Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 626
Tingzhou City was originally a narrow city, and it was the fortress city where Datang managed the northern border. Except for the soldiers and family members under Beiting Governor's Mansion, Tingzhou City didn't have many people.

However, in the past six months, there have been some changes in Tingzhou City.

The location of Tingzhou is very critical, it belongs to Uighur, Ge Luolu and Tuqishi, and it is a thorn for Datang to penetrate the grassland.

But now that Tuqishi is attached, the Ge Luolu people have become loyal vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and the Uighurs have also made peace with the Tang Dynasty. After the military value of Tingzhou has dropped, its economic value has greatly increased.

Such a key trade channel has attracted many players who want to go to the grassland to do business. These players came to Tingzhou after the beginning of spring, and set up simple wooden houses and tents on the outskirts of Tingzhou City. In this way, the new city appeared outside Tingzhou City.

For Cao Lingzhong, the Chief Protector of Beiting Protectorate, the current life is what he longs for.

The Siyi guests serve, and the horses are sent to Nanshan.Cao Lingzhong is not a war maniac, and being able to bask safely in the spring sun is the greatest happiness of the people of Tingzhou, and it is also the greatest happiness of this veteran soldier who has dedicated his life to Tingzhou.

Now the young people who want to make contributions have been transferred away by the King of Yue, and the staff department has also reorganized the army of Tingzhou. Those older soldiers were assigned to the land and left Tingzhou, which had been guarding for half their lives. These old soldiers left in the spring , Cao Lingzhong was drunk for a day.

Young soldiers recruited into the Tianshan Army, but Cao Lingzhong didn't care anymore.

The training was naturally managed by the Zhechong Mansion of the General Staff Department. After the Tianshan Army was reorganized, it became an army loyal to the King of Yue. Cao Lingzhong was unwilling to intervene in these matters. His main job every day was to write books at home.

"Abstract of Cavalry" is a summary of Cao Lingzhong's experience in using cavalry in combat throughout his life. He only hopes that he can complete this book before his life comes to an end.

However, when the King of Yue came, Cao Lingzhong still wanted to lead the people from Beiting Protectorate to greet him.

After the last disaster relief, the civil affairs of Tingzhou were handed over to the magistrate appointed by the Longyou Governor's Mansion, and Cao Lingzhong almost withdrew from the political arena of Beiting.

In fact, it is not just Cao Lingzhong, but almost all Longyou officials before Li Tan entered Longyou. In front of the rising Longyou Governor's Mansion, most people choose to give up their power obediently, and the Governor's Mansion never treats these former guards badly. The heroes in the northwestern border of the empire have all given them generous treatment.

However, Li Tan still needed Cao Lingzhong's reputation for this hunting meeting. He took Cao Lingzhong into Tingzhou City together, and met the Tuqishiren and Geluoluren who came non-stop.

The Tuqishi people are said to be descendants of the ancient Yuezhi Kingdom. They have the characteristics of the Western Regions, with three-dimensional facial features and sunken eye sockets, but their hair and pupils are jet-black, and the characteristics of the Han people are quite obvious.

The Ge Luolu people have a normal Uyghur appearance. In fact, Ge Luolu was originally one of the nine surnames of the Uyghurs, but because he felt that the distribution of grassland by the Uyghur king's tent was unfair, he ran to the farther west to graze.

However, after the Geluolu people left the Uighurs, the tribal power gradually grew, and later they paid tribute to the emperor and received the reward from the emperor. The relationship between the Uighurs and the Geluolu people became more and more tense.

Later, the Uighurs conquered Ge Luolu many times, and then defeated the old Uighur Khan in Jinshan with water attacks under the intervention of the players.

From then on, the Ge Luolu people were tied to the chariots of Longyou by mines and trade.

Now almost all the nobles and tribal chiefs in Ge Luolu have participated in the mining of the mine. The Ge Luolu people were originally a half-agricultural and half-nomadic people. How have they seen the terrible productivity of the industrial age!

Those black ores were smelted and purified into golden gold.

Jinshan is just like its name. Next to the gold mine, there is also a medium-sized coal mine and a small iron ore copper mine. These mines are money printing machines!
Under the player's call for "sustainable development", the Geluolu people finally improved the treatment of the Uyghur slave miners, and also added some labor protection measures to increase the safety of the miners.

However, the mine still needs a large number of laborers, and the Ge Luolu people set their sights beyond the border.

Ge Luolu's nobles are rich, but Tuqishi, who is poor and crazy, has soldiers, and the countries in the Western Regions are out of luck.

Some small countries in the Western Regions were wiped out without knowing why, and then sold by the Tuqishi people to Ge Luolu's mines as slaves.

For this matter, both Longyou and the players kept a blind eye to it.

The slaves were not captured by Datang. Ge Luolu’s mine is now jointly operated by Datang and Ge Luolu people. The people of Datang only care about technical matters. We don’t know where your miners and slaves come from.

Now both Tuqishi people and Ge Luolu people are already an important part of the Longyou system. The ores dug out from the mines by the Ge Luolu people just make up for the shortage of precious metals in Longyou, and they earn money through trade. The money will be used to buy luxury goods and daily necessities of Datang.

Li Tan looked at the Ge Luolu princes who wore silk robes like local tyrants in the Middle East, and understood why these Ge Luolu people were so flattering.

After living a good life, no one wants to live a bad life again.

Although the mine is in Jinshan, it is okay for Geluolu people to be slave owners and overseers. Let them tinker with machinery and smelt gold from ore. That is proper alchemy, and it is not a technology they can understand at all.

And as the Geluolu people have almost all invested in mine production, except for a few ethnic groups who are still herding horses and sheep, most of the ethnic groups have given up farming.

Can extract gold from stones, who will obediently farm!
Anyway, wouldn't it be nice to buy food directly from Longyou?
The trading station in Longyou sells cheap and good things, and all he needs to do is mine ore.

This idea has germinated in almost all levels of Ge Luolu. Even if the young Ge Luolu people can't participate in the ore industry, they will devote themselves to the slave trade industry. Is it better than herding horses and farming at home?

The same is true for the Tuqishi people. The grasslands where the Tuqishi people live are very barren, and a large part of their territory is the Gobi Desert.

But now the Tuqishi people are also hardened. Now they are a black storm that makes the countries in the Western Regions fear, and countless small countries tremble in front of them.

And relying on the money from the slave trade, the Tuqishi people also became rich. Although Longyou still did not export weapons to the Tuqishi people due to the spread of technology, the Tuqishi people who had money also bought them in the Western Regions. A lot of weapons and equipment look decent.

Three days before the agreed hunting meeting, the Shrikes finally arrived at the paddock.

The Miaogas live in the Far East of Central Asia today, and there are also textual researches that say they are the ancestors of the later Cossacks.

In Li Tan's view, this statement makes sense. The Miaogas also have the appearance of the oriental yellow race, and some characteristics of the northern barbarians, but they are completely different races from the Slavs.

The Shrikes are close allies of the Geluolu people, and they are also an important part of the slave trade today. The foreign slaves with long hair and long beards in the Jinshan mines are captured by the Shrews.

This time, the Shrikes brought some things that the Tang people had never seen before, such as a huge white polar bear skin and huge reindeer antlers. Did the Shrikes hit the Arctic Ocean?

Li Mi, Cao Lingzhong and other natives of the Tang Dynasty were amazed. To Li Tan and the players, it was not a rare thing. However, this bear skin is soft and comfortable. The Shrews must have put a lot of effort into it, and Li Tan gave it as a gift in turn. Some new products from Longyou.

Finally, two days before the agreed hunt, Wang Zhang, a mighty Uighur, arrived at the hunting ground.

In order to participate in this hunt, Shang Ke Dun Li Guangqin simply brought the entire Uighur court here.

Along the way, the Uighur ministries were still arguing over the ownership of the grassland, but since entering Tingzhou, the quarrels between the ministries have become less and less.

After the Datang cavalry entered Tingzhou from the Uighur king's tent, they began to follow the guard Wang's tent. Seeing the horses and armor of the Datang cavalry, the Uighur nobles salivated.

What a fine horse this is!From war horses to armor and weapons, the money to equip one Datang knight is enough to equip ten Uighur riders.

With Datang's knights clearing the way, the Uyghur nobles began to mutter in their hearts. If Datang really took action, wouldn't the Uyghur high-ranking officials be wiped out?

Especially those small tribal chiefs who made the most noise at the Hulun Conference. Some tribes in remote areas have never fought against Datang, and they don't have any awe of Datang. There are many patriarchs at the Hulun Conference Shouting the slogan of asking Datang for pasture and food.

But after seeing the Tang cavalry, he never dared to mention those words again.

The three Ye Hus who knew the Tang Dynasty's strength best, looked at Shang Ke Dun's guard of honor with twinkling eyes. After they reached Tingzhou, they began to think, is Shang Ke Dun going to trick them to Tingzhou to catch them all?
However, more and more Tang cavalry escorted and protected the Uyghur king's tent, and the Uyghur people's fear reached its peak, and they finally came to the hunting ground in trembling.

After seeing the tents of the Tuqishi people and the old rival Ge Luolu people, these Uighur nobles breathed a sigh of relief. Datang probably wouldn't play tricks in front of so many tribes in the hunting ground.

After confirming their safety, the Uighurs looked at this hunting ground with envious eyes. On such a good grassland, Tang actually indulged in extravagant pasture growth, and just regarded it as a hunting ground for hunting.

But then, the hearts of the three major Yehu and the chiefs of the tribes were suspended. The King of Yue sent his personal guards to invite Shang Kedun to go to the tent of the King of Yue in a high-profile manner, and sent a gift to the young Uighur Khan. Lots of gifts.

This attitude of courteous treatment made these Uighur nobles not help thinking, do they have some disrespect for Shang Ke Dun?Is there something that is not doing well enough?

What if Shang Kedun spoke ill of his tribe in front of King Yue? !
