Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 553 Military Parade
Li Tan didn't expect Cui Tao to resign?

You must know how many people dream of being the prefect of Zhangye.

Zhangye is the most prosperous city in Longyou, comparable to the prosperous Gaochang City.

Now the development momentum of Hexi is catching up with the Longwai area, and it can be seen that the development momentum of Zhangye is greater than that of Longwai.

Gold in Zhangye and silver in Wuwei, Zhangye's development conditions are really good!

Shandan Racecourse has gradually become the animal husbandry center of the entire Hexi region, and the Pingyuan area near Zhangye, which has abundant rainfall, is also the granary of Hexi.

Compared with Jiuquan City, which is adjacent to the Gobi Desert, and Wuwei City, which is adjacent to the mountain pass, Zhangye can be said to be a city with unique development advantages.

In such a city, Cui Tao actually wants to resign?
Li Tan listened quietly to Cui Tao's speech.

Cui Tao said firmly: "His Royal Highness, the foundation for Zhangye's development has been laid now, and any person who can be the magistrate of the state can be as good as the minister."

Li Tan nodded. If it was the internal affairs ability of the prefectures of the three prefectures in Hexi, Cui Tao would naturally be No.1.

Xue Hu focuses on the military, while Zeng Mu only focuses on people's livelihood, so that the development potential of these two cities is far inferior to that of Zhangye.

Cui Tao's reform in Zhangye changed the bad governance of the Qun Mu Si and liquidated the land of powerful landlords, leaving enough room for commercial development.

At the same time, Cui Tao's emphasis on trade routes, coupled with a large number of Baigong players building workshops in Zhangye, made the entire Zhangye the industrial center of Hexi.

Just like what Cui Tao said, no player can do worse than him if he is replaced.

Cui Tao crossed his hands and said: "Your Highness, the talent of the minister is to develop, not to preserve. Please transfer the minister to the place where it is needed."

Cui Tao also felt the crisis, so he applied to Li Tan to leave Zhangye.

The players who thrived during this period were almost all players who were active in the Chang'an area, or players who implemented the big detour strategy in Pinglu.

The reason is naturally very simple. Although the newly controlled area is risky, it has many tasks and it is easy to achieve results quickly.

Although Cui Tao's level is already very high, he is also the top player in the eyes of players.

But Cui Tao understands that if he can't make any big moves, he will further lose his influence among the players, and eventually he will fall from a top player to an ordinary high-level player.

Obviously, Cui Tao, who once helped Li Tan to take down Longyou, was unwilling to retire in the position of Zhangye Zhizhou.

For players, clocking in to work day after day is tedious, and only by accepting new challenges every day can they find fun.

Li Tan nodded and said: "I understand, but there are no suitable positions vacant yet, you should prepare for the handover in Zhangye."

Cui Tao was overjoyed and immediately thanked Li Tan.

After this little episode, Li Tan continued to take the rail carriage and headed for Wuwei City, the destination of the trip.

Outside Wuwei City, Xu Jun and Xue Hu, as well as the middle and high-level officials in Wuwei City were all standing at Wuwei Station waiting for King Yue's rail car.

"His Royal Highness is down!"

As the station master in charge yelled, everyone stood up straight and heard the neighing of the horse. The driver slowly pulled the brakes of the rail car, and slowly controlled the horse to slow down, and finally came to a steady stop. in the station.

Li Tan brought Li Mi down from the carriage, and many players rushed up one after another.

Everyone knew that King Yue didn't like ostentation. After a simple welcome ceremony, they boarded the carriage to Xinzhuang Daying.

Sitting in the carriage together, Xu Jun told Li Tan about the situation of this military exercise, and then said:
"According to the plan of the General Staff Department, a military parade will be held at the Xinzhuang camp first, followed by an arms display. In this way, Du Hongjian will be deterred and let him return to the Governor's Mansion."

Li Tan nodded, for Du Hongjian, the general beside his father, he still had some memories before time travel in his mind.

When the emperor left for Lingzhou, the greatest contribution was made by Du Hongjian.

But from Li Tan's point of view, Du Hongjian didn't have much loyalty to his royal father.

For this point, Li Bi has more say.

"As long as Du Gong sees Longyou's strength, he will definitely make a wise choice."

At this time, outside the Xinzhuang camp, Du Hongjian was standing at the gate of the camp in armor.

Unlike the subordinates of the King of Yue, it was Du Hongjian's last stubbornness as a Jiedu envoy to welcome the King of Yue in Wuwei City.

This military exercise can be said to have been completely lost. The combat effectiveness of the Hexi Army is far greater than the Shuofang elite brought by him.

And through the probing of the past few days, Du Hongjian also knew that the Hexi army was a new army that had just been rehearsed, and that King Yue still had many such troops.

Du Hongjian was even more certain that King Yue's plans were huge, and he would definitely not shrink back in Longyou with peace of mind in the future.

But Du Hongjian wanted to seek refuge with King Yue, but he still had some scruples in his heart.

Longyou and other northwestern regions had always been one of the empire's confidantes before the Tang Dynasty.

An important reason for the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the long-term rebellion of the Northwest Qiang and Hu people.

After the Central Plains entered the troubled times, Liangzhou and other areas were also rich in various separatist forces.

When Datang started its business, Xue Rengao, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty who ruled in the northwest, also put a lot of military pressure on Datang.

Therefore, on the road from Longyou to Chang'an, there are still many military fortresses. The king of Yue wants to seize the throne, but it is too far away from Chang'an!
The rebellion of the vassal kings of the past dynasties will be difficult to succeed if they cannot quickly capture the center of the empire and grasp the legitimacy of the court.

Although Du Hongjian was optimistic about King Yue, this flaw still made him dare not place a bet.

While Du Hongjian was thinking, King Yue's carriage arrived at the barracks.

I only heard the Hexi Army began to sing the military song, the lyrics of "King Yue's Words in Mind" were brainwashed and the melody was on the top. As the Hexi Army sang, the soldiers in the Shuofang Army also sang.

Du Hongjian found that the guards around him were looking at King Yue's carriage expectantly.

Now Du Hongjian finally understood why Longyou had to kindly provide the rations along the way, and why he had to work so hard to build these camps.

It turned out that the other party sent the food for the hearts of his subordinates!
Thinking of this, Du Hongjian was once again terrified by the scheming of the Longyou people. I am afraid that the military exercise this time is also to convince himself!
Really good calculation!

Du Hongjian felt a bit of rebellion, and he was naturally dissatisfied with how this dignified military governor was being plotted against.

However, form is better than people. Now in someone else's territory, Du Hongjian could only adjust his mood and walk over to salute King Yue.

Before Du Hongjian could bend down, Li Tan quickly stepped up to help Du Hongjian and said:

"Du Gong is the humerus of the imperial court, and he is also an important minister of the father. This kind of courtesy is unbearable."

Seeing Li Tan's low profile, Du Hongjian felt much better, but he raised his head and saw Li Mi standing behind Li Tan, and exclaimed, "Mr. Bi?"

When Lingwu came to the throne, Li Mi and Du Hongjian were the most trusted people around the emperor.

Du Hongjian also knew about Li Mi's talent. After Li Mi was gradually marginalized by the emperor, Du Hongjian sighed to the people around him, "If Your Majesty would listen to Mi Gong's strategy, the false Yan would have been pacified long ago."

Li Mi gradually faded out of Chang'an's political arena, but unexpectedly came to Longyou to seek refuge with the King of Yue?

Du Hongjian looked at Li Tan's young face again. What is the charm of this vassal king in a remote area that can attract so many heroes?
The road was full of dust and dust, and when Xu Jun suggested that the king of Yue should rest before holding a military parade, Li Tan said:
"The soldiers have worked much harder than the lonely king. The auspicious time is almost here, so let's inspect the troops first."

After speaking, Li Tan took Du Hongjian's hand, and together they went up to the parade platform temporarily built by the Xinzhuang camp.

Xue Hu was riding a horse and had already gone to prepare for the parade formation. Li Mi and Xu Jun also followed Li Tan to the parade stand.

Isn't a military parade an oath?Du Hongjian didn't understand why Longyou wanted us to hold a military parade. Could it be possible to look at the troops walking and let him return to his heart?

Just when Du Hongjian was puzzled, Xu Jun handed over a delicate leather bag.

"Marshal Du, this is your telescope."

Du Hongjian had long been envious of the telescope. After taking the telescope, Du Hongjian couldn't help taking it out to look at it. The brass lens barrel was shiny and the flawless glass lens was shining.

The number was also engraved on the lens barrel. Du Hongjian played with the telescope and asked: "Isn't this only issued by the generals of the Longyou Army?"

Xu Jun said with a smile: "Marshal Du, we will be a family in the future, and this telescope is specially distributed to you."

"However, this item is related to Longyou's confidential technology. If it is lost, it may be troublesome. Please take good care of it with Marshal Du."

Du Hongjian only felt that the family's statement was harsh, but he was reluctant to part with the telescope.

On the cliff that day, if there were binoculars to observe the battlefield, maybe the result would be different?

At least he won't be attacked by Wang Dahai's special warfare battalion, and he will be captured, right?

When Du Hongjian was playing with the telescope, there was a loud noise, so that Du Hongjian almost dropped the telescope on the ground.

But everyone on the platform looked the same, and Du Hongjian could only suppress the astonishment in his heart.

It was just the command gun for the military parade, and at this time the military band under the viewing platform began to play the melody of "King Yue's Words in My Heart".

Accompanied by the melody of the music, the sound of neat footsteps sounded, and the soldiers who walked at the same pace walked towards the parade in unison.

Du Hongjian marveled at the orderliness of the Hexi soldiers, and suddenly Xue Hu, who was riding a horse, shouted: "Go straight!"

Only the sound of drums was heard, and the soldiers walked forward in unison.

The goose step kicks as accurately as a drum beat, causing the ground to vibrate, and this kind of goose step square full of strength and discipline made Du Hongjian feel oppressed!

If you encounter such an army on the battlefield, you will probably tremble with fear, right?
Du Hongjian questioned again in his heart, what kind of monster soldier did this Longyou train?
