno, the chief engineer of the steam engine project research and development, had made a breakthrough, which made Chen Ying eager to go to Shule.

Just as Chen Ying left Lhasa, he rode a fast horse into the Yalong Valley, which is the birthplace of the Tubo people.There is also the secret altar of the Bon religion, as well as the last remnants of the Tubo Dynasty.

Not to mention the completion of the great cause of unifying the snowy plains, whether Tubo can survive is a very serious problem.As the only fugitive minister of the Tubo Dynasty, Tunmi Aru was a little bit downhearted.

Upon receiving the news that Chen Ying had left Lhasa, Tunmi Aru looked at Yu Wenhuaji cautiously and said, "National Teacher, what shall we do now?"

Yu Wenhuaji still said in a neutral tone, "For the current plan, there are only two options to choose from."

Tumiyaru hurriedly asked, "What choice?"

Yu Wenhuaji pondered and said: "One of them is to send envoys to ask Li Tang for peace, to rest for the time being, and to repay later."

Tumiyaru shook his head and said, "It's impossible!"

Andonaji used his death, more than [-] human lives, to prove one thing to Tunmi Aru, and Chen Ying was simply credible.In fact, regardless of Yu Wenhua and sending people to seduce Andonaji in rebellion, the most fundamental reason is Chen Ying's dishonesty. He intentionally or unintentionally forced him to rebel against Andonaji. , but also hurt more.

Yu Wenhuaji smiled lightly, showing a nightmare smile and said: "As for the second thing, it is nothing more than going west again, and now King Jieri is attacking the Deccan, anyway, the tribes here were killed by Chen Ying It’s almost the same, if we stay here, we can only annex some small tribes, which doesn’t make much sense. It’s better to go west. In fact, among the two methods, seeking peace first is the most appropriate.”

Tumi Alu sighed and said: "Forget it, taking advantage of Chen Ying's absence in the Xueyuan, there are only more than one million tribesmen left in our Tubo tribes, it is much better than running to the east to provoke Tang Dynasty .We will not be able to defeat the Tang people without first integrating the various tribes of Tubo.”

But thinking of integrating the various ministries of Tubo, Thumialu felt a headache. There are more than 100 tribes in Tubo, and more than 100 hearts. The methods used against the Tibetan compatriots are simply outrageous.

After moving a little slower, the whips in their hands were whipped up. These whips not only had barbs, but also had been soaked in salt water. Once the whip was lowered, the sourness...forget about it.Now when Chi Dao is being built, hundreds of people will be killed or injured every day, and almost [-]% of them are the black hands of these Tubo supervisors.

Of course, the Tibetans were fighting each other, and the Tang people were also happy to watch the jokes.

As for the other group of people, they don't surrender, they don't arrive, they can't afford to be provoked, and they can hide. There are not many other things in the snow field, but there are many mountains and valleys. Just find a cat, so tired that the Tang people can't find it. arrive.

However, it is not that there are no tribes that are unwilling to surrender to the Tang people, but they are very few, or even less than one-tenth.

Thinking of this, Tunmi Alu said angrily: "It's not easy to integrate Tubo!"

Yu Wenhuaji said with a faint smile: "We in the Central Plains...in fact, we have experienced disputes. At that time, King Ping of Zhou moved to the east, and the Zhou family began to decline. They only kept the name of the world's co-lord, but had no actual control ability. Differently, a situation of competition for supremacy among the great powers emerged. From the 71 vassal states at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty to the later Spring and Autumn Period, there were as many as 800 vassal states. After more than 400 years of melee, the Wei, Zhao, Han, Chu, Qi, Qin , Yan Qiguo, until the appearance of Qin Shihuang, he will unify the world!"

Tumiyaru had vaguely heard this story. Of course, the Central Plains was too far away, so his understanding was always limited.He hurriedly asked: "How did Qin Shihuang unify the Central Plains?"

Yu Wenhuaji said lightly: "It's very simple, one force will reduce ten meetings!"

The most fundamental reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to unify the six countries was that the Qin country was too strong, so strong that the six countries in Shandong were afraid of Qin Ruhu, and they were afraid of Qin Ruhu before fighting.In later generations, it is generally believed that Qin Nu, Qin Jia, and Qin-made weapons are more advanced than the six countries of Shandong. In fact, this is wrong. South Korea is feared by all countries with its famous weapon crossbow.The so-called "the most powerful bows and crossbows in the world are all made from Korea", and Korean crossbows can shoot 800 paces (about [-] meters away).

In addition, South Korea's swords are also extremely sharp. They all "cut cattle and horses by land, and wild geese by water", and "cut the iron curtain when the enemy is strong".

South Korea's national power was strongest when Han Zhaohou was in power.He used the doctrine of the Falun Gong school as his prime minister, improved internal affairs, and made South Korea a well-off society.Because it is located in the Central Plains, the land of the Four Wars, and is surrounded by Wei, Qi, Chu, and Qin, there is no room for development at all, and the land is also the smallest among the seven countries.It was the first one to be destroyed, and died without fighting.

It took Yu Wenhuaji more than an hour to explain to Tunmi Alu that Qin Qiang's morale was strong because of the establishment of the military merit system.The unification of the Qin Dynasty was in line with the people's yearning for a stable life and the wishes of the emerging feudal landlord class...

Tunmi Alu said slowly: "It seems that only iron and blood can make Tubo stick together."
