Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 71 Sincere Love
Cui Wenxiu didn't wait until he was finished with the Imperial Eleventh Army Corps and the Indian Army Corps before setting off. He and the commander of the Imperial Eleventh Army Corps, Mu Lige, left Birja first and set foot on the rules. Cui Wenxiu wanted to go home after more than a year of absence, which made Mu Lige laugh at him. Was it because the taste of Indian women did not conform to his aesthetics that Mu Lige laughed at him? I hope that returning to the mainland of the empire will be easy on the women of the Tang nationality.
From Birja, through the provinces of Dexin and Pamei, you enter North Indian County, and you can enter the Western Regions after passing through North Indian County and Solian County. However, Cui Wenxiu and Muliger chose to go from The route from Solian County to the south through North Luzon to enter the mainland of the empire, although this route is a little farther, but the road conditions in North Luzon are quite good, coupled with the superior conditions of the improved carriage, making this long-distance trek The degree of fatigue has also been greatly relieved. Although Cui Wenxiu really wanted to inspect the defense situation of the two newly-built mansions of Pamir Mansion and Kuiyang Mansion, but time did not permit, he and Mulig had to go all the way into Qingyang along the main passage running through the northern part of North Luzon County. .
During the journey, the old brothers Cui Wenxiu and Mulige haven't stayed together for such a long time. Cui Wenxiu's conversation was inspired, and he was not lonely along the way, from the situation around the Indian region to the naval development in the Baltic Sea and the Aegean Sea, from the protracted war between the Hansen League and the Augsburg Empire to the Famini The grievances between the empire and the Kingdom of Leeds. From the ebb and flow of various forces on the Tengger Prairie to the countermeasures of the Holy Spirit believers in West Indian County, the two were also very interested and discussed their views in detail.
After entering Qingyang, the two turned from Yinchuan along the Taixuan, Jiama, and Fanlin lines, crossed Yulin and arrived at Yunzhong. Then they went south along Cangzhou and entered the imperial capital. Both of them wanted to see the terrain to the north. And the defense situation, since I have made up my mind to play a game with the Liberians. It is also necessary to make some preparations in advance. And once the war with the Liberians breaks out, the northern region will surely become the main battlefield.
The two were also on the road discussing the empire's disadvantages in heavy cavalry and how to use other means to make up for it. Among them, developing armored beasts is a wonderful move, but the number of armored beasts is limited after all, and the scope of use is quite narrow , so it needs to be compensated by other auxiliary means. Rangers can also fill in some deficiencies, but in positional battles, the impact of rangers is far inferior to that of heavy cavalry. At most, they can play some substitute roles after breaking through with heavy cavalry.
Cui Wenxiu was also amazed by the rapid changes in the empire along the way, especially the large-scale use of mortar has greatly improved the road conditions in some important areas, especially the road from Weituo Mansion to Qingyang Mansion . Because this section of the road can be regarded as the throat connecting Northern Luzon to the interior of the empire, and the climate is hot and humid and rainy, it turns out that every repair of the road will not last long. It will need to be repaired after two or three years, but after using mortar. Not to mention that the smoothness of this road has been greatly improved, and its durability has also increased exponentially. It is said that its quality can be stable for more than ten years, which makes Cui Wenxiu sigh.
Qingyang has developed into the leading town in Northwest China, not only serving as the political and economic center of Northwest County. Moreover, it has gradually become the economic center and transportation hub of the Northwest region of the mainland, including East Tengger County, Xiyu County, Terok County and North Luzon County. Most of the goods in the interior of the empire are handled here, such as silk, porcelain, tea , paper, spirits, ironware, printed matter, and handicrafts were continuously exported to the west. Coffee, sugar, tobacco, cocoa, ethnic handicrafts, horses, leather, wool, cotton, and their fabrics from the west are also sold to the inland in large quantities. The core city of the Northwest Territories.
It is especially worth mentioning that the printed matter exported from Qingyang to the Tengger Grassland, the Western Regions, Northern Luzon and even the Indian region has almost doubled year after year. Qingyang’s output of printed matter exported to the west inland area tripled compared to that in 699, and in the first three months of 701 it surpassed the annual output of 699, introducing a large number of the history, culture and art of Tang civilization and the Books on the living customs of the ethnic group were exported to the western inland at relatively low prices, which also triggered a wave of admiration for Tang civilization in the western inland. The cultural and artistic taste of the Tang people has become an ascendant trend. And this trend also began to spread from the initial popularity of the middle and upper classes to the middle and lower classes.
The other thing that occupies an important position is that the classics of Taoism and Buddhism have also been introduced to these areas in large quantities, which has also greatly expanded the influence of Taoism and Buddhism in these areas, and the number of believers has at least increased compared to 700 years ago. This trend is more than three times higher, especially in Northern Luzon and Tengger Grasslands.
Cui Wenxiu and Mulige were overjoyed by the prosperity of the Northwest, but they also saw the economic disparity in northern regions such as Beiyuan and Yanyun. , whether it is in terms of city size, bustle, or infrastructure construction, it is no longer comparable to that of Northwest. In just ten years, Northwest County has officially surpassed Beiyuan and Yanyun. This has become an indisputable fact. .
The imperial capital is still prosperous. As the capital of the entire Tang Empire, thousands of people came to court. The bustling crowds and endless traffic made the gate of the imperial capital still in a relatively tense state. When Cui Wenxiu and Mu Lige arrived At the north gate of the imperial capital, they even had to wait outside the gate for half an hour before they could enter the city.
Seeing Cui Wenxiu's dark and thin cheeks and Mu Lige's dark but radiant aura, Wu Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart. The two of them went directly to the palace to meet before they even had time to change their clothes. Feng sighed again. The sunshine in Indian made both of them darker than before, and the war did not seem to leave any marks on them. It seems that the war against the Hansen League did not satisfy the two of them. The natural addiction of soldiers Zhan Rang and the two of them still had a kind of vigorous and high-spirited spirit even when they were sitting under him, Wu Feng was very satisfied.
The steaming green needle mist tea made Cui Wenxiu and Mu Lige truly realize that they had returned to the hinterland of the empire. The faint fragrance lingering in Cui Wenxiu's nasal cavity gave him a feeling of being reborn. This kind of familiar and warm feeling is better than hometown, this is the only thought in Cui Wenxiu's heart.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the three of them got to the point. Cui Wenxiu introduced the current situation in India in detail.
With the appointment of the governors of each county, although each has different governance styles and policies, it should be said that the situation in the Indian region has completely calmed down, especially in Indian County, where the situation is the most complicated. Lin's multiple methods of pulling, beating, suppressing, coaxing, and luring took turns, and he quickly sorted out the various ministries in the De'an region of China and India, which had always been considered the most difficult, and the local large-scale iron mines and smelting enterprises. The scale of the horse also made people see Pauling's ability to attract investment.
Of course Cui Wenxiu is aware of these situations. Wufeng has long been familiar with the situation. The Imperial Security Bureau and the General Intelligence Agency are not vegetarians. Cui Wenxiu has also heard about their activities in the Indian region. Cui Wenxiu also introduced in detail his thoughts and intentions in recovering West Indian in World War I and the final goal achieved. Birja has been recovered, and the West Indian region has completed the unification. West Indian The county has also changed from the original three and a half prefectures to six prefectures at once, but Dexin and Destin are still under military control for the time being. Cui Wenxiu was still troubled by how to ensure the stability and long-term stability of Destin, the northwest border of the empire.
After introducing the situation in the Indian region, Cui Wenxiu also introduced his vision in the Nammeli region. In the South Meli area ~IndoMTL.com~ that can be successfully won, realize the unification of Meli.
Wu Feng listened very carefully to Cui Wenxiu's introduction, but he was still obsessed with Cui Wenxiu, and Nan Meili was noncommittal. Instead, he asked about the recent situation of the Eleventh Army of the Mulig Empire and its performance in the West Indian De'an United War. Mulig also answered truthfully.
Cui Wenxiu and Mu Lige entered the palace excitedly, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor would definitely discuss with them the current situation facing the empire and what measures the imperial military should take, but they did not expect that His Majesty would only comfort him with warm words and encouragement After a few words, they were asked to go back to rest for two days, which made Cui Wenxiu and Mu Lige disappointed.
Stepping out of the palace gate, a majestic and majestic man in black shirt was already standing outside the palace gate with a smile on his face. Cui Wenxiu and Mu Lige, who were full of suffocation, saw their eyes lit up when they saw it.
"Hehe, Wenxiu, Lige, are you safe? Let's go, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" Holding a big folding fan in his hand, he swung it open, and the man in the black shirt came up to him with joy on his face.
Cui Wenxiu's heart was also filled with heat. No matter how different the political views are or how close the relationship is, at least this sincere affection is still hidden deep in the hearts of the two of them. Once they are dug out occasionally, it will gushes out. She replied happily: "Brother Liang's treat, how dare Wenxiu refuse to follow?"
