Chapter 1262 Muchuan deploys new infrastructure, internal security must fight against external forces
Especially regarding the urban construction of Beiping City, it has been a month since Muchuan took office as the Grand Governor of the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Empire. During this month, Muchuan held various meetings to arrange various construction plans and reform measures.
Especially for the urban construction of Beiping City, Muchuan carried out drastic construction.
The first is the city wall of Beiping City and the gate towers in the outer city area. These need to be re-reinforced, and new buildings need to be added inside the city.
For example, an elevator should be built on the city wall so that troops and people can be transported directly from the outside.
In addition, a special place for soldiers to rest should be built in the city, and dormitories should be planned to make it convenient for soldiers to stay and cultivate their discipline.
Secondly, there is the issue of security. Although Peiping is one of the most prosperous cities in the northern end of the empire, there are still many dangers.
Especially at night, when there are so many curfews.
Finally, Muchuan decided to form a patrol battalion. This battalion was composed of ten guards, each with five people as a unit. They were responsible for patrolling and maintaining public order and ensuring the tranquility of Beiping City at night.
.
This not only protects the security of Beiping City, but also ensures the rest and life of the soldiers.
Of course, the patrol battalion must be staffed by soldiers with high martial arts skills. Ordinary people are simply not qualified for this position.
The generals in Beiping City have known this for a long time, so they were particularly careful during the selection process and selected more than 4,000 warriors with good physical fitness to hold this position.
Muchuan planned to renovate the old streets of Beiping City, give them a new look, and widen the city gates of Beiping City.
After the city gate is repaired, a new official road to Luoyang still needs to be built.
This is a huge project, but it must be done. After all, the importance of Beiping City is that it is the bridgehead against the Liao people. As long as Beiping City is not lost, the northern defense line will not collapse.
The defense line outside Beiping City, apart from the local area, is the strongest in Andong Protectorate and Nanyang County. These two are key defense areas, while the other two are wrapped by other areas, forming a triangle situation.
Muchuan's goal is to gradually build the Andong Protectorate and the Northeast, including the future Shengjing City, into modern towns from north to south, and gather all the surrounding villages to form a relatively closed area.
Muchuan's ambitions are still very high. He plans to build a residential area for at least eight million people in Beiping City. He even plans to build several rivers around Beiping City to divert water sources from several nearby counties into Beiping City, providing a
Peiping City provides a steady stream of water.
The city's population has reached 260,000. According to your instructions, some small farms and pastures have been established in the suburbs. The daily harvest is small, but there is still a lack of some food. I ask the governor for instructions, do you think?"
A craftsman walked up to Muchuan and reported.
Muchuan frowned and pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Then let's follow the original method, and provide two meals of food every day.
As for other things, I will consider them after I return."
After Muchuan finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal him to leave, and fell into deep thought.
The current population of Beiping City has exceeded 260,000. Such a huge city not only has a huge amount of tax revenue, but also requires a huge amount of consumption.
Beiping City not only needs to provide food for the soldiers, but also needs to provide food for the residents in Beiping City.
Muchuan now finally knows that becoming a local governor is not that simple.
Even though Muchuan's thoughts are beautiful, the reality is very rough.
If Muchuan wants to carry out construction, he must first deal with the threat to the north.
Because I had killed some Turkic envoys some time ago, when the Turks knew that Muchuan had gone to take office, they began to harass the border.
Now, Muchuan has received news from several border gates that the Turks are already attacking border checkpoints or attacking border cities.
And the situation continues to get worse.
Muchuan is now eager to deal with the threat to the north as soon as possible before considering other things.
"It seems I'm going to find a chance to go to the grassland."
Muchuan murmured to himself.
Now Muchuan already has some cavalry, but it is far from enough.
The Turks in the north, no matter which one they are, have a large number of cavalry, and they are all elite.
The Turks in the north are not nomadic people. Those Turks are masters of riding and archery.
He is also equipped with armor and holds a scimitar.
The northern grassland has a complex environment, dense vegetation, vast territory and sparsely populated areas, making it suitable for cavalry operations.
Therefore, the Turkic cavalry has extremely strong combat effectiveness, which is definitely not comparable to that of the nomads.
Moreover, the Turks are good at fighting in the jungle. If they go to the grasslands rashly, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
After Muchuan thought about it carefully, he felt that he could only send some scouts to conduct reconnaissance to find out the strength of the Turks, and then make a judgment on how to defeat the Turks at the border.
Thinking of this, Muchuan summoned all his counselors.
"I just received intelligence from the north. Now the Turks on the grassland are constantly harassing the border, trying to stop our Northern Expedition. Do you have any plans for this matter?"
Muchuan asked everyone.
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.
"Reporting to the governor, now that the Turks have invaded our northern border, we should mobilize enough troops to garrison at the border as soon as possible to ensure the security of our north and drive out the Turks in the north."
Zhang Wen said.
"Yes, Governor, now the Turks are harassing our border. If we continue to let it go, I'm afraid there will be more dangers in the north."
Chen Hao also followed suit.
Muchuan smiled and shook his head after hearing what these two people said. They were still a bit too young.
"Zhang Wen, Chen Hao, don't you understand?"
Muchuan asked rhetorically.
After Zhang Wen and Chen Hao heard Muchuan's words, a trace of doubt flashed across their faces, and they asked in confusion: "Please give me a clear explanation from the governor."
Muchuan said: "Now the Turks are constantly harassing the border, and what we need to do now is to send enough troops to resist the Turks' attacks.
Now the Turks only dare to attack our border checkpoints and cities, but do not dare to enter our hinterland. That is because we have enough troops to defend, and the Turks are advancing towards our border. We must take measures, otherwise there will be many
People were killed and injured, so we need to capture several counties in the north as soon as possible and stabilize the north."
Muchuan said.
As soon as Muchuan finished speaking, the civil servant standing by said: "Governor Qi, there is a place called Bailang County to the north of our Beiping City. This place is not far from us, less than fifty miles away."
