Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

Cheng Yaojins laughter surprised Li Er and the others.

“wow hahaha, Your Majesty, princes, what are you bothering about here? Ziyou, a youngster who knows Tibet well, is it afraid that he hasnt solved the plateau reaction? Ziyou , Don’t want to sell it, come here quickly!”

The words of Cheng Yaojin made Li Er and the others slightly shocked, and then they nodded in agreement.

Since Li Wangyou’s Master is the Dao ancestor, there is nothing to worry about.

Seeing that everyone looked towards him, Li Wangyou sneered and touched his nose: “Uncle, Lords, actually the plateau reaction is not at all what kind of special medicine. If the army wants to march on the plateau, there is only one The way is to adapt.”

Although Rhodiola and the like can effectively prevent plateau reactions, for the army of hundreds of thousands, it is obviously impossible to have that many medicine supplies.

In this way, only establishing a training base on the plateau and allowing the Tang Army to gradually adapt to the plateau reaction is the only solution.

Li Er asked: “Ziyou, tell me in detail, how to adapt?”

“Uncle, the plateau has low oxygen content in the air due to the terrain, even if the Master His-Senior is also unchangeable. Therefore, if the army wants to enter the plateau to fight, it can only gradually adapt to the plateau climate. Generally speaking, the army can gradually adapt to the plateau reaction after an adaptation period of about three months on the plateau. Although you still suffer from shortness of breath and heart palpitations during strenuous exercise, at least compared with Tibetans, the difference is not too big.”

Li Er frowned again: “Ziyou, you know how to do it. But where can I go, Great Tang, to find a plateau for the soldiers to adapt?”

Li Wangyou smiled and pointed to the map: “Uncle, Tuyuhun is the best place to train. Tuyuhun is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. On the edge, many areas already belong to the plateau. As long as Uncle sends a large army to take Tuyuhun and incorporate it into the territory, you can train troops here. In the future, it will be easy to break into the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from Tuyuhun!”

In history After Tuyuhun was defeated by Great Tang, Tibet took advantage of it, and Tibet swallowed Tuyuhun.

Li Wangyou knows history well, so naturally he will not make such mistakes.

Li Er, Fang Xuanling and other big guys immediately leaned forward to the map and carefully figured out the topography of Tuyuhun. They were already wondering how to annex this land.

Li Wangyou continued: “Uncle, Zhu Gong, there are still two difficulties in attacking the plateau. One is the temperature, and the other is the difficulty of supplying the army.”

“Ziyou, you will tell me in detail.”

“Uncle, the public, I don’t know if you have heard a sentence, lonely at the top?”

Li Er and the others are facing each other Glancing at it, shaking his head blankly.

Li Wangyou’s question is naturally nonsense, which is from Su Dongpo’s “Shui Tiao Song Tou”. This term, Li Wangyou has not had time to plagiarize, and Li Er and others have certainly never heard of it.

“Uncle, princes, do you have a high view? Do you think the top of the mountain is colder?”

“Yes, it is true.” Everyone still doesn’t understand what Li Wangyou wants to say .

“In fact, the higher the terrain, the more cold it will be. The Master said that the terrain is 1000 meters high, uh, it will be a lot colder.”

Li Wangyou said here , I don’t know how to explain it.

Every time the altitude increases by 1,000 meters, the temperature drops by six degrees. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is between 3,000 and 5,000 meters above sea level, and the temperature is ten to twenty degrees lower than Ch_ng’n.

However, since ancient times, China has no concept of temperature. It only uses cold, cold, cool, warm, hot, and hot to express the temperature difference range.

He deliberately introduced the temperature to everyone, but he didn’t have a thermometer, and it was too much effort to explain the temperature in an empty mouth.

To manufacture a thermometer, it must have glass…

After thinking about it for a while, Li Wangyou didnt figure out how to express the temperature, so he scratched his head and continued: “This Lets just say, if its Ch_ng’n in midsummer, its just like early spring on the plateau. If its winter, the plateau is extremely cold, exactly similar to winter in Liaodong.”

“Oh Is there such a thing? If so, it would be troublesome.” Li Er and the others hearing this, frowned again.

These big men have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they naturally know how troublesome it is to fight in the winter army.

Especially in the early Tang Dynasty, the means to keep out the cold was relatively scarce.

“Uncle, princes, it is not difficult to prevent the army from the cold, but it is not difficult to fill the clothes with cotton, and the manufacture jacket is enough.”

Li Er and the others hearing this, again Dumbfounded.

Gao Shilian couldn’t help shaking his head: “Ziyou, are you confused? The jacket is so expensive, how can the army afford it?”

Li Er and the others are also nodded, thinking Li Wangyou’s words are really not in charge, I don’t know how much firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

The reaction of everyone is naturally expected by Li Wangyou.

In history, although cotton has already appeared, China did not really popularize cotton cultivation until the Ming Dynasty.

Even until the late Tang Dynasty, cotton was still the exotic flowers and rare herbs in the gardens of many wealthy people in the north.

In the early Tang Dynasty, cotton was naturally there, and it was even used as a tribute to the court.

But because of its scarcity and difficulty in spinning, cotton and cotton cloth are quite expensive. Just like when Su Changqing first met Empress Zhangsun at a clothing store, and recommended cotton clothes to him, the price would not be affordable for an ordinary person.

If Tang Chu wore a cotton-padded jacket, it would be more windy than wearing a mink and velvet.

That’s why Li Er and the others felt that Li Wangyou’s words were really unreliable.

Li Wangyou haha smiled, walked to the map again, and pointed to the direction of the Western Regions and said: “Uncle, Lord, I, Great Tang, does not produce cotton, but the Western Regions are very suitable for cotton cultivation. As long as Gaochang, Kuche and other countries can vigorously promote cotton cultivation. After a few years, cotton is no longer a rare thing and can be used to supply the needs of the army.”

“As long as I Tang Army Equipped with enough cotton clothes, whether Uncle wants to attack Liaodong or Tibet, the severe winter is not a difficult problem. Therefore, my nephew dare to speak boldly before, and it can solve the problem of the armys winter protection from the cold.”

Li Wangyou gets more excited as he speaks, and he feels like playing strategy games in later generations.

“Uncle, princes, and nephews set a strategy for Great Tang to take the Western Regions first! After capturing the Western Regions, they spent several years operating the Western Regions and planting a large amount of cotton. Then they captured Tuyuhun, Training troops here to prepare for the attack on Tuyuhun. As for Goguryeo, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as Uncle is willing, and when the coat can equip the army in large quantities, he can attack Liaodong at any time and avenge my Chinese discipline!”

“In addition, Uncle can send out secret agents to start infiltrating Goguryeo, Tibet and other places. Learn more about the climate, geography environment, city and other conditions in Tibet and other places, so as to clear the way for future army crusades!”

“As for the army For the supply issue, my nephew had to teach from the Master, and learned some methods of manufacturing military rations that can be eaten by the army. These rations can be stored for a long time, and they are delicious, so they are most suitable for alleviating hunger…”

Li Wangyou said excitedly, crackle pours out beans, pouring out everything he knows and thinks in his heart.

This long talk fell in the ears of Li Er and the others, but it was deafening, like thunders blasting in the ears one after another, shaking everyone dizzy.

For a long time, Li Ercai suddenly laughed.

“Okay! Okay! Ziyou really has the ability to govern the country and the world! This strategy fits my mind! I have Ziyou to help, it is a great blessing! Xuan Ling, the decree, the edict is Hu County Li Wangyou is Prince of Fufeng……”
