Chapter 3801: Going back and forth
In fact, what Sun Gan wants to say is to repair a hammer. If I, Sun Gan, could build the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, would I still be stuck in Xichuan for so long? What a joke.
However, as the leader of the main pipeline road transportation, Sun Gan cannot say that he cannot repair it. He can only say that he is repairing it and is already in the planning. As for when to repair it, it depends on the planning. Anyway, the technology has not met the standards at present, and the problem of permafrost cannot be solved.
"Oh, then let's get on the line first. How many months will the Xiliang Iron Cavalry arrive?" Chen Xi naturally arranged Sun Gan. If you were to prepare, I believed it. I am such a person. After saying that, I didn't give Sun Gan a chance to explain, and turned around and asked Li You.
"I guess that Zhiran and the others should go back to the Pamir Mountains in July at the latest. They have been floating outside for a year and they should come back." Li You thought for a while. Based on his understanding of Li Jue and the other two, these three should go back to their doghouses.
The average altitude on the other side of the Pamir Mountains is also more than 4,000 meters. The main forces of Sansha and Xiliang Iron Cavalry are basically stationed in an area of about 5,000 meters. For the backbone of Sansha and Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is the same as the normal cavalry fighting in another area, and there is no big problem.
Besides, the combat power of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry has gone up. Not to mention that the Xiangxiong Dynasty is the consortium of tribal chiefs, even if the soldiers are released, Li Jue can hammer it to death. The main backbone elite is not the significance of this!
"Give them some excretion fee and let them go to the Tibetan armed parade in Qinghai-Tibet, so that Shule, Yutian, and the virtuous survivors will stop making trouble. Since you have gone up, as long as you follow the command of the Han Dynasty, form villages, and maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty's border, we can let them eat and dress well." Chen Xi was interested in living people who could go up to Qinghai-Tibet, and that place was really not something you could go up just by wanting it.
In addition, Chen Xi was thinking about Shule. The people in the Western Regions of Khotan were actually Sima Lang. Chen Xi’s reputation was very famous. As long as ordinary people believed Chen Xi’s promise once, they would have no resistance to Chen Xi’s promise.
Even if some individuals in Shule and Khotan awaken the so-called nationalism and patriotism, most ordinary people actually have no motivation to resist Chen Xi.
Beigui's spies are so outstanding that they can't resist Zhuge Liang's policies for too long.
Therefore, Chen Xi guessed that Shule and the survivors of Khotan would resist Sima Lang, but it did not mean that they would resist him. Chen Xi. After all, there is a saying that capitalism rejects socialism, but capitalism does not reject socialist money.
What's more, this is also an opportunity. Qinghai-Tibet is all Qiang people, and that is the best choice made without a choice. Now that we can make a breakthrough in the best choice, Chen Xi is certainly willing to make some breakthroughs. Why not do things that are not cost-effective?
As for what might be wrong with Shule and the likes of Khotan, Chen Xi doesn’t care much about it. Do they need to eat? Do they need money? Do they need to live better? Do they need! Since they need it, what else should they worry about? This is his potential supporter of Chen Xi.
I didn’t see Chen Xi earlier, in order to achieve quick results, he forcibly promoted a lot of compulsory policies. At that time, there were so many people fighting against him, but wasn’t it really good to go afterwards?
The people are all realistic. In the end, they will have to fall into their jobs. The Shule people and the Khotan people are not successful in their cultivation and can survive without having to eat. But since they need to eat, Chen Xi has some way to settle these people.
The Han Dynasty has absorbed so many people who surrendered, but there has not been any unrest so far. To put it bluntly, isn’t it because the people everywhere are very realistic?
Even hundreds of thousands of Hu people realized that scientific breeding could completely end their own rush to live in water and plants, reduce their burdens, and make their lives better, they naturally gave up traditional nomadic methods and turned to approach the Han Dynasty. I can't handle Shule and Yutian? Do you look down on me, Chen Xi, right?
No one of them was a fool. Even Sima Lang was a thirty-year-old official in the official history. Naturally, Chen Xi understood Chen Xi's thoughts the moment he spoke - this was really a member of the Han and Qiang clan, and he was prepared for the opportunity.
But everyone present also realized that this was indeed a good idea.
"In this way, the plan needs to be changed." Guo Jia put together the official documents in his hand and spoke in a tone of eagerness to try.
"Just arrange the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to garrison the Xiangxiong Dynasty." Li You's attitude was always simple and crude. As a world-class overlord, you are so close that I don't station an elite force in your capital. Doesn't this mean that I look down on you?
What, you said you need the protection of your Imperial Guard? Do you look down on our world-class overlords and think we cannot provide you with protection?
It’s not our Han Dynasty. Look at how much civil strife has been reduced in the 36 countries of the Western Regions since we garrisoned the troops. It is also for your safety considerations. If we don’t garrison and your family is wiped out, will there be a big problem?
What, don’t you believe that once our Western Regions garrison leaves, your country will be wiped out? I go. Shule also thought so more than a hundred years ago, but Shule was still the one who helped restore the country.
Do you know what expressions did Shule and King Yutian when Ban Chao was going to return to Chang'an? It was really the expression of a dead father - "I am like my parents, so I must not go." I hugged each other and couldn't do it. I guess that after we garrisoned the troops, we would leave, and you would also have the same expression.
"Ah, this is too rough. We are civilized people." Lu Su sighed and said.
"Oh, then, then, Shule, Khotan, or the Qiang people fought with the Xiangxiong Dynasty, let's go to level the matter?" Liu Ye suggested with a serious expression.
"Can I ask what type of leveling is?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Ye and asked. There are many types of leveling in the Han Dynasty. The ordinary ones are called each hitting 50 big boards, and the most common ones are called each hitting 50 big boards. The former eliminates the war, while the latter eliminates the country.
"Of course it's the leveling of Emperor Wu's version." Liu Ye said naturally.
The so-called version of Wu Emperor's leveling came from Minyue and Nanyue. The two countries were fighting each other, and both countries were considered vassals of the Han Dynasty, but they were not very obedient, which made Emperor Wu a little annoyed, so he sent someone to level it, and both countries were gone.
"Okay." Chen Xi pondered for a moment, basically determined the tone of this group of people, so he didn't say anything. He was not deeply touched by the Xiangxiong Dynasty, but Qinghai-Tibet would definitely be under the rule of the central government. Since this is the case, it is indeed a matter of right.
"This way, we will return to the original question, who will go up?" Chen Xi said to Li You.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry can go up. The problem is that Chen Xi cannot station the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. If you station there, Chen Xi may suffer a loss!
In the absence of roads, the cost of transporting grain upward is higher than that of the grain and grass transported, and it is several times higher.
This is also why the fighting power of Ju Tang was at its peak, but there was still no good way to deal with Tubo. First of all, it was difficult for people to go up. After finally practicing, people could rush up, but the food and grass were not easy to send, so they could not last through Tubo.
There is no doubt that Chen Xi's words are equivalent to arguing with Sun Qian. Sun Qian really doesn't want to build this road, but if he has to go to Tibet and if necessary, he can place an elite force to suppress the Qinghai-Tibet region, then this road must be built.
"Prevent the road first." Li You said a fair word. Some things are not something that Sun Qian doesn't want to do, but Sun Qian also needs to consider other aspects. "First use manpower and animal power to walk on the plateau mountain roads Qinghai-Tibet. As for material consumption, if there are 8,000 people, it should be able to transport them up?"
"Actually, the biggest problem is that we can't save too much output there." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The Tang Dynasty in the later generations could not kill Tubo. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is limited by logistics, food and military deployment, and the Han Dynasty is the same at present.
If a dynasty with a population of only 400,000 on the plain, even aristocratic and wild-minded family dared to fight, how could the Han Dynasty work together to consider how to deal with this dynasty like now?
"What are the Faqiang and Qingqiang eating on it? Haven't they all gathered villages and merged into the villages? It's impossible for them to continue to be nomadic." Lu Su also began to pay attention to the snow area issues by packing up his things.
"The Han Dynasty's cattle and sheep subsidies and barley planting are fine, and of course, it's the most important thing to survive by raising geese on the plateau." Chen Xi looked at Lu Su and said, "Don't you know that we raised nearly one million geese in Qinghai-Tibet?"
"No one has ever said this." Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"Geese basically have no altitude sickness, especially gray goose." Chen Xi suddenly said something Lu Su didn't understand.
This is not a joke, but the fact that the gray geese in China are all variants of wild geese. The two can hybridize and reproduce, so gray geese do not have altitude sickness at all. The geese will not change at all. The wild geese can fly to a height of 10,000 meters.
So when I was sending Qingqiang and Faqiang to Qinghai-Tibet, Chen Xi not only gave Qingqiang and Faqiang some plateau planted seeds and some cattle and sheep subsidies, but also gave more geese, because this is really easy to raise, and now it seems that it has been successful.
But the output of Qinghai-Tibet is too low. Under the conditions of limited farming area and limited grass and feed, the scale of geese raising cannot become large, so naturally it will not be rich.
