"The reason why Gu built the Silk Road was to use Yumen Pass and Yang Pass as links to cooperate with Xiazhou, Liangzhou and Xianyang to build an economy."
Ying Gao talked eloquently to Wang Ben and Wang Hu, showing his ambition: "So, use the Silk Road to absorb the wealth of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions and the far west into Xianyang, Liangzhou, to support Xianyang and Liangzhou.
Xiazhou, the entire northwest of Great Qin."
“In Gu’s plan, both the Chi Road from Liangzhou to Xianyang and the Chi Road connecting Xiazhou are top priorities. However, the Chi Road has not been connected until now, which has affected the effectiveness in this regard.
"
Hearing this, Wang Hu also nodded. He is sitting here, so he naturally knows that business is endless, and the amount of business taxes collected is clearer than anyone else.
The current construction of Liangzhou, as well as the military expenses for breaking up the army and guarding Yumen Pass and Yang Pass basically come from the tax revenue from this trade road.
"So the Crown Prince went west this time, not only to Liangzhou but also to Xiazhou, just to promote this matter?" As soon as his thoughts changed, Wang Hu understood the purpose of Ying Gao's westward journey.
"Um."
Nodding, Ying Gao chuckled and said: "This is just a purpose, and it is also to use the power of Gu to intimidate the surrounding foreign races, so as to ensure that when the Great Qin comes east, Liangzhou and Xiazhou are safe and sound."
Originally, Ying Gao planned to let Wang Hu go west to Dawan to obtain the blood-stained horses to build heavy cavalry. However, at this time, it was the Bronze Age, and soon it would be the Iron Age. The update was too fast, and it did not make much sense.
The current Great Qin Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world. No matter whether it goes east to destroy the country, or whatever, the current Great Qin's combat power is more than enough.
Thoughts arose in his mind, then fell, and finally disappeared. Ying Gao did not mention that his trip to Yumen Pass was to meet his beloved general who had followed him for the first time.
"When my father's edict is issued, I will lead a hundred thousand troops into Xianyang. Above Liangzhou, except for the fifty thousand python troops, the rest are all servant troops."
Having said this, Ying Gao took a deep look at Wang Hu and warned, "So, after Po Jun leaves, Wang Hu, you will keep an eye on the situation in Liangzhou and send the news back immediately if there is any change."
.”
"Gu will let Wansheng's army enter Liangzhou, and even mobilize a large army to enter Liangzhou to suppress all the young people."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Wang Hu also looked solemn. He knew the deep meaning of Ying Gao's words. When he heard that Ying Gao was going to mobilize a hundred thousand troops to enter Xianyang, he had such worries in his heart.
Such worries are definitely not without purpose. He believes in the servant army Wang Hu, but does not believe it. He always remembers Ying Gao's words, that is, people who are not my race must have different hearts.
After taking a deep look at Wang Hu, Ying Gao nodded and said, "Well, the next time I enter Liangzhou will be during the Western Expedition. When you make great military exploits, I will give you a name."
"promise."
At this moment, Wang Hu felt a little excited. He knew that it was an honor for them to be named by Ying Gao. The most important thing was that compared to Wang Li, Meng Liao and others, his name was
Not very loud.
In Ying Gao's words, in the future they will all be first-class military generals, and their names will be spread throughout the Qin Dynasty and be worshiped by countless descendants. Naturally, they need a resounding name.
.........
Half a month later, Ying Gao finally returned to Xianyang, and with him came a hundred thousand soldiers who broke the army.
One hundred thousand Po Army was stationed outside Xianyang City. Ying Gao did not dare to delay, so he hurried to the study room of Xianyang Palace. He knew in his heart that one hundred thousand Po Army was stationed outside Xianyang City, and it would definitely make many people feel like a light on their backs.
In particular, he must give an explanation to Ying Zheng and the entire Qin government. The reason why some rules exist is that everyone abides by them.
The most important thing is that even if there is an edict from Ying Zheng, he must show respect for the royal power.
"My son, Ying Gao, pays homage to his father. My father will live forever and the Qin Dynasty will live forever!" Walking into the study room of Xianyang Palace, Ying Gao saluted Ying Zheng and said.
Looking at Ying Gao below, Ying Zheng was not surprised. He held the most powerful secret power in the world and knew every move of Ying Gao.
What's more, Xianyang itself is the home stadium of Black Ice Platform and Luo Wang.
"No need to be polite, get up!"
Ying Zheng took a deep look at Ying Gao, who looked respectful, smiled, and said: "How is the situation in Liangzhou and Xiazhou during this trip to the west?"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Ying Gao stood up and faced Ying Zheng and said, "Father, this time I am going south to Xiazhou. The school palace above Xiazhou has been built. At the same time, customs have been changed, beliefs have been destroyed, and beliefs have been burned.
The book matter has been completed. Although it has not reached the point of people's hearts turning to Qin, at least they know in their hearts what Qin is."
"Wang Li's 100,000-strong army has just begun to show its scale. Although it has never been on the battlefield, it has often clashed with the people of Baiyue, and it is definitely not a new soldier."
At this point, Ying Gao took a sip of herbal tea, moistened his throat and continued, "The Chi Road from Xianyang to Bashu has been completely connected, and now only Xiazhou is left."
"Shennong Valley's research and development of rice is at a critical moment. If it succeeds this time, it will basically meet the requirements."
"Then I went to Liangzhou. Compared with Xiazhou, the situation in Liangzhou is slightly better. They are reclaiming wasteland, organizing grazing and training war horses."
"Above Liangzhou, the school palace and various buildings have been initially completed, and the Silk Road has been initially opened. Business travel is endless. The business tax alone is enough to support an army of 200,000."
…
At this point, Ying Gao changed the subject and turned to Ying Zheng, saying: "For the war in the Central Plains, I have mobilized a hundred thousand troops to invade the Central Plains. This is the military talisman of the troops."
Taking the military talisman from Ying Gao, Ying Zheng looked at it and gave it to Ying Gao. He knew in his heart that even if Ying Gao did not have the military talisman, he could still mobilize a hundred thousand troops.
The reason why Ying Gao gave him the military talisman was just because Po Jun was stationed outside Xianyang City, which gave him peace of mind.
After thinking this, Ying Zheng spoke up and said: "Take the military talisman. This time the disaster in Longxi County and Beidi County has been alleviated, and the government and the people of Qin Dynasty have tended to be stable."
"It's time to march out from the east to destroy Zhao, so the broken army can play its greatest role in your hands."
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, Ying Gao took back the Army-breaking Talisman, knelt down to one side and fell silent.
Looking at Ying Gao, who looked as usual, Ying Zheng took the case and said meaningfully: "It's good that the army under your command is called Beiliang Army. I hope Beiliang is not miserable."
"On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight. If Pojun goes to the battlefield, he is afraid that the losses will be huge. After all, they are all new soldiers, and Zhao Jun is by no means idle."
